Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

"It's simple, there are parasites in the company."

"Such a large faction can't be completely clean. Although I've heard Silver Branch say that, I still can't believe they're so audacious."

"But I remember that the price of slaves was very low. They are not even willing to pay such a small cost. They not only rob passenger ships and merchant ships of their wealth, but also turn people into slaves... I can't understand it. The cost is also high. Is the extra profit really worth the extra risk?"

"Forget it, even geniuses can't comprehend the diversity of life."

"How arrogant! I'll send this message home right now and have them check all the data."

"Don't rush. If it happens once, it will happen again. This kind of thing can't just happen in one place. Taking action now will alert the person behind the scenes and give them time to deal with their tricks."

"After all... can you guarantee that no one in your family will take this benefit? Just wait and see."

"Are you going to take action personally? If we use the name of genius and our influence, we can definitely find the person behind this and make them pay the price!"

"I will make a move, but not now, and it won't be that simple. I'll drag a few more people down with me first. For now, let's observe the process."

The pirate ship carrying slaves sailed to a peninsula in the southern hemisphere of Kasperin-Atat.

"Zhu... forgot that Zhu Xing is gone."

"Is there anything I can do for you, sir? I can help you with that too."

Dongfang Qiqing has returned to her original appearance. With the help of the Nightmare Ring, just like Lin Yi, no one can see her at all.

"I just wanted to ask where Zhu Xing is going. Zhu Xing has always been the one to find out this information before."

"I understand. I will be handling Little Star Chaser's affairs for the next period of time."

Dongfang Qiqing is using her phone to ask Zhu Xing what he usually does.

"You two seem to be getting along quite well, and it hasn't been that long."

"Hehe~ Only girls understand girls best."

'No one can resist a gift offensive!'

"They even learned this."

Before long, Dongfang Qiqing had roughly understood Kasperin Yate VIII by referring to the information, and then summarized it in a concise way.

“Sir, there are currently three forces entrenched in Kaspelin Yate VIII, but the intensity of the war is being deliberately kept at a relatively low level.”

"The most powerful of them is the local government forces, who have received a lot of aid from interstellar space and funding from the Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"On paper, they are fully capable of wiping out the remaining two forces."

"But instead of doing that, they joined the other two forces in waging a slave war of armed slaves."

"Whether it's impossible or there are other hidden reasons remains unknown."

"Another force is the expansionist power of the infamous 'Iymanika' warlords, who are not content with their existing territory and are encroaching on the surrounding weaker neighbors."

"However, it seems that they have encountered some trouble at their base, and they are reluctant to give up this place, so they are at an impasse."

"The last remaining force consists of the remnants of 'Alterac Valley'."

"Their civilization was destroyed in the star's core, which happened a century ago. Even if a civilization is destroyed, there will always be some survivors."

Chapter 27 Receiving pay at the drill ground; no armor allowed.

"They live together and multiply, and even today they still dream of restoring their kingdom. They are the weakest force. And that's where this ship is headed now."

"However, this weakest force holds an overwhelming advantage in the current slave agent war."

Dongfang Qiqing took the information given to her by Zhu Xing and began to read it aloud.

"Star core? Tell me more about it."

Lin Yi was somewhat curious.

“A star nucleus emerges from a star, polluting it; the polluted light and radiation kill all animals.”

"And their civilization was not advanced enough to not need to rely on stars, and being in a remote location with little value, their civilization went extinct."

"At the same time, because it is located in a remote star region, no one has dealt with the star core to this day. It has only been marked as a high-risk area on the company's star map to warn occasional passersby not to approach it."

"Only kill animals? What about plants?"

"The information provided by Zhuxing said that the plants were unharmed."

"It's really quite rare. I'll record it as part of my itinerary and take a look when I have time." Lin Yi was quite curious about this star core and wanted to study its judgment mechanism.

"Let's see how the survivors of Alterac plan to rebuild their kingdom. I have a feeling we're about to encounter something very interesting. This kind of inspiration has never been wrong."

Even those who remember have appeared.

Lin Yi's equipment was almost entirely designed to counter the Flowing Light Memory Court and the Destruction Legion, and his skills were also geared towards this purpose. Naturally, he discovered the hidden Flowing Light Memory Court members.

However, the hidden Memory Master must have also discovered that he and Dongfang Qiqing, the Nightmare Mirage Ring was not only based on the Cloud Chant Mirage of the Wisdom Master, but also had some of the techniques of the Memory Court.

The one who remembers in the Flowing Light Memories Pavilion is, to put it bluntly, truly insane. He's willing to do anything and provoke anyone for the sake of cherished memories, even more so than a honey badger.

The reason I was able to rob Liuguang Yiting so badly during my last visit to Shanjiantian was entirely due to the help of the various gods that Yiting had offended.

Everyone was throwing punches and kicks at him, but after he took the blame, they all came to beat him up.

These memory-makers seem to have lost their hormones after transforming into memes, and they've also lost the emotional balance that a normal life should have, and they don't know fear.

Regardless of the past:

They attempted to steal General Xianzhou's memories.

They attempted to steal the memories of the company's directors.

They attempted to steal his memories.

They attempted to steal the original doctor's memories.

They attempted to peer into the memories of the Void Commander.

They attempted to steal the memories of the Venerable Master through the Black Tower.

These guys are truly lawless and reckless, always pushing the boundaries, only doing big jobs, and frequently venturing into dangerous and perilous places.

The pirates' slave ships were ready to land and dock, and a closer look revealed that their destination was a vast island.

The outer perimeter is surrounded by high walls, densely packed with weaponry, and heavily guarded military bases, with towering walls firmly encircling the world within.

Its grandeur is so great that it can be called a megastructure. It is something that a civilization on a planet could not possibly build. A civilization that is qualified to go to interstellar space would not build such a laborious and thankless structure.

The military base contains numerous living quarters, with a towering tower at its very center. "Towering into the clouds" doesn't even begin to describe it; this tower is 500 million meters tall, its tip penetrating the planet's atmosphere and reaching into space.

Lin Yi expressed his approval of the tower, saying, "It's a very magnificent tower, but such a large structure in this chaotic place is practically a target, isn't it?"

"Sir, it seems these pirates trust them a lot, otherwise they wouldn't have sailed their ship here."

"Hmm, and there's something strange about that too. This force of Alterac remnants probably has the greatest need for slaves."

"The war, given its current intensity, could not possibly consume such a large population. Where are the other slaves? We haven't seen a single one yet."

"Yes, what do they need so many slaves for? And where did they put them?"

Dongfang Qiqing was also a little curious; no one would do such a strange thing without some kind of profit motive.

Even if slaves are cheap, they still cost money. Even if slaves are given away for free, it still costs money to keep them.

The pirate ship finally came to a safe stop, and the pirate leader took the lead and leaped out.

"Hehehe~ Prince Ers, this is the last batch of goods as agreed. I have delivered the full amount as promised. It's time to pay the balance."

"Hmm, not bad. I trust your reputation. There's no need for inspection. As agreed, one-third will be paid in credits, one-third in precious metals, and one-third in equivalent military equipment."

"The credits will be transferred to our previously used private account shortly. The precious metals will be shipped up soon, and Captain Blackbeard can send people to count them. As for the weapons..."

"What, Prince Ers, are you going to back out?" The pirate leader became wary.

Prince Ers shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant. The king said that every batch of slaves you brought arrived on time and that you kept your promise not to use inferior goods."

"Therefore, the king has decided that you may choose the agreed-upon batch of weapons and ammunition yourself."

As he said this, Prince Ers held his head high as if it were a great blessing.

"Really? Please thank King Dekala for me!!"

Pirate leader Blackbeard was overjoyed, at least outwardly.

"Of course it's true, but our weapons and ammunition depot is a heavily guarded location, and we can't easily let people know its whereabouts. You understand that, Black Scythe Leader, right?"

Prince Ers patiently guided

"I understand, but how can we choose without seeing the actual items?" The pirate leader hesitated, sensing that something was amiss.

"Our wise and great king has also considered this. He said that he cannot let his friends down, so he has ordered all the weapon samples to be moved to the training ground."

Prince Ers paused briefly.

"Captain Blackbeard can take his men there to select from the samples. Rest assured, we guarantee that the actual product will be exactly the same as the sample."

"I see. You've been very thoughtful. Please thank King Dekala for me, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

No obvious problems were found, and the desire brought about by his choice of weapons made Blackbeard intentionally ignore some minor issues.

"Yes, there is a chance, there is a chance. Not only that, the king has also instructed us to prepare a sumptuous banquet. You can enjoy it to your heart's content first, and then go and choose your due reward."

Prince Ers was extremely hospitable, and his attitude was impeccable.

Having witnessed the entire scene, Dongfang Qiqing felt something was amiss. "Sir, I have a feeling something's wrong here?"

Chapter 28 The Degraded Light Cone: "Remnants of the Past"

"There is indeed a problem. Prince Ers put it another way: tomorrow at the drill ground to collect military pay, armor is not allowed."

"Oh!! I see." Even if you don't know the reference, you can understand the meaning.

Moreover, as a meme related to the Starry Sky, it was fine when it was still a game, but where did all those memes go after it became a real-world phenomenon?

The universe is vast and boundless; perhaps similar planets exist where similar events occur, creating similar memes?

"Let's skip the banquet. My men do shady business. I don't trust them to eat and drink on someone else's turf." Captain Blackbeard's intelligence once again prevailed.

"It would be better to collect my pay sooner, then I can take my men and leave to have some fun. It'll be good for both of us."

Okay, so it turns out you couldn't wait.

"Alright then, since Captain Blackbeard has made his decision, I won't insist. This waiter here will guide you; follow him and you'll find the training ground."

"I still need to go back to report to King Dekala, so I won't see you off in person. Let's cooperate again next time."

"Yes, brothers. Some of you stay on the ship, the rest of you come with me, let's go pick out some tough guys with good firepower."

Blackbeard was quite shrewd; he knew he couldn't let everyone disembark.

Although he was in a hurry, he paused after taking a quick step to say goodbye to Prince Ers.

Prince Ers takes his leave.

Blackbeard was still polite.

Perhaps the previous transactions had built up some trust between the two parties.

The credits had just been transferred, and the agreed-upon precious metals were still being counted and hadn't even been moved yet, when the space pirates drove all the slaves down to deliver the goods.

Prince Ers ordered his personal guards to take all the slaves away, while he led the rest of the men toward the tower, seemingly to return and report, as he had said.

The pirate leader, along with a group of men, followed the ever-smiling waiter to the training ground.

The black-bearded captain was also careful and didn't take everyone with him. He specifically instructed the crew members who stayed behind not to disembark under any circumstances until he returned.

"I suspect that the descendants of the Alterac Valley who have established a warlord regime will send people to try and lure the people out, Miss Dongfang—"

"You can just call me Qi Qing."

"Okay, Qi Qing, which side should we watch? Should we stay here and watch it, or chase after them to the training ground? We should be able to see a good show from either side."

"Sir, we probably don't need to choose anymore, they've come out."

"Wow, I guessed wrong. They've got some tricks up their sleeves. Now I'm even more interested in these warlords."

Several people disembarked from the pirate ship, each dragging two people down with them. Soon after, a group of Alterac warriors boarded the ship to take over.

The group that came down left arm in arm with the remaining people of Alterac Valley.

"There are so many undercover agents among such a small group of people," Dongfang Qiqing exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly thought of the training ground.
