Chapter 683: The Vast Singer Supercluster
Chapter 683: The Vast Singer Supercluster
Su Yu carefully explained the precautions to Zhong Feng and Xiaotian as they prepared for the mission. Before they knew it, the afternoon had arrived.
At two o'clock, a group of twelve players, led by Su Yu, boarded a special vehicle provided by the authorities and headed to Donna's residence.
Donna still looked as if she hadn't had enough sleep.
In the living room, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and waved at the twelve players from Earth with a lack of energy. "Alright, follow me."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and led the way to the basement.
Apart from Su Yu and Zhong Feng, the other players were meeting Donna for the first time. Her appearance was a major letdown.
In their minds, as a game inspector sent by the Singer civilization, Donna was supposed to be both mysterious and elegant, exuding the aura of a superior civilization with every move.
But that wasn't the case at all.
Donna was beautiful, with deep blue skin, a tall and slender figure, and a swaying tail. By Earth standards, she was a stunning alien beauty.
However, she was currently wearing a loose white nightgown, yawning and looking half-asleep, with her hair in a mess. Her image was severely tarnished, making her seem more like Cinderella than a celestial being.
Xiaotian looked incredulous.
She tugged at Su Yu's sleeve and asked, "Kexing, is she really the game inspector?"
The other players also turned their gazes toward Su Yu.
"Of course, no doubt about it," Su Yu smiled and ruffled Xiaotian's hair.
Then he addressed all the players, "Let's go to the basement. The teleportation device is set up there. Everyone, get ready for the teleportation."
"Understood!" The players responded solemnly, pushing Donna's image out of their minds and following Su Yu closely.
Even Zhong Feng felt a hint of nervousness, let alone the other players.
...
Hum—
In the basement, Donna activated the teleportation device, and silver-white ripples of energy spread throughout the room.
The twelve players were all tense.
They had already equipped their full gear, and their spatial rings, filled with various items and consumables, were tightly held in their palms.
The only exception was Xiaotian.
She wore a red shoulder bag given to her by Su Yu.
The two hundred [Spatial Cores] could be placed in a player's backpack but not in a spatial ring, so she had to carry it with her.
In their right hands, each player clutched a bottle of [Mental Stability Elixir].
These elixirs were sold to Su Yu by Donna for five credits each, and their function was to counteract the severe spatial oscillations during teleportation.
The first time Su Yu teleported to the Skrull planet, the intense spatial oscillations caused him to pass out for a long time. He was eventually awakened by the cat, Chenxing, who used her claws to shake him awake.
Such dizziness could easily give enemies an opportunity.
For example, if the teleportation location was in a Skrull settlement, the players might be killed by the surrounding third- or fourth-tier Skrulls.
Donna's [Mental Stability Elixir] could enhance the players' mental resilience, preventing them from passing out upon arrival and significantly increasing their chances of survival!
"Now, drink the elixirs!" When the teleportation device reached the right level, Donna, who had suddenly become alert, shouted to the twelve players.
The players, already on edge, immediately unscrewed the caps of their elixirs and drank them in one gulp.
The freezing potion felt like a gust of icy wind as it traveled from the players' mouths down their throats and into their stomachs, covering their entire digestive system with a chilling sensation that was hard to describe.
This "cold" feeling quickly rose and spread within seconds, enveloping their brains.
Buzz—
The teleportation device had already reached its maximum power.
With a bright silver glow, the twelve players vanished from the basement, transported to the distant planet Skrew.
---
“Phew! Done!”
After the players disappeared, Donna clapped her hands and turned to Su Yu with a playful smile. “Hehe, another 36 credits earned, how delightful!”
The Mental Stabilization Potion cost 2 credits at the Saint Silver Secret Academy's exchange counter, but Donna charged Su Yu 5 credits for each bottle.
She had already told Su Yu about this before, explaining that she was openly making a profit, and he could take it or leave it.
Now that Su Yu had bought 12 bottles and would likely buy more in the future, she was naturally very happy.
Looking at Donna's playful expression, Su Yu responded with a serious tone, “If I remember correctly, you said that 50% of your earnings on Blue Star have to be given to 'Sang' as personal income tax, right?
That means you only earned 18 credits.”
("Sang" is the super AI that governs the Saint Silver Federation.)
“Oh, right! I forgot about Sang, the most... conscientious AI in the Southwest Sector.”
Donna almost blurted out "vampire" but managed to correct herself halfway through.
“Phew—” Donna patted her broad chest, relieved.
Good thing she didn’t say “vampire,” or she’d be fined hundreds of credits, and she’d have wasted her efforts over the past few days.
However, Su Yu was intrigued by her choice of words.
He curiously asked, “'Southwest Sector'? What does that mean?”
Donna first glared at Su Yu fiercely, almost causing her to be fined!
But considering their pleasant collaboration, she decided to explain:
“Our Saint Silver System… which you humans on Blue Star call the 'Andromeda System'—is located in the Southwest Sector of the 'Singer Supercluster,' just like your Milky Way, it’s a fairly ordinary system.
Of course, our Saint Silver System is slightly larger than your Milky Way.
The Singer Civilization rules over the entire supercluster, which contains roughly 100,000 systems similar to the Milky Way.
These 100,000 systems together form the entire Singer Civilization.”
“100,000!” Su Yu was taken aback.
That number was mind-boggling!
To him, the Milky Way was already a colossal entity, containing about 100 billion stars like the Sun.
But the Singer Civilization was 100,000 times the size of the Milky Way!
He couldn’t even fathom the sheer power of the Singer Civilization.
Perhaps in their eyes, the Saint Silver Federation, which rules over two systems, wasn’t much of a big deal?
Su Yu felt his mind go blank, filled only with awe.
Donna, however, looked completely unfazed. As a part of the Singer Civilization, she believed it was better for the Singer Civilization to be as powerful as possible.
Moreover, the range of the Singer Supercluster was only 520 million light-years, while the observable universe was over 40 billion light-years in diameter. There were many civilizations like the Singer Civilization in the universe!
