Chapter 192: A friend or a Foe?
Outermost Ring C, Radiation Belt, Space Custom Station No. 1340, Main Game Planet
The particles consisting of small and large space rocks swimming in the ring stopped as the space warped, slowly opening a black portal. The rocks stayed motionless until the black hole was four-meter in diameters.
A few seconds later, a tall silhouette slowly walked forth carrying several huge sacks on its shoulders, probably containing resources it harvested.
The other races resting in the Space Custom No. 1340 noticed the hole and the vague figure in it and have their information officers investigated who that was. The information officers waited for the silhouette to step out of the portal.
Once he will be out, the information officers will established communication and offer negotiation for the resources extracted inside the Main Game Planet in exchanged for an equivalent trade.
It was a common occurrence in all the space stations. Those that were from wealthy races sought the undeveloped and middle class races that were lucky enough to stumble upon rare items.
Most of the negotiations happened around the vicinity of the Outer Ring because there was a safety mechanism set to punish the parties who started a fight.
There had been records in the Oldest Federations’ archaic library of the eternal banning of the culpable parties when a fight broke out after the fifth centennial games concluded. It was said that the system obliterated the liable parties along with their spaceships and banned those races of the culprits from ever joining the games or visiting the planet.
One of the species that got involved happens to be of a wealthy and prestigious race and was enraged by the system’s actions. Its sent an army the next month to break in the main game planet only to be wiped out in a few seconds the moment they didn’t heed the warning of showing passes and stayed on the radiation belt beyond the maximum time.
The eyewitness narrated the event trembling from fear and it was recorded in the scrolls in that library. The army’s attacks consisting of Tier 6-8 mages, spell casters, and other classes didn’t even manage to create a tiny crack on the planet’s barrier.
The following events were more horrendous and unforgettable. The eyewitness was said to only see a blinding light before they heard spine-chilling screams etched full of pain and agony.
It happened only in the span of three seconds and after the blinding light dispersed none of single spaceship from the armada survived, all were reduced to white glowing particles.
The upper echelons of that race filled with regret and because most of their top warriors were caught in the mass obliteration, their defenses became lacking and was soon invaded by hostile forces.
Unable to defend, their planet got occupied and the original race in it was reduced to refugees scattered across the various galaxies.
From that day forward, no one attempted to cause even a tiniest of ruckus in the vicinity of the main game planet, too afraid to be obliterate as well.
Besides that, the system also helps in protecting their visitors’ privacy and identity by masking out their status. Any appraisal skill or item couldn’t bypass the system’s firewall.
None of the races could see the others’ true forms and only the spaceships’ design unless they leave the range of the main game planet.
That’s the main reason why there were spaceships stationed 24/7 and 365 days. It had became a black market.
A four-meter black portal emerged and Inside the medium-sized spaceship of the Lich race located in the Xenon Galaxy, the head of the expedition team tasked by the tall flamed creature to operate the ship saw the silhouette and have someone informed the Lich Mage since it was time for their Igretarius to come out.
The Lich Mage in the middle of video calling His Liege using a crystal orb received the subordinate’s good news and left the room but not before asking for the Liege’s permission.
The tall flamed creature waved his talon-like hands. "Bring me that dragon egg and be quick."
"Yes, my Liege." The Lich bent forward to pay respects before going out.
Once outside, the lich mage and other warriors assigned as escorts for the trips opened the hatch, waited at the side for Igretarius’ arrival.
After the silhouette step out, the portal vanished and so was his figure.
A few seconds passed, seconds turned to minutes, until 15 had lapsed, Igretarius was nowhere in sight, which only means that silhouette in the portal was someone else.
The Lich Mage had a bad premonition.
"What is taking you so long?" The tall flamed creature’s angry voice echoed in the entire spaceship causing the liches inside to cower in fear and looked at the Elder.
"Elder, could Igretarius be..." One of the warriors tremblingly said in hushed voice.
"With three epic items on him, it’s impossible for Igretarius to die in there..." The Lich Mage dared not to think of the worse. If this expedition failed, they are bound to taste the Liege’s fury.
Meanwhile outside the edges of the outer rings turned into a boisterous market with the spokesperson in each spaceship throwing out their offers through their sound systems until their voices became hoarse but no one came forward.
In a small capsule spaceship, the creature draped in a black cloak placed the sacks on the metal floor.
"How was the trip?" The operator asked with a smirk.
"Not bad." The cloaked creature yanked its mask off revealing a beautiful and pale face. Its red eyes shone in interest as it spoke.
"Did you find what you’re looking for?"
"Not but I found something more interesting..." The handsome creature occupied the seat next to the operator.
"What is it?" The operator was curious. This handsome being next to him had never taken an interest on anything.
The handsome being crossed its legs before saying, "Apparently, a dragon- no scratch that, two dragons appeared in one of those mountains. Can you believe it?" There was a tiny laugh in the end, finding the words coming out of his mouth incredulous.
The operator was dumfounded and stammered. "Don’t joke around."
"I’m not joking. By the way, get me another pass. I’m going back during the monster’s tide. Maybe that dragon will show again." The handsome being’s lips stretched into smile.

Inside the living room of the Main Residence of the Salted Fish...
Little Mantou dragged the two gluttons away from his Master to prevent them from getting poisoned and launching a series of stench bombs and suffocate this place.
The little ginseng and lotus struggled out of his grasp. "Kya!" "Ji ji ji."
The two cried injustice.
"What are they saying Little Mantou?" Li Chunhua asked.
"Master, they are just saying nonsense." Little Mantou lied through his teeth to save lives.
The two gluttons glared at him. The fox cast them a displeased look. I’m saving you from a diarrhea catastrophe. Do you want to dance salsa all night? These ingrates...
