Chapter 800 - 499: Feast, Xiaohong
During his tour of the Ringworld, Wang Zhifan spent a little over an hour. During this time, the envoy of the Hess Civilization piloted a UFO at superluminal speed to take him through the entire ring-shaped world. At certain key locations, like the sectional capital of the Ringworld, they would stop briefly for detailed introductions.
In the end, he was taken to the boundless space away from the Ringworld, where he saw a planet-sized super battleship from the Hess Civilization, and a gigantic man-made black hole and white hole conjugate structure, which greatly broadened his knowledge.
Overall, he learned that the Hess Civilization is an extremely developed advanced civilization, at least one level higher in technology compared to the Urban Planet World. If he were to bring a standard military fleet from this side to the Urban Planet World, he might soon be able to unify a large Star Realm by force.
However, this does not mean that the Urban Planet World is completely inferior to the Hess Civilization World. For Wang Zhifan, the Urban Planet World remains important, even more so than the current Hess Civilization World.
The reasons are mainly twofold.
First, his status in the Urban Planet World is higher and more stable. Although as the planet leader he cannot dictate everything, he can always mobilize a large amount of resources for personal use or launch major plans, as long as he does not act recklessly and lose his position as planet leader, he can continuously gain benefits.
Conversely, in the Hess Civilization, he is merely a foreign envoy. Although highly respected and valued by the Hess race, theoretically, he can leverage their strength for major events, but unless he plans on one-off transactions, he must think twice before acting, and strive to maintain good relations with the Hess Civilization, without the ease he has as a planet leader.
Secondly, the difference between the Hess Civilization and Wang Zhifan’s carbon-based human civilization is too significant.
They belong to the non-human shaped silicon-based civilization type, with completely different requirements from humans in every aspect.
For instance, their lifespan is a thousand times longer than humans, they do not need food, and can withstand intense red dwarf star radiation, which has led to technological advancements that differ entirely from human paths.
In contrast, the Urban Planet World has little difference from the Earth Star, the primary race is nearly a high-tech version of humans.
Wang Zhifan’s necessities, such as ships and mechas he can operate, can directly be purchased and used on the Urban Planet, without any need for custom modifications, making it extremely convenient.
Therefore, even if it’s confirmed that the Hess Civilization is more advanced than the humans of the Urban Planet, Wang Zhifan cannot abandon the Urban Planet side. He plans to treat the Hess Civilization as a trump card used in special circumstances, while the Urban Planet serves as the supplier of regular technological goods.
After touring the immensely large ring-shaped world, Wang Zhifan left behind a few non-technological items as gifts to the Hess Civilization, then bid farewell and proceeded to his next destination.
His second visit was to a world he personally liked very much, a nature paradise known as Gaia Star.
When he appeared on the Huanyu SIII-class Guard Ship, he saw Yi Lin and Yali busily working in the cockpit while eating.
The two hardworking maids, with one hand, gnawed on an unknown sea fish, while the other hand packed biological samples captured by drones, making it convenient for him to take them away after arriving.
"Yi Lin, Yali, there’s no need to work so hard! Rest when it’s time to rest!"
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan stepped forward to stop them from continuing to work, allowing them to relax and eat. He personally docked the ship at a nearby island.
The two enchantress maids quickly stated they did not need rest, saying they are magical creatures, and this amount of labor is just relaxation for them.
"Master, we are doing this to improve work efficiency and complete the exploration tasks sooner."
Yi Lin, with skin as white as snow, said.
"Master, the warehouse is almost full with the samples we collected; it’s time to consider switching to a larger warehouse."
Yali, with wheat-colored skin, reminded him that the internal storage space of the guard ship is getting somewhat insufficient.
"Yi Lin, your exploration tasks are long-term, there’s no need to rush."
Wang Zhifan first advised Yi Lin not to be overly hasty and then addressed Yali’s problem:
"Yali, there’s no need to find a larger warehouse for the time being. Starting today, you and Yi Lin will have a two-day holiday, return to the previous villa to rest for two days."
He made this decision on the spot, feeling he had somewhat neglected the feelings of the two maids, treating them too much like tools, and decided they should have some free time for rest.
As his words concluded, the two maids immediately showed a slight pause, then simultaneously revealed a few expressions of joy on their faces.
"Returning to rest means we can watch various food programs on TV again and try cooking for the master?"
Yali first thought of this aspect, evident that she loved watching TV to learn cooking while at the previous villa.
"Besides, the practice task the master assigned earlier, we can continue learning from the Magic Manual during rest."
Yi Lin remembered every task Wang Zhifan assigned, even those temporarily halted projects.
"Hehe, as you wish, but I’m giving you a holiday primarily to ensure you rest well, don’t make yourselves even more tired."
Wang Zhifan couldn’t help but shake his head and smile upon hearing this.
Then, he recalled all the drones sent out for exploration at the console, and together with Yi Lin and Yali, they packed all the samples collected, selectively transferring them into his Space Ring along with those in the warehouse.
