Chapter 259 - It's Better to Hug Together Than to Hug Alone (First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Xia Chujian was even more embarrassed, "It's okay! It's okay! Master, you go ahead and do your thing! Liu Shun, apart from looking a bit awkward, actually has no problems with its other functions. We can talk about it when you're done. My house is newly built, very big, and I'll prepare the best guest room for you!"

"Hahahaha! No problem! It's settled then!" Su Buyan said, waving at her and ending the call.

However, as soon as he ended the video call with Xia Chujian, Huo Yushen's video call request came in.

Su Buyan quickly pressed to answer.

Huo Yushen's stern face appeared on the virtual display screen.

He said, "Master Su, your apprentice wants to install an air defense identification system. I'll send you the software program. When you have time, help her put together a set using the old equipment that's been phased out. Once it's done, send it to me, and I'll have someone take it to Guiyuan Star to install for her."

Su Buyan quickly said, "No problem! Why use old equipment that's been phased out! With Marshal Huo's software system, plus my Su Buyan's supporting hardware, I dare say, Guiyuan Star's military air defense identification system won't be as good as hers!"

Huo Yushen still looked stern and said coldly, "No matter how good the things you make are, it's useless if your apprentice can't afford them. It's fine to just use the old equipment that the military has phased out."

"That won't do!" Su Buyan flatly refused, "My apprentice's air defense identification system doesn't need her to pay! I'll give it to her!"

Huo Yushen looked impatient and said casually, "... Whatever."

The video call ended, and Huo Yushen had already returned to his Bat-style Fighter Jet. He took out those few strands of hair and couldn't wait to start sequencing them with the DNA Sequencer. Then, he took out the blood sample he had prepared long ago and performed a parentage test comparison.

Five minutes later, Huo Yushen watched the detected data without showing any emotion.

The instrument displayed that the comparison had failed.

That Ji Jiayi was not his sister.

He had specifically tested the biological characteristic attributes of the hair, confirming that it was not a Face Mask made with biological synthesis technology, so he ruled out the possibility of it being a Face Mask.

But how could they look so similar?!

Could it be that this person had plastic surgery?

Or was Master Hu's prediction not quite correct? Is it possible that this girl's appearance is not what his sister would look like grown up? Then where exactly is his sister?! Although Huo Yushen was mentally prepared, at this moment, an unspeakable hostility surged in his chest.

Before the Bat-style Fighter Jet made a space jump, he sent a message to Xia Chujian with a calm face.

[Huo Yushen]: Be careful of Ji Jiayi. Her identity is likely similar to Yu Wangyou.

When Xia Chujian saw this message, her mood, which had been improving, suddenly became very bad.

She sat in the living room, looking at the green grass and blooming flowers outside the French windows, but her mood was like a sky covered with dark clouds.

Heavy, making it hard for her to breathe.

She had another week of vacation. She didn't want to do test papers at home, and she didn't want to continue to let her imagination run wild. She wanted to find something else to do to keep herself busy so that she wouldn't be suspicious and paranoid anymore.

She specifically contacted Meng Guanghui.

[Xia Chujian]: Leader Meng, I have a week's vacation. Can I go to the Branch Station to learn how to fly a fighter jet?

These learning tasks were originally planned by Meng Guanghui to wait until after her National Higher Education Entrance Examination, during the summer vacation, to take her to Kanli Star for specialized training.

Mulan City did not have a suitable place for fighter jet training.

On Kanli Star, their Special Security Bureau had a training base with specialized training grounds and a more complete range of fighter jets.

Meng Guanghui quickly replied to her.

[Meng Guanghui]: Sure, since you have a week's vacation, how about I take you directly to the Flying Base on Kanli Star for practice when I get back from Wind Sea City?

Xia Chujian was tempted for a moment.

But thinking about how Mulan City had been uneasy recently, and her newly moved house was isolated outside Mulan City, with even less security than inside Mulan City.

The people, Humanoids, Small Dog, and robots at home had no ability to protect themselves...

[Xia Chujian]: Can you bring my whole family over?

[Meng Guanghui]: Of course not. What are you dreaming about?

[Xia Chujian]: Then forget it. If the Branch Station is not convenient...

[Meng Guanghui]: It's really not convenient. Just take a good rest this week and don't push yourself too hard.

Xia Chujian couldn't go to learn how to fly a fighter jet, so she turned to the Squad Channel of the Dark Night Hunter Association to send a message.

[Xia Chujian]: Everyone, have you taken on any missions recently? I have a week's vacation and don't want to do test papers at home.

The members of the Dark Night Hunter Association Team were speechless when they saw this message.

[Ye Shijie]: You just fired twenty shots to kill a psychopath the day before yesterday. Didn't you shoot enough bullets, didn't you have enough fun?

[Xia Chujian]: The captain knows me best! My Large Sniper Rifle is hungry and thirsty!

[Xia Chujian]: If I had a Submachine Gun in my hand, I would definitely fire three hundred bullets!

However, the heat surrounding the Mulan City No. 1 High School case quickly died down on the Star Network.

Compared to Yu Wangyou's long farewell post on Star Blog, it was a drop in the bucket and didn't cause much of a stir online.

It didn't even generate as much traffic as that animated image of Xia Chujian.

Even now, some people on the Star Network still miss that animated image, but sadly, it's gone forever.

No one wanted to talk about it anymore, and Song Mingqian was the first to change the subject.

[Song Mingqian]: Xia Chujian, you're amazing! You've become a manor owner! Tell us, have you latched onto some big shot recently? Tell us so we can latch on too!

[Ping Qiong]: Exactly! Sharing is caring! Xia Chujian remembered the house Ping Qiong bought and immediately asked her.

[Xia Chujian]: Cai Jie, when are you moving into your new house? I'm free tomorrow and can help you move!

[Ping Qiong]: It's been two months since the transfer, but it's still being renovated, so I can't entertain everyone yet.

[Xia Chujian]: Still being renovated?! Are you turning it into a palace?

[Li Fu]: Cai Jie just can't hold onto money. Why renovate? After she bought the house, her mom tricked her out of the rest of her money...

Xia Chujian: "..."

She knew it!

She clearly saw that Ping Qiong's house was still the same as when she bought it. Where was the renovation?

[Xia Chujian]: Perfect! Let's do missions together. Cai Jie needs money to renovate her house. Song Mingqian, am I right?

[Song Mingqian]: Sister Xia is right! Sister Xia is brilliant!

Xia Chujian's lips twitched.

Finally, Ye Shijie saw that it was getting late and sent one last message.

[Ye Shijie]: The Association doesn't have any missions we can take recently. I don't think you guys are planning to go to the Exotic Beast Forest, right?

Xia Chujian thought about it and declined.

[Xia Chujian]: I only have one week, not a month. I don't want to go to the Exotic Beast Forest.

The main thing was that she now had Aunt Chen. If she really wanted to go, it would only take a minute.

[Ye Shijie]: Chujian, you're in your final year of high school. Studying is the most important thing. Don't even think about doing missions during your week off. Focus on your studies.

Xia Chujian was lectured by her teammates again.

Everyone thought that if Xia Chujian wanted to find an opportunity for everyone to get together, that was fine, but doing missions was unnecessary.

She was at the most critical moment and couldn't afford any mistakes.

Since Xia Chujian had to prepare for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, their team hadn't taken on any missions.

Fortunately, everyone made a fortune at the end of last year, so they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink even if they didn't work for the next ten years.

They all knew that Xia Chujian was clearly stimulated by what had happened in the past few days.

At this time, they couldn't let her do missions, because she was too likely to act impulsively.

Xia Chujian had always been the one in the team who liked to act impulsively.

Therefore, they couldn't indulge her even more.

Since she couldn't go to the Special Security Bureau for training and there were no suitable missions at the Dark Night Hunter Association, Xia Chujian had to stay at home.

Fortunately, on the first day of her vacation, Xia Yuanfang understood the "huge" mental impact she had suffered in the past few days and agreed that she didn't have to do practice papers and could go to work with her at her new Life is in the Distance Studio in the Plaza Garden.

Only then did Xia Chujian regain some of her spirit.

"Aunt, are we all going?"

As she said this, she held the Small Dog Si Xi in her arms and carried the chubby Wu Fu on her back.

Xia Yuanfang's lips twitched. "You're all ready, of course we're going together."

Xia Chujian said, "Let's take my Flying Vehicle. We don't need Aunt Chen to send us anymore. We can start getting used to using Flying Vehicles for transportation."

She was talking about Feng Qianzhan's Flying Vehicle.

It used to be used as a temporary residence for San Zong, Aunt Chen, and Zhu Yingying.

Now that they had built a new house here, San Zong, Aunt Chen, and Zhu Yingying all had their own rooms on the second floor, so they didn't need to continue living in that Flying Vehicle.

Moreover, Song Mingqian had also helped Xia Chujian get legal identification for the Flying Vehicle.

It could fly into Mulan City.

When they lived in Mulan City before, Xia Yuanfang would take the Inner City Maglev Train to her studio.

Now that they live outside Mulan City, she either has to ask Aunt Chen to send her using "Stealth," or, as Xia Chujian said, take a Flying Vehicle in.

Driving would take eight or nine hours.

Then she wouldn't have time for anything else but driving back and forth.

Xia Yuanfang is now eager to get her studio open for business.

Only with the first deal can she break the ice, and only then can she get higher profits later.

After they discussed it, Xia Chujian, with Si Xi and Wu Fu, got into the Flying Vehicle with Xia Yuanfang and flew towards the Plaza Garden in Mulan City.

To go to work at Xia Yuanfang's studio.

It had been almost three months since Xia Chujian had been to Plaza Garden, and she was still stunned by the desolate scene there.

"...Really... is there really no foot traffic at all?" Xia Chujian looked at the empty Plaza, and the white doves that occasionally flew up from the Plaza, and was extremely disappointed.

No foot traffic means no customers, so what's the point of opening a studio? The shops here are overpriced even at 30,000! Xia Chujian seemed to see the landlord who sold her the house counting money while laughing at her for being a fool...

Xia Yuanfang didn't care and said calmly, "It's better this way. What I do is not suitable for places with high foot traffic."

Xia Chujian was skeptical: "Aunt, are you comforting me? If I hadn't taken it upon myself to buy the house, even if we lost money, we would only lose a year's rent..."

Xia Yuanfang said, "Of course not, the house wasn't overpriced at all, you did a great job."

As she spoke, they had already come out of the elevator and arrived in front of Xia Yuanfang's studio.

It was also Xia Chujian's first time here.

The studio's door was black, very simple and unadorned.

Only on the wall next to the door was a rectangular black and gold plaque, with the studio's impressive name carved in relief.

"Life is in the Distance Studio".
