Perhaps Lai Ke's warning really did lead to Xiao Xiao Guo.
Over the next few days, all the merchants became much more obedient.
Of course, Lai Ke knew that these guys wouldn't stay still for long.
As for Jiang Mo, although she knew what these guys were up to, she simply didn't have the time to manage them.
Because what he cared about was the Zerg outside.
Recently, more and more Zerg have been appearing here.
So, after discussion, they decided to give these people some real combat experience.
Four days later, a massive warship took to the air. After passing through the atmosphere and reaching the edge of the protective shield...
The warship's passageway slowly opened. One mech after another appeared there, passing directly through the invisible protective shield without being affected at all.
These mechs can fly in space. They even have anti-gravity devices that allow them to move freely through space.
Most of the people operating the mechs are from the academy.
Facing those black insects.
These people charged towards the Zerg.
Clearly, the Zerg suddenly found human mechs appearing before them, and before they could react, countless ranged attacks surged towards the Zerg swarm.
Half of the Zerg were wiped out in an instant.
Then they saw the Zerg swarm, arranged in a completely haphazard pattern. These mechs charged forward like wolves among sheep.
Those who prefer melee combat engage in close-quarters fighting. As for ranged attacks, they are considered support roles.
It's just that things are completely different in space than on Earth. On the first day, many people will still injure friendly forces.
This happened again the next day, but much less frequently.
The third day. The fourth day. The fifth day. Until the eighth day. Basically, there were no more friendly fire incidents. In fact, the teamwork was quite good.
The Zerg were incredibly frustrated. They watched their comrades being wiped out one by one, without receiving any news of retreat. The remaining Zerg had no choice but to grit their teeth and try to exterminate the humans.
Of course, what these insects didn't know was that, to prevent more insectoids from arriving, Shun Tianchen had already led his men to eliminate the insectoids still on their way. They had even killed an insectoid queen?
They detected an abandoned planet inhabited by a Zerg queen. The group rushed towards it.
'Strike straight into the enemy's lair.'
After the last Zerg swarm surrounding Earth was destroyed, news of Shun Tianchen and his group arrived.
There should be no fewer than 100,000 Zerg settled on this planet. However, the Zerg queen has been eliminated. The remaining Zerg are leaderless. They could be used as training subjects.
After repairing the mechs, the group set off again.
Anyway, this planet isn't far. It won't take more than three hours to get there.
Those still somewhat dishonest businessmen on Earth watched the warships take to the sky, even noticing the mechs aboard. They wondered if these ships were off to exterminate the Zerg, given the clear glimpses of star-like lights flashing across the night sky.
At that moment, a man walked back.
Upon discovering the other party's return, the red-hat merchant frowned. Then he led the other party to his room.
"Why are you back? Have you investigated the matter thoroughly?" the official asked.
"Their defenses were very well concealed. I didn't have many opportunities. Even the guards always moved in groups of at least four. I only managed to hypnotize a servant and learn some things you want to know. He said he was a servant purchased by the young lady of this planet."
The owner of this planet is a man named Sikong Xuan. The young lady he mentioned is Sikong Xuan's only daughter, making her one of the most powerful figures controlling the planet. The products in Lai Ke's possession were made by that young lady. There's even a Dragon Academy on this planet. "At this point, the man paused for a moment."
Upon hearing the name Dragon Academy, the red-hat merchant was also taken aback. "You mean Dragon Academy?"
"Yes, it's the Dragon Academy that won the championship last year. That mysterious academy is right here. Oh, and I also know that many people at the Dragon Academy can craft items. I think those seemingly low-level special items must be the finished products of those students." The man continued, noticing the red-hatted merchant's frown. "Sikong Xuan is already a thousand years old this year. But that young lady has only just come of age a few years. She's young, but very popular. In fact, Sikong Xuan no longer participates in anything; it seems he's focusing on cultivation and enjoying his retirement."
After listening to the other party's words, a calculating glint appeared in the eyes of this powerful businessman.
"What else do you know?"
"I learned from that person that Sikong Mo is Sikong Xuan's daughter. She's very beautiful and doesn't even have a boyfriend. Most importantly, this woman is an all-around genius. I think if we can control this girl, then this planet..."
The other party hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but then stopped. Just make a point.
As expected, the red-hat merchant burst into laughter after hearing this. Then he patted the other person on the shoulder and spoke earnestly, "I think this matter is suitable for you. I believe in your abilities. You're the only one I can trust now. For the sake of our family, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."
"Don't worry, great-grandfather. I will definitely get my hands on that little girl," the man said confidently. He was, in fact, extremely confident in his abilities.
His ability is very special. It belongs to a type of mutated mental power, known as the power of charm. If a woman possessed this ability, she would probably be considered a fox spirit. But since a man possesses such an ability, it's hard to know what to call him.
Of course, in the eyes of others, his ability should be considered a form of hypnosis. Unfortunately, he has to hide it. In the eyes of others, the youngest successor of the powerful businessman Zack is a useless good-for-nothing. Yet, this very good-for-nothing can help him accomplish many things that are impossible for him.
Zari's abilities are impressive, but he can only control one person at a time. Therefore, he needs to be extremely careful in completing each task. This particular task is undoubtedly the most difficult. However, Zari is confident. He's confident in his appearance—a handsome face. After all, his mother was a once-famous star. But what he's currently more concerned with is how to get close to Sikong Mo. This is arguably the most difficult part.
He waited for many days. Finally, he got his chance.
The warships slowly descending from the sky signified that those who had been away for many days had finally returned.
I watched from afar as the woman, surrounded by admirers, personally greeted everyone.
He had to admit that the woman was more beautiful than he had imagined. Even his own mother, in her youth, would have paled in comparison.
