Professor Qin looked at Boss Bai.
He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
The fear in Boss Bai’s eyes when he talked about the earthquakes, hurricanes, and poisonous scorpions was real.
No matter what, Boss Bai would not rent his plane to him.
Professor Qin walked out of Boss Bai’s office dejectedly.
The previous pilot he hired at a high price pulled out because he was afraid of the sandstorm.
Even after using all his connections, he could not find a replacement pilot.
Fortunately, he met Su Chen.
Not only did the young man have impressive skills, but he was also brave and made others feel safe.
Bringing him along for the expedition was ideal.
He would surely be an asset.
The professor’s heart was filled with joy.
He thought things were finally going smoothly.
Unexpectedly, he ran into another wall.
The leasing company had refused to rent him a plane because of the current danger in the Ramakan Desert.
Furthermore, the whole internet had been making a big fuss out of the situation.
There were also bizarre statements of people spotting mutated species.
Due to how abnormal things had been, that may not be a complete lie.
Some even said that an alien invasion would occur.
As an archaeologist, Professor Qin naturally did not believe those claims.
However, the public had a different opinion.
Additionally, all kinds of disaster videos flooded the internet.
Some of them were obviously made up to gain popularity or scare people.
Despite that, there would always be gullible people.
Basically, this was a complicated matter.
Professor Qin was completely exhausted.
In fact, he almost gave up on the expedition.
‘Maybe I should just go back and work for the travel industry again.
‘I guess I have to announce the cancellation of this scientific expedition.
‘So be it.’
On the other hand, Su Chen had just landed the plane.
The feeling of flying in the sky was still pretty good.
Naturally, Su Chen received full marks and passed the assessment.
“Sir, with your skills, you must have been a fighter jet pilot, right?”
The co-pilot immediately complimented Su Chen once the assessment was over.
However, just as he finished speaking, he vomited!
It was because Su Chen had spun the plane too much.
That made him dizzy and nauseous.
Meanwhile, Su Chen remained indifferent.
He did not feel uncomfortable at all and had already completely adapted to it.
The trip to the desert would definitely not be a problem.
Su Chen was thinking of urging Professor Qin to quickly pack his things so they could set off as soon as possible.
At that moment, Professor Qin walked out of the office with a solemn expression on his face.
Before Su Chen could ask anything, Professor Qin said, “Mr. Su, I’m sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing. Let’s pack up. We’re not going to the desert. The boss of the leasing company thinks that the place we’re going to is too dangerous. He’s not renting us the plane.”
Su Chen could have guessed this based on Professor Qin’s expression.
Even the leasing company was causing them problems.
However, this was not a problem for Su Chen.
‘They won’t rent us a plane?
‘That’s not a problem.
‘I’ll just buy it.’
Upon thinking that, Su Chen said to the professor, “Professor Qin, wait here for a moment,”
Then, he went to a corner where there was no one and made a phone call.
“Hello, Xiao Lee? Take the required gold bars and transfer the 20 million dollars to my account. Get it done in ten minutes.”
Su Chen said in an aloof manner.
“Okay, Boss Su. Please wait a moment. ‘Ll get it done right away!”
Although Su Chen’s attitude was cold, the person on the other end of the phone sounded overjoyed.
Apparently, in addition to buying the necessary equipment yesterday, Su Chen had used his skill of turning stone into gold to produce a lot of gold bars.
He stored them all in the gold store and made an agreement with the owner to exchange the gold bars for money whenever he wanted.
The price would be according to whatever gold was worth that day.
If Su Chen did not want to exchange the gold bars for money, he could also retrieve them at any time.
Of course, he also had to pay a small storage fee.
The owner of the gold store was elated.
There were tons of gold in his shop.
If Su Chen exchanged them for cash casually just like the current situation, he would earn a large sum of money.
Basically, business was booming!
Su Chen hung up the call after less than two minutes.
Before long, his phone rang.
“Ding dong, you have received 20 million dollars!”
A faint smile appeared on his face.
‘This is really efficient.’
Su Chen walked back to Professor Qin who was busy sighing with his assistant.
He said, “Professor Qin, go and sit in the departure lounge first. I’ll talk to the boss of the rental company.”
Professor Qin tried to dissuade Su Chen, but it was pointless.
Su Chen was already heading to Boss Bai’s office.
At the same time, Boss Bai noticed that Professor Qin and his group had yet to leave.
Moreover, Su Chen was walking towards his office.
He thought that the young man was coming to persuade him to rent the plane.
‘I don’t have time for this.’
Boss Bai did not want Su Chen to even enter his office, so he got up and went to close the door.
He also kept his grip on the door handle.
Shortly after, he heard Su Chen’s voice.
“Boss, can you give me a price for your plane?”
Su Chen did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Boss Bai did not expect this and was completely taken aback.
He was at a loss for words.
Regardless, he opened the door.
The young man was standing right in front of him.
Since Su Chen was way taller, he had to literally look down at the fat man and wait for his reply.

Boss Bai finally came back to his senses.
He said to Su Chen in disdain, “Sir, stop joking. This is a plane, not a car! If you want to buy a car, go out and turn left. There’s a car dealership nearby. They sell both cheap and expensive cars. I’m a little busy right now. Sorry!”
Then, Boss Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Chen. He raised his hand and took a puff off the cigar in his hand.
“The one I tested earlier was a little old and unsafe. The blue plane next to it seems better. Name your price!”
Su Chen did not want to waste any more time than necessary..
