NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 73
Chapter 73: Worthless!
“Mr. Fang,” Sima Shengjie rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed.
Fang Jian forcefully composed himself and asked, “What is it?”
Sima Shengjie quickly said, “Oh, I wanted to ask if you have any pre-war antiques here?”
Fang Jian thought for a moment and replied, “I can help you look for them. If I find any, I’ll notify you right away.”
“Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Fang.” Sima Shengjie patted his chest and assured, “Mr. Fang, I guarantee that the price I offer will satisfy you.”
Fang Jian nodded slightly and said, “Mr. Sima, I really like your gift. But you should know that I pay attention to details…”
“Uh-huh.” Sima Shengjie widened his eyes and listened attentively.
“I hope that the craftsmanship and performance of this artwork you gave me can perfectly replicate everything about the F-22, without adding any unnecessary embellishments.”
Sima Shengjie hurriedly said, “Mr. Fang, don’t worry. I’ve researched a lot of information, and I assure you this is a replica of that era.”
He paused and added, “Whether it’s the alloy composition, paint materials, or performance! Oh, yes, the performance…”
Seeing his slightly embarrassed appearance, Fang Jian’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked, “What? Doesn’t meet the standards?”
“How is that possible?” Sima Shengjie shook his head. “This is just a simple handicraft. Even if I’m not skilled, I couldn’t fail to meet the standards. Although I’ve tried my best to replicate it, its performance is slightly better through testing than recorded in history.”
He scratched his head in frustration and smiled wryly. “I only know how to follow instructions to manufacture things. I don’t understand why the performance turned out a little better…”
“How much better?” Fang Jian asked.
“Compared to the theoretical values, it’s about 7% better overall,” Sima Shengjie replied.
Fang Jian’s eyelids twitched. 7% overall improvement?
That’s already a remarkable leap.
Fortunately, it didn’t exceed Fang Jian’s psychological threshold. If Sima Shengjie had produced something that looked identical but had performed ten times better, Fang Jian would never have allowed it to see the light of day.
But a mere 7%. Heh, even my fingers have different lengths.
What does it have to do with me?
I didn’t make it, after all. Fang Jian immediately regained his calm and composure.
However, just thinking this was a personal handmade craft left Fang Jian unsure of what to say.
“Can an individual just casually manufacture an F-22?”
How far has technology advanced in this millennium?
“Oh, by the way, I’m also including a simulated cockpit for you. You can learn how to operate it inside and then go out and fly it,” Sima Shengjie said with a smile. “But when flying the real aircraft, it’s best to wear a biologically armored suit with flight capabilities so that you can easily escape in case of a crash.”
Crash?
What a jinx you are!
Fang Jian coldly replied, “With such a fantastic toy, what would I have to play with if I crashed?”
“Don’t worry about that. I can make as many as you need. After all, the cost is low, and it’s worthless.”
Worthless???
Fang Jian: …!!!
After conversing with Sima Shengjie for a while, both expressed their desire to deepen their cooperation, and they bid each other farewell with great joy. Fang Jian held the card given by Sima Shengjie and touched it to his forehead.
Sure enough, he sensed a new spatial warehouse. In that vast warehouse, an aircraft was parked.
F-22!
The Raptor!
If possible, Fang Jian wanted to take it for a flight. With a thought, Fang Jian extended his hand and touched the card. In the spatial house, a nutrient chamber appeared instantly.

In the spatial house, a nutrient chamber appeared instantly. Fang Jian thought for a moment, then lay down inside. After closing his eyes, he entered an interface similar to a game.
Then, he began to make his selection. Sure enough, there was an option for the F-22. Upon opening it, he immediately saw the pilot’s manual and tutorials. With joy in his heart, Fang Jian clicked on it.
“Boom…”
After a while, Fang Jian opened his eyes, looking pale.
Damn it, being a pilot is not easy.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Fang Jian’s mind. He remembered something. He transmitted a thought, and the watch on Fang Jian’s wrist emitted a subtle change.
Layers of energy waves enveloped him. However, this time, the biologically armored suit only formed a thin layer, a significant difference from before. Then, Fang Jian began his flight training once again!
