Leaving Restdat
From the outside, the Titan of the Gu Ding Team looks like a One-Star War God.
Upon entering, Fa Te was momentarily stunned. He circled the Main Cabin before asking with an incredulous expression, "This spaceship of yours... is it Titan Battleship left over from the Near Ancient Era?"
"Yes, we got it from the Oul Ruins." Gu Ding did not deny it. He was also somewhat surprised that the other party could recognize the spaceship after only looking at the internal structure.
"This is the first time I've seen the real thing. I've only ever seen blueprints and models in museums before." Fa Te's gaze kept wandering around the interior of the spaceship, as if he wanted to swallow the whole ship whole.
"The Titan Battleship was a five-star super warship in the Near Ancient Era. Due to the lack of modern shipbuilding technology, the current five-star warships cannot compare with your Titan Battleship in terms of size or defense. And it even has such perfect external camouflage... It's simply unbelievable."
"Just now outside, I thought your spaceship was just a One-Star War God, and I was even thinking of telling you to just take my ship. Because the One-Star War God has a very low safety factor in the Reverse Dragon River Channel." After looking around the Main Cabin, Fa Te turned to look at Gu Ding. "Those of you who haven't been to the Universe Sea may not know, but among the more than three thousand Great Boundary River connecting the Universe Sea, there is a similar river, and these rivers, like the Reverse Dragon River Channel, are full of powerful creatures. Once the spaceship is attacked, the one-star War God's defenses are far from enough."
"He's right. These waterways, due to their unique environment, have extremely strong spatial pulling forces. Therefore, they are used by many physically powerful star river beasts as places to hone their bodies, and even occasionally, Starry Sky Giant Beast appear," the Sea Emperor added in Gu Ding's ear.
The Sea Emperor's words shocked Gu Ding.
The Starry Sky Giant Beast are no joke; they are powerful remnants of Primordial Bloodline, only slightly inferior to divine beasts. Any adult Starry Sky Giant Beast is comparable in size to a star, possessing terrifying physical defenses that even Peak-rank God dare not easily provoke.
"However, there's no need to worry too much. The probability of encountering Starry Sky Giant Beast is very low; only those with extremely bad luck will encounter one," the Sea Emperor added.
Wandering inside the spaceship, Fa Te grew increasingly enamored with the Titan Battleship. He almost forgot his initial purpose for boarding. It wasn't until Gu Ding took out the beast egg again that he remembered he had come to witness the hatching of the egg.
The incubation of animal eggs requires sufficient temperature and light. And all of this can be achieved by an incubator.
After Gu Ding took out the General Beast egg, he realized that there had never been an incubator or anything like that in his Storage Space. His hand, which had been holding the beast egg, froze in mid-air.
Fa Te, who was waiting for Gu Ding to hatch, noticed Gu Ding's stiff movements. "What's wrong?"
"I'm going out to buy an incubator. You can wander around by yourself," Gu Ding said, General Beast eggs back into his Storage Space.
"No need to buy one, I have one here." Fa Te said, taking out a nearly three-meter-tall standing incubator from his Storage Space. "I'll give this to you. Anyway, your spaceship is so big, you won't need it in the future. It can stand there as a decoration."
"This decoration is a bit expensive," Sea Emperor couldn't help but sigh in Gu Ding's ear. "This incubator is worth 200 million Universe Crystal, which is a hundred times the amount of your current bounty, Gu Ding."
The upright incubator resembled a giant, cylindrical fish tank. After finding a suitable location within the spaceship, Gu Ding activated the incubator. The transparent, glass-like material automatically opened, and Gu Ding placed the General Beast eggs inside. The eggs floated automatically in the air. Once Gu Ding withdrew his hand, the incubator automatically shut down and began detecting the type of beast eggs.
The reason these incubators are so expensive is because they are fully automated intelligent products. They contain a large amount of animal data and can automatically select the optimal incubation method once the species of the animal egg is detected.
"Gu Ding. Cancel the automatic detection function and switch to manual operation," the Sea Emperor reminded Gu Ding in his ear. "Adjust the incubation temperature to 3800 degrees, set the light to white light, and adjust the brightness to maximum."
Gu Ding immediately canceled the automatic detection and manually adjusted the machine to the data provided by Sea Emperor.
Inside the incubator, a blinding white light suddenly enveloped everything, completely obscuring the animal eggs.
After seeing the data that Gu Ding Fa Te adjusted, Fat's expression became somewhat blank. "Are you planning to roast this beast egg and eat it?"
"This design is intended to stimulate the eggshell to produce more active ingredients, making the offspring stronger after birth," the Sea Emperor explained.
Gu Ding didn't say anything about this, because once he explained the first thing, Xiao Pang would definitely have countless questions waiting for him.
"Let me show you the cabin. You can find a room to stay in." Gu Ding led Fa Te to the cabin. "Rooms one through seven are already occupied. You can choose any of the rooms after that."
"I choose number eight." Fa Te didn't even look at the room; he only glanced at the room number before giving his answer. As far as he knew, spaceship cabins were generally standard rooms with almost identical structures; the only difference was the interior decoration style, so choosing any one of them wouldn't make much difference.
Upon entering room number eight, he glanced at the interior decoration and thought it was quite nice. "This is the one."
After choosing a room, Gu Ding led him on a brief tour of the spaceship's interior. By the time they finished, it was almost dinnertime, and Liliath and the others gradually returned.
Everyone was very welcoming when Gu Ding brought his friends back, and Fa Te was particularly good at networking, even prepared a small gift for everyone. Although they were just simple little things, they showed his good intentions, and everyone who received them was very happy.
Gu Ding didn't tell the others the little fat boy's true identity, because once they knew Fa Te was, they might not be so comfortable. Fa Te quickly became friends with everyone.
When Bigge was making dinner, he helped out, a treatment Bigge had never received before.
Gu Ding's culinary skills are all about his signature egg fried rice; as for anything else, even something as simple as cutting and preparing ingredients, he's a complete kitchen destroyer.
Liliath, being self-aware, stayed away from the kitchen. Her cooking skills were even worse than Gu Ding's. Gu Ding and Bigge once teamed up to teach her how to make fried rice for a month, but the result was still disappointing in both appearance and taste.
As for Elsa, that glutton, if you ask her to chop some vegetables or shred some Rose, she'll just cut it off and stuff it raw into her mouth before it even goes into the pot. This proves that the Viking Clan not only physically as strong as monsters, but their digestive systems are also just as powerful.
Dokter, who seemed perfectly normal most of the time, had a penchant for practicing surgery on various kinds of meat. More than once, Bigge had found pieces of meat in the refrigerator that had been dismembered and then pieced back together to resemble whole carcasses. On one occasion, Bigge found a complete Pigge Beast in the refrigerator, stitched up with over eight thousand stitches by Dokter, after which Bigge strictly forbade him from going near the kitchen.
As for Tagore, it was one thing for him to sneak food every night, but he also often forgot to close the refrigerator door, frequently finding spoiled food inside the next morning. Eventually, Bigge replaced it with a smart refrigerator that automatically closes the door when no one is home.
Robert, who doesn't need to eat, could be helpful, but he's busy tinkering with machine parts in his room almost every day, busier Bigge, so it's unlikely he'd help with cooking.
Dinner was quickly prepared, and everyone sat around the table to enjoy their meal.
"Delicious!" Fa Te praised Bigge's cooking skills, giving this evaluation after tasting almost every dish. After tasting all the dishes, Fa Te spoke again, "I just don't understand why some people say it's a waste for Bigge to be a chef? I think with your cooking skills, it would be a waste if you weren't a chef."
Bigge blushed slightly upon hearing the praise.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the living room and shared their experiences of the day.
Gu Ding then took out the bracelet and examined it closely; it was the very bracelet that Fa Te had advised Gu Ding against buying.
Upon seeing the bracelet on Gu Ding's wrist, Fa Te immediately recognized it, "You still spent money to buy this piece of junk... It's just an ordinary bracelet..."
As soon as Fa Te finished speaking, the bracelet on Gu Ding's hand changed, transforming into the shape of a wristwatch. This was the result of Sea Emperor completing the unlocking process.
Gu Ding immediately probed the Storage Space of the Gu Ming Wristwatch with his spiritual power. This Storage Space was extremely large. What puzzled Gu Ding the most was that there were almost no cultivation resources in the huge space, only two extremely large Abyssal Demon, whose auras were as powerful as mountains.
"Both of these corpses are from Abyssal Demon, with Combat Strength comparable to Peak-rank God. Your strength is insufficient to devour the bloodline energy of these two demons. The owner of this watch should have participated in the ancient invasion war of the Abyssal Plane, and it is very likely that he died directly on the battlefield back then." The Sea Emperor quickly deduced some information about the original owner of the watch.
Of course, this watch also has other functions, such as medical care and Pet Beast Space, which have all been incorporated into Sea Emperor.
Three days passed quickly. The crew had already prepared all the resources on the spaceship. After a three-day break, the Titan finally left the port of Restdat Star and headed towards the Reverse Dragon River Channel.

I've been really out of sorts these past few days. I'm inexplicably irritable and can't concentrate. Every chapter is a struggle to write; each one takes at least five hours to squeeze out, like squeezing toothpaste. Today's chapter, in particular, I started writing around 4 PM and have been working on it for almost seven hours... I'm only managing an average of 450 words per hour, and that's with the internet disconnected. I'm speechless. It feels a bit like a woman's period, but I'm a grown man... this just doesn't feel right!
