"Don't talk about these things anymore. Do you see that house?" Lin Feng pointed to one among a row of simple prefab houses that was different in color. "That's your residence."
"Shall we go take a look together?"
As an Elder, even if Xixing didn't care, there had to be something that distinguished them from ordinary Star Clan members.
The three walked towards the house, one after another.
The prefab house specifically reserved for Xixing was larger than the others.
The facilities inside were also more luxurious.
All other prefab houses had solar panels.
Xixing's house, however, was powered by a small reactor that Tony had used in his previous generation.
By normal calculations, it would last for several hundred years.
After placing her luggage in the storage room and a brief tour, Xixing and Lin Feng sat down.
Chuxing, meanwhile, took her share of the package and ran to the bedroom she had chosen.
Over the years, she had collected many strange trinkets, including a pile of peculiar items given to her by the holographic computer during past missions.
As soon as she put away a singing super-robot vacuum cleaner, the little girl started humming along and arranging her room.
She was very perceptive, realizing that her sister and Lin Feng had something to discuss, and discreetly slipped away.
In the living room.
"As expected, the Star Clan's decision to follow you was the right one."
After sitting down, Xixing sighed with emotion.
In just three to four days, this planet had transformed from a barren land into its current state.
Xixing even felt a sense of unreality at times. If not for the fact that there were only a hundred clan members now, she would have doubted that the Star Clan had even gone through that destruction.
All of this was thanks to Lin Feng.
Setting aside the supplies, the means of transportation Lin Feng had left behind were already an unfathomable treasure.
The Infinity Stones, cosmic treasures that could not be bought for billions or tens of billions.
Lin Feng's agreement to the Star Clan's allegiance was a great fortune for them.
This powerful patron was unimaginably significant.
Lin Feng chuckled in response, not refuting her words.
"The current prefab houses are also temporary accommodations."
"I'll leave the two hundred and one Legion members with you to help with the construction."
"As I said before, you don't need to worry about loyalty and security," Lin Feng emphasized.
"Later on, I will arrange for more powerful teams to guard the Star Clan."
"If you encounter any insurmountable problems, you still have my distress beacon."
"In addition, I've brought a large quantity of food and daily necessities this time, enough for you to use for a long period."
"I've already inquired about their preferences, and the food is all to their liking."
Lin Feng's instructions were met with Xixing lowering her head and listening intently.
She subtly touched the distress beacon she always wore.
His words made her feel a long-lost sense of security, of being protected.
This feeling had been absent for hundreds of years since the arrival of the space pirates.
"Yes, I'll do as you say."
"With these resources, we can begin production soon."
"Believe me, the potions made by the Star Clan will not disappoint you."
Xixing said with full confidence.
Lin Feng's dedication to the Star Clan meant that they certainly wouldn't let him down.
Lin Feng, however, chuckled and responded nonchalantly, "Alright, I'll be looking forward to it."
After a moment's thought, Lin Feng added, "But don't push yourselves too hard."
"Basic development is still the most important thing."
"As for potions, to be honest, money doesn't mean much to me anymore."
"I can't stay here for long, so you'll have a lot of hard work ahead of you!"
Xixing shook her head.
"That's not something to worry about. The Star Clan has endured, and at least now we are developing in a positive direction."
"In a few more days, the earth's energy will give birth to the next batch of clan members."
"And in this next batch, it should be the combat-sequence Star Clan members."
"The future will definitely be better!"
Xixing clenched her small fist, her eyes filled with hope, full of confidence and drive.
Even her tail behind her wagged happily, mirroring her surging emotions.
Lin Feng forced himself to look away from her tail. "It's good that you think that way."
"I should be leaving now. I'll introduce someone to you later."
"If you need anything in the future, just tell him directly. Don't be polite with him!"
"As for Black Cat..." Lin Feng paused, searching for Black Cat's location.
"Let it stay here for now."
Black Cat, at some point, had dug a large hole outside the residential area and gone inside to sleep as if in hibernation.
It had already swallowed the Infinity Stone.
In Lin Feng's sight, the Infinity Stone within its belly was continuously releasing energy, darting around erratically.
It was quite similar to how Lin Feng absorbed the Infinity Stones.
He had originally intended to bring this little... this big fellow back to Blue Star, but it seemed Black Cat wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
What a miraculous creature...
Xixing had no objections to Lin Feng's arrangements.
After staying for a day, Lin Feng left with Tony.
He also took a shipping container of materials with him.
Lin Feng gave Xixing another communicator, allowing her to contact Tony at any time, with no delay.
Whatever they needed, they could just ask Tony for it.
The Symbiotic Legion remained with the Star Clan.
Lin Feng sent Tony back to Blue Star, where Tony immediately began his research on the collected materials and the continuation of the first generation of Symbiotes.
An excited Tony seemed to have returned to his youthful days.
On Blue Star, there was nothing left that could pique his curiosity.
Meanwhile, the research progress on the Sanctuary II, which Lin Feng had left behind, had reached the halfway point.
He had a premonition that when Sanctuary II was fully deciphered, it would be the official fanfare for his journey into the vast universe.
Finally having arranged all these matters, Lin Feng felt a sense of relief and could finally focus on researching the Cosmic Cube in peace.
He decided to act on his thoughts and traveled into space.
Researching the Cube on Blue Star risked the planet's destruction in case of an accident.
Lin Feng found a desolate, uninhabited planet, intending to work on the Cube there.
However, he didn't take out the Cosmic Cube immediately.
Instead, he first produced the small booklet about the Cosmic Cube that Queen Frigga had given him.
He had no idea where she had gotten it.
The booklet was thin, with only a few pages.
Lin Feng flipped open the cover.
The first thing he saw was an illustration of the Cube.
It indicated the Cube's origin, method of creation, and types.
Lin Feng scanned it quickly, reading line by line.
He already knew the method of creation.
In the Marvel Universe, a certain number of beings knew how to create the Cosmic Cube.
However, knowing was one thing; being able to meet the conditions and actually create a Cube was not a simple matter.
First, one had to find a way to connect with that interdimensional race.
