Chapter 142: A Sudden Thought

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chong walked home by himself, his mind still preoccupied with the intel he obtained from the young lady earlier. He had imagined the Sanctuary to be powerful, but did not expect it to as powerful as he now knew. No wonder it could hold itself against Black Cove and the MPA! The Sanctuary’s power came from its mentalists and mentalist pilots, and this made Black Cove and the MPA wary of it.

Black Cove, MPA and Sanctuary - Ye Chong considered the Three Forces, interrelated to but independent from one another. The Three Forces had many similarities, such as mech technologies that far exceeded that of the Five Galaxies, and their total mystery, as if they came from a different, powerful and mysterious world.

As for that young woman called Zhu Ling, Ye Chong let her go in the end! While killing her was easy, Ye Chong did not really feel like killing her. He did not enjoy killing, and he had only killed others for survival. If it was not necessary, why should he kill another person? Beside, he was quite impressed by the young woman - calm, rational, and persevering, Ye Chong saw traces of himself in her!

The young woman left with a calm expression, as though she had expected to be released. After some rest, the young woman showed remarkable physical capabilities, her movements athletic, as she gradually vanished out of Ye Chong’s sight. Looking out to the empty shore of pebbles, Ye Chong could not help but sigh a little. To survive was rarely a simple task! That precious Red Liquor sat quietly in Ye Chong’s bag.

Back at Lunatic Guan’s place, Ye Chong realized that he had returned empty handed from his trip outdoors today, and smiled wryly.

Inside the house, Lunatic Guan was in a rare state of sobriety, packing her things energetically. Lunatic Guan saw Ye Chong and called to him, ”Little Ye, did you see my light yellow jacket?”

”Light yellow?” Ye Chong cocked his head to its side and thought for a moment. ”It's been probably thrown out!” He was cleaning up that day, and had gotten rid of a mountain of things. Ye Chong could not recall if a light yellow jacket was one of them. However, since it could not be found, the probability of it being thrown away was high!

”What? Thrown out?” Lunatic Guan’s expression froze, and immediately turned into great anger, ”How dare you throw it out! Didn’t you know I’m still going to wear it? Didn’t you know …”

”I didn’t!” Ye Chong replied calmly but clearly.

Lunatic Guan was instantly silenced, and remembered then that she had asked him to clean up the house without giving any specifications. Lunatic Guan calmed down a little and humphed coldly, ”I’ll let you off this time, next time ask me before you throw anything out, don’t just throw anything away!”

”Okay!” Ye Chong replied plainly.

”I’m going out these two days, so you stay in the house. Hmm, I’ve prepared some course material for you in Room Seven’s photon processor, with detailed requirements. You’ll do a test when I’m back, and if you fail, hehe …” Lunatic Guan was obviously still holding grudge towards Ye Chong’s role in her lost jacket, and her tone was unpleasant.

Ye Chong was like a rock, unmoved by Lunatic Guan’s tone, and replied flatly, ”Okay!”

”Hmph!” Lunatic Guan gave another cold humph and continued packing.

Ye Chong gathered from experience that Lunatic Guan would periodically make a long trip outdoors. During his time at Nan Nan’s house, whenever this happened, Ye Chong would have to visit earlier to retrieve the strengthening chemicals. Thus, while Ye Chong did not know where she was going, he was still not surprised at the trip.

Lunatic Guan hastily left, and Ye Chong was left alone in the house. Ye Chong enjoyed the peace. There were not too much of Lunatic Guan’s prepared materials to study, and Ye Chong mastered them all in only a few days, and spent another two days collecting plant specimens. Ye Chong now had his time to himself with his tasks completed.

Ye Chong thought of the day he worried about not having a mech for transport, and had a sudden thought - perhaps he can try making a full-skeleton mech. Once the thought occurred to him, Ye Chong could not stop thinking about it.

The thought was too enticing!
