This was the capital of the Empire, the military base of the Shadow Fortress, and the Spatial Management Center.
This was one of the most important links in the multiverse, the intersection point of the dimensional passageways that connected countless worlds. It was the most crucial facility that could easily break through the sturdy dimensional barrier, allowing the Empire to descend on any world at any time.
A huge square with a radius of 1 kilometer was already considered huge for a temporary personnel transfer port. It was heavily guarded, had an SSS security rating, and possessed 20 World Gates that could be opened at the same time. All these descriptions were filled with a solemn feeling. When it was just completed, my elder sister even suggested to erect a statue of me and Sandora in the square and name the hub after us. Of course, this suggestion was rejected by me in a cold sweat.
Now, it seemed that my rejection back then was correct.
This was because this square was now filled with things that would make one cry: Private workers, luggage carriers, ticket scalpers, tea egg sellers, pancake stalls, corn roasted, newspaper and magazine sellers, souvenir sellers, people wearing red bands, yellow bands, people holding small flags. I even met two people wearing sunglasses who were fortune-tellers …
From afar, it looked like the Empire's Spatial Hub, but when I got closer, it looked like a Tangfeng bus station — it was worse than a bus station. At the very least, there wasn't anyone selling firearms in public at the bus station, right? Just which department is that bastard over there from!! What are you trying to do by stuffing a Gauss rifle into Wugeng Liuli's hands!?
"I feel like I've met this place before."
Looking at the lively scene in the Spatial Management Center's Hub square with my mouth agape, even my elder sister who was usually calm and tranquil couldn't help but complain. You should know that my elder sister usually never complained!!
"This bunch of embarrassing things …"
I covered my head as my head swelled up. I almost couldn't bear to look at everything in front of me. Back then, such a good group of iron-blooded empire soldiers were actually forming a line outside the waiting area to sell tea eggs. Back then, it was the biggest mistake of my life that I hadn't shot Sicarro in time. Now, that old bastard's virus was already wreaking havoc in the entire empire's military.
"Slow down, little brother!" Just as I was thinking about the source of pollution, a certain uncle's familiar voice sounded behind me. I turned around in a daze, only to see an extremely cool uncle with a knight's face blocking a shota wearing large spectacles and starting his sinful promotion campaign. "Do you want a plate?"
This old bastard wouldn't even let off children under ten years old! No matter how precocious humans were, there was no way they would go shopping at the age of ten, right?
Sure enough, the creature that was stopped immediately waved his hand in panic, "No, no, no! Uncle, I'm in a hurry! That kind of thing … It's still too early for me to look at that kind of thing … "
Speaking of which, that kid really matured early.
"Little brother, don't worry. I have everything here!" Instead, he used his empty left hand to pull out a large pile of things from the satchel on the ground. "You like Ultraman? Animal World? And a limited edition Jin Ping Mei? "
That shota's face turned purple. "Uncle! I'm really in a hurry! "
"Alright, it seems that you don't want a plate." Sicarro calmly took back the disk and took out a Zhou Yi diagram and spread it on the ground. "Little brother, what's your name? What's your date of birth? Let me do a divination for you!"
"Conan … No, uncle, I really don't have time …"
Sicarro helplessly put away the Zhou Yi diagram and asked, "Then, do you want to get a certificate? It's fast. One minute is enough. Second generation ID card, authentic. "
"Please, uncle, if you don't let go, I won't be able to catch up!"
"Okay, this is my business card." Seeing that the other party wasn't even interested in getting a certificate, Sicarro finally scratched his head and took out a small piece of paper from his pocket. "In the future, if you use the receipt to buy cigarettes, alcohol, or watch, you can contact me. I guarantee the authenticity of all of them.
The shota who claimed to be Conan immediately took the business card gratefully, turned around, and ran, "Thank you, uncle! We will contact each other in the future … Oh no … "
"What's wrong?" Sicarro was packing his satchel that looked like Jingle's cat. Seeing that the other party turned back, he immediately asked curiously.
"The bus has already left." The unlucky Conan said with a sad face. "There are only two bus trips back today. I can't even buy a ticket for the next one."
Who is Sicarro? He's an old fox among old foxes, an old hooligan among old hooligans. He chuckled on the spot and took out a ticket from his pocket …
I led a group of beauties to watch the whole process from behind. At this time, all of them were almost petrified.
"The Asida sisters must have this brain." Lin Xue was silent for a long time and sighed. "At least they can eat instant noodles …"
"Don't be too optimistic." I patted Lin Xue's shoulder. "The price of instant noodles has risen recently."
"Huh?"
This isn't the time to discuss the price of instant noodles, right?!
"Sicarro, you old bastard!!!"
In the end, a thunderous roar finally sounded in the bustling Tangfeng Bus Station … Cough cough, on the square of the Spacetime Hub, the surrounding area of more than two hundred meters was instantly silent. A certain Empire commander who had just sold a ticket in the middle of the open space wanted to run away. In the blink of an eye, two figures as swift as cats rushed up the moment Sicarro took a step. With two loud bangs, Uncle Hei Chao flew back horizontally.
Pandora and Visca's joint ultimate skill, a 1.2 meter powerful downward kick!
Don't be curious why it's a downward kick. These two short wintermelon legs straightened, so it's a downward kick.
"Cough cough, boss, long time no see …"
"Not see your sister!" I almost vomited a mouthful of stomach acid. "Was it you who sold at the Mars base yesterday? It's your turn to cause trouble again today? "
"Isn't this for economic development and to hone my anti-tracking skills … Okay, boss, I understand. I'll go to the detention room …"
"I think this guy will still be a hero in the piracy world after he comes out."
Looking at Sicarro's bleak back disappearing from the square, Lin Xue said with a fake smile.
This brat who just touched my sore spot!
"Okay, okay, Ah Jun." In the end, it was my elder sister who comforted me as usual. She rubbed my hair like she did when I was young and pointed across the square, "Actually, most of the Empire soldiers are still doing their job honestly. Also, look, not all of those unreliable guys are Empire soldiers, right?"
When I looked over, I saw that Laura was leading a group of believers in selling crosses to passing tourists … er, people from another world. Behind her, there were two Tauren Shamans who didn't seem to be doing very well. Each of them was holding a large rack of combs made from bull horns. Their bull eyes were wide open as they glared at Laura.
I just want to know where the raw materials for those combs come from …
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with these guys."
In the end, I said dispiritedly, silently agreeing to the happy … chaotic situation here. "It's been more than a month and these guys have to deal with complicated missions that they have never encountered before. They are really busy. Let's just treat it as letting them be happy for a few days from today onwards."
Visca immediately jumped over and said, "Big brother is the best!"
"That doesn't include you!" I rolled my eyes at the energetic little brat. "I heard that during the few days I wasn't around, I led my personal guards to sweep through the fruit street in the third residential district just because someone said that eating more vitamins can promote growth. I say, is it even useful for you to take vitamins? You should learn from your elder sister. Look at how honest Pandora is usually … "
Before I could finish, Visca pouted and pointed at Pandora as she muttered, "I heard that she drank milk to grow taller. She kidnapped all the wild bulls in Avalon!"
"They're all bulls!" Pandora complained, which was rare for her.
Visca immediately raised his head proudly. "Because I hid the cows in advance!"
Then, it was time for the two awkward sisters to fight each other.
"To be honest, Blockhead, sometimes I really admire you," Lin Xue teased after they avoided the dust-filled battlefield of Pandora and Visca. "You were Nightingale in your past life, right?"
No, I was just a J-11 with broken wings in my previous life.
"How long will it take to repatriate all the people here?"
In such joy (?) In such a joyous (?) atmosphere, it took us about two hours to finish inspecting every facility in the Hub Square. Once we found a place to rest, I couldn't wait to ask the person in charge here, Silvers.
"Repatriating the transmigrators is a smooth process in the beginning, but it gets slower and more troublesome as time goes on," Pandora's external thinking circuit, the long, black, and mature sister Silvers immediately entered a serious state when she reported the work, even though she was the first one to turn into a monument when her general and the general's sister fought. "Although it seems like our work is progressing at lightning speed and there are thousands of people being sent into the space-time tunnel every hour, it won't be long before this speed slows down. One-third of the transmigrators are still unable to confirm their origins. Even though we found their world, it is too far away and we can't reach it directly. We need to set up a waymark in the void. This is the most time-consuming task. If we want them all to return home, it might take another month."
"It doesn't exceed my expectations by too much." I nodded my head.
"There is another point," Silvers added. "There is an extremely small number of transmigrators who wish to settle down in the City of Shadows. They have passed the verification, or we have taken the initiative to invite them to settle down here after thorough consideration, such as Liliana and the poison island Chestnut. Although these people have already obtained the registration of the World Management Terminal, the final arrangement is still a problem. They are currently living in the residential area, but the residential area will be gone in a month's time. We can't specially preserve such a large space for a few dozen people from another world. The most suitable solution is to let them live together with the current residents of the City of Shadows, but …"
But currently, more than half of the residents of the City of Shadows are outsiders, right? Other than the officers of the Imperial Army, there are also the heroes of the various worlds. They aren't good neighbors. It's not that these heroes have any bad habits of being xenophobic, but …
How should I put it? Can you accept a Mountain King who transforms into a giant every day and smashes Jingle in the yard, or a Blood Elf Mage who researches on arcane energy every day and creates an explosion every twelve hours on average, as your neighbor? Perhaps they are already used to each other, but I firmly believe that the others can't stand it.
"Unless there is a dangerous species like the Saiyans, arrange for the others to live in the Gakuen City District." After weighing the pros and cons, I made a decision. "The prerequisite is that they don't affect the normal lives of the Osaka sisters … Hey, right, it just so happens that there are suitable transmigrators who can be arranged to teach at the sisters' school. If I let the Empire soldiers teach the Osaka sisters, Meiqin will definitely nag me to death the next time she comes!"
"To be honest, I have always been worried about the education of the Osaka sisters." Lin Xue pretended to be serious as she frowned. "Blockhead, don't you think that the classes they usually attend are a little too rich?"
I scratched my head. "But they are responding very well. Even the Osaka sisters have expressed that their current lives are very joyful."
"Too joyful …" Lin Xue shrugged. "Other than the regular cultural classes, there are also classes such as driving Gundam, building mecha, warship maintenance, quantum engineering, elemental magic, advanced arcane magic, violin, sand painting, advanced alchemy, soul studies, shaman secret arts, voodoo, heroic spirit summoning, ancient martial arts of various worlds, divine arts, shooting, ballistics, nuclear bomb manufacturing and maintenance, spatial magic, melee combat, assassination techniques, poison, etiquette, dance, strategic command, stealth techniques, hunter techniques, advanced Holy Light …"
"Stop, stop, stop …" I made Lin Xue's head throb and I hurriedly shouted for her to stop. However, she completely ignored me and continued to shake her head. "… Animation production, 3D modeling, fighter jet piloting, fire control, archeology, sculpture, flower arranging, bioengineering, priestcraft, cooking, massage, antimatter weapon modification, paper cutting, singing, mind control, theory of annihilation, shadow energy, curses, black magic … Last month, Shallow shallow even opened the door to the History of Time. Furthermore, there are probably two other transmigrators who can teach the Art of Freedom … Blockhead, I'm not done yet!"
I admit that at this moment, this body has already become a monument. Everyone can come and pay their respects.
"In total, there are about two hundred elective classes. What's worse is that, including the cultural classes, all of these classes are chosen based on personal interests. It doesn't matter if you can't learn them, it doesn't matter if you can't learn all of them, it doesn't matter if you don't learn anything at all. Even if you go berserk, all you have to do is send them to the Yggdrasill. Oh my god, that military academy has basically become a monster army camp and a nursery — isn't this kind of life a little too joyful?"
In any case, Shallow shallow would definitely like that kind of school atmosphere. She had long since proclaimed herself the honorary headmaster of the academy.
However, I had no intention of changing the lives of my younger sisters. It was my intention to let them live happily ever after. Since Misaka liked it that way, I would let them be. In my opinion, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing to have such a valiant military academy. If someone really wanted to, they could study in the academy and become a Clark Walker. If someone really wanted to, they would only need half a semester to study at Clark Kent, and Lin Xue's words about that place being a "monster army camp" made sense. Previously, there were even two blood elf archmages who applied to have their children study there. I heard that they applied for the Divine Arts and Priestess Studies under Headmaster Liliana (or Dumbledore), but regrettably, Liliana disappeared the next day …
Speaking of Liliana, I didn't know how she was doing. Drifting about in another world was probably what she feared the most. Unfortunately, according to Tawil's final analysis, all coordinates could only be determined after the dimensional turbulence had completely calmed down. Right now, all I could do was pray for her … and the people of another world she was oppressing.
"Right, Ah Jun, I have an immature idea!"
Just as I was deeply reminiscing about Liliana, who had already transformed into a beautiful figure on the other side of the Three-Way River (…), Shallow shallow's eyes suddenly lit up as she jumped over to me.
Would it be alright if you didn't say it?
"Let's preserve this hub!"
In the end, Shallow shallow still said it out loud.
"Preserve it?" I tried my best to imagine what Shallow shallow might have come up with at this moment, but of course, it was futile. "What do you want to do?"
Shallow shallow lowered her head in embarrassment. "It's so hard for everyone to gather together and be so lively. Now that everyone is leaving, it feels so empty … If we keep this teleportation hub, perhaps there will be people from another world who want to come back and have a reunion … Yep, Ah Jun, I know this is a little too much, and it will cause a lot of trouble for Seves and the others, but …"
So that's how it was. Her natural liking for liveliness was stirred up.
Although it was a little unexpected, it was in line with Shallow shallow's usual personality. She was a silly girl who really liked to have fun with everyone, and would be very happy as long as there was trouble. It seemed that she had a lot of fun in the past month of transmigrating to another world. And now, everything was about to come to an end, and the lively and interesting guests from other worlds were about to leave. Shallow shallow felt a little disappointed.
Keeping this teleportation hub would allow those people from another world to come back and have a joyous gathering that would never end. It was just Shallow shallow's occasional stubbornness.
"Sandora, will it work?"
This time, Shallow shallow did not think of carrying out the plan immediately, but rather sensibly realized that it could cause trouble for others. That made me very happy, and so after some thought, I asked about the feasibility of the plan. As long as it wasn't too much, it was nothing to fulfill a small wish of Shallow shallow's.
"Perhaps we will have to consider the security of the Shadow Fortress for a long period of time, but it can be easily solved through technological means and military control." Sandora nodded. "Besides, this plan isn't without any benefits. A large number of coordinates and stable spatial passages to new worlds are valuable intangible assets to the Empire. Ah Jun, I haven't told you yet. In fact, after these Transmigrators return, I will also be preserving those world coordinates and spatial passages. Those things can allow us to expand our influence to an unimaginable extent when the conditions are met. Although it might take a long time, it wouldn't take much effort to make use of those spatial passages to realize Shallow shallow's plan."
"Hooray!" Shallow shallow was instantly excited. "Ah Jun, Ah Jun! Let's start a travel company! I've even thought of a name … "
I knew it, this was just the beginning of this lass's crazy train of thought.
But putting the travel company aside first, it seems like I've thought of a pretty good idea …
