Chapter 139: New Weapon GS Sword
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.
