Chapter 960 493: Weeping Wind

"Respect to the recipient of the Highest National Hero Medal! Your visit is an honor to the entire Kunlun Yaochi Base!"

When Yang Fan appeared at the entrance of the high-speed elevator shaft inside Yaochi Peak, the intelligent AI recognition system issued the above greeting.

There were originally dozens of soldiers waiting for the elevator, their gazes suddenly converged.

A colonel officer was stunned for a moment, then immediately barked, "Salute!"

All soldiers instantly raised their hands in a uniform salute.

Yang Fan nodded in acknowledgment as a return salute.

Director Chang's gaze, filled with envy, was directed over.

This director witnessed this scene with only one thought in mind: "If one day I could experience this kind of honor, this life would be truly worth it."

The electronic female voice of the intelligent AI sounded again: "Mr. Yang, the special VIP elevator numbered 2001 has been arranged for you. You and your companions can take this elevator. We wish you a pleasant journey at the Yaochi Base."

The "2" in "2001" represents shaft number 2, and "001" is the number among the 16 high-speed elevators within shaft number 2.

Yang Fan responded, "Thank you!"

The holographic device above the elevator hall immediately cast a beam of light, forming a conspicuous red arrow, guiding Yang Fan to the position of elevator 2001.

The soldiers saluted once again, seeing Yang Fan off.

Very soon.

The group entered the high-speed elevator.

This elevator was entirely different from those seen by ordinary people in communities or malls.

The interior area of the elevator was surprisingly as large as fifteen square meters, about the size of a room.

There were also two rows of luxury sofas inside, with each row having three special seats, accommodating a total of six people.

Director Chang couldn't help but click his tongue, "I've been at the Yaochi Base for more than half a month, yet it's the first time I know there's an elevator with sofas here."

Ling Shuiling laughed, "That's why it's better to have a higher level; the higher the level, the better the treatment. While others stand in the elevator from the foot to the summit, you can comfortably sit and go up."

Director Chang sighed, "Miss Ling, you make it sound simple, but you don't know how hard it is to increase one level, let alone a level like Dean Yang's."

The female secretary gave a graceful smile, "Whether it's hard or not doesn't really matter to me, as long as I can choose the right man."

She wasn't intentionally seductive, yet an enchanting aura still unconsciously emanated.

Director Chang instinctively glanced over, his old face blushing immediately, hurriedly shifting his gaze away, not daring to look further.

Zhao Xiaoying noticed the scene, secretly muttering, "Truly a seductive woman."

Yang Fan glared at his girlfriend, suggesting she pay more attention.

But he understood in his heart, it wasn't really his girlfriend's fault.

The female secretary's state was closely related to the enchantment superpower.

This kind of superpower naturally had a peculiar tendency—to transform feminine charm into a halo-like power.

The electronic voice timely sounded: "The elevator is about to start!"

Two seconds later.

The elevator started, accelerating from slow to fast, reaching fifty meters per second in fifteen seconds, equivalent to nearly two hundred kilometers per hour.

While the fastest speed for a super high-rise residential building elevator is only three meters per second, this is a difference of more than ten times.

Director Chang sighed again, "The speed of ordinary elevators is only twenty-five meters per second, and there's a buzzing sound inside. The VIP elevator is twice as fast, yet completely silent inside."

Yang Fan smiled, "Old Chang, once the Blue Heaven Vine Tree is cultivated into the green sky vine of Canglan Star, taking the VIP elevator should not be a problem for you."

Director Chang was both amused and exasperated, "Then I have to wait a hundred years?"

In his heart, the importance of the Blue Heaven Vine Tree rose again.

Although the shaft was over three kilometers high, the high-speed elevator took just over a minute to reach the top floor.

Upon exiting the elevator, the group went directly into the equipment room.

For safety considerations, personnel entering the Sobbing Green Sea must wear exoskeletons, it was a mandatory regulation.

Director Chang reminded, "Dean Yang, you must get familiar with the exoskeleton. Just in case of any unexpected situation in the Green Sea, maybe..."

Before he finished speaking.

He suddenly got stuck.

Because Director Chang saw, the mechanical hand of the exoskeleton driven by Yang Fan waved towards Ling Shuiling, creating a gentle breeze and lifting her hair.

The mechanical arm moved rapidly, with two mechanical fingers actually pinching a strand of hair.

Director Chang's eyes were fixated, and he blurted out a curse, "Damn!"

The speed was so fast, the precision so high, that this director hadn't even seen, let alone heard of such an event before.

Ling Shuiling laughed and helped explain, "Yang Fan holds stocks of Xingtian Industrial Group worth trillions, making him one of the major shareholders. So, he fiddles with a few exoskeletons under the guise of research and often plays with them."

Director Chang moved his lips, ultimately just nodding.

Actually, he wanted to say, "I've seen several warriors from the Jiuzhou Legion and Blood Banner Legion, never have I seen any warrior manipulate an exoskeleton to such a level."

But he remembered the other party was a Highest National Hero Medal recipient, a rare genius in the world anyway.

Very soon.

The group, driving their exoskeletons, took the lift to reach the World Gate of the Green Sea.

A pool of emerald green, jade-clear water, with its surface undisturbed by wind, occasionally rippling with green waves, immediately captured everyone's sight.

Director Chang introduced, "This pool is called Yaochi."

Ling Shuiling was a bit surprised, "Could it be that the official specifically built a pool at the World Gate because of the name Yaochi Peak?"
