768 Take a Trip While You’re At It
Chu Zhongping waved his hand repeatedly, “No, no, no. What are we going to do? You have something important to do. If we follow, we’ll only delay your serious matters.”
“What’s there to delay? Go ahead and play. I’ll just go see the Marshal myself.” Chu Nan shook his head, “Moreover, the Marshal will definitely only summon me for a look. Can he let me play at his house for a few days?”
“No.” Yu Fang suddenly rejected it very firmly, “Little Nan, it’s easy for you to say. Do you know how much it costs to go to Earth once? If our entire family goes together, just the travel expenses will be thousands. Coupled with the food, accommodation, and fun on Earth, it will cost tens of thousands. We still have to save the money at home for you and Xiaoxi to go to school. We can’t waste it on this.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Only then did Chu Zhongping seem to have understood. He hurriedly nodded in agreement, “It’s too expensive to go to Earth. It’s fine if Xiaoxi goes to see Star Cloud Academy in advance, but your mother and I don’t have to follow.”
Chu Nan tilted his head and thought for a moment before suddenly realizing that… this was really a problem.
His personal strength had soared, but this had nothing to do with his economic benefits.
It was very easy to resolve this problem by directly asking Dong Fang, but it was too embarrassing to borrow money from him for a family vacation.
“Damn, could it be that I, an expert who can even kill a Heaven Control expert, have to worry about a little money?”
Chu Nan frowned and suddenly thought of a solution. He opened his personal terminal and dialed a private call.
A moment later, Tahm Kench’s chubby face appeared on the virtual screen. When he saw Chu Nan, he let out a long breath.
“Oh, my god, Chu Nan! It’s really you!”
Chu Nan was a little amused, “What? Don’t tell me you believe what those netizens say? The me who appeared previously was only someone from the Federation Army who pretended to be me?”
“To be honest… I’m indeed a little worried.” Tahm Kench laughed awkwardly, “However, it’s great to be able to see with my own eyes that you’re still alive. The research I’m doing related to you has already reached the most critical period. If you really disappear, my previous efforts and a large amount of research resources will be completely in vain.”
Chu Nan laughed and was a little surprised that Tahm Kench would admit this so frankly.
However, he could not be bothered to pay attention to these details. He paused for a moment and said to Tahm Kench, “I’m looking for you this time because of what I said on Planet Leppler previously.”
Tahm Kench immediately stopped smiling.
“Chu Nan, this matter is a secret. Please don’t casually reveal it.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. I want you to help me.”
“Oh? What favor?” When he heard that Chu Nan wanted his help, Tahm Kench was not impatient at all. Instead, he was very happy.
Since Chu Nan was willing to ask him for help, it would naturally be much easier for him to continue participating in the research in the future.
“It’s very simple.” Chu Nan turned the virtual screen and aimed it at Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang, “They’re my parents. I have something to do on Earth this time and my parents plan to come and play together. However, because I might not have time to accompany them, I hope to borrow your Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s relationship to arrange it. Do you think…”
“No problem!” Tahm Kench immediately patted his chest and agreed. He revealed an extremely kind and friendly smile to Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang, “The two of you, I’ll definitely send someone to make the most appropriate and thoughtful arrangements for your trip. I guarantee that you’ll have a happy journey on Earth.”
Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang were a little awkward. At this moment, they could not reject Chu Nan and could only force a smile.
“Remember the cost of this trip first. When the time comes, deduct it from my research reward,” Chu Nan said.
Tahm Kench immediately put on an insulted expression.
“Chu Nan, aren’t you treating me as a friend by saying this? You’ve provided so much help to our Chamber of Commerce’s research and only arranged for your parents to travel on Earth. It’s not a big deal. Why would we need you to pay any fees?”
At this point, Tahm Kench changed to an extremely expectant expression and asked softly, “About that… since you’ve returned to Earth this time, if it’s convenient, please come to me. There are some questions I need to discuss with you. What do you think?”
Seeing Tahm Kench’s careful appearance, Chu Nan was amused. He nodded and said, “Alright, no problem. I’ll take the time to go.”
“That’s great!” Tahm Kench was immediately overjoyed. He glanced at Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang and said to Chu Nan, “Regarding the travel, you can directly contact Carlisle later. He’ll make appropriate arrangements.”
“Okay.”
After closing his personal terminal, Chu Nan shrugged at Chu Zhongping and Yu Fang.
“Look, money is not a problem now. Moreover, there are people specially arranging it for you, so you don’t have to worry. Go play as much as you want.”
His gaze landed on the four maidservants beside him and Chu Nan added.
“Right, bring them along. You’ve all left. There’s no one at home, so it’s not good to leave them behind.”
Yu Fang ignored Chu Nan’s words and asked in surprise, “Little Nan, you… the person you were talking to was an important figure in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce? You’re very close to him?”
Chu Nan laughed, “It’s not anything good. We’re just cooperating.”
“Cooperate? What do you want to cooperate with him for? Don’t tell me you’re selling blood?” Yu Fang was even more surprised.
Chu Nan covered his face and sighed, “Mom, what era is it now? Is there still such a thing as selling blood? Don’t think too much. Go play with Dad for a few days and relax. Don’t worry about anything else.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a few crisp sounds suddenly sounded above his head.
Chu Nan raised his head and discovered that it was the sound of the low-altitude shuttle above his head. He knew that Major Nariel should be a little impatient from waiting, so he waved at Chu Zhongtian and Yu Fang.
“Tell Xiaoxi to come with her. I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, Chu Nan ignored Yu Fang’s shout and flew up.
Seeing that Chu Nan had finally flown into the shuttle, Major Nariel sneered, “Kid, you’re quite busy.”
Chu Nan smiled back, “It’s alright. Didn’t you see that I was summoned by the Marshal?”
Major Nariel’s expression sank, but it was not convenient for him to flare up. He could only give the order to set off in a low voice.
A moment later, the low-altitude shuttle had already cut through the sky with everyone and disappeared into the distance.
