Chapter 491: Chapter 234 The Road to Legend_2 Chapter 491: Chapter 234 The Road to Legend_2 Lu Pingping curiously leaned over and saw an aerial photo displayed on Yan Fei’s computer screen. In this photo, a yellow sand dam encircled and isolated the sea water surrounding it, revealing the hard black rock inside. The clarity between the inside and outside of the dam was stark, giving it an incredibly strange appearance.
A contemplative expression appeared on Lu Pingping’s face. After thinking for a mont, she asked, “Where was this photo taken? How co I’ve never seen it before?”
Lu Pingping also liked to travel and had studied so of the world’s famous landmarks, so she was very familiar with world geography. However, in her mory, she had never heard of such a place. Its uniqueness was such that she would have certainly rembered if she had seen it, prompting her question.
Yan Fei smiled slightly and said, “Pingping, although you have never seen this place with your own eyes, you must have heard of its na.”
After thinking for a while, Lu Pingping shook her head and replied, “I really can’t rember when I’ve heard of this place.”
Yan Fei said, “Think carefully. I previously bought an archipelago and even got laughed at for it. What’s the na of that archipelago?”
Lu Pingping was taken aback and instinctively said, “This is Misty Island? How is that possible? Although I have never personally seen Misty Island, I looked up information on it not long ago and saw so of its photos. In those photos, Misty Island consists of more than a hundred small islands, with neither this much solid land nor a speck of sedint. How could such a spectacular yellow sand dam exist?”
Yan Fei explained, “Pingping, in this world, many mysterious events occur every day, most of which cannot be explained with scientific theories. My Misty Island is one of them. You should know that Misty Island used to comprise 108 islands, each one not very large. But in the past few decades, that territorial sea area started to sink for no apparent reason, causing the islands’ area to shrink drastically. Recently, so islands even disappeared from the sea surface. Experts have studied the area before, but nobody understands what force is causing this sinking. That’s part of the mystery of Misty Island.”
Having heard Yan Fei’s words, Lu Pingping’s face showed a thoughtful look, as if she had grasped a major point.
Yan Fei continued, “During the days I’ve been away from Shanghai, I actually visited Misty Island. Ever since I learned that this sea area was continuously sinking, I wavered, thinking about whether I should give up on it. However, on this trip, I discovered the island’s subsidence had suddenly stopped. Not only that, but a sea dam surfaced from the ocean floor, covered with yellow sand. Inside this yellow sand dam, the sea water seed to have vanished elsewhere, revealing a vast expanse of new land.”
After hearing Yan Fei’s explanation, Lu Pingping suddenly interjected, “Fei, did you build this yellow sand dam? Or rather, is this a result of your special ability?”
Yan Fei was startled, not expecting his deception to be seen through by Lu Pingping, and then he realized the flaw in his lie. Even if Misty Island had truly stopped sinking and portions of the sea area had risen, what should have erged would be a rocky dam, not one of yellow sand—a detail cleverly caught by Lu Pingping.
However, just as Yan Fei was about to say sothing to Lu Pingping, she added, “Nevermind, if you don’t want to tell the truth, then it must be because you can’t. I won’t press further, and you don’t need to answer my question.”
Yan Fei scratched his head and showed a simple and honest smile, admitting, “Pingping, I knew I couldn’t keep it from you. To be honest, the yellow sand dam was indeed built by , and I also created the new land inside. But due to certain reasons, I can’t tell you how I did all of this.”
Lu Pingping suddenly laughed and remarked, “Fei, I knew you were hiding sothing from , but it’s okay if you can’t tell . I’m afraid I can’t keep secrets. You know, a woman’s curiosity is very strong, and I am a woman, so once I know a secret, it’s very difficult to keep it to myself for a day. The sudden change in Misty Island is a great thing for us. Now I’m starting to understand you; thanks to your previous relentless efforts, the ownership of Misty Island was already undisputed, so this new land naturally belongs entirely to you.”
Seeing that Lu Pingping didn’t continue to pry and was very interested in the new land of Misty Island, Yan Fei’s concerns eased. The drone was his ultimate secret, and he would not tell anyone. It would be very difficult for him if Lu Pingping truly insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Yan Fei clicked a few keys on the computer, bringing up the 3D map of Misty Island created by the Auxiliary Brain and said, “Pingping, look, this new land covers an area of 202 square kiloters. I plan to embark on major construction and developnt here, to make this the new headquarters of Dream Technology. Do you have any good suggestions?”
