"To hope that these old Earth-era guns, and traps that probably couldn't even hold a wild dog, could capture the second-ranked top ten evil beings, I can only say your ideals are plump, but reality is too skinny," Bai Zhongqi shook his head at Lan Xue.
Lan Xue, pulling on Bai Zhongqi's arm, coaxed, "Uncle, you can't say that. Although the equipnt is simple, you're a formidable Star Warrior, after all. Plus, you're like Doraemon, with no end of good stuff in your pockets, just flashing a bit of it could probably set this planet ablaze."
Bai Zhongqi nodded, "What you say is not without truth."
Lan Xue's face was covered in smiles, but in her heart, she retorted, "This uncle is truly more shaless at boasting than . Even though the Golden Great Sail Ship is impressive, could it really destroy this planet in one go?"
Bai Zhongqi had co with the intention of treating this as a camping entertainnt trip, so he said, "Let's play with this primitive equipnt for a couple of days first, see if we can find sothing to shoot. If we're lucky enough to find so advanced weapons hidden by the park sowhere, that would be even better. Once we're about done, I'll join you in hunting the Hydra. After all, there's no ti limit for us here; playing for a week is no problem."
Lan Xue had run away from ho this ti and had suffered quite a bit. Hearing what Bai Zhongqi said, she felt sowhat at a loss. She had her own cabin in the captain's quarters of the Golden Great Sail Ship where she slept quite comfortably, with food and drink and even internet access (who knows which civilization's network she used). To ask her to survive in the wilderness for another week was truly like asking for her life.
Just as she was thinking about how to beseech her uncle to let her stay overnight on the Golden Great Sail Ship, suddenly, a great bird with a wingspan of over thirty ters, covered in colorful feathers and elegantly soaring, flew across the sky.
"Ah! It's the Resplendent Phoenix Finch! Although it's not one of the top ten evil, it's still an extrely rare creature! It's said that even the original habitat of the Resplendent Phoenix Finch has vanished without a trace, and only the Hunting Planet still has them. Catching one of these could sell for several million!"
Bai Zhongqi was also sowhat surprised by the beauty of this huge bird, and although it wasn't human, watching this giant bird in the sunlight felt like admiring a stunningly graceful beauty.
"Should we do it?" Bai Zhongqi asked his daughter.
The young lady nodded vigorously, her little face screaming the words 'desire for money', "Yes!"
This father-daughter pair hurriedly drove their antigravity hunting vehicle, chasing after the quickly flying Resplendent Phoenix Finch. Clearly, the Phoenix Finch had noticed sothing behind it, picking up speed to the point where it was on the verge of breaking the sound barrier.
As Bai Zhongqi chased, he appreciated the grace of the flying bird. The environnt on the Hunting Planet was artificially created with different zones, and the dense jungle area they were now in was not only naturally near the planet's equator but also had artificially increased oxygen levels, causing the animals that grew here to be exceptionally large.
"Hurry, hurry, several million!" Lan Xue's eyes nearly turned into the shape of Corporation Coins.
But her small vehicle simply couldn't fly that fast, and just as the Resplendent Phoenix Finch was about to fly away, Lan Xue urged in desperation, "Uncle, do sothing quick, bring it down!"
Just as Bai Zhongqi was about to make his move, a trail of fire from the ground suddenly shot up and struck the Phoenix Finch. It let out a mournful cry and fell straight from the sky.
"Hey, Uncle, don't be so heavy-handed, if it's dead, that's a few million down the drain."
"It wasn't , okay?"
"Eh, it wasn't you, Uncle? Then who was it? Crap, it's a Humar Dog, absolutely must not let this slide."
Lan Xue rushed down with a furious face and saw a young man holding a weapon clearly only the rich could afford. He was flamboyantly dressed and accompanied by several lackeys.
Lan Xue jumped out of the antigravity car and accused the guy who looked every part the rich and powerful second-generation, "Hey, have so decency, will you? Didn't you see we had engaged the creature and were in pursuit? Stealing a kill at this mont really makes one wonder how your mother raised you."
The young man carrying the big gun saw a blonde girl co forward ranting, followed by an annoying-looking uncle, threw away the cigarette he was puffing on, and said, "Who do you think you are? You don't even look at that la antigravity car you're driving, pitifully slow; you think you could catch this Phoenix Finch? Even without , you wouldn't have caught the bird."
The young man tossed his hair arrogantly, a lock of dyed blond hair swaying in cooperation, making Bai Zhongqi stare dumbfounded.
The young man handed his big gun to a bodyguard and said conceitedly, "From your look, you're obviously so adventurers from so backwater who want to catch a precious creature on the Hunting Planet and sell it for so money. Let tell you, I am the son of the Governor of Laconte from the Administrative Star of the Star Alliance, a noble of High Level Civilization. You scum of the Universe's poor, don't bother , go hide in your gutter. This Phoenix Finch, I will have it made into a specin and put it on display at ho. Co on, Ah Zhong, slaughter this bird."
The bodyguard complied and pointed the heavy gun at the distraught Phoenix Finch's head. But just as he was about to shoot, he saw that the man in the coat, who had been following them, suddenly stood between him and the great bird.
"This Phoenix Finch is ours; you can't kill it," Bai Zhongqi said in Chinese.
The young man was a bit surprised to run into a fellow countryman and beca even more arrogant. He walked over with a sinister look and said to Bai Zhongqi, "Yo, I didn't expect to find a compatriot here. You should be even more afraid of . In the Star Alliance, everyone has their place, and you can tell straight away that you're a LowB. Don't think that just because you've beco soone in the Star Alliance you're part of a high-level civilization. Let tell you, your kind depends on the breath of us nobles to live. Everything you have is just an illusion. What you have is actually ours. So what if this bird is yours? I'm nobility, I'm better than you, I can just take your things, and what can you do about it?"
Bai Zhongqi looked at the arrogant noble youth, whose neck veins bulged as he brought his face to within half a ter of his own, without any change in expression.
Suddenly, he said indifferently, "Eighteen years ago, soone used logic similar to what you just spouted to take sothing of mine."
The privileged young man impatiently drew his pistol, holding it at an angle, probably to show off his wild and unruly nature.
"I don't give a damn about your history... Ah!"
He suddenly let out a scream of pain as he found his arm had been twisted backwards. A great force acted upon him, causing him to kneel before Bai Zhongqi.
The other bodyguards were shocked, but when they tried to draw their weapons on Bai Zhongqi, they found themselves overwheld with fear, a cold sweat running down their spines, and unable to move their limbs.
Bai Zhongqi turned around and gently stroked the injured Linlang Luan Bird, which seed to sense the man's goodwill, calming down a bit.
Bai Zhongqi's voice was low, "However, what's mine will always be mine. Even if soone takes it to show off as their own and even if they damage it beyond recognition, it can never really beco theirs."
He stood up, the sun shining over his shoulder onto the face of the now pale aristocratic youth. The only thing left on his face was fear; he felt that the man in front of him was terrifyingly powerful, towering like a deity, controlling life and death as a god would.
Even Lan Xue, who had been annoyed at being robbed just before, now looked a bit like a scared chick. Suddenly, the cool uncle had turned dark and scary.
"So the uncle doesn't like it when soone takes his things, huh? Eh, I seem to have secretly taken his pork bun to eat the other day. Should I confess my wrongdoings to him later?" Lan Xue wildly thought to herself, not daring to breathe a word as she stood by.
Bai Zhongqi approached the privileged youth and said, "Can the son of a Governor of Administrative Star be as worthless as you? It seems the Star Alliance has really rotted to the core."
The young man now understood this man was a fierce tiger. He quickly said, "Sir, it was all childish ignorance, please let off as if it were just a fart, I... I had no idea you were a Star Warrior."
Bai Zhongqi humd in acknowledgnt and said, "So you thought you could bully because you didn't know I was a Star Warrior? The person who took my things eighteen years ago didn't know how extraordinary I really am either, and still took my stuff. Unfortunately for you, I'm a very reasonable person; wrongdoings must be punished, and stolen goods must be returned, along with a price to be paid."
The youth bobbed his head like a pecking chicken and said, "You're absolutely right, Sir, absolutely right! You truly are a remarkable Star Warrior. I am at fault and I should be forgiven. My father is very rich, he's the Governor of Laconte, with plenty of money to give you. Ah, if you're not satisfied, I'll have my dad offer you a piece of land as your fiefdom? How about a tax exemption for a hundred years with permanent property rights? Ah ah ah, also, that person who took your stuff eighteen years ago, I'll have my dad handle him, make sure he's dead, until you're satisfied!"
Bai Zhongqi laughed and said, "Oh, can it really work like that? It's a sha though."
He said in a voice that only the youth could hear, "The person who took my stuff is the one who gave your father his position."
The youth's face changed dramatically, and as a noble, he naturally knew so things that could not be ntioned at present.
"You are...!"
Bai Zhongqi flicked his finger lightly, a ter away, and the youth's head snapped with a crack.
"Very clever, but you still have to pay the price for taking my things."
Lan Xue stood behind him, shivering; she thought her uncle looked cool while killing, but looking at him like this, she was truly frightened.
"Um, uncle, how about I make you dumplings tonight, lots and lots of dumplings?"
"What?"
