Meng En smiled mysteriously, he reached out and took out a photo, and pointed at Li Shu and Huo Wei. The photo showed a blurry image, but the outline could be vaguely seen.

The outline is exactly the same as that of Da Technology.

"I bought this at a high price! If you want it, you'll have to pay more. You can analyze the photo however you want. I guarantee it's authentic and was taken with an ancient camera."

Li Shu: ...

Ancient camera?

The ancient times of interstellar space?

Li Shu looked at Huo Wei with some confusion, and whispered to him, "There is an ancient period in the interstellar space? What does this mean?"

Li Shu didn't react for a moment.

Huo Wei's voice was steady as he helped Li Shu recall the past.

"At the very beginning of interstellar space, our ancestors came from another galaxy. They built this galaxy, developed most of the planets, and successfully reproduced and thrived. Among them, Gaia, the ancestor of the royal family, was one of those who made outstanding contributions. Everyone loved him very much, so they supported him as the first emperor."

"History books call it the Age of Barbarism."

Li Shu nodded and said to Huo Wei, "So that's how it is."

Li Shu answered while looking at the photo. The photo was actually taken with very low technical skills, as if it was just taken casually and then thrown away.

Gaia?

Li Shu felt vaguely familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.

Li Shu turned around and continued to Meng En, "You want money for a photo? Do you know who took this photo? Is it still there?"

In ancient times, it must have turned into cosmic dust long ago. Could it be that the origin of Chengda Technology has completely become a mystery? Li Shu has always been a little unwilling to accept this.

Howie held his hand, pressed it gently, and signaled him to be patient.

Meng En raised the corner of his lip and whispered, "Of course not. Although the owner of this photo has passed away, his descendants still have his diary. However, his diary was written with pen and paper, and few people can understand it now."

"It uses very complicated ancient characters. I thought it might contain what you need, so I bought it."

"The descendants were quite straightforward and gave it to me directly."

"There's another piece of news. I went to ask around and found out that almost every family of this owner's relatives, friends, and descendants has a legend circulating among them. It's a legend that's only circulated among the family."

"It is said that this four-legged beast was once brought from another planet, and our ancestors brought it here."

Li Shu was shocked, as if he had not expected it at all.

His voice was slightly hoarse as he asked Meng En, "Are those who say this related to the royal family?"

Meng En nodded.

He scratched his head and said to Li Shu and Huo Wei, "Yes! They are basically related, but they call this animal a Qilin."

"It's said to be an ancient auspicious beast that can bring wealth and prosperity."

Li Shu was extremely shocked. He glanced at Huo Wei silently, put away the photo, and whispered to Meng En: "If anyone asks you, you must always say you don't know. If you leak even a little bit."

Li Shu turned his wrist and began to scare Meng En.

Meng En naturally didn't dare to say much. He made a gesture to keep his mouth shut and happily took the last 300,000 star coins.

Li Shu whispered, "If you have any more diaries like this in the future, give them to me. I want them all."

As soon as Li Shu finished speaking, Huo Wei looked at Li Shu and gave him a puzzled look.

Li Shu raised his head and looked at Huo Wei, and whispered to him, "Let's talk outside."

Huo Wei pursed his lips, looked towards Li Shu, and said nothing more. The bar was crowded with people and gossip, so it wasn't really a place for serious conversation.

Meng En smiled.

"Goodbye, both of you. If you have any news, you can tell me. I will take anything."

"Although this bar isn't a place for conversation, I dare say it's the most informed place in the entire Garden Galaxy."

Because everyone else is busy with tourism development.

Amidst the clusters of flowers and crystals, only Meng En's bar was selling information.

Li Shu raised his head and looked at Huo Wei. Huo Wei nodded and looked at Li Shu.

"So do you know anything about Joe Lus? Is he really dead?"

Died in the line of duty, this kind of nonsense can only fool ordinary people, right?

Meng En pointed at the money basket.

"Just give me one star coin, and consider it a message from me."

Li Shu threw down a star coin, looked at Meng En, and raised his eyebrows at him.

"How is it? What's going on with Joe Luce?"

Meng En's words were simple, direct and straightforward.

"He's not dead. When he was sent to the research institute, he embezzled the money belonging to him from the royal family's account and ran away."

"The last news we got was that he arrived at the garbage planet and boarded a spaceship. We don't know where he went, but I don't think he will be called Qiao Lu Si anymore."

"The royal family's claim of death in the line of duty is just a cover-up."

Meng En snapped his fingers.

"I even lost two glasses of wine over this. I think Qiao Lusi is more flexible than Princess Liya. He ran away when he saw the incident at the research institute. You two should be careful. I heard that Marshal Huo Wei and Mr. Li Shu will be passing by soon... I'm afraid they won't be safe."

Li Shu paused slightly, then raised his head and looked at Meng En, a curious expression in his eyes. He whispered to Meng En, "What do you mean? Why are you so restless now that these two are here?"

Meng En looked at them with a smile.

"They're so popular, there's a lot of people on Garden Planet selling their route maps, and a lot of young girls and boys are coming to us to buy information."

"It's better for you two to stay away."

Meng En's eyes were filled with a hint of smile. He looked towards Li Shu and said softly to him, "Otherwise, if you get bumped into, it will probably be trouble again."

Li Shu thanked him and walked out holding hands with Huo Wei. He looked at Huo Wei with a smile and whispered to him, "I don't know if it's because you've always been famous, or if I've become famous by riding on your popularity... I'm afraid we'll have to pretend to be famous when we go out in the future."

Howie frowned.

He looked towards Li Shu.

"Then I'll send people to clear the area in advance?"

Li Shu shook his head.

"That's so boring. Let me see what's written in this diary."

Li Shu pulled Huo Wei to sit next to him, they leaned close together, and Li Shu opened the well-preserved diary, as if the owner had engraved the words there yesterday.

Li Shu's voice was light and steady.

"March 1st, Star Calendar Year 1, clear. We have finally arrived at a habitable star system."
