330: You are really presumptuous (two in one)

“Kid, I found some interesting things on your planet.”

As soon as they met, the Silver-haired woman got straight to the point.

Lin Yang was slightly startled: “Interesting things? What things?”

“We’ll talk about that later. First, let me ask you, what are your plans next?” The Silver-haired woman then asked about Lin Yang’s plans.

“Plans? To be honest, I don’t quite understand what you mean, what kind of plans are you referring to?” Lin Yang was a bit confused.

“Hehe, with the current military power of your spaceship, you can unify the entire planet for your nation, but what after that?” The Silver-haired woman smiled faintly.

“After that?”

Lin Yang frowned. He hadn’t considered this question yet.

He lowered his head slightly and thought seriously for a moment. Lin Yang looked up, but before answering the question, he still thanked the Silver-haired woman:

“Thank you for your help. If you hadn’t brought us back through warp, relying on the spaceship’s own speed, my home planet would definitely have been destroyed. Such a great kindness, I don’t know how to repay it.”

He was actually very shocked in his heart.

Before, when the Silver-haired woman suddenly wanted to take them to warp, she must have discovered that the alien battleship was going to attack Blue Star.

He didn’t understand how the Silver-haired woman discovered Blue Star was in crisis from such a distant star field.

However, this question was not good to ask, as it might involve her privacy, so he could only express his gratitude.

Regarding Lin Yang’s gratitude, the Silver-haired woman said indifferently: “My and Maple’s hometown was destroyed by alien battleships that descended from the sky, and hundreds of millions of people became slaves and material suppliers. I couldn’t save my hometown back then, so helping you save yours now can be considered a small compensation for the regret in my heart. You don’t need to take it to heart.”

Lin Yang’s heart trembled, and he opened his mouth, somewhat at a loss for words.

From the Silver-haired woman’s words, Lin Yang could tell that she must have thought countless times about returning to the scene where she saved Lay Wei with her current power.

Therefore, it was highly probable that the Silver-haired woman knew that Gao Shui and his group had previously acted against Blue Star.

So, using a power he currently couldn’t comprehend, she observed Blue Star’s situation from a distant star field, and at the critical moment, brought them back through warp, saving Blue Star at the last minute.

She couldn’t save Lay Wei back then, so when she encountered the same situation, she lent a helping hand.

Lin Yang thought of a saying.

Because she herself had been drenched in rain, she also wanted to hold an umbrella for others.

Perhaps the Silver-haired woman was like that.

After a pause, Lin Yang spoke, slowly saying: “I plan to first raise the technological level of my homeland. Although I killed Gao Shui and that guy of the fifth-level civilization, they might have transmitted the news. I still cannot relax my vigilance here and must be prepared for the arrival of the opponent’s expeditionary fleet at any time.”

He brought back a lot of advanced technical data this time, enough to significantly raise the domestic technological level.

But Lin Yang also felt some pressure in his heart.

Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, the subsequent troubles would likely be more intense.

The technical data he brought back, not to mention lacking fifth-level civilization technology, even if it had it, raising to a fifth-level civilization in a short period was utterly impossible.

The advancement of technological civilization levels, even with existing technical guidance, required a large amount of time for repeated practice, and even more, a massive amount of resources.

It was still unknown when the fifth-level civilization behind Gao Shui and his group would again send a fleet to Blue Star, but it shouldn’t be too long, and there were no massive resources.

So Lin Yang had no better plan, he could only temporarily take it one step at a time.

“With your current power, if that fifth-level civilization’s fleet descends again, this planet still cannot be saved.” The Silver-haired woman finished listening and smiled faintly.

Lin Yang was instantly dumbfounded, then sighed helplessly.

Because the Silver-haired woman was right.

With his current power, he indeed had no real resistance against a fifth-level civilization.

However.

He wouldn’t give up because of that.

Seeing this, the Silver-haired woman said again: “I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?”

“Please speak!” Lin Yang immediately said.

“Why don’t you take your relatives, friends, and those connected to you and flee elsewhere before the other party arrives? Anyway, the other people on the planet have nothing to do with you, or you can take people away in batches to immigrate before the other party arrives.” The Silver-haired woman smiled slightly.

“This…” Lin Yang froze, then shook his head without hesitation: “No, this is my hometown, I cannot easily abandon it.”

“Moreover.”

Lin Yang looked at the Silver-haired woman and said seriously:

“Giving up now without making any effort or preparation, that is truly hopeless.”

“Oh? Do you think there will be a chance after trying? The other party is a fifth-level civilization!” The Silver-haired woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

“At least I have to try.” Lin Yang said slowly.

He didn’t think there was no chance at all.

Although he indeed had no room to resist against the fifth-level battleship before.

However, now that he had that fifth-level battleship as spoils of war, he could use the system’s ability to analyze the fifth-level battleship’s weapon system, thereby upgrading and modifying the weapon systems of Apocalypse and Tiangong Base.

As long as the fleet sent by the opponent wasn't too large, he might still be able to fight them.

This wasn’t Lin Yang’s blind confidence.

It was because when the Silver-haired woman instantly killed Gao Shui and others, that guy of the fifth-level civilization almost certainly transmitted intelligence.

Therefore, the fifth-level civilization behind them, before having the confidence to deal with the Silver-haired woman, would likely only send some vanguard troops to gather intelligence.

As long as it wasn’t a large-scale expeditionary fleet descending, then there was still a chance.

“What if the other party doesn’t act as you expect, but directly brings a massive army?” The Silver-haired woman said indifferently.

“If they directly bring a massive army, it will still be time to run then.”

Lin Yang said.

“Anyway, I want to try my best.”

“This place, after all, is my hometown. Even if I can find a better and larger planet, it cannot replace the emotions carried by this land.”

“Presumably, you can understand this feeling.”

At the end, Lin Yang looked at the Silver-haired woman frankly.

The Silver-haired woman’s gaze sharpened.

Lin Yang still met her gaze frankly.

The Silver-haired woman stared at him for half a minute, her eyes flickering slightly, and she said wistfully:

“That’s right, no matter how good other places are, they cannot replace the emotions carried by one’s hometown and native land.”

As her words fell, the scene fell into a brief silence.

A moment later, the Silver-haired woman spoke first: “Even if everything goes as you think, this method can only buy you some time. After investigating the situation, the other party will eventually bring a large army, and it’s very likely not just that one fifth-level civilization.”

“More than one fifth-level civilization?” Lin Yang was startled.

He didn’t quite understand what that meant.

The Silver-haired woman said indifferently: “A fifth-level civilization is already considered a large civilization in this universe. The dispatch of an expeditionary force certainly cannot be done quietly; it will absolutely be noticed by other large civilizations.”

“A fifth-level civilization crossing distant star fields to attack a low-level civilization will easily lead people to guess that there might be some extraordinary treasure in this low-level civilization, and then the news of that Wu Cang Clan will not be kept secret.”

“At that time, what you might face will not just be as simple as a fifth-level civilization.”

“Therefore, you need other better ways to ensure the safety of your home planet.”

“Ah?!” Lin Yang was startled.

He really hadn’t thought about this aspect.

Now that the Silver-haired woman mentioned it, Lin Yang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The Silver-haired woman glanced at him and said: “You don’t need to be too nervous, I have a way to ensure the long-term safety of your home planet.”

“Please bestow your method!” Lin Yang bowed directly.

“There is a method that can fold cosmic space, capable of completely hiding a planet in folded space. As long as the enemy’s strength is insufficient, even if they walk right by, they won’t discover the planet that’s right in front of them.”

The Silver-haired woman spoke.

“There is also a slightly inferior method of hiding spatial coordinates, making it impossible for people to precisely pinpoint the planet’s location, but this method is not quite applicable to the current situation, as the opponent definitely has Blue Star’s precise coordinates.”

“So, you need to find a civilization or an expert capable of folding cosmic space, and ask them to help conceal Blue Star and even the entire Solar System. This way, your home planet can gain absolute safety for a sufficiently long time, and you can slowly develop technology.”

“Folding space?” Lin Yang was greatly shocked to hear this.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of method this was for the time being.

“Yes, however, civilizations capable of mastering space-folding technology are truly top-tier cosmic civilizations, top-notch in any part of the universe.”

The Silver-haired woman nodded.

“Similarly, experts who master space-folding technology are also top-tier extraordinary experts in the universe. Neither such top-tier civilizations nor top-tier extraordinary experts are easy to find.”

“And…”

The Silver-haired woman looked at Lin Yang, revealing a strange smile: “And even if you find them, they may not be willing to help you. In the universe, everything comes at a price. Without enough bargaining chips and benefits, how can you impress them?”

“…” Lin Yang was stunned.

He was truly stunned for a moment.

It wasn’t that this principle stunned him.

But, if that’s the case, why would the Silver-haired woman tell him this method?

Was she toying with him?

“Your Excellency, you…” Lin Yang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

According to what the Silver-haired woman said, if her words were true, he probably wouldn’t be able to find such a civilization or expert, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to offer enough bargaining chips to impress them.

Of course, he still had that extraordinary characteristic material that Maple called a masterpiece.

Perhaps that would be enough as a bargaining chip, but the problem was, Maple had said that bringing out that extraordinary characteristic material would cause a disaster.

He had no self-preservation ability, and it would be easy for the other party to take the extraordinary characteristic material and then kill him.

That would be losing both money and life.

The item would be gone, he would die, and Blue Star would also not be saved.

Lin Yang instantly became depressed.

“Hehe, kid, are you thinking I’m making fun of you?”

The Silver-haired woman looked at Lin Yang’s changing expression and suddenly chuckled softly.

Lin Yang was startled, just about to deny it, but the Silver-haired woman smiled slightly again and said:

“But you’re lucky, kid. I happen to know an expert who can fold space. I can introduce you to him, but whether he can help you will depend on your own ability.”

“Uh…” Lin Yang was startled again.

For some reason, he suddenly wondered if this Silver-haired woman was trying to probe if he had other treasures on him?

It wasn’t that he was judging a gentleman by a villain’s heart, but rather that it felt a bit too coincidental.

The Silver-haired woman continued: “You don’t need to worry too much. That guy just has a peculiar temper. As long as you can find a way to impress him, the safety of your home planet will be guaranteed.”

“Then, may I ask, how can I impress him?” Lin Yang’s eyes flashed, “Do I need to offer treasures, or what?”

“Do you have treasures of sufficient value on you?”

The Silver-haired woman glanced at him and said leisurely:

“If you do, then you don’t have to work hard, but if you don’t, according to his temper, as long as you can complete some of his small tests, he will also help you.”

“Oh… Then what kind of tests are they?” Lin Yang asked again.

“I’m not too sure about that. Everyone’s test is different, but if you’re willing to try, I can help you make the connection.” The Silver-haired woman shook her head.

“I probably don’t have much chance of completing the tests set by such a powerful being, do I?” Lin Yang said slowly.

“No, no, no, I said, everyone’s test will be different, which means he will set the test for you according to your personal situation and strength. There will certainly be difficulty, after all, it’s a test, but there is definitely a possibility of completing it.” The Silver-haired woman smiled.

“Then… please trouble you to introduce me. I’m willing to try.” Lin Yang thought for a moment and made his decision.

Regardless of whether the Silver-haired woman was testing him, since there was such an opportunity, he had to try his best.

“Good, I’ll tell him. If he agrees, I’ll take you to see him.” The Silver-haired woman seemed very satisfied with Lin Yang’s answer, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

“Thank you, Your Excellency!” Lin Yang thanked her again.

“You don’t need to thank me so quickly. We don’t know if you’ll succeed in impressing him yet. It’s not too late to thank me after it’s done.” The Silver-haired woman said with a half-smile.

Lin Yang was stunned.

“Alright, now that the main business is done, I’ll take you to see those interesting things I found on your home planet.” The Silver-haired woman changed the subject.

“Okay, what exactly are those interesting things you mentioned?” Lin Yang asked again.

“You’ll know when we get there.” The Silver-haired woman didn’t say more.

Lin Yang no longer asked, and the Silver-haired woman gave him a coordinate.

As Apocalypse turned towards the coordinate, Lin Yang couldn’t help but ask curiously: “Your Excellency, may I be so bold as to ask, with your strength, are you still unable to master space-folding technology?”

Honestly, all the abilities and methods the Silver-haired woman displayed, in his opinion, were already unimaginably powerful, yet she still couldn’t master space-folding technology?

Hearing this, the Silver-haired woman suddenly turned to look at him, not speaking.

Only when Lin Yang felt his scalp tingle did she say:

“You really are quite presumptuous.”
