Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: Airborne Crisis! ①

This "Hyperdimensional Channel" was becoming more and more like that.

Personal storage space was like the old days of getting cloud storage space online, giving you 1GB of free space.

Now, new functions had appeared. Personal cubic space could also be upgraded, but of course it wasn't free.

Moreover, upgrades had tiers. Upgrading space required spending energy coins correspondingly, and it wasn't permanent—there seemed to be daily fee, monthly fee, yearly fee, and permanent modes.

So this time coming to Tessa's world, Ejie hadn't only brought the toy company's STC.

After giving the Salamanders one tank-shaped STC, wasn't there still another one?

The other one had been brought over.

However, he hadn't immediately taken it out, but would wait until their submarine completed its deep search before revealing it.

After all, such a large item was too obvious and easily noticed.

Perhaps it was hard to destroy, but if they suddenly threw it into the ocean at sea, it would be difficult to retrieve.

This item's volume was about the size of a Land Raider tank, requiring roughly ten meters in length, width, and height to store—about the size of a somewhat cubic three-story building.

Simply put, it was upgrading from 1GB cloud storage to 1000GB capacity—expanding the space from one cubic meter to a cubic space enlarged a thousand times.

After all, Land Raider tanks were about ten meters in height and length.

This tank-shaped STC was slightly smaller than ten meters—fortunately.

However, since the width wasn't ten meters but about six meters, it left about one-third of the space remaining, which could store quite a lot.

Ejie's upgrade to this size space wasn't permanent.

The starting price was one hundred hours, costing ten coins.

Furthermore, it provided equivalent volume of free transmission traffic.

For example, A2's original one cubic meter space required one coin per transmission.

Now he had one thousand cubic meters of free traffic space for transmission. Moreover, it was bidirectional free transmission traffic of one thousand cubic meters.

Furthermore, this thousand traffic space seemed to be efficiently utilized.

For instance, if he transmitted 2.5 cubic meters of material to others, he would have 997.5 traffic space remaining.

If the other side also transmitted 2.5 cubic meters over, it would also consume traffic.

Of course, transmitted items needed to fit the recipient's space size—oversized items couldn't be transmitted.

If he transmitted something that was 0.9 cubic meters but one dimension exceeded one meter, the recipient's cubic meter space probably couldn't receive it.

Also, his traffic space couldn't be shared with everyone in the "Hyperdimensional Channel."

Only worlds he had visited could share traffic space for free transmission.

That is, he could now freely share this thousand cubic meters of space traffic with A2, Poison Island Saeko, and Tessa's spaces.

Currently, he had also extended the space usage time to match his stay duration—purchasing three times, gaining three thousand cubic meters of space traffic.

"Tairosa, let me tell you, the stuff this guy gave definitely has problems. These past two days, my brain has been randomly conjuring up messy mathematical formulas and such, which completely messed up my quiz yesterday. My score is definitely failing."

Chidori Kaname, sitting in the seat beside him, seemed to act as if he wasn't there and began slandering his medicine.

However, this sounded like the black technology Chidori Kaname possessed was beginning to awaken.

"Um, could..."

Tessa immediately stopped. The current setting wasn't appropriate for deeply inquiring about the messy formulas appearing in Chidori Kaname's brain.

They weren't in a classroom or infirmary now, but on a plane that had just taken off.

The graduation trip had begun.

However, Gauron's whereabouts hadn't been accurately pinpointed, and he apparently hadn't boarded.

The reason was that Mithril's investigation had inadvertently alerted him, making Tessa somewhat regretful.

Perhaps they shouldn't have investigated and just pretended ignorance, letting him board—they had startled the snake by beating the grass.

But this didn't mean there would be no hijacking incident and this graduation trip would be peaceful. Since the enemy was Amalgam, they wouldn't give up easily.

This made things unpredictable.

In other words, they had messed up.

In a flash, the plane had been flying steadily for two hours.

"Tairosa, could we switch seats? I want to look at the sky outside."

"Sure."

Tessa switched seats with Chidori Kaname, letting her sit by the window.

"Kaname, the ocean looks so beautiful from this high up."

This was another friend of Chidori Kaname's, also sitting by a window with her face pressed against it.

"It really is beautiful, and the clouds too."

Chidori Kaname responded while picking up her camera to take photos.

Suddenly, Mr. Ejie beside them stuffed something into Tessa's hand—a small pistol.

At the same time, he stood up and walked forward.

This sudden behavior made Tessa's face change. Were there actually enemies who had infiltrated the plane?

Looking carefully, besides the small pistol, there was also a badge-like compass in her hand.

This little thing had been attached to the drink cart the flight attendant had pushed earlier, and Mr. Ejie had removed it?

His giving this to her certainly had some purpose.

After laying it flat and looking at the compass direction, Tessa immediately understood the problem.

The flight path had changed!!!

If they were following the original destination, the compass shouldn't be pointing in this direction—the current direction was somewhat opposite.

It was almost completely turned around, but this shouldn't go unnoticed.

The truth was probably only one thing—the turn was gradual, with small turning angles, making a large arc.

In this situation, couldn't they also distinguish the problem through the sun's angle of illumination?

Actually, with the sun's current angle and the plane changing direction, it was hard to notice the sun problem.

Because the sun was almost directly overhead the plane, so they couldn't use the sun to distinguish direction.

This meant the enemy had calculated this flight's timing too.

Finally, Mithril's intelligence had still failed, because enemies had still infiltrated the plane.

Moreover, it should be the captain or co-pilot.

After three minutes, Mr. Ejie returned. Had he resolved it?

No, from his expression, the situation clearly wasn't resolved.

"There are fighter jets below the plane, communicating directly to the cockpit, threatening using the captain's family."

This made Tessa's face change.

Correction—he didn't speak aloud, but text appeared on Ejie's phone screen, obviously typed in advance.

"Furthermore, there's now a problem. Their stupid intimidation shot accidentally grazed the plane's landing gear bay door, causing the door to be unable to open."

This new content made Tessa's face slightly ashen.

If the landing gear couldn't open, wouldn't they have to crash-land?

This could easily result in total destruction!

Then—

"Sorry..."

Suddenly an announcement came on—the flight attendant informed that there would be turbulence ahead and everyone should immediately fasten their seatbelts.

Oxygen masks also dropped down.

The plane's speed seemed to slow, and altitude decreased.

After everything was ready—

"Sagara Sousuke, please close the hatch afterward."

After saying this, under everyone's gaze, Mr. Ejie suddenly went to the hatch, opened it, and jumped out without hesitation.

This scene left Tessa somewhat stunned.

Immediately followed by panicked screaming.

Some were frightened by the strong suction from air pressure differences, others were scared by this sudden suicidal act.

The scene became chaotic.
