“We can talk as we walk, this way you might better understand what I mean.”
Jikesu was obviously a bit excited by Ye Zhongming's agreement. For someone of his status, personally recruiting a lowly individual was already an unprecedented occurrence, and now he was even going to show Ye Zhongming around the headquarters.
As one of the most important figures in the Star Eye Clan, one can only imagine how secure and luxurious the elder's office was. Although the final answer was still unknown, the answer was right in front of them, which made Ye Zhongming feel reassured and focused on the room they were about to leave.
The only feeling Ye Zhongming had was a sense of advanced technology.
Everywhere he looked, there were structures and equipment he had never seen before. It felt like a technology that surpassed Earth's current capabilities by who knows how many years.
Earlier, Jikesu had mentioned that it was the one controlling the roulette who brought the All Races of the Universe into the starry sky. Could it be that this technology also originated from the roulette?
If that was the case, if Earth was to gain the status of the All Races, would they also possess such capabilities in the future?
The answer was unknown, but Ye Zhongming felt a thrilling anticipation.
Arriving at the entrance, Jikesu took out two spherical objects from a beautifully designed recess next to the door, handing one to Ye Zhongming and keeping one for himself.
“Tap the intersection of the patterns on it, and inject a small amount of energy.”
Following the elder's instructions, Ye Zhongming tapped the spherical object, and it immediately transformed. Under Jikesu's calm gaze, he restrained himself from moving as the sphere morphed into flowing liquid metal, quickly enveloping the area beneath Ye Zhongming's knees, including his feet.
What is this...?
Seeing Ye Zhongming's awkwardness, Jikesu laughed heartily, but it was not unpleasant.
“This is an auxiliary mobile vehicle. Give it a try; you’ll get used to it quickly.”
The elder also activated his spherical object, which likewise transformed into liquid metal. Once enveloped, a palm-sized light barrier was projected from above, and with a casual tap, the auxiliary mobile vehicle emitted a slight vibration, moving forward with the elder at a speed that quickly reached at least forty to fifty kilometers per hour.
This was naturally incomparable to an evolver sprinting at full speed, but it consumed much less energy. The light barrier allowed for speed and elevation adjustments, indicating that this device could be used not only in such a modern headquarters but also in various terrains in the wild, reaching heights of over a hundred meters and speeds exceeding three hundred kilometers per hour.
Comparable to high-speed trains! Ye Zhongming marveled inwardly.
In addition, the auxiliary mobile vehicle came equipped with navigation features. Once a destination was set, it could move autonomously toward it, allowing the user to utilize other functions during the journey, such as recording items, watching programs, even working or resting.
The two floated about ten centimeters above the ground, traversing through the underground palace.
“The reason I say not to rush is that your home planet has a somewhat unique situation. Of course, it isn’t the only one; there are always certain planets that encounter this situation.”
Under Jikesu's control, the auxiliary mobile vehicle displayed a light barrier in front of them. Ye Zhongming discovered that this light barrier could not only be used for control but also shield the user from the wind resistance encountered during movement.
“Do you see anything?”
Jikesu asked Ye Zhongming.
At this point, the King of Cloud Summit was no longer as excited as before. Upon calming down, he noticed that the slave race encasing Earth seemed... weak?
The earlier 'fence' that Jikesu had shown Ye Zhongming was quite robust. For such a large planet, it was basically wrapped with no more than twenty broad structures. If that planet were as large as Earth, then each one would be as wide as half of China.
