Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 894 - 893: Behind the Times

At that time, Jiang Cheng, who was eager to leave, did not realize how much change his words would bring to his future life.

Jiang Cheng is an invincible, exceptionally powerful individual, whether on the Water Ball or within the universe's domain. Anyone who knows him or knows of him, whether friends or enemies, must admit that Jiang Cheng is indeed an unbeatable presence.

However, in this world, there is no omniscient, omnipotent person. While Jiang Cheng can travel freely across the universe with his strength, he is still just a person, albeit a super-powerful one!

He is not a prophet and cannot know what will happen in the future.

Therefore, after making a promise to a girl named Yumi and refusing the request of this girl to join him in cosmic adventures, he started to move to the next planet. From the mind of Charles I, the ruler of Aix Planet, he extracted some useful information, including that in the conflict led by Akse Planet, Aix Planet and three other vassal planets were involved. To break this alliance against the Water Ball, he planned to head to the next planet.

Sek Planet.

After saying goodbye to the little station girl as he prepared to head to Hanke Planet, Jiang Cheng's figure gradually faded away. A few seconds later, he left Aix Planet.

There was nothing left here to worry him.

The ruler of Wenx Planet, Charles I, had solemnly promised Jiang Cheng that he would withdraw from the conflict led by Akse Planet and that he would absolutely not initiate any actions against the Water Ball.

Even though Charles I could be deemed a cunning fox, Jiang Cheng confidently believed himself to be the hunter.

The fox cannot outsmart the hunter, and Charles I is no match for Jiang Cheng.

Before departing, he indeed selected some individuals from among the Aix Star People whom he believed met his requirements, tasking them with secretly observing Charles I's actions. If Charles I violated his stipulations, they would notify Jiang Cheng, who would then head to Aix Planet to "correct" the mistakes of its ruler, Charles I.

Of course, the cost for Charles I to correct his mistakes would be quite significant.

In the universe, Jiang Cheng can entirely rely on his personal ability to travel between planets freely, without the need for any transportation devices like spaceships.

When we play with a rope, we hold one end in our hand, and with a strong shake, though the part we hold only moves momentarily and is then held still, we can see that from one end to the middle and the tip of the rope, it continues moving along a trajectory.

This is called oscillation.

When Jiang Cheng is ready to move freely among the planets in the universe, his body employs this theory. Of course, this is only part of it, with other factors involved, but undoubtedly, this theory is a key factor enabling him to travel freely among the universe's planets.

Jiang Cheng's body gradually disappeared from Aix Planet, and the next moment he appeared on Sek Planet.

Sek Planet is also a small planet.

Just as Jiang Cheng emerged on a small hill on Sek Planet, he noticed a small group of people running towards him.

What a coincidence? Jiang Shu watched those people coming closer and closer.

Their faces were filled with panic and even more hopelessness.

They were running desperately, with some falling over in the process, but getting up quickly to run even faster.

Jiang Cheng quickly discerned that these people had encountered some dangerous situation, as their running was filled with a sense of urgency to escape.

They noticed Jiang Cheng standing not far ahead, and among them, some were waving towards him while shouting something as they ran.

When they ran past Jiang Cheng, one of them even reached out, trying to pull Jiang Cheng along, and judging by the anxious expression on his face, Jiang Cheng was sure he wasn't joking.

Jiang Cheng grabbed that person and asked in universal language, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that he was being held, that person's expression became even more anxious and desperate, waving his hands while speaking faster and more urgently, but Jiang Cheng couldn't understand a word.

Though Jiang Cheng had traveled to many planets in the universe and could speak many local languages, he couldn't possibly be well-versed in every local dialect.

And the person he grabbed was indeed speaking in a dialect.

The more incomprehensible he was, the less Jiang Cheng let him go. Seeing Jiang Cheng not letting him go made the person even more frantic, rendering his words even more unintelligible.

Finally, with his head in his hands, he exclaimed in universal language, "We're doomed!"

Moments later, Jiang Cheng understood the reason for their desperate running.

A cosmic transport landed not far from them, the model of which had been eliminated decades ago due to inconvenience, with the ones produced given to relatively backward planets.

Sek Planet certainly belonged to the backward category.

A few people exited the transport, and upon seeing them, Jiang Cheng quickly assessed their appearance; they were bandits!

Despite their ragged clothing, it was still apparent that they wore uniforms of the same style, holding weapons of various shapes, with one fellow's arm bandaged, oozing blood from an open wound.

Deserters from the gladiator arena would be incredibly vicious because they had been through life and death in the arena. Having survived there was akin to possessing a new life, and lacking restraint only made them more brutal. If they left the army, it meant the orders couldn't control them anymore, nor could the local laws, as they were still technically soldiers. These lawless deserters wrought more havoc than bandits, committing tales of robbery and murder even more abhorrent than robbers.

The menacing figures approached, and upon seeing Jiang Cheng, who was dressed markedly different from them, they paused, clearly realizing Jiang Cheng was not their intended target. However, with weapons in their hands and greater numbers, they did not regard Jiang Cheng as a threat. One of the bandits jabbered something at Jiang Fei in the same language, and Jiang Shu raised his hands, indicating he didn't understand.

The man desperately fleeing was not as lucky as Jiang Cheng; he was knocked to the ground with a gun stock, and blood flowed from his head. Those fierce deserters surrounded him, their tone while speaking laced with intensity, indicating they were hurling insults. The beaten man rolled on the ground, clutching his head as the bandits laughed and beat him even harder.
