Chapter 401: Is Seeking an Encounter in the Canghui Galaxy a Mistake?

Canghui Galaxy.

An azure star sea.

Baoshi Weng still couldn't figure out the specific referent of this concept term for the time being, but one point that seemed preliminarily confirmable was——

This was not the Milky Way that people of the Old Era, the Old World were familiar with.

At the very least, it did not completely equal the immutable nature of that ancient galaxy.

It wasn't simply a matter of the same thing changing to a different Designated Title, a case of same soup different medicine; rather, it portended a brand new, unknown cosmic order and mode of existence.

Judging from this point alone, everything seemed to have become even more intricate and complex; the situation of this World was quite perplexing.

But fortunately, the situation on his end was also quietly improving.

Rapidly switching from "unfavorable opening" into the "advantage is mine" phase.

Not only did he not have a serious Conflict with the Opposite Side, causing the incident to escalate into a direct firefight, but there was even an inexplicable momentum of relations advancing by leaps and bounds.

Mainly because the Opposite Side was too enthusiastic, putting on an act of "we have such affinity, why not become sworn brothers."

Undeniably, the intention to recruit was very obvious.

………………

………………

"You want to know what this star system is called?"

"Let me check what it's called, I glanced at it earlier but forgot, the Terminal should have the registered data……"

That young man with the hearty Smile walked straight to the Terminal and began operating it Proficiently.

In an instant, the image on the massive Projection seemed to come alive.

Various data jumped incessantly in the form of Bytes, images flowing along with them, weaving out one brand new page scene after another.

Baoshi Weng still couldn't understand the specific meaning of the text era marks, but where his Gaze fell, the Solar System Model displayed in the Holographic Projection made him feel doubly Familiar.

It was precisely the model he had in mind.

——In the image, a Main Sequence Star was burning fiercely, converting into helium through Hydrogen Fusion reactions and releasing countless energy.

——The Eight Major Planets revolved around it in orderly fashion, like a group of children surrounding their father.

"Oh, the serial number is G2V-422250. Look here, so this was the scene in the past……" The young man Glanced at the content on the Projection and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.

"Let me see…… hey, the Registration time was actually Forty Thousand Years Ago! This is indeed one of the most ancient batches of star systems……"

Noticing the Doubtful expression on the old man's face, he Explained a sentence.

After confirming that Baoshi Weng was the legendary "Ascender," this young man showed undisguised intense interest and warm kindness toward him.

He was like an excited little bird, constantly flapping its wings, trying to Persuade Baoshi Weng to join his Mors Team.

Persisting in coaxing, endlessly boasting about how his team, though newly formed and just starting their journey, had not yet achieved any accomplishments.

But this wasn't important; what was important was that it was full of potential, Just Like the rising morning sun, radiant with brilliant light.

——For instance, the team currently already had as many as two members, absolutely promising for the future……

——If the old geezer could join, the team headcount would directly surge by fifty percent……

——Members totaling three, one look and you know it's going to thrive!

Wait wait wait.

It could be seen that he indeed lacked experience, and previously probably hadn't done this kind of thing.

So despite trying very hard, it was hard to say how much Persuasiveness such illustrative examples could have; under normal circumstances they might only produce a Counter Effect.

But the current situation was not normal.

Although he didn't quite understand what the "Ascender" Identity ultimately represented, why it made the other side value and release such kindness so much, the old gem head also straightforwardly Utilized this Advantage.

He went along with the two people's misunderstanding on the Opposite Side, claimed the title of "Ascender," and then relying on this Identity began legitimately inquiring for Intelligence.

And in order to make this process even more Smooth——

So even though the two greenhorns on the Opposite Side had recruitment techniques and rhetoric that were laughable no matter what, the old head gave just-right positive Feedback.

This Mage who had grown old and cunning would occasionally, according to the other's Tone, display various expressions of either puzzlement, or sudden Realization, or obvious being moved.

In short, just maxing out the Emotional value.

The greenhorns were naturally very happy, and in this process they would also try their best to answer various questions for the old geezer wholeheartedly.

The current situation was just like this.

"The serial number name is G2V-422250?" Baoshi Weng had a Thoughtful appearance; he slowly Nodded, then slowly continued: "Then does it have any other Designated Title?"

"I mean, an alias beyond the serial number name……"

"……"

"……"

"This, there isn't——"

The young man Glanced at the Terminal's Holographic Projection again, a trace of Doubt flashing in those bright eyes, then Shook his Head.

"There isn't?"

Baoshi Weng Frowned, a trace of incomprehension flashing in his eyes: "How could there not be, were any Details missed?"

"There isn't, the data that can be found is just this much……" The young man operated the Terminal again, confirmed it, then replied: "There probably isn't any other alias, right?"

"How could it be——" The Second Magic User instinctively felt disbelief.

"But it really is just like this, can't find anything more……"

The greenhorn on the Opposite Side seemed to also notice something, his Tone revealing a trace of Doubt, "Um, old…… cough cough, old sir, why do you want to know this kind of thing so much?"

"……"

"……"

"This……"

The Mage also calmed down, quickly finding a reason: "Just as you see, the first stop of my arrival in this World was right here……"

"Before I met you all, I lingered here for a period of time, noticing some unusual signs — numerous Planets brutally destroyed — so I wanted to find out the cause……"

"And you can also see, the Star System model during registration up there, and the current Star System, are fundamentally not the same thing……"

His voice was low and powerful, giving an answer that was half-true, half-false like this.

This was the first stop of his "Ascension" to this World, he lingered for a time, and also noticed the anomaly of the Star System's destruction, simultaneously investigating for a period……

Then being curious about its origins and past, isn't that Naturally the case?

——This is Reasonable.

"Oh, so that's how it is……"

The young man Nodded, somewhat Realizing, then immediately Shook his Head: "But you just came over, not knowing is also Naturally the case, this kind of thing in the Universe is really too normal."

"……"

"……"

"Wait…… you say — this kind of thing is 'normal'?"

The Mage was quite unwilling to accept such a description that was like a joke, yet in the current context seemed to carry a hint of cold meaning.

"That's right, not to mention the protracted Xiang Kang between the SOS Cluster and the Tian Gai Domain……"

The young man Nodded, the Expression on his face becoming Naturally, "There's also the collision and friction between the two Major Powers of the Fairy Round Table and the Human Round Table, the tense relations between them are escalating at every moment."

"Just those Galaxy Police and Evil God Hunters, when they Execute Missions, they frequently trigger all kinds of storms because their enforcement methods are too brutal."

"Every now and then they stir up quite a commotion, and repeatedly suffer complaints."

Speaking here, the young man Shrugged, as if indicating these were all commonplace trivial scenes.

At this time, the other slightly steadier youth beside him, complained and supplemented: "As long as it's not on a protected native life Planet, or a legal colonial Star Zone——"

"Then, they are especially prone to letting the Opponent explode together with the Planet."

"……"

"……"

Truly a terrifying Tactic.

The Gem Elder fell Silent for a moment, paused, then Came To Senses, Subconsciously Capturing the keyword: "——They? All female individuals?"

"Right, and there are rumors saying they're probably a group of Clones, because they have the same face, and sometimes even hunt down Peers with that same face……"

The Opposite Side Nodded Definitely, incidentally throwing out another shocking claim.

"……"

"……"

The Gem Elder fell Silent again.

If these are all true, then this World has truly gone crazy into a form he completely Can't Understand.

He slowly, let out a long breath, calmed his Mood, then broke the Silent atmosphere with a bitter smile: "Then it seems the Canghui Galaxy isn't very peaceful either……"

"It's still considered good for now, old, old sir……"

The young man Hehe laughed a few times——

"Supposedly in the Universe's prehistoric ancient Civilization period, even those two Goddesses were once enemies, one side even Killed the other……"

"Thinking about it makes one Despair, that period was probably the most chaotic and craziest period, 'Human Form Galaxies' fighting each other……"

"Can't say it like that——!"

The Companion beside him Shook Head in Denial: "This saying is actually still doubtful, because in the Universe's prehistoric period before the Canghui Galaxy's birth, history has long been impossible to verify."

"Eh? It's doubtful?"

"Right, currently it belongs to Unofficial History……" the Companion calmly complained: "Anyway I feel it's not too possible."

The two thus Discussed, Subtly starting to go off-topic.

As for the Gem Elder beside them, he already didn't want to speak.

He reached out to press his forehead and temples, forcing himself not to think about a question——

About in this World, the Concept of those "Fairies", "Divine Spirits"…… just what kind of insane position they've been elevated to.

However the Mage's such actions also made the two on the Opposite Side notice and misunderstand.

"Old sir, don't be so Discouraged…… what's there to be tangled up about."

That young man Coughed twice, cleared his throat, "Star Systems like this are a dime a dozen, can't figure this one out, just go explore the next one, no need to dead-end on it ah."

The Gem Elder put down his hand, Stiffly tugging at the Corner of his Mouth muscles: "You, you make sense…… but, is there really only this much data? No more?"

He discarded Miscellaneous Thoughts, no longer thinking about those things interfering with his Emotions.

Turning instead to focus Attention on the Solar System's problem again.

"No more, can't find any on Skynet." The other party Righteously gave a Negative answer.

"Would it be that the data on that Skynet is incomplete?" The old man unwilling to give up wanted to try harder.

"Impossible, Skynet is the general term for the largest pan-Galaxy Faster-Than-Light communication network, if there's any data that can't be found on it, then it truly Does Not Exist."

The Gem Elder instantly knitted brows: "In that case, it's also possible relevant data was hidden, our Permission isn't enough……"

The young man remained just as Righteous: "Then for us, it's even more Non-Existent, isn't it?"

Gem Elder: "……"

What you say makes so much sense, I'm simply speechless.

The old man once again let out a long Sigh, feeling that in this short time, he'd sighed more than his whole past life.

"Forget it, then let it go……"

This physically robust old man Waved his hand, seemingly giving up, or saying temporarily giving up.

"I have no more questions…… now let's talk about the matter of Joining your Mors Team."

Realizing he could not achieve a greater breakthrough with these two people, he resolved to change his strategy.

But no matter how you put it...

He still had to utilize these two, have them take him away from this desolate, ruined Galaxy and back into the civilized borders of the Canghui Galaxy.

Only then would he have the opportunity to implement other strategies.

"Haha, you agree? Good, good..." The young man's face instantly lit up with joy, and he immediately hurriedly turned around to operate on the Terminal.

Simultaneously, his mouth was like a machine gun, speaking incessantly: "Rest assured, old sir, your decision is definitely not a loss; our team has a promising future!"

"Look, our 'Good Names Were All Taken——Cough Cough' Squad is a properly registered Pioneer Group, this is Official Certification! A legitimate Organization!"

He announced proudly, as if a shiny medal hung on his chest.

"..."

"..."

"Wait! What do you mean 'Good Names Were All Taken——Cough Cough' Squad?" The Mage felt that compared to some Official Certification, there seemed to be a more noteworthy Place.

The calm Companion beside him spoke up to retort: "It's just that all the names we wanted to pick were already snatched up by others, there was really no other way, this fellow just gave up and wanted to pick a weird name..."

"But that name violated regulations too; if it were really entered like that, it would likely get the hard-won qualification banned, he suddenly reacted and stopped just in time..."

"Result——"

"Operated too fast, so it became like this now."

The Mage felt he understood, but also seemed to not want to join anymore.

Perhaps sensing the old man's hesitation, the young man hurriedly spoke: "Don't, don't look at our bad team name, actually... um um, you know, promising future!"

To increase persuasiveness, he had the Holographic Projection rapidly switch to a strange Homepage interface.

"Look look, I originally wanted to name it 'Hero League', even the Team Homepage was made..."

"Although we ultimately couldn't snatch that registration name, but... at least the finished Homepage can still be put to use!"

"Moreover, we've already self-published a Team Autobiography once, and successfully held several Personal Photo Collection sales events. These I can guarantee, you'll have them too in the future!"

"Come come come, old sir, quickly fill in your info, so I can upload your data."

This young man's eyes flashed with anticipation, as if describing a beautiful Future Vision to the elder.

"..."

"..."

Gemstone Weng looked at the Holographic Projection, at that flashy Team Homepage interface, which listed the portraits of the two unreliable fellows before him.

——Golden Light shining card faces...

——Below, detailed Skill introductions for each hero (actually only two)...

——And their past glorious achievements, and most importantly, sales links for personal photo posters, Peripherals, and such...

This Mage fell silent again, completely not knowing what to say.

It was no longer as simple as suddenly not wanting to join...

He strongly suspected this thing would become his Cyber Criminal Record later...
