If possible, Hao Ren really wanted to perish together with this crazy goddess. Unfortunately, he was no match for her.
"Can I still change the name of the spaceship?" Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 with a last glimmer of hope, but he got the expected negative answer. "No, I've already registered you in the work register and the Civil Aviation Administration. If you want to change the name, you have to go through the procedures yourself. I don't have the time."
Hao Ren let out a long sigh. It seemed like he would have to save the world in a spaceship called the Bastard Bun from now on.
Raven 12345 saw that Hao Ren was in a daze. She seemed to know that her naming skills had hit him again. She stiffly changed the topic. "Then let's not talk about the spaceship anymore. Let's talk about the egg. Who has the newbie? "
Hao Ren felt that Raven 12345's change of topic was worse than not changing it. It was just a change of topic from one stupid thing to another stupid thing! Talking about the magical egg still had a head full of lawsuits...
Nangong Wuyue opened her suitcase and took out the carefully protected white egg from a pile of soft cloth. "Here, this is it. What kind of egg is this? "
Raven 12345 took the egg, and her expression seemed to flash a trace of compassion. "The egg of a mermaid, from another world."
"Mermaid?!" Hao Ren and the other two exclaimed in unison.
"Yes, mermaids, and they were the last of their kind," Raven 12345 sighed. "The end of the world happened in a remote universe. The universe had problems at the beginning of its birth. It was a deformed baby. The entire universe grew too fast, and the basic constants were quite unstable. There were signs of collapse even before the emergence of advanced civilizations. Until the end of the world, there was only one planet with complex life forms. When the patrol team arrived, they found that the only living planet was being devoured by its own star. This egg was found in a tightly sealed underwater cave. It is the last remnant of life on the entire planet. It should have been sent to other places, but I sent it to you. You have a siren here, so you should know how to deal with this kind of thing — at least make sure it hatches smoothly. "
Hao Ren felt as if he had heard a story that was quite far away from him. The end of the world, the extinction of civilization, the collapse of the universe, the swallowing of planets by stars... These things sounded so distant to him that he could hardly understand them. He only knew that the white egg in front of him was of great significance: it was the last remaining individual of the mermaid race in a certain world. This was a burden that he had never thought of.
"You want me to take care of this?" Hao Ren carefully took the strange egg from Raven. "... I have no experience in this. What if I can't take good care of it?"
"I'll try my best." Raven 12345 shrugged. "This egg hasn't reached the standard of civilization, so I can't report it to a higher department. I can only hand it over to an inspector who is free. Just be careful not to break it."
"I have a question." Wuyue suddenly raised her hand. "Are you mistaken... I am a siren, not a mermaid! And even if I am a mermaid, I don't know how to take care of an egg okay? I was born on land! "
"Eh, is that so?" Raven 12345 looked curious. "Is there a difference?"
"There is a big difference!" Wuyue pointed at Hao Ren. "He has seen my siren form. I can only turn into a mermaid, but I am a siren. I can even turn into a mantis shrimp, and you want me to take care of shrimps? "
"I know you are a siren." Raven 12345 nodded. "As far as I know, the sirens in this world are similar to the mermaids in other worlds. At least you are all oviparous. I thought you knew how to take care of an egg."
Wuyue had a strange look on her face. "That's why I said I was born on land. I am a mixed-blood, okay? I have never been to the deep sea since I was young. How would I know what a siren born from an egg looks like... "
Hao Ren did not know why his brain twitched. He looked at Wuyue in surprise. "So you can lay eggs?"
Wuyue's face immediately turned red. "... I have not tried, but it seems like I can..."
"Ahem." Hao Ren felt that if he continued this topic, he would have to go to Animal World. He quickly cut it off and looked at the egg awkwardly. "Even Wuyue doesn't know how to take care of an egg. What do you want me to do?"
"Young man, do your best." Raven 12345 patted Hao Ren on the shoulder. "I have received an analysis report from the higher-ups. Perhaps this mermaid race is born to survive in a harsh environment. Their eggs can survive and hatch in a very harsh environment. I believe that as long as you do not cook it, it will successfully hatch into a baby fish..."
Hao Ren: "..."
The three sane people present all thought that this matter was unreliable. However, the one who made the decision was a psychopath. Raven 12345 had happily decided everything before anyone could object. Hao Ren now had to find a way to hatch this important egg...
"Alright, alright. Now put the egg away and let's leave this place." Raven 12345 clapped her hands and urged them to take off. She seemed to be more anxious to get back than Hao Ren. "Where's the MDT? Start the engine pack. Let's see how fast this thing is when it's officially started! "
The MDT had been stuck in the external host slot for a long time. It was itching to do something. When it was still on the production line, its biggest dream was to become a warship host. Of course, everyone knew that it eventually became a PDA. But that did not diminish its ambition. Now, it felt that it had found a new hope in life: it could no longer be a warship host, but at least it could temporarily pretend to be the host of a business ship. As the command from its core was received by the powerful equipment on the ship, the surging power from the energy core made the MDT jump in joy. It issued an order with great vigor. "Listen to my command. Warship set sail!"
"Why do I feel that this thing is more important than me?" Hao Ren looked at the MDT strangely. Then, he continued to study the dazzling data on the control platform with Raven 12345.
"Go back and study the operation guide yourself." Raven studied it for a while and then gave up on understanding the problem which seemed too difficult to her. "Try to figure out how to control the ship in three years."
The speed of the spacecraft was extremely fast. Although there was no acceleration inside, it had already reached the edge of the atmosphere. The MDT activated a few sets of external monitors. The silver-white wall in front of the control room immediately became transparent, and the curved horizon appeared in front of everyone. Raven 12345 looked at the vibrant planet and could not help but sigh. "I actually built this planet for fun. Thousands of years ago, I came here to add a new ecosphere. At that time, it was still a barren land. Now, look at it... Nature really is a work of art."
"You built this planet yourself. Why are you sighing?" Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 strangely.
"Oh, I really am a work of art."
Everyone was speechless.
"I suggest you keep the coordinates of this planet." Raven 12345 patted Hao Ren on the shoulder. "The ecological environment here has evolved very well. Your tenants can survive here. Keeping the coordinates as a tourist spot in the future, in case it comes in handy."
Hao Ren looked at Raven strangely. She did not seem to be the kind of person who would give such trivial advice. This goddess was too careless. How could she have the leisure to care about the life and entertainment of Hao Ren and his superhuman family? So, he instinctively felt that Raven 12345 had some kind of trap for him to jump into.
But what Raven 12345 said also made sense. This interstellar journey was Hao Ren's first step into the sea of stars in his life. He had to keep something as a souvenir. Since he had found such a strange terrestrial planet, he should keep its coordinates.
Maybe he could bring Lily here to play in the future. The canine maiden would definitely like the open beach and the chewy wooden sticks here.
So, Hao Ren let the MDT choose a suitable place to leave the coordinates. The MDT drove the spacecraft to the gravitational balance point of the planet and the local star. "Leave the relative coordinates here. Using the gravitational balance point of the planet and the star as a benchmark, we can calculate it when we teleport. This will prevent us from crashing into the sun the next time we come."
Looking into space from this balance point, the sun was a huge dazzling fireball, and the nameless planet had disappeared in the brilliant sunlight. Hao Ren stared blankly in the weakened sunlight for a while. Then, he gently exhaled and said, "Let's go back."
A blue light flashed in space. The Petrachelys had left the nameless, remote star system.
