Chapter 336: Other Dimension Inn

While the technical experts were reconstructing the core system based on Yu Sheng's actual needs, a series of modification works on this spaceship had also officially begun.

Yu Sheng, accompanied by Hu Li, Erin, and Luna, walked through corridors with luxurious decorations and cabins filled with religious symbols.

In the D1 and D2 connecting passages leading to the core area, engineers from the Special Services Bureau were clearing religious reliefs from the walls; before the large gate between the residential and medical zones, two massive sculptures symbolizing the sages of the Hidden Order were being dismantled; in a large cabin used as an assembly and prayer hall, workers had removed flags and drapes bearing the giant double-ring emblem from the walls and ceiling, and were now cleaning the magnificent murals praising the various miracles and great deeds of the "Supreme Saint"...

These removed items would be packed and sent to the Special Services Bureau for research into the "mental state" of the Holy Hidden Order and to aid in assessing their future actions—for experts in this field, even a piece of trash or a scrap of cloth removed from the spaceship could potentially yield critical information.

"Honestly, after taking all these things down, it looks completely bare everywhere," Erin said, sitting on Yu Sheng's shoulder and looking around with some emotion, "especially after scraping off those murals and reliefs, it looks like our home was raided by adventurers."

"We'll replace them with some normal-style decorations later," Yu Sheng explained casually, "like landscape paintings or something."

Erin hugged Yu Sheng's head, her eyes rolling as a bunch of ideas popped up: "Hey! Landscape paintings are so boring. How about painting a bunch of oil portraits for you to hang up? The kind where you're in a uniform, riding a horse and holding a sword, looking like you're about to die together with someone, or the kind where you're sitting on a tank... We could borrow one from Dorothy! Or better yet, have the Dragon Slayer summon a dragon, you stand on its head, and we paint a portrait of you to hang on the bridge..."

Yu Sheng imagined the scene the other party mentioned, and goosebumps immediately rose all over him; he flatly refused.

"You don't want oil paintings? What about reliefs? How about getting two large head reliefs for the main gate of the control hall, in the style of having a laurel wreath on your head..."

Yu Sheng completely couldn't understand why this little doll was so determined to print his headshot all over the ship; from the very beginning, when this guy and Hu Li conspired to have his big head photo orbit the spaceship in space, he hadn't figured it out...

"Instead of wasting your time giving chaotic decoration ideas, why not help me think of a new name for this ship," seeing Erin immediately bring up the absurd idea of carving a marble bust of him to hang on the bow as a ram, Yu Sheng forcibly changed the subject, "Bai Liqing is handling the license for this ship right now and asked me for a registered name."

So the moment before, Erin, who had been chattering about "whether Yu Sheng's bust on the bow as a ram needs a pointed head," was instantly attracted by this new topic.

"Naming this ship?!" The little doll's eyes lit up with joy, "That's great! It must be called the Erin..."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Hu Li beside her immediately rolled her eyes: "There's no way that name would work; it should be the Yu Sheng!"

"Then how about just calling it the Yu Sheng Erin Hu Li..." Erin mumbled, then glanced at Luna walking silently beside her and added, "Oh, we have to add a 'Type C'—by the way, how many characters can be registered for a ship name on the license?"

Yu Sheng immediately felt that asking Erin to help discuss this was a mistake; his mouth twitched: "Let's not talk about the number of characters for now, do you think 'Yu Sheng Erin Hu Li Type C' sounds like a name a human could come up with? And how many times have I told you, stop calling her 'Type C' all the time; Luna has a name."

"Type C herself has no objections," Erin said with righteous confidence, even turning her head to look at Luna, "Right, Type C?"

Luna thought for a while and actually nodded obediently: "Mm, right."

Yu Sheng decided not to consult the opinions of the gang members around him anymore—these three combined not only couldn't make up a primary school diploma, they might not even make up a normal person's brain; he might as well make a unilateral decision himself, relying on his own normal and sound human common sense and healthy, positive worldview and aesthetics to think of a good name.

So he lowered his head, thought hard for a long time, and broke the silence: "Let's call it the 'Inn'."

Erin blinked, then suddenly clapped her hands: "You thought hard for so long just to come up with that name?!"

"Sounds like a small hotel opened next to a train station," Hu Li mumbled too, not knowing where she had learned this "knowledge" from, "the eighty-yuan-a-day kind."

Yu Sheng was instantly choked up, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Luna beside him nod again: "Mm, right."

... She obviously didn't know what Hu Li meant; she just agreed with whatever anyone said.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng felt a bit helpless, so he thought carefully again for a moment and came up with a new name: "Then let's call it the Otherworld Inn—that fully reflects our scope of business."

"Sounds rather unlucky, like cliff-edge bungee jumping without a rope, rushing to one's death," Erin pondered for a moment, "as if getting on your ship is the same as boarding a pirate ship heading for the Otherworld."

Luna beside her thought again and nodded once more: "Mm, right."

Yu Sheng: "..."

"Then let's just call it the Other Dimension Inn," after thinking hard for another long while and truly unable to come up with another name, he could only shrug, "It has a bit of a mystical atmosphere, and it carries the organization's name, so there's nothing unlucky about that at all."

Hu Li and Erin both stroked their chins and thought carefully, while Luna beside them nodded again: "Mm, right."

She really agreed with whatever anyone said!

Anyway, no matter what, the spaceship Yu Sheng had obtained thus had its new name decided—

The Other Dimension Inn.

Yu Sheng himself was quite satisfied with this name.

And just as he was wondering whether he should have a good meal tonight to celebrate the finalization of the spaceship's new name, and also invite Xuan Che over for dinner to discuss the Hidden Order's research on the "Angel Catalyst" and the possible conspiracy behind its appearance on Feather-13b, a mobile phone ringtone suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Yu Sheng took out his phone and looked, surprised to find that the caller this time was indeed Xuan Che.

"Really can't even mention someone without them showing up..." he muttered subconsciously, raised his hand to answer the call, "Hello, Xuan Che?"

"Mr. Yu, this junior pays his respects," the phone transmitted Xuan Che's signature polite greeting, "Are you at home today? The sect has issued an order for me to return; I have come today to bid you farewell in person."

Hearing this, Yu Sheng was greatly surprised: "Ah? So suddenly? I am at home... Where are you now?"

"I am near Wutong Road; I will be there shortly."

Yu Sheng hung up the phone and exchanged looks with Erin and the others.

Not long after, Xuan Che arrived.

Yu Sheng returned to No. 66 Wutong Road, opened the door for Xuan Che, invited him inside, opened a bottle of drink, and then asked curiously: "What happened that you're leaving so urgently? You said before you wanted to stay here for a few more days."

Xuan Che took the drink, thanked him, then sighed: "Alas, indeed the matter is sudden. My master said that a strange and eerie realm suddenly appeared near the Tai Xu Ling Shu; the situation is very complex. He cannot leave himself at present and needs a disciple of prestige to represent him, so he has sent me back to manage the situation..."

As he spoke, he noticed Luna standing in the corner of the living room, again in standby mode; his expression suddenly froze: "Ah, isn't this..."

"She is one of us now," Yu Sheng explained casually, "her name is Luna."

Xuan Che was stunned; obviously, the "Artificial Saintess" they had been fighting to the death a few days ago now standing here as "one of us" left him momentarily bewildered. However, he knew that Yu Sheng had captured the Hidden Order's spaceship and attempted to "repair" the Artificial Saintess, and he also knew the truth and past behind Luna, so he quickly recovered, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he stood up to greet her: "I am Xuan Che; it is a pleasure to see Miss safe and sound, returning to the right path."

Luna reacted for a moment, apparently trying hard to recall who this somewhat familiar person was, and only then finally matched him in her database, recalling the "Medical Disturbance Explosive Fist" that the other party had delivered last time they met, which directly sent her back into the Holy Coffin. After a brief hesitation, she bent slightly at the waist, greeted with an elegant posture, and spoke: "Hello."

Seeing the two exchange greetings, Yu Sheng then spoke to Xuan Che again: "Alright, since the sect has issued an order, I won't detain you further—but you shouldn't be in such a rush for this moment, right?"

"That is not urgent; I have booked a high-speed shuttle departing from the Borderland Xinggang tomorrow," Xuan Che nodded, "Do you have other arrangements?"

"Mainly, I just learned some information from the Special Services Bureau regarding the Holy Hidden Order's activities over the past decade or so, and it may even involve the Tai Xu Ling Shu side; I wanted to tell you," as Yu Sheng spoke, his expression gradually became serious, "Your master should receive news from Director Bai Li very soon—many major powers will likely be busy soon."

Hearing these words, Xuan Che's eyes immediately grew grave: "The Holy Hidden Order's activities over the past decade or so? And involving the Tai Xu Ling Shu... Are you referring to the secret nest we discovered near the Feather-13b border?"

"Exactly," Yu Sheng nodded, "Simply put, that group of cultists has been secretly researching something called the 'Angel Catalyst' over the past decade, and developing certain dangerous technologies based on it. They hid in that 'City in the Mist' to obtain the 'Catalyst' after the Dark Angel Anka Aila fell. Considering the various special features of the spaceship they built, called the 'Pillar of Order', I suspect... their actions on Feather-13b also have similar objectives."
