Chapter 34: Even Renting a Plane Is Suffocating?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Professor Qin snapped back to reality after hearing Su Chen’s question.

“Oh, right! Mr. Su, look over there. It’s the yellow one located in the middle.”

Su Chen looked in the direction Professor Qin was pointing.

There was indeed a yellow plane between two larger planes.

The wings of the plane were more than fifteen feet long and less than two inches thick.

There was also a propeller at the front of the plane.

Judging from the appearance of the plane, it looked quite old.

Professor Qin’s assistant ran to the side of the plane to take a look.

It was his first time flying in such a small plane.

He seemed very excited.

One of the staff from the leasing company came over and said, “Professor Qin, the plane you rented has been adjusted. Feel free to go on a test drive.” 

“Okay. Mr. Su, please go ahead.”

Su Chen followed the staff to the interior of the plane without any hesitation. 

The passenger cabin only had two seats, one on the left and one on the right.

As for the cockpit, it also had two seats. One for the pilot and the other for the co-pilot. 

This plane could be operated without a co-pilot. 

Just one pilot would suffice.

Su Chen sat on the pilot’s seat.

He immediately knew what the instruments and buttons were used for, along with the procedures of operating the plane.

All the steps were clear in his mind.

It was as if he had been flying planes for more than ten years.

To SuChen, this felt no different from driving a car.

‘The system did not deceive me.’

Everything related to piloting a plane had been automatically loaded into Su Chen’s brain.

“Mr. Su, this is the pilot from the rental company. He will be your co-pilot for one round. If you have any questions, feel free to ask him. If you pass the evaluation, you can fly this plane.”

The staff member rambled on for quite some time.

Meanwhile, Su Chen was ready for take-off.

Everything was prepared.

Professor Qin was also looking forward to the results.

He waited to see Su Chen’s plane soar up into the skies.

Soon, Su Chen got the approval to set off.

Su Chen skillfully operated the plane.

The rental company’s pilot was even stunned by his abilities.

“Sir, what airline did you work for?”

He asked with a look of admiration on his face.

Su Chen did not answer and just said, “Sit tight. We’re taking off.”

He pulled up the booster rod and accelerated.

The plane flew into the skies.

‘This feels so much better than driving.’

The plane was small, so it was not very visible in the vast sky.

It looked more like a yellow bird.

At first, Su Chen let the plane fly straight up.

After it reached a certain height, he circled around the skies twice.

This was basically a flying stunt.

The co-pilot tightened his grip on the handrail. Clearly, he was extremely nervous.

“Sir, slow down.”

Professor Qin looked overjoyed.

He admired Su Chen’s piloting skills.

‘I’m really lucky to have met him.’

After all, Su Chen was the answer to all of his problems.

“Professor Qin, our boss is looking for you.”

A staff member said to the professor, interrupting his thoughts.

Professor Qin hesitated for a moment before following the staff to his boss’s office.

“Professor Qin, please go in. Boss Bai is waiting for you.”

As the staff member spoke, he gestured for the professor to enter the boss’s office.

Inside the office, there was a fat man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and overalls.

He sat behind a large desk and was waiting for Professor Qin’s arrival.

This man’s figure was a stark contrast to the desk.

Imagine a cuboid with half a ball on it.

Anyway, he deliberately straightened his body once he saw the professor as if he wanted to appear taller.

Alas, it was pointless.

“Boss Bai, what’s the matter? The pilot I’ve found this time is very skilled. Once he lands, we can proceed with the rest as intended.” 

“Professor Qin, don’t worry. I’m not questioning the skills of the pilot you’ve found.”

As the boss spoke, he handed his phone to the professor.

“Professor Qin, take a look at the news on the phone.”

There was an article about the Ramakan Desert.

Actually, it was more of a warning.

Apparently, a major geological disaster would happen there in the near future.

“Professor Qin, if I remember correctly, you’re renting this plane to go to the Ramakan Desert, right? Based on the article, there may be earthquakes happening at that place due to the movement of the Earth’s crust. Hurricanes are also likely to occur. Furthermore, there was a sandstorm yesterday.”

Boss Bai had a pained expression on his face.

He continued, “A friend of mine even said that thousands of poisonous scorpions would appear out of nowhere! The local situation is much more serious than what’s reported on the news! Professor Qin, that place is too dangerous!” said Boss Bai in fear.

“You understand where I’m coming from, right? Forgive me. I won’t be able to rent you the plane. I’ll return the deposit and even double it.”

Boss Bai said firmly.

“If the plane got into an accident due to a natural disaster, the insurance company won’t cover the loss. It’s just not worth it! The risk is too huge for such little earnings.”

What Boss Bai said were facts.

Even Professor Qin was unable to retort.

“Professor Qin, I know you desperately need the plane, but I can’t help you!”

After saying that, Boss Bai sighed.

In the end, he was also losing out on business.

Professor Qin wanted to interrupt and say something. 

However, Boss Bai waved his hand dismissively.

“Xiao Li, refund Professor Qin’s deposit. Double the amount..”
