This is a short-range transporter. The amount and distance of the items transported depend on the energy you input. However, the maximum distance it can transport is only about a thousand miles.
That's still quite impressive. But can you actually use your abilities?
Tch, how could such a low-level ability suppressor possibly challenge me?
Wrapped in an invisibility cloak, Lin Yao could sense the overwhelming arrogance radiating from Su Rui.
Well, you really are a bit impressive. Lin Yao casually complimented him, saying, "Now that we're all out, let's take a good stroll!"
After speaking, Lin Yao called over the boy whom Su Rui had deliberately ignored and began moving along the corridor wall.
As the two moved forward, only Su Rui remained behind, exuding a low-pressure aura.
Lin Yao stopped and quietly called out to him, "Su Rui, are you out for a walk?"
Su Rui quickened his pace to catch up but huffed in dissatisfaction. "I clearly knew you first; why did you call him first?"
Are you three years old? Do you really need to fuss over such trivial matters? Besides, if you don’t bring him along to help, do you plan to handle all those troubles by yourself?
Upon hearing her words, Su Rui's displeasure faded away, replaced by a joyful aura. "Alright, I got it. Just wait for me a moment; I’ll construct the entire base building."
With that, Su Rui squatted down on the spot and pulled out a palm-sized device that resembled a holographic computer and began tinkering with it.
The boy following behind watched this scene in amazement and eagerly approached Lin Yao to strike up a conversation. "My name is Tang Zhi. May I ask how to address you?"
Despite being surprised by Tang Zhi's sudden change in attitude, Lin Yao politely replied, "I’m Lin Yao."
I don’t know where Su Rui comes from—cough—what research institute he belongs to?
You might not believe it, but I met him on the road.
Even though she couldn't see his entire expression clearly, Lin Yao could guess from the confusion in Tang Zhi's eyes what he was trying to convey.
Lin Yao didn’t feel like explaining and chose to ignore it.
If you have any other requests, feel free to mention them to Su Rui and see if he has any solutions.
Could you help me book a spot? Tang Zhi was quite direct with his request.
Lin Yao nodded. "Once he’s done, I’ll talk to him."
After fiddling for a while, Su Rui finally produced a three-dimensional map and displayed it in front of Tang Zhi.
"This is the base map; make sure to remember it."
Tang Zhi looked at the detailed map, which even marked the distances, feeling somewhat speechless. "Can't you just send it to my neural interface?"
Su Rui replied with a hint of sarcasm, "What’s wrong with your brain? You can't even remember this little bit and still have to trouble me!"
Since Tang Zhi had to rely on him at this moment, he took a deep breath and politely said, "Then I’ll trouble you."
In just a few moments, Su Rui transferred the map to Tang Zhi's neural interface and quickly activated the transporter, giving Tang Zhi a push inside. In an instant, he vanished from the corridor.
Su Rui's movements were fluid and swift, leaving Lin Yao no time to intervene.
"Finally got rid of that nuisance. You’re not mad at me because of him, are you?"
After sending him off, Su Rui casually remarked, which made Lin Yao roll her eyes internally. "He said he wanted to ask for your help in setting a position."
"Let’s talk about that when we get back. Lin Yao, I’ll take you around this base."
This base seemed to be just a temporary setup. Aside from a few holding cells and rooms for the cargo owners, as well as basic security facilities, there was nothing else of note.
Especially under Su Rui's advanced technology, those security measures were hardly impressive.
After wandering around for a bit, Su Rui began complaining about his boredom. There was nothing worth seeing in the entire base.
"If it’s so boring here, why didn’t you escape back on the starship?"
"I thought that modified starship looked interesting and wanted to see if it would fall apart halfway through. Later on, I saw you didn’t escape either, so I figured I might as well join in the fun. I originally thought I might stumble upon some illegal research base; who knew it would just be a temporary human trafficking hub?"
Lin Yao felt speechless at his assessment.
"If you're so bored, why not just leave now? With your abilities, you should be able to run away anytime."
"I did want to run at first, but then I saw Tang Zhi and got interested again. I want to see what happens next."
Lin Yao realized that her moments of speechlessness in front of this young man probably exceeded those of an entire year.
Since Su Rui didn’t want to return, they spent a day on this barren planet with nothing but yellow sand. They even hunted a few low-level beasts before Lin Yao finally grew tired of it.
"This desolate planet is too barren; there aren’t even any low-level beasts around. No wonder it’s classified as a wasteland by Yunmeng Star."
"If you want to speed things up a bit, why not go back and help Tang Zhi set a position? You could also guide the route so his people can arrive faster."
"No way; who knows how long that will take?"
"Most importantly, I've already been tricked this time. If I waste any more time here, it’ll delay my chance to make money."
"Fine then, I'll set a position for Tang Zhi when I get back."
Su Rui's skills were remarkable; he completed the positioning and route planning in just a few minutes. Lin Yao watched, unable to hold back her envious tears. As someone who had lived again, it seemed that aside from her combat experience, she was utterly lacking in other abilities. In contrast, this young man, Su Rui, not only possessed exceptional skills but also appeared quite wealthy.
She recalled how Su Rui had said that he would stay with her since she hadn’t escaped. Was she not escaping? It wasn’t that she didn’t want to; it was that she simply couldn’t! When the modified starship was flying through space, it would have been easy to escape, but she lacked the survival skills and tools for space. Once they reached the desolate planet, she wanted to flee but had just discovered something unusual about Tang Zhi. She was worried that her actions might implicate him, so she hesitated and ended up stuck there.
Fortunately, with Su Rui's route and navigation assistance, on the afternoon of the third day after their capture, Tang Zhi quietly notified them to prepare for their departure. However, the unexpected turn of events came even sooner than their reinforcements.
That evening, someone opened the prison doors and began selecting individuals from within. Lin Yao found it strange—how could their opponents arrive first? Su Rui also hadn’t anticipated this situation and quickly began reviewing the listening records from his small spider device. It turned out that the person who came wasn’t the originally designated receiver but rather a relative of the buyer who happened to be passing by and insisted on coming to collect the goods. It was said that this person had a notorious reputation for being a lecher, particularly fond of pure young boys and girls around their teenage years!
Looking at those being selected, all of them were exceptionally good-looking youths. Tang Zhi couldn’t help but feel anxious. What should they do? Their people wouldn’t arrive until tomorrow. These young individuals all had considerable talent; what would happen if they were mistreated?
