Chapter 225: Chapter 1 It’s called Shura Chapter 225: Chapter 1 It’s called Shura The interstellar cruise had silently set sail.
Sitting in a comfortable chair, Mu Fan this time received the top-tier treatment from Loki Heavy Industry.
At Wang Nuonuo’s insistence, he was given perks usually reserved for the core members of the Wang Family.
Thinking of this, he put down the magazine in his hand and an inexplicable smile appeared in his eyes.
That elf-like girl also possessed a crystal-clear heart.
Having witnessed that incident, Mu Fan saw the young girl transform from naive to mature overnight within the Battle Net.
The smile in his eyes deepened as he put down the magazine and prepared to leave the luxurious suite.
This was a top-tier interstellar cruise, equipped with up to five layers of isolation devices, and its passengers were certainly those with some economic strength.
And Mu Fan, who had one of the ten luxury suites, was a VIP among VIPs.
The interstellar cruise emphasized the concept of leisure.
Thus, this cruise ship, built at great cost by the Federation Ship Group, enabled passengers to avoid the boredom of the low-temperature cabins.
Outside the low-temperature cabin area, there was a much larger seating and rest area, as well as a sightseeing area with an excellent view; passengers could freely choose their activities for the next few days.
To have a rest set by the low-temperature cabins, then coming out to dine, taste tea, and enjoy the scenery—this was the life the wealthy should indulge in.
Of course, the price was more than five times that of a regular cruise.
Yet the tickets were still sold out; seven Federation days were not so easy to endure.
In the upper space, where the luxury suites were located, there were also places for first-class and special-class cabins.
A large viewing platform was also on one side of these two types of cabins.
At the moment, many people were already sitting down, chatting or resting.
Dressed in high-end tailor-made suits, Mu Fan had a striking and extraordinary bearing.
The second and third-class cabins were on a lower level, so those here were unquestionably from wealthy backgrounds.
Their penetrating eyes quickly saw through the young man’s clothes, which likely cost over 100,000 Star Coins each.
Mu Fan glanced indifferently at the veiled glances from all around, since he had no idea that these people first looked at his attire before looking at him…
The clothes were really comfortable, much more so than the set given by the heavyset friend before.
With every extension of his arms, the fabric always managed to drape over the most comfortable position with the perfect tailoring.
Moreover, this fabric even had a subtle temperature control feature.
All in all, Mu Fan was extremely satisfied.
How could he possibly know that this was a dress Wang Nuonuo spent five hundred thousand Star Coins for, asking ten of the most famous tailors on Purple Jade Star for a custom fit?
At a seat near the panoramic view glass, someone suddenly stood up, looking ready to leave and rest.
The bored Mu Fan just happened to walk down the aisle and see this, so he decided to go over and sit down.
He noticed that there were two girls talking next to the vacant seat, but didn’t pay much attention.
However, while he wasn’t concerned, someone else was.
It could be said that in the upper area, any woman under thirty would not be unattractive.
Further decorated with elegant clothing and jewelry, the natural aristocratic air added an extra touch of beauty.
Moreover, these two girls were precisely at the sprightly age of youth, and their delicate necks had already attracted the attention of many young men.
To have a romantic encounter on the cruise was indeed a delightful prospect.
So as Mu Fan was about to sit down, a well-dressed young man stepped over first and quickly sat down, not forgetting to give Mu Fan an apologetic glance.
But that apologetic glance somehow seemed intentional no matter how he looked at it.
Mu Fan raised an eyebrow but ignored it, instead turning to grasp the handrail of the viewing platform, leaning forward quietly to gaze at the starry universe outside the window.
“Tsks, Mu Fan, you’ve changed a lot, haven’t you?
You can endure this?” Black’s tempting voice said in his ear, eager to see Mu Fan go up and give the kid a beating against the wall.
For intelligent life, encountering a bug in the logic program meant either it dies or I die.
There was no talk of mercy.
Mu Fan gently tapped his wristwatch to remind Black not to speak recklessly; he didn’t want to cause any unpleasantness over such trivial matters during the trip.
A proper space trip was rare and ought to be thoroughly enjoyed, wasn’t it?
“Hey, why do you think the military didn’t release the information about those two mechas this time?
And it seems like the videos that appeared online have been erased.”
“Yeah, it’s like they’re trying to hide something obvious, but anyway, I saved it during the live broadcast.”
“Hehe, so did I.
When I go to Blue Capital Star this time, I’m definitely going to show my classmates.
Let those who consider themselves geniuses of the Mecha Department shut up for once after seeing this mecha.”
“You’re so bad!”
“You’re not bad, so annoying!”
The two girls had already started giggling and frolicking with each other.
At this moment, the man who had taken Mu Fan’s seat finally found an opportunity to join the conversation.
These two girls, brimming with youthful energy, were indeed a pleasant sight, and having a chat with them would make this long journey much more enjoyable.
“Are you talking about the Mecha from the incident a month ago?”
“Um?” The two girls stopped teasing each other and turned their heads in unison to see a rather handsome young man, which made them take a liking to him immediately.
“Yeah.
You’re familiar with it too?
Those two Mecha were so cool.
But we only know that the giant, gorgeous one is called Thunderhawk, we still haven’t figured out the name of the other awesome one.”
Seeing that he had managed to strike up a conversation, the man wore a confident smile and replied, “You’re not from No.1 City Zone, are you?”
The two girls nodded together: “No, we’re from City 13.”
It had been so easy to get them talking, and he had taken the successful first step; City 13 was home to quite a few young nobles, so he could pretty much guess the girls’ backgrounds.
“I’m from No.1 City Zone.
I was actually there when it happened, that Mecha is called…”
Both girls pricked up their ears, their eyes showing great interest.
Even Mu Fan found this amusing now, although he was sitting with his back to these three, their every word reached his ears without missing a beat.
“Black Warrior!”
“It’s said to be the military’s newest model in the Super Series of Mecha, a secret weapon.
My uncle just happens to be in the Purple Jade Star’s Third Division mobile force!” The young man said and confidently met the admiring gazes of the two girls across from him.
To know even such insider information.
The two girls’ eyes lit up with interest, and the young man across from them was feeling elated, step two, success!
But then…
There was a sudden and ill-timed chuckle coming from behind them.
Though the laugh was soft, it landed precisely at the crucial moment.
The young man turned his head with displeasure.
Mu Fan could no longer hold back.
It was one thing to overhear others praising him, but to hear such sworn testimony about Shura, he almost believed it himself.
He couldn’t keep his laughter in, drawing the attention of the three.
Feeling their gazes on his back, Mu Fan turned around, touched his nose sheepishly, and chuckled, “Carry on, I wasn’t laughing at what you said.”
The young man’s face darkened even more…
Well, okay then.
Mu Fan gave another awkward chuckle: “I didn’t hear what you were talking about.”
The two girls looked somewhat embarrassedly at the young man sitting next to them.
This explanation was just asking for a beating.
But the clothing on the good-looking young man was understated luxury at a glance.
The young man persisted, “What do you mean?
We’re discussing the hero of Purple Jade Star, and you dare to laugh?!”
His words successfully shifted the tides of animosity.
To have oneself praised to one’s face was really something, and Mu Fan, feeling somewhat embarrassed, could only offer a shy nod and said, “I didn’t laugh at the hero of Purple Jade Star, he’s magnificent.”
Yes, magnificent!
Both girls with the beautiful oval faces nodded in agreement.
“But…”
Mu Fan walked over and lightly placed his hand with an irresistible force on the young man who was trying to stand.
His face wore a faint smile; his eyes held a look of reminiscence, contemplation.
“It’s called Shura…”
The light tone carried a conviction that left no room for doubt.
“It’s not called Black Warrior, and it certainly doesn’t belong to the military.”
He paid no mind to the surprise and curiosity that appeared on the two pretty girls’ faces.
Lightly patting the young man’s shoulder, Mu Fan turned and walked away.
As Mu Fan stepped into the corridor exclusive to the top-tier suites, leaving the three behind with their shocked expressions, his gentle words echoed once more, filled with endless yearning, “It’s called Shura.”
As the room sealed shut, Mu Fan entered the cryo-pod, with Blue Capital Star awaiting his next awakening.
