Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 530 No Money, No Sex

Kara City.

Li Zhongren transformed into an invisible mecha and easily infiltrated the city.

Their goal was simple: to come and obtain a legitimate identity.

However, the siblings did not plan to buy it.

People in the black market never talk to you about civility or trustworthiness. If you buy an identity from them, the price you pay is that you'll be controlled by them for life.

So, if you don't spend money, then it doesn't count as buying.

Anyway, there aren't many good people in the black market. Li Zhongren's idea was simple: find any black market, get two legal identities, and then kill everyone in that black market.

That's very simple, and it doesn't cost any money.

And it's also quite reasonable.

I'm now powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with warships, and you still want me to follow the rules? Wouldn't all my efforts to become stronger have been for nothing?

Thanks to having lived on this planet for many years, the siblings were very familiar with the area.

They quickly located a black market dealer's hideout.

"Transformation mode activated."

As Li Zhongren's thoughts surged, his entire mecha body instantly melted, transforming into a form similar to a liquid nanobot. In this form, everything except the star core, a special device, would be converted into liquid nano mode. This large mass of liquid nano armor attached itself to his sister's body, transforming into a small machine slightly larger than the standard size, similar to Iron Man.

The advantage of this mechanical mode is its flexibility.

The downside is that its defensive capabilities are not as good as those of a pure mech mode.

However, since we're infiltrating right now, this form is more convenient. Putting aside everything else, even getting through a door in giant mech mode is difficult; we can't exactly dismantle the door, can we?

Outside the door, Li Zhongren, in stealth mode, stood quietly, one hand on the doorknob, and liquid nano-metal instantly invaded the door lock.

But this was not the beginning. Following the door lock, the liquid metal continued to spread. Soon, all the monitoring and early warning facilities in the room were assimilated by Li Zhongren. With the help of the star core, he could now assimilate most objects and disappear in an instant.

The next moment, the door was silently pushed open and then closed again.

in the room.

It looks like a general store, but that's just a cover. The owner is actually a middleman who deals in all sorts of black market goods and has a terrible reputation in the industry. However, because he has connections with gangs in Kara City, many people suffer losses but just tolerate it.

This was someone carefully selected by Li Zhongren and Lan Bo'er; since it's a case of double-crossing, it's less likely to cause any psychological burden.

The room was very quiet.

It's late at night now, and that black market dealer is probably still asleep.

Li Zhongren stepped onto the second floor and, sure enough, saw the black market dealer. He was holding a gun in one hand, fast asleep with his eyes closed. However, he didn't seem to be sleeping soundly and would wake up at the slightest noise.

"Sleep well and rest here forever."

With a casual flick of his wrist, Li Zhongren sent two drops of nano-liquid metal into the man's skin. The metal traveled along the blood vessels to his heart, filtering out fats and other substances from the blood and artificially creating several blood clots. In an instant, the black market dealer died of a myocardial infarction.

And no matter who comes to inspect, they will not find any trace.

"Sis, the rest is up to you."

"Ah."

Lanboer, controlling her "younger brother's" body, came to the monitor and began to operate it. Soon, all kinds of intelligence and data possessed by the black market traffickers were displayed, including clean and verifiable identities.

Without hesitation, Lanboer chose to be a single woman.

Born in Kara City, generations of accumulation have earned me a ticket to leave Kara Star openly and legitimately.

As for why only one single woman was selected...

This was also Li Zhongren's idea.

The siblings leaving Kara Star together would draw too much attention and easily lead to speculation.

Don't underestimate the power of quantum computers in this era. With the analysis of various big data, any similarity can lead to certain deductions.

Therefore, having only one identity is the simplest approach.

As for him...

He doesn't need an identity. In his liquid nano-state, he can impersonate anyone. Once he leaves Kara Star, he can just find someone, kill them, and become that person.

"You did it, little brother."

Not long after, Lanboer said.

"I have deleted all the records, and no one will find out."

"Well, let's go then."

After saying this, Li Zhongren retrieved the nanomaterials from the black market dealer's body, and, with his sister, left through the door they had come from, disappearing into the night.
The Mayflower spacecraft slowly took off.

This is the only spaceship that can legally leave the planet Kara.

It can be considered the only way for the people of this planet to survive that the Empire has given them.

After all, people always need something to strive for.

However, this way of making a living is not easy to obtain.

If a person is exiled to Kara Star, then at least four generations later, they will have the opportunity to apply for a leave quota.

As for the natives who have lived here all along, the review process is more lenient; they only need to pay a large sum of money, ten million credits.

Then you can leave here.

The identity chosen by Li Zhongren's sister was the latter.

An indigenous person who has lived on Kara Star for many years.

No one would care about such natives; after all, the rights and wrongs, the grudges and grievances, have long since disappeared into the long river of history.

"Little brother, we can finally leave this place."

With one hand touching the window, Lanboer said excitedly.

"Yes, you can cry if you're happy."

"Huh? Wouldn't that be too obvious?"

"Just look around and you'll see."

Lanbo glanced around and, sure enough, many people were filled with excitement, and tears were streaming down their faces.

This ticket represents a new life.

How could you not be excited?

Naturally, Lanbo'er no longer suppressed her emotions and silently wiped away her tears.
Soon, the spaceship ascended into the sky.

Kara Star also became a planet.

From space, its color resembles that of the Blue Star, but because of its lush vegetation, Kara Star is more appropriately called the Green Star.

Goodbye, Kara Star.

These were his sister's whispers. Li Zhongren didn't feel them as deeply, after all, he was a time traveler after all.

"boom!!"

Soon, with a burst of jets, the Mayflower began to accelerate, circling around the planet Kara.

The purpose of doing this is simple: to increase speed.

In the interstellar age, the prerequisite for long-distance travel is to use a planetary gravitational slingshot to accelerate oneself. After accelerating, one must aim at a stargate in space and enter the stargate at a speed exceeding the baseline in order to enter the spirit world.

Once you enter the spirit world, you can follow the guidance of the star torch to go to the designated location.

This is the secret to the world's empires' long-distance voyages.

With the help of the spirit world, they can surpass the speed of light, turning a journey that would normally take tens of thousands of light-years into a month, or even just a few days.

Otherwise, the empire would never have been able to possess such a vast territory.

Star Torches and Star Gates are the highways that connect the empire's territory.

"Attention all passengers, we are about to enter the Spirit Realm through the Star Gate."

"Before entering the spirit world, please make sure to fasten your seatbelt and do not move around, otherwise the sudden acceleration will cause you serious injury."

"Once you enter the spirit world, you may leave your seat only with the permission of the flight attendant."

The flight attendant announced the news.
The people in the cabin were unusually quiet.

The efforts of several generations, a ticket costing ten million—few of the people sitting here are fools.

So everyone sat there quietly, waiting.
"Swoosh~~" After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhongren felt a sense of weightlessness, and the dark windows outside began to glow strangely.

It was like the seabed, and it was like the sky.

It felt like air, or like jelly.

In short, it was a hodgepodge that defies accurate description.

And this is the spirit world.

A world parallel to the real universe.

Here, time, space, and everything else are very different from the real world.

Correspondingly, many physical laws do not apply here.

For example, here, a spaceship can easily exceed the speed of light many, many times over.

There's no need to consider the laws of physics, because in this world, there is no matter and no weight.

The reason why the people inside the spaceship can still maintain their human form is because of the protection provided by the spaceship itself.

This is also one of the Empire's proudest technologies.

Without this technology, the fate of humans entering the spirit world would be assimilation into mindless monsters, and the various spirit monsters hidden in the spirit world would devour humans as the most delicious food.

Yes, the spirit world is not safe.

According to the Empire's research, the spirit world is related to the souls of intelligent beings to some extent.

This place is filled with all sorts of bizarre monsters.

Although they cannot easily leave the spirit world, they pose a great danger to spaceships traveling through the spirit world.

Therefore, this camouflage technology was considered the Empire's most prized technology.

"Go to sleep, sister, I'll take care of everything."

"Um"

After the excitement, Lanbo'er also felt a little sleepy.

She was ready to embrace a new life, but she didn't know what to do after leaving Kara Star.
Perhaps a good night's sleep will provide the answer.
Lanbo'er is asleep.

However, Li Zhongren, in his liquid metal form attached to Lanbo'er's body, remained conscious.

He's in a mechanical state now and doesn't need to sleep.

This is one of them.

He needs to be on guard.

Traveling through the spirit world is not 100% safe, just like taking an airplane in a past life.

Either nothing happens, or if something does happen, it's a big deal.

Therefore, he is more accustomed to having things under his own control.

For example, invading and assimilating this spaceship.

In fact, he was sitting like that.

Through the seat beneath his buttocks, powered by the star core, a continuous stream of nanometal robots spread from where he sat throughout the entire spaceship.

Of course, to prevent compromising the spaceship's stability, his nanobots did not directly assimilate the spaceship; instead, they were primarily responsible for surveillance.

Not long after the spaceship had stabilized its faster-than-light travel in the spirit world, Li Zhongren's nanobots had spread into the spaceship's cockpit and even docked with the other party's optical computer system.

Thus, with his sixty-four superimposed quantum computers, Li Zhongren also began to analyze the situation outside the spirit world that the spaceship had collected through various radars.

Moreover, Li Zhongren discovered that his analysis speed and accuracy were superior to those of the Mayflower. It could only be said that his body was too miraculous, allowing the sixty-four parallel quantum computers to merge into one and perform at the computational level of a starship with war-ready capabilities.

"So, I'm now practically a space mech in terms of size."

Space mechs.

It was also one of the empire's proudest achievements.

The maximum height is generally no more than three meters.

However, its combat power is comparable to that of an interstellar warship.

In particular, its superior maneuverability makes it very adept at directly penetrating enemy ships during boarding maneuvers.

Known as the nightmare of warships.

In terms of materials science, Li Zhongren is definitely no match for the Empire's space mechs.

But who can blame him when his body can cheat?

The most powerful aspect of flesh-and-blood cells is their ability to continuously absorb energy to strengthen themselves and increase the strength of materials.

It has only been about a month since Li Zhongren obtained the boat ticket.

In the past month, he has almost fully charged his star core, and his physical fitness has improved at an incredible speed!

Of course, there is an upper limit to this improvement.

Similar to the boundary effect.

After the first month, his improvement has entered a stable period, or even a plateau, because he has strengthened himself to almost the limit he can reach now. If he wants to improve further, he needs to devour enough rarer extraordinary materials.

However, at the moment, he is quite satisfied with his combat strength.

simplest.

He has now transformed into mecha mode, which allows him to survive even in the spirit world, because his star core can provide a continuous source of energy.

However, because he himself could not accelerate to a sufficient speed and did not have the right to link with the Star Torch, he was unable to leave the Spirit Realm.

That's why he had to protect the spaceship secretly; otherwise, if something really went wrong, he would be fine, but his sister would be in trouble.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Li Zhongren's personal computer was also constantly calculating various data.

Then, a red warning popped up.

It didn't come from the outside.

It's internal.

Through the internal monitoring system, he discovered a person, or rather a group of people.

Led by a teenager, they were in an overly tense state of mind.

Especially after collecting enough facial expressions.

Big data has led to a conclusion.

The group was very uneasy, as if they were afraid of something, or more accurately, worried.

They want to be safe, but they feel there will be problems.

Naturally, Li Zhongren readily retrieved their intelligence.

The descendants of exiles.

They are exactly the fourth generation.

Simply put, they were nobles who lost in political struggles and were exiled to Kara Star.

By the fourth generation, the family had used its backup plan, sending its descendants out of Kara Star, intending to return and inherit its political legacy.

So, things basically make sense now.

This group is worried that their political enemies will use underhanded tactics.

An empire is called an empire because its system is still based on the medieval system.

Even though technology has dominated space, the core remains unchanged.

Nobles generally do not engage in ruthless extermination.

After all, no one can guarantee that they will last forever. By working together to maintain this outcome, we can leave ourselves a way out.

However, as the interstellar age began and the empire's territory continued to expand, things changed.

In terms of management, it is naturally impossible to be perfect.

If you kill someone openly, no one will dare to offend you, but what if it's an assassination?
For example, encountering problems during a spirit world voyage.

It's clear that this group is worried about this.
