Chapter 21 Otan?!
"!" Estella exclaimed in surprise, somewhat regretful. "Oh dear, I almost forgot. I still need to check on the damage to the supplies. Mr. Chen Feng, Xing, I have to go now."
After saying that, Estella hurriedly left.
"Dad, is this what they call 'enduring hardship without suffering'?" Hoshi asked, watching Estella's departing figure.
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng rolled his eyes: "At such a young age, you don't learn anything else, but you know quite a lot about this kind of thing."
After a pause, Chen Feng said, "I think Estelle is enjoying herself, um~ enjoying life."
After saying that, they both fell silent. The next second, they said in unison, "I hate rich people."
"Alright, my dear daughter, Daddy's going to enjoy the troubles of being rich now."
Chen Feng patted Xing on the shoulder, his tone returning to its usual relaxed tone, "You continue with your... um, 'resource recycling' business, just remember not to get arrested by the security department as a suspicious person."
Xing pouted: "I know, you're so nagging. Remember to treat me to a nice meal when you have money, to soothe my wounded heart."
"We'll see how you do." Chen Feng waved his hand, then turned and strolled back towards his temporary rest pod on the space station.
The passageway fell silent again, with only Xing staring thoughtfully at the trash can, seemingly assessing the next "treasure" spot.
Chen Feng still wore that carefree smile, but his steps were much lighter.
Back in the somewhat empty rest cabin, Chen Feng threw himself onto the soft sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.
The Black Tower's experiments, Star's witty banter, Aista's extravagant lifestyle... life on the space station is truly "colorful".
With a slight thought, a semi-transparent screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes—the interface of the chat group.
[The ordinary young man doing chores: Phew... finally some peace and quiet. I was used as a guinea pig by some genius lady all afternoon; my bones are about to fall apart.]
[North of the Galaxy: It seems even our Commander has people he can't handle? What are the experimental data like? Is it helpful for researching other universes?]
[A mediocre guy: Don't even mention it, Black Tower's face turned black, they couldn't get anything detected. The chat group's protection mechanism is probably too strong.]
[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century: That live stream was truly awe-inspiring; I never imagined there were so many powerful beings in the world.]
[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century: @OrdinaryDumbBoy, you really kept this from me for a long time! You actually have such great strength.]
[The ordinary-looking young man who beats dust: I'm innocent, Your Majesty! I didn't hide anything from you. It's just that you didn't ask me how strong I really am.]
North of the Milky Way: 6
[North of the Galaxy: By the way, is there anything wrong with Galaxy Star?]
On the Angel Nebula, Angel Yan was a little curious: wouldn't a treasure from one universe cause a rejection reaction when it came to another universe?
[The ordinary-looking young man doing the dust removal: Oh my god, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it.]
Because he was interrupted by the Black Tower, Chen Feng had completely forgotten that he had brought the Galaxy Star back.
[Why is your head so pointy? Oh no, I forgot too. Chen Feng, hurry back to the lab.]
[The ordinary-looking young man playing with ashes: Awesome!]
……
"This is the Galaxy Star? It doesn't look particularly special." Black Tower looked curiously at the glass-like object in Chen Feng's palm, truly unable to imagine why this thing would be a treasure of the universe.
Chen Feng shrugged: "That's how it is in that world anyway."
Black Tower frowned and subconsciously reached out, but just a second before she was about to touch the Galaxy Star, a mechanical sound suddenly rang in her mind, as if reminding her of something.
"No." Black Tower reluctantly withdrew his hand, then looked at Galaxy Star in surprise: "This thing is indeed special."
"Don't you feel anything at all?" Black Tower looked at Chen Feng suspiciously. Even she couldn't touch it, yet Chen Feng was so calm. This was illogical.
"No," Chen Feng replied.
"Could it have a master-recognition mechanism like the Imperial Scepter?" Black Tower pondered, then said to Chen Feng, "Didn't Gaia say that this Milky Way Star hides a powerful force capable of ruling the entire universe? Aren't you curious?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng naturally nodded: "Of course, who wouldn't want power?"
After a pause, Chen Feng looked at Galaxy Star: "But there's no response."
"Perhaps you're doing it the wrong way?" Black Tower joked. "It seems only the Star Gods can use this Galaxy Star. Maybe you could try transforming yourself into a robot."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes: "Am I crazy? Why would a perfectly normal person want to be a robot?"
"If Screwgoom hears you say that, you might offend him," Black Tower chuckled.
Screw Goom, the king of Screw Star, is also a member of the Genius Club and one of the few geniuses in the club who has a good relationship with the Black Tower.
"I can't become a robot, but I can find another way." Chen Feng ignored Black Tower's joke and looked at Galaxy Star as if he had thought of something. He first glanced at Black Tower.
Then, right in front of the Black Tower, he picked up the Galaxy Star and ate it.
You read that right, it was something you swallowed. It was just a bead with a radius of less than three centimeters, so swallowing it shouldn't have been a problem.
"What are you doing? Spit it out!" The smile on Black Tower's face instantly turned into surprise and worry.
"What are you afraid of? Nothing's happened, it's just a little bit stuck in my throat." Chen Feng looked at the Black Tower after eating the Galaxy Star.
"The situation with this stuff is unclear right now. What if you eat it directly and something goes wrong?" Black Tower glared at Chen Feng, annoyed.
As a scientist, the most important thing is to be rigorous. Chen Feng's haphazard use of the instrument is a major taboo in research, especially since it involves things from other universes. If something really goes wrong, there will be nowhere in this world to help.
After saying those angry words, Hei Ta looked at Chen Feng nervously and asked with concern, "Are you sure nothing's wrong?"
Chen Feng was somewhat surprised; it was the first time he'd seen Hei Ta with such an expression. He half-jokingly asked, "Are you worried about me?"
He paused, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's really nothing, or rather, I just feel a little warm."
Black Tower pretended not to hear what had just been said, frowning as he muttered, "Warm?"
Just as Black Tower was about to confirm the situation, he noticed something was wrong. Chen Feng's eyes seemed unfocused, as if his mind had been taken away.
Meanwhile, in another magical space, where cosmic stars flowed everywhere, a colossal white structure stood at the very center.
Chen Feng opened his eyes in a daze and exclaimed in surprise at the figure that appeared in front of him, "Otan?!"
