Chapter 389: [Special Blueprint - Death Star]

Nie Shu stood in place, seemingly still not reacting. Then... his expression changed drastically, oh no... the "torture" program!

If anything happened to Ramon, the supervisor would probably skin him alive!

He rushed out of there at extreme speed, heading to where Ramon was locked up.

"This is your last chance."

Nie Shu's subordinate pushed over a mottled-looking device. While setting up the program, he didn't forget to psychologically attack Ramon.

Ramon had long made up his mind, keeping his mouth shut. At the very beginning of his exile, it was Barton who gave him a livelihood and properly arranged for his parents and family.

So this life of his already belonged to Barton.

"I hope you can endure it. I know the most powerful Mechanical Cyborg only lasted for three days under this program."

"After three days... his brain exploded..."

Before this guy could finish speaking, he suddenly flew out from where he stood, violently crashing into the surrounding walls, then falling to the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

His reaction was extremely fast, immediately climbing up from the ground, shouting while looking for cover.

"Shut up!" Nie Shu appeared at his original position, saying coldly.

"Bo... Boss?" He was somewhat bewildered, vigilance still hidden in his eyes, thinking it was someone in disguise.

""

Nie Shu also knew what this subordinate was thinking, spitting out a string of secret codes from his mouth.

Hearing this string of secret codes, he finally relaxed, rubbing his lower back, getting up and saying: "Boss, how did I offend you, to strike so ruthlessly."

Footsteps came from outside the room, clearly the people who just heard "Enemy attack". Nie Shu spent some more time to let everyone understand this was just a misunderstanding.

At the same time, casting a puzzled gaze at the guy who was kicked. That guy was also bewildered, only able to look at Nie Shu.

Then, he saw an unbelievable scene.

He saw the usually unsmiling Boss actually force a smile on his face, lifting Ramon from the ground, inquiring:

"Are... are you okay?"

Ramon, whose four limbs had been removed leaving only his torso, blinked his blurry eyes. What do you think?

The others' eyes instantly widened, simultaneously retreating several steps backwards, forming a ring to surround Nie Shu, shouting sternly: "Who exactly are you!?"

"What have you done to the Boss!?"

"..."

Very obviously, Nie Shu's actions once again raised strong suspicion in them.

"I am Nie Shu!" Nie Shu squeezed this sentence out through his teeth. Because of the supervisor's order, his mood was already not too good, and now it was even worse.

"Impossible!"

The crowd spoke with absolute certainty, someone had already run behind Nie Shu, preparing for a sneak attack.

"Prepare the gene verification..." Nie Shu said indifferently, knowing his current behavior was indeed outrageous, not explaining too much.

The crowd Looked at Each Other in Dismay. Is this guy cooperating this much?

Half in doubt, they fetched the Genetic Detection Equipment. In just a few minutes, they confirmed it, the person in front of them was indeed Nie Shu!

"Boss, sorry..." The crowd hurriedly put away their Weapons and equipment.

Nie Shu had no mood to blame them, instead ordering: "Go fetch the spare Mechanical Modules, and bring back the removed Energy Core..."

The crowd had strange expressions. It wasn't until Nie Shu urged them again that they got up and left.

"What exactly is going on, he doesn't look like the Boss no matter how you look at it." On the way to fetch the items, a few agents discussed in low voices.

"It has already passed gene verification, he is the Boss."

"Gene verification isn't 100% accurate either, I heard there are Espers who can change their own genes."

"Do you think a faction with that kind of Esper would play this kind of trick to tease us?"

"That's true..."

At this moment, it wasn't just them who were bewildered, but also the lifted Ramon.

Nie Shu used the spare Energy nearby to let him resume basic physiological functions, his vision gradually becoming clear.

Ramon couldn't quite figure out the situation in front of him, vigilance still in his heart, saying in a deep voice:

"Are you trying to use this method to make me relax my guard?"

Nie Shu maintained a stiff smile on his face: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. You are actually not the mission target, we made a mistake."

Made a mistake?

Ramon felt he was having auditory hallucinations. The other party had already figured out his Identity and background clearly and plainly, how could they make a mistake?

Did they think he was that easy to fool? Wait... couldn't this be a simulated virtual reality? He instantly became even more vigilant.

Nie Shu continued: "You can leave with us now. The Spaceship has already been prepared, we will arrive at the Central Star System very soon."

"Not going..." Ramon said in a deep voice: "I'm not going anywhere. Don't think this kind of crude virtual reality can dispel my guard."

Nie Shu almost crushed his back molars. He also wished this was an illusion simulated by an Artificial Intelligence, unfortunately it wasn't.

Looking at Ramon's meaning, if he didn't figure out exactly what was going on, he definitely wouldn't be willing to leave here.

The supervisor had also repeatedly instructed to send him over respectfully, no force allowed.

And Nie Shu was also holding a bellyful of anger, simply too lazy to fool him anymore, retracting his stiff smile, saying directly: "Our supervisor said a Major Cosmic Figure is protecting you. I have no choice, I can only send you away."

"Major Cosmic Figure?" Ramon looked dumbfounded. Where would a group of people like them in Returning Star find a Major Cosmic Figure.

A single sentence could absolve him of guilt, and make these agents treat him so politely.

Where did such an awesome person come from? And why help him?

"Any impressions?" Nie Shu was also very curious about this: "Your mission was assigned after layers of verification. The source of intelligence and your personal background have been investigated several times."

"If a Major Cosmic Figure knew you, it's impossible they would only take action now."

Nie Shu also had his own Petty Schemes. He could die in a life-and-death struggle with enemies, but didn't want to die in internal conspiracies and calculations.

So he hinted to Ramon, although I was the one who took action to catch you, I was just executing a mission.

He was saved after being captured. Ramon's first thought was Barton.

But Barton couldn't possibly have such great power, otherwise they wouldn't need to Live in constant hiding.

A Major Cosmic Figure of Returning Star... A Major Cosmic Figure of Returning Star, Ramon racked his brains but couldn't remember. The only "Friend" he knew who had ties with Returning Star was Zeth Longbottom...

Wait... Zeth!

Ramon's pupils shrank. Zeth was Augustus's top disciple, many exiled Captains secretly paid attention to his tracks.

He naturally couldn't influence Returning Star, but there was someone beside him who could influence, and that was Li Yu!

Li Yu had just fought a heaven-defying battle record in Amethyst, his momentum was booming. Now he wasn't a nouveau riche, but someone about to enter the ranks of true Major Cosmic Figures.

If it was him, everything could be explained.

He remembered when Li Yu's battle record just spread out, Barton fiercely smoked several boxes of Cigars, angrily cursing Zeth for a long time, saying he didn't know where Zeth got such good luck to actually be able to hug such a thick thigh.

He and Zeth once had a pretty good relationship. At that time he was quite happy, happy for Zeth.

He didn't expect that it would actually be Zeth who saved him now.

"You know who it is?" Nie Shu noticed Ramon's constantly flickering expression.

Ramon looked at this agent, with no intention of hiding it, his voice hoarse: "It's Li Yu."

"It's Your Excellency... Li Yu!?"

Nie Shu's shock was far stronger than his. Who was Li Yu!?

Li Yu had legendary experiences in Returning Star, climbing in both Strength and Status simultaneously with a Rocket Speed.

If it was him, Nie Shu's mind spun rapidly, also coming to an understanding.

Returning Star's intelligence personnel all knew that by Your Excellency Li Yu's side, there was a Captain exiled by the Star Glory Empire.

It was just that Zeth didn't have much value, so many people Turned a Blind Eye.

And the person in front of him was also a Captain exiled by the Star Glory Empire. The relationship between the two before might have been very good, this time it was precisely Zeth who persuaded Li Yu.

Why didn't I think of this before?

Nie Shu secretly cursed himself for being too stupid, at the same time angrily cursing those mission reviewers.

Since this relationship existed, they should have considered Your Excellency Li Yu's attitude towards this matter.

However, calculating the time, when this mission was assigned.

Li Yu hadn't fought that heaven-defying battle record in Amethyst yet. Even if his previous department considered this relationship, they probably wouldn't care.

But now Li Yu's Status and Strength were completely different, the department behind him couldn't ignore the other party's influence either.

"Since you understand, then let's go." Nie Shu said to Ramon.

Ramon nodded silently, adding: "Give my things back to me."

"I know."

Not long after, Nie Shu's subordinates brought various Mechanical Modules and equipped Ramon with them.

Facing the dim light, Ramon suddenly felt completely different from before.

.........

"No problem, after I return, I will definitely attend the appointment." Li Yu smiled and hung up the communication. Opposite him was an Middle-Aged Man with an even more enthusiastic smile.

According to Klein, he was the supreme commander of a certain secret department, and also someone from Vimala's camp.

At the same time, the Air Bubble popped out by the [Titan Colonization Armor] retracted, the perspective reversed, and a resplendent crimson star was right in front of Li Yu.

Baiting and coronal waves appeared from time to time, all high-energy activities that frequently appeared on stars.

He was bare-chested, revealing strong and well-proportioned muscles. On the surface of his skin, wisps of faint golden radiance flowed, merging into his body from time to time.

Warm currents darted around within his body, diving into deeper genetic levels, subtly enhancing his power.

"It does have some effect, but it requires staying in one place for a long time..." Li Yu pondered, the Meteor Fleet was parked not far away waiting for him.

He didn't want to waste too much time on the road, mainly to avoid being ambushed by others, so he didn't plan to stay too long.

Therefore, he temporarily couldn't quantify how long he had to sunbathe to increase his Gene Chain Development Progress.

"Go back and let Peyton research it, see if he can come up with some portable Stellar Radiation or something like that." Li Yu made a decision in his heart, and went straight back to the Main Ship.

After returning to the Ship Cabin, he casually said to Hunter: "The matter is resolved. When we return to the Central Star System, that Ramon should also arrive."

Hunter nodded. With their relationship, there was no need to say words of thanks. He sighed: "The intelligence Barton went through untold hardships to obtain, fell into your hands just like this."

"He probably still doesn't know what asking for your help will attract."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of schadenfreude.

Li Yu chuckled lightly and shook his head: "He doesn't know?"

"Have you ever thought that he might have intentionally lured me into getting involved in this matter?"

Hearing this, Hunter was suddenly startled, frowning: "Is there this possibility?"

"He definitely knew you would tell me about Gensokyo. Something as good as Gensokyo, even the Star Glory Empire cares a lot about it, let alone me."

"And Ramon just happens to be carrying crucial information. If I step in to help, I will definitely help him escape danger, but I won't let him leave easily."

"With Gensokyo right in front of them, how many people could remain unmoved? Of course, it can't be ruled out that he is truly at the end of his rope."

Hunter thought carefully, sure enough, the more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong, immediately Gnashing His Teeth: "This Bastard, actually harboring ill intentions, who is behind him, the Star Glory Empire?"

"He accidentally leaked earlier that he still has contact with the Star Glory Empire."

Li Yu continued to shake his head: "If my guess just now is correct, then this Barton couldn't possibly be 'accidental'."

"His accident might have been intentional, intentionally making us think of the Star Glory Empire."

"Fuck..." Hunter rubbed his brow, feeling his pig brain overloaded, simply asking directly: "Then what do we do now?"

Li Yu's tone was relaxed, the Mental Tempering Device still running: "No need to worry, the initiative is in my hands. Whether it's a pit or not, jump or not, I have the final say."

Hunter Hesitated to Speak, his expression fluctuating, and finally could only sigh.

And Li Yu had already gone to look through the [System Log], to see if there were any new rewards during this period.

I'll be damned, Li Yu's eyes lit up slightly, finding good stuff among the massive amount of information.

[Obtained Special Blueprint - Death Star: A special construction blueprint. Continuous input of resources can increase the construction progress.

When the progress reaches 100%, it can unfold into a genuine Death Star.]

The Second Clone recently came into contact with the Death Star, and last time obtained [Death Star Shine].

And this time even obtained the [Death Star Blueprint]. This kind of special blueprint didn't require manual labor, only needing the injection of resources.

Very obviously, this was another massive money burner, but it also made his mood quite pleasant.

......

And as Li Yu got closer and closer to the Return Star Central Star System, the aftermath of the great Amethyst battle fermented increasingly violently.

On Returning Star's internal network, the discussion heat about Li Yu was the highest. Various entries scrolled in turns, various astonishing Headlines detonating netizens' eyeballs.

#Savior: The Gift Bestowed Upon Returning Star by the Universe!

#Scarlet Scandal: The Untold Story Between the Mermaid Princess and the Baron!

#Savior or Privileged Individual: Digging into Li Yu's History of Rising to Power, and Unknown Transactions with Certain Major Cosmic Figures.

Either praising him for his Merit or spurning him for the "Sword-Bearer Medal" incident.

Amidst this kind of Public Opinion Trend, countless people were all waiting for Li Yu's return.
