Mag-log inVera agreed with Charlie—the ring itself could teleport an owner it acknowledged, and that already made it one of the best forms of transportation there was. In fact, those ancient cultivators who reigned before the Degenerate Age of Dharma didn't even need a fixed point portal to teleport from one place to another—they could have just gone to any place they liked with the ring.And yet, for some reason, the teleportation function of the ring could only be triggered when it's life-or-death situations…However, even as Charlie was left utterly confused, Vera was racking her brains and then suggested an idea, "Perhaps the ring does have a teleportation function, but you had yet to trigger it?"Charlie was left taken aback for three seconds, and cringed as he admitted solemnly, "Well, that makes sense…"He trailed off, when it came to his mind and he quickly asked, "In that case, why make those nine portals across the world?"Vera smiled as she explained her idea. "Let's consider t
Vera yelped in fright—she had never seen so many bugs swarming in a split second, and promptly hid behind Charlie.Charlie wasn't afraid of insects, but was still more or less unsettled seeing such a dense swarm, and hence channeled his Reiki into a strong gale, blowing them away.Still a little confused, Vera asked, "Where did those bugs come from? That's too many…"Charlie shook his head somberly. "They were probably dwelling in the soil I took.""Dwelling?" Vera blurted in surprise. "You can't move them along with the soil?"Charlie was surprised by Vera's quick thinking once again, and thought about it. "Probably not. But I didn't think of them when I moved the soil, so the technique didn't move them as well."Vera nodded in understanding. "That means any form of fauna can be put inside, only flora.""That's right," Charlie replied. "As the void pocket has no concept of time, plants won't grow further… But it seems that any form of fauna—even the non-sentient—can't be put in
The helicopter soon arrived in the woods south of Aurous Hill, where Coldie had blown himself up.The crater was now filled with life, with wild tall grass thriving. However, with the trees blown away, it was a perfect circular dent in the ground that they could land on safely.Vera handily turned off the ignition, and the rotors slowly stopped.As she got off with Charlie, she suddenly turned sharply back to stare at the light helicopter and asked, "Do you think you can put that in the void pocket too?"Charlie smiled and nodded. "Sure, since it's quite spacious in there."Vera grinned at him expectantly. "Well, can you demonstrate?"Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Charlie naturally decided against being a buzzkill. Putting his palms on the helicopter, he thought of the mental incantation to insert objects into the void pocket.The helicopter disappeared instantly, appearing again in the center of the void pocket as he thought in his mind.Vera gaped as Charlie held his palm
Moreover, buying aircraft wasn't particularly difficult. Unlike passenger planes, cargo planes didn't require ordering from manufacturers and waiting for delivery times that can easily exceed one or two years. Currently, the vast majority of cargo planes in the international air logistics sector were basically converted retired passenger aircraft, accounting for at least 90% of all air cargo fleets—most being over twenty or even thirty years old. Using such aircraft for passenger transport might be nerve-wracking for passengers, but they were perfectly viable for carrying cargo.However, Charlie made one specific request to Isaac: no short-to-medium-range narrow-body cargo planes. While those planes were a lucrative tool for ordinary courier companies operating domestic trunk lines, they were completely useless to him. He needed ultra-long-range cargo planes with a range of over ten thousand miles for dispatching cargo between continents.After instructing Isaac on what to do, Char
Vera's suggestion definitely inspired Charlie—the nine portals spread across the globe would allow him to keep the entire world at his fingertips, while the void ring provided incredible logistics capacity as support.The void pocket was at least 350,000 cubic feet wide, which meant an alarming amount of space for resources. That was at least 90,000 tons worth of crude oil, making it no different from an oceanic cargo ship.And in comparison, it takes a cargo ship a month at minimum to cross the seas, while Charlie needed just ten seconds to travel the same distance.Still, even with the convenience of the nine portals, he couldn't just do everything by himself. As such, the best idea was to have a shipping company and hub, with planes making the final journey to deliver his resources where he wanted them, after which he gathered everything into the void pocket.It would take billions of dollars, but that was nothing compared to Charlie's wallet—the only issue was that such capital
Vera looked up at the leaves of the kombuc tree, peering through the leaves at the starry sky, smiling as she breathed softly, "I've been staring at the stars for four hundred years, but it looks different today. I used to find it infinite and wonderful, but now there's also mystery and terror lurking within that same infinity."Charlie looked up at the stars and nodded as well."I once thought that the universe was so vast," he sighed. "What with two hundred billion stars in the Milky Way alone, each star having its own star system like our sun… That's why I was confident that there is life in them too. "But I also used to feel superior about us, presuming that even if there were extraterrestrial life, most of it would probably just be microorganisms living in water… That they are unlikely to be blessed with the right timing and conditions to develop into a civilization comparable to humanity. "That is, until now. Looking at the stars again, knowing that there are lifeforms who
In a luxurious Mercedes-Benz sedan, Jiro was behind the wheels with the quiet Nanako by his side as they left the hospital.As soon as he drove the car out of the hospital gates, Nanako couldn’t help but ask, “Kobayashi-san, who exactly is this miracle doctor you mentioned?

Charlie could not help feeling a little excited at the thought of meeting Mrs. Lewis again soon.He had never seen Mrs. Lewis again ever since he had gotten scolded for trying to borrow money from Lady Wilson at her birthday banquet. This was because Stephen had sent Mrs. Lewis directly to Eastcliff
After she was done speaking, Lady Wilson raised her hand before she slapped Elaine again. Then, she said coldly, “I have not liked you ever since the day Jacob wanted to marry you! Since you have already disgusted me for so many years, I must hit you until I am finally satisfied!”Elaine broke down c
“What?”Max has already lived for more than twenty years. This was the most shocking sentence that he had ever heard Charlie said in his whole entire life.With bloodshot eyes, Max stared at Charlie before he muttered, “Impossible. How could that be possible? I know who you are. I’ve known you since y
