Chapter 24: Defense and Flight

Fang Jian was startled. He said, “The ‘Great Destruction’ he mentioned should refer to the world war that broke out several centuries later.”

It was considered immense, with half of the Earth being devastated. However, it was precisely because of this war that humanity could break out of the Milky Way later. War was the primary driver of scientific advancement.

However, pre-Great Destruction famous artworks?

Fang Jian thought momentarily and said, “Mr. Zhuge Erma, can you provide me with a list? I will attempt to locate them.”

“Alright, Mr. Fang, I’ll send you the list immediately,” Mr. Zhuge Erma said.

After a while, both parties concluded this friendly meeting. Back in his bedroom, Fang Jian quickly skimmed through the list. Fang Jian had never heard of any of the names except a few individuals. After all, he had no interest in art. Apart from the globally renowned top painters, he knew nothing.

However, the list was quite extensive, encompassing names from both domestic and foreign artists. Fang Jian estimated that there should be approximately a thousand people on the list. Nevertheless, Fang Jian didn’t intend to search for them actively.

Among antiques, what was the most valuable?

Paintings and calligraphy were undoubtedly among them. It was said that the most expensive oil painting in the world had even reached a price of over 300 million US dollars. Exchanging valuable antique paintings for stones, sand, or cement would be foolish.

I’ll take it slow in the future!

Fang Jian put on the watch, bid farewell to his parents, and then left the house. Although it was already evening, many taxis were still in the city. Fang Jian rented a car and spent an hour to reach the mountainous area. With the powerful allure of money, the taxi driver willingly took on this job.

To the west of Yongcheng, although it couldn’t be considered desolate, there were numerous mountains. Fang Jian had been here a few times before with his classmates, so he was quite familiar with the area. It was also in this location where surveillance cameras were not widespread.

First, he placed the watch on his forehead, establishing a neural connection between his mind and the device. This was the greatest convenience of advanced technology. There was no need to operate it with both hands. As long as he had a thought, the bio-armor would be activated.

“Activate.”

Instantly, the watch on Fang Jian’s wrist split open, transforming into strange, wave-like ripples that enveloped his entire body. On the surface of this body, there was also a protective shield filled with energy.

As long as the energy of this shield did not disappear, no weapon could harm Fang Jian. Of course, by “no weapon,” it didn’t include the military weapons of a thousand years later.

Modern armor-piercing bullets could even penetrate tanks. So, when faced with bullet-resistant glass and bulletproof vehicles…

Not discussing caliber and specialized ammunition, and claiming to be bulletproof is just reckless behavior. Almost instantly, an “Iron Man” appeared. Although Fang Jian didn’t have a mirror in front of him, he knew that his current image must be extremely powerful.

With a slight movement, he started running. It was fast, incredibly fast! Fang Jian’s body couldn’t adapt to this speed at all. He quickly stopped; this thing required more practice. Also, this bio-armor could fly. Fang Jian manipulated the armor and slowly lifted it off the ground…

On TV, Iron Man’s flight seemed straightforward and elegant, but trying it in reality revealed how challenging and tricky it was. Fang Jian practiced for a long time but was still only a meter off the ground. Are you trying to run without even learning how to walk? Fang Jian was naturally cautious and would never do something so comical.

He had tested the protective and flying capabilities. As for the final offensive ability…

Fang Jian thought for a moment but decided not to activate it. Instead, after playing for an hour, he “flew” out of the mountains and encountered an empty taxi, which he took home.

After this incident, Fang Jian understood that practice was necessary regardless of weapon or equipment. Those who could instantly master weapons in movies… well, the screenwriters and directors were misguided, and those who believed in it were, too.

Apart from that, they still needed a car at home. His father had a driver’s license but had never bought a car. It wasn’t because they couldn’t afford it, but rather to save money. However, his father often said, “The workplace is so close. Who needs a car? Walking is healthier.”

When Fang Jian returned home, his father suddenly came over.

“Son, did you give the money to the hospital when you went there last time?” Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“No.”

“Oh, I knew it! Liu Yuanyuan’s mother must have made a mistake.”

Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, “I didn’t give money, but I paid a hospital bill of 100,000 yuan for her.”

Fang Biao was stunned, realizing that his son had outsmarted him. This kid, the older he got, the more mischievous he became. He was still cute when he was in a little cotton-padded jacket.
