Ugh, I never want to be knocked unconscious again in my life.

Lying in a fairly tidy room, Xia Shizhao opened his eyes uncomfortably, rubbed his lower back, and pulled open his clothes to take a look.

As expected, it turned purple.

Damn robbers.

They were already being so cooperative, yet they still knocked themselves unconscious.

He tried to use his mental energy, but found it was completely suppressed. Damn it, it even works on an omega's mental energy.

Xia Shizhao looked dejected, turned to look out the window, and realized that he was still drifting in the vast Milky Way.

No wonder they robbed them; floating in the Milky Way every day must be incredibly expensive.

I got up and glanced around the room.

Although small, it has all the vital organs.

I walked to the door and pulled on it.

It's locked.

Helpless, he stood at the door and knocked, "Is anyone home? Open the door."

"OK."

The door opened, and two people stood straight in the doorway, exuding righteousness. Their military posture was far more precise than Xia Shizhao's; anyone who didn't know better would mistake them for bandits.

Where is your boss?

"In the training room."

Still standing straight, eyes not looking to the side.

Two robots.

Xia Shizhao silently complained, a little disgusted, "Where's the training room? Take me there."

"When the boss is training, she doesn't want anyone to disturb her. She said you can wander around here as you like."

"Don't be afraid I'll tear this place down."

"If you're not afraid of death, you can try."

"That won't do, I'm afraid of dying."

Xia Shizhao shrugged and slowly began to wander around inside the luxurious airship.

There are plenty of rooms for entertainment and relaxation, four people per room, but there aren't many people on the airship.

This shouldn't be the main base.

However, this Sister Lan is quite hardworking; she doesn't forget to train even while robbing.

Soon, she arrived at a training ground and discovered that not only Sister Lan was working hard, but all the Star Ocean bandits were working hard; they were all training.

Xia Shizhao stood to the side, leisurely sipping his coffee. Putting everything else aside, this group of people looked quite young, much better looking than the group from school.

Is it due to practical reasons?

Thinking back to the fighting prowess of my classmates in the mecha department during my freshman year.

A robber can take on two at once.

Xia Shizhao's lips twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to take another sip.

Who cares? Why should a logistics staff member think so much?

Anyway, it's something the Star Alliance leaders and their group need to think about.

"Want to go up and race against them, you military academy student?"

The frail woman she had seen on the civilian airship appeared beside her with a smile.

Xia Shizhao shook his head, "Wouldn't I be asking for a beating if I went up there? I'm not crazy."

"Sigh," the woman sighed, "the military academy really ruined you all."

Xia Shizhao took another sip without expression, then silently moved a little further away, seemingly very disgusted.

But the woman seemed unaware of this and moved closer to her, saying, "Don't you know that the boss used to be from your school too?"

I didn't want to talk to her; her outfit was obviously mecha-themed.

Xia Shizhao turned to leave, but the woman clung to her, chattering incessantly in her ear:

"Do you know why our boss became a bandit? Can you guess what our boss's gender is?"

He looked at her with a hint of impatience, speechless: "How should I know?"

"Of course you don't know, this is a scandal at your school, everyone was tricked into drinking the forgetfulness potion!"

The woman's tone seemed unusually angry, "The boss is an omega! And the forgetfulness potion has side effects! It's harmed so many people..."

"Qinzhu! Shut up."

Sister Lan, with a sweat towel around her neck wiping away sweat, coldly reprimanded him.

Qin Zhu's previously manic expression calmed down a bit, but her chest still swelled considerably as she brushed past Sister Lan's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Qinzhu sometimes can't control her emotions."

"oh."

Xia Shizhao was actually quite curious about why he had been tricked into drinking the forgetfulness potion. He knew that the forgetfulness potion needed to be matched with each person's constitution, otherwise it could easily cause serious problems. Since learning about this potion, Xia Shizhao would not easily use it on others. He would usually observe the user's physical condition before he dared to prepare it, and there had never been any problems. Naturally, he did not know what the side effects would be.

If it's a scandal, it definitely needs to be forgotten by a large number of people in a short period of time, so the medicine wouldn't be prepared so meticulously.

It seems that Qin Zhu's sickly appearance is related to the medicine.

"My name is Lan Yun."

Xia Shizhao glanced at the outstretched hand, but didn't shake it. He tilted his head and remained silent.

Lan Yun wasn't angry; her tone was very gentle.

"I heard that the mech you built in this competition is one that anyone can use, and it only requires ten energy stones, saving a lot of resources compared to the mech you abandoned at the beginning."

Xia Shizhao nodded. "So, you want me to help you make mechas?"

"Yes, but it doesn't require energy stones, but rather... Zerg crystal cores."

Xia Shizhao didn't know what expression to give her, and hesitated to speak:

"...Aren't you overestimating me?"

No, I believe you can.

"I don't believe it."

"You have to believe it whether you like it or not."

Lan Yun appears gentle on the surface, but her strong presence makes her hard for Xia Shizhao to ignore.

He shrugged.

"Okay, give me a studio and enough materials, and I'll do my best."

Xia Shizhao had actually thought of using the Zerg crystal core and was planning to go back and try it out, but he ended up being caught at the bandit's house.

It's hard to hold back.

Lan Yun touched her nose: "We don't have the materials for now."

Xia Shizhao looked up at her with dead fish eyes.

She was a little angry. Why was she a third of a head taller than her, even though they were both omegas?

"But we'll snatch it for you quickly. There's a cargo airship on this road, full of mecha materials."

The unwavering confidence in his tone made Xia Shizhao silently light a candle for the caravan.

Amen, may you not go bankrupt.

Or bring less material.

"What about the Zerg crystal core? I need to see it; I've never handled one before," Xia Shizhao asked.

Lan Yun readily agreed, "There are quite a few of those. Put on your protective suit and I'll take you there. I also have purification devices here."

After putting on protective clothing, Xia Shizhao followed her to a small dark room. When the door was opened, the room was filled with round, multicolored crystal cores.

"That's the secondary and low-level, that's the intermediate level, that's the high-level, and that's the juvenile king level."

Lan Yun pointed to the colors and introduced them one by one. Xia Shizhao only knew that the insectoid race had crystal cores, but did not know that they were divided into levels.

Suddenly, I remembered the ring I bought a long time ago, "What about the light blue one?"

"That's an adult Queen Beetle; the lighter the color, the more powerful it is."

"Wow, okay, you can go now, I'll take a look myself."

Xia Shizhao pushed the person out, squatted down on the ground and watched, closing his eyes.

The crystal core has strong energy, but it is very turbid and cannot be used by ordinary people. Using it will cause emotional outbursts and may easily lead to violent incidents.

It needs to be filtered by an air purifier, but even an air purifier may not be able to filter it completely, so the Zerg's crystal cores are generally not very useful.

In addition, the air purifier is generally not used outside, so Lan Yun snatched it to make it convenient for her to do experiments. However, being forced to work by Lan Yun made Xia Shizhao slightly unhappy.

He sighed softly; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Everyone is frantically searching for Xia Shizhao's whereabouts.

However, the Star Ocean Bandits had an excellent apothecary. They always used disguise potions to rob people, so no one knew what they looked like.
