Chapter 304: Chapter 16 Peace and Pinky_2 Chapter 304: Chapter 16 Peace and Pinky_2 “So...

I’m giving it to you!”

Lee Ningning placed the worn purse into Lin Xian’s hands, gripping his palm tight, and smiled at the miraculous man:

“Lin Xian, I wish you safe travels.”

...

Lin Xian clenched his right fist, feeling the warmth of the purse.

He didn’t say much, just accepted it and put it into his pocket:

“This time, I’ll skip the formalities.”

Lin Xian stood up and looked at Lee Ningning, who was a head shorter than him:

“I will return it to you personally...

with the gifts I brought you.”

He waved his hand and turned around.

Lin Xian bid farewell to Lee Ningning and approached the helium balloon filled with gas.

He patted Big Face Cat’s helmet and tapped Ah Zhuang on the shoulder:

“Let’s go.”

...

...

Whoooooosh!!

At an altitude of twenty thousand meters, even within the stratosphere, the cold wind was still biting.

The stratosphere only had more horizontal airflow, not a layer with no wind.

Lin Xian signaled to Ah Zhuang and Big Face Cat to get ready and follow his lead shortly after ascent as planned.

The gap in the air defense net was located ten thousand meters above the White Jade Statue of Zhao Yingjun.

At that distance, there were no visible reference objects to navigate towards, so Lin Xian couldn’t accurately direct the two where to fly.

However, having flown so many times, Lin Xian had his own unique method of navigating.

This method couldn’t be expressed verbally; it was a combination of visual and sensory experience.

Thus...

he had to jump first and then locate himself precisely, aligning Big Face Cat, Ah Zhuang, and himself vertically so they could jump through the gap in the air defense net together.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Xian shouted in his space helmet, uncertain if the other two could hear him.

He leaped from the helium balloon, stretching his body in the familiar winds to slow his descent, waiting for Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang to catch up.

Soon, Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang jumped out too, adjusting their postures and direction high up in the sky, following behind Lin Xian.

Their parachuting and gliding skills were very good, even surpassing Lin Xian’s expertise.

After all...

Parachuting was just a hobby for Lin Xian in his dreams, but for Ah Zhuang and Big Face Cat, it was the most crucial skill for their survival.

A recreational hobby could never match a skill honed in life-and-death situations.

So, before long, Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang were flying above Lin Xian, one higher and one lower, adjusting their direction with him.

And that’s not all.

This Memorial Square was also devoid of traffic flow, horn honking, and except for this statue, there were no other entertainment facilities, which inevitably meant that large crowds would not gather here – at most, there would just be a bunch of people who liked quietness taking a stroll.

“You certainly thought things through...”

Lin Xian smiled as he looked towards the darkness-engulfed earth, staring at Zhao Yingjun, who had faced the direction of the East Sea 600 years ago:

“It’s just that your puzzle seems a bit too meticulous, making it quite hard to find.”

At that moment.

Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang, too, had taken off their heavy spacesuits, now lightly equipped, carrying only a backup parachute pack as they walked over to Lin Xian’s side.

The two followed Lin Xian’s gaze, staring at the White Jade Statue that stood dozens of meters tall.

“Ha!

Such a tall statue!

Never expected...

that the gap in the anti-air network would be so conveniently located right above the statue!”

“That couldn’t just be a coincidence, right?

It feels as though it was deliberately designed that way.” Big Face Cat turned his head and looked at Lin Xian:

“Lin Xian, what’s the story behind this statue?

Who is this woman?”

“She’s probably...”

Lin Xian paused for a moment and said with a smile:

“Probably the goddess of victory, you could call her that.”

“The goddess of victory, that’s a good omen.” Upon hearing this, Big Face Cat immediately showed reverence, pressing his hands together and, along with Ah Zhuang, bowed towards the statue, murmuring what seemed to be a prayer.

“Alright, let’s move out, we still have a lot to do.” Lin Xian urged.

Big Face Cat and Ah Zhuang nodded:

“Let’s go!”

Click!

Suddenly...

A familiar crisp clashing sound that could raise one’s blood pressure sounded from beneath their feet.

Lin Xian looked down.

He saw a rusty iron clamp tightly gripping his ankle!

He couldn’t help but sigh.

Turning his head.

As expected...

Behind him, two mechanical eyes glowing green fixedly stared at Lin Xian, as a clunky mechanical voice arose from the speaker:

“Trash!

Trash!

Trash detected!”
