The Blade Warrior couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters, of course; when in doubt, just buy it in a big way. The fatty deeply regretted this matter and, in his own words, "Brother really can't get into this taste."

What annoyed the fatty even more was Kexiao's response when he inquired about his taste in wine. Kexiao didn't display the pride that was expected of him. Instead, he chuckled and replied that drinking wasn't important, what mattered was who you were drinking with. You can drink, but without a story, you can't swallow a drop.

But since it was bought and drunk, the fatty, feeling utterly helpless, had to take out his storage capsule and secretly stash away two bottles. These wines weren't for him to drink, but for sale.

To the rich, money is just a number. The smarty-pants here were abuzz with their little calculations, so on this space shuttle trip, not only did everyone prepare wine, but there was no shortage of fine wines either.

Take the beer for example, zero-degree bottled Snowflake beer, that's an exclusive privilege only the current world presidents can enjoy. Ordinary people can forget about drinking it— they wouldn't even have the means to buy it.

There's also Harbin Beer 1900, and this 1900 isn't just a brand name, it's genuinely a hundred years old preserved frozen wine. Even the president can't get a taste, it might not be the best in flavor, but the historical significance is what counts.

As the Blade Warrior said, it was actually Yita who commissioned Francis, Feng Yi's close friend, to source it through channels unknown. Forget the price, such wine is priceless; all the gold and silver in the world couldn't buy it.

So on their trip back, the fatty might not dare to speak about anything else with certainty, but when it comes to wine, he could absolutely thump his chest and guarantee that inside this time-space shuttle, whether it's fine wines, specialty wines, draft or various other kinds of alcohol, as long as it's a name you can call, they generally have it in spades.

So brother, don't fret over the price, just drink up. After all, we're not spending our own money; we've got a rich backer anyway.

And who might that be? That's the boss of the Combat Power Tester company, not to boast of wealth enough to rival countries, but a rising star in the business world in recent years. Who cares about a little alcohol expense? In short, drink up, drink to your heart's content, however you wish, you can even use the beer as a swimming pool.

Having obviously had a bit too much to drink, the fatty's chatter started to drift, as if everything here belonged to him.

Feng Yi also felt dumbfounded as he listened to the fatty's ramble... When he opened the Space Crystal, he indeed found countless intelligent containers stored inside. Without a doubt, these containers were filled with all sorts of wines. Just use the C device, voice command, or brainwave, and request the flavor you want; an intelligent robotic arm will reach out and deliver the wine right to you.

Feng Yi habitually ordered two bottles of beer, one Snowflake 800 and one Harbin Beer 1900, both of which he had seen in TV commercials. However, because of the expensive prices of alcohol on Colonial Planet 103, especially beer, and the fact that white liquor helps with blood circulation and warming the body, Feng Yi often preferred to drink white liquor.

Well, let's have a taste, thought Feng Yi as he opened up a bottle of Harbin Beer 1900 and took a tentative sip...

In an instant, Feng Yi's gaze shifted from one of scrutinizing the wine to an unprecedented brilliance.

"Not bad, the wine tastes good."

"See, didn't I tell you?" Zhang Xiaobo, the fatty, spoke without any sense of seniority, a "bro" here and a "dude" there, leaving everyone around him speechless...

Hey, you're a man in your thirties, can't you talk about something serious.

But the fatty didn't mind such casual address at all. He was an ordinary person, and isn't using familiar terms how one gets close to others? Besides, due to Feng Yi's relationship, although this Feng Yi isn't the one from his own universe, he's still Feng Yi, so the fatty didn't fuss too much and just called him whatever he wanted.

Turning back to Feng Yi, his eyes were now blazing with fervor. As the ancients said: no business, no harm; no comparison, no good or bad. The saying seemed to make a lot of sense, as the stark difference suddenly brought enlightenment to Feng Yi's eyes.

One could say that all the liquor he had ever drunk before was the product of rough brewing techniques and came from barrels. But it was different for the fatty, the beverages Zhang Xiaobo brought out not only looked refined and beautiful on the outside but the flavor was incomparable to anything on Colonial Planet 103; he had never tasted such delicious wine.

Gulp gulp... A whole bottle went down in an instant.

"Everyone get ready, we are about to start crossing over."

It is at this moment that the Blade Warrior suddenly reminds everyone to sit tight and not to be distracted.

Feng Yi is quite interested in crossing through dimensions, "Is this the subluminal flight often mentioned in TV shows?"

"To correct you, this is not high-velocity flight but a switch between dimensions."

"Dimensional switch?"

"Yes."

The Blade Warrior explains to Feng Yi that the time singularities of two dimensions are not the same, the Time Crystal originates from Four-dimensional Space, and a simple explanation is that the dimensional level of the Time Crystal from the fourth dimension surpasses any substance in the third dimension. What seems like an ordinary Space Crystal contains infinite energy and mass. The only comparison to a human-known object might be a Black Hole.

Logically, such a massive object should sink into the heart of a planet; they should not be able to carry it at all, as its immense mass could even cause spatial fluctuations.

So, why doesn't the Time Crystal sink and yet is so easy to carry? It's because the Space Crystal comes from a higher dimension, and although it looks and feels not so heavy, it is actually due to the compression of third-dimensional space-time.

In other words, the mass of the Space Crystal core itself does not undergo any change, and as the dimensions decrease, the form it presents is just its third-dimensional form.

You should know that dimensional crossing is not a simple matter, just the energy consumption alone is beyond what humanity can currently achieve.

The design of the Paradox Engine, in fact, is to conduct paradox transmission through a medium, uncovering the rules of the fourth dimension.

Based on the currently held brief history of Magic Crystal civilization, the Space Crystal of the fourth dimension can be guided by a special force to uncover the spatial energy of the fourth dimension.

To use a simple and easy-to-understand metaphor, being in the high-density space-time of the fourth dimension, we are unable to open a space tunnel through the crystal because the fourth-dimensional space-time is intrinsically interconnected, and it's out of our depth to perceive its profound implications.

But with the Space Crystal, one that was born in the fourth dimension, we can pass through to the other universes, which are virtually imperceptible to them. It's like a key that allows us to cross over from different angles.

"Do you understand this explanation?"

Feng Yi nods his head but then shakes it, clearly not quite getting it.

"Miss, could you use a simpler metaphor?"

The Blade Warrior sighs in exasperation, "The explanation is not difficult. To use the third spatial dimension as an example, we, who are situated in a high-density dimension, cannot open a space-time tunnel through the crystal; perhaps because the fourth-dimensional space-time is inherently interconnected, it's hard for us who are in this space-time to speculate on its principles, just like how we see different universal space-time gates. Does that make sense?"

Feng Yi listens and seems to grasp some but not all, while Zhang Xiaobo completely does not understand and hastily shakes his head, "Could you use an even simpler metaphor?"

"Humph." The Blade Warrior is utterly speechless, "Comparing from the perspective of the third dimension is also very simple. We could view a painting as a two-dimensional structure. Of course, the painting has thickness, but it can't change the contents of the painting itself without external forces. The role of the Time Crystal is like a pen, and with the Paradox Engine, we can use this pen to change the content of the painting, to depict the world structure we desire. We could find a painting similar to our world. The world therein may have some deviations from ours or it might just be a Blank Paper. Quantum mechanical thought resonance will then help us filter out more than 99.99999% of the divergent possibilities."

"Of course, we must not forget the way back home. So, while altering this painting, we need to make a backup. This backup is actually the space-time coordinates of our original location. With it, no matter how the painting changes, we will not lose direction and forget the original appearance of the painting. You must be able to understand this now, right?"
