Chapter 80, First Stop: The Land of Cherry Blossoms!
Zhou Jue did not answer immediately, but instead took out a silver-white, ultra-thin tablet computer with a futuristic look from the Starry Secret Box.
This is the latest model specially supplied to the base. It integrates the world's most accurate satellite maps and various intelligence data, and has an independent, untraceable quantum communication link.
"Don't rush, there are basic rules to follow when it comes to taking advantage of loopholes."
Zhou Jue's finger swiped lightly across the screen, and a high-definition world map instantly filled the entire screen.
"We need to first determine where the sheep have the longest and fattest wool, and where we can shear them without feeling guilty."
Cheng Gan came closer, her gaze fixed on the map. Her understanding of the international situation was far more profound than Zhou Jue's.
"From our current position, the most efficient route is to start from East Asia and head west."
Cheng Gan's finger traced a clean arc across the screen, circling several countries.
"These individuals all have deep historical ties with us."
"However, there are a few guys among them who have been constantly making trouble behind our backs, causing us a lot of trouble and being disgusting."
Her finger finally stopped on a long, narrow map of an island nation, her tone turning cold.
"Especially the country of cherry blossoms."
"Their country is filled with various shrines and ancient families, and there are countless legendary treasures. Moreover, geographically speaking, it is the closest to us and the easiest place for us to 'get lost' there."
The Land of Cherry Blossoms!
The moment those three words were uttered, Zhou Jue's DNA stirred.
This is an old rival, in every sense of the word.
Since we're talking about fleecing, we should definitely start by fleecing the fattest sheep that we can take without feeling guilty!
However, Zhou Jue did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he focused his consciousness into his mind and directly issued instructions to the system.
"Hey, are you there? Do you have a function similar to a 'treasure compass'?"
"Is it the kind of function that can detect where the most energy-dense 'treasures' are located globally?"
[Ding! The 'Global Energy Sensing' function meets the host's requirements.]
The system responded quickly, as always.
This is a basic detection service. Each activation consumes 100 points and can continuously scan for 24 hours. Activate?
Only 100 points!
Zhou Jue's mood instantly brightened.
She currently has 29,900 points in her account, so this amount of spending is nothing!
Compared to those god-level items that cost hundreds of thousands or millions, this function is dirt cheap!
If this had happened in the past, she might have felt a little heartache.
But now, she is a major general with "national special funds" in her hands!
The landscape has changed!
"Start! Start immediately!"
Zhou Jue confirmed without hesitation.
The next second, the ordinary world map on the tablet screen in her hand suddenly underwent a strange change.
A pale golden ripple spread rapidly from the location of the forest where they were, covering the entire map of the earth in an instant!
Immediately afterwards, certain areas on the map began to light up with dots of varying sizes and colors.
Some of the points of light were dim, like starlight, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Some are as bright as the moon, their light dazzling!
These points of light undoubtedly represent items that contain special energy!
Zhou Jue and Cheng Gan involuntarily held their breath, their eyes instantly drawn to this amazing sight.
On the map, the area with the densest concentration of glowing dots is precisely the land beneath their feet!
Hundreds and thousands of points of light shone like stars in the sky, bringing Zhou Jue a sense of peace.
Having a solid financial foundation gives you confidence!
In addition, globally, most of the points of light are located within the territories of ancient civilizations with long histories.
Among them, a few points of light stood out so brightly that they were dazzling!
In the pyramid area of Eniro, the light is as intense as the sun, displaying a dazzling gold color, as if containing endless majesty and ancient power.
Deep within an ancient castle in Europe, the light emanated an eerie dark red, carrying an ominous and malevolent aura that sent chills down one's spine at first glance.
Another one, deep in the Amazon rainforest of the Americas, shimmers with a vibrant emerald green light, brimming with the breath of life.
And closest to them, there was a bright ball of light, sitting precisely on the map of the Sakura Country!
The light was a strange silvery-white, pure and magnificent, illuminating almost the entire island nation.
"That's it!"
Zhou Jue and Cheng Gan exchanged a glance and spoke in unison.
The goal is self-evident.
Cheng Gan is extremely efficient. Once she identified her target, she immediately took out two sealed bags from her backpack.
"Put it on."
Inside the bag were two sets of casual clothes with completely different styles, along with matching wigs, colored contact lenses, hats, and other disguise props. After they changed, Cheng Gan used tools to apply and sculpt their faces.
Zhou Jue looked at himself in the mirror, with his long, wavy brown hair and black-rimmed glasses, and almost didn't recognize himself.
Cheng Gan, on the other hand, has transformed into a sophisticated urban woman with short, ear-length hair and a cool demeanor.
After changing their clothes, the two transformed completely, becoming unrecognizable from their previous appearances.
What's even more incredible is that Cheng Gan then produced two more passports and identification documents.
The photos above show what they look like after their transformation, complete with their names, ages, and hometowns.
"It's specially made by the state, registered in the database, and valid worldwide. You can search it anywhere." Cheng Gan's explanations were always concise and efficient.
Zhou Jue held the brand-new ID card in his hand, feeling a wonderful texture between his fingertips.
This is the power of a nation.
To turn fiction into reality, and the impossible into an unhindered privilege.
That was awesome!
Instead of taking a helicopter directly into the country, they went to a border city first, and then, like two ordinary tourists, with valid identification, they passed through customs and boarded a flight to Japan.
After the plane landed, the two found a five-star hotel in a prime location and checked in.
The hotel window faces the direction of the mountain range with the strongest energy response.
"System, scan the hotel rooms to see if there are any hidden surveillance devices," Zhou Jue ordered in his mind.
[Scan complete. No eavesdropping or surveillance devices found. Safe.]
very good.
The two stood by the window, observing the distant mountains through high-powered binoculars.
The area was shrouded in mist, resembling a scenic spot, and attracted many tourists.
"Sister Cheng Gan, shall we take action tonight?" Zhou Jue couldn't contain himself.
Cheng Gan shook his head.
She reached out and drew the curtains.
No rush.
“We just arrived and are unfamiliar with the area. Moving too hastily could leave us vulnerable. Besides, look outside, there are so many tourists. If we are photographed by night hikers, it will be very troublesome.”
Zhou Jue thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
“Besides…” Cheng Gan’s lips curled up, a smile with a hint of something else in it: “Aren’t we here for tourism? We should at least act like tourists.”
Zhou Jue immediately understood what she meant.
Pretending to be a tourist is no problem.
Caught on camera? Impossible!
"Sister Cheng Gan, look!" She opened her hand, and two pale yellow talismans appeared out of thin air in her palm.
The talisman paper was decorated with intricate and mysterious patterns drawn in cinnabar, emanating a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
"What is this?" Cheng Gan's gaze was completely drawn to it.
“Good stuff.” Zhou proudly waved the talisman in his hand.
"This is called an 'invisibility charm'."
"As the name suggests, once applied, it can make our figures disappear in the eyes of ordinary people."
This item was redeemed from the system shop. It's a low-tier law-type item that can be activated by inputting spiritual energy. Each one only costs 10 points, making it cheap and useful.
The price-performance ratio is absolutely amazing!
As Cheng Gan looked at the two thin talismans, this seasoned captain of the Cheetah Commando Team, who was used to seeing big scenes, showed a clear emotion called "wavering" for the first time in his eyes.
Invisibility?
She suddenly realized that her previous professional concerns about risk assessment and operational loopholes seemed ridiculous at this moment.
Going on a mission with Zhou Jue is something that cannot be judged by common sense!
"Let's go out for a walk first, then come back early to rest and recharge!" Cheng Gan quickly adjusted his mindset and accepted this surreal scenario.
"Set another alarm."
Zhou Jue added, "We'll depart at 2 a.m.
