Chapter 56 Fortune and misfortune are intertwined!
Inside the Black Dragon spaceship's control room.
As soon as they left Earth, Babata appeared on the screen in front of the control panel: "Zhou Ze, Luo Feng, the spaceship has left Earth..."
Babata glanced at Zhou Ze, then looked at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, this is your first time leaving Earth. Do you need to activate 100% outdoor simulation? Would you like to see what your home planet looks like with your own eyes?"
"100 simulated outdoor scenes?" Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's open it and take a look."
In a flash, everything in the surrounding control room disappeared, meaning that the gravity inside the spaceship was similar to that on Earth.
At that moment, Luo Feng felt as if he were standing in the starry sky.
"Seeing it with my own eyes is truly breathtaking," Luo Feng said slowly, staring at the azure Earth.
Zhou Ze nodded and smiled: "Even though I've already seen it, I'm still somewhat shocked."
The Black Dragon continued to accelerate, and the Earth gradually shrank.
Luo Feng couldn't help but say, "Teacher, Babata, this is my first time leaving Earth for another planet with life, and I can't seem to settle down..."
Zhou Ze said softly, "It's normal to have these feelings. Don't reject them, just accept them..."
Babata laughed and said, "Isn't this normal? It's like when someone from a small town goes to a big city for the first time, they're bound to have these feelings."
"Not to mention that we are leaving Earth this time and heading to Qiulong Star. For you, that is a hundred times more prosperous and powerful than the most prosperous capital of the Silver Blue Empire, a primitive civilization that controls eight star systems. You have never even been to the Silver Blue Empire, how could you not be nervous?"
"Isn't the teacher very nervous?" Zhou Ze asked with a smile.
Zhou Ze, referring to the direction of the spaceship's situation, said, "Why be nervous? I'm actually quite looking forward to it..."
"Luo Feng, no matter how difficult it is, is it more difficult than when you had a 1000 billion bounty on your head, your identity as a mentalist was exposed, and you were trapped in the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins and the Golden Horned Beast?"
"For me, the most difficult period was during the Great Rebirth. No matter how hard I tried, I remained at the intermediate warrior level and couldn't break through... I couldn't see any hope... I was constantly in agony..."
"But no matter how much it's agonizing, as long as you're alive, you still have to live each and every second, each day and night. Why make yourself suffer so much?"
Luo Feng seemed to be deep in thought, fell silent, then scratched the back of his head and said hesitantly, "Teacher, I actually understand all of this, but I just can't do it."
Zhou Ze calmly said, "It's right that you can't do it. You're still young. The future belongs to you..."
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "Speaking of which, many people never experience what you've gone through in your old age. Don't just focus on cultivation. Take some time each day to calm your mind and reflect on your life. While you don't need to examine yourself three times a day, you should still learn from your experiences. Gradually, your character will improve."
Babata suddenly jumped out and said, "Luo Feng, you should listen to what your teacher said. Your Earth's mental cultivation should have its own unique aspects."
Luo Feng was slightly taken aback and said, "Babata, you didn't say that before..."
"The past is the past, the present is the present! Even an AI like me knows we need to keep up with the times, and you're still asking this!" Babata said irritably.
"Look at your teacher, and Hong and Thor, all three of them have domains, but you don't. Doesn't that prove that your Earth's mental cultivation has something unique about it?"
Luo Feng sighed, "I've read many ancient books on self-cultivation before, and I understand them, but these things really can't be forced. Throughout history, you can't find many people who have achieved enlightenment in their twenties. Even Lao Tzu, Confucius, and Wang Yangming only attained enlightenment in their middle or old age!"
"What do you expect me to do?" Luo Feng spread his hands: "Teacher, and my eldest brother and second brother are dozens of generations older than me."
"Excuses, all excuses!" Babata said angrily. "I've recently read through all the ancient books of your China several times. Besides, Zhou Ze said that most people have never experienced anything as exciting as you have in your entire lives these past few years."
"You've been so focused on cultivation that you haven't taken the time each day to calm your mind, reflect, and summarize your experiences. All these years of hardship have been for nothing."
Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated: "Babata, you were the one who filled my cultivation time to the brim back then, and now look what's happened..."
Babata got angry and resorted to violence when he couldn't win an argument.
The two joked around for a while, then Babata suddenly disappeared and reappeared on the screen: "Twelve seconds left to reach the speed of light!"
"10!"
"9!"
……
"3...2...1!"
In the vast starry sky, a black spaceship that had become blurry suddenly disappeared.
……
"boom!"
Zhou Ze felt the spaceship vibrate slightly, and it only stabilized after about ten seconds, when it was completely dark around him.
"Space travel successful, we have entered the 'Dark Universe'," Babata shouted on the screen. "Close the exterior simulation."
"What is the Dark Universe?" Luo Feng asked.
Babata glared at him, clearly displeased: "I've already shown you all that basic stuff about the universe, and you don't even understand the dark universe!"
"It's only because I've been urging you to learn the universal language that I doubt you could even learn it."
He hates foreign languages the most. He wishes the whole Earth, or even the entire universe, spoke Chinese...
Luo Feng was somewhat embarrassed: "During that period, I was indeed quite focused on improving my skills."
Babata sneered, "You make a face as soon as I test your Common Language. How dare you say that? You're a planetary-level mentalist, you should have a photographic memory, yet you learn so slowly."
"I've told you before, if someone can't even speak a common language properly in the universe, they're a native, a native without human rights!"
Luo Feng was exasperated: "That common language is simply inhuman! It's much harder to learn than any language on Earth!"
Zhou Ze calmly looked at Babata and Zhou Ze. Even though Luo Feng almost perished together with the Starry Sky Beast after giving his all, his temperament had not improved much.
He knew exactly why!
Because Luo Feng has been there for him from high school until now, no matter what happened. The only difference from the original story is the addition of himself; the other trials he faced are not much different.
But it actually has a huge impact on one's character!
A man's true maturity may not come when he becomes an adult, gains independence, or starts a family; it may come when he realizes that he needs to bear everything alone...
"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined; no one can say for sure whether this is a blessing or a curse..." Zhou Ze sighed inwardly.
……
Babata chatted with Luo Feng for a while, then his consciousness disappeared and reappeared on the screen in front of the control panel.
"The Black Dragon spaceship's top speed is 1.5 times the speed of light. Considering energy conservation, 1.2 times the speed of light is just right, and we're currently traveling at 1.2 times the speed of light!"
"It is estimated that it will take about 10 days to reach Qiulong Star. Zhou Ze, Luo Feng, you can rest or cultivate during this time."
