”Shang, have we arrived yet?” asked Ye Chong in his Captain’s seat.
According to what Lu Caite had stated, his teacher Mr. Wang Weixing could very likely be at a medical institute on Windstar. Based on the galactic layout stored inside Mu Shang’s databank, Windstar should be located in the galaxy of Csebesini and it was a planet well-known for its tourism. The globe mainly consisted of attractive and poetic sceneries, frequented with intergalactic tourists who adored and appreciated the unique view of its flora and fauna.
Hence, the final destination both Ye Chong and Shang had agreed on turned out to be outer space which was three days away from the Windstar. Ye Chong would leave and trigger the self-destruct system on the ship, just to make sure that no trace would remain to guide those fearsome ones from the Sanctuary there. The location of Windstar might be extremely distant from the Orbits, but Ye Chong did not intend to let his guard down yet, as he was very much aware of the strength of the Sanctuary, their armed forces, their psychic abilities. He might not be that vulnerable to their strike, still he felt that such kind of mistake was never necessary to begin with.
”Uh… Bad news, Ye. I’m sorry to inform you that…” Shang’s tone was blatantly awkward.
”What bad news? Are you going to say that the Sanctuary actually had made it here and they are just behind? No way! They can’t be finding me out this quickly! Don’t tell me my luck is so terrible that we bumped into one of their men in our course!” Ye Chong’s expression was spelling astonishment.
”Not… Not that bad, Ye.” Shang sounded like a shrinking violet, ”It’s just that we met a tiny… issue.” Somehow the words kept clogging at his audio system.
”Tiny problem you mean?” Ye Chong raised his brows and asked in bewilderment. ”What kind of problem was it?”
”Umm… Ye. So, my calculation was a little, a little off from the actuality. Just a little.” Shang sounded like a boy who tried covering up for his mistake in front of his mother after he accidentally spilled ice cream on his younger sister.
”Off? Mistake?” Ye Chong looked at Shang in disbelief, ”Shang, you actually make mistakes? Stop pulling my leg!” Shang, an advanced Photon-Stimulated Intelligence, the lecturer of life, the computerized interrogator of torment, told me that he made a mistake? This is too much. Shang’s calculation might not be as powerful as Mu, but it was still quite groundbreaking for Ye Chong to hear from this robotic genius admitting, declaring his mistake.
”Ahem… Ye, stop looking at me like that… I’m feeling shy you know…” The bleeping mechanical eyes of Shang blinking in blue hues with that somehow eerie tone of his, was goosebumps-inducing to Ye Chong.
”So now what are we gonna do?” The outcome was always Ye Chong’s priority.
”We are currently at a course named the ‘Solrivia’,” stated Shang.
”How far is that from the Windstar?” This was more of his concern than the name of the orbit they were traveling on.
”Ummm…” Shang halted, ”Not too far… But we can’t do a direct flight there, somehow.”
Ugh.
The veins bloated on Ye Chong’s forehead, tried his best inhibiting his fury, he asked, ”Then how long are we going to take to the Windstar on this space-jump?”
”Uhh, Ye, the issue was not the duration, rather… well, the remaining energy on this ship was insufficient to perform the following space-jump.” Shang turned back to his usual self again, not the slightest shame was felt in his words, ”The distance of the space-warp this time is a bit too far. Great amount of energy would be needed for consumption!”
The bloated veins on Ye Chong’s forehead pumped harshly a few times, ”Shang…” Biting his teeth, ”Have you ever considered confessing your so-called ‘mistake’ to me? Like sincerely apologetically?”
”Aw c’mon Ye, don’t be so grim. You can’t say no to Angela’s latest photo collection. Ye, let me clarify something for you… Angela’s body has got to be the best among all stars I had seen before. The curve was superb, mhmm, magnefique! Seniorita, you are the God’s gift I could ever have,” exclaimed Shang, like a poet by the beach, acted very much indulged in his joy, ”I was calculating her figures, you know, the golden proportion of her ‘curves’ that makes her so flawless, so adorable, so alluring? Ye, do you know what I had gotten in the end?”
”Oh…” Ye Chong replied uninterestedly, ”What you got?”
”Holy Matrimony, her body was the exact tangent and proportion of what the public considered as perfection, both theoretically and practically. It was too dramatic the moment I discovered this very truth of my life. It was shocking, as much as how the humanity reacted the moment they discovered space-travels.” Shang was worked up.
”More importantly, you mean you missed on the calculation of our space-jump course just because of how astounded you were over her figures?” inquired Ye Chong calmly.
”That aside! That aside! It’s just a tiny, little, minuscule problem. A very small issue,” Shang’s expression was lustrous to Ye Chong’s eyes somehow.
”If there’s a black hole here now, I would not hesitate to lob you there,” Ye Chong’s wrath erupted as he sprung from his seat and made a few violent kicks at Shang.
