Chapter 1173: Flying Again

In fact, Zhang Zian also wanted to see what the so-called “Cleopatra’s Bathroom” looked like. However, being a responsible adult, he decided that he would not rob Sihwa of her desires to broadcast.

He could be seen on the same screen as her, for fear of being recognized by the people that knew him. For those who might have wanted to introduce pretty girls to him, upon seeing him with Sihwa, they might have thought that he had already found one. That would certainly hurt his chances of finding a beautiful, white, rich girl…

“Hey! I thought the waves would be really big, but what is this?” Richard said while standing on his shoulders, looking at the rising tides of the sea.

Zhang Zian stood in the same place for a little while and found that the tide there was relatively low. The waves were not as fierce when compared to those in Binhai City. It was probably because the Mediterranean was a semi-inland sea and therefore had weaker tides. In addition, all the coral reefs in the sea provided additional barriers to the raging waters.

The entrance to the cave suddenly narrowed. It might have caused the waves to be a lot stronger, but because Sihwa was a mermaid, it had little effect on her pace. Zhang Zian was satisfied that she would be in no danger and left her behind.

“Hey! It’s said that the sea is the source of romance for many poets. I want to take this opportunity to write a poem!” Richard took the opportunity to break into a creative mode while there was no one in sight.

“Save it. You are probably coming up with a load of crap, and I am sick of hearing it.” Zhang Zian was clearly not interested. “In addition, how come I have never heard of that saying before?”

Richard ignored what Zhang Zian said, took a deep breath, and shouted, “On the Western end of Egypt, seeing the roaring waves!”

Ah? This line sounded unexpectedly normal.

However, just like that, it took a turn for the worse and became, “The waves will dirty you, so you dirty the waves!”

It fluttered to the sea. “I can’t hold it anymore! Now it’s going to be really dirty!” Out came a series of green, white, and yellow bird droppings, landing neatly in the sea. “Haha! That was really satisfying!”

Richard, having cleared his bowels, wanted to fly back to Zhang Zian’s shoulder. However, it saw Zhang Zian’s menacing glare and knew to immediately change tack and fly in a different direction. It landed on top of a sun umbrella and used it to clean its *sshole.

Zhang Zian could only hope that when they returned the umbrellas, the hawkers who rented them out would not be too thorough with inspecting them…

Back at the shore, Pi and Famous played until they were really tired. Pi was especially drained, since it seldom left home to exercise outside. It spread itself out on the rocks and made itself comfortable.

Famous sprayed a lot of seawater on its body. The sun’s strong rays caused the water to evaporate quickly, leaving a stray of sea salt on its body. Perhaps it was affected by taking on the physical appearance of a monkey, and it instinctively pulled at its own fur to get the salt out.

Although tired, they had a great time playing together.

It was advantageous for Famous to play the water, as it wore goggles. It did not have to worry about sea water stinging its eyes. Seeing how comfortable Pi was, Famous wanted to bask in the sun to dry its fur, but Zhang Zian stopped it.

“Famous, come and play hide and seek! Don’t even think about running away today!”

Famous said nothing. At this moment, it realized that it had taken its opponents too lightly. Galaxy and Zhang Zian had already taken up positions on its left and right. To escape, it could only run towards the ocean.

“Hey, come play hide and seek!” Galaxy jumped around excitedly, creating small puddles wherever it stepped. Galaxy was now very accustomed to the cool feeling of its feet immersed in water and did not want to get stuck in the nasty sand.

“Okay… I will only play for a while. Also, I reserve the right to admit defeat.” Famous stated its terms in advance, for it did not want to be drained of its life playing.

“How can you admit defeat? You should play hide-and-seek with the spirit of never giving up! Look at me. Don’t I set a good example for you?” Zhang Zian asked with a look of pain on his face.

“You just don’t want to hit rock bottom.” Famous had already read what was on his mind.

Richard sighed. If only he could be with the rest, lying out and enjoying the sun and breeze in peace.

“When will it start?” he asked reluctantly.

“Wait a minute. I will prepare something first.” Zhang Zian opened the trunk of the station wagon and took out Nekhbet, the unmanned drone.

Since coming to Egypt, however, due to large-scale anti-terrorism movements and strict quotas on air control, Nekhbet had no chance of leaving its suitcase and taking flight. According to his experience, if electronic products were kept and not used, in the long-term, they would easily damaged, and it would be difficult to get them working again.

The drone was especially important for this expedition. If the need for it arose and it was unable to fly, that would be highly disastrous. Therefore, Zhang Zian wanted to use this opportunity, while they were in a small seaside town, to try it out. Doing so allowed him to check on its flying capabilities. It would also allow him to observe whether anyone cheated in this game. To add on a third bonus, it would allow him to observe the immediate surroundings for any sign of movement, in case any tourists chanced upon Sihwa. It was indeed killing three birds with one stone.

Seeing Zhang Zian take out the drone, Famous almost wanted to admit defeat immediately.

Zhang Zian found a flat rock and installed the rotor and battery on the fuselage. The data transmitted through the remote control was normal, and the battery was full.

Whiz! Nekhbet took off lightly and positioned itself in the sky above Zhang Zian while in tracking mode. Everything around him could be seen.

“Okay! Let’s get started! This time I am confident that I will beat you!”

Galaxy challenged and replied, “Yeah… Bragger!”

“Please! Cheating is cheating. Can’t you at least be quiet about it?” Famous snorted.

Its words went in one ear and out the other to Zhang Zian. He felt that in this day and age, the honest man always lost out, so why should he not cheat if he could?

“I am in a good mood today, so we need not pick who is the catcher via a game of rock-paper-scissors. You guys go and hide. I will be the catcher first.” He graciously waved his hands while looking for a rock to lean on. He covered his eyes with his hands and started counting down. He counted quickly, and numbers came out of his mouth.

“100, 99, 98, 97…”

Famous had more things to complain about, but since Zhang Zian would nevertheless ignore it, it will no doubt be a meaningless affair. Rather, it would be better for it to start hiding.

As soon as it turned around, Famous realized that Galaxy was long gone. There was no time to waste, and with a heavy heart, it glanced around looking for a suitable spot. Yet it found nowhere that was worthy as a hiding spot.

Zhang Zian quickly finished counting to 100. He’d probably skipped a few numbers in between, but he could not be bothered. He opened his eyes and shouted, “I am starting now! All of you better hide well! I don’t want to win so easily!”

Although the crashing waves were loud, his voice was certainly louder, and it traveled across the entire beach. He believed the elfins had heard him.

“Now let me see where you all are hiding…” He looked down at his drone remote control and looked for traces of Galaxy and Famous with eyes in the sky.

Eh?

It was in this moment that he saw, albeit accidentally, a car driving toward them.
