219: Star Hunter

“Host,” the System replied, “Although they are all Aliens, the Interstellar Hunter Team usually doesn’t have a fixed power background. For now, you can simply understand that if the opponent is an Interstellar Hunter Team, the threat is not as strong.”

“Oh, oh.” Lin Yang nodded, half-understanding, and then said, “System, does that mean an Interstellar Hunter Team can be understood as a lone wolf, not a representative of a certain technological civilization, and without an official background from a technological civilization?”

“Yes, Host, you can understand it that way. Because Interstellar Hunter Team usually doesn’t have an official background, what you face is not the invasion of an entire advanced technological civilization, so the level of threat is relatively low.”

“Oh… If that’s the case, then I’m relieved.” Lin Yang let out a sigh of relief.

The System, however, suddenly changed its tone: “Host, although an Interstellar Hunter Team usually doesn’t have an official power background and doesn’t represent the collective will of a certain technological civilization, their existence as an Interstellar Hunter Team should not be underestimated. Although they don’t have an official background, they have their own team strength. Every Interstellar Hunter Team that manages to survive possesses very powerful strength. You still cannot let your guard down!”

“Uh…” Lin Yang blinked and slowly said, “So, can an Interstellar Hunter Team be seen as those armed groups on Blue Star that are independent of nations?”

“Yes, Host, almost every powerful Interstellar Hunter Team is not truly a single individual; they are a team. An Interstellar Hunter Team that thrives possesses very powerful armed forces, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to instigate interstellar wars and still escape unscathed.”

“Moreover, the longer an Interstellar Hunter Team exists, the stronger its power. Some powerful Interstellar Hunter Team are even stronger than some ordinary technological civilizations.”

The System’s words made Lin Yang’s heart, which had just settled, rise again. He couldn’t help but say, “Stronger than technological civilizations? Is it that exaggerated?”

“Host,” the System replied, “Powerful Interstellar Hunter Team are very rich. They earn wealth from wars, are extremely wealthy, and then purchase powerful and advanced weapons through interstellar arms dealers. Their strength is indeed very strong, and it’s not an exaggeration.”

“Alright, then can you detect the overall strength of this Interstellar Hunter Team?” Lin Yang asked.

“Currently, only two interstellar warships have been detected. They are scout ships, likely serving as a vanguard to observe Blue Star’s forces. The main fleet has not yet appeared.”

“Oh, the opponent is quite cautious.” Lin Yang pouted.

“Host,” the System replied, “Caution is the most fundamental quality of an Interstellar Hunter Team’s actions.”

“…How much longer until these two scout ships reach Blue Star?” Lin Yang changed the subject.

“Host,” the System replied, “In at most half an hour, these two scout ships will reach Blue Star.”

“Half an hour? That slow? Didn’t you say they had already appeared in the Solar System? If they’re that slow, it seems this Interstellar Hunter Team’s strength isn’t all that great.” Lin Yang said, surprised.

“Host,” the System replied, “When System said they had appeared within the Galaxy earlier, it wasn’t referring to the Solar System, but rather within the range that System monitors in the Galaxy.”

“…Alright, then consider what I just said unsaid.” Lin Yang showed an awkward but polite smile, then directly closed his mouth and said nothing more, quietly waiting for the scout ships to arrive.

At the same time, on Blue Star.

Inside the United Office Building of Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce.

People from both nations were now eagerly looking up at the sky from time to time, with anticipation on everyone’s faces.

Because just a minute ago, technical personnel received the latest news from the extraterrestrial civilization, informing them that they would arrive on Blue Star within half an hour!

This news made them incredibly excited.

The Aliens had really come!

“Half an hour! Only half an hour left! We’ll be able to make that damned Commander on the moon and Shang Xia regret it!”

The Unpretty Leader looked up at the sky, roaring in a low voice, as if he had already seen the scene of the Aliens helping them counter their country after their arrival!

The Little Eagle Sauce Leader also looked up into the distance, his eyes gleaming with fervor: “In half an hour, Blue Star’s history will be rewritten because of us. We are the pioneers who will truly lead Blue Star into the interstellar era!”

These words intensified the excitement of the others.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce and their people had never felt half an hour was so long.

Finally, after what felt like half a century of waiting, half an hour quietly passed.

Two interstellar warships suddenly appeared directly above them.

Their massive hulls blotted out the sky, and their sleek, silver bodies shimmered with waves of silver light like ripples under the sun, looking even more stunning than scenes from sci-fi blockbusters!

“They’re here!”

In an instant.

Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce and their people were all shaken, then scurried to the area beneath the warships, bowing low as if welcoming important figures.

“Welcome, Alien allies, to Blue Star as our guests. On behalf of Blue Star, we extend our most sincere welcome and blessings to you.”

The Unpretty Leader and Little Eagle Sauce Leader spoke in unison, their humility reaching its extreme.

Even though the other party hadn’t even opened their hatch!

“Oh… This is Blue Star, very good!”

A slightly pleased voice came from the warship, somewhat low, and the language seemed to have been automatically translated by the warship’s System, allowing Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce and their people to hear and understand it clearly!

“Yes, esteemed Alien allies, this is Blue Star. We welcome your arrival again.”

The Unpretty Leader spoke again.

“Heh heh, very good, you’ve done very well. This place is even more wonderful than we imagined, truly a planet full of Life!”

The warship responded again, but still did not open its hatch.

This made Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce and their people, who had been bowing, a little puzzled.

After all, continuously bending like this was physically taxing!

The Unpretty Leader and Little Eagle Sauce Leader exchanged glances, then tentatively said, “Esteemed Alien allies, we have prepared a welcoming ceremony for your arrival. Please make your way.”

“Heh heh, no rush. Didn’t you say in your signal before that you were the strongest nation on the planet? But now it seems that’s not the case.”

A chuckle came from the warship.

These words immediately brought a hint of embarrassment to the faces of the Unpretty Leader and Little Eagle Sauce Leader.

To leave a good impression on the Aliens and to ensure their smooth arrival, they hadn’t told the truth before.

Being exposed directly like this still made them quite mortified.

And just as they were thinking about how to reply, the warship spoke again:

“But it doesn’t matter. As long as you cooperate, we can immediately restore you to the position of the strongest nation!”

Upon hearing this, Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce and their people were greatly excited.

“Esteemed Alien allies, please feel free to command us. We will cooperate wholeheartedly!”

The Unpretty Leader and Little Eagle Sauce Leader responded, suppressing their inner excitement.
