Chapter 531 - 259: Birthday of Discovery
Ever since meeting this woman Su Jiameng, Qian Chen felt like his worldview and values were constantly being refreshed, updated too swiftly, and each time lower than the last! It was one thing that she managed to cure his stubborn illness, but now she’s come up with a fantastically magical team formation mode and a Teleportation Array... all he wanted to say was...
Miss, are you sure you’re living a life and not just playing a game? In just one or two short hours, they traveled from the Xilena Star System to the Galaxy that was countless light-years away, without using any black holes or space crevices, and he was truly left speechless.
"Is this the Galaxy?" Su Jiameng had seen on the internet that, viewed from the vast starry sky, the Galaxy was beautiful like a dream, and it was one of the more peaceful and prosperous among the Human Alliance’s Top Ten Star Systems, with enviably rich resources and geographical advantages.
These past years, Su Jiameng had traveled around a lot and came to the Galaxy a few times, but she had only been to desolated, uninhabited planets. Where had she ever seen such a direct splendor? Today seemed to be some kind of festival celebration, and the entire planet was immersed in joy.
Though this planet named Blue Spirit was very suitable for human habitation, its gravity was quite different from the Qiming Star that Su Jiameng was used to, and it took her some time to adjust. But Qian Chen seemed to have adapted from the start.
Even though Qian Chen was quite curious about Su Jiameng’s origins and how that seemingly god-defying Teleportation Array worked, he knew that even if he were to ask, he wouldn’t get any clear answers. Instead, it might easily provoke annoyance, so he simply buried this doubt in his heart.
Glancing around, he deciphered and said, "Today... is probably the birth anniversary of Blue Spirit Star. Every time it comes, there is a special celebration ceremony. We happen to have arrived just in time.... This is a very fine and bustling day."
The birth anniversary of Blue Spirit Star naturally wasn’t the time when the planet formed, but the day when it was discovered that this planet could support human life! And this time wasn’t aligned with the planet’s own timeline, but followed the Cosmic Time that everyone shared.
Because the planet’s own timeline doesn’t match the Cosmic Time, the birth anniversary isn’t fixed on any particular day. To catch this celebration is rather lucky, even for Qian Chen, who has only witnessed the birth anniversary several dozen times from childhood till now.
"Just in time, too, to relax a bit before the mission starts. Honestly, although I’ve been to so many planets, I’ve never once coincidentally met with a birth anniversary," Su Jiameng said with a bit of regret. Every human-inhabited planet has a birth anniversary, and so does the Qiming Star, but she always misses them. She hasn’t had the chance to see such festive joy, but if there’s a chance in the future, she definitely plans to witness it.
Thinking that this place is Qian Chen’s birthplace, which counts as his mother planet, she smiled and said, "Though you left here years ago, you are still a guest. It’s my first time here, would you be willing to show me around this celebration?"
Qian Chen pressed his lips tightly, seeing the natural smile on her face, unembarrassed by teasing or trickery, which made him feel somewhat unnatural. He just said ambiguously, "Of course, I’d be happy to serve... it’s just that we’re now illegally entering. If we get caught by Blue Spirit Star’s inspection system, it would be a big trouble. I’m afraid we wouldn’t enjoy the celebration..."
Su Jiameng naturally thought of this issue, in fact, over the years, she had "illegally entered" countless planets, and her methods had become sophisticated, clean, neat, and perfect, ensuring there’s not a trace of flaw or trouble left behind.
With her extraordinary skills, she stealthily infiltrated the planetary management system, and after creating fake identities for both of them, she drafted a simple legal entry and exit certificate. In just three to five minutes, everything was done.
Looking at the results handed over by Su Jiameng, Qian Chen took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down. As a former Alliance Warrior, integrity, rigor, and loyalty were ingrained in his very bones, but Su Jiameng’s current antics left him quite conflicted. Seeing her breaking the law was one thing, but unexpectedly, he’s now an accomplice. Pretending not to see is indeed a difficult matter for him.
Given Qian Chen’s face, Su Jiameng already had a plan. She bought a can of cream for him to apply, which quickly made a dense beard grow on his face. Besides his eyes and forehead, other parts were hard to see. With a hat on, even he himself would be shocked; this scruffy man could hardly be recognized as him.
