Li Yu naturally didn't know the specifics of what was being discussed in the High Echelon eting. He had already returned to his Base and grudgingly gave Peyton two vials of blood, sending this research maniac away.
Regarding Li Yu being sent out imdiately to act as bait, Hunter expressed extre indignation.
"All these High Echelon civilizations are Ruthless and Exploitative Bastards. Why don't we evacuate as soon as possible."
"Why should we evacuate?" Li Yu shook his head. Things hadn't reached the worst point yet. What he lacked right now was rely ti. Once he reached A-Tier Lifeform, he would have so capital to resist.
Right now, only Vimala was targeting him, and even then she euphemistically claid it was for Klein's growth.
Klein currently stood on his side, and with his current prestige, Vimala couldn't deal with him through official ans.
As for that reclusive Digor, he probably didn't care about these things at all, so why leave Return Star?
After listening to Li Yu's analysis, Hunter's expression was weird: "Another Princess... Do you have so special fetish?"
Li Yu looked displeased: "You can't just talk nonsense like that. I'm just acting according to my heart, I haven't done anything."
Hunter had long experienced Li Yu's thick skin. He rolled his eyes and went off to watch a Soap Opera, wasting his life.
Tu Ying and Keller were still training. The Strength of the two was in a period of rapid growth. With an abundant supply of resources, they had already touched the threshold of C-Tier Lifeforms.
Their Strength growth rate was second only to Li Yu, who had cheats. However, according to Peyton's estimation, the two were currently undergoing Strength supplentation.
The so-called Strength supplentation ant that with Tu Ying's Five-Blood Troll Bloodline, he should rightfully be a C-Tier Lifeform at his age.
However, because he was artificially created later in life, his Strength was insufficient, so he was currently undergoing Strength supplentation, hence the extrely fast growth rate. Keller was the sa.
Once the two entered the normal Strength stage, the rate of Amplification would slow down.
He didn't get to enjoy the peace and quiet for long. Early the next morning... Max ca looking for him in a flurry.
"Boss... I heard from General Aisel that you're being used as bait?" Max appeared indignant: "I told you Klein is Unreliable. She used to be a holy mother, now she's turned into a venomous woman."
During this period, his relationship with Max had beco quite good. The two often hung out together, squatting on the streets appreciating Female Beings of various races.
Max even wanted to beco the president of his fan club, but was ruthlessly rejected by Li Yu to avoid so scandal about the fan club president sleeping with fans.
To avoid this situation, he hadn't even contacted his fan club, saving himself the trouble of dealing with unreasonable things.
"You can't say it like that, Her Highness Klein treats quite well." Li Yu naturally couldn't explain it clearly to him, and could only speak tactfully.
"Well my ass!?" Max bristled, saying angrily: "You don't know, my dad told Klein brought it up herself to have you go be bait, and you're still making excuses for her."
"Many High Echelon mbers highly praised Klein's approach, saying this is considering the bigger picture."
Li Yu was sowhat surprised hearing this. He didn't expect Klein to be like him, turning passivity into initiative and winning quite a bit of prestige.
"My dad thought it was quite a pity. You could have originally beco a powerful combat force for the Military," Max sighed.
Pity was one thing, but General Aisel didn't stop the operation to capture Kalaitos. Once the Advancent process started, unless the A-Level Seed was confird completely dead, it wouldn't be stopped.
"The Military's combat force?" Li Yu slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah..." Max said subconsciously: "Didn't my dad tell you?"
Then, looking at Li Yu's half-smiling expression, he seed to realize he had misspoken, chuckling awkwardly twice: "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that by advancing to an A-Tier Lifeform using the Military's resources, you are branded with the Military's label."
"Your transfer orders will only take effect if the Military nods."
No wonder Aisel agreed so decisively to let him beco an A-Tier Lifeform, there was this layer to it. However...
"The transfer orders you ntioned... what does that an?" Li Yu asked.
"Transfer orders are just transfer orders..." Max shook his head back and forth: "You don't think that after becoming an A-Tier Lifeform, you'll just be carefree every day, eating, drinking, and playing, do you?"
Li Yu pondered for a mont and slowly nodded.
Max was Speechless for a while, explaining: "That's impossible. Return Star expending such massive resources isn't to let A-Tier Lifeforms enjoy life."
"Star System guarding... war transfer orders... star beast capturing... all require A-Tier Lifeforms."
"Whichever faction controls more A-Tier Lifeforms will have more say."
Every massive civilization would extend many tentacles, involving many aspects.
For example, exploring Unknown Starfields occupied a lot of resources. The vast Universe had yet to show its limits. Whether there existed even more powerful civilizations in distant places, no one knew.
Return Star naturally wouldn't just be busy clashing with the Star Glory Empire. It was just that Li Yu had been exposed to this aspect recently, so he knew more about it.
"When I told Edwin about this previously, that damn pervert actually praised Klein's choice. It pissed off so much," Max was extrely unhappy. "We've Gone Through Thick and Thin together, how could this guy be so disloyal."
Very fitting for Edwin's persona. If he spoke up for , I'd actually be suspicious.
Li Yu didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but asked in a low voice: "Are the higher-ups preparing for peace talks? Continuing down this path will only lead to war."
Li Yu naturally also knew the news of the two Star Glory Empire Colonial Planets declaring independence; he couldn't possibly not know.
This matter had already caused an uproar On the interstellar stage. Many civilizations lanted, originally thinking Return Star had just been passively taking a beating, not expecting them to directly pull a big one.
The impact of this kind of independence incident was massive. Although it was only two Colonial Planets, and ones with little presence at that, it still belonged to a major event of splitting the regi.
If not handled well, coupled with The Reforrs stirring up trouble in the dark, the impact would probably be very profound.
ntioning this topic, Max also hesitated a bit. After looking around, he said carefully: "I'm only telling you because you're my Boss. You must absolutely not leak this."
Li Yu naturally nodded in agreent.
"They are indeed preparing to negotiate, it's impossible to actually go to war..." Max confird Li Yu's guess, then frowned again: "But if they are really going to negotiate, there is a very thorny issue."
"That is, they must make the Star Glory Empire solve the Xinhuo Virus. But the Star Glory Empire can't possibly just bring out the vaccine directly, otherwise, it would be an indirect admission that the Xinhuo Virus is related to them."
"So it will probably drag on for a long ti..."
Many things could reach a consensus in the dark, but they just couldn't be placed out in the open. Even if the majority of civilizations believed the Xinhuo Virus was the Star Glory Empire's doing, the Star Glory Empire couldn't admit it.
"Are the High Echelon that sure the Star Glory Empire has a vaccine for the Xinhuo Virus?" Li Yu probed.
Max looked at him strangely, as if not understanding why Li Yu would ask such a question.
"The Star Glory Empire definitely has a solution, otherwise, if we throw the Xinhuo Virus back into the Star Glory Empire's territory, wouldn't they be Helpless?"
"Yeah, haven't you guys tried it?" Li Yu pressed.
"I don't know..." Max shook his head honestly: "The Star Glory Empire wouldn't be that stupid, would they? Creating a virus and releasing it without having a solution themselves?"
Li Yu didn't answer this question. According to his guess, the Star Glory Empire... probably really didn't have a solution. Perhaps they had containnt thods.
But a fundantal solution, they probably might not have.
Which ant to say, there would probably be major issues with this negotiation in the end.
Li Yu's eyes gradually brightened, gradually completing the final piece of his plan. He just needed to notify Klein; she was the key to this final piece.
Looking at Max, who was constantly complaining about Klein in front of him, he asked: "For Second-Generation Elites like you, what do you lack the most?"
"What do I lack?" Hearing this question, Max scratched his head, appearing sowhat confused.
Damn, evil Capitalist, I ask him what he lacks and this guy actually hesitates.
"Seems like I don't lack anything..." Max said sowhat helplessly.
"Weren't you quite envious of my dals, titles of nobility, and the like before?" Li Yu hinted pointedly.
"Right..." Max nodded, sighing: "My father is most afraid of having No Worthy Successor. Although my two older brothers are outstanding, they also rely on his glory."
"These seemingly empty titles are political capital on us. The reason my father can represent the Military to so extent is because he is one of the only two living Star-Forging Badge recipients."
"The other is Majesty Digor."
Li Yu suddenly understood. So that was how it was. The Star-Forging Badge was the highest level badge in Return Star, only awarded for rits that influenced the civilization's progression.
"For example, if you were about to receive a high-level badge, but soone wanted to snatch it away, would your father be very angry?" Li Yu probed.
Max said fiercely: "My father would skin him alive. Even the lowest level badge is hard-to-co-by political capital."
"Then I understand." Li Yu smiled, making Max sowhat puzzled, not knowing why Li Yu asked this question.
Li Yu patted his shoulder: "Hang out with your Boss, maybe one day I'll get you a high-level badge."
I don't want empty titles, Max doesn't want actual benefits. This is a perfect collaborator.
"Haha..." Max laughed: "Boss, you can't even protect yourself right now, yet you still have ti to think about ."
The two chatted for a while longer before Li Yu spoke up:
"Right... I still have one more thing, I have to go tell Her Highness Klein."
Li Yu left Max here and headed to Klein's place himself.
Max stamped his feet in anger, thinking Li Yu had already been captivated by Klein's beauty, even willing to throw his life away.
Looking at the continuously cursing Max, Hunter shook his head. Poor child, still having too little contact with Li Yu. Who captivated who was still uncertain.
The two talked secretly for a long ti. By the ti Li Yu left, three or four hours had already passed.
And he was also preparing to leave the Central Star System. The news of his departure was not broadcasted with great fanfare.
But he accepted a mission from the Talent Support and Cultivation Association, which was no secret. He believed Laser Man would definitely know.
And in fact, the speed at which this news spread was far faster than he imagined.
Sowhere in the Starry Sky, Laser Man hung up the communication, a sick sneer surging on his face: "Li Yu is leaving the Central Star System, our chance for revenge has co."
"So fast?" Even with Strength King's simple mind, he noticed sothing amiss about this matter.
"It couldn't be a Trap, right? Return Star hates us to the bone right now, they're probably trying everything to find us."
"It's definitely a Trap, he is the bait, trying to fish us in." Laser Man didn't doubt this at all, a cold light glinting in his eyes: "This is an Overt Strategy, it depends on whether we will take the risk."
"Since that's the case, let's avoid the sharp edge for now and ignore him," Strength King said conservatively. If it were a month ago, he couldn't imagine himself saying such things.
But now his teammate's level of madness far exceeded his. Last ti in the Beiwen Star System, if he hadn't pulled him back, Laser Man could have kept shooting for another half hour.
These two madn were going to get themselves killed sooner or later. Forced by circumstances, Strength King could only force himself to stay calm.
In the dead of night, he would often wonder, was the damage of a slap really that severe?
But when he imagined himself being Slapped by a B-Tier Lifeform.
And the gif being turned into an emote, spreading crazily on the internet, he would probably go crazy too.
"No need..." Laser Man rejected Strength King's suggestion.
Strength King frowned, his voice turning cold: "I have no interest in accompanying you to your death."
"Heh..." Laser Man glanced at him: "That guy's Destination is the Ordos System."
"The Ordos System?" Strength King was sowhat shocked hearing this: "Isn't that our new target? The location of the Titan Ruins?"
"Exactly..." Laser Man trembled all over, letting out a sick laugh: "Return Star thinks there's only us two A-Tier Lifeforms. The Ordos System will give them a big surprise."
"Li Yu... will also welco a big surprise!"
"The people in the Ordos System are not our people, they belong to another Noble," Strength King reminded.
Laser Man appeared crazy, but had his own thoughts: "Of course I know, but they also belong to the Star Glory Empire. I don't think Return Star will distinguish which Noble they belong to."
Strength King nodded, not refuting Laser Man's words. The other party was right, when the fighting started it would only be Star Glory Empire versus Return Star, there would be no distinction between Nobles, it was just...
"Why is it so coincidental that Li Yu also chose the Ordos System? Could it be a Return Star conspiracy?"
"That's a Titan Ruins, not just anything." Laser Man shook his head: "If Return Star knew the truth, they would definitely bear down with a massive army. Using a Titan Ruins as bait? We haven't reached that level yet."
"And such a Military mobilization cannot be hidden."
Strength King nodded reluctantly. That was indeed true, the value of the Titan Ruins far exceeded the two of them. However, he still had a bad feeling, though he didn't know where it ca from. He urged:
"This ti we must take Li Yu away directly. Don't waste ti trying to kill him on the spot."
"Don't worry..." The light of hatred flashed in Laser Man's eyes: "I will definitely To torture him slowly, making him experience ultimate pain, and I will even post it on the internet!"
