Chapter 97 The Road to the Strongest MT (Bonus Chapter for Recommended Tickets)

This high-tech luxury plane took only six hours to transport Fang Senyan to his destination: Nice Côte d'Azur Airport.

Soon after, Fang Senyan met Zi at a picturesque private manor.

Zi's attire appeared very ordinary, even somewhat simple. She wore a simple chestnut-colored suit, yet it couldn't conceal her cold, aloof, and noble aura. Beside her stood a woman holding a file bag and wearing black-framed square glasses.

However, Fang Senyan's gaze lingered beside Zi.

To be precise, it was on the beast next to her that immediately brought a lion to mind.

Without a doubt, it was a huge Tibetan mastiff.

A purebred Tibetan mastiff.

The creature lazily lay beside Zi, glanced at Fang Senyan, and then indifferently rested its chin on its paws.

Clearly, this fierce creature from Qinghai had no interest in Fang Senyan.

Zi looked at Fang Senyan.

Fang Senyan also looked at her. For some reason, there seemed to be an indescribable barrier between them, and neither wanted to speak first. The atmosphere was strange, but not awkward, because they both understood that whoever greeted first would seem to be yielding.

But then, Fang Senyan smiled slightly and made a gesture of running while carrying a sack. Zi immediately rolled her eyes. Her secretary was very surprised, because she had been with Zi for seven years and had never seen Zi make such an expression.

Even more bizarre was that the person who elicited this expression from Zi was a man.

A young man who looked unkempt, even a little sloppy!

This man looked so ordinary, the kind you could find a dime a dozen on the street. If he were to blend into a crowd, he would disappear as quickly as a pinch of sugar or salt falling into soup. It seemed that there were many people stronger than him within the consortium.

However, Zi treated him differently, not only sending a Gulfstream jet to pick him up but also displaying special behavior, which the secretary couldn't understand at all.

Seeing Fang Senyan's casual and generous demeanor, a hint of surprise and admiration appeared in Zi's phoenix eyes. She extended her hand to Fang Senyan, revealing a smile and saying,

"Welcome to the Da Da Te Farm. I am Su Linzi. This is my secretary, Ms. Annette."

Fang Senyan grasped Zi's hand, feeling a sense of fullness, suppleness, and bonelessness. His heart stirred, but he smiled and said,

"I am Fang Senyan. Thank you for your invitation. By the way, the crew members on the Elizabeth were very attentive."

Under Ms. Annette's guidance, Fang Senyan and Zi arrived on a hillside next to the private manor. Here, the grass was green, the sky was blue, and in the distance, the majestic Alps stood tall and imposing. From here, one could also see Nice's famous Blue Coast, truly a picturesque scene. However, what Fang Senyan appreciated most here was the openness, spaciousness, and clear visibility, which could greatly reduce the threat of eavesdropping on their conversation.

Fang Senyan nestled into the deck chair placed on the hillside, sighed comfortably, and looked at Zi, waiting for her to speak. However, Zi calmly picked up the cup next to her and sipped her coffee, seemingly admiring the scenery, before saying after a while,

"When I called you, you said you were daydreaming?"

Fang Senyan nodded and said,

"Yes."

A curious look appeared in Zi's phoenix eyes:

"Someone like you...should have your time calculated and planned to the second. Why would you have time to daydream?"

Fang Senyan squinted, looking at Zi with a malicious gaze:

"Before I answer your question, can you answer me first? What did you originally want to say, but temporarily replaced with 'someone like you'?"

This time, Zi finally laughed out loud, but immediately covered her mouth and said,

"Alright, since you insist on asking, then I can tell you very clearly, it was 'bastard'! Ever since I came out of the Avatar world, I've been wondering what kind of person this bastard, Sailor, is. So, when I saw you, I couldn't help but think of those two words."

Fang Senyan spread his hands, no longer discussing this tangled issue with her, but answered Zi's previous question:

"The reason I was daydreaming was that I suddenly realized something strange: friends, family, seem to be incompatible with me. It seems they all have their lives, and I can no longer integrate into them as I did before."

After hearing Fang Senyan's words, Zi was silent for a while and said,

"You're wrong. It's not that you're incompatible with them, but rather that since you became a Contractor, such things are bound to happen."

Fang Senyan was also a person with extremely high intelligence. After a moment of愣, he immediately chewed out the deep meaning in Zi's words, and his face immediately became very unsightly. He fell silent, and Zi continued to the point:

"Do you have a way to integrate into the life of a bird? Do you have a way to have in-depth heart-to-heart talks and exchanges with a fish? Of course not, because your life forms are completely different, how can you do such a thing?"

Fang Senyan took a deep breath and said sadly:

"Yes, you're right. From the day we became Contractors, we have been going further and further away from the path of humans. Now, the difference between us and our relatives and friends may not be great, but if we continue to evolve like this...one day, the cruel reality you mentioned will happen."

Zi turned her head away and was silent for a while and said:

"You only have this feeling now, I've been used to it for a long time."

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, but it was not awkward, nor was it a cold silence, but a very harmonious tranquility.

Although Fang Senyan and Zi did not have verbal communication, they knew each other's thoughts and even feelings at this time. This was truly a subtle and peculiar experience.

After a long, long time, but it seemed like only a moment, Zi then whispered:

"I have three things to ask you this time."

Fang Senyan nodded and said:

"Tell me."

Zi glanced at her and said:

"Do you know why Zeus is still obsessed with me?"

Fang Senyan did not expect that Zi would ask himself this question. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said:

"Of course, it's because your charm is very high, so he has to fall at your jeans."

Zi rolled her eyes at him and said:

"I don't wear jeans—the reason why he must have me merge into his team, or if that doesn't work, then he must kill me—is because I have a great secret in my hands, a great secret about the MT! Even Zeus only knows a fragmented bit of this secret, so he is unwilling to face me and fight me unless he has no other choice! Because the wrong information he has misled him, making him think that I have the strength to perish with him!"

Fang Senyan listened very quietly, knowing that Zi must have her own intentions in saying this.

At this time, Zi looked at Fang Senyan and continued:

"As far as I know, MTs are also divided into many types. Zeus's MT power comes from the earth. He is a natural MT, and Skull's power comes from equipment and metal. He belongs to the metal MT. In addition, I have also seen a mental MT. The power of this MT comes from the spirit. His health points are the same as ordinary Colonists, and the extra protection and survivability come from the mental shield on the surface of his body..."

"However, the secret I got has mastered the road to the strongest MT in the legend!"

"The strongest...the road to the MT?" Fang Senyan exclaimed in shock.

"Yes." Zi said very definitely. "However, it's just a road. As for whether you can become the strongest MT, it depends on whether the person who gets this secret has the ability to get to the end of the road."

Fang Senyan squinted at Zi:

"It seems, you intend to give this secret to me?"

Zi nodded and said:

"Not bad."

Having said that, she raised her hand and patted it in the air. The mighty Tibetan mastiff slowly walked over. Zi affectionately rubbed its head, and then took off a string of seemingly ordinary prayer beads from the Tibetan mastiff's neck.

"It's it. Oh, yes, I killed the Wild Dog of the Skull and Bones and also got his silver storyline item: Life Monitor. I have no use for this thing and mailed it to you when I left the space."

Fang Senyan took the string of prayer beads, but couldn't see anything special about it. He just felt that this thing was surprisingly heavy. Zi said lightly:

"When your ability is sufficient, it will naturally show abnormalities."

Fang Senyan tried to collect these prayer beads into his personal space, but found that the Nightmare Imprint sent a series of prompts:

"You have obtained an unknown item ????"

"You cannot put it into your personal space."

"Your current ability is insufficient to obtain detailed information about this item."

"Your current ability is insufficient to carry this item into the Nightmare Space or the Nightmare World."

"Please quickly become a Colonist to meet the basic requirements for identifying this item."

Looking at this series of prompts, Fang Senyan knew that this thing must not be ordinary, and said solemnly to Zi:

"Thank you."

Zi smiled slightly and said:

"Helping you is also helping myself—the second thing, I want to achieve a perfect evaluation of the real world mission of the soul equipment I got: Pen of Remembrance, but I must have your help. Do you have time?"

Fang Senyan shrugged and said:

"Can I say no?"

Zi raised her eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling:

"You can try to say it."

Fang Senyan immediately shrank very shamelessly:

"Okay, if you don't say it, you don't say it."

"The third thing." Zi looked into Fang Senyan's eyes and said very seriously: "I want to withdraw from the Ace Team."
