525: The goal Dr. Bai set for himself

The new era's anime conventions, compared to those of the old era, can only be described with four words: far ahead.

Virtual projections project virtual characters from anime, manga, and games into reality.

Neural sensors connect to the human nervous System, providing real-time tactile and olfactory feedback when touching virtual character projections.

Therefore, snuggling with paper-thin wives and husbands is no longer a fantasy, but a reality that can be achieved.

Furthermore, as long as one doesn't mind that the children born might not be able to Awaken their innate abilities and would have extremely poor Aptitude for martial arts, it is not impossible to have children with paper-thin wives and husbands in a special birthing pod at a hospital after applying and being approved.

At this very moment.

As Yang Dian casually pushed the virtual projector aside, cutting off its power, the two-dimensional fans who were snuggling with their paper-thin wives and husbands immediately erupted into chaos.

"Where's my wife? Where's my wife?"

"Ah, my husband is gone too!"

"What the heck? Did our group transmigrate? Where did such a tall ancient building come from?"

"Is it a virtual projection or something? Is the organizer planning a special event?"

"I didn't receive any news! This surprise is too sudden!"

The two-dimensional fans attending the anime convention on Canglan Star shouted and yelled at the Wenlan Pavilion, while Earthlings watching the convention via live stream on Earth noticed a key detail.

"Is that the Commander of the Expeditionary Force standing in the corner of the square?"

As the bullet screen comments appeared, more people noticed Yang Dian standing with Dr. Bai.

"Isn't the Commander of the Expeditionary Force fighting on an Alien Planet? Why is he suddenly at an anime convention on Mars?"

"The Commander of the Expeditionary Force doesn't seem very old, does he? It's normal for him to like anime and games before he started practicing martial arts, right?"

"Are you saying the Commander of the Expeditionary Force is a two-dimensional fan like us?"

"What the heck? Our two-dimensional fans have risen up?"

"Wake up, upstairs! That ancient building in the central square clearly looks like something the Commander of the Expeditionary Force brought back from another world. I just used AI to translate the text on the plaque, and it translated to [Wenlan Pavilion]. The AI's note for Wenlan Pavilion is 'This building is where the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty of Canglan Star stores books and other crystallizations of civilization's wisdom.' So, there's no doubt, the Commander of the Expeditionary Force didn't go to the central square to attend the anime convention; he simply went there to place the Wenlan Pavilion."

"So the question is, Earth is so big, why would the Commander of the Expeditionary Force put something as important as the Wenlan Pavilion on Mars?"

"And another question arises: what are Canglan Star and the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty? Did the Commander of the Expeditionary Force secretly invade another world by himself?"

"Huh? Are you saying the Commander of the Expeditionary Force single-handedly snatched the Scripture Pavilion, where Cultivation Techniques are stored, from an Immortal Dynasty-level force in another world?"

"The Commander of the Expeditionary Force seems to have become even more handsome. I can't even imagine how good-looking the children I'd have with him would be."

"The person upstairs is a bit useless; you can't even imagine that? I imagine it all the time, three times a day."

"Something's not right; why does the profile upstairs show male?"

Amidst the online commotion, Yang Dian naturally remained unaware.

However, he did notice the commotion caused by the two-dimensional fans whose anime convention activities had been disrupted.

Looking at the two-dimensional fans crying and wailing after losing their paper-thin wives and husbands, Yang Dian shook his head slightly:

'Although I didn't have too many expectations for the people who immigrated to Mars.'

'But these people...'

Sighing softly, Yang Dian tapped his wristband again:

"Zero, help me send a message to the Mars immigrants, telling them that due to a sudden temporary event, the central square has been requisitioned, and the anime convention is ending early."

"Then notify Yinghuo to arrange the anime convention venue in the second square within half an hour and redirect these people there."

Yinghuo is Mars, and also the name of the Mars base city's artificial intelligence, controlling 99% of the city's permissions.

For it to rearrange an anime convention venue, it would be as easy as playing a game.

After receiving confirmation from Zero that the message had been sent, Yang Dian looked at Dr. Bai beside him:

"Want to go in and take a look?"

Dr. Bai, who had already been somewhat restless, took the first step:

"Let's go!"

Watching Lao Bai's somewhat hurried demeanor, Yang Dian smiled and followed him into the Wenlan Pavilion, under the somewhat dazed gazes of the two-dimensional cosplayers.

"Uh, if I'm not mistaken, one of the two people who just walked into the building seemed to be the Commander of the Expeditionary Force?"

"You saw it too? I thought I was seeing things!"

No sooner had the two finished speaking than the person beside them laughed:

"What Commander of the Expeditionary Force? You're probably dreaming, aren't you? There are at least eighty, if not a hundred, cosplayers of the Commander of the Expeditionary Force at the anime convention. Isn't it normal for a bolder 'Commander of the Expeditionary Force' to walk into that suddenly appearing ancient building?"

"Normal? Normal my foot! All of us are more than 2,000 meters away from that ancient building, and I saw that person cover more than 2,000 meters in just a few strides. This speed, this innate ability, is that normal? Do we, these useless Mars immigrants, have this kind of strength? If it's normal, you try walking like that!"

"But... even so, you can't say that person is the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, can you?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'm going to try and get an autograph from the Commander of the Expeditionary Force!"

At this point, the blogger cosplaying as Tushan Yaya took out a mirror to touch up her makeup, then picked up a marker pen, threw the stamp-collecting album in her hand to her best friend, and rushed towards the main entrance of the Wenlan Pavilion.

What? You say she threw the book, so where would she get an autograph?

There are plenty of places on the body to sign!

However, what 'Tushan Yaya' didn't expect was that as soon as she ran to the entrance of the Wenlan Pavilion, her path was blocked by a fiercely burning, smoke-shrouded Calamity Star.

This was Yinghuo.

Upon its appearance, it immediately activated its System to scan the 'Tushan Yaya' in front of it.

"Beep ~ Name: Lan Qi'er, Age: 18, Occupation: Student, Identity: Huaxia Citizen, Mars Immigrant."

"Beep ~ According to relevant Materials, you have not yet obtained permission to enter the Wenlan Pavilion. Please immediately leave the ten-meter radius of the Wenlan Pavilion."

Lan Qi'er was stunned upon hearing this:

"You need permission to enter this place?"

Yang Dian naturally didn't know that the permission he casually set up had blocked one of his fangirls.

At this moment, he was touring the Wenlan Pavilion with Dr. Bai, explaining its basic information to him.

After reaching the third floor and finishing the basic explanation, Yang Dian looked at Lao Bai:

"All in all, the Wenlan Pavilion contains the wisdom crystallization of over 1,000 planets and countless civilizations."

"After you fully digest these wisdom crystallizations, will you be able to deal with Stellar-level Star Gods?"

Dr. Bai looked at Yang Dian with some exasperation:

"Why do you always bring up Stellar-level monsters?"

"Are Stellar-level monsters that easy to deal with?"

"This knowledge is gathered from civilizations destroyed by the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty. Their practical application limit does not exceed the Great Yu Celestial Emperor."

"The Great Yu Celestial Emperor was twisted into a pretzel by the Stellar Ancestor in one go. Even if I thoroughly understand all the knowledge in the Wenlan Pavilion, how much higher can my upper limit be?"

As he spoke, Dr. Bai looked at the shelves full of books again:

"However, after digesting this knowledge, a Planet Destroyer Cannon that can shatter a Great Star God is something to look forward to."

Saying that, Lao Bai set a timeframe for himself:

"Ten years."

"Within ten years, I will find a way to build a Planet Destroyer Cannon that can shatter a Great Star God."

Hearing this, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow.

'Ten years, huh?'

In thought, Yang Dian also set a small goal for himself:

Within ten years, possess the strength to directly shatter a Great Star God.

Of course, if he could raise his strength to directly shatter the Stellar Ancestor, that would be even better...
