Chapter 566: Special Pass

"Are you stupid? We're all family; if they want to learn, let them come. Send the people over, bring the funds and equipment, and ask Kevin about the rest. That kid is sharp as a tack; he won't let himself be taken advantage of," Li Hao said.

"Alright then." Romero nodded. As long as Li Hao didn't abandon the project, it would be fine. If the Elites of the Hunters all came over, Li Hao wouldn't be able to just walk away even if he wanted to. Thinking of this, Romero felt a bit better. If the team grew in the future, perhaps they could even make a name for themselves with Kepler as the center. He always felt that Li Hao might leave humanity at any moment.

"I heard that Celestial Armaments are also graded. What level does this one belong to?" Romero asked casually. He felt that if Li Hao could get his hands on it, he likely had Celestial friends. This kind of thing sounded very strange, but when it happened to Li Hao, it wasn't strange at all.

"Not sure. That guy rattled off a long list of titles at the time; it didn't look like he was using fake goods." Li Hao couldn't remember clearly either. "In any case, there's no need to worry about any civilization driving a fleet over for the time being."

"Even if a fleet did come, I wouldn't care," Romero laughed. After all, if the sky falls, the big brother is there to hold it up.

"Good, then we can talk about business," Li Hao smiled.

Romero's expression immediately turned serious. If Li Hao could be this earnest, it probably involved the inner workings of the Star River Alliance's power. He knew that Li Hao hadn't been gone for so long just to wander around.

"Ahem, Zuo Xiaotang and I opened a pizza shop in Tianjing. We want to incorporate some Kepler specialties. Do you have any raw materials here that can be used for pizza that you can ship over?" Li Hao asked eagerly. He studied Financial Management; specialty products wouldn't sell poorly.

Romero's expression twisted a bit. This turn was a bit sharp, and his expression couldn't brake in time. "Li Ge, you're joking. Do whatever you want to do. Even if you blow up Kepler, it's fine by me."

"Don't joke around. We're all good people; we don't do those terrorist activities. I'll take that as a yes. Alright, go clean up the mess; I'm going to talk about real business." Li Hao happily tapped his Skycom. The Insectoids had captured so many Lalutu Orcs, and Romero still needed to handle them. The sacrifices in this battle were not small, and many problems had been exposed. The foundation of Beast Martial is Celestial Martial; even if broken, they are very important research samples.

Basically, one Orc wearing Beast Martial can take on dozens of Mobile Suits and a swarm of Giant Insects.

Li Hao happily dialed Zuo Xiaotang's Skycom. "Zuo Xiaopang, it's done. I feel like you can take some time off and come over. Pick whatever you like."

Zuo Xiaotang's mouth split open in joy, but then a head poked in. "Hao Ge, you heartless guy, you didn't even wait for me when you came back!"

Ma Laoshi came charging over, yelling. Li Hao smiled. "I was just afraid of disturbing your two-person world. Not bad, Ma Laoshi, you feel a bit more handsome."

"Li Hao, you wouldn't be afraid of us asking for a red envelope, would you?" Sheng Man's voice rang out. A year later, she felt a bit more sexy and full. Sheng Man had already graduated, given up her favorite hosting career, and taken over the family business. It was clear she was considering Ma Long's feelings.

"Sheng Man, look at what you're saying. Am I that kind of person? Some bad habits should be discarded."

Everyone laughed, but Sheng Man remembered something. "By the way, are you really going to get supplies from Kepler?"

"Yeah, I'm in Kepler right now. I've already talked to Romero. He's a generous friend; take whatever you fancy," Li Hao laughed.

Sheng Man and the others looked at each other, but they also knew Li Hao wasn't joking. For example, the red envelope thing was highly likely to be serious too.

"In that case, do we need a fleet?" Sheng Man's eyes burned with intensity. Ma Long also realized the huge business opportunity. "Damn, Hao Ge, better to benefit our own brothers than outsiders. Manman is currently operating our company, and part of it is the commercial transport between Earth and the Moon. If we can get a pass and open the Kepler route, we'll take off!"

"Kepler's? That's no problem. I'll have Romero issue you a special pass," Li Hao said.

Sheng Man's face flushed; she was too excited. If this were true, this pass alone would be a priceless treasure, because the Kepler route was currently quite difficult to open, mainly because one couldn't get past the Kepler hurdle. Currently, only the four

major federations and only five limited groups possessed this authority.

After the excitement, she felt a bit insecure. "We don't seem to have long-range transport ships, nor do we have experience in this area..."

This kind of starry sky route is not something an average power can handle.

Ma Long also remembered. Their "little boats" might be shaken to pieces as soon as they entered the Star Alliance. After Sheng Man and Ma Long finished lamenting, Li Hao thought for a moment. "You guys wait."

Hanging up the Skycom, Li Hao dialed Su Yu's number.

Su Yu was in a meeting. Seeing this number, she froze, signaled for others to leave, and took a deep breath. "Li Hao, you're still alive."

Li Hao was speechless. "Ahem, President Su, look at what you're saying. I'm in such good health."

"If you're alive, can't you send a message? A Youyou has been very worried about you!" Su Yu said. The current situation, things like political marriages, were obviously nonsense. The family didn't have any other ideas, and Su Yu was relieved of her burden. Her mind turned, and she felt that this guy Li Hao was heartless.

"Is she doing well?" Li Hao felt a bit ashamed. Others went to participate in the Galaxy Warrior selection; how could he have forgotten Su Yu?

"Very well. A Youyou is the pride of our Human race, the first official Anthem Warrior. It's very safe on the Anthem side. Once everything settles down, she can move freely. Don't worry. However, you need to work hard; if you're not careful, you might really not be A Youyou's match in the future!" Su Yu said with some emotion. Too many things had happened during this period; it was earth-shattering. The Daliven Family had mixed feelings. What was fortunate was that A Youyou actually had extraordinary talent. What was sad was that under the new order, the Daliven Family was also a target for attack. It was just that A Youyou's unique existence made other forces afraid to act recklessly. The Daliven Family's prophecy had actually come true; A Youyou was saving this ancient family.

Listening to Su Yu's tone, Li Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed A Youyou was really doing well. He really racked his brain, but Romero had no way either. The Celestials were high and mighty throughout the Star River World; humans currently had no qualifications to make demands. Blee was useless.

"President Su..."

"There is no President Su here, only Sister Su!" Su Yu said with some dissatisfaction.

"Sister Su, there's a matter to discuss. I helped some friends get a pass in Kepler. You know them too—Zuo Xiaotang, Ma Long, and the others. They want to set up a merchant fleet to do some transport or something. Do you have a way to buy transport ships?" Li Hao asked.

Su Yu was stunned. "What pass? Kepler's?"

"Yeah."

"How is that possible? Currently, all cargo and commercial transport to Kepler are unified by the Council. How can private individuals get a pass?" Su Yu was a bit confused. Even the Daliven Family currently could only follow the fleet, purchasing a certain amount of cargo space each time, and the price was staggering.

"Ah, they can't? Damn, Romero told me it was possible." Li Hao suddenly felt like he had been bragging. Was his pizza business going to fail before it even started?

It wasn't that he doubted Romero, but he really didn't know about the Council's complicated controls; he just wanted to smuggle in some private business on the side.

"Romero, which Romero... are you talking about the Kepler Governor, Insect God General Lord Romero?" Su Yu opened her mouth.

"That's him, I guess. Is he that famous now? It should be the same person."

Su Yu didn't know if Li Hao was truly stupid or pretending to be, but he had successfully pulled off this bluff. "If Governor Romero agrees, I can be responsible for the specific operations. But the matter is quite complex. If the scale is large, I'll need to take a stake. That's no problem, right?"

"That's fine. It's best if Sister Su is in charge; it saves us all the trouble," Li Hao laughed. He just wanted to do some small business.

Seeing Li Hao agree so readily, Su Yu's expression was a bit strange. "Do you not know how much profit is involved here, what mastering this kind of route means? Aren't you worried that I'll use your name to rake in all the money?"

"What kind of talk is that? We're all our own people; you just handle it," Li Hao shrugged indifferently.

Su Yu took a deep breath. Actually, she knew very well that even if Li Hao didn't know the specifics, he absolutely knew what this meant. A person who led a team to win the S-Tournament, who gave away the Ocean Heart when he was penniless, who could perform great meritorious service in the Expeditionary Army and gain the military's recognition, and who could make Romero obey—whether in power or wisdom, he was top-tier. Unless the person he was facing was someone he trusted, he was simply doing this on purpose to give it to her.

The team won the S-Tournament Champion, and when they were penniless, she gave away the Ocean Heart just like that; someone who could perform great meritorious service in the Expeditionary Army, gain the recognition of the military, and make Romero follow her every word, must be top-tier in both strength and wisdom, unless the person she was facing was someone she trusted, and she was simply giving it to her on purpose.

"Alright then, I'll worry about it for you all. At this time, not only does the Kepler side need to be connected, but the route between Earth and the Muxing Xingmen also needs to be opened. Let's start a new group, and you'll take the majority share!" Su Yu said.

Li Hao waved his hands quickly. "Don't, absolutely not. These things have no meaning to me."

"What do you mean no meaning? A man always needs a little private stash. If you don't want it, I'll put it under A Youyou's name," Su Yu said.

"That works too." Li Hao smiled immediately, his mouth stretching wide like a lotus flower.

What could Su Yu say? She was just destined to be a worrier. "Li Hao, I know you are very strong, but you must be careful when dealing with other civilizations. Apart from life and death, nothing is a big deal!"

"Got it." Li Hao nodded. The problem was, he wanted to die now, but Blee wouldn't agree. He was even a bit curious: who, or what, was putting in such a huge investment to torment him, and for what? He used to think it was just to save Earth, even thinking it was humans from the future trying to avoid an apocalyptic disaster. But looking at it now, that's clearly not it. Of course, his own abilities were indeed a certain guarantee for the Solar System, but from the tasks Blee continued to arrange, they didn't even mention that anymore. Developing in this direction was clearly not power prepared for humanity.

"Understood." Li Hao nodded. The problem was, he wanted to die now, but Blee wouldn't agree. He was even a little curious about who, or perhaps what, had invested such a massive effort to torment him, and for what purpose. He used to think it was just to save Earth, and had even considered it might be Humans from the future trying to avoid a world-ending catastrophe, but now it was clear that wasn't it at all. Of course, his own abilities were indeed a certain guarantee for the Solar System, but judging from some of the mission arrangements Blee continued to make, that point was no longer even mentioned; the direction this was heading was not a power prepared for Humans at all.
