Chapter 548 Life on Roland Star
Chapter 548 Life on Roland Star
Yunlan's afternoon nap wasn't long; she woke up after four or five hours. Looking out the window, she noticed it was still quite bright outside. Somewhat puzzled, she said to Li Chenglong, who was sitting at a nearby table studying something, "I've slept for five hours now, so why is it still so bright?"
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "So Sun Menghua and the others didn't tell you that Roland Star is 1.5 times the size of Earth, but its rotation speed is almost exactly the same as Earth's. So a day here is 36 hours long, and it's nighttime from 27 PM to 9 AM the next day. It's only 25 PM now, so of course it's still very bright."
Yunlan paused for a moment, then finally remembered that Sun Menghua had mentioned it to her before, but she hadn't paid much attention at the time because she was in a hurry.
Li Chenglong looked outside: "It will be dark by 27 p.m., and it's time for dinner. Do you want to eat at home or go out and eat while you're out? Although Roland Star is sparsely populated and the land is vast, Roland City is still quite lively in the first half of the night, and there are many delicious foods available."
Yunlan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out to eat. Let's invite everyone, including the Second Division and the Special Forces. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I only brought 10 people from the Special Forces this time. The others are responsible for protecting my dad. After all, we've all left, and now my dad, Zheng Yong, Ma Tiancheng, and others are busy with various things. Their bodyguards alone aren't enough."
While helping Yunlan put on her shoes, Li Chenglong said, "I agree to everything you've arranged. Let me talk to the head maid of this villa, and then we'll go out together. Cynthia came by once before and said she'd already arranged things for the Second Division and the Special Agent Team. Their accommodations are only 500 meters from us. Although it seems a bit far, the distance between buildings is quite large because there are so few people in Roland City."
The two came out of the bedroom and found everyone gathered in the living room chatting. Li Chenglong handed everyone a card about the size of a bank card: "This is almost the same as the identity card in our Dawn City. I've put money on each card, so everyone can eat and have fun later."
Feng Tian and Shen Menghua exchanged a glance, and then Feng Tian said, "We two won't go. Comrade Shen Menghua and I just spoke with Miss Cynthia and are planning to visit Queen Raymond in a bit to report on the progress of the Earth United Fleet, deliver the video messages from the three princesses on Earth to the Queen, and also make some trade requests regarding some things that Earth needs."
The two had previously reported to Li Chenglong about everything that had happened in Dawn City, the Dawn Army, and on Earth recently. While handing out the identity cards, Li Chenglong said, "Thank you for your hard work. We will bring you some delicious food when we come back later."
Then Li Chenglong, along with Yun Lan, Li Xue, Han Xiaoling, Zhao Liying, Wu Gang, and the Second Division and the special forces, headed towards the night market street. Since both the elves and dark elves on Roland Star are vegetarians, and as a renowned livestock planet in the Interstellar Alliance, the vast majority of their livestock are exported to other planets.
If you want to enjoy various meat dishes in Roland City, you have to come to this night market street. The night market street is over two kilometers long and mainly serves guests from other planets or immigrants.
Li Chenglong counted, and including himself, there were 22 people who came together this time. Fortunately, there were people from all kinds of planets on this night market street, so they were not too special among them.
The group walked slowly from east to west, buying a lot of fruits and handicrafts that could never be found on Earth. The girls also bought a lot of clothes. As night fell, the night market street became even more lively, with vendors selling food, performing arts, weapons, and everything else imaginable.
After nearly two hours of shopping, the group not only ate and drank their fill but also bought a lot of things for themselves and their friends and family in Dawn City. Later, at Li Chenglong's suggestion, they went to the crystal exchange office and exchanged their saved low-level crystals for high-level ones. As a wealthy woman, Yunlan bought several top-grade space potions and gave them to Liu Ruyan, Feng Ke, and others who had made outstanding contributions to the special forces team.
Li Chenglong didn't hold back either. Besides the gifts he had already given to Zhao Liying and Li Xue, he also prepared a top-grade space potion for Wu Gang and the other members of the Second Division. Of course, he didn't forget Feng Tian, Shen Menghua, his parents-in-law in Dawn City, Zheng Yong, and others. However, due to this lavish purchase, he had very few level 13 crystals left, but still had quite a few level 11 crystals.
Everyone returned to the villa satisfied. Shen Menghua and Feng Tian were already back. Han Xiaoling brought out the food she had bought for them, and Li Chenglong gave them two high-grade space potions each. As for the other members of the Second Division and the special agent team, they said goodbye and left.
While eating, the two explained their conversation with Queen Raymond and Princess Laura to Li Chenglong and Yun Lan. They also showed Li Chenglong the order they had just signed, asking him to sign it if he agreed. Li Chenglong took the contract, carefully read it through, and then showed it to Yun Lan. After that, the two of them signed the contract.
Li Chenglong looked at everyone and said, "The night in Roland City lasts from 5 PM to 9 AM, a total of 18 hours. Of course, we can't sleep for that long. Each of your personal rooms has a home theater, Roland Star's dedicated network, game consoles, and other entertainment facilities, as well as a simulation training pod, which you can use freely. If you get hungry, you can also make something to eat. We'll meet in the living room at 9:30 AM tomorrow."
Li Chenglong and Yun Lan entered the two's bedroom, and soon Li Xue and Han Xiaoling also came in. Li Chenglong smiled and said, "When Sun Menghua and Nangong Yanran and the others returned to Earth first, Zhao Liying had Sun Menghua take those weapons she had made back with her. I believe you have all received them."
He continued, "According to my previous arrangements, I left a total of one spear, one precious bow, one magic staff, one precious sword, and two battle knives for our family. The spear is for Yunlan, the precious bow is for Xiaoling, the magic staff is naturally for Li Xue, one battle knife is for my father-in-law, and the other is for Yunhao, while the medium-length precious sword is for Yunxi."
Yunlan nodded: "Yes, we have received all the weapons, and I have used them once. This spear is actually stronger than my Holy Spirit Spear."
Li Chenglong smiled and said, "The three of you will come with me tomorrow. We'll ask Queen Raymond to remelt and forge the weapons you're currently using and the weapons I've given you. That way, your weapons will be even better."
Yunlan excitedly clasped her hands together: "That's wonderful! With better weapons, I believe our combat power will also increase significantly."
The family sat together and chatted for a long time. Li Chenglong also made some simple arrangements for the future. After staying on Roland Star for a while, he and the others would return to Earth first, and then come back to Roland Star after the Earth United Fleet was fully formed.
However, there's no need to rush this. According to the information sent by the Apocalypse, the final battle will take place two cosmic years from now. A cosmic year is much longer than a year on Earth, which means that Earth still has some time to build the most powerful space fleet possible.
Given the current scarcity of top-tier combatants, Li Chenglong recounted how he had leveled up to level 14 to Queen Raymond, much to her surprise. To confirm this, Queen Raymond and Li Chenglong agreed that once he recovered, they would find a superhuman or psychic with sufficient potential who had been stuck at the late stage of level 13 for a long time to try and cultivate another level 14 powerhouse.
Li Chenglong asked Yunlan about this matter, and Yunlan said that if she had the opportunity, she would definitely give it a try. If she could level up to level 14, it would definitely be a great help.
