Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 261

[261. Chapter 261 Banquet (asking for monthly ticket)]

Inside a huge machinery factory.

Automatic robots are working in an orderly manner.

Countless factories together form a huge industrial cluster, most of which are automated, with only a few key positions requiring special technicians to manage.

At the gate, Ouyang Qianqian stood meticulously, feeling very bored: “In another hour and 17 minutes, it will be time to change shifts…”

She was Fang Xing’s high school classmate, but she failed the college entrance examination, and her family used connections to assign her to logistics during her military service.

My current job is to guard this factory, which is equivalent to a security guard…

To be honest, this mission is actually not bad. Apart from being a bit boring, it is relatively safe.

Even though it has experienced several attacks from the imaginary space, the military products produced by this factory can only be considered average and are not among the key targets.

“In a few years, I will be able to retire… then get married and have children… Is this the end of my life?”

Ouyang Qianqian looked straight ahead but sighed in her heart.

Suddenly, a communication came in.

[Private First Class Ouyang Qianqian, you have been assigned a special mission and are ordered to assemble at the designated location within one hour! ]

“This…is a mandatory mission?”

Ouyang Qianqian was shocked when she saw this, and then she saw a colleague coming to take over the shift, and she felt a little uneasy.

“I’m just a logistics soldier. I won’t be assigned any dangerous tasks, right?”

With trepidation, she boarded a military transport spacecraft. On the spacecraft, there were other female soldiers, all of whom looked heroic and beautiful.

“Have you heard? An important person is coming…”

“It seems we have been chosen to serve as the greeters…”

“Only Director Davis could do such a thing…”

With so many girls around, it’s inevitable that they’ll chatter and gossip. Some of them even seem to have some connections and know some inside information.

“Davis?”

Ouyang Qianqian was shocked. That was a big shot standing at the top of the entire White Bird Star. He could easily decide her future and even her life and death!
‘Indeed, those federal dignitaries like to use real people as waiters. After all, robots make people feel not formal enough…’

“Oh no, if I’m favored, should I give in or resist?”

Just as Ouyang Qianqian was daydreaming, she saw her colleagues around her taking out their makeup mirrors, dressing up carefully, and seeming a little self-deprecating.

For them, this seems to be an opportunity they have been longing for.

Once you are noticed by a big shot, you will immediately become a phoenix.

…

In the evening.

In front of the magnificent building.

The bright red carpet stretched for several miles. Ouyang Qianqian changed into a low-cut bright red welcoming dress, and her smile seemed a little stiff.

‘Damn it, how long do I have to wait?’

Just as she was daydreaming, she suddenly saw a flash of light in the sky, a blue light flashing, and a blue private spaceship was slowly landing.

“It’s a private spacecraft?”

“Sure enough, he is a big dog owner!”

She was secretly complaining in her heart, and then she saw a middle-aged white man laughing and coming to greet her. She was even more shocked: “He must be a big shot who can make Davis bow down like this…”

Swish!

The hatch of the spacecraft opened and Fang Xing walked out.

“Haha, welcome, Fang Xing, my friend!”

Davis laughed, walked over and gave Fang Xing a hug.

“Hello, Director Davis.”

Fang Xing responded with a faint smile, and when he glanced around, he saw another young woman in a Public Security Bureau uniform.

“Let me introduce to you the chief of the Public Security Bureau of this planet – Ms. Jiang Yuer!”

Davis introduced Fang Xing.

“Hello.”

Fang Xing stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jiang Yuer.

“The director of the local prevention and control bureau was unable to come because he had arranged a capture operation in advance. He asked me to apologize to you…”

Jiang Yuer spoke.

“Of course, business is more important.”

Fang Xing walked side by side with Davis and Jiang Yuer towards the banquet hall.

When he passed by a receptionist, his eyes fixed for a moment, and then he walked past as if nothing had happened.

Ouyang Qianqian looked at Fang Xing walking by, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

“It turned out to be him… Fang Xing?!”

‘Has he become such a big shot?’

Ouyang Qianqian looked at the young figure walking side by side with the two giants of White Bird Star, and felt mixed emotions in her heart.

She knew very well that the other party did not stop to say hello for her own good.

Unless, she wants to live under the spotlight immediately, her ordinary life will be turned upside down in an instant.

…

The banquet hall was full of lights and wine.

Almost all the dignitaries of White Bird Star were there, and all the gentlemen and ladies gathered together.

Fang Xing held a glass of juice, occasionally chatted with people who came over, and then went to the balcony on the side.

“Haha, Fang Xing, are the people from White Bird Star too enthusiastic?”

Davis came over to him with a glass of red wine.

“I’ve been studying in college, and this experience is a little bit strange.”

Fang Xing told the truth.

“Well, you just need to remember that it is they who need to please us, not us who need to please them.”

Davis smiled and said, “If you need any support here, our military will do its best.”

“Thank you so much. I am planning to start a company that will be involved in materials science and will need a large amount of land for cultivation and research…”

Fang Xing was not polite and directly stated his needs: “It would be best if I could have a sample of each of the special environments on White Bird Star.”

“No problem. Your company is here and will definitely receive the most favorable tax treatment.”

Davis answered without hesitation.

“Thanks.”

Fang Xing held out his juice glass and clinked it with the other party’s: “There is one more thing… My doctoral thesis is related to mechas, and I have already applied for the federal ‘right to wear armor’, so I plan to apply for a military mecha and conduct research at the same time.”

The Federation does not prohibit ordinary external skeleton armor.

But real military standard mechas are still subject to strict restrictions.

At least, ordinary citizens do not have the right to wear mechas, but for ordinary firearms and the like, no one cares if they have an arsenal.

This is the development of the times.

In Fang Xing’s previous life, collecting armor in ancient times was considered rebellion, but in modern times, no one cares even if you hide dozens of them.

But what if you want to collect a tank?
Mechas… tanks from the interstellar era! Even aircraft carriers!
Especially military standard mechas, each one has a number.

Fortunately, Fang Xing is a legitimate member of the Federation and a nominal security consultant of the Federation, so he can apply to wear armor, that is, drive a mecha into battle.

“That’s no problem. The best mecha in the warehouse is yours to choose from!”

Davis patted his chest and made the assurance.

After all, the best mecha in the White Bird Star’s arsenal is only at the seventh level.

This means that even if you put it on, you will only have the combat power of the seventh level.

For those who are in the Vajra Realm, it cannot be said that it is useless, but the increase is indeed not that great.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this is just a borrowing. The other party only has the right to use it, not the ownership.

“It’s a special fund for warriors who have the secret pattern of will.”

Fang Xing smiled.

“Of course. How could I fool you with such rubbish?”

Davis’s mouth twitched and his smile became a little forced.

“Well, the guests must be waiting anxiously.”

Fang Xing laughed, looking very satisfied, and returned to the banquet hall.

He was indeed quite satisfied.

Because both goals were achieved.

In addition to mechas, he actually pays more attention to his own company and cultivation fields.

Because his doctoral thesis was related to evil god suppression materials, he was preparing to research a new material.

For many people, this is a fantasy. Basically, all the inhibitor materials that can be found in the Blue Star Federation have been discovered.

All that’s left is for materials scientists to continue trying, like alchemy, hoping for a slim chance of winning the lottery.

But Fang Xing is different! He has an entire world of immortal cultivation behind him, with unimaginable resources.

“In the world of immortal cultivation, there are many spiritual herbs and materials with the property of ‘breaking evil’. You can bring them here one by one to try, and also try to see if you can cultivate them artificially…”

“After many selections, I think White Bird Star is the most suitable…”

“Once I can really research a new type of suppression material, I will definitely make a fortune after applying for a patent… I don’t have much hope of becoming a federal giant, but making a fortune and obtaining the initial start-up funds for my own mecha shouldn’t be a problem…”

More importantly, in this way, the main raw materials are firmly in Fang Xing’s hands.

Even if others want to seize the patent, it will be useless.

Therefore, although outsiders may think that this project of mine requires a bit of luck, I have great hope of success!

‘By then, it will be enough to be used directly as a doctoral dissertation.’

“Well, the federal doctoral program lasts 20 years. After 20 years, I should be able to become a martial saint…”

As for the secret of breaking through to the Martial Saint level, Nie Ying had already taught him everything he knew. The key was to condense the ‘Dharma Appearance’! The
main focus of Blue Star University students was to condense the ‘Tathagata Dharma Appearance’.

Of course, there are also people like Xu Sanyang who have created their own path and condensed the ‘Three Yang Dharma Images’.

According to Fang Xing, this kind of Dharma image is somewhat similar to the Nascent Soul of a cultivator.

‘The Federation’s rare treasure that helps people break through to the Martial Saint level is the ‘Spirit Refining Essence’… It is said that it requires the spinal fluid essence of the descendants of the evil god as the main material, and a large amount of cosmic wonders are added to refine it… It has considerable side effects and is dangerous.’

Anything related to the evil god, whether it is potion or mecha, is very dangerous.

Moreover, generally only warriors dare to take it. After all, their greatest advantage is their martial arts will! It can offset a certain degree of pollution!

‘Generally speaking, as long as you reach the Great Vajra Realm and have a flawless golden body… you don’t need any auxiliary spiritual medicine to forcefully break through to the Martial Saint Realm.’

“For example, Senior Xu Sanyang didn’t have any auxiliary medicine at all, and he broke through directly…”

…

Fang Xing was thinking about things while drinking and chatting.

Outside the banquet hall.

The wind is cold.

Ouyang Qianqian kept her posture straight, cursing in her heart: “Damn it… How long are these guys going to play?”

However, military orders are as heavy as mountains, and she would not dare to be absent from work before receiving orders from her superiors.

Unfortunately, the temperature difference between day and night on White Bird Star is so great that even a martial artist like her can’t stand it…
