Chapter 374: The Large Battleship Sets Sail

Planet A61258.

No matter what happens in the entire star cluster of the human federation, it still feels out of place.

The whole planet is filled with celebration and joy.

Various forms of extreme entertainment make people forget all their troubles.

Countless conflicts and contradictions lead to thousands of people being left dead on the streets or disappearing each day.

However, no matter how unique it seems, this paradise of crime still belongs to the human federation.

Various speculations about what skills were taught during the Sixth Skill Teaching and discussions about Yi Chen’s whereabouts are everywhere.

The difference lies in that the people of other planets mostly believe that Yi Chen is hiding on some planet in the galaxy, gathering information about the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy.

On the other hand, those in this criminal paradise firmly believe that Yi Chen is planning to take out the headquarters of the Federal Parliament and the Federation Military all at once.

According to most of the outlaws, if they were in Yi Chen’s position, they would stop at nothing, even willing to perish together, just to destroy the headquarters of the Federal Parliament and the Federation Military and release their pent-up resentment.

In an underground modification factory,

a Large Battleship, five kilometers tall and several dozen kilometers long, sits parked.

Its lines are strong, cold, and majestic.

Dr. Qi Li is inspecting and checking the performance and stability of various equipment on this Large Battleship by himself.

The modifications have been completed for five days now.

For these five days, he has been repeatedly checking everything.

There’s no choice; he has to work hard to show his worth, gambling that Yi Chen will keep his promise.

Just as he prepares to check again, his vision flickers.

Yi Chen appears in front of him.

Of course, it is Yi Chen after having changed his appearance.

“M-Master…”

Dr. Qi Li’s heart races a few beats faster.

His personal judgment of life and death is about to be revealed.

“Don’t be nervous. I told you, I’m not interested in that small amount of money. If you’ve figured out how not to leak secrets, then I won’t kill you, and you will receive every bit of your reward,” Yi Chen says calmly.

This Dr. Qi Li has always crossed moral lines to make a profit, not caring about the identity of his clients who modify warships.

Mistakenly thinking he was a ruler from another race, he has been willing to overlook the purpose of the Large Battleship to save his life and earn rewards.

A person like this, a Human Traitor, certainly deserves a thousand deaths.

However, since he is indeed talented and has made a promise, Yi Chen does not plan to kill him.

Dr. Qi Li showed extreme joy and nodded repeatedly.

He believed that with Yi Chen being the strongest member of a dominant race, he would not go back on his word.

“Relax, don’t resist my Perception Ability!”

Yi Chen’s divine consciousness enveloped Dr. Qi Li’s brain and activated the Soul Searching Technique, easily breaking through his biological magnetic field.

Dr. Qi Li hurriedly relaxed his body and mind, allowing this force to invade.

In an instant, Yi Chen extracted Dr. Qi Li’s memories using the Soul Searching Technique.

After quickly checking these memories and considering Dr. Qi Li’s considerable understanding of warship modifications, he soon determined that this Dr. Qi Li had indeed done nothing to tamper with the Large Battleship.

After the modifications, the Space Jump System, Defense Systems, and attack system of the Large Battleship were all on par with those of the Federation Military’s active Large Battleships.

“Great!”

Yi Chen took Dr. Qi Li and instantly transported them outside the Large Battleship.

With a thought,

the massive Large Battleship was directly placed into the much larger storage ring.

“First, go erase the memories related to the models of all the systems on the battleship, then continue modifying those medium and small battleships!”

Yi Chen’s figure disappeared.

Dr. Qi Li sighed with relief.

He successfully avoided a disaster.

The hope of staying alive and receiving a huge financial reward grew larger.

…

After returning to the deserted star with the teleportation array set up, Yi Chen greeted the Shadow King and then used the teleportation array to reach the blood-colored planet directly.

He handed the Large Battleship over to Bai Ruo Xin and instructed her to arrange for personnel who had been trained and could operate the Large Battleship to officially board it and head for the Tree Star Cluster.

If all goes well, the Shadow Clan would arrive at the star cluster in about four months.

By then, there would be no news in the star cluster that he did not know about.

Moreover, if it weren’t for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe holding him back, he could easily unify the entire star cluster with the strength of the Shadow Clan.

When Bai Ruo Xin returned after arranging everything, Yi Chen would use the teleportation array to return to Fengmang planet.

He would then restore the flying treasure to the Great Flame Pirates.

While he constructed the law seals, he would provide the Great Flame Pirates with real-time information.

…

Half a day later,

in the palace of King Ties’ domain.

In an underground hidden chamber,

two strong members of the Swift Tribe were not in the mood for cultivation.

Ever since Lord Kedun, along with Crane King and King Wantong, came to confront them, they had been living in constant fear for over twenty days.

Not only did Lord Kedun suspect King Ties of robbing their treasure vault, but they also feared being implicated.

More importantly, they could not reach King Ties at all.

They couldn’t even contact the two strong members he brought along or several Swift Tribe Leaders who had communication stones.

While the people on Fengmang planet felt anxious and speculated whether King Ties was behind everything, they secretly doubted if King Ties had fallen.

This concern arose because four years ago, they had received notification that King Ties would soon return with a full load.

Logically, with the speed of King Ties’ royal pirate ship, he should have been back two years ago.

It was normal for delays due to unforeseen circumstances along the way, but not being able to contact anyone was highly unusual.

Considering the possibility of King Ties returning and secretly orchestrating a series of robberies by the Black Tiger Tribe on the nobles’ treasure vaults,

they leaned more towards the idea that King Ties’ royal pirate crew had encountered some irresistible powerful entities and had been completely destroyed.

If the former were true, King Ties would surely have informed them.

The kings continued to suspect that they were deliberately hiding information and cooperating with King Ties, but only they knew that there was nothing to keep secret.

They genuinely could not reach King Ties, nor could they contact anyone else.

This outcome was what they feared the most.

If King Ties’ royal pirate crew had truly been wiped out, once the news leaked,

the two strong men were sure that other nobles would rush to divide King Ties’ territory and all his wealth, except for Lord Kedun, who would surely come first.

Thus, they dared not let this news slip out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the news had not yet spread, they were planning for their own interests.

First, under the pretense of pirate attacks, they gathered all the resources and treasures from the vault and divided them between the two of them.

The two strong members who had followed King Ties, storing resources and treasures from their respective territories, were also packaged and divided similarly under the same pretext.

At present, they were secretly courting the Leader-level high-end combatants of the Swift Tribe, preparing to leave Fengmang planet.

Their plan was to bring a powerful group of leaders and a large amount of resources and treasures to develop on other planets.

Staying on Fengmang planet, news of King Ties’ death could not remain hidden forever.

Once it spread, even if they sought refuge with a noble, they would still have to hand over the resources and treasures they looted.

So, leaving Fengmang planet was the better choice.

Their only concern was that, during this preparation period, they might be discovered by the kings or that they could be attacked by Black Tiger Tribe pirates without a noble to protect them.

As the two strong men discussed their upcoming plans, they completely failed to notice a tiny flying treasure, no bigger than an ant, slip through various gaps and enter the hidden chamber.
