Chapter 003: The Creepy Uncle

The spacecraft heading to the S 3 star region is large, elliptical in shape, approximately 1,000 meters long, and represents the highest standard of civilian spacecraft in the Star Luo Empire— the "Cosmic-Class" starship. The ship is divided into three main areas: the crew area, the living area, and the entertainment area. The crew area is designated for internal crew activities, and entry requires a specialized crew chip card; entry is prohibited for others. The living area is where passengers eat and sleep, with the quality of accommodations varying according to price. Naturally, someone like Fang Shi, a poor country dweller, would be assigned to the lowest-tier small room. The entertainment area is a place for passenger leisure and recreation, offering everything from commoner entertainment to noble entertainment, provided you have sufficient funds.

Fang Shi was momentarily taken aback, quickly patting Yan Xiaoshi's shoulder and reassuring her, "Xiaoshi, don't be afraid, your brother will protect you. No one can take you away. Tell your brother, where are the bad people?"

The journey from Huanglan Star to S 3 is expected to take approximately 15 days. Fang Shi initially thought it would be a tedious trip, but he soon found something of interest. Aside from sleeping and exercising, one of his favorite activities was sitting on a long bench not far from the swimming pool, quietly admiring the youthful and vibrant bodies. The graceful and elegant figures seemed to always attract attention, drawing him into wonderfully delightful fantasies.

The spaceship ascended slowly, and the K 3 mining planet gradually became smaller. Fang Shi took one last look at the planet that had given him life, yet he felt no sense of attachment. If possible, he hoped never to return to this planet, which was almost like a neglected book.

"How could that be? Uncle is just enjoying the scenery," Fang Shi replied with a serious expression.

Fang Shi slightly adjusted his thoughts and said: "Well, let me tell you, her name is Su Shier"

On the second day, he boarded the starship heading to the Central Star Zone, specifically to planet S 3. The Central Star Zone is primarily composed of five super planets: S 1 Star Luo, S 2 Dong Qi, S 3 Nan Zhou, S 4 Xi Ji, and S 5 Bei Zhi, which together form the heart of the entire Star Luo Empire. Planet S 3 Nan Zhou is precisely the final destination of Fang Shi, where the headquarters of Xuehua Company is located

Fang Shi smiled faintly and explained, "In short, I want to be the little man behind her"

The K 3 mining star does not have direct starships to the central star zone. Fang Shi can only first take a starship to the capital of the Western District, H 1 Huanglan Star, and then transfer to a starship heading to the central star zone

Fang Shi had explored almost every accessible area of the starship, and he couldn't help but admire the designer of the starship; it was simply perfect

Yes. Fang Shi took a light breath and said: "Brother, I am a ... ... "

Fang Shi smiled and said: "Because the name of the girl that my uncle likes also contains the character for 'poetry'."

"I’m afraid they are here to capture Xiao Shi." Yan Xiao Shi's large, dark eyes seemed on the verge of tears, presenting a pitiful appearance

Yu Le did not give Fang Shi a gift. Fang Shi was not the least bit concerned, which truly reflected the young master's genuine character. After three years of companionship, the two were friends, brothers, and even confidants.

The little man behind Sister Shi'er? Yan Xiaoshi clearly did not understand the true meaning of Fang Shi's words

Fang Shi shook his head and replied, "No, my dream is to become her mechanic, also known as a technician."

I am not afraid of bad people, and besides, I am not a child anymore The little girl pouted, seemingly a bit angry

Fang Shi let out a slight sigh of relief. Although this could be considered a public area, it did raise some suspicion of peeping for a grown man to be sitting here. However, since it was just a little kid, there was no need to worry about anything.

Fang Shi sat on the bench, half-closing his eyes to appreciate the enchanting scenery by the swimming pool, recalling the phrase often uttered by his young master, "You little repressed fox," which involuntarily brought a smile to his face

The residential area is not large, occupying only about one-fifth of the entire spaceship, barely qualifying as a small residential community. Outside the residential area is a medium-sized square, designated as a free activity zone. On the other side of the square is the entertainment area, which is even larger than the residential area, featuring various recreational activities such as a swimming pool, basketball court, and gym. Additionally, there is a three-story golden building that serves as a high-end entertainment area catering to the wealthy.

It is indeed a 'cosmic-level' starship, and with the sun-like luminous sphere above, the interior of this ship can be considered a paradise. However, the sunlight produced by technology cannot compare to the beauty of real sunlight.

Under the guidance of the service staff, Fang Shi successfully found his room, a small space of less than ten square meters. A single bed and a small table comprised its entirety; if there were any other items, they would likely not fit.

Suddenly, a tender and crisp voice rang in Fang Shi's ear

Oh, Yan Xiaoshi, your name is very pleasant to hear, especially the character 'shi'. Upon hearing the little girl's name, Fang Shi couldn't help but think of Su Shier; both of them share the common character 'shi'.

Without waiting for Fang Shi to respond, Xiao Shi turned the conversation and asked, "Brother, do you also wish to become a pilot like Sister Shi'er?"

Looking at that delicate and lovely little face, Fang Shi could not help but feel a sense of affection in his heart. Memories of his younger sister involuntarily surfaced in his mind. She should now be a ten-year-old girl. Ever since their mother took his sister away from K 3 Mine three years ago, he had not seen her again.

Yesterday's wine is the best farewell

Fang Shi was very satisfied with his small room. Although it was simple and cramped, a comfortable bed was enough for him. After tidying up a bit, he stepped out of the small room with curiosity. Although he had seen starships online before, experiencing them in person was a completely different feeling. At that moment, he felt like a rustic villager entering the city, looking left and right, seemingly unable to get enough of the sights.

Yan Xiaoshi asked with a hint of confusion: "Why is the character 'poem' special?"

Fang Shi furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this, suddenly realizing a very serious issue: the child Yan Xiaoshi actually referred to him as "uncle" and called Su Shier "sister." His dream was to marry Su Shier, and the terms "uncle" and "sister" were quite mismatched. Moreover, he didn't seem that old, did he?

Yan Xiaoshi extended her chubby little finger to point at three men who were striding towards her from a hundred meters away. The three wore sunglasses and black suits, giving off a somewhat mafia-like vibe.

Thus, he said with utmost seriousness: "I can tell you, but you must call me brother."

The little girl looked at Fang Shi intently, as if trying to determine whether he was a trustworthy person. After hesitating for more than ten seconds, she slowly said: "My name is Yan Xiaoshi"

Uncle, are you spying?

Yan Xiaoshi blinked her bright, dark eyes, as if deep in thought. After hesitating for a few moments, she finally called out, "Brother"

Little brat

Suddenly, Yan Xiaoshi looked panicked, her delicate little hand tugging at Fang Shi's clothing, as she exclaimed somewhat incoherently: "Brother... brother, there are bad... bad people"

Of course, it is not the scenery that is seen through the eyes, but rather through the heart. Fang Shi was earnestly persuading, and as the topic shifted, he asked with a hint of gentle smile: By the way, little friend, where are your family? It is not good for children to run around; aren't you afraid of encountering bad people?

Fang Shi stayed on Huang Lan Star for only one day

Fang Shi, however, smiled and said: "Xiao Shi, aren't you afraid of bad people?"

Fang Shi, who had already been lost in thought, seemed to be struck by lightning. His expression froze as he turned his head to the side, only to see a little girl, around five or six years old, sitting beside him without him noticing. The girl had short black hair that reached her ears, a delicate face that showed a hint of baby fat, and was dressed in a black little dress. She was holding a small brown stuffed bear in her arms, and her ink-black eyes were gazing at Fang Shi.

Perhaps I am truly just a reserved and flirtatious fox

The mechanic, puzzled, asked, "What does the technician mean by this?"

Fang Shi revealed a hint of helplessness; clearly just a child, yet he displayed an appearance of being fearless. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a slight headache. Nevertheless, he maintained a gentle smile on his face to appear more amiable, at least leaving the little girl with an image of "I am a good person." "Little friend, what is your name?"

Sister Shi'er! Little Shi also really likes Sister Shi'er. In the future, I want to become a female pilot like Sister Shi'er. No, I want to be an even more outstanding pilot than Sister Shi'er." Yan Xiaoshi said earnestly, puffing out her cheeks and clenching her delicate little fists.

Oh. Yan Xiaoshi played with her two little legs and curiously asked, "Uncle, what is that sister's name?"

The little girl showed a hint of confusion, looked around, and said: "What scenery is there?"

Fang Shi was slightly surprised and felt a sense of joy in his heart, thinking that it was quite a coincidence to encounter a small mecha enthusiast here; it seemed there was indeed some fate involved.

Five days later, the spacecraft arrived at the capital of the Western District, H 1. Huanglan Star, with a population of nearly seven billion, boasts countless cities. However, what captivated Fang Shi was not its prosperity, but the readily accessible sunlight, bright and vibrant, akin to a youthful girl full of vitality
