Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 780 - 650: Act According to the Circumstances (Page 1/3)

Many corporations are mining resources in the Asteroid Belt, so it’s not surprising to see starships here.

Especially crucial is that many starships are armed merchant ships—they need force to protect mining operations, and transport ships must be safe from looting.

Is it rare? It’s really not rare at all; resources turn into money quickly and are hard to trace, making them the favorite of most capitalists.

Even now, in the Asteroid Belt of Celestial Blade Star, fighting and killing are not uncommon.

However, small powers generally don’t dare to easily involve themselves in the conflicts anymore, only the giants dare to delve in.

The most a small force can do is contract a vein and earn some hard cash.

Since arriving at Celestial Hook, Qu Jianlei has intentionally gathered intelligence here, and with Xiao Hu’s help, he knows quite a bit.

He was quite surprised that the Star Thieves chose this place as their base.

Given the current strength the Star Thieves have demonstrated, he feels it’s not hard for some large power’s protective warships to wipe them out.

So, is this the darkness under the lamp? Qu Jianlei isn’t sure if his thoughts are correct.

But he can be certain of one thing, the Star Thieves’ jump points are... unusually close to the Asteroid Belt.

Normally, a starship jump is best done away from star bodies, otherwise it may bring uncontrollable risks.

In his many interstellar travels, the starships he rode needed to travel for at least a day and a half before considering jumping.

Likewise, the endpoint of a starship jump should have absolutely no nearby star bodies... maintaining at least a day and a half’s travel distance.

But their current jump endpoint is only half a day’s journey from the Asteroid Belt.

This means the Star Thieves might have mastered a more advanced or accurate jumping technology.

Realizing this, Qu Jianlei was indeed shocked, could the Star Thieves’ technological level surpass the Imperial?

But technology is really hard to pin down; accumulation is the foundation, yet occasionally mutations are permitted.

Half a day later, three starships landed on an asteroid.

Ad slot: Chapter read

This asteroid isn’t small, with a diameter exceeding five hundred kilometers.

The planetary phenomena around the asteroid are exceptionally complex, with many unknown sources of radiation that can cause cognitive chaos in ordinary people.

Qu Jianlei analyzed and concluded that such an environment can be considered to possess hallucinatory capabilities.

After the starship passed through the complex phenomena and entered the asteroid, it was confirmed that the natural environment on the asteroid was terrible.

The weather is freezing with cosmic radiation rampant, especially crucial is that the asteroid doesn’t even have an atmosphere.

”Minus over two hundred degrees, doesn’t seem that cold,” Qu Jianlei released his perception.

”That’s because you’re powerful,” Xiao Hu replied leisurely, ”In minus over two hundred degrees, I would need to preheat before starting.”

But to be honest, the asteroid chosen by the Star Thieves has its merits.

The rocks of the planet have a high oxygen content, which is sufficient, and due to complex phenomena, there aren’t many minerals, so no one cares about it.

The asteroid lacks water, but that’s no matter; there are many Awakened with Water Attributes among the Star Thieves.

Certainly, relative to the number of Star Thieves, Awakened with Water Attributes are still few, but... can’t they be recycled?

The three warships descended onto a wide crevice, and a large door on the crevice’s stone wall rose slowly.

This door was over a hundred meters tall and more than three hundred meters wide, rising at a decently fast speed.

Seeing the large hydraulic columns on either side of the door and the slanting traction cables, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but nod secretly.

Such magnificent engineering isn’t much in the Imperial, but for the Star Thieves to create this, it’s clearly not a shadowy settlement.

After entering the gate, the inside had its own hidden charm, quite spacious, with a bit of the Celestial Blade Star Underground City’s feel.

Qu Jianlei leaned on the alloy walking stick as he walked down the gangway, looking around for quite a while before a C-level Warrior, with two others, approached him.

”Are you Tesla? Follow me!”

Unusually, the Star Thieves also had security checkpoints; even Qu Jianlei’s alloy walking stick was thoroughly inspected.
