It took Hao Ren a while to figure out what was going on and to make sure that he did not hear it wrong. Rollie, the untrustworthy dumb cat, finally could not resist the temptation of her appetite. When she saw Lil Pea lying on the table drying her tail, she attacked the little one. However, her bite did not even scratch off a single scale. The little mermaid even pulled out a large patch of fur from the dumb cat. When Hilda said that she "could not stop it", she did not mean that she did not protect Lil Pea, but the cat...
"Your cat fought with your fish, and your fish beat the cat to tears..." Becky's eyes twitched as she looked at Hao Ren. "What kind of species is this half-foot-long little guy?"
Hao Ren did not know what to say. After putting Lil Pea back into the basin, he quickly checked on Rollie's injuries. Fortunately, Lil Pea had only taught the cat a little lesson. Other than pulling out a few tufts of fur, she did not hurt the dumb cat. Thinking of the little one's strength that could lift a table full of food, she really could beat up a cat and a dog!
Rollie meowed pitifully in Hao Ren's arms. When she turned to look at Lil Pea, she could not help but shiver, her face full of fear. No matter how wild and unruly the cat was, at least from now on, she would never touch Lil Pea again... Hao Ren even felt that the cat would not dare to eat fish in the future.
He put the dumb cat back on the sofa and solemnly announced the good news to Hilda. "Your hometown has been found. Get ready this afternoon. We'll leave tomorrow. I'll personally send you back."
Hilda did not react for a moment. She was stunned for a moment before she suddenly stood up. "R-really?!"
After Hao Ren confirmed it again, Hilda could not help but take a deep breath. She pressed her hands on her chest as if her heart would jump out if she did not do so. After that, the elven queen, who was concerned about her homeland, began to fidget. She paced in a small circle in the living room excitedly, muttering to herself from time to time. "I don't know what's going on over there... I need Cardillon to give me a damage report... I don't know if Vimm will be able to appease the people while I'm away... Did the Isle of Stars get caught up in it..."
Hao Ren understood how Hilda felt, so he did not disturb her. After Hilda calmed down a little, he pressed her shoulder back to the sofa. "You need to relax now. We'll leave tomorrow morning. The Empire's teleportation is very fast, so you'll probably be back home tomorrow. You'd better think about what to do when you get back, lest you get lost."
Hilda quickly regained her composure as a queen. She nodded gratefully and then fell into deep thought. Unsurprisingly, Lily came over at that moment. "Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord, you said you'll take me on the spaceship this time..."
"Of course, anyone can come this time," Hao Ren said with a smile. "Tickets were limited last time, so only Big Guy and Wuyue followed me out to see the world. But this time, we can take our own spaceship. If there's anything you need to prepare, it's best to get it ready this afternoon."
Vivian was a little confused when she heard that. "Prepare... What do I need to prepare to take a spaceship? Do I need airsickness medicine? What about eating on the spaceship? And will there be radiation sickness in space... "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. I remember the spaceship has an ecological cycle and something used to synthesize materials. The environment is similar to that on Earth. You don't have to worry about radiation sickness... By the way, Lily, remember to bring your own brush. There's no such thing on the spaceship. "
Becky blinked and listened for a long time. At that moment, she finally found a chance to interrupt. "That... Can I go with you?"
Everyone looked back and saw that the mercenary girl's eyes were shining. Her excitement was no less than Lily's. As a time-traveler, it was unprecedented for her to be so high-profile. But before Hao Ren said anything, the MDT suddenly jumped out. "No! You can't go anywhere! "
Becky was disappointed. "Why?"
"Well... because of very complicated technical factors," the MDT found it difficult to explain high-tech issues to a mercenary who was playing with swords and guns. "Anyway, you're from The Plane of Dreams. The mapping relationship between that world and the Surface World has been very chaotic recently. We can't determine the extent of the disorder. So, it's best that you don't go anywhere to avoid adding another layer of stimulation to the 'balance'. Wait patiently. When we find out the source of the damage to the 'Barrier of Reality', we should be able to fix the problem. You have to believe in the organization, believe in us, believe in yourself, believe in... Anyway, just believe in us. "
Although Becky did not know what the mapping relationship between The Plane of Dreams and the Surface World was, she knew that it was a problem that could not be accommodated. So, she slumped on the sofa dejectedly. "Doesn't that leave me alone in this unfamiliar place? I don't even know how to use your stove. If you guys go out for more than five days, won't I starve to death in the house? "
Hao Ren realized that this was indeed a problem: Becky came to the Surface World under the premise of breaking the 'balance'. For safety reasons, she had to stay on Earth. But the girl had only learned how to turn on the TV and use the shower. If you let such an ignorant otherworldly person stay alone in your house for a few days... Not only Becky, but Hao Ren would also be worried about his pile of appliances! The microwave incident was still fresh in his mind...
He was really afraid that a few days later, when he came home, his house would appear on the local television. The host would point to the burning house and remind the general public to pay attention to fire prevention and electricity safety in winter...
"Who's going to stay and take care of her?" Hao Ren looked around with a dry smile. Before his voice trailed off, he saw Lily scurrying behind the sofa. But he did not expect the husky to stay and watch the house. He just wanted to see what the rest of them wanted. In the end, everyone looked at each other. Vivian opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Nangong Wuyue beat her to it. "I'll stay."
The siren maiden smiled and explained, "I've already taken the spaceship last time. This opportunity to broaden my horizons is yours."
Finally, Y'zaks picked up Lil Pea's basin and discussed with the rest. "Are we bringing her along this time?"
Lil Pea poked her head out from the edge of the basin and looked at Hao Ren. Then, she puffed up her cheeks and spat out a bunch of water. Hao Ren scrambled to dodge the mischievous action of the naughty child and said, "No, no, we're not going to play this time. What if we can't take care of her? Anyway, Wuyue is at home. Let Wuyue look after the child."
When Lil Pea heard this, she immediately spat out more water. Hao Ren had no choice but to push her back into the basin. The little one just turned into a fountain. No matter what, they could not bring her along this time.
The next morning, after breakfast, Hao Ren gathered everyone in the living room and prepared to teleport to Kuiper Station. The MDT reported the situation of the route from Kuiper Station to the World Gate. At the same time, the Petrachelys had also been awakened from hibernation and was now in good standby mode. As Hao Ren had not finished studying the introduction to starships and other basic courses, the voyage was mainly on autopilot. He needed the MDT to confirm the route in advance.
At the same time, the MDT reported a situation: Hilda's hometown was located at the edge of the Macroworld. It was registered during the emergency expansion of the Macroworld 10,000 years ago. At that time, only the world code was registered and a fully-automated expansion outpost was sent there to build a sovereign facility. There were no other inspectors stationed there, so Hao Ren could only get limited support this time.
It was almost a barren land.
However, the MDT said in the end, "But as long as you remember the key points in the employee handbook, stay calm in the face of danger, remember your sense of honor as a member of the Empire, face all challenges with a warrior's mentality, trust your teammates and your spacecraft, then..."
Hao Ren interrupted, "Then all the danger is not a problem?"
"No, you will die with more dignity this way."
Before Hao Ren could say "What the f * ck!", the white light of teleportation suddenly lit up and everyone had disappeared from the living room.
The next second, the teleportation platform of Kuiper Station lit up. The space station pilot, LuLu, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared in front of Hao Ren.
"Inspector, your spacecraft is ready," LuLu smiled and bowed. "Long time no see."
