Chapter 62

Chapter Sixty-Two

"Waiter, how was the universe created?" Xiao Liunian asked.

The sun is everywhere, blazing and bright; the moon hangs high everywhere, cold and lonely; and there are stars shining in the sky along with the moon.

Are these naturally produced, or are they available for wholesale?

“Some are naturally formed, and some are created. It’s very complex, and I don’t know much about it either,” the waiter said.

"So what area do you know best?" Xiao Liunian asked, having previously guessed that Xiao Er might be a member of the space maintenance department.

"Emergency management, I suppose," the waiter said after thinking for a moment.

"This area is very broad, including dealing with heresies and repairing defects. The ultimate goal is to maintain the sustainable and stable development of the universe," Xiao Er further explained.

"What's going on with the system world?" Xiao Liunian was very curious. Could it be that Blue Cat was also from the emergency management department?

“A higher-dimensional universe, but a bit special,” Xiao Er explained.

It's special. I've seen plenty of Xiao Liunian filling in the gaps, but this is the first time I've seen someone repairing the universe.

"Thirteen, do you know about these things?" Xiao Liunian asked.

"I don't know, I'm a new student and I don't have the authority to know about such things," Blue Cat said, yawning.

Tong is very sleepy and needs to sleep.

The host was the one who said he wanted to sleep at first, so how come he's wide awake again now that he's lying in the tent? Does drowsiness expire?

"Go to sleep." Xiao Liunian coaxed the newborn baby to sleep.

The moon and sun, distributed uniformly throughout the universe, have completed their handover of duties.

The testing was completed last night, and Xiao Liunian is currently reviewing the test report, which again shows no abnormalities.

"Waiter, divide this planet into new sections based on the number of natural disasters it has suffered," Xiao Liunian said.

"Why?" Blue Cat asked.

"According to the usual pattern, there are always various natural disasters as warnings before the end of the world," Xiao Liunian explained.

A while later, System 02 discovered a place—a place that was quite perfect and had never suffered any natural disasters.

This planet is gradually being eroded by external forces and is on the verge of destruction. Geological changes occur frequently, but this place always manages to perfectly avoid them.

This is the most perfect and most suitable place to live, but it is also the strangest place.

"Let's go then." The teleportation function was activated, and the person, cat, and tiger left the spot.

"Wow, so many people!" Blue Cat exclaimed, looking at the bustling street.

"With few natural disasters and a good ecological environment, many people will naturally live here." If possible, Xiao Liunian would also like to find such a place and live quietly for a while.

"Then how do we find the white stone?" Blue Cat asked.

Although the system functions perfectly, it is precisely because it is functioning normally that the exact location of the white stone remains uncertain.

"No rush, let's take a look around first. It's a rare treat to come to an alien planet, we should bring back some souvenirs." Xiao Liunian led the two furry children into the bustling street.

"Mumu, do you have any money?" Blue Cat asked. This is another planet; surely we can't use Jinling Kingdom's money here?

“Yes, I do,” Xiao Liunian said proudly, while taking out the “money” from his spatial storage and showing it to Blue Cat.

"Where did you find this?" Blue Cat asked curiously.

“Those people in the dungeon,” Xiao Liunian said.

The day after capturing the outsider, Xiao Liunian arrived here with two officers.

Blue Cat was curious: When did the host do all these things? Not only can he communicate normally with the people here, but he can also understand the local writing.

Blue Cat remembers that it and Xiao Er always stayed with their host and never saw their host learning language and writing.

"So, Mumu, you secretly got up in the middle of the night to work overtime, didn't you?" Blue Cat suddenly chuckled. The host was working overtime, while the system was sleeping.

“No!” Xiao Liunian said.

"When did you start learning languages ​​and writing?" Apart from that night, Blue Cat couldn't imagine that Xiao Liunian had any other time to study.

"The system has instructional videos. Just watch them at multiple speeds before bed, and they'll even help you fall asleep." Xiao Liunian described learning as very easy, and in reality, it was effortless.

"You can learn it after just one look?" Blue Cat was stunned. What an incredible learning ability!

Indeed, you can learn it after watching it once. Xiao Liunian doesn't know the reason for this. He feels that his physical abilities are very strong. Could it be that being reborn again and again can improve his talent?

"Back then, you even pretended to learn the language and writing of Nanjing! And you studied it for a long time!" Blue Cat recalled the time when Xiao Liunian first deceived the emperor.

"I'm so lonely. I finally made a new friend, so..." Xiao Liunian's voice gradually weakened, her eyes filled with a cautious apology and the joy of meeting a new friend as she looked at Blue Cat.

"Fine, I won't hold it against you." Blue Cat surrendered, even feeling a little apologetic for bringing up the past and upsetting its host.

At first glance, the waiter's face appeared expressionless, but upon closer inspection, it was filled with admiration for Xiao Liunian's acting skills and speechless disbelief at the system's naivety.

"I'm hungry!" the waiter said, interrupting the two from their upcoming heartfelt conversation.

"I'm hungry too!" Blue Cat rubbed its belly.

"The belly is a little flat." Xiao Liunian looked at the cat's belly, which seemed to be a little flat, and decided to put shopping aside for now. Eating was the most important thing at the moment.

Finding a restaurant, booking a private room, and ordering food are all done in one go.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xiao Liunian asked curiously, staring at the blue cat.

The colorful dishes filled the entire table. Because the dishes were so brightly colored, Xiao Liunian hesitated to eat them and waited for the food expert Lan Maomao to give his feedback.

"Not bad!" Blue Cat, the culinary master, commented after tasting each bite.

"Then I'll give it a try." Xiao Liunian picked up a piece of red, chunky food—pretending it was watermelon—chewed it slowly for a while, then swallowed it with difficulty, and then took out the remaining tea from his space and gulped it down.

Xiao Liunian felt that she might not be used to this food, so she decided to eat the remaining dry food instead.

"Is it not tasty? I think it's quite delicious." Blue Cat continued its battle with the food.

This meal demonstrates that Xiao Liunian has a cat that is not picky about anything and whose taste buds can satisfy any food.

"Linmu, how are we supposed to find the stones?" the waiter asked. The system couldn't detect anything unusual here, so how were they supposed to find the stones?

"Perhaps we can utilize the resonance between energies." Xiao Liunian had absorbed the energy of five white stones, and this power existed within his body.

As soon as Xiao Liunian approached this place, he felt a very subtle sensation coming from within his body.

This is very likely a resonance between white energies.

"When do we set off?" the waiter asked.

"Hey waiter, are you in a hurry?" The cat, who was enjoying its meal, took a moment to look up from its food and asked.

Xiao Er was always steady and slow, and it seemed that everything could be easily resolved.

At any time, Xiao Er's composure and calmness were on par with the host's.

Xiao Liunian looked at the food that the waiter hadn't touched. Not only were all the dishes on the table untouched, but the dry rations he had taken out from his spatial storage were also untouched.

"Waiter, I didn't realize you were so picky about food," Xiao Liunian teased.

"No!" the waiter denied earnestly, his tone carrying only a hint of embarrassment and anger.

We've almost finished the food we prepared for this trip; what's left is just dry rations, which provide energy but taste mediocre.

"Then let's set off quickly!" Blue Cat stopped fighting with its food, walked in front of Xiao Liunian, raised its head to indicate that its host should wipe its mouth.

"Take your time eating, there's no rush to leave," the waiter said.

"I'm full." After wiping its mouth, the blue cat jumped onto Xiao Liunian's left shoulder and squatted down, indicating that it was ready to leave at any time.

"Let's go then." Xiao Liunian left the restaurant with the two children.

Guided by the resonance between energies, Xiao Liunian finally arrived at a place where mountains gathered.

"Mumu, it's nighttime." Blue Cat sighed from the side.

"What happened tonight?" the waiter asked.

"A dark and windy night is perfect for doing something special," Blue Cat said in a mysterious tone.

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Liunian, knowing that his host had done quite a lot during the dark and windy night.

"The night is beautiful, and a gentle breeze is blowing. Where does this dark and windy night come from?" Xiao Liunian looked at the moon hanging high in the sky. It was a full moon, and it was very beautiful.

"That's an adjective," Blue Cat explained.

Just as Blue Cat was about to say something, Xiao Liunian instantly left his spot and took refuge on a giant tree.

"There's someone here?" Blue Cat exclaimed quietly.

"Let's hear why they've come here," Xiao Liunian said.

——

“It’s finally our turn to cultivate here,” one of them said.

“Yes, many of those who practiced here before are now all masters in their own right,” someone echoed.

"We can do it too."

"Let's follow them and see if the system's stealth function still works," Xiao Liunian asked.

"Can."

Xiao Liunian followed the group into the mountains.

The closer Xiao Liunian got to the mountaintop, the stronger the resonance of energy within his body became.

Upon reaching the summit, a massive sinkhole came into view for Xiao Liunian.

The mountains converge here in perfect harmony, their peaks nestled together to form a massive sinkhole, which Xiao Liunian estimates to be three thousand meters in diameter.

The outermost edge of the sinkhole is covered with houses, and many people are practicing martial arts with their eyes closed inside and outside the courtyard.

At the very center of the sinkhole, there is a huge rock embedded there, and the white stone that Xiao Liunian was looking for is this one.

Xiao Liunian slowly stepped forward, and the energy resonance within his body intensified. As he got closer to the boulder, the white boulder gradually absorbed the power within him.

It seems that this is why these people only cultivate at the edge of the sinkhole.

Xiao Liunian stopped approaching the boulder.

"Mumu, why are they able to absorb this power?" Blue Cat asked, puzzled.

"Perhaps it's the fusion of yin and yang? Or the attraction between opposite sexes?" Xiao Liunian guessed uncertainly.

"Then same-sex couples are mutually exclusive!" Blue Cat retorted.

"Perhaps humans are complex animals? They can mutate?" Xiao Liunian gave two more uncertain answers.

"Why were the black stones on Tianji Star not discovered, while the white boulders here were?" Blue Cat continued to ask.

“If there are alien life forms on Tianji Star, there’s no reason why there shouldn’t be any here, right?” Xiao Liunian retorted.

“If I can survive after the energy enters my body, others should be able to as well,” Xiao Liunian continued.

Perhaps this person is the real genius, rather than someone who has gotten to where they are today by living more lives or accumulating more experience.

"Mumu, could that person be the system host we captured?" Blue Cat suddenly thought of something.

"Probably not. The invasion of Tianji Star happened hundreds of years ago," Xiao Liunian said.

"But it's also possible, what if the other party lives a long time?" Xiao Liunian offered another conjecture.

After all, this is a mixed world, and it's normal to have strange people and strange things.

"Okay," Blue Cat said helplessly.

"I'll absorb the energy from this stone first." Xiao Liunian began to accomplish his ultimate goal of coming here.

With his hands pressed against the white boulder, Xiao Liunian quickly absorbed the energy into his body.

However, Xiao Liunian's energy was being absorbed by the boulder at the same time, and the winner would be the one who was faster.

The absorption and being absorbed continued for a long time. Xiao Liunian even took a break to eat a couple of bites of dry rations. After finishing the rations, Xiao Liunian's absorption speed of the white boulder's energy increased even further.

"You're quite picky about food, aren't you?" the waiter remarked casually from the side.

As Xiao Liunian absorbed the energy from the giant rock, the white giant rock shrank in size. The people at the very edge of the sinkhole had all gathered together and began to search for the reason why the giant rock had shrunk.

Due to the system's invisibility function, they could only see the boulder shrinking. Many people wanted to get closer to see the specific situation, but as soon as they got close, their power would be absorbed, so they had no choice but to retreat to the edge of the sinkhole.

After three days and three nights of tireless effort, Xiao Liunian finally absorbed all the energy from the boulder, leaving not a trace.

After absorbing the energy, Xiao Liunian returned to the crater, preparing to return to Tianji Star.

"Lin Mu, this area will only be stable if this boulder is here," the waiter said.

"I know," Xiao Liunian said nonchalantly.

Without this stone, the long-standing stability of this region will be lost, natural disasters will no longer bypass this area, and it will become dangerous.

But Xiao Liunian must obtain the energy from this boulder, and everything will be over soon.

Blue Cat felt that the atmosphere between the host and System 02 was a bit strange, but it couldn't figure out what was strange about it.

The waiter didn't say anything more; it respected the host's choice.

After five days, Xiao Liunian concluded his journey to the alien planet and returned to the Sujin Desert on Tianji Star.
