Chapter 271: Chapter 205: The Last Job
The Thunder Tribulation Cloud, for some unknown reason, reduced its attention on Lin Hao, but its continuously expanding scale caused the entire River Debris City to be engulfed in darkness.
To those who noticed that River Debris City fell into an Extraordinary event, such a celestial phenomenon had an inexplicable warning significance, creating an atmosphere that something unlucky was about to happen.
The Extraordinary sensed the unknown, and the very nature of humans is to fear darkness. The darkness brought by the Thunder Tribulation Cloud seemed to knead fear into every inch of River Debris City.
Occasionally, Thunderbolt flashed, but it couldn’t dispel the feeling of oppression over the city.
However, Lin Hao knew deeply that these celestial phenomena were harmless compared to the unknown Extraordinary Power affecting River Debris City.
The Thunder Tribulation Cloud hung over his head and yet hasn’t struck him into pieces.
As for this condition of dry thunderstorms, the ordinary citizens of River Debris City didn’t care at all.
Only the little fairy-like girls in entertainment places such as bars, clubs, foot bath parlors, and private photo studios started to pack up the panties they left hanging on the balcony.
"What’s up with this weather?"
"Will it affect today’s business?"
"It’s like Spring Thunder in action."
"..."
But, as the Thunder Tribulation Cloud affecting the entire River Debris City’s celestial phenomena continued, just as Lin Hao’s log leaped forward, the sky rapidly shifted from black to pink, and the Thunder Tribulation Cloud above River Debris City was once again hovering above Lin Hao’s head in less than an hour.
The sky was pink and quite beautiful.
Lin Hao looked up at the Thunder Tribulation Cloud, feeling there was a sort of "frustrated" emotion in it.
What a magical cloud.
But Lin Hao somehow felt that the Thunder Tribulation Cloud wanted to strike him even more.
Yet, it seemed it wanted to strike not the current him...
I can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out.
First, you wanted to grow bigger, now you’re shrink yourself, what does this have to do with a simple milk tea shop partner like me?
But I’m about to fly away from River Debris City, once the plane takes off, I’ll be physically closer to the Thunder Tribulation Cloud, in this condition, won’t it just strike me out of nowhere?
Although relying on his Magical Power, taking a hit isn’t much of an issue, but there are others on the plane besides himself.
To eliminate the occurrence of such scenarios, Lin Hao decided to use some "common sense dealings," to reduce the Thunder Tribulation Cloud’s hostility towards him when the plane takes off.

In Lin Hao’s experience, when sending merit to the Thunder Tribulation Cloud, it would usually refuse at first.
But this time, when Lin Hao attempted to shove merit into the Thunder Tribulation Cloud, it went extremely smoothly.
[Thunder Tribulation Cloud: Formalities are many, let’s speed it up]
Lin Hao: ???
Didn’t they say "don’t do this next time"?
Didn’t they say "the Heavenly Dao will audit"?
Why did it just accept, with a look that rejects none?
But when it comes to gift-giving, if you’re willing to accept, there’s no reason not to give.
Although Lin Hao doesn’t know what "merit" can specifically do in this world, for Lin Hao, merit is a renewable resource he can gain through the [Unpredictable Overtime Skill].
Since today the Thunder Tribulation Cloud wants to "speed it up," then give it heavily.

[...]
There’s always a feeling in giving gifts like this of topping off one’s phone bill.
Of course, Lin Hao’s "recharging" behavior didn’t delay him from boarding the Li Family’s private plane, but before the plane took off, Lin Hao pondered a bit, faked a bit, and then opened his suitcase to "pluck" out quite a few milk tea powder bags from a suitcase full of clothes.
Couldn’t just pull out a suitcase worth of milk tea powder bags directly from the handbag, right?
Or that would just be too fake.
Lin Hao’s publicly known superpower is making milk tea, which doesn’t include the rare Space Superpower.
According to Lin Hao’s knowledge, in Valve City, there was someone who, under intense emotions, awakened a powerful Space Superpower. After being recruited, they could fold space, remotely retrieve and deposit items up to dimensions of 20cm*15cm*40cm, contributing immensely to intelligence transmission and deploying high-performance bombs!
And this individual’s codename within Valve City is—
[Stealing Food Hero].
See, a Space Superpower awakened from the desire to steal takeaway for a meal can be put to significant use in the right organizational structure.
And Lin Hao, in the realm of making milk tea, has already attracted a lot of attention, demonstrated adequate power from the perspectives of acquiring wealth, fame, and status.
Not to mention, this time in River Debris City, Lin Hao has already been judged by the River Debris City Management Team as possessing not only the ability to make magical milk tea but also the rare "dual superpowers" including "Telekinesis."
Further exposing the ability to use or make a "Storage Bag" would draw too much attention to Lin Hao.
There’s no need for it.
Absolutely no need.
After leaving enough milk tea powder bags, and after the Li family’s plane underwent necessary checks, they began communicating with the tower about take-off procedures.
"Tower, tower, this is ’Sweet Serenity,’ requesting to take off now."
"’Sweet Serenity,’ hello, a plane originally taking off from this airport just returned for unknown reasons and experienced an air crash. Although there were no casualties, there is considerable danger in flying now, do you wish to proceed?"
Upon receiving this notification, the captain of the private plane hurriedly communicated with Mr. Li and Mr. Li Sr.
After pondering for a moment, Mr. Li Sr. directly said:
"Fly!"
After that, Mr. Li Sr. called everyone in the cabin to sit near him.
Even though flying was dangerous, compared to the Extraordinary event affecting the entire River Debris City, it was still safer to leave.
As for the captain flying the plane up front, having worked for the Li family for so many years and earning so much money, some level of awareness is expected...
"Report to Mr. Li, I have here an ’Smart Black Box·Plane Edition’ bought in Valve City. As long as this black box is fixed on the pilot’s seat, the plane can fully auto-pilot, eliminating the need for my presence in the cockpit!
I bought this black box with my salary!"
As the Li family’s pilot, he had some understanding of the Extraordinary World, and knowing its dangers, he always maintained a sense of self-preservation.
Hence...
The "Smart Black Box·Plane Edition" purchased in Valve City just came in handy!
This version of the "Smart Black Box·Plane Edition" only needs to be placed in the pilot’s seat, where it can take over the entire plane without wiring. After taking control, it flies as smoothly as a pilot with thousands of hours of flight time.
I heard it’s due to Valve City’s latest "Quantum Entanglement Transmission" technology. If it weren’t for the fact that it can only be used once each take-off and landing, the pilot profession would be obsolete!
After listening to the captain’s introduction of the "Smart Black Box·Plane Edition" in his hand, Mr. Li Sr. agreed to use the black box to pilot the plane, whereas Lin Hao had a peculiar expression as he sensed a ghost inside this black box.
[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao perceived the sealing of a mortal soul capable of flying a ship within the Soul Nourishing Wood]
Putting a ghost who can fly planes into a black box then turns it into a "Smart Black Box·Plane Edition"?
Lin Hao knew that Valve City had a strong commercial atmosphere, but he didn’t expect it to be this strong!
Ghosts can be made into commodities and sold?
Before Lin Hao could take a closer look at the black box, the captain, excitedly placed it in the main pilot seat, using duct tape to secure it in place.
Using high technology requires the simplest method. When buying this model, the captain was informed—
Technology is meant to serve the public in the simplest way.
"Xiao Fa, classmate."
"Present."
"Please operate the airplane!"
"Initiating flight control mode, please fasten your seatbelts, Xiao Fa will take over the plane in five minutes."
Lin Hao’s Divine Thought sensed the dim and disoriented ghost fly out from within the black box, and after a short while, its eyes regained clarity.
"So, this is the last job I have after selling my soul?"
