Chapter 725: Extra 5: The whole family's honeymoon trip. _2
He really didn't know where Li Yi's planet was.
He wanted to visit Li Yi's planet but didn't know which race to transform into.
This was quite a problem.
After a long while, he silently sent a message to Li Yi.
Soon—
"Let's go."
After determining the destination, Chen Yi used a Race Transformation Coupon to change his race to the 'Red Star Race,' yes, that's the name of Li Yi's race. It was said that it wasn't originally called this.
But not long after Li Yi came into power, he forced a name change.
He said the original name of the race wasn't very nice-sounding.
Of course, what the name was didn't really matter; it wasn't important.
The moment he changed his race, he felt a strong suction force from beneath his feet, and in the next second, a familiar white light flashed before his eyes. When his vision returned, he found himself on Li Yi's turf, which was also known as Red Star.
This guy.
He wouldn't have named his place Red Star just because he saw Yi calling his place Blue Star, right?
Upon landing, Chen Yi noticed a slight change in his body; there was nothing strange, just a raised spot on his abdomen, which was said to be a unique physiological feature of the Red Star Race players.
Usually, when your stomach hurts, pressing on this raised spot would immediately alleviate the pain.
It is said that when in their mother's womb, the mother would secrete a large amount of pain-relieving substances to this raised area on the child's belly because the players of the Red Star Race were said to be very sensitive to pain, and even a slight discomfort could be unbearable for them.
Therefore, this feature evolved.
Whenever they felt pain, they just had to press on this raised spot, and it was as if they got an anesthetic injection; the pain would vanish instantly without numbing the body or losing consciousness.
And this thing could be reused.
After use, as one eats and replenishes energy, the anesthetic inside this raised area would slowly refill to full. It seems that under the theory of evolution, no matter what bizarre feature evolves, if you trace it back to its origin, you can always find a reasonable explanation.
A race that is especially sensitive to pain evolving body parts that can secrete their own painkillers seems reasonable, right?
Reasonable.
Although he knew about this, he had never seen it on Li Yi; after all, he could hardly lift up Li Yi's clothes to check if he had this feature. Now, unexpectedly, he was the first to find this feature on himself.
Chen Yi curiously touched the small raised spot on his belly.
Meanwhile, Jiaye, who had also come along, stood on her tiptoes, draped her arm over Chen Yi's shoulder, and with eyes brimming with excitement, bit her lip and said, "By transforming into a race, you can have the corresponding physical organs of that race?"
"Uh, Yi..."
"Don't you want to try being a Centaur? Or maybe a Cat Girl?"
"It's said that women of the Cat Race have eight headlights; that must be a very special experience, there's just too much to handle. If Sister Xu Yue and I add up, that would make sixteen headlights. "
"That would be a special experience indeed."
"What do you say, Yi? We rarely get out, so naturally, we should try something different, take some chances."
Jiaye looked up at Chen Yi with sparkling eyes.
Jiaye and Xu Yue were both spouting nonsense; sometimes Jiaye would call Xu Yue 'sister,' other times Xu Yue would call Jiaye 'sister,' and then they would call one another 'sister.' There was no consistency at all.
A complete mess.
It all seemed to be based on their mood.
"Sure."
Chen Yi spoke expressionlessly: "We should indeed try something different. Cat Girls and Centaurs are just too boring, why not give the Cockroach Race a try? We could experience what being a cockroach feels like."
"Wouldn't that be novel?"
"Aren't you curious?"
"Imagine me, almost two meters tall, crawling on you as a cockroach, doesn't just thinking about it excite you?"
"..."
"..."
As these words fell, Jiaye's previously cheerful face instantly turned pale, and after standing frozen in place for thirty seconds, she finally could not hold back any longer and began to vomit profusely.
...And so, not long after peace had returned.
On Blue Star, amidst the debris of what once was, efforts were underway to rebuild. The derelict buildings were being cleared, the once-forsaken farmlands were retaken by plough and seed, and cities that had fallen were systematically being dismantled and reconstructed.
Everyone was pitching in.
Only a few had snuck away in secret.
Among these few were Chen Yi, Jiaye, and the Empress of the White Phoenix Clan, Xu Yue.
...
"..."
Chen Yi, who had originally planned to visit Li Yi for a few days, suddenly became silent. It dawned on him that although he had searched for Li Yi many times, he had only ever gone to Awesome Starfield.
He really didn't know where Li Yi's planet was located.
Wanting to go to Li Yi's planet, he had no idea which race he should transform into.
This was indeed a bit problematic.
After a long pause, he quietly sent a message to Li Yi.
Soon—
"Let's go."
Once the destination was confirmed, Chen Yi used a Race Transformation Coupon to turn himself into a 'Red Star Race.' Yes, that was the name of Li Yi's race, which was apparently not the original name.
Not long after Li Yi gained significant power, he forcibly changed the name.
He said the old name didn't sound nice.
Of course, what the name was matters little; it's not of any real importance.
The moment his race changed, he felt a strong suction beneath his feet. In the next second, a familiar white light flashed before his eyes, and when his vision cleared once again, he was standing on Li Yi's turf—the Red Star.
This kid.
He wouldn't have named it Red Star just because he's called Blue Star, would he?
As he landed, Chen Yi noticed some slight changes to his body. Nothing too bizarre, just an additional protrusion on his abdomen, which was said to be a unique trait of the Red Star players.
Whenever you have a stomachache, just press this protrusion, and the pain would instantly subside.
It's said that when a Red Star child is in the mother's womb, she secretes large amounts of pain relieving substances into this protrusion in the child's belly, as Red Star players are supposedly very sensitive to pain. A minor ache might be unbearable for them.
Hence, this feature evolved.
Upon feeling pain, pressing down on this protrusion is like getting an anesthetic shot—the pain disappears in an instant, and it doesn't even numb the body or cause loss of consciousness.
And this feature is reusable.
After it's been used, it slowly refills to full capacity with energy from food and sustenance. According to evolution, no matter how strange a feature may seem, if you trace its origins back far enough, you can always find a reasonable explanation.
A race particularly sensitive to pain evolving an organ that secretes its own painkiller—that makes sense, right?
Reasonable.
While he knew about it, Chen Yi had never actually seen it on Li Yi, as he couldn't very well lift Li Yi's clothes to check for this feature. But now, the feature had unexpectedly manifested on his own body first.
Chen Yi, curious, touched the small protrusion on his abdomen.
Jiaye, who had also come along, stood on tiptoes, rested her arm on Chen Yi's shoulder, and said with lips quivering with excitement, "Transforming into a race gives you the corresponding body organs of that race?"
"Uh, Yi..."
"Wouldn't you like to try being a Centaur? Or a Cat Girl?"
"They say the women of the Cat Race have four sets of headlights. That must be quite the experience—you'd be way too busy. If you add Sister Xu Yue and me together, that's eight sets of headlights."
"That would definitely be a special experience."
"What do you think, Yi? We finally get out, we should definitely try something different, make the most of it."
Jiaye gazed up at Chen Yi with sparkling eyes.
Jiaye and Xu Yue were just blabbering nonsense. One moment Jiaye would call Xu Yue 'sister,' the next Xu Yue would call Jiaye 'sister,' and then they would both call each other 'sister,' without any clear pattern.
Completely haphazard.
Seemed they just went with whatever they felt like at the moment.
