Chapter 252: Familiar World, Clear Goal

In the Mothership of the Meteor Fleet, many commanders listened to the non-commissioned officer's report, looking at each other in dismay.

"Is he really testing us?"

Elton frowned deeply. This situation was somewhat unexpected, and he didn't like this feeling.

"But the Power Level couldn't be faked. Where did he get an A-rank Weapon from?"

For a moment, the many commanders were also somewhat confused, not knowing what exactly was going on.

"No need to care, this matter won't have any impact." Finally, one commander had a different opinion, jumping out of the problem itself.

"Whether it's really an ambush or Li Yu's test, he has already become the bait on the Fish Hook, he can't escape."

Elton's expression relaxed, and he nodded, "Correct, no need to care about this matter, focus on scouting the Ordos System."

Right at this moment, the large screen suddenly changed. A Subordinate reported that they had seized control of the Ordos network.

"It's actually real?" The commanders couldn't help but be surprised again. A moment later... the screen suddenly went black again.

"Your Excellency Commander, the opponent suddenly changed strategies. They are no longer passively defending and have started confronting us head-on."

The Subordinate reported urgently. Elton waved his hand; he only needed to know the result and didn't want to know how the Artificial Intelligences were clashing.

Li Yu carried a tightly wrapped spherical object, preparing to return to the Guesthouse in Ordos.

The Guesthouse was located near the Equator of Ordos. The recent temperature was quite hot, and the streets were filled with pleasant sights.

Ordos people were similar to interstellar humans. Actually... interstellar humans and Humanoid Species almost occupied 70% of the races in the entire known Universe.

Such large-scale assimilation of races had already violated the Laws of Cosmic Evolution. The Salvation Ark once published an authoritative journal, speculating that the humanoid form was also the external shape of the Titan.

Therefore, it influenced the current cosmic racial composition, leading to humanoid forms occupying the majority.

"...They're all humanoid types, and the benefits are quite numerous..." Li Yu muttered. At least when he and Max squatted on Gui Xing Street, most of the female races were striding with long legs.

Although the colors were varied, they at least barely met the Aesthetics of interstellar humans.

"Aiya, what's wrong with the network speed recently? Even uploading a selfie is so slow," a few sweet-looking Young Ladies complained, stomping their feet in anger.

"Yeah, yesterday when I was doing data for Gege, it was much slower. Fortunately, everyone is lagging, so Gege is still number one."

"..."

Youthful Aura overflowed, making many passing uncles turn their heads, sighing that young ones were really white, really long, really big...

It seemed the tug-of-war between those two Artificial Intelligences had already affected the entirety of Ordos. Li Yu didn't stay too long.

The [Titan Colonization Armor] was left outside by him, slowly Devouring the Energy Cannon delivered by Bro Dark Star. It would take some time to finish Devouring.

However, besides Dark Star, this impulsive guy, the rest were Old Schemers and wouldn't suddenly attack him.

Next were Laser Man and Strength King. They still needed some time to arrive in Ordos, so he wasn't worried.

"...Did you see that handsome guy?" A girl stared at Li Yu's departing back and asked her Friend next to her.

"I saw him long ago. Didn't you notice I deliberately stuck my leg out just now?" Another slender girl giggled.

"Ah, you little slut..."

"What a pity he didn't even look up. A handsome guy with that kind of temperament must be rich or noble. Who knows how beautiful his Girlfriend is, but if we could just sleep with him, that wouldn't be bad either."

"Ew~ you're so shameless..."

Another burst of giggles rang out, a dazzling expanse of white blinding the eyes.

...

Returning to the Guesthouse, Daniel hurried over. Only after discovering that Li Yu didn't have any injuries did he breathe a sigh of relief, saying:

"Just now the Meteor Fleet told me you were ambushed and asked me what was going on."

"How did you answer?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows.

"No comment," Daniel spat out two words, then added: "I mean, no comment to the Meteor Fleet."

"Well said." Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, not saying much else.

Through his test of the Meteor Fleet, he at least learned that the other party wouldn't easily support him, so he didn't need to count on them helping him when Strength King and Laser Man appeared.

Confirming this matter in advance allowed Li Yu to directly exclude the Meteor Fleet's combat power from his plans, avoiding being caught off guard when the time came.

Daniel knew Li Yu had many secrets and Tactfully didn't ask, only looking curiously at the tightly wrapped spherical object in Li Yu's hands.

"Curious?" Li Yu lifted the spherical object with a hint of a smile.

Daniel nodded. Li Yu tossed it in his hands and smiled: "Inside is an A-Tier Lifeform."

Daniel was startled, then also smiled: "You're joking again."

Having followed Li Yu for some time, Daniel knew this Hero often made some jokes with a wicked sense of humor.

For example, once asking him, for a woman, which is bigger, B or A?

He answered very sincerely that no matter what lifeform it is, A is always greater than B, this is an interstellar regulation.

He felt his answer was very normal, but it Bafflingly made Li Yu laugh, and many Squad Members also snickered, making him very confused.

From then on, Li Yu would occasionally ask him embarrassing questions like whether he was a virgin.

"Haha..." Li Yu didn't deny it, patting Daniel's shoulder: "There are many young and beautiful girls on the nearby streets. Since we're already here, why not go leave behind a beautiful tale?"

Daniel sternly refused: "Please don't speak nonsense, my mission is to protect your safety."

"Protecting me is very dangerous. I'm afraid that if you die someday, it would be such a pity if you were still a virgin," Li Yu teased.

Daniel's eyes darted around, refusing to answer this question.

Smiling, Li Yu didn't continue chatting with Daniel and returned to his own room.

Dark Star in this state wasn't unable to react, he just preferred to play dead.

He dialed Glazed Star's Communication Link. After a long wait, Glazed Star's face appeared on the Holographic Screen.

She wore gold-rimmed glasses and a high-level white researcher uniform. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail to avoid interfering with work.

"Sorry to bother you," Li Yu said politely, a gentle smile on his face.

Bang!

Right at this moment, the tightly wrapped Dark Star head next to him suddenly burst open, and tattered strips of cloth scattered all over the floor.

In this state, he wasn't unable to react, and could even use a portion of his power.

He had heard the conversation between Li Yu and Daniel outside just now clearly.

However, he preferred to play dead; it was better if Li Yu ignored him.

But now, after hearing Glazed Star's voice, he could no longer continue playing dead.

"Look who it is, my lovely Scarlet Commander..." Dark Star's voice was deep, and killing intent flickered in his eyes.

Once, Glazed Star was a Pawn he valued highly. Especially after knowing her Identity, she was regarded by him as the key figure to break free from control.

But after Glazed Star's father was rescued by Li Yu, he could no longer control this Pawn.

"Dark Star!" Shock flashed in Glazed Star's pupils, and she couldn't help but step back a few paces, bumping into the metal wall.

Even though she had been free from Dark Star for a long time, the long-lasting psychological shadow still made her subconsciously afraid.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Li Yu spoke up to comfort her, casually swatting Dark Star against the wall, bouncing him back and forth like a ping-pong ball.

"You... bang!"

"...Don't... bang!"

"Too... much... bang!"

Glazed Star still had lingering fears, but quickly calmed down. Seeing Dark Star's miserable state now, while feeling a sense of relief, she was also even more shocked by Li Yu's Strength.

After all, Dark Star was a bona fide A-Tier Lifeform, incomparably powerful, yet now he was like a toy falling into Li Yu's hands.

"Stop Grumbling and speaking in that fake deep voice, you sound like a pervert," Li Yu warned. "We're all Respectable People. If you don't want to be respectable, don't blame me."

Dark Star almost choked out internal injuries, and could only fiercely glare at the two under Li Yu's warning.

Dark Star already knew of Glazed Star's existence, which was why Li Yu contacted Glazed Star right in front of him.

"Just now this old bro told me that the Titan Ruins on the Ordos planet is some kind of [Apostle]." Li Yu said with a bit of teasing: "He's just a Pawn, and now he's even become a ball, he doesn't know anything, I can only ask you."

By teasing Dark Star, Li Yu was alleviating Glazed Star's psychological shadow.

Sure enough, the once lofty and unfathomably mysterious Dark Star had suddenly become a Pawn, a ping-pong ball at the mercy of others.

This contrast made Glazed Star couldn't help but reveal a smile. Dark Star felt bitter in his heart; he didn't want this either. When he discovered Li Yu, although he was very excited, he had also prepared himself.

Ambush... sneak attack, even a direct bombardment with an A-class Energy Cannon. Who knew it would end up like this.

Hearing Li Yu's question, Glazed Star pondered slightly and said: "The [Apostle] is a Titan mecha-type weapon. It belongs to high-tier weapons used in large-scale Interstellar Wars, and there are many models."

"Mecha-type weapon?" Hearing this, the DNA carved into Li Yu's soul moved. Could it be a Gundam?

Glazed Star nodded and said: "The [Apostle] is very special, it can only be driven by Mental Power. Actually, many Titan Technologies can only be driven by Mental Power."

"The Imperial Research Institute believes that Mental Power is a crucial part of Titan Technology."

Hearing Glazed Star's words, Li Yu suddenly remembered Peyton telling him that the Empire was specially cultivating Mental Power Cultivators, many of whom went to pilot mechas.

Could it be this kind of [Apostle]?

Glazed Star confirmed his guess: "That's right, it's the [Apostle]. There are many models of [Apostle], and high-tier models require multiple people to bear the burden."

"At the same time, the [Apostle] is also very powerful. Even a low-tier two-winged [Apostle] can fight against a standard Empire fleet."

"Two-winged [Apostle]?" Li Yu pondered: "Is that the classification standard for the [Apostle]?"

Glazed Star glanced at Dark Star and answered: "That's right, the metal wings on the back of the [Apostle] are the classification standard. The more wings, the higher the tier and the more powerful it is."

"You really answer whatever he asks..." Dark Star couldn't hold back anymore, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Asking a Talented person that Dark Star had gone through untold hardships to send in, right in front of Dark Star's face, wasn't this a kind of NTR?

"This is what I owe him," Glazed Star answered seriously.

"So you think you don't owe me?" Dark Star was very unhappy, extremely unhappy. If he were still the A-rank Dark Star, he might have just smiled contemptuously at this.

But now he was a head Dark Star, and a captive at that. His emotions were somewhat out of control, and he instantly said coldly: "It was I who cultivated you, made you the terrifying Scarlet Commander, and even allowed you to contact your biological Mother."

"Perhaps, but I don't care," Glazed Star's eyes were complex, almost making Dark Star vomit blood in anger.

Facing Li Yu it's 'what you owe him', facing me it's 'don't care'.

Li Yu instantly found it amusing. He swatted Dark Star away and said to Glazed Star: "Thank you for the trouble. I'll teach this guy a good lesson, don't worry."

"Be careful yourself..." Glazed Star gave a few instructions. She was in the Imperial Research Institute, not an intelligence agency, and couldn't provide more information.

Hanging up the communication, Li Yu and Dark Star stared at each other.

"Why can't you reveal Glazed Star's Identity, is it because of her biological Mother?" he asked curiously.

Because Glazed Star's father was rescued, causing Dark Star to be unable to control Glazed Star, but he could expose her Identity. If the Imperial Research Institute knew, they probably wouldn't Stand By Idly.

But Dark Star didn't do this.

"Is it because of her Mother?" Based on what Dark Star had just said, he speculated.

"That's right..." Dark Star's tone was quite complex, even carrying a bit of sneering: "Can you imagine? A Tacky Trope that exists in interstellar novels actually appeared in reality."

"Glazed Star's father, that..." Dark Star seemed to be thinking of what adjective to use.

"That low-level lifeform... actually had the chance to have a child with a High Echelon member of the Imperial Research Institute."

This was a tacky story involving Political Struggle, fallen nobles, an honest uncle, and a few other elements.

The matters within couldn't be explained clearly in one sentence. Although tacky, such things were not uncommon.

However, the ending was not beautiful. The strong woman who returned to the peak didn't value the affection from when she was down and out, and even wanted to erase this stain.

But she was exceptionally tolerant towards Glazed Star, even making an exception to absorb her into the Imperial Research Institute, which could be said to be opening a huge back door.

After Li Yu finished listening, he sighed quite a bit, thinking of the honest uncle who gave him clothes. He didn't expect him to have such a legendary experience.

After sighing, business still needed to be attended to. Early the next morning, Clone One's death cooldown time was up, and a new world could be deployed.

[Searching for World Deployment... Data analysis in progress... Locating [Transformers World] coordinates... Opening World Barrier Smuggling Channel... Opening successful... Please choose avatar deployment. You can carry Talents and titles, which will affect the Comprehensive Evaluation.]

Oh ho... an Old Friend. Li Yu didn't spend too much time pondering and directly selected [Task Mode]. The task objective was also very simple: [Obtain the Allspark].

Now that he had Strength, he naturally had to go for the things of greatest value.

This was something of immense value, especially for the world Li Yu was in, which was entirely made of technological creations.

[Clone One deployed successfully. Please check the Task Log after the task ends.]

He believed that after the painful torture of DC, Clone One wouldn't disappoint him again.
