Chapter 183 The Descent of the Dragon Throne

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.

On the way back, he discussed it with Ames, since Dragon Throne was always too lazy to deal with such trivial matters.

If it were the hot-tempered Jenny, she probably would have already flipped the table and started yelling.

As expected, after hearing this, Ames waved her hand and said, "You decide what to do," displaying the typical hands-off approach of a manager.

"This needs to be reported to headquarters." Nagokin's hand was still trembling slightly as he took out his communicator.

When the overwhelmed high-ranking officials in the war bureau heard the news, the communication channels were almost bursting with gasps of disbelief.

The news was like a swimming pool suddenly appearing in the desert, alarming everyone from the operations command center all the way to the parliament building.

Within twenty minutes, seven or eight figures lit up in the holographic projection.

The senator in the center tugged at his tie: "Your Excellency, state your terms."

They were prepared to be ripped off, since the fate of the entire Godora now rested on that mutated Primarch.

Ye Xiu smiled and held up three fingers. The entire conference room then turned into a marketplace, with over a dozen political figures arguing heatedly.

Nagokin huddled in a corner, barely daring to breathe, watching helplessly as these bigwigs argued fiercely over every single percentage point.

Three hours later, a bald congressman removed his sweat-soaked wig: "Deal! I'll pay you back as soon as the crisis is over."

Although I was taken advantage of quite a bit, the other party's asking price was still within a reasonable range.

At least they didn't ask for mining rights on a colony like those space pirates did last time.

Ye Xiu whistled.

He made 20% more than he expected, and Godora was really getting desperate.

Three million inars arrived in the account on the spot, and the quantum computer account instantly transformed from a shriveled salted fish into a bulging pufferfish.

Not to mention the military supplies supplied at cost price, enough to upgrade the alien legion's equipment three times over.

Besides these tangible benefits, other conditions mainly involve identity recognition, exclusive treatment, and access to specific areas, which are relatively more complicated.

The main purpose is to enhance the reputation of the mercenary group, personal influence, and accumulate more connections and resources, all of which require Godora's long-term cooperation to deliver on.

He wasn't worried that Godora would go back on her word, after all, Longtan's reputation was the best guarantee.

By implying support for Longtan, he could gain favor with Godora and expand Longtan's diplomatic network...

This is not a formal alliance, but it can bring the two sides closer together; having more friends is always a good thing.

Although Ames is awe-inspiring, giving Longtan a powerful deterrent.

All factions will give way, but this is ultimately just superficial influence.

Compared to the intricate web of interests between other Super A-level powers and interstellar civilizations, Longtan's foundation is indeed much weaker.

Ye Xiu would naturally not shake Long Tan's principle of neutrality, but maintaining neutrality and making good connections are not contradictory.

He was happy to build bridges for communication between Longtan and other forces, which should have been Jenny's responsibility.

But that cold woman was too conservative in her actions, so Ye Xiu didn't mind assigning her more tasks.

After all, the stronger Longtan becomes, the more benefits he will receive.

Godora was eager to deepen its relationship with Longtan and naturally understood the unspoken meaning, and the two sides reached a tacit consensus.

"Thank you for your contributions to Godora. We will not let down our true partners."

The higher-ups gave Ye Xiu a meaningful look.

These powerful figures have begun to reassess the value of this outsider.

After the holographic image dissipated, Ye Xiu casually tossed the mutated entity to Nagokin:

"Hurry up and send them back to your home planet, lest they get intercepted on the way."

"Understood!" Nagokin solemnly accepted it. Thinking that Dark Star's conspiracy was about to fail, he even found the person in front of him much more agreeable.

Ye Xiu, slumped in his chair, let out a long sigh of relief.

The crisis was a year ahead of schedule, and the entire situation had been completely transformed.

When Dark Star discovers that his painstakingly planned scheme has suddenly collapsed, the scene must be quite spectacular.

Players can also enter the interstellar stage earlier and create more value.

The storyline they experience will take a completely new turn!

Countless lives are being rewritten. Ye Xiu closed his eyes, feeling the long-lost sense of dread, his blood boiling with indescribable excitement.

The square was teeming with people, and the players surrounded Ames completely.

As the character with the second highest popularity across the entire server, after Black Star and Alien Star.

Dragon Throne not only captivated countless players with its breathtakingly long legs, but also possessed a deadly allure due to the aura of its top-tier powerhouse.

The forum even has a uniquely styled organization called the "Dragon Throne Long Legs Fan Club".

Of course, compared to Ye Xiu's fan club names like "Leader's Support Group," it's about the same.

Players usually only see Ames in videos, but this time she suddenly appeared in person at the shelter, instantly causing chaos throughout the entire settlement.

Excitedly, a large number of players spread the word, some pulling their friends and others dragging their companions, and flocked to see this legendary figure.

Although many people were captivated by her long, jade-like legs, everyone tacitly maintained a safe distance.

After all, let's not even talk about the fact that the game doesn't have any bizarre features like "taking off your pants" or "licking NPCs".

Just watching Ames casually flatten a few players who tried to stick to her, the others obediently backed away.

Nobody wants to lose experience points for no reason!

This is a ruthless character who can crush planets with his bare hands!

If she sneezes and razes the starting village to the ground, everyone will be sleeping in space.

Ames looked around at the sea of ​​players with great interest; these cosmic creatures known as "Outsiders" were indeed peculiar.

Even though they had never met her before, everyone seemed to know her; their enthusiasm was comparable to that of a celebrity fan meeting.

She always felt that the way these guys looked at her was like they were visiting a rare animal in a zoo.

As the energy field swept across the crowd, she discovered that these extraordinary individuals had no unusual physical structure.

But just a few seconds after the people who had been smashed turned into white light and disappeared, their life force reappeared in the distance.

This ability to revive on the spot is more interesting than Aroshia's mechanical life form.

Although these superhumans are practically weak in combat, if they truly possess immortality...

A thought flashed through Ames's mind, and she shook her head with a smile.

Given her current level, she doesn't need to care too much about these things, but it's not bad to keep them as a source of amusement.

After a brief observation, Ames flew past the crowd toward the pre-arranged outpost on the alien planet.

The sound of camera shutters clicking filled the square, and snapshots from all angles instantly went viral on the forum.

If it weren't for the game's anti-exposure mechanism, some die-hard fans would probably have shown up on the spot by depleting their health bar to zero.

"I didn't expect the real Dragon Throne to be even cooler than the video!"

"Mom, I'm in love!"

"Can't you guys be a little more dignified? Learn from me how loyal I am. Lord Fordring is my forever favorite!"

Aside from the fans who are frantically taking screenshots, hardcore gamers have already started analyzing the situation:

"How come a top-tier NPC like Dragon Throne is appearing on a newbie planet? The version progression must be wrong!"

"Didn't you read the latest card description? The hidden keywords for the Alien faction already hinted at it."

"No wonder they're an organization that can rely on Longtan; they can even get a big shot like that to come."

Indeed, the alien mercenary group already had an aura of prestige due to the name of Longtan, coupled with the fatal attraction of Ames herself.

Ye Xiu's camp managed to break through the encirclement on the newbie planet.

After all, who wouldn't want to get closer to this legendary mature woman?

"But with the Dragon Throne personally taking action, does this mean the catastrophe is about to escalate?"

"Surely not, why would she need to intervene in such a beginner-level storyline?"

The discussion on the forum intensified, with everyone feeling that there was going to be a major development in the main storyline.

After all, Ames has always been a walking headline generator; wherever she appears, the world is bound to be turned upside down.

Ye Xiu, who has been the subject of much discussion as a result, is currently being wildly sought after by players on Aquamarine Star.

Being able to invite such a person to maintain order is an absolute boost to the prestige of our newbie village.

Newbies on other planets are probably going to have their lemon trees stripped bare.

Nagokin acted decisively, personally boarding the ship to escort the alien Primarch straight to Godora's home planet.

Feeling relaxed after finishing his business, Ye Xiu strolled towards the mercenary group's base, pondering his next steps as he walked.

It will take some time for Godora to develop an antidote, but that's not a problem for Ye Xiu at all.

After all, this guy is the kind of person who can sit calmly on the fishing platform even when his fishing rod is dragged away while he's fishing.

"At most, wait a month or two. Even if those Dark Star people are still causing trouble, they won't be able to stir up any big waves."

Ye Xiu kicked away the pebbles at his feet, calculating the upcoming gap in his schedule.

With the Dragon Throne, this great Buddha, guarding Aquamarine, he wasn't worried about the safety of his lair.

If Dark Star dares to provoke even Ames, then he really has a death wish.

With over four million innars in his pocket, the plan to build a new interstellar branch base suddenly became clear.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the shelter, Ye Xiu smiled.

With a ready-made building structure and readily available players, it would be a disservice to his reputation as a shrewd businessman if he didn't pull off some big moves.

As soon as Ye Xiu stepped into the base's main hall, the overwhelming noise made him pause.

The players around the card table were beaming with excitement, while the cadres stood motionless in front of Ames, like students being watched by their homeroom teacher.

Qi Peijia rushed over as if he were a savior, and whispered, "If you hadn't come, these kids would have lost their underwear to the players."

Dragon Throne twirled a metal playing card between his fingers, observing with interest the lively, unusual people filling the room.

Seeing Ye Xiu approach, he casually showed him the cards.

A cartoonish skull graffiti is prominently displayed in the center of the Ace of Hearts.

"These little things you've raised," Amos flicked her finger, and the metal card spun and nailed into the card table.

"It's much more interesting than some old relics."

……

Rewind to an hour earlier. Somewhere on Aquamarine Star, at the secret outpost of the Dark Star infiltration team.

"Strange, those aliens left more than half a month ago, and they suddenly returned today. I wonder what they're up to."

The monitor was chewing gum and switching satellite images when he suddenly felt a jolt as if he had been electrocuted.

He rubbed his eyes hard, his nose almost touching the screen, and checked the surveillance footage more than twenty times. Suddenly, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Holy crap! Dragon Throne Ames?! That Valkyrie who used to bowl our mothership like a bowling ball!"

The intelligence room erupted into chaos.

The surveillance technician, his pants nearly soaked with fear, stumbled into the captain's office: "Boss! Something terrible has happened!"

"The Dragon Throne has appeared?!" Degulish's coffee cup shattered into eight pieces.

My Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and it felt like I'd been punched in the face.

The intelligence footage from twenty minutes ago was still flashing on the holographic screen.

The vice commander stared at the figure with long purple hair in the video, and the hairs on the back of his head stood on end.

Why would this interstellar tyrant suddenly visit the Garden Galaxy?

Although she has always maintained neutrality, it would be dangerous if she were to be won over by those alien bastards.

The intelligence chief wiped away cold sweat and analyzed: "Judging from Longtan's recent movements, he is most likely here to conduct a scouting operation."

"Look at her, leisurely strolling around Aquamarine Star. She didn't even go to the Godora government building. I guess she's just here for sightseeing and taking photos."

"Bullshit! That crazy woman blows things up wherever she goes, how could she be just on vacation?" Degulish cursed under his breath, but he was secretly relieved.

After all, no matter how powerful a Super A-level expert is, they can't resolve interstellar disputes with their fists, right?

These days, wars rely on fleets and strategies.

He gulped down a mouthful of ice water to calm himself, then slammed his fist on the table and ordered, "Tell all the brothers on Aquamarine to act like cowards! That star region is a forbidden zone; nobody should go there and risk offending us!"

"Boss, we never planned to touch Aquamarine Star in the first place," the intelligence chief muttered with a bitter face.

The scene of the fleet we sent last time being turned into space junk by aliens is still fresh in my mind.

"By the way, how's the plan to plant spies in the alien mercenary group going?"

"They recruited a few freelance mercenaries as undercover agents, but they're not taking on any new recruits lately."

Once they start recruiting more, our pieces can infiltrate their ranks.

The intelligence chief suddenly lowered his voice, "If only we could get in touch with Longtan..."

Degulish chuckled sinisterly: "That's a brilliant move. It infiltrates an alien planet and sneaks into Lontan's lair at the same time."

He patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Keep a close eye on her. That crazy woman might cause trouble at any time."

When the meeting ended, no one took it seriously.

In their view, a lone wolf like Ames couldn't possibly cause any trouble.

No one noticed that the gears of fate had already quietly begun to turn.

The latest novel is first published here!

These guys who think they're in control don't realize they have time left.

Not much anymore.

……

Nagokin's fleet successfully returned to their home planet Godora.

This giant planet is dozens of times larger than Kinmen Star, and dozens of military satellite fortresses surround it like stars around the moon.

A dense orbital defense network completely envelops the home planet.

When the transport ship docked at the spaceport, senior officials of the War Bureau, who had received advance notice, were already waiting at the berth with a large number of accompanying personnel.

Nago Kong was surrounded by people as soon as he stepped out of the hatch.

"What is the status of the sample?"

"The process remained stable throughout."

"Head to the Research Bureau immediately!" The silver-haired official in charge waved his hand decisively, and two superhumans wearing Cataclysmic-level badges immediately stood on either side of Nagojin.

The twelve star ring orbits leading to the experimental base are now under full lockdown.

Such stringent security measures are difficult even for the governor to match when traveling.

After passing through multiple layers of verification before entering the core laboratory, Nagokin finally handed the sealed box over to the research team, who were wearing protective suits.

These experts, who have undergone seven rounds of background checks, will conduct their research under the protection of a triple energy barrier.

All data is directly connected to the highest council via a quantum-encrypted channel.

As a key contact, Nagokin was granted special permission to remain in the observation room.

After enduring nine long hours under the watchful eyes of four fully armed soldiers, they finally received a preliminary report.

Experimental results confirmed that this wriggling black gelatinous substance was the core carrier of the mutated virus!

"With this thing in hand, the antidote development cycle can be shortened by at least 80%!"

The chief researcher's voice trembled even through his protective mask.

Nagokin finally breathed a sigh of relief—his biggest fear was that the sample Ye Xiu had given him was a fake.

"Well done." The silver-haired official rarely smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes forming a chrysanthemum shape.

"But to be honest, this time it was all thanks to that mercenary."

"I'm just a gofer," Nagokin said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

The thought that the fate of an entire civilization was in the hands of a foreign mercenary still seems absurd to him.

The official's smile vanished abruptly: "The news must be kept secret; we absolutely cannot let Dark Star detect anything."

He then pulled up a holographic star map, saying, "Strategic analysis shows that if we allow them to continue releasing the virus..."

Our economic system will collapse within two years, and at least thirty colonies will be out of control.

The red area in the holographic projection continued to expand, sending chills down Nagokin's spine.

It was precisely because they foresaw this apocalyptic scenario that when Ye Xiu appeared with the sample, the entire high-ranking officials of the War Bureau nearly smashed the conference table.

"What's even more interesting is that Long Tan is standing behind that kid," the official suddenly lowered his voice.

"Ames personally endorsed him; if we can use this to make contact..."

He suddenly pressed down hard on Nagokin's shoulder. "I heard you two are getting along well? Keep it up! Ideally, you should become sworn brothers!"

Nago's forehead veins throbbed, and his knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists.

"Believe it or not, I'll show you a friendship on a catastrophe level right now!"

The official silently took two steps back to create a safe distance, and tactically coughed as he said:

"Just kidding to lighten the mood. But seriously, it's never a bad thing to deepen personal relationships."

……

After nearly a month of intensive construction, the construction of the sub-base is nearing completion.

The players worked day and night to finally complete the renovation of the main city of the shelter.

Today, the main urban area is surrounded by thick city walls, and a brand-new cable system has been laid inside.

Furthermore, the energy core has been upgraded to a stable interplanetary-class high-energy reactor.

Abundant energy supplies the protective shield covering the entire city, as well as the electromagnetic orbital defense array arranged in a hexagonal star pattern.

On the day of its completion, this core area was officially named "Alien Base One".

The seven surrounding citadels are several times the size of the main city and still use the old name "Terminator Shelter".

With a defense system far exceeding the technological level of Aquamarine, this steel fortress remained unmoved even when besieged by a coalition of six nations.

This distinct urban layout, with its clear distinction between the inner and outer parts, laid a solid foundation for the development of the alien mercenary group on Aquamarine.

Thanks to ample funding, most of the equipment at the base was purchased directly.

This "pay-to-win" strategy greatly shortened the construction cycle, allowing Ye Xiuteng to develop and synthesize two new superpowers.

The practical [Electromagnetic Pulse] and the protective [Basic Energy Shield] are perfectly suited to the current spending power of players.

Now that more and more players are breaking through the level 60 threshold, they are beginning to slow down their leveling pace after completing their first racial evolution.

Although experience gains have been temporarily reduced, players' wallets are getting fuller day by day.

The inar gradually became the mainstream currency.

Despite the limited overall consumption level, these two basic superpower cards alone are quite popular.

In the last thirty days, it has brought Ye Xiu 380,000 in revenue, which is a good start.

During this period, the situation on Aquamarine Star has been relatively stable, and even the turmoil on Godora has not affected it.

With the second phase of the alienation crisis under control, players' main quest progress is steadily increasing.

On the surface, everything seemed calm, but Ye Xiu knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

The unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard—Godora announced that she had developed an antidote!

Nagokin hurriedly returned with the secret medicine and headed straight for Ye Xiu.

"This is an experimental antidote developed based on the sample you provided. Aquamarine has been selected as the first pilot site." He pulled up the encrypted file and handed it over.

A quick glance at the documents revealed a glint of insight in Ye Xiu's eyes: "Interesting!"

"The research team discovered that the alien progenitor has a special radiation band."

Nagokin pointed to the holographic projection and explained, "This ring-shaped device can interfere with radiation frequencies."

This weakens the original organism's control over the infected, making the berserk state during the illness more manageable.

Ye Xiu nodded in understanding: "A range of suppression covering a radius of tens of kilometers is a million times more effective than injections."

The previously strained inhibitor production capacity problem has finally seen a turnaround.

"The other is an injectable antidote." Nagokin switched the scene, revealing a tube of milky-white gel. "It directly destroys the molecular structure of the alien organism."

Looking at the molecular model in the data, Ye Xiu's pupils contracted slightly: "Finally, this is what we've been waiting for."

The mutated entity has the ability to devour energy, and conventional attack methods are of little effect on it.

Its regenerative ability is terrifying; it can make a comeback as long as any remaining active tissue remains.

This specially formulated injectable is a deadly poison that can disrupt the stable structure at the molecular level.

Like toppling dominoes, it triggers a chain reaction of collapse, eradicating the consciousness of the alienated original from its very source.

As for the second antidote, it is the ultimate weapon to truly end this disaster!

Ye Xiu tapped the table with his finger. "The most urgent task is to locate the mutated original body of Aquamarine Star."

"Don't worry, the research department has also developed a special detector!" Nagokin pulled out a palm-sized device.

"The coordinates can be locked as long as you stay within a 2,000-meter radius of the mother body for 10 seconds."

However, due to time constraints, this level of precision is the best we can achieve at the moment.

Ye Xiu examined the device, which resembled a radiation detector: "Although its sensing range is limited, it's better than finding a needle in a haystack. The design looks quite simple, doesn't it?"

"Once the core principles are cracked, mass production will be easy," Nagokin said with a wry smile.

"The only problem is that the cost of consumables is a bit high."

"Enough is enough!"

Ye Xiu immediately made the decision: "I will immediately dispatch the superhuman forces and disperse them to various continents to conduct a thorough search."

"Wouldn't it be more efficient to use a spacecraft for high-altitude scanning?" Nagokin asked.

Ye Xiu waved his hand in denial: "The detector covers a 2,000-meter spherical sensing area. As the altitude increases, the actual scanning range will shrink to the size of a pinhead."

The spaceship needs to fly close to the ground to be effective, and it must maintain a snail's pace.

Don't forget that the mother structure can also move. Only by deploying ground troops in coordination with the armies of the six nations can we achieve comprehensive coverage.

Nagokin opened his mouth, though he felt the plan was somewhat time-consuming and laborious.

But unable to find a reason to refute it, he could only nod in agreement.

Watching Ye Xiu begin to allocate manpower, Nagojin felt a mix of emotions.

The situation of being passively attacked has finally been reversed. Thanks to the three-piece set developed by Godora, humanity has taken the initiative for the first time!

"This tug-of-war should come to an end." A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes.

Two days later, the alienation suppression devices spread throughout the shelters and cities of the six countries began to show results.

In the recent outbreak of the disease, infected individuals still experience emotional fluctuations.

But as long as you have a strong will, you can control your impulses.

Survivors who have endured hardships possess an iron will that they have in abundance.

The dark cloud of death that had hung over the people has finally dissipated. Although the crisis is not yet over, the spark of hope has been lit.

Bennett and the heads of state breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Commander Godora, unaware that the true hero was working behind the scenes.

"These people are thanking the wrong people," Nagokin said with a wry smile, touching his nose. He glanced at the confidentiality agreement but ultimately said nothing more.

From the player's perspective, the plot unfolds in a simple and straightforward manner.

Godora suddenly unleashed some advanced technology, causing the main storyline progress bar to visibly slow down.

Just when everyone thought a period of inactivity was coming, the alien mercenary group dropped a bombshell mission that completely blew up the forum!

"This reward is outrageous!"

"A full ten thousand inars! My goodness!"

"They can actually influence the main storyline? Is this the final battle?"

Seeing the dazzling list of rewards on the task panel, millions of players went into a frenzy.

A million experience points is already an astronomical figure, not to mention the bonus C-grade [Lightning Armor] set of special ability cards.

In the scramble for mission slots, all the major outposts were packed with people.

When they learned that they needed to purchase the Primarch Tracker from the faction shop.

Players immediately opened the shop page, where the descriptions of the newly listed items were clearly displayed.
