While busy, Jin Chu did not forget the vague consciousness deep underground. He went down to explore several times, but found nothing.
He had two guesses. One was that there was some creature underground that he didn't know about and was about to become a spirit. The other guess was that the planet itself had developed consciousness.
This may sound unbelievable, but so many creatures on this planet have their own intelligence, even stones that can run on their own exist. This means that the planet itself has developed consciousness. What's wrong with that?
Jinchu felt a tinge of worry. He'd been the one to carry this planet around before, but what if it became a spirit and wanted to wander off on its own? This was his home! If it disappeared, where would he find it?
Jin Chu was worried and somewhat neglected the situation on the magma side. Then he found that a little guy had become a supervisor under his name.
The overseer floated around with his big, round body, supervising the digestion of the molten ore by the molten lava. If the molten lava caused a crack in the ground that was too big, or if too much molten lava splashed out, he would run over and stare at the molten lava there with a fierce look.
"Hey, take it easy, you're melting the ground!"
"Be careful! If you flow down this hillside, the whole mountain will be in trouble!"
"This branch comes here. Don't you notice that the branches over there are already very dense, but here there are very few?"
Guoguo kept mumbling orders, and Lava was very depressed, but he had to admit that what Guoguo said was right, so he could only do as he was told.
The magma's reaction was incredibly fast. With such a vast area and so many diversions, it had to attend to multiple locations simultaneously. Even at this size, Jinchu might have been unable to manage both, but the magma always reacted instantly. This level of control could perhaps be attributed to a strong mental strength.
Guoguo was flying here and there, very busy, but he was naturally active and didn't feel tired at all.
Jinchu observed them for several days and thought that the two little guys complemented each other very well and would definitely become good partners.
Two months later, Jinchu had collected everything he needed to collect, and the magma had adapted to the current rhythm. Jinchu was ready to leave. One third of the ore on a spaceship had been consumed, and Jinchu unloaded the remaining two thirds onto the ground. The alien beasts and plants would help throw these stones into the magma, and Jinchu returned to the spaceship with a ship full of empty cars and three large cars full of shiny alloy blocks.
"Guoguo, let's go!" Jinchu shouted.
Guoguo, the big melon, was still mumbling something beside the lava pool that Jinchu couldn't understand. The child's ability to speak had been improving day by day, but the syllables he used were all weird, so Jinchu couldn't understand what he was saying all of a sudden. However, since it was a communication between it and its little friend, Jinchu didn't want to figure it out. It was enough for the two of them to understand each other.
"...Huahua... Whoosh whoosh! @#￥%..." Guoguo finally said everything he wanted to say. After thinking for a while, he felt that there was nothing more to say. He floated around the big tentacle in the lava pool, and then floated towards the giant cat waiting for it in the air.
Jin Chu was on the giant cat's back, caught it, waved at the big tentacle, and the giant cat turned and paddled through the air towards the spaceship in the sky.
Jinchu and Guoguo both looked back. The big tentacle was still standing in the lava pool, with its top raised high, as if it was raising its head to watch them go. The single figure looked particularly lonely and pitiful, just like left-behind children in the countryside watching their friends leaving for school in the city.
Jin Chu was sure that it was not looking at him. Just then, the big melon in his arms sighed and looked a little depressed. He was very surprised. Was the friendship between these two so deep?
"Why don't you stay and accompany Xiao Rongrong? I will be back in three or four months at most, and you can come with me next time." Jin Chu suggested.
"Woo..." Guoguo moved left and right as if shaking his head.
Jinchu took a moment to understand what it meant: "What are you going to bring for Xiao Rongrong?"
“…” Guoguo suddenly threw herself into Jinchu’s arms and refused to say a word.
Jin Chu felt a pain in his chest from being hit by him, and he had to wrap his arms around this guy with all his strength to hold him.
Seriously, I've gained a lot of weight in the past two months. "Honestly, have you managed to eat Xiao Rongrong's energy?"
Guoguo pretended to be dead.
Well, there’s no need to ask. Judging from its size, it’s not damaged at all.
He sighed sadly, "You're not really going to keep getting fatter, are you? When will you see any change?"
As the spacecraft took off, the area on the planet that was much brighter than other places became particularly conspicuous. It had expanded several times compared to two months ago, with streaks of red magma running through it, as if it were the lifeblood of the land.
Half a month later, Jinchu returned to the vicinity of W1 Star and connected to the Internet. His computer immediately started beeping. He saw that they were all messages from Ye Ruisheng. He had been sending him one message a day for a month, mainly to confirm whether he had returned.
Jin Chu smiled unconsciously. Oh, it feels so good to be remembered by others.
Before he could reply, a call request came in. It was from Ye Ruisheng.
After the call was connected, Ye Ruisheng's handsome face appeared on the virtual screen: "Jinchu, you're back? Is everything going well?"
"It went very smoothly. Where are you now? W1 or Belfield?"
"W1 Star."
"Okay, I'll come find you right away." Jin Chu looked up and asked, "Xiaobai, how long will it take to get to Planet W1?"
Xiaobai quickly replied, "It will arrive in about five imperial days."
"Did you hear that?" Jin Chu said with a smile, "I brought you a lot of good things this time."
"I'm looking forward to it." Ye Ruisheng said with a smile, and suddenly his eyes froze.
A big round emerald green thing appeared next to Jinchu's head. It was a familiar color and a familiar shape, but the model was not familiar at all.
Ye Ruisheng asked in surprise: "Guoguo has grown so big?" He estimated that he was more than three times the size when he left.
Jinchu looked helplessly at Guoguo who came closer: "Yeah, I don't know how big it will be."
"...If it can be guaranteed to be healthy, it doesn't matter if it's a little bigger." Ye Ruisheng said after thinking for a while.
I can't really guarantee this, but Guoguo can still fly and jump, so it seems there shouldn't be any problem.
Five days later, Jinchu arrived at Planet W1. The landing site was a secret place, and for the sake of secrecy, the current night hemisphere was chosen. Only Ye Ruisheng came to greet him.
Under the night sky, Ye Ruisheng stood beside his aircraft, watching another one fly towards him. Before it even landed, a figure jumped out of it and ran over briskly. "Have you been waiting long?"
Ye Ruisheng looked at him with a smile. He still looked between a young man and a teenager, even his smile hadn't changed at all. He reached out and hugged him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it's been a long wait."
All together, it has been three months and seven days.
No one knew how worried he was about letting Jin Chu go back alone to the unknown little flower planet. He was worried that he might get into an accident or never come back. But every time he thought that he would not give up the mining planet, and with his personality, he would not leave him without saying goodbye, he felt a little more at ease.
But no matter how he tried to comfort himself with facts and reason, it was not until he saw this person again at this moment that his heart finally settled down.
At this moment, he suddenly longed for power and wanted to become even stronger.
Strong enough to control all situations, strong enough to have no worries.
Instead of being like now, he didn't have the confidence to tell Jin Chu that as long as he was there, no one could find Xiao Huaxing or touch Xiao Huaxing, so he could trust himself completely.
There was no need for him to be afraid to fight for it when Jinchu didn't want him to go to Xiaohua Star - Jinchu could disappear for several months without reason, but he couldn't, because too many eyes were on him.
Jin Chu accepted this embrace full of passion and longing. After being separated for a few months, he really missed this person. In the past, this kind of emotion rarely appeared in him, especially in the last few days, he always felt that time was passing so slowly.
Guoguo floated around them, but couldn't find a place to fit his huge body, so he had to squat aside and grind the soil.
After a long while, Ye Ruisheng finally let go of Jin Chu: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"
"About two months." Jin Chu said. The remaining ore would take about four months to consume, and his return trip took half a month. It would take more than ten days to get to the Mining Star, and it would take almost a month to get from the Mining Star to the Little Flower Star. There would also be some delays for loading goods on the Mining Star, so naturally there would only be two months left.
He sighed and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to fly around in space like this forever."
Ye Ruisheng didn't expect that such a shipload of ore would actually be enough to consume for half a year. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll buy you a bigger spaceship."
The kind that can hold enough power for eight or ten years.
"That's not necessary. Over there..." Jin Chu didn't explain the situation with the lava, but simply said, "The situation is quite tense. I'm worried about leaving for too long."
Ye Ruisheng had no choice but to drop the topic regretfully. Jin Chu suddenly thought of something and pulled out a large fish tank from the aircraft, presenting it like a treasure: "Look what I brought back!"
Ye Ruisheng took a look and saw a few blue fish?
"This is delicious. There is one male fish and three female fish. The female fish are carrying babies. Where do you think we can keep them?" Jin Chu could almost see tons of delicious fish in the future.
Ye Ruisheng knew at a glance that he was craving more. "I brought some meat. How about we grill it and eat while we talk? Tell me more about the habits of this fish and where to keep it."
"Yeah! I ate all the barbecue you prepared on the way over here. I haven't eaten for more than two months!" Jin Chu complained pitifully.
Although he knew that he wouldn't starve even if he didn't eat, Ye Ruisheng still felt sorry for him. If he had known earlier, he would have grilled some meat in advance: "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
"I'll help you put on airs." Jin Chu followed him happily.
