“Every time I come here and hear you say those words, ‘iao…’, my heart skips a beat,” said Dr. Lorelei, whose features were as delicate as a scalpel.

"Have you fallen in love with him?" the dinosaur-headed warrior asked earnestly.

"I solve problems using test tubes in a sterile laboratory, and I don't like any organisms outside of a sterile laboratory."

A small spaceship slowly approached, extending out of the walkway to form a passage between itself and the Long Day spaceship.

"Are you also afraid of the 'winner'?" Yoon Seul-ri asked the female doctor.

“It’s safer to act scared,” the female doctor replied.

Everyone stepped onto the boardwalk.

The walkway is transparent.

Li Changzhou knew that some tourist attractions on Earth had glass bridges, and many people's legs would go weak when they walked on them. But now, he was walking on a glass bridge in the universe, with the outside world being close to absolute zero.

Unfortunately, his alien identity dampened the excitement.

The shuttle ship was small, only able to carry twelve people, but it was extremely luxurious. Just how luxurious—

“Captain, this shuttle ship can buy two of your ships.” These were the dinosaur-headed warrior’s exact words.

"Compared to this spaceship, the captain's only advantage is its size." This was Yin Seli's statement.

“I like big ones.” This was the female doctor. “It’s absolutely unacceptable if there’s no room for the medical room.”

This shuttle ship is so luxurious.

Li Changzhou had no time to reprimand these insubordinate subordinates; he was observing the situation with the mindset of a grandmother visiting the Grand View Garden.

Even the little radish sitting on his shoulder was more composed than him.

As the docking spacecraft departed orbit, a dazzling, silent burst of fireworks erupted before our eyes, and in the center of this sea of ​​fireworks were several words—

Welcome, Mr. Li Changzhou!

This line of text could probably be seen by half of the planet.

"Only VIPs get this kind of treatment!" The engineer's thick head was pressed against the ground. "Oh~, the latest Bee Engine, the sound is so beautiful."

Houhou and Dayi are both tentacle monsters, but they are not of the same race.

With their thick, large heads and small, non-extensible tentacles, they clearly belong to a race that does mental work.

"Captain, what are you doing, Mr. Li?" The short-haired beauty asked Li Changzhou through the thick head of his head, stepping on it with one foot.

Houhou looked completely infatuated. Don't get me wrong, although he's a tentacle monster, he's not a pervert. He's obsessed with the sound of engines—which seems to be a kind of perversion too?

"I have a mission." Li Changzhou looked out the porthole and really wanted to bring Yang Qinglan and his sister along so they could experience everything that had just happened.

There will be opportunities. All our efforts now are so that we can enjoy these fun moments together in the future.

"A mission?" Everyone looked at him, their eyes turning into the shape of money.

"Captain! I want to sit in the first row at the 'Si Si' concert!" shouted Navigator Dayi.

"Both the labs and medical rooms need to be upgraded. Many cosmic viruses require more advanced equipment for analysis. Captain, you don't want to suddenly have two extra arms and eyes growing from your palms, do you?" The female doctor seemed to be threatening her.

"You promised to buy me a flying car!" If it weren't for the seatbelt, Yoon Se-ri would have already stood up.

"Captain, ascend! I want to ascend again! I want a cool new head, the latest series from Lava Star!" It turns out the dinosaur head wasn't the real dinosaur head.

“I also want to upgrade.” Even the mainframe of the Long Day spaceship took the initiative to contact us, saying, “The robots on the ship need it too.”

"Spaceship, Captain, the spaceship is the most important thing! It's the foundation of everything!" Engineer Houhou shouted, trying to stand up but failing. "What's stepping on me?"

His short tentacles rose upwards, wrapping tightly around the foot that Yin Se-ri was stepping on his head; the tentacles looked like a shoe.

"You pervert!" Yin Seli kicked hard with her other foot and pulled her foot out.

"Ah!" Several thick tentacles covered his large head, some tentacles supported him as he stood up, and others gestured to Li Changzhou, "Captain, spaceship! Light speed 3000!"

"Mmm, 3000 times the speed of light."

Before Yoon Seul-ri could explode, he changed his mind and said, "But let's buy the flying car first."

Yin Se-ri kicked Hou Hou to the ground, rested her long legs on his big head, crossed her arms as if she had won everything, and her beautiful features were nonchalant yet revealed a sense of triumph.

"Ah~, little bee." Houhou lay on the ground, utterly dejected, listening to the sound of the engine—actually, not listening, but feeling it through the almost negligible vibrations.

Arnes remained silent behind the crowd.

As the shuttle entered the atmosphere, an endless forest stretched before us, with giant birds occasionally taking the shuttle as prey.

The docking spacecraft released a special signal, and the birds fled like chickens with their feathers ruffled.

The spaceship descended its altitude, soared over the forest, tearing apart the green ocean, and then rose up close to the towering mountains.

Crossing the mountains, it felt like stepping from a primitive society into a future one, where a high-tech city lay before us.

When the shuttle ship docked at the port and Li Changzhou stepped off, the world suddenly became colorful, and fireworks exploded overhead.

Everyone looked up.

Welcome, Ms. Yao and Ms. Bi!

"Are they the legendary two?" The dinosaur-headed warrior blinked.

"Captain," Engineer Houhou looked at Li Changzhou, "are you here to steal my business?"

"Probably." Li Changzhou smiled and looked away. "Let's go."

He did not stay to wait for Yaochi and Bi.

The three of them will meet at iao·1 parsec sooner or later, unless iao is particularly talkative and explains the mission twice—or perhaps their missions are different.
