Alien Hotel.

Chapter 680 Stealth Plan
This was the first time Luo had directly confronted the brilliant ideas of the idea king at the intersection point—of course, saying it was the first time wasn't entirely accurate, but last time she was the victim of the idea, so the perspective was clearly different this time.

But she could tell that the other people in the hostel were obviously very familiar with this sudden idea, and even extremely happy about it.

Eileen had already started planning what to do with this Stargate creature after it arrived—her initial idea was to take it back and hang it above the Boundary City to show off to the Iron-Faced Man, but this plan was immediately rejected. Her next idea was to take it back and hang it above the valley, high up to be her Eileen Legion's Sky City, but this far-fetched idea was also rejected, on the grounds that the valley's sky height was insufficient, and that letting those mass-produced dolls, each only half a meter tall, live in such a colossal structure would be a waste of resources, even more so than leaving it to cultists…

Clearly, Eileen had no concept of the true scale and function of this stargate. She probably didn't even understand a single word of what Luo had just explained.

Her understanding of the whole thing is probably limited to "it seems like we're getting new appliances for the house"...

Fortunately, there were always some smart people on the scene who were still seriously thinking. Hu Li's ears twitched, and he quickly raised a practical question: "Such a big thing... it will probably take a long time for our benefactor to 'transform' it, and once the star gate is out of control, there will definitely be a lot of disturbances. At the very least, the garrison in that 'star fortress' over there will find out immediately, right?"

Yu Sheng chuckled and rubbed the fox's head: "Who said I wanted to completely transform it all at once?"

Hu Li blinked: "?"

“Completely overthrowing them is something to do after we wipe out the garrison, but right now I'm just going over to open a door,” Yu Sheng said casually. “Do you usually have to buy the whole mall before you can even walk in?”

Hu Li's ears twitched a few times: "Well, that's not necessary..."

“I’ll just change the opening path—the ‘stargate’ will still be theirs, but the ‘door’ will be mine,” Yu Sheng said seriously, pondering for a moment. “Based on my previous experience of ‘contact’ with various spaceships, space stations, and space fortresses, ‘occupying’ a facility from its complete physical structure is a very slow process, and it’s easy to be discovered once the modification begins. But if we only want to access some of its functions, it doesn’t have to be so complicated, especially something like a ‘door’…”

He paused here, his gaze passing over the huge observation window not far away, looking towards the majestic building in space that emitted a red glow.

This time, he didn't use a holographic projection, but looked directly at the "stargate" with his naked eyes.

Yu Sheng is a thoughtful person, but that doesn’t mean his ideas are just based on flashes of inspiration. He has his own reasons and intuition, but many things are difficult to explain to others.

He did indeed see a door, a ready-made... passage, a door standing gleaming in space, its blank doors radiating a silent invitation, as if with a gentle push, it would open like any ordinary door in the world, leading to somewhere else.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen a stargate—in the very first moment, he realized that the view he saw through the holographic projection on the bridge was different from the view he saw directly through the observation window, and it was from that moment that this bold idea popped into his mind.

"How do you plan to get there?" Luo's voice rang out from the side, waking Yu Sheng from his thoughts. "The Otherworld Hotel can't get any closer, and small aircraft can't escape the security scan of the stargate itself—anything with an engine will trigger the defense system. You need to control that gate... at least make contact with it."

As a scientist, Luo couldn't understand Yu Sheng's idea at all, since it was theoretically impossible to explain. However, as a victim whose space station had been taken by Yu Sheng, she always maintained an attitude of not understanding but respecting her boss's ideas.

In fact, she has recently even begun to try to interpret Yu Sheng's various abilities using theory—but so far she has not found a way to do so.

Yu Sheng pinched his chin and began to ponder.

"Not any kind of aircraft? Not even the smallest ones?"

Luo Yi shrugged: "Intercepting illegal aircraft is a basic security function of the stargate. And how small can it be? First, you have to cross the long distance between the Alien Hotel and the stargate—smaller drones can't even fly over there at all."

Yu Sheng clicked his tongue: "Tsk, I was originally thinking of using Yu Lei's gang—I haven't experienced that thing in a long time."

Luo was completely bewildered: "What does 'jumping the gun' mean?"

“It’s just a torpedo,” Eileen immediately stood on the armrest of the chair and explained excitedly, “They hollowed it out and stuffed Yu Sheng inside, so it’s called the ‘Flying Torpedo’—it hits wherever it goes. That’s how they did it when they attacked the final form of the Star Entity…”

Luo was already shocked halfway through, and almost jumped up after hearing the whole thing: "This is actually possible?!"

Yu Sheng: "Hey, hey, you're an elf—"

“I’m trying my best to be polite, boss! But I can’t express my feelings without some interjections—this method is absolutely not going to work!” Luo was a little flustered. “That thing can’t escape security scanning. One fortress torpedo—air defense radar isn’t blind. It doesn’t care what kind of stuff that thing is… Uh, I didn’t mean to offend you!”

“I know, I know, that’s why this plan was rejected from the start,” Yu Sheng waved his hand, still pondering, “A small shuttle definitely won’t get through, and joining forces with Yu Lei won’t work either… Drones don’t have enough range, and those things also have engines, so they might be detected…”

He muttered to himself for a moment, then suddenly stopped. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a silvery, furry creature frolicking around his feet. Yu Sheng looked up at the holographic projection on the communication console.

"What if it were a fox tail carrying people through space?"

The fox's ears perked up instantly, and its tails began to wag vigorously with delight.

"Yes, that's right!" Eileen exclaimed, realizing the idea. "That's a good approach!"

Luo: "...?"

Yu Sheng pointed to the fox girl next to him: "Do you think the air defense radar near the stargate can detect her tail? Her tail does breathe fire, but it's not a conventional engine. That thing is, in a sense, magic—you know the broomsticks wizards ride, right?"

Luo's expression remained blank: "...?"

Then, after another two or three seconds, the blonde elf finally jumped up: "No way, is this how you usually formulate battle plans?!"

“We were relatively restrained today,” Eileen said, arms crossed and nodding seriously. “If it weren’t for the fact that this was a secret infiltration, Yu Sheng would have already been put into the accelerator and fired by now, according to our usual practices—he might even have been loaded into the second round.”

"Holy crap!"

“Just tell me how feasible it is,” Yu Sheng said, looking at Luo’s projection. “If the success rate is over 30%, I’ll go for it.”

Luo paused for two or three seconds before reluctantly beginning to deduce the plan based on his understanding of stargate architecture and its defensive technology.

In fact, she felt a little guilty calling this thing a "plan"—if she had dared to write "the probability of a fire-breathing fox tail being scanned by a stargate radar" in her thesis when she was in school, she probably would have been hung on the Tower of Sylantis by her furious professor.

But now she has to consider the possibility of such an outrageous thing.

"...Theoretically, firstly, the stargate radar wouldn't react to such a small target, and because it's not fast, even if it did detect it, you would most likely be identified as a space object like a meteorite. Secondly, the stargate is such a large facility, and its air defense range is also amazing. To achieve a rapid response to such a large amount of radar information, it is usually preprocessed according to 'signature codes'. The fox, uh, the fox tail... is definitely not in the 'signature database'."

"The only risk is that your energy reactions during flight might attract the attention of that armed star fortress. That space station has a set of very conspicuous detection antennas, which I suspect are specifically designed to target psionic energy. It is constantly scanning the entire airspace, but I don't know exactly how sensitive those antennas are."

"As for the worst-case scenario, being directly observed by sight... that probability is the lowest. Given the size of that stargate and the openness of this area, it is virtually impossible for small flying objects to be detected by the naked eye. As long as you choose to fly in an open area, unless a cruiser happens to fly right in your face, no one will be able to spot you."

Yu Sheng listened attentively to Luo's analysis.

"Okay, let's do it."

After saying that, he stood up from the captain's seat, and Hu Li next to him also stood up and raised his hand to grab the tail from behind.

"Wait, wait a minute—" Luo finally panicked a bit at the situation and couldn't help but speak up, "Are you really going to do this? What if that armed star fortress discovers us? Wouldn't our operation be exposed then?!"

Yu Sheng stopped, turned his head and looked at Luo with a half-smile: "What are you revealing?"

Luo blurted out instinctively, "The consequences of exposing the aftermath..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

“Let’s analyze this logically,” Yu Sheng said with a chuckle, “Suppose you are the Starfortress commander—and right now you’re watching a person riding a fox’s tail traverse space in their physical form, and you even manage to blast the target to pieces in space with a single shot. Besides finding this extremely bizarre, how many steps would it take for you to connect this to the idea that ‘a main fleet will be deployed directly into the Stargate in a couple of days’? Even if you know you need to be more vigilant, can you be sure of exactly what you need to be ‘vigilant’ about?”

Luo Wei stood there, mouth agape, stunned.

“I actually have a lot of common sense,” Yu Sheng said happily, raising his hand to rub Hu Li’s ears. “Common sense is a good thing, very useful—Hu Li, let’s go.”
