Chapter 458: Reaching Nami

Can this particle cannon still work? Okay, move it back.

Um, the console is 80% complete? Move it back!

What, you don’t want the part of mecha floating in the space? It is shameful to waste, Xiaozhi!

You want to drag away the whole starship? Well… Xiaozhi, we still have to be reasonable, just take away the precious metal parts.

Like a locust crossing the border, the defeated starship is quickly dismantled. There is only an empty shell that cannot be taken away. Others on “Friend” are full of admiration for the Edward starship—they did a clean job and picked the most precious trophies. Isn’t the Edward starship a pirate starship which pretends to be harmless?

They subconsciously forget how Lin Luoran nailed the fight. Blockhead is even convincing himself that Lin Luoran has to be the “humanoid weapon” launched by the Galaxy alliance, since the Edward starship is unidentified. After all, the Galaxy alliance is more advanced in technology. Yes, it must be like that.

How can a living creature destroy a starship alone? Even those from the alliance have to finish their education and study relevant majors for years to enter the operation room. The starship is powerful. It can send passengers, transfer commodities, and combat. This is the idea creatures are indoctrinated growing up in Nami Alliance and in the whole Galaxy.

They are proud of their starship and technology. Even if they see something contrary to what they believe, they will not be convinced in a short time. It can be rather painful to see the collapse of the worldview that one has established since childhood.

But the people on “Friend” still keep in mind what they see today.

For the unimposing Edward starship, the appalling pirates have more fear than curiosity.

Only Windsor, the female leader of the crew, feels different. She appreciates and admires the Edward starship, or Lin Luoran on the Edward starship!

Unfortunately, the excited Windsor doesn’t know that Lin Luoran is deeply influenced by Huaxia civilization. She believes a friend in need is a friend indeed. Those who bring icing on the cake can also be acquaintances, but they will find it difficult to be real friends.

During the ambush, “Friend” didn’t give a hand. Although they didn’t rob the Edward while it encountered difficulties, Lin Luoran would never trust a bystander.

Having fixed itself with materials from the enemy starship and equipped some weapons, The Edward is new again. The technological differences between alliances in Xiaozhi’s eyes are like new toys.

Finishing the fight, Lin Luoran also feels the space is full of unknown dangers. It is the worst place for her closed-door training. She has to wait till they get to the Nami Star, where she can make plans about her cultivation.

However, cyan little fox reveals its guilt. Under the pressure of Lin Luoran, the little fox does feel sorry. But it doesn’t have to wield its power when things were not that bad, right?

While the cyan little fox sounds reasonable, Lin Luoran is inevitably disappointed.

Things were not that bad, but how bad it had to be? The fox has got along for almost a year with the siblings of the Ma family, Han Weiya, and even Colin. Yet it still doesn’t care much about them. Lin Luoran doesn’t know if it is because of the inherent arrogance of the nine-tailed fox, or because they always spoil the little fox. Therefore it takes others’ contributions for granted. However, Lin Luoran and her family have been worried about cyan little fox for three hundred years. Has it ever thought about them and left a message?

With this in mind, Lin Luoran does not want to easily forgive cyan little fox this time.

The joy of victory on the Edward has been swept away. In the depressing atmosphere, everyone feels something has gone wrong between Lin Luoran and cyan little fox. But no one dares to bring peace. They all devote themselves to their job, working on the chilies.

Colin Weir stays up late and writes several promotion plans.

Ma Shuangshuang is learning Chinese cuisine in the center of Chuan province. Ma Yiming is forced to closed-door training. If he can’t find the sense of Qi, he is not allowed to participate in any other stuff.

Han Weiya is absorbed in the research notes on making elixirs. The cyan little fox is alone, guarding the repaired medicine field. It proudly raises its neck—the road to becoming king is destined to be lonely. It doesn’t care about those human race!

Entering the prosperous business road, the Edward encounters starships from time to time. The route to the Nami Star becomes safe.

The robots create utensils and bake chilies. One needs rapeseed oil to make chili sauce. Lin Luoran planted rape plants in the gap between the chilies. She saw Mrs. Lin making Chuan chili sauce when she was a kid. Being spicy is only part of the sauce. The best of it is the smell.

Grind the dried chilies into powder, add peppercorns, peanuts, broad beans, and some salt. Then pour the Chinese alcohol brewed with grain, mix it with rapeseed oil, let it sit, and seal it… Other steps are easy, but the problem is space does not produce salt. The food culture on Nami Alliance is diverse but so different from that of the Huaxia civilization. Thinking about that, Lin Luoran decides to keep the small amount of chili sauce for the crew. If she doesn’t cook Chuan dishes, she won’t be able to highlight the flavor of the chili sauce.

Since this is only for her friends, she is using the best ingredients. The fruit alcohol used to add flavor was sealed with earthen jars. Lin Luoran is looking forward to the fragrance the day she opens it.

The vinegar and soy sauce she brewed are both opened. Only two jars have gone bad. The terrible smell makes her blush out of embarrassment and she soon pours them out. The others all taste good. Her heart is filled with the joy of harvest.

Everyone is busy. Their life during the sailing becomes full. On the thirteenth day after the ambush was resolved, they come to the Nami Star.

This is a planet guarded by four satellites, much smaller than the N2 planet. It is about twice the diameter of the earth.

As the hub of the high-tech Galaxy alliance, the Nami Star is not filled with high-tech products as they expected. In fact, it looks better than the increasingly polluted earth before the New Era.

“There was a large-scale scuffle in the Nami Alliance. The Nami Star at that time became the center of chaos… After the war, the star was nothing but a post-war relic. To restore the home planet’s natural environment, people spent a huge amount of money every year. It is said the annual cost is enough to build a powerful space troop.”

This is the information Xiaozhi finds in the network. On the Nami Star, large-scale scientific and technological products are rejected. People believe in the pollution-free handicraft industry. All defense and heavy industries are arranged on the four arch satellites. On their home planet, there are even well-preserved ancient buildings more than a thousand years old. For people on the Nami Star, the perseverance in caring for the home planet is just like their loyalty to the royal family. Engraved in their mind, it even affects the entire Nami Alliance.

Lin Luoran is envious. Since the Nami Star can be rebuilt from the post-war relic, the earth can do it, too. She is looking forward to that day… Lin Luoran has a bold idea when she thinks about the man in the robe, creating lakes and mountains by writing. But she then gives up because her personal ability is too low.

Taking care of their environment, the Nami people even arrange their military defense on the four arch satellites. No one can get close to the Nami Star except through the passenger starship operated by the Empire and the military shifts.

The Edward lands on “Nami Satellite NO.1”. All the goods shipped to the Nami Star can be traded on four satellites. You can also ship them to Nami Star and lend a warehouse and sell them there.

The Edward can’t land on the Nami Star, which means someone has to stay on the starship. It can’t be leaked that Xiaozhi is an AI with independent consciousness. No one wants to stay. Lin Luoran knows they all want to go there.

Finally, Han Weiya offers to stay behind.

Ma Yiming finally finds the sense of Qi. The more original the planet is, the stronger the Reiki there. He needs to go for his cultivation. However, the siblings of the Ma family are always together. Anyone leaving will be worried about the one left behind.

Colin Weir is also responsible for selling chilies. As for herself, she has to find the mysterious designer Nolan Mancia.

“You stay here. When we settle down on the home planet, we will come to change shifts.”

Han Weiya is the most suitable one, although Lin Luoran is worried if this dummy will be tricked away with the starship!

Cyan little fox was going to stay on the starship, but Lin Luoran doesn’t want to spoil it this time. Kids need to know about their mistakes to correct them.

There are also many chilies in her space. The four of them easily get off the starship.

Watching the starship door close slowly, cyan little fox’s eyes are wet. It stubbornly refuses to cry. Han Weiya sighs quietly, feeling that the fox is very similar to her in the past—She was so spoiled that she did whatever she liked. She can hardly remember the days when she was a stubborn girl called “lady Zero”.

The moment Lin Luoran takes the siblings and Colin off the airship, Windsor and her crew come towards them.

It seems that they are not in a hurry to sell potatoes, but want to take the same passenger ship to the Nami Star. Lin Luoran doesn’t like or dislike them. Taking them as her former customers, she nods at them.

The pirates are silent. Only Windsor murmurs. “I had a feeling we would meet soon.”

Her brother who doesn’t look like her says, “Sister, are you going to change your job to be a fortune-teller?”

The pirates look up to the sky. No wonder he gets beaten. It is not worthy of sympathy.

Windsor, with flaming red lips, smiles, and waves at her brother. She is surprisingly calm. “Brother, come here.”

Brother? The fat man shudders. The unpleasant “Blockhead ” gives him a sense of security. Sister, don’t do this. You really don’t fit in the role of a lady—
