Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"...I guess we can call each other acquaintances, but she helped me a lot."

"Is that so? Actually, An Ran and I are also very close."

OK, we've established contact, so we can communicate normally now.

Zhou Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while.

Zhou Jieyu then asked, "Are you going on a mission?"

"The same to you?"

"more or less."

Pull me up! Pull me up!

What task do you need to complete?

"Any task is fine."

Pull me up! Pull me up!

"Why don't you join our team and play with us?"

Finally getting the answer she wanted, Zhou Jieyu immediately replied, "Okay, okay."

"Let's include her too," Lin Yumo said to the armored young man.

"what?"

The armored young man looked at Zhou Jieyu, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed. There were only 7 people including Zhou Jieyu, which was still within the limit. Since it was the team's main damage dealer who said so, there was no reason to refuse.

call--

Zhou Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Not bad, she's really clever.

"Hey, by the way, do you know a player named Yushang? I think you look a lot like her." Zhou Jieyu, now that she had some free time, called Lin Yumo again through the chat system.

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

Lin Yumo's expression changed slightly, but she still replied, "She is my older sister."

"Wow, your sister is amazing! Why didn't you go leveling up with her? I just saw her at the registration counter; she even helped me out once."

Are you probably the same as me?

Zhou Jieyu thought of it.

Lin Yumo replied, "Actually, we don't get along very well."

"Oh, is that so? Speaking of which, my relationship with my brother isn't very good either. Let me tell you, my brother is super annoying..."

Zhou Jieyu typed incredibly fast, instantly switching into chatterbox mode and starting to talk about leading the charge in the chat box, line by line.

“I feel like…” Lin Yumo paused for a moment, “that you two actually have a pretty good relationship, not as bad as you make it out to be.”

"Really? How could that be? My brother..."

blah blah blah.

Then another long paragraph appeared.

However, after this brief incident, Lin Yumo found the girl who led the escape to be very interesting, and thought that perhaps they could get to know each other.

After that, they recruited another passerby, and once they had a total of 8 people, they accepted the mission.

This player group, with an average level of 27, embarked on a journey to Frost Isle with their employer.

Zhou Jieyu is actually a pretty reliable damage dealer, provided she uses her weapon at long range.

Chapter 07 The Sleeping Worm

Faraway Land Development Company.

That is, the space development company that issued the mission to explore Frost Island.

Frost Island is only 12 light-years away from Relandor. It would only take 3 hours for a mining ship from a distant place to fly there using a hyperspace engine. If it weren't for the fact that the hyperspace engine takes some time to start, it might actually only take 1 hour.

Frost Island is not far from Planet Relandor, located behind the asteroid belt, and has never been a place that many people have ever wanted to go.

……

The meeting point is inside a private airport in a remote place.

Zhou Jieyu and Lin Yumo only realized after they arrived with their teammates that they were not the only team that had accepted the mission.

Looking around, there are a total of 4 teams with 29 people.

It seems that the distant lands have made a big decision; they have their own exclusive mercenaries and have even spent money to hire four teams.

Of these four teams, two are purely player-based, one is purely NPC-based, and the other is a mixed team.

After spending about an hour in the airport, the five mining ships suddenly rose into the slightly gloomy sky.

Upon entering outer space, the hyperspace engine immediately activated. After collecting space rays for a period of time, the field guide sent out a drive signal to increase the reactor's power. The impact generated by the violently reacting reactor caused ripples in the space directly in front of the spaceship. The spaceship then passed through the spacetime ripples and entered hyperspace.

In "Night of the Stars," there is a concept of higher dimensions.

However, in the current version, the only way for players to access the concept of higher dimensions is through the Hyperspace Engine.

Hyperspace travel is not 100% safe.

No one knows exactly how dangerous hyperspace is, so when using a hyperspace engine, the spaceship basically follows a fixed path.

Of course, if you want to use your own life to verify this and contribute to the entire universe, no one will stop you.

If you're lucky enough to find a great shipping route, bro, you're set for life!

However, despite the enormous profits involved, few people were willing to actively explore the waterways.

The risk is too great.

In general, human life is not that important.

There are plenty of people in deep space, so the death of one or two doesn't matter much. However, the exploration ships that perish in hyperspace are far more valuable than human lives.

This means that even if players want to make a fortune by exploring shipping routes, it will be very difficult to achieve.

To get rich, he first needs enough money to buy a spaceship.

Even the most robust spaceship cannot withstand the collapsing particles in hyperspace.

……

Frost Island.

It is a polar planet whose ecology has been completely deteriorated.

It is a rocky planet, and the most abundant elements in its atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. Even in the warmest equatorial regions, the lowest temperature remains around -10 degrees Celsius year-round.

From space, it appears as a cold white expanse, looking quite bleak.

Even such a bleak landscape couldn't stop Zhou Jieyu from taking selfies.

Walk to the window, make a gesture, smile, and take a selfie.

"..."

Lin Yumo's lips twitched.

She still couldn't understand why Zhou Jieyu was so excited. From the moment she received the mission, Zhou Jieyu's mental state had been inexplicably excited.

"Let's go, the NPC is telling us to get on the small spaceship."

"Let's go."

"Okay."

Zhou Jieyu has already posted the photos she just took on the forum.

Oh.

By the way, now that you mention it, it's been a long time since she's done a live stream on the forum.

Zhou Jieyu gained some loyal fans by broadcasting Anran's live stream and the battle between the security department and Chenxing.

Okay, a new live stream is starting.

After turning on the recording function, Zhou Jieyu followed Lin Yumo onto the small spaceship.

They changed into special clothes and followed the main force to the ground of Frost Island.

The rock strata were covered with a thick layer of ice, and even the exposed areas were frozen soil. Everything was a vast expanse of white, which became somewhat monotonous after a while.

"Our target is a bright spot detected by space photography, not far from here. However, based on our exploration, there is a high probability that some special creatures exist on this planet, and we will have to rely on you all then," said Shaya, the person in charge of the Distant Land, in the public channel.

The others immediately agreed.

And so the planet development team set off.

The road ahead was not smooth, but it posed no obstacle for this group of experienced people.

Zhou Jieyu would occasionally turn the camera to record the video. There were quite a few people around, so she couldn't provide commentary, but that wasn't a problem; the dubbing could be done later.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yumo asked, leaning closer to Zhou Jieyu.

"Recording a video."

"Huh? What's so great about recording this? There's not a single beautiful view."

"You should be good at discovering the beauty around you! Yu Mo, don't always have such a long face, it doesn't look good. Life is so interesting, isn't it just making yourself suffer by frowning all day?" Zhou Jieyu advised.

Lin Yumo replied, "Uh... I'm used to it."

She wasn't always frowning; it was mainly because she lost to her sister again recently that she seemed to be under too much pressure.

However, a cold face is indeed Lin Yumo's signature look.

"Just change it once you get used to it, it's not like you can't change it!" Zhou Jieyu kept chattering. "Hey, didn't that stone move just now?"

Zhou Jieyu suddenly stopped and pointed to a protruding rock directly in front of her.

The stone was covered with a thick layer of frost.
