Chapter 876: The Gems Are Gathered

Jade Void Palace, The Hunter's residence.

This place was like the simplest apartment. In the corners were several pots of green plants growing in bizarre shapes.

The Hunter lay on the sofa, bored to death as he watched an R18 program on the projection. Although the Plot was tense and exciting, and the voices were high-pitched and powerful.

It was still difficult to cause the slightest fluctuation in his state of mind.

Advanced Lifeforms often fell into this kind of situation. After various desires were satisfied, bewilderment would occupy their hearts.

Constantly evolving towards a higher level was not only an instinct of life, but also a good medicine for Advanced Lifeforms to alleviate this emotion.

Unfortunately, The Hunter himself was not a "genius." Even with massive amounts of resources piled up, he was still a distance away from being an A-Tier Lifeform.

More importantly, last time he had learned some information from Li Yu's Omniscient State that made it difficult for him to let go.

When he was alone, he would often fall into this kind of "sage" state.

"Sigh, you still understand me best..." The Hunter looked at his right hand. After Seeing it All, he ultimately still had to Return to Basics and embrace his enlightening good friend.

"Ding dong."

A knock on the door suddenly sounded. The Hunter trembled in fright, looking around with a Guilty Conscience.

A Holographic Screen popped up in front of him. The person knocking was Tu Ying. Beside the tall Troll was a relatively petite female Troll.

"Tu Ying, this kid, really has no discernment..." The Hunter muttered a couple of sentences, then suddenly said: "Almost forgot, today is the day he brings his 'Girlfriend' to meet the parents."

"Claptrap, clean the air a bit..." he said casually.

"Old rascal..." A complaining voice inexplicably sounded in the void.

"Perverted peeping tom..." The Hunter retorted without hesitation.

As the manager of the Jade Void Palace, Claptrap's "gaze" could not be avoided no matter what happened here.

The Hunter was somewhat unaccustomed to it at first, but now he had gotten used to it.

He kicked the few wads of toilet paper into the recycling equipment, tidied his clothes, and opened the door with a smile.

"Aiya, Tu Ying is really rar..." Before he could finish his sentence, a blood-colored figure flashed before his eyes and walked straight into the room.

Keller hugged her arms, looking around suspiciously: "Taking so long to open the door, you didn't hide some woman, did you?"

"Keller, why did you come back too?" The Hunter revealed an expression of disgust, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have opened the door..."

"She heard I was coming back, so she followed me back." Tu Ying explained.

"I just wanted to see Sister-in-Law..." Keller rolled her eyes, then walked over to that female Troll, affectionately hugging the other party's arm which was thicker than her waist, and said:

"Sister Thea, this uncle is The Hunter. Tu Ying was practically raised by him."

Tu Ying's Girlfriend, from the Star Glory Empire—Troll Legion—Raymond's daughter, could also be considered an Old Friend of theirs.

It was still quite surprising that the two of them could get together.

A string of information surfaced in The Hunter's mind. Since she could come to the Jade Void Palace, she must have passed a series of screenings.

"Uncle Hunter, I often hear Tu Ying mention you, saying you are his idol..." Thea looked a bit shy, hiding her body, which was twice the size of The Hunter, behind Tu Ying.

"Haha..." The Hunter laughed twice and said: "Come in quickly. Claptrap, get something delicious, try your Robot uncle's cooking..."

"Got it." Flowing Light rippled in the void, condensing into a small Unicycle Robot, directly producing a table full of dishes.

Although none of them needed to eat, this kind of atmosphere was still very warm.

"This is Lord Claptrap, the manager of this world..." Tu Ying introduced.

Thea looked at Claptrap curiously and greeted it.

"No, what are you doing here?" On the other hand, The Hunter looked at Claptrap and asked in confusion: "When did you become interested in this kind of thing?"

"I am here on behalf of my master." Claptrap condensed into Li Yu's appearance, its voice also somewhat similar, saying: "Do you have an opinion?"

The Hunter's expression stiffened. Looking at the few people who suddenly stopped communicating, he said crossly: "Hurry up and change back, how scary."

Claptrap subsequently changed back, saying to Thea: "Master is currently in Secluded retreat, so I will take his place for this meeting. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's... it's fine... Your Excellency Dragon Lord, just busy himself with his matters." Thea hurriedly waved her hand, appearing somewhat at a loss.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen grand scenes, but the name Dragon Sovereign was just too frightening.

"It's not some formal occasion..." The Hunter shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if the person is here, as long as the gift is."

"Master has already prepared it." Claptrap pointed a finger, and a Metal Giant Hammer appeared in front of Thea. Its entire body was charcoal-black, and there were a large number of metal spikes on the hammer head.

"Wow..." Brilliance burst forth in Thea's eyes, obviously very satisfied with this.

She was just about to reach out and take it, but hesitantly glanced at Tu Ying. After seeing him nod, she picked it up and swung it in her hand, creating a fierce wind.

Seeing this scene, The Hunter's head broke out in cold sweat. It was too f*cking bizarre.

"This is the user manual. It has many functions, which I won't introduce one by one." Claptrap handed over another manual.

Thea just remembered, taking out various small gifts from behind her.

"This is the Interstellar cowboy suit hand-sewn by Master Babuchi..."

The Hunter raised his eyebrows slightly. The corners of his mouth parted in a wide grin as he took it. The atmosphere instantly became more harmonious.

The group conversed for a moment, and Tu Ying suddenly said: "When will he come out of Secluded retreat?"

"According to speculations, Master should be able to complete his Evolution very soon." Claptrap's projection flickered, saying: "It should be within this recent period."

"By the way..." The Hunter put down the meat patty in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said: "After Li Yu's Evolution ends, we should be migrating. Now that you two are back this time, don't leave."

"Migrating? Where to?" Keller was somewhat surprised.

Her and Tu Ying, these two restless fellows, were active outside the Jade Void Palace all year round, so they temporarily didn't know this information.

With Thea present, Keller didn't ask excessively, but she also perceived that this migration should be different from previous movements.

...

A few days later, a certain Time Acceleration Space in the Jade Void Palace exploded. Boundless Energy was just about to explode outwards when it was suppressed back by an invisible force.
