Chapter 870 - 870 Not Willing?
870 Not Willing?
Looking at the person walking over from the other side of the contestant’s passageway, Tiago narrowed his eyes.
As a fourth-stage Void Break Martial Artist, Tiago’s perception of spatial energy was naturally extraordinary.
When he saw this person, he had already sensed the abnormal spatial energy fluctuations around his body.
Although this person was wearing an ordinary staff uniform and looked ordinary, the more this was the case, the more Tiago felt a strong sense of danger.
“Who is it?!” Seeing that the other party was about to approach, Tiago shouted in a low voice.
“Heh heh, that’s Tiago, right?” An ear-piercing chuckle sounded from under the hat that covered that person’s entire head and seemed to be a little inappropriate.
Then, that person raised his lowered head slightly, revealing an equally ordinary face. The spatial energy around him that was already in an abnormal state circulated even more wildly.
Tiago’s expression changed and he took a step back with his right foot. Just as he put on a vigilant expression, that person had completely raised his head and shot a calm gaze over.
He immediately felt the space around him freeze. All the flowing spatial energy had completely condensed and was no longer under any control. At the same time, his body was completely frozen on the spot and he could not even move a finger.
In his shock, Tiago’s breathing surged wildly. Immediately, subtle waves visible to the naked eye appeared in the space around it. Like a rock thrown into the water, the ripples spread out in all directions. At the same time, his body recovered its mobility. His left foot retreated and his body quickly flew back.
However, he had just flown less than two meters when he felt the spatial energy in the surrounding space being completely locked again. A huge pressure ten times more terrifying than before surged from all directions, forcefully pressing down his body that had just flown up and preventing him from moving again.
In a flash, that person had already arrived in front of Tiago. He looked at him with a trace of admiration.
“As expected of the most outstanding genius in the United States of Melaita. You actually have the strength to resist under such circumstances. It was not in vain for me to take the risk to come here.”
After saying this, that person stretched out his palm and pressed it on the helpless Tiago’s face. The vortex formed by the spatial energy in his palm seeped out, and he immediately felt his vision turn black.
Before he lost consciousness, a thought that even he felt very surprised suddenly appeared in his mind.
“If Chu Nan is here, can he escape?”
After this thought flashed through his mind, Tiago completely lost consciousness.
A moment later, the two figures in the contestant’s passageway had completely disappeared as if nothing had happened.
…
While Tiago walked into the participant passageway, Chu Nan happened to walk to the entrance of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s branch office on Planet Tomrelle.
As soon as he entered, he saw Director Jiggs welcome him with a warm smile.
“Ah, Chu Nan, welcome.” Director Jiggs warmly held Chu Nan’s arm and sighed, “What a pity. You were eliminated because of that accident and can’t stay here for a period of time. Otherwise, I could get along with you more and get closer.”
Chu Nan grinned and thought to himself, ‘You probably don’t want to get closer to me, but to get closer to my physical data.’
Ever since he came here to undergo a data test, perhaps because he sensed the extremely great research value hidden in Chu Nan’s body from these data, Director Jiggs was extremely enthusiastic about him. He contacted Chu Nan every few days and hoped that he could come again to obtain more data from him.
Previously, Chu Nan had always used the excuse that he was busy preparing for the competition to reject it. Now that he had been eliminated, he could not use this reason to reject it. Therefore, he decided to take the opportunity to make a trip here before he left Planet Tomrelle. While it could be considered a response to Director Jiggs’ enthusiasm, he could also earn some extra money for himself.
One had to know that in order to let Chu Nan come, Director Jiggs had privately given him twice the reward as Tahm Kench.
If not for the fact that he had to return to the Earth Federation, in the end, Chu Nan felt that it was not bad to continue participating in research here.
Time was tight, so Chu Nan did not waste any time with Director Jiggs. He familiarly entered the laboratory of the branch office with him and began to undergo a series of tests.
In fact, not only did Director Jiggs want to study Chu Nan more, but he was also a little curious about his current physical condition.
Although he had a powerful data ability and an extremely precise understanding of his physical condition, he was still slightly inferior to the extremely comprehensive equipment provided by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.
Being able to obtain a full-body data test here would be more helpful for him to master his physical condition.
The main reason why he came here today was to know where the effect on his body after successfully condensing the star cloud was.
Chu Nan was already extremely familiar with this data test. He did not need Director Jiggs and those researchers to give him any instructions and obediently lay on the data test table.
As soon as he lay down, Director Jiggs suddenly walked over and lowered his head to look at Chu Nan who was lying on it with a strange smile.
“Chu Nan, according to the report provided by our colleagues in the Earth Federation, you seem to be willing to cooperate with our Chamber of Commerce in a deeper manner?”
Chu Nan was a little strange, “What?”
“What I mean is… after some research, the Chamber of Commerce feels that you have an even greater research value, so they hope to cooperate with you in a deeper manner. This way, it will be very helpful to you and our Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?”
Chu Nan frowned slightly and did not understand why Director Jiggs mentioned this at this moment.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, “I don’t understand what deeper cooperation you’re talking about. I’ve long said that I’ll cooperate with you for research, but I won’t completely hand myself to you like other martial artists. If this is the deeper cooperation you’re talking about, don’t say it.”
“But if you don’t do this, it’ll be very difficult to discover many valuable things hidden in you. Don’t you think it’s a pity?” Director Jiggs did not seem to have given up.
“I don’t think so.” Chu Nan shook his head without any hesitation.
He knew very well that the reason why his strength had increased so quickly in such a short period of time and his body had undergone shocking changes was not only because he had learned various magical cultivation methods from those shocking encounters, but also because he had a powerful data ability.
If it was anyone else who asked for an in-depth study, Chu Nan did not mind, but the A.I. that caused him to have such a magical data ability was a product of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. It was very difficult to guarantee that the Noctem Chamber of Commerce would not discover anything.
If the Noctem Chamber of Commerce discovered his true secret, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Seeing that Chu Nan rejected him bluntly, Director Jiggs did not continue to pester him. He only nodded at him and turned to leave.
Chu Nan looked at his departing figure in confusion and did not understand why he suddenly asked these questions.
In the next moment, Chu Nan’s attention shifted away from Director Jiggs.
This was because he discovered that as Director Jiggs left, the other researchers in the room actually left the room used for this experiment.
This made Chu Nan feel very strange.
Although the technology of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce was extremely outstanding and could definitely complete the entire set of physical data tests without anyone beside him, every time he went to the branch office of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce to study and cooperate, there would always be researchers monitoring his situation at any time.
Even the last time he came here, there were also researchers responsible for monitoring.
Why did these people leave today?
Just as a question appeared in his mind, a few crisp cracking sounds suddenly sounded from the data test table where Chu Nan was lying. Four metal buckles suddenly stretched out and passed through his wrists and ankles. Then, they firmly locked his limbs on the table.
Chu Nan’s expression immediately changed.
