A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 937 - 923: Fearless General Mechanical Airship
Soon.
Tie Hao introduced Baiyu to the team's composition.
This is a prison break team with roughly seven or eight members. Why roughly? Because even they don't know how many people are threatened to come rescue Machima.
If another Baiyu suddenly appears, they wouldn't be surprised at all.
The total number of seven or eight members is what the Divination Master predicted, only able to give an estimate.
Storm City is a gathering point for this small team, where four like-minded individuals have congregated, planning to head to the center of the Free Federation, Nocturnal City, together.
However, on the way, they encountered Baiyu.
According to the Divination Master, this is fate.
Everything is predestined.
...
Baiyu quickly arrived at a seemingly inconspicuous room and pushed open the door. Inside was a white rectangular table.
Two people sat on opposite sides of the table.
"I've found the people, Hacker. Let's start discussing how to reach Machima's holding place. Taking an ordinary train is definitely out of the question, too many accidents, not safe enough."
Tie Hao said.
The Divination Master didn't speak. From the moment he entered the room, he found a chair to sit on and quietly played with his cards.
And the person Tie Hao called Hacker is a strange young girl with a clown mask, ponytail, and a hairpin on her head that generates electricity. She was typing something on the keyboard rapidly and didn't respond to Tie Hao immediately.
"You must be the new addition? I'm Chasing Wind."
At this moment.
The young man sitting idly opposite the Hacker walked to Baiyu, extended his hand, and smiled kindly.
Based on the ability allocation within this small team, everyone is identified by titles. This man called Chasing Wind is likely to be an Extraordinary in terms of speed.
Tie Hao.
Blood Qi is abundant, already in the Grandmaster Realm.
He is clearly the main combat force within the team.
Both the Divination Master and Hacker serve more auxiliary roles.
"Hello, I'm Idle Fisher."
Baiyu said calmly, revealing the title he just thought of.
However.
Chasing Wind and Tie Hao found the nickname inexplicable, even feeling somewhat absurd.
Idle Fisher?
Is this referring to being skillful at idling?
Of course, besides being curious, they didn't dwell on it. After all, it's everyone's freedom to choose their name. The team was originally loose, with the sole objective of rescuing Machima.
"Alright, done."
Soon after, Hacker clapped shut the computer that seemed to have hundreds of keys and said to everyone, "I've secured a mechanical airship belonging to a prominent figure of the Federation. Tonight, we can take that airship to the center of the Free Federation."
After some discussion, everyone found Hacker's plan viable and didn't object.
Mechanical airships are among the few remaining people-carrying vessels that can still fly in the sky. Most mechanical airships are made by the Mechanical Church, and the East Prosperity Imperial possesses the most airships on the Northern Continent.
A few others.
Are produced by specialized mechanical companies, but they don't match the quality of those made by the Mechanical Church.
Being able to board a mechanical airship within the Free Federation certainly means one is either rich or powerful.
This time, Hacker directly hacked into the identities of several passengers, discreetly replacing them, allowing access to the airship.
However.
Besides dignitaries, the mechanical airship also hosts some special talents.
Hacker found out that this airship belongs to Changzhi Shuyuan, son of Changzhi Longgang, one of the top ten senators of the Free Federation.
Changzhi Shuyuan.
Is known throughout the Federation as a playboy.
However, he isn't lecherous; his greatest passion is gambling.
This time, on the mechanical airship, he's hosting a grand banquet, inviting children of various dignitaries within his circle for a gambling event that would last several days and nights.
In simple terms.
He's turned the airship into a floating casino.
So, besides those heirs, many invited gamblers and numerous industry professionals received invitations.
Hacker hacked into their identities and swapped them with members of the team.
...
Everything is ready.
A few hours later, Baiyu, along with Tie Hao, the Divination Master, Hacker, and Chasing Wind, arrived at the Storm City airport. A gigantic mechanical airship was parked on the tarmac, continuously emitting white steam. Occasionally, a whale-like sound echoed from the airship.
On both sides of the airship.
Are countless mechanical wings.
Those wings were gently flapping, emitting waves of heat.
The members of the team had already spread out. Baiyu, carrying the identity disguise crafted by Hacker, walked to the inspection gate guarded by two soldiers and showed his identification.
"No weapons are allowed on board, please understand."
A soldier holding a metal detector gestured to check Baiyu for any weapons.
Baiyu let him check without concern.
Everything was fine. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
After the two soldiers completed their inspection, Baiyu passed through the gate and boarded the mechanical airship.
"It's actually the Fearless General Mechanical Airship, which is the best airship available on the market. Not only does it cost a fortune, but it also requires connections. Seems like Changzhi Shuyuan is quite wealthy."
Baiyu thought to himself.
Such an airship is enough to deplete most of Qiong Ning's business funds, and it was clearly modified by mechanics. Such complex and precise machinery could only be entrusted to a Bishop-level figure of the Mechanical Church for modification.
"Hello sir, do you need to exchange chips?"
In the entrance room of the mechanical airship, two scantily clad Rabbit-human race ladies stood behind a table, smilingly looking at Baiyu.
"Chips?"
Baiyu said impassively, "How many chips do I have now?"
"Please wait, we need to check for you." The two rabbit ladies said in unison, then took Baiyu's previously presented identification, and continued, "You have a hundred thousand chips, which isn't a small amount. If you want more, you can exchange your lifespan, health, or anything else of value for chips."
"Really? What can I win, though?"
Baiyu smiled.
The two rabbit ladies replied, "You can win anything."
Naturally, Baiyu didn't believe this answer, he put away his identification and formally entered the giant mechanical airship.
And the rest of the team.
Also boarded the airship one after another, before and after Baiyu.
