Chapter 151: Nine Gates of Daylight (2/2)

However, Ye Chong’s mind could not help but think back of that snow white training garb, although the imposing and inviolable face was gradually becoming out of focus. Only the white training garb remained clear as day in Ye Chong’s mind.

”Sigh, what am I thinking all of this for? It’s all that d*mn Shang’s fault, I still prefer Mu! Hmm, counting back, it’s about time for Mu to come out, Mu must now still be analyzing that recording underneath!”

Shang’s words were thoroughly ignored by Ye Chong, as his thought began to wonder somehow, from the past to present, through battle after battle, meeting people after people. Images and figures from the past came to mind like a dream, and for a moment, he felt a little dazed.

Finally, on the sixth day of the flight, throughout which Shang continued blabbering on, Mu finally came out. Ye Chong could finally have some peaceful silence! Once Mu came out, he discussed the results of his analysis with Ye Chong. Ye Chong also presented his own analysis, and they both exchanged their opinions on the matter.

In the next seven days of the journey, Ye Chong benefited very much! Mu’s analysis results were the main reason for that. Mu’s database had a good volume of information on kinematics and combat, which made his logical analysis unquestionable. Unlike Mu’s typical statistical analysis, Ye Chong’s analysis may be incomplete or even inaccurate, but he still had some rather unique insights. If a master in combat were here, he would definitely approve of Ye Chong’s intuition! However, Ye Chong did not understand that concept, as he could only vaguely sense that certain alternatives would be better than others. As for Mu, he was only focusing on the analysis results.

However, these were only theories. Theoretical understanding and application were two different things. Without proper training, the body could not remember the movements, and with large variation in the enemy’s moves, it would not only reduce one’s capabilities, but also present an opportunity for the enemy. It seemed that he had a new training course now! Fortunately, Ye Chong never complained of too many training courses.

It was only a pity that the time and location did not allow him to begin with this training.

Wei Xi looked at Ye Chong through the surveillance device. The man never left the room, and even had her send him his meals. No matter how she looked at it, he was a thoroughly obsessed scientist, and should not pose a threat. Nonetheless, why did she feel that something was wrong? Wei Xi frowned, her delicate profile tinged with vexation.

Nast finally docked, and this meant that the moment of truth was near! In truth, Ye Chong had thought of hijacking Nast in this period. With Guardian and Mu, Ye Chong believed that the probability of success was high. However, even if he hijacked Nast, he still could not leave the Orbits. Without the Orbits’ star map, he could not even know where he was and hence, could not do a warp jump. Leaving the Orbits would be impossible.

On the thirteenth day, the starship finally reached its destination.

Under Wei Xi’s guidance, Ye Chong left the ship.

Ye Chong took one step across the ledge of the cabin’s door, and his eyes automatically swept across the view in front of him. Abruptly, as though struck by lightning, he stood frozen and his eyes glowed in stupefaction!

Heavens! What was this place?

Before him was a dream-like metropolis!

From afar, the city’s silhouette seemed like a scale model right in front of Ye Chong, giving a feeling of surrealism. Skyscrapers rose in all kinds of shapes under the illumination of dazzling artificial lighting, reflecting off glaring halos. One could not help but gasp in amazement at the sight. The buildings were massive, some shaped like large honeycombs, others like towers; while they came in a variety of designs, the one thing they share in common was their soaring heights. Blue Ocean Academy’s 800-storey main building would fit in perfectly. Unlike the natural refreshing style that Ye Chong saw in other places in the Orbits, the buildings here were all in modernistic and metallic fashion. The Five Galaxies’ most popular and common high-tech vibe permeated every corner of this world.

Ye Chong could not see the sky, since above him was an endless stretch of light blue metallic ceiling, reaching all the way to the horizon. The ceiling was equipped with numerous artificial lights. This place did not look dim at all; the world was bright as day.

Countless mechs flew swiftly across the sky, like a dense swarm of bees returning to their nests, casting many vague shadows on the ground.

Ye Chong smelled an earthly scent. Could this be underground? Ye Chong’s thoughts began to run wild, as he was shook like a storm was inside him. How much had the Sanctuary’s technology really advanced?

Behind him was the docked Nast starship. Nast was a large ship, a truly massive structure. Here, however, it looked tiny. Ye Chong found that many of the docked starships here were about the same size as Nast, although some of them were even larger. Numerous engineering mechs were busying themselves around in an orderly fashion.

He was now probably at the city’s docking station. Ye Chong even had a sinister thought - if he destroyed a starship here, would it have a domino effect?

”Welcome to Nine Gates of Daylight!” Wei Xi’s sweet and mellow voice was tinged with pride.
