Spicy Hot Pot for Six Yuan

The war had finally ended. As for the postwar conference and how negotiations would proceed aboard the Zhiyuan, Chen Mu did not pay much attention to it.

With Zheng Xian helping out, China over there had a thorough understanding of future developments.

With the help of all kinds of information, the old predecessors now had a crystal-clear grasp of what resources could be found where on Earth.

Therefore, Chen Mu did not need to worry. The old predecessors would naturally negotiate for their own interests and those of their descendants.

It was worth mentioning that Zheng Xian had also received instructions from China in the Main World to help China establish the same God Spear Bureau in this World No. 1.

In that era, there was no shortage of powerful warriors. Selecting a group of strong fighters to form the God Spear Bureau would not be difficult.

At the same time, Zheng Xian had discussed this with Chen Mu before. Since many worlds had China and Descendants of the Yellow Emperor who shared the same roots, they might as well expand the Celestial Court into a multiversal organization rather than confining it to their own universe.

PS: The multiversal organization would continue using the name Celestial Court, while the system would be used to recreate the Celestial Court as the base camp of multiversal China.

In other words, China would establish God Spear Bureaus in every world, and those God Spear Bureaus would all be directly overseen by the Celestial Court.

The Celestial Court would become a multiversal organization exclusive to the Descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

Although Chen Mu had only come into contact with these two universes so far, he had already mastered technology capable of crossing the multiverse.

Chen Mu could rapidly increase the number of members in the Celestial Court’s affiliated organizations.

He would make the Celestial Court into a true behemoth spanning countless universes.

What Deviant Time Administration? Before the Celestial Court, it was nothing but a little brother.

"I’m in a pretty good mood today. Let’s go have some spicy hot pot to celebrate my birthday."

"…"

Hadn’t you already celebrated your birthday before leaving the Main World? And now you were doing it again?

Although Xu Jia was speechless at Chen Mu’s excuse, she did not say anything. She was happy too, and without a few drinks, it would be hard to release the joy in her heart.

"Come on, come on. I know a spicy hot pot place that tastes amazing and is cheap too. A bowl only costs six yuan."

"Let’s go." Xu Jia rolled her eyes. You were a billionaire, for heaven’s sake. What kind of invitation was six-yuan spicy hot pot? Was that appropriate?

Still, since she was in such a good mood, Xu Jia went with Chen Mu toward the spicy hot pot place he had mentioned.

"So, what exactly did I do?"

Early the next morning, Chen Mu stared blankly at the spots of red on the bedsheet and could not help sinking into thought.

He was screwed. Totally screwed!

They had both been in especially good moods the day before and ended up drinking a few too many cups. After eating spicy hot pot, riding the effects of the alcohol, they opened a portal and arrived in Chen Mu’s bedroom.

And then…

There was no then. By the time Chen Mu woke up, Xu Jia had already vanished to who knew where.

"Damn, what am I supposed to do now?"

Chen Mu scratched his head, feeling rather awkward. He thought to himself that since he could not hold his liquor, he should drink less in the future.

Drinking really messed things up.

"Ahem, Xu Jia is usually pretty busy, so I won’t call and disturb her."

As a playboy, Chen Mu now had an endless lifespan. How could he waste his time agonizing over romantic entanglements?

So he might as well be a heartless scumbag who hit it and quit it.

"I’d better stay out of Xu Jia’s sight for a while. Yeah, I need to find somewhere to hide."

Thinking about how his parents knew Xu Jia, Chen Mu could not help getting a headache. If he was in such a good mood, why couldn’t he have followed Tony’s example and dated a fashion magazine cover girl?

What the hell had possessed him to take Xu Jia out for spicy hot pot?

Wasn’t that just courting death?

"I have to hide. I need to find a way to muddle through this… Hmm…"

Time was the best solution. If he made use of time, the problem should not be too serious, right?

And when it came to using time, the first thing Chen Mu thought of was naturally the Time Stone, which was still in his possession.

Ancient One had not come to ask Chen Mu to return the stone, so it was still in his hands.

"What if I use the Time Stone to travel two years into the future? By then, time should have washed all this away, right?"

Chen Mu scratched his head, having thought of this solution.

But he immediately shook his head and rejected it.

He still remembered what Observer Uatu had said. Because of his special nature as a transmigrator, he should not casually travel through time in the world where he was, or it would lead to unforeseeable consequences.

Who knew whether using the Time Stone to travel through time in this world would cause some kind of trouble?

Everything in the Main World today had been achieved through Chen Mu’s tremendous efforts. He did not want a simple trip through time to ruin it all.

So that method was definitely out.

"But speaking of the Observer, doesn’t time flow differently in the Observer’s space?"

So if he went to chat with Uatu, perhaps two years would pass just like that.

"Let’s do it."

After leaving a message, Chen Mu summoned a Multiversal Mirror Image, opened a portal, and stepped straight through it, arriving in a familiar place.

Not far away, Uatu stood there with an expressionless face.

"Hi, Uatu. Long time no see."

Chen Mu greeted him with a smile, though he was secretly calculating the time. He still needed to return to the Main World on schedule, lest he went back late and found that ten or eight years had passed there.

"To me, you were gone for less than a minute."

Uatu spoke expressionlessly.

After all, judging by how Chen Mu had spent a few minutes in this space before while half a year had passed in the Main World, Chen Mu spending two months in the Main World really had been less than a minute for Uatu.

"Those are trivial matters. By the way, does every one of these mirror images represent a world?"

Chen Mu decisively changed the subject, looking at the countless mirror images on both sides and asking curiously.

"Yes. There are an infinite number of worlds here."

Uatu nodded and answered Chen Mu’s question.

"That means I can go to these worlds? I’m planning to create a multiversal Celestial Court belonging to China. Can I develop it in these worlds too?"

Looking at the countless mirror images, Chen Mu was full of curiosity.

Every one of these worlds was an independently existing universe, which meant China might exist in every one of them.

"Yes."

Uatu nodded, still expressionless.

"Then can I go to these worlds? You won’t interfere with me, will you?"

Hearing Uatu’s words, Chen Mu’s eyes immediately lit up.

"I am an Observer. I will not interfere with any of your actions."

Uatu nodded and spoke expressionlessly.

Besides, Chen Mu could already go to those worlds on his own, so Uatu could not be bothered to interfere.

As an Observer, he even hoped Chen Mu would stir up more trouble and give him something fresh to watch.

Watching roughly the same melodramatic stories every moment of every day had long since given Observer Uatu aesthetic fatigue. He was looking forward to something different.
