Chapter 743: Memory Pen
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The implication behind Sheyan's words was the same as when he offered it to the surveillance camera. However, this time, with the same person but a different location, it brought drastically different effects.
For example, the author would be able to say 'Hi' to a random girl five years ago, before initiating a romantic scenario at the usual place followed by unrestrained callings, and the girl would very forthrightly agree. Yet if the author did that now, the only response he would get is 'scram'.
(ED: Golden analogies. Should probably come up with a title for Mr. Author…)
Right now, he was like a mother talking to kids.... Though he appeared more gentle and refined with a warm smile on his face, his words sent the two executives shivering all over.
A bolder executive coughed and attempted to reason righteously.
"What do you guys want?! This is a law abiding society and you guys have trespassed on private property...."
Sheyan didn't tarry along and proceeded to scoop up the executive's ankle, before suspending him by the edge of the building. With a slight smile, he said.
"Woah gentleman, I must disagree with your words."
The executive struggled violently in mid-air and wailed bitterly like a dying pig. How could he find the courage to complete his sentence? One must understand, this was the freaking 43rd floor!
While suspended upside down, cash notes, a lighter, cigarettes, and a phone slipped out from his pockets, while spewing only meaningless wails from his mouth.
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders as he adopted a tone of ridicule.
"Gentlemen, your reluctance to cooperate has led to a great loss in time and finances. In addition to the threat to our lives, so I regret to inform, you must compensate for your prior actions."
The only executive was still in shock, the one losing time and finances was themselves! Yet he didn't dare to speak the words in his heart; besides, from witnessing all these, how could he?
Instead, the suspended executive cried out in utmost panic.
"I'll give, I'll give! Whatever your request, I'll give! Just say how much you want!"
Sheyan then pulled him back in and scoffed.
"What I want isn't cash. Apart from my own requirements, we'll also need to judge your sincerity."
The two crestfallen executives quickly discussed for a while, and finally offered numerous remunerations under Sheyan's coercion.
Needless to say, they managed to acquire the 'Alpha Spraymist' and the research lab coordinates of Jurassic Park.
Apart from those, Sheyan also received two throwable offense items – 'Flagellum Pterodactyl Embryo' and 'Catalyzing Spraymist'.
Those two items were the latest research accomplishments of the company. The first was that repulsive substance that Test-subject 3 used. It contained a massive load of dreadful parasitic bugs.
The second item was a spraymist that modelled the odour of a Tyrannosaurus, which provided two possibilities upon spray – either the dinosaur one was facing would flee at the mere scent, or pursue you to hell…..
The contestants valued those two items favourably, while the two executives of the Sando Company treated them as corporate spies. After all, if the two products landed in the hands of their competitors, it could fetch an exorbitant price....
The most surprising thing was a rare soul equipment they chanced upon as well. According to the two executives, it was left behind by a mutant who was slain by the laser channel.
That mutant possessed shocking speed and nimbleness, managing to survive even when horizon beams of laser swept through. In the end, the furious executives had to activate web laser mode and mince him into mincemeat.
However, when clearing up the mess, they discovered a pen which intrigued an executive dearly. He thus retained this pen that even the laser could not destroy. Nevertheless, there wasn't anything special about that pen.
When Sheyan examined it, he realized the pen was extremely mediocre looking. It had a grey metallic cap and a plastic black surface; faded from the many years of usage. Still, there remained a tiny vestige of black ink atop the white point of the pen. The word 'hero' was engraved onto the pen.
His nightmare imprint displayed the following notification.
[ Soul Equipment: Memory Pen ]
What surprised Sheyan more was Zi. She only heard of soul equipments before and this was actually her first time encountering one, as her enchanting eyes revealed a sense of curiosity.
When the two executives noticed the intrigue in her eyes, they immediately flushed with delight but quietly waited.
Even after a long while of examining, these bunch of strangers were still engrossed in the pen. This also showed their chance of survival was increasing.
As they probed with their nightmare imprints, the properties of the soul equipment was revealed.

[ Detail: To activate this soul equipment, you must accomplish a mission ]
This equipment seemed great for Brother Black, nevertheless, his explosive strike rate and stunning rate was already outstanding. Moreover, he could summon his viperwolves. Thus, the covering property of this 'Memory Pen' wouldn't be beneficial for him. Also, MP wasn't a huge problem for him as well.
Therefore, the 'Memory Pen' was naturally more suited for Zi.
However, Zi remained mighty and arrogant. Feeling indebted to the trio for rescuing her, she refused to accept it.
Since they've achieved their objectives, the contestant quartet didn't tarry any longer. They directly exploited the helicopter and flew off, which at least won them some time.
According to information obtained earlier, the fastest way to get to Jurassic Park wasn't by air but underwater. This was due to the relatively large probability of being assaulted by avaricious Pterodactyls.
One didn't need to elaborate much on how terrifying Pterodactyls were, where only Awakeners could confront them directly. Furthermore, Pterodactyls travelled in flocks! If not for the Pterodactyls disliking urbanized or inland forest habitats, due to their expansive wingspans of 7-8 metres which made it tough to hunt in forests, the dinosaur disaster zone would've been enlarged by 2-3 times!
After riding the helicopter for roughly 400 kilometres and leaving the safe zone, the gang of four then transferred to a high speed rail leaving for the nearest port to Jurassic Park island.....
Upon sighting the great ocean, Sheyan felt a sense of intimacy. Even Reef and Brother Black felt a sense of warm nostalgia towards the sea, which caused Zi to be pretty perplexed.
After all, back in the Caribbean Sea World, they rode an invincible quasi-legendary pirate ship that could sweep all contestants aside!
Even Zeus and his Glory Party would have to flee at the mere sight of Sheyan commanding his quasi-legendary ship!
With Zi's connections, the gang of four soon procured a submarine. The submarine was previously manufactured for military use but after it was decommissioned, it underwent certain remodelling and became employed in shallow waters for fields of research. Nevertheless, it was in pretty adequate condition.
The ride to Jurassic Park was roughly 5-8 hours. Thus, the group would be able to rejuvenate and recuperate while resting in their cabin.
Roughly two hours into the voyage, this grand submarine suddenly shuddered violently.
Stainless steel mugs clinked against each other and the submarine walls, but were held firmly by the supports.
The cabin the contestant quartet resided in was exceedingly narrow; double deck beds analogous to a train cabin. Each bed only offered a bedhead lamp and a pillow, which sufficed as a rather miserable personal space.
When the submarine shuddered violently, numerous objects placed on the beds crashed to the floor clamorously.
