Chen Yang didn't hesitate much before placing his hand on the black egg.
This black egg is plain and unadorned. Unlike the treasures in myths and movies, it doesn't radiate luster or possess any unique magic. It's just an ordinary egg.
The moment Chen Yang's hand touched the black egg, his whole body trembled. Then he relaxed and curled up in front of the black egg, as if he were in his mother's womb, with a smile on his lips, and all his previous guard was removed.
Just like returning to the womb and being enveloped by amniotic fluid, an unimaginable, great power enveloped him. This power was so gentle that, even though there were no eyes, Chen Yang felt gently being watched.
He lay in his mother's arms like an infant, completely unguarded, enveloped in warmth and gazed upon with a tenderness that no words or images in the world could express.
This gentle force caressed every inch of his body, like a wild beast licking its cubs, like a bird incubating its eggs, like a mother holding her child—it was a tenderness that poured everything into him.
Chen Yang fell asleep peacefully, enveloped in warmth and tenderness, sleeping in the embrace of this great power.
When he woke up, he still had a smile on his face.
The black egg had disappeared, and in his palm appeared a transparent crystal with indescribable beauty. It radiated a soft glow on its own, without needing any light to enhance it.
At this moment, a voice rang in Chen Yang's mind. The voice was very strange, like some kind of chirping. Although he couldn't understand it, he understood the meaning it conveyed.
"She is a great planet, she is a pitiful planet, please love her well."
The voice seemed to contain some emotion, but before Chen Yang could react, a notification appeared in the micro-world.
"Please have the Realm Lord bury the quest item in the land outside the Realm."
Chen Yang stared blankly at the crystal in his hand.
He was still immersed in the feeling of being enveloped by that great power, a feeling he hadn't experienced since puberty.
"She is a great planet, she is a pitiful planet."
Chen Yang muttered to himself. The sentence came out of nowhere. Although he couldn't understand the language, he understood the meaning.
"So, the Micro-World really is an extraterrestrial creation?" Chen Yang wondered.
Chen Yang didn't know how long he had slept. He quickly took out his phone and saw that only a dozen hours had passed, and it was just dawn.
However, his phone exploded with 99+ missed calls and 99+ unread messages.
He didn't log into Weijie last night, and everyone thought something had happened to him. They were extremely worried and tried desperately to contact him.
Chen Yang sent a message in the group to let everyone know he was safe, and then made separate phone calls to Li Su'er and her family.
Fortunately, I brought a satellite phone this time; otherwise, I would have had to wait until we reached a signal coverage area to contact everyone.
Chen Yang saw a black dot approaching in the distance; it was Wulili coming to pick him up.
Chen Yang quickly reached the shore, then released the automatically inflating lifeboat and paddled it quickly to the edge of the island.
Ulili spotted Chen Yang and approached him in his speedboat.
“Mr. Chen Yang, I received a call in the middle of the night saying that you might have had an accident. I rushed over before dawn. Thank God you are alright.”
"Thank you for your trouble," Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Of course, since I accepted so much money. By the way, Mr. Chen Yang, did you just drift around here all night?"
Chen Yang nodded without saying anything, and Wu Lili also wisely refrained from asking further questions. Rich people can do whatever they want; as long as he gets paid, that's all that matters.
As the cocoon-shaped island gradually disappeared from view, Chen Yang kept thinking about what that sentence really meant.
He could vaguely sense a trace of emotion in the voice, an emotion that was very complex.
It felt like helplessness, pity, and a hint of longing.
This experience has once again left Chen Yang wondering: What exactly is the Micro-World? Why does it exist?
He remained silent the whole way until Ulili reminded him that they had arrived at their destination, at which point Chen Yang came to his senses.
After resting briefly on the island, he immediately transferred to a plane and flew to Hangzhou's airport.
It was still afternoon when the plane landed. After a long journey, Chen Yang drove to the inn but did not rush to take the mission items to the outer realm.
He placed the transparent crystal at the inn and studied it with everyone.
The hardness of this crystal is simply unimaginable. We tried every method we could think of, but we couldn't leave even the slightest scratch on it.
However, since these are items used for tasks in the micro-world, it's understandable.
Then, they used infrared and thermal scanning, but they couldn't find the crystal, as if it didn't exist.
Not only that, even cameras couldn't capture a picture of him.
Chen Yang thought for a moment, then took the crystal and walked outside the inn. He saw a sanitation worker and approached him with the crystal.
"Uncle, this looks pretty good, doesn't it?"
The sanitation worker looked at Chen Yang's hand and gave him a strange look.
"Young man, are you sick or are you kidding me? There's nothing here."
Chen Yang understood; indeed, only the people of the realm could see the crystals.
"Young man, my wife has a bit of Alzheimer's disease. I know a few good doctors. Would you like me to introduce you to them?"
"Uh, no need, sir, you're busy, I'll be going now." Chen Yang quickly left, taking the crystal back to the inn.
Since others couldn't see it, Chen Yang gave up the idea of getting some professional instruments to test it. Modern technology probably couldn't detect things in the microscopic world.
Chen Yang returned to the area, took a good shower, and after a blissful, slightly embarrassing time with Li Su'er, entered the micro-realm. He planned to bring the crystal over tomorrow.
The most important task in the micro-world today is dealing with the grapes.
Residents who had time came over to help process the grapes.
This year's grapes are growing much better than last year's, and we didn't encounter the heavy rains of last year; each grape is very plump.
After the spiritual energy in the micro-realm was upgraded, these plants seemed to have changed as well, each one growing better than the last.
Yun Hu was very happy preparing to make wine; he had been waiting for this day for a year.
Time always seems to fly by in the microcosm, yet sometimes it feels like it drags on. Yunhu's winemaking skills have improved significantly this year, and the grapes are better than last year, so he is full of confidence.
Jiang Bo and Ye Wen, who had just returned from their honeymoon in the micro-world, also came to help with pressing oil.
Grape seed oil is a very popular oil among people around the world, and it is essential to extract it, which is also a way to make full use of resources.
Drying raisins was the easiest task, and it was entrusted to a few meticulous girls.
Rael went to the desert again to study glass, hoping to make a batch of satisfactory wine glasses before the wine was finished.
Although he is a master of glassmaking, modern glassmaking has many convenient tools, and materials can be bought directly, which is quite different from the micro-world.
He consulted several veteran glassmakers and is currently working on modifying the smelting ratio.
The micro-world remains a bustling scene.
This is foreshadowing... And please vote for this book! I, a great scholar, write with nothing but a breath of immortality.
