Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 35 The Big Airplane!

"Who are you?" Zhuge Tao on the other end of the phone seemed a little confused. "What are you?"

"Mars."

"The God of War is so great, let me tell you, you should go to the elite..." Zhuge Tao paused, then his tone suddenly changed, "What did you say? God of War? You? You're the God of War???"

"Yes." Jiang Lan said calmly, "Although it hasn't been tested, I should have passed the threshold for becoming a God of War."

"No?" Zhuge Tao was almost going crazy. "Are you kidding me? Are you sure?"

Jiang Lan was also somewhat helpless. "Brother Tao, even if it was a joke, I wouldn't joke about something like this with you, would I?"

"No! Don't call me Brother Tao!"

Jiang Lan was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

"You're my brother! Brother Lan! Ancestor!" Zhuge Tao was almost speechless, his voice trembling as he said, "Can you tell me, you've only been gone for two days, how did you become a war god?"

Jiang Lan blinked.

It was made through sacrifice.

Of course, he couldn't tell Zhuge Tao about the existence of the system.

Even if Zhuge Tao were his father, it wouldn't matter, let alone if he were his brother.

"Brother Tao, do you think it's possible that I'm a one-in-a-million cultivation genius?"

Zhuge Tao remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied:

"If you're not kidding me, then you're not some one-in-a-million cultivation genius. It's questionable whether there's even one in ten thousand Earths with your kind of talent."

Zhuge Tao was in turmoil.

Previously, Jiang Lan had already been tested and was a warrior. Although he had never seen this situation before, he could explain it.

Who knows, maybe they've suddenly unlocked their full potential?

Moreover, after Jiang Lan's matter was reported to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, the headquarters did not have any particularly strong reaction.

Those who deserve promotion were promoted, and those who deserve rewards were rewarded; everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

At most, the headmaster will send someone over to personally guide them through the training, and will also give them a spot in the elite training camp.

This also made Zhuge Tao realize that Jiang Lan might indeed be a genius, but while his genius might attract the attention of headquarters, it wasn't enough to shake the entire headquarters from top to bottom.

Moreover, given his current position and knowledge, he also knows of many treasures that can enhance a martial artist's strength in a short period of time.

At first, he didn't realize it, but after these few days, Zhuge Tao also vaguely felt that Jiang Lan might have had a stroke of good luck, perhaps encountering some kind of plant spirit or something, and even happened to eat it.

But now, his previous ideas have been completely overturned.

Are you kidding me? What the hell is this "spirit of plants and trees" that's so powerful?

Even if there really was such an amazing thing, it would definitely have been divided up by the powerful people on Earth as soon as it appeared. How could it possibly be the turn of a child who has never left the base city since birth?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Tao's throat tightened slightly.

He swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice:

"You're currently at the Southeast Military Region supply base, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll come pick you up now for the test. After the test, I need to submit the results to headquarters. This test is very important. Can you cooperate?"

Unbeknownst to them, Zhuge Tao's tone when speaking to Jiang Lan had begun to subtly carry a sense of request.

Jiang Lan only thought for a moment before agreeing:

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the supply base."

There are two reasons why we agreed to Zhuge Tao's request.

On the one hand, he originally planned to go to the wilderness area and explore those former big cities.

This is a good opportunity to ask Zhuge Tao.

Although Zhuge Tao's strength is not as good as his at this time, he has been a martial artist for decades. Putting aside everything else, just in terms of knowledge alone, he is definitely better than him, a transmigrator who has almost forgotten the original work.

Moreover, Zhuge Tao has an airplane, so after the test is completed, he will most likely be able to take him there.

In that case, the round trip, plus the time for testing strength, might be faster than Jiang Lan going to other cities on her own.

On the other hand...

Strength is something that can't be hidden. If you try to hide it coyly, it will only arouse more suspicion.

So he might as well maintain this "genius" persona to the end.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan yawned.

I was planning to get a good night's sleep, but judging from the current situation, I guess I won't be able to.

"I'm coming now, I'll be there in half...fifteen minutes!"

Jiang Lan's lips twitched. Zhuge Tao was supposed to be a regional manager, so how come he had no depth at all?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lan looked out the window.

Test it as soon as possible, take a break after the test, and then head straight to the next destination.

He had a premonition.

Breaking through to the planetary stage won't take more than a few days.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Lan glanced at her watch and estimated that it was about time, so she dressed herself and walked out of the villa.

Before long, a rumbling sound came from the distant horizon.

There are many martial artists inside this supply base, and naturally quite a few outside as well.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked up.

"An airplane? Airplanes don't come here very often. Which big shot came down for an inspection?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think those big shots are like you, with nothing better to do all day?"

"Hey, just say what you want to say, why are you resorting to personal attacks?"

Jiang Lan also looked towards the sky.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Zhuge Tao who comes.

The planes here are somewhat different from those in his previous world.

In Jiang Lan's previous life, although airplanes were very expensive, any wealthy person could afford one if they gritted their teeth.

But the world is different.

Since the Great Nirvana period, which is after the outbreak of the RR virus, the wilderness area has been filled with a large number of flying monsters, the strongest of which are even lord-level.

Ordinary materials, if even lightly bumped by these monsters, might be completely destroyed, ultimately resulting in the destruction of the machine and the loss of life.

Therefore, the technology and materials used to manufacture an airplane today are unimaginable. The cost of building one is comparable to, if not more expensive than, an aircraft carrier in Jiang Lan's previous life.

Such precious items naturally have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Even the vast majority of martial artists can only enjoy watching; as for sitting in one, they can forget about it.

Amidst the discussions among the people at the supply base, the plane landed on the tarmac, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

The cabin door opened, and Zhuge Tao hurriedly jumped off the plane. Seeing Jiang Lan standing to the side, he grabbed Jiang Lan's hand and pulled him into the plane without saying a word.

As he walked, he asked:

"Is your punching power now 640,000 kilograms? Has your speed broken the sound barrier? Let me tell you, Brother Lan, I rushed over here and canceled a ton of things, you'd better give me a surprise."

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

surprise?

Hopefully, it won't be a shock.
