Xue Jing left the house and sped towards White Crow Base.

The airplane sent by Cease-Blade to pick him up had landed there.

Arriving at White Crow Base, from a distance, Xue Jing saw a technologically advanced silver-gray airplane parked on the ground.

Different from the White Crow airplane that had carried him before, this airplane from Cease-Blade was overall a size larger and had more dangerous-looking weapons mounted on its surface, resembling a dangerous beast lying in wait.

It was said that these Dragon Core Airplanes must be strictly designed according to the level of the Dragon Breed core organs they carried. Judging by this, the plane sent by Cease-Blade seemed to be of a higher grade than White Crow’s.

Ning Yuantai was talking with the Xuren Squad next to the airplane’s cabin door. Seeing Xue Jing approach, Ning’s eyes lit up, and he waved and called out,

“Xue!”

Xue Jing nodded at him, then looked towards Captain Void Blade and asked,

“Captain Void Blade, what’s the current situation in the unfinished building area?”

Void Blade replied, “Don’t worry, it’s been checked many times over, the pollution rate has always been 0%. It should be completely resolved… quite incredible.”

“This has never happened before; an area that underwent mutation and pollution, even if suppressed, should maintain at least a 1% pollution rate. There has never been a complete return to 0%…”

“This situation is very much worth investigating. White Crow Headquarters has already sent experts to study it, and even the ‘Black Nest,’ those who think too highly of themselves and can’t function without money, have said they would send people over.”

Xue Jing nodded and smiled, “Then your mission here in Qingcheng is completely finished, right? Are you planning to leave?”

The Xuren Squad had come to Qingcheng following a smuggling gang from the Intersecting Boundaries carrying the ‘Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother’ and stayed until now because they detected a potential overlap of dimensions in the South City unfinished building area.

Now that the mutation and pollution in the unfinished building area were resolved, it was about time for them to part ways. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

“We haven’t received the orders from above yet,” the Mountain Demon interjected.

“There are countless incidents related to the Intersecting Boundaries happening all the time, and White Crow’s casualty rate is very high. We’re always understaffed. Usually, once a mission is complete, we’re immediately assigned the next one with no time to rest.”

“…But it’s strange, after the captain reported the completion of our mission, we only received instructions to stand by in Qingcheng.”

Mountain Demon stroked his chin, “Maybe the captain is getting a promotion. The newly established base here doesn’t have a base chief yet.”

Void Blade gave Xue Jing an inscrutable glance and said, “Who knows.”

“Alright, alright, almost time to depart,” Ning Yuantai said.

“The Martial Arts Examination is in three days, Xue, Cease-Blade has specially planned a secret and safe flight route for us. If we leave now, it will take us about two days to reach there. Let’s go!”

Xue Jing, curious, asked, “Oh? A secret route?”

Ning Yuantai gave a thumbs up, “Right, absolutely covert and safe, known to no one.”

Traveling far across city regions in this era was not an easy task, affected by ‘Eternal Night’ and various creatures from the Intersecting Boundaries. Beyond the defensive lines of the cities at the edge of the metropolitan areas lay an extremely dangerous ‘Evil Land.’

Not only was the environment extremely harsh and unsuitable for human living, but myriad creatures from the Intersecting Boundaries that had arrived in this world had also established a unique food chain within the Evil Land, with countless powerful species everywhere, quite terrifying.

Ordinary people could go their whole lives without ever leaving their city region, lacking the resources to do so.

Generally speaking, there were a few methods to cross city regions.

One was to be an overwhelmingly powerful individual, crossing the Evil Land on their own.

Another was to travel in groups along well-planned routes that were relatively safe, avoiding the extremely dangerous areas of the Evil Land as much as possible.

The safest, yet most demanding, was to take a Dragon Core Airplane.

Dragon Core Airplanes could avoid the threats posed by most Dragon Breeds in the sky. However, flight routes still needed planning to skirt the territories of top-level dangerous creatures and some unique Intersecting Boundaries.

Those who had Dragon Core Airplanes were basically top-tier powers, each planning their private secret routes that varied from one to another.

Although it was the safest way to move across city regions, Xue Jing still bore a strange expression hearing Ning Yuantai’s assertion that it was “absolutely covert and safe”:

“Are you sure?”

So far, he hadn’t been on a single flight without incident…

Sometimes, he even wondered if his last name was ‘Joe’.

The glaringly obvious 10,000+ “robbery” on the attribute table gave him a bad feeling whenever Ning Yuantai set such a flag.

“Just trust me, nothing will go wrong!”

Ning Yuantai insisted, grinning with a flash of his bright white teeth.

Xue Jing’s mouth twitched slightly and he said, “Alright then.”

“I’ll be going first, see you later.”

He waved to the Xuren Squad.

With that, he stepped toward the cabin door and boarded the airplane.

The massive Dragon Core Airplane slowly took off, hovering upwards, while Void Blade, arms crossed, looked up after it and said softly,

“This is definitely going to be a problem; there’s something off about Xue Jing’s constitution.”

Mountain Demon laughed, “Haha, I think so too.”

…

The ground grew increasingly distant in the line of sight as the Dragon Core Fighter reached high above the ten thousand meters in altitude.

Xue Jing’s gaze moved away from the porthole and walked around the cabin.

This airplane was much larger than the one from White Crow, with a completely different interior layout – more spacious and even luxurious.
