Chapter 311: Makeover
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chong sat at one corner near the window in the spaceship. The columns of nebula were gorgeous and calming to his soul. While enjoying the precious peace and quiet he finally acquired, he looked at the reflection of himself. Mu Shang would probably fail to recognize him at first scan too. His skin was yellowish, a pale banana yellow, while also filled with reddish blemishes over his plain features - rather threatening if you would ask me. The other passengers seemed to have agreed too, as they were very avoidant of Ye Chong, as if he was infected by some highly infectious horrible virus from unknown space. To be honest, Ye Chong was being stalked by the securities and was demanded to have a thorough bodycheck thrice before he even got on-board, well, since he looked too convincing to be infected.
Such drastic approach of makeover he used was from the ancient by the alchemists. And somehow Lunatic Guan was very much into it, as there were rich entries on the stages of makeovers in her writing. Ironically, Ye Chong picked the most despised method by Lunatic Guan, as she found the method to be too substandard, while spoiling her pretty face. That costed too much for a mere disguise.
That was not Ye Chong's concern however. He preferred a stat-boost rather than a decorative-boost. Furthermore, this method was proven to be highly effective, altering his appearance the most - exactly what he desired.
By combining fluids extracted from few strange plants in a prefixed proportion, a reagent would be formed, which would give a yellowish texture and poxes to your skin that would make you unsurprising even when you slept in one of the wards at the local hospital. The reagent was not harmful to the skin and was pretty lasting, waterproof too. Only a particular kind of cleaning agent could remove the coloring effect.
Ye Chong pondered long to figure out a proper disguise as he skimmed through the entries inside the chip given by Lunatic Guan, since he had hardly investigated this side of alchemy before. Quite some time was also consumed on mixing the reagent at the right proportion for his size. The other methods would require a few rare materials so it would be impractical to have all the Sangs discolored, although they seemed to be quite envious of the chameleon show their sir had performed, since it was a hassle to have a mask all the time.
Speaking of the Sangs, as the new rule enforced, they were forbidden from leaving the base as long as they failed to hide their threatening aura. Guo and the folks were also there, as to provide assistance on Sang Pu's works.
Ye Chong also brought a Blaze-III in the keystone for usual transportation.
He leaned against the chair and closed his eyes.
The Ye family, what kind of family it is I wonder... I came all the way here just wanting to know the family directly myself, although Sang Fan and his brothers showed resistance on this, I must.
What also hurried Ye Chong out of the base was his fear of how he lacked the understanding on the entire He Yue galaxy. Practically, he could not name anything he really knew about the place. The virtual networking world was not as common as the one in the 5 major galaxies and it was a stressful experience for him to overcome the paranoia of logging in, wondering if a super Maverick like Mu Shang would be there too. If so, it would be too dangerous. Jumping into action without knowing what you are jumping into, is certainly suicidal!
To make the Sangs less worried, of course he was equipped with a communicator.
Ye Chong was a figure from a thriller now, no one would dare to join his screen time. That would be perfect, he just needed some silence, though the passengers could not stop their hustling whispers. There were passionate exchanges at some spots in the cabin, which were pleasing to his tensed neurons. For once, he felt blended in the environment.
But one particular discussion caught his attention.
”I heard that Kyaji was killed,” a blonde young man whispered.
”Good. I was getting impatient seeing him still alive. He's a nuisance to our society.” A broad faced man in his 30s was pleased by it.
”Are you sure?” One person was showing skepticism, ”Were your sources reliable? Kyaji is still something you know, who would have killed him?” The participants of the conversation were being agreeable to this doubt. Kyaji had established the authority for very long with the brutality imprinted in mind of every person, especially those who frequented the trade market for they had heard various horror stories about the murder of known pilots in the hands of Kyaji.
”Meh.” The blonde young man disdainfully replied, ”Kyaji was nothing alright? I could simply name a handful of people who could kill him effortlessly. Say... the three main aristocrats, Brahmara*, Ye Yin, Huang Jiming, I swear the family would slice that Kyaji like me slicing my chicken, not to mention we have 3 godly figures I have mentioned. Even Shi Tianlun from the Shi family, Mi He from the Mi family could triumph over Kyaji easily on a one-on-one.”
”You have a point, but of all these figures you have mentioned, who would have the time to spare on defeating Kyaji?” Rebutted one person of the crowd, which stirred up a session of agreeable nodding from the others.
This was convincing as those aristocrats had always cared about benefits, they would not even care if the murder involved strangers not belonged to their family.
”Although I heard the one who killed Kyaji was not from the aristocrat,” added the blonde man, with a vibe of mystery.
”Who? Who was it then?”
”I dunno...” The young man shrugged.
”Oh... Aren't you that Hu Chui? Man, I really thought someone killed Kyaji at first.”
”Hah, aren't you that notorious boy who cried wolf?”
