Chapter 234 (1/2)

Lulu, the guide was one of the few people Hao Ren knew in the space station at the edge of the solar system. It was pleasant to see someone familiar. His bad mood caused by the annoyed MDT had somewhat dissipated because of that. Without needing any reminders, Hao Ren knew the drill this time; He led Lily and Vivian away from the teleportation platform. As they walked over to the open floor opposite the teleportation platform, Lily suddenly came to her senses. She looked at the spectacular scenery and sighed heartily. “Awooo—”

Before she could finish howling, she was slapped and stopped by Vivian. “What the hell are you doing? Can you please behave yourself while you’re out here?”

Under normal circumstances, Lily would have gotten into a fight with Vivian, but this time, she was totally out of her character; her eyes were obsessed with whatever she saw, she scampered off and ran between the glowing columns in the hall. “It’s a space station! It’s a space station! It’s…”

Hao Ren hurried Vivian to keep going as he said, “Let’s go. We don’t know her.”

Lily shook her ears and ran back up, the excitement on her face had not subsided one bit. She wanted to get her hands on everything she saw and was restless like a rabbit on drugs. Hao Ren suddenly realised he should have put this lass on a leash. It did not matter how effective it would have been, at least, it would have complied with the safety requirements for keeping large dogs. The large husky had scared the hell out of the space station crew.

That being said, Vivian was also no less excited than Lily. However, she managed to behave—definitely a lass one would feel proud to go out with. She was always graceful and maintained her image as well as composure; a total opposite of the husky, who would be tempted to run on four legs when she got excited.

Except when finding money on the street, of course.

But Vivian never ever found any money on the street.

They paced through the scenic corridor where Hao Ren had once gone through. It looked like Lulu deliberately planned it so that the new guests could experience the unique scenery of Kuiper Station. Lily leaned herself against the shield, feeling extremely excited—she had nerves of steel, totally unafraid of the darkness and coldness of the space outside. After that, they were teleported to the special port where the Petrachelys was docked. They walked through a corridor high up across the space port, with giant windows on the side. Hao Ren looked through the glass and he could already see the massive body of the Petrachelys—though the spacecraft of several hundred metres was nothing compared to the Empire’s fleets of battleships, it was still extremely huge in Hao Ren’s eyes, and needless to say, Vivian and Lily’s as well.

The spacecraft had remained in the dock since the last time it ported, and was floating in the dock with help from a static energy field. A group of autonomous drones were flying around the spacecraft, conducting maintenance checks. The official ship of an inspector of the Empire did not need the maintenance services of the civilian port. All the crew members of Kuiper Station did was simply monitor it from the outside. The spacecraft could fully self-repair: it had life, it had its own onboard mechanical group, its own mini factory as well as production lines and it could take care of itself even under extreme conditions—like when the spacecraft was blown in half, it could regenerate itself. Lily leaned against the glass, wide-mouthed while she slid forward. “This is our spaceship…”

The husky maiden was pretty smart to say “our spaceship…”

“Awesome, isn’t it?” Hao Ren bragged. “The interior is much larger than the outside. It has spatial warp installation, and its warehouse can even fit an entire skyscraper.”

Vivian heard this and was astonished. She suddenly felt faint and almost dropped to the ground.

Hao Ren was startled and quickly held her up. “What’s wrong? Not adapting to the space environment?”

“No…” Vivian frowned as if she was confused herself. “I just felt like I was being held up in a spinning vessel and it made me dizzy… Oh gosh, here it comes again!”

This time, she was ready for it and held herself up well. Her expression did not look good though. Hao Ren was nervous. “Okay, wait. Lulu, she needs a doctor. The vampire may have space sickness…”

“Please, don’t. I don’t need a doctor. I know what’s wrong with me.” Vivian waved at them while she stared at Hao Ren with a strange expression. “It’s all your fault. Next time, I’m not going to send the bats by courier service!”
