Chapter 327: Chapter 325: The Eight Planets of the Solar System_1 Chapter 327: Chapter 325: The Eight Planets of the Solar System_1 “No, it shouldn’t have been that we were discovered, but rather that something was sensed, but what was the situation in the end, and who was it that rolled the dice? Old Master Wu? And what about the fire, it seemed to have the scent of a ‘Firebearer,’ but it was even more violent, more savage…”

His brain swirling in a brainstorm, Colin picked up his phone, planning to send a message to Old Master Wu to see if he knew anything about this.

Soon, he had composed the related content and sent it off…

Just as he was waiting for a reply, a red exclamation mark appeared next to his message.

“‘Message sending failed’?”

Colin frowned, checked his signal, and sent the message again, only to get the same result—he could no longer send messages…

After several failed attempts.

He was about to try using another device, but then had an inkling and re-edited the content to ‘Are you there?’ and sent it.

This time, it was sent successfully…

And even, Old Master Wu almost instantly replied, “What’s up?”

“Nothing much.”

Thinking it over, Colin didn’t continue to attempt that topic. He had a premonition that it would surely fail.

Countless accidents would lead such a communication to failure.

Although still very curious, as an employee with quite some experience, he knew that satisfying his curiosity by forcefully pursuing it would ultimately lead to his own hurt…

“However, it’s pretty certain that the dice in the dream surely wasn’t rolled by Old Wu. Recently, I haven’t even used the ‘Book of Fate’ directly, so it shouldn’t be ‘The Dice of Probability’ either. But then, who could it be? Eighth Level wouldn’t be capable of this, and there’s only one Ninth Level Fate Propeller…”

His mind whirled with thoughts, but ultimately, Colin had to suppress his unease and sigh, “I’ll wait until I don’t know when to chat with ‘Lady Bunny’ again and see if I can get some information from her.

“For the rest, maybe I can start by getting in touch with some astronomers.”

Afterward, gathering his thoughts, Colin rose from the bed, barefooted, and took a few steps into the bathroom for a hot shower. He changed his clothes and then stood in front of the mirror in his room, taking a glance at himself before lowering his head.

“Almost 130 pounds now, my weight is gradually recovering.”

Colin’s gaze moved away from the scale.

Since the onset of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, combined with his generally low food intake, his weight had plummeted. It was only recently that he was adjusting and starting to gain back some weight.

Nevertheless, weight has an impact on his combat capabilities, but not a significant one, the more significant effect is that it might not make his physique look very appealing.

“Upcoming important matters include the extraordinary item trade on the 15th, the ‘Descent Project’ on Monday the 17th, and ‘The Disordered Ghost Train’ on the 20th.”

Having somewhat organized what he needed to do, Colin sent a message to Qin Chuan.

Of course, it wasn’t about going to work, but rather to have him help get in touch with some scholars knowledgeable in astronomy…

“There are some things I can’t convey outwardly, or that I’m not supposed to know. It seems that no matter what, I won’t possibly know, at least not within the next 24 hours, but what I can figure out, I can try to understand a bit more about…”

Colin remembered the feeling as if he was in the universe.

He intended to contact the relevant scholars to see if he could obtain some information.

And quickly, in less than an hour, as if always attentive to Colin, Qin Chuan and the others rushed into a university at his request, randomly grabbing a lucky astronomer to bring over.

“Knock knock…”

Opening the door, Colin saw Qin Chuan, Xia Liufang, Hu Zheng, and the bewildered astronomer Sun Liancheng by their side.

After inviting them in, Colin asked his question, describing what he had seen.

Although the scholar felt that being summoned for an inquiry due to a dream seemed neurotic, considering that he was reminded by the VIP upstairs, a heavyweight, he didn’t dare to take it lightly.

“…Uh, assuming the small bright dot you saw in your dream was Earth, then, according to my speculation, it might be a view observed from one of Jupiter’s moons…”

The astronomer pondered and said, “Did you see a much larger Jupiter? Or maybe…”

He added some knowledge.

“No.”

Colin shook his head, indicating the other’s description didn’t quite match what he had seen: “I can be sure that there shouldn’t be any other celestial bodies around; um, can you tell me more about our planetary situation? I want to see if there’s any other possibility…”

“Oh, okay…”

The middle-aged scholar pulled out a crumpled map: “This is our ‘Solar System’, with a total of eight major planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto…”

“Eh…” Qin Chuan pointed at Venus: “Isn’t this one closer?”

“I was just about to say… according to Mr. Colin’s description, it should not be Venus, because due to the high temperature, there is a thick layer of fog, and Earth cannot be seen.”

“All right.” Qin Chuan waved his hand.

“Could it be some kind of meteorite?”

“It’s possible, but not very likely, because…”

“…”

While they were discussing, Colin stared at the map for a while and eventually just shook his head, ending the related discussion, and sent away the bewildered scholar who had come with a puzzled face.

However, although the matter had not been resolved, he had a premonition that this was not the end of it.

‘I guess when I get enough merit to become a Level 6 Personnel, maybe I’ll be able to get further answers, but, ‘Book of Fate’, the oppressing feeling it gives is also not to be underestimated…’

Colin inwardly sighed, feeling that Lady Bunny’s investigative task was a huge pitfall.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he was about to head home and lie down, maybe launch a couple of video games, but before he could turn around, he saw Qin Chuan and the others looking at him, with an indefinable expectation in their eyes.

“Okay, I’ll work for one day today.”

Colin reluctantly agreed to their request, heading to his workplace while casually inquiring about the content of the work for the day.

“There are a few events nearby that need resolving, and also, all the talents sent by Old Master Wu have arrived…”

Listening to him, Colin gradually understood the current situation, which was nothing serious, but when he saw the dozen or so people in his spacious office ten minutes later, his expression changed:

“Talent? You call these talents?”

There, in the office, were a multitude of Level 1 or 2 “Fate Propeller” members, men and women both, mostly around the age of 20, totaling nineteen.

This scene reminded Colin of a game called Pokémon, which has a learning device. This situation seemed quite similar.

Except that it’s usually just one-on-one at most, and here it almost amounted to one-on-nineteen.

“Do you guys really trust me that much?”

Colin was now beginning to doubt whether the reason for his nightmare the previous night could possibly have been the passive ability of “Deadly Insight”, giving him a premonition about this bunch of extras?

And hearing Colin’s somewhat sarcastic lament, Hu Zheng gave a wry smile: “This, well, I…”

He was a bit at a loss for words, even he felt there were a bit too many slackers.
