"The star‑lord‑class engine just slipped by, it's outrageous—I really want to spend money, I really want to spend money!" Xiao Yu Ran was somewhat frantic; that precious engine is comparable to a divine king's weapon of the myriad worlds, at least two versions ahead for this stage, yet we missed it by a hair, so frustrating.

Translation: "'A star‑lord‑class engine just slipped by, that's outrageous—I really want to top up, I really want to top up!' Xiao Yu Ran was somewhat frantic; that precious engine is comparable to a divine king's weapon of the myriad heavens, at least two versions ahead for the current stage, yet it slipped through our fingers—how regrettable."

Xiao Feng, on the other hand, remained calm, saying: "Save it, we have no money left to spend; spending more would mean selling our pots and iron."

Translation: "Xiao Feng, on the other hand, remained calm, smiling: 'Save it, we have no money left to top up; if we keep trying we'll have to smash the pot and sell the iron.'"

So-called spending money isn't paying the game; after all, the virtual universe is not a profit‑making company but a public service. Spending money means buying high‑tier weapons or ship parts from other players to raise the chance of winning star battles, or directly hiring player armies to help fight and crush the enemy.

Run first!

Being outnumbered, a head‑on clash is not a wise choice; Xiao Feng decisively summons the spaceship, takes his wife and daughter, and whooshes away through the void, disappearing without a trace.

The spaceship shuttles through Xing Kong.

Xiao Feng discusses the secret treasure map's information with everyone while piloting the spaceship.

Then, a voice suddenly transmitted from the void, echoing in his heart.

"Xiao Feng, come to Origin Mountain; I have something I want to discuss with you."

Xiao Feng's heart stirred.

This is Chen Li's voice; it seems there is something…

There is a matter to find him.
