Lin Yuetian spent a few more days in the hospital to recuperate.
After his physical function had returned to normal, the first thing he did after finishing his discharge procedure from the hospital was; go straight to the Admirals residence to find Vincent.
The System beca panicked and repeatedly tried to dissuade him,
[Brother, Big Brother! Forget it, just let it go this ti! That Admiral Vincent not only has a higher background than you, but his status is also nobler than you, even his ntal strength right now is stronger than you! The cha he uses is more expensive than yours, and of course, his combat experience is richer than you have! Are you still going to fight him like this? Dont do reckless things in a fit of montary anger! Keep the green hills, and you wont be afraid of running out of firewood![1]CN taphor, as long as one is alive temporary setback is nothing and there will always be future hope and chances.]
Who said I co to fight with him? While responding to the System, Lin Yuetian calmly inford the Butler and entered the Admirals residence. Just so you know, Im not that kind of lunatic who does irrational things.
When Lin Yuetian t face to face with the said Admiral, the other party was in the midst of handling military affairs in his study. The mont Vincent saw him, there was no such guilty conscience or embarrassnt on his expression, as he casually asked,
Whats the matter? Have you recovered your health?
[As expected, only an extraordinary individual could beco this extraordinarily shaless.] The System noted.
Lin Yuetian began to speak about his intention in coming here while keeping his eyes fixed to observe Vincents reaction. To sum it up, he humbly admitted,
I have nothing to complain about for what Your Excellency has put into.
In the first place, as a commoner and your subordinate, it is my duty to obey your every command and follow Admirals orders.
Admiral, if you wish to take my glands, or even if you wish for my life, I would give it to you without batting an eye. My loyalty has always been to the Empire!
Besides, Baron Sarah is better than in every way, and her background is definitely more suitable for you.
Shes such a wonderful person, even I cant help but admire her. Its only natural that such a person is the one Admiral should feel fondness toward.
It was foolish of to once have the delusion that Your Excellency will have affection toward myself. It is truly intolerable, a preposterous notion.
I have realized and acknowledged my fault, sincerely admit my mistake, and will definitely correct them,
, Then, I, Lin Yuetian am a sensible person. I understand my family background is not worthy of ntioning. Without my S-level ntal Power, theres a high possibility for to be sent back to my Motherplanet and may even be forced to get married. However, I am unwilling and I dont want to end up this way. Therefore, I hope Admiral to please consider our past camaraderie and thereby beg for your protection.
As the saying goes, the deal between people is not just about feelings, you cant be a lover but you can always be a good colleague. Please allow to continue to follow Your Excellency
Looking at how Lin Yuetian pledged his loyalty, with a sincere expression, the unceasing words were spoken with remarkable eloquence, the System couldnt feel more amazed. He thought perhaps so anthem-like BGM might suit the atmosphere better.
Admiral Vincent, on the other hand, took Lin Yuetians grandiloquence as a matter of course.
Based on the mory he got, Lin Yuetian learned that due to the existence of the NAS Empire, the distinction of class between people in the society was absolute. Thats why Vincent could be so shaless and righteously exploit the Original Owner without a shred of any guilty conscience, before, during the process, or after.
After all, Vincent was indeed, exceptionally powerful. As a noble blessed with an S-level ntal Power, he had the confidence and capital to be fearless in terms of strength and power.
In reality, those who worked hard like the Original Owner, believing that peoples fate was not controlled by birth but by efforts, thus unable to stand Vincents elitist behavior, were actually the minority in this world.
Therefore, Vincent just frowned slightly and responded with, The way you talk is unlike yourself today.
As a subordinate, now that I am deeply aware of the great cause and repenting over my past mistake, naturally I shouldnt be as presumptuous as before. Lin Yuetian answered respectfully.
Contrary to the normal reaction upon receiving such a sensible answer, Vincent seed to be displeased instead. Afterward, once Lin Yuetian proposed to drive his cha toward a nearby planet to clean up the existing Zergs, his displeasure was even more intensified.
In spite of it, Vincent was unable to find a reason to justify his naless anger and his personal disagreent with this proposal. He could only wave his hand, driving Lin Yuetian to hurry out, with an ugly look on his face.
***
Why did Vincent look so disgruntled earlier?
Lin Yuetian drove his cha into the space. Starlight and interstellar debris whirled in the horizons around him. He took advantage of this juncture to ask his System about things he felt baffled about.
[Even if I tell you the reason you wont possibly understand.] The System replied wisely.
[Brother, dont try to force sothing you are unable to comprehend.]
[Based on my observation, the things you did when youre actually clueless about a damn thing will be a bizarre outco.]
[After you forcefully learn about the complexity of Human Emotions and their bottomless whirlpool, your operation will simply be out of curiosity instead of understanding.]
[In this case, weighing both the risks and advantages, its obvious that the risk is more apparent. You better stay away from this Emotional drama and their blood and tears!]

In the days onwards, Lin Yuetian began his journey to hunt Insects.
Well, even if the Zerg in this world was called Zerg, they couldnt be classified into the ordinary insect sub-species. To put it bluntly, they were monsters, albeit with the slight resemblance of an insect in their appearance. Unlike ordinary insects, they had the wisdom and were even naturally-born powerful beings compared to weak humans.
However, the most distressing thing about them for the System was the fact that under the hard shells, their muscles and ats were filled with juice-like substances. Every ti Lin Yuetian killed one of them, the disgusting green liquids with so pulps would splurt and gush out ssily.
No wonder these chas are made of waterproof materials. Lin Yuetian comnted as he controlled his huge cha with Silver and Red as the base color, to grab a low-level Zerg and shred its body with his bare hand.
His other cha limb generated an energy lightsaber for the cha to wield[2]cha and lightsaber will look like this, more or less.
. Everywhere the blade grazed upon, the insects body parts flew out and splurting green juices followed. In the anti, Lin Yuetian also activated another piece of weaponry, a machine gun rose from the chas back, and imdiately a wave of energy bullets burst out, aid toward the Zergs in the distance.
One brain mobilized 3 actions at the sa ti. In addition to the rich combat experience in the Original mory, Lin Yuetians exceptional ability to learn and adapt skillfully also played a role.
One co kill one, two co kill two, One group co kill all. In the Zergs tides, Lin Yuetian was unstoppable, as if treading on top of a land with no Master. Completely having the stance of mowing the grass and cleaning up the ground.
[This planet is one of the battle zones between the NAS Empire and the Zerg Queen. There are only low-level and mid-level Zergs within a few hundred ters from here. You can take care of them on your own as if youre walking in the park. However, further inside, is the settlent of advanced Zergs. Dont get carried away! Pay attention to safety first!] The System nervously warned Lin Yuetian.
Between the mid-level Zerg and the advanced Zerg, not to ntion the Zerg Queen, the distinction between the 3 could not be put under the sa concept.
Low-level Zerg had almost no wisdom. They lived and killed following their basic instinct. Just like so NPC in a ga copy who got spawned automatically and werent bestowed any AI wisdom at the slightest. Dealing with dozens of them was just a matter of breathing.
Starting from the mid-level Zerg, the species began to have basic wisdom. They were able to think, aware of seeking advantages, and avoiding disadvantages in living and fighting. Their appearance was even more heinous but their combat ability was stronger. For soldiers whose ntal Power was under the A-level, its necessary to be careful when encountering these sub-species.
Lastly, the advanced Zergs and their legendary Zerg Queen were even more formidable in terms of power and combat proficiency. Even if the more powerful they were, the more monstrous their appearance was, however, the advanced Zergs were capable of shape-shifting and disguising themselves into a human form!
Thats right. Before the NAS Empire developed and applied the technology to detect a Zergs presence in the universe, humanitys defeats caused by a Zergs infiltration into their territory were countless.
In addition, the consciousness of advanced Zergs was directly connected to the Zerg Queen, forming a huge collective consciousness network among the colony. This peculiar setting enabled the advanced Zergs to have excellent tacit cooperation in battles. The difficulty to fight against them had also increased correspondingly.
Putting aside the Zergs level of danger, theres actually no particular reason for Lin Yuetian to fervently proposed to be sent here and hunted these Zergs.
Its simple, because, though the reason was unclear, but he found that the Zerg corpses could actually be sold for money on the black market!
At first, Lin Yuetian was in so dilemma. He wondered if earning money in this way would damage his professional spirit as a Hitman, or even stain his years of career and reputation. After all, he is an Assassin, not just so Villain who deals in any illegal affair.
But in the end, he was quick to figure things out. Being a Hitman ans you kill a living being for money. So it didnt matter whether the living being must be a Human or an Insect!
To elucidate in other terms, its like how Detective novels were divided into Cri Investigation and Mystery Solving cases. The assassination Industry could also be divided into those kinds of divisions as well! In conclusion, theres no need to be so tangled over killing so Insect to get his allowance~
The System could only admire Lin Yuetians ability to painstakingly construct a ticulous and roundabout logic in order to justify his next action.
He didnt care either way and solely put his concern over their Task. [So, when are you going to do the Task?]
Lin Yuetian replied, Ive done laying out the foundation.
[What do you an?]
Well, do you know Jing Ke[3]an assassin told in Biographies of Assassin, a chapter in Records of the Grand Historian, a monuntal history about Chinas 24 Dynasties History. See More Here, the ancestor of us, Assassin? Lin Yuetian asked him back.
[What? Are you testing the extent of my data storage?] The System didnt understand why he throw such a question.
Lin Yuetian leisurely controlled his cha to crush the low-level Zerg in his hand. The dark green liquid splashed on the chas smooth surface, and dripped slowly, tracing the machines contour.
He said, Theres so expression about Jing Ke, I dont know if youve heard about it or not.
[I know that Ive doubted your language proficiency before, so are you eager to prove yourself otherwise right now? Did you possibly get it when youre surfing online to read those cheap Scumbag Romance?] The System wondered. [Well, it doesnt matter, lets hear about it first.]
Lin Yuetian simply ntioned the phrase he referred to directly, Before Jing Ke assassinated King Qin[4]Qin Shi-Huang, CNs first Emperor. Before ascending as the Founding Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and was still under the na of King Zheng, a gentleman voluntarily offered his head[5]referring to General Huan Yi, a defector General from the Qin Kingdom. In the Warring States period ani&manga adaptation, KINGDOMS, hes known as Fan Yuqi. He offered his head and was Continue reading.
