"What are you doing?" She frowned, snatching her water cup back from Li Changzhou's hand, her delicate little face full of impatience.
"Your hair?" Li Changzhou didn't explain, but curiously examined Itheri's short hair.
It had been pink before, but within a short period of not seeing her, it had turned bright silver.
"Oh," Itheri flicked the hair by her ear, "this is the color of my flying car, a reminder to a certain guy."
"Hahaha!" Li Changzhou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Itheri began to scowl.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely buy you one!" Li Changzhou promised with a laugh.
"It's not about buying one, it's about compensating !"
"Compensation is equivalent, but buying is better, which one do you want?"
Itheri's vibrant and seductive face was full of suspicion: "Really?"
"What I said is true."
"Are you willing?"
"I'm not interested in money."
Itheri laughed: "Then I want—"
"Lily." Arnes ca around the corner of the corridor, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them.
Li Changzhou smiled at him and left Itheri with one last comnt: "You can pick out the flying car you want right now." He turned and walked back to the bridge from which he had just co.
Itheri was lucky to et the King of Black Fog when he was in a very good mood.
Upon entering the bridge, there was a tumultuous uproar in the cabin.
Navigator Da Yi, with four of his eighteen tentacles, held sothing resembling glow sticks, screaming wildly.
"Sisi! Sisi!"
"I love you! I love you! I must marry you! Sisi!"
In front of him was an expanse of starry sea, and in the center of the starry sea was a vast platform surrounded by crowds of people, with a three-ter-tall humanoid female at the center.
Navigator Da Yi sat in the 2825th row, seat number 23657 of the concert—he could look down to see the seat information.
Li Changzhou stood in the middle of the crowd, his body occupying part of the light and shadow that composed the ethereal figures.
"Thank you, everyone," the three-ter-tall female celebrity gasped slightly, "the next song will be the last one—"
Everyone stood up.
Of course, so did Navigator Da Yi, who madly shouted along with the boundless crowd: "—"I will turn the universe upside down!"
Silence fell once again. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✶fire
I'm not sure if it was hundreds of millions or billions of life forms, quietly watching the stage.
A song filled with the ethereal depth of the universe began to play.
"I glide slowly on the colder side of the Yellow Fish star track, passing through the pitch-black Abyss~" the female celebrity sang with deep emotion.
Li Changzhou thought, so it was a concert... The mission note included "I will turn the universe upside down!" Were the official personnel who wrote the mission note also fans of this female celebrity?
Or could it be that the mission was related to this female celebrity?
At the end of the song, the virtual images disappeared, and the scene shifted from the stage in the vacuum of space back to the cabin as before.
"Captain, you're here?" Navigator Da Yi only then noticed him.
He stuffed the four glow sticks into his mouth and continued, "Captain, let's change ships, I want to go see Sisi's concert in the newest model, the Light Speed 3000!"
"Do you like her a lot?" Li Changzhou sat down on his captain's throne.
His hand rested on the beads on the armrest of the throne, a touch on them could issue any command to the spaceship, a little gimmick that embodied the captain's authority.
Actually... Although this spaceship should have been retired 5000 years ago, it could still directly summon the main brain anywhere and give orders to the ship.
Even without a navigator, this old ship could safely pass through most of the dust belts in the universe. Spaceships that couldn't afford a professional navigator usually relied on autopilot.
Dust belts were a minor issue; getting lost in the universe was the real dread. At that ti, navigators who could locate their kin—given their consent—could always bring the ship back to the Divine Will Great Wall.
When it was ti for battle, a navigator could also act as a warrior.
"My dream, when I first set sail, was to earn enough money to sit in the front row of Sisi's concert and listen to her sing up close just once," Navigator Da Yi said wistfully.
"You'll achieve that dream," Li Changzhou said.
"But I've spent all my savings on Sisi's concerts for this year," he lanted.
"...No worries, I don't have any savings either."
"Thank you, Captain, you're so comforting," Da Yi's four tentacles wiped his four eyes, moved to tears.
Those who love music are very sensitive, regardless of whether they are aliens—'alien' is a term subject to debate in the universe.
Li Changzhou had aspired to be a cold and strong man since he was ten, so he never listened to music.
"Da Yi, tell what you know about 'IAO·1-Second Gap,'" he said.
"IAO? I've only heard that he's a madman," Da Yi responded.
"Mad in what way?"
"It seems he went mad only recently. After the ga of Value appeared, the Saint decreed that a 'winner' had erged and all experints with ti machines and possibilities must cease. However, IAO wanted to know the true identity of the 'winner' and has been researching it."
The pronunciation of 'winner' was odd; the ga of Value was translated into 'winner' for Li Changzhou to understand.
Was the current mission about finding out the 'winner's true identity?
With their current strength, attempting such a thing was no better than returning to Earth to farm early.
"Since IAO defied the Saint's decree, did he face any punishnt?" he continued to ask.
"It doesn't seem so," Da Yi used a tentacle to pour himself a drink—his tentacle astonishingly extended, "So say it's because IAO cos from the '1-Second Gap' family; others say the Saint himself is interested in the 'winner's' real identity, so he allows IAO to proceed."
"The 1-Second Gap family?"
"Referring to the original inhabitants of Divine Will Star, every life form on this planet receives a fief upon reaching adulthood. The aning of 1-second gap is that IAO's fief spans 3.26 light-years."
