"It could be considered so. Base Commander Shangguan Crane and Miss Mingzhu said the rabbits have a hidden recording function, capable of capturing videos of passersby. They play and explain them to us every day.
Base Commander Shangguan Crane said we must understand the outside world. When going on missions, the most important thing is to have information related to the mission. Even though we are staying here safely, we cannot be ignorant of the outside situation."
"That's right, we know a lot now.
......
Luo Yunshi nodded inwardly.
She hadn't expected her employees to be so outstanding, even using the rabbit food trucks to coordinate missions with them. She herself hadn't thought of such a thing.
Her employees' daily reports in the group chat were concise, not as detailed as this. Hearing the accounts from the citizens now, Luo Yunshi finally felt at ease.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Xingyi finished his negotiations for cooperation. Luo Yunshi then, with Xingyi and Xingxing, returned to the "Good Luck Come" shop on Praxus with Dali.
Another batch of fruits and vegetables from the "Tuantuan Preferred" selection was sold to the Central Alliance. With a thought, she was transported to the planet Lyra.
'Master, I've transferred the cooperation points to your account. The soil has been handed over to the planting robots for processing,' Xingyi said.
Luo Yunshi nodded in satisfaction, checking the transfer record received in her mind, feeling pleased.
'Good, well done. Let's play around on Lyra for a bit longer, pick some flowers, and then go play on Snow Star. When it gets dark, we'll go to Sunlit Star to experience daytime.'
'Yes, Master.'
'Then let's set off now!'
......
'What? You didn't see her near the garbage planet?' the woman shrieked, her voice filled with anger and disbelief.
'Yes, Your Majesty. We were indeed guarding very strictly and did not find any trace of Luo Yunshi leaving the garbage planet. We don't know where she went. However, we are monitoring near every planet, so please be assured, Your Majesty.'
The conversation with the military representatives also involved several skirmishes near the garbage planet. Perhaps Luo Yunshi took advantage of the chaos to escape. However, she wouldn't say this to the Queen.
The woman closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence, said,
'If she isn't killed, she will be an endless source of trouble. Whether it's poison, a surprise attack, or winning her trust, any method is acceptable. I'll give you one last chance. Simultaneously, order the insectoid forces on the garbage planet to retreat. If there is truly no other way, then after all the insectoids have retreated, let the garbage planet be... destroyed.'
The last word, 'destroyed,' was spoken by the woman in an extremely ominous tone.
......
At the same time, Luo Yunshi was unaware of the Insectoid Queen's plan for destruction.
She was still picking flowers with her butler and bodyguards, visiting the Lyra Zoo, and watching the culinary competition. She was having a wonderful time, eating spirit-infused food while playing.
At noon, she piloted her luxurious starship, applied for a flight path, and set off for Snow Star.
Luo Yunshi set the starship to autopilot. The ship accelerated into space and completed three consecutive warp jumps.
The surrounding scenery changed rapidly: at one moment, it was the vast, boundless cosmos; at another, a dark wormhole; and at yet another, a mysterious, brilliant vortex.
'Wow, what was that vortex just now?' Luo Yunshi asked curiously.
'That is a spacetime vortex, leading to unknown regions. According to research from the academy, the energy generated around different temporal vortices varies greatly, resulting in significant differences in time.
Around some spacetime vortices, time is extremely slow, almost static. Around others, time is extremely fast, passing centuries or millennia in the blink of an eye.
There have also been instances where a spacetime vortex disappears instantly when someone approaches it.
Several research teams or robots that were fortunate enough to enter spacetime vortices have done so, but none have returned.
Spacetime vortices appear in fixed areas, their duration is unpredictable, and they are extremely dangerous. Master, if you plan to pilot a starship yourself in the future, you must be careful,' Xingxing said.
Luo Yunshi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
Could the other side of the spacetime vortex be another dimension? Another universe?
Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded.
—'Warning, warning, there are a large number of insectoids on the route ahead.'
'Warning, warning, there are a large number of insectoids on the route ahead.'
Luo Yunshi immediately sat up straight in her recliner. She felt a bit nervous.
Is this where the action is? These insectoids really don't let anyone rest, and they seem to have targeted her.
Although she had practiced piloting a starship last night, and knew how to attack and escape, she hadn't expected to have to put it into practice so soon.
'Master, we are about to reach Snow Star. Should we leave or attack?' Dali asked.
'Master, first activate semi-automatic attack mode, and then combine it with what you learned last night for better operation,' Xingyi suggested.
'We don't even need semi-automatic attack. Just watch,' Luo Yunshi exhaled, gulping down several large mouthfuls of spirit spring water. She put away her Ovaltine bottle and, with a calm expression, looked forward.
'These buttons are just like a game keyboard. Your master played a lot of games before, so my hand speed is quite fast. Combined with my memory, I might not be as skilled as Master Winnie, but I shouldn't be too terrible.'
Following what she had learned the night before, and recalling Master Winnie's operations, Luo Yunshi's hands rapidly tapped on the control screen and buttons. The voice link opened, and a man's voice came through.
'Forward, registration number 0520, is this Boss Luo's starship?'
'That's right, it's mine,' Luo Yunshi replied, her fingers still moving quickly as she joined the battle.
The attack system activated, target acquired, aim, fire.
Boom!
A hundred or so giant octopuses, spewing venom, lunged at Luo Yunshi's starship.
The scene was incredibly exhilarating.
Luo Yunshi operated rapidly, executing a serpentine maneuver.
Boom! Boom! She fired a few more shots at them.
'Boss Luo, we are from the Ninth Military Zone, guarding Snow Star. The insectoids have left large numbers of their forces near various planets just to find you.
We are currently clearing the insectoids in the vicinity. Boss Luo, you don't need to help; please proceed to Snow Star as quickly as possible. They won't enter Snow Star, but there might be parasites, so please be extra careful.'
'Do you really not need my help?' She could have continued fighting, but she didn't know what missions or combat plans the Central Alliance had issued them. She didn't want to inadvertently cause trouble by trying to help without knowing the full picture.
She didn't want to end up in a situation where, because of her interference, she became a liability.
'Boss Luo, no need. These insectoids didn't expect you to come to Snow Star. There are fewer insectoids in this area, making them easier to deal with. You'll encounter many more on the route back to Praxus,' the man said with a smile.
'Alright. Then I'll be going. Please be careful yourselves,' Luo Yunshi said, firing a few more shots at the approaching imperial crabs and other insectoids. Under the cover of the Ninth Military Zone's forces, she sped away like a wisp of smoke.
The leader of the Ninth Military Zone felt a slight sense of relief upon seeing Luo Yunshi depart."
