Learn one small skill every day

During these days, Kaguya has stayed by his side constantly; wherever Bai Miao is, she is there too.

He didn't say anything, just quietly looked at Bai Miao.

"It's almost time to disembark."

Knowing Kaguya's future, Bai Miao didn't say much, only reminding her not to get too involved with too much faith.

"Don't be bound by faith... I'll remember that."

This time, after disembarking, it's uncertain how long it will be before they reunite.

"I'll be leaving when we encounter the next civilization, Captain. Please take good care of yourself while I'm gone."

Kaguya looked at the majestic mountain that appeared on the horizon in the distance and knew that the moment of parting was approaching.

She held Bai Miao's hand tightly: "Captain, I really can't bear to leave you all... If I help this civilization develop, can you bring me back ahead of time?"

"I'll be there then. Can you walk faster than me?"

"Of course, I won't let you down!"

Kaguya wiped her nose with the back of her hand: "I can leave on my own when the time comes... no, there's no need for anyone else to see me off."

"Captain, please remember to keep an eye on things on board after I'm gone, even though you've already planned to build Emma to help you with these things..."

Kaguya rambled on and on, gazing at the increasingly clear coastline and the scattered firelight in the woods, before finally throwing herself into Bai Miao's arms.

"Captain, I really... I really don't want to get off the ship!"

At this moment, Bai Miao seemed to understand Irina's feelings.

Parting ways with familiar people, parting ways with people you spend every day with.

The weight of parting is something not everyone can bear.

Bai Miao possesses both the leeway and the helplessness of an outsider.

He had no say in Kaguya's fate.

Fifteen days later, Noah will return.

But now even Bai Miao can't be sure what this Noah really is.

Did Noah also have precognitive dreams in the past?

Could it be that different versions of myself from different timelines used the tickets and returned to Noah's Ark in different periods of time?

If there are enough timelines, then, rounding up, the entire timeline of Noah's Ark would be constructed by himself over thirty days.

This conjecture both excited and terrified Bai Miao.

With so many selves, can you guarantee that none of them will have a relapse?

Kaguya sobbed softly against his chest, which inspired Bai Miao to be the best version of himself in the present moment.

Bai Miao raised his hand and gently placed it on Kaguya's head: "No need to rush, you can hold me like this until the moment you decide to leave."

"Captain... do you believe I'll cling to you like this for the rest of my life?"

"Do you know why we chose you, Holker, and Shiyan to disembark, and not the others?"

Kaguya remained silent; she already knew the answer in her heart.

Irina would rather die than go down there.

Others are either not yet perfect enough, or they lack the conditions to disembark and lead other civilizations.

Only myself, whether in terms of personality or function, is impeccable.

For the first time, Kaguya didn't want to be made so perfect.

"But Captain... having the three of us disembark would be really disadvantageous for the ark..."

"The Ark also needs to be tempered. I hope that when we meet again, we will all have become better versions of ourselves."

"Um……"

Kaguya still held tightly to Bai Miao's waist.

Bai Miao hadn't expected that Kaguya would be able to hold him for two whole days.

Two days later, as the sun shone brightly, Kaguya left Noah's Ark.

"Captain, if you can't catch up with me, I'll leave you a way to find me."

"Well, I'll wait."

A small boat slowly sailed towards the mainland, and from this moment, Kaguya's story truly began.

Bai Miao sighed with some emotion, then suddenly realized that Nebeibivo had appeared beside him at some point.

"Hey... Captain... glug glug..."

He grabbed a large bottle of strong liquor and took a big gulp: "Captain, sometimes I'm really grateful that you designed the same taste sensor for us, so I can also simulate being drunk... otherwise I really wouldn't be having a good day... hiccup!"

The food consumed by each minister is completely broken down in the internal reactor, transformed into water, oxygen, and other substances that are naturally discharged without leaving any waste. It is a highly efficient conversion method.

"do you hate me?"

Bai Miao asked.

"No, how could that be... Letting Kaguya disembark was also part of your plan, wasn't it... I, I can't compare to your wisdom."

“I’m just thinking that if one day you’re not as wise and capable as you are now, I might not take care of you anymore.”

You really do hold grudges.

Bai Miao patted Nebe Ibivo on the shoulder: "You should drink less, otherwise it will be hard to explain when you see Kaguya later."

Chapter 148 Pass on a Message for Me

Back in the captain's cabin, Bai Miao felt inexplicably anxious.

If everything I did changed the course of the future, then did I have any involvement in my past in the Lost Tomb instance not long ago?

Is it because I've done so much here that I encountered those things in the Lost Abyss?

This appears to be a closed loop.

In other words, no matter what you do, your past is the future of this line and will not change.

The situation is completely different from that of the Zero Hour Lock.

I can now be certain that I have successfully changed the future with the help of the Zero Hour Lock.

Bai Miao tapped the rim of his coffee cup lightly, repeatedly pondering the information transmitted back from the Zero Hour Lock.

Even after Kaguya left, he didn't feel that it would change anything for the future.

This made Bai Miao wonder if there was a problem with the method.

The Zero Time Lock emphasizes that the act of transmitting information to the past will not affect the development of the present.

In other words, one cannot change what happened in the Deep Sea Relics, which is one's past, even if it is in the future at this point in time.

However, it is possible to change the future development of flying towards the sun.

The person transmitting the information can be understood as someone from another timeline who chose to inform their past self out of goodwill.

Bai Miao made himself a cup of coffee, looked at the image of the unshaven man in the cup, and sighed.

"It means that even when the future actually arrives, I can't be sure if I've really changed it."

No... If I don't receive any information about the future after this return, that should be enough to show that my actions have improved the future.

If everything goes smoothly in the future and there are no major problems, then this point in time is not a time anchor that can have an impact.

Future information will not be transmitted.

It was precisely because he did not use the Noah's Ark ticket to return to the past after completing the Lost Abyss that he was identified as a major influence anchor point when he flew towards the sun.

"That's not right either. In his first sentence, he said that he felt the anchor point was inside the Deep Sea Legacy instance, because in the future, he was flying towards the sun to send the message inside this instance."

He knew that the changes in the future city and Emma were due to his own past actions.

"But the Lock of Zero Time cannot be transferred within the instance's time; it can only find its anchor point through real-world time... That's why I only received this information shortly after returning."

Bai Miao felt he had found a clue.

The reason for Emma's drastic change in personality was a choice she made.

Is this choice about having a heart-to-heart talk with Emma to outline the city's blueprint?

The metropolitan area was proposed... but it never actually came to fruition.

Does this message mean that things didn't develop as I described?

Bai Miao had a flash of inspiration and began searching through research records on the emotion module.

Emma's emotional module is completely missing; instead, it is replaced by a learning and imitation module.

"Irina, come here for a second."

Bai Miao immediately called Irina over.

Less than a minute later, Irina ran in with her hair still wet and wrapped in a thin black bath towel.

"Captain, what can I do for you? I was just taking a shower."

"Let me see the emotion module."

"That's...ok."

Irina carefully closed the door to the captain's cabin, then pulled the towel around her neck down a little.

On Irina's chest, golden lines were emerging, which soon transformed into a pale white crystalline cube that protruded out.

The patterns engraved on top represent its internal circuit logic.

Irina's emotional modules were defined from the beginning, with a clear focus.

However, there is also a small possibility of learning.

This means that Irina's personality, like any other person's, will change as she gains life experience.

Just like a child who is very naughty when he is young, but becomes more mature when he grows up.
