Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 588 - 562: Conversation

The next evening.

A car brought Chen Shouyi to a heavily guarded location.

This was a very private meeting, not in an office, but at the presidential residence.

Chen Shouyi had a meal, and the two chatted casually like old friends for a while, with a harmonious atmosphere.

During this, the President asked, "Do you have any ideals?"

Chen Shouyi said, "I don’t have any ideals."

He once wanted to become the best in the world.

Unfortunately, he realized that goal by accident.

The President then asked, "Do you want to work for the High Commission?"

His words were already quite explicit.

It was completely asking, "Do you want power?"

For any rational person in power, politics is about making lots of friends and fewer enemies; if you can’t control them, then absorb them into the system, uniting all possible forces and eliminating all unstable elements.

Great Xia Country couldn’t withstand turmoil.

Today’s situation made it clear to him how terrifying a strong person as powerful as a True God and not restricted by Earth’s Original Force could be. Two legendary figures in Central Asia were killed in the blink of an eye.

It didn’t even show the more terrifying Giant Transformation in the intelligence.

If there was no ambition, that’s fine, but if there was ambition, it would be better to bring him into the system sooner rather than later.

Now isn’t about national survival; he is just an elected President. If it weren’t wartime and his term extended, he would have retired long ago.

Chen Shouyi responded without hesitation, "Not interested."

The President saw him glance at his watch at this time and couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Such a rare opportunity to meet him, who else would act like this?

Only this one.

However, he didn’t mind in the least; instead, he felt relieved and somewhat admired him.

Perhaps only such a pure character could become the strongest human in history, comparable to a Barbarian God.

...

The next morning, Chen Shouyi and Zhang Miaomiao took the helicopter back.

"President Chen, did you meet with the President last night?" Zhang Miaomiao cautiously asked.

Chen Shouyi nodded, "Yes, he invited me to his house for a meal!"

The helicopter immediately wobbled slightly.

Zhang Miaomiao opened her mouth. These people standing on the cloud, how come their words are so... speechless.

Chen Shouyi saw there was no response and looked at her curiously.

Why aren’t you speaking?

He felt somewhat uninterested.

Sigh, really can’t chat, not as good as Qin Liuyuan and Luo Peibin.

Sitting idly was also boring; he simply closed his eyes and entered meditation.

Chen Shouyi drifted in and out of sleep along the way, and when they arrived near Hedong in the afternoon, he found his perception had unexpectedly increased by 0.1 points, reaching 19.7 points, a delightful surprise.

"President... General Manager Chen, can I have another autograph?" Seeing Chen Shouyi awake, Zhang Miaomiao took out her notebook, red with embarrassment, and whispered.

Chen Shouyi paused for a moment.

Is she addicted to signatures?

Now he was in a good mood, took the notebook, glanced at her, and asked, "Still wish you to become more beautiful and youthful?"

Zhang Miaomiao quickly nodded.

Chen Shouyi picked up the pen, signed it swiftly, and handed the notebook to Zhang Miaomiao.

Zhang Miaomiao felt the faint effect this time, vaguely disappointed, and pleaded with folded hands, "President Chen, can you... like last time!"

Chen Shouyi hesitated, "But your body is too weak..."

Last time, she had convulsions.

"It’s... it’s alright, I can handle it!" Zhang Miaomiao’s face was so red she almost steamed as she spoke.

For beauty, she’s really gone mad!

Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

However, if it’s alright...

Well, well!

He concentrated his will, focused his mind, and quickly signed his name.

...

The helicopter slowly landed on the square at the provincial government entrance.

Zhang Miaomiao got off the helicopter, her legs went weak, and she almost sat down on the ground.

Her chest and face were covered in sweat, disheveled hair hanging wet on her face, and her charming peach blossom eyes were moist like pools of spring water.

Looking as if she was almost exhausted!

"Are you alright?" Chen Shouyi kindly asked for a rare occasion.

"President Chen, I... I’m alright, thank you for your autograph, I... I’ll leave now." Zhang Miaomiao said, evading Chen Shouyi’s gaze with a flustered face, then hurriedly dragged her weak body away.

"Really alright?" Chen Shouyi rubbed the fuzz on his chin, wondering with slight concern.

This time he used full force, his strong will transformed into a blessing power, entirely focused on her body.

Her whole body cramped...

Forget it, I won’t think about it.

But as she could walk, she should be fine!

...

In the following days, the hustle and bustle passed.

Chen Shouyi’s life returned to peace, and no one disturbed him again.

He lived regularly every day, spending almost twenty hours on cultivation daily.

His perception and will slowly advanced.

Half a month later.

His perception first reached 19.9 points with difficulty.

After that, like other attributes, it could no longer advance an inch.

Only the most challenging to improve attribute, the will, still remained at 19.2.

But such will was already extremely strong, allowing him to lift three tons of force with his mind, and when flying on Earth, the speed could reach subsonic, surpassing 300 meters per second.

In fact, that’s not all.

For example, when attacking, it’s not just the strength of his fists; there’s also the added will. Three tons of strength means his attack power increased by three tons out of nowhere, and at the same time, the will also added an invisible protection layer to his body, making him immune to extreme heat and freezing cold.

...

Near space.

About hundreds of thousands of meters above the ground.

The air here is extremely thin, gravity is weak, and the sky is pitch black above.

A vast, half-black sphere below revealed a breathtaking outline as the dark earth was slowly invaded by sunlight, rapidly attacking and seizing ground.

The time was approaching dawn.

Chen Shouyi floated in mid-air, surrounded by silence, stars twinkling.

This was his first time reaching such a height and his first time flying near space.

Everything here was stunning.

Looking up at the starry sky, Earth was merely a speck of dust in this vast sea of stars.

He truly felt his insignificance. As strong as a Barbarian God, facing this vast universe, he was also so insignificant.

An hour later, he felt his body begin to feel uncomfortable.

This was already the ionosphere, with no breathable air for living organisms, and staying for an hour without breathing had reached his limit.

He gathered his will and immediately dived down.

The speed kept increasing.

One Mach, two Machs...

This was near space, where the air was thin with little resistance, plus the help of gravity, his speed quickly increased.

Like a meteoric descent.

His body began to emit a faint red glow, and his clothes started to curl. When approaching the atmosphere, his whole body began to burn fiercely, roaring.

Fortunately, the invisible will automatically protected his body, and he did not feel much unbearable heat.

When he approached ten thousand meters above the ground, he controlled his speed to rapidly decelerate, soon breaking away from supersonic. Minutes later, Chen Shouyi landed naked on the outskirts of the Safe Zone.

"This ultimate speed is really thrilling!" Even at this moment, his body was slightly trembling with excitement.

He looked around to ensure no one was nearby.

Quickly took out clothes from his space and swiftly dressed.

Then he walked briskly towards home under the starlight.
