The ship passed through the Cosmic Gate, but instead of heading for the Authority headquarters, it flew past it and straight for the other side.

"Anyway...... Doesn't that old man live in headquarters?"

"He used to live in headquarters, and then after he retired, he felt that these people were too annoying, and he went to him every day to ask him about the influence of his thoughts, so he moved to the Pidom system. ”

"Didn't you say he didn't like to see people, why were you so sure you'd be able to meet him?"

"Hmm...... He has a good relationship with my parents, so he will take some care of the younger generation, right?"

"Oh, where do my aunts and uncles live? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"They...... It's all gone......"

"I'm sorry ......"

"No! it's okay! it's all in the past!" Bai Luomei smiled and changed the subject, "The Pidom system is in the most remote location of the most remote star sector under the Empire, so the distance may be a bit far, if you feel bored, you can sleep for a while!"

"Did he live so far away so that no one would bother him?"

"Yes! If he hadn't lived so far away, and I was too lazy to move, I would have taken you to him!

"Queue?

"Let me tell you, the Pidom system was originally a barren land, there was not even a decent civilization, and the natives on it were still in the gorilla stage, but because the old man settled there, a super prosperous planet was born!"

"Wouldn't his original purpose fail?"

"How could it be? The Empire had given him a small planet as a private domain, and those who visited him could only wait to be summoned on the other planet closest to that planet. He sees only one person a day, and he only answers one question! There are still millions of people left there waiting to see him!"

"Didn't anyone trespass on him in a hurry?"

"Of course there is, but those people have already turned into atomic-level cosmic dust!"

"Wow, that's an exaggeration, and how do we meet him?"

"I've already said hello to him, and he's curious about you, so just go over there!"

"Anyway...... Is this there? Didn't you say it's far away?"

"Nonsense! Why don't you understand any etiquette! How can you go empty-handed when you go to the elder's house? Don't I have to buy some souvenirs or something?"

Spring Dawn: ......

——————————————————

The planet that belongs to the old man in Chunxiao's imagination should be very large, at least the size of the earth. But when they flew to the vicinity to take a closer look, the planet was so small that it was beyond her imagination, like the little prince's planet, the kind that could carry a chair and watch the sunset.

There is no atmosphere on the planet's surface, and a crooked red brick tower rises over the potholed brown rock.

The tower was like a naughty child's random building block, leaning there completely in line with the mechanics.

As the ship approached the planet's surface, a looming pink-purple arc barrier opened a hole in them, allowing them to enter the strange place.

The two of them got off the spaceship, and Bai Luomei pushed open the door full of mysterious symbols as if she was going back to her home.

Entering the door, Chunxiao was a little surprised, the situation in this room looked completely different from the outside.

The entrance is a rotunda with many unfinished drawings hanging on the neat snow-white walls, and a very beautiful spiral staircase in the corner of the hall.

In the center of the hall was a large rectangular wooden dining table, and at the moment sat a lonely old man in white with gray hair.

There was a silver spoon on the sleek table of the table, and the old man was staring at the spoon intently.

Chunxiao: This old man is too pitiful, he has no food to eat like this, he is already hungry and stupid, right?

Bai Luomei cautiously approached him and called in a low voice: "Old man, old man?"

The old man shook his head and stood up, hugging Bai Luomei with a hearty smile, "Hahaha! Bad girl! I thought you had forgotten about me!"

Bai Luomei hurriedly picked up the bag of gifts, and grinned: "How come? Isn't it busy? Look at what I bought for you? Cat Star's fried rat strips, your favorite!"

The old man took the gift with satisfaction, leaned over to his nose and sniffed it, and said, "Well, you still have a little conscience!" After speaking, he beckoned to Chunxiao, "Little girl, don't stand at the door!"

Chunxiao had a very strange feeling, this old man gave her an inexplicable sense of intimacy, the first time she saw him, she had the feeling of seeing her long-lost relatives, which made her ...... I feel like I want to pounce...... Hold on to the old man...... The urge to cry.

Although she resisted this impulse for fear of scaring the old man, tears still fell involuntarily the moment the old man opened his mouth to call her.

Seeing her appearance, the old man and Bai Luomei didn't feel particularly surprised, after all, there were many people who could come here to see him, and they were more exaggerated than Chunxiao.

The old man took her by the hand, brought her to the table, pressed her on the chair he had just sat on, and said, "Don't cry, good boy!

Chunxiao: Old man, what's wrong with your child's swelling tone?

The old man pointed to the spoon on the table and said, "Look at this!

Chunxiao: I was wrong! You didn't treat me like a child! You were a fool!

So she shook her head decisively and said resolutely: "It's not fun!"

"Alas...... You have to learn to be patient...... You don't see it fun now...... You just keep staring at it...... You might think it's fun to watch it for two minutes...... If two minutes pass, it still doesn't feel fun...... Then watch four, eight, sixteen minutes...... Until you think it's fun......"

"Then why don't I watch something more fun?

"Alas...... You...... There's no Huigen......"

Chunxiao: Why did this go to Zen Buddhism again? Old man, your thinking changed too quickly, I really can't keep up!

"Curiosity, curiosity, you know, I invented so many things because of curiosity, and curiosity is about seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. For example, if you look at this spoon, you don't want to know who invented it, how did the person who invented it, how did the person who invented it, did it look like this in the beginning, or did it become like this after several improvements, what material is best for making a spoon, is there a tool more suitable for drinking soup than a spoon, if not, can you imagine and make one yourself?" The old man took the trouble to teach Chunxiao.

Chunxiao shook her head very sincerely, "I don't want to know!"

Old man: "......"
