220: Fireflies try to rival the moon's brilliance

“That wasn't luck!” Tony also leaned over. “Muse, stop being modest! In a situation like that just now, anyone else would have been finished! Your skill is incredible!”

Zhao Ya stood behind them, remaining silent.

Her heart was churning.

As someone who knew how to fly a plane, she understood better than anyone what that maneuver just now implied.

That wasn't just good technique—that was technique taken to its absolute peak!

To not only keep the plane from losing control in such extreme weather but also find a relatively safe path to fly through!

This required not just operational skill, but also a deep understanding of meteorology, extreme mastery of the plane's performance, and intuition bordering on precognition.

She recalled something her flight instructor from her time in the military, an old pilot who had participated in international military flying competitions, once said.

"The difference between a top pilot and an ordinary pilot isn't visible in normal times, but in desperation. In desperation, a top pilot can find that one percent possibility and turn it into a hundred percent chance of survival."

At the time, she thought it was an exaggeration.

Now she believed it.

Lei Jun was the kind of person who could find that one percent possibility.

No, perhaps she was even more terrifying than that.

Zhao Ya made a quick estimation.

Based on the skill level Lei Jun displayed just now, let alone commercial aviation, she would definitely be among the best even among the world's top stunt pilots or fighter pilots.

No, maybe even more than that!

—That instantaneous judgment and precise operation in complex situations had already surpassed the scope of "technique" and bordered on "talent."

And she had previously thought Lei Jun merely "knew how to fly."

Ridiculous.

Utterly ridiculous.

Compared to Lei Jun, her flying skills were like a child playing with a toy.

No, she shouldn't compare them that way.

It should be said that the pilots globally who could compete with Lei Jun could be counted on one hand.

This realization left Zhao Ya both shocked and... excited.

It was her honor to follow such a person.

Lin Xiaoya, meanwhile, was completely immersed in her adoration for Lei Jun.

She looked at Lei Jun's back, her thoughts drifting far away.

Just what kind of person was Sister Lei?

Her background was terrifying; even her father, the Governor of Longcheng, had to treat her respectfully.

She was stunningly beautiful, a beauty that wasn't superficial but radiated from within.

Her temperament was superb; she was always calm and composed, no matter the situation.

She was amazing at singing and dancing; Lin Xiaoya had seen Lei Jun perform at a school gala, and it was top-tier.

Her learning ability was frightening, possessing Photographic Memory.

Her fighting skills were also terrifying; she had kicked a male classmate several meters away on the first day of school.

She was a top gamer; Lin Xiaoya had played games with Lei Jun and been completely crushed.

Her equestrian skills were top-notch; they had gone to a riding stable together, and Lei Jun's posture on the horse was like a knight in a movie.

Now, another point had to be added: god-tier flying!

This was no longer something that could be described as "excellent."

This was simply... perfect!

Lin Xiaoya recalled her father Lin Zhengming's words: "Xiaoya, follow Lei Jun, study hard, and observe well."

At the time, she didn't quite understand.

Now she understood.

Compared to Lei Jun, she was like a firefly attempting to compete with the bright moon. No, she didn't even have the qualifications to compete; she could only look up in awe.

But this reverence wasn't jealousy or self-abasement, but a genuine admiration and... pride.

She was Lei Jun's little follower.

Sister Lei's little follower.

This identity used to make her feel awkward.

After all, she was the Governor's daughter, and since childhood, others had always revolved around her.

But now, she felt this was the most correct choice she had ever made.

If life were a movie, Lei Jun was undoubtedly the female lead, the kind who shone brilliantly.

And for her to be an important supporting character beside the female lead was already tremendous luck.

She thought back to the despair she felt while writing her will, then looked at the survivors' euphoria now.

Then she smiled.

A smile of relief.

It was wonderful to be alive.

To be able to continue following Sister Lei was even better.

The plane flew steadily toward Sanya.

In the cabin, the atmosphere had completely changed.

The previous fear and despair were replaced by ecstasy and excitement, and everyone surrounded Lei Jun, praising her one after another.

Qin Yu even wanted to open champagne to celebrate, but Su Qing stopped him.

Lei Jun simply smiled, occasionally responding briefly.

She knew clearly that the situation just now had been extremely dangerous.

God-tier technique was not omnipotent; if the storm had been slightly stronger, or if her judgment had been slightly off, the outcome might have been completely different.

But ultimately, they had made it through.

She looked at the clear blue sky outside the window, then at the group of excited, surviving friends behind her, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart.

The feeling of protecting everyone was good.

"Sister Lei, when we get to Sanya, I'll treat you to the most expensive seafood!" Qin Yu thumped his chest.

"Muse, I'm going to design an exclusive look for you to commemorate this rebirth!" Tony's orchid finger curled up again.

Lin Xiaoya silently decided that she would cling even tighter to Sister Lei's coattails from now on.

Lei Jun listened to everyone's plans and smiled.

"Alright, everyone sit back down. We'll be in Sanya in another hour, so take a rest."

This time, no one was nervous, and no one was doubtful.

Everyone obediently sat back down, wearing relaxed smiles.

Because they knew that as long as Lei Jun was present, they were safe.

The plane continued forward, piercing through the blue sky and white clouds, flying toward sunny Sanya... Soon, the plane landed smoothly in Sanya.

Stepping onto the ground, the sunshine and sea breeze rushed at them, and the joy of survival surged in everyone's hearts.

Everyone surrounded Lei Jun, chattering excitedly about the upcoming itinerary.

Lei Jun listened with a smile, but internally she was silently calling up the System Interface.

Sure enough, a new mission had refreshed.

[godly tycoon mission: Experience the thrill of bungee jumping. Please, host, attempt one bungee jump. Mission Reward: 2000 godly tycoon coins.]

Bungee jumping?

Lei Jun's eyebrows slightly lifted.

This mission was interesting, and the reward was quite substantial.

She looked at her excited companions and formed a plan.

"Since we all survived, why don't we go do something even more thrilling to truly let loose?"

"What's more thrilling?" Qin Yu immediately rushed over.

"Bungee jumping," Lei Jun uttered the two words.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Tony's orchid finger froze in mid-air: "Oh My God! Bungee jumping! I agree!"

He appeared exceptionally excited.

Lin Xiaoya swallowed, but seeing Lei Jun's calm gaze, she immediately nodded: "If Sister Lei says go, I'll go!"

Zhao Ya was expressionless and nodded: "Fine."

For her, this was probably nothing compared to special forces training.

Su Qing and her sister Su Ya exchanged glances, their faces showing clear hesitation and fear.

Su Qing, being the housekeeper, habitually wanted to confirm safety: "Miss, is this... safe?"

"You don't need to worry about safety," Lei Jun said. "We'll choose a reputable place. Go try it, challenge yourselves."

The mission required experiencing a thrill, and completing it with everyone would both fulfill the task and make the trip more unforgettable.

Seeing the fear in the Su Qing sisters, she felt this was a perfect opportunity for them to break through their limits.
