Chapter 223: Entry
While Fang Lin was lamenting the temporary loss of his freedom, his other body was off speeding into the void.
A spaceship was currently speeding across the empty space. The roars of its engines could not be heard with the lack of air around them. Only the lights emitted by the ship can be seen from afar.
As for the people inside the ship, they are battling something different from a monster.
"Muuu....." Tang Li aimlessly floated behind Fang Yu. Her adorable face which should have held a smiling expression was now listless and pale.
"I'm sho bored... Sis, let'sh pway!" Tang Li nudged Fang Yu, who was currently meditating.
"Tang Li.... What did I say that you should do when you see people meditating?" Fang Yu said while pinching Tang Li's ruddy cheek.
"Muuu..... Don't dishturb them...." Tang Li's head drooped sadly as she got what her Sis wanted. She left her Sis, who went back to meditating.
Realizing her Sis was busy now, she flitted towards the other inhabitant in the ship, a girl wearing a spacesuit. Tang Li wondered why this girl still wears the suit inside the ship.
"Muuu... Meda, meda, let'sh pway!"
"How many times did I tell you its Andromeda?" Even though it sounded flat, one can still hear the slight exasperation on Andromeda's voice. "Besides, you can just sleep if you have nothing to do."
"Muuu.. Tang Li ish alwaysh shleeping here..... Sho boring!"
"Sigh." Andromeda shook her head wryly, realizing that her new companions were now experiencing one of the challenges that the spacefarers face, sadness and boredom.
Most of the things inside a spacefarer's spaceship were focused on travel and survival. Objects related to entertainment were rare in spaceships.
That can be said to be an extreme case for Andromeda. Due to what happened to her in her childhood, she already lost the drive for entertainment items. That meant that her ship had nothing for relieving boredom, since she does not get bored anymore.
But Fang Yu and Tang Li can still get bored, and they are now totally bored in the ship.
After all, flying in space for 6 straight months with nothing to do was really boring!
At first, Fang Yu and Tang Li were enthralled by the sceneries they saw outside the ship. But after 3 days of viewing, they also got tired of it.
Once they were tired of sightseeing, Fang Yu and Tang Li realized they have nothing else to do. Well, Fang Yu realized she could use this spare time to consolidate her insights and train her mana control.
As for Tang Li, she was the worst off here. Paired with a training Sis and an apathetic spacefarer, she had no decent person to talk at the moment.
Tears pooled at Tang Li's eyes as she stared at Andromeda.
"Ugh." Even Andromeda, who was good at controlling her emotions, was still affected by Tang Li. She averted her head sideways embarrassedly as she fiddled with the ship's controls.
The spaceship the trio were in was part of the inheritance that Andromeda obtained. That meant she was the only person who can control the ship. Even Tang Li and Fang Yu who were inside the ship could not do anything to tamper it.
That means Andromeda had no worries on her ship being hijacked by a teenage girl and a baby.
"Not that it can happen anyway." Andromed murmured to herself as she scanned the space 1 million kilometres around her for any sign of planets. She heard a ping, and she found one planet in her list.
She sighed in relief when she found that this planet can be considered to be 'safe' for Fang Yu and Tang Li, who were novice spacefarers.
The truth was that Andromeda could have already gone to their destination through warp travel that was way faster than their travel method right now. But she did not do it since she wanted Fang Yu and Tang Li to know some of the terrors of space travel.
She also detected many planets during their six-month voyage, but she did not land on any of this, for she wanted to bring Fang Yu and Tang Li to the lowest stage planet there is to ensure their safety for their first time.
She patted the head of the teary Tang Li as she called the training Fang Yu, indicating that she already found a suitable planet to stop by.
"Yay!" Tang Li and Fang Yu held hands as they skipped round and round the ship. They were both laughing, clearly jubilant that their boring days are now over.
"Well, we shall see how my transaction this time goes...."
-Stage 0 Planet
-Cultivation Index—0.8743—
-Planet Life Index —0.5327—
-Pollution Index—0.4296—
-Population—13,839,410,572
-Influence Level—Planetary—
The dashboard shown in front of Andromeda shows the basic stats of the planet.
The first line shows the Stage of the planet. The second line deals with the cultivation index.
The cultivation index was the stats of a planet that shows its progress towards the next stage. The one shown to Andromeda show the value 0.8743, which means there's only 0.1257 needed for this planet to be a First Stage Planet. The cultivation index depends on different factors, such as the current soul power of the planet and the amount of the prevalent mana and qi.
As for the planet life index, it shows the state of life in the planet. The closer the value was to 0, the more ideal the life system in the planet was. If the number was increasingly becoming farther from 0, the more hostile the living conditions on the planet will be.
The value 0.5327 shows that the life on this planet was close to the ideal one.
As for the pollution index, it was measured in relation to the planet life index. If the pollution index was higher than the Planet Life Index, the planet will feel the bad effects of pollution. If it was lower, the planet was considered to be relatively clean.
Population means the amount of people in the planet.
Influence level shows the extent and intensity of influence that a planet that can exert, whether it was good or bad. If the extent of influence covers only a planet, the Influence Level will be planetary.
If the scope was a galaxy, the influence level will be galactic, and so on and so forth. The planet detected by Andromeda has a planetary level of influence, the lowest value there is.
From what Andromeda can see with all of its stats, this planet that she detected was relatively harmless.
"Perfect starter planet for these two...." Andromeda bobbed the heads of Tang Li and Fang Yu as she made them wear life-support suits.
"...."
Tang Li looked adorable at her suit, which just made Andromeda more convinced to make Tang Li her spaceship mascot.
As for Fang Yu, the suit she wore hugged her body tightly, showing her perfect curves that can drive men and even women mesmerized.
Andromeda looked back to her body, which sadly was still at the stunted level of growth. She let out a snort as she slapped Fang Yu's thighs.
"Pa!"
"Hey! What is that for?" Fang Yu asked with a slight flush to her face. Tang Li, who saw this, giggled as she swooped in and started slapping Fang Yu's thighs with her small palms.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
Andromeda and Fang Yu ignored the naughty baby as Andromeda replied,
"I just want to see how slapping your shapely thighs feel.... Just a morbid curiosity."
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
"Ah ok." Fang Yu shook her head amusedly as she lifted Tang Li by her nape like a kitten. She held the struggling and flailing Tang Li in her grasp as she waited for Andromeda's signal.
Andromeda gave Fang Yu a nod as she left the spaceship through the hatch. Fang Yu followed with Tang Li in tow.
"Boom!"
Their suits let out a roar as the trio entered the atmosphere of the unassuming planet.
