Chapter 603: I Really Am a Good Person

"Pleasure cooperating with you..." Vissa stood up and shook hands with Li Yu. The two stood facing each other, both wearing smiles on their faces.

On the other side, many Staff Members had already begun editing.

This was the time with the highest popularity. Releasing this kind of exclusive interview news even one second late would result in a lot of losses.

Vissa casually offered some Flattery, "I've heard Olivia mention you often in the past. That brief encounter was a wealth that will benefit her for a lifetime."

"Having a Teacher like you is the Mermaid Princess's most precious wealth," Li Yu chimed in.

Some of the accompanying Staff Members couldn't help but look at the two conversing so happily.

Although Vissa's interstellar status was very high, his status as a star made many high-level lifeforms look down on him.

Not to mention the A5 Level, these top-tier interstellar lifeforms, even some Tier A4 Advanced Lifeforms had repeatedly spoken rudely to Vissa in public.

However, all of those people were Bafflingly exposed with various scandals afterwards, falling into a state of notoriety.

This made the other Staff Members feel an additional layer of respect while also fearing Li Yu.

"The last time I came here, it was still during Digor's administration. That iron-blooded emperor left a very deep impression on me. It's a pity..." Vissa's eyes carried a faint sorrow, as if he truly felt pity for Digor's death.

"Yes..." Li Yu also nodded in agreement, his eyes carrying thirty percent nostalgia, thirty percent sorrow, and thirty percent pity. "His influence on me was immense."

Vissa paused for a moment. "XXX's influence on me was immense."

This kind of sentence structure had already appeared many times during the exclusive interview just now.

It seemed like everyone had an immense influence on Li Yu, making him secretly shake his head.

The two stood side by side, and Li Yu escorted Vissa out of the room, showing high respect.

Vissa also seemed very happy about this. "You are a humble and low-profile person. I believe that in the future, you will definitely dominate the Interstellar."

Finally, upon parting, Vissa still didn't forget to deliver a bout of Flattery.

"I hope there comes such a day." Li Yu smiled, inexplicably feeling that this guy Vissa was actually pretty nice.

They weren't going to leave Returning Star for the time being. Klein had already arranged a guide and would properly entertain this interstellar star.

"Vissa's reputation is very high. Building a good relationship with him, I might be able to use his prestige to do some..."

However, on his way back, Li Yu's footsteps suddenly paused, and the faint smile on his face vanished instantly.

Something was wrong. How could he have this kind of thought?

He clearly hadn't intended to pay any attention to this Masked Man in the beginning, so why did he suddenly have such a favorable impression of him now?

Li Yu felt something was amiss. His mental resistance wasn't low, and others couldn't control him through mental means.

He pondered for a moment, and eventually took out the Virtual Glasses, digitizing himself, and then opened the status panel.

Sure enough, he discovered a new status.

[Charm -- A Talent ability from the Spirit Fey. Surrounding lifeforms will involuntarily develop a favorable impression of him. The influence on you is limited.]

Spirit Fey?

Li Yu was slightly stunned, certain that he had never heard of this race in the Interstellar.

Subsequently, he had Claptrap search Returning Star's highest Database, but there were no results either.

This race seemed to have never appeared in this Interstellar region at all.

No wonder Vissa had become an evergreen tree among interstellar stars; it was entirely because of his own race and this Talent ability.

It was just that the influence of this Talent ability on high-level lifeforms was clearly limited, and it was easily discovered.

But if it were anyone else, they would at most think Vissa's charm was simply too high. Only Li Yu could materialize this status and get a detailed explanation.

After figuring it out, Li Yu closed the data status, preparing to go back and ask Bloodlust to see if this old geezer knew anything.

Returning to Jade Void Palace, he found Bloodlust and noticed this guy was currently adapting to his new body.

"Do you know about the Spirit Fey race?" Li Yu asked casually.

At the same time, he sat in his chair, and the soft mechanical massage fingers had already attached themselves, relaxing his body.

"Why do you always ask such obscure questions?" Bloodlust's tone was also quite casual. He believed he had already figured out Li Yu's purpose.

Now that he was in a semi-cooperative state with the other party, he was no longer nervous and afraid.

"You know?" Li Yu was a bit surprised. He had only asked casually, not expecting this guy to actually know.

"They are a race from the same era as the Titan Civilization, and they even participated in that war. It's just that they didn't have much presence," Bloodlust explained.

During the Titan Civilization era, although the Titans were the rulers of this Universe domain, it didn't mean there were no other biological races in this Universe.

For instance, the Spirit Fey were a race from the same era as the Titan Civilization.

It was just that in Bloodlust's eyes, this race had nothing praiseworthy, and their combat power wasn't considered formidable.

Li Yu wasn't confused by this passage. Whether their combat power was formidable or not depended on what they were being compared to.

Bloodlust was clearly comparing them to the two behemoths, the Titan Civilization and the Creator Civilization.

"I didn't expect Vissa to have this kind of origin..." Li Yu muttered a couple of sentences but didn't pay it much mind for the time being.

Following that, looking at the exercising Bloodlust, he began his daily routine of coaxing information. Information was extracted bit by bit just like this.

Although Bloodlust knew Li Yu was coaxing him, in his perception, as long as he didn't leak the most crucial information—namely, how to break free from the Creator Civilization's restraints.

The rest of the information couldn't be considered too precious. For example, introductions to the attack weapons of the Titan Civilization; so what if he told him?

Not long after, Sinai knocked on the door and walked in, reporting, "A Transformation Legion has arrived at the Benfir Civilization."

"However, a coup occurred within the Benfir Civilization. The former president, Robert, has been imprisoned. The current acting president is named Sage."

"He requests a meeting with you and is willing to pay compensation to settle this matter."

Hearing this, a hint of thought flashed across Li Yu's eyes. The former president was imprisoned—that was the guy who ordered him to be drawn into the ambush ring.

He obviously had to bear the primary responsibility for this matter. No matter how you looked at it, he would be pushed out to bear Li Yu's wrath.

The citizens of the Benfir Civilization had already been regarded by him as potential Believers. To handle this matter, a trip was necessary.

"Open a Dimensional Rift. I'm going to take a trip," Li Yu stood up and said.

………

Benfir Civilization, Capital Star System. Sage had already become the acting president.

Behind him were several silver-white Mechanical Cages, which held a group of High Echelon members of the Benfir Civilization, including the former president.

And in front of him was a squad of Humanoid Machines, their mechanical pupils scanning everyone before them.

"Sage, do you think throwing us out will quell the other party's anger?" A High Echelon member imprisoned in a Cage shouted hysterically:

"I'm telling you, it's useless! We've already completely offended the other party. He won't rest until he Squeezes Dry the entire civilization!"

"Let us leave now, and we can still retain a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, the entire civilization will be erased from the Interstellar!"

"..."

Many High Echelon members were still unwilling to give up, constantly advising Sage in hopes that he would let them go so they could flee together.

Robert, who had been silent all this time, sneered, "Heh, save your breath. General Sage is not like us. Both of his sons died on the battlefield, and his wife left him long ago."

"He's completely alone now, without any attachments whatsoever. That's why he can so righteously live or die with the civilization."

Sage's eyes shifted slightly, but he still didn't speak. He merely stared at the squad of Humanoid Machines, the furrows on his face like weathered rocks.

"General Sage, you are an A-rank lifeform. You can have as many descendants as you want. Why stay here?" Lu Neng said, unwilling to resign himself to his fate.

"Shut up!" Sage shouted coldly. His assistant immediately pressed a button on the video panel next to the Cage, and azure Electric Arcs shot through the Cage, drawing a wave of wails.

Right at this moment, a Dimensional Rift slowly formed in the center of the Humanoid Machines. This caused Sage's expression to change instantly, seeming somewhat apprehensive and tense, yet he quickly calmed down.

The electrical current in the Cage vanished, but the prisoners didn't feel any relief. Instead, they looked at the Dimensional Rift with even more fearful eyes.

A figure slowly walked out from within; it was Li Yu. His expression was apathetic, followed by a large number of Guard Corps soldiers, all selected and trained from the Indigenous Inhabitants of the Dimensional Ship.

He scanned his surroundings, getting a rough idea of the situation. Under Li Yu's sweeping gaze, the numerous High Echelon members of the Benfir Civilization could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, trembling incessantly.

Some even blacked out and directly lost consciousness, fainting inside the Cage.

"Your Excellency Li Yu!" Sage said in a deep voice, lowering his proud head without hesitation. Before this person, he had no capital to be arrogant.

"These are the sinners who colluded with that unknown faction. They are now entirely handed over to you to deal with."

He was very decisive. There was no negotiation or transaction, nor did he beg for Li Yu's forgiveness. He directly handed over the sinners.

"Lord Li Yu, we had no choice! If we didn't agree, they would have killed us."

"You should also understand that being dragged into this conflict was truly not our original intention."

"..."

The people in the Cage began to beg for Li Yu's forgiveness. The soldiers behind Li Yu had already begun to step forward, raising their Energy Guns without any hesitation.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

But along with the sharp sound of energy piercing through the air, the numerous prisoners fell to the ground in response.

Li Yu didn't pay attention to the prisoners in the Cage. Those people didn't hold much value, and Li Yu had even less interest in speaking more with them.

Only Robert was left alive. He didn't beg for mercy, because he knew that from the moment he was intercepted by Sage, the outcome was already determined.

Instead, Li Yu looked at Sage before him with interest and said:

"You think it ends like this?"

"Please tell us if you have any other demands. We will definitely satisfy them to the best of our ability." Sage still didn't raise his head, his voice calm.

"I want the entire Benfir Civilization," Li Yu stated.

Sage didn't immediately understand Li Yu's meaning and said directly, "Please clarify..."

"I want to relocate all the citizens of the Benfir Civilization to a single place." Li Yu was also very direct and didn't conceal anything. In his view, there was no need to hide it.

"This!" Sage abruptly raised his head, his eyes full of shock. "What are you going to do!?"

This was the inevitable implication of relocating Interstellar Citizens. Everyone would think of some bad things.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Yu asked in return.

"Those citizens are innocent. If your anger still hasn't subsided, I can make the Benfir Civilization a vassal of Returning Star," Sage said anxiously.

He was truly panicked, not expecting Li Yu to be so cruel.

"You misunderstood. I don't harbor such a boring thing as anger, and I also know the citizens of the Benfir Civilization are innocent. That's why I'm preparing to do this."

Li Yu's tone was indifferent. He could tell that the guy in front of him truly seemed to be thinking for the sake of the Benfir Civilization.

"You, you..." Sage's eyes suddenly became incomparably fierce, but were then filled with helplessness. Finally, he could only spit out a few words: "The Interstellar Society will condemn you!"

"Haha..." The loud laughter didn't come from Li Yu, but from Robert, whose life had been spared.

"Condemnation from the Interstellar Society? Do you think he cares about that kind of thing? Sage, I told you long ago, fleeing was the only way!"

"Unfortunately..."

Li Yu shook his head, somewhat Speechless. "Why are you making me out to be some homicidal maniac? I'm just planning to give the innocent citizens of the Benfir Civilization a place to retire."

Sinai opportunely stepped forward, handed Li Yu a Tablet, and stood quietly by Li Yu's side.

Even in this Life-or-Death Matter, the eyes of both Sage and Robert blanked for a moment.

"According to your latest social survey data, the average working hours of the Benfir Civilization's citizens are between eight and twelve hours. This is considered quite high among the numerous interstellar civilizations."

Li Yu looked down at the data on the Tablet and said, "And the place I'm sending them to requires no work, no other fatigue. They eat, sleep, and sleep after eating. All kinds of leisure and entertainment activities are available."

"Isn't that better than you?"

Hearing these words, Sage froze for a moment. Then, his pupils contracted instantly as he said in horror, "Are you going to use them as biological materials!?"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Li Yu shook his head. "I'm not that cruel. I just need them to do me a small favor."
