Chapter 439: Mission Change
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Matrix civilization was one of the most powerful technological civilizations in the Bemond Galaxy.
Moreover, the Matrix civilization was very open-minded. During the early stages of the civilization, it had expanded territories continuously. But now, the Matrix civilization was already “expanding” in another way, and that was commerce.
Relying on advanced technology, the s.p.a.ceships of the Matrix civilization were extremely fast. They could travel to many planets in the galaxy, and trade with some civilizations on the planets to obtain the resources they needed.
They even did business with other galaxies beyond the Bemond Galaxy.
The territorial planets of the Matrix civilization were also maintained at 1,000. Including the home planet, Planet Matrix, there were only 1,001 of them. From then on, it did not continue to expand for thousands of years.
!!
Hence, the Matrix civilization was a peaceful, powerful, open, and inclusive civilization.
When Lin Feng pa.s.sed through the spatial pa.s.sage and arrived at the Matrix civilization, he realized that the other party was not surprised. In reality, even usually, some people from the Divine Palace would come to the Matrix civilization through the spatial pa.s.sage.
There were many trading venues in the Matrix civilization. They even traded some cosmic miraculous items, which were very helpful to cultivators.
Therefore, there were many cultivators in the Matrix civilization. However, no one dared to rely on their strength to act out in the Matrix civilization. The Matrix civilization had a specialized hunting team.
They controlled terrifying technological weapons that could kill even advanced planetary lifeforms.
Of course, such weapons were also considered strategic weapons. The Matrix civilization would not use them unless absolutely necessary.
Walking out of the spatial pa.s.sage, Lin Feng blended into the crowd. Standing in the downtown area, he heaved a sigh of relief deep down.
Compared to the air of oppression in the Blue River Empire, the Matrix civilization was really open and free. It was somewhat similar to Lin Feng’s home planet, and made Lin Feng feel as if he had returned to his home planet.
Even Lin Feng himself did not quite believe that fiends existed in such a powerful, prosperous, open, and inclusive civilization. However, since it was a mission and intelligence given by the Divine Palace, it should not be wrong.
The information provided by the Divine Palace was limited. They only suspected that there were fiends in the Matrix civilization, and their goal was unknown. The Divine Palace did not know what those fiends’ true goal was.
This mission was indeed a little tricky. Fortunately, there was no time limit. Lin Feng had plenty of time to investigate slowly.
As he had already done a mission in the Blue River Empire, Lin Feng had gained some experience. Any hidden fiend must have a motive.
For example, they would devour lifeforms. Planetary-level fiends might even devour planets directly.
Then, he only needed to investigate the major events that had happened to the Matrix civilization in the past few centuries. Longbetham was best at this.
Hence, Lin Feng entered the virtual network room and asked Longbetham to investigate the major events that happened in the Matrix civilization over the past few centuries. After Longbetham investigated, it actually reported many major events.
However, after Lin Feng a.n.a.lyzed them carefully, none of them was related to war or planets. Most of them were about major matters on economy and commerce, as well as news about some adventurers.
Adventurer was a relatively popular profession in the Matrix civilization. The Matrix civilization was highly materially developed. Many people chose to become adventurers in order to get a glimpse of the miracles of the universe. They piloted all kinds of s.p.a.ceships and left the Bemond Galaxy to some unknown galaxies. Of course, most adventurers never returned, but occasionally, some adventurers would send back news, and recorded the many other galaxies one after another.
The Matrix civilization even had a special television channel that reported on these adventurers. It was highly popular among the Matrix people.
However, could these adventurers possibly be fiends? Even Lin Feng himself could not really believe it. How could fiends be bored enough to go exploring? It would not be of any benefit to fiends either.
No planets were devoured, and no intelligent lifeforms had disappeared by the ma.s.ses. For the first time, Lin Feng felt the strangeness of this mission. If there were really fiends hidden in the Matrix civilization, what was their goal?
It had to be known that if fiends did not devour, they would not be able to improve, let alone undergo a life transition. Only by constantly devouring could a fiend improve continuously.
“Looks like I’ll have to stay in the Matrix civilization for a long time.”
Lin Feng did not give up. This mission would not be that simple. Otherwise, the rewards would not be so generous.
Lin Feng decided to stay in the Matrix civilization. He would treat it as if he was a tourist, here to properly experience the prosperity of the Matrix civilization. This kind of opportunity was rare for Lin Feng. Ever since he came to the universe, he had been cultivating non-stop like an ascetic. How could he have the time to experience the prosperity of the various civilizations in the universe?
Right now, he could just treat it as a vacation trip in the universe, and take the opportunity to relax himself.
Lin Feng checked into a high-end hotel directly. He had a large amount of energy units. This was hard currency in the entire universe. Even if he lived a life of pleasure in the Matrix civilization for a thousand years, he would not be able to use up that many energy units.
The Crystal Palace Hotel was one of the most luxurious chain hotels in the Matrix civilization. It received distinguished guests from all over the universe. Of course, the price was not cheap.
The Crystal Palace Hotel also provided all kinds of “entertainment programs”. There were even certain special services, but Lin Feng would not care for those.
He asked around for some “novel information” on the Matrix civilization. The hotel staff told him everything they knew. There was no need for Lin Feng to be so cautious.
The openness of the Matrix civilization surprised even Lin Feng.
During the ten days he stayed on Planet Matrix, Lin Feng went to various places every day to observe everything about the Matrix civilization. He realized that everything in the Matrix civilization was in order, and there was no chaos at all.
Moreover, the upper echelons of the Matrix civilization seemed to be very wary of fiends. Even some ordinary people knew about the existence of fiends. In the Matrix civilization, fiends could be said to be hated by everyone.
There was no s.p.a.ce for fiends to survive here at all. Lin Feng could not help but wonder if he could complete this mission.
Or rather, how could he complete the mission if there were no fiends in the Matrix civilization at all?
Just as Lin Feng was considering whether to leave the Matrix civilization and return to the Divine Palace to give up on this mission, he suddenly received a message from the Divine Palace.
“Beep. Disciple of the upper district of the Divine Palace, His Highness Domila has lost contact on Planet Matrix for eight days. It is very likely that he is in danger. The mission has now been changed. Find His Highness Domila, and investigate traces of the fiends in the Matrix civilization at the same time. Reward for accomplishing the mission is doubled!”
Lin Feng looked at this sudden message, and his expression turned solemn.
The disappearance of a Divine Palace disciple, and a disciple from the upper district at that, was a serious matter. He did not think that His Highness Domila had gone somewhere he could not be contacted. That was impossible.
As a planetary lifeform, how could Domila not know the importance of the mission? Lin Feng was clearly not the only one who accepted this mission. However, now that a dignified planetary lifeform had disappeared silently, the situation immediately became grim.
