[Note: In a timeline with countless possibilities, firmly eliminating all uncertainties is, in itself, a kind of romance.]

Su Wen looked at the rewards.

He had a sudden association:

"Trade Wind Core? Could it be that it can synergize with the Hyacinth I obtained?"

Thanks to the Hyacinth, his physical fitness had been increasing every day.

He walked to the windowsill.

Watching the soft, spherical plant gently sway its branches in the breeze.

He also took out the pale blue crystal from his storage and placed it next to the flowerpot.

The next second, strands of pale blue light velvet continuously extended from the Hyacinth flower ball, scattering in the air.

Then, they formed a ring-shaped pale blue sphere in the center of the air.

The core also seemed to be attracted by the Origin Point.

It floated and converged to the center.

Then, it gradually melted in the breeze.

[The current Trade Wind Core rank is too low, and it is in a dormant nourishing state] [Weak wind field regulation can be performed by consuming R75 Specialized Nutrient Solution]

"The new ability looks pretty good."

Su Wen said.

After the game ended, the infinite space of the storage box also ended.

He kept a few key high-tech items, so that if they were needed in reality, he could take them out at any time.

Now, the most important reward was the 'Schlote Heavy Industries' purchase service.

He looked at the prompt.

Then he finally opened the old employee terminal interface of 'Schlote Heavy Industries'.

He chose a service that was probably not very meaningful, but would also not cause the Mental Review Bureau or organizations like 'Zero-Sum Game' to target him.

"Mr. Su, no one will ask for leave for you if you're late."

As the top student of the year, preparing to apply to a world-renowned university, Jiang Menghan had never taken a day off for herself.

But she had reported Su Wen sick for two days in a row.

Of course.

As for not helping to ask for leave, she was just saying that.

Except for a few people, what anyone else said would not affect her own decisions.

"I'm coming, I woke up the moment I smelled the breakfast."

Su Wen smiled, turned off the computer, put on his coat, and walked downstairs.

Leaving only the window.

That slender, pale blue Hyacinth was gradually recovering in the breeze.

The ripples belonging to the Origin Origin Point also slowly rippled outside the latitude.

Half an hour later.

Su Wen, holding an umbrella in the continuous rain after the hurricane, walked with Jiang Menghan towards Coastal University.

He looked towards the coastline in the distance.

Although it was still covered in gloomy rain clouds, what he saw on the computer wasn't fake.

So he said to the beautiful girl beside him, "How about we go to the beach when the rain stops?"

"Have you thought about transportation?"

The girl didn't deny it.

On the contrary.

She seriously considered the possibility of this short trip.

Su Wen said casually, "We'll take my old bike, and I'll give you a ride."

Jiang Menghan blinked, her voice clear but with a hint of playfulness, "Mr. Su, are you sure it won't fall apart?"

"Let's take the tram."

Su Wen's confidence in the durability of his old bike was probably even lower than that of the Lighthouse 43 shelter.

Three days later.

Jiang Xiuyuan temporarily returned home and invited Su Wen to be a guest.

After learning that Su Wen had advanced to Transcendent and saved Jiang Menghan, he expressed his gratitude with a solemn attitude.

But soon.

He returned to the institute for closed research.

For some people.

Once you choose something, you will probably lose something in return.

Jiang Menghan could understand.

Five days later.

The two boarded a tram heading to the beach.

As the scenery outside the tram shifted from a steel jungle city back to nature.

The cool, clean smell and the fragrance of sandy soil left behind after the rain gradually spread.

Looking at the sky, washed clean by the rain, as clear as glazed tile.

Jiang Menghan wore a dress, exposing her fair calves, and stood barefoot on the white sand beach.

Then she gently sat on the beach and scooped up a handful of clear seawater.

Click.

The picture froze.

This beautiful scene was forever frozen in the silhouette of time.

The girl waved to him:

"Su Wen, what are you doing?"

"Taking pictures of a beautiful girl who makes my heart flutter."

At the same time.

A film quietly became popular on the Internet:

[Documentary: Lighthouse 43] [From an ignored watchman to the only haven in the hurricane] [Distribution: Azure]

A story belonging to Lighthouse 43, built at the end of the last century.

Then, after years of polishing.

Finally, the engineer who needed it arrived beneath the stone wall.

After which.

Pieces of mechanical parts were assembled into a cornerstone of civilization against the hurricane.

The storm passed.

The film came to an end.

Su Wen and Jiang Menghan sat on a beachside bench and finished watching this civilizational documentary that topped the Twitter trending list.

Night had already fallen.

[SLT-3701 Recycler, your final personalized service has arrived. We wish you a pleasant life and bid you farewell.] [Employee information has been destroyed.] [Schlote Heavy Industries Future Timeline has been altered.] [The Martian Rescue and Sea of Stars Expedition timelines have been altered.]

In that instant, The already dim night sky was completely covered in light.

It was fireworks shooting into the sky from the foot of the mountain, like shooting stars streaking upwards.

The fiery trails blossomed into floral seeds, blooming wantonly in the darkness: purple, sun-like dandelions; cascading blue spider plants; roses woven from red and gold; white dahlias...

It was as if a Celtic poet was using the night as their canvas, Painting the entire starry sky into a sea of flowers.
