Gwen smiled and took Stargazer's soft, smooth hand in his, enveloping it in his warmth—

As for body shape...

You'll have to ask that guy you had before.

Doesn't that thing have some kind of ability like a wish-granting machine?

Perhaps back then you wished you could grow up a little more, so you grew up.

"Um, are you alright?"

Hearing Gwen's comforting words, Stargazer nodded gently, her bright eyes reflecting Gwen's smile—

"I remember you were helping me bear the pressure from the world before."

"It's obvious that I have no problems right now."

Gwen patted his chest, making a loud thud.

"That's good."

Only after receiving an affirmative answer did Stargazer breathe a sigh of relief.

But before Stargazer could even finish catching his breath, Gwen said—

"However, I'm fine, but you might be in trouble, Stargazer."

"Um?"

Stargazer looked up in astonishment, staring at Gwen in bewilderment.

"We are now in the world I live in."

The writing system, language, culture, customs, and even lifestyle here are very different from the Huang Kingdom that you are Stargazer with.

It's not easy to adapt to it.

Seeing the usually composed and confident Stargazer's astonished expression, Gwen was secretly amused and silently took a screenshot.

"If that's all there is to it, then you're underestimating me far too much, Mr. Assassin."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, a hint of displeasure appeared on the beautiful face of the Stargazer.

"I was only twelve years old when I read through the royal library. I know everything about Tianwen and geography. How could I be scared by such a trivial difficulty?"

"Then I'll wait and see."

Upon hearing this, Gwen met Stargazer's slightly displeased gaze and said with a smile.

"By the way, it's worth mentioning that many areas that were not discovered in your world or in your era have been developed quite well in this world."

Once you've adapted to this world and want to delve into your professional field, there'll be even more to learn.

"That is exactly what I wanted."

Upon hearing this, Stargazer's eyes lit up.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Seeing that Stargazer had fallen for his provocation, Gwen nodded inwardly, then suddenly remembered something interesting and, meeting Stargazer's curious gaze, said—

"There may be many familiar faces in this world—"

For example, Rita, and Durandal, who is also your General You Lan.

For example, your Second Imperial Uncle... in this world, is your eldest niece.

"Ah?"

By the end, Stargazer couldn't help but show a look of astonishment—

This situation, where the relationship between a close person and oneself is reversed, still caught the Stargazer somewhat off guard.

"And... yourself."

Seeing that Stargazer was losing his temper so quickly, Gwen chuckled and added insult to injury—

"In this world, there is someone who looks almost exactly like you, but has a very different personality... just like Valkyrie Quicksilver."

"I had anticipated this long ago."

Stargazer, however, was much calmer, even rolling his eyes at Gwen, seemingly trying to cover up his earlier lapse in composure.

"Very well, I underestimated our Stargazer."

Gwen smiled and agreed, then, before the girl could react, he got back to business—

"By the way, there's no need to worry too much about the World Bubble inside your body, Stargazer."

Because of the World Bubble within Durandal's body, my Schicksal, Destiny, has been researching how to reconnect the World Bubble back to the Imaginary Tree.

"Then we can send your world back to the Imaginary Tree along with it."

"Um..."

Hearing Gwen's words, Stargazer nodded, but a hint of hesitation appeared on her beautiful face—

"But I'd like to know, what is this Imaginary Tree you speak of?"

Although it was a bit embarrassing to ask a question right after making such a Gwen, Stargazer still put aside his slight reserve and asked Gwyn.

"The so-called Imaginary Tree..."

Faced with the Stargazer's humble request for knowledge, Gwen naturally did not hold back.

However, when faced with all the "whys" and "whats" about Stargazer, Gwen's limited knowledge was quickly exhausted.

Left with no other choice, Gwen had to summon the old patriarch Velvie.

Chapter 435 Finding a part-time job for Himeko.

Faced with the wise gaze of the Stargazer, Gwen, whose knowledge had been quickly drained, decisively chose to invoke the gods, summoning Velvie, who was most skilled in this area.

However, Gwen overlooked one thing—

"I should be able to answer your question."

After a series of fluent questions and answers, Velvie suddenly hesitated when faced with a question about Stargazer. Her grip on the brim of her top hat tightened slightly, and a hint of distress appeared on her smiling face.

"But the problem is, I don't have that part of the Remembrance now, and my mind goes blank whenever I think about it."

As she spoke, Velvie glanced at Gwen, a hint of resentment appearing on her delicate face—

Looking at the Stargazer seemed to be full of curiosity about everything, Velvie felt as if she were seeing her younger self, and naturally wanted to make a good impression on the younger generation.

However, the Remembrance loss caused Velvie to falter at a crucial moment.

"It seems that your top priority, Velvie, is to get yourself back in shape."

Faced with Velvie's slightly Xiao You gaze, Gwen could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.

"Come back first. I'll work harder during this time and see if I can help you recover as soon as possible."

"What about the Stargazer area?"

Upon hearing Gwen's promise to help her recover first, a sly glint flashed in Velvie's eyes, but she didn't forget about the problem with Stargazer.

"I'll go find someone else to help."

Gwen shrugged, seemingly quite relaxed about it.

"If all else fails, we can find an artificial intelligence to help with Stargazer and searching. It should be enough to help her understand the basics."

"If it's artificial intelligence, it should at least be at the level of an advanced Armed Puppet, right?"

Upon hearing Gwen's plan, Velvie also offered her advice—

"After all, some of the questions asked by the Stargazer are quite tricky, and those AI-powered people can't answer them."

"For more complex questions, isn't there always our teacher, Dawei?"

Gwen chuckled.

"That will have to wait until I recover..."

Meeting Gwen's smiling gaze, Velvie's pretty face flushed slightly. She avoided looking at Gwen and turned her gaze to the Stargazer—

"Stargazer, my soul is still somewhat incomplete, and there are some questions I cannot answer for you."

I will give you the answer to your question once I have figured it out.

However, until I recover, you'll probably have to learn it on your own.

"Yes, I... I understand."

The smooth and pleasant conversation came to an abrupt end, leaving Stargazer with an indescribable sense of unease. However, he also gained a general understanding of Velvie's situation from their conversation.

"Please recover as soon as possible, sir. I look forward to the day when we can explore the principles of the universe together."

"Thank you for your kind words, goodbye for now!"

Velvie smiled and waved her hand before disappearing into Gwen's body.

"Mr. Assassin, have I... caused you any trouble?"

Seeing Velvie leave, Stargazer sighed softly and looked at Gwen somewhat uncomfortably.

"That's not true; it just reminds me not to overlook certain things..."

Gwen waved his hand casually and took out his phone to contact Changguang.

However, a moment later, Gwen could only helplessly put down his phone—

Changguang has a ton of work to do right now and simply doesn't have the time.

"Mr. Assassin, perhaps we should forget about it and start learning from the basics. That's what I should be doing now."

Seeing something in Gwen's expression, Stargazer quickly spoke up, not wanting to trouble Gwen any further.

"Of course, a solid foundation is important, but with your intelligence, Stargazer, it would be a waste to actually start learning from the basics with a textbook..."

Gwen smiled and shook his head, but dialed another number instead.

"Hello?

Himeko, are you free right now?

I have a part-time job available here, would you like to take a look?

Soon after, Himeko, dressed in her training uniform, entered the ward and looked at the Stargazer on the bed with a strange expression.

However, noticing the displeasure on the face of the Stargazer on the bed, Himeko also gave an apologetic look, turned her gaze to Gwen, and tentatively asked—

"This is... Theresa after she grew up?"

"Her name is Stargazer, not Theresa. At most, she looks somewhat like her."

Although Stargazer once considered Theresa the wisest of all, Gwen still shook his head and emphasized the identity of the Stargazer.

"All right..."

Upon hearing this, Himeko's suspicious gaze did not lessen much, and she inquired about the important matter.

When Gwen expressed his desire for her guidance in his Stargazer studies, Himeko's expression became somewhat strange—

In her memory, Theresa was a complete lazybones. Even though she seemed to have improved a bit recently, it was only in training; she still hadn't made any progress in her studies.

"I've already said, she's Stargazer, not Theresa."

Gwen smiled and nodded his head.

"To put it bluntly, at least in terms of intelligence, Stargazer completely outclasses Theresa."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Himeko became interested—

If Theresa could see a version of herself that had grown up and was even smarter than her, her expression would be priceless, wouldn't it?

Himeko, who had been ruthlessly exploited by Theresa at the Far East Branch and held multiple positions, and had rarely been on the battlefield in recent years, thought to herself.

As an outstanding graduate of Caltech and with many years of teaching experience at the St. Freya Academy, Himeko the perfect person to help the Stargazer get to know and understand this world.

Seeing that Himeko quickly got the hang of the tutorial and began helping Stargazer integrate into this world, Gwen decided to go and Elysian Realm with Kevin.
