Chapter 2967 Star Pirates Hunting Plan!
While speaking, Fu Mi"s voice remained cold, yet unlike before, it now carried a sense of disdain, adding a touch of frigidity to her tone. She made no effort to conceal her indifference in front of Lin Yuan. This demeanor was characteristic of Fu Mi—there was no need for pretense.
Despite Lin Yuan expressing a desire to spare her life, he wouldn"t dispose of her simply due to her personality. Fu Mi aimed to remain authentic even as Lin Yuan"s subordinate. Her recent behavior provided Lin Yuan with insight into her character.
Devils were inherently cold and selfish beings, p.r.o.ne to plotting and scheming. Fu Mi was confident that Lin Yuan could discern her devil bloodline.
Lin Yuan could not be bothered to witness such a spectacle. Based on his understanding of this star pirate group, their connections were merely superficial, devoid of any genuine friends.h.i.+p. The source of Sixth Brother"s anger wasn"t his deep bond with Fu Mi but rather the sense of betrayal he felt from her.
Sensing Lin Yuan"s impatience, Liu Chen immediately controlled the star pirates other than Fu Mi.
Lin Yuan told Fu Mi, "I have two devil groups under my command. Since you have a devil bloodline, why don"t you join them for training?"
After making the arrangements, Lin Yuan prepared to leave the meeting room. Liu Chen and Liu Yao would help the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen use the holy spirits to refine the holy maids and absorb the other holy spirits.
Fu Mi"s eyes flickered upon hearing Lin Yuan"s arrangements for her, and a wave of worry surged through her.
Two devil groups? Joining them couldn"t possibly be easy. With only devil"s bloodline coursing through her veins, she knew she couldn"t outsmart those pure-blooded devils, no matter how hard she tried.
Rather than focusing on honing her schemes, Fu Mi yearned to strengthen her abilities. She dreaded the thought of being trapped in a world where countless individuals conspired against one another.
When she thought about how Lin Yuan had used Holy Spirit and Divine Kingdom experts as bait, Fu Mi hurriedly found a way out for herself. "Lord, I"m in charge of contacting the star pirates. I have connections with many high-end star pirates. If you plan to capture other star pirates, I can help you arrange for them to fall into your trap. You only need to arrange for a few experts to control those star pirates. The relay station outside Treasure City is an excellent location."
Compared to the relay station outside Treasure City, Fu Mi felt that this area of North of the Lonely River was more suitable to attract those powerful star pirates. None of them had explored this area, so it would be easier for others to believe her if she made up some lies.
However, Fu Mi could sense that Lin Yuan valued this area very much. It was obvious that he did not want outsiders to enter. Moreover, he had been arranging for people to patrol this area. Otherwise, they wouldn"t have been discovered the moment they arrived in that area.
When Fu Mi saw Lin Yuan turn around to look at her, she knew that she had made the right bet. Lin Yuan"s gaze toward Fu Mi was more serious than before. Previously, Fu Mi had guessed his thoughts, but now she seemed to understand his needs.
Lin Yuan indeed needed many Divine Kingdom and Holy Spirit experts to feed the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.
Lin Yuan had his own rules, so he set his sights on the star pirates and did not plan to use other lifeforms to nurture the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.
Fu Mi had connections with the other powerful star pirates, and being able to help Lin Yuan gather them was equivalent to helping Lin Yuan.
"It"s rare for you to have such thoughts. As a star pirate, you have harmed countless species. In the future, I will set up an organization to fight against star pirates for you. You will develop this organization. This is the start-up fund for your organization. From now on, I will distribute resources to you according to the number and level of star pirates captured by your organization.
"Later, I"ll arrange for someone with sufficient strength to hold down and preside over your organization. He won"t help you make decisions or restrict your movements. However, he"ll give you martial force support and ensure safety when dealing with other star pirates."
Having said that, Lin Yuan left the meeting room.
Fu Mi was glad that she had obtained this opportunity so that she did not have to fight with the devils for survival. Not only did Fu Mi secure better survival opportunities for herself, but she also effectively gained the authority to establish her own faction.
Although Fu Mi used to be a star pirate, she did not find it unacceptable to clean up the star pirates.
Fu Mi probed the fey storage box with her spiritual energy and saw that it contained many Creator resources. They shocked even a star pirate like Fu Mi, who was used to seeing wealth.
Liu Yao walked to Fu Mi"s side and whispered, "Today, the other members of your star pirate group are all unlucky, but you are certainly the lucky one. Lord Lin Yuan is extremely generous. If you work under Lord Lin Yuan, you will benefit greatly in the future. You have to seize the opportunity!"
Liu Yao initially dismissed Fu Mi, considering them to be on different levels. However, after Fu Mi demonstrated determination in securing a path for herself and Lin Yuan forgave her, Liu Yao acknowledged her presence.
Previously, Liu Yao didn"t view Fu Mi as significant. However, with Lin Yuan granting Fu Mi authority to form a faction, the situation changed. If Fu Mi performed well in the future, she could earn Lin Yuan"s trust as a valued subordinate. Consequently, Liu Yao was now open to cultivating a positive relations.h.i.+p with Fu Mi.
Having observed Fu Mi"s cold demeanor before, Liu Yao wasn"t inclined to establish a genuine connection with her.
Upon hearing Liu Yao"s words, Fu Mi, typically reserved, nodded in acknowledgment, signaling her willingness to engage with Liu Yao.
From the moment Fu Mi saw the resources in the fey storage box, she knew how generous Lin Yuan was to his subordinates. At the very least, following a leader like Lin Yuan would not be as oppressive as Pang Jie. If Pang Jie had not been sucking the blood of the other members, the strength of the star pirate group would at least be much stronger than it was now.
Fu Mi was very confident in her ability. If Lin Yuan could arrange for someone with sufficient strength to ensure her safety during the operation, she would definitely be able to capture numerous star pirates in a short period.
To Lin Yuan, enhancing the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen wasn"t just about boosting his own power—it also meant generating valuable growth resources for Sky City.
Fu Mi"s organization held immense significance for both Lin Yuan and Sky City.
Summer wanted to nurture Thriving Summer Rising Clouds on the banks of the Lonely River. Spring was the best partner for Wen Yu and the Moon Empress and could help them deal with the matters in the territory.
As Winter was best at traveling, Lin Yuan wanted him to make a trip to the North Universe. There had to be someone guarding the faith country. After thinking about it, Lin Yuan believed that Autumn was most suitable to establish this organization with Fu Mi. Moreover, Autumn was also the one who liked to fight the most among the four of them.
After spending considerable time interacting with Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, Lin Yuan had developed a deep understanding of their temperaments.
Autumn, in particular, emerged as the most sensitive among the quartet. Previously, he tended to overa.n.a.lyze whenever Lin Yuan made any arrangements.
This time, Lin Yuan decided to approach Autumn directly, intending to clarify the significance of the upcoming operation. Such a gesture could also serve as a gesture of appeas.e.m.e.nt towards Autumn.
However, Lin Yuan wasn"t in a rush to discuss his arrangements with Autumn. While he had been listening to Fu Mi talk about the star pirate group, the Star Vastness Peony had informed him about the communication request from the child ramet.
Through his conversation with Fu Mi, Lin Yuan realized that the star pirates had no connection to Fortune Treasure Palace, dispelling his previous misunderstanding.
Having already kept the Palace Master of Fortune Treasure Palace waiting for quite some time, Lin Yuan saw no reason to delay further. Doing so might imply a lack of regard for the Palace Master"s time.
Mutual respect was essential for cooperation, especially when both parties were willing to collaborate.
After returning to his room, Lin Yuan summoned the Star Vastness Peony and let it open the starlight link through Starlight Teleportation. Not long after, the Star Vastness Peony"s secondary flower responded to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan found himself drawn into a sky filled with stars, enveloped by a s.p.a.ce unlike that of the Astronomical Parliament. There, the starry expanse was thinner, yet more mysterious, allowing only their solitary meeting. Despite the distance, the ability to communicate face-to-face was truly astonis.h.i.+ng.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard the Star Vastness Peony"s voice. "Master, do you want to hide your figure and appearance? If you need me, I can use the constellation to cover you up so that he won"t be able to see through your appearance. All the consciousness in this star bond needs to be transmitted by me. No matter how strong he is, he won"t be able to spy on your situation through the constellation!"
Lin Yuan looked interested. He felt that he had to make himself more mysterious. Moreover, Lin Yuan did not like others to know his appearance. It would be inconvenient for him to travel outside in the future.
"Star Vastness Peony, help me cover it with the constellation."
As soon as the Star Vastness Peony enveloped Lin Yuan, the Palace Master teleported over, his expression betraying clear shock at the scene before him. However, his surprise was fleeting, vanis.h.i.+ng from his face almost as quickly as it had appeared.
The Palace Master appeared to be a middle-aged man, with his long chestnut-colored hair pulled up into a high tie. Strands of hair at his temples cascaded down to his chest, nearly reaching the level of his beard.
Despite his casual attire—a flowing jade-green robe—he emitted an aura of n.o.bility and refinement.
A high-quality jade-green brooch adorned his chest, featuring a Jade Blood Phoenix Eye Stone of exceptional grade. This stone rivaled the Sacred Body Stone in quality, though it was not as costly.
Nevertheless, the Jade Blood Phoenix Eye Stone embedded in the brooch alone could fetch at least two Sacred Body Stones in exchange. The artifacts adorning the Palace Master reflected Fortune Treasure Palace"s true wealth and prestige.
"h.e.l.lo, my name is Lin Yuan. I believe that Zhan Lu has introduced me to you and that you already know some information about me. I"m very happy to meet you."
Ling Muzhuo had been pondering different ways to connect with Lin Yuan. He had decided to approach Lin Yuan only after grasping his background. Ling Muzhuo was intrigued by the resources Lin Yuan utilized to trade with Fortune Treasure Palace. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have readily met with such an esteemed guest of the Palace.
This method of introduction led Ling Muzhuo to suspect that Lin Yuan was attempting to showcase his abilities. Yet, Ling Muzhuo couldn"t quite grasp the purpose of this approach, prompting him to focus more closely on Lin Yuan.
"My name is Ling Muzhuo. Have you heard of my name? Now, in the East Universe, I"m the Palace Master responsible for managing the internal affairs of Fortune Treasure Palace. I"m firmly in the top position in the East Universe"s Fortune Treasure Palace.
"In the future, if you wish to trade with Fortune Treasure Palace, it will be more convenient for you to look for me than Zhan Lu. Moreover, I have more power on my side. I can take out many resources that Zhan Lu can"t trade with you."
Ling Muzhuo shared Lin Yuan"s thoughts, but unlike Lin Yuan, who showcased his capabilities through a unique method, Ling Muzhuo opted for a straightforward approach to a.s.sert his status and authority in Fortune Treasure Palace.
In Ling Muzhuo"s view, there was no reason for Lin Yuan to decline his proposal for resource trading.
Ling Muzhuo had confirmed that Lin Yuan and Zhan Lu lacked a significant personal bond. Their relations.h.i.+p had formed recently when Lin Yuan visited Fortune Treasure Palace. With this limited connection, Lin Yuan had no need to fret over Zhan Lu.
Fortune Treasure Palace operated uniquely, with four Palace Masters in each dimension. These masters had distinct rankings primarily determined by points. Similarly, leaders overseeing various regions within the faction also held rankings based on their points. Everyone relentlessly pursued point acc.u.mulation.
Ling Muzhuo"s current actions were equivalent to s.n.a.t.c.hing a channel to obtain points from Zhan Lu. However, Ling Muzhuo would compensate Zhan Lu in other ways, so Zhan Lu would not have much objection to his actions. Even if Zhan Lu had objections, he would not dare to show it.
However, whether or not Lin Yuan wanted to cooperate with him was up to Lin Yuan to decide.
Lin Yuan liked Ling Muzhuo"s directness, so he said honestly, "This is my first time here and I have never heard of your name. However, I am very willing to cooperate with you, Palace Master Ling. If you can satisfy my need for resources, I think we will become very good friends in the future!"
