Chapter 10: Fighting with the Cellphone

It’s time to say it or not.

If Su Xintang hadn't transmigrated, she really wouldn't have asked such a question.

From Shenzhen back to Hebei?
A few years ago, before AI was mature, Su Xintang probably wouldn't have gotten an answer even if she asked until her spittle dried up.

But it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

Doubao actually gave Suxintang the information she wanted.

[Returning from Shenzhen to "He Gu Tian" in a self-driving aircraft (this may be a fictional location or an incorrect name; "He Gu" is often associated with celestial bodies in reality, such as the three stars of He Gu in the constellation Niu...)]

“Yes, yes, yes! It’s the He Gu star of the Ox constellation!” Su Xintang quickly said upon seeing this.

At that moment, her face was full of surprise.

The mortal realm of Hegu is like a star.

The River Drum Heaven is located in the sea of ​​clouds above the stars. It is composed of suspended islands and floating rocks, and a great array generated by the Heavenly Dao separates the celestial realm from the mortal world.

She really just wanted to try and find out some information about Hegu, without having much hope.

But to my utter surprise, I actually got the answer.

Now that we know the location, there's no need to use the Pillow Magic on Meng Bai; we can just fly back ourselves!
In this way, Meng Bai wouldn't have to die, and he himself wouldn't have to be beheaded.

The best of both worlds.

Simply the best of both worlds!

So she quickly followed up by asking, "How far is He Gu Star from here?"

The term "Altair" usually refers to the three stars of Altair, including Altair I, Altair II, and Altair III. They are at different distances from Earth; Altair II is the famous Altair (Altair's nebula)...

The specific distances are as follows:

Aeolus is about 44.7 light-years away from Earth.

Aldebaran is about 16.7 light-years away from Earth.

Aldebaran is approximately 460.45 light-years from Earth.

"The River Drum has three stars?" Su Xintang asked in confusion, having never heard of the River Drum having three stars.

She then turned her attention to the most famous star, Altair, and pondered: Altair? Why is it called Altair?

Although she couldn't understand it, she still felt hopeful.

After all, he already knew the location of Hegu.

I'm a little confused about what this 16.7 light-years means.

Although she and Meng Bai exchanged language and writing during the Pillow Technique, it only allowed her to understand everyday content.

There are many technical terms that we can only read and write, but we can't understand their meaning.

So she asked in a way she could understand, "If I can fly five thousand miles a day, how long would it take me to reach the second star of the Milky Way?"

At a speed of "traveling 5,000 miles a day," it would theoretically take approximately 1.73 million years to reach Altair.

"?"

"!!"

"How many years???" She could hardly believe her eyes and ears!

1.73 million years?

Are the years you and I talking about the same year?
Suddenly, she remembered that when Meng Bai gave her the phone, he had said that Doubao sometimes made things up.

So she gritted her teeth and asked, "You! You... are you making this up?"

Obviously, Doubao wouldn't make things up for such a simple, deterministic calculation. A distance of 16.7 light-years, an average daily speed of 2500 kilometers, and a journey of 1.73 million years is quite reasonable.

But how could Su Xintang accept this?
I finally heard news from my hometown, but it turned out to be farther away than I had imagined.

How did I manage to get here from so far away?
wrong.

It's the spirit of the artifact that's deceiving itself.

She must have made up something to amuse herself while Meng Bai was away!

Thinking of this, Su Xintang actually made a sword gesture, and then the silver bracelet in the shape of a small sword on her hand straightened and transformed into a real small sword.

Then, she placed her phone on the table, manipulated the little sword to point at the bean bun on the phone, and threatened:

"Let me tell you, my sword doesn't discriminate. I'll ask you one more time: how long would it take me to reach the second star of the River Drum if I flew five thousand miles a day?"

[...approximately 1.73 million years ago]

Doubao's answer was still the same number.

Seeing this, Su Xintang asked, unwilling to give up, "What about the first star of the River Drum? How long will it take?"

[...approximately 4.63 million years ago]

"What about the three stars of the River Drum?"

[...approximately 47.7 billion years] "Thump~ thump~" Su Xintang staggered back two steps.

The small sword clattered to the ground.

She stood there, utterly dejected, feeling as if all the strength had been drained from her body.

suddenly,

A thought flashed through her mind.
He hurried forward and asked Doubao, "Where is Taiyin? How far is Taiyin from here?"

The perigee is approximately... the average distance is approximately 38.44 kilometers...

"Phew~~" Su Xintang breathed a sigh of relief. Heavenly Venerable above, I finally heard a familiar unit of distance. That "light-year" was simply too terrifying.

She pressed on, "If I can travel five thousand miles a day, how long would it take me to fly to Taiyin?"

[...approximately 154 days]

Su Xintang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the number.

The fatigue brought on by the intense mental pressure from the beginning of my journey has finally subsided with the release of that feeling.

Her body went limp, and she leaned against the wall and sat down on the ground.

One hundred and fifty-four days, less than half a year. Although it was a long journey and took a long time, it was nothing compared to the hundreds of millions of years that often took.

The Moon Star passes through each constellation every twenty-eight days, making it the only place where celestial spirits gather and disperse without distinction between inner and outer realms.

Even the souls of the dead gather and disperse in the Taiyin Underworld to be reborn in various constellations.

If I just prepare myself, slowly fly up to the Moon Star, and wait for the Moon Star to take me to the Ox Constellation, then I can go home, right?
Although such a long distance must be very dangerous, it's better than taking Meng Bai's life, right?

Thinking of this, Su Xintang finally asked the question that concerned her most: "Which deity is the main deity worshipped in Shenzhen? Are there any temples dedicated to spirits near me? And..."

"Have they recently slain any celestial beings from beyond the realm?"

Before she could get an answer to her question, she heard the door open.

So she hurriedly stood up from the ground, straightened her skirt, and stood straight, looking at the door.

Meng Bai came in carrying a takeout box and saw her standing at attention against the wall. He asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"nothing."

Meng Bai didn't ask any further questions, and placed the takeout box on the table to open it.

To be honest, food produced by modern industry, regardless of its healthiness, is undeniably delicious.

Although there are many spiritual herbs and fruits in the celestial realm, Su Xintang has no chance to enjoy them. Her usual diet is no different from that of ordinary people in ancient times.

Therefore, seeing braised chicken with various spices and seasonings now makes my mouth water.

Meng Bai noticed this, so he gestured for her to sit down and took apart the disposable chopsticks for her.

The two of them sat at the desk and ate bite by bite.

"How is it? Does it suit your taste?"

"Excellent." Su Xintang exclaimed sincerely. Her taste buds had been with her for so many years, but they had never blossomed like this before.

While eating, she asked again, "Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive. This is the kind of food that ordinary people like us eat. If we want to eat it, we can eat it every meal."

"Can ordinary people eat chicken every meal?"

"Ah."

"Many mortals in Hegu can't even eat meat a few times a year. We're all mortals, but your place is exceptionally prosperous," Su Xintang couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's not a matter of whether the area is rich or poor, but rather that the technology level of agriculture and animal husbandry is high." Meng Bai said, then had a flash of inspiration and decided to give Su Xintang a little科普 (popular science explanation).

It's okay if she doesn't want to learn how to make glass; what if she's interested in farming and animal husbandry techniques?
But just as he was about to speak, the phone he had given to Su Xintang suddenly rang.

Why is it ringing?

Meng Bai took it and explained, "These are nuisance calls. If you encounter them again, just hang up."

"Oh." Su Xintang nodded and continued eating her chicken.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Bai was about to put it back when he accidentally glanced at the AI ​​conversation history on it.

The first thing that catches the eye is the last question Su Xintang asked:
[Who is the main deity worshipped in Shenzhen? Are there any temples dedicated to these deities near me? Have they recently slain any celestial spirits from beyond the realm?]

'What a strange question!' Meng Bai was secretly amused, but the smile quickly froze on his face.

'Why would she care about this?' Meng Bai slowly turned his head toward Su Xintang, who was taking small bites of chicken.

'Is she afraid of the native gods of Earth?'

So, extraterrestrial spirits are killed when they encounter native deities?

Thinking of this, Meng Bai quickly shifted his gaze back to his phone and rapidly scrolled through Doubao's chat history.
