1351 Flying Through Meghilars
Ning flew through space at more than half the speed of light. This speed was not one that required him to use Energy at all and was instead something that was his skill after having bought it from the system's shop.
The speed at which he flew made time pass so much slower for him than the others who were back on the planet he had just left behind.
Dozens of years, if not more, would pass in the time a single year would pass for Ning. Still, even at this speed, it would take Ning over 5 years of his personal time to intercept the Constellation that was currently making its way somewhere.
Ning didn't know much about the constellation he was going to visit except for its name, Farhalys. He had given the system a very simple criteria so that he could acquire his energy.
He wanted a constellation that was close and could easily be linked and consumed. There were many such constellations that the System had found, and this was the closest one, and also the first one it recommended Ning go for.
"Status." Ning hadn't checked his status page in a very long time. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
[Status
Name: Ning Ruogong
Energy: 22.25 Quintillion Energy
Skills:...]
Ning couldn't help but give a somewhat dry laugh when he saw the numbers. When he first resumed his journey, he had over 31 Quintillion energy. After spending 22 years on the planet, he was left with less energy than he had started with.
And it was all because of the continent he had to return to the planet.
'No worries,' he thought to himself. 'I'll have a lot more in just a few years.' Ning could wait for that time.
There were many other incredible sights along the way, all of which Ning enjoyed the most he could.
Then, after what felt like a rather long time to him, he was close enough to the Constellation that he had come looking for.
'Finally,' Ning thought. 'I'll get my energy now.'
The place he was at currently was further away from any stars for a couple of light years at the very least. He stopped at the place and waited.
The Constellation was in move and would cross paths right here in a couple of minutes.
'How is he traveling?' Ning wondered. That had been a question that had appeared in the back of his mind for a long time but had never surfaced enough for him to want to ask the system about it.
A Constellation should have been teleporting, not traveling through space. There had to be a reason why it was doing that, and Ning was more than curious to find out the reason.
He looked in the distance and soon enough he could see a very tiny glimmer of something that approached in his direction.
Ning frowned a little. For something to be visible from that distance, the object had to be massive. But then, what was any massive object doing with a Constellation on it?
As it got closer, Ning started seeing more of it. And the closer it got, the more Ning could see what it was.
When it was the closest, Ning's eyes went wide in shock.
'Holy shit!' he thought.
What was approaching him was a giant spaceship, the size of a massive island.
