In the small square where the fountain never stops, a cool, silver-haired girl sits gracefully on a bench, while a sweet, pink-haired girl observes the fountain with her hands behind her back.
Cheng Fei felt like he was dreaming, otherwise why would he keep seeing the same scene?
"Greetings, Consul!" A familiar voice rang out.
The boy looked down and discovered that there were other characters in his dream this time.
Holding a straight umbrella, a white-haired girl in a white sailor uniform stood beside him, standing on tiptoe and observing his eyes with a cute and curious look, just as she had observed Shen Xi back then.
"Hello, Xiao Yi, are you a human or a ghost?"
“She is a projection that is only visible to the three of us.” Shen Xi stood up with a cold face.
"Alright, I won't ask why the black umbrella has a physical form while she only has a projection." Cheng Fei noticed that Isena's body did indeed appear somewhat illusory.
"The identity of Black Umbrella is still uncertain, so of course I can't answer that question," Shen Xi said irritably.
"So, Professor Shen, what's the important discovery? It should be something worth sacrificing my sleep for." Cheng Fei said seriously.
“Isena can send us to dungeons that ordinary players can’t access.” Shen Xi raised her chin.
"That's it?" Cheng Fei hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.
"The location of the instance is not part of the corridor. It is actually teleported by dimensional leap through the maze lock. Avalanche has retained this function. I don't know if it was reserved or if they didn't have time to pay attention to it." Shen Xi stared at him.
"Seriously? Where are we going?" Cheng Fei raised an eyebrow.
"Governor, we will be jumping to the ecological observation post that the Queen has named the Fallen Lands, which is also the Queen's large research station. The Corridor was docked at the Fallen Lands for a long time before jumping to Earth," Isena replied.
"Teacher Shen, I told you you're a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Just listen to the name you chose, 'The Land of Fallen Flowers,' tsk tsk." Cheng Fei shook his head and sighed.
Shen Xi kicked him expressionlessly, and a message popped up in front of them saying that PVP was prohibited in the Peace Zone. "Enough nonsense, make the necessary preparations, we're leaving."
“Okay, just the four of us? What do we need to prepare?” Cheng Fei looked at Isena and Nagasaki Asuna.
"Prepare for the smuggling now, and your task remains the same as before: ensure my safety."
"Another illegal border crossing? Turns out it's all just playing games?"
"Do you have a problem?" Shen Xi's eyes narrowed.
"No, I will protect you, Your Highness." Cheng Fei lowered his head honestly and took out recovery potions and other items from the warehouse, distributing them to her and Nagasaki Asuna.
"Let's begin," Shen Xi ordered Isena.
"It's the Empress, calibrating sex-directed conversion parameters... releasing dimensional probes... clearing the jump path... please accept the game teleportation request, dimensional jump is expected to start in 180 seconds."
"Um, I still want to ask, what exactly is dimensional leap? Does the multiverse really exist?" Nagasaki Asuna, who had been observing from the sidelines, poked her head out.
"Teacher Shen, actually I've always had a question too." Cheng Fei looked at Shen Xi.
"What?" The silver-haired girl turned her head.
"According to the Protoss theory, countless dimensions overlapping in the same spacetime are separated by directionality, so changing the directionality means that the observed world changes without moving the object, right?"
"You still have some memory this time, so?"
Cheng Fei shrugged. "What if we were in another dimension, deep inside the Earth? Wouldn't we end up inside a rock, or be tens of thousands of light-years away from our target, never to reach it?"
"I never expected that your brain, Cheng Feiyu, could think like this." Shen Xi sneered. "What you said is all correct, so dimensional leap is not as simple as you think."
304. The journey was a little bumpy.
"Teacher Shen, how much have you been secretly researching behind my back?" Cheng Fei questioned.
"Shut up and listen to me. I only told you because you thought it was boring and useless, and now you're turning the tables on me." Shen Xi glared at him fiercely. "Listen carefully, I'm going to tell you an important concept: the speed of light varies with dimension. Simply put, the closer the tropism value is to zero, the closer the speed of light is to infinity."
"What happens if the tropism value is zero?" Cheng Fei asked in surprise.
"Particles with lower tropism values have shorter lifespans, and those with a tropism value of zero will immediately return to the vacuum. Do you understand?"
"I see. But Professor Shen, you still haven't answered my earlier question, have you? What if the position is wrong after the sex-directed conversion?"
"Still don't understand? As expected, Cheng Feiyu's thinking ability is limited to this." Shen Xi said with disgust. "To put it more bluntly, dimensional leaps are divided into at least three steps."
"The first step is to open the refrigerator?" Cheng Fei asked.
"Shut up. First, convert the tropism value to below one and dive into a deep dimension where the speed of light is extremely high. Second, use the looser physical laws of the deep dimension to move quickly. Third, surface at a suitable location and reach the true target dimension."
"I see, the Protoss technology is truly amazing." Cheng Fei clapped his hands.
"I still don't quite understand, but it sounds amazing." Nagasaki Asuna clapped along.
Shen Xi silently covered her forehead, her disdain for the two of them evident.
"Dimensional jump is about to begin, three seconds countdown," Isena warned.
The three stopped talking.
"Three, two, one..."
The three of them felt their vision go white as they were transported to a depressing, gray, enclosed space.
"Where is this place?" Nagasaki Asuna looked up and around.
"Inspector, this is the cargo hold of the interdimensional teleportation station." Isena disappeared, leaving only her voice.
"Why is it the cargo hold?" Cheng Fei was taken aback.
“The passenger cabin is damaged and only the cargo hold is usable, so some turbulence is normal, please don’t worry…” Isena’s tone became guilty.
"I have a bad feeling about this?" Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head.
Shen Xi observed her surroundings expressionlessly.
The next second, the gravity in the cargo hold changed drastically.
The three were first thrown overhead, giving them a shock, then floated and lost weight, before being violently slammed against the wall a few seconds later.
Screams (Shen Xi didn't scream) filled the small cargo hold instantly, and the three of them were tossed and turned like vegetables in a wok.
"This is what you call... slightly?!"
"Cheng Fei! I feel like throwing up..."
"Desktop wallpaper, you just wait...!"
"Sorry, Archon! The jump path has suddenly encountered a cloud of cosmic dust!"
……
After a lengthy wok-tossing process, the cargo hold stopped shaking, the hatch opened, and a green light illuminated, as if to remind the three dizzy, disoriented people lying on the ground to take the food out of the pot.
Before anyone knew it, two girls were lying in the boy's arms, one on each side.
Cheng Fei was the first to come to his senses, staring at the ceiling. "You two, are you alright?"
"Ugh, I feel so dizzy..." Nagasaki Asuna was still groaning.
The quietest of them all, Shen Xi, frowned deeply, propped herself up to sit, and looked down at the boy with empty eyes. "Cheng Fei, what are you doing?"
"Teacher Shen, the jump path has encountered a cloud of cosmic dust." The boy said in a serious tone.
Nagasaki Asuna also came to her senses and realized that she and Shen Xi were being held by the boy. She blinked.
"I'm asking what you're doing?" Shen Xi emphasized, her sharp gaze sweeping over the hand on her waist.
"Teacher Shen, I was just trying to protect you." Cheng Fei surrendered in a second.
"It's one thing to try to take advantage of others all the time, but now you're so audacious... You're truly despicable, vulgar, and utterly boring!" Shen Xi quickly stood up and kicked him angrily.
"Teacher Shen, you are both my beloved ones. I couldn't help myself in that situation just now." The boy shook his head and sighed.
Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Asuna lowered her head, but couldn't help but smile.
"Shut up, I'm going to throw up." Shen Xi walked forward as if shaking off the two of them.
"A side effect of the bumpy ride? Inspector, quickly cast a healing spell on Her Majesty the Queen." The boy followed behind.
"Eh, really?" Nagasaki Asuna quickly raised her healing staff.
"Cheng Fei, are you going to openly disgust me with this vixen?" Shen Xi turned her head and glared at the boy.
"Teacher Shen, I was wrong." The boy put his hands together. "Never mind, Nana, she doesn't seem to be hurt."
Shen Xi took a deep breath and quickly left the cargo hold.
He then hurriedly retreated.
"What's wrong, Teacher Shen? Is there a ghost outside... Oh my god?!" Cheng Fei also went out and then came back.
"What's wrong?" Nagasaki Asuna gripped her staff and peered out, instinctively taking two steps back.
Just outside the cargo hold, less than a step away, lay a bottomless abyss.
The fragments at the edge were trampled, and some loosened and fell down, silently plunging into the churning sea of clouds.
The so-called teleportation station opened its doors in such a dangerous place.
"Where did they send this to? Is it really not on the first floor of the corridor?" Cheng Fei looked up and saw vines climbing on the moss-covered wall, resembling the dilapidated ruins that can be seen everywhere in the corridor.
"Isena, where is this place?" Shen Xi asked, frowning.
The cargo hold was deathly silent.
"If I remember correctly, Xiao Yi went silent halfway through. It's safe to say something must have happened. What do you think, Teacher Shen?" Cheng Fei glanced sideways.
Shen Xi frowned.
“You two, shouldn’t we leave first? I don’t feel safe here,” Nagasaki Asuna whispered.
Shen Xi remained unmoved.
"Teacher Shen, I suggest listening to Nana, since she has a stronger sense of perception."
"You go first." Shen Xi stepped aside.
"Ok."
Cheng Fei surveyed the terrain, then moved sideways with his back against the wall, taking a few minutes to reach the safe area next to the teleportation station.
A sparse woodland, dappled sunlight filtering through the treetops, making the dust particles in the air sparkle.
Seeing this, Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna followed one after the other, and passed the test without any major incident.
"That was terrifying." Nagasaki Asuna clutched her chest and let out an exaggerated sigh of relief.
"Teacher Shen, let me interview you. What were you thinking when you built the teleportation station on the cliff with the opening facing outwards? Was it a prank? I never thought you had such a mischievous side." Cheng Fei held up a microphone.
"Shut up. First of all, I didn't build this, and secondly, there must be some reason behind it." Shen Xi kicked him.
At this moment, the ground beneath their feet began to shake. Startled, Cheng Fei pulled the two girls away from the cliff.
Cracks appeared in the ground, and the strangely shaped teleportation station, entangled by tree roots and vines, slowly tilted, making crackling sounds.
In the blink of an eye, the several-story building, along with part of the ground below, peeled away and fell into the sea of clouds.
Not far from the continent where the three were, another continent floated, with rocks at its edges gradually peeling away.
Cheng Fei and the two girls watched this scene. "Okay, I understand why the teleportation station is on the cliff. Also, Teacher Shen, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you before. No wonder this place is called the Falling Land."
305. Three People in Another World
"Assuming these are normal phenomena, it seems that there are many floating continents in this world, and they are gradually collapsing." Shen Xi pinched her chin.
“That makes sense. Ms. Shen, your little brain is as sharp as ever.” Cheng Fei looked at her profile.
Shen Xi returned his gaze with disgust.
“But the teleportation station is gone, so does that mean we can’t go back?” Nagasaki Asuna asked, looking at the two with her hands behind her back.
"Nana, this is just a game of manipulating substitutes. Don't look at us with that worried expression, like we're trapped in another world, okay?"
"Huh? Oh right." Nagasaki Asuna paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
If Shen Xi weren't around, someone would definitely be unable to resist pinching her sweet and lovely little face at this moment.
