Chapter 2170 I don’t dare to go to the United States?

For a straight man like Ye Ye, he had no idea how to deal with this situation. His once bright mind seemed to have become dull at this moment, and the flash of inspiration he had before was completely useless in this situation.

Fortunately, however, Su Ziwu knew Ye Ye's personality and temper very well. When she saw Ye Ye's bewildered look, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then took a step forward without hesitation and gently hugged Ye Ye.

"Don't make us worry about you anymore. You are not alone."

Su Ziwu's voice was gentle and firm, like a warm spring breeze blowing into Ye Ye's heart.

Faced with Su Ziwu's sudden initiative, Ye Ye felt his body become a little stiff. He had never expected Su Ziwu to hug him at this time, which made him feel a little overwhelmed. However, deep in his heart, a warm current slowly rose, and his mood gradually calmed down.

The two of them stood quietly in the dark path, hugging each other, as if time had stopped at this moment. They didn't notice that in a shadow not far away, two pairs of eyes were silently staring at them.

...................

"cheers!"

With that shout, a small private room in Liu Zhuangshi's barbecue restaurant suddenly became lively. Everyone raised their glasses, clinking them together with a crisp sound, and then drank them all in one gulp. The cheers and laughter mixed together, as if to lift the roof off the room.

Since everyone was an adult, the cups were no longer filled with soft drinks, but rather ice-cold beer. With one sip, the refreshing coolness instantly spread throughout the body, leaving one feeling incredibly comfortable. After three rounds of drinks, a faint blush gradually appeared on everyone's faces, especially Lan Yunsheng, whose complexion was as red as the sunset glow, a rather exaggerated red.

Perhaps because he had experienced such a long interstellar journey and had finally arrived at Morning Star, a place that had once seemed unattainable to him, Lan Yunsheng was extremely excited. He kept clinking glasses with those around him and downing beer after beer, completely disregarding his own alcohol tolerance.

Seeing Lan Yunsheng losing control, Zhao Ling couldn't help but remind him

"Lan Yunsheng, if you can't drink it, just change the drink quickly. No one will laugh at you."

Although his voice was not loud, it was still clearly audible in the noisy environment.

However, Lan Yunsheng seemed unimpressed by Zhao Ling's kindness. He shook his wine glass, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, and said.

"Tsk! Who are you looking down on? I don't get drunk that easily!"

After saying that, he took another big gulp of beer and looked at Zhao Ling provocatively.

"By the way, after the freshman assessment, what should we do? Should we return to Blue Star, or continue to stay on Morning Star?"

Tong Chengcheng's sudden question made the lively atmosphere suddenly become somewhat solemn. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, as if no one had considered this question.

Tong Chengcheng's gaze fell directly on Ye Ye, clearly asking for his opinion. Ye Ye couldn't help but start slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He hadn't really thought about this question before. After all, before the freshman assessment, his primary goal was to pass it safely.

"Actually, I haven't thought about it yet."

After a moment of silence, Ye Ye slowly spoke.

"Initially, I did intend to return as soon as I found a way to get back to Blue Star. After all, my family must be very worried about my safety, and I wanted to reassure them as soon as possible."

He paused, then continued.

"However, the reward for first place in the freshman assessment is so tempting. I thought I'd get the reward first and then go back. That way I can bring some 'local specialties' home as a token of my appreciation."

At this point, Ye Ye smiled, seemingly somewhat helpless about his own thoughts. However, when he mentioned that his family had learned that he was safe, his tone became more relaxed.

"Since you have already told my family about my news, I don't have to rush back."

Ye Ye's words gave everyone a clearer understanding of his thoughts. His original goal was indeed to return to Blue Star as soon as possible to reunite with his family and friends. But now, the situation seemed to have changed, and he began to consider other possibilities.

However, Leon's sudden arrival not only brought back the news that Ye Ye was safe and sound, but even more surprisingly, he also brought Su Ziwu, Lan Yunsheng, Tong Chengcheng, Zhao Ling and Fu Yu to the Morning Star together!

This was undoubtedly a bombshell, sending shockwaves through Ye Ye's previously calm heart. After all, putting aside other considerations, the mere news that Liu Xinghua, Su Yan, and the others knew he was safe and sound was enough to put a huge weight off his heart.

As a result, Ye Ye's mood became much more relaxed, and his original eagerness to return to Blue Star gradually faded. After all, compared to the relatively backward Blue Star, Morning Star was undoubtedly a broader stage, full of infinite possibilities and opportunities.

Even more unexpected was that Argerich seemed to have been fooled by Leon and willingly stayed on Blue Star to act as a "bodyguard." This unexpected move completely relaxed Ye Ye's originally tense nerves.

"I couldn't agree more with you."

"We've come here through countless hardships, not just to take a quick tour. The disparity between Morning Star and Blue Star is obvious to all. So why rush back so quickly?"

"First, we must have a clear understanding of the overall situation in the universe. The most crucial issue is to understand why the Blue Planet is 'isolated'. Only by clarifying this can we find the entry point and direction for solving the problem."

"Secondly, we need to fully utilize all the resources we have access to. These resources include not only material resources, but also information, technology, and other areas. We must be adept at exploring and integrating these resources, transforming them into the driving force and support that will help Blue Star move forward."

"A good blacksmith must be strong himself; this is a very important principle. Although the people of Morning Star originally left Blue Star, judging by the current situation and the level of support they have provided to Blue Star, their attitude is indeed somewhat ambiguous. This requires us not to rely solely on Morning Star's help, but to rely on our own efforts and strength to obtain more resources and support."

Su Ziwu suddenly took over the conversation at this moment. Her speech was clear and logical, and her views were clear. Her views undoubtedly provided everyone with a new perspective and direction for thinking.

Su Ziwu's political and official thinking gradually took shape, and it was unique. This surprised Ye Ye, who was standing by, as if he had never expected Su Ziwu to have such a comprehensive way of thinking.

As if he had noticed Ye Ye's surprised look, Su Ziwu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at him quickly with the corner of his eyes, and then rolled his eyes slightly, as if to say.

Don't underestimate me. Do you think I'm just a pretty girl who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?

In fact, before meeting Ye Ye, Su Ziwu was a prominent figure among China's younger generation, a true leader. Not only did she come from a distinguished family, but she was also incredibly talented, a true child of destiny. At the time, the number of people seeking marriage proposals from the Su family stretched from the capital all the way to the Magic City.

However, since Ye Ye entered Su Ziwu's life, a series of unexpected events have occurred one after another, which are obviously beyond Su Ziwu's ability to deal with. Because of this, Su Ziwu seems to be somewhat powerless in front of Ye Ye and cannot provide him with much substantial help.

However, if we put these factors aside, Su Ziwu is definitely much better than Ye Ye in terms of the ability to use the official language.

"Su Ziwu is right. Now that we're here, we can't leave so easily. Besides..."

Tong Chengcheng took a sip of the beer in the glass and began to speak with a somewhat erratic look in his eyes. But at the end, Tong Chengcheng suddenly hesitated, as if he didn't know whether he should continue.

His voice gradually faded away, and finally disappeared completely, leaving only an awkward silence.

Lu Yue, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but speak.

"Brother Tong, if you have something to say, just say it! Don't leave it halfway! Isn't that just keeping people on suspense?"

Hearing Lu Yue's words, Tong Chengcheng showed a bitter smile on his face. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he said nothing.

Lu Yue and Liu Zhuangshi exchanged glances, each seeing confusion and bewilderment in the other's eyes. They didn't understand why Tong Chengcheng had suddenly become so hesitant; this wasn't like his usual style.

However, for Ye Ye and others who knew Tong Chengcheng's personality and abilities, their eyes gradually became weird.

Because they knew that before Tong Chengcheng became a beastmaster, his original profession was not a legitimate one.

hacker!

And for a hacker, what is the first thing to do when arriving in an unfamiliar place?

intelligence!

Could it be that.......

"Shouldn't you..."

Fu Yu's throat slid up and down, and she swallowed hard. Her face was full of disbelief. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, staring straight at Tong Chengcheng.

Tong Chengcheng felt Fu Yu's piercing gaze, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened. He secretly exchanged glances with the people around him, reading their concerns and warnings. Knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, Tong Chengcheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently.

"Don't try to get yourself killed! This isn't Blue Planet!"

Lan Yunsheng's heart tightened upon seeing this. He took a deep breath, his voice unconsciously rising an octave as he shouted with a hint of fear. His brows furrowed tightly, and his facial muscles twitched slightly, clearly shocked and worried by Tong Chengcheng's behavior.

Ye Ye and Su Ziwu's expressions also turned grim. They exchanged glances, each seeing the same worry in the other's eyes. This was Qimingxing, a place full of unknowns and dangers. Any small mistake could lead to serious consequences. Tong Chengcheng's actions undoubtedly crossed an invisible red line. If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, facing the strong reaction from the crowd, Lu Yue and Liu Zhuangshi seemed even more confused. They had no idea what anyone was talking about, but they felt that the atmosphere had suddenly become extremely tense, leaving them feeling a little lost.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm not a fool..."

Tong Chengcheng raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Venus's technological advancements far surpass those of Blue Star! Even I, after so many days of familiarization and learning, have only been able to conduct some crude and superficial intrusions. Furthermore, these intrusions I've conducted have only been on the periphery, and I haven't explored the core secrets. So, there's no need to worry about anything going wrong! Do you still not trust my technology?"

Tong Chengcheng's words made the nervous crowd feel a little relieved. However, just when everyone thought they could finally relax, Tong Chengcheng's next words were like a bombshell, making everyone's heart instantly rise to their throat.

"What I want to say is that we really don't dare to touch things from China easily. But, are we afraid of things from the United States? Give me a month, and I promise to bring you unexpected gains!"

Tong Chengcheng's voice revealed a determination and confidence, as if he was very sure of his plan.

Indeed, as a vast planet, Morning Star's size was beyond imagination. Having just arrived in Yancheng, everyone's understanding of the city was still very limited. Even relatively nearby areas like Ningfu District and Guangming District hadn't been fully explored, let alone the beautiful country, which was countless kilometers away. Therefore, subconsciously, they naturally put this distant country aside for the time being and did not pay much attention to it.

However, Tong Chengcheng's words were like a flash of lightning that pierced the night sky, waking everyone from their dreams. His words reminded everyone that, in this vast world, there existed a country called Beautiful. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, as if suddenly realizing something important they had forgotten.

Tong Chengcheng's face showed obvious interest, and her eyes wandered among the crowd, as if asking everyone's opinion on this topic. Seeing this, Ye Ye quickly waved his hand, signaling Tong Chengcheng not to continue to explore this issue in depth.

"Let's talk about this later..."

There was a hint of helplessness in Ye Ye's voice.

"Our top priority right now is to prepare for the freshman assessment, which is crucial to our future development."

Although his words were brief, they clearly expressed his position. The key point was that Tong Chengcheng was too bold, and Ye Ye didn't know what to say... He could only temporarily stop Tong Chengcheng's idea.
