Chapter 147 - 124: Accepting the Mission, Vine Insect, Life Star Number 3!

Chapter 147: Chapter 124: Accepting the Mission, Vine Insect, Life Star Number 3!

"The Heaven-Reaching Ship is a hundred meters long, with plenty of interior space, but... it’s a bit empty."

"Though it’s a bit empty, once you upgrade the Artifact Spirit, you can add any functions you need."

"The Artifact Spirit of the Heaven-Reaching Ship requires a blood recognition; then you can nurture it by feeding it Spiritual Energy Crystals."

Du Bai continuously explained to Lu Sheng.

Without any hesitation, Lu Sheng transferred the three hundred million federal points from his account to Du Bai.

Receiving the confirmation, Du Bai’s smile grew even brighter.

"Generous boss, feel free to come to me for any services you need in the future."

Next, under Du Bai’s guidance, Lu Sheng performed the blood recognition process for the Heaven-Reaching Ship.

"By the way, if I’m not mistaken, you’re planning to take on some tasks to earn credits, right?"

Du Bai said with a smile.

Lu Sheng nodded, this was not hard to guess. After all, completing the tasks in the Life Factions without an interstellar ship was very difficult.

Buying a ship from Du Bai, it was logical for him to make that assumption.

"Do you want to join me in completing some tasks?"

Du Bai slung his arm around Lu Sheng’s shoulder and said with a smile.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him, then listened to Du Bai continue.

"I’ve gathered a few people to help me complete the task of clearing the Heaven-Reaching Vine’s pests. Since it’s your first time doing tasks in our faction, I’ll help you get used to it, especially since we’re sharing the ride."

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and agreed. He only had dozens of credits left and needed to earn more quickly to enhance his strength. Joining Du Bai and the others could help him get acquainted with the tasks, and there was no harm in that.

"Alright, I’ll notify them. You first claim the task on the faction’s internal network. After that, we’ll meet with the others and depart!"

Du Bai finalized the plan quickly. After accepting the task, Lu Sheng and Du Bai entered the Heaven-Reaching Ship; with the coordinates entered, the ship, carrying the two of them, turned into a dark green streak, shooting out instantly.

On the way, Du Bai explained why the Life Factions gave students the task of dealing with pests in the Heaven-Reaching Vine.

"Do you know how those jelly-like meshes in the Plant Dyson Spheres are formed?"

Du Bai asked but answered without waiting for Lu Sheng.

"Those jelly-like meshes are actually the corpses of Vine Insects from the Heaven-Reaching Vine, processed by the Life Factions into a special substance."

"The Heaven-Reaching Vine wraps around stars, absorbing their energy. During its growth, energy disperses, leading to the appearance of Vine Insects, which mutually benefit each other."

"The corpses of Vine Insects, after processing, serve as the mesh of the Dyson Spheres, protecting their stability. The Vine Insects grow by absorbing the vine’s energy. Thus, our Life Factions do not completely eradicate them but clear them periodically to keep their numbers stable."

"Most of these pests are at the Tier Three strength, with a few reaching Tier Four by absorbing energy. However, due to the factions’ deliberate suppression, their intelligence is low, even among Tier Four ones, comparable to common beasts."

"Their strength is manageable at the same level, making them suitable tasks for senior and new Tier Four students."

Listening to Du Bai’s explanation, Lu Sheng nodded.

As Du Bai explained, they reached the gathering point quickly.

The gathering point was a space station outside Wuling Star. When Lu Sheng and Du Bai arrived, five people were already waiting there.

Three men and two women.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!"

Du Bai smiled at them, and they smiled back, showing some curiosity when looking at Lu Sheng.

"This is..."

One man asked while looking at Lu Sheng.

Du Bai introduced him with a smile, "Junior Lu Sheng, a new student who just enrolled this year. I’m helping him get familiar with our faction’s tasks."

"Oh, Junior Lu Sheng!"

The five exchanged glances and greeted Lu Sheng a bit perfunctorily.

Clearly, his status as a new student made them somewhat indifferent.

Lu Sheng, however, didn’t mind and stood quietly.

Du Bai glanced at them, took out his communication bracelet, and said, "As usual, join my team, everyone into the team communication, and we’ll distribute the rewards based on contribution."

None objected, they all took out their communication bracelets and joined Du Bai’s team, as did Lu Sheng.

After doing that, Du Bai sent them the coordinates, saying, "Our task is to clear 300 ordinary Vine Insects and slay 7 Vine Insect Kings."

"Understood?"

Du Bai looked at everyone, who nodded.

Ordinary Vine Insects possessed Tier Three cultivation, while the kings were Tier Four.

"Shall we head out then?"

Du Bai said, entering his interstellar ship first. Lu Sheng followed, getting into the Heaven-Reaching Ship.

As for the other five, Lu Sheng noticed that their interstellar ships weren’t fully equipped, indicating that few in the Life Factions could afford a fully equipped Planet Level ship.

Lu Sheng sat in the Heaven-Reaching Ship, inputting the coordinates sent by Du Bai. The rest was up to the Artifact Spirit as the ship set off for the task location.

"Coordinates confirmed, initiating departure!"

A childlike voice echoed within, and the Heaven-Reaching Ship instantly lifted off, turning into a dark green streak, zooming towards the destination.

The speed reached light speed in an instant.

Inside the ship, a mighty force surged from all directions, feeling like it could tear Lu Sheng’s body apart.

The speed a person could endure was limited; surpass it, and the strain could rip one’s body apart.

Now, the ship’s speed had reached light speed. Despite being a Tier Four Golden Body Realm Martial Artist, Lu Sheng still found the strain tough, causing turmoil in his Qi Blood.

Fortunately, it didn’t last long. At light-speed travel, the ship reached the destination in just three minutes.

Life No.3 Star!
