Prologue - Blue Star
Prologue - Blue Star
——StarCraft 4004——
In the vast universe, countless planets, large and small, gleam brilliantly in their own galaxies. Within the orderly Milky Way, a single azure planet, against the backdrop of the other planets, exudes an endless vitality, gentle yet resolute.
At that moment, a massive ship burst through the air, followed by countless smaller vessels, forming a straight line in space. The lead ship bore several alien symbols. Anyone born in the interstellar world would have recognized them as written in the universal language of the stars: "Yuk Fleet."
"Captain! Our fleet has finally stabilized!" A man in a black uniform reported to a bearded middle-aged man. "However, this is a region not listed in the Interstellar Alliance records. Currently, only the blue planet closest to our fleet has been found to show signs of life."
Although called a fleet, this so-called Ok Fleet was nothing more than a pirate group, burning, killing, and looting throughout the universe. They had come to this Milky Way to escape the pursuit of the Alliance Army, but they accidentally entered a dark tunnel that led to an unknown galaxy.
In the interstellar universe, countless dark tunnels of all sizes exist. In the past, when interstellar technology was less advanced, these tunnels were nicknamed "black holes." But 128 years ago, interstellar technology underwent a technological revolution. Feldman, winner of the Nobel Prize in Interstellar Physics, discovered an element. This element, combined with a material that could create a spacecraft hull that could perfectly withstand the ravages of a black hole's storms, allowing ships that enter the tunnels to return intact.
Most of these countless dark tunnels led to desolate star systems, devoid of life or even useful resources. Many nobles lost everything in their attempts to "gamble on tunnels," quickly sparking a "tunnel fever" among the interstellar upper echelons.
Captain Ouk had no idea that, while escaping through a dark tunnel, he'd stumble upon a planet with signs of life! This was even luckier than winning the interstellar lottery!
"Activate the stealth system immediately and notify the first and second ships to land on the land with the least signs of life on this blue planet. Attention! We don't know the technological level of this planet yet, so we must be careful!" After giving the order, Captain Wu Ke paced back and forth in the command room, and his fingers holding the water glass were trembling.
He had a premonition that he, an unknown pirate captain, was about to become rich!
"Captain! We've landed in a desolate, extremely cold place and discovered abundant life! No intelligent species have been found so far!"
"Captain! We are heading towards a continent with dense signs of life!"
"Captain! Oh! Heavens! The intelligent life on this planet is so beautiful! Captain! This is simply a miracle! The intelligent life on this planet is also humanoid!"
Captain Wu Ke suddenly stood up from the command seat, "Photos! Send photos immediately!"
A three-dimensional creature made of light appeared in front of Captain Wu Ke, and Captain Wu Ke was immediately stunned.
If Captain Wu Ke was an Earthling, he would know that this was a girl from China, with long black hair reaching her waist, delicate and beautiful facial features fixed in a playful expression, and those black eyes were so beautiful that Captain Wu Ke thought he saw the most beautiful goddess among the interstellar aristocrats.
"Oh, maybe this planet has legendary nobles, we should..."
"Report to the Captain! After scientific research, it was confirmed that this planet is still in its early stages. These humanoid intelligent creatures that look very similar to interstellar people do not meet the standards of interstellar humans. We can choose to report and develop this planet as a slave star!" The next report from the subordinate immediately dispelled Captain Wuke's idea of retreating.
However, if I report it, it will be like the slave planets I discovered before, with no share of the profits. If I don't report it, secretly capturing a few of them and bringing them back to the star system, and putting them up for auction as high-end pets, it will definitely cause a huge sensation...
Captain Wu Ke's eyes sparkled.
In the year 2000, dozens of young and beautiful men and women mysteriously disappeared in some corner of various countries on Earth. However, compared with the huge population of the Earth, this did not cause any ripples, and it became an unsolved case in police departments everywhere.
Since then, every eight years, someone disappears without a trace on Earth. Just like a drop of water evaporating from the ocean, the ocean never notices...
——Interstellar Year 4026 (2022 AD)——
Amidst the white blanket of the Arctic, a young man trudged forward. This young man possessed both exceptional physical and mental fortitude, undeterred by the icy and snowy terrain, and soon reached his destination. Panting heavily, the young man planted a small red flag beneath his feet.
The young man opened his thermos, rehydrated, and then continued on his way. This was the challenge he had set for himself this holiday. As an outstanding military cadet, he was sure to achieve his goal!
Suddenly, the sky, which had been flawless and pure just moments before, turned dark. The darkness was so thick that the young man could not see anything at all, and he felt as if he had gone blind. Then, a huge explosion sounded overhead, and the young man's ears roared, and he instantly lost consciousness.
At the same time, in a luxurious hall on Mantu Star.
"What did you say?!" The sound of a shattering cup interrupted the lively atmosphere. Captain Ouk, already an old man, ignored the terrified looks of those around him and roared angrily at his subordinates, "There was an unknown explosion in the Blue Star Tunnel? Why don't you send someone to check it out! Quick!"
The subordinate trembled and almost knelt down before Captain Wu Ke. "Captain, we've already sent people. The Blue Star Tunnel has changed its transmission direction because of the explosion... I, we may never be able to go to Blue Star again..."
Before his subordinate could finish his words, Captain Wu Ke's vision went dark, and he almost fainted. Without Blue Star, they would no longer have a supply of Blue Beasts! Was this the end of all the wealth and status they had worked so hard to accumulate thanks to the Blue Beasts?
The people in the hall also heard this shocking news and immediately became noisy.
"Oh my god, did you hear that? There will be no more blue beasts! My family is trying hard to buy a blue beast this year!"
"Come on! Even though your family is the royal family of a small planet, you can't afford it even if you break the bank."
"From now on, there will only be four blue beasts in the StarCraft. Alas, I can only raise them online on the StarCraft website."
"Not only that, the remaining ones are all male blue beasts. Last year, the blue beast of Caesar, the emperor of Wenxing, died! That was the only female blue beast! Sigh..."
"It's over..."
Listening to the people's discussions, Captain Wuke, who had finally been revived by emergency treatment, almost fainted from anger again. Fortunately, this time his subordinates brought him good news.
"Captain, we found a severely injured male blue beast near the entrance of the Blue Star Tunnel! He's still a teenager! We're trying to rescue him!"
Hope flashed in Captain Yuk's eyes again, and he said fiercely, "Save! No matter the cost, this blue beast must be kept intact!"
After saying this, Captain Wu Ke clenched his fists.
This is the last ownerless blue beast in the entire galaxy, and he must use it to gain the highest profit!
