Chapter 122: Chapter 20: Martial World Emergency Rescue

Zhang Xiaoman leaned down to look through the virtual screen of the holographic driving mode and discovered that below the clouds, the shadow of the city had long since disappeared, replaced by a continuous range of mountains and boundless forests, with migratory birds flying occasionally.

"Wait, migratory birds!?" Zhang Xiaoman suddenly snapped back to reality, "Isn’t it summer now? If I can see migratory birds here, could it be that I have flown to the north?"

Thinking about this, he immediately opened the map feature on the vehicle’s system and after checking his location, his face showed astonishment.

"Anling! This is Anling! Did I just randomly drive around and end up in Binglong Province!?"

Zhang Xiaoman had now gained a deep appreciation for the speed of the anti-gravity car.

He glanced at the operational page in front of him, where the energy status still showed 99%, almost unchanged.

Zhang Xiaoman had seen in the manual that it was a technology beyond his understanding, something called a graviton reactor, which theoretically could keep this anti-gravity car running at full power for over 35 years, a true space technology.

Thus, he didn’t need to worry about the consumption of energy, and if he only turned on the invisibility function, he could maintain a stable power supply indefinitely.

The car was also equipped with a highly advanced electrostatic capacitor recharging unit, enabling this reconnaissance-type anti-gravity car to operate continuously for extended periods.

As for other functions, of course, there were many, like the core function of this car—scanning.

However, the scanning function required a significant amount of power, so Zhang Xiaoman had not tried it yet and didn’t know the specific effects.

Of course, as a military model, the anti-gravity car was equipped with a weapons system, but Zhang Xiaoman dared not use it even more.

Not to mention the drawback of becoming visible once used, just firing randomly within the country could lead to severe consequences if it hit the wrong target.

After closing the energy interface, Zhang Xiaoman lowered the flying altitude and began to appreciate the mountain range.

Through the unparalleled experience of the holographic mode, he felt the beauty of the motherland’s mountains and rivers up close for the first time.

Time unknowingly passed, and just as Zhang Xiaoman was unsatisfied with merely observing the wonderful natural scenery and wanted to lower the car to make personal contact, the smart assistant in the car suddenly emitted a notification.

"A mobile phone signal has been detected, would you like to connect now?"

"Hold on a moment!" Zhang Xiaoman quickly responded.

Answering the phone required disabling the invisibility status, so he immediately parked the car in a dense forest and opened the communication panel.

The car’s communication interface was highly techno-savvy, and as soon as Zhang Xiaoman activated it, a familiar voice came through, sounding as if it was speaking right into his ear.

"Master Liu? What brings you to call me? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Xiaoman greeted the person on the other line.

Pei Laoliu’s displeased voice came through immediately, "You rascal, can’t I call you if I have no reason? Can’t I check on my grandchild?"

Zhang Xiaoman immediately admitted his mistake, "Yes, yes, my mistake. You’re not calling about Da Hei, are you? Da Hei’s at my house, and just yesterday, I took him and Jin Bao out for some fun; they were thrilled, so don’t worry."

After he spoke, he checked the incoming call’s location on the device and asked, "By the way, why are you still in Binglong Province? It’s been more than half a month now, hasn’t that Cultivation Exchange Conference ended yet? Did you receive your six-figure travel expenses?"

Who knew that upon hearing this, Pei Laoliu immediately grew irate, lamenting, "Ah, don’t mention it! Six figures? Getting a tenth of it would be good now! I was swindled by a bunch of cunning evil men!"

"Oh? What happened? Someone managed to outsmart you, Master Liu?" Zhang Xiaoman expressed strong curiosity.

Immediately, Master Liu recounted his recent experiences, not only vividly but also with a tone full of grievance and anger, truly a tale of silent suffering.

"Those sneaky villains, I, Master Liu, will definitely not let them succeed! The main event is about to start soon, and I must confront them in front of the hosts! Especially that Master Liao, who actually tried to have someone falsely claim my travel expenses, I must expose his scheme!" Master Liu said angrily.

After hearing his story, Zhang Xiaoman was somewhat taken aback, as it seemed that the "Master Pei" mentioned by those people might actually be referring to himself.

He couldn’t help but recall the time he had shown off at Su Fu’s house and had guessed the general sequence of the entire event.

"It seems I’ve inadvertently set Master Liu up... but then again, without me, Master Liu wouldn’t have been able to claim that much in travel expenses, right?"

Zhang Xiaoman contemplated internally.

"Anyway, Dingxianghua City is not far from here, so I might just go over and take a look, it’s quite a large sum after all. If I just show my face, maybe I can easily claim it? Then I could give a portion to Master Liu to calm his nerves, and the rest would be pure profit for me..."

The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes shone, and by the end, his face was already full of smiles.

On the other end of the phone, Pei Laoliu finally spoke, his tone a bit sheepish:

"Well, Xiao Man, you know I’ve always been generous with you, and now I’m in a bit of trouble. Could you help me out in this time of need?"

Zhang Xiaoman slapped his forehead, ah, so Master Liu was out of money and looking for his sponsorship.

After transferring a few thousand yuan to Master Liu, they chatted casually for a bit and then hung up. From Pei Laoliu’s words, Zhang Xiaoman learned the specific time and location of the event, and he planned to definitely make an appearance there today.

Glancing at the display, there was still some time before the event began. Zhang Xiaoman decided to hastily try to make use of the "Spirit Detection Technique" he had won in a previous raffle.

He hadn’t had much time to practice recently, only trying it out whenever he found a spare moment.

However, by yesterday afternoon, he felt he was about to succeed; he just needed a little more time.

Now, with the circumstances changed, Zhang Xiaoman was no longer so short on energy. As Dark Energy was ubiquitous in the universe, he could absorb it at any time he wished.

Even without the "Soul Absorption" Skill, his Dark Energy would automatically restore itself, at a rate of about ten percent per hour, much more convenient than before.

However, one thing he regretted was that since the energy had turned into Dark Energy, he seemed no longer able to overload.

In the past, when his energy values exceeded the limit, he could remain energetic and not need sleep.

But now, any Dark Energy in excess of the limit would instantly disperse.

"Well, that’s also good, at least I won’t accidentally over-absorb energy and explode my mind; it’s somewhat safer this way..." Zhang Xiaoman muttered to himself while his hands didn’t stop trying to construct the Magic model of the "Spirit Detection Technique."

"Insert sequence 206... then activate 206 first, then 213, and finally 216... Hmm... does this mean..."

Just as he was speaking, something unexpected occurred; a burst of light suddenly flared from his fingertips, filling the car with a mysterious and elegant purple hue.
