Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Master Yuan Hao’s Worries

Deep in the valley, near the Black Forest, the Star Port.

With the heavy application of black technology brought by the Special Service Bureau’s engineering team, the construction progress here can be described as incredible. The barren foundation of the Star Port, initially "grown" out of the ground by Yu Sheng, now finally resembles a high-tech spaceship base—

Centered around the "Otherworld Inn", the enormous spaceship docking platform is now surrounded by autonomously operating beacon towers and storage stations. Electricity has already been connected, and the roads from the Star Port to the Black Forest and to the Fairy Tale Town now have streetlights. By nighttime, the platform is brightly lit, with guiding holographic signs circling the Star Port, making it all seem quite impressive.

Of course, considering that the travel agency on this side doesn’t have much manpower and cannot possibly undertake the daily operation and maintenance of a genuine Star Port (even with automated facilities and maintenance-free designs), the future upkeep of these facilities will have to be outsourced to the technical team from the Special Service Bureau.

Now, a group of people from Yu Sheng’s side and a group from Qianfeng Ling Mountain have all arrived at the Star Port platform, looking up at the majestic "Otherworld Inn" before them.

This ship, which has undergone repainting and hull renovation, still primarily features a solemn black color as its main tone. However, the previously ominous and oppressive dark red coating has been replaced with white. Furthermore, large sections of white patterns have been added to the middle armoring of the ship to make it appear at least like something from a legitimate organization. Unfortunately, the dark spikes at the ship’s bow (or the top of the tower) couldn’t be directly removed—primarily because they are filled with antennas and super space generators, critical components. In fact, those spikes are simply part of the antenna array, so Sun and Liu Gong, who were responsible for the ship’s hull renovation, decided not to dismantle them. Instead, they added continuous, rooftop-like structures to these inherently evil-looking spikes, turning them into "miniature towers" between the rooftops.

After this series of modifications, this ship, which already had a bit of a religious ambience within its dark and oppressive motif, completely moved towards a "church" architecture. When grounded, it resembles a church being morphed and stretched into a Giant Tower with strange proportions and combinations, with a chapel-like structure perched at the top...

As for the auxiliary towers originally floating around the main tower using anti-gravity devices (equipped with Shield Generators and super space subsystems), Sun and Liu Gong agreed to change their paint and add shells, turning them into bell towers surrounding the "church ship".

Well, it seems to be quite a coincidence. Yu Sheng looked at this remodeled "Otherworld Inn" and was immediately reminded of the "Guardian Fire Cathedral" that Luna and her Knight Order built in the Protected Wilderness—one could only say that the folks from the Venerate Saints Monastery at least have some skill in architectural aesthetics. The things they remodel based on this foundation show a high degree of consistency in style.

The main feature of this style is that when you look at it, it feels as if an exhilarating BGM might start playing around you at any moment, and then a ridiculously large health bar might suddenly appear above some entity in front of you...

And it was clear that Yu Sheng wasn’t the only one with this feeling.

"I feel like I’ve seen similar things in one of the games I played recently," Erin muttered, sitting on Yu Sheng’s shoulder and craning her neck for quite a while. "That thing has this style right in the opening scene, and I even suspect a giant, impossibly hard-to-defeat creature might come out of this tower at any second, with feet taller than a person, and I’m just rolling around under its feet, using a toothpick to fix its feet, hacking away at it for ages without making the health bar budge..."

The puppet’s muttering was so vivid that it almost exuded a profoundly realistic feeling. Even Yu Sheng couldn’t help but comment, "That sounds like quite the experience."

Luna, standing nearby, quietly raised her eyes and watched for a long time before suddenly letting out a light sigh: "Now, it’s much more pleasing to the eye."

"The star map and navigation parameters of the Feiyu Star Domain have been synchronized to the main system," a technical staff wearing a Special Service Bureau uniform reported to Yu Sheng while holding a transparently-high-tech tablet. "Additionally, since the operation hub has been reset, all subsystems of the ’Otherworld Inn’ are currently offline, including the weapon subsystem. This aspect must be noted—please try to avoid danger."

"Don’t worry, we’re not taking this thing out for battle," Yu Sheng waved his hand. "The primary function of this ship is to take me to unvisited places where I can ’unlock coordinates.’ Once we reach there, we will disembark and act on our own."

The Special Service Bureau personnel holding the tablet opened their mouth, seemingly wanting to remind them about a few technical points—after all, the ship wasn’t anywhere close to being in a state capable of executing deep-space missions. With all subsystems offline and the main system flashing still incomplete, from a professional perspective, this ship is really not much different from a washing machine installed with an engine...

But after hesitating for a moment, he didn’t open his mouth.

Because Director Baili Qing’s reminder still echoed in his ears—"The people of the travel agency are exceptional, each is talented, and every one has their own approach to handling things. In short, don’t inquire too much about their matters..."

While Yu Sheng was communicating with the technical staff from the Special Service Bureau, True Man Yuanling and others who came along for the ’tour’ were amazed by this valley, serving as the travel agency’s base camp.

"I didn’t expect Yu Sheng to have such a ’Cave Mansion’ that forms its own world," the tall, thin True Man Yuanhe stroked a strand of beard, gazing in the direction of the Black Forest, "Although I heard Xuan Che mention it before, I never imagined this ’valley’ to be such a sight. There are faintly more than a dozen different auras circulating in various places at the bottom of the valley, clearly connected yet like ten independent cave heavens... Marvelous! If this place could be rented for breeding spirit beasts, it would be much more convenient for experiments!"

"Stop bringing your group of pests to cause trouble everywhere," True Man Yuanling glanced at his junior brother, "Moreover, this valley used to be an ’Exotic Realm’. It is entirely thanks to Yu Sheng’s skills that it is maintained in its present form. As far as I know, all living creatures that breed and thrive in this valley must undergo Yu Sheng’s ’Blood Curse’ and become part of the ’travel agency’. If you are truly willing to give up the rare exotic beasts you painstakingly cultivated, then you are welcome to bring them here."

True Man Yuanhe paused for a moment upon hearing this, then bowed his head to ponder for a while before whispering, "Second Senior Brother, this doesn’t sound like the work of the right path."

"The people of the Boundary Land don’t care about such things," True Man Yuanling said with a stern face, "Moreover, if I had to say, I think your group of students raising cockroaches and mosquitoes resembles Evil Cultivators more."

Yuan He awkwardly replied, "I’ve already dealt with it, I’ve already dealt with it... Any more cases of using such methods to cheat in the final exams will be uniformly graded as ’D minus’."

Meanwhile, Master Yuan Hao was standing with Xuan Che, whispering to each other while occasionally glancing at the Flying Church standing on the ground. After a while, they walked over, just as Yu Sheng finished handing over with the technical staff. Master Yuan Hao stepped forward and said, "I just discussed with Xuan Che, and for this trip to the border, I still need to go with you all."

As soon as he said this, he saw Yuanling on the side immediately showed a willing expression, so he quickly raised a hand to interrupt and added, "I will definitely not bring Che’er to cause trouble this time, so you can rest assured, Junior Brother."

"It’s not about causing trouble or not," True Man Yuanling quickly retorted, his tone full of distrust, "I’m afraid that when you go to the border, you’ll suddenly get the idea of ’touring the world’ again, and then disappear for several years without a trace!"

Master Yuan Hao looked awkward: "This... Junior Brother, you shouldn’t say that, when did this Senior Brother act so irresponsibly..."

"A hundred and twenty years ago, you went down the mountain to buy two jugs of wine and went missing for seven years!" True Man Yuanling glared, "Later, we got news from the Bamosa people’s Starry Sky Observation Station to bring people to pick you up—you had dug into someone’s ancestral tomb!"

"Ahem, ahem, let’s not talk about past events," Master Yuan Hao quickly coughed twice, the usually dignified True Monarch can’t muster any manner or aura in front of his second junior brother, "I do have considerations for this trip, let me explain—do you still remember what the black-clothed cultivator mentioned? Yun Qingzi is reclusive at the border, but not on the Shuji Star, rather on a similar perennial rainy planet, and I’ve been thinking about this all day, but despite thinking it over and over, there isn’t such a place near Shuji..."

Seeing the serious expression on his Senior Brother’s face, Yuanling finally put away the expression of distrust, and slightly frowned: "What do you mean..."

"The ancient powerful cultivators who survived the time of chronicle rewriting have all sorts of bizarre and mysterious methods. Yun Qingzi disappeared a thousand years ago, and to this day no one knows what he has been doing for the past millennium. And that place Shuji is far from Taixu, news travels there somewhat belated... I’m worried now that after operating there for many years, the Shuji star and its surrounding regions... may no longer be as we are familiar with."

Yuanling did not speak, just nodded slightly, signaling his Senior Brother to continue.

"I have long dealt with various deceitful and exotic realms, and have an understanding of methods of concealment and Secret Realms. I dare not say that I can definitely surpass the ancients’ abilities, but at least if Yun Qingzi really set up an unobservable ’Secret Realm’ as a stronghold near Shuji, I should be able to find it," Master Yuan Hao said seriously, "On the other hand, ancient cultivators are extremely difficult to deal with. Yu Sheng and the others are indeed very capable, but they somewhat lack experience in dealing with top cultivators, especially unfamiliar with many mysterious tactics of such experts. My going with them is at least an added help."

At this, Master Yuan Hao paused, and glanced up at the Otherworld Inn standing on the ship platform, a bit hesitant in expression: "Lastly, there’s another reason."

Upon seeing the old master’s hesitant expression, Yu Sheng couldn’t help but interject: "What reason?"

"...I have relatively rich experience in navigation accidents."

Yu Sheng: "...?"
