Chapter 5

"This is the right place..." Yang An, following the route displayed on the screen, arrived at a remote hilltop, "But why can't I see the grave..."

He frowned. For some unknown reason, the radar display in his hand malfunctioned, so he had to rely on the real-time navigation map to find the location.

Boom—Boom—

Thunder rumbled through the sky, and lightning streaked through the dark clouds, signaling an unstoppable storm.

Yang An took a deep breath, focused, and continued studying the route map.

In this interstellar age, due to atomic radiation pollution, soil degradation, natural green vegetation had become almost mythical. Although this place was remote, land prices were exorbitantly high.

This was because of the vast areas of primeval forest, filled with naturally grown plants and almost no human intervention. It made it a prime choice for the upper class to build their main residences, showcasing their family's prestige by situating their homes within the rare natural jungle—though the people might not live inside, the family estate had to be built within.

Yang An had done his homework before coming, and the StarNet had painted a glorified picture, full of flowery language and allure. But when Yang An arrived on-site...

This was a scam, a blatant scam!

Because the buyer's location was in a restricted area where no external flying devices were allowed, Yang An had to get out of the vehicle and find the cemetery on foot.

The path he walked was already developed and not too difficult, but still a bit bumpy and rugged. Perhaps due to the severe weather, the air in the mountains was damp, and even breathing felt heavy with moisture.

However... Yang An consoled himself that, from the aerial view on the navigation device, the dense forest was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, somewhat making up for the expectations set by StarNet.

From above, the towering mountains stretched endlessly, with numerous cross-sectional ranges cutting the upstream highlands of the rushing rivers into complex deep valleys and forests. The sea of trees was boundless, the treetops blocking out the sky, with ancient vines clinging and winding, partially visible in the mist.

The natural splendor was truly astonishing, Yang An thought with a sense of wonder.

As time passed, the sky grew darker and darker. Yang An didn't know how long he had been walking but finally found the cemetery.

"It's quite magnificent..." Yang An looked up and murmured.

It was like a Baroque-style opulent garden suddenly appearing in a desolate wilderness.

But... was it just his imagination?

Yang An's footsteps faltered slightly, and he pulled his arms in, feeling a chilling atmosphere.

He didn't think too much about it, quickened his pace, and just wanted to complete the task swiftly.

An unnamed buyer had ordered a "Naked Mystery" series robot from Fik's Place's StarNet sales channel, paying ten times the price for a mini version with no mechanical chips required, just the appearance.

Originally, the buyer was supposed to pick up the goods from Fik's Place in person, but due to a malfunction at the Gabriel System's space station, all the transfer stations were halted, and the buyer was stranded at a tourist coast.

It was said that the buyer's friend had been extremely fond of Fik's Place's X-love robots and some interesting little toys, being a loyal fan of the "Naked Mystery" series robots.
