Chapter 118 The More the Better

Qi Huan quickly went to the official website of the game at the Death Library to search for Song Ci's situation, and found that he had missed too much information in the past few months when he was following Jiu Fang Yu day and night.

Long before he learned about Jiufang Yu's true physical condition from Diwuyuan, Song Ci had already cleared the Death Library at a record-breaking speed and left the game's "closed training camp".

His outstanding performance of completing the game 100% of the time won him countless fans and his popularity skyrocketed. He went from an unknown player to a legendary figure in the history of the Dead Library game. His completion records were widely circulated on the game forums, and various screen recording and slice information were taken out for repeated discussion. Any post with his name on it would get a lot of clicks and attention.

If we check Zhang Chi again, we will find that he has already cleared the game. Although he cleared the game slower than Song Ci, he created many epic scenes with his great luck and was equally popular. The most common posts on the forum were those thanking him for his good luck.

Qi Huan immediately felt something was wrong. Under such circumstances, even if their game accounts were unblocked, they would have been flooded with enthusiastic messages from fans. Given their personalities, they probably wouldn't log in to their accounts to check messages anymore.

Even so, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and sent messages to the two people's game accounts.

The result was just as he expected, nothing happened.

Qi Huan had no choice but to contact the game's official customer service again, but the reply he got was that the two players had applied for private information protection and were not allowed to disclose it to the outside.

Disappointed, Qi Huan had no choice but to send a message to Diwuyuan, who had replied to the Triple Star Domain some time ago, asking him if he had Xia Tianwu's contact information and if he knew anything about him after he left the Death Library.

But there is no way to guarantee whether Xia Tianwu has been in contact with Song Ci and Zhang Chi after they left the game.

I don't know if the young master is playing the game or busy with something else. He hasn't replied to the message yet.

Although Qi Huan was anxious, there was nothing he could do and he could only wait for Diwuyuan to get up.

If Xia Tianwu couldn't get it done, he would probably have to ask Diwuyuan to ask Tang Si through the same channel he used to ask for his autograph last time, but this path seemed even more hopeless. After all, with Tang Si's status, it was extremely difficult to talk to him, and getting information from him was probably even more impossible.

When Jiufang Yu came out of the study, he saw Qi Huan sitting at the coffee table, scratching on a piece of paper with a frown on his face.

“Can’t think of a new menu for live streaming?”

He opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Qi Huan.

"What's so difficult about the menu? I have as much as you want here." Qi Huan pointed to his head confidently, took the water and gulped down one third of it in one gulp.

Jiufang Yu sat down next to him and glanced at it casually. He found two huge words written on the paper: Tang Si. "You want to find Tang Si?"

"Yeah." Qi Huan took the bottle cap from Jiufang Yu and put it on the water bottle.

Jiufang Yu's eyes dimmed slightly, "What's the matter?"

"Big deal." Qi Huan sighed and put the water bottle on the coffee table. "Actually, I'm not looking for him. I want to find someone else through him."

"Who are you looking for?" Jiufang Yu's eyes moved.

"A money tree!" Qi Huan put his hands together and shook them, making the motion of shaking a tree, "Song Porcelain."

"Money tree?" Jiufang Yu remembered this name. He was Tang Si's gaming partner in the Library of Death.

"If he wins every time he bets, he's not called a money tree, right? You must have won a lot of money from him, right?" Qi Huan glanced at Jiufang Yu.

"That's true." Jiufang Yu touched his nose. Song Ci and Tang Si were partners, so they could only bet together.

"No, to thank Ci Ci for his contribution to our Waste Planet No. 7, we should find someone to build a money tree and put it in the lobby below so that everyone can appreciate his contribution to the base. We can move it over there after the new base is built."

Thinking about how he had completely forgotten about Song Ci and Zhang Chi because of Jiufang Yu's affairs, Qi Huan felt a little guilty and wanted to do something to make up for it.

"I think so." Jiufang Yu nodded in agreement. It was just a tree after all, and it wasn't Tang Si's name. "So you actually just want to inquire about Song Ci's news through Tang Si?"

Jiufang Yu quickly figured out Qi Huan's thoughts.

"That's right." Qi Huan paused and looked at Jiu Fangyu suspiciously, "Do you know Tang Si?"

After these months of "close" contact with Jiufang Yu's mental image, Qi Huan has been able to intuitively discern the hidden information in Jiufang Yu's many micro-expressions. His current appearance obviously does not feel like mentioning a stranger.

"We have worked together in joint operations before."

"Then do you have his contact information?" Qi Huan's eyes immediately lit up.

Jiufang Yu nodded.

Qi Huan grabbed his arm excitedly, "Really? Then can you help me send a message to him now to ask if he knows any news or contact information about Song Ci?"

Jiufang Yu certainly wouldn't refuse. He found Tang Si's name in the communication list, clicked on it and started typing.

"Since you know him, why didn't you mention it before?" Qi Huan realized something was wrong.

How big of a heart does one have to take the initiative to mention a love rival to the person he likes? Jiu Fangyu said calmly, "It's just that we have contact information, but we are not familiar with each other. In fact, we haven't been in touch since that joint operation."

Qi Huan intuitively felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. After all, Jiufang Yu's reasons seemed perfect, and the people he met at work could not really be considered friends.

Jiufang Yu sent a message, but there was no response from the other side.

"Did he delete you?" Qi Huan turned his head to look at Jiufang Yu's display screen, tapping the coffee table with his fingers anxiously.

"If he had deleted it, his name wouldn't be in my communication list at all," Jiu Fangyu was speechless at her fiancé's questioning, "Maybe he was out on a military mission and blocked the signal."

Tang Si has not retired and still holds an important position. It is normal for him to go out for routine inspections or to carry out missions.

"What should I do then?" The light in Qi Huan's eyes dimmed and his face fell in disappointment. Today was really bad and he couldn't contact anyone.

Jiufang Yu couldn't bear to see him look lost, so he quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I still have the contact information of a few people in their military department, I'll ask them again."

After asking around, Jiufang Yu finally got two pieces of information: Tang Si had indeed gone to the front line and could not be contacted for the time being. But he got news about Song Ci, who was currently studying at the Empire's capital star, Queen Star, at the Empire's Nova University.

The moment Qi Huan heard the news, he wanted to pack his bags and rush to the Empire, but was stopped by Jiufang Yu. Although the Empire and the Alliance are allies, they cannot just go there. Relevant application procedures must be submitted.

A little later, Diwuyuan also sent more detailed information provided by Xia Tianwu. Song Ci has successfully stimulated his spiritual body and is an unprecedented SS-level guide in the empire. He and Tang Si are in love and have been engaged. He is currently studying in the Q1 class of the Mecha Department.

Qi Huan asked about Zhang Chi again, and the answer he got was that Zhang Chi had failed the exam and was still taking "tutoring" at the General Studies School, and was currently living with Tang Si and Song Ci.

"If you're in a hurry, why don't you ask Xia Tianwu for Song Ci's contact number first?" Jiufang Yu suggested.

"No, I want to give him a surprise." After knowing the exact news about Song Ci and Zhang Chi, and knowing that they were all doing well, Qi Huan felt relieved and was not so anxious. It would take some time for Song Ci and Zhang Chi to accept his current situation of traveling through time. It might not be possible to explain it clearly through communication alone. It would be better to wait until they meet to talk it over.

So, while Qi Huan was waiting for the Empire's permission to enter the country, he began to prepare intensively for his second journey away from Waste Planet No. 7.

The small starship "Human Restaurant" has been completely renovated and can be driven out this time.

In addition to the members of the ship maintenance team, Jiufang Yu is naturally the first person to be included in the group.

Firstly, the daily routine grooming and treatment had to continue, and secondly, Jiufang Yu was worried about letting him go to the empire alone.

Qi Huan was also "worried" about Jiu Fangyu. After the last thrilling explosion, he learned that all the sentinels who joined the alliance army had sworn an oath to "protect". The first person they needed to protect was the residents of the alliance, the second was the guide, the third was their companions, and the fourth was themselves. This oath left a deep impression in their minds, and even if they left the army, they would instinctively obey it in times of crisis.

Qi Huan was very afraid that if there was any accident during this journey, Jiufang Yu would rush to save people again regardless of his life. So he repeatedly told Jiufang Yu that first of all, he was no longer a sentinel of the alliance army, and secondly, he saved his life by himself, so he must promise not to act without consulting him.

He was not against Jiufang Yu saving people, he just couldn't accept that he risked his life to save others without considering his own safety.

Only after Jiufang Yu repeatedly promised to be "obedient" did Qi Huan put him on the list.

When the shop owner and senior A Luan heard that they were going to the Empire, they immediately expressed their desire to go with them. Qi Huan had just taken the gold-removing armor that the shop owner had helped Jiu Fangyu upgrade, so he naturally felt embarrassed to refuse the seniors' request.

The other person who was going with him was Diwu Yuan. After leaving the game, the young master had always wanted to find an opportunity to meet Xia Tianwu, but he was too busy to find the time, and his family was worried about him going to the Empire alone. When he heard that Qi Huan and the others were going there, he thought about taking the "Follow the Wind Ship" to go together.

Si Liang originally wanted to go with them, but Si Wen happened to come over to visit him and Jiufang Yan in a while. For the sake of his father, the little guy gave up his travel plans with Qi Huan and the others.

The group submitted their application data one after another, and after more than ten days they were all approved and set off successfully.

After two days of sailing, they arrived at the border airport K377 where the forces of the Alliance, the Empire, and Fangxing met.

The pilots of the maintenance team were busy checking the condition of the starship and replenishing energy. Qi Huan, Jiu Fangyu, Diwuyuan and the shop owner A Luan were all here for the first time, and the whole family, big and small, went shopping out of curiosity.

As the intersection of three forces, K377 is much more lively than any port Qi Huan has ever seen, and the commercial street is filled with special souvenirs, snacks, and gifts from all over.

Qi Huan immediately started shopping and began a shopping spree.

"Haven't you prepared a lot of gifts for them?" Jiufang Yu was puzzled when he saw Qi Huan looking at an ugly doll hand-made from fruit shells and stones with great interest.

"As for gifts, the more the better." Qi Huan said as he paid for two.

Jiufang Yu watched the shopkeeper happily packing the two ugly dolls for Qi Huan, sighed softly, and then silently took the packed bag.

Compared to his lack of principles when it comes to souvenirs, Qi Huan is obviously much more picky when it comes to food products and instantly switches to complaining mode.

Jiu Fangyu, who was standing next to him, heard someone muttering as he looked at the fruit, "What the hell is this? The skin is so thick and the flesh is so little. Do you have a shared area for this fruit?"

"What the hell, this thing is worthy of being called a snack? Isn't it too weird?"

"How dare you sell something this disgusting? You have no conscience and you have invaded this track."

…

Compared to a few months ago, his little star chef's sharp tongue was still as powerful as ever and full of energy. Jiufang Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

Two days later, the small starship Human Restaurant finally arrived at the Queen Star.

Hearing the Chinese and English spoken by the people around him, Qi Huan was in a trance for a moment. If it weren't for the two bright suns in the sky, he would even think he was back on Earth.

The shop owner and Senior A Luan went out to play as soon as they landed, while Diwuyuan had already made arrangements with Song Ci and Zhang Chi through Xia Tianwu.

Hearing that Diwuyuan had brought two friends with him, Xia Tianwu felt that it might not be appropriate to bring them to Tang Si and Song Ci's homes rashly, so he treated everyone to lunch at a famous restaurant on Queen Star.

Jiufang Yu did receive a reply from Tang Si, but Diwuyuan had already become friends with Xia Tianwu Yue, and he was not particularly familiar with Tang Si, so he vaguely said that one of his friends was a fan of him and Song Ci, and that they happened to be visiting Queen Star these two days, and they should meet when they had time. Tang Si agreed immediately.

Qi Huan and his friends were unfamiliar with the place and it took them some time to find a restaurant. By the time they arrived at Xia Tianwuding's private room, Song Ci, Tang Si, Zhang Chi and Xia Tianwu had already been seated for a long time.

Along the way, Qi Huan was imagining in his mind the scene of meeting Song Ci and Zhang Chi later, thinking about how to greet them appropriately without scaring them.

As a result, the door of the box opened, and the moment Song Ci and Zhang Chi, who were chatting in a low voice, turned their heads to look over, Qi Huan, who had been preparing a speech in his mind all the way, was suddenly choked.

Seeing those two faces again, which seemed like they were from another world, he was overwhelmed with emotions and couldn't utter a word.

"Huanhuan?"

"elder brother?"

Song Ci and Zhang Chi exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Qi Huan nodded vigorously, and Song Ci and Zhang Chi immediately stood up and went to meet him, bumping into the tables and chairs along the way.

Tang Si also had a look of surprise on his face. He never expected that one of the friends that Xia Tianwu mentioned that Diwu Yuan would bring was actually Jiufang Yu.

Jiufang Yu nodded politely towards Tang Si, then pointed at Qi Huan with his chin, indicating that the person he was talking about was Qi Huan.

"Is it really you?" Song Ci looked at Qi Huan's forehead and grabbed his left hand, while Zhang Chi excitedly grabbed Qi Huan's right hand.

"It's me. I'll explain to you about the scar later." Qi Huan knew that Song Ci was probably looking for the burn on his forehead and the scar on his finger, but because Jiufang Yu was present, he couldn't tell them directly about his time travel.

"I want to eat braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, beer duck, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, beef stew with potatoes, curry chicken, lion head, dry pot shrimp, honey chicken wings, and beef with enoki mushrooms!" Song Ci recited a series of home-cooked dishes in a repetitive manner.

"I'll give you an egg of all things in the universe." Qi Huan mentioned the dish named by their roommate.

Song Ci took a deep breath, nodded, half turned around and said to Xia Tianwu and Tang Si who were still sitting in their original seats, "Let's go home."

"Now? Not eating?" Xia Tianwu and Diwuyuan looked at each other in astonishment.

Tang Si didn't hesitate at all. He stood up immediately and took the coats that Qi Huan and Zhang Chi had put on the back of the chair.

"Let's go home and eat." Song Ci happily grabbed Qi Huan's wrist and walked out. He was fed up with the awful food in this damn place. Only a fool would stay and suffer for Huan Huan, the chef.

"Yes, let's go home and eat." Zhang Chi also nodded repeatedly and surrounded Qi Huan as they walked out.

"I also want to eat Hun Yang Mo Hu." Song Ci added as he walked. He had wanted to eat this dish since he saw it in a book before, but Qi Huan thought this dish was troublesome and wasteful and had always refused to make it for him.

"Do you think I look like Hun Yang Mo Hu?" Qi Huan threw out a classic quote from northern parents.
