Chapter 415 Fulfillment and Peace
The perilous exploration of the Weiyang Starfield for the first time was like a bucket of cold and sobering cosmic water, completely extinguishing any recklessness or wishful thinking that might have existed in Yuan Bao's mind.
That pale blue-silver fragment, lying quietly in a specially designed isolation box, serves as a constant reminder of the magnificence and ruthlessness of the deep universe.
Fear did not deter her; instead, it forged a clearer understanding: the journey to the stars requires not only courage, but also the absolute strength to protect oneself and loved ones.
“We can’t rush this.” Yuan Bao stood by the window of the quiet room, watching Xiao Zhi chasing the light butterflies in the courtyard, his gaze calm and firm. “Xiao 9, adjust the follow-up plan. Suspend the exploration of the Weiyang Starfield, and prioritize all resources for basic enhancement.”
"Yes, my lord, I believe this is the wisest choice at present." Little 9's voice carried approval. "Only by laying a solid foundation can we go far and steady. The core goals for the next stage will be the repair and expansion of the spatial core energy, the deep tempering of mental power, the advancement of spatial control precision, and the optimization and upgrading of the Guardian Force Field module."
This understanding and change has also become part of Yuan Bao's and his family's daily life.
She no longer secluded herself in a quiet room to cultivate herself, but instead transformed this pursuit of power into a bond that allowed her to grow together with her family.
“Brother,” Yuan Bao found Yuan Baoguo in the study, who was studying the fragment energy map, “I need the cosmic-level tranquility of your ‘Stardust Core’ to help me stabilize my mental field for high-precision spatial folding training.”
Yuan Baoguo put down the light screen, looked at the calm light in his sister's eyes, and readily agreed: "No problem. The tranquility brought by the Stardust Core does make it easier for me to enter a state of deep thinking, which is perfect for studying how to apply some theoretical models to your spatial manipulation and verify them against each other."
The Stardust Core is no longer just a source of inspiration, but also an anchor point for the brother and sister's coordinated mental training.
“Xiao Zhi,” Yuan Bao squatted down, looking directly into her son’s curious eyes, “Do you want to learn real ‘explorer skills’? Mom will teach you.”
"I want to! I really want to!" Xiao Zhi jumped up and down, his little face shining.
“Okay, let’s start with the basics.” Yuan Bao took his son’s little hand. “Use your ‘observer’s glasses,’ but not to look at the distant stars, but to look at what’s close by—watch how the wind blows the leaves, watch how the water flows over the stones, watch how the light refracts in the air… Then, try to use your little hands to feel the ‘breathing’ of space, to imitate its most subtle flow.”
She transformed the introductory training of spatial awareness into fun and engaging exploration games that Xiaozhi could understand.
Yuan Baoguo would also be there, trying to explain the cosmic laws behind those wondrous phenomena in simple and easy-to-understand language.
Life flows by in this orderly, warm-hearted process of self-cultivation and shared growth.
In the villa, the mornings are a time for Yuan Bao and Xiao Zhi to experience the tranquility of "spatial breathing" in the courtyard; the afternoons are a time for Yuan Bao and Yuan Baoguo to focus on mental collaboration and spatial model deduction in the quiet room; and the evenings are a time for the whole family to sit together and share the heartwarming moments of their day's achievements.
Lin Qing used the "Life-Giving Needle" to weave a thin blanket with a calming and soothing atmosphere, while Yuan Ma prepared a variety of nourishing meals, protecting this hard-won stability and growth in her own way.
Within this peaceful and fulfilling rhythm, a huge ripple, brimming with the joy of life, quietly spreads out.
One evening after dinner, Lin Qing frowned slightly, gently pressed her lower abdomen, and a barely perceptible unease flashed across her face.
She looked up at Yuan Baoguo, her eyes filled with a question and a hint of unbelievable surprise.
Yuan Baoguo immediately noticed the subtle change in his wife. His keen sense as an engineer made him instantly think of a certain possibility, and his breath caught in his throat.
“Qing? You…” Yuan Baoguo’s voice trembled slightly.
Lin Qing took a deep breath, and a gentle, slightly shy smile slowly bloomed on her face as she nodded lightly.
She didn't speak, but the maternal glow and indescribable happiness she exuded said it all.
"Sister-in-law?" Yuan Bao also noticed something was amiss. Seeing the silent exchange between her brother and sister-in-law, a thought flashed through her mind, and she covered her mouth in surprise.
Grandma Yuan, being an experienced woman, noticed her daughter-in-law's reaction and her son's nervous yet overjoyed expression. She slammed the soup spoon down on the table with a clatter, jumped to her feet, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Qingqing! Is...is she pregnant?!"
"Mom..." Lin Qing's cheeks flushed, and under the tense yet expectant gazes of her family, she finally nodded gently, her voice as soft as water: "Yes... I just confirmed with the health monitor at home... it's positive. It should be... more than a month ago."
"Wow—!!!" After a brief silence, a huge cheer erupted!
"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" Yuan Ma was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She rushed over and hugged Lin Qing tightly, crying and laughing at the same time. "My dear Qingqing! Our family is going to have another member! Thank our ancestors!"
Yuan Baoguo was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He hugged his wife tightly, so tightly that Lin Qing let out a soft "ouch." Only then did he realize what was happening and quickly let go. He was as helpless as a young boy, only able to laugh foolishly: "I'm going to be a father? I'm going to be a father!" His calm and self-control was completely destroyed at this moment by the most primal and surging paternal love.
Xiao Zhi stared blankly at the ecstatic adults for a moment, then his eyes widened as he pointed at Lin Qing's belly and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! Auntie has a baby in her belly? I'm going to be a big brother?! Is it true?"
"It's true! Xiaozhi is going to be a big brother!" Yuan Bao picked up his son and happily spun him around.
An immense joy, like a warm tide, instantly engulfed the entire villa.
The gloom and danger of the previous space exploration were completely dispelled by the light of hope brought by the new life.
Everyone's face was beaming with a genuine and radiant smile.
As Yuan Bao watched his brother and sister-in-law embrace each other with joy, as his mother wept with happiness, and as Xiao Zhi danced with excitement, his heart was filled with indescribable emotion and satisfaction.
This wondrous space, this system called "Perfect Life," brings not only material abundance and extraordinary experiences, but also tightly binds together the deepest love and bonds between family members in the warmest and most hopeful way.
From protecting Xiaozhi's childhood, to helping his older brother rediscover his dream of stardom, and then supporting his sister-in-law in finding the power to harmonize her mind and body, now, a new hope symbolizing the continuation of life and the future of the family has arrived.
"Little 9," Yuan Bao murmured to himself, his voice filled with unprecedented calm and certainty, "The exploration of the Weiyang Starfield will be postponed. The highest priority task now is to protect this joy, to protect the continuation of this 'home and light.' We have plenty of time. We will proceed steadily, step by step, to become stronger."
[Command confirmed.] Little 9's voice seemed to carry a warm smile. [Spatial energy allocation adjusted, prioritizing environmental comfort and the needs of life's development. The Guardian Force Field core repair and upgrade plan is being optimized. A calming and soothing program has been added to the Mental Energy Synergy Training module…]
Congratulations, Your Highness. This new hope is the most precious 'completeness' created by you and your family together.
The days seemed to be coated with a softer and brighter luster by this great news.
Yuan Bao continued training with Xiao Zhi and his older brother, but the pace was more relaxed and the atmosphere more warm.
Aside from running his traditional Chinese medicine clinic and occasionally researching fragments, Yuan Baoguo spent most of his time with Lin Qing, taking meticulous care of her.
The Life-Giving Needle in Lin Qing's hand is weaving a soft, natural garment for the soon-to-be-born little life.
Yuan's mother then began rummaging through drawers and cabinets, thinking about how to prepare the most thoughtful clothes and toys for her future grandson.
Xiao Zhi would lie next to his aunt every day, curiously listening to see if the baby was moving, and confidently planning to teach his younger brother/sister to recognize stars, learn to swim, and protect their mother...
In the Space Villa, "Home & Light" has never been so bright and warm.
It is formed by everyone's smiles, expectations, protection, and growth, illuminating the peaceful happiness of the present and the path full of hope and love leading to the future—whether it be the vast universe or the prosperity of the family.
The responsibilities and adventures of the real world, and the fulfillment and tranquility of the game world, achieve perfect harmony at this moment.
Yuan Bao stood in the courtyard, watching the afterglow of the setting sun stretch and intertwine the shadows of his family. He listened to Xiao Zhi and his older brother's innocent yet rigorous discussion of "space breathing," and felt the gentle glow of his sister-in-law as she nurtured new life. His heart was filled with a clear and peaceful tranquility.
She knew that challenges might still lie ahead, and that unsolved mysteries of the universe awaited her exploration.
But at this moment, this sense of fulfillment and hope that fills her heart and flows through her home is her strongest source of power, and the warmest and most resolute way she writes her life story.
