Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 728 - 339. Zhi Xiang

Chapter 728: 339. Zhi Xiang

No matter how Harlowe tried to explain, it was to no avail.

[Canyue] was among the fastest to activate even within the ranks of Sequential Arcane Energy, after all, other arcane energies had to go through the process of "observe—analyze—process—output."

While [Canyue], if not performing precision operations, only required two steps: touch—output

This efficiency was so high that when Li Aozi faced off against Canyue, without cursing the opponent with "Calamity" to make them err, there was simply no opportunity to seize a gap for a counterattack.

Thankfully, he was a manipulator of gravity, otherwise, an ordinary person encountering Canyue would have no means of resistance. Even if equally matched, they could not kill the other.

Harlowe relentlessly tried to expose Li Aozi’s methods, but it was useless; extraordinary [Charm] made people more likely to believe him. By revealing his identity as a [Biochemist] beforehand, he instinctively eliminated the possibility of being suspected as a [Sovereign] arcane energy manipulator.

After all, an average person would be so dedicated to advancing one pathway that they would burn the midnight oil for fear of not having enough time. Who could imagine that Li Aozi alone would not only develop arcane energy but also bring the difficult secondary professions of [Biochemist] and [Magician] to a significant level?

Seeing more and more people approaching, Harlowe spotted a few past clients nearing and, realizing the situation was unfavorable, had no choice but to pack up his stall, glaring at Li Aozi with resentment:

"You will eventually die from rumors and slander."

"So what if I really slandered you?" Li Aozi shrugged indifferently and said, "I am so young, still a student, everyone will forgive me. You better hope I don’t have depression, otherwise, if I die, you will be the prime suspect."

The leaves on Harlowe’s head trembled, and the tree-person swindler had to leave dejectedly.

With the commotion gone, the crowd quickly dispersed. Watching the other’s retreating figure, Li Aozi muttered to himself:

"That rhetoric is effective against civilized people; it wasn’t in vain to hang around the Frost Plated Republic."

Speaking of which, he still wasn’t sure about the current situation in Frost Plated. The task "Frost Plated Bone White" hadn’t had a chance to be resolved, and he didn’t know if Commander David Lyn could punch those anti-human terrorists to pieces.

Li Aozi found a secluded corner and changed into a silver-white windcoat, naturally, the 200-point ticket [Future Primitive] outfit. Pulling down the hood activated the special effect that shrouded his face in black mist, making it unrecognizable to outsiders.

He strolled through the gathering area, pondering over his arrangements on Azure Star.

In the earlier years, his ascent to space was too hasty, and the subsequent frequent events made him abandon and overlook some resources.

[Frost Plated Bone White] was quite a regrettable one among them.

Li Aozi opened the task interface:

——————————

[Frost Plated Bone White]

[Settlement Conditions]:

A. [Historical Progress]—Eliminate the current government of the Frost Plated Republic. (Invalid)

Reward: [Class Promotion Voucher]*1—Forcefully promotes one class, ignoring conditions and level restrictions.

B. [Desire for Change]—Reconstruct the human and societal structure of the Frost Plated ethnicity, restoring normal life for the Frost Plated People.

Reward: [Omega-Level Arcane Energy Amplifier]*1—Evolves one of your arcane energies to Omega Level.

C. [Ending the Evil Result]—Permanently eradicate issues between Frost Plated and the Outer World and ensure that the Frost Plated People do not go to extremes.

Reward: Omega-level Arcane Energy [Electromagnetic Force - Induction]

——————————

The internal coup within Frost Plated rendered the task invalid.

It was very unfortunate not to have received it.

[Class Promotion Voucher] naturally needed no more explanation. Li Aozi, as the monopolist of all resources on Baizhu Star and Azure Star, viewed the players like farmed piglets, simultaneously feeding them for robust growth and using their strong bodies to expand his domain.

Although a version update was imminent, Li Aozi was not in a hurry; the experience he had in hand was enough to sustain him for years.

With the endless supply of experience from the little piggies, coupled with the [Class Promotion Voucher], it was enough for Li Aozi to quickly advance.

[Omega-Level Arcane Energy Amplifier] was also a valuable item, too bad to miss. Li Aozi had several seeds of Sequential Arcane Energy in hand, which could be promoted at the time.

Most crucially, settlement condition C, the final task reward, was one of the core constructs of the [Meteor Fall Master]—[Sequence 8: Electromagnetic Force].

This was the granddaddy of all electric and magnetic field abilities, and it was extremely easy to master.

How easy was it to use?

If the game had started with the assistance of [Electromagnetic Force], Li Aozi wouldn’t have needed to work hard through various means to make players like the [Sovereign] series.

But unfortunately, [Electromagnetic Force] was, after all, Sequence 8, more powerful than [Gravity], [Dark Light], and [Canyue] in terms of destructive power, and it was impossible to acquire it in the early stages.

"My strength had reached a bottleneck. After transitioning to [Lunar String Archbishop], my combat style would undergo a huge shift, and the later stages would mainly involve using Meteor Fall Technique. If I could acquire [Electromagnetic Force] before heading to the Lower Starry Abyss, it would save me a trip back and forth, which would be very worthwhile."

Li Aozi made up his mind.

Previously, David Lyn’s sudden rise to power disrupted Li Aozi’s plans, and he wasn’t sure how far David Lyn could go.

After all, David Lyn was an iron-handed leader. If he couldn’t solve Frost Plated’s issues, then Li Aozi would have to intervene.

If push came to shove, he would send the Invincible True General over. It just so happened that Isaac had been idle recently, either drinking or partying. Whenever Li Aozi summoned his body, he was either in a club or at a banquet table.

Fortunately, the advanced medical care from Red Arrow had prevented any ill diseases.

"So many years have passed, and Frost Plated still hasn’t eradicated the cultural poison of the past. If it was just a matter of martial force, I could do it anytime. The key point is... after destroying the old, how to rebuild civilization? What kind of new Frost Plated should be established? Ensuring the interests of the Frost Plated People, so the question is, how can I ensure it won’t be overcorrected?"

Li Aozi pondered his plans while browsing. Suddenly, he stopped and looked ahead, saying softly:

"There’s no need to hide; I can see you."

As soon as Li Aozi finished speaking, the space in front of him rippled, and a beautifully crafted synthetic human slowly emerged from a subspace tunnel. She was wearing an elegant reception dress, bowing with her hands folded at her abdomen, she spoke:

"’Silver Hunter’ Li Aozi Dominet, it’s a pleasure to have you at the gathering."

She handed over a business card as she spoke:

"’Collective Planets,’ ’Shackles Breaker,’ ’Selfless Will’—Puro Retalya invites you."
