Chapter 321: Doubly Difficult

Chapter 321 – Doubly Difficult

After flying out of high Earth orbit, the stimulating sensation everyone felt gradually dissipated.

At this time, the distant Earth also gradually sank in size. At a glance, though, the environment outside the spacecraft seemed to be still. Everyone felt as if they were looking at a painting.

In reality, though, the spacecraft was actually traveling twice the speed it had been two minutes ago.

Turning around and sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Chen Yu found that everyone had already calmed down from their excited states. He then faced the camera and explained, “The subsequent period should be a bit monotonous as we can only start FTL travel after passing through the asteroid belt. According to the feedback the spacecraft sent to my mind, this period should last around half an hour.

“Hence, everyone can take advantage of this half-hour gap to resolve any urgencies or relax your eyes. Today’s livestream will definitely last very long, so only by maintaining your energy can you enjoy the beauty we will see afterward.”

[The universe really is massive. Despite traveling at several hundred times the speed of sound, the spacecraft still looks so slow.]

[Back in the days, America took three days just to fly to the moon! Now, the host spent only half a minute flying past the moon. The spacecraft is already considerably fast.]

[Space travel sounds romantic in theory, but it is still as boring as an ocean voyage. It isn’t something ordinary people can endure.]

[Why don’t you chat with us since you have free time, host? Aren’t other livestreamers doing the same thing?]

[Where did the female assistant go?]

After directing the camera angle toward Earth, Chen Yu removed his left glove and disconnected the camera’s audio input using his watch. He then said to the interactive event participants, “Including myself, there are a total of 26 people aboard. However, considering that some participants came here as ‘couples,’ I’ll construct only 20 rooms. During the voyage, you can eat, clean up, conduct private matters, and rest in your rooms. Are there any problems?”

“No.”

Everyone shook their heads.

“If there are no problems, I’ll start constructing the rooms.”

After saying so, Chen Yu shut his eyes and focused his mind. Half a second later, he raised both hands and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

Snap!

The next instant, 21 metal rooms appeared out of thin air in the bright and wide “universe.”

Snap!

After another snapping sound, the rooms became transparent like the rest of the spacecraft.

“Done.” Lowering his hands, Chen Yu looked at the dumbfounded crowd and said with a steady voice, “Each of you can only see your own rooms. Others won’t be able to do so. This is because I have altered the formation of your vision through the spacecraft’s optical technology. Also, after you enter your respective rooms, the walls will be transparent to you, so you can freely admire the universe’s starry sky at will.

“There exists a layer of air pressure around each room that prevents anyone other than the designated occupants from entering. So, even if you can’t see other people’s rooms, you don’t have to worry about accidentally bumping into the rooms. The intensity of the air pressure wall also increases gradually, so you don’t have to worry about getting injured even if you do bump into it.

“Of course, if you invite another person into your room, the air pressure will disappear for that person. So, feel free to visit each other.”

Pausing slightly, Chen Yu pondered for a moment before realizing that he had already said everything he had to say. He then concluded, “If you have any questions, you can look for me at any time. Also, don’t quarrel or fight with each other. Alright, everyone’s dismissed. Stay safe and enjoy your interstellar journey.”

At Chen Yu’s words, the crowd cheered and dispersed with excitement. They then curiously approached their respective rooms.

Only Xing Biqi remained unresponsive and stood in place as idly stared at the distant Earth.

However, despite noticing this situation, Chen Yu did not express his thoughts. Instead, he silently made his way to his own room.

Hiss!

Chen Yu removed his protective suit’s helmet, the inert gas used to stabilize the pressure inside the suit leaking out. After casually tossing his helmet and gloves to the ground, he laid on the bed and started observing everyone’s lives.

Indeed.

In the eyes of the spacecraft’s “captain,” nothing could remain a secret aboard the spacecraft.

The so-called line-of-sight isolation was non-existent to him.

In fact, with the spacecraft’s technology, he could even see the internal organs of everyone on board…

For the sake of satisfying his curiosity, Chen Yu began “peeking” at everyone’s lives aboard the spacecraft.

The first target he spied on was the former richest man in China, Jack Ma.

Before Chen Yu had become Transdimensional’s UP, he had been most envious of this person.

Meanwhile, after Jack Ma entered his room together with his wife, he first took a few pictures excitedly. Afterward, the couple sat on the living room’s sofa and conversed with each other. And partway through their conversation, they suddenly began kissing each other…

It was evident that the couple planned to have a romantic moment out in the deep space of the universe.

“Tsk, tsk.”

Chen Yu decisively removed Jack Ma’s room from his view before resuming his “covert observation” on the other passengers.

Unfortunately, aside from Jack Ma and his wife, the other donation group members basically did the same thing after entering their respective rooms. They either inspected the equipment they brought or took notes for work.

However, the situation on the bullet comment group’s side was much more varied. The members of this group had allowed Chen Yu to witness exciting things.

After the girl with the ID Crooked Cart toured around her room, she ran into the bathroom expectantly and stripped off all her clothes. She then began bathing as she observed the starry sky outside with misted eyes. While washing herself, she was even dancing about in excitement.

“Is this her hobby?”

Scratching his nose, Chen Yu removed the girl’s room from his view with a blush on his face.

As for the other bullet comment group members, their reactions were in no way inferior to Crooked Cart.

Some sat cross-legged while pondering the meaning of life.

Some ran around the universe naked.

Some ran out of the room and sat themselves before the camera in an attempt to become an internet celebrity.

Some took out a gel pen and wrote down “I was here” behind the toilet…

As for the cross-dresser and the slightly chubby man, the two of them had actually entered the same room…

They then reluctantly began a doubly difficult form of interaction…

“Respect, respect.”

Hurriedly removing the two “legends” from his view, Chen Yu looked toward the last person on the spacecraft—Xing Biqi.

Currently, Xing Biqi sat inside her room, doing nothing. She remained lying on her bed in a daze. Only after a while did she pull out her phone to take some photographs.

Up, down, left, right, front, and back.

She took photos of the starry sky above her head and under her feet, the decorations of the room, the layout of the bedroom, the books in the study… She left no corner unphotographed.

After taking photographs for 15 minutes straight and noticing that only half of her phone’s battery remained, she reluctantly turned off her phone to conserve energy.

“Ugh.”

Sighing, Xing Biqi sat on the bed and fell into a daze once more. A moment later, though, as if she had remembered something, she ran up to the nearby dressing table’s mirror and cleaned up her appearance. She then picked up a phone and initiated a video chat with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu: “…”

“Huh?” The girl frowned. “Oh, right. There’s no internet…”

“Ah… What a pity…”

Sprawling herself onto the bed once more, the girl looked at the starry sky above her and felt a wave of exhaustion hit her.

After a long time had passed, she opened the bag she carried with her and inspected its contents.

One bottle of painkillers.

Two packs of tissues.

One towel.

One pair of pink shorts.

And…

One packet of daily necessity produced by “Durex”…

Her face turning red, Xing Biqi raised her arm and gently squeezed the small circular object inside the packet. With misted eyes, she muttered, “What a pity. I even brought painkillers with me. I won’t get another rare opportunity like this ever again…”

Chen Yu: “?”
