The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Countless buildings of different shapes rose from the ground, including cyberpunk-style luminous prism towers, vine-covered crystal palaces sculpted by elven civilizations, and circular floating fortresses built by mechanical civilizations.

The architectural styles of countless civilizations blend and collide here, yet they do not appear chaotic at all; instead, they outline a unique beauty belonging to the diverse interstellar world.

The streets are a microcosm of all the races in the universe.

Interstellar nobles draped in shimmering starlight veils, mechanical races whose bodies are covered in crystalline armor, winged races with lithe figures and wings draped in stardust, and honest and robust interstellar beastmen...

Lu Qianwei felt like he was about to suffer from face blindness. Who would have thought that he would one day faint at the sight of aliens?

Having found a human settlement and seeing the normal pedestrians on the street, Lu Qianwei finally got a chance to catch his breath.

This street is the most humane area in the central district. Both sides are lined with neat and elegant low-rise shops. The bluestone pavement is clean and smooth. On both sides are green trees transplanted from the original planet. The branches and leaves are lush, and when the breeze blows, the dappled shadows fall.

The streets are lined with small shops, including Chinese restaurants, specialty snack stalls, and tea houses. Wisps of smoke mingled with the aroma of food, completely shedding the cold, high-tech feel of the interstellar metropolis and filling the air with the familiar warmth of everyday life.

Lu Qianwei casually chose a riverside home-style restaurant with an elegant storefront. The interior was simply and warmly decorated, with clean and tidy wooden tables and chairs. The window seats offered a view of the babbling brook in the distance, making for a particularly pleasant scene.

He found an empty seat by the window, casually ordered a few authentic home-style dishes and a bowl of clear soup noodles, and waited quietly for the food to be served, enjoying this rare moment of leisure and comfort.

Not long after, the shop door was gently pushed open, and a series of light and agile footsteps accompanied by crisp laughter drifted in.

Lu Qianwei glanced up casually, but his gaze froze the next second.

Two figures, one old and one young, walked in through the door; it was Horace and Lyra, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

Leila is no longer the naive and awkward young woman she once was.

Wearing a simple yet sophisticated light luxury interstellar casual outfit, her hair was neatly styled, her eyes were bright and lively, and she exuded a calm and confident aura. She was no longer the little girl who was cramped and struggling financially in her old, second-hand spaceship.

She was holding Horace's arm, chatting and laughing with her grandfather, her gaze casually sweeping across the store, when it fell on that familiar figure by the window, and all the words suddenly caught in her throat.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Eyes facing each other.

Leila's pupils contracted sharply, thinking she was seeing things. After checking several times, she finally confirmed that it was Lu Qianwei!

It would be impossible for her not to contact this friend who had brought about such a huge change in her life.

After all, as her net worth has soared, the word 'friend' has become a distant memory for her.

I never imagined that I would run into him at the casual restaurant downstairs from my own home!

She was stunned for only two seconds before a huge wave of joy swept over Lyra.

She released the old man's arm and strode towards Lu Qianwei: "Mr. Lu!!"

What are you doing here?!

Horace, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with joy, and he slowly followed.

He only learned after the media exposure last year that his granddaughter was actually a hidden tycoon.

Over the years, he's been saying how strange it is, what kind of boss would be so kind as to give Leila such great benefits?

She thought that Boss Lu had taken a liking to her, so she asked Leila to invite the boss to her home to see how things were going. Leila kept being coy and making excuses.

When the truth came out last year, Horace learned from Lyra what they had done back then.

Therefore, in a sense, Lu Qianwei was indeed his savior and the big shot who changed their lives.

Looking at the energetic young woman before him, Lu Qianwei smiled gently, "Long time no see~"

"Since I had some free time, I decided to come and check out the City of a Thousand Stars. I never expected to run into you all here."

He glanced at Leila up and down, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Judging by your energy, you must be doing quite well?"

These words instantly touched on Lyra's happy feelings. Her previous excitement faded, replaced by an undisguised pride and smugness.

She straightened her back, her eyebrows raised, and said, "Hmm! More than just good!"

Mr. Lu, thanks to you, I acquired that commercial and residential land in Linhe Third District a long time ago, which completely turned my life around!

Speaking of her businesses, Lyra's eyes sparkled as she rattled off her confidence: "All the land plots I acquired for 700 million Star Coins have now more than doubled in value!"

The entire riverside commercial district is full of prime commercial spaces, and all my street-facing shops have been rented out.

Moreover, all five years' rent was paid in a lump sum. Just from collecting rent, I've already recouped my principal long ago, and now my net profit is almost 1.4 billion Star Coins!

"Now I'm completely carefree and have nothing to worry about. I'm definitely a landlady in the Midwest!"

She was full of a sense of accomplishment and continued to share her recent situation: "Hehe, now I have unified and organized all the shops and categorized them for investment promotion."

They also opened a fresh produce market, an interstellar snack street, cultural and creative shops, and an interstellar traveler's inn. The entire area is always packed with customers.

Moreover, on my private hillside by the stream, I had someone plant fruits, vegetables, flowers, and greenery, and built a small courtyard; the environment is exceptionally comfortable.

"Now I own a house and property in the central district. I don't have to work as hard as before. Every day I just stroll around the streets, manage my property, and collect rent. Life couldn't be more comfortable!"

As Lu Qianwei listened to her detailed and knowledgeable sharing, his smile deepened, and he nodded slightly: "Not bad, you know how to seize opportunities and manage them well. That's because you've worked hard!"

This isn't really thanks to me!

“Hey, how can this not be thanks to you?” Hollis stepped forward and gently grasped Lu Qianwei’s arm with his aged hand.

"If it weren't for your help to Leila back then, how could we have such a good life today?"

You are truly our benefactor, and we will remember this kindness for the rest of our lives.

Before Lu Qianwei could refuse, he enthusiastically pulled him out of the shop, his eyes full of sincerity: "Haha, what a coincidence to run into you today."

Please come to our home for a meal!

I've been wanting to invite you over for a while, but I couldn't find you.

Unable to resist the old man's enthusiasm, Lu Qianwei was quickly taken to the car by the two men and flew to their home courtyard.

"Hehehe, you chat with my granddaughter first, I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some fresh vegetables and make you a few nice dishes!" Hollis walked briskly towards the vegetable garden.

"My family's small courtyard is full of fresh fruits and vegetables, all of which are taken care of by my grandfather and me. There are also quite a few alien specialties among them."

You're guaranteed to have a wonderful taste after you try it...

Laila chattered on and on, while Lu Qianwei listened attentively, nodding frequently and asking questions or offering advice.

The dinner lasted a long time. Lu Qianwei took out a case of fine liquor from his spatial storage and got the two of them drunk before the battle ended.

The next morning, before the two had even sobered up, Lu Qianwei had already decided to leave without saying goodbye.

However, before leaving, he still gave them some things, the most valuable of which were two passes to various universes.

After discovering that there were no more worlds to explore, Lu Qianwei returned to the Ling Cage world to break through his limits.

Three months later, the power of the fifth level dissipated, and Lu Qianwei could clearly feel that his understanding of spatial abilities had taken another step forward.

And it seems that dimensional space can hold living things?

With this in mind, Lu Qianwei went out and bought some chickens, ducks, and fish to begin his experiment.

The fish were indeed put into the aquarium, and when they came out, the little fish were still swimming happily in the tank.

I examined the chicken and duck again; they confirmed that living creatures could indeed survive inside.

However, if the time is extended, chickens and ducks will still suffocate and die from lack of oxygen.

Lu Qianwei decided not to continue the experiment at this point. What would be the point of his space-based living beings?

It seems unnecessary!

Unable to think of any other use, he quickly decided to go out for a big meal, then return to absorb marrow crystals to replenish the system's energy, before continuing his journey to various time and space in search of opportunities...

Chapter 237 Zombie World

When Lu Qianwei appeared on a rooftop, it was noisy below.

Lu Qianwei heard everything clearly: the car crash, the cries, the screams, and even the gunshots…

He went up to the rooftop and looked down. Good heavens, this was another world overrun by zombies.

He's experienced this kind of world at least eight or ten times.

"Emm~ Then stay and have some fun."

Since the portal has already been opened, going back directly would be a waste of energy.

In a low-dimensional world, the portal could be opened for a very long time. Lu Qianwei thought about it and decided to help as many people as he could, treating it as a game.

After sealing the time portal with nanomaterials, Lu Qianwei took out two sharp knives and headed downstairs.

Just two flights of stairs down, a drooling, half-rotten zombie lunged out from around the corner.

Before the shadowy figure could pounce, Lu Qianwei swung his knife horizontally with his left hand, cleanly decapitating the victim. Black and red blood splattered across half the wall. Without pausing for a moment, he continued walking straight down.

The further down you go, the more traces of zombies you find, but none of them survive Lu Qianwei's single strike before they all perish in the Northwest.

A zombie was ramming against the security door in the third-floor corridor, and the door hinges were creaking and deformed.

Without hesitation, Lu Qianwei went over and saw the other person off.

"If you want to live, go to the rooftop. I've already cleared out the zombies in the stairwell."

Lu Qianwei called out in English into the room; whether the people inside heard him or not was none of his concern.

Each floor has survivors hiding and roaming zombies.

Lu Qianwei had already planned to turn this place into a shelter. If he encountered zombies, he would kill them directly, and he would help anyone he met.

As they walked towards the entrance of the apartment building, the dozens of zombies that had been blocking the street were now lured over by the smell of blood and crowded together outside the iron gate.

Even in a narrow place, Lu Qianwei wouldn't be so foolish as to push the door open. He first used his knife to kill 90% of the iron door through the gap before pushing the door open.

Three zombies pounced on him as if they hadn't eaten meat for ten years. As Lu Qianwei dodged to the side, he swung his twin swords left and right, sending three heads flying high into the air.

This scene was witnessed by the five survivors hiding behind the glass of the convenience store at the street corner.

Everyone was thinking to themselves: This is amazing kung fu!

Seeing that the zombies in the neighborhood were almost cleared out by the other side, the five people hiding in the convenience store exchanged glances and decided to cling to the powerful force.

In the apocalypse, only by following the strong can they survive long enough.

Without that courage, they wouldn't have rushed into the convenience store after the apocalypse broke out.

Jack, sporting a long beard, patted his homemade armor, which consisted of cardboard cut from supermarket shelves, layered and wrapped with three turns of transparent tape.

Regardless of its defensive capabilities, its thickness is definitely enough to withstand the scratches of zombies.
