"Well, I can't do that right now..."
Lu Xiaobai rubbed his nose.
Although he wanted to brag, the level gap between him and the demon bug was over forty levels. No matter how monstrous a genius he was, he couldn't deal with it...
He just pointed at Ah Da not far away.
"Huh?"
The man's expression changed slightly, and he looked Ah Da up and down.
Because Ah Da's energy was almost depleted and it wasn't in combat mode, naturally, it didn't display any formidable traits.
However, upon closer inspection, the man quickly recognized it as an A-class combat robot, and a specially customized model at that!
"No wonder..."
The man understood. A smile appeared on his face as he said seriously:
"Direct descendant of the Lu family, thanks to your help this time. On behalf of the Star Suppression Army, I, Xie Feng, thank you!"
He had been quite a distance from Starlight City. Even traveling by warship took a considerable amount of time. If not for Lu Xiaobai, Starlight City would have undoubtedly faced a catastrophe. Naturally, he felt grateful.
Lu Xiaobai waved his hand and said modestly:
"Uncle Xie, you're too kind. It's what we Star Martial Artists should do."
Hearing this, Xie Feng's smile deepened, and he said with full admiration:
"Truly worthy of being from the Lu family!"
Lu Xiaobai smiled and then changed the subject:
"Uncle Xie, although this demon bug has been dealt with, the crisis isn't over. Logically, the Star Bug race wouldn't act alone. I'm afraid there's more than just one demon bug in Starlight City."
At these words, Liu Yuanlei, who was standing nearby, instantly changed his expression and cursed inwardly:
Why would the Star Bug race sneak into this small city for no reason? They must be out of their minds...
"Exactly."
Xie Feng nodded and muttered to himself:
"This Ancestral Planet is desolate; the Star Bug race shouldn't be here. They probably have some special purpose. It seems we need to conduct a major sweep recently."
Thinking of this, he seemed somewhat impatient, with a faint killing intent permeating his eyes.
He had no desire to stay any longer. He slightly clenched his right hand in the air, and the subdued demon bug not far away floated up.
"Since the matter is resolved, I'll be leaving."
Xie Feng glanced at Lu Xiaobai and said with a smile:
"As for your reward, our Star Suppression Army will discuss it and have the city's Federal Government hand it over to you later!"
Now that it was no longer just about simple criminals but involved the Star Bug race, it naturally fell entirely under the jurisdiction of the Star Suppression Army.
Lu Xiaobai said politely:
"Sorry for the trouble, Uncle Xie."
"It's what you deserve."
Just as Xie Feng was about to leave, he remembered something and handed him a business card, saying:
"Here is my contact information. Although given your status, nothing should happen, if you ever run into real trouble, you can come to me. Consider it a personal reward from me, Xie Feng."
He was worried that because of this demon bug, the Star Bug race lurking on the Ancestral Planet might seek revenge against him...
Lu Xiaobai smiled and said:
"Thank you, Uncle Xie!"
"Why does that sound so weird..."
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow, then waved his hand and boarded the warship with the corpse of the demon bug.
"Another small gain..."
Lu Xiaobai held the business card and saved the number on it into his chip watch.
Although his contact list was full of Lu family elders, basically none of them were on the Ancestral Planet. If real trouble arose, they naturally wouldn't arrive as quickly as Xie Feng.
Besides, who would ever complain about having too many backers...
"Uncle Liu, I'm heading out too."
Lu Xiaobai looked at Liu Yuanlei and said with a smile:
"I'll leave the cleanup of this scene to you guys."
"No problem."
Liu Yuanlei said casually.
Although it looked like many buildings had been destroyed, it actually wouldn't cost much money. After all, these jobs were now done by robots.
In this era, expensive things were no longer houses or cars, but the various resources used by Star Martial Artists.
"Monkey, I'm heading out first."
Lu Xiaobai called out a greeting, took Ah Da with him, and boarded a flying vehicle, quickly leaving the area.
Yu Wei's house was nearby, so he could just walk back later. There was no need to drop him off.
"Another two Starry Sky Points..."
Lu Xiaobai sat in the flying vehicle, calculating secretly in his mind.
A moment later,
He added them to the Lu Family Body Refining Method, successfully upgrading it to Lv4. This was a level that countless collateral Lu family members needed years or even over a decade of accumulation to reach.
If his old man knew about this, he would probably jump straight up on the spot...
After all, it had only been a week since he obtained the Lu Family Body Refining Method, and he had directly made a triple jump. This speed was simply too terrifying!
One must know, this wasn't some Basic Body Refining Method, but a top-tier body refining method for humanity. How could it be so easy to upgrade?
"I won't tell my old man for now. I'll find a suitable time to show off later..."
Lu Xiaobai chuckled and muttered to himself:
"I wonder what the effects of a level four Lu Family Body Refining Method are."
He felt expectant in his heart, but he would only find out after doing two body refining cycles tomorrow.
Meanwhile,
In the vast starry sky, there was an uninhabited, abandoned small planet.
In the human star domain, there were countless planets like this. Even humanity couldn't possibly catalog them all, as such planets held absolutely no value.
However, precisely because these abandoned planets were ignored, they became temporary residences for countless criminals.
And on this particular abandoned planet, the Fortune Star Pirates were temporarily residing.
A steel castle stood tall here. Sandstorms swept all around it, but they couldn't make it budge even an inch!
This was a mobile residence developed by humans. It could be folded up and stored at any time, equivalent to a tent from the old days. It could be called an essential item for starry sky exploration!
Of course, this thing was expensive to build and required recharging, so it couldn't be used as a permanent residence.
At this moment,
Inside the castle, the temperature was pleasant, and clusters of vibrant flowers and plants were growing. It was like a paradise, completely unaffected by the minus one hundred-plus degrees outside.
Dozens of people were sitting in the spacious hall, each holding a cup of coffee in their hands, looking extremely relaxed.
Their eyes were all fixed on the virtual screen in front of them, which displayed a heavily injured demon bug. It was clearly the scene from the Ancestral Planet not long ago!
"Zhao Li was actually controlled by the Star Bug race!"
A kind-looking fat man frowned, then cast a meaningful glance at the others.
"Boss, don't look at us like that. None of us have been parasitized by the Star Bug race."
"Yeah, I reckon Zhao Li was parasitized on the Ancestral Planet. None of us have ever been there."
The crowd hurriedly explained.
Although they were a pirate crew, they didn't want to be involved with the Star Bugs. After all, that would earn them the infamous reputation of betraying humanity.
Of course, their original reputation wasn't much better anyway...
