From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

If she hadn't taken the time to make a face at Si Ye, Si Ye would have suspected that Hui Feng had been switched.

"Your itineraries are very different, so please be patient while I explain them one by one."

A small red chip floated towards Christen. After she hurriedly caught it, a slight sound came from the chip.

【Authentication completed, biometric verification terminal binding completed】

[Welcome, Level 3 Citizen Authority, Ms. Christen]

"I promised you the authorization key for an advanced frigate that has undergone a military-to-civilian conversion. However, you will need to complete a cycle of ship operation courses before you can obtain permission to travel."

Although the ship's AI driving module is very powerful, Si Ye cannot allow the Rhine Life trio, who know nothing about anything, to drive a 400-meter-long frigate recklessly, so appropriate learning is inevitable.

"With the adventure qualification I've granted you, you can explore the entire empire's space. Of course, you can't enter certain military jurisdictions, high-risk areas, and nature reserves. The battleship's main AI will provide you with a detailed map."

Although she still had to learn, Christen could no longer suppress her joy with the key in her hand. Her golden tail kept swinging, rubbing against the back of her windbreaker.

"This spaceship is docked at the next anchorage. Although you can't fly it yet, Miss Christen, it's still possible to take a look around and familiarize yourself with it. By the way, after its military-to-civilian conversion, the ship hasn't been named yet."

Gray Wind turned around and a clone appeared beside him in an instant, guiding the excited Christen to the next door to see the spaceship.

After struggling for a while, Saria finally caught up with Christen, while Muirseth looked around curiously.

In an environment without Originium, she no longer has to worry about Originium contamination. This place is simply a paradise for her.

"The rest of you, please follow me. Let me and His Majesty Si Ye perform our duties as hosts."

Huifeng seemed to have planned the itinerary and arrangements based on the list and simple information provided by Si Ye before departure, but for some reason, Si Ye always felt that something was wrong.

...

Chapter 216 Gray Wind Asks for Reward

Starting from Kristen's spaceship, Grey Wind seemed to have arranged everything for everyone according to their interests and abilities.

Walking on the viewing trail outside the Emperor's Palace, everyone admired the magnificent view of the universe across the window while listening to Grey Wind explain the various facilities of the Skyfort in the distance and the core of the empire below.

"The green dome structure below is a hydroponic test area. The most advanced agricultural technology will be used in it. This farm structure alone can meet the survival needs of billions of people."

Standing in front of an observation deck, Grey Wind mentioned an auxiliary structure installed under the Skyfort as if on purpose. The turquoise dome structure was extremely conspicuous in the universe.

"that…"

After hearing about the farm structure, Shu, who had been listening to Nian's chattering, suddenly became excited and showed great interest on his face.

"I heard from Miss Secretary that the Empire has a population of nearly 20000 billion. To be able to feed such a terrifying population, the Empire's agricultural technology must be amazing. Can I... can I apply to visit it?"

Because Si Yediao was at the end of the team and was processing documents that required his processing, Shu had no choice but to make a request to Hui Feng.

"Miss Shu, you can just call me Gray Wind. As a friend of Lord Si Ye, there's no need for us to be so distant."

Huifeng gave Shu a kind smile in return, and another body separated from his side.

"Please follow this clone of mine. I'll give you a detailed tour and explain the various experimental areas in the hydroponic chamber."

Just like that, after Kristen and Saria, another member left the team.

"Then Miss Grey Wind, can I go down to the planet below and take a look?"

As a water elf, Muirseth was able to listen to the sounds of nature. After arriving in the environment composed of sourceless stones, she had been somewhat excited, because the perfect Gaia planet, as gorgeous as an emerald below the emperor's palace, had made her impatient.

"Hmm? I thought Miss Muirseth would be more interested in the ecological park within the palace, but if you want to go down and visit the natural environment, you can do so. You can take the space elevator or shuttle."

Another clone appeared, ready to take Muirseth to visit the places that interested her. Trying to do three or even thirty things at once was child's play for Grey Wind.

"Are there any ecological parks? Miu Miu wants to visit them too. Is that possible?"

Realizing that Gray Wind seemed easy to talk to, Muirseth tried to get closer to Gray Wind in a very familiar way.

"Of course. If there's anything you'd like to know more about or visit, feel free to tell me directly."

The clone led the very cute Muirseth away, while Grey Wind looked at the others and asked for their thoughts.

"Well, Sister Shu really just left me behind and ran away."

Nian shrank her neck. Although Huifeng's attitude was very friendly, she always felt a sense of oppression from him, which made her, as a veteran street urchin, feel a little uncomfortable.

Huifeng walked up to Nian and spoke in a friendly tone that made it easy for people to feel good about him.

"Miss Nian, thank you for taking care of His Majesty Si Ye a few days ago. I heard that you like film and television works. The Xinghai Empire also has many similar entertainment cultures. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Looking at Huifeng, who was dignified and elegant, with the air of a queen, Nian understood where the inexplicable feeling of oppression came from.

However, as a giant beast, Nian's ethics and worldview are different from those of humans, so she didn't care too much about this. Seeing Gray Wind's goodwill, she quickly cooperated and said:

"That's great, there's a movie theater."

"There's an entire entertainment complex. If Miss Nian needs it, we can book it out right now..."

"Don't worry, it's fun only when it's lively."

Nian turned his head to look at Si Ye, and saw that the other party was still checking the data panel in his hand. He could only shrug his shoulders and leave with the Gray Wind clone.

The Doctor and Friston were still visually studying the giant structure that was wrapping around the star in the distance. Their discussion was very heated, so Grey Wind did not go up to disturb them. He just asked the autonomous machine to serve them drinks and snacks.

"Huh? What about people?"

When Si Ye finally finished processing the documents involving the intersection of the Human Federation and the Pan-Human Community, he looked up and found that only Huifeng and the former civilization duo were left in the group.

"The guests have gone to visit the facilities of the buildings they are interested in. Do you need me to call them back now?"

Huifeng took the data panel from Si Ye and explained to him where everyone was going.

"...Let them play... I saw that your itinerary memo had an [important] mark at the back, so I probably don't have time to accompany them."

"It's indeed an 'important matter'~"

Huifeng's tone was a little strange, and he emphasized the word "important" very strongly, but Si Ye had already walked towards the former civilization duo who were discussing increasingly heated matters, so he didn't notice this.

"Friston, your thinking is too conservative. If they were simply drawing on stellar energy, the surrounding planets would be dead silent. But the planet beneath us is still vibrant. This could be a method of filtering energy transmission, maintaining the planet's ecological needs while also intercepting the energy we want."

"Hmm... Prophet, you make sense, but this spectral structure, I have a feeling it might involve some technology we haven't understood yet... I'm really excited."

Friston covered his chest, the synthetic heart of his synthetic body was beating violently. The desire for new knowledge is the long-cherished wish of every scientific researcher.

"You two, we can discuss scientific research later. Do you want to go somewhere for a stroll or take a break?"

Si Ye interrupted the discussion between the two former civilization scientists and asked for their thoughts.

“The trip was very relaxing and I didn’t feel tired at all, but after walking around…”

The doctor looked at Friston and thought for a moment.

"Could you please borrow your lab and a certain amount of resources, Si Ye? I'd like to simulate the preparations needed to revive a fellow citizen who has been in extended hibernation. Friston, you've remembered the parameters of the sarcophagus in the stasis chamber, haven't you?"

“…Of course I won’t forget.”

When it came to the Preserver Project, Friston's expression became serious.

"Okay, I'll have a large laboratory prepared at the Science Hub, Xiao Hui."

This was part of the agreement, and Si Ye had no objection. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Hui behind him.

"Yes,"

Grey Wind seemed to do nothing, but a battleship docked near the Skyfort in the distance came out of standby mode, its conventional engine entered afterburner mode, and approached the Independence Starport next to the palace.

"The route to the scientific hub has been prepared, and some scientists involved in hibernation technology have responded to the call."

So the Doctor and Friston followed the Grey Wind clone and left for the Imperial Science Hub.

"...I always feel like something's wrong. Okay, Gray Wind, what's that important thing you marked?"

An inexplicable feeling of unease made Si Ye feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell the source of this unease, so he just ignored it and decided to deal with the "important matter" mentioned by Hui Feng first.

"plz follow me."

Huifeng raised his eyebrows and walked into the palace with Si Ye.

The further he walked, the more Si Ye felt something was wrong.

In the past, there should have been many staff members and synths coming and going in the emperor's palace, but now there is not even a self-driving machine in the core central corridor, only the slight sound of the ventilation equipment.

"Hiss...Gray Wind, is there something wrong? Why is it so quiet?"

Huifeng, who was walking in front, paused, and Si Ye also stopped. He always felt that the touch of the corridor under his feet was a little strange.

"And this road...isn't it the road that leads to my bedroom?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Huifeng suddenly turned his head with a strange smile on his face, and grabbed Si Ye who was trying to turn around and escape.

"You've been playing around in the other world for so long, leaving me alone to work in the empire. It's time to compensate me~"

The nanometal disguised as decorations and floor tiles in the corridor created a surging wave, pushing Si Ye towards the bedroom at the end of the corridor.

"Wait, wait, this is the 'important matter' you're talking about. No, Gray Wind, let's get down to business first..."

This was Huifeng, and Si Ye didn't dare to use his psychic power to resist. He could only watch as the bedroom door got closer and closer to him.

Huifeng pointed at the corner of his mouth, looked at Si Ye with innocent eyes, and replied: "Yes, do the right thing, that's right."

The gate automatically recognized permissions, and after Si Ye was pushed into the bedroom by the metal surge, several passages and corridors began to lock automatically, turning the huge emperor's palace into a secret room that no one could reach.

...

Chapter 217 Cross-World Exploration and Development Plan

When he was on the Terra continent, Si Ye had defeated many things.

He could easily make the jumping Pegasus lose his balance, make the Sarkaz Demon King throw up his hands in defiance, and make the hot dragon flee...

but…

It is too difficult to defeat the Gray Wind, a cluster of nano-metallic particles, with a human body. This behavior even reminds Si Ye of some warriors who dared to challenge electric fans before he traveled through time, and they were even more powerful than him.

So when the emperor's palace moved to the back side with the rotation of the planet, Si Ye lay on the messy bed, feeling a sense of emptiness in his waist.

And the instigator of all this was walking out of the house with satisfaction, holding a steaming hot dinner/breakfast in his hand?
