Chapter 284 – Communications Magic Energy Equipment
Jiang Lie was willing to work for C City because he was fond of Ji Tian Luo, if Yang Tian was the same, then…
Ji Hou Tao’s face instantly looked better. However, what Ji Hou Tao failed to understand was that Yang Tian was only playing a prank on Ji Tian Luo and had no other thoughts about her.
“I look at what I want, what has that got to do with you?”
“Is Miss Ji someone you can see as you please?”
Jiang Lie’s confidence was greatly boosted now that he has Blazing Ancient Sword back in his hands. Moreover, Ji Tian Luo was someone he has always liked, Jiang Lie was only a jobless youth in the Civilized Age and was never able to interact with Ji Tian Luo. Until one time, he met Ji Tian Luo in a chanced encounter and was charmed by her, falling hopelessly in love with Ji Tian Luo since then. However, Jiang Lie knew very well how much he was worth, so he could only keep his adoration deep within his heart.
The arrival of the Post-Apocalyptic Era gave him an opportunity. He was able to quickly improve his strength, reaching Early Rank 4 while possessing a powerful Cultivation Technique, an Epic Rank Weapon, and Blazing Lava City… all these had undoubtedly increased Jiang Lie’s value. As for Ji Tian Luo, the was also heaven blessed individual, allowing her to reach heights comparable to Jiang Lie. In fact, Jiang Lie sometimes hoped that Ji Tian Luo was just an ordinary girl.
The fortunate thing was, Jiang Lie obtained the qualifications to woo Ji Tian Luo within the Post-Apocalyptic Era.
When Jiang Lie saw Yang Tian defiling his goddess with his eyes, he undoubtedly was unable to endure it.
“What? You did not dare to look, so you want to stop others from looking?”
Yang Tian deliberately used a provoking tone, causing Jiang Lie to be even more restless. Ji Hou Tao had immediately spoken against it when he saw that.
“Enough!”
Ji Tian Luo looked at the other organizations gathered; Jiang Lie had injured many of the metahumans gathered in the earlier battle, as the host of this gathering, Ji Hou Tao needs to shoulder some responsibility as well.
“Everyone came to visit our C City only to have many of your subordinates injured, it was my responsibility for the oversight. Let us go and have a meal, I will discuss the compensation for each one of you on the dining table.”
Jiang Lie displayed a slightly embarrassed looked when he heard Ji Hou Tao’s words and turned to look at Yang Tian. During the fight, Jiang Lie was sure that his error in judgment was definitely due to Yang Tian.
The various organizations were slightly appeased when they obtained Ji Hou Tao’s reply.
Ji Hou Tao got his subordinates to guide everyone to the dining area.
The dining area was not a luxurious place, it was basically a canteen from the Civilized Age. However, no one would be bothered about such details in the Post-Apocalyptic Era, plus the food Ji Hou Tao prepared for them was also not bad.
A plate of chicken meat and duck meat were placed on each table. Five plates of vegetables, several dozen plain buns, and two apples per person. This dinner was much better than many others when they were in their own territory, while a small proportion did not look surprised at the food provided.
During the meal, fifteen soldiers entered the canteen and stood in a neat row in front of the dining tables. These soldiers each held three or more Magic Energy Equipment. One was a Rank 3 Gun-Type, two Support-Types. The Support-Types were mostly communication devices. Each organization that suffered losses were allowed to take a set of equipment from a soldier.
There were a total of eight organizations that have suffered losses, no one dares to give a false claim with Ji Hou Tao overseeing the matter. The eight organizations each took their choices of three, leaving only seven soldiers still holding on to equipment.
“Is everyone satisfied with this old man’s compensation?”
This was their first time seeing Magic Energy Equipment, so they were unable to determine their real value. However, they were willing to let this matter go for the sake of giving Ji Hou Tao some face.
Especially the Communication Magic Energy Equipment, it functions as a phone in the Civilized Age. Even with a limit to its reception range, it did not prevent the eight organizations that got it to love it more than the other equipment.
After dinner, the sky turned dark. The dangers during the night were much greater than the day, this was something all organizations had experienced, that was why Ji Hou Tao had arranged for accommodations for the organizations.
C City’s only intact Five Star Hotel. During this period, Ji Hou Tao had wanted to speak with Yang Tian, but Yang Tian used his injury in the previous battle as an excuse to reject meeting Ji Hou Tao.
Yang Tian and Lei Xing stayed in a double-bed room, the injuries Lei Xing received earlier during the day might not be lethal, but they were still many and he does require several days for a full recovery.
During the night, Ji Tian Luo came to look for Yang Tian.
“Say, why are you always coming to my place?”
Yang Tian said impatiently, every time he sees Ji Tian Luo, Yang Tian would feel a phantom pain coming from his groin.
“Why are you always treating me with such impatience?”
Ji Tian Luo’s tone was slightly angry, this was the first time since she was born that a male would display such an attitude towards her.
“Maybe it is because you are too ugly!”
“You…”
Ji Tian Luo’s looks could be said to be equivalent to a celestial fairy, combined with her succubus-like body, it would only make people want to commit a crime. Being able to cause Jiang Lie and Luo Zhan to engage in a death match for her was enough to explain her beauty.
Yang Tian’s reply was undoubtedly just to ridicule Ji Tian Luo.
“I do not want to continue wasting my breath with you. Grandfather wants me to exchange for the blueprint of the Magic Energy Equipment that Lei Xing used today.” Ji Tian Luo shifted the conversation and went straight to the topic.
“What are you willing to exchange it for?”
When Yang Tian heard Ji Tian Luo’s motive, he blatantly swept his gaze through her entire body, causing her entire body to feel discomfort.
“Three Rank 3 Blueprints.”
“No.”
“What do you want?”
“I want you.”
“Douchebag!”
Ji Tian Luo scolded in reply before she angrily left. After leaving for a moment, Ji Tian Luo discovered something was not right. Yang Tian has undoubtedly said those words to make her angry so that she was unable to continue the negotiations.
Unfortunately, Ji Tian Luo was unable to catch his motive earlier and started to regret it now. However, she cannot go back to Yang Tian again and could only report what happened to her Grandfather.
Yang Tian smirked as he watched Ji Tian Luo left.
“Three Rank 3 Blueprints to exchange for the Twenty-Four Star Bombs? Dream on!”
Yang Tian returned to his room and started practicing Vajra Divine Art to recover from the injuries he received. Vajra Divine Art did not only boost a powerful defense, but it also provides its users with astonishing recovery speeds. However, Yang Tian was only at Rank 4 and was unable to bring out the maximum recovery capabilities of Vajra Divine Art.
Moreover, Yang Tian’s Golden Silkworm Gloves have clashed with the Blazing Ancient Sword several times in the earlier battle, damaging it. It would not be long before the gloves would be completely losing its durability.
