Chapter 1151: Chapter 887: Which Pill to Choose
Xu Cheng lay on the couch, feeling groggy, probably due to the emotional upheaval. In her dream of the White Giant Tower, a sinister phantom appeared, like a lingering ghost quietly observing her.
But she was more concerned about her little Grayhound shuttle machine; once it was wrecked, she couldn’t leave Jialong Slope to deliver parcels. Thinking of this, she felt tense and especially fatigued.
Bai Jiayi appeared anxious, patting Xu Cheng and solemnly taking out two pills.
“I know many people have nightmares after the ‘Heavenly Tribulation’. Guests have complained before; are you the sa?” Bai Jiayi asked.
“Hmm…” Xu Cheng weakly nodded. In her dreams, there was the illusion of the White Giant Tower, ever-changing.
“I prepared two pills for you. Guests who’ve taken them say they’re good. One is the ‘Cloud Nine’ Directional mory Attenuator, made by Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing. It can selectively erase certain mories by manipulating brain neurons to achieve forgetfulness, erasing unpleasant mories, and keeping you from having nightmares. I take it myself all the ti to forget about my grandson’s matters. The other is the ‘Inspiration Enhancer’, from Nestor Corporation, a big brand. Its effects are completely opposite; it makes you have more nightmares, and your dreams beco more disturbing, but your mind will be clearer during the day, better than feeling groggy all the ti.” Bai Jiayi displayed the two pills to Xu Cheng.
The blue pill was the ‘Cloud Nine’ Directional mory Attenuator, allowing people to forget everything and not have nightmares, which was very popular now.
The red pill was the Inspiration Enhancer. Besides what the old lady ntioned, Xu Cheng rembered it could also enhance magic power growth, making the mind more active, a clarity drug from Nestor Corporation.
“Quack quack…” Xu Cheng weakly took the red pill and popped it into her mouth.
She would not forget, absolutely not; she intended to battle reality to the end.
As soon as her tongue touched the red pill, a sharp tallic taste filled her nostrils, but Xu Cheng swallowed it in one go. The pill burned like fire in her throat, then dropped into her stomach.
Within seconds, Xu Cheng felt the dizziness plaguing her disappear. She sat up, shook her head, feeling clear-minded and full of vigor—indeed effective!
Magic power surged like a torrent within her, but what ca with it were nightmare-like visions, flashing by, ready to erge when Xu Cheng was vulnerable. She shivered.
“In that case, rember, the past is gone, and the future is for you to create.” Grandma Bai Jiayi nodded to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng cald her frantic heartbeat, turned her head to see Bubble, Lianhua, and Shahua already ard, ready to head to the port to check on the little Grayhound.
She nodded slightly to Bai Jiayi, then sprinted out, heading for the aerospace port.
When they arrived at the vast port, the wrecked little Grayhound on the empty apron was unmistakably conspicuous.
Xu Cheng spotted her shuttle machine’s smoldering wreck at first glance, flas licking its twisted tal corpse.
Little Grayhound…
Xu Cheng felt her heart breaking. She dashed over, Bubble also felt like being struck on the head, while Lianhua and Shahua followed with furrowed brows, holding rifles.
“Gone! Everything’s gone!” Bubble approached the shuttle wreckage, despairingly jumping in place.
Xu Cheng said nothing, her throat tightened, the strong sll of smoke and leaking fuel stung her eyes. The little Grayhound shuttle machine was completely shattered, the broken fuselage turned into scattered pieces, sharp tal fragnts falling everywhere.

“How did this happen—did Daniel personally punch it to pieces?” Lianhua shouted, checking the scene with this guess in mind. The answer was shocking. If Daniel Wu indeed acted personally, then his chanical fist must have been too heavy.
Xu Cheng held her head, squatted on the ground, and remained still.
“Ah!” Bubble saw Xu Cheng like this, extrely worried. Whenever Xu Cheng encountered sothing too extre, she would fall into a withdrawn state, possibly hiding in a corner for hours without moving.
Bubble quickly took out her phone with trembling hands, connecting to the port bureau office line: “Hello! Hello!”
“Welco to the Jialong Slope Port Area Security Bureau.” A young woman’s voice ca from the other end of the line.
“Our shuttle machine left at the port area was exploded by soone! Please, please send soone to take a look. Our shuttle machine was detained at the aerospace port, but when we ca back, it was blown up… Please help!” Said Bubble, despondently.
“This is the Security Bureau’s ergency service. Vehicle damage is not within our jurisdiction. You need to contact your own vehicle insurance company to report the incident.”
“But it was wrecked here in the port’s public impound lot, there must be surveillance footage capturing who did it, and that way you’d know who the perpetrator is, and you could catch them, right?” Bubble asked sorrowfully.
Their insurance was on the Northern Archipelago, and to claim it, they needed to return, but without a shuttle machine, they couldn’t return, thus creating a paradox.
