In the vast starry sky, a small spaceship is sailing steadily.
The spacecraft is silver-white in color, with a beautiful and unique shape. From the hull paint to the body material, all are of the highest-end configuration. On the side of the hull, there is a light gold snowflake pattern spray-painted, which looks very much like the totem logo of an ancient family.
At this time, Ke Jin was sitting in a room in the spaceship, taking a cup of steaming black tea from Eggers.
"This is the most famous Halls black tea in our empire galaxy." Eggers said with some pride, "Xiao Ke, try it. It is definitely better than any other you have tasted in the Federation galaxy."
"Thanks."
Ke Jin took a sip and it tasted really good. He closed his eyes comfortably, feeling the sweet and mellow tea aroma spreading between his lips and teeth. All the fatigue in his body seemed to be swept away.
Although he was now leaning comfortably on a recliner, seemingly relaxed and at ease, the journey of the previous few days made him twitch his lips when he recalled it.
Momo once told him that it would not be easy for the chosen ones who entered Mobis City to come out again, as there would always be various unknown forces preventing them from leaving - unless they were extremely lucky, they could get rid of that mysterious resistance.
Ke Jin didn't take these words to heart at first. He didn't expect that after he had done all the aftermath, when Major General Leng Yan sent people to escort them away from Mobis, he really encountered all kinds of strange twists and turns -
First, the spacecraft broke down halfway through its journey and had to make an emergency landing on a marginal planet;
After finally repairing the spacecraft, it was discovered that it was running low on fuel not long after takeoff, so it had to make another emergency landing.
After finally filling up the fuel and ensuring that the spacecraft would be safe, they set off again, but soon encountered an interstellar storm. If it weren't for the experienced military pilots who seized the opportunity to initiate a space jump in the chaos, perhaps everyone on the spacecraft would have died in the storm.
What was ridiculous was that this time, due to the influence of the interstellar storm, they deviated from the predetermined coordinates and jumped directly back to the thirteenth galaxy...
Therefore, the group had no choice but to fly again. Although no major accidents occurred, there were still minor setbacks along the way. The original two-day journey took them half a month before they finally reached the airport on the border star field of the two major galaxies.
Eggers, who had received the news a long time ago and was waiting in the airport, had been waiting anxiously for more than half a month. He was almost exhausted. When he saw Ke Jin and Oloy finally show up, he was so excited and aggrieved that he almost cried.
The military personnel returned quickly, and Ke Jin and his team boarded Eggers's private spaceship and officially entered the route to the Imperial Galaxy. However, this journey was not smooth. There were constant problems on the preset route, and they had to take many detours and advance in a circuitous way, approaching the target planet little by little with difficulty.
And just yesterday, Oloy's communicator suddenly received several messages. He had a few private conversations with Eggers and got off the spacecraft early on a small transit planet that day.
"Oloy has something urgent to deal with, you don't have to worry." Eggers explained to Ke Jin.
Eggers didn't elaborate on what happened. It involved privacy, so Ke Jin didn't want to ask more. However, he subconsciously classified this episode as "twists and turns on the journey" - even a "lucky guy" like Orloy was affected. It seems that what Momo said about the "Mobis City Curse" really makes some sense...
Perhaps it was because they were already going deeper and deeper into the Imperial Galaxy. After Orloy left, their voyage was no longer hindered. The only problem was that the nearby interstellar space was not stable enough, and they could not use interstellar jumps frequently. They could only ride the spaceship and sail normally.
The next task of the system would start in a month, which was still plenty of time and Ke Jin could afford to wait, so he calmed down and enjoyed this last short leg of the journey while starting to learn about the relevant information of the Empire Galaxy card pool industry in advance.
***
Ke Jin had heard from Gu Qianqian a long time ago that the card pool industry in the Empire Galaxy was very developed, far beyond the reach of a small place like Azure Star. After logging into the interstellar network of the Empire Galaxy, he browsed for a whole day and finally had a preliminary idea of the situation of the local card pool industry in his mind.
The prosperity of the Empire Galaxy card pool industry is not only due to the massive investment of private capital, but also the strong support of the government. They have special newspapers, websites, journals, programs, and many card users have even stepped onto the stage and are well-known like stars, and even worshipped by fans.
Like any booming industry, the emergence of high-quality card pools is backed by fierce competition among peers. The official has established an authoritative review agency that regularly ranks and rates card pools and card users in various regions. The most authoritative list is the card pool list of the Imperial Capital, the capital of the capital star of the Empire Galaxy.
The list is updated on a weekly basis, and only the top 100 in the interstellar rankings are established in each issue. Tens of thousands of card users in the Imperial Galaxy are proud to be on the "Hundred Emperors List" of the Imperial Capital. Even if they cannot be on the list, it is a supreme honor to receive positive comments from the review agency in the card pool evaluation attached to each issue of the list.
Ke Jin's destination is the capital of the capital star of the empire galaxy. It is said that most of the card pools on the "Hundred Emperors List" are gathered here. Although Ke Jin is no longer a newcomer, if his card pool does not have any characteristics and selling points, he will soon be squeezed to the bottom and eventually go bankrupt due to lack of customers.
Thinking of the upcoming fierce competition, Ke Jin couldn't help feeling a little nervous and uneasy, but at the same time he was also eager to try.
After all, he had been through nearly two years of training, and was very familiar with his card pool, and had a certain degree of confidence in the quality of the cards. Not to mention that Eggers and Oloy were also traveling with him, even if he was alone, he would have to come to the Empire Galaxy to train sooner or later.
He is the one who wants to open card pools all over the universe. If he doesn't even dare to face this challenge, how can he have the nerve to continue shouting such slogans?

The capital star of the imperial galaxy, the center of the imperial city.
When talking about the Imperial Capital, half of the people first think of the magnificent royal palace complex standing in the north of the city, while the other half first think of the most prosperous commercial district in the center of the Imperial Capital, the card pool gathering area known as the "Glory of the Galaxy".
"The Brilliance of the Galaxy" refers to the fact that the card pools here are extremely densely distributed, as numerous as stars; it also means that most of the king card pools on the "Hundred Emperors List" are gathered here, and each of them is as brilliant and eye-catching as a bright star.
Today, this most prosperous area of the imperial capital is still busy with traffic and crowded with people.
The big screen in the center of the square plays exquisite promotional videos produced at great expense by various card pools. The shapes and signs outside the card pool courtyards are also vying with each other for beauty, some are dignified and grand, while others are novel and unique, doing their best to attract the attention of passers-by.
Most of the card pools are completely packed with people. Loyal fans of the card pools line up outside early in the morning. If new cards are released, there will be people waiting in the middle of the night, some even bringing cheering signs and banners. If you don't know, you might think a superstar is there.
There is vigorous vitality and vigor everywhere here.
However, beneath the prosperity lies competition and pressure that ordinary people can hardly imagine. No matter how dazzling and popular these card pools are at the moment, once their performance declines and their popularity drops, they will soon be cleared out and have to move out of "Glorious Galaxy", and new stars will quickly take their place.
The replacement of the old with the new is not uncommon in this commercial district, but there has never been a card pool that has attracted the close attention and discussion of hundreds of card users of "Glorious Stars" at the same time, as in recent days.
It was a street-side card pool located in the center of the commercial street. Its original owner left the capital for personal reasons and returned to his hometown on another planet. All the land in the capital belonged to the royal family, and the card users only had the right to lease it, not the right to purchase it. This empty card pool was located in the best location in the central area. Although the rental fee was very expensive, many card users applied for the lease immediately, hoping to occupy this advantageous location and take the customer flow of their card pool to a higher level.
But their rental request was quickly rejected by the block manager because someone had already made a reservation and paid the deposit.
Who is it?
It's so quick to act!
Someone secretly inquired and got the news that the lessee was not a local cardholder of the imperial capital, but an outsider.
Outsider? Could it be a newcomer on the list?
But after looking through all the major lists, no rookie card user who matched the number was found. Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued. Everyone was secretly paying attention to the movements here, and couldn't wait to know who this mysterious card user was.
One day, two days, nothing happened.
Three days, four days, the card pool was still empty, no one was seen.
After five days and six days, even the guests began to become curious and asked the card users about the new owner of the card pool.
Seven days, eight days…………
Is this person coming or not?
The rent for this block is paid on a daily basis. Although the card users who can settle in "Glorious Stars" are all wealthy, a newcomer from another place is just wasting money without opening a pool. Don't tell me what I think, these local tycoons are very painful to see...
As a result, the wait lasted nearly a month.
One month...one month!
Best location! Most expensive rent! Closed! Closed! No show!
After being shocked, everyone was convinced and numb. Just when everyone had withdrawn their gazes and stopped asking questions and paying attention, one day without any signs, the Kachi Courtyard, which had been idle for a long time, suddenly opened its door.
——The mysterious "new master" finally appeared.
