Xi Chunzhi wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, got off the treadmill, and took the communicator.
This communicator is her personal one, and usually no one sends her messages.
There was only one message in it.
Sender’s name: Tu Ran.
Xi Chunzhi's fingers froze. Didn't Tu Ran go to the Ruler World? When did she come back? She quickly clicked in, sat on a chair in the lounge, and browsed the content of the message.
"My dear Junzhi: Did you miss me? [blow kiss.jpg"]"
Xi Chunzhi: “…”
The screen was hit hard, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
"I'm back from the ruler world!! Are you happy? Are you excited? [Cheers.jpg]"
Xi Chunzhi held his forehead with his hand and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Tu Ran, whom he had been worried about day and night, seemed to be living well over there.
She continued reading.
"But I have to go, it's too late to see you. [sad.jpg]"
The corners of Xi Chunzhi's lips, which had been raised before, slowly fell.
“I found a solution to the fusion of universes.
Let the supreme commander of the ruling world eat the last fragment of the Order Cube, and then lure him to self-destruct. The Order Cube can then use his body as energy to restore itself, and the order of the universe will be restored.
Does it sound easy? No! [covering face and crying.jpg] You don't know how powerful their self-detonation is. I was almost blown up last time when I went to see my grandmother.
So this matter needs to be considered carefully.
Fortunately, I met a very smart person in the world of rulers. Although she looks unreliable, the feeling she gives me is, uh... how to put it, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
With her help, my chances of success skyrocketed.
Wait for my good news."
Xi Chunzhi's wrists hung on his knees. He stared at the fitness equipment in a daze for a moment, then suddenly stood up, tore off the towel from his neck and threw it on the seat.
"Sister Xi, where are we going?" The waiting subordinate followed and asked.
"Go to the research institute."
…
"Dean, someone is looking for you."
"My name is Xi Chunzhi."
Xie Xu paused in his work, as if thinking about why Xi Chunzhi came to him. After a moment, he took off the eyepiece and gloves for his right eye, stood up from the table, and said, "Take her to my studio."
"yes."
Inside the studio.
Xi Chunzhi looked around and finally his eyes fell on Xie Xu. "I heard that you are currently researching a space travel project."
Xie Xu sat on the sofa and poured two cups of tea. He pushed one cup to Xi Chunzhi's direction, picked up his own cup, sipped it, and said in a light voice, "Is the bounty hunter so well-informed?"
"Send me to the world of rulers." Xi Chunzhi went straight to the point.
"Tu Ran doesn't need you." The tone was polite yet cold.
Xi Chunzhi took a step forward, suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out, "She is alone."
Xie Xu slowly put down the teacup, raised his eyes, and said in a calm voice, "It's better to be alone than to carry another burden."
Xi Chunzhi took a deep breath, walked quickly forward, sat on the sofa opposite Xie Xu, looked directly into Xie Xu's eyes, and vowed: "I can help her."
Xie Xu lowered his eyes, as if thinking, and after a moment, asked, "What abilities do you have now?"
"Damage transfer, the damage done by the enemy to me can be transferred to the other party. Possession, through touch, I can control other people's bodies. Eye of Fortuna, foresee the life and death of others. There are also some offensive abilities."
"I'll give you another supernatural power."
"What?"
“Life is shared.”
…
The institute's space shuttle equipment was developed not long ago and is still in the experimental stage. Previously, only objects and low-level animals were used for experiments. Xi Chunzhi is the first human to experience it.
This device can achieve fixed-point teleportation, but the travel time is limited. One can only stay in another world for two hours. After two hours, one will be forced to be sent back.
After drinking a special potion, Xi Chunzhi's body established some kind of connection with the shuttle device, and then she entered the equipment cabin and lay down.
The instrument started up and she disappeared from the equipment cabin in an instant.
…
…
Two hours later.
The equipment hatch opened and Xi Chunzhi walked out. Standing outside waiting were not only Xie Xu, but also Xie Zhao, who was now the head of the federation.
"How about it?"
Xi Chunzhi heard someone ask this, but she didn't hear clearly who asked it. Her head was still buzzing. In front of her was the last scene she saw in the ruler's world. Ha Che Bulu used his body to detonate the speeding star. At the moment of the explosion, the whole world was pale and her eyes were almost blind.
"It's...successful."
"Dean! Dean! The threshold wall has collapsed! The threshold door has disappeared!"
The researcher rushed over and passed the news to the entire laboratory.
The order of the universe has really been restored! Xi Chunzhi was also sent to the nutrition cabin of the medical department for recuperation because of the great damage to his body caused by using the imperfect shuttle equipment.
During this period, Meng Fanchen brought his friends to visit many times, and even transferred people from other departments to take care of Xi Chunzhi.
Because he knew that Xi Chunzhi was Tu Ran's good sister.
"Doppelganger? How cool! She actually has this kind of power! My goddess is so amazing!"
Xi Chunzhi leaned back on the bed and rolled her eyes at the snow-white ceiling. This was the fifth time today that Meng Fanchen had said, "My goddess is so awesome."
Meng Fanchen placed the perfectly cut fruit plate on the table in front of Xi Chunzhi and carefully inserted a fork.
"Sister Chunzhi, thank you for sharing your life with Sister Tu Ran. From now on, you are my benefactor. All the fruits during your hospitalization will be provided by me." He patted his chest.
Xi Chunzhi chuckled, shook his head with regret, and ate the fruit in the fruit plate in silence.
"But, Sister Chunzhi, you've returned to the Federation, but where's Sister Tu Ran? Where did she go? Blue Star?"
Xi Chunzhi stopped what he was doing.
She didn't know either, that when she was forcibly pulled back, Tu Ran was still holding her hand and didn't let go.
"Maybe I should go back." She loved the world of Blue Star so much.
"Will she come to our federation again?" Meng Fanchen scratched his head embarrassedly and spoke.
Xi Chunzhi shook his head, "I don't know."
Tu Ran knew that she didn't like the Federation.
Meng Fanchen was a little disappointed, "Okay."
He still wants to see the goddess again.
After seven days of treatment in the medical department, Xi Chunzhi recovered completely. Huo came to pick her up and packed her things to be discharged from the hospital.
Uninvited guests arrived.
Xi Chunzhi looked at the person who came, let out a hiss, and stood against the wall with his arms folded. "Dean Xie, you are here at this time, it doesn't look like you are visiting a patient."
Xie Xu ignored her and Tu Ran's sarcastic tone, and said, "Zero."
A light curtain appeared in the air, and within the light curtain, a small island building in the black ocean looked very familiar.
"Mildred Islands." Xi Chunzhi pointed out directly, "The last pearl in the Federation's waters."
The light screen image changed. On the deck of a giant cruise ship, a nearly three-meter-tall genetic monster with a catfish mouth and catfish whiskers was biting two pioneers for the body of another pioneer.
At the bottom corner of the picture, Xi Chunzhi noticed a figure, it was Tu Ran, wearing the pioneer's combat uniform.
"While you were hospitalized in the medical department and your inner elixir was dug out, Tu Ran took on a mission. Genetic monsters appeared on this cruise ship. Tu Ran was ordered to rescue the humans on the cruise ship and eliminate all the genetic monsters."
The picture on the light screen changed. Tu Ran killed the catfish monster. The catfish monster's body exploded, and countless white substances erupted, spraying Tu Ran all over.
Then Tu Ran jumped into the sea to wash.
"These white substances are a kind of highly polluting insects." Xie Xu said, and he used his fingers to enlarge the picture. The insects that were stuck on Tu Ran's body and squirming were clearly visible.
"Now, many mutant fish have appeared in the waters of the Mildred Islands. They all come from here. Because other waters are seriously polluted and have deadly toxicity, they are not suitable for survival. They have come ashore in the Mildred Islands, posing a great danger to the island's environment and the safety of the islanders."
"So?" Xi Chunzhi picked up a solitary flower from the vase on the bedside table, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, "Don't forget, I'm no longer a pioneer."
"I am here as a guest to discuss cooperation with the 'Assassin' of the Hunter Organization."
Xi Chunzhi threw the flowers back into the vase. "Then we have to go through the formal procedures. Dean Xie, prepare the money and come to find me at the night bar in the Ansha Black Market. We will discuss the relevant details."
After leaving a few words, Xi Chunzhi waved to Huo, and they both left.

…
“Author’s words:”
The hole left by Tu Ran in the federal world will be filled by Chun Zhi.
Because Tu Ran doesn't like the Federation and she doesn't have any good feelings towards it, so she won't come back specifically.
But in order to visit Xi Chunzhi, he might come back occasionally, and Xi Chunzhi would also find a way to visit Tu Ran in her world.
(Although the order of the universe has been restored, the heroine's "time and space manipulation" ability is real. The Federation has also invented a machine that can travel through time and space. There is also the Harnden galaxy. The Federation's own strength is there, and inventing similar machines is no problem. So many people can still travel through time and space.) Xi Chunzhi was born and raised in the Federation. What she hates is the Federation's chaebol system. She herself still hopes that the Federation can get better and better (this is also mentioned briefly in the text), so it's perfect for her to fill the gap.
I won’t go into detail about what to fill in and how to fill it in.
