It had actually turned negative, leaving him completely stunned.
You could owe this thing?
Because Chen Mu had sent a Red Envelope earlier, his Points had now dropped to negative three hundred.
But before he could think further, he felt a powerful ability appear within his body.
He gradually became familiar with it and mastered it.
It was the space he knew so well.
"Looks like I really can't call myself an ordinary person anymore."
Chen Mu was filled with joy.
He could sense that any place in the universe he had visited—
with a single thought, he could travel there at any time.
He could go to places he had never visited as well.
It was just that, due to his lack of familiarity, he might end up in an unknown world.
Beyond that,
there were also many abilities born from space...
"That one million was so worth it."
Chen Mu briefly tested his ability, blinking continuously through the Space Station, his heart brimming with delight.
After all,
this was the power of the Trailblaze Aeon, Qlipoth.
What did one million Points even amount to?
In the universe, if anyone knew they could obtain the power of an Aeon, they would likely spare no cost.
Most importantly,
this also allowed Chen Mu to see the possibility of becoming an Aeon-level combatant, or even surpassing one.
"As expected of the Chat Group. It really is as miraculous as the rumors say."
Chen Mu wore a broad smile.
All along, although his talent in research was unmatched,
he possessed neither the power of any Aeon nor any special abilities.
He had actually felt rather regretful about that.
But now,
that regret was naturally gone.
From now on,
not only would he make his name resound throughout the galaxy as a researcher,
he would also shake the entire galaxy with his own strength.
"Oh, right. I should let Asta know that I'm heading out tomorrow."
Thinking this, Chen Mu vanished from where he stood.
When he appeared again,
he was already in Asta's room.
At that moment, Asta,
after a busy day, had just finished bathing and stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
The moment she walked out,
she saw a flash of light suddenly appear before her.
Then, right before her eyes, Chen Mu's figure slowly materialized.
Faced with Chen Mu's sudden appearance,
Asta froze, her delicate, aloof face filled with confusion.
Only after a moment
did she finally react. A blush slowly spread across her cute face as she let out an involuntary scream:
"Ahhh! Xiao Mu! When did you set a Teleportation Anchor in my room?!"
When Chen Mu saw Asta standing there fresh from the bath, wrapped in nothing but a towel, his expression turned utterly blank.
This... was way too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?
A breeze passed by, and Asta felt a hint of chill. Realizing her current state, she panicked and tried to hide first.
But in her fluster, her foot slipped, and she fell toward the floor instead.
I'm doomed.
Asta shut her eyes, instantly knowing her fate.
"Careful!"
In her daze, she only heard Chen Mu's anxious voice.
Then,
she did not feel the pain of crashing into the ground.
Instead, it was as though she had fallen onto something soft, and her lips seemed to have touched something.
When she opened her eyes,
Asta saw that she had fallen onto Chen Mu, her lips landing precisely on his.
Chen Mu could clearly see the trace of shyness and helplessness in the girl's violet eyes.
At that moment,
Chen Mu understood.
Sure enough, things like power—
once obtained, couldn't be used so recklessly in a moment of smug excitement.
Asta: I'm Your Big Sister!
"Too much."
"This is seriously too much."
"I only secretly kept the key to your room, but Xiao Mu, you actually secretly set a Teleportation Anchor in my room?!"
After the two of them had panicked for a while,
Asta got dressed and came before Chen Mu, loudly accusing him.
Asta's face was flushed at that moment. Dressed in casual shorts with her hair tied in a bun, she somehow looked exceptionally alluring, radiating an irresistible charm from head to toe.
Naturally, Chen Mu's face was also filled with embarrassment.
After all, this really was his fault. If he had honestly walked to Asta's room, none of this would have happened.
"This really was my fault. Sorry. But... that was my First Kiss too..." Chen Mu muttered.
"You're still talking about it!"
Asta glared at Chen Mu with a flushed face, her cute expression shy and indignant.
What did whether it was a First Kiss or not have to do with her?!
It sounded like she wasn't having her First Kiss too.
"Anyway, hurry up and remove the Teleportation Anchor you hid in my room. This is way too much," Asta said.
"Uh, I didn't set a Teleportation Anchor in your room."
Chen Mu broke out in a cold sweat.
No matter what, he wasn't that deranged, was he?
"What?" Asta froze at his words, her face full of confusion.
Chen Mu explained, "You can just think of it as me awakening Qlipoth's Space ability. I can freely travel through space without relying on those things."
Asta: "???"
What did he mean, just think of it as him awakening Qlipoth's Space ability?
That was an Aeon!
The Trailblaze Aeon!!!
Asta's mouth fell open, and she was completely dumbfounded.
She was stunned.
Truly stunned.
Chen Mu being able to create a Teleportation Array had already been enough to shock everyone, but now he directly possessed a Space ability...
Asta felt her mind buzzing.
"Xiao Mu... you aren't the reincarnation of the Trailblaze Aeon, are you?" Asta stared blankly at Chen Mu and murmured.
Chen Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How could that be possible? Which part of me looks like an Aeon? I'm just an ordinary human."
"If you aren't an Aeon reincarnated, how could you develop a Teleportation Array? How could you possess an Aeon's power?" Asta pressed on, her gaze deeply suspicious.
Chen Mu flicked Asta on the forehead and said, "Stop overthinking it. I can't possibly be an Aeon reincarnated."
"How is it impossible? It's obviously very possible." Seeing how resolute Chen Mu was, Asta could only mutter softly.
After all, judging from all the signs, how could the possibility be small?
Seeing Asta like this, Chen Mu was helpless, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that because she had been so shocked, she had temporarily forgotten about what happened earlier and calmed down.
"Alright, that isn't important. Asta, I actually came to see you because I have something to tell you," Chen Mu seized the chance to say.
"What is it?" Asta asked.
Chen Mu said, "I might be leaving the Space Station tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know."
"Huh? You're leaving the Space Station?!"
Upon hearing this, Asta immediately tossed aside the question of whether her little brother was the Trailblaze Aeon. She brought her entire face close to Chen Mu's and cried out in surprise.
"Where are you going? I want to go too!"
Looking at the delicate face before him, Chen Mu coughed dryly and leaned back slightly.
"Well, that probably won't work... Next time. If there's a chance next time, I'll take you with me."
Chen Mu didn't mind taking Asta to the Demon Slayer World.
But the problem was... he had no Points.
His Points had even gone negative.
Though he earned Points quickly, he spent them quickly too. A million Points was nothing to him.
"Wah, I understand!"
At his words, Asta puffed out her cheeks, clearly a little upset.
But she was not someone who made trouble without reason, so naturally, she did not say anything more.
"Alright, then I'll be leaving first. Don't worry, I won't be gone long. I'll be back soon."
