Chapter 23

"Ah! Xu Zi'an?!"

In the unmanned deep space.

Xu Zi'an was curiously looking at the binary star system unique to the UV Ceti star system, the surprise shout from the girl in the communicator made his expression freeze.

Looked down at the star map in confusion...

He could be sure that this place was already several light-years away from Space Relay Station JYZ1881.

Already reached the entrance of the UV Ceti star system.

But, but how did he meet this woman again!

Looked around.

No sign of the Brilliance.

Xu Zi'an immediately made a firm decision.

After going back this time, no matter what, he must improve the radar quality!

Just a few blinks of an eye.

That familiar Brilliance flew toward the Radiant.

In the communicator, Qin Fuyue's voice full of surprise and joy continued to come: "Xu Zi'an, why are you here too! Haha, didn't expect it, we met again!"

Xu Zi'an rubbed his face, also full of confusion: "I came here to do a delivery task...

How about you? Are you too?"

"Mm-hmm! I'm also here to deliver a package! Haha, didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!"

"Uh... that is indeed quite a coincidence."

Xu Zi'an didn't know what to say.

In the vast star sky, two people can meet twice in one day...

Can only say, this luck is absolutely amazing.

"Fate! Since we are so destined, then after delivering the package, let's go back together, okay?"

Qin Fuyue asked with expectation in her voice.

Xu Zi'an understood that Qin Fuyue wanted to find him to be a bodyguard!

Didn't refuse, nodded and said: "Okay, then let's finish the task first, and go back to the solar system together later."

"Mm-hmm-hmm! Then let's go quickly!"

Thought Qin Fuyue had finished speaking, but she suddenly popped out another sentence: "But your exploration radar really needs to be changed!

My god, I was so close to you, only over 100,000 kilometers, and you didn't even find me!

This is very dangerous in interstellar navigation!"

Xu Zi'an was expressionless.

Sure enough.

This woman is still so... hateful.

Doesn't he know!

He also knows the importance of exploration radar!

Even knows the importance of starship stealth coating!

If the Radiant's stealth system was high-end enough, Qin Fuyue's radar wouldn't even be able to detect him.

He knew all these.

But the key is where the hell is the money!

Hateful woman.

Hateful rich person!

Xu Zi'an was indignant, didn't even want to talk to this woman, started superluminal flight, and flew toward the private planet named 'Sea Siren Star' marked on the star map.

Behind, the Brilliance followed.

Following behind the Radiant, flying to the left of the Radiant, then to the right of the Radiant, playing around non-stop.

It can be seen that Qin Fuyue's mood is very good at this time.

The UV Ceti star system is a binary star system.

In plain language... it's a solar system with two suns!

These two stars are Luyten 726-8A and Luyten 726-8B.

And both are red dwarfs.

Compared to yellow dwarfs like the sun, red dwarfs are more stable and have a longer burning life.

But the relative temperature is lower than the sun.

But two suns hanging in the sky... this scene is still quite shocking.

Sea Siren Star is located in the middle of the two stars.

From the outside, Sea Siren Star is a barren planet similar to Mars in the 21st century.

Currently bought by someone, should be under transformation.

Cosmic interstellar era.

Because the number of planets is countless times more than the sand in the desert.

Thus, planets can also be purchased.

Unless it is an unowned area without power, if you occupy it, it is yours.

The star system in front of us is clearly within the territory of the Earth Federation and needs to be purchased.

Even though Sea Siren Star currently looks like a barren planet, Xu Zi'an's heart is still full of envy.

Private planet...

Don't know when he will be able to afford a private planet.

"Beep—"

"You are entering the private star territory of Sea Siren Star. Please state your purpose, or you will be shot down!"

Scarcely had they approached Sea Siren Star when the opponent's brain-computer system sent a warning to the *Cui Can*.

"I am here to fulfill a courier delivery mission."

Xu Zi'an replied.

"Beep—"

"Please follow the flight path guidance to reach the target location."

The next second, a flight path appeared before his eyes as a holographic projection.

It appeared that Sea Siren Star had been purchased only recently.

Looking along the way, it was entirely desolate.

Only at the destination was there a building and... holy crap!!!

Xu Zi'an’s eyes widened instantly, and he looked ahead in shock.

In a plain-like area ahead, there sat a building and a warship.

The building was nothing to be surprised about; although it looked large and luxurious, it wasn't enough to shock Xu Zi'an.

What truly shocked him was that starship, which could be called a behemoth!!!

By visual estimation, the length of this starship was at least 1,200 meters, perhaps even 1,300 meters!

"This is... a, a cruiser!!!"

Xu Zi'an swallowed hard.

A cruiser!

A fifth-stage super starship!

Scout ship, frigate, assault ship, destroyer—only after those comes the cruiser!

And a cruiser’s length ranges from a base of 1,000 meters to a limit of 1,499.9 meters!

The starship before him was between 1,200 and 1,300 meters long; it was definitely a cruiser.

Furthermore!

Judging by the clear traces of extensive evolution, this was also a biological cruiser!

So...

The owner of Sea Siren Star, the client he was delivering goods to...

Was a biological cruiser captain?

Xu Zi'an had seen biological cruiser captains before.

But he had never seen the cruiser itself!

Now witnessing the cruiser in person, its massive hull, its secondary guns with calibers several times larger than the *Cui Can*'s main gun...

And there were several main guns and dozens of missile launch bays.

With its ferocious and thick armor, Xu Zi'an even suspected...

That even if this cruiser just sat here and let him attack, he probably couldn't even pierce its armor.

"Wow! So it's the *Sea Siren*!"

Suddenly, Qin Fuyue’s surprised exclamation came to his ears.

Xu Zi'an paused: "The *Sea Siren*?

Are you saying this biological cruiser is called the *Sea Siren*?

Have you seen this starship before?"

Xu Zi'an was curious.
