The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 254 - 253 Star Formation

Chapter 254: Chapter 253 Star Formation

At the highest peak of a rugged spiral-converged structure on the surface of a certain planet, a young man sat cross-legged, gazing up at the stars.

He blinked every 60 seconds, like a precisely set robot, with an error margin within 0.1 seconds.

The young man had maintained this gaze for two months now.

Outside the planet, in the principal’s office

Ms. Daislin Baldivia kept a mid-air embracing position, cradling the planet in her arms.

However, compared to her usual tranquility, there was an extraordinarily rare impatience, something that hadn’t been seen since Zede lost control on campus.

The reason was simple: Yi Chen’s consciousness had stayed on the planet for too long.

The “Fantasy Celestial Body” she created could be considered a Sensing Type relic,

For those who could see celestial bodies, once their consciousness entered, all that was needed was to complete a very ordinary pilgrimage and gaze up, and within as short as a day or at most a week, they could gain [Sensing +1].

However,

Yi Chen’s consciousness had stayed inside for two months,

resulting in his physical body also remaining in the office, requiring Principal Daislin to take care of feeding every day, specifically with liquid food such as dairy products or broth so as not to interfere with his star-gazing.

Daislin came from a distinguished family and was naturally served by others from birth; serving someone else like this was a first for her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, even considering interrupting Yi Chen, forcing him to return to reality, but then she thought such an action would make her seem intolerant.

“What on earth is going on with this guy? Stargazing is not resting; it places a burden on the brain. With such prolonged stargazing for two months, an ordinary person would have collapsed into unconsciousness by now, and perhaps their brain would have burst.”

Could it be related to this guy’s brain structure?

Hmm… it seems like there have been some changes.”

At that moment, Yi Chen, who was sitting at the peak, actually began to float slowly,

and his whole head became gradually transparent, allowing direct observation of the brain tissue encapsulated within, along with the Emblem that had taken on a radiant hue due to stargazing.

The reason Yi Chen watched for so long was because his personality inherently held a fundamental pursuit for the sea of stars.

During his time in the orphanage, Yi Chen had never seen a real night sky from his childhood; everything outside the window was a false image rendered by the orphanage using backdrops and special effects.

“Could this be a relic left by a madman?

How is that possible? If you had encountered a group of madmen in the Old World, there’s no way you would have survived… Those madmen have an extreme pursuit of everything. As an outsider, you would inevitably become material for their knowledge-seeking.”

There are no more than twenty people within our organization who can confront a madman head-on.”

“No, I bought it from a duke.”

Yi Chen briefly recounted his experience in the Old World, and the principal, combining what she observed from her blurry star formations, understood… She seemed as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

The topic returned to the relic,

with the principal holding the metal sphere and softly saying, “I suppose I can’t assist with the decryption of such a relic, right?”

“Indeed, you cannot, but the atmosphere in your office can increase my decryption efficiency. If it’s inconvenient for you, I won’t bother you.”

“Forget it, just stay and decode it here, but I need to get out and clear my head. I’ve almost suffocated from these past two months.

He had always longed to peek at the night sky outside,

and now, under Principal Daislin’s guidance, as if riding a spacecraft to outer space, he sat on the surface of a planet without the obstruction of an atmosphere, directly viewing the universe, a sight so beautiful that he was completely intoxicated.

It wasn’t just sensing; it was also learning.

As Yi Chen floated in the sky, with his brain almost transparent, his body began to disassemble and turned into a meteor, leaving the planet at a speed surpassing gravity’s pull without needing the principal’s guidance.

Turning into a meteor, his consciousness flew straight towards his body in the office and crashed into his brain at the forehead, instantly coloring his entire physical body with a layer of star river luster.

[Sensing Psyche] has increased [5+] → [6]

*Sensing has reached its limit.

*The “Star Magic” related system has been unlocked; the individual can enhance this system through further study, contemplation, Central Tasting, and so on, to comprehend more effective spells.

When Yi Chen opened his eyes, his pupils still bore the imprint of the stars he had gazed upon, and even his clothing adapted and changed, sparkling with starlight on the fabric.

Principal Daislin couldn’t help but be attracted to such an image, becoming momentarily entranced, but she quickly regained her composure.

“Could this guy possibly!?”

Without interrupting, she just quietly waited for Yi Chen to come out of that state.

Half a day passed, and finally, the starlight in Yi Chen’s eyes faded, his thoughts returning from the sea of stars to reality.

“Principal… It seems a lot of time has passed? I could feel the passage of time, but I was trapped among the star river, unable to leave.”

“Not long, just over seventy days.”

“What?” Yi Chen was suddenly startled and also began to check his physical state, only to find that he had not become emaciated but had actually gained some weight, with the taste of milk still lingering in his mouth.

“Thank you, Principal, for taking care of me during this time.”

No sooner had he expressed his gratitude than a resonant sound transmission, like the explosion of a star system, resounded in his mind.

“Come here!”

Feeling the principal’s anger, Yi Chen could only lower his head and walk over.

As he approached, smack! Two hands directly grasped Yi Chen’s head and pulled him closer, and because of the height difference, Yi Chen had to look up slightly to make eye contact with the principal.

The “Crying Mask” had already been removed,

and the principal’s starry eyes gazed into Yi Chen’s, peering into his brain.

“You’ve realized star magic, haven’t you?”

“It seems so. My Sensing has improved, and there seemed to be a prompt about that.”

“In the history of our organization, besides myself, no one else has learned it. Among the gentlemen recruited over the years, none had a profession related to the stars.

I was pinning my hopes on Reagan, but that kid had an unresolved mental barrier. In the end, I had no choice but to send him to the Power Station.

Just when I was nearly giving up, unexpectedly, you emerged.

Is the [Relic] ready?”

Yi Chen was startled and hurriedly responded, “Ready! However, I might need to see Doctor Visari. He specifically instructed me to visit him before attempting an Extreme Breakthrough.”

The principal’s hands vigorously rubbed Yi Chen’s face, “I just asked if the relic is ready, I didn’t ask you to break through here, why are you getting ahead of yourself?

You’ve already wasted two months of my time. I can’t wait for you to get out of here, as I have a lot of things to attend to.

Since the relic is ready, I won’t offer any help in that regard.

When you break through the barrier, you can come to discuss issues about the stars with me. If you can touch the star systems, the barrier outside my office won’t stop you.”

“Okay.”

The hands that held Yi Chen’s face moved upward, fingers gently weaving through his hair, as the principal’s stern expression softened.

“Remember, don’t rush anything, especially the Extreme Breakthrough you’re about to undertake.

It’s not just about reaching the limit with your attributes and using the relic for a stable breakthrough; you’re bound to encounter some problems along the way.

When you face those problems, stop and think about the feeling of looking up at the starry sky, slowly contemplate, and organize your thoughts, to find the most perfect solution.”

“Thank you, Principal… Uh, can I continue to stay here for a while?”

At these words, Principal Daislin’s face once again took on a fierce appearance, and the right hand that was gently stroking his head slapped it heavily:

“Didn’t you just say you were going to find Visari? Why do you want to stay?”

Yi Chen rubbed his head and awkwardly explained, “I just said I would go to him when breaking through. Before that, there’s an important matter related to the relic.”

“Hmm? Isn’t your relic that black umbilical cord inside you?”

“No… I’ve kept this a secret from everyone except for my direct teachers, Qian Bosen and Zede.

I obtained a ‘Three Attribute Relic’ in the Old World, and this relic can’t be used directly; it requires decryption. Currently, [Intelligence] and [Physique] have been decrypted, leaving the final [Sensing].”

“What!? A Three Attribute Relic?” Even the well-informed Daislin was stunned, “Keeping that to yourself was the right move. Bring it out and let me have a look immediately.”

First, the Golden Box containing the relic was brought out.

“Is this the gold of the Old World? What exactly did you experience there?”

The box was opened.

“Madman’s Box – Third Rank”

A dark golden, smooth metal sphere was revealed, with a fingertip-sized hole at the top, indicating that the decryption might be related to [Peering].

Daislin examined the sphere’s intricate structure, craftsmanship, and special materials.

Remember, don’t cause trouble here. The star observatory was built with my blood, sweat, and tears.”

“Understood.”
