Chapter 63 Don't Take an Airplane

Xingwei lowered her head and pursed her lips slightly.

She would occasionally look up and gaze at Li Zhe with her golden eyes.

Like a kitten waiting for its owner's praise.

Damn, these ship girls are absolutely adorable.

"Commander? What do you think? Does it suit your taste..." Xing asked again hesitantly, her voice growing softer.

"The talisman...it's too amazing..."

Li Zhe felt like his language module was about to short-circuit.

He instinctively reached out his hand.

I want to pinch Xing's bouncy and smooth cheeks as usual.

To calm my uncontrollable heartbeat.

Just as his fingers were about to touch that warm, smooth skin—

"Buzzing—Buzzing—Buzzing—"

An urgent cell phone vibration rang out, at an inopportune moment.

Li Zhe froze, a thousand grass mud horses galloping through his mind.

Who the hell is that?!

Such a good time to pick a moment!
He picked up his phone somewhat impatiently and glanced at the caller ID.

It's Su Wan.

Emmm...

After all, they got a shipyard from her.

This mothership yacht was acquired thanks to her.

Basic business etiquette is still necessary.

Li Zhe calmed his somewhat agitated emotions and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Su, is there something you need?"

"Mr. Li! Are you free recently?"

On the other end of the phone came Su Wan's voice, full of surprise and enthusiasm.

"I saw your post on WeChat Moments. You're still near the Pudong Islands, right?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Well, the situation has become increasingly tense recently, so my niece's school canceled her final exams and she'll be on holiday tomorrow."

"I was thinking of taking her to Disneyland in Shenhai Chuansha in the next few days. Would you like to come along? I'll cover all the tickets, food, accommodation, and travel expenses!"

Su Wan's tone was full of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhe pondered for a moment.

He had planned to go back to the city to take care of some things.

But the other party actually wanted to interfere with my schedule?
Haha, I'm such a grown man, why would I go to an amusement park? Especially a place like Disneyland, full of consumerist traps and princess fantasy bubbles...

and many more……

If the other party covers the tickets and such, that wouldn't be a bad idea.

anyway……

Disney... the Disney in Shanghai seems to be...

Right here in Chuansha!

The location for the "Fissure Seed" exploration quest is also in Chuansha!
In this way, it would be perfect to take a trip to the amusement park on the way, spend half a day getting a free meal, and conduct the investigation at the same time.

“Alright,” Li Zhe agreed. “I won’t trouble you with the travel expenses, Ms. Su. I’m free the day after tomorrow afternoon. We can meet at the Disney entrance.”

"That's great!" Su Wan's voice was filled with undisguised joy. "Then it's a deal! See you the day after tomorrow afternoon!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhe glanced at Xing beside him, who had silently changed back into her initial outfit.

"Commander, your flight has been booked. You are expected to arrive at Shanghai Pudong International Airport tomorrow afternoon. Would you like me to book a hotel near Disneyland for you?"

"No need, I have a shop in the city, I can stay there."

"As ordered."

I spent my precious day off relaxing and slacking off during the day, and stargazing at night...

The next day.

June 23, 1st year of the Crisis Era, Monday.

Get plenty of rest and ready to go!
...For Li Zhe, the last time he flew was the last time.

And my last flying experience...

Can't say bad.

It's simply terrible!
Although that near-crash experience ended without serious injury.

But to be honest, it still gave him some psychological trauma about flying.

This time, however, a star accompanied him throughout.

The mothership and yacht were properly stored in the maintenance hangar, and other valuables and materials were also packed up and stored in the hangar.

Li Zhe achieved the freedom to go out with his family without any burden.

The star resides within its own body, ready to provide comprehensive technical support, tactical analysis, and material management at any time.

With such a reliable and absolutely loyal ship spirit partner by his side, Li Zhe felt much more at ease, and his peace of mind was at its peak.

Hopefully, nothing else will go wrong on this flight.

But just in case.

Before boarding, he conducted an extremely detailed and comprehensive scan of the entire aircraft, including all passengers and crew.

"Commander, scan complete." Xing's voice rang in Li Zhe's mind. "No abyssal energy reaction or abnormal life signs detected. Threat level: safe."

"That's good."

Li Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he did have some PTSD and was being overly cautious.

This flight departs from Kagoshima Airport and flies directly to Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

As Li Zhe held his boarding pass and prepared to head towards economy class, Xing gently called out to him.

"Commander, your seat is not here."

"Ok?"

Li Zhe looked down at his boarding pass and was immediately stunned.

Seat: 1A, Cabin Class: First Class

"Xing, you..."

"Commander, Jiangdong Shipbuilding Group is now on the right track. Several recent government cooperation projects have yielded considerable profits, and the group has ample cash flow. As the group's president, your travels should be befitting of the appropriate standards, which will help maintain the group's image and your personal prestige."

Xing's voice was as straightforward as ever, but Li Zhe detected a hint of...

pride?

It's like a thrifty housekeeper who, after working hard to make her master look good, can't hide her little bit of pride and desire for praise.

"Well done."

Li Zhe praised himself in his heart and accepted the arrangement without hesitation.

That's true, now I'm at least the CEO of a shipbuilding group.

Traveling in economy class is definitely a case of having to endure hardship for no reason.

Stepping into the spacious and bright first-class cabin, Li Zhe was immediately enveloped by an atmosphere of luxury.

The genuine leather sofa seats can be fully reclined, so soft it feels like sinking into a cloud.

It features a dedicated entertainment system, a huge LCD screen, and even a separate bar and champagne station.

The flight attendant, with a sweet smile and the gentlest voice, asked him what drink he would like.

"A glass of ice water, please."

Li Zhe leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and felt every pore on his body relax.

It's good to be rich.

"Sir, your ice water."

A familiar and gentle voice rang in my ears.

Li Zhe turned his head and saw a face that surprised him.

It's Xia Lin, the flight attendant he rescued on that last flight.

She was still dressed in her uniform today, and her hair was carefully styled.

She looked radiant, a stark contrast to her disheveled appearance after the plane crash.

Charlene seemed to have noticed Li Zhe as well.

A hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes...

Why does this man in front of me look so familiar?
