"Standing from different heights, in different positions, with different standpoints, the things you see will also be different, perhaps beneficial, perhaps harmful, always subject to change. It's still too early to draw conclusions."
Having gone through so much, Chen Fei was no longer the rookie who had just arrived on the scene.
The initial task call sign "Rookie" has been used until now because it serves as a constant reminder that never, at any ti or place, should he beco complacent. As a pawn who has no control over himself, caution is the primary prerequisite for survival. Otherwise, it's easy to go from a pawn to an abandoned one. Chen Fei is no fool. He understood this from the start.
The greater the power, the bigger the burden to bear. There are never any free lunches in this world, let alone a city. Even for a top financial giant like Louis Industrial Company, unless they pour in everything to the point where life becos difficult, building a huge steel city like "Atlantis" remains unlikely.
To wear the crown, one must bear its weight, especially when it cos to a city. Considering the dual nature of things, now that this city is in Chen Fei's hands, the associated costs and risks are imaginable.
Don't assu just because the Lin and Chen families get along well, the "Lord of the Sky" might spare Chen Fei a way out for the sake of his uncle. But no one dares to vouch for that.
Even if there is a way out, it is the special treatnt that only his uncle's own son, Chen Shan, can have. Coming to Chen Fei, there's a layer of separation, and he's even beaten the "Lord of the Sky's" own son into submission. Just this alone is enough to form a vendetta with the Lin family.
If one day sacrificing Chen Fei could severely damage the "Salgari" civilization or even abandon the Blue Star civilization, many would undoubtedly choose to agree, including Chen Fei himself.
As long as the benefits are sufficient, there's nothing that can't be sacrificed. Because everything is on open cards, honestly stated, Chen Fei has no difficulty accepting it.
If it could lead to an all-out attack against the "Salgari" civilization, who in life hasn't faced death negligibly while leaving a mark on history? A re life seems like a great bargain, doesn't it?
"Hmm, Mr. Randon!"
Chen Fei appeared to have made a decision.
As a constant supporter throughout, the big shot deserves repaynt.
It's not about interests, just trust.
"Hmm?"
Louis Landon seed a bit puzzled but sensed sothing unusual.
"It's ti to show you sothing."
Chen Fei turned around and nodded to the nearby S-Class Space Ability User.
"Let's go!"
Heseman Brown activated "Space Transmission," destination: the center of the continent in Life Space.
Eden Courtyard!
This was the na Chen Fei used to fool those scientists, but it was appropriately fitting.
The beginning of life, Eden Courtyard.
The researchers hadn't even realized that their long-distance research object, the "Life Tree," was actually within the sa special life space as themselves, separated by several thousand kiloters. This mixture of true and false information was indistinguishable, even under a lie detector, completely logically self-consistent.
No one sensed anything amiss, including the Blue Star sovereignty that received the experintal data.
The left-behind Miyoshi Monk looked at the empty floor-to-ceiling window with frustration, unable to voice his exasperation. Clearly in the sa room, separated by just a few steps, he was forgotten at the original place, undoubtedly intentional by the S-Class Ability User.
Because the Earth Elent Warrior Dang Wei Jun, who was further away, had been taken as well, leaving only the monk behind.
Louis Landon saw his vision shift dramatically, from the brightly lit modern cityscape to what seed like a fantastical world.
A tall, towering tree, almost requiring one's neck to be bent backward to admire, whose glowing orbs among the canopy released light akin to broad daylight. Surrounding it were lush grasses linking to endless expanses of low trees and shrubs with various wildlife seen everywhere.
Breathe in the exceptionally fresh air, the scent of plants and flowers could be detected, revitalizing the body as though it was washed anew, instantly feeling lighter.
The big shot deeply inhaled once more before asking, "Where is this?"
"Eden Courtyard, the core of this little world, and also its biggest secret!"
Chen Fei pointed towards the towering tree not far ahead and continued, "'Seed Nest' McKenny, you should've heard of this na, right?"
This tree's value far exceeds that of the "Boundary Pearl." It's the most precious gift McKenny gave to Chen Fei, surpassing even "Atlantis," inexhaustible by monetary asure.
Louis Landon inevitably beca moved, "McKenny? Of course, I've heard of it. So, is this that seed? Phew, it's simply astonishing."
As one of the Blue Star civilization's top aristocrats, he certainly has heard secrets inaccessible to the general public, including the rumored origin of the "Salgari" civilization and the mysterious "seed" given to Chen Fei.
It was initially believed that this seed would manifest as a monstrously powerful beast, or a "Salgari" Parasitic Species, even the "Salgari" civilization's "Seed Nest."
But no one anticipated the ultimate outco to be like this, existing within the hell of Eden Courtyard.
"Soone is watching here, let's hurry."
As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, there was a thud, and a huge fruit dragged a long vine down to the grass.
"Who?"
Louis Landon asked in confusion.
"Those scientists, encompassing various fields of biology, are in 'Atlantis,' remotely observing here."
Chen Fei walked towards the large fruit, which was more than a ter high, and pointed his finger to a spot not far away.
The replacent with multi-legged crawling mobile observation platforms was distributed around the "Life Tree", providing real-ti observational data to the biological laboratory. Helium balloon observatories floated in the sky, assisting in a comprehensive observation of changes inside and outside the entire barrier.
The growth speed of the "Life Tree" was beyond imagination. Its current height had reached 230 ters, and the main trunk and crown were increasingly astonishing. The barrier, centered around the "Life Tree," could expand outward by a ter every minute. At the edge of the barrier, various spores and buds whipped around like mist. Mosses, lichens, algae, and other lower plants, along with various microorganisms, continuously climbed onto more blackened lava surfaces, visibly spreading a green of life inch by inch. Despite this not being fast, it's estimated that within ten years, the entire Life Space could be covered, transforming the space filled with lava, extre weather conditions, and toxic gases into a paradise of life.
Chen Fei effortlessly pushed the large fruit in front of Louis Landon, who was sitting in a wheelchair. With a gentle pat on the light green surface of the fruit, a long crack appeared with a cracking sound, resembling an oversized Buddha's hand lon. Inserting his hands into the gap and pulling it open, the fruit's skin, about a foot thick, was spread open more than two feet, revealing dense veins and transparent viscous liquid inside.
"Mr. Randon, you can get inside now."
"Huh? What is this?"
Louis Landon looked at Chen Fei's actions, baffled.
"Technologies of the 'Sagali' civilization, which can restore your body to normal in a short period. Should I help you?"
"Get inside?"
"That's right!"
"Alright, I'll do it myself!"
Although he needed a wheelchair daily, Louis Landon still had a basic level of mobility. So he worked hard to squeeze into the crack in the fruit. As soon as he was inside, those white silken threads enveloped him. Still, he asked worriedly, "Is it safe?"
In this life, he was an ordinary person, never awakening any special ability and losing the foresight and rebirth benefits. Most industries had now moved to "Atlantis." To be honest, there wasn't much for Chen Fei to worry about, and he wasn't concerned about any plot against his life.
Even if there was a plot, why go through all this trouble when his head could be taken with a single wave? How much more gratifying!
"Rest assured, I'll see you shortly!"
Chen Fei let go, and the thick skin of the fruit closed. The just-opened crack vanished as if it had never appeared.
Darkness instantly enveloped Louis Landon...
He closed his eyes and opened them again, feeling as though he had a perfect nap. Stretching luxuriously and yawning, Louis Landon suddenly felt sothing thin covering his body. As he swiped it aside, like paper rustling, light quickly filled his view.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Randon."
Chen Fei's voice reached his ears.
"Ah! Good afternoon! Ah! Good afternoon?"
Louis Landon looked around in confusion, as he seed to have just squeezed into the interior of a giant fruit.
How in the blink of an eye... where was the fruit?
Only then did he notice so dried leaves covering his body, so thick, so thin, with a few fine yellow silk strands sticking to him, clinging to his hands, neck, and exposed skin, even inside his clothes.
"Only 15 minutes!"
Chen Fei's communication number received multiple connection requests, almost all from scholars in the biological laboratory.
When Louis Landon squeezed into that giant fruit, its surface, resembling a gigantic Buddha's hand lon, visibly shriveled quickly.
Fifteen minutes later, the fruit's skin and flesh were completely dehydrated, turning into uneven, rough thin flakes, while Louis Landon erged as if he had just woken up from sleep.
Experts observing this scene nearly went mad, thinking Chen Xiao'er always stirred up so crazy mischief as soon as he arrived, a bane of scientific research indeed.
It was like a struggling student just managing to solve one problem, and suddenly, a hundred more appeared, then a thousand, piling up beyond count, practically driving them insane.
"15 minutes?"
Louis Landon closed his eyes and opened them again, with no other mories, feeling no ti had passed.
The next second, he sensed sothing different.
No longer feeling constant weakness, instead, boundless energy surged from within his body.
"Feeling invigorated?"
Chen Fei took out a full-length mirror and placed it in front of Louis Landon.
"Uh, yes, yes! What's going on?"
Casting his gaze at his reflection, Louis Landon found he seed to have beco at least twenty years younger. His originally completely white hair had vanished, replaced by a light brown hue, and not only had the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes disappeared, but his skin and slack muscles were much firr as well.
"The technology of the 'Sagali' civilization can restore you to the best condition for your age in the shortest ti."
Chen Fei kicked the already dried fruit skin with his foot, leaving only this bit of material from the giant fruit, all its nutrients transferred to Louis Landon's body.
The biological technology route of the 'Sagali' civilization had its pros and cons. One advantage was the potential for rapid production, and as long as one survives, the entire civilization's technological achievents are preserved, allowing quick recovery, proving highly resilient.
However, similarly, if such biological technology falls into the hands of another civilization following the sa route, it's like having all one's secrets and achievents out in the open.
The Blue Star Civilization couldn't utilize 'Sagali' civilization technology, but Chen Fei could freely use it through the "Life Tree."
