Chapter 443 World Map
"you you!"
Di Xing didn't respond to Chen Mo, but continued playing and singing, "Her Bluetooth speaker cost a few dozen yuan, playing rewind on a loop~ She's leaning against the window in the corridor, eating her slightly chilled takeout~"
"A girl from a small town who desperately wants to stay in Shanghai—how can I describe her sense of loss and dejection?"
Looking at the towering buildings of the CBD, where is her home? How many square meters is her shared rental apartment? Who remembers her birthday?
"The future always seems uncertain, and the pressures of life are suffocating. Why must we endure so much hardship at such a young and beautiful age?"
She was clutching her pillow tightly, tears streaming down her face. She wondered whether she would stay or leave next year.
As Chen Mo listened to the sentimental song, she realized that the song was describing her.
If the moon hasn't risen yet, the streetlights can still shine on the windowsill, illuminating the delicately blooming white camellias.
As the chorus began, Chen Mo could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve and cried, "What do you want to do?"
Di Xing jumped down from the bookshelf. "I want to vote for the class monitor and secure my future!"
"???"
Di Xing revealed a smug smile. "To be honest, I run a tutoring class outside of school. Although you are the class monitor, your grades are actually just average, right?"
"I already told you I'm not the class monitor!" Chen Mo stomped her foot angrily, but still added in a low voice, "My grades are indeed just average."
"So come join my tutoring class! I guarantee your grades will improve dramatically!"
"But I... I don't have any money."
"I can waive your payment upfront, and if you get first place in the exam, I can even give you a bonus."
"Prize, bonus?"
"Class monitor, you have great potential. As long as you take my course, you'll definitely get first place. How about it? Are you interested?"
"I...I need to think about it."
Because of Di Xing's eloquent and persuasive words, the naturally cautious Chen Mo hesitated.
"Of course, you can get back to me tomorrow, but," Di Xing grinned mischievously, "class monitor, you need to think it over carefully. Opportunities to change one's destiny are rare."
"I...I understand," Chen Mo said hurriedly as she left the library.
The old man who guarded the library noticed Chen Mo, who was in charge of cleaning, rush out of the library. Thinking there was no one left inside, he waved towards the library. The little dog guarding the library came running over, and then the old man locked the door.
Meanwhile, Di Xing remained in the library, researching information.
He searched through the vast sea of books, but found no trace of Earth in any of the countless ancient legends. After searching for a long time, he glanced at the sky and discovered that the moon had already risen in the west.
"It's already past midnight, you should go back and rest."
Di Xing stretched and went to the front door, but found it locked!
Even the little dog that used to guard the gate is gone.
So he hurriedly called Tianxuan, but found the signal was very poor and the call wouldn't go through. He then tried calling several other people, and only Lian Shi got through.
He shouted urgently, "Lian Shi, come save me! They locked me in the library! They've cleaned the floor and taken the dogs, but they left me behind!"
"Ah, what a tragic fate, comrade. I desperately want to save you, but I'm currently fleeing from a powerful enemy and can't even take care of myself."
Di Xing heard faint calls coming from Lian Shi.
"Hey, Lian Shi, the best student in both character and academics, where were you hiding? You're so selfless! You actually sneaked into the women's bathhouse beforehand to test the water temperature for the girls. You're not lecherous at all!"
Uh, the head of student affairs must be pretty tired every day, wait...
"You bastard, you actually went to spy on the women's bathhouse?"
"It was an unsuccessful attempt, that's all for now, comrade. I'm hanging up now."
Lian Shi lowered his voice and then hung up the phone.
"Oh no, what are we going to do?"
Di Xing paced anxiously in the library, then a thought struck him: since he had nothing else to do, why not start an adventure in this library? Maybe it also contained some forbidden books, like those often depicted in movies!
So Di Xing began searching every nook and cranny, and finally he found something that looked like a secret room door in a hidden corner.
But no matter how he fiddled with it, he couldn't open it. Then, a thought struck him. He swiped the black access card, and the door actually opened slowly.
There was a staircase behind him, and he climbed it to the top of the library tower.
Then, the sight before him astonished him.
Beneath a sky full of stars, a girl with long golden hair sat on the ground.
Hearing Di Xing's voice, she slowly turned her head. Against the backdrop of the dark night sky and the bright stars, the girl shone with a divine light, like a princess beloved by all 88 stars in the sky!
(The 88 stars in the sky refer to all 88 constellations)
The girl's lips parted slightly.
"Name?"
Her tone was slightly uneven, and Di Xing guessed that she was asking for his name.
"My name is Di Xing."
"Guest, please have a seat."
The girl pointed to a cushion next to her, and Di Xing quickly sat down. "May I ask what your name is?"
"Xingyao"
"What a poetic name! Are you trapped here too?"
"This is my home."
Does she live here? Like the library sprite Vibaozi in Go Sick, is this Xingyao also a sprite here?
What are you doing?
"Reading the Stars"
Xingyao looked up at the sky again, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
"It seems you really like stars."
Xingyao nodded vigorously and then looked at Di Xing.
"Guest, this is a rare sight. Would you like to ask a question?"
Is this going to answer my question? That's great! "Have you read all the books here?"
The girl nodded.
"I'd like to ask if there's a world map of Enderterra in here? I've been looking through it for ages and haven't found it."
Di Xing had been trying to find a world map of Enderterra, as it's the most direct way to compare its differences with Earth.
Xingyao quietly looked at Di Xing, then waved her small hand.
Suddenly, patterns began to appear on the transparent dome of the tower, and a map of Enderara appeared on the dome.
"Wow, that's so exaggerated!" Di Xing stared in disbelief at the scene.
Then he was somewhat disappointed; the entire landscape of Enderterra was torn to pieces.
While it's somewhat possible to discern that Ndetella is predominantly land in the Northern Hemisphere and ocean in the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere's oceans also contain several independent continents, lacking a vast, open ocean like the Pacific Ocean on Earth.
Is this really Earth? Di Xing couldn't help but wonder.
Di Xing's gaze swept across the Northern Hemisphere, where he saw an ice sheet connecting to the poles, stretching down this vast, icy wasteland.
Suddenly, Di Xing's pupils dilated. He saw an extremely thin line, like an ancient, continuous blood vessel, stubbornly resisting the northern wind and snow.
"That...that place?" Di Xing raised his hand, trembling.
The girl looked in the direction she was pointing and quietly answered.
"Guarding Changyuan"
"Is the Changyuan Guardian... really... the Great Wall?"
