Chapter 92: The Flame Yellow Star System

  Li Bo woke up and didn't even glance at Yang Yunqiu, who was sitting on the side browsing the web, before pouncing over to grab the crispy fried chicken wings he had just roasted and stuffing them into his mouth.

  The more he ate, the brighter his eyes became, and he wolfed down everything, leaving no bones behind.

  Yang Yunqiu cooked a pot of half-dry and not thin white rice, he ate more than half the pot. This pot is not an ordinary small pot, but a large iron pot that can hold seven or eight people eating together without being enough.

  Finally having eaten his fill, Li Bo pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, turned around and left the Star Web, looking at Yang Yunqiu with great interest: "You can rescue me from the Cosmic Forest, proving you have skills. If you agree to give me that most beautiful woman among your captives to deal with, I'll help you for twenty years in my next life."

  Yang Yunqiu lost his smile, he thought this guy was going to say that he would die for him, but it turned out to be so petty. Twenty years is not a small number on Earth, but in this time and space, twenty years are really not considered long.

  However, Yang Yunqiu didn't even haggle over the price and agreed to it offhand, leaving Li Bo staring at him in incredulity.

  He was confident in his own abilities, but he didn't know the young man in front of him, and this young man couldn't possibly know him. To agree to a stranger's request so readily made Li Bo feel somewhat uneasy.

  But he has no other choice now, he needs allies and shelter.

  The power of the Cosmic Forest is too great, and if he doesn't quickly increase his strength and find more capable partners, the Federation will no longer have a place for him.

  Li Bo wanted that woman, and she was indeed the most beautiful one among the captives.

  Yang Yunqiu initially had the doll knock everyone unconscious, and didn't pay attention to their physical appearance. Now that she took a closer look, it was a beautiful woman with golden hair and black pupils, a doll-like face, delicate skin, not like a pirate at all, but rather like someone from a noble family who had been pampered since childhood. She looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet she had a pair of long legs.

  The doll whistled: "Tongyuan ah!"

  Yang Yunqiu slapped this little guy away with a palm, and when he 'grew up', it's not too late to pay attention to the problem of 'childlike face'.

  Obviously, Li Bo was quite taken with the little beauty, but the little beauty didn't even give him a glance, and when she woke up, her whole face showed nothing but coldness and anger.

  Yang Yunqiu took a metal strip, wrapped it around the little beauty's arm, and threw the weak beauty aside, pulling Li Bo to the table and laughing: "The person is yours, fulfill your promise?"

  Li Bo was to work for Yang Yunqiu for twenty years, and Yang Yunqiu would guarantee Li Bo's personal safety with all his might. He wrote down the terms in detail on a piece of rare sheepskin paper from that era and pushed it in front of him.

  Signature.

  Li Bo raised an eyebrow incredulously: "I'm a galactic pirate, when have you ever seen a galactic pirate who keeps his promises?" Besides, the way they signed this contract was illegal in both the Federation and the Empire, making it ridiculously easy for him to tear it up!

  "This is no ordinary contract, just sign it."

  Yang Yunqiu couldn't help but smile, and thought that the companion he chose wasn't bad, at least not a hypocrite. Although in the book Li Bo was described as a sinister and cunning person, he didn't mind having a more cunning partner.

  It's different from the Shang Dynasty now. He didn't want his students to enter this time and space, but no matter what one does, it won't be convenient without helpers.

  Choosing Li Bo, firstly coincidentally ran into him, secondly stopped one person from going down the road of crime, also a good deed.

  Although this space-time is just an ordinary lower-level plane, it is also a complete world and can still obtain merits from the masses.

  Li Bo stared at him for a while, took up the contract and carefully read it word by word, then hesitated before signing his name and pressing his handprint.

  "Alright, contract established."

  Yang Yunqiu put away the things and stuffed the little beauty into his arms, letting the two of them sort it out themselves.

  It's also unknown how Li Bo managed to talk to the beautiful woman, but after half a day, the cold and beautiful woman was already following him honestly, although not obediently, without any intention of rescuing her companion.

  Even if she wanted to save people, there was no antidote and it would be of no use anyway.

  For ten consecutive days, the three of them lived peacefully on the spaceship. Yang Yunqiu spent most of her time hiding in the starry net, while Li Bo held his communication device and scribbled some notes, seemingly pondering something, occasionally exchanging a few words with others.

  Yang Yunqiu knew that Li Bo was an orphan who had been wandering in the universe since childhood, doing all sorts of things. Although he never formally attended school, he was clever and eloquent, able to talk his way into getting some special skills from those interstellar pirates. Nowadays, Li Bo is considered "erudite" and has a deep understanding of various criminal methods.

  Always traveling in space, Li Bo was used to this life, but Yang Yunqiu felt a bit uneasy. Although the life on the star network was colorful, he had to be constantly vigilant against interstellar pirates' attacks, meteor showers and all sorts of dangers on the spaceship, so he didn't dare to practice meditation with peace of mind. He even skipped his daily two sessions of sitting in stillness, which were as regular as thunderstorms. If they couldn't reach their destination soon, he was afraid that they would think about finding a planet to settle down for a while before taking action again.

  It's time to eat again.

  Li Bo and the beautiful woman named Xiao Yu sat down at the dinner table, both pairs of eyes staring unwaveringly at Yang Yunqiu.

  Since the two of them joined, the consumption of natural ingredients has increased by more than five times. Fortunately, he considered that it may not be possible to get fresh ingredients immediately after arriving at the Huang Star System, so he specially brought all the food from home. Otherwise, with their two big appetites, they might have had to rely on nutrient supplements to survive the miserable cosmic drift.

  Sometimes, Yang Yunqiu wondered if it was because her cooking was too delicious that Li Bo didn't resist getting on his own pirate ship. It seems that having good culinary skills is indeed valuable, especially in a time when people eat garbage food.

  He decided to make his good cooking skills shine, and couldn't just have others cook for him while he was lazy in the kitchen.

  Yang Yunqiu ate elegantly, while Li Bo and Xiao Zou wolfed down their food, not even leaving the oil in the plates. Watching them made him frown, and he coldly said: "Starting from tomorrow, I will train you on dining etiquette."

  Li Bo raised his head dazedly.

  Yang Yunqiu raised an eyebrow and smiled: "You won't be doing any intergalactic piracy from now on, I've decided to attend the Federal University, and after graduation, I'll directly take the exam for the Federal Special Police Force."

  "Cough...cough."

  Li Bo was shocked.

  "Of course, as my subordinate and companion, you'll have to come along too. Don't worry, your records will be completely clean. Since we're going to live in the Huang-Yellow star system for a long time, especially in the capital planet, we often need to interact with the upper-class nobles, so your dining etiquette can't go wrong." Yang Yunqiu called over the household robot to clear away the leftovers and then turned back to the star network.

  Du Liu was left with Li Bo, who suspected that he had misheard something - he had been an interstellar pirate for over a decade, and now he was going to take the police force exam? The police and bandits were sworn enemies!

  No matter how Li Bo struggled, after a long and arduous journey of over twenty days, they finally arrived at the Yanhuang Star System.

  Yellow Emperor Star System

  Purple Cloud Planet, Xia Lin Gang

  A small, sleek private interstellar spaceship was towing a large spaceship, which was quite eye-catching, especially with the four characters "Cosmic Forest" written on the side of the larger ship.

  The entire port of Shanghai was placed on high alert throughout the summer.

  The commander of the Federation fleet at Port Summer has not yet given the order to attack when a signal requesting access appears on the comms system.

  Appearing on the big screen was a boy who looked very young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a magnificent black Chinese tunic that he had only heard of in legends, with elegant demeanor, and on the table in front of him were exquisite dishes that delighted the eyes.

  The commander immediately restrained his arrogance and respectfully asked: "May I ask who you are?"

  "Hello, Commander. I am Liao Xianyun. While traveling through the galaxy, we accidentally collided with the Cosmic Forest, so we had to return and bring them to Xia Lin Port. I hope you can accept these prisoners."

  As she spoke, Yang Yunqiu took out a sensor.

  The commander was shocked to hear this, and upon investigating his ID card, he found that except for knowing his name and being a citizen of the capital star, all other information could not be accessed, and his words and deeds were even more respectful.

  After all, his status is not low either. With the special nature of his work, he has the authority to inquire about many important noble identities in the capital star. Those who are not allowed to inquire about their identity are either extremely high-ranking or have a special work nature. In any case, he can't afford to offend them, so he quickly arranged for Yang Yuxiu's spaceship to enter the port.

  After assigning personnel to take away the string of captives, checking their identities, and presenting the reward money to Yang Yunqiu, the commander personally handed over the bounty.

  There are actually 50,000 star coins?

  Yang Yunqiu was also somewhat surprised, he knew that the people he had caught were all small fries, except for three who might be worth something, the others were just added heads, it was clear that this commander was acting on his own.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled and nodded, then left without saying much.

  The commander saw them off from Xia Lin Port and then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a faint smile, letting out a sigh of relief.

  Although these few prisoners are worthless, he can't just give them over a thousand star coins and send them away. You know that such a young master might spend more than a thousand star coins on a single meal, so giving them only that much would be humiliating.

  The supplies on the spaceship were running low, so Yang Yunqiu planned to take a short break on Planet Ziyun and get ID cards for Li Bo and Xiao Zhu.

  To enter Capital Star, Yang Yunqiu has now obtained the identity of the original protagonist Liao Xianyun, so there is no problem. However, Li Bo and Xiao Zhu are not allowed to enter and reside permanently.

  This space and Earth are a bit similar, the capital star is a place where everyone in the entire universe federation wants to get in, so it's naturally strictly controlled. If you sneak in and get caught, it's not just deportation, you'll have to go to jail and be put on the blacklist, losing any chance of entering the capital star from then on.

  Wa can modify the file, find an excuse, and let Li Bo and others obtain permanent residence rights. Although it is still far behind those who were born in the capital star and naturally have a household registration in terms of education and welfare, it is also the best result for people from other planets to enter the capital star.

  Nowadays, in order to obtain the true status of a capital star, only those who were born there and passed the standard test as infants, or made significant contributions to the Federation, are eligible.

  What is called a major contribution, isn't just an ordinary small contribution. I heard that in the past 100 years, only the former Academy of Sciences, Director Lin, due to his research on high-level mech armor exceeding three generations above the Empire's, was personally approved by the Federal Prime Minister and obtained a Capital Star household registration, aside from him, no one else has received such an honor.

  Yang Yunqiu looked at these materials and was speechless - originally thought that this time and space was the future, should be more open-minded, long gone are the days of identity restrictions, after all, productive forces are highly developed, even in the poorest areas, no one will starve to death or be unable to see a doctor, what's the big deal about where you were born? This kind of household registration system should have been abolished long ago.

  After all, in the 21st century, household registration has a very small impact on a person.

  Unexpectedly, it's not only still here but has become even more severe.

  Every time in a different space-time, if there is no ability to change the rules, then one can only choose to comply. Yang Yunqiu had WaWa help Li Bo and Xiao Zhu obtain their residence permits, first finding a house with a large courtyard and storage room to live in, which made it convenient for him to purchase supplies.

  The planet of Ziyun, although not famous in the Yanhuang star system, is also a large planet with a thriving market and a wide variety of goods. Through the stellar network, Wa had ordered a considerable amount of materials, including some for making its own brain carrier and others for forging a mecha suitable for Yang Yunqiu's use.

  Yang Yunqiu has recently become very interested in mecha and plans to take the driver's license exam first, then participate in the test to become a true mecha pilot.

  The driver's license is relatively easy to obtain, and with his current ability, as long as he takes the exam, he will definitely pass and get the certificate. However, to truly become a mech pilot, who can load weapons on the mech, participate in wars, and own their own mech, they must go through three rounds of elimination. Every year, there are tens of millions of drivers who want to become mech pilots, but only less than a thousand succeed.

  Of course, wartime is an exception.

  Yang Yunqiu was like a demon, lying on the starry internet to study various mecha textbooks. He didn't look at those messy and countless tactics, but only looked at the data, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each type of mecha. In his spare time, he used the materials purchased by WaWa to build mechas for himself, until Li Bo and Xiao Zou had almost turned the entire planet of Purple Cloud upside down, did he finally break free from his demonic state.

  "Aren't you supposed to be reading at Federal University?"

  Li Bo strolled back from outside, rarely seeing Yang Yunqiu not connected to the star network, and smiled, "I've checked, registration has started, the exam is next June, and one person's annual tuition fee is 500,000 star yuan. We need to attend for eight years, plus the high cost of living in the capital star, as the boss, you can't not be responsible for my expenses... no matter how calculated, the money in your account won't be enough."
