Chapter 105: Larvis Hotel

"Sun Cheng!"

As soon as this woman stood up, Sun Cheng's brows couldn't help but twitch.

He had previously felt that this woman was very tall, and although women appear taller in high heels and she was indeed wearing a pair, the moment she stood up, Sun Cheng had the illusion that "she is as tall as I am."

Sun Cheng still remembered that staring fixedly at someone was very impolite, so after a brief glance, he shifted his gaze slightly away.

But when his gaze inadvertently swept over the lace choker worn around her fair, delicate neck, or more precisely, the blue crystal the size of a thumb nail embedded in that lace choker.

In an instant, Sun Cheng felt his heart thump violently, and the Spherical Space hidden somewhere within his body sent out an inexplicable throb to him for the first time, "Get it..."

"Huh!"

As if it were an illusion, once Sun Cheng reacted and shifted his gaze elsewhere, his mood calmed down, as if that sudden emotional fluctuation just now had been a fantasy.

However, when he turned his attention back to the blue crystal on Ada Wong's choker, a more intense desire for plunder and possession quickly stimulated his eyes until they were somewhat bloodshot.

"Hey..."

"Hey..."

This time, it took quite a bit of effort for him to successfully shift his gaze elsewhere.

When Sun Cheng came back to his senses, he realized that although the woman in front of him still had a slight smile on her face, her eyes couldn't stop looking at his right hand, which was still tightly clenched.

"Excuse me!"

Sun Cheng hurriedly apologized and let go of her hand, though his brows were faintly knitted into a knot.

Come to think of it, it had been a while since he obtained the Spherical Space, and as for this golden finger that was crucial to him, Sun Cheng had not failed to study the Spherical Space in his spare time while in the other world.

It was just that later, upon discovering that every time he entered the Spherical Space with his soul it cost two hundred points of energy, rather than wasting it only when traveling to another world, the cautious him did not conduct further research afterward.

Although his exploration of the Spherical Space was not thorough, Sun Cheng did know one thing: that Spherical Space, which seemed to be hidden within his soul, was very magical.

Moreover, unless he initiated an Awakening to enter the space, it had never once actively contacted him.

This kind of inexplicable reaction now really gave him a start.

Although he didn't know what the situation was, Sun Cheng really couldn't bring himself to rob someone of their money or belongings upon first meeting, especially when the other party was a woman.

Sun Cheng could only keep this matter in his heart, but he dared not look at the neck of the young woman in front of him who called herself "Ada Wong," and said apologetically: "I was a bit distracted thinking about something just now, please forgive my rudeness."

It just so happened that the flight attendant brought the black tea she had ordered at this moment, which broke the awkwardness.

Ada Wong looked at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, then nodded and sat back in her seat, looking as if she didn't want to chat with him anymore.

The plane soon announced takeoff, but unfortunately, he had clearly underestimated the wariness of this woman named Ada Wong.

Before the plane arrived in Panama City, although he tried several times to take the initiative to chat with her, he only received indifferent responses.

After a few such attempts, Sun Cheng had to temporarily extinguish the idea of inquiring about information regarding 【Jurassic Park】 from her, and closed his eyes for a nap.

More than ten hours later, the plane finally arrived in Panama City.

Sun Cheng had thought that Ada Wong would be like him and choose to take a flight directly from the Jichang in Panama City to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica; who would have thought that she would leave the Jichang directly and be picked up by a car.

Panama was not like China after all; he was a stranger in a strange land, and especially in Central America, where not only were drugs rampant, but the military government was in power, and it was incredibly chaotic.

Sun Cheng could only watch helplessly as she drove away, extinguishing the thought of continuing to follow her.

Panama and Costa Rica were neighboring countries, and these two countries combined were not as large as a single province in China, so besides airplanes, rail, passenger transport, and waterways made travel between them quite convenient.

However, Sun Cheng had checked before coming that Panama's political situation had been unstable for the past two years, with tourists being kidnapped and killed from time to time. He had Hanyi and Revenge by his side, so although he was not afraid, he did not want to cause any more trouble.

So he booked a ticket to San Jose for later that evening at the Jichang, delayed for two or three hours, and by the time the plane landed in San Jose, the sky was already dark.

"... Sir, take my car..."

"Boss, take my car. I know San Jose well, I know where all the fun places are..."

"..."

After coming out of the San Jose Jichang, not long after pushing his suitcase to the main entrance, he was surrounded by a bunch of taxi drivers outside, each speaking fluent Spanish and English, trying to pull him into their cars.

Sun Cheng frowned and interrupted a middle-aged driver who was about to forcibly grab the suitcase from his hand to move it to his car, and asked in English: "I'm going to the Larvis Hotel, does anyone know the place?"

"... I know..."

Immediately, a tall, sturdy driver with a towel hanging around his neck squeezed over and happily picked up his suitcase: "Boss, come with me, I know that place. It's twenty thousand Colon from here!"

This sounded scary, but Sun Cheng had checked before coming that the Colon was the legal currency of Costa Rica, and the exchange rate with the US dollar was about one US dollar to five hundred fifty or sixty Colon; in other words, it was only thirty or forty US dollars.

Back in China, for the convenience of travel, Sun Cheng had exchanged two thousand US dollars in small denominations to carry with him.

So, although he didn't know if this person was overcharging, he didn't know where the place was himself, so he had to follow him into that taxi, "Drive fast, I don't have any Colon on me, I'll pay in US dollars later!"

"Alright!"

That tall, sturdy Costa Rican driver grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth blackened and yellowed by tobacco leaves; clearly, an international currency like the US dollar was very popular in Costa Rica.

It is said that when traveling abroad, no matter the region or country, taxi drivers are always the most talkative, and this guy confirmed that saying once again.

Since he got into the car, this guy's mouth hadn't stopped, "Sir, are you Japanese?"

Hearing this, Sun Cheng couldn't help but frown.

Although China had had President Yu Chen defy the heavens and change its fate since the Wuchang Uprising, snatching back a hundred years of national fortune for China, this island nation of Japan really could not be underestimated.

In the first twenty years of the Republic of China, China and Japan fought three wars of national destiny; Japan lost two land battles but re-proved the reputation of the number one navy in Asia in that great sea battle, which could not be insulted.

After the national policy of moving north was no longer possible, they adjusted briefly and then turned to march into the Nanyang, accumulating twenty years of step-by-step swallowing, from the Southeast Peninsula to the East Indies; if not for Japan's arrogance in wanting to swallow Malacca and Aodaliya during World War II, and competing with the United States for hegemony in the Pacific Ocean, eventually getting trapped in World War II, it is hard to say whether China, which was strangled in the first island chain, could have developed in a short period of time.

So what if they were defeated in World War II? After the US military fought to the death with nearly two million American soldiers on the Pacific islands and Aodaliya to retake Aodaliya, didn't they still cave in and sign a ceasefire agreement with them?

Post-war Japan developed rapidly relying on decades of colonial plunder. As an old established power, the influence of the Japanese internationally was indeed higher than that of China.

"I am Chinese!"

After Sun Cheng replied flatly, he had no interest in continuing to talk, and kept his eyes closed to rest along the way, until the car had been driving for twenty minutes and finally stopped, only then did he open his eyes to look outside the car.

Not far away, a building with only seven floors was in front, and the hotel sign was very eye-catching in the flashing neon lights; looking closely, wasn't it the Larvis Hotel!

ps:

Only one update today!

Sorry, I encountered some trouble in reality and stopped updating for two days.

Let me explain briefly: a major business deal at the company ran into trouble. Since it had already been stamped when it passed through us, I didn't check it carefully and gave the notice to ship. As a result, the blame was dumped on me, and I had no choice but to take the fall. I took a beating for a few days, paid for the shipping fees and damages out of my own pocket to reship the goods, and also had to drink with clients for three days. I was worn down to the bone, and my performance bonus for the first half of the year is gone too. I can only start making up for the updates I missed these past few days by finding time starting tomorrow.
