Blue Hometown

Early in the morning, Yu Sheng was dressed up like a gentleman attending a banquet again and was led by Frey to sit on the hovercraft.

I thought Frey's mansion was already magnificent, but when I arrived at the Moss Palace, Yu Sheng truly felt for the first time what the pinnacle of luxury in the architectural world was.

The Moss Palace is actually floating in the air!

Yu Sheng stared, trying to find pillars, steel frames, or anything else that could support the palace, but all failed. The massive palace resembled an enchanted dragon's castle, beneath which lay an endless sea of ​​flowers. The palace hovered a dozen meters above the sea of ​​flowers, and Yu Sheng even imagined it falling and crushing the entire sea of ​​flowers.

The level of technology of the interstellar people far exceeded Yu Sheng's imagination, which made him feel a greater sense of crisis. To support such a large palace levitating, it must have consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

At the entrance to the palace stood a long, transparent, floor-to-ceiling spiral staircase. As Yu Sheng followed Frey up, he felt as if he were on a stairway to heaven. Two elegantly dressed maids stood at the entrance, bowing to the guests who had come from afar.

Led by a beautiful maid, Frey led Yu Sheng by the hand to the magnificent reception hall. As soon as they stepped into the hall, Yu Sheng was stunned because Moss was holding Caesar on his lap and slapping Caesar's butt hard, like an adult scolding a disobedient child!

Frey paused for a moment and frowned deeply, "Moss, you—"

"The pet has been a little bit misbehaving lately," Moss said lightly, glancing at Frey's and Yu Sheng's linked hands. "Tsk, you're still doting on your Bell as always. Be careful not to overindulge her."

Yu Sheng looked away, unwilling to watch Caesar's humiliation. He no longer had the impulsiveness to punch Moss that he had before. His time and experiences in interstellar life had given Yu Sheng a clear understanding of his place.

Nothing can change this reality except finding a way to escape.

Moss let Caesar go, patted Caesar's head, and fed him a bag of blue beast snacks. "Go play with Lingling, and remember to be good."

As Caesar stood up, he heard Moss say from behind, "Baby, don't you think you forgot something?"

He turned around and shyly kissed Moss on the side of his face, but Moss grabbed him back into his arms, pressed his lips together, and kissed deeply for nearly ten seconds before letting Caesar go.

The punishment was finally over, and Caesar hurried over to invite Yu Sheng, "Lingling, do you want to play in my pet room?"

“…” Under the gaze of such a pair of pitiful, pleading watery eyes, Yu Sheng nodded and followed Xi Ze upstairs.

Caesar smiled as he introduced the Moss Palace to Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng noticed that his walking posture was very strange. Thinking about how he and Moss got along, he guessed something and frowned.

But he didn't say anything. He walked silently to Caesar, squatted down, and said softly, "Let me carry you."

Caesar was stunned for a moment, then slowly lay on Yu Sheng's back. Compared to Moss, the person carrying him was not very tall, but Caesar felt the warmth of an Earthling that he had not felt for a long time.

"What's wrong with you?" Feeling the hot and wet liquid falling on his neck, Yu Sheng suddenly stiffened, and his tone was a little panicked, "Don't cry! You..."

"I originally wanted to test you again." The low voice beside his ear was slightly hoarse, but not as delicate as the one Yu Sheng had heard before. "But now I am willing to believe you. Lingling, can you tell me your real name?"

Yu Sheng vaguely sensed the change in the aura of the person on his back. This aura gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity. "My name is Yu Sheng."

"Yusheng, does it mean 'endless life' in Chinese?" Xi Ze laughed softly, his warm breath tickling Yusheng's neck. "I've been to the Porcelain Kingdom. It's truly a legendary country."

When someone mentioned his country for the first time in a strange galaxy, Yu Sheng's heartstrings were touched. Although his reason told him to remain vigilant against Xi Ze, his emotions couldn't help but soften.

Homeland and relatives are always the softest place in a prodigal's heart. Yu Sheng lost his relatives when he was young, and the land where he was born is his root.

For the rest of the journey, neither Yu Sheng nor Nishizawa spoke a word. Nothing could make people more speechless than this fact - they had been torn apart from their roots and would never be reconnected again.

Xi Ze's pet room was larger and more luxurious than Yu Sheng's, but it had no door, let alone a lock. The nearly five-meter-long bed and the entire cabinet filled with sex toys left Yu Sheng dumbfounded. He stood at the doorway, hesitant, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet.

Caesar had regained his previous gentle and well-behaved image. He enthusiastically asked Yu Sheng if he wanted some snacks, and gave Yu Sheng some high-tech toys prepared by Moss.

Yu Sheng was holding a toy that looked like a motion-sensing game console, a bit distracted. He wanted to ask what Nishizawa meant by what he said, but when he looked around, he noticed a tiny, pinpoint reflection in the cracks between the stickers on the wall.

Yu Sheng didn't dare to speak casually. He knew with his toes what would happen to Xi Ze if he was exposed.

The two chatted about a few harmless topics in this familiar atmosphere. Then Caesar got up from the carpet and asked quietly, "Lingling, are you hungry? Let's go find our master for dinner?"

Yu Sheng nodded and carried Caesar on his back again. Just a few steps out of the pet room, he heard Caesar whisper, "If you have a chance to go online, go to water area 436607 on the virtual ocean floor."

Before he could say more, Frey and Moss appeared at the end of his sight. Caesar immediately shut his mouth and remained silent.

Moss raised the corner of his lips. "Your Lingling is quite a gentleman, isn't he? Could he be interested in my baby? Two males can't have sex."

Frey glanced at Moss with a look that said "you're crazy" and didn't respond.

The lunch prepared by the Moss family for their guests was very sumptuous. Yu Sheng drooled at the sight of the delicious food on the table, but what was placed in front of him and Caesar were only a dozen flavors of blue beast food.

Rich yet bland.

Yu Sheng ate the dry blue animal food while drooling at the delicious food on the table.

Frey himself didn't have much of an appetite, but it was rare for him to see Yu Sheng react so adorably. He raised the corners of his lips and pinched Yu Sheng's cheek, "Want to eat?"

Yu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about Frey's overly intimate behavior. He nodded, looking forward to having a taste.

Although eating too much interstellar food will cause diarrhea, it shouldn't be a problem if you only eat a little of each, right?

Seeing this, Moss, who was sitting opposite, looked at Caesar in his arms. Caesar was eating the blue animal food in the bowl obediently, without any sign of dissatisfaction.

Moss kissed Caesar with satisfaction. His own beloved pet was always well-behaved and obedient, but the one from Frey's family was simply a typical spoiled pet.

Seeing that Frey had no intention of letting him taste it, the "spoiled" Yu Sheng had already reached out to the small plate of fried beef ribs. The freshly fried beef ribs were crispy and tender, and drizzled with dark sauce, which was very tempting.

I'll just take a bite. Yu Sheng thought, it'll be alright if I take a bite.

Just as his hand was about to touch the edge of the plate, it was stopped by another hand. Frey wrapped Yu Sheng's warm hand in his own palm and said lightly, "Be good, let's go back and see if there is any beef in the Blue Beast snacks."

"..." Isn't that just a snack? It's completely different from a freshly prepared delicacy, okay?

Yu Sheng sighed softly. It seemed that he could only enjoy delicious food on the Star Network from now on.

After dinner, Moss suddenly had the urge to play games with Yu Sheng and Caesar. Yu Sheng tried to find a chance to communicate with Caesar, but was forced to give up because Moss was always by his side.

After returning from Moss's house, Frey ordered a bunch of Blue Beast snacks with different flavors and ingredients for Yu Sheng, but Yu Sheng still had no interest. He just wanted to surf the internet. Besides eating, the most important thing was the place Caesar wanted to go alone - the virtual seabed with water number 436607.

What on earth could be found in this remote and desolate-sounding body of water?

Yu Sheng had a vague feeling that this body of water would serve as a bridge for his escape plan.

After climbing into the virtual cabin and connecting to the interstellar network, Yu Sheng boarded the interstellar network's unique mode of transportation—the Pegasus. After selecting the virtual sea, the Pegasus quickly carried him to a small island in the center of the virtual sea.

The water areas are numbered from here, extending from one to one billion.

In the virtual seabed, you can breathe freely without oxygen and will not be subjected to water pressure. This is why so many people "rent a room" in the virtual seabed. After all, in real life, it is still quite difficult to freely have sex in the water without any equipment.

At the same time, it is difficult to be caught by the Internet police in the water area unless someone reports it. Otherwise, there are a total of one billion water areas, and the law enforcement team can only randomly select numbers to "check the room", which is relatively safe and concealed.

Yu Sheng had never come to the virtual seabed to catch anyone. After all, it was still uncertain whether there were people in the waters that were randomly inspected. He himself did not like the overly dark environment underwater, which would make him nervous.

Yu Sheng chose to be transported to water area 436607. Instantly, a light array enveloped him, and a gentle electronic voice whispered in his ear, "Dear user, if you suffer from deep-sea phobia, claustrophobia, or any other condition that would make you unsuitable for entering the seabed, please consider carefully. Do you confirm your intention to enter water area 436607?"

Yu Sheng chooses "yes"

The light array activated, and Yu Sheng disappeared. The next second, he was surrounded by icy seawater, pitch black, unable to see anything. After a moment of adjustment, Yu Sheng still struggled to discern the light source. Suddenly, he remembered that there seemed to be a lighting option in his personal dashboard, which he used in Night City on the Star Network. He quickly opened the panel and clicked on it.

With a "ding" sound, light burst out from Yu Sheng's head, illuminating the water area with a radius of about 100 meters with his body as the center.

Yu Sheng first saw strange plants growing on the seabed, and then saw fish and unidentified small creatures swimming among the plants. His doubts deepened. What on earth did Xi Ze want him to do here? It really seemed like an ordinary body of water.

The area around No. 436607 was enormous. Yu Sheng made marks while wandering around, trying to find anything unusual, but he failed. Just as he was about to give up, a huge shell appeared before him. The more he looked at it, the more he felt it was odd. He first tapped on it tentatively, then tried to pry it open along the seams.

After fiddling with the shell for a long time, the shell didn't budge at all. Yu Sheng sighed and was about to leave when the large lid on the shell suddenly popped up. A tall girl with a ponytail jumped out, pinching her waist and looking at Yu Sheng, "Are you Yu Sheng?"

Yu Sheng was startled by the girl and nodded when he heard it. His eyes were focused on the shell that the girl with the ponytail jumped out of. The shell was hollow and there was a huge hole at the bottom. It was pitch black inside the hole and looked a bit scary.

"Come with me!" The girl with the ponytail waved to Yu Sheng, then jumped back into the cave first. Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then followed. When his body was completely submerged in the cave, he glanced up and saw that the shell had automatically closed.

Climbing through the wet and slippery stone walls was a difficult task. She remembered how clumsy and slow she was when she first drilled this hole, but now she could move through it at lightning speed. She stopped, thinking she would have to wait for the newcomers who had never climbed before, but when she turned around, she met Yu Sheng's eyes.

"Aren't you leaving?" Yu Sheng asked doubtfully.

"..." Phil didn't respond and simply turned around and continued climbing. However, he was very surprised in his heart that the newcomer had quite good skills.

After climbing a long distance, they finally saw light ahead. Phil jumped out first, waving at Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng also jumped out, and what came into view was a modern and spacious living room, with tables, chairs, sofas, coffee tables and other furniture. The room was also very lively, with many young people gathered here.

Just as Yu Sheng was looking at the environment, more than thirty pairs of eyes were fixed on Yu Sheng, with scrutiny, speculation and questioning in their eyes, and of course, acceptance and joy.

Phil clapped his hands and shouted, "Guys, the new guy that Boss Azure personally asked us to take good care of has arrived!"

A tall, thin young man pushed up his glasses and said gently, "Hello, Yusheng, welcome to the Freedom Alliance. Since you've come here, it means you're a trustworthy and reliable partner. I hope we can get along well. Let me introduce myself. My name is Randy, and I'm an unknown writer in real life."

Yu Sheng was confused. He asked sheepishly, "Wait a minute, I was actually introduced by Caesar. Have you met Caesar?"

"Xize, who is that?" Everyone was confused. Phil said, "What's with Dongze and Xize? You're the boss of our Freedom Alliance, and it was the Blue Homeland that specifically asked you to join!"

Azure hometown? Yu Sheng was stunned, a little confused.

Randy's eyes flashed, and he interrupted at the right time to change the subject, "Okay, don't worry about it. The important thing now is for our new friends to get to know us. Yu Sheng, do you mind if I act as your commentator?"

Randy's smile made it hard for anyone to be on guard. Yu Sheng relaxed a little and nodded politely, "Thank you very much."
