As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 656: The Air Show Begins! (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Chao shook his head lightly and said mysteriously, “I won’t tell you for now. You’ll find out later!”

“Psh!” Si Cong and Hou Ting were speechless.

As the group chatted, the helicopter had already arrived in the urban area of Zhuhai.

“Are we here?” Watching the increasingly distinct buildings outside the window, Si Cong knew they were about to reach their destination.

Soon, the helicopter successfully landed.

When Si Cong and the others got off the helicopter, they were startled by the surroundings.

Various aircraft, helicopters, and even tanks came into view. They even saw two helicopters of the same model they had just ridden.

Hou Ting and Si Cong understood why Zhou Chao had said that earlier.

“Is this the air show center?” Si Cong couldn’t believe his eyes. Even if someone told him this was a military base, he would believe it.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes approached Zhou Chao and the others.

“Mr. Zhou Chao?” The middle-aged man walked up to Zhou Chao and hesitantly called out.

“That’s me.”

Upon receiving Zhou Chao’s confirmation, the middle-aged man’s attitude became much more respectful. “Mr. Zhou, I’m a staff member of the air show center. Please follow me!”

Zhou Chao knew why this middle-aged man was waiting for him there, but when he thought of Si Cong and the others, he looked at the middle-aged man and said, “Arrange for someone to take my friends to the venue.”

“No problem, Mr. Zhou. Please follow me!”

Then Zhou Chao and his group followed the middle-aged man towards the exhibition center. When they entered the air show center, the middle-aged man arranged for a staff member to take Si Cong and the others to the exhibition area.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao followed the middle-aged man deeper into the air show center.

After walking for about three or four minutes, they arrived at a door that resembled a box.

The middle-aged man gently opened the door and then made a welcoming gesture. “Mr. Zhou, please come in. They will be here soon!”

Zhou Chao pushed open the door and walked in. The room was particularly large, about 80 square meters in size, with floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside the window, there were two runways.

He walked to the sofa by the window and sat down, looking out the window, searching for something interesting.

After looking for a while, he couldn’t find anything interesting.

“Ah, I wonder when they’ll arrive!” Zhou Chao sighed with boredom.

As for why he was here, it was arranged by Mr. Wang specifically yesterday, just to let him be a negotiator.

As a negotiator, there must be corresponding targets, and the target was Abdullah. Zhou Chao couldn’t figure out why things had become so complicated.

“Well, forget it, I won’t think about it. Let’s take it one step at a time!” Thinking about himself, a person who knew nothing about military affairs, acting as a negotiator, he felt absurd.

Bored, Zhou Chao could only open the system and start playing. He tidied up his system repository and then remembered that he hadn’t checked in for a while.

“System check-in!”

“Check-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained artificial intelligence technology!”

Upon hearing the system’s prompt, Zhou Chao’s brows instantly furrowed.

“Artificial intelligence technology? How advanced can this thing be? Can it be as intelligent as J.A.R.V.I.S. in Iron Man?”

Zhou Chao waited for a while but didn’t receive a response from the system. He then looked at the system repository.

He saw something resembling a silver-white USB lying quietly in the repository.

Just as he was about to take it out to examine, he heard the door open. He quickly turned around and saw several familiar figures walking in.

“Oh, Zhou, what are you doing here? When did you arrive?” It was Abdullah.

Beside him was a figure Zhou Chao was very familiar with, Wang Bin, who had been with Mr. Wang before.

“I just arrived not long ago. The opening ceremony ended!” Zhou Chao also stood up from the sofa, smiling nervously.

“Isn’t the aerobatic performance about to start soon? Mr. Wen invited me to come and see. He said there would be surprises. Mr. Wen, is the surprise you mentioned Zhou?”

Abdullah looked at Wang Bin with a puzzled expression.

“Of course not. You’ll find out soon!” Wang Bin said mysteriously.

Abdullah could only suppress his doubts and sat down beside Zhou Chao.

At that moment, there was a light knock on the door, and then the door opened.

Three beautiful female staff members walked in with some fruits, snacks, and tea.

“Zhou, have you been to the exhibition hall?”

“I came here directly after arriving at the air show center. I haven’t had time to look around. What’s up?”

“Just now, during the opening ceremony, I heard from the organizers that this year’s air show has more than 740 companies from 43 countries (regions) participating. There are many new and interesting things. Let’s go take a look after watching the aerobatic performance!”

“Sure, I’m curious too. It might sound funny, but this is actually my first time attending an air show. I used to just watch it online!”

As Zhou Chao finished speaking, they heard exclamations coming from outside the window. They quickly turned their gaze to the window.

Meanwhile, Wang Bin had a smug expression on his face, as if he already knew what was happening outside.

At the end of the runway, four fighter jets appeared in their field of vision.

“T-That’s the J-20!” Zhou Chao, now standing by the window, exclaimed, completely leaving the sofa and pressing against the glass window.

Even Abdullah hurried to the window, his eyes shining as he stared at the four fighter jets on the runway.

Two thunderous roars sounded, and they saw the J-20 taxiing, accelerating, and finally taking off in one seamless motion.

Watching the aircraft glide past before him, Zhou Chao’s heart was racing with excitement.

“If only I could take a few laps myself, that would be awesome!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“Zhou, do you think they sell the J-20?” Abdullah also gazed longingly out the window.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao glanced back at Wang Bin, who shook his head gently.

“Uh… I don’t think they sell it.”

Abdullah didn’t feel too disappointed either; he was just asking tentatively.

“Yeah, if the J-20 were for sale, I bet your Huaxia military industry would have already developed the second or third-generation models!”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao smiled awkwardly. However, what Abdullah said was true; after all, it’s been our tradition.

The group stood quietly by the window, watching the J-20 soaring freely in the sky, performing various thrilling maneuvers such as dual-plane head-on passes, single-plane rolls, and aerial acrobatics with four aircraft, eliciting exclamations from the onlookers.

The aerobatic performance lasted for about half an hour, during which some active aircraft made their first appearance, including the Yun-20, Z-20, Z-10, and drones, providing a visual feast for everyone.

“Zhou, are you familiar with those last few drones?” Abdullah asked Zhou Chao excitedly.

Zhou Chao paused for a moment and then looked at Wang Bin beside him.

“Mr. Abdullah, there are drone displays in the Huaxia area of the air show center. Shall we go take a look?” Wang Bin quickly suggested.

“Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll go now.”

With that, the group left the box and headed towards the air show center.

Upon arriving at the air show center, Zhou Chao was captivated by the array of equipment.

There were ballistic missiles, laser anti-aircraft weapons, vector engines, and more, which left Zhou Chao feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Soon, they reached the Huaxia area’s exhibition stand, where Abdullah was immediately fascinated by the various drones.

Zhou Chao also carefully examined them, feeling his heart race as he looked at the various missile models.

When Zhou Chao snapped out of it, he found Abdullah already seated at a table with Wang Bin, accompanied by an explanatory staff member.

Seeing Abdullah and his entourage nodding from time to time, Zhou Chao felt a bit superfluous here.

Shaking his head, Zhou Chao still plucked up the courage to approach and listen to what they were talking about.

“Get me three hundred Rainbow 4B drones first, and also bring some TB001 drones and production lines!”

Listening to Abdullah’s extravagant and heartless words, Zhou Chao decisively turned away..
