Chapter 802: Chapter 802
For the entire next day, Du You’s wristwatch never stopped ringing as people kept coming to congratulate him. This was even more exhausting than fighting all day long, leaving him helpless. Google seaʀᴄh 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
This was because he usually kept a small social circle and knew relatively few people; otherwise, the congratulations would have kept his wristwatch buzzing for days.
"I finally understand why many people host banquets when they have something to celebrate," he said. "Putting everyone together is better than contacting them one by one for conversations. It also saves time."
"Master, you are now a tier four expert," he added. "Above tier four, no one on Earth is a commoner."
At that moment, Li Mengyao’s call came through. "Sorry, Du You, I just got back. I heard about your achievement, congratulations! Do you need anything right now? I can help."
"Thanks, I’ve got it handled," Du You knew what she meant and offered no explanation.
After chatting for a while, Li Mengyao seemed to be busy with something and quickly ended the call.
"Master, have you considered these two women? Both are quite impressive," Lin Yucha suddenly said.
"Consider what? Their status is too high, mixing with them would bring too much trouble; I’m someone who hates trouble. I won’t make myself miserable for the sake of beauty," he responded.
Of course, it wasn’t completely unthinkable, but Du You didn’t have much confidence in himself.
His past life experiences made him always see himself as an ordinary person, not from the same world as those well-bred ladies. "Having you two is satisfying enough, what more could I ask for?"
"That won’t do, our status is a bit low; you still need a wife," she replied.
Although Lin Yucha felt sweet, she still reminded him for his sake.
"Let’s talk about it later; we are still young." That was indeed true; considering their current lifespan, it wasn’t wrong to say they were still in their infancy. After all, wasn’t everyone a baby?
"Oh, look, so this is what outer space beyond Earth is like," Lin Yushi suddenly exclaimed.
Outer space? Du You had always been looking for information regarding this but had never found any. It seemed that such materials were restricted to tier four and above, probably to keep those of lower power levels in the dark.
"Let me see." Du You browsed the information on Lin Yushi’s wristwatch and gradually understood.
"No wonder nobody likes to go into outer space; turns out it’s impossible to enter the Other World there. Well, not exactly impossible, but there are certain requirements."
Outer space, not belonging to Earth’s planets, was actually inhabited. With so much data obtained from the tech worlds, it would be too wasteful if other planets couldn’t be modified for use.
To enter the Other World on other planets in the Starry Sky, you either needed your own domain or could use someone else’s. Without an operational domain gate, entry was absolutely impossible. Even with a domain gate, the influence was significant. For instance, many worlds couldn’t be linked to at all.
Thus, outer space now was much like the private islands in Du You’s past life, all privately owned territories.
"The price isn’t low, but you can buy with Yellow Crystal Coins, maybe we could buy one."
Du You found that those modified planets were clearly priced, almost exclusively sold to various lords. These planets could be used as personal backyards for lords to cultivate their forces.
Many ordinary people who couldn’t become Professionals chose to live on better-conditioned planets. If their descendants possessed the necessary talents, they had to sign an employment contract with the planet’s lord and become part of their force.
Using this method, many lords were able to develop a powerful force.
Moreover, developing technology on one’s own planet as a private domain was also an excellent choice.
Of course, most knowledgeable people wouldn’t consider living on other planets. Only on Earth could one freely enter other worlds and enjoy the conveniences Earth offered. Going to other planets was almost like binding oneself and one’s descendants to someone else, not something everyone liked.
But of course, the world is vast and filled with all kinds of people, so other planets were never short of Earthlings. As long as Earthlings started spreading there, those places became their bases.
However, outer space was not so peaceful, often erupting in conflicts. On Earth’s side of outer space, with no other lifeforms, any conflict that arose had to be instigated by other lords or organizations.
"It seems outer space isn’t peaceful, either. No, it should be said it’s even more ruthless. If Earth is dominated by major alliances, then outer space is just chaos, and sometimes standing firm there is all about luck," he mused.
"Yes, if you don’t join a lord’s alliance, a tier four territory in outer space couldn’t survive on its own. A solo domain would need at least tier five to possibly survive," Lin Yucha observed, fully aware of Du You’s personality; he would never join others.
"No choice, looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer."
Du You sighed, never expecting Earth’s outer space to be . No wonder it was kept hidden—if the general public knew, the illusion of peace wouldn’t last. Who knows what chaos would ensue. The already frazzled alliances definitely wouldn’t allow it.
"The Starry Sky’s alliance also has influence, just not as much as on Earth. After all, the Starry Sky is too vast and fragmented, and the resources are poor; the alliance probably wouldn’t care much for it."
"Not necessarily, many powerful lords move towards outer space, even some from within the alliance. Perhaps even some within the alliance prefer maintaining this situation," Lin Yucha speculated, narrowing her eyes slightly at the thought.
"Let it be. As long as we are strong enough, outer space will be the perfect place for us to develop our territory. My territory is now tier three and can build three gateways, soon four. I wonder where would be the best place to build."
Du You had never planned on building his own city, but now it seemed like a topic worth exploring.
