Mi Su and Mi Qi looked at the picturesque scenery on both sides of the road. It was different from the skyscrapers and mechs they had seen before. Their interest was piqued, and they did not want to go back. Behind them, a middle-aged man followed leisurely, carrying bags of various sizes. He looked relaxed.
Mi Qi could not help but say, "No wonder Grandpa doesn't want to leave. I don't even want to go back." Mi Qi was about 17 or 18 years old. He was quite handsome, and his every movement had the demeanor of an aristocrat. He was gentle and refined, and many young girls would look at him along the way. However, Mi Qi was used to it. He ignored it and behaved naturally.
Mi Su could not help but agree, "Yes, Grandpa has worked hard for the family for most of his life. To be able to find a place like this to enjoy his old age is a great fortune." Mi Su was Mi Qi's elder sister. The siblings shared the same mother, and they were close since young.
Just then, the communicator on the middle-aged man's wrist rang. Mi Su, Mi Qi, and Mi Qi stopped and turned to look at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man quickly turned on the communicator, but his face darkened after a few words. He said something in a low voice and turned off the communicator.
"Uncle Yun, did something happen?" Mi Su asked gently when she saw the middle-aged man's pale face.
Uncle Yun bowed and replied, "Young Mistress, the family had just reported that the vicinity of Lunaris was not peaceful. There seemed to be traces of pirate activity."
"Lunaris?" Mi Qi could not help but frown. "Isn't that a place we have to pass through?"
"Yes. The family leader asked us to hire more people. It's better to be safe than sorry. "Uncle Yun said.
This time, they had specially come to visit their granduncle. Grandpa did not like crowds, so they did not bring many people. However, he did not expect to hear about the massacre of eight Jie experts and the confrontation between the three aristocratic families in Fluttering Star's Foundation City. Mi Qi and Mi Su knew that this was a serious matter. After some discussion, they sent the guards to gather information, leaving only Uncle Yun, who had watched them grow up, with them. The three of them disguised themselves as regular travelers, and arrived at Yi Ju on a starship. The journey was uneventful.
Mi Su hesitated, and asked, "Brother, should we wait for a while before leaving?"
"How can we do that?" Mi Qi flatly refused and proudly said, "The Clan's disciple assessment is about to begin. As the Clan Leader's son, how can I not set an example?"
Mi Su was speechless. She knew her brother very well. He was influenced by their father. Whenever something related to the clan was involved, he would be like this.
"Looks like we'll have to hire more people." Uncle Yun's tone was rather pessimistic. He had watched Miss and Young Master grow up, so he knew his temper.
Mi Su frowned, "I wonder how good the pilots here are. It would be great if we had a large mech squad. "
Uncle Yun didn't say anything, but he didn't think much of it. His experience wasn't something the two young masters and young mistresses could compare to. It was obvious that the economy of this place was not as developed as it used to be. He could basically ascertain the standard of the local mech pilots.
However, there was no other way. He could only take it one step at a time. Hiring someone was the only solution.
Just as everyone was frowning, their communicators rang again. But this time, it was Misu's.
Mi Su looked at the caller and smiled, "It's Sister Qing." Mi Qi quickly jumped to the side as if he had just heard the plague. His expression made Uncle Yun want to laugh.
"Sister Qing, you're home?" Fan Qing's image was very clear on the holographic screen. She was lying lazily on the bed. Fan Family and Mi Family were close. Mi Su often played with her, so she was very familiar with her room.
"Yes, I've finally completed the mission. Hehe, little Su Su, you'll never guess which mech squad completed the mission!" There was a tinge of pride in her languid expression. She would only reveal such a naive expression in front of this close friend of hers.
Mi Su knew what Fan Qing was thinking. She pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Is it Douglas?" Douglas was a famous mech squad. They did not have many members, but all of them were elites. It was said that they were very strict with their new members. Being able to join Douglas was an affirmation of one's capability. Because there weren't many members in Douglas, they rarely accepted large-scale missions. Instead, they focused on missions that were more difficult and didn't require many people to complete. However, the rewards for these missions were very high, so their income was also very high.
"Douglas? Nope! " Fan Qing shook her head. She had met with Douglas a few times before, so she knew a little about their capabilities.
Mi Su continued to guess, "Then it's Trilobite?" Trilobite was a large mech squad with a wide influence. Their regiment commander, Luo Rufeng, had a wide network of friends. He was on good terms with many major forces, including the Mi Family and Fan Family.
"Nope." Fan Qing's face was even more proud.
Mi Su smiled and said softly, "Then I don't know." Fan Qing had more dealings with these two mech squads. She did not know about the other mech squads.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to guess." Fan Qing giggled, "This mech squad is only half a star."
"Half a star?" Mi Su was shocked, "What's the use of a half a star?" She was not familiar with the outside world, but she knew the basics. A mech squad's evaluation was based on the missions they completed. A half star mech squad was the lowest level. Douglas and Trilobite were both five-star mech squads.
Fan Qing said disapprovingly, "I thought so too. But this mech squad seems to have gained some new members. They found three Ripple Orchids. "
"Three?" Mi Su covered her cherry lips and gasped. She and Fan Qing were good friends since they were young. She knew how rare and precious Ripple Orchids were. Now that someone found three Ripple Orchids, she was shocked.
"Yeah, this mech squad is a little weird." Fan Qing stretched her body and showed off her perfect body in front of Mi Su. "They went to Planet Yi Ju instead of a developed planet. Don't you think it's weird?"
"Planet Yi Ju?" Mi Su's eyes lit up. Mi Qi and Uncle Yun looked at each other.
"Yeah, I don't know what's so good about that remote place." Fan Qing could not help but curse.
"Sister Qing, you're cursing again." Mi Su grumbled, then explained, "Planet Yi Ju's scenery is very beautiful. My brother and I are both here. Sister Qing, how strong are they? "
Fan Qing pondered, "I don't know. But they should be strong. And they seem a little weird. But from the looks of those strange masked men that day, they should be quite skilled. "
"Masked men?" That was a strange name.
"Yeah, I heard it's their special custom. They said that except for their relatives, anyone who sees them will fight to the death. Hehe, little Su Su, why don't you try to take off their masks and see if they would hurt you? Hee hee, aiya, no, no, they probably directly pulled you over to be their relative. Relative? Lover! Haha. "Fan Qing seemed to have thought of something funny and laughed.
"You're not serious!" Mi Su gave Fan Qing a sideways glance, but inadvertently revealed her flirtatious look. "Sister Qing, do you have their contact information?"
Fan Qing stopped laughing and asked curiously, "Little Su Su, why would you want their contact information?"
Mi Su explained the situation to Fan Qing. Fan Qing's face turned solemn. He thought for a while and said, "You can go and try. Their situation is a little weird. I'm not too sure. But be careful, don't expose yourself. Too bad we don't have any mech pilots stationed there, or we wouldn't have to hire a mech squad. "
"Okay, got it." Mi Su answered obediently.
"Oh, where's Little Qiqi?" Fan Qing asked.
Mi Su's face twitched. She suddenly held her stomach and screamed, "Ouch, my stomach hurts …" She turned around and ran away with a high-pitched voice.
Mi Su grinned. In the holographic image, Fan Qing said angrily, "That little Qiqi, humph …"
In a deserted valley, a starship was parked. It was the Coxcomb. However, the elegance of the Coxcomb was nowhere to be seen. The hull of the warship was badly damaged, and signs of distortion could be seen everywhere.
Inside the Coxcomb.
Little Rock was busy calculating something. Beside him, Zhu Ling was fiddling with her Overwing. The ace mech of the Sanctuary was like a toy in her hands. Her eyes would occasionally fall on Little Rock. Qiu Man sat there quietly, deep in thought. Lian Yue was watching her from the side, mumbling to himself from time to time. Anyone with good hearing would be able to hear it.
"The curve of her chin is perfect!"
"Skin like snow, breath like orchids. Hmm, her eyes are moving. Tsk tsk, as expected of a pervert."
…
"Strange, why does it feel so familiar?" Mu's bionic eyes twinkled as he looked at the scenery outside the window.
The Great Elder of the Sanctuary was having a headache. The situation had been tense recently, and all the forces in the Sanctuary were held back. None of those who went to the primordial planet had returned. There was not even a single message. Every time he thought about it, he would feel a strong sense of foreboding. He had sent out five batches of people, but they were all like clay oxen in the sea. There was no response, not even a word. That place was like a black hole, devouring everything.
What had happened there?
Just when he was at his wits end, another order came from above. The order was for Feng Su and the other aces to return immediately. Truth be told, he was shocked when he saw the order. It was the first time in all these years that an order from above for reinforcements was issued.
As someone who came from that place, he knew how powerful the forces there were. Now, they wanted to transfer people from his place. How could he not be shocked?
He could only smile bitterly. He did not have the courage to disobey the order.
"What? They refused to visit? "Mi Su covered her mouth, shocked.
Mi Qi was also furious. As the eldest son of a noble family, he had never been rejected like this before. "Yes, I asked if I could visit their base, and they said no. How infuriating!" Mi Qi said angrily.
"That's strange." Mi Su muttered.
"Yes, it's strange." Uncle Yun agreed, "Normally, mech squads would not reject requests like this, because it's a way to show off their strength to the client. Now they're rejecting it, strange!"
"Then did they accept the request?" Mi Su tilted her head and asked softly.
"They said to discuss when we meet," Mi Qi said hesitantly.
Old Chief Guo was dozing off in the office when he suddenly received a call in the morning, saying that Fan Qing had recommended them to him. Old Chief Guo was overjoyed at the lack of requests, but the request for a tour made him feel awkward. After contacting Ye Chong, Ye Chong turned down the request.
There was nothing in the base, only mechs. The strength of these five thousand men was comparable to a Jie expert. As long as one was an expert, they would often be able to see through many small details. Once these people arrived, the news would become the most sensational news in the He Yue galaxy the next day.
Money was important, but safety was more important. One of the reasons why Ye Chong chose Yi Ju was because of safety. Yi Ju was at the edge of the Calamitous Asteroid Belt. If anything went wrong, Ye Chong could bring the Sang Tribe into the Calamitous Asteroid Belt. The Calamitous Asteroid Belt was like an excellent secret passage. Its complicated terrain would prevent the enemy from surrounding them. No one was more familiar with the Calamitous Asteroid Belt than they were. The Calamitous Asteroid Belt was also the entrance to the Calamitous Asteroid Belt. The communication between Archipelago and planet Yi Ju could be done discreetly.
Never reveal your full strength. Ye Chong knew this from experience.
Since the real boss had spoken, the boss in name had to do as he was told. Old Chief Guo could imagine the other party's anger. According to the usual practice of mech squads, this was disrespectful to the client. Besides, someone recommended by Fan Qing must have some background.
It seemed like the deal was off. Old Chief Guo turned off the comms and sighed.
