The person most enraged by the news that Li Ze was still alive was none other than the eldest princess, Zhao Lingman. Upon learning the news, Zhao Lingman was so angry that she vomited blood and was rushed to the hospital.
This matter was spread to the StarNet, causing another bloody uproar.
"Is this resentment?"
"She was probably angry. So, she really wanted Li Ze dead."
"Li Ze's survival is due to her own abilities. But it's true that she wanted to kill, and it's also true that she took action. So, her current predicament is not unjust at all."
"Heaven is watching what people do. The reason Li Ze is alive is because Heaven thinks he is kind-hearted and doesn't want him to die."
"Given Li Ze's achievements, shouldn't the Empire offer him an official position?"
"Li Ze might not even care."
......
Li Ze was completely unaware of what was happening on the StarNet.
At this moment, he was having a video call with Lan Shuang and Zhou Yang.
Lan Shuang's eyes were red as she rushed over and gave Li Ze a light hug. "Thank goodness, you're still alive."
"I'm sorry, I should have contacted you sooner," Li Ze said remorsefully. Having lived alone for thousands of years, he never imagined that others would be saddened by his situation.
"There can't be a next time," Lan Shuang said, sniffling.
Li Ze hummed in agreement. "There won't be a next time."
"Li Ze, I've watched your video seven times! You're amazing!" Zhou Yang's eyes shone with admiration.
Li Ze asked, puzzled, "What video?"
"You didn't know?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
Li Ze shook his head.
“Then you can go and take a look. I have many questions I want to ask you in person. When are you going back to Vermilion Bird Star?” Zhou Yang’s tone was somewhat impatient.
“I’m not going back to Vermilion Bird Star. I want to travel around some more,” Li Ze said.
"Is your travels not over yet?" Lan Shuang asked hesitantly. It was too dangerous outside, and she didn't want Li Ze to continue wandering around.
But when she thought about how Li Ze had been confined to his home and lying in a hospital bed for the past twenty years, she couldn't say what she wanted to say.
“My goal is to travel all over the empire,” Li Ze said.
Lan Shuang and Zhou Yang exchanged a glance and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
“Then don’t go south. There’s a war going on there right now, a once-in-a-century Void Beast tide,” Zhou Yang said. Originally it was fifty years, but with the continuous influx of Void Beasts into the battlefield, fifty years has become a hundred years.
Li Ze did not reply. If he hadn't known, he might not have gone, but now that he knew, he was determined to go south.
"Why aren't you saying anything? You don't mean you're planning to go, do you?" Zhou Yang suddenly had a bad feeling.
Li Ze nodded, completely honest, "I'm going."
Snap!
Zhou Yang slapped himself hard across the face and cursed, "Serves you right for being so talkative!"
Li Ze said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"I know you're powerful, but the dangers of the battlefield are far more terrifying than you think. Hundreds of millions of Void Beasts—that's no joke." Zhou Yang himself was getting trypophobia just watching the live stream.
Li Ze remained unmoved. "I'll be careful."
“A powerful Void Beast can send a warship flying with a single blow,” Zhou Yang added, worried that Li Ze might not know its true strength.
Li Ze was surprised, "Is it really that amazing?"
“It’s absolutely true. I’ll send you some videos of Void Beasts fighting in a bit.” Zhou Yang became increasingly worried.
"You need to let us know you're safe once a day," Lan Shuang requested.
Li Ze responded.
Before Zhou Yang and Lan Shuang could say anything more, He Xingjue sent a communication request to Li Ze.
"You can talk to Commander He." With that, Zhou Yang and Lan Shuang considerately ended the communication.
"What's up?" Li Ze asked as soon as the call connected.
He Xingjue choked, feeling utterly dejected. "Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"
“But we just parted ways yesterday.” Li Ze frowned.
He Xingjue, who was already missing Li Ze madly after only being apart for a day, said: "........Something's up."
Li Ze's clear black and white eyes were fixed on He Xingjue, signaling him to continue.
"Based on your achievements in eradicating the pirates in the Death Starfield, I applied for a special privilege for you from the military." He Xingjue paused here, unable to suppress his unease, "This privilege is that your mecha can be equipped with firearms, with a firepower level of up to level eight."
"Really?" Li Ze's eyes lit up, his face filled with ecstasy.
This was the first time He Xingjue had seen him so beaming with joy. He thought to himself that it was worth all the effort he had put in to argue with those people from the military for several hours.
In retrospect, it was all worth it.
There was one thing he didn't mention: if Li Ze used firearms and violated the laws of the Empire, he would bear joint responsibility.
"Thank you, He Xingjue. I'll treat you to dinner next time we meet," Li Ze said earnestly.
He Xingjue raised an eyebrow and took the opportunity to make a request, "Once isn't enough, at least three times."
“No problem.” Li Ze agreed without even thinking.
"The spatial buttons you confiscated from Els and the others should contain a lot of weapons. Find some time to install them on your mechs. Install several, just in case," He Xingjue instructed.
Li Ze nodded. "That's what I was planning to do too."
After ending the communication with He Xingjue, Li Ze began to tinker with his mecha. In addition to Xuan Ying, he also picked two other mechas from the spatial buttons of the leaders, which were no weaker than Xuan Ying in terms of level and performance.
In addition, he selected a batch of firearms, almost all of which were level eight, with only a very few level seven and level six.
