The history of Return Star's developnt couldn't be fully recounted even if one spoke for three days and three nights. The ti span was extrely long, interwoven with various institutional reforms and a history of revolutions.
This kind of royal dictatorial regi hadn't been without its challenges.
In fact, for a very long period of ti, the Return Star Royalty were Mascots, having no real power whatsoever. The entire civilization operated relying on the parliant.
It wasn't until a certain ruler carried out a revolution, taking back the rights that originally belonged to them with blood and Fire.
However, in the course of historical developnt, many of Return Star's noble titles lost their original rightful power, leaving only empty titles.
This information could easily be found on the Return Star network. A noble title was an Identity above that of a High-Grade Citizen. Naturally, it ca with many privileges, but they were all minor.
As for the Golden Cross dal, it was one of the many dals in Return Star, and could only be obtained by soone who had saved a massive number of Return Star Citizens.
And the Golden Cross dal was the most honorable among the Cross dals.
It also ca with various privileges, such as shopping discounts, fast lanes, and so on. The most valuable might be a real estate property awarded on Return Star's Main Planet.
But for Li Yu, it could only be considered an added bonus, not worth taking too much to heart.
Max learned of this news through his father's channels. It hadn't been publicly announced yet, and he inford Li Yu in advance.
"Dismissing with just a noble title and a dal. Return Star really knows how to do business," Li Yu remarked pointedly.
Max also felt sowhat embarrassed. As General Aisel's son, he lacked nothing and could Step-By-Step ascend to a high position.
These empty titles could all serve as his assistance. But Li Yu was different; he only wanted to obtain visible benefits.
"Oh right..." Max seed to suddenly rember sothing and added, "General Aisel said you can skip the civilization review process and directly beco an A-Level Seed."
"Does this count as a substantial benefit?"
Li Yu remained expressionless: "Why didn't you say so earlier."
If this was the case, it was barely acceptable. After all, the ti spent on the civilization review wasn't short.
Max was sowhat speechless. To him, the civilization review was practically non-existent. He was Of Impeccable Lineage; as long as he reached the standard Step-By-Step, he could beco an A-Level Seed.
On the contrary, those seemingly empty titles, like dals and noble titles, could save him a long ti of suffering at the bottom.
The disaster relief here was still ongoing, but Olivia was already preparing to head to the Return Star Central Star System, which was much safer.
Li Yu's group also left along with her. Shortly after Max inford him, Return Star's official personnel contacted him.
The other party was a chubby official with a hypocritical smile on his face. He told Li Yu that the dal awarding and noble title confernt ceremony was set for ten days later.
"Ten days later..." Li Yu felt slightly settled. Wasn't that The Emperor of the Star Glory Empire's birthday? It was also the day to identify Big Brother Dark Star.
Return Star really clustered all the dates together, maximizing the montum as much as possible, striving to let more people know about this matter.
The Ocean Rose set sail. After leaving the network shielding range of the Return Star Fleet, missed Communication Links from The Hunter and others ca one after another.
He sent a reply to The Hunter, and the other party imdiately started a video call, looking Li Yu up and down as if looking at so monster.
"How exactly did you do it?" he couldn't help but ask.
Who knows how many people had asked this question. Li Yu still gave the sa answer: "As big as your heart is, that's how great your Strength is."
Rolling his eyes, The Hunter said in annoyance: "I hope you can fool Peyton with this answer too."
Hearing this, Li Yu instantly felt a bit of a headache. Without thinking, that research fanatic definitely wanted to slice him up for research.
After a few words of idle chatter, Li Yu hung up the communication and looked through the missed Communication Links. Kansa... Augu... Mole... Huh... who is this Kelly?
Li Yu clicked on her profile, and a pair of beautiful long legs instantly brought her to mind. Mole's daughter, The Hunter's pretty niece.
There were quite a few acquaintances, but Li Yu was too lazy to reply one by one, so he sent a mass ssage.
Only a na at the bottom made him hesitate slightly. He still dialed the communication request, and the waiting ti was exceptionally long.
During this period... his Smart Terminal even flickered a few tis.
"Claptrap, what's going on?" Li Yu was sowhat puzzled.
"Master, this Communication Link has been transferred many tis, encrypted through multiple Transfer Stations."
Li Yu suddenly understood. Given the other party's special Identity, it was understandable for it to be so strict.
Waiting a mont longer, the Smart Terminal slowly lit up, and a familiar yet unfamiliar woman appeared on the screen.
"Long ti no see, Glazed Star." Li Yu greeted her. The other party was exactly Glazed Star, who had joined the Imperial Research Institute.
Big Brother Dark Star's Scarlet Commander. Li Yu had once rescued her father, and the two had a pretty good relationship.
"Long ti no see. I didn't expect you to have reached this point," Glazed Star sighed with emotion. She and Dark Star were considered the first batch of people to co into contact with Li Yu.
How long had it been, and the other party had already beco a figure that the majority of Citizens in the Universe needed to look up to.
Li Yu listened with a smile. After chatting for a few words, Glazed Star got to the point:
"I recently received so news. A Titan Ruins has been discovered within Return Star territory. I rember I still owe you a key. With your current Strength, you should be able to try."
Li Yu was sowhat confused, then suddenly rembered. Back then, Glazed Star thought he didn't have the key to the Titan treasure chest and was quite ashad, saying she would definitely compensate him in the future.
But in fact, Li Yu had already secretly obtained the key and acquired the [Titan Colonization Armor].
He had even forgotten about this himself. He didn't expect Glazed Star to actually still rember, and even found another Titan Ruins for him.
"Uh..." Li Yu paused and explained: "Actually, later on, by a chance coincidence, I obtained the key, opened the chest, and acquired the [Titan Colonization Armor]."
"The situation was urgent at the ti, and I was being hunted, so I didn't have ti to tell you. You don't need to compensate anymore," Li Yu said with awe-inspiring righteousness.
As he spoke, he demonstrated the [Titan Colonization Armor] on his body. Glazed Star was sowhat surprised. However, the news of Li Yu obtaining the key back then was hidden very deeply; almost no one knew.
Glazed Star didn't think much of it, only thinking that Li Yu's luck was truly good.
"No..." Glazed Star shook her head: "You found the key yourself. My compensation is my compensation. I'll give you the coordinates."
"It's just... although it's within Return Star territory, which makes the Empire's operation very covert, the exploration squad's Strength is not weak. If you want to go, you must be careful."
Li Yu didn't refuse this ti. After receiving the encrypted data packet and decrypting it, he found that this coordinate was in a certain peripheral Star System of Return Star.
As the ruins of the Titan Civilization, many large civilizations were relentlessly searching for their ruins and had specialized organizations set up.
"Oh right..." Li Yu feigned confusion and asked: "How does the [Titan Colonization Armor] continue to advance? My Artificial Intelligence told that the [Titan Colonization Armor] continuing to evolve cannot simply Devour Technology."
This was the main purpose of his "confession". Otherwise, if he didn't tell Glazed Star he possessed the [Titan Colonization Armor], he wouldn't be able to ask this question.
Hearing this, Glazed Star hesitated slightly, seemingly looking up so data. Backed by the Imperial Research Institute, she quickly had an answer: "For the [Titan Colonization Armor] to continue advancing, it needs to satisfy various conditions, and the key one is the self-manufacturing and self-replication of special materials..."
"A-Tier technological creations are basically all forged through special materials. Without this function, the [Titan Colonization Armor] is just a decoration..."
The Imperial Research Institute lived up to its reputation; their understanding of the [Titan Colonization Armor] was more comprehensive than Claptrap, who currently controlled the [Titan Colonization Armor].
Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but frown. To unlock this module, in the end, it required an incredibly massive amount of Energy.
And the current [Cube Power] was already gradually starting to be stretched thin. After all, it couldn't even compare to the A-Tier Energy Engine, the [Stellar Furnace].
After chatting idly for a mont, Li Yu hung up the communication and pondered inwardly.
...
The Ocean Rose soon arrived at the Return Star Central Star System. This arrival didn't have a grand welco ceremony like in Vitel.
There was only a welco group spontaneously ford by her fans, and it was also very low-key, not causing a huge sensation.
Olivia's external explanation was to mourn the Return Star Citizens who died in the attack, and it was inappropriate to hold any more celebratory events.
But in reality, Li Yu estimated it should be because of the self-directed and self-acted incident earlier, causing Return Star to warn her, forcing her to keep a low profile.
The Ocean Rose docked at Shipyard 264. Olivia got off the Spaceship and headed straight for the Star Casting Palace to see her good sister—Her Highness Klein.
Li Yu's group was also in the contingent. Edwin and Max both had to go back to report to their dads, while Li Yu was summoned by Klein.
"The Interstellar Network says Olivia and Klein are just plastic sisters, their feelings are superficial, and even says they fought over the sa Man. Do you guys think it's true or not?"
Max's attitude toward Olivia wasn't too enthusiastic now, because he found the real Olivia wasn't quite the sa as the one on the network.
"Who knows. It's already good enough to be superficial," Li Yu said indifferently.
"Olivia and Her Highness Klein t at a certain banquet and have a very close relationship. The things on the Interstellar Network are all just Chasing Shadows," Edwin denied, acting like 'I was there, I can prove it'.
Entering the Star Casting Palace, the group parted ways. Olivia's Guard Corps was never allowed to enter.
That A-Tier Gold-Scaled Fishman was highly regarded and received special hospitality. As for the rest, they could go wherever they wanted.
"Congratulations on becoming an A-Level Seed." Olivia made conversation out of nothing, chatting with Li Yu on the way to Klein's Palace.
"Just got the entry ticket, that's all." Li Yu didn't have any look of joy. His heart stirred slightly, and he asked: "Your Younger sister, she..."
Olivia's expression stiffened slightly, her face flickering. She looked around, hesitated for a mont, and still said in a low voice: "She has already been rescued."
"Oh?" Li Yu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this matter to actually be accomplished. The discussions on the network about this matter were already very few.
He thought this matter had no follow-up. Rescued? Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he wanted to say sothing, he realized they had already arrived at Klein's Palace.
The Young Lady guard forced a smile at the two, stepped aside, and let them walk in.
"Klein~~"
"Olivia~~"
Two slender bodies embraced each other. Olivia's lower half was chanical Armor, and her upper half was humanoid.
Olivia revealed a joyful smile, and Klein also looked very happy.
"You didn't get hurt, did you? When I watched the news, I was scared to death." Klein hugged Olivia, looking her over left and right, seemingly checking if she was hurt.
"No... thanks to this Subordinate of yours..." Olivia cued Li Yu, who was enjoying the beautiful scenery nearby.
Klein's eyes flashed, and she smiled: "This is not my Subordinate, he's my Friend."
Olivia suddenly felt the Klein in front of her was a bit different. As for what exactly was different, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
It was as if she was sharper, yet also smoother; it was a contradictory feeling.
Li Yu was sowhat Speechless. Although these two weren't plastic sisters, they weren't the kind with deep affection and heavy righteousness either.
However, won's friendships were just like this, not surprising. The two generally still valued this friendship quite a bit.
The two conversed for a mont. Olivia's main purpose for coming was to sound out the attitude of Return Star's High Echelon towards her. According to Klein's disclosure.
So people were very dissatisfied with her, believing she used Return Star. But so people also expressed indifference; as long as it was dealing with the Star Glory Empire, Return Star didn't mind helping out.
But overall, it hadn't reached the worst degree, which made Olivia breathe a sigh of relief.
The two won chattered for a long ti, during which there was no lack of playful scenes. Klein even openly reached into Olivia's lower half...
To touch the colorful scaled fishtail,
Making Li Yu, who was on the side, very embarrassed. It felt wrong to look, but also wrong not to look. Later, seeing that neither of them minded, he simply stopped hiding it and stared non-stop with his big eyes wide open.
After sending Olivia off, Klein asked Li Yu to stay behind. Her smile gradually faded, she hesitated for a mont, and exhorted: "Stay away from her in the future. This woman is very scheming."
Li Yu: "..."
Weren't you two just calling each other 'sister' a mont ago? Olivia just left and hasn't even gone out the door yet, and you say this about her, is that appropriate?
Li Yu grumbled internally, but nodded honestly on the surface.
"I haven't thanked you yet." Klein looked at Li Yu, her crystal-clear eyes containing a strange color: "Thanks to you, when 'Klein's Friend' is ntioned on the network now, it's at least not entirely sarcastic..."
"It's what I ought to do." Li Yu kept his head down, didn't talk much, looking like a Simple-minded person.
Klein revealed a faint smile, then said: "Rember to go register at the A-rank Seed Managent Association later. This incident exempts you from the civilization review, which is equivalent to saving several years of ti."
"Yes, Your Highness," Li Yu nodded.
"Just call Klein..." Klein said. Then, feeling sothing was amiss, she added: "You and I are Friends, no need to be so distant."
"Yes, Her Highness Klein." Li Yu acted as if he didn't hear it. You might not mind, but that doesn't an others don't. If that Old Scher Horus hears call you that, who knows how he'll plot against again.
And that Edwin, he'd probably just slaughter directly.
