In the Boundless Sea of Stars, a medium-sized but rather glamorous starship was slowly cruising.
Inside the Starship, Gu Nan was flipping through an ancient book under the pale yellow light.
After a while, he took off his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed his eyes tiredly. Then, he recorded something on a piece of paper beside him.
"Names of people, places, items … 352 clues related to 'Max', 41 of which can be related to the 'Eye of Max'."
After going through the ancient books and materials for a few days, Gu Nan finally sorted out the clues related to "Max".
As a professional player, whenever there was a clue related to a mission, Gu Nan didn't like to ask others to do it himself. It wasn't that he didn't have people he could use, nor was he a natural workaholic. It was just that he didn't trust other people's abilities.
He always felt that it was easy to miss some important clues if he asked others to do it himself, but he wouldn't — to put it bluntly, he was narcissistic.
"Gu, Uncle Gu … the two Miss Lu's are looking for you." Lin Yunyun's voice came from outside, but when she called him, she was obviously hesitant.
As Lin Yunyun's adoptive father, Gu Nan decisively raised his seniority and flatly refused to be called "Brother."
After failing to induce the little girl to call him "Dad," he finally called him "Uncle."
When Gu Nan came to the outer room, the two sisters, Lu Xinyu and Land Marigold, were already waiting there.
Gu Nan and Lu Xinyu were brought onto the Starship by Land Marigold. At that time, Lu Xinyu was still looking for help outside, so today was the first time the two met after they parted ways.
"Come, call me Sister," Gu Nan said to Lin Yunyun.
Lin Yunyun greeted them obediently, "Hello, Sister Lu's."
"Hello!" Lu Xinyu replied with a smile. She had a gentle temperament, and she especially liked little girls like Lin Yunyun.
"Alright, you can go and play by yourself first."
"Okay, Uncle."
Lu Xinyu: "…"
…
"No matter what, Mr Gu is willing to lend a hand. Thank you so much!"
Although Lin Yunyun's address made her a little confused, the joy on Lu Xinyu's face was not fake. She had already heard about Gu Nan's achievements.
Gu Nan's reputation in Red Carp wasn't very good, but Lu Xinyu wasn't a pedantic person. Lu's Family was a real super aristocratic family, so it was impossible for their descendants to be too naive.
Gu Nan smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is just a transaction."
Gu Nan would provide them with military force, and Lu's Family would assist Gu Nan in finding the Eye of Max. This was the deal between the two parties.
As the next clue to the series of events, the Eye of Max appeared when "66 Amaterasu" was mentioned. Therefore, Gu Nan had reason to suspect that the clue was on 66 Amaterasu.
As the key person in the incident, Lin Yunyun naturally had to come along.
Therefore … Sister Gu Nian had to suffer and temporarily find Yan Xiaoxiao to solve her physiological needs.
Gu Nan and Lu Xinyu chatted for a while. It was the latter who was basically thanking him, while Land Marigold acted like a human statue and didn't take the initiative to speak at all.
She knew that Gu Nan had always been a person who didn't hold back his words and wouldn't help her hide her identity. If she wasn't careful, she would be exposed.
"It's still two days to reach 66 Amaterasu. Gu Nan, why don't you come out for a walk?" Lu Xinyu said with a smile. "The scenery of the Endless Sea of Stars can't be seen anywhere else."
…
On the other side of the Starship, a man and a woman from Lu's Family were talking.
This Starship was privately owned by Lu's Family. Other than Gu Nan and the others, there were also other children of the Luka Clan and the helpers they invited.
"Cousin Huaiyun, I heard that you invited an Interstellar Hunter this time?" The woman gently leaned on the railing of the deck and said with a smile.
The woman's name was Lu Jing. She was from a relatively remote branch of Lu's Family. This time, she was only here to join in the fun.
The "Cousin Huaiyun" she mentioned was one of the more famous children of Lu's Family. He was also from 66 Amaterasu. Whether it was his connections or his own ability, he was quite good.
"Yes, a five-star Interstellar Hunter." Lu Huaiyun didn't hide it and said with a smile.
Lu Jing was stunned when she heard this. Then, she exclaimed, "Five-star! There aren't many in the entire Ninth Starfield, right? Could it be … "
Lu Huaiyun waved his hand and said, "Don't guess blindly … It's Guan Shanxue, the disciple of Mr. Kang of Yin Yang Tower. He just reached five-star two months ago."
"Oh …" Lu Jing seemed a little disappointed, but she quickly became happy again. "Guan Shanxue has been a Transcendent for many years. Looks like Sister Xinyu will lose to you again, cousin."
Lu Huaiyun's family had never been on good terms with Land Marigold and her sister. Lu Jing said this to please them.
"Hahaha! The sisters have already gone to the Red Carp. What kind of powerful helpers can they find? " Lu Huaiyun laughed heartily. "True experts don't stay on Administrative Planets. They're all adventuring in the universe!"
There were countless relics and treasures in the universe, so it could attract top martial artists. Lu Huaiyun wasn't wrong.
Lu Jing complimented him a few more times and suddenly said, "Cousin Huaiyun, I heard that Zhan Yu brought a helper with her. That person even brought a little girl."
"Oh?" Lu Huaiyun seemed to have heard something that interested him. He laughed loudly and said, "Not bad, Xiao Jing, I, your cousin, will accept your kindness!"
…
A moment later, Gu Nan held Lin Yunyun's hand and walked slowly in the middle of the Starship.
Next to them was a transparent floor-to-ceiling window that reflected the view of the universe outside. Lin Yunyun was only a thirteen-year-old girl. She had already rushed to the window and looked at the endless galaxy enviously.
However, she looked like she had never seen the world. Of course, Lin Yunyun had never seen much of the world.
Her actions attracted a burst of laughter from the people around her.
Lin Yunyun was enjoying the view of the galaxy when she was startled by the laughter. She turned around and looked behind her. It turned out that the Starship restaurant was behind her.
The original intention of this design was to let the customers in the restaurant see the stars when they lifted their heads.
The girl looked at the customers' smiles and finally realized that her actions had been seen by them. She blushed instantly.
On the other hand, Gu Nan and Land Marigold didn't have any expression on their faces. Land Marigold was shrewd and controlled her emotions well. As for Gu Nan …
"Little sister, I think you should bring them to have a meal first." A magnetic voice sounded. It was a man's voice. He couldn't hide the smile in his voice.
"It's just the universe. There are plenty of opportunities to see it." The man in the silver suit lowered his head and said to Lin Yunyun, "Little sister, don't you think so?"
His gaze was a little playful, causing Lin Yunyun's body to shrink.
Land Marigold stood at the side and smiled. "Cousin Huaiyun, I advise you to put away your thoughts. There are some people you can't afford to offend."
"Oh?" Lu Huaiyun narrowed his eyes and finally looked at Gu Nan. "How should I address you, brother?"
However, Gu Nan ignored him. He was still looking at the starry sky outside the window.
Land Marigold smiled and said, "This is Mr. Gu, Gu Nan."
Lu Huaiyun frowned. He vaguely felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
