Chapter 139: 139

As expected, the business magnates were astounded upon receiving their family members who had completed their treatment .

These old and frail men in the late stages of their lives had suddenly had the passages of time wound backward on them . How could they have the strength of their youthful prime restored by just spending four months in Africa?

There was not much by way of hesitation this time . Fifty members across eleven families had made reservations for the second batch of treatment . The Muhammad family of the Middle East continent accounted for the majority of it .

Most of them were collateral members, so they had to pay for the treatment of God’s Forbidden Zone at the price of ten million dollars for ten years of lifespan .

This meant that collateral members had to make a one-time payment of ten million dollars . Over the next decade, apart from helping them restore their youth, God’s Forbidden Zone would also be cultivating a cloned body of the payer and maintaining it . Should the payer be struck with any illness, they would be cured subsequently . If the cloned body remained unused after a decade had passed, God’s Forbidden Zone would get rid of it .

It was free of charge for the direct members of the Disciple Council .

Due to large family structures like Muhammad, there was a need for another disclaimer in God’s Forbidden Zone . There could be no more than thirty direct members receiving treatment and any additional member was subject to payment similar to the collateral members .

The only person allowed to directly liaise with God’s Forbidden Zone was the head of the family who held the highest authority in the family . Other family members or related members did not have the privilege of conducting business with God’s Forbidden Zone .

As one of the twelve disciples, these families could receive one hundred thousand information credit upon becoming a disciple . These information credits could be used for purchasing certain resources in God’s Forbidden Zone or they could use it to obtain certain secret information or issue missions .

The ones who would be carrying out the published missions could be other members of God’s Forbidden Zone or even the God’s Forbidden Zone organization itself .

…

Several days later, there was a conversation coming from Chen Chen’s office .

Chen Chen was chatting calmly with a gray, elderly voice on the other end .

“Don’t worry, our God’s Forbidden Zone adheres to a strict set of code . How else can we hope to attract the next group of business tycoons if we don’t hold up this level of credibility?”

“As for the matter concerning your son, I know what to do, be rest assured . ”

Chen Chen sank into the rotating chair and dealt with matters on the phone while toying around with a black object measuring about thirty centimeters long .

The elongated object seemed to resemble a knife handle . There was an oblate armguard on one end of it and a convex section built for grip in the middle . The only thing missing was a blade at its top .

There was a faint gray button located in the area of the armguard . It was positioned at an angle so that someone reaching for it could conveniently press it with their thumb .

“Of course, Sir Roman, I look forward to your arrival…”

“Of course, most welcome . ”

Toward the end of their conversation, Chen Chen silently hung up the phone while he held the handle and pressed the gray button .

“Chink!”

A long narrow blade popped out from the inside of the handle following a swift ring .

What was even more amusing was that the body of the blade was coated in stark black, it was as if it was painted with a matte black surface .

Appearance-wise, it looked like an Asian samurai sword, except with a high technology element built into it . The length of the sword could be adjusted flexibly, ranging from thirty centimeters at its shortest, up to two meters .

Gantz Sword .

This was another piece of equipment Chen Chen had extracted from Gantz . It was convenient for carrying around and could easily launch its blade during combat . It was the perfect weapon fit for carrying and eradicating his enemies whenever necessary .

The principle of the sword was similar to the PK Armor from Predator, both of them were a form of nano-arrangement structure . In addition, when the sword faced an opposing force which velocity exceeded 100N, it would automatically generate a three-kilohertz high-frequency oscillation, instantly cutting obstacles in its path .

With so many high-tech built-in features, a Gantz Sword weighed up to 3 . 8kg .

Chen Chen continued messing around with the Gantz Sword in his palms and gave it a conventional name – GS Sword, completing a full set along with the GS Combat Suit .

“Sir Godfather, Prince Steel of the Muhammad family have informed us that the Symphony of the Sea cruise ship they took has been authorized by Namibia to dock . They’ll be arriving at the Walvis Bay harbor in two hours . ”

Little X’s crisp voice came from the speakers .

“Got it, have Qian Wenhuan get his crew ready to escort them at Walvis Bay . ”

Chen Chen caressed the blade while commenting absent-mindedly, “Make sure those old men don’t slip and fall or something . Those are walking dollar bills . ”

“But they also extended an invitation for you to board the cruise ship for an extravagant, luxurious trip experience,” Little X added .

“Luxurious trip? To where?” this caught Chen Chen’s attention, he asked without raising his head .

“Didn’t I inform you back then, the Muhammad family already invited all the other members of the Disciple Council to board the cruise ship before coming here to meet us . Also, when it comes to cruise ships, there is no need for a destination because being on the cruise itself is a prime pastime . ”

“Boarding a cruise is a form of pastime? Now, this is something I’m unaware of . ” Chen Chen shook his head with a blank look on his face .

Little X went on explaining patiently, “Cruise ships are a form of tourism vehicle that focuses on a sightseeing experience, there’s no need for a fixed route . You can stop in various countries and experience the local culture or indulge in the entertainment provided on the ship . There are swimming pools, bars, casinos, and even a theater to boot . Ensuring enjoyment of the highest quality even during the journey!”

“I got it, it’s something like Titanic right?” Chen Chen snapped his finger .

“That’s right!”

Little X replied, “Only the cruise ship today is far larger than Titanic . In the case of the Symphony of the Seas reserved by the Muhammad family, it’s 362 meters long, 65 . 7 meters wide, and 73 meters tall . It weighs 228 thousand tons in total . Titanic is merely one-fourth of its size . ”

Chen Chen seemed to be finally intrigued, “If the cruise ship is this big, surely it must require a lot of energy to operate?”

“Yes, Symphony of the Seas has six Leroy Somer LSA62 generators installed, totaling its power generation to up to 100,000 kilowatts,” Little X answered, “It’s the equivalent of the Walvis Bay power plant, enough to power a small city on their own!”

Unexpectedly, Chen Chen rose decisively upon hearing this, “Inform Qian Wenhuan to put together a convoy to head to Walvis Bay . Little X, I need you to survey the largest shipyards in the world and compile an analytic report . ”

“What would you like to analyze?” Little X asked .

“Price, time, power generation… I want to customize a cruise ship as well!”

“Understood . ”

Following Chen Chen’s orders, Cheng Cao quickly arrived at the ground floor of the research center driving a Wrangler . By the time Chen Chen took the USB drive from the main control room and headed outside, Cheng Cao and Qian Wenhuan were already waiting for him by the entrance .

“Boss . ”

“Boss!”

The two men bowed their heads slightly and headed outside with Chen Chen . Qian Wenhuan asked, “Boss, we’re going to…”

“The second batch of people from those families have arrived, we’re going to meet them and also take a tour on their cruise ship . ”

Chen Chen asked as he continued walking, “Wenhuan, you’re always traveling, have you been on a cruise ship before?”

“I’ve heard of them, but I’ve never really boarded one before . ”

Qian Wenhuan smiled awkwardly . “Those things are for people who have money and have the time for leisure . People who pursue efficiency have no time for it and would rather take the plane instead . ”

Chen Chen nodded in agreement . It was true, even if you could afford to take a cruise ship, it was far more efficient to take the plane unless your intention in the first place was just to travel .

Chen Chen lowered his head and got into the car . They were then headed for the harbor .

Right behind them was a fleet of vehicles for escorting their esteemed guests . A long line formed of dozens of cars made for a grand presentation as they headed toward Walvis Bay .
