Chapter 49: Trampolines and Invasion
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Soul Guidance flying car soon found a good parking spot. The car stopped and the glass on the windshield showed them the path to get into the shopping center. With the advancement in technology, humans became lazier as life became more convenient.
“World of Trampolines!” Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly when he entered this place.
As far as the eye can see, the place was very spacious; it was at least over a thousand square meters wide and there were all sorts of trampolines inside. They were lined up one after another and he could jump back and forth. There were also huge ones with a lot of elasticity and a large sponge where one could jump from four to five meters high and dive into it. In addition, there was also a sponge pool that was a few meters deep and above it was a tightrope if anyone wanted to practice balancing.
A few staff members from the World of Trampolines were performing fancy tricks on the trampolines and they were leaping very high up to do all sorts of fascinating stunts. Those children that were watching started cheering.
Lan Xuanyu was eager to get in but he was stopped by a staff member. “Little friend, you must change into the trampoline socks before you can enter.”
The trampoline sock had anti-slip rubber dots at the bottom to prevent one from slipping while jumping.
Nan Cheng brought her son and got his socks changed. She paid for the entrance fee and soon, they entered the World of Trampolines.
Lan Xuanyu charged in excitedly and he started jumping on a trampoline.
The trampoline was very bouncy and it immediately threw him up. As this was his first time, Lan Xuanyu lost his balance slightly when he was bouncing.
But he was a Spirit Master after all, and while he was in the air, he had already adjusted his center of gravity and landed on the trampoline again. In the next moment, his body was bounced up high.
“Wah, he jumps really high.” The kid next to him looked in shock at Lan Xuanyu who was about three meters high in the air.
Lan Xuanyu was stunned too. He had a feeling that this had something to do with his weight since he wasn’t as light as he looks.
However, this feeling of rising up in the air was wonderful. After he got used to the elasticity of the trampoline, he got right into it and enjoyed it so much to the point that he tried to do a backflip.
Nan Cheng watched from a distance and as long as Lan Xuanyu was happy, she was happy. She had the rank of a Spirit Emperor and even though she couldn’t fly, she was outstanding in jumping too. She could even glide in the air for a short period of time so she wasn’t too interested in playing on the trampoline. It was enough to see her son playing happily.
Lan Xuanyu leaped high up in the sky and his aura changed. His mind was opened and he was free from all of his worries.
All of the shopping centres had their own intelligent control systems in the Federation today, and those were used to complete various jobs in the shopping centre in an orderly way. Like the directions provided to Nan Cheng when she parked her car and distribution of goods or reception and more — there were many jobs that didn’t require humans anymore. The intelligent control system was able to complete most of the jobs and it wouldn’t easily make mistakes.
The trampoline park where Nan Cheng and Lan Xuanyu was situated in a big newly-opened building. It had a total of 128 levels and was known as the Horizon Building. It was one of the tallest buildings in Zi Luo City; there were businesses, entertainment facilities, and offices in it.
A huge building like this would have their own think tank to manage the various affairs in the building which includes charging a fee to various businesses and providing guidance.
The think tank would be linked up with the central bank and after a period of time, it would transfer all of the fees it collected into a proprietary account owned by the building in the central bank.
Money is now mostly paid in electronic form. Hence, everyone’s Soul Guidance Communication Device was so important as they were directly bound to one’s vital signs and only the person himself would be able to use it.
The think tank of the Horizon Building was located on the 111th storey of the establishment. The levels above the 100th storey were exclusive to the Horizon Building and were not available for rent. Therefore, there was a special layer that separated the 100th floor to the 101st floor. One would need to transfer to another elevator and he/she would soon be subjected to a set of special security checks in order to enter.
The door of the elevator opened at the 100th storey and a person stepped out.
It was a man with a medium build. He had a short bluish-gray hair and was dressed in a leather outfit; he seemed neat and tidy. He wore a pair of sunglasses and was chewing on a piece of chewing gum. He had both hands in his pockets and his shoulders swayed as he walked out of the elevator.
“I’m here,” He mumbled to himself.
A low voice came from his earphones, saying, “Begin.”
“En. Preparing to invade.” That person was still smiling mischievously but when he spoke, his eyes were already looking towards the elevator that goes to the 101st storey.
There were people guarding the elevator and when they saw the man stopping at the 100th storey but not entering the office building there, two out of the six guards immediately approached him.
They all wore small-sized mechas that covered their entire bodies. These mechas should not be belittled. This high technology product by the Federation could attack and defend. If an ordinary person wore it, his/her strenght would almost be equivalent to a Spirit Master with four Spirit Rings with its defensive power going further beyond its supposed limit.
Furthermore, being able to guard this place, they weren’t ordinary people for sure and had gone through some special training. Their fighting power should be quite strong.
“Do not remain here, please leave as soon as possible.” An electronic voice resounded as one of the guards spoke through the microphone in his helmet.
“What are you guys going to do if I don’t want to leave?” The man dressed in leather shrugged and approached them nonchalantly.
“Don’t cause some trouble. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.” Another guard said sternly.
“Oh. I’ll go, I’ll go, alright?” The man dressed in leather seemed a little disheartened. He raised both his hands, indicating that he was harmless and innocent. Then, he turned around and walked towards the office building.
The guards had seen many people like him who were slightly provocative and they didn’t mind him. They turned around and walked back towards their posts.
At this moment, a smirk appeared on the man’s face. There was a flash of light on his right hand and all of a sudden, a black helmet with a silvery-white crystal on its forehead appeared.
He wore the helmet and pressed the crystal.
“Begin!”
“Buzz——” An invisible force dispersed outwards from the center of the helmet, especially towards those six guards.
And not far from the Horizon Building, the roof on the back carriage of a large Soul Guidance transportation slowly split open. A gigantic electronic interference device that was over three meters in diameter slowly revealed itself.
In the car, there were six people surrounding the interference device and they released their Spirit Power from both hands simultaneously, increasing the power of the interference device to its maximum.
An invisible wave of interference shot through the 111th story of the Horizon Building.
“Isolation completed!”
Horizon Building, 100th story
The six guards were all on the ground already. That man dressed in leather strode to the side of the elevator and wore a mechanical hand. A few strands of threads appeared and it quickly drilled into the metal panel that led to the higher floors.
“Start the invasion.”
“You’re now disconnected from the Central Bank. You have 15 minutes to do this, so again, retreat in 15 minutes.”
The man dressed in leather then laughed. “Don’t worry, I can do it in ten.”
