Green Snake Snake: Wait… this nickname?
Green Snake Snake: Elysia!!!
Green Snake Snake: Change my nickname back right now.
Pink Fairy: Oh my, Elysia doesn't know what you're talking about, Mobius~
Green Snake Snake: …
"Green Snake Snake" has requested to leave the group chat.
Request denied.
Group Owner "Pink Fairy" left a message: Aww, don't be mad~ I'll change it back, okay?
"Green Snake Snake" has been renamed to "Infinite Serpent" by Group Owner "Pink Fairy."
Starry Painter: Elysia, you shouldn't bully Granny Mobius.
Infinite Serpent: …
Fleeting Dream: Understood. I'll bring Mei and the others back now.
Figure Collector: Got it, Wu Tong.
Figure Collector: I'll go find Theresa and the others. @Fleeting Dream, Hua, you go ahead with Mei's group first.
Fleeting Dream: Mm, that works. Thanks, Dan Zhu.
…
Wu Tong couldn't help but shake his head as he read the messages in the group chat. It was a good thing it was Elysia—anyone else would've been dragged into Mobius's lab by now.
After that, Wu Tong stopped paying attention to the chat.
After all, even if some people hadn't seen the messages, Elysia would undoubtedly drag them over eventually.
Putting away his phone, Wu Tong led Kiana back to the bedroom.
Looking at the somewhat cramped space before him, Wu Tong frowned slightly before lightly lifting his foot. The moment his sole touched the ground, spatial energy surged forth.
As his foot made contact with the floor, ripples spread outward from the point of impact, growing larger as they expanded.
Then, with a resonant boom—
The ripples crashed against the walls, but instead of dissipating, they triggered a spatial distortion that pushed the walls backward. The surrounding walls offered no resistance, forced to retreat by the undulating waves.
Bit by bit, the bedroom's space was stretched open by the spatial ripples.
Finally, once the room had expanded to the size of a basketball court, Wu Tong ceased manipulating spatial authority.
After Wu Tong finished expanding the space, Kiana dashed out of the bedroom, curious to see how the house had suddenly grown larger.
But when she stepped outside, she found that the house's exterior remained unchanged.
Puzzled, Kiana ran back inside, scratching her head.
The interior had definitely been enlarged—so why wasn't the outside affected?
After running back and forth a few times, Kiana finally pieced it together: Wu Tong had used some method to expand the space inside the house without altering its external appearance.
"Wow, Wu Tong! How did you do that? The inside and outside don't match at all!"
"Just a minor application of spatial manipulation. The principle is simple—by folding space in a targeted manner and flipping the folded segments to overlay onto reality, the internal space can be expanded without changing the building's external dimensions. If you hadn't given the Core of the Void to Sirin, you might've been able to do it too."
"Oh, I see."
???
Did this dummy just get smarter?
Wu Tong raised an eyebrow. "Did you actually understand that?"
Kiana shook her head. "Nope! But it sounds impressive. Not being able to use it doesn't matter, though—it's not like I really need it anyway."
Seeing Kiana's clueless grin, Wu Tong let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. I thought she'd actually gotten smarter for a second. Still the same old amoeba, I see.
Shaking his head, Wu Tong then used the Authority of Reason to conjure an enormous rotating table large enough to seat everyone. He placed it in the center of the newly expanded bedroom.
Next, he took out the Gourmet Tablecloth and began preparing a feast, motioning for Kiana to help carry dishes to the table.
Before long, everyone had arrived. Upon seeing the altered space, they couldn't help but marvel.
"Whoa, Boss Wu Tong! This ability is amazing! Can you expand my room too? Mine's kinda small…"
After hearing from Kiana what Wu Tong had done, Pardo made a beeline for him, clinging to his leg with a pleading look.
"Alright, alright, fine. I'll do it. Pardo, let go first—there are people watching."
Wu Tong relented with a resigned sigh.
"Hehe, thanks a ton, Boss Wu Tong!"
Once he agreed, Pardo released his leg, stood up, dusted off her knees, and scampered off to rejoin the others, her cat罐头 in tow.
"My, it seems Wu Tong didi is quite accommodating~"
Having learned Wu Tong's true age from Fu Hua, Elysia's address for him had shifted from "Wu Tong" to "Wu Tong didi" (little brother).
"Heh."
Mobius had no comment on Elysia's remark.
Why does Pardo's request get approved, but mine doesn't? Unbelievable.
(Wu Tong: Have you even heard the kind of requests you make?
Asking for my hair and nails is one thing, but you want bodily fluids too?
I'm not your lab rat. Know your place.
I'm your boss, you lunatic.)
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's take our seats. Tonight's a good chance to gather before we leave tomorrow."
The moment Wu Tong finished speaking, the atmosphere grew heavy. Quickly, he lightened the mood.
"No need to be so gloomy. It's not like we're never coming back. You can return anytime you want."
Hearing this, the group's spirits lifted somewhat.
With that, the soon-to-depart group began toasting and bidding farewell to their newfound friends.
—Several Hours Later—
Seeing nearly everyone passed out drunk, Wu Tong set down his cup, deciding against another drink.
He shook his head in exasperation.
"I told you not to overdo it. This is spiritual wine—brewed with countless rare herbs. It won't harm your body, but the aftereffects are strong."
"Besides, I just said we're not leaving forever. Was this really necessary?"
With an eye-roll, Wu Tong glanced at the unconscious crowd before turning to the few still awake.
"Give me a hand. Let's get them back to their rooms."
Once they agreed, Wu Tong and the remaining sober individuals carried everyone to their respective quarters.
…
After ensuring everyone had been safely returned, Wu Tong made his way back to his room.
With a casual wave, he tossed the post-banquet trash into a simulated black hole.
The pile of debris was instantly torn apart by the invisible gravitational forces, twisted and crushed until it dissolved into elementary particles.
With the unsightly mess now dealt with…
