Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 497 - 134. Empire Citizen

Chapter 497: 134. Empire Citizen

Li Aozi sat on the train, took out his personal terminal, letters, and diary, and checked his personal information to confirm his identity.

"Isaac Maxim, 21 years old, chose military service to earn enough for college tuition, served as a mobile infantry soldier in the 22nd Field Battalion, D15 Military District, completed seven professional skills training, mastered basic driving, demolitions, combat, diving, stealth, information reconnaissance, drone flying, sniping, field survival, and parachuting skills, and promoted to Private Second Class in the army."

"Kind-hearted, participated in the rescue mission of the ’Ailam Earthquake’ in the year 220, awarded the Level 4 Hero Title, but had poor health due to a congenital disease. In 221, when the Empire announced military reforms, Isaac’s physical condition did not meet the new requirements and he was required to serve early. Perhaps, this disease was also the reason for his previous shock and death..."

Thanks to the new version update, players of "Starry Abyss" could directly recruit NPCs more excellent than ordinary people, starting at lv.5 or lv.6 characters, with some players being particularly lucky and starting at lv.10.

This was quite normal, as the competitive mode of "Starry Abyss" always emphasized this, facilitating newcomers in quickly shortening the gap. By the end of the version, the gap between newcomers and veterans was only in experience and accumulated resources, maintaining an overall balanced state.

Li Aozi took out a pendant from his pocket, opening it to see a projected family photo: a young and tender Maxim crowded together with his family, with his fair skin gleaming and a bashful smile on his face, and a pet cat named ’Purr’ resting on his shoulder.

He had one arm around his twin brother, Asimov, a tall and sturdy, honest basketball center in the school team. The brothers seemed very close, and standing between their shoulder embraces was a slender young girl. Although her features were not beautiful, her chubby baby face was somewhat cute with braces—this was their younger sister, Susanna.

In contrast, their parents looked much more ordinary. Father Franz Maxim had a big beard and wore a straw hat, a downright honest old farmer.

Mother Lena Maxim had a plump figure, ruddy cheeks, red hair, purple eyes, and pale skin typical of Outer World descendants.

"Such great relations with family," Li Aozi sighed. He then opened his personal panel to check his attributes: "Let’s see what’s special about this body."

"It’s actually not bad."

Li Aozi nodded approvingly.

Isaac Maxim had quite a decent basic panel, with 9 points in [Constitution], 8 points in [Strength], and 7 points in [Dexterity]. With these attributes, taking down a dozen ordinary people wouldn’t be a problem.

Moreover, this was achieved without even touching the Pathway, solely through ordinary military training, making him a real prodigy.

"It seems this body is well-suited for the [Destroyer] Pathway—good, the true body already has [Bloodline] and is close to Valkyrie Fortress, making this path much easier."

The main advantage of the [Destroyer] Pathway was its rapid leveling, powerful strength, and ease of cultivation. To popularize the lesser-known [Sovereign] Pathway, using the [Destroyer] Pathway as a base was a good choice.

Having multiple Pathways meant multiple backup plans. What’s more, True’s account enjoyed the "Lai Anding Medical Protocol," which provided three resurrection chances daily. To maximize the usefulness of this risk-taking tool character, he needed to make it more resilient.

"Directly follow the [Martial Artist] Pathway."

Li Aozi decisively made the decision without much hesitation.

The main body in the [Sovereign] Pathway aimed to become the Pathway Main God, while this secondary account in the [Martial Artist] Pathway could serve as a top-tier enforcer.

In the worst-case scenario, should the [Sovereign] Pathway fail to achieve godhood, he could switch to this secondary account and compete with the [Destroyer] Pathway users.

He didn’t believe that as an NPC, he couldn’t outdo NPCs, and as a player, he couldn’t outdo players.

Starting a secondary account meant optimizing it for maximum benefits. After enhancing his [Intelligence], Li Aozi became much sharper, meticulously planning various scenarios.

Furthermore, Azure Star didn’t offer many Pathway options, with [Martial Artist] inheriting a clearer and more comprehensive legacy.

Li Aozi made a list, meticulously planning his next steps. A comrade ran over, wanting to take a photo with Li Aozi, who agreed with a smile.

"3, 2, 1—cheese~"

The comrade laughed heartily and ran to the other side after taking the picture.

Li Aozi sat in his seat, gazing at the rapidly retreating red and black horizon, Ersha still spreading, seemingly more severe than before.

Lord Entropy probably couldn’t imagine that someone had escaped and could return.
