282: transfer station

Before long, Lin Tianwei’s Talent warehouse was filled with all sorts of strange Talents.

The grades ranged from unranked to intermediate, with everything in between.

Unfortunately, he hadn't drawn any sufficiently powerful Talents.

Lin Tianwei could only use these low-level Talents as experimental material.

This time, due to the lower grade of the infused Talents, their power was also relatively low.

These seemingly vast yet incredibly fragile planets finally withstood the power of these low-level Talents.

However, in the final stage of maintaining the galaxy's balance, Lin Tianwei encountered difficulties again.

Infusing these newly added planets with low-level Talents indeed prevented them from shattering due to the immense power contained within powerful Talents.

But this also had a drawback.

That was, it lost balance with the power of the Rejuvenation Star that originally existed within Lin Tianwei’s body.

Although the Rejuvenation Star was smaller in size, the power hidden within it was greater.

Like a greedy black hole, it began to attract the surrounding planets.

Little by little, it pulled them from their original orbits, drawing them closer to the location of the Rejuvenation Star.

Crisis was imminent, and under Lin Tianwei’s gaze, two planets collided.

Terrifying power instantly erupted, sending debris flying.

Ultimately, Lin Tianwei’s body returned to a state with only one planet.

The Rejuvenation Star undoubtedly became the final victor.

This situation made Lin Tianwei realize that unless he expelled the Rejuvenation Star, the original overlord,

and reduced the mass of the planets, it would be impossible to form the terrifying myriad stars within his body.

After a moment of thought, Lin Tianwei finally gave up on this misguided idea.

Clearly, the Rejuvenation Star was the star with greater potential.

The Star Power it alone could provide Lin Tianwei was ten thousand times that provided by other ordinary stars that absorbed low-level Talent power.

Moreover, continuously increasing the mass of the stars within his body was Lin Tianwei’s path of development.

Sacrificing quality for quantity would only cause him to waste a lot of time and resources.

However, this also meant that Lin Tianwei now had a new mission.

A mission to find powerful planets to refine into his body to form the myriad stars.

Before finding a suitable planet, Lin Tianwei estimated he would remain in the “Planetary Stage One” state with only one planet for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei’s gaze became playful.

He only hoped that no ignorant creatures would seek their own demise by bothering him then.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind sending them on their way.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked towards his destination for this trip—the Transfer Station of the Nineteenth District!

A Transfer Station, as the name suggests, is a place for cosmic travelers to transfer.

It can be considered a place that provides logistical support for Cosmic Beasts.

Of course, there’s a prerequisite: you have to be able to afford the price of enjoying that logistical support.

Even in the vast universe, Cosmic Beasts without money don’t live well, some even wishing they were dead.

Looking at the extremely massive planet before him, a planet even larger than the sun,

and the myriad buildings upon it, Lin Tianwei’s interest was piqued.

If he could find resources in the Transfer Station before him that would allow him to continue growing stronger,

then this trip would not have been in vain.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei didn’t hesitate and steered his spaceship towards the nearby docking bay.

Although the Transfer Station was huge, generally only Cosmic Beasts themselves were allowed to enter.

After all, there were many beasts and spaceships coming here.

If all spaceships were allowed in, even if the Transfer Station were a dozen times larger, it wouldn’t be enough.

Of course, the Transfer Station wasn't 100% against spaceships entering.

Some powerful Cosmic Beasts didn’t even need a docking bay; they themselves possessed space large enough to accommodate such massive spaceships.

However, it was clear that the impoverished “Zeta” was definitely not in this category.

He could only abide by the Transfer Station’s rules and park his spaceship in the docking bay.

Waving his six arms, Lin Tianwei skillfully parked the spaceship in the docking bay.

As soon as Lin Tianwei stepped off the spaceship, he heard a cold voice say, “Ten yuan coin.”

Turning around, he found it was a staff member from the docking bay.

He was staring intently at him, as if he were a thief.

There was nothing he could do; Banning also had a hard time speaking and had to stare at this pauper who might run off at any moment.

If he really managed to escape payment, although the other party’s fate would definitely be miserable, he wouldn't fare much better himself.

Don't let Lin Tianwei's beautiful spaceship, with its dazzling silver-white hull, deceive you.

In reality, it was a piece of junk that no beast would want even if it were left lying around.

What era was this that there were still manual spaceships?

If it weren't for the fact that collecting antiques wasn't popular in the universe, this guy would definitely make a fortune.

Banning grumbled angrily.

If this obvious pauper got away, he would really be in trouble.

Lin Tianwei was a bit speechless, thinking, what era was this that there was still such an outrageous thing as a parking fee?

He casually pulled out and threw ten yuan coin, considering the parking fee paid.

With the parking fee in hand, Banning's expression improved slightly, and he slowly moved his huge body, which had been blocking Lin Tianwei.

He thought to himself that although the beast in front of him was poor, at least he was a poor beast who wouldn't run off and had integrity.

Not bothering with the ignorant Banning, Lin Tianwei quickly walked towards the passage.

If he were to argue with everyone he met, Lin Tianwei felt he might live a very tiring life.

And Banning hadn't done anything wrong either.

Zeta was indeed a pauper.

In Zeta’s memory, every time he came to the Transfer Station, he had to endure this treatment, and he would fret over the mere ten yuan coin parking fee for a long time.

As Lin Tianwei's body entered the passage, he felt as if some inexplicable force was acting upon his body.

A moment later, the passage door in front of Lin Tianwei opened again.

However, the scenery before him was no longer the initial docking bay, but a city of unparalleled luxury.

Various oddly shaped Cosmic Beasts walked within, which truly broadened Lin Tianwei’s horizons.

The most astonishing thing was that the sizes of these Cosmic Beasts were all identical.

There was basically no significant difference.

This made the Transfer Station look quite similar to a human metropolis.

This was the function of that passage.

It could not only instantly teleport visitors to their destination but also transform them into a uniform size convenient for communication.

Clearly, anyone capable of doing this was an absolute superpower.

It would require pushing laws and Talents to their limits to accomplish such an incredible feat.

Of course, the Transfer Station's elaborate efforts were not solely for the convenience of its visitors.

This was also a show of force.

To deter those who harbored ill intentions towards the Transfer Station.

To tell them that the Transfer Station was not a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could cause trouble.

Although Lin Tianwei had learned about the special nature of this place from Zeta’s memories, he still found it very magical.

He hadn't felt much power flowing through his body, yet all of this had already been accomplished.

If an enemy truly intended to attack him, then he would certainly have no burial ground.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei was even more grateful that he had left a contingency.

Talent: Avatar (Mythical)!

This terrifying mythical-grade Talent possessed formidable life-saving abilities.

Combined with the Talent: Teleportation (Transcendent), as long as space wasn't sealed, Lin Tianwei could instantly escape from here.

Even death held no fear.

As long as his Avatar existed, Lin Tianwei could be resurrected through it.

Although this would leave him weak for a long time.

Compared to death, this was undoubtedly a profitable deal.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the Transfer Station wouldn't have problems.

After all, there was a reason why it became the largest trading market in the Nineteenth District.

Safety was naturally the most important factor here.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei, no longer having any worries, stepped out of the passage.

He was ready to thoroughly explore this massive Transfer Station.

However, just as Lin Tianwei was about to explore the Transfer Station alone, he heard a very unfamiliar voice say:

“Friend, is this your first time at the Transfer Station?”

“Let me introduce myself, my name is Tore. I’ve been to this Transfer Station a few times and am quite familiar with it.”

“Since we’ve met, it’s fate. Why don’t we travel together and look out for each other?”

“What do you think, my friend?”

Lin Tianwei was very surprised that a beast would proactively call out to him in this unfamiliar place.

Following the voice, Lin Tianwei realized that the one who had called out to him was a very unfamiliar Cosmic Beast.

This was a spider-like Cosmic Beast, most notable for the four pairs of long legs symmetrically distributed beneath its body.

Its entire body was covered in fine black fur, making it seem very well-defended.

A large single eye was looking at Lin Tianwei in a friendly manner, quite similar to a mutated Spider-Man from Blue Star human fantasies.

Although Tore left the passage later than Lin Tianwei, with the effort of his eight legs, he quickly caught up with Lin Tianwei’s pace.

Clearly, he was definitely a very Flexible Cosmic Beast.

As for Tore’s strength?

Lin Tianwei couldn't discern anything from the opponent's body, which had been shrunk to the same size as his own.

Furthermore, with Mental Power suppressed by the Transfer Station, recklessly unleashing Mental Power to probe other beasts was an extreme violation.

Without wanting to draw attention, Lin Tianwei had no way of knowing Tore’s specific strength.

“My name is Zeta, and it is indeed my first time coming to the Transfer Station.”

“I was just worrying about not knowing where to go since I’m completely unfamiliar with this place.”

“If Brother Tore has the time to help guide me, that would be truly wonderful.”

At this moment, Lin Tianwei’s eyes were filled with pure foolishness.

He looked exactly like a college student still studying at university.

But if Tore truly believed Lin Tianwei’s nonsense and intended to harm him, then he might just discover how sharp Lin Tianwei’s teeth truly were.

Although Lin Tianwei didn't know what this seemingly friendly Cosmic Beast truly harbored in his heart,

the bold and skilled Lin Tianwei was not at all afraid and quickly gave a positive answer.

Although Zeta had visited the Transfer Station a few times, as a pauper, he always came and went in a hurry.

He didn't really understand this place much at all.

With a self-proclaimed free guide offering his services, Lin Tianwei naturally wouldn't refuse.

As for Tore's motive,

whether he harbored ill intentions towards him.

Lin Tianwei had never even considered such questions.

Hesitation had always been the behavior of the weak.

As long as his strength was sufficient, he would not fear any schemes or tricks.

Tore also seemed surprised that Lin Tianwei had agreed so quickly, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

After all, he had invited over a dozen people to travel together, and only Lin Tianwei had accepted his invitation so readily.

Because the safety of the Transfer Station was only relative.

The Transfer Station could provide refuge for every Cosmic Beast that came here, but it couldn't protect fools.

If one were to let down their guard and open their heart to other Cosmic Beasts because of this, they would truly not know how to spell 'death'.

If he were a fool, how could this Cosmic Beast in front of him have lived until now?

Could it be that this seemingly weak guy in front of him was feigning weakness, and was actually setting a trap?

Had his proactive approach instead led him into the other party's trap?

Lin Tianwei’s unusual behavior actually made Tore wary.

However, upon seeing Lin Tianwei’s sincere gaze, Tore gave up on that ridiculous idea.

He had seen such humanoid Cosmic Beasts before; most of them weren't very strong in combat.

Only a few races with extremely powerful Talents could thrive in the universe.

Clearly, this seemingly frail Cosmic Beast in front of him was definitely not among them.

Because his every gesture exuded the aura of a weakling.

Thinking of this, Tore relaxed, smiled kindly, and said, “Since Brother Zeta doesn’t mind, then we shall travel together.”

“I just don’t know if Brother Zeta has a specific destination in mind.”

“I’m somewhat familiar with this place, so feel free to tell me wherever you want to go, Brother Zeta.”

Tore had enough confidence in himself.

He was a seasoned veteran who frequently operated in this area; there was no way he would fail.

As for his purpose in proactively seeking out Lin Tianwei, it remained unknown for now.

Facing Tore’s invitation, Lin Tianwei feigned ignorance and said, “This is my first time at the Transfer Station, so I just plan to resupply a bit.”

“But there’s no rush for that; it won’t be too late to do it when I’m ready to leave.”

“As for the time being, I’ll rely on you, Tore, for guidance.”

Tore ultimately couldn't discern anything from Lin Tianwei’s sincere face.

After a moment of thought, he finally decided to travel with Lin Tianwei and said,

“You want to experience the Transfer Station? Then, Zeta, you’ve truly found the right person.”

“Come, come, follow me.”

“Although the Transfer Station of the Nineteenth District isn’t very large, it’s like a sparrow that has all its internal organs—it has all the necessary facilities.”

“Especially a few places, as a newcomer, you absolutely must visit them.”

“Oh, the Lotus Slave Market is nearby; let’s go and have a look now.” (End of Chapter)
