Chapter 795: Zerg Knights

Since they had decided to send reinforcements to Earth, Yin Lieyang and Jiang Duxing quickly left to make the necessary arrangements.

Yin Lieyang supported financially by arranging for all the required resources for various wars. Saiyan Clan’s Jiang Duxing was responsible for dispatching troops, arranging military personnel, and all matters related to the deployment of the space carriers.

“Duxing,” Yin Lieyang asked. “I have no problem with the resources on my end. Who do you intend to send to lead the team? Earth is where the Saiyan super genius Mo Tianji fell. It’s a big deal. You can’t just send anyone.”

“I know.” Jiang Duxing touched his chin and said slowly, “The Zerg that attacked this time are mutated. We cannot be too careful. I don’t feel assured if an ordinary person leads the team.”

“That’s for sure.” Yin Lieyang nodded. “Mutated Zerg aside, the key is that they have captured two space carriers. Even if the people inside wish to commit suicide, they might not be able to. The arrival of Zerg Knights is a foregone conclusion. They are nastier than the mutated ones. They can fly in the universe and are tiny with extremely powerful weapons. They are difficult to deal with.”

“Yes. Ordinary warriors do not have the slightest chance in dealing with the Zerg Knights.” Jiang Duxing sighed. “We have to look for an energy user. Currently, those who are closer to Shenluo City...” He suddenly stopped and his eyes shone. “Speaking of which, Li Tianxing and Feng Wuhen are here now. We can ask them to lead the team. Although it’s dangerous, it is a good opportunity to gain some merit. Our Galaxy Aristocrats have been grooming Li Tianxing and Feng Wuhen. Although they have always been at odds with each other, I believe they should behave at such a critical moment.”

“Li Tianxing and Feng Wuhen?” Yin Lieyang thought for a while and smiled. “Not bad. They are both energy users. One ice and one wind. They are the more capable ones among the younger ones. This shall be a test for them. Let them set off together. It should be no problem. It’s decided, then.”

“En.” Jiang Qianxue nodded. “Also, I’ll ask my Qianxue to come along. She’s a little obsessed with the super genius recently. I’ll distract her before she gets into trouble.”

“I think that works.” Yin Lieyang agreed. “We could groom the almighty genius and provide him with economic support. But if he does not agree, we must not let him and Qianxue develop feelings for each other. The outcome will be serious. Divert her attention for a while. Be careful. It will be dangerous.”

“En.”

...

On the Elders’ side.

“According to the news from Hellfire,” An Elder said, “this super-genius of the Milky Way is ranked third among the 4,000 galaxies in the entire Dimu Star Sector. He is Milky Way’s strongest genius in history. It’s a pity that I haven’t been able to find this person. This is really...”

“Yes.” Another Elder nodded. “As long as this genius has a good character, once he is found, we will definitely groom him to become the top player. We will give him all the resources we have available, even the Light Soul Stone that the Galaxy Aristocrats have been protecting. But this rascal hasn’t even shown his face yet. This is just...”

Genius. A real almighty genius. Any stellar system would spare no expense grooming him.

As the saying went: “Do not let one’s fertile water flow into an outsider’s farmland.” ¹ Although this genius was not from Beta Planet, in the universe, all humans had a common enemy.

Zerg!

These ferocious Zerg were resilient. Facing normal Zerg, humans usually won. After all, it was easy for space carriers to destroy their nests.

But the problem was, not only normal Zerg existed!

If normal Zerg was like space carriers, mutated Zerg was like Stellar-level Space Carriers! Facing mutated Zerg, there was no way ordinary space carriers could go against them. Their best option was to self-destruct.

It was okay to depend on the Stellar-level Space Carriers for mutated Zergs. The problem was the Zerg Knights that were controlled by the Zerg.

Zerg Knights could travel through the universe physically. Other than the powerful weapons on their bodies, they were extremely agile and moved at light speed. Their tiny bodies made it hard for others to kill them!

It was a fight like an ant biting an elephant. They could easily break through the defensive shield and enter the space carrier.

Ordinary soldiers were no match for Zerg Knights.

In the history of mankind, every time Zerg Knights appeared, they would cause a devastating disaster to mankind. Fortunately, when humans were on the brink of desperation, Faerie Star appeared.

And one of the biggest resources of Faerie Star was the Soul Stone!

Combined with a person’s blood, it allowed the person to possess powerful abilities!

With energy users, humans had the chance to turn the tables around. It was precisely because of this that every powerful soul stone was a treasure of the entire human race. The real value of these things was higher than technology products like space carriers!

With energy users, humans gained the ability to fight the Zerg. But! The biggest weakness of the energy users was that they could not enter the universe physically to fight!

Hence, the only way to fight against the Zerg Knights was to lure them to the surface of a planet. That was the only way to secure a chance of victory.

“As long as this almighty genius fuses with the Light Soul Stone...” The Third Elder sighed again. “It would be much easier to face the mutated Zerg and Zerg Knights. Sigh.”

“No choice.” Old Elder shook his head. “It’s hard to grasp what goes on in a genius’ mind. Even if we found the genius now, it’s too late. Let’s take one step at a time. For this battle, we will send two energy users and five Second-Order Stellar Space Carriers. It should be alright.”

“We can only do that.” Everyone nodded.

Jiang Dongliu, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly stood up and said, “Speaking of which, I could invite a strong ally this time.”

“Oh? Who is it?” Hearing that, all the Elders exclaimed. “A strong ally, this person must be quite strong.”

“Definitely.” Jiang Dongliu smiled. “The strongest emperor among Dimu Star Sector space pirates, White Beard Gate, is in Shenluo City. If he is willing to help, it will be no problem to defeat the Zerg.”

“White Beard Gate?!” All the Elders were shocked.

That was the strongest warrior ranking first in the entire Dimu Star Sector. He was in Shenluo City now?

“This is big news!” Old Elder said anxiously. “Where is he now?”

“Shenluo City’s Star Harbor.” Speaking of Gate’s whereabouts, Jiang Dongliu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “The problem is, he is tending shops for Hong Dali...”

The strongest warrior in Dimu Star Sector, White Beard Gate, was tending shops for Hong Dali?

The news about mutated Zerg was acceptable. But this piece of news was unbelievable.

“Dongliu, did you make a mistake?” Old Elder said in shock. “That is White Beard Gate. He is tending shops for the legendary prodigal, Hong Dali? How are they related?!”

“Speaking of which, Hong Dali is really lucky. Of course, there must be a reason for his squandering ways.” A myriad of expressions crossed Jiang Dongliu’s face. “Gate goes on vacation occasionally. This time, he came to Shenluo City. The way he took his vacation this time was interesting—he sold himself, and for one hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars a month at that. And it happened to be at a pawnshop which Hong Dali bought in one of his squandering trips. Hong Dali was really generous. He added twenty thousand to Gate’s offer and bought him for one hundred and twenty thousand a month...”

What the heck, this world was too crazy. Was this a fairytale?!

“Is that possible?!” Old Elder stared with his eyes wide open. “Both of them are now...”

“Hong Dali is one of Gate’s many sons.” Jiang Dongliu shook his head helplessly. “This rascal wanted to be the number one prodigal in the universe. His luck is really...”

Everyone listened as their snot almost dripped out.

One of Gate’s many sons. Just Gate alone was sufficient to destroy this world. He actually became one of his many sons. The thought of Gate’s powerful sons...

Damn, one hundred and twenty thousand to buy such a backing, this transaction...

“F**k,” Old Elder could not help but curse. “If Gate was willing to be our friends, I am willing to pay one hundred million a month! But this Hong Dali only spent one hundred and twenty thousand...”

“Comparisons are odious.” The other Elders signed. “One hundred and twenty thousand a month bought him such a strong backing...”

When everyone composed themselves, Old Elder touched his beard and finally shook his head. “Forget it. It’s okay if it is an average person, I cannot afford to invite White Beard Gate. Fortunately, we are still able to solve the problem this time. If we ask him now, we won’t be able to afford such a big favor.”

“That’s true.” Jiang Dongliu touched his beard. “Let’s do this first, then. The troops we sent out this time should suffice.”

...

On the other side, on Hong Dali’s spacecraft.

“Young Master, all the accounts and other procedures at the auction have been completed.” Ling Xiaoyi returned to the spacecraft and reported to Hong Dali. “Five of the top-grade gems were auctioned for a total of 23.8 million. The equipment was sold for a total of 133 million. After deducting the Red Rock Grass and the Life Planet that you bought, and deducting the 5% processing fee, we have 128.4 million Galaxy Dollars left.”

Hearing that, Yin Tianzong froze. “Brother Dali, your ability to earn money—teach me some ways. The remnant of that is more than my one year’s pocket money...”
