Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 774: Section 769 - Holiday

Those who play tricks are filthy indeed, and Chen Fei had witnessed enough of people and society by now. With occasional tips from Boss Hana, he was no longer the rookie fresh out of the Ivory Tower. Even if he didn't play tricks himself, he could sometimes see through them.

If life was just like the first encounter... better not to meet at all!

If possible, Chen Fei did not want to see these troublemakers who were overabundant in martial virtue but deficient in moral virtue, inadequate in achievement but excessive in failure, right from the start.

With a series of aggressive maneuvers like a tiger, they managed to turn a perfectly good situation into a complete mess. The people of Nandu City felt both heaven's wrath and human resentment, and yet, their achievements were meager. The results were no better than doing nothing at all.

Chen Fei's watertight response caused Captain Meng Hai of Squad 47 to frown slightly, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and said, "We need your help!"

It takes the bell ringer to untie the bell; no help for it, he really needed the other party.

"This can be easily solved!"

Chen Fei smiled calmly and produced a stack of A4 paper, gently placing it on the table between them.

If only his emotional intelligence was always at this level, how could he possibly mess things up!

"This is..."

The documents were a bit different from what Meng Hai had imagined before knocking on the car door.

He had thought that the other party would personally take action to assist Squad 47 in their mission.

Chen Fei stated bluntly, "Information on some parasitic species hidden in the Zilu Continent."

He pointed to two pieces of intelligence marked with red lines and added, "These two have been taken care of; the rest are up to you."

Strictly speaking, only one had been dealt with by Chen Fei.

The other group of parasitic species had been wiped out by a swarm of Hive Type mutants that had emerged from nowhere.

"Where did you get this?"

Meng Hai quickly grabbed the documents, ensuring their security as his first priority.

"From the parasitic species themselves!"

Chen Fei was not lying at all; it indeed was explosive information from the parasitic species themselves.

Not only he, but even the parasitic species' own kind never expected such an anomaly to exist.

"The parasitic species... gave it to you?"

The captain displayed a sly, are-you-kidding-me expression, staring fixedly at Chen Fei, trying to discern whether he was telling the truth, boasting a lie, or mixing both.

"Every word is true!"

Chen Fei said righteously, without a shred of falsehood.

Little Bird fluttered in through the window, landing in his hand and stretching its neck for a scratch; it had played outside while Chen Fei was showering.

Birds actually need scratching more than cats and dogs, since their claws aren't as dexterous.

"This is unbelievable; how is that possible? Where is that parasitic species? How can we find it?"

Meng Hai couldn't believe it; which parasitic species would be so foolish?

Had they lost their minds?

To dare to give away such deadly secrets!

If anyone within the Human Race were so foolish, they would certainly be utterly obliterated and reduced to ashes, never to be reincarnated.

Unbeknownst to Captain Meng, his bold guess was actually seven or eight parts true; "Taga" was indeed one of the very few aberrant entities among the parasitic species. Eventually, caught in the conflicts between human factions, he failed to escape and died along with his host.

"It's already dead."

Chen Fei scratched Little Bird's neck while shrugging his shoulders, his connections and clout simply undeniable.

What he had obtained was not only the hunting list but also a riddle with a painting.

The value of the hunting list was substantial, but it paled in comparison to the hidden location of the "Seed Nest" in the riddle. Chen Fei did not want to cheaply hand over something so crucial to the likes of Squad 47; they were better off sticking to the list.

Though it was cherry-picking, cherry-picking was still a form of labor, a physical one at that.

"I understand now!"

Meng Hai inexplicably sighed in relief, imagining countless scenarios, probably catching some well-informed parasitic species by accident, followed by a brutal interrogation, ultimately obtaining this vital information.

Such a damn lucky guy, filled with all sorts of envy and jealousy—no wonder Squad 47 hadn't performed up to par since taking over in Nandu City.

"I hope you can cooperate with our actions."

Meng Hai, having gained one advantage, hoped for another, wanting to pull Chen Xiao'er into Squad 47 as grunt labor. Ostensibly for all of humanity, but without offering a position or compensation, essentially planning a strong-arm freeloading.

After all, isn't it only right to sacrifice and contribute a little for the greater good?

"I've handed everything to you; I'm not concerned with the rest!"

Chen Fei bluntly waved his hand, clearly refusing to be drawn into the setup.

He was thinking about the cherries!

Picking peaches just keeps going on and on!

"We can initiate a draft for you!"

Since the negotiation was at a deadlock, Meng Hai prepared to exercise his power.

"I am going to take a holiday for myself, I've been outside for too long. You guys play here by yourselves!"

Chen Fei refused boldly.

In terms of visa time on Cangqiong Star, it was up when it was up; if the Silan Dynasty would cooperate and issue a denial of visa, even if Meng Hai exerted his sovereign power to forcibly draft him, there was no way to keep Chen Fei on this planet—no hanging around, playing whack-a-mole on Blue Star, right?

Freeloading on labor? Don't even think about it.

"This is to combat the invasion of an alien race. It's everyone's responsibility..."

Meng Hai tried to continue but was interrupted by Chen Fei, who motioned towards himself and said, "Look at me, expecting a B-grade supernatural power user to save the world? Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this?"

Captain Meng was blocked so directly that he fell flat, having no shame, and the other guy had even less. How much could a face be worth anyway? This tricky fox just couldn't be swayed by a few words.

"Heh, truly sorry about that!"

With a face of grim pleasure and a discordant tone, Meng Hai immediately stood up to bid farewell.

He could tell; if he continued, the other guy would start mocking him. Why seek out unpleasantness voluntarily!

With no official responsibilities weighing down on him and as an ordinary citizen loudly mouthing off, what can you do, hang him from a streetlight?

"Take care! Let's chat another time!"

Chen Fei, petting the Little Bird on his hand, appeared all smiles and warmly saw Meng Hai out from his Mobile Base Vehicle and even waved to the members of Squad 47 in the neighboring car, after all, it never hurts to be polite.

If you're not happy about it, come at me!

-

Just back in his own Mobile Base Vehicle, the members of Squad 47 immediately gathered around Captain Meng.

"What did that guy say, will he help or not?"

"If he won't help, I'll go and give him a good thrashing. He has to help, unwillingly or not."

Hey, look at that temper, must be that Boerzhake guy. The words of others were not much different; nobody saw Chen Fei next door as human.

In their view, being able to roll with Squad 47 was seen as the pinnacle of life, the utmost honor.

"Honor my ass!"

Chen Fei, overhearing the conversation next door, muttered irritably to himself.

The modules' driving programs of the mass-produced Mobile Base Vehicles were all compiled by the AI "Adam" so, to save trouble, vehicle manufacturers directly adopted these, leading to infiltrations as easy as entering one's own courtyard—the paper window was easily broken, no real effort needed.

"Everyone, keep your shirts on, I've got intelligence on the Parasitic Species, and there's quite a number."

Meng Hai shook the paper documents in his hand. Although he didn't pull Chen Fei down into the water to work with the team, he hadn't returned empty-handed, this catch was enough to resolve the current dilemma facing Squad 47.

"Got intel on those damn parasites? That guy has some sense after all!"

"Now we finally have something to do, I don't want another pointless run."

"As expected of our captain, always brings back major gains."

"I've had enough these past few days. Screw all those damn gangs; none of them are of any use anymore."

...

The morale among the squad members lifted, enlivening the atmosphere inside the vehicle.

Everyone deliberately ignored the connection between the hunting list in Captain Meng's hand and Chen Fei, all intent on snagging the proverbial peaches, thinking about peaches (farts)!

When Squad 47 later wanted to contact Chen Fei for more intelligence about the Parasitic Species, they found he had already passed through the Dimensional Gate and returned to Blue Star.

Chen Fei had not deceived the captain of Squad 47; he truly went to enjoy his vacation.

Passed the buck successfully, delightfully so!

Before passing through the Dimensional Gate, Chen Fei made a call to Boss Hana and also terminated his guard contract with the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation on the outskirts of Nandu City. After reporting the situation, he carried a lot of Earth specialties and stepped out from the Cangqiong Star side of the gate. When he landed, he was already stepping on the soil of Blue Star.

The Dimensional Gate connected the two civilized planets, completely overturning the common perceptions and understandings of interstellar travel. Spread out, the cost from Cangqiong Star to Blue Star was frighteningly low.

The profits generated from this trade were even fiercer than running a mint.

Boss Hana instructed him to first report back to the 911 Aircrew Base, after which he would get 20 days of leave.

After three days of catching connecting flights and airships, and then hopping onto a small transport from the 911 Aircrew Base, Chen Fei finally returned to the desolate yet familiar Xingdu Kush Mountain Area.

When Squad 47 and their patron sovereignties thought of Chen Fei, he was already beyond their reach.

Though he didn't understand why he needed to report back at the 911 Aircrew Base, even online reporting or heading to the Jiu Defense Company headquarters in Chapala City, located on the South Continent of America, would have been more convenient than a remote mountain area station.

The small transport finally settled steadily on the parking apron, the cabin door slid open, and a folding stair was lowered.

The clusters of buildings that came into view, the long main runway, and colleagues who greeted him as he passed made Chen Fei involuntarily feel as if time had stayed at the moment he left.

Perhaps in the minds of his colleagues at the Aircrew Base, Chen Fei had never really left.
