It was not a small number, but compared to the massive base of Scavengers, it was still far too few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fee of fifty thousand Star Coins was not something every Scavenger could afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After every Shelter Day, at least hundreds of people would drop from the sky here. When a war broke out in the No Man's Land System or a new Interstellar Pirate Lord appeared, this number would double.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of all these people, some would be killed by Veteran Scavengers because they were unfamiliar with the environment, while others barely managed to eke out a miserable existence, only to be swallowed by a Black Hole because they couldn't scrape together the Protection Fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those with real skills and cunning minds could survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty people was the absolute limit Third Fatty could bring out. Taking people out of The Junkyard required tedious procedures and bribing officials at every level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many, and he wouldn't be able to get them out; too few, and he wouldn't make a profit...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone brought out their hard-earned Star Coins, bitterly stuffing them into their pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Fatty, chewing on a Cigar, held the woman in his arms and reached into his own pocket again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the peak of his life. Every time he savored this feeling, it brought him the ultimate thrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was, until he saw the dead-eyed Li Yu carrying a brown Leather Suitcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You damn fatty, if I can't leave, you can forget about leaving too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this harmonious scene of a Capitalist exploiting his slaves, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a Garbage Pile near the Metal Apartment, a figure holding a Scrap Iron Knife charged out. With bloodshot eyes and ragged clothes, he roared as he lunged at Third Fatty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A surprise bonus?\" Li Yu felt somewhat delighted. He pulled out one hundred thousand Star Coins and tossed them into his pocket—this included Claptrap's share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scavengers in the crowd remained completely unfazed, with some even showing looks of ridicule. They were all Veteran Scavengers who had lived here for more than half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Fatty was also a little surprised, but this quickly shifted into a vicious sneer. He gently pushed the woman in his arms out of the way and took the blade head-on without dodging or evading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decayed iron blade chopped onto Third Fatty's head, instantly snapping the iron edge, yet Third Fatty calmly and composedly smoothed out his ill-fitting Suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you not ask around about my Strength here?\" He grabbed the man's arm and violently twisted it into a mangled mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\" The miserable wail was agonizing. The man dropped to his knees, his entire body trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a muffled snap, his head burst apart like a crushed watermelon. Red and white matter splattered everywhere. Third Fatty pulled his foot back, wiped it on the corpse's tattered clothes, and spat on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman turned her head away, unwilling to look at the nauseating scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity...\" Li Yu shook his head, sighing over the death of a Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Metal Apartment began to fold. The massive structure let out a hum, and the clashing of mechanical gears wove together into a melodious symphony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a moment, the giant Metal Apartment folded down into a silver-white Briefcase. It was an astonishing display of Technology. A sharp glint flashed in Li Yu's eyes. He wanted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of spatial folding technology was generally assisted by anti-gravity tech, making it quite light. Third Fatty's woman could lift it with just one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The edge of The Junkyard was bordered by a smooth iron wall standing a full hundred meters tall. Fierce electrified fences extended from it, with quite a few dried-up corpses hanging off the wires. An army unit was stationed here for inspections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was to prevent Stowaways from entering the Core Region and causing sabotage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick, heavy Metal Gate was the only authorized exit from the entire Junkyard, and the entire five-hundred-meter radius around it was littered with corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gave off a putrid stench, swarmed by buzzing flies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, I warned them that this place is dangerous, yet they still came here seeking death.\" Third Fatty's face was grim as he ordered his men to clear a path through the pile of corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, this gate had always been tightly shut, but today was different. The entrance was wide open, with soldiers in black Combat Suits lined up on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gun ports overhead were also open. The dark, eerie muzzles left one unable to shake the fear of a bullet suddenly firing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Major Qika, long time no see, my Friend.\" Third Fatty wore a face full of smiles, spreading his arms wide as he walked toward a Middle-Aged Man among the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick gun barrels were pointed right at him. There were at least a hundred heavily armed soldiers nearby, ready to snuff out any potential riots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Middle-Aged Man was not wearing a Combat Suit. The hair at his temples was turning white, the wrinkles on his face were deep, and his eyes were incredibly sharp. He completely ignored Third Fatty's open arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people backing Third Fatty had a cooperative relationship with the High Echelon of Heavenly Desolation Star. Both of them were merely Pawns, just taking what they were owed after the fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Routine inspection. No weapons of mass destruction are allowed. Violators will be shot on sight,\" Major Qika stated coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Fatty's hands, frozen in midair, smoothly came together as he rubbed them. He reined in his smile a bit, turning his head to declare coldly, \"Cooperate with the inspection. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you bear the consequences yourselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze landed on Li Yu for a brief moment. 'Where is that sniper rifle?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was deeply curious about this. He refused to believe that the people backing Li Yu were willing to invest spatial folding equipment on a piece of trash like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also did not believe that Li Yu would throw away that precious sniper rifle. The only possibility was that the people backing him had taken it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'To be able to come and go freely here... I wonder if Major Qika knows about this...' Third Fatty pondered inwardly. His eyes flickered past Claptrap's thick mechanical right arm, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melee Weapons would not be confiscated since they couldn't cause large-scale casualties, so these guards simply turned a blind eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, wouldn't Master Kuhl suffer an epic-level nerf?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu frowned and scanned his surroundings. Ever since he was standing in front of the Metal Apartment, he had felt a faint, lingering sensation of being watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he couldn't figure out who was spying on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Has my handsomeness finally been discovered by someone?' He narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier in charge of the inspection walked up to Li Yu, and Li Yu cooperatively raised his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open the case,\" the soldier ordered. Li Yu frowned slightly. The case was full of Star Coins. If he opened it just like this, it would probably attract some trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you not hear me? Open the case!\" The soldier repeated, raising his Gun and aiming it at Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We cannot start a conflict...\" Hunter whispered in warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem...\" Li Yu shrugged and blatantly opened the case. The stacks of Star Coins inside immediately caused quite a stir of gasps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, what is that? Star Coins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An entire suitcase full of Star Coins! How much is that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greedy gazes instantly locked onto him. Even though some people knew Li Yu had killed the Dog King, they all knew he had relied on the power of a sniper rifle to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once they left this place and entered the Black Market, there would be nowhere for him to mount a sniper rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier was also stunned. He wore a half-face black helmet with his eyes concealed behind a dark visor, but his slightly trembling lips were visible. It was clear he was undergoing a fierce internal struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Close it...\" Ultimately, he moved his muzzle away. After all of this was over, everyone here would receive a hefty payout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And taking what one shouldn't take only led to a dead end.\u003C\u002Fp>",1405,"2026-06-05T20:43:33.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","d263174d724a76150b8720c2dd7a633c6760bc37a3490ffe9bc1464915d1f74b","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-13","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-11",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--cover.jpg"]
