"Going abroad?"
Leina's expression changed instantly, and Du Qiangwei, who was waiting nearby, looked the same.
For no other reason than that putting Wang Ji and the words "going abroad" together immediately made people think of something—he had admitted it himself.
Du Qiangwei could not help speaking up. "Wang Ji, you..."
"I said I'll be back tomorrow," Wang Ji cut her off as if he had expected this. "I'm not leaving the team, and I'm not going to stir up trouble."
His expression was calm and relaxed, and he glanced toward the other side. "Qi Lin is here. I'll definitely come back. I don't think I need to prove anything."
"It's my private business, and I don't want to explain it."
"Besides, if I cause trouble, you'll receive the news soon enough. I can't hide it. Everyone will know it was me."
As he spoke, he looked at Leina and Du Qiangwei before continuing, "This little matter shouldn't require me to submit some kind of application, should it?"
Leina shook her head blankly. "I don't know."
To her, it was enough as long as Wang Ji was not leaving the team. She did not care about anything else, nor was it her place to manage it. She was not an Earthling.
Du Qiangwei, however, opened her mouth with some difficulty. "How about... I ask General Du first?"
Wang Ji gave her a calm look. "Then go ask him. But there are no regulations restricting Super God Academy students from leaving the country. I'm not an active-duty soldier."
"If you want to ask, go ahead. If I'm in a hurry, I'll leave first. At worst, you can intercept me and bring me back."
With that, he walked straight to Qi Lin, took her hand, and gently patted her shoulder. "Sorry, I won't be spending this weekend with you. Have fun with everyone."
"Don't worry about me. Don't listen to their nonsense."
Qi Lin wore a lovely white dress, her glossy black hair tied in a ponytail. She simply hummed and nodded.
After spending some time together, she had begun to understand Wang Ji's personality. He had been independent since childhood, which meant that once he decided on something, he would not easily change his plans.
He was used to deciding everything for himself. Even though they had only just started being together and he cared greatly about her thoughts, when it came to important matters, he would at most consider her advice.
And she did not want to stop him from doing anything. She could see that there were already more than enough people who wanted to stop him.
"Goodbye."
Without saying anything else, he offered a polite farewell and stepped through a wormhole, disappearing from sight.
Only Qi Lin remained, quietly watching in the direction of the school gate. Leina looked somewhat disappointed, while Du Qiangwei wore a troubled expression.
"Hey! Goddess sisters! Are we going shopping or not? What's Lao Wang dawdling for?"
In the distance, Zhao Xin, his hair slicked back until it gleamed, jumped and waved at them.
Du Qiangwei stood there, hesitating and thinking it over again and again. In the end, she raised her fingers to her ear...
"Vehicle detected two kilometers ahead. You are flying too low. Please avoid it."
"Pedestrian detected on the right side of the road four kilometers ahead. Predicting movement trajectory. Please avoid."
"The Hua Xia Sky Eye System has detected increased vehicle traffic on the road ahead. Replanning your guidance route. Please take the field road section."
"You have deviated from the route. Please take the field road section."
"Farmer detected on the right side of the field ahead. Please avoid."
Wang Ji's vision was filled with scenery rapidly rushing backward on both sides. His head was hidden beneath a fuzzy green hood, and his legs moved like spinning wheels.
The gale howled past his ears, yet it did not stop him from hearing the repeated reminders in his mind.
His vision also contained prompts resembling an electronic map: yellow dots shaped like people, green dots for vehicles, and yellow dots of various sizes.
He knew the ones ahead were people and cars.
The ones behind were someone's puppy, kitten, or little birds.
When racing at extreme speed close to the ground, the most important thing was avoiding living creatures and vehicles. It was best to stay far away from them beforehand.
Because if he hit something, he would not die, but everything else would be smashed to pieces.
Just as the navigation system said, he was flying too low.
Fortunately, his body had been defined, so his reaction speed naturally surpassed that of ordinary people. And in areas that were not especially open, he had indeed slowed down somewhat to ensure absolute safety.
What was more remarkable was that even as he sped along, he had never been spotted by any organization, nor could anyone see him at all.
Thirty minutes later.
Like an invisible man, Wang Ji quietly followed the well-dressed passengers onto a flight bound for a foreign land.
Even though he looked like a fuzzy green creature in his own eyes, no one gave the place where he stood so much as an extra glance, as if there were nothing there but air.
"How could I be someone who rides without paying?" Wang Ji shook his head slightly, unable to stop himself from sighing inwardly.
Probably because this was just so convenient...
No registration, no forms to fill out, no procedures to complete in advance, no questions to face. It did not matter if he arrived late; he could simply board the plane in silence.
"The plane's just too slow. If I weren't trying to save effort, Big Brother would've run across the sea."
With a faint sigh, his form suddenly changed.
In his eyes, the surrounding passengers instantly became giants as tall as mountain ranges, towering like heaven and earth.
Their shoes became as enormous as ships. Just their heels were many times taller than Wang Ji.
The patterns on the ground suddenly became uneven and rugged. Wang Ji hopped along, as if crossing one dirt mound and hill after another.
"Once it involves higher-level hacks, the knowledge in De Nuo No. 3 isn't enough. Without the relevant knowledge, algorithms, or formulas, I can't write stronger hacks. Big Brother can't become stronger."
Wang Ji bounced around like a happy little bug before finally clinging to the hem of a young woman's short skirt and entering through the cabin door.
Before long, the plane took off.
"Big Brother's just too softhearted, too softhearted. He carries every problem himself~"
The little green bug happily jumped onto a beautiful young woman's handbag, settling down atop the Louis Vuitton logo while his little legs swung leisurely.
"Actually, if Big Brother really got kept by a goddess sister, maybe he wouldn't need to work so hard. Sigh, sometimes when I think about it, I really don't want to struggle anymore..."
"Third Generation God Body... where am I supposed to get so many materials?"
The little bug sighed helplessly, gave a light hop, landed on the tray table, and lazily lay flat.
"But it's fine. That thing isn't all that useful anyway. No rush."
He lay there lazily. More than ten hours of flight time really was a long time for him now.
"Big Brother wants a Teleportation Hack... Big Brother wants a Flying Hack... Big Brother only wants to protect humanity. What did Big Brother do wrong?"
"What? No record?"
Du Qiangwei asked in astonishment upon hearing Lian Feng's explanation.
On the Juxia, Lian Feng shook her head, her expression somewhat grave. "We intercepted the last flight he could possibly have boarded, but there was no trace of him in any airport entry or exit records, nor in the surveillance footage."
As for contacting him by phone... he had left a message saying he would not turn on his phone while on the plane.
As for dark communications... he simply did not want to be contacted.
They did not suspect that he had gone across the water. Even at full speed, that would take at least three or four hours. There was no reason his body could withstand it, and it would be far too exhausting.
On the tray table, the little bug turned over. He was not sleeping; there was too much in his mind that he needed to digest, and he had plenty to do.
"Big Brother isn't educated, and Big Brother doesn't want to talk. Big Brother picked up his luggage and headed into the distance...
"Why did the things that were originally within Big Brother's reach still set conditions for him?
"Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself..."
