In the study room.
Chen Shouyi carefully perused a thick stack of files regarding spatial passages.
He directly ignored those that were too far.
He only chose spatial passages within a range of thirty kiloters.
There were a total of four.
One low-risk, two dium-risk, and one high-risk (involving disaster-level divine entities).
However, for Chen Shouyi, it made no difference.
Low-risk doesn't necessarily an safe, high-risk doesn't necessarily an dangerous.
Explorers generally conduct explorations in a radius of about five kiloters centered on the spatial passage, not too deep, so these danger ratings are basically of little reference value.
Everything requires him to conduct on-site inspections to confirm.
Like that low-risk passage last ti, it was a barren desert area inexplicably attracting the attention of a mid-level divine entity, and who can you reason with?
...
Noon, the sun was blazing.
The light was blinding.
Chen Shouyi took the Shell Lady and rode his bicycle outside.
On the road, trucks flowed endlessly like a long dragon, dust filled the air.
The migration hadn't finished yet, with millions of people, tens of thousands of factories, materials calculated in the billions of tons; even before the mutation, considering all transportation, it couldn't be completed in just one week, let alone now.
Soon, he arrived at the nearest passage.
After showing his credentials, the path was clear all the way.
...
The night was like water, a layer of mist began to rise in the forest.
A group of fist-sized, firefly-like insects from another world hid in the mist, moving with the mist's shifts, their lights flickering, attracting countless phototactic bugs close.
Here, undoubtedly, appeared peaceful and serene.
However, this was deceptive; Chen Shouyi glanced around, stepping off, his body broke through the dense forest, flying into the sky, over tens of kiloters into a huge basin, half the sky was covered by a True God's domain of faith.
This was evidently unsuitable, he exited imdiately, rode his bicycle to the second passage.
...
The second passage was located on the mountainside of a Great Mountain.
The cold wind was biting, the mountain wind howled, temperatures dipped to minus thirty to forty degrees Celsius, distant mountains undulated like great dragons, all shrouded in white snow, a large lizard about ten ters long, gray-white all over with a pair of fleshy wings, was flying close to the ridge.
Chen Shouyi took one look, then withdrew his gaze.
This creature posed no threat to him.
He flew into the sky, surveyed for a round, within a hundred kiloters, there was no trace of a domain of faith, but he did see quite a few creatures living in frigid zones, even spotted a Giant.
This was a humanoid giant monster about thirteen or fourteen ters tall, covered in long hair.
Yet, it posed no threat to him either.
"This is the place!" Chen Shouyi thought to himself: "No need to look at the other two."
The temperature here was extrely low, the environnt harsh, faith resources extrely scarce, evidently unlikely to attract the attention of Barbarian Gods.
The other two places according to docunts, one was a swamp area full of poisonous insects and miasma, the other was similarly a forest, the risk of encountering Barbarian Gods there was undoubtedly much higher than here.
Nearby, Chen Shouyi found a sheltered mountain hollow as a foothold here.
The ice and snow here never lted, being several ters thick.
A few minutes later, he dug out a large hole in the ground,
The hole was four ters wide, three ters high, and extended to a depth of over ten ters, inside, the light was dim, but as an occasional place to shelter from wind and rain, there wasn't much to demand.
...
Returning ho in the evening.
Chen Shouyi found out his parents were back, feeling rather good.
Upon inquiry, he learned they'd gone to et several uncles.
He felt indifferent in his heart; uncles were rely symbols in his mory, having lost contact since his mory ca about, not ntioning any affection.
...
"Little white rabbit, white and white again."
"Ears stand upright, love eating radishes, love eating vegetables, jumping and hopping, truly cute..."
Shell Lady's intelligence was indeed remarkable, her learning ability extrely strong, Chen Shouyi didn't teach much, yet she recognized most words, often mixing common language with Chinese when speaking.
At this mont, her small body lay on an illustrated book, reading word by word. Suddenly, she paused, asking the Giant also reading beside her: "Is the little white rabbit a good little white rabbit?"
"Yes." Chen Shouyi glanced at her, smiling in response.
For her, as long as a creature wouldn't eat her, then it must be a good creature.
"Are radishes and vegetables very tasty?" Shell Lady curiously asked again.
"Honey is the tastiest," Chen Shouyi said.
On hearing this, Shell Lady nodded, strongly agreeing: "That's what Little Bit thinks too, that's why Little Bit is so powerful!"
You're eating Divine Blood!
Chen Shouyi was speechless.
"Then, Good Giant, do you think the little white rabbit is cute, or is Little Bit cute? Little Bit also hops around!"
This had an obvious answer, and just as the words hung in the air, Chen Shouyi imdiately said: "Of course, you are the cutest!"
"Oh!" Shell Lady bead with joy, finally satisfied in her heart, continuing her cheerful reading.
...
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At this mont, a knocking sound ca from outside.
Chen Shouyi glanced at the Shell Lady who had already hidden under the blanket, tossed aside the book, put on slippers, and went to open the door.
It was Chen Xingyue.
"Brother, Vice Official Zhang ca with soone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" she said, face full of restrained excitent, looking very well-behaved.
Such high efficiency!
Chen Shouyi was sowhat surprised, only inford Bai Xiaoling in the morning, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel had already rushed over from the Capital City by evening.
"I'll go down right away!" Chen Shouyi closed the door, not bothering to change clothes, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, dragging slippers, he headed downstairs.
Behind him, Chen Xingyue opened her mouth, hesitating to speak, but finally kept silent.
Her brother could dress however he liked, she couldn't manage him anymore.
Anyway, those people probably... wouldn't mind either.
...
"President Chen, we et again!" Zhonghai City's Vice Official said with a smile: "Let
introduce, this is Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Fang Xiangqian, and this is Director of Eurasian Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ren Yiping."
"A pleasure, a pleasure!"
"We've heard a lot about you, sorry to disturb you."
After the pleasantries, Minister Fang politely said: "President Chen, this ti we've co mainly to discuss your visit to the European Union, to understand so simple diplomatic etiquette, and discuss with the European Union Embassy any etiquette that might cause you discomfort."
Like hand-kissing, and cheek-kissing.
The forr is fine, but the latter, especially if the other party is likely an old man, face-to-face and kissing, is quite disgusting.
Ordinary people might grit their teeth and endure.
But for soone like him, with strength comparable to a Barbarian God, akin to a humanoid strategic weapon, who would endure such a thing?
If it were a beauty, maybe!
At that ti, if the other party couldn't get off the stage, that situation would be rather awkward.
