Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chapter 1408 The Mysterious University, the "Space Exploration" Project

Chen Mu knew that Shen Hanmeng didn't use an umbrella because of his claustrophobia.

Even with just a lone umbrella hanging overhead, Shen Hanmeng still felt a sense of oppression, as if she were being pressed down by the lid of the survival pod.

As the newly appointed chief scientist at the Wangjiang Watch Rocket Launch Center, Shen Hanmeng prefers to live in the wild, refusing to seek shelter from the rain and letting it soak her clothes.

I have to say, it really does have a crazy, eccentric feel to it.

This kind of mad, abstract feeling seemed somewhat familiar to Chen Mu.

He couldn't help but think of his high-ranking subordinates.

It seems that almost everyone has a little quirk.

Among the higher-ups, Shen Hanmeng, with his slightly eccentric personality and unique quirks, is surprisingly sociable.

Chen Mu sighed; he realized he seemed to be a god.

Because those who are close to you are slowly becoming like gods.

Chen Mu stopped paying attention to Shen Hanmeng. Anyway, with the rocket launch center taking care of her, Shen Hanmeng wouldn't die.

When Chen Mu returned to the Mountain and Water Courtyard, it was already evening.

Xu Yueji prepared the meal, Cha Cha was lying on the sofa reading a book, and Xiao Xi was playing with Bao Bao.

Chen Mu couldn't help but smile knowingly. He knew that when two kids got into a business, they were probably only enthusiastic for a short time.

Chacha used to cook, and Xiaoxi diligently helped out.

It seems that this was based on the premise that Chen Mu hadn't returned for a long time, and the two children only had a short attention span before preparing dinner for Chen Mu.

I've been back for several days now, and everything is starting to go back to normal.

Chen Mu felt like a student returning home for vacation.

My parents were exceptionally filial to me the past few days, letting me eat whatever I wanted and sleep as late as I wanted.

If I stay at home for more than seven days, I start to become a nuisance to both people and dogs.

For Chen Mu, Cha Cha's performance was about the same as Xiao Xi's.

During dinner, the three of them ate and chatted.

Chen Mu talked about his meeting with Shen Hanmeng today, and also discussed Shen Hanmeng's suggestion of "wandering in space".

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxi immediately stopped eating and looked at Chen Mu with pleading eyes, "Brother Chen, are we really not going to stay here? Are we really going to become homeless?"

It's clear that Xiaoxi has grown quite attached to this place after spending so much time in the human world.

He has already made Chen Mu's place his home.

Chen Mu patted his little head. "What are you thinking about? How could that be? Shen Hanmeng is a scientist; he doesn't consider other factors when he thinks about problems."

For me, Shen Hanmeng's suggestion was just that—a suggestion. And I did take it in, didn't I? At least I supported his development of deep space technology.

If he wants more, then I can't provide it.

He is only a part of Wangjiang Watch. He can follow a technical route, but he is not capable of leading the development of Wangjiang Watch.

"Only I can lead Wangjiang Shouwang's development and determine its future direction."

Chen Mu spoke with a tone full of confidence.

The current Wangjiang Watchtower has many development paths and has accumulated a lot of technological expertise.

Technological approaches such as the Mysterious Aura Technology, the Strongest Path, the Survival Center, and the Beast Cavalry Army are all different technological paths, and the rocket launch center is just one of them.

Chen Mu even suspected that Shen Hanmeng's longing for space might also be related to claustrophobia.

Having endured the devastation of the survival pod, Shen Hanmeng now intensely loathes cramped spaces and desperately craves expansive ones.

This may also be the underlying reason why he was so persistent in promoting "wandering in space" to Chen Mu.

This does not mean that Shen Hanmeng wanted to harm Chen Mu for her own selfish desires.

Because many people don't understand themselves and are unaware of their inner motivation.

Shen Hanmeng didn't even realize that claustrophobia might be his core motivation. Perhaps he attributed everything to his worldview.

In short, Chen Mu is able to accept opinions, but he will not let himself be swayed.

Cha Cha nodded and said, "That's right. Many people in this world have attachments. How can they really be left to wander unattended? Those people wouldn't agree to that."

What Chacha was talking about is one of the social factors.

"What are you thinking? Wandering in space? Space isn't the way out. Rules and unorthodox methods might be the only way to survive," Chen Mu corrected.

However, Cha Cha's words brought a certain figure to Chen Mu's mind.

Duke!

care……

The Duke has always longed for his daughter, but she has yet to be found.

Chen Mu participated in the Ghost Gate nine times, but never found the Duke's daughter among them.

To be honest, Chen Mu is starting to lose confidence because he still hasn't found it.

The Duke's daughter is really good at hiding; how come she hasn't been seen at all?

They were truly neither alive nor dead!

The Duke said that during that bizarre apocalypse, his daughter was probably studying at university.

Even the Duke couldn't say which university he attended.

When Chen Mu thought of "university", an image of a university flashed through his mind.

If we really have to say which university it could be hiding in, then it's only that one university.

Chen Mu once traveled back in time to win over his mother, and that mysterious university appeared there.

To this day, Chen Mu still doesn't know the origin of that university.

Behind that university, there may be intricate connections with one's parents.

Chen Mu guessed that the Duke's daughter was most likely at that university.

If we can find that university, we might be able to find traces of the duke's daughter.

The duke has worked until retirement and still hasn't found a wife for his daughter; that's a bit unreasonable.

Chen Mu decided that he would find out about the origins of the mysterious university when he had the chance.

Wasn't it said that the Lake of Fallen Gods would be revived after one more irrigation? I wonder if we'll be able to communicate directly with it after it's revived.

If you talk to it, many of your questions might be answered.

After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Chen Mu played with the two children for a while, then urged them to go to bed early.

Chen Mu himself went back to his study upstairs and scrolled through his phone for a while.

Being an adult has one advantage: it allows children to go to bed early, while you yourself stay up late scrolling through your phone.

However, Chen Mu no longer had any interest in the forums on his phone.

Because most of the content on the forum was about Chen Mu himself. Looking at his own posts, Chen Mu felt neither a sense of mystery nor a feeling of admiration.

Just as Chen Mu was preparing to take a shower and go to bed, Xu Yueji suddenly found him.

"Is there something urgent happening so late at night?" Chen Mu asked, puzzled.

Generally speaking, Princess Xuyue wouldn't disturb him during his sleeping time. Whatever it is, we can talk about it tomorrow morning.

Unless...some emergency has occurred.
