Hearing Qin Guan's words, Ye Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of goodwill towards him. He had openly shared his strength, and the result was almost identical to what Jin Shan had analyzed. This clearly indicated that Qin Guan had not concealed much from Ye Yu.
At this thought, Ye Yu felt a slight flush on his face, especially when he heard the other party praise him as a talent; it made him feel somewhat guilty.
"I can't claim such a title. I have someone guiding me, and I've just broken through to the Third Stage of physical training," Ye Yu recalled Huang Laowai's situation. It had been some time since they last met, and he wondered how they were doing now.
"No need to be modest, Brother Ye. I once infiltrated a border planet of the Blue Seal Empire and lived there for a while. I know that someone your age who has reached the Third Stage in physical training would typically be admitted directly into their First Military Academy! That academy is the most sought-after military institution by the Blue Marked People; entering there means you are already on the threshold of success!" Qin Guan reminisced about his experiences from years ago, a hint of nostalgia crossing his face.
"This is the Federation, and that academy is just training war machines. I don't like war!" Ye Yu recalled his mother's opinions about that military academy and smiled wryly.
Yet, life was unpredictable. Although he disliked war, he had ultimately survived thanks to the power of the Zhou family in the military and had become a special forces soldier.
"What a waste of talent; it's simply unreasonable!" Qin Guan feigned a look of despair, expressing his "complaint" about Ye Yu's attitude.
Ye Yu looked at Qin Guan and shrugged. He understood that Qin Guan was trying to lighten the mood; the battle was about to begin, and they needed to face it with the best mindset.
"Those people are hiding within the influence of the Amethyst Society. If we act there, will it provoke their displeasure?" Ye Yu asked seriously as he looked at Qin Guan, shifting the topic directly.
Although Long Yin Yue had informed them that the Silver Dragon Guard had arrangements within the Amethyst Society's territory, as they approached Withered Source Star, he still felt a sense of unease.
"They're acting together in a group of five. It won't be easy for us to take them all down. However, they are Blue Marked People and won't remain in Federation territory forever. Moreover, according to intelligence, they are graduates of the Blue Seal Imperial Military Academy here in the Federation to complete their graduation trial, which involves killing a Federation officer!
Finding a Federation officer on Withered Source Star is naturally quite difficult; even if there are some around, they won't be ordinary individuals. It won't be easy for these five to accomplish their mission. As for the Amethyst Society, although they claim to be the dominant force on Withered Source Star, any major power has its own concerns. As long as we can quietly resolve our troubles without drawing attention, they won't be able to do anything about us."
In recent years, although it had been suppressed, the foundation of the Silver Dragon Star was not something that could be compared to the so-called top power of a single place. The existence of the Amethyst Society represented more the attitude of certain influential figures towards the Silver Dragon Star.
Qin Guan's tone was slightly mocking as he spoke. As a Star Wanderer who had long lived in the Northern District, he had naturally seen enough of the sordid dealings between these interest groups.
Ye Yu nodded at Qin Guan's analysis, and the image of the Short Woman surfaced in his mind. Their first encounter had nearly ended with him being killed by her, which was certainly an unpleasant experience.
The five people present were likely companions or even classmates of that Short Woman, making their familiarity uncertain. With this thought, Ye Yu felt a bit strange. Although he had now joined the Silver Dragon Star, he still couldn't harbor the same hatred towards the Blue Marked People as an ordinary Federation citizen would.
At this moment, Withered Source Star was operating at its closest position to Silver Dragon Star, with its northern side directly exposed to the star's rays. The Cargo Ship they were on was heading towards the shadowed side of Withered Source Star, where the cosmic environment was naturally much better than on the sunlit side. During this time period, most ships preferred to dock in the shade.
The Cargo Ship clearly wasn't visiting for the first time; it smoothly found its docking area. Withered Source Star lacked an atmospheric shield, and its surface was a chaotic mix of black and red rocks. Such terrain was uninhabitable, and most people lived in the Underworld, situated fifty to three hundred meters above ground.
Once their ship had docked, Ye Yu and his companions directly entered an underground entrance that had already been arranged for them; no one questioned their identities.
The tunnel leading to the Underworld was incredibly vast, over thirty meters wide and nearly forty meters high—large enough to accommodate a spaceship's entry and exit! However, according to Qin Guan's standards, this tunnel was still considered small; there were larger ones several kilometers wide that could accommodate regular starships.
Nature is indeed marvelous, but human ingenuity should not be underestimated. Ye Yu and Qin Guan donned simple space suits and boarded a pre-arranged flying vehicle that took them deeper into the tunnel.
The lighting in the tunnel was not very bright; only when they encountered other flying vehicles did strong beams of light illuminate their surroundings, reminding them that even this seemingly desolate planet had its share of life.
The speed of the flying vehicle was not fast, but after about ten minutes, what had once been a dark space suddenly opened up. The surrounding light changed dramatically; in just a few blinks, it felt as if they had stepped directly from night into day.
The empty space of the Underworld was filled with electronic screens that simulated both day and night. In this vast artificial expanse, several giant light bodies floated, resembling man-made stars. The scene was so expansive that a person within it felt no different than they would on an ordinary planet, and naturally, there was no overwhelming sense of confinement typical of the Underworld. Many people had lived their entire lives in this space without ever venturing outside.
At this moment, the Underworld resembled a massive tropical rainforest, teeming with tall tropical plants, and the entire area exuded a vibrant energy of youth.
"Identification!" At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang in Ye Yu's ear. Turning towards the sound, Ye Yu saw a Sunglasses Man dressed in jungle-patterned attire, wielding an Assault Phase Gun and staring at him. The muscles visible on the Sunglasses Man were prominently bulging, radiating a strong aura of menace. Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly; he knew he had encountered a fellow operative!
On the Sunglasses Man's chest was a purple crystalline emblem that shimmered with a faint cold glow under the refracted artificial light. This place was essentially in a state of anarchy, so the one checking identification here could only be a mercenary from the Amethyst Society!
