Someone immediately tried to draw a gun, but thankfully, they were held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were an interstellar race with eyes growing out of their foreheads, requiring special refractive glasses just to see what was directly in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of these marauders could stand the sight of each other, but given the current situation and the fact that their main target had yet to appear, they could only suppress their anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A squad of Silver Star-people carefully approached the two rooms, hiding sideways behind the walls as they cautiously inputted the authorization passwords...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the harsh screech of grinding hinges, a barrage of smoke grenades, EMP grenades, and even nerve gas grenades were tossed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of muffled explosions echoed one after another within the rooms. However, the anticipated wails of agony never came, giving the marauders a strong sense of foreboding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the inn... in a distant corner, three people who had already changed their disguises looked up at the red, white, and yellow smoke seeping through the gaps in the second-floor windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These guys really are... cautious,\" Li Yu muttered, briefly rendered speechless. He made a mental note to stock up on some smoke grenades and EMPs in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several pale white land speeders darted out from around the corner. Shaped like duck eggs and spewing exhaust flames from both sides, their surfaces were covered in bone graffiti. They were flanked by two combat squads clad in pale white armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were about twenty of them, exuding a heavy, murderous aura. Their armor was riddled with pitted dents. Although it looked incredibly intimidating, it actually exposed the reality that they lacked basic logistical support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Pale Guard has been deployed...\" Li Yu's eyes flickered. He already had a general understanding of the Pale Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the headquarters of the Pale marauder legion and the true masters of this area. They did not care about the internal slaughter among the marauders; they only mobilized for profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatch of a land speeder opened, and a tall figure leaped out, wearing armor that looked as if it had been forged from white bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With bone-claw ornaments on his shoulders, he wielded a bone blade with a serrated back. A suffocating murderous intent washed over the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very few people in interstellar space used pure melee weapons, but if they did, it undoubtedly meant the weapon was far deadlier than standard firearms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was of the interstellar human race, wearing no helmet, his hair tied into small braids. After stepping off the vehicle, he subconsciously touched a centipede-like scar on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His predatory gaze swept the surroundings, and no one dared to meet his eyes. He let out a disdainful chuckle and waved his hand. \"Throw all those pieces of trash out and take over this place. Do not let a single Six-Horned Fly escape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were quite orderly, far superior to the average marauder. Guards were posted at every corridor, while the land speeders ascended, extending several laser emitters to cover the entire perimeter of the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donkey-man walked out of the inn with a sycophantic smile. \"Lord Bone Fiend...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have they not left yet?\" Bone Fiend looked up at the second floor of the inn, where plumes of multi-colored smoke continued to billow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over the past few hours, barely anyone has left...\" the Donkey-man replied, keeping his head bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good...\" Bone Fiend nodded. Just then, a flurry of gunshots and agonized screams rang out from the second floor, causing the Donkey-man to shudder in fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the gunfire died down. A squad member descended and reported, \"Lord Bone Fiend, the marauders have been dealt with. We left one alive, but we did not find those individuals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\" Bone Fiend's eyes instantly widened, shooting a glare at the Donkey-man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donkey-man was so terrified he could barely stand, his donkey legs trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... no...\" he cried with a miserable face. \"That's impossible. Only five or six people left in total over these past few hours. Those three weren't among them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"L-Lord Bone Fiend...\" A marauder was dragged out. Seeing the man clad in bone armor, his heart nearly stopped. His pupils constricted, and his four octopus legs went completely limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are they?\" The scar on Bone Fiend's face seemed to writhe, making him look absolutely hideous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Bone Fiend, we don't know either! When we rushed in, the rooms were completely empty. Both rooms... completely empty...\" he explained hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bone Fiend frowned. With a sweeping strike of his bone blade, an octopus head fell off and rolled across the ground a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted to the Donkey-man, who instantly prostrated himself on the floor. Trembling violently, he pleaded with a sob in his voice, \"M-My Lord, I truly don't know... I didn't lie to you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"White King, take over this inn. Review all the security footage from within during this time frame... and...\" Bone Fiend ordered, pressing a finger to his earpiece before glancing around the area, \"...the surveillance cameras nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the marauders frequently engaged in random brawls, many of the nearby cameras had already been destroyed, but there were still a few functional ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Excellency Bone Fiend... the inn's surveillance stopped operating two hours ago, and the existing footage has been overwritten...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The nearby cameras are the same way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold voice echoed in his ear. Bone Fiend's face instantly contorted in rage. The footage was overwritten... what did that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant... two whole hours of surveillance footage were gone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party had simply deleted the footage, it might have been recoverable. However, they had directly shut down the surveillance system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Donkey-man trembled even more violently...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those people must have concealed their identities... You old donkey, you must remember the people who left in the past two hours, right?\" Bone Fiend asked, narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember... I remember...\" the Donkey-man replied hastily. But he didn't remember a thing. Who in their right mind spent all day staring at everyone who walked out the door?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only subconsciously glanced up when someone walked past, and even then, he only caught sight of their backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, if he told the truth... he would probably be killed on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, Li Yu and the other two observed this farce. The Star Glory Empire was making quite a fuss. Two hundred million Star Coins wasn't a staggering amount, but the most crucial part was the declaration—their fleet had entered the No Man's Land System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many smart individuals could see through the Star Glory Empire's true intentions, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who told them to actually lose an Imperial Noble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one wanted to provoke the Star Glory Empire, especially when the other side had a legitimate excuse to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the Pale Land was terrified when they discovered those two individuals were actually on their turf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Coins were a minor issue. Nobody wanted to wake up in the morning only to find a Star Glory Empire fleet hovering right above their bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can't stay here much longer...\" Li Yu figured that if they couldn't find him, they would mobilize even greater forces. If he accidentally drew suspicion, these marauders wouldn't care for evidence. They lived by the rule: better to kill mistakenly than to let one escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To leave this place...\" Hunter's shiny bald head gleamed as he looked a bit hesitant. \"We'll need a spaceship...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A spaceship...\" Li Yu muttered, his eyes unconsciously drifting toward Hunter's bald head. Before Hunter could get annoyed, Li Yu flew into a sudden rage. \"Your head is distracting me from thinking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter was incredibly indignant. He hadn't even complained about Li Yu's blatant discrimination against his head, yet the other guy had the audacity to attack first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where would we get the money to buy a spaceship? Even a fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth-hand ship costs tens of millions...\" Hunter grumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brand-new spaceship capable of interstellar travel was basically never less than a hundred million Star Coins. After all, manufacturing a warp drive was exorbitantly expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, most people wouldn't choose a brand-new factory ship, simply because they were too expensive...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority opted for second to fifth-hand ships with fewer than ten thousand warp jumps logged. If a ship had passed through too many hands, who knew what parts had been swapped out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was far too unsafe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the crux of the problem was that Li Yu and his group had a total net worth of less than a hundred thousand right now. A spaceship? At best, they could afford a spaceship seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to find a way to sell the Gene Chain...\" Li Yu frowned. But they were strangers in a strange land. Rashly trying to fence stolen goods would likely cause a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter rubbed his head, once again involuntarily drawing Li Yu's gaze. Without his cowboy hat, he just rubbed his bald head, huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter snorted in displeasure. \"I'll go make a call and ask around...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked off to the side, dialed a communication frequency, and started muttering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Captain-class officers of the Shining Star Legion were absolutely no simple characters. Individual strength was merely one aspect, and not even the most crucial one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a captain... rarely drew a blade and charged into melee combat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every officer at the Captain level and above in the Radiant Star Legion having been exiled, they definitely had their own ways of staying in touch. This represented an immensely terrifying network of connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu knew it, Mo Duo knew it, and Hunter himself knew it. It was just that none of them had ever brought it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take long for Hunter to return, muttering curses under his breath. He grumbled, \"I found a channel here, but it's only about fifty percent reliable. It was an old brother's line, but the contact person for this line has changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive...\" Li Yu gave a thumbs up. \"One phone call and the problem is solved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter scoffed coldly, the corner of his mouth curling into an unnatural smirk. It was rare to hear sensible talk out of Li Yu's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you end up falling so low?\" Li Yu followed up with a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn't that your damn fault!?\" Hunter instantly lost it. \"I was living the high life at the Junkyard! Who wouldn't respectfully call me 'Big Brother Hunter' when they saw me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ever since I bumped into you, I've had nothing but bad luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't maliciously accuse people...\" Li Yu's expression darkened. \"What the hell does it have to do with me? Weren't you the one who tried to kill me first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just trying to scare you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit. You know exactly what you were thinking. If it wasn't for my overwhelming strength and outstanding personal charm, could I have made you submit!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell submitted to you?\" Hunter's face flushed bright red with anger. \"I could call in a hundred brothers with a single phone call and blast you into ash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then call them!\" Li Yu yelled back. His loud voice attracted the attention of quite a few marauders nearby, who couldn't help but nod approvingly after overhearing their argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of marauder brothers; killing each other was the true essence of their brotherhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want me to call them, so I should call them? I refuse!\" Hunter retorted righteously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo watched the two of them bicker with an expressionless face. Leaning against the wall, her tall frame and long, straight legs perfectly highlighted her flawless figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey there... fiery-eyed hottie...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A passing interstellar human whistled at the beautiful Mo Duo, thrusting his hips and flashing a vulgar, lecherous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck are you whistling at!\" Li Yu abruptly turned his head, his face turning frigid. He pulled out a pistol, raised his hand, and fired a single shot. Bang! The man collapsed on the spot, twitching uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter's eyes twitched slightly... 'Damn... I got carried away. I forgot I'm still in this kid's hands...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... let's go sell the goods first...\" Hunter said, gazing into the distance with feigned nonchalance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you talking to?\" Li Yu asked, casually twirling the pistol he had looted from the Red Fox Brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter took a deep breath and replied helplessly, \"Boss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Li Yu stow the pistol away, following Hunter toward their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called channel was located in Black Skull's territory. It was a place for fencing stolen goods that had internal partnerships with multiple merchant guilds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of yellow eyes peered out from a slit in the mechanical door, scanning Li Yu and the other two before demanding in a muffled voice, \"Password...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\" Hunter spat out a string of words in an unknown language. One could not underestimate the password; different passwords targeted different people. Through the password, they could determine who recommended you and exactly how you should be treated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the prices would fluctuate accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard paused for a moment... before muttering, \"It's been a long time since anyone used this password...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a screeching friction sound, the mechanical door slid open. A wave of sweltering heat, mingled with a cacophony of noise, washed over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a massive warehouse where a large number of interstellar races bustled about, hurling all sorts of profanities. Numerous metal tables were arranged throughout the space...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many marauders were carrying various items around to get them appraised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a top-tier Water Rhino horn from Bahubali...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty thousand Star Coins...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, fifteen million! I knew it! Faking being in a vegetative state for nine months totally paid off!\" In the distance, a half-human-sized yellow mouse burst into manic laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has Thorn Rat gone crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He found the feces of a Nebula Thunder Leopard. A big shot from the Star Glory Empire has been relentlessly collecting its genes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people whispered in discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others simply left with their heads lowered, their eyes glinting with malicious intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three newcomers did not attract anyone's attention. Guided by the doorman, they headed straight for the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, someone used a tier-one password...\" The doorman, who looked like a Leopard, reported softly in front of another mechanical door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical door opened, revealing a spacious office to the group. Lacking any overt technological elements, the room instead carried a sense of elegance. Behind a pale red wood-grain desk sat a green Goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a pale red suit, was missing one ear, and sported a warm, genial smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Goblin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them felt a twinge of surprise. Goblins were generally considered bottom-feeders in society; very few ever rose to become important figures. This particular Goblin was far from simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You three... please, take a seat...\" The Goblin raised a hand, and three chairs rose seamlessly from the floor. He swept his gaze over the trio, pausing for a fraction of a second on Mo Duo's crimson pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been a long time since anyone used a tier-one password...\" He seemed somewhat nostalgic. \"My father used to say that if someone ever used a tier-one password, they were to be treated as our most esteemed guests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I honestly thought I'd never encounter one in my lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Goblin seemed utterly sincere. He clapped his hands, and immediately, a few beautiful Enville young ladies emerged from the shadows, delicately carrying a bottle of crimson liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A century-old fine wine from the Blue Cellar Star... I rarely bear to drink it myself...\" he joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo shook her head, indicating her refusal to drink...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm allergic to alcohol,\" Li Yu lied without missing a beat...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A half-beat too slow, Hunter looked at the gazes directed his way. He opened his mouth... but just couldn't manage to force out a refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drinking a stranger's wine... in a place like this, it was an incredibly terrible idea...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... since Li Yu and Mo Duo had already declined, if Hunter also refused, who knew if this Goblin would take offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a grimace, Hunter reluctantly downed the glass and offered a few nervous words of flattery. It seemed... it wasn't spiked?\u003C\u002Fp>",2771,"2026-06-05T20:43:33.578Z",1,"novelbin.me","5525aadd6cc5f28576e7110b54e9074a78c2ba4a3d0e1ecec5f4efade761cf5c","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-89","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-87",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--cover.jpg"]
