After a brief moment of contemplation, Sheng Qiangwei finally managed to squeeze the words out in a meek voice, slightly louder than before but still somewhat timid.

Luckily, Feng Yi could just make out what she was saying and responded, "There's no specific type I like. It's enough if she's easy on the eyes."

Sheng Qiangwei whimpered and unexpectedly blurted out, "Then do I, I..."

"Come on, you silly girl. Let the cool breeze clear your muddled mind," Feng Yi interrupted her with a chuckle, shaking his head slightly. He then promptly jumped down to the rooftop of a nearby building, allowing the howling wind to sweep past him. An unusual emotion welled up in his heart...

They say everyone has a fondness for beauty. Feng Yi was no saint, and he was certainly no exception. However, as future battleground warriors, the road before them was filled with endless hardship and high risks. How could they possibly entertain notions of love? He remembered when he first met this proud girl - she looked nothing like the way she appeared right now.

"I didn't even say anything, but you seemed so desperate to make it more than it was, dum...dum...dumb. But," Sheng Qiangwei gave a slight chuckle, "I still have to say thanks to you, you know."

Catching sight of her unexpected smile, even Feng Yi was taken aback. Since when did Sheng Qiangwei start to be so forthright? Clearing his throat, Feng Yi rapidly replied, "Ahem, we're friends, there's no need for such courtesies. It's late. Let me take you home."

"No, please stay with me for a while longer," Sheng Qiangwei softly requested. At that moment, she wanted to spend more time gazing at the twinkling stars. It had been a while since she had felt such tranquility and relaxation. This was different from family affection or friendship, like the one she had with Emily. It was an inexplicable feeling of excitement...

Patting the bench next to her, Sheng Qiangwei signaled for Feng Yi to sit with her and gaze at the stars.

Feng Yi shook his head, chuckling resignedly, unable to resist her romanticism.

"Let's see if you know this," Sheng Qiangwei pointed to the North Star, "Do you know how far it is from us?"

"92 light-years away," he answered.

"Impressive. And do you know the name of that dim star over there?"

"That's the sun. It's 29 light-years from Alpha. It's home to humanity, how could I not know it?" Feng Yi replied, somewhat exasperated.

Despite his response, Sheng Qiangwei persisted in quizzing him with various astronomy questions. She found to her surprise that Feng Yi was an expert on the subject. From the self-escaping pulsar star of the galaxy, to the formation of gaseous planets, the role of dark matter, the concept of parallel universes, and even black holes, Feng Yi knew it all.

Indeed, modern science has redefined black holes so that even a .99 light-speed military shuttle cannot escape a black hole's gravitational pull. Yet, through incredibly precise calculations, one could theoretically harness the centripetal force of a black hole's rotation to increase a shuttle's kinetic energy and thus escape the gravitational limits, allowing one to approach the original point.

The galaxy is full of higher-dimensional spaces. The real answer to this had been found about a hundred years ago when a spaceship accidentally fell into a four-dimensional space. The sights that the crew observed were ineffable and beyond any mortal description.

Additionally, science has also revised its positioning of dimensions. In the age of primordial cosmic civilization, humans have categorized time as the highest dimension. The old talk of one-dimensional lines, two-dimensional planes, and everything beyond three dimensions being related to time is now seen as nothing more than grand illusions created by early scientists. Nowadays, it's considered a joke.

Time is omnipresent and irreversible. Even a high-density black hole that can drag on for an eternity will eventually be extinguished in the river of time. The fundamentals of universal physics align with the general theory of relativity, yet they also transcend its rules.

As for where the distortion of space begins and ends in a black hole, it is believed to explode in another part of space, forming a new generation of a multiverse in a cycle of creation and destruction. Perhaps, in this endless cycle, only a god could solve all the mysteries.

It was already quite late when an enthusiastic Sheng Qiangwei, at some point, comfortably leaned against Feng Yi's shoulder and drifted off to sleep...

That night was dreamless. When she woke up around noon, she found herself in the middle of a soft king-sized bed in a hotel room. That guy had left silently... Recalling the words she had said while drunk the previous night, Sheng Qiangwei wished she could hide in a crack in the ground! Oh god, what had she said? Despite her embarrassment, a joy that she couldn't quite place welled up in her heart, creating a pleasant feeling.

As for Feng Yi, he didn't have the habit of sleeping during the day. Night and day shouldn't be reversed - it wasn't good for training. By the time he left the hotel, it was already dusk. Taking advantage of his weekend, he quickly went to the machine repair shop to finish his work, thinking of getting some foundational training in the gravity room afterward. Whenever he got some free time, he planned to log into Star Wars and play a few competitive rounds.

Having busied himself all afternoon, he finally made it to the Battle Bar. He noticed that the topic of the Revenge Shadow Rider was everywhere. No doubt Jiu Ling must be annoyed by now?

During weekends, the Battle Bar was always packed. Feng Yi had to wait quite a while for a vacant machine, as it was so crowded. He wasn't daring enough to log into his Revenge Shadow Rider account in such public circumstances. Thankfully, with Eggy's assistance, he was able to rebuild a user account with a new ID - an unprecedented move in Star Wars, where every player's account is completely independent.

Once he found a machine, suitably equipped with a battle helmet, Feng Yi spent a relaxing afternoon gaming. Only when it started getting dark did he give up his machine to a guy who had been waiting for more than two hours.

"Bro, thank you. This machine is my lucky number," the man was nearly in tears.

When Feng Yi looked at the machine number — it was 44. Wow, this guy was truly unique.

On his way home, Sir Feng was in high spirits. The only hiccup was the little green dinosaur, Eggy, who couldn't stop talking, "Boss, you should have made your move on that woman when she gave you the chance. You're not even as good as a beast."

"Shut up."

"Ah! You're wasting your youth. If I knew how virtuous you were, I wouldn't have descended to this earth. It's pitiful, really pitiful."

Fed up with Eggy's nonsense, Feng Yi reached out to grab him...

"Wait, wait! Master - I mean, Brother Feng - please don't! Gentlemen use words, not fists. What grudge do we have against each other that you would want to do me harm?" Eggy protested, but before he could finish, Feng Yi tossed him into the Space Crystal. At last, the world was peaceful.
