NOVEL NEXT Chapter 355: Materialized Rule Clock
"I need to report this to the higher-ups." Li Yunfeng didn't dare to make the decision himself and contacted them.
Mu Rufeng didn't mind, and stood waiting.
Ten minutes later, Li Yunfeng came running back to explain the directive from above: they agreed.
Even though it was just two brief words, Li Yunfeng couldn't help but wonder about Mu Rufeng's identity and background.
"Thanks for teaching me to fly the helicopter. I'll treat you to a meal next time," Mu Rufeng greeted, then directly started the helicopter and ascended on the spot.
Ten minutes later.
The helicopter's speed exceeded eighty miles, and suddenly the rotor encountered a problem and immediately lost the ability to spin.
Traffic accident...
Then, Mu Rufeng kicked open the helicopter door and leaped from hundreds of meters high in the sky.
After the parachute deployed, Mu Rufeng's figure instantly stabilized, while the helicopter plummeted straight down, finally crashing into a forest area and causing a violent explosion.
Indeed, this traffic accident is quite bizarre.
...
At nine in the morning, Wang Luo's call came through.
Once Mu Rufeng picked up, Wang Luo said, "The helicopter you've asked for has been purchased, but as you know, the speed limit is eighty now, so it definitely won't arrive today."
The distance between both parties is more than two thousand kilometers. Even with three shifts and non-stop 24-hour transportation at maximum speed, calculated at 80 kilometers per hour,
only over 1900 kilometers can be covered in twenty-four hours.
Under normal circumstances, it might not even arrive next week. After all, it's not like the road conditions can maintain 80 kilometers constantly when you say they can.
"If that's the case, then next week will be fine. However, preparing a hot air balloon should be doable, right? I'd like to test the hot air balloon," Mu Rufeng said.
Using a hot air balloon was indeed Mu Rufeng's backup plan.
Mainly because a hot air balloon can't hover steadily; it will continuously ascend, but from a speed perspective, no matter what, it won't exceed eighty kilometers per hour.
But if there's a gale, then it would be troublesome, and besides, is a hot air balloon really considered a vehicle?
"A hot air balloon? That should be fine, just come directly to the Dragon Group Base; by the time you arrive, the hot air balloon should have arrived too," Wang Luo said.
Mu Rufeng acknowledged, then left Muyun.
With the helicopter out of the equation, the hot air balloon was the only option left.
...
At ten in the morning.
In an open area of Changxiong Mental Hospital.
A giant hot air balloon slowly ascended.
Many people stood below, looking up at the person standing in the basket of the hot air balloon.
There's no denying the hot air balloon is extremely impressive, reaching ten thousand meters high casually.
As long as there's enough fuel, and Mu Rufeng had indeed prepared a lot of fuel.
As long as the flame keeps burning, elevating the hot air balloon to ten thousand meters high is no problem.
Now, it's just a matter of waiting to climb to ten thousand meters high.
The reason for going up now is naturally to avoid missing it. It's definitely more prudent to go up early rather than calculate the timing.
Mu Rufeng estimated that it would take more than an hour for the hot air balloon to reach ten thousand meters high.
Once it reaches ten thousand meters high, then the Rule Clock can be encountered.
Because no matter where it is, the Rule Clock is visible, regardless of its position in the sky, there's no need to worry about the Collector failing to hit the Rule Clock.
Shortly after takeoff, Mu Rufeng's phone rang.
Mu Rufeng took it and saw it was Yan Zhicheng.
Yan Zhicheng's voice came through on the phone: "Brother Feng, why aren't you home? I've been knocking on the door for a while."
"I'm not home, I'm outside."
Yan Zhicheng: "Brother Feng, when will you be back? The new rule is supposed to arrive today."
"Possibly in the afternoon."
Yan Zhicheng: "Huh? In the afternoon? Where did you go, Brother Feng, coming back only in the afternoon."
"I have some things to do, went up. As for the new rule, I know, it's the [Good Sleep] requirement; every day, sleep time must fall within the 8-10 hour range."
"Violating it means punishment of only being able to sleep four hours a day, no matter how tired you are, you won't be able to fall asleep."
Yan Zhicheng: "Huh? Went up? I'm saying Brother Feng, stop kidding, how'd you fly up? Besides, how could you know the rule beforehand?"
"When have I lied to you? Let's discuss later, further up the signal will drop." Mu Rufeng finished speaking and directly hung up.
Then Mu Rufeng sat on the ground, leaning against the railing, holding his phone and starting to read a novel.
There's still over an hour left to fly up, not reading a novel to pass the time isn't an option.
...
At noon, 11:58.
Mu Rufeng put his phone away, then slowly stood up.
At this moment, the hot air balloon had risen very high, definitely exceeding ten thousand meters.
It may even have reached twelve or thirteen thousand meters in height.
This height works, after all, while the Rule Clock is above ten thousand meters, its body is huge, with the highest point probably reaching twenty thousand meters.
Soon, two minutes passed, the time reached noon on July 21st.
"Dong dong dong~~!"
The familiar sound of a clock chimes.
A giant clock slowly appeared in the void.
A vast aura spread out.
When on the ground, looking up at the Rule Clock was quite striking.
But now facing this Rule Clock directly, it brought an even greater impact to Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng immediately took out the Space Breath Collector from his pocket, then without hesitation, forcefully tossed it towards the Rule Clock ahead.
