At this moment, as the light faded, the demon bug collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud. Most of the scales on its body were cracked, and it was covered in blood from head to toe, evidently severely injured.
"Looks like it's done!"
Lu Xiaobai recalled the characteristics of the demon bug and confirmed that the opponent had no life-saving means left before piloting his aircraft to actively approach the battlefield.
Seeing this, Liu Yuanlei quickly called out to the people from the Security Bureau to follow.
Soon, the crowd saw the battlefield full of ruins, secretly marveling at the terrifying strength of Ah Da in their hearts.
Right then, Lu Xiaobai saw the demon bug groaning on the ground. He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and hurried over.
"Be careful, Young Master Lu."
A member of the Security Bureau quickly stepped forward holding a pair of handcuffs, preparing to lock up the demon bug.
"Let me do it."
Lu Xiaobai hastily stopped him, intending to handcuff it himself.
He hadn't received the notification that his mission was complete yet, so he couldn't let someone else do this...
Hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment, but seeing the mayor nod, he handed the handcuffs over.
Lu Xiaobai took the handcuffs and approached the demon bug, his eyes showing no sign of curiosity.
The laboratory on the main planet of the Lu family held many star bugs. The purpose was to study their blood to create new potions, so he had naturally seen many of them since childhood.
"Originally, based on your strength, you could have run rampant on the ancestral planet. Unfortunately, you ran into a genius like Brother Lu. I can only say your luck is bad."
Lu Xiaobai chuckled and used the handcuffs to completely restrain it.
These were no ordinary handcuffs, but were made of special materials that could seal the star energy within the star bug race, rendering them completely powerless to resist.
Right then, lines of text that others couldn't see appeared before his eyes:
[Two-Star Mission: Capture the Intermediate Star Martial Artist criminal has been completed]
[Reward obtained: Starry Sky Points * 2]
"Hehe!"
Lu Xiaobai's face was full of smiles, and his mood instantly brightened.
Although Ah Da's energy was almost depleted, getting two Starry Sky Points meant a mere million Alliance Coins was nothing...
"Uncle Liu, I'll leave the rest to you."
Just as Lu Xiaobai was about to leave, his expression shifted slightly, and he looked towards the horizon.
The others also noticed something and turned their gazes over.
A dark shadow appeared in the sky, constantly growing larger in everyone's vision, clearly approaching at extreme speed!
In the blink of an eye, a small warship tore through the air and appeared before everyone's eyes.
"It's actually an A-class warship!"
"To think our Starlight City has a warship of this level!"
The crowd around was shaken, crying out in exclamation, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"What's so surprising?"
Yu Wei was a bit dissatisfied and muttered:
"My Brother Lu also has an A-class aircraft!"
"..."
Lu Xiaobai nudged him and explained:
"They aren't the same type. This thing is more than ten times more expensive than mine!"
"Ah? No way?"
Yu Wei's mouth fell open, momentarily stunned.
"My Flame Aircraft doesn't belong to combat technology. It's just a means of transportation for getting around and isn't equipped with any technological weapons. It's like the difference between an ancient supercar and a tank..."
Nowadays, human technology was graded by ABCD, corresponding respectively to Advanced, Intermediate, Primary, and Trainee Star Martial Artists.
For example, Ah Da was an A-class robot that could deal with Advanced Star Martial Artists, while the C-class laser gun he took out earlier could deal with Primary Star Martial Artists below level 30.
Although his Flame Aircraft was A-class, it was different from the grading of combat technology and possessed no combat power. The reason it was so expensive was simply that it looked cool...
"Is that so?"
Yu Wei immediately understood and muttered to himself:
"In that case, isn't this thing even more expensive than Ah Da?"
"Of course."
Lu Xiaobai nodded and smiled:
"The cost of a warship is too high, it's not something Ah Da can compare to. Naturally, being expensive has its benefits. Besides being able to deal with Advanced Star Martial Artists, this thing can also navigate through the starry sky."
Hearing this, Yu Wei's expression jolted, and his eyes instantly filled with yearning.
Right then,
A man wearing dark golden clothes walked out of the warship.
He stood suspended in the air, his gaze majestic, exuding an extremely powerful aura.
"It's the Star Suppression Army!"
The crowd instantly cried out upon seeing the dark golden uniform, respect rising in their eyes.
"Hm? The star bug race has been subdued?!"
The man's gaze focused, and he instantly saw the paralyzed demon bug on the ground, his face inevitably filled with astonishment.
To think someone in this small city could take care of a level 50 demon bug?!
"Who is the mayor?"
"I am the mayor of Starlight City, Liu Yuanlei."
Liu Yuanlei stepped forward with respect in his eyes.
The Star Suppression Army did not need to take orders from any local federal government. Even the star lords of the planets couldn't order them around, so their status was naturally extremely transcendent.
The man frowned slightly and said:
"You took care of the demon bug? That's not right... You're only an Intermediate Star Martial Artist."
"Ahem..."
Liu Yuanlei coughed lightly, a touch of embarrassment in his eyes.
"I did it."
Lu Xiaobai walked out with a smile on his face.
"You?"
The man's expression shifted, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body as he said:
"Kid, you're just a Trainee Star Martial Artist below level 10. You killed the demon bug, are you messing with me?"
Lu Xiaobai remained calm, his expression unchanged in the face of the other party's aura.
After all, he had seen too many powerhouses. Although the man before him wasn't bad, he might not even be able to defeat Ah Da in an overloaded state...
"Hm? Who are you?"
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, the man retracted his aura, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lu Xiaobai replied neither haughtily nor humbly:
"The Lu family, Lu Xiaobai. My father is the Human Speaker, Lu Xingtian!"
With just a simple sentence, he laid out his entire identity and background...
Hearing this, the man's expression trembled slightly. The indifference on his face vanished, softening significantly, and even showing a bit of respect.
Of course, his respect wasn't for Lu Xiaobai, but for the countless ancestors of the Lu family who had made contributions to humanity.
Any top-tier human faction possessed supreme status and enjoyed vast resources that others could hardly imagine, but no one could deny that this was won through the bloody battles of their ancestors...
"To think you're a direct descendant of the Lu family. But you can kill a demon bug across so many levels?"
A hint of bewilderment couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
Was he falling behind the times?
Have human geniuses really developed to this extent?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
