In the vast and lonely universe.
Five planets of different colors are slowly rotating around the central sun in this dark space.
This magnificent, elegant, and aesthetically pleasing scene was something no one would have imagined...
These five planets were forcibly transferred here by the Seventh Universe System.
At this moment, among the five planets, next to the red planet that resembles a tomato.
A giant spaceship bearing the Chinese flag, entirely black, radiating a chilling, eerie light.
It hovers outside the atmosphere of the red planet, coldly confronting the tomato.
Compared to the immense size of the red planet, this spaceship was like a speck of dust floating next to a tomato, appearing small and helpless.
Inside the spaceship's captain's cabin, a young man in a blue and white fitted military uniform with two stars and a stripe on his shoulder, with a stern face and resolute eyes, stood.
Just like a pine tree standing straight at the porthole, it calmly gazes at the red planet, its eyes filled with contemplation.
Suddenly, a female soldier, also dressed in a blue and white military uniform and looking very dashing, strode into the captain's cabin.
Upon approaching the young man, the female soldier saluted and then quickly reported:
"Reporting to Lieutenant Leng, the Special Security Bureau's orders have been issued."
"Let's send drones to explore Red Star without waiting for spacecraft from the United States and Russia."
"However, we are not allowed to send crew members to accompany the exploration for the time being. All actions must prioritize the safety of personnel."
Upon hearing this, the young man turned to his female assistant, nodded, and then gave the instructions:
"Okay, pass the notification down."
"Activate Firefly Explorers 1 through 5 to attempt to enter the atmosphere of Red Star."
Watching his female assistant leave the captain's cabin, the young man turned his head again and looked at the slowly rotating red star.
"Now, let's see what alien civilizations really look like."

Blue Star Official Live Broadcast Room.
Jinghai City Live Broadcast Room.
The chat in the live stream was filled with comments following Li Qingyu's outrageous antics.
They gradually went astray, losing the initial momentum of shared hatred against a common enemy.
Victory is certain!
"Victory is certain!!"
"What is 'Bi...pen Tang'?"
"Pronounce it 'peng'? Victory is assured!!!"
"Victory is certain! ~Pop Candy?"
"Pop candy?"
"Spitting...phlegm?!"
Seeing the comments getting increasingly outrageous, Miss Orange, who had just made a slip of the tongue, quickly spoke up to explain.
"Pontang is caramel biscuits."
"This is a little game that was popular in Han City a while ago, where you cut out images from caramel cookies. The caramel cookies are usually packaged in these kinds of boxes."
"Hmm...it's a very simple little game..."
It sounds simple, but Miss Orange wouldn't say that she played with it all night, wasting more than a dozen boxes of cookies, and still couldn't cut out a single complete pattern.
"If you have time... you can look it up yourself..."
"Of course, the above is just my personal speculation."
"Once contestant Li Qingyu opens the box, everyone will know what's inside!~"
.........................
[The Mischievous Cookie Box]
[Rank: B]
This is a magical cookie box; every day, a freshly baked caramel cookie will appear inside.
Each caramel cookie comes with a different pattern engraved on its surface. You can try using the needle provided in the box to pry out the pattern from the cookie.
Consuming the complete pattern will grant a small, random buff.
[If the pattern is destroyed or the cookie is eaten, a small, random penalty will be incurred.]
[Guess... is it a circle, a triangle, or... the Qingming Scroll?]
Well....
Li Qingyu stared speechlessly at the box's attributes.
The item level has indeed been upgraded, skipping C and jumping straight to B from D.
Just as Li Qingyu had predicted, Crimson Evolution would not cause the item level to decrease.
But... what's the point of this thing? Does it mean I have to pry open a cookie to give myself a buff before every battle? That's ridiculous...
After looking at the items on his right hand, Li Qingyu looked at his left hand.
Premium Orange Soda
[Grade: C]
Orange-flavored soda can quickly restore physical strength and heal injuries.
Want to know... what lies beyond masterpieces?
Hmm... I don't really want to know...
However, it must be said that this evolution is very much in line with Li Qingyu's ideal state of evolution.
Originally, orange soda could only restore physical strength, but it has now become a premium orange soda that can restore both physical strength and injuries.
Now that's what evolution is all about...
Even after evolving, soda is still soda; its function remains basically the same, and it's even stronger!
Your box of fried rice turned into a box of candy... that's a total rip-off... you've really lost out...
What a waste of perfectly good golden fried rice! We didn't even get a single bite.
With a hint of regret, Li Qingyu placed the premium orange soda on the coffee table, thinking that it was best not to waste it unless someone was injured.
Then, Li Qingyu examined the mischievous cookie box. After looking at it for a while, he twisted it open with force.
Immediately afterwards, a dog's head came into view.
That's right... a dog's head pattern, similar to a husky's, is imprinted on the golden-brown surface of the cookie...
This is... supposed to be pried out?!
Li Qingyu picked up the thin steel needle from the box, gestured at the dog's head a couple of times, and his eyes twitched.
Damn... what the hell is this? How am I supposed to pry it open? I have no idea where to even begin...
Li Qingyu smacked his lips.
He casually tossed the steel needle aside, slammed the lid back on, and tossed the cookie box onto the coffee table. Then, Li Qingyu got up with a sigh and headed back to the kitchen.
There was nothing he could do... He had just ruined his lunch, and the golden fried rice hadn't evolved into something like spicy hot pot, skewers, or roast chicken, leaving Li Qingyu greatly disappointed.
The husky, who was initially excited, became dejected and followed Li Qingyu's legs after seeing that the fried rice had been ruined by him.
After a simple and familiar meal of Sanchang rice, Li Qingyu, feeling satisfied, took his husky to the rooftop of Pineapple Castle.
Li Qingyu looked up at the sky. At this moment, the light from the two suns of Saha Star was almost tangible, making the rice fields shimmer. Li Qingyu could even clearly feel the temperature in the air still slowly rising.
Li Qingyu frowned. If this continued... let alone a ten-day recovery period, those contestants outside probably wouldn't even last two days.
