Three minutes passed quickly, and under the guidance of the sailors and Luo Shu, everyone boarded the large cruise ship at the dock one after another.
Once aboard the cruise ship, it slowly set sail. Luo Shu began using a megaphone to assign cabins to each passenger. Gao Jianfei was clearly given special treatment, given a private cabin. Luo Linlin was also given a private cabin, right next to Gao Jianfei's. The cruise ship began to accelerate, and since it was late, Luo Linlin, mindful of her surroundings, didn't come over to Gao Jianfei's cabin. Gao Jianfei lay alone in his cabin, his hand behind his head, legs crossed, in a very pleasant mood. At that moment, the intelligent program's voice softly sounded in Gao Jianfei's ear. "Darling, congratulations on successfully embarking on your journey to the North Pole of Dragon Planet. We hope everything goes as you analyzed, and you find the orange ore in the Arctic!"
“Yes. I hope so too. I’ve already spent two days on Dragon Ball, and I have five days left. According to Luo Shu, the cruise ship will take two days to reach the Arctic. That means I only have three days to search for orange ore in the Arctic. So, once we enter the Arctic, you should carefully sense the presence of orange ore.” Gao Jianfei instructed the intelligent program.
"Yes, darling, don't worry. I've used orange ore before, so I know its molecular structure inside and out. As long as it's within a kilometer of me, I can sense it clearly!" the intelligent program said confidently.
"Alright, then it's all up to you! I also hope my judgment won't be flawed. Exploring the Arctic on Dragon Planet will basically take up all the days I'm staying on Dragon Planet this time. I hope I won't come away empty-handed. I also hope that when I return to Earth, I can bring back enough orange ore to destroy the space tunnels that the alien invaders have built on Earth!" Gao Jianfei's eyes were full of anticipation.
The next two days of sailing were not boring for Gao Jianfei. Luo Linlin visited him every day, chatting and eating with him. Her love for Gao Jianfei became increasingly clear, and even some sailors who knew Luo Linlin noticed the connection and would occasionally joke with her. Behind Gao Jianfei's back, the sailors often referred to him as Luo Linlin's boyfriend… To this, Luo Linlin was both annoyed and secretly delighted.
However, Gao Jianfei simply ignored all of this. Without offending or hurting Luo Linlin, he absolutely refused to discuss anything related to their relationship. In the evenings, when Luo Linlin was engrossed in playing in Gao Jianfei's room and forgot to return to her own room, Gao Jianfei would proactively remind her and escort her back.
However, women in love are often blinded by their own emotions. Luo Linlin failed to see Gao Jianfei's intention to treat her merely as a friend. She plunged headlong into the tangled web of her own naive love, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself. Two days later.
"Jianfei! We're here!" Luo Linlin jumped around happily on the deck, pulling Gao Jianfei along and pointing to the endless glacier ahead!
Hundreds of meters away, a vast expanse of white appeared, with numerous glaciers and floating ice blocks. A chill swept over us!
"Wow! This is the Arctic!" exclaimed the fellow travelers.
Although the Arctic is very desolate, sparsely populated, and has no outstanding landscapes except for icebergs, it still gives people a sense of grandeur and magnificence.
"Alright everyone, we're about to enter the Arctic! In the Arctic, we'll see some huge icebergs, and green plants that can still grow tenaciously in the cold climate! Well, although the scenery in the Arctic can't compare to those famous mountains and rivers, if you pay attention, you can still discover the beauty and grandeur of the Arctic!" Luo Shu began to make some bold remarks, stirring up everyone's enthusiasm.
The cruise ship entered the Arctic. Now, the ship's speed began to slow down, and passengers on deck were constantly taking photos.
For safety reasons, the cruise ship travels at a very slow speed, and Luo Shu does not allow passengers to disembark and play on the ice.
"Too slow," Gao Jianfei thought anxiously. At this rate, it would probably take several days to reach the true depths of the Arctic. And Gao Jianfei believed that if the orange ore was indeed in the Arctic, then there was a very high probability that it was indeed deep within the Arctic!
However, a day trip cannot guarantee that the cruise ship will reach the depths of the Arctic and traverse the entire Arctic. In fact, the cruise route does not include the deep Arctic region. After all, the harsh climate of the deep Arctic is a formidable challenge. Even professional Arctic researchers like Luo Shu do not have the courage or confidence to venture into the Arctic depths.
In this case, if Gao Jianfei simply follows the cruise ship, it will be difficult for him to achieve his goals! Gao Jianfei wants to traverse the entire Arctic as quickly as possible!
"I have no choice but to act alone," Gao Jianfei decided.
During the day, Gao Jianfei did not show any abnormality. He chatted with Luo Linlin about everything, including things related to or unrelated to the Arctic.
When night fell, Gao Jianfei finally took action!
He was going to leave the cruise ship alone and head as fast as he could into the depths of the Arctic!
Of course, the cruise ship also had small boats such as lifeboats, but Gao Jianfei didn't intend to use them. He directly enhanced the white whale in the special space of the Ghost Nest, making its speed several times faster than before!
Back in the Arctic, Gao Jianfei had captured several incredibly fast whales to use as transportation. These genetically enhanced beluga whales darted through the water like birds in flight, their speed astonishing!
Once the ship anchored at the shore of an iceberg, Gao Jianfei secretly left his room, locked the door from the inside, and then jumped directly into the glacier!
The next moment, the white whale was summoned by Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei, sitting atop the beluga whale, gave it a direct command: "Move forward at top speed!"
"Yes, esteemed Xiao Gao!" the white whale respectfully accepted the order. Then, it charged forward with all its might, like a white lightning bolt, advancing unimpeded underwater!
Gao Jianfei sat steadily on the beluga whale's back and said to the intelligent program, "Alright, our journey begins! Be careful! I've always had a feeling that the orange ore should be deep in the Arctic!"
"Don't worry, darling. I also hope you find the orange ore soon," the AI program said with a smile.
Of course, there are some issues with Gao Jianfei sailing alone like this. If he doesn't return to the cruise ship by tomorrow morning, he will definitely be discovered by Luo Linlin, who has been sticking to him all along! At that time, things will be a bit difficult to explain.
Okay, Gao Jianfei still has plenty of time.
The Arctic night is short, and it will be more than ten hours before dawn. Gao Jianfei can use these ten or so hours to search carefully.
As they raced forward, Gao Jianfei frequently asked the AI program, "Have you sensed the orange ore yet?"
However, the answers I received were all... "Honey, not yet, don't be in such a hurry."
Five hours had passed, and they had already penetrated thousands of kilometers into the Arctic. Gao Jianfei finally felt a slight sense of disappointment… “Could it be that my judgment was wrong? That orange ore isn’t actually from the Arctic?”
Just then… “Found it! Darling, I’ve found orange ore! It’s amazing! It’s that familiar and powerful energy! Found it! To be precise, it’s still several kilometers away! Quick! Hurry! It’s just ahead!” Suddenly! The AI’s voice was almost a scream. “And it’s lots and lots of orange ore, more than the batch you gave me to modify the Ghost Instrument last time!”
"Ah? I found it? And a lot of it? That's fantastic!" Gao Jianfei's mood soared from rock bottom to the peak! He was trembling with excitement! "I finally found orange ore! Hahaha! Earth is saved! I can also gain hundreds of millions of experience points! This is simply amazing!"
Forcibly suppressing his inner elation, Gao Jianfei spurred the white whale forward, galloping for dozens of kilometers. At that moment, the intelligent program cried out in alarm, "We've arrived! Darling, you are now [first published on Baidu Tieba] in an area densely covered with orange ore!"
"Alright!" Gao Jianfei shouted, raising his arm to command the beluga whale. "Surface and take a look!"
Chapter 612 Orange Ore Acquired
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gao Jianfei followed the research team to the North Pole of Dragon Ball. He then released a fast-moving Arctic dragon into the water and searched for several hours before finally finding the orange ore as he had hoped!
The intelligent program delivered the good news to Gao Jianfei in a cheerful voice! Gao Jianfei felt an overwhelming surge of excitement! This was the most exciting moment of his life! And also the most fulfilling one!
I gained hundreds of millions of experience points out of thin air! And I also obtained the raw materials to destroy the space tunnel to Beast King Star!
Gao Jianfei immediately ordered the beluga whale to surface and begin searching. However, after searching the surface extensively, Gao Jianfei only found seemingly endless blocks of ice reflecting white light under the moonlight! They were icy cold, without a trace of orange luster. It should be known that the natural orange glow emitted by orange ore is a magnificent and noble light, which cannot be obscured even by the thickest ice layers within a frozen glacier! Gao Jianfei searched the vicinity extensively but found no orange ore. Just then, the intelligent program reminded him, "Darling, why don't you look underwater?"
"That's it! Underwater!" Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers.
In an instant, his mind processed a multitude of thoughts. According to the intelligent program's detection, this area contained a vast quantity of orange ore, several times more than the orange ore he had found in his own holy lair in Indonesia. Such a large amount of orange ore, if found on land, would undoubtedly emit a magical luster, attracting the attention of scientific expeditions and even governments of some countries on Dragon Ball. In that case, the orange ore would have already been mined! Therefore, the possibility of orange ore being found on land is extremely slim! Just as the intelligent program was analyzing, the orange ore is highly likely hidden deep underwater, undiscovered by the people of Dragon Ball for thousands of years!
Gao Jianfei did not hesitate
The beluga whale, propelled by the straight-toothed man, plunged into the water, diving straight down. Gao Jianfei, a skilled swimmer with strong internal energy, could effortlessly plummet straight down the water. He continued to fall, falling, quickly...
Gao Jianfei plunged hundreds of meters into the water! He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The water here is so deep! It seems I've only reached a very shallow part of the bottom! It looks like the orange ore is still hidden quite deep!"
Continue descending!
When he reached a depth of over 1000 meters, Gao Jianfei felt an immense pressure on every cell in his body! It seemed the pressure of the deep water was causing him trouble. However, he had no possibility of retreating.
Moreover, he grew increasingly excited because he could see a faint orange glow emanating from the bottom of the water! It was breathtakingly beautiful!
"Goodness, it dives thousands of meters underwater."
Only then could one vaguely see the orange ore radiating light, which was enough to show that if it weren't for me, the orange ore on the Dragon Ball might not have been discovered even after hundreds or thousands of years! Gao Jianfei secretly exclaimed with relief, held his breath, and circulated his internal energy throughout his body. Although his body was very cold, a burning sensation permeated his internal organs and dantian, making Gao Jianfei feel comfortable and wonderful all over. And the water pressure, even for the powerful Gao Jianfei, could not stop him from discovering the orange ore.
Soon, Gao Jianfei dived to a depth of nearly 2,000 meters. The beluga whale could no longer withstand the water pressure and was taken into Gao Jianfei's den.
Gao Jianfei looked up and his entire field of vision was completely filled with a beautiful expanse of yellow and orange color!
Orange ore!
An orange ore deposit, roughly the size of six professional football fields, lies quietly on the bottom of a body over two thousand meters deep, transforming this vast underwater area into something resembling a palace! A veritable underwater dragon palace!
So beautiful! So dazzling!
"Congratulations, my dear, you have finally found the orange ore on Dragon Ball! Now, please put these orange ores into Ghost Nest!" the AI program said to Gao Jianfei in a cloyingly sweet voice.
"Great! Excellent! The orange ore found here is six or seven times more than what I found on Earth! Hahahaha!" A hysterical, unrestrained laugh erupted from Gao Jianfei's heart. Then, without stopping, he retrieved his sharp knife from the ghost's lair and rushed over to slice the orange ore into pieces, sending them into the ghost's lair. Gao Jianfei's knife was swift, and since orange ore isn't very dense or hard, he didn't expend much effort to send a large quantity of orange ore into the ghost's lair.
It took Gao Jianfei a full six or seven hours to deliver all the orange ore here to the Ghost Den. He also checked the surrounding area to make sure there wasn't a single bit of extra orange ore left before entering the Ghost Den.
"Darling, you did it!" As soon as Gao Jianfei entered the haunted house, the intelligent program rushed over and gave him a warm congratulatory hug.
It was a close, skin-to-skin embrace. Gao Jianfei was soaked to the bone; time had even dampened the AI program's gossamer-thin clothes. Gao Jianfei laughed and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, be a little more ladylike! Haha! Okay, stop fooling around, my clothes are all wet now. I'm going to take a shower and have a cup of coffee first."
I'm quite tired, haha. Although I'm physically exhausted, my joy is unparalleled.
However, when Gao Jianfei released the smart program's embrace, he found that the program's thin clothes were completely soaked from the hug, clinging to her tender and beautiful skin, completely exposing all the spring scenery beneath the clothes to Gao Jianfei's eyes.
"Huh? You..."
"...You're not wearing anything underneath?" Gao Jianfei exclaimed in surprise.
The intelligent program smiled charmingly and said, "Yes, darling, I am your private property, and this is your exclusive super ghost-swinging device. Only you can freely enter and exit here, so... I don't need to wear too much, what do you say? If you want, I can even go without wearing outer clothes in the future."
Looking at the infinitely beautiful body of the intelligent program, Gao Jianfei felt an urge to have a nosebleed; he was already experiencing some primal male instincts.
The intelligent program covered its mouth and smiled, exuding charm. "Darling, my clothes are wet too, and I feel uncomfortable. Let's take a shower together."
Gao Jianfei was no saint, and under these circumstances, he neither wanted to nor bothered to stop the "evil" suggestion from the intelligent program.
So, in a fragrant bathroom, the intelligent program served Gao Jianfei as he bathed. Through the hazy steam, he saw the intelligent program's smooth, creamy skin, and then let it apply shower gel to his body.
The intelligent program slowly crouched down, glancing at Gao Jianfei with an extremely seductive gaze.
Then, Gao Jianfei felt his primal part being completely enveloped by a tight and warm sensation.
After taking a shower and doing some exercise, Gao Jianfei gently put his arm around the smart program's slender waist and left the shower. Gao Jianfei laughed, "This is ridiculous. I didn't expect you to still be so..."
..."
The intelligent program simply giggled without making a sound. Moreover, even its pretty face was tinged with a very human-like shyness.
Based on his own experience, Gao Jianfei felt that the intelligent program was completely like a person! The tightness, the warmth, and the bloodstains afterward all proved that he was having sex with a real woman, not a cold machine.
The two sat on the sofa, and Gao Jianfei lit a cigarette and began to smoke. Then he carefully examined his earnings from the day.
...Inside the ghost den, there was a pile of orange ore the size of a standard football field!
Those orange ores also transformed Gao Jianfei's ghost den into an imperial palace!
Absolutely beautiful.
“My alien friends told me that destroying the three spatial portals doesn’t require this much orange ore. Therefore, I can use the remaining orange ore to do things I want to do. For example, continue modifying the Super Ghost Rig, and train a group of enhanced ability users!”
A smile appeared on Gao Jianfei's lips.
At this moment, the intelligent program glanced at Gao Jianfei with a charming smile and said sweetly, "Darling, I forgot to tell you, since you've already brought the orange ore from the empty sphere into the ghost's lair, you've completed the task I assigned you and gained 500 million experience points! Now, adding to the experience points you've accumulated before, you have less than 300 million experience points left to advance to a level 7 exorcist! In other words, as long as you kill the level 7 exorcist Shen Bing, you'll be able to obtain the experience needed to advance to a level 7 exorcist!"
After a pause, the AI program added, "Furthermore, there isn't a single trace of orange ore left on this dragon ball! In other words, you've obtained all the orange ore on the dragon ball! Congratulations, my dear."
Upon learning that he had drained the entire Dragon Ball's experience points, Gao Jianfei felt a strange surge of joy.
...Now, those exorcists on Dragon Sphere can no longer find the energy source to upgrade their Super Ghost Device! Haha, they'll never have software as advanced as my Super Ghost Device in their entire lives! Haha!
"Darling, do you need to rush back to Hengnuo Kingdom to kill Shen Bing, who is of a higher level?" the AI program asked. "Kill Shen Bing, and I'll level up!"
“Oh…” Gao Jianfei frowned and thought for a moment. “Kill Shen Bing? Now, I’ve left the Arctic and returned to Hengnuo for about seven days. I’ve already used up all my time on Dragon Planet… I don’t want to rush into assassinating Shen Bing. Anyway, I’ll have plenty of opportunities to teleport back to Dragon Planet later. Therefore, any attempt to kill Shen Bing is temporarily on hold. What I need to do is return to Earth immediately! Find my alien friends to build the weapon to destroy the space portal! And drive away those damned aliens!”
Gao Jianfei said with a firm gaze.
Chapter 613 Return to Earth
What Gao Jianfei needs to do now is return to his homeland… Earth! Now, after being away for several days, Gao Jianfei also misses Earth terribly. Thinking of his homeland being poisoned by evil aliens, and his compatriots being slaughtered by them, Gao Jianfei desperately wants to return to Earth immediately. Especially seeing the peace and prosperity of Dragon Ball, a planet with a culture not so different from Earth's, makes Gao Jianfei miss Earth even more!
"Oh, darling, I understand what you mean. So, are you going back to Earth now? Are you sure? If you are, then I will officially activate the teleportation device for you. You can take a nap, and when you open your eyes, you will have already returned to Earth!" The intelligent program said to Gao Jianfei with a sweet smile.
"Well
"...Wait a minute." Gao Jianfei suddenly remembered something... "I went on this solo expedition to explore the depths of the Arctic without telling Miss Luo or Uncle Luo. Now, I've been away from the cruise ship for over ten hours, and it's already daylight outside. They haven't seen me and will definitely be searching for me everywhere. I don't want them to create a huge scandal because they can't find me; that would definitely make the Shangguan brothers and the others extremely suspicious. After all, I'll be coming back to Dragon Planet for missions in the future, so I don't want to cause any trouble. Before returning to Earth, I need to do some cleanup work after leaving Dragon Planet."
"Hehe, darling, I think you subconsciously have a lingering affection for that girl Luo Linlin, right? You want to go and apologize to her in person?" The AI program chuckled, its tone laced with sarcasm.
Gao Jianfei chuckled and shrugged.
