Chapter 520: Interstellar World Farming (33)

Indeed, the war situation is rather tight; the Zerg suddenly launched uninterrupted attacks, and now it all depends on the Alliance Army to hold them off.

The fleet is temporarily stationed on a desolate planet; ahead lies the Frontline Battlefield, and to ensure safety, not everyone is permitted to go to the Frontline Battlefield.

Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing planned to first understand the situation before making other plans. Coincidentally, Du Lanzhou was also here, and the two agreed to meet; the remarks about the tight war situation were secretly said by Du Lanzhou.

"You've stayed on the Frontline Battlefield all along and know this place better than anyone. Do you think the Federal Government's intentions are true or false?"

Xu Zi Qing smiled as he poured a cup of clear wine brought from N25 Planet, drinking while exchanging information with Du Lanzhou.

"True or false," Du Lanzhou raised a hand to touch his chin, "in my opinion, the Federal Government still has some selfish motives."

Xu Zi Qing made an 'oh' sound upon hearing this and continued to ask for specific manifestations. Perhaps fearing Du Lanzhou might misunderstand, Xu Zi Qing even used themselves as an example: "The Federal Government's propaganda is so good, it's hard not to be tempted."

Wasn't it because they were tempted and developed greed that they brought their fleet here from a thousand li away?

Du Lanzhou's eyes flickered for a moment upon hearing this, then he smiled and said he had come here for the same reason before, but recently the situation on the Frontline Battlefield has been tight, and he doesn't intend to drag it out any longer; he wants to set off and return to N25 Planet.

"What a coincidence?" Xu Zi Qing looked surprised, put down the wine cup in his hand, "I still wanted to invite you to take this opportunity to earn more High-Purity Energy Crystals; it seems we can only wait for the next chance."

Du Lanzhou threw back his head and laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Next time, this time is really not a coincidence, not a coincidence."

After the two simply finished this meal, Du Lanzhou declared he had other matters to attend to; Xu Zi Qing urged him to stay several times to no avail, so he could only stand up and see Du Lanzhou off.

When Xu Zi Qing returned to the room again, he saw Shen Yao, Xu Cheng Yu, and Xu Cheng Yi already standing by the sofa; the three of them were buried in analyzing the audio data the two of them had just discussed in the room.

"What? Any discoveries?" Xu Zi Qing casually poured himself some Sobering Medicine, swallowed it in one gulp, and the dizziness eased considerably.

Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi said nothing, but Shen Yao curiously replied, "Do we have some grudge with him?"

Xu Zi Qing:...

Xu Zi Qing looked speechless, indicating there was no such thing, "It's been several years since we last met; precisely speaking, since Du Lanzhou ran to the Frontline Battlefield, they've only had communication contact."

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao tilted her head, "That's a bit strange," whether it was what Du Lanzhou said or the news he spoke, it was very obvious he was deceiving them.

No grudges in the past, no enmity in recent days.

It's just that they were once cooperative partners with a good relationship, and had made money together.

"Perhaps he feels unbalanced in his heart?" Xu Cheng Yu couldn't help but speculate on the dark side of human nature.

"If there's no direct conflict, he must have been bought," Xu Cheng Yi gave his opinion.

Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing listened seriously, and in the end, they just smiled at each other.

After Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi left, Shen Yao looked at Xu Zi Qing with teasing words, "It seems we don't need to worry too much about Cheng Yu and the others; they're not too foolish."

The analysis content was reasonable and well-founded, unlike young people who just entered society, with only beautiful views of society in their eyes, failing to notice the darkness integrated into one.

Xu Zi Qing sighed dejectedly, "Not seen for several years, and the attitude changed so quickly."

It's not unacceptable, just somewhat emotional; they once had a close relationship, thinking it could be maintained forever, after all, they thought too much.

Shen Yao accepted this well, because she herself didn't have too many friends, including the earliest classmates and relatives, occasional contact but not involving interests.

The simplest thing was buying planets to farm and expanding industries to make money; those friends thought she hadn't achieved it yet, and in daily conversation they used it to tease her.

Shen Yao never explained this, nor would she actively publicize that the famous Yao Guang Company was absolutely controlled and managed by her; the Heng Suo Farm on distant L98 Planet continued farming as usual, completely not abandoned because it was too remote.

Du Lanzhou's contact with them seemed somewhat close. Especially in recent years, their industries kept expanding and integrating; Du Lanzhou saw it with his own eyes, and perhaps he wouldn't not have ideas.

"Yes, some aspects of human nature are completely unavoidable," this is very hard to control.

Shen Yao raised her hand and lightly patted Xu Zi Qing's shoulder, advising him to be more open-minded about everything; otherwise, what could be done? It wouldn't do to really sulk in anger.

Xu Zi Qing wouldn't sulk in anger; after having Du Lanzhou as a lesson, he contacted his other connections one after another, and the results obtained were not optimistic.

"What secrets does the Frontline Battlefield actually hide?" Evasive and hesitant, everyone was desperately concealing something.

Shen Yao had already arranged for the system to conduct a comprehensive exploration; "No matter what secrets are hidden, we won't enter the Frontline Battlefield until we find out clearly."

Responding to all changes with constancy, Shen Yao spent a lot of resources to assemble this fleet. If they went in and hadn't even heard a sound before going 'bang' and disappearing, how panic-inducing that would be.

Just thinking about it made Shen Yao feel her heart couldn't take it; no, no, absolutely not.

Shen Yao planned to stay put and not move; before obtaining enough information, no matter who spoke, she chose to listen half and discard half, including channel news from Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi's senior schoolmates and teachers.

It was also because they were careful enough that they avoided a huge accident that was hard to say whether it was a natural disaster or a human calamity.

A star domain occupying one-third of the Frontline Battlefield suffered a severe collapse, and a devouring Black Hole appeared.

The Zerg and Federal Army present suffered heavy losses, and many private Exploration Hunters and Mercenary Teams were also affected, causing the collection activities of High-Purity Energy Crystals to be temporarily suspended.

When Shen Yao received this news, the Black Hole that appeared from the collapse was expanding toward the surroundings, and they were earnestly requested by the Federal Government to participate in rescue operations.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing met, then exchanged a few words with Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi; afterward, the four of them adopted a split-up approach to join in.

The Guang Xu Light Frigate groups continuously shuttled and jumped near the Frontline Battlefield; the ropes on the light frigates were released at appropriate times, dragging away as many out-of-control ships as possible.

The ships dragged away included private forces, Federal Army, and members of the College.

After all, this collapse happened too quickly; no one realized the severity, so there were many ships appearing on the Frontline Battlefield; those heavily damaged had already fallen into deep space, while those lightly damaged escaped a calamity.

Shen Yao didn't expect that the first mission of her assembled fleet upon arriving at the Frontline Battlefield would be to rescue people.

The Federal Government's letter of thanks was still stored on the wristband; Shen Yao pressed the rope button, tied up the struggling ship not far away, and dragged it toward the distant Safety Zone.

After being busy for a while, Shen Yao's fleet suffered no damage, but the engine energy was used up a lot; incidentally, she also received some gratitude resources.

"Is this High-Purity Energy Crystal?" Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi looked curiously at the thumb-sized rhombic multifaceted crystal delivered, crystal clear all over, with many colors.

Shen Yao nodded, "One crystal can supply the Guang Xu Light Frigate's navigation for three years."

What is an energy bomb? This is it.

It has absolute effects in all aspects; otherwise, it wouldn't be banned from sale by the Federal Government.

"The Federal Army is really generous," Xu Cheng Yi sighed emotionally; such resources are given just like that.

Xu Cheng Yu pointed to certain forces that, like them, were earnestly requested for rescue but went to secretly mine instead; "If we also go mining, the harvest will be much more than now."

Shen Yao smiled, "Playing petty cleverness leads to big losses; this is the Frontline Battlefield. The Federal Government relies on the Federal Army, and we also need the Army's protection."

Don't think you're smart while everyone else is foolish; the apparent request for rescue is just a suggestion, but truly not going is lacking foresight.

"Those people will face retaliation?" Xu Cheng Yi felt the possibility was very high.

Although some words were spoken very nicely, respecting citizens' right to choose, in the face of life, closeness and distance were clear at a glance.

Those people did not stretch out their hands to participate in the rescue today; when they encounter trouble in the future, the Federal Army might just not care.

After all, this is a federal system society; do you really think the army is some kind of holy father? Likes to convince with virtue, repay enmity with virtue? Go dream!

"Can't call it retaliation; as long as there's a slip in information, on the frontline battlefield, anything can happen."

Shen Yao replied coldly/indifferently, then had Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi prepare, since the rescue operation was over, they should also do some proper business.

Proper business?!

"Host, a group of people are watching you, planning to secretly make a move to sabotage things," won't let them have their way.

The System was anxious; the investigation the Host had previously instructed, the System truly had no slacking behavior, serious and upright attitude throughout.

Similarly, the System also successfully discovered certain people's conspiracy to frame the Host, including covert harm and secret sabotage.

After all, the fleet belongs to the Host, but the personnel are all hired with money.

Buying off, winning over, threatening, colluding... although the effect is not obvious (Shen Yao has already screened out several batches, the rest have a high enough bottom line), once the fleet suffers obvious losses, don't believe these people won't waver.

At that time, another move of inside-out coordination, the industries Shen Yao ate up earlier will all have to be spat out.

That's right, these people played a One-Open-Four-Six-Nine, went around such a big circle, the purpose is still to seize back the industries they previously sold off.

Those who can survive on the frontline battlefield have more or less accumulated some treasures.

Perhaps still not enough to buy back the industries already developed and expanded by Shen Yao, but just like when they sold them originally, there will definitely be discounts and shrinkage and price reductions.

Everyone does business this way; Shen Yao naturally won't be any exception.

"Want to sabotage, also depends on their own ability; at that time lose both ways, can't blame me."

Shen Yao told the System not to make a fuss; since she knows how the other side will strike, if they can still suffer setbacks because of it, it only blames their own cultivation not being up to par.

However, judging from the current situation of both sides, Shen Yao doesn't feel she will lose.

Maybe she can even conveniently make a windfall, rob these people.

System:...

The System admires the Host's unconventional thinking ten thousand percent; anyway, it's a System that doesn't understand.

No need for the System to understand either; Shen Yao can sort out these matters herself.

The Guang Xu Light Frigates split into four, a family of four each responsible for a small squad.

Shen Yao did not forget to tell Xu Zi Qing and the others about being watched, letting them have a psychological expectation while also preparing to be framed at any time.

Because high concentration energy crystals cannot be given up, while other aspects, can only be overcome as much as possible.

Xu Cheng Yu, looking thoughtful, said appropriate counterattack would be advantageous for establishing a good external image; otherwise others think they're easy to bully, coming to harass every three days, getting work done is important.

"Use the person's own way, treat the person's own body." Xu Cheng Yi recited this sentence in a scholarly manner, then clapped hands indicating she had it under control, just right to test the Lian Dun Academy's years of educational results; in the future see who still says she has no experience.

The two kids were each more excited than the last; Xu Zi Qing although not showing it obviously, a pair of bright shining eyes still exposed her inner emotions without reserve.

Shen Yao:...

Ten thousand didn't expect, all three people had this kind of thinking; looks like this showdown between hunter and prey will have an expected reversal.

Shen Yao passed days of daily mining, dodging Zerg, confronting unfriendly forces.

Occasionally encountering elusive enemy ships, adhering to fight if can win, dodge if can't, using the strategy of retreating while digging pits, continuously launching effective offensive strikes against these forces with guilty consciences.

Most of the time, Shen Yao won more, drew few, lost none, making these people's jealous eyes even redder.

Hateful!

Trying so hard still can't topple her? Why!

Some people simply shifted targets, venting all their anger on Xu Zi Qing and the other three.

Result: this precisely poked Xu Zi Qing and the other three's inner hearts, finally letting them end with the most cruel defeat.

"Look, how does that saying go? Thought it was an all-out effort, actually just a casual strike."

She really is quite gentle; at least to these people, Shen Yao's strikes stop at the right point.

Result? Ungrateful, insist on trying, framing themselves into a hole they can't get out of.

Believe after this battle, their remaining industries probably won't be able to keep much.

Just right, "I should also collect some mental damages," Shen Yao indicates industries eaten into her own mouth are that easy to spit out? Since they want them so much, why not change a way to let them reunite.

Contacted her several Agents to watch these forces' homes closely at all times; Shen Yao gave them maximum permissions, striving to eat down all industries before she returns.

As for possibly facing further surge of industries after eating them down might arouse the Federal Government's vigilance, Shen Yao glanced at the many high-purity energy crystals she had mined back, indicating everything is under control.

Busy and bustling, fulfilling and peaceful.

Shen Yao's fleet became thoroughly famous on the frontline battlefield; except for certain forces with ulterior motives, everyone else was willing to be on good terms with it.

Whether in buyout or in sale of high-purity energy crystals, Shen Yao's prices were quite fair, and because the Federal Army gave face everywhere, others even more dared not provoke Shen Yao.

"This is choice greater than effort; those people are typical failure cases," not forgetting to give examples to the System, Shen Yao felt happily in her heart.
