Chapter 125 Returning Home

Two days later, at the center of West Cloud Planet.

A medium-sized civilian spacecraft slowly left the ground and accelerated. Soon, it broke through the atmosphere and entered the starry sky.

According to the spacecraft number X-881C, after it left West Cloud Planet, it would take 27 hours of conventional space travel and perform a super spatial jump through three stargates to reach the end of this journeythe Vika Goddess Star System located 18.7 degrees outside the spiral arm at the bottom of West Cloud Planet 117 light-years away.

West Cloud Planet did not have a travel route that went straight to Chu Nan’s home planet, the Purple Cloud Planet. Chu Nan could only go to the Vika Goddess Star System and transfer to another line. When he arrived at the Akua Star System 65 light-years away from the Purple Cloud Planet, he could return to the Purple Cloud Planet by transferring to a short-range space flight line.

“No wonder you haven’t returned home in the past two years. This trip back is too troublesome. If it was me, I wouldn’t have returned.” Dong Fang glanced at the Chu Nan’s home route displayed on his personal terminal and could not help but shake his head and sigh.

“You speak as if you’ve returned home in the past two years.” Chu Nan rolled his eyes.

“Ha, I don’t want to return. It’s still different from you not being able to return,” Dong Fang said proudly, “If I really want to go home, I only need to make a transfer. It’s not as troublesome as you.”

After saying that, before Chu Nan could answer, he sighed with emotion, “Sigh, in the end, there are still too few stargates developed by the federation, causing the space flight lines to be pitifully few. If only… not to mention the Declan Empire, it would be better to have stargates connecting every two galaxies like the United States of Melaita.”

“In your dreams.” Chu Nan rolled his eyes at him, “It has been more than ten thousand years since the United States of Melaita entered the era of the Great Milky Way. It’s the oldest country outside the Orion Arm. Our Earth Federation has only been around 700 years, so how can we compare to them?”

“That’s not necessarily true. If the federation can deepen their cooperation with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and obtain their full support, I’m certain that in less than a hundred years, the stargate in the federation will be everywhere.”

Chu Nan’s heart stirred.

Speaking of cooperating with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, he thought of the research help proposed by Yu Tingfeng.

Just this morning, after knowing that Chu Nan was going to leave West Cloud Planet on the space flight line in the afternoon, Yu Tingfeng even personally came to meet him. While passing him the things he needed, he reiterated the suggestion he had given Chu Nan previously.

According to him, as long as Chu Nan was willing, he only needed to make a trip to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce in his free time to help them complete some research work and he could obtain at least 50,000 federation coins every time.

This job was not forcing Chu Nan to participate. Participation was up to him and Yu Tingfeng even guaranteed that it would not cause any problems for him. It simply made Chu Nan unable to find any reason to reject.

Moreover, he had no right to reject it.

Chu Nan’s goal was to enter Star Cloud Academy. However, other than the extremely difficult entrance exam, there was another even more important problem-he had to spend money. Firstly, as the number one academy in the federation, according to the information Dong Fang had helped Chu Nan find, the minimum tuition fee every year was 100,000 federation coins, which far exceeded West Cloud Academy.

In addition, Star Cloud Academy was located in the capital star system of the Earth Federation—the Solar System.

The consumption level of the capital was extremely high. According to Dong Fang’s estimation, no matter how frugal Chu Nan was, his living expenses could not be lower than 30,000 federation coins.

If he added up the other additional costs, if Chu Nan wanted to study in Star Cloud Academy, he would need to spend at least 150,000 federation coins every year.

With Chu Nan’s parents’ income, they had already done their best to maintain his studies in West Cloud Academy.

It was clearly unrealistic to make them pay more than twice the price after entering Star Cloud Academy.

Chu Nan’s original plan was to rely on the 100,000 federation coins reward for the first year of tuition after obtaining the 100,000 federation coins reward for those below the age of 20 in the martial arts competition. Then, he would learn and find a job opportunity to maintain it as much as possible.

As for the future… he could only take it one step at a time. He could not think too far ahead.

After all, he did not even know if he could enter Star Cloud Academy.

However, now that Yu Tingfeng had proposed such a task of assisting in research, it could be said to have solved Chu Nan’s pressing problem. Therefore, not only did he not have the qualifications to reject, he even had to thank Yu Tingfeng for giving him such an opportunity.

He did not know what research work the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had that required a mere Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist like him to participate in, but because of this, he did not have to worry about what the Noctem Chamber of Commerce would do to a mere Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist like him. There was no reason to worry too much.

After chatting with Chu Nan for a while, Dong Fang returned to his seat and opened his personal terminal to log into the Milky Way Network

Seeing him twisting around in his seat in displeasure, Chu Nan could not help but smile.

In order to complete this trip with him, Dong Fang chose to go to the same space flight line as Chu Nan. He did not choose the other one that was faster. Moreover, he bought an economic cabin like Chu Nan and did not go to the more comfortable business class.

This 27-hour journey would undoubtedly be a considerable torture for him.

Chu Nan retracted his gaze and turned to look out the window. He also opened his personal terminal and chose to connect.

Soon, the screen lit up, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a surprised smile.

“Heh, Little Nan, looking at the background, you’ve already boarded the ship, right?”

Chu Nan smiled, “Yes, I’ve already boarded the spaceship. I’ve already flown out of West Cloud Planet and can reach the Vika Goddess Star System tomorrow. Dad, where’s Mom?”

This middle-aged man who looked and wore very simple clothes was Chu Nan’s father, Chu Zhongping.

“Your mother is killing a sheep now.” Chu Zhongping replied with a smile, “Do you want me to call her over?”

“Killing a sheep? What for?” Chu Nan asked in surprise.

“Nonsense, of course I’m waiting for you to come back to eat. Don’t you like to eat mutton the most? It’s not easy for you to come back, and your mother is extremely happy. If not for me stopping her, do you believe that she would kill all the sheep in the family?” Chu Zhongping laughed loudly.

Chu Nan could not help but smile as a warm feeling arose in his heart.

After the news of him falling into a coma because of his serious injuries after the battle spread through the media, his parents did not hesitate to rush over from the distant Purple Cloud Planet.

After taking care of him for half a month, because he was really worried about his family’s matters and Chu Nan’s situation was continuously improving, he received special attention from the West Cloud Planet’s government and was taken care of very well. Only then did they return under Dong Fang’s advice.

Later on, after he finally woke up, his father, Chu Zhongping, rushed over from the Purple Cloud Planet again. He accompanied Chu Nan for three days and saw that everything was normal before he was persuaded by Chu Nan.

Due to Chu Nan’s serious injuries, his parents became deeply suspicious and worried about his continued studies in West Cloud Academy. Therefore, when Chu Nan expressed his intention to withdraw from the academy, the two of them chose to support him without any doubts.

According to Chu Zhongping, even if Chu Nan did not do anything, as long as he was fine, the couple would be satisfied.

“Hmm… Hmm… I’ll make two rounds after reaching the Vika Goddess Star System. I’ll be home in about three days. Hmm… Hmm… I understand. I’ll be careful…”

After chatting with his father and his mother who had rushed over, Chu Nan hung up the communication and raised his head to look at the brilliant sea of stars outside the window. He took a deep breath.

It was understandable that his parents did not want him to continue practicing martial arts. After all, the battle with Maruk had injured him greatly and he had almost been given a death notice by the doctor.

As parents, they naturally did not want their son to face such a dangerous situation again.

However, if that was the case, how should Chu Nan tell them that he wanted to enter Star Cloud Academy?
