Chapter 158: Sensation in Beautiful Country

This piece of news quickly captured widespread attention. After all, it involved an aircraft with an unknown number of souls on board. Should the landing fail, it would inevitably become a global catastrophe. Consequently, even the citizens of the United States found it impossible to look away.

The broadcast transitioned, soon cutting to Qin Nuanxin's live-streaming room. Upon witnessing this scene, the news anchors could not help but cry out in astonishment.

"Oh, my God! What is that man doing? Why is he piloting the plane with one hand while gripping the captain's head with the other? Is he some kind of extraterrestrial being using superpowers to extract the captain's memories?"

This bizarre spectacle drew the focused attention of countless American netizens. Yet, among the crowd, there were still a few individuals who understood Eastern languages. This group translated the bullet comments from Nuanxin's live stream directly into the chat of the news broadcast.

"No, that's not it, anchor. This man is a celebrity in the East—well, a star, so to speak. But he isn't part of the entertainment industry. Instead, he possesses extraordinary prowess across numerous fields: painting, singing, medicine, disguise, acting, Go... and the list goes on. Previously, the Go-playing artificial intelligence robot developed by our country's AI company, AlphaGo, was utterly defeated by him."

"What?"

This time, it was the news anchor's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Good grief, are you kidding me? He actually defeated AlphaGo? That's artificial intelligence! A man who even conquered the Go world champion!"

"I'm not joking. This matter was widely reported in Eastern media outlets; a simple search will make it clear. His songs are currently the absolute hottest trend across the entire Eastern internet, dominating the top twenty spots on the charts. Virtually every music application in the East is filled exclusively with his tracks."

"Holy shit! Is he even human?"

Curiosity was thoroughly ignited among netizens across the entire United States. There was simply no helping it; Yang Xiaofan's abilities were so formidable that they defied belief. For an ordinary person, mastering just one of these skills would already be considered remarkable. Yet Yang Xiaofan possessed so many. Moreover, each skill was executed with such terrifying proficiency.

Was this guy out of his mind?

Many American netizens even bypassed the internet firewall of their own accord to dig up information on Yang Xiaofan.

As a result, what they discovered left them utterly stunned.

"My goodness, he appeared merely as a supporting character in his very first film, and the box office has already surpassed three billion RMB—and this is in less than a week!"

"A single painting of his fetched over twenty million at an auction in the East. Oh my god, is he the reincarnation of God?"

"He's too powerful. This guy is simply not human. You can't possibly imagine it; he's basically Superman."

"Are these things even real, or is it just hype?"

"Definitely not hype. If it were hype, so many heaven-defying achievements would have been exposed by now, wouldn't they?"

"I went to listen to his songs, and they are genuinely amazing. My god, compared to our top-tier A-list pop stars, he isn't the slightest bit inferior. Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Bieber, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish... their voices are practically overshadowed by his. However, because of the language barrier, I can't understand the lyrics, so I can't judge whether his songs surpass the overall standard of the artists I love."

"Good lord, he is literally flying a plane with one hand while using his miraculous medical skills to treat the captain with the other. Is this a superpower? It has to be a superpower!"

Netizens across the United States went into a frenzy. Yang Xiaofan's resume was simply too extraordinary, far exceeding the boundaries of their comprehension. Who wouldn't be curious about such a powerhouse? Furthermore, he was currently undertaking a monumental task to save the lives of over a hundred people. This was far more nerve-wracking than watching the most gripping suspense thriller.

"Control tower, we have entered the designated trajectory. Requesting landing clearance."

Yang Xiaofan communicated with the tower in fluent English. The personnel in the control tower had already witnessed Yang Xiaofan's actions via the live stream and understood the situation. They immediately replied:

"We have prepared the approach vector in advance. You may now proceed with the landing according to the instructions on the aircraft's computer."

"Understood."

Yang Xiaofan's piloting skills were currently at a super-elite level, allowing him to comprehend the computer's directional prompts at a single glance. Therefore, he prepared to initiate the descent.

However, right at that moment, the aircraft's computer suddenly began to sound an alarm.

A massive red dot flashed on the computer screen, approaching at high speed.

Yang Xiaofan was momentarily startled before immediately contacting the control tower.

"Tower, tower! An aircraft has appeared in my sector. It's going to cross my flight path; we're going to collide!"

The tower responded instantly:

"We have detected the other aircraft. It just took off and cannot alter its course—let me repeat, it is incapable of altering its flight path. We are adjusting the approach vector and have transmitted it to your flight control computer. Please execute the command immediately."

"There's no time. I've already descended, and if I try to climb back up now, there simply isn't enough time."

"If we do that, the two planes are guaranteed to collide."

At this very moment, whether in the control tower, inside the cabin, or among the Eastern and American netizens watching the live stream, everyone held their breath, fixing their eyes unwaveringly on the unfolding scene.

Could it be that even though Yang Xiaofan had reached god-like heights, the heavens still refused to spare him?

Was it truly true that talent invites jealousy from the heavens?

Was Yang Xiaofan about to meet his end?

The flight attendants had already begun to weep, and despair enveloped everyone's hearts.

Yet, at that exact moment, Yang Xiaofan made a baffling move. He preemptively cut power to both of the plane's engines, causing the aircraft to descend at a drastically accelerated rate.

"Oh my god, what is he doing?"

Everyone covered their mouths, eyes wide, staring fixedly at the scene, completely unable to comprehend what Yang Xiaofan was attempting.

Just as the two aircraft converged, when Yang Xiaofan's plane should have collided with the oncoming one, it unexpectedly glided past just beneath the belly of the other aircraft, its tail fin missing the other plane by a mere ten centimeters.

Once clear, he immediately re-engaged the engine.

While doing so might cause strain to the engines, how much was an airplane actually worth? He could afford to buy one himself, whereas the lives of the people aboard this flight were priceless!
