It was a satisfying meal. Luo Yuan finished the barbecue and ate an orange to get rid of the grease. He then laid on the grass, rubbing his bloated stomach while chatting with the others. He felt relaxed as he smelled the fragrance of the grass.
Nowadays, there was not much food available to humans. It had been better in the past two years. If it had been a few years ago, everyone would have been eating vegetarian food every day. For carnivores like Luo Yuan who could not live without meat, it was undoubtedly a painful thing. It was only after the introduction of cultivated meat that the situation became slightly better. However, after eating too much and tossing and turning, it became tiresome.
Huang Jiahui asked casually, "Why didn't you ask your secretary to come?"
Everyone looked at Luo Yuan.
A few of them sensed something strange and became alert. Chen Xinjie's existence was not a secret. She could be seen in some news media from time to time. She was a beautiful woman, and she was Luo Yuan's secretary. That alone was enough to alert them.
"This is a family gathering. Why would I ask a secretary to come?" Luo Yuan said calmly, lying on the ground with a stalk of grass in his mouth. His expression did not change.
What a nice way to put it! Huang Jiahui gritted her teeth. When Cheng Guanghui was his secretary, he would come to the house from time to time to report on the situation.
However, ever since Chen Xinjie became his secretary, this kind of situation had never happened. Although it might be to avoid arousing suspicion, if it was too deliberate, it would only make it more obvious. Moreover, every few days, no more than 10 days, Luo Yuan would use work as an excuse to stay out. It had been like this for the past few years. It was too regular!
However, she only thought about it in her heart. Ever since she had met him, Luo Yuan had always been like that. Over the years, there were more and more women around him. If he were to get jealous, it would not be enough. As long as he did not bring any women back, everything would be fine.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Luo Yu and his siblings stayed at home yesterday. You happened to be working overtime, so I forgot to tell you." Huang Jiahui changed the topic.
"Oh, why didn't they call me when they came?" Luo Yuan laughed. He had slept at Chen Xinjie's place yesterday, so he had missed it.
"Who told you to be so serious? You scared them away." Zhao Yali rebuked. The four of them had joined the research institute a year ago, and they had all moved away from home to live alone. Their home was not as lively as before, and it felt a little lonely. "I think it's better to let them come back. How can the outside world be as good as home? They will still listen to you."
After spending so many years with Luo Yuan, the four of them were less afraid of him and more like family members. However, they still could not relax when they were with him. This was their subconscious decision. In their hearts, Luo Yuan was like a strict father, respectable but not close.
He knew the reason behind it, but the others did not. Luo Yuan smiled bitterly and did not explain. "Children will want to live their own lives when they grow up. Let them be. It's not like they won't come back."
After saying that, Luo Yuan smacked his lips. He realized that he felt old for saying that. In fact, he was only thirty years old, and he looked like a young man in his twenties. Over the years, time had not left any trace on his body. It was as if his youth had been fixed on him.
Even he did not know how long his lifespan was.
However, to him, death was definitely something that was far away.
…
After relaxing for half a day, Luo Yuan asked everyone to continue playing and he exited the virtual space. During this period of time, all the departments were extremely busy because of the upcoming voyage. Being able to take half a day off was considered a break from the busy schedule.
As soon as he exited the virtual world, the feeling of being in control returned.
A strong body, a perception that could control the entire space, a keen five senses, and a four-dimensional vision that could see through the three-dimensional world. Everything made him feel as if he had regained what he had lost.
He could not help but feel a little emotional. Perhaps he had gotten used to it, but he had neglected it.
The long period of peaceful environment and the heavy workload had made him slack in his pursuit of power. He was no longer as diligent as he used to be. He could not remember when was the last time he trained his body. Other than meditating, he had never trained his body. However, he did not know why, at this moment, there was an inexplicable fire in his heart. The power in his body that was like a dormant volcano seemed to be ready to move.
Luo Yuan, who initially planned to return to the office, suddenly changed his mind.
He quietly walked out of the bedroom and released his Sense. The distance between the building and the inner wall of the spaceship was only about 100 meters. With his Sense that had a diameter of 650 meters, it soon broke through the thick armor of the spaceship and extended into space.
The next moment, he disappeared from where he was standing.
The nearest planet was Venus. He activated the space-time bubble and flew towards Venus.
Although it was said to be the nearest planet, it was actually 20 million kilometers away. Even with the speed of light, it would take him more than a minute to travel. However, to Luo Yuan, as long as it was not within 100 million kilometers, it was not considered far.
After flying for less than 50 minutes, he was already close to the planet's atmosphere. He immediately deactivated the space-time bubble. Undoubtedly, flying at such a "short distance" at an ultra-high speed was a relatively risky thing to do. If one was not careful, one could directly penetrate the entire planet's core.
Physical damage was ineffective against the space-time bubble, but heat and light were not restricted.
The terrifyingly high temperature inside the planet was enough to burn him into ashes in a short period of time. Moreover, the environment was extremely complicated. The extreme magnetic field and the strong pressure caused the space to warp. Perhaps, before he was burned into ashes, the curvature bubble would be forcefully flattened.
Space could be said to be strong, but it could also be said to be weak.
It was a level of power that was difficult to reach with ordinary means. It was high up, mysterious, and omnipresent. Be it physical force or energy, it seemed to be immune to it.
However, as long as one could find a way to affect it, it could be easily disturbed. For example, Luo Yuan's weak Will could cause waves in it.
The atmosphere of Venus was rather dense. According to the data from the artificial intelligence system, the atmospheric pressure on Venus was 90 times that of Earth. In addition to the fact that it was close to the Sun, the change in temperature was intense.
Standing near the planet, Luo Yuan could clearly see that the atmosphere was moving at a rapid speed.
This kind of atmospheric movement had happened on Earth before. It was when the devastating disaster had just happened. However, to this planet, such storms were completely normal and happened almost all the time.
Without hesitation, Luo Yuan quickly rushed towards the atmosphere.
Before he got close, his sharp sense of smell could already smell a pungent sour smell. He did not slow down but he stopped breathing.
Moving forward was more difficult than he had imagined. The dense atmosphere made him feel like he was underwater. The fast-moving storm made him feel like a leaf in the wind, rolling around recklessly.
Fortunately, he was experienced in this. Based on the direction of gravity, he teleported a few times and arrived on the surface.
