Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 159 Ye Xiu and Aurora, Hela's Journey

Three days later, the scavengers' spaceship landed again on the surface of the barren planet.

The salvage operation to the edge of the wormhole belt yielded far more results than expected, with the ship's hold crammed full of metal debris, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.

A feeling of great joy welled up inside me!

But the moment the hatch opened, everyone's smiles froze, and they stared in disbelief.

The once-hidden entrance to the base now resembled a wound torn open by a giant beast, and the internal facilities had vanished without a trace.

Holy crap! Where's my massive base?!

The scavenger leader wiped his eyes and then patted the little girl's bottom hard.

After hearing the screams coming from it, I had to confirm that this was not a hallucination.

In an instant, the scavenger leader's face was filled with rage, turning ashen. He said coldly, "Very well! You dare to steal from me, the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Don't let me find out who you are, or else..."

Seeing this, the other members also made some harsh remarks.

His tone was so arrogant that even the overlord [Heber] would have to leave behind a pair of red underwear before he could leave.

After all, bragging isn't illegal.

Of course, despite their boasting, they were also full of doubts.

Three months ago, they spent half of their savings to build a base on this wandering planet with chaotic coordinates. They never revealed the location, so how could anyone know about the base's existence?

"Could there be a traitor within the team?" Pi Tiandi's eyes flickered slightly as he scanned the crowd, and for a moment everyone seemed like a traitor, like an internal spy.

He wanted everyone to know how he, the Emperor of Skin, truly lived up to his name!

At the same time, Emperor Pi was filled with regret. If he had stayed at the base, this would never have happened.

He knew this might be the work of an outsider, so while planning a thorough internal investigation, he said, "Investigate! I want to see which petty thief dared to be so audacious."

They were just a small scavenger team from the Terran Cluster, and most people wouldn't even bother dealing with them.

What's more, this time the "base raid" was so thorough that even a mouse would shed a couple of tears before leaving.

Therefore, Emperor Pi was quite certain that this was the work of a petty thief, and one whose moral standards were ridiculously low.

In his view, this kind of person needs to be genuine.

Soon, the group finally contacted the information broker, and together they chipped in 37 cents and 21 cents, barely managing to scrape together the information fee.

Upon seeing the result, everyone's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of fear!

This is because intelligence indicates that only one spaceship has visited the planet during this period.

"It's...it's an alien planet!"

"Why would someone like him target us? That doesn't make sense."

"Could it be that someone on our team did something to betray him?"

"Are you kidding me? Our team is almost entirely male, could it be...?"

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, no longer daring to utter any harsh words, and still feeling a lingering sense of unease.

I am extremely grateful that I was not at the base at the time.

Otherwise, with their strength, they would be utterly crushed by an alien being.

Therefore, these scavengers suddenly felt that losing a base might be acceptable!

Whether it's a base or not doesn't matter. When we're out in the business world, we're all about three words—generosity!

……

Just as the scavengers were secretly relieved that their homes had been ransacked, Ye Xiu had already taken Hela, Aurora, and Caroline—one man and three women—onto a spaceship and headed for a distant place.

The spacecraft vibrated intermittently during the process.

Don't get me wrong, this wasn't ship sex; it was just an occasional encounter with particle turbulence.

As time passed, the spaceship traveled through the intergalactic jump gate and soon arrived at the Ryan sector of the Colton Cluster.

Ye Xiu's mission target—that special interstellar singer—is currently residing on the orbital platform of the New Ferran Alliance's capital planet.

As the ruling civilization of the Ryan Galaxy, the New Ferran Alliance spent a fortune to invite the most popular cosmic singer from the Shattered Rings to hold a concert tour.

In today's highly developed interstellar civilization, once basic material needs are met, spiritual and cultural consumption will naturally become the mainstream trend.

Holographic projection theaters, quantum resonance concerts, cross-dimensional literary salons, and other diverse art forms allow the characteristics of different civilizations to shine together in the starry sky.

Although Ye Xiu had little interest in the virtual idol stage plays that were broadcast 24 hours a day on the Star Entertainment Channel.

But he knew all too well that these dazzling displays of light and shadow were the very spiritual sustenance that countless interstellar citizens relied on to while away the endless days.

After all, in civilization systems at level three and above, basic survival guarantees have long been achieved for all people, and only those who pursue a higher quality of life will go to work.

The key figure in this mission is the invited interstellar star.

His voice seemed to penetrate dimensional barriers, resonating synchronously across twelve star clusters via live StarNet broadcast.

Even the most remote mining colonies could receive its soul-stirring chants through relay stations.

This singer, known as the "Nightingale of the Stars" by her fans, was invited to participate in the New Ferran League's "Reunion Day" gala.

A closed-door performance will be held on the giant entertainment ship called "Wine and Celebration".

The problem is that this luxurious spaceship, equipped with an artificial aurora dome, is only open to dignitaries and interstellar tycoons.

When the gold invitation with an Omega security level appeared on the holographic projection screen, Caroline hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you want to sneak into the Reunion Day celebration?"

"Of course." Ye Xiu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Aurora subconsciously became somewhat excited, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Of course, since becoming a disciple of the Dragon Throne, she and her sister Hela have traveled to many places and broadened their horizons considerably.

However, for her, there was someone else who was equally important on this trip, besides her sister.

Therefore, this trip had a very different feel to it.

Compared to Aurora's romantic naiveté, Caroline couldn't help but sigh and shake her head, saying, "Don't be delusional. Those who can enter the viewing area are all from the New Ferran elite class."

"For example, high-ranking political figures, military commanders, and major taxpayers."

"The security system for this level of gathering is comparable to that of an interstellar fortress. If you approach rashly, you might be locked on on the spot by the anti-assassination system."

The Unity Day celebration originates from the historical event of the New Ferran star system ending its division and returning to unity, and its symbolic meaning is similar to the national day celebration in Ye Xiu's previous life.

Although mercenaries are highly valued in crisis management, their social status is actually not very high.

Even mercenaries like Ye Xiu, who have a history of cooperation with the alliance, can only apply for prison visitation privileges at most, and are always separated from the core celebration by a heavily guarded cordon.

Of course, there are always exceptions to the rules—if Ye Xiu could get that legendary figure Long Tan to come, not only would he receive an invitation to the ceremony, but the alliance leader would probably personally accompany him to take a seat.

After all, in the face of absolute power, any political considerations must give way.

When someone can casually wield a brick the size of a planet, the so-called security regulations are nothing more than empty words on paper.

"Don't worry, it's a small problem." Ye Xiu patted Aurora's head, his tone filled with confidence.

"Thank you, Brother Ye Xiu." Aurora smiled sweetly upon hearing this.

"Tch!" Caroline secretly curled her lip, subconsciously thinking that Ye Xiu was saying that on purpose to flirt with girls.

The colossal spaceship named "Wine and Celebration" sat silently at the starport berth, its hexagonal hull gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, surrounded by an escort fleet that resembled stars around the moon.

In preparation for the Unity Day celebrations, the entire port is under special control today and is open to invited guests only.

The transfer hall was already packed with people, as citizens of New Ferran jostled shoulder to shoulder, eager to witness this momentous event.

Traditionally, all participants and dignitaries will board the ship via a dedicated passageway.

This is both a symbol of the opening of the celebration and the only opportunity for the public to get up close to the event.

Amid the surging crowd, Ye Xiu stood firm like a rock, while Aurora clung tightly to his clothes to barely keep her balance.

The soldiers on the perimeter frequently turned their gazes in this direction.

The energy detectors they wore were emitting a blinding red light, a stark reminder of the lazy smile on the man's face.

Its body harbors a powerful energy fluctuation capable of overturning half a port.

As time passed, and the first group of dignitaries began to move toward the gangway, the boiling crowd erupted in thunderous cheers.

The formally dressed VIPs, with their standardized smiles and gestures of greeting the public, reminded Ye Xiu of commanders at military parades.

Soon, when that cobalt blue figure appeared, the cheers suddenly turned into frenzied roars.

The newcomer, veiled in starlight, possessed a captivating beauty in every inch of her skin, and her dark eye makeup shimmered like shattered diamonds under the spotlight.

His team of assistants swarmed around him like a planetary belt orbiting a star, creating waves of sound wherever they went.

"Morning Star! Morning Star!" Amidst the overwhelming shouts, Ye Xiu's eyes flickered slightly.

This person is the one who triggered the quest; through him, there's a good chance of obtaining the [Quest Settlement Card]!

Of course, besides this thing, what Ye Xiu wanted even more was this person.

At this moment, listening to the almost deafening cheers around him, one can see just how successful this person's career as a celebrity is.

It should be noted that this person is a male.

The bottom has a handle.

When the parade passed through the area where Ye Xiu was, Chen Xing suddenly stopped, turned her head and stared at him. Her gaze seemed to have a life of its own, piercing through the crowd and landing precisely on Ye Xiu.

As he took a step forward, the scene instantly spiraled out of control.

The crowd instantly stirred, with countless arms reaching out like a forest towards their idol, wanting to touch him.

The soldiers formed a human wall with their shields, their bulging veins showing the immense pressure they were under:

"Lord Morning Star, it's not safe here. Please don't get too close!"

"It's alright, I believe everyone will not hurt me," Morning Star's voice was like a clear mountain spring, carrying a calming magic.

The commotion miraculously subsided, and through the spontaneously formed human wall, the popular superstar walked straight toward his target.

Under the intense gaze of countless eyes, Chenxing extended her hand, clad in a silver-threaded glove, to Ye Xiu:

"Would I have the honor of inviting you as a special guest to tonight's performance?"

The sound of gasping for air echoed all around, the air was almost sucked dry, and the temperature immediately rose by 5.20 degrees.

The audience who had been crowding around Ye Xiu recoiled as if electrocuted, leaving him alone in a vacuum zone three meters in diameter.

Whispers spread like a virus:

"Who is this person? What is his relationship with Chenxing?"

"Damn it, why was he chosen? I'm not having it!"

"I've got incredibly good luck."

Ye Xiu nodded calmly: "Okay."

During the journey with the team, the staff urgently checked Ye Xiu's file.

They discovered that the other party was a mercenary who had participated in joint operations and had connections with Longtan.

After a brief negotiation, the organizers made an exception and allowed the mercenary to proceed, thanks to Morningstar's insistence, as the mercenary's resume was indeed impeccable.

The latest novel is first published here!

The main reason is that Ames, the Dragon Throne, is standing behind her.

Caroline was still in a daze as she walked through the corridor and stepped onto the celebration ship.

It wasn't until the vibrations of her boots hitting the deck that she realized she had actually stepped into the celebration venue.

Caroline gripped Ye Xiu's sleeve tightly, her voice trembling: "This is actually true?! How did you do that?"

"My charm is too great, there's nothing I can do about it," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

Of course, the real reason was the mysterious statue he carried with him.

Morning Star can keenly sense the special mental fluctuations emanating from the statue, and it will inevitably attract attention as long as it is within a hundred meters.

And this was the admission ticket that Ye Xiu had carefully designed.

As the last guest boarded the ship, all the city-states on the main star simultaneously lit up with ring-shaped fireworks.

With the hum of its power engines, the Wine & Celebration slowly ascended and began to orbit Ferran Main Star.

The iridescent shield refracted rainbow light under the starry sky, resembling a newly born artificial satellite when viewed from the ground.

Ye Xiu was led into the Morning Star team's observation cabin, but the star did not appear. He only left his assistant to convey the message that they would meet privately after the celebration.

However, the assistant waited and waited, but the black-haired youth did not show any curiosity.

After entering the room, he remained with his eyes closed, leaning against the floating chair, seemingly uninterested in the answer to the mystery.

It wasn't until the third round of fireworks exploded outside the porthole that the assistant, unable to contain himself any longer, cleared his throat.

"Distinguished guest, Lord Morning Star wishes to meet with you after the celebration. Please wait here and enjoy the upcoming performance."

"Hmm." Ye Xiu's response was still brief.

He knew Morning Star inside and out, so naturally he had no interest in asking any questions.

As the audience gradually took their seats, the dome suddenly bloomed like flower petals, revealing a vast sea of ​​stars.

A translucent energy field isolates the vacuum, and a giant stage floats in the core area of ​​the spaceship, which has now been transformed into a cosmic theater!

The VIP cabin rose smoothly amidst slight vibrations and hovered in mid-air at a 45-degree angle.

The one-way transparent curtain wall offers a panoramic view of the stage, while the gravity stabilization device makes it feel like walking on flat ground for everyone inside.

More than two hundred VIP cabins, arranged like a star ring array, formed a dazzling ribbon of light above the stage.

As the starlight shifted, a magnificent aurora burst forth on the cosmic stage, officially commencing an epic performance that transcends the stars.

At this moment, hundreds of billions of citizens of the New Ferran Federation are witnessing this interstellar grand event through holographic projection, and the eyes of the entire civilization are converging.

Witnessing this unimaginable cosmic stage, and looking at the people around them, not only Aurora but also Hela couldn't help but tremble slightly at the fingertips.

Aurora felt a special ripple in her heart as she glanced at Ye Xiu's sharply defined profile.

When Chen Xing appeared as the final performer, Ye Xiu suddenly turned his head and asked, "What were you peeking at just now?"

"It's nothing." Aurora hurriedly looked away, her ears turning slightly red.

Ye Xiu smiled but didn't say anything, turning his gaze back to the stage.

All the beams of light converged on the location of the morning star, and only where he stood on the vast stage was bathed in a soft glow, while the rest of the area was shrouded in deep shadows.

The mere act of standing still created a unique aura, filling the vast performance space with an invisible sense of presence, and gradually silencing the noisy scene.

Clear, crisp notes pierced through the veil and lingered, the pure voice acting as a medium to transcend time and space, drawing everyone's consciousness back to the early days of civilization.

Each listener is transformed into an ancient ancestor, gazing at the sky at dawn.

At the edge where chaos and light intertwine, the morning star proclaims its existence with its gentle yet enduring radiance, a light that contains both hope and the lingering darkness of night.

Even before the performance started, the audience had already taken off their language switching devices.

Even without understanding the meaning of the words, the vast imagery carried in the sound waves still gripped every beating heart.

The magnificent scene of the Milky Way revolving unfolded in everyone's consciousness, and the eternal rhythm of the cycle of life resonated in their ears.

As the melody progressed, the field of light began to expand outwards.

As the pitch reached its zenith, radiance suddenly filled the entire performance area, and beams of energy shot straight into the depths of the universe as if breaking free from their restraints.

The tremors, originating from the very source of life, traveled along the audience's spines to their central nervous system, triggering widespread shudders.

"What a beautiful voice," Hela murmured, her eyes glazed over, her fingertips unconsciously clutching her clothes.

Ye Xiu's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He had to admit that those melodies infused with spiritual resonance did indeed possess a penetrating power.

But when my gaze swept over the expensive holographic projection equipment, my thoughts turned to the real world.

The resources required to host a performance of this scale would be enough to purchase several interstellar spaceships.

As the afterglow faded, viewers, whether at the scene or on the StarNet terminal, remained deeply immersed in the ripples of consciousness.

The moment the performer bowed his head and retreated into the darkness, the belated cheers finally transformed into a wave of sound that swept across the entire venue.

Ye Xiu stretched his shoulders and stood up, gesturing to the assistant waiting beside him: "Take me to see him."

……

Inside the private room, Ye Xiu and the others sat patiently in the guest seats, waiting.

Soon, with a slight creak of the wooden door, Chenxing, who had just finished her performance, stepped in gracefully, the hem of her moon-white robe fluttering gently.

"We apologize for keeping our distinguished guests waiting. We hope you enjoyed the performance just now?"

"Barely better than me." Ye Xiu nodded.

Hela gasped, her fingertips almost digging into the back of the sandalwood chair, shocked by his shamelessness.

Seeing this, Chenxing smiled and gently removed the veil covering her face with her slender fingers, revealing her like a bright pearl emerging from its box.

By universal human aesthetic standards, this androgynous face is absolutely stunning.

Ye Xiu couldn't help but recall Arosia's breathtaking beauty; the one before him was only slightly inferior.

However, this one is a male... Although it's exciting, unfortunately he's not a master technician like Han, and he's not into that kind of thing.

Han Xiao: "I'm suing you for defamation! He's defaming me!!!"

"You must be wondering why I invited you," Morning Star said slowly.

"I am indeed curious." Ye Xiu said without changing his expression.

No, you're not curious at all!

Hela nearly shattered her silver teeth.

"To be honest, I also have another identity as a collector."

As Chenxing spoke, he took out a bronze statue from his sleeve. Although its patterns were different, its shape was exactly the same as the one in Ye Xiu's arms.

"There are four of these objects in total; two are here, and the rest are scattered across the Milky Way."

"And you seem to have something I want in you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu cooperatively pulled out the [mysterious statue] he always carried, his tone full of surprise:

"Wow, what a coincidence!"

You big idiot!

Hela's lips twitched, her expression contorted, she was struggling to hold it in.

"Is this young lady feeling unwell?" Morning Star's gaze shifted. "Should we call a physician?"

"No need," Ye Xiu glanced at his companion.

"I've heard you're an interstellar mercenary." Morning Star leaned lazily against the cushion, her snow-white toes peeking out from beneath her robe.

"If you will help me find the lost statue, I will reward you with 100,000 inars."

"One hundred thousand?" Caroline, standing to the side, was breathing heavily.

This figure is equivalent to three years' income for an ordinary mercenary!

She couldn't even dream of such a number.

Ye Xiu remained calm. This task was the king of cost-effectiveness—simple errand running with the reward of an S-level task.

More importantly, achieving high ratings quickly can trigger a valuable random reward pool.

"No problem, are there any requirements?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Of course," Morning Star lightly touched her lips with her fingertip, "the sooner the better."
