While Yu Sheng was struggling fiercely with a heap of interstellar navigation regulations, the "technical support personnel" arranged by Baili Qing finally started arriving one after another.
The first batch of people included so familiar faces—Sun and his engineering team, everyone who previously helped build the orphanage temporary camp.
There were also dozens of experts in the deep space vessel field.
In the "valley" depths, at the ship docking platform near the Black Forest, the stout, slightly dark-skinned Sun, wearing a Special Service Bureau engineering team uniform, looked up at the large black giant tower nestled in the platform’s "pit location," marveling for a long ti.
"Last ti I ca, there was only a big platform in the valley center with a toilet on top," Sun withdrew his gaze, looking at Yu Sheng with emotion, "How long has it been? You’ve built a Star Port here already?! And the platform’s turned into a pyramid..."
"I told you so many tis, that wasn’t a toilet," Yu Sheng helplessly twitched his lips, "But at least you’re willing to admit my newly built transport hub is a pyramid, that’s not bad—the Little Red Riding Hood said it looks like a tombstone."
"Actually, I wanted to say it looks like one too," Sun nearly laughed out loud, but seeing Yu Sheng’s expression, he quickly added a few words, "But to be honest, it’s still quite spectacular. If anyone insists it’s a tombstone, it would have to be a wonder-class ancient tomb—I took my team to the ’Exotic Realm’ to help build a Museum before, and the Museum was directly built on an alien tomb. That tomb is similar to what you built here and was called one of the eight ancient architectures locally..."
Yu Sheng’s face turned green: "Perhaps you should stop trying to fix it."
Sun coughed twice and quickly brought the topic back on track: "The director instructed that all my projects will revolve around your valley, whether it’s constructing the Star Port or setting up infrastructure, or making interior adjustnts for your ’hub,’ just co to with your needs, I’ll provide a plan as soon as possible, with specially allocated funds from the bureau—the progress is nothing to worry about, this is an ’internal project,’ all useful technologies for this task will be at your disposal."
Yu Sheng listened, silently lifted his gaze, observing the heavy six-legged robots laying large cables around the "Star Port," the workers in powered exoskeletons laying the foundation on the platform, and the engineering shuttle in mid-air transporting materials to the valley center, which looked like an alien spaceship, he twitched his lips: "I can see... last ti you guys ca to work, this wasn’t your setup, hiding it well."
"Different tasks, building a Star Port requires different standards than setting up temporary housing," Sun said with a proud smile, "I take on all kinds of work, with all sorts of people, ask to build a disguise house at so ’Boundary City’ Exotic Realm entrance and it’s no problem, say so colony is under rebel siege and ask to throw in a couple of orbital fortresses... well, we have ard engineering ships for that. The bureau has eighteen more teams like mine, all doing the world over repairing leaks and filling gaps plus firefighting jobs."
While speaking, this middle-aged man who looked not much different from a construction site foreman took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to Yu Sheng: "Here’s my private number, next ti you go ’Boundary Land,’ it might co in handy. As long as it’s within the Boundary Land’s influence range, even if my side is short-handed, we can help contact the other seventeen teams."
Yu Sheng took the business card, carefully stored it, then looked over at the "Giant Tower" parked nearby.
"Your director suggested I change the ’style’ of this ship," he said pensively, "They said the shape of this thing is too much like the hidden sect style, causing trouble when traveling outside."
"I heard about it, Liu is in charge—he’s from the aerospace ship engineering departnt, reporting here tomorrow," Sun nodded, visibly curious, "But I’m curious about how you plan to change it? Though I don’t know a lot about ships, I know that adjustnts on such ’special craft’ are usually quite limited."
"I know, so just a paint job change, add a shell to key areas or similar," Yu Sheng casually replied, while recalling the conversation at ho with Hu Li and Erin planning for the ship modification.
Facing the travel agency’s first "big item," the first heavyweight transportation tool in the ho, Erin and Hu Li showed great enthusiasm, especially upon learning there’s a modification plan for the ship—the two were animatedly discussing—
Erin’s idea was first to change the tower’s ominous black paint job, suggesting pink, or if not possible then plum red, while Hu Li hoped to show Immortal’s deanor on the ship, like adding a star-catching moon-grabbing pavilion at the tower top, with so auspicious clouds around, later both reached an agreent, thinking the travel agency’s sign should also go live, and Yu Sheng is the agency’s biggest sign, suggesting a holographic projection on the tower’s body with Yu Sheng’s headshot looping around the ship...
Their final combined discussion result was a pink giant tower floating in space, topped with a pavilion, surrounded by plum red auspicious clouds, with Yu Sheng’s face circling around the pink column...
Yu Sheng visualized the ship’s shape during the modification and thought it may not look like a villain after all, but any villains seeing it would definitely call the cops—it’s better to be shot down by local air defenses.
Sun didn’t know why Yu Sheng suddenly froze, seeing the other party stopped mid-sentence in silence, hesitating a mont before finally speaking: "I say..."
"Uh, nothing, just a little distracted," Yu Sheng quickly rubbed his forehead, shaking off so terrifying images that inadvertently popped up, "Where did we leave off?"
"Painting, and also adding a shell or sothing."
"Yeah, painting," Yu Sheng rubbed his forehead, "Once the people from the ship engineering departnt arrive, have them add so white decorative patterns to this ship. Those ominous-looking spikes and chains on top should be removed or changed into regular connecting bridges. I think that’s good."
"Just that?"
"Yes, just that," Yu Sheng’s expression was firm as if he was ready to find another ship full of cultists and explode it. "Remind the people from the engineering departnt that if Hu Li and Erin co over here secretly to request ’extra work,’ absolutely do not agree! And notify imdiately."
Sun was confused but still nodded: "Oh, alright."
Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, watched the spaceship platform in full construction mode for a while, imagining what it will look like when it’s built as a "Star Port," then casually pushed open a door and stepped inside.
He arrived at the town in the center of the valley.
After a period of construction and managent by the "Fairy Tales" mbers, this "town" now has an impressive shape.
... It might even be a bit too "impressive."
Yu Sheng saw that outside the densely arranged temporary houses, there was now a pile of new buildings, all of which the "Fairy Tales" children created as their "new hos" based on their ideas. The children’s imaginations are wild, and the resulting house designs are strange and varied — tree houses built in mid-air and colorful "candy houses" are just basics. There’s also stone houses resembling miniature castles (Snow White’s), a giant pumpkin-shaped "pumpkin house" (Cinderella’s), and caves styled like a giant dragon’s lair (Dragon Slayer’s)...
He even saw a colossal cat climbing fra, over two hundred square ters, three stories high, and complicated like a maze with a shoe box-sized basket in the middle where the King was huddled. On each side stood two flatterers opening cat food cans for him...
The whole town exudes an atmosphere of "no one manages this place, so everyone does what makes them happy" and also slightly reveals a vibe of liberating oneself after being suppressed for too long.
Comparatively, Little Red Riding Hood’s straightforward construction of a two-story wooden house is really a refreshing contrast among this array of odd shapes — another refreshing contrast is the rmaid, who is still residing in her previously assigned simple house but dug a huge water pit behind it. It’s said she practices swimming in that pit every day, subrging for fifty-nine minutes in an hour of practice and using the remaining minute to be helped out...
Yu Sheng ca to the "castle" rooftop deep in the town, just staring at this town that has fully transford and expanded several tis in area — the area expansion is normal; mainly, those bizarre "buildings" occupy a lot of space — and couldn’t help but smile.
A rustling sound ca from beside.
Yu Sheng looked towards the sound and saw a ball of golden hair crawling along the castle’s dark outer wall, crawling to his feet, then a girl with a bright sunny smile erged from the pile of hair: "Brother, co to soak up the sun?"
"Taking half a day off," Yu Sheng said casually, his gaze turning to the surroundings of the town, "Your construction progress... is quite fast."
"The ’Kingdom Craftsn’ summoned by the King are amazing, plus the Thunderbolt Titans helping," the long-haired princess said happily, "Is it beautiful? Many houses were designed together by everyone!"
Yu Sheng didn’t speak for a mont; he watched the distance for a long ti, then after serious consideration, revealed a smile: "Hmm, very fairy tale."
"Very fairy tale?" The long-haired princess tilted her head as if she didn’t quite understand Yu Sheng’s sentint, but soon followed with a smile, "Yeah, after all, it’s the headquarters of ’Fairy Tales,’ Red Hat said it’s called... oh, having its own ’organizational identity,’ that’s the phrase, right? She’s always so serious."
She said this, supporting her hands behind her on the castle’s rooftop, looking at the bright sky, her waterfall-like golden hair cascading down, her smile growing even brighter.
"That earnest one is turning eighteen tomorrow."
