Chapter 35

"Got used to it..." Qi Feng chewed on the words spoken by Sister Xue, which were plain but carried deep meaning, almost oozing with dominance. He felt his face stiffen. What exactly have you gotten used to, Sister Xue? And... "By the way, what do you mean by 'this is Omega'? Is there no one in charge here?"

"Is this your first time in Omega?" The black guy couldn't help but ask Qi Feng.

"Ah! Yes, it's my first time leaving Earth. Um... I even sneaked into the cargo hold without a ticket!" Qi Feng had no identity here, so he had to pretend to be an illegal immigrant.

Xue She smiled and said, "Fortunately, you boarded a ship bound for Omega. Otherwise, you might now be in a police station on some planet or a security office on a colony."

She pointed to the distance, "Omega is a lawless place in the galaxy. The Citadel Council's laws do not apply here. There is no government, police, customs, or anything that maintains order."

So chaotic? No wonder I got robbed as soon as I arrived. Qi Feng found this state of anarchy almost incomprehensible. From his brief observation, he noticed that apart from the somewhat chaotic security, there was nothing desolate about the place. On the contrary, business and life seemed very vibrant. Look at that nightclub in the distance, playing loud rock music (though the building style was something Qi Feng had never seen before, the vibe clearly indicated it was a nightclub), with two long lines at the entrance.

"How can a place like this still function?"

Xue She shrugged, "There is no government, but there is a very powerful ruler. On Omega, she is the government, she is the law, and the entire planet is maintained by her authority. You'll meet her later."

Qi Feng didn't ask more, knowing this much was enough. In such a short time, he had already accepted too many aspects of this world. He felt it was better not to add more unknown things until he could digest what he already knew. He had been learning too much recently, and it was overwhelming.

Xue She clapped her hands, "Great, we've gained more than I expected. We just arrived in Omega and found a potential team member! Now, Miranda and I will go see the true owner of Omega. Jacob, since you're our weapons specialist, take Qi Feng back to our ship and get him some good equipment."

She pointed at Qi Feng's outfit, "You're very strong, but wearing this, a single mass accelerator round could end your life. It's not the Middle Ages anymore. You at least need a shield. Oh, and do you know how to use a gun?"

"Gun?" Qi Feng took out one of the three weapons he had just robbed, "You mean this? Uh... I only know how to use a Desert Eagle."

"Desert Eagle?" Xue She was puzzled. Jacob, the black guy, explained, "He's talking about a 20th-century chemical weapon."

Xue She laughed helplessly, "Qi Feng, you're practically a caveman." She took the belt and the gun Qi Feng had just filled and threw them into the trash pile behind her, "Trust me, you won't want to use these in battle."

Hey, hey, hey? But those were the first pieces of equipment I got in this world! Qi Feng stared at the burning trash pile with some reluctance. Although those things were nothing to a galactic super hero like Xue She, they were like divine gifts to Qi Feng, who had only played with toy guns all his life.

Well, okay, this lady said I'll get advanced equipment on the ship, so I'll just bear with it for a little while.

As for joining the team to fight the Reapers, Qi Feng wasn't too worried. Not to mention whether a hero like Xue She would betray her teammates (Qi Feng, you're too optimistic; Xue She wouldn't hesitate to betray anyone to achieve her goals), but with his ability to teleport, he could always escape if things got too dangerous.

The four of them parted ways, and Jacob took Qi Feng to the nearest public transportation hub.

You didn't misread! In a place that claims to have no government or laws, there is a complete public transportation system! And it's free! Most impressively, its efficiency and order surpass even the subway and buses in the capital of a major country. No wonder this is a top-tier technological world! Otherwise, just from this point alone, it would be hard to tell which side is in anarchy.

Jacob and Qi Feng now boarded a small flying vehicle, fully autonomous, with unknown power source and materials. Qi Feng, sitting inside, felt like a country bumpkin on his first car ride, carefully observing everything around him but eventually giving up on trying to understand it—there was too much of a technological gap.

Looking out the large glass (or what looked like glass) at the bizarre and colorful Omega, a humanities student might have been inspired to create countless works. But for a science student like Qi Feng, who always tried to explain things with formulas in his head, the amount of information was overwhelming. Just the neon lights floating outside a street shop made him think for a long time about what force was keeping them afloat. (Later, Jacob explained that it was just a holographic projection.)

In the end, Qi Feng had to close his eyes and let his brain rest.

"Alright, we're here!" The flying vehicle arrived at the spaceport. Jacob got out and pointed to a large spaceship on the dock, "That's our ship—the Normandy!"

For a while, no one responded. Jacob turned around and didn't see Qi Feng. He looked into the vehicle, but no one was there! Uh? How did he suddenly disappear?! Jacob was stunned. The first team member Xue She had brought in was lost right under his nose! Jacob felt sweat on his forehead. How would he explain this?

What about Qi Feng? Of course, he was... forcibly teleported!

He had closed his eyes and was suddenly thrown back to the library restroom!

And it was pitch dark!

"Damn, I'm back already? I haven't even gotten my equipment!" Qi Feng was almost ready to explode, "I finally got to a high-tech world, fought some minor enemies, and came back with nothing?!"

If it weren't for Xue She, he could have at least brought back three super-modern weapons! Qi Feng was filled with regret.

He checked his phone and found that it was already past eleven! The library had even turned off the lights, and all the doors were locked. If he wanted to leave, he would have to climb out the window.

Qi Feng thought about it and decided not to bother. At his current level, jumping from the third floor wouldn't hurt him, but if he was seen by a security camera, a guard, or a couple out late, it would cause trouble. He decided to find a place to sleep instead, which was easy enough.

Qi Feng pushed open a door, and there was the Yue Lai Inn!

This ancient Chinese chain hotel, which Qi Feng visited daily, but he had never tried their guest rooms before. Today was his chance. However, the time difference between the worlds was a headache; it was still daytime here.

He walked into the inn, and a waiter greeted him, "Oh, Young Master Feng, you're here!"

"Do you have a room? I need one!"

"Sure! Please wait a moment. I'll get you a room right away!" The waiter hurried to clean a table and asked Qi Feng to sit down.

"What? A room will take a while?" Qi Feng was a bit confused.

"Ah? Young Master Feng, you want a room?" The waiter had reflexively responded, as Qi Feng had come hundreds of times, always to move beef or eat and drink, never to get a room. He had automatically assumed it was a dish.

"Yes, yes, get me a room quickly, I'm exhausted."

The waiter slapped his forehead, "My apologies. Follow me, we have a room on the second floor!"

As Qi Feng followed the waiter to the room, the waiter couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Feng, why are you resting here today?"

Qi Feng sighed, "My friends are forcing me to study, so I'm hiding out."

The waiter laughed, "Well, with your family's wealth, studying or not makes no difference. You'll always be a rich man!"

"True, I can sleep until I wake up naturally and count money until my hands cramp..." Qi Feng sometimes thought that with his ability, he could live a carefree life without much effort.

The waiter clapped his hands in agreement, "Young Master Feng, you're absolutely right! That's a great saying! It hits the heart. Life is all about comfort! Amazing, amazing!"

Qi Feng smiled, "Thanks, but my father wouldn't agree."

"Oh, I've never asked, but what does your father, Lord Qi, do?"

"University professor."

"Oh..." The waiter thought for a moment, translating "university" in his mind, "So, a high-ranking official. My apologies."

Qi Feng rolled his eyes but was too tired to argue. He covered his head with the blanket and fell into a deep sleep.

He woke up to the sound of his phone alarm. Fortunately, he had set an alarm, otherwise, traveling between worlds with different time zones could easily mess up his schedule. However, his phone had no signal here.

Back in the real world, Qi Feng's phone regained its function. He had been gone for a night, and there were several missed calls.

He checked them one by one. There were calls from the leader, Yan Yufeng, and a girl from the yoga club, Su.

Uh? What did they want at such a late hour? Qi Feng was about to call back when his phone rang first. It was Su.

Qi Feng answered, and her tone was not friendly, "Why didn't you answer my call yesterday?"

"Ah, I didn't have a signal, I only noticed this morning."

Su's voice sounded a bit strange, "If you have time, come to the club. Now."
