Chapter 640 Welcome to my world
How big is this world?
From the moment he became conscious, Kuai Tiao couldn't help but think about this issue.

In response, Big Mouth, a close friend, said, "It must be huge, otherwise it wouldn't be able to hold so many bony fish."

Although it was as if it said nothing at all.

But that's just how big-mouthed people are; their mouths are faster than their brains. They speak first and think later, right?

Big Mouth's ultimate goal is to swallow a gray whale whole and send it to various places.

"So I have to grow to the size of a gray whale. I need to eat more, otherwise my body won't be big enough, and my mouth will only be able to bite half of my head, which will make it very difficult to carry me."

Its size is also increasing day by day, constantly expanding its body with its bones.

Nowadays, everyone is no longer the clueless children of the past; they all have their own ideas and hobbies.

As the company's first generation of rocket bonefish, 004 Quickfoot and 003 Big Mouth are the closest, while 001 Champion gets along better with 002 Strongman.

As for the reason, I think it's a matter of personal preference.

They like to collect things that look decent but are ultimately useless. For example, intact wine bottles of various shapes, ice skates, inflatable dolls, dentures, and all sorts of humanoid or monster figurines…

They all felt the same way.

This thing is so weird. Let me take another look... I'll save it and take it home to look at it later.

The other two focus only on what is useful.

The athlete collects various devices, such as robotic arms, prosthetics, artificial bodies, and artificial eyes. It tries to find the right one to fit itself and further enhance its physical abilities.

The Hercules, on the other hand, loves shiny things, from small glass beads to large celestial gems. It attaches these luminous beads to its sleek, muscular body, making it sparkle as it swims, almost as if it has built-in light emitters. This makes the Hercules feel very cool and inspires even greater admiration from other bony fish.

Perhaps this is what maturity is all about.

Therefore, when they were launched into space, the four of them were divided into two groups and located at two different orbital altitudes.

As one of the company's first bonefish to fly, Quickfoot felt very proud.

In many people's eyes, bone fish can only crawl in the dark at the bottom of the Dead Sea and are lowly creatures that are not worthy of being discussed.

But the chairman proved them wrong.

Bonefish can also fly into satellite orbit, doing something that other light-emitting nanofish have never done.

The Rocket Bonefish itself is not a high-level fish, only a D-level fish.

But not only can they float in orbit and survive for a long time, these robots also do a unique job, acting as part-time satellite repairmen, delivering repair robots to satellites that need them.

The chairman once said that being a weak group in the past does not mean that it will not be strong in the future.

So Fastfoot also felt that the collection he and Strongman had gathered might one day come in handy.

There are also many locally unique collectibles in the satellite orbit, mainly a lot of debris.

During their nearly one-year work, Quickfoot and Bigmouth collected two satellites together, Iridium 33 and NOAA-3.

of course.

Both of these are defunct satellites and have long been inoperable.

According to Star Hub, Iridium was severely damaged and became space debris early on due to a collision with other satellites in the early days of humankind.

NOAA-3 is a super old satellite launched by the United States in 1978. It has long ceased operation and did not generate any consciousness during the cyclone eruption, thus it is also considered a defunct item.

Quickfoot, however, really liked these two satellites.

A large chunk of Iridium was broken off and deeply dented, and the solar panels changed from a T-shape to a Y-shape, becoming a tail. It looked like a metallic skeleton fish, and it was beautiful in the sunlight.

Noah-3 is more classic, completely wrapped in aluminum foil, with several sets of blinds on its surface, square and upright, giving it an old-fashioned industrial style.

Kuaijiao felt that perhaps these two could still be saved.

Actually, it has quite a few obsolete satellites it likes. However, the bone fish has limited internal capacity and needs to move equipment, so it can only swallow one at a time and can't fit the others in its stomach.

Quickfoot and Bigmouth discussed and decided that Quickfoot would keep Iridium, while Bigmouth would keep Noah. They would then spit them out of their bodies during their holidays so everyone could admire them together.

But lately, Big Mouth has been busy with something and has been nowhere to be seen.

Quickfoot floats in weightless space, letting his body drift freely.

It asked its partner, the electric cat [Shining369], "69, did Big Mouth receive some kind of mission from the company?"

369 said, "I don't know, I've never heard of this."

"Could Big Mouth be in some kind of danger?"

"No, I can still hear the electrical signals from Shining 566. It's partnered with Big Mouth. If it's okay, then Big Mouth is okay. I'll go ask it."

"it is good."

After a few seconds.

Electric Cat said, "I asked. Big Mouth is fine, he's just obsessed with that Noah satellite. He used a repair robot to try and fix it. But recently he gave up on repairing it and just stares at the satellite blankly every day after work. 566 doesn't know what he's thinking either, and he won't tell us when we ask."

Quickfoot breathed a sigh of relief: "Can we find their location? Let's go take a look."

"Let me use the location from the Nexus... huh."

369 said, “No need to go. They’re coming this way.”

About an hour later.

Quickfoot spotted the giant mouth flying closer from afar.

"What are you doing?" Quickfoot asked.

"Repairing satellites, but if you can't fix them properly, it's really annoying."

Big Mouth said, "I'll show you something; I'll connect your bones to me."

Then the two bony fish shared information through their bones.

Kuaijiao shuddered.

It gleaned something amazing from the bones of the large mouth.

...Big Mouth heard someone talking inside Noah's satellite. Thinking it had fixed the satellite itself, it excitedly continued its repairs.

But the voice sounded very strange.

The satellite said, "You don't have four-dimensional organs, nor can you use string light, so why are you here?"

Big Mouth was completely baffled.

"who are you?"

"answer me."

"You speak first."

"answer me!"

"I won't tell you if you don't want to."

"..."

The other party finally got annoyed: "Don't reveal our conversation to anyone else, and you can't reveal it either. It's a voice only the Bone Fish can hear. Answer me when you've thought it through."

It's been arguing with that voice lately.

Big Mouth also mentioned that he was a company employee.

However, the other party refused to reveal their identity, which is very unfair.

However, only Big Mouth could hear it; 566 didn't hear it at all.

This information is transmitted via bone conduction, which the electric modem cannot obtain at all.

It simply used satellites as a means of communication.

Big Mouth wanted to tell his partner, Electric Cat 566, but found it was impossible. Just as the satellite said, things about it could not be communicated to the outside world in any other way; only communicating through bones was permitted.

The other party possesses a very peculiar and powerful force. It's more like communicating with it via satellite.

The unknown being said, "You are very fortunate to have such an opportunity."

“If you want to live stronger and freer, come to me and I will tell you everything you want to know.”

……

Big Mouth asked through the bone, "Do you want to come along? I'm thinking of giving it a try. I've been working overtime for a month straight, and I can rest for 8 days! That should be enough for the round trip."

Quickfoot tried to tell 369 about this, but found that he was completely unable to send any information, as if he had been silenced by some strange force.

It thought to itself that as long as the company was there, even if it and Big Mouth encountered any trouble, they could ask the company for help, and the chairman would definitely be able to solve it.

This satellite bone conduction device doesn't sound like an enemy. Otherwise, given its ability to block information, it could easily bypass the hub and attack and kill itself and Big Mouth.

Go and see what kind of person they are.

Kuaijiao asked 369: "I want to take 8 days off in lieu of leave. Can I take my annual leave first this year?"

“Of course, I’ll just send it back to the company,” 369 readily agreed.

I have completed my leave application for the day.

Quickfoot and Bigmouth arrived next to Noah's satellite.

A burst of purple light appeared.

Kuaijiao felt dizzy, as if his skeleton was about to break apart, and the treasures inside his body were constantly churning and colliding.

When consciousness returns to normal.

It found itself on a pale yellow ice field, with a huge star occupying a quarter of the sky above.

The star had colorful ribbon-like swirling patterns, looking both dangerous and magnificent.

Is that... Jupiter?

Kuaijiao had heard 369 say that Jupiter has a unique, huge swirling pattern.

So close to Jupiter...

Have we arrived at Io or Europa?
Quickfoot noticed that his friend Bigmouth was still lying on the ice field. Instead of looking at the sky, it was observing what lay beneath the ice.

"What are you looking at?"

"..."

Big Mouth simply pointed at the ice surface with its bony fin.

Quickfoot also looked down.

Beneath the thick, pale yellow ice lies a landmass with many jagged rocks and rolling hills.

However, there are four huge, fiery red caves on the land surface, directly facing the two rocket bone fish.

The imposing aura emanating from him made Quickfoot's bones stiffen.

What is this?
at the same time.

Low-frequency vibrations were felt on the ice surface.

A voice rang in the minds of both Quickfoot and BigMouth at the same time.

"Welcome to my world."

"Two children."

“I am the master of this world, but I am also a bone fish from beneath the earth. I am a deep diver from the earth and a hunter of the celestials. You can call me the ‘Earth Demon’.”

Quickfoot was greatly alarmed.

Celestial Hunter... Subterranean Bone Fish... It's that legendary giant bone fish!
