Li Ze was completely unaware of the bloodshed on the Star Network. At this time, he had arrived at Planet 13 in the Exile Star Region, which was also the last planet he would be on in the Exile Star Region.
After absorbing the malevolent energy of Planet 13, he was about to set off for the Death Starfield.
However, before heading to the Death Starfield, he needed to purchase another mech. He needed to bring Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan back, and one mech probably wouldn't be able to accommodate too many people.
If he had the means, he would have liked to equip the mechs with firearms. However, in the Empire, melee weapons could be freely produced, manufactured, and sold, but firearms could not.
Of course, some sell them privately, but he doesn't have the connections.
Li Ze spent ten days exploring Planet 13. On the eleventh day, he bought a mid-level mecha. It wasn't that he was unwilling to buy a high-level one, but that there were no high-level mechas for sale there.
Advanced mechs cost nearly 100 million star coins, and very few people here would buy them, so the merchants simply don't stock them.
After purchasing the mecha, Li Ze also bought a lot of medicine and nutrient solutions. In addition, he bought a large number of knives, all kinds of knives, nearly a hundred in total.
Before dawn the next day, he piloted his mech to the Death Starfield.
The Death Starfield and the Exile Starfield are not far apart, which is why space pirates used to frequent the Exile Starfield.
Piloting his mecha, Li Ze reached the outer edge of the Death Starfield in just one day.
I've come to this place again!
beauty!
mystery!
It's fraught with danger!
Li Ze gazed at the entire Death Starfield, his divine sense silently invading it.
He originally thought that after absorbing the evil energy of 13 planets, his strength would recover to 70-80% of his previous life, but due to injuries, he lost a lot of demonic energy and his body was also damaged. Now he has only recovered to about 50%.
Although it only has five layers, its divine sense can cover a range of more than ten miles around, which is enough.
"Xuanying, record our route," Li Ze said to Xuanying.
“Yes,” Xuan Ying replied.
The next second, Li Ze piloted his black mecha into the Death Starfield, disappearing like a streak of light into the dense and chaotic asteroid belt.
This time, Li Ze chose manual control. His manual control skills had become highly proficient after two months of training in the Exile Starfield.
The Death Starfield is riddled with meteorite belts, and Li Ze must concentrate all his efforts to narrowly avoid them.
Of course, if the mecha slowed down a bit, he could relax a little. But only a little, because in addition to the asteroid belt, there were also sudden meteorites. These meteorites varied in size and were all traveling at high speed. Once they collided, there was only one outcome: the mecha would be destroyed and the rider would die.
This is why the Empire and the Federation, despite their deep hatred for space pirates, dared not storm in.
Meanwhile, on Planet 1 of the Death Starfield, Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan, their eyes bloodshot, dragged their heavy steps toward the dilapidated little house, having just disembarked from the starship.
Xu Zhou followed behind the two of them, her pointed face full of disappointment.
How did he die?
That's it, there's no hope left.
While on the starship, Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan logged onto the Imperial Star Network as usual. As soon as they logged on, before they even had time to search for Li Ze's name, a whole bunch of trending topics about Li Ze popped up.
Unfortunately, they landed at the very moment when the affair between Li Ze and the eldest princess was at its most sensational.
The result was predictable: Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan, who had been waiting for Li Ze to come to the Death Starfield to rescue them, were devastated.
"Don't be like this. Actually, the Death Starfield is not bad. There's food, drink, and fun. Life here is quite good," Xu Zhou said, comforting Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan, who looked utterly hopeless.
Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan ignored his words, remaining silent and their eyes lifeless.
"If you really want to go back to the Empire, then join the space pirates," Xu Zhou said helplessly. "When the space pirates go out to plunder, you two can take the opportunity to run away."
Of course, the chances of successfully escaping are extremely slim.
Now, Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan both looked at Xu Zhou, giving him a look that said, "Do you think we're fools?"
"Since things have come to this, you should just stay here and live peacefully. Speaking of which, apart from the higher taxes, is the difference between here and the outside world really that big?" Xu Zhou really wanted to know.
Chen Kaiyang walked in and slumped onto the sofa. "Since we can't get out anyway, it's best you don't know."
"Why?" Xu Zhou pressed.
“Because it will be painful,” Wang Duan said quietly.
Perhaps due to their overconfidence in the treacherous environment of the Death Starfield, the space pirates were not very vigilant, and their mechs could freely enter and exit the planets within the Death Starfield.
The space pirates firmly control the routes in and out of the Death Starfield. These routes are known only to the pirate leaders and one or two of their closest confidants; everyone else is completely unaware of them.
The route map is a matter of life and death for them. Ordinary space pirates will not, and are not allowed to, inquire about it. If anyone is found asking about the route map, they can be killed on the spot, no matter who they are.
As a result, the roadmap became so obscure that residents throughout the Death Starfield dared not even inquire about it, let alone mention it.
It is something to be kept secret and avoided at all costs.
Li Ze landed silently on the space pirates' territory, unnoticed by anyone.
Li Ze stored the flashy black mecha into his spatial storage and switched to piloting his newly purchased medium-sized mecha, slowly flying towards the human-inhabited city.
When they were only two or three kilometers away from the human settlements, Li Ze got out of his mecha, put it away, and started walking.
To avoid being recognized by space pirates, Li Ze blackened his exposed skin and wore a hat and mask.
Upon entering the city from the suburbs, the first thing Li Ze had to do was to find out which planet this was.
As for who to inquire about, Li Ze chose a kind-looking auntie at a roadside stall.
The woman was selling a snack shaped like a pancake. It looked dark and had a coarse grain aroma.
"I have nutrient solution, medicine and various knives here. Can I exchange them for a few cakes?" Li Ze's voice was soft, and he looked somewhat timid and pitiful.
The woman across from me immediately felt a pang of pity and asked gently, "What medicines do you have?"
"Injury medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and fever reducers." Li Ze only mentioned these three types, which are commonly used medications.
The woman's eyes lit up, but the next second she said in a deep voice, "Is your medicine real? Medicine is what we lack most on Planet 3. It's not just expensive, but even if you have money, you can't necessarily buy it. Where did you get your medicine?"
Li Ze lowered his eyes, not expecting to get the answer he wanted so quickly.
“It came from outside. My brother worked for Chief Els. But he was killed by a Void Beast a little over two months ago. Without my brother, the family lost its source of income, so I had no choice but to give him these medicines…” Li Ze’s voice grew softer and softer, his body trembling slightly.
