[An ordinary-looking young man doing ash-making: Your Majesty!]
[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century: Chen Feng!]
[An ordinary-looking young man doing ash-making: Your Majesty!]
[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century: Chen Feng!]
[An ordinary-looking young man doing ash-making: Your Majesty!]
……
[North of the Galaxy: Ugh~ That's disgusting! Your Majesty Chen Feng, anyone who didn't know better would think you two were gay.]
[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century: Ahem, what is this gay guy?]
[An ordinary-looking young man: Uh, Your Majesty, this... this is homosexuality.]
Chen Feng scratched his head slightly embarrassedly. He almost lost control of his emotions. Looking at it now, he did feel a little ashamed, but when he thought that it was just in a chat group, he didn't care anymore. What's that saying again? You can't exactly come and hit me through the internet, can you?
Meanwhile, Li Shimin, inside the Daming Palace, blushed. Unlike Chen Feng, he wasn't shameless. Upon seeing what he had just posted, he shuddered and calmed down.
[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century: Ahem, let's get back to business.]
Then Li Shimin told Chen Feng about how he joined the group because Gaia hadn't been able to awaken, which led to the group starting a quest, and how Angel Yan took on the quest to help Gaia inject energy to awaken her.
After reviewing the general process, Chen Feng seemed thoughtful. Was it only targeting the group members' world? Then there was no need to worry about his current strength.
There's no one in the group he can't beat except for the Black Tower. His lower limit is at the galaxy level, you know? As for his upper limit, when I was playing through the story, I was really scared to tears by the Iron Tomb King. He's a standard single-universe level.
But that's none of his business anymore. He can't beat them in a fight, so he can only rely on the train crew. At worst, he'll die once. It's okay, it's okay.
Chen Feng is a very easygoing person; otherwise, he wouldn't have just stayed there waiting for someone to come find him.
However, speaking of Gaia's world, Chen Feng suddenly became curious about what exactly the Galaxy Star was.
It's said to have been created by Otan, but the star gods like Gaia turn evil the moment they touch it, and only people with pure hearts can touch it. It's supposed to be a technological world, so this kind of idealistic stuff seems a bit strange.
[The ordinary-looking young man who was doing ash removal: Thank you, Your Majesty.]
[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century: It's nothing. Since you are a descendant of the Chinese people, I certainly won't find it troublesome.]
[An ordinary young man doing chores: Your Majesty has an enormous capacity for alcohol!]
[North of the Milky Way: Such blatant commercial hype.]
[Ordinary young man: Uh... Estella's calling me, I'm logging off now, bye...]
This wasn't an excuse Chen Feng made up to avoid the topic; Estádio had genuinely come looking for him.
"The security guard told me that you've been sitting here for hours without moving. Is something wrong?" Estella asked with concern.
Because of Chen Feng's special identity, Estella did not tell anyone that Chen Feng was the Commander, only saying that he was Lady Black Tower's guest, to avoid others from paying attention.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Feng's eyes, but he quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just spacing out. I didn't expect to disturb you. Sorry."
Estella breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that nothing serious had happened.
"It's alright. After all, you are Ms. Black Tower's guest, and Ms. Black Tower entrusted me to take care of you, so it's only natural that I had to come and see you."
Hearing Estelle's words, Chen Feng smiled slightly: "You're really reassuring, Miss Estelle. You'll definitely be a reasonable and virtuous wife in the future. Whoever marries you must have saved the world in their past life."
Estella's cheeks flushed instantly when she realized what Chen Feng had said; it was the first time someone had praised her like that in front of her.
"No, no, that's not it," Estelle stammered. "I... I was just completing the task assigned by Lady Black Tower, it wasn't that good."
"Since you have nothing else to do, I'll be going now. Please call me if you need anything."
After saying that, Estelle fled as if she were escaping, her heart filled with unease.
Looking at Estella's adorable appearance, Chen Feng smiled slightly, then frowned, remembering what Estella had just said.
"A few hours?" Chen Feng was certain that he had only been in the chat group for a dozen minutes, not several hours.
"Could it be that the time flow in this chat group is different from reality?" Chen Feng wondered.
Being the kind of person who asks questions when he doesn't understand, Chen Feng posted the question directly in the group chat.
[Ordinary guy doing the dust: Everyone, someone just told me that several hours have passed on my end, but I've only been in the chat group for about ten minutes. What's going on? Does anyone know?]
[North of the Milky Way: Oh, you're back so soon? Oh, you just noticed?]
[The roundest ball: @OrdinaryDumbGrayBoy, it seems that the flow of time is different in each world. Some people's worlds have a very fast flow, like Minecraft. There's a difference of hundreds of millions of years between my time before I woke up. If I accidentally fall asleep again, who knows how much the world of the chat group will have changed by then.]
[The roundest sphere: So to avoid this situation, the flow of time is constant while we're chatting. The outside world is constantly changing, but once you return, as long as you don't rejoin the group, the chat time will slow down considerably.]
[The ordinary-looking young man: Okay, I think I understand now. Thanks for the explanation.]
[The roundest ball: It's okay, it's okay, I'm just killing time anyway.]
[The ordinary-looking young man who does ash: (Thumbs up!)]
After learning the reason, Chen Feng left the chat group. In that short time, another ten minutes or so had passed outside, which really left Chen Feng speechless.
"Forget it, let's go back and rest. I'm exhausted from sitting for so long!" Chen Feng stretched and got up to walk towards the room that Estella had arranged.
……
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. During these days, Chen Feng either wandered around the Black Tower Space Station or chatted in the group chat. Of course, he would sometimes visit Estella and chat with her. The person he could only see in the game in his previous life was now in front of him, so he had to talk to her a bit more.
However, it usually ends with Estella blushing. There's no way around it; compared to someone like Chen Feng who surfs the internet every day, Estella is practically a blank sheet of paper, and she blushes easily when she talks.
A few days later, the Star Train that Estella had mentioned coming to replenish supplies arrived.
Besides them, there were also some uninvited guests who arrived at the Black Tower Space Station!
"Fake soldiers have invaded! Activate defenses!!!"
