In the darkness of the night, a gatherer split from the rhizome, but it did nothing, just stood still on the large, ground-like rhizome, staring upwards into the night.

Without the pollution of the fire of civilization, the sky at night is extraordinarily bright, and the stars cover the entire sky, which is a beautiful beauty that is difficult to see in the big cities on earth.

[Hogu, what are you looking at?] 】

Most of the gatherers were arranged by Hogu to hide in the shelter built by Twilight, and this gatherer simply housed Hogu's organic organisms.

"Look at the stars."

【…… I remember that the collectors didn't have great vision, right? Wouldn't it be better to observe celestial bodies using other organisms? 】

The observer of the gatherer is not strong, after all, in the original intention of manufacturing, the positioning is only 'labor', and the strength is only endurance.

If you want to observe the movement of celestial bodies, you can use organisms that specialize in receiving electromagnetic waves, and using collectors to observe them is extremely inefficient.

So Twilight feels weird about this.

"I'm not here to get information, I'm just trying to see more."

The starry gaze of the gatherers of Hogu's lodge revealed a hint of unclear color.

"If you don't look at it now, you won't see it later."

【？？？ 】

[What's going on?] 】

[The aliens should not have discovered our plans yet.] 】

"No, don't be nervous, it's not the aliens, I'm talking about something else."

"Speaking of aliens, we're going to have a fight with their fleet in a few days."

As soon as Huo Gu mentioned this, he felt a strange fluctuation in Twilight's thoughts.

"Twilight, are you nervous?"

This strange fluctuating emotion, Huo Gu interprets it this way.

[This...... In Hogu's words, it's always a little unsteady. 】

Fear of failure, don't want to fail - that's what Twilight thinks.

It was not incomprehensible that this was the first time that it had been the leader of the plan, and it had either been alone or cooperated before, and it was the first time in his life that it had been pushed to the center as the leader.

"Accidents are more likely to occur if you are not in good shape."

"Don't be burdened, if something happens, I'll help you remedy it."

[yes, I see. 】

After learning Huogu's information, although it still had an emotional impact, it was much calmer than before, and the analogy was equivalent to the difference between a strong wind and a wave and an ordinary tide.

Twilight remembered the purpose of her coming to Hogu.

[By the way, Huogu, do you have that kind of ...... Uh, distant targets? 】

[No, no, no, it doesn't seem to be called that......]

[How to say it......]

Twilight's expression is very difficult, although there is a life field that can ignore communication barriers, but if the meaning expressed is ambiguous at the beginning, then even the life field will seem very weak.

Hogu summed up the fragmentary information expressed through Twilight, and asked tentatively.

"You mean to say 'ambitious'?"

[Yes, that's it.] 】

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"

[Si got a lot of knowledge and information from the aliens before, and when I was helping to sort it out, I saw some records of events from the aliens. 】

Twilight's message successfully piqued Hogu's interest.

"Event logging? Let's talk about it. ”

[In the early days of the development of alien civilization, there was a certain kind of large creature that could far crush the alien individual, they could go up to the sky and enter the underground sea, and their mouths could use a variety of chemical attacks, and they liked to captivate the female individuals with the highest status in the alien civilization and imprison them in their lair. 】

"For food?"

【…… It doesn't seem to be. 】

[In short, after the alien colony was attacked by this creature, the female alien spouse began to embark on a journey to rescue the captive female, experiencing various encounters, and the strength would be enhanced by the interaction of experience and various factors, and finally defeat or kill the large creature, and rescue the imprisoned female......]

【…… After his return, he became the highest person in the power and status of civilization. 】

Why do I always think this alien's 'event log' is so familiar? - Hogu felt a little baffled, but it still thought about it.

"So what does this have to do with 'big ambitions'?"

Huo Gu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think that this 'ambition' had anything to do with it.

[Don't you think that it is a great thing for that male alien to dare to challenge an enemy who is far from his own strength? He knew that he couldn't win, but he still chose to challenge it, because he set himself that goal that was almost impossible to cross. 】

Twilight was a little emotional when it was described, as if the record of the event had made it feel excited.

However, Hogu was indifferent to it.

"That's 'heroic' plus 'opportunity', this is still a nice name, and the ugly point is 'impulsive' plus 'luck', and the final result belongs to 'chance', which is a matter of probability, and has nothing to do with 'inevitable'."

"And I guess it doesn't seem to have anything to do with 'big ambitions', right?"

Hogu still didn't understand why Twilight thought of 'big ambition' because of that - because of the different thinking patterns, so the understanding was different?

Probably because the radio waves didn't match, Twilight gave up the explanation and forcibly reversed the topic to the previous question.

[So, what are your lofty ambitions, Hogu? 】

[You must be so good, right? Tell me. 】

Twilight was looking forward to it, Huo Gu could feel its emotions, it seemed to have been sure that Huo Gu had such a thing, and at first it was not whether Huo Gu had it, but what Huo Gu's 'lofty ambition' was.

It was difficult to refuse, and Huo Gu couldn't refuse, so it thought about it and answered.

"Well, I actually have big ambitions."

"That's — live forever."

[Just ...... This one? 】

If the feeling of twilight is described vividly, it is probably equivalent to a basin of cold water suddenly extinguishing the flames.

"Well, that's it, the longer I live, the more scenery I can see, maybe I can touch these in person in the future, instead of simply looking at it like now, I can't bear to give up this kind of opportunity."

Hogu acted as a matter of course, and that was what it had been in the first place, and it had always been.

[But this is too ......]

"Small?"

[Isn't it?] 】

As the gatherer of Huogu's lodge shook his head slightly, and the micro-movements of human thoughts acted on this organism.

"You think that you don't see enough things."

Hogu refocused his attention on the starry sky above his head, and compared to the vast expanse of the night sky, the gatherers under the canopy of stars were as small as dust.

"One day you'll find that you just want to live......"

“…… It's that hard, too. ”
