Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1236 - 1205: Eaten by the Melon

The restored tactical jet isn't the same one as before; it's the latest version.

This kind of on-the-spot upgrade technical work can only be done by Chen Fei. If it were anyone else, even another Metal Ability User with metal evolution and processing powers, they wouldn't be able to do it.

Ding Xiu and Sun Ruzheng, both Sky Knights, noticed something unusual about this tactical jet right away. It seemed a bit different from just a moment ago. This is the kind of intuition only true professionals would have.

"What's the big deal!"

The bratty little brother looked disgruntled, lying on the ground refusing to get up.

"You know absolutely nothing about real war; you've always been just a little brother."

Chen Fei extended his hand to Chen Shan, who was still sitting on the ground.

"As if you've really been in a war!"

Chen Shan was still unconvinced but grabbed Chen Fei's hand and used it to stand up from the ground.

The two brothers bickering had become a common occurrence.

Ding Xiu looked at the Chen brothers and sighed, "Chen Shan, your brother isn't wrong!"

Even though he passed the Sky Knight's trial, Chen Shan still wasn't qualified to call himself a Sky Knight.

The trial only meant he had the potential, but there was still a long way to go.

"Chen Fei participated in corporate wars among military contractors and in the 'Abyssal Gladiatorial'."

As a neighbor of the 911 Aircrew Base and later an employee of the Northern Weapons Industry Group, Shen Fei had the most to say about it.

"Eh?"

Chen Shan looked at Chen Fei incredulously. The real clown is me?

Can an economics undergraduate have such a rich work history after joining a company?

"Poor kid!"

Chen Fei patted Little Shanzi on the head, looking benevolent.

With the kid's current level, if he went to the battlefield, he'd be nothing more than cannon fodder in a war of attrition against the 'Sagali' civilization's space biological combat weapons.

If it weren't for Chen Fei being a one-man army, Chen Shan might have already been at the frontline defending Blue Star against the 'Sagali' civilization's massive army, instead of bickering leisurely here.

"Go, go, go, I'm not a kid."

Chen Shan irritably brushed off Chen Fei's hand but was still a step too slow, showing full disdain.

"Without a girlfriend, what kind of adult are you!"

Chen Fei sidestepped and appeared next to Teacher Shen, ready with some relationship teasing. Little brother, will you take it or not?

"Ahem, that's enough."

Ding Xiu stood to the side, pretending to let out a few coughs.

"Oh! Sorry, sorry!"

Seeing Old Ding and Old Sun's evasive looks, Chen Fei suddenly realized he had innocently hurt others. The single dogs on the scene weren't just Little Shanzi; these two were... unspeakable, unspeakable.

Realizing this, Chen Fei quickly smoothed things over, halting the romantic teasing.

"Now, let's get down to business!"

"Hmm?"

Ding Xiu's expression became serious. He had heard a bit about the recent happenings at the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee Headquarters.

Even though there were only a few people around Chen Fei, the forces and resources involved could rival a small sovereign state, which was necessary to directly confront the 'Sagali' civilization. As a former resident of 'Atlantis,' he had observed grand-scale interstellar wars, with battlefields stretching across several planetary arrays, colossal void beasts spanning the starry skies, and countless monsters descending like clouds, battling to the death with steel-constructed war machines, with numerous combat units turning to dust in a short time.

If it weren't for Chen Fei being a one-man army, along with the central coordination of the war AI 'Adam,' Blue Star would likely have paid a heavy price to withstand the 'Sagali' civilization's interstellar army invasion.

"Little Shanzi, come on. Your big brother has a big scoop for you, a big one!"

Chen Fei waved at Chen Shan. Just now, with all the disruption, he almost forgot about the serious business.

"What's the big scoop?"

Chen Shan stepped closer, puzzled.

Bang!

A fruit, more than a meter tall, appeared beside him, missing him by inches.

"What the hell, what is this thing?"

Chen Shan jumped sideways in fright but before landing, the huge green fruit suddenly cracked open a two-foot-wide gap, releasing dozens of pale tentacles that wrapped around him and pulled him inside.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

It wasn't just Chen Shan who was scared; the two Sky Knights were too.

What the heck, wasn't he supposed to be eating melon? How did he get eaten by the melon!

"Chen Shan, he?"

Shen Fei grabbed onto Chen Fei in fright.

Chen Fei patted his girlfriend's hand and said, "Don't worry! This is a good thing."

The fruit this time was an upgraded version. Initially, it was used by big-shot Louis Landon, requiring manual peeling. Then it was for Mouri Misono, with automatic peeling. Now, for Chen Shan, it not only peeled automatically but also proactively grabbed people in, particularly suitable for "swallowing people" in bulk.

Luckily, it's in the hands of Chen Fei. If it were in the 'Sagali' civilization, this kind of fruit wouldn't nurture but devour people.

"What on earth is this thing? Is Chen Shan okay?"

Ding Xiu watched cautiously, afraid he would get dragged in by those tentacles too.

"This is called a SPA fruit. In no more than 15 minutes, the effects will be immediate."

Chen Fei gave this fruit a completely unrelated name.

SPA is SPA, but the restoration effect of this fruit is astonishing. The traditional SPA would be utterly ashamed.

Mr. Landon had once expressed to Chen Fei the desire to use it more, even considering replacing sleep with it, but he was refused.

This fruit can indeed replace sleep, but it's overkill, like using a dragon-slaying sword to kill a chicken, squandering its true efficacy.

Even Chen Fei himself hadn't used this fruit, despite it having no side effects.

"There's no danger, is there?"

Sun Ruzheng boldly approached the fruit. After Chen Shan was pulled in, there was no sound at all.

"This is a good thing; how could there be any danger? It's a complete body restoration, healing ailments, strengthening if healthy, regenerating lost limbs, fully restoring old and hidden injuries, directly affecting DNA base pairs, even curing hereditary diseases. Only longevity isn't possible. Want to try it? It's free."

Chen Fei praised the fruit confidently.

"Can it beautify? Repair dark circles and acne and such?"

Teacher Shen Fei tightened her grip on Chen Fei's hand. After several days of overtime, unavoidable dark circles had formed, and she was fretting over how to get rid of them!

Dark circles, when accumulated for long, can turn into irreversible eye bags. Everyone has a love for beauty, and Shen Fei couldn't possibly allow dark circles to evolve into eye bags, that would be terrifying.

"Uh! That's hardly a problem!"

Chen Fei was nearly speechless. Even without the SPA fruit, current skincare products could eliminate dark circles and acne. It just required consistent and long-term use, and naturally, the shorter the time and the more effective it is, the more expensive it is. Merchants wouldn't miss squeezing every Star Yuan.

"I want to try it too!"

Shen Fei was also bold, relying on the trust that Chen Fei wouldn't harm her.

"No problem!"

Chen Fei tossed out another SPA fruit.

This thing is truly large, needing to be to fit an adult.

This time, it didn't autonomously close and grab. Instead, it kept the crack open, with the tentacles forming a seat to invite Teacher Shen in.
