Chapter 303 – Americans That Are Filled with Love (1)

Dududu…

Super Floating Castle, Forbidden Forest:

The deafening sound of propellers spinning echoed throughout the forest as a helicopter gradually descended onto the forest.

Taking off his helmet, Musk jumped down the helicopter and walked quickly toward the castle complex’s east gate, the strong winds messing up his prided hairstyle.

“Mr. Musk, do I need to go in as well?” Musk’s male a.s.sistant shouted.

“What did you say? Speak louder.”

“Do I need to go in with you as well?!” the male a.s.sistant shouted hoa.r.s.ely.

Pausing, Musk looked back at the helicopter’s whirling propellers. After pondering for a moment, he leaned into his a.s.sistant’s ear and shouted, “Wait here. Give me the files.”

“OK!” The a.s.sistant gestured. He then opened his briefcase, took out stacks of plans and doc.u.ments, and handed them to Musk.

Turning his body around, Musk used his body to shield the doc.u.ments from the hurricane blowing behind him. After looking through the doc.u.ments carefully and making sure that nothing was missing, he nodded and said, “Once you receive my message, contact the team immediately and have them prepare to land on Mars.”

“Understood.”

After running out of the airport by himself, Musk slowed down and started observing the forest scenery around him as he walked. Although he had partic.i.p.ated in the previous interactive event Chen Yu hosted, this was the first time he was setting foot on the Super Floating Castle.

Pausing momentarily, he pulled off a few leaves from a nearby tree branch and observed them carefully. To his surprise, he found that there were actually differences in texture between the leaves! There weren’t any noticeable differences between the trees here and the trees found in nature.

“Unbelievable…”

After breathing out a sigh, Musk sped up once more. Soon, he walked out of the forest and arrived before the castle complex’s east gate.

Two students dressed in mage robes and hats were currently seated on a stone bench outside the gate while conversing in a low voice.

Looking at this sight, Musk fell into a trance. For a moment, he had the misconception that he had stepped into an actual magic academy…

“H-h.e.l.lo, may I go in?”

Hearing Musk’s voice, the two students looked toward him and reacted in surprise. “Are you Elon Musk?”

“Yes, I am Musk. It is an honor to meet you,” Musk said as he extended his hand.

“h.e.l.lo.” A male student shook Musk’s hand. He then pointed at the gate behind him and said, “The gate isn’t locked. You can head inside directly. It seems you came to meet with our headmaster?”

“Oh?” Narrowing his eyes, Musk asked, “Why would you say that?”

“It’s obvious. The Chinese government has already started its journey to Mars. You don’t want to give up the t.i.tle of first place, so you intend to push forward your plans.”

“Ha, amazing,” Musk responded, feeling a little embarra.s.sed. After bidding goodbye to the two students, he pushed open the heavy metal gate and entered the castle complex.

The first thing he saw after entering the complex was a s.p.a.cious courtyard. The courtyard was decorated with potted plants, and the fragrance of gra.s.s enveloped the area. Several ornamental birds with gorgeous feathers also sang a pleasant tune in the courtyard. At a glance, the courtyard looked ancient and full of mysteries.

“This is a good place to go to school.”

The Transdimensional Academy was clearly the most technologically advanced academy in the world. Yet, there were no signs of modern facilities and decorations in the castle complex. He couldn’t help but find this contrast to be strange, and his originally complicated mood had calmed down significantly.

Looking back and glancing at the two students outside, Musk shut the gate and pulled out a printed paper map. He then walked along a corridor and made his way to the central courtyard.

Five minutes later, he arrived at his destination. However, apart from two giant pandas, there was no one else present in the courtyard.

Looking around, Musk casually found a place to sit down and shut his eyes. While waiting for Chen Yu to arrive, he thought about how he should talk with Chen Yu to achieve his goal.

Patter, patter…

Shortly after, the faint sound of footsteps entered his ears.

Sharpening his spirits, Musk opened his eyes and looked at the source of the footsteps nervously, only to be stunned immediately.

The person walking over wasn’t Transdimensional’s UP.

Instead, it was an animal breeder garbed in protective clothing.

Neeeh! Neeeh!

Upon seeing the breeder, the two pandas immediately rushed over in joy. They then enjoyed the fresh and moist bamboo shoots the breeder fed them.

Is he not coming?

Looking at his watch, Musk’s expression sank slightly.

He was quite afraid that he had been stood up. It would be bad if that happened.

“Hey, old pal.”

At this time, a palm suddenly patted Musk on the shoulder.

“Ah!” Startled, Musk jumped more than a meter high. He then hurriedly turned around before saying in surprise, “M-Mr. King.”

“What’s with that scared look of yours?” Straightening his mask, Chen Yu leisurely circled around to Musk’s front. While scrutinizing Musk, he asked, “Did you do something bad?”

“Huh?” Calming down, Musk asked in awkward Chinese, “What does that mean?”[1]

“Forget it; it’s nothing.” Waving his hand, Chen Yu sat down and leaned back on his chair. He then pointed at the two pandas nearby and said, “My house raised them. Are they cute?”

“Y-Yes…” Musk answered. While wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, “Mr. King, when did you arrive?”

“I arrived shortly after you did. But seeing as you were preoccupied with your thoughts, I decided not to disturb your rest.”

After making a few awkward laughs, Musk said hesitantly, “Mr. King, I came here to find you this time t-to…”

“To ask me whether I can send your people onto Mars first, right?” Chen Yu said, going straight into the topic.

“Yes!” Musk nodded repeatedly.

“I’m not a politician, so I won’t speak in circles with you.” Turning to look at Musk, Chen Yu said, “I’m sorry, but that won’t be possible.”

Musk’s heart immediately sank at Chen Yu’s reply.

Crossing his legs, Chen Yu shrugged and continued, “Our initial plan was to open a portal for you to land on Mars in three months. Now, this time has yet to arrive. The materials and preparations should be insufficient, as well. For the sake of the personnel’s safety, I cannot change my plan. Mars is like a woman. No relationship can be formed if you try to force your feelings on her.”

Musk: “…”

“To be clear, I didn’t offer China any advantages just because China wanted to land on Mars. Although I am a Chinese citizen, I prioritize my principles over all else. A person’s principle is worth more than anything in the world.”

Musk: “…”

“Also, according to my knowledge, the Chinese government isn’t planning on colonizing Mars, so you don’t need to worry too much. The t.i.tle of the first colony will still be yours. Not to mention, everyone is human. What does it matter whether who comes first or later? My partnership with your company isn’t for the sake of fame, either. We are doing it purely for the human race’s interests. Am I right?”

Musk: “…”

“In short, everything will proceed according to plan. When I say I will open the portal in three months, I will open it in three months. I hope you can make adequate preparations and avoid bringing any harm to the colony’s personnel.” After saying so, Chen Yu glanced at his surroundings briefly before leaning into Musk’s ear and saying, “Furthermore, the news of China landing on Mars has already been spread far and wide. If I help you land on Mars ahead of China, the people who are ignorant of my existence will definitely suspect something. You should know as well that I don’t wish for my viewership to rise too rapidly.”

“But…” Although Chen Yu had already made his stance clear, Musk still wasn’t willing to back down. After hesitating for a long time, he bit the bullet and asked, “Mr. King, can’t you open the portal once in advance? If we only send two astronauts over, the materials we prepared should be plentiful. As for the subsequent personnel and materials, I will transport them by rockets. I won’t trouble you for support again…”

“Mr. Musk.” His tone gradually became serious, Chen Yu said, “Since you’ve already said so much, there’s no way I cannot give you face.”

“M-Mr. King…” Musk’s eyes widened at Chen Yu’s words, and a light of hope reappeared in them.

“Let’s go.” Standing up, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, “Go and organize the necessary personnel and materials. We’ll open a portal now and send you to Mars!”

“Mr. King! I would like to thank you on behalf of the s.p.a.ceX Company!”

“You’re welcome! For freedom!”
