The Last Sentinel

Lighthouse Star, as its name suggests, exists to serve as a lighthouse, providing navigational anchors for spacecraft navigating the universe. It can guide spacecraft not only in the visible matter universe but also in the dark matter universe.

The planet is not very large, about the size of ten moons. The number of resident life forms on the planet is about one hundred million. According to the Milky Way's life classification, this number of life forms is roughly equivalent to a natural village in the Great Xia Dynasty, making it the lowest-level planetary regime in the Milky Way.

Although small, it has all the essential parts. Although Lighthouse Star is not large, it has become home to many offices of various major powers due to its superior space advantage.

Having been here for only half a day, Ye Feng had already roughly figured out the basic situation of the current universe.

Explained in two sentences.

The Dark Jungle Era is over; now we live in the Unending Era, where the Ancestor of Xu reigns supreme over the galaxy.

In the Unending Era, the monopoly between civilizations was broken, and various civilizations merged. The era in which civilizations were individuals was gone forever. Planetary regimes were reduced to local armed forces at the bottom level. Various capital giants, powerful warlords, and strong kings and nobles from across star systems took to the stage of the Milky Way and became the true rulers of this era.

Compared to real interstellar corporations and powerful warlords, the space pirate groups like Hydra and Leviathan along the Grand Line are nothing but chickens and dogs.

They're not even worthy of being on the table; they don't even deserve to set up an office on Beacon Star.

However, this was no challenge for Miss Celia of Suju.

Miss Celia patted her heart and assured Ye Feng that he could rest here for three days. Within three days, she would bring the person in charge of Hydra to apologize and compensate Ye Feng.

Since that was the case, the brothers all began to rest, and Ye Feng also used this time to reflect and calm himself down.

Ye Feng realized that his route to the Milky Way was wrong.

The development path I'm currently following is the one that Jerry guided me through.

Jerry is different from himself.

He was a wandering merchant, while I was, to be precise, a superhuman.

Wandering merchants and ronin are concerned with how to profit without risk.

My consideration is that there can be some risk, but the profit must be large!

In gaming terms, Jerry is the marksman, while I am the jungler; our development paths are completely different!

As Lu Xun once said, the truly good resources in this world are not found in the underworld or in the evil ways, but in the towering buildings of the prestigious and upright, at the pinnacle of orthodox power.

To acquire enough resources, simply relying on trade or engaging in combat on the Grand Line like a philosophical space pirate will only lead to a life of constant hunger and hardship.

The true way to live is to adapt to the rules of this universe and find the path to becoming a top expert within those rules.

When you become the real boss, resources are just a number to you.

It's as if I was once just a food delivery worker, looking up to the Alliance of Humanity, which is not to be profaned.

Later, when he became a core member of the People's Alliance, he felt that the People's Alliance was just a makeshift organization.

Some might question Ye Feng, asking if his thinking is too arrogant and arrogant, and whether he respects the elites of the galaxy.

Then we have to mention Charles Darwin.

Charlie can thrive under these cosmic rules and even give orders to Hydra to contain him!

Why can't I, Ye Feng, do it!

I was able to beat Charlie to the point of being unable to take care of himself on Earth, and I can also surpass Charlie and be stronger than Charlie under the rules of this universe!

All I need to do is find Charlie's history of how he made his fortune, and then follow his flawless path of development. I think further ahead and do things more thoroughly than he does!

"Boss, where are we going?"

"drink wine!"

"That's definitely possible! But do you have the money?"

"Miss Celia gave me some money. Shh, don't disturb everyone's rest!"

"Um!"

Ye Feng led Brother Eighty to the outside of the Xu Zu Guesthouse.

What comes into view is a city made of steel, streets made of steel, a huge phantom canopy, and a series of crisscrossing steel bridges and passageways. Looking up, you can see spaceships shuttling through the passageways, giving the whole scene a sense of sci-fi creation.

"My God."

"Boss," Brother Eighty exclaimed, "I feel like we're like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden!"

Ye Feng said, "Grandma Liu was just pretending. We're genuine country bumpkins visiting the city for the first time."

Brother Eighty said, "I didn't understand before why the Human Alliance built its underground base in such a sci-fi style, but now I realize it's so that when humanity leaves Earth and comes out into the world, they can adapt to the environment as quickly as possible!"

Ye Feng said, "Let's go. I've already found a tavern with great drinks and lots of girls!"

Brother Eighty chased after him, saying, "The quantity of girls is secondary; the quality is crucial! The quality must be up to par!"

The two, dressed in long black robes with hoods covering their faces, brushed past the nine life forms of the sequence.

Overall, these life forms are relatively normal in appearance, with half resembling human form and some being pure animal mutations. Although they are somewhat bizarre, one can get tired of seeing them after a few hundred or a thousand.

【Sherlock Tavern】A starry nightclub that occupies a hundred-story building.

Drunk men were lying in a line on the street near the entrance, while spaceships flashed overhead and occasionally screams could be heard, celebrating the extravagant entry of a rich young master.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Brother Eighty's eyes widened as he stared intently at the still-charming noblewoman not far away.

"Boss, I absolutely love this place!"

"Hey boss, could you give me a multi-dimensional translator?"

"I'll go in and have some fun!"

Ye Feng handed over a brainwave translation earring and took seven or eight Xu Zu gold coins. "Here, meet up here when it's light! Don't wander off!"

Brother Eighty said, "Don't worry!"

Ye Feng hung another round translation earring on his right ear. At that moment, all the gibberish and babbling sounds around him were translated into the Great Xia language that Ye Feng could understand.

"Another cup, please!"

"Is no one treating us to dinner at Sherlock's Tavern today?"

"What a disappointment!"

Ye Feng walked through the lower level of the meeting room and headed towards the middle level.

Before coming, Ye Feng had already found out that there was an information brokerage point in the middle floor of Sherlock Tavern.

"Hello sir, this is the members' area. Are you a member?"

A gatekeeper with green scales and a crocodile head stopped Ye Feng.

Ye Feng took out a gold coin, wanting to use money to his advantage.

But the crocodile heretic didn't even glance at it, simply swatting the gold coin to the ground. "You think you can get away with this for just one star coin? Do you think I'm that cheap?"

At this moment, a surge of anger rose deep in Ye Feng's eyes!

Heretic! If this were Earth, you would have been torn to pieces by now!

Just then, a dwarf dressed in a formal evening gown picked up the gold coin from the ground and said with great interest, "Foolish fellow, do you know what this gold coin is? This is a Xu Zu gold coin, a gold coin from the Xu Zu in the center of Weiyang! One Xu Zu gold coin is enough to exchange for ten thousand, no, at least thirteen thousand ordinary star coins, and your salary is only three thousand star coins a month? You actually refused a reward of thirteen thousand star coins!"

The gatekeeper was taken aback. "Kuzu gold coins? How could that be?"

The dwarf walked up to Ye Feng and handed him the gold coins. "I'm sorry, friend, this guy is lowly trash. He doesn't recognize noble gold coins, which is why you've been treated unfairly. I'm very sorry."

Ye Feng looked at the dwarf's green face, which resembled a goblin's, and hesitated before asking, "And who are you?"

The dwarf laughed, "My name is Sherlock, and I'm the owner of this tavern!"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper Hu Sasa knelt down in a row.

Sherlock, leading Ye Feng ahead, said, "Come, my friend. As the owner of the Xu Zu Gold Coin, you must be a distinguished guest of Xu Zu, perhaps even a nobleman. It is my honor, Sherlock, to host such a distinguished guest!"

"Come, come to my private office, I have some rare wines to share with you!"

"Someone, get rid of these guys at the door! I don't want to see them again."

"They ruined my tavern's reputation."

Outside the door, the gatekeeper's screams could be heard. Clearly, the treatment Sherlock was referring to was not dismissal, but rather physical disappearance.
