Chapter 519: Interstellar World Farming (32)

Shen Yao decided to take a gamble, choosing to go to the Frontline Battlefield to seize this opportunity.

If she didn't go, eating meat was definitely unrealistic; at most she could drink some soup.

"Having soup to drink is better than having nothing at all; this opportunity comes once in a thousand years and cannot be missed."

Mainly because after missing it, she didn't know if there would be another possibility.

After speaking with the system, Shen Yao turned her head and began contacting her connections.

The first ones she targeted were the mercenaries and Exploration Hunters under Shen Yao's control.

When she first took over, Shen Yao had considered selling them off as a package: first, due to the positioning issues between both parties; second, considering the chaotic management and the great distance. But because the impression during formal contact was not bad, Shen Yao not only didn't sell them, but instead expanded the scale of the industry.

Later, when joint operations arose, Shen Yao had once mobilized for the Frontline Battlefield with extra abundant resources, but ultimately chose to cancel because the Frontline Battlefield was too dangerous.

Right now, Shen Yao issued a recruitment notification.

It clearly stated her remarks about choosing to go to the Frontline Battlefield this time, and on the premise of guaranteeing personal voluntariness, it absorbed registered personnel through salary payment (including money and other resources).

Whoever it was, as long as they met the relevant requirements, they could receive a generous salary reward.

Of course, danger definitely existed, but regarding arrangements for affairs before and after death, Shen Yao also tried to give reasonable prices.

For a while, many people signed up enthusiastically. After all, these people wandered between black and white all year round; even if they didn't go to the Frontline Battlefield, they were heading toward Exploration Planets.

Strictly speaking, relying on subjective consciousness made it difficult to define which was lighter or heavier between Exploration Planets and the Frontline Battlefield, so as long as the price was right, in some people's eyes, their lives could be sold.

"Monitor their communication equipment, eavesdrop on their daily exchanges, to ensure the safety of this trip."

Shen Yao arranged a new mission for the system, asking it to spare some energy to focus on these people who had successfully signed up. Compared to the Federal Government's monitoring, these people right now were obviously more important.

System:...

The system was frightened by the Host's swift and decisive actions, like a gust of wind; after it blew through, everything from top to bottom was filled with new vitality.

Right now, they were clearly doing well on the path of buying planets to farm and expanding industries to make money, but then the vehicle's head turned and they came to the Interstellar Hegemony Battlefield, wanting to go to the front line to do high-risk, high-return work.

What if they failed?

They didn't have the confidence to start over from scratch. With the current growth standards of the Host's four children, they could barely be considered to have quantity but no quality. If they went through the back door, they could still reincarnate once more, but any more than that was impossible.

"Host, there's no need to fight so hard."

Shen Yao stopped the system from saying what came next. She had a premonition in her heart: "The effect of those High-Purity Energy Crystals is very great; the most direct one is to stimulate human potential again."

Previously, it had always been controlled by the Federal Government and was forbidden from flowing into the mass market.

"If we can obtain a certain quantity of High-Purity Energy Crystals, the task completion rate will be significantly improved."

After all is said and done, it ultimately returned to the tasks they relied on for survival.

Shen Yao admitted that she was indeed radical at times, but the benefits radicalism brought her far outweighed the drawbacks. Before there was a clear loss, persuading Shen Yao to give up this high-risk, high-return behavior was obviously unrealistic.

Moreover, there was another reason supporting Shen Yao's decision to take the risk: the number of planets and the expansion of industries. Small-scale growth meant nothing, but once it exceeded the bottom line that had been set, breaking through and developing would require matching sufficient strength.

It was like dividing a cake: before it was served, no one cared about a few scraps, but once it was on the table, what was being divided was other people's interests.

"This is a world of the weak being the strong's prey, following the law of the jungle; only by being strong enough can one move about without obstruction."

Obviously, with Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing's current abilities, they temporarily couldn't do so.

The High-Purity Energy Crystals released by the Frontline Battlefield gave Shen Yao hope to move upward.

Whether it was children bound by blood ties, lovers bound by marriage, or even her ordinary self, as long as they could obtain these High-Purity Energy Crystals, they could go further.

In front of the Host, the system finally ended this communication by being persuaded.

It honestly implemented the surveillance strategy. Because the distance between the two parties was too great, the system could only perform remote control for now, waiting until they met up to conduct screening.

Besides this, the system also adopted a bottom-line investigation strategy toward these people.

It dug up what these people had done in the past, directly screening out those with bad conduct, to reduce the danger around the Host.

When the spaceship arrived at the planet where Lian Dun Academy was located, Shen Yao had already directly or indirectly hired personnel equivalent to a small fleet.

These were not the final confirmed list. Shen Yao would screen them at N25 Planet, and by the way purchase available weapons and warships, to carry the maximum attack force to the Frontline Battlefield.

"For this arrangement, we will go out together." Except for Xu Cheng Shuo and Xu Cheng Ning who had to go to school, the remaining four would all appear at the Frontline Battlefield.

Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi originally wanted to persuade their birth mother, but unexpectedly their birth mother was wilder than their ideas; she actually organized a non-military fleet herself.

This seemed a bit too much.

Xu Cheng Yu touched his chin, and before he could say anything, Xu Cheng Yi beside him impatiently opened his mouth to express loyalty, full of flattery toward his birth mother in his words, as much of a lackey as could be.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao helplessly raised her hand and tapped vaguely, "You, left or right, you're going anyway; get ready what needs to be prepared."

Xu Cheng Yi sighed twice upon hearing this, and followed by pulling along the solemn-acting Xu Cheng Yu to pack together.

Compared to these provided by Lian Dun Academy, it was safer to stay by their birth mother's side.

"If I had known our mom was this capable, I would have taken the hardest missions." Xu Cheng Yi clicked his tongue, obviously feeling some regret.

Xu Cheng Yu:...

Xu Cheng Yu quickly stopped Xu Cheng Yi's dangerous thoughts, telling him not to daydream: "Originally, we didn't go to complete missions." The interior of Lian Dun Academy was lenient; knowing the Frontline Battlefield was dangerous, they wouldn't really be willing to send students to die.

These people could be said to be half forced, half voluntary. The Federal Government intervened, and Lian Dun Academy could only muddle through to do this.

They originally planned to explain well when their parents came, and try their best to guarantee their own safety at the Frontline Battlefield. Unexpectedly, their birth mother set her sights on the High-Purity Energy Crystals and chose to organize her own team to go to the Frontline Battlefield, making the two of them just tag along.

"Right now the mission can not only be completed, but might even be done better." Xu Cheng Yi spread his hands, thinking in his heart: what is this? Intentional planting of flowers doesn't make them bloom, unintentional insertion of willows makes them grow into shade!

Xu Cheng Yu:...

Xu Cheng Yu stopped wasting words and instead seized the time to organize the things to bring.

They had already entered the final stage of studying at Lian Dun Academy, and they wouldn't be long before graduating and returning home.

Going to the battlefield ahead of time this time could also be considered a rare experience.

Pack up, prepare, the spaceship left N05 Planet and headed for N25 Planet.

Before landing, Shen Yao simply divided and arranged this matter.

Regarding personnel, Shen Yao was naturally fully responsible; Xu Zi Qing needed to purchase usable weapons and warships; Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi each followed one person, assisting and helping.

Situations like this would likely happen only once for Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing, but Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi would face countless such times in the future. Learning more experience and drawing lessons would be beneficial to their growth.

In the end, Shen Yao brought Xu Cheng Yi, while Xu Zi Qing took Xu Cheng Yu.

The two sides cooperated with tacit understanding; as soon as the spaceship landed, they each rushed to Xian Chang.

The system in her mind was working, using mechanical means to conduct analysis. Although the results seemed rigid and mechanical, an accuracy rate as high as 98% remained Shen Yao's main basis for judgment.

Electronic lists flashed before Shen Yao's eyes one after another; unqualified ones were marked, and Xu Cheng Yi was responsible for organizing them before separate notifications were sent.

After being busy for quite some days, Shen Yao finally finished reading the massive personnel list.

Xu Cheng Yi was like a sponge eagerly absorbing knowledge; no matter what existed in the outside world, she would strive to take it into her own body for digestion.

Even if there were things she did not understand, she could mark them first and ask later; she simply could not give up eating because of choking and miss out on other knowledge.

"Well done," Shen Yao raised her hand and patted Xu Cheng Yi's shoulder, then spoke about the personnel she had removed, emphasizing that this trip was dangerous: "Some things are uncertain, so give them up for now."

This was the most effortless and cost-effective method, after all it took time to judge whether something was usable; as long as an individual did not affect the overall situation, investigating the results in detail would have no significance.

Xu Cheng Yi pondered for a moment and nodded again, indicating she had learned. Comparing individual value with overall price, gains and losses were merely derived from interests.

Just like among the personnel removed by her mother this time, there were a few who might truly be innocent, but investigating clearly would take time.

Compared to their plan that could not stop, the obvious abandonment was the optimal solution.

Xu Cheng Yi benefited greatly on her side, and Xu Cheng Yu also gained much on his side.

Xu Zi Qing spent money and resources by the massive amount every day; despite this, all they could get was a castrated semi-finished product.

The Federal Government controlled weapons and armaments to a very high degree, which was also why accidents occurred frequently on this frontline battlefield; otherwise, they could not even buy this bit of junk.

Xu Cheng Yu was a bit angry about this, but after Xu Zi Qing said two words to him, he straightened his posture.

"Different standpoints, different ideas. In the future, if you join the army, the same matter would bring a new attitude," Xu Zi Qing did not force Xu Cheng Yu to understand now; he was just a child fresh out of school, still carrying the unspent scholarly spirit. Only after walking through the cruel society once could he better understand the true meaning of the book's content.

Xu Cheng Yu silently kept Xu Zi Qing's words in his heart, wanting to say he would not be like that, but reason reminded him that his father's words were true.

The Federal Government restricted the use of some weapons and armaments to strive for power and stability; this was the most direct and convenient method.

Otherwise, if everyone had weapons of mass destruction, the potential harm to society would be terrifyingly great.

…………

Browsing the weapons and armaments bought back, then arranging the personnel who passed the screening.

Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing discussed for several days, finally making this temporarily assembled fleet look somewhat standardized and neat.

Running to the Federal Government to obtain legal procedures, Shen Yao waved her hand grandly and pointed directly at the frontline battlefield.

No longer using non-attacking spaceships to clear the way, but replacing them with beautiful star fleets taking the lead.

Silver-white exteriors with gem-like windows; one oppressive warship after another left Planet N25, speeding toward their destinations like arrows.

Compared to the various sizes and models of star fleets unique to the Federal Government's internal affairs, their type of star fleet called Guang Xu Light Frigate was not that tall.

Even because of the sale, several light cannons on the Guang Xu Light Frigate had been removed; not only was the attack power greatly reduced, but the defense was left with only a thin energy ring, and a single round of cannon fire could extinguish it.

However, the Guang Xu Light Frigate also had advantages: strong mobility and fast speed. The reason Xu Zi Qing would purchase Guang Xu Light Frigates on a large scale lay in this.

After all, they were going to the frontline battlefield, and the most dangerous should have been that group of Zerg.

But the bugs did not like to eat energy crystals; they preferred carbon-based life, which tasted good when chewed and was especially delicious, more popular than hard stones.

This led to the current situation on the frontline battlefield where everyone scrambled to mine, the Zerg chased after everyone's backs to eat, and a group of people revolved around high-purity energy crystals, giving a feeling that they would not rest until they finished mining completely.

Related star maps appeared before everyone's eyes; Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing told the two children their analysis, and incidentally mentioned the mining strategies they might adopt after arriving at the frontline battlefield.

Simply put, it was to rely on the high mobility of the light frigate and adopt a strategy of constantly circling around the Zerg.

The Zerg had no wisdom; all their actions were more like originating from bodily instincts.

So this meant the effect brought out by the Guang Xu Light Frigate would be very great. Shen Yao's trip alone had invested money and resources that could not be counted; if she could not recover the capital, one could somewhat understand the bitter mood of those forces after losing everything.

The star fleet group marched mightily toward the frontline battlefield. Because they had proper documents in hand, even if Shen Yao and the others rested at star ports along the way, there were no extra charges.

Even because they took the conventional route, they avoided the risk of being robbed by star pirates.

In star domains like this, closer to the Chaos Zone, many sins would always breed.

Star pirates were the most common type; they often had no fixed abode, appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and once they targeted you, they would bite off a large piece of flesh.

During the few months of rushing to the frontline battlefield, the Guang Xu Light Frigate group encountered several large and small star pirate attacks, with not many losses, but there were also personnel casualties.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao truly felt the feeling of heartache; these were all principal capital.

Letting all star fleets hurry with all their might, Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing discussed it, and finally decided to first station the team in the rear area of the frontline battlefield, waiting until they understood the situation of the frontline battlefield before making other arrangements.

"Star pirates have increased visibly to the naked eye; the situation here is worse than imagined."

You must know that when star pirates encounter the Federal Government, it is like a mouse seeing a cat. Now that the mice are so arrogant, it can only be said that the cat temporarily has no energy to manage them.

The Federal Government had pressed down many armies on the frontline battlefield. To achieve such an effect, excluding intentional action, only the option that the war was urgent remained.
