Colonial Suit

The other side of the universe.

Vixerk, the Domain of Specters.

This is a bizarre planet shrouded in black mist, deep blue in color, appearing and disappearing in the dark fog.

The entire planet is riddled with dense holes, like 'cheese'. These holes go straight to the core of the planet, giving Vixerk an unimaginable underground world.

Combined with the hard black shale surface, it constitutes the most distinctive planet in the Domain of Specters. The glorious Vixerk civilization thrives beneath the surface, forming an extremely unique civilization in the universe. The branch of the Specter Star Pirates is also located here.

Li'er had just walked out of a cave carved into a black shale pillar.

Black shale pillars are common giant rock pillars in the underground world, supporting the vast space between the underground and the surface. Therefore, they are extremely large. The Vixerk people carve houses on the rock pillars, forming cities.

However, these things don't have much to do with Li'er. The reason she came here was just a step in joining the Star Pirates.

She needed to undergo a combat assessment by the Star Pirates.

Speaking of which, Star Pirates are different from cosmic mercenaries. The rules are much looser. Not only do they not restrict criminal activities such as robbery and murder, but they also vigorously encourage Star Pirates to do these things. The only requirement is the monthly contribution. Starting from the trainee level, every Star Pirate must hand in a share of their loot every month until they reach the planetary level.

It can be said that this rule essentially separates Star Pirates from cosmic mercenaries. Cosmic mercenaries are paid to maintain discipline. Star Pirates have loose discipline but charge a price.

At first glance, it seems that cosmic mercenaries respect warriors more. But the world is so realistic. For true powerhouses, the less discipline, the better. As for wealth, do they still need to receive wages?

Any advanced warrior can easily plunder astronomical wealth. The only difference is whether they will face retaliation.

Undoubtedly, the Star Pirates are such an organization. It encourages members to plunder and collects a share of their earnings. But it also provides protection to its members. Therefore, in many star fields of the universe, the power of the Star Pirates is much greater than that of cosmic mercenaries. The development momentum is also extremely fierce.

"I didn't expect them to only give you a Meteor Rank 3 status." Salek said, making a buzzing sound from his armor as he walked. "My Lord, my heart is filled with anger right now. Can I kill them?"

"No." Li'er's answer was simple and clear. At the same time, she raised her head and glanced at Salek. "Salek, I want you to remember. It's not X35 anymore. You should learn to endure. Learn to communicate…"

As she spoke, Li'er pointed to the crowded street. She said softly, "Do you see that? We have arrived in a new world. A world without discrimination, a completely free world. A fair and equal world, without any pressure. No one will reject us anymore. No one will dislike us anymore. We, the mutants, will find our paradise in this world."

"Everything is your guidance, my Lord." Salek replied excitedly, ignoring the dense crowd around him and kneeling at Li'er's feet. "Please lead us to continue to prosper!"

"That is my duty." Li'er's expression was calm, and she reached out and touched Salek's armor. Her movements were very gentle, as if a mother was stroking her child, and her eyes revealed a rare gentleness. "So, Salek… what does it matter if we suffer a little grievance now? This is a new beginning, and we must make good use of its value. We will not forget any grievances or accusations. One day… yes, one day…"

Li'er didn't continue, but Salek understood her meaning. He nodded silently and stood behind Li'er.

As in the past hundreds of times, Salek's body was always so upright, like a mountain.

The two walked on the street and soon came to a giant black shale house. A figure was already waiting at the door. It was Murdoch.

As soon as he saw Li'er appear, his eyes lit up, and he rushed to Li'er and knelt on one knee.

"My Lord, you are finally back."

"How is the situation, Murdoch?" Li'er asked softly.

"Everything is ready. The spaceship has docked." Murdoch replied respectfully, his face full of excitement. "The Star Pirate branch has allocated a zone for us. Our people can be settled there."

"Very good, has that zone been surveyed?"

"Not yet. But according to the information I got from the branch, this zone used to be a geothermal energy collection point. It has a sufficient energy supply. My Lord… we are about to rise! With enough energy, your blood pool will expand a hundredfold, and more of our people will be awakened! The prosperity of our race is just around the corner!"

"Wait." Li'er suddenly stopped Murdoch. Then she frowned. "Are you saying… that's a geothermal energy collection point?"

"Yes, my Lord!"

"Then… tell me, Murdoch. Is this geothermal energy collection point important?"

"Very important!" Murdoch replied affirmatively. "I've investigated. This collection point is the most important energy source here. It is related to the energy supply of the entire planet."

"Very good." Hearing Murdoch's answer, Li'er's face did not show any joy, but she calmly asked, "Then tell me. What reason does the Star Pirates have to give us such an important energy collection point? Is it because we have made enough contributions, or because our strength has been recognized?"

"This…" Murdoch also woke up from his excitement. After thinking carefully, it was indeed as Li'er said.

They had just arrived here, so how could they have made any contributions or received any attention? It was already extremely strange for the Star Pirates to allocate this zone to them. But Murdoch had been blinded by profit before, and coupled with the joy of arriving in a new world, he had not noticed such an anomaly.

"Damn…" Murdoch stood up, and in just a moment, he understood the cause and effect. "They are doing this to provoke conflict between us and the locals!"

"But why would they do this? We are just newcomers who have come to seek refuge, and we have not infringed on their interests! They have no motive!"

"Heh heh heh heh…" Li'er suddenly laughed, her voice sharp and full of戾气. She laughed so happily that her whole body was shaking.

"My Lord!?" Murdoch's face changed, and he felt a chill in his heart.

He was too familiar with Li'er. In the hearts of all mutants, Li'er was a perfect goddess. Concentrating all the maternal love and merciful light. However, when Li'er made such laughter, she would change completely. Decisive in killing and without mercy.

At this time, Li'er also stopped laughing. Her whole person seemed to have changed, exuding a bone-chilling coldness from the inside out. Standing on the tall black shale pillar, she quietly looked at the vast plain under her feet. She opened her red lips slightly. "Motive… the motive is that we were able to survive in T6 and rescue so many Star Pirates…"

"Salek…"

"My Lord!" Salek knelt on one knee with a crash, shaking the ground.

"You say…" Li'er stretched out her jade finger and gently rubbed her forehead. Her tone was calm. "Am I too kind? So much so that even these clowns want to play tricks in front of me? Do they really think… that they can stop the rise of our race with just these things?"

"They are seeking their own death!" Salek responded loudly. Finally, he grunted, his tone revealing layers of killing intent. "My Lord, please allow me to clear these obstacles for you!"

"My Lord!" Murdoch was shocked and hurriedly stopped him. "We have just arrived in a new world, if we do this…"

"I know what you mean, Murdoch." Li'er waved her hand gently, stopping Murdoch from continuing.

She raised her head and looked at the surrounding prosperous city. Her tone suddenly became sinister and cold. "It's just that I was wrong before. I thought they would accept us, but I didn't expect them to be repelling us. It seems that if we want to be recognized… we still need to show something."

"Salek."

"My Lord!" Salek lowered his head and responded loudly. "Please grant me the glory of conquest!"

"Go ahead." Li'er said softly. "Since that zone belongs to us. We must obtain it. Before I arrive, I want to see a clear sky."

"As you wish!" Salek stood up, like an ancient demon.

In the next moment, he took a deep breath in Murdoch's gaze and jumped off the tall black shale pillar!

Looking at his stalwart back, a trace of worry flashed in Murdoch's eyes. "My Lord, will doing this lead to unpredictable consequences? After all, this is our first time here, if…"

"Don't worry." Li'er replied in a low voice. "Salek will grasp the measure. Besides, we also need a deterrent. I think the Star Pirates will understand this… after we do something."

"But in this way…"

"There is no need to consider the natives here!" Li'er sighed and interrupted Murdoch for the third time. Then she turned around and put a palm on Murdoch's shoulder. "I suddenly figured it out. This world is completely different from our past. This is not only a new beginning, but more importantly, a change in the rules. If we want to truly integrate into this world, we must first learn the rules of the Star Pirates!"

"The rules of the Star Pirates?" Murdoch lost his mind for a moment, repeating to himself.

"That's right!" A flash of cold light flashed in Li'er's eyes, and her red hair suddenly moved without wind. "The rules of the Star Pirates… are that the strong are king!"

"We don't need to consider the natives, because they are part of the Star Pirates' rules. Since their rulers make the wrong choice, they must pay the price for it! There are no innocents in this universe!"

"My Lord…" Murdoch muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming sharp. "In the universe… there are no innocents."

"That's right." Li'er smiled slightly and reached out to smooth Murdoch's hair. "Go ahead, Murdoch. Open our seed body warehouse. We need to release more seed bodies. When Salek completes his mission, I believe that we will usher in our first expansion."

"Yes, as you wish!" Murdoch knelt down respectfully, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Seed bodies, are they finally going to be released?
