Chapter 42 Means
I have a special solution.
"Mr. Kong Ming means to solve the problem directly from the root..."
Before Xu Wen could finish his words, Qin Shu immediately responded, "The root cause, huh? I understand."
"I'm not asking you to destroy this planet directly." Xu Wen was afraid that Qin Shu would misinterpret his meaning and do something earth-shattering.
Qin Shu hesitated for two seconds before replying, "I know."
“…But you just hesitated.”
Qin Shu changed the subject immediately after hearing this: "Let me first check if my [Heroic Spirit Recruitment] system has been restored. There was an error during the previous upgrade."
"Upgraded?" As expected, Xu Wen immediately forgot about the previous things and became concerned about the system.
"Well, I don't know the details yet. I'll contact you once I confirm."
"good."
After Qin Shu hung up the terminal, she quickly ate a mouthful of rice, and then opened her [Heroic Spirit Recruitment] system to check.
Fortunately, the upgrade was complete, but the gray module hadn't unlocked as Qin Shu had expected. It remained gray. The only change was her level jumping from 1 to 2. After reaching level 2, she unexpectedly gained an additional ability: [Instantly teleport to the side of the Heroic Spirit she summoned, usable once a day.]
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then she took out her terminal and looked at the time on it, and suddenly a plan came to her mind.
She canceled the previous recruitment during the system upgrade and directly posted a new bounty.
Then he called Xu Wen and asked, "Are you on Radiation Star?"
"right."
"Are you with Xiao Man, Yun Shangjun, and Mr. Kong Ming now?"
"I'm with Mr. Kong Ming, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'll come over later and tell you the details when I get there."
"Then I'll arrange someone to pick you up?" Xu Wen didn't ask any more questions and directly arranged an itinerary for Qin Shu.
"No, I can figure it out myself. See you later."
"Huh?" Xu Wen was a little suspicious whether he had heard it wrong. You know, the starship to Radiation Star will only arrive if arranged by the Federation, but Qin Shu had already hung up the communication.
She finished her meal in no time, went back to her room to change her clothes, and then knocked on Lu Yishen's door.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yishen opened the door quickly. He must have just taken a shower. The ends of his hair were still a little wet, and there was a pleasant fragrance on his body. He changed his shirt and trousers, which had just been appropriate, into a simple T-shirt and gray casual trousers. The whole person instantly softened a little.
"You can't take a bath after applying the medicated oil." Qin Shu frowned slightly when she saw this.
"Those places didn't touch the water." Lu Yishen quickly explained after hearing this.
"Okay, be good." Qin Shu responded as if coaxing a child.
Lu Yishen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, but he quickly pursed his lips, then coughed lightly and asked, "By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, I have to go out for a while. Remember to go to the hospital by yourself when you get up in the morning."
"Now?"
"Um."
"Where are you going? Should I drive you?"
"It's okay, no need to make so much trouble. You just finished filming and came back from such a long distance. Go to bed early tonight." Qin Shu said as she pushed Lu Yishen back into the door, made a goodbye gesture, and closed the door.
Then she used the teleportation function in the [Heroic Spirit Recruitment] system and teleported directly to Mr. Kong Ming.
After Lu Yishen reacted, he opened the door to look for Qin Shu, but found that she was gone. Only the robot housekeeper downstairs was cleaning up the dishes that Qin Shu had just eaten.
…
And the other side.
Xu Wenzhen and Mr. Kong Ming were talking in the conference room. The next second, he saw a figure suddenly appear next to Kong Ming. He was so scared that he protected Mr. Kong Ming behind him and subconsciously touched the weapon on his waist.
But Qin Shu saw his movements and pressed his wrist directly: "Don't be nervous, it's me."
"Qin, Qin Shu?" Xu Wen's eyes widened.
"Yes, it's me. The system has been upgraded with a new feature that allows me to teleport once a day to a designated Heroic Spirit."
"This function is pretty good." Xu Wen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, tell me about the situation first. I just got a general understanding from you. The biggest problem shouldn't be with me, right? I'm just a means to attack the Interstellar Federation."
Xu Wen first asked Qin Shu to sit down, and then he used the screen in the conference room to show Qin Shu the current situation.
"Yes, you are very perceptive. Everything happening now has only one goal—to target the Interstellar Federation, to stir up doubts about the Federation, and thus to cause unrest."
"I understand." Qin Shu nodded, and then began to quickly browse the current situation compiled by Xu Wen.
"Now, besides the Copra Empire, many other countries have condemned the Federation, using all sorts of insinuating rhetoric, short of saying that the Federation wants to rid itself of these 'burdens' on Radiant Star, and that's why they're trying to get rid of them this way. Some even say that Radiant Star is in this state because the Federation conducted some secret experiment there, and that they previously supported the remaining people as compensation. But now they feel that the people left behind are useless and a waste of manpower and resources, so they want to get rid of them once and for all."
Qin Shu also saw the statements and reports that Xu Wen mentioned, which were indeed very misleading.
"Has the source of the poison been found?"
Xu Wen didn't say anything, but just glanced at Mr. Kong Ming who was gently waving a feather fan beside him.
"With a little stratagem, everything was discovered."
"What's going on?" Qin Shu was really curious.
"Well, let me explain. Mr. Kong Ming tricked those who were clamoring to take back the old lady's body. He said, 'Can we give up the snake, but not the body?' Then someone asked if the snake was dead. Mr. Kong Ming said the snake was alive and well, and even had it walk around in front of them. And...they actually agreed."
"Didn't they claim before that a big snake had eaten Old Madam Chen and demanded that she be handed over and beaten to death? Now they've changed their minds?" Qin Shu knew there was something fishy as soon as she heard it.
"So what they want is not Old Lady Chen, but the dead Old Lady Chen and the big snake." Mr. Kong Ming nodded.
"What's the meaning?"
"The old lady's return by Dahei was an accident, disrupting their original plan." Xu Wen didn't want to keep anyone on suspense and directly explained the current situation. "Those supplies weren't the ones sent this time. They poisoned the canned meat from the previous batch and secretly replaced them with another batch. They said a mysterious man had found them and cured a deformed child he had brought with him right in front of them. He told them that as long as they were willing to sacrifice some lives, and then make a big deal out of it, insisting that the Federation was out to kill them, he would cure the rest of them, so that they wouldn't have to be deformed and marginalized on this radiation planet and could return to normal human beings."
"Now that Dahei has disrupted their plans, they're afraid we'll discover something, so they're anxious to get the old lady's body back."
"Well, they probably want to deal with Old Lady Chen's body first. Oh, and those canned meats. If Zhou Yin hadn't gone to track down Dahei and brought everything back, they might have wanted to hide these physical evidence as well. To be honest, if so many people died at once, no matter what clues we found, other countries would definitely be able to find a point of attack. By then, it would be difficult to control public opinion. After all, only one person has died..."
"Does everyone who's left behind know about this?"
"As you can see, those who came to cause trouble outside are all elderly people. They want to fight for a future for their children. They said they didn't tell the young people and children at home. As for Old Mrs. Chen, those people thought her moral values were too high and were afraid she would disagree, so they didn't tell her."
"So they said they were speaking up for Old Madam Chen, but it turned out they were the murderers themselves. How ironic." Qin Shu couldn't help but shook her head when she heard that.
"Well, the person who gave the medicine has asked the technical department to process a portrait based on their description. Would you like to see it?" Xu Wen asked.
"Take a look."
Xu Wen just clicked on the screen, and a three-dimensional human figure appeared on the open space in front of him.
The man was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall, but he was very thin, looking like a skinny bamboo pole. He was wearing very tight protective clothing and a portable anti-radiation helmet on his head. His whole body was wrapped tightly. Looking closely, except for his body shape, he hardly revealed any other features.
"Isn't it difficult to investigate?" Qin Shu knew at a glance that this situation would definitely be difficult to investigate.
"Indeed, if we do it alone, it will probably take some time. During this period, public opinion will probably become increasingly unfavorable to the Star Alliance." Xu Wen nodded. He was wrapped so tightly that it was impossible to tell whether he was a human or a ghost.
But Mr. Kong Ming smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, Liang is good at divination."
Xu Wen also smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Kong Ming and Yun Shangjun helped us with divination and narrowed the scope of the search. We have found this person."
"who?"
"The people from the Kopra Empire are probably just pawns. We are still following the clues. I think it won't be difficult to find the real source of the poison and the mastermind behind it." Xu Wen affirmed.
"If we want to find more useful clues quickly, we have to catch them by surprise and make them lose their composure," Mr. Kong Ming added.
Qin Shu understood immediately: "That's why you came to me, right? Don't worry, I promise it will be a surprise."
"Huh? Have you thought of a solution?" Xu Wen suddenly had a bad feeling, because Qin Shu always played by unconventional means.
"Didn't other countries say that our Interstellar Federation wants to get rid of the burdens of Radiation Star? Then wouldn't it be better if we made Radiation Star no longer a Radiation Star?" Qin Shu said as a matter of course.

Thanks to the little fairy [Red Bean and Rose] for the nutrient solution, muah.
