Chapter 0003: The Three Silver Star Mission

Oh dear! What are you talking about? It's just an old car, right? If it's to be scrapped, then let it be. Just help me write a report, and request a vehicle that's about 80% new from the logistics department. With your achievements today, it will definitely get approved. The old man said with great enthusiasm, knowing that getting a military vehicle completely scrapped is not an easy task, as the logistics assessment department often likes to be difficult. But today is different; the enemies that Li Yuan took down are all leverage.

Major empires exercise strict control over identity, allowing no suspicious individuals to roam freely in the streets. Nobles typically receive favorable treatment, while commoners who wish to rise in status have only one path available to them: to become mech soldiers, mech warriors, or even mech commanders

After contemplating for a while, the mech buzzed to life

Old man Sha followed closely behind Li Yuan, as searching for spoils was his forte. In the past, he could only pick up the leftovers, but today! Today he had access to first-hand resources

The Sha family is the master of this territory, possessing the absolute power of life and death. Everyone must serve the Sha family, and even collateral relatives seeking freedom must serve the family for a period of three to five years, depending on the requirements, before they are allowed to work outside.

I apologize, Mr. Sha, if it weren't for my reckless behavior, you wouldn't have had to lose your military vehicle. Although it may seem old, it truly has great mobility in the desert, and now it can only rely on hitchhiking.

It is this cousin, who, due to his exceptional talent, has been the center of attention since childhood. However, he encountered Li Yuan, a peculiar individual with a penchant for specific subjects, who not only subjected him to severe humiliation in the realm of intricate manipulation but also caused him to lose the affection of a beautiful woman

As people age, they become more cunning. The family uses an external convoy as bait to lure out and eliminate the enemy, and this has happened more than once or twice. As long as they can endure and make up for the losses in battle, they will not be overly stingy. If they can also bring in a mech soldier, Li Hetushucomcom, then it would truly be a case of upgrading from a bird gun to a cannon.

Those who are familiar with Xiao Zhiqiu prefer to call her Xiao Xiao, which sounds much better than Xiao Zhiqiu. Like Li Yuan, this woman is from the collateral branch of the Sha family, but her background is exceptionally strong, making Sha Pengfei's cousin quite concerned.

The two of them exerted a tremendous effort to pry open the mouth of the beauty from Omi.

Although my father was not a qualified adventurer, he was a competent father. Before he passed away, he did his utmost to bring joy to the family. My two older brothers are very cheerful and very kind

However, apart from being outstanding, Xiaoxiao is also very beautiful, making her the focal point of the entire academy

However, even if you go out, your resume will always bear the mark of the Sha family, proving that you are a part of the frontier

In this era of interstellar advancement, humanity has mastered remarkable space technology, making interstellar travel exceedingly simple. By employing ultra-long-range launches of space gates and sending these "gates" into the target star domain, it is possible to achieve instantaneous travel across hundreds or even tens of thousands of light-years.

Hehe, this is a lesson learned, quite memorable. Hmm, let me take a look, indeed there are treasures. Shaber propped open the large mouth of the beauty with a crowbar, half of his body leaning in, and after fiddling for a while, he extracted several pieces of ore, which were surprisingly hidden in the beauty's teeth.

Li Yuan began to collect the spoils of war. He had eliminated nineteen Aomeiren, and although they were all low-level warriors, it was still possible that he might discover some items of greater value. Even if he could not use them himself, he could sell them to the caravan to replenish supplies

"Fortune favors me; this beauty must have worked as a supervisor in the mine, otherwise, there wouldn't be these things." Shabu revealed a knowing smile

Li Yuan, having reached the graduation standards in a rather muddled manner, was assigned to this family’s peripheral racing team. Now, reflecting back on it, there are many doubts.

It was only with the application of a layer of shielding coating on the Type 3 Assault Trooper and the substantial assistance from Xiao Xiao that the task could be barely accomplished

Indeed, the Sha family is vast, with so many cousins that it is impossible to count them. Due to their role as guardians of the empire's borders, they have forged a strong and unyielding front. The competition within the family is extremely fierce; they are not all born of the same parents. It is either you scheming against me or me scheming against you, and this has never ceased.

Thus, when two people walk closely together, a young man and a young woman gradually open up topics of conversation, making it easier to get along. Even on a certain day before graduation, Xiao Xiao became Li Yuan's first kiss terminator

Old man Sha ran over and grabbed Li Yuan, saying: "Good child, you are truly remarkable. I never expected your mother to ask me to bring you. In the end, it was you who saved Old Man Sha's life"

Alright. Li Yuan was a bit excited, as if it were not the large mouth of an Aomi person, but rather a treasure chest

It is unclear where Shabo found a crowbar, but he called out, "Come over and help, I think this big fellow's mouth is not right"

Li Yuan was watching Sha Bo attentively from the side. It is said that collecting spoils of war is an art; every year, there are always inexperienced newcomers who miss out on exquisite treasures, only to have them picked up at a bargain by seasoned scavengers.

This name has a very boyish quality, reflecting the sentiment of knowing the arrival of autumn from a single fallen leaf. Born into a military family, there is no way to avoid being strong-willed; even the names given to girls tend to be more gender-neutral.

Wow, is this real? The Lantian ore used to enhance physical strength. Li Yuan was truly astonished; although this Lantian ore is merely a low-level beneficial mineral, to obtain such rich spoils in his first real battle, he was already quite satisfied

Thinking of Xiao Zhiqiu, Li Yuan felt a warmth in his heart

The Sha family has a strict standard for recording achievements, and no one dares to erase another's accomplishments, as such actions would result in severe penalties. The reason the Sha family has stood firm for hundreds of years amidst turmoil is evident. Even the eldest legitimate grandson of the family head cannot act recklessly. Why does Li Yuan not worry about Sha Pengfei? It is precisely because the Sha family consistently upholds fairness and justice. One may be shameless, but one cannot be shameless without limits; crossing certain boundaries will lead to a very tragic end. Why does Li Yuan not worry about Sha Pengfei?

On that day, Xiao Xiao was granted a recommendation for admission simply because of her consistently good academic performance. In her excitement, she had a moment of intimacy with Li Yuan. Before they could even confirm their romantic relationship, they were separated. One went on to pursue further studies at a prestigious institution, while the other received a notice that the graduation assessment had been moved up.

It is quite strange that over the past few years, Li Yuan's compatibility with the mecha has continuously risen to 6 percent, only to fall back down again, nearly driving him to madness. However, recently there has finally been a glimmer of hope, as he has pinpointed the crux of the issue

The entire environment is such that major empires encourage the development of mecha systems, which is fundamental for human civilization to thrive in the cosmos. If we were to abandon even this foundation, humanity would undoubtedly be on the path to decline

Li Yuan had not yet recovered from the joy of harvesting the spoils when he received a notification from the convoy. Someone, citing his extraordinary performance in this battle, issued a Level Three Silver Star mission, requiring him to head to the northeastern Gobi Desert within twenty-four hours to join the Sirius Scout Team and conduct an in-depth investigation of the mines.

It turns out that beyond the Sha family, there exists such a vibrant world, and that not all foreign races are bad; there are many kind communities living alongside humans. It turns out that there are so many wondrous territories in the universe that captivate adventurers.

Tsk tsk, the big oaf looks like a mountain of meat, but unfortunately the meat is too tough to be made into beneficial food, and can only be fed to the worms beneath the cheap sand of wwwhetushu.com. The old man spat, expressing his disdain while also gathering his spirits, not letting any clue slip by.

Saber focused his energy on the large head of the Aomei person; relying solely on himself, it was quite difficult to pry open the tightly clenched jaws.

At this moment, Li Yuan's lack of experience became apparent; the old gentleman slightly shifted his body to avoid the unpleasant odor, while Li Yuan was caught off guard by the bad breath and ran to the side to retch.

With the passing of my father, this family nearly collapsed, and my two elder brothers took on the heavy burden, falling in battle.

One must at least attain the status of a "scholar" to be respected, and one may not need to bow before the nobility

"Uh, I'm suffocating. Old ghost, you didn't even give me a heads up." Li Yuan almost fainted.

In addition to the infinitely reduced distances between stars, humanity has also developed superimposed space technology, utilizing "Void Traces" to store mechas, which serves as a highly convenient mode of military deployment in the interstellar era

Who is Sha Pengfei? He is the legitimate grandson of the head of the Sha family and is, in fact, a cousin of Li Yuan.

Moments later, Li Yuan descended from the air to the ground, a subtle spatial mark appearing on his forehead, as the mech had already been retracted by him

Three Silver Star Level? '' Li Yuan stood still, this was almost the highest level task that a first-level mech soldier could encounter, and it could only be completed by joining a team with exceptionally strong combat capabilities

Clarifying the situation, Li Yuan felt a sense of relief. He thought to himself: "As my father said, the most terrifying enemy is the one who harms you in the shadows. Now that I know you are targeting me, I will be more vigilant. In a family’s outer convoy, what can you do to me?"

The Void Scar requires mechs to pay a portion of energy for maintenance; otherwise, the mechs will be ejected from the forehead. However, many noble youths prefer to spend large sums to solidify the Void Scar, seizing the opportunity to expand a portion of space, preparing for the future deployment of mech and library soldiers as well as mech engineers.

Originally, Li Yuan did not wish to become entangled in the quagmire of the family's direct and collateral lines clashing with each other. However, in the world of Jianghu, one is often not in control of their own fate. Due to subtle manipulations that disrupted the academy's records, Xiao Xiao hired Li Yuan as a private instructor, specifically to help her overcome challenges in hopes of achieving good results

This era is exceedingly brilliant and magnificent, and the things that Li Yuan can encounter are inextricably linked to the Sha family. However, he has a father who enjoys wandering everywhere, calling himself an interstellar traveler and an explorer, opening a door for his son to a wonderful world beyond.

"Sha Pengfei, it turns out that you not only insult me by saying that a toad wants to eat swan meat, but you also have so many tricks up your sleeve. You know nothing, if it weren't for my own reasons preventing me from improving my mecha compatibility, I would have already won over Xiao Xiao. I didn't expect that while I was being honest, you were scheming behind my back." Li Yuan, filled with youthful vigor, clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked, unaware of the violent factors within himself.

Hehe, put in more effort, and be careful not to touch the bodies of the Aomeiren, as their skin emits radiation that can interfere with the scans. Regular scans often miss valuable items, so we must rely on old experience. Sha Bo is clearly an old hand in this field and must have done a lot of scavenging in the past.

Since childhood, Li Yuan has particularly enjoyed listening to his father recount those adventurous experiences

In this battle, Li Yuan performed adequately, but merely adequately. The true impact came from the elite family combat team; had the fleet not arrived in time, even with a hundred Li Yuans and a hundred convoys, they would still have been insufficient to withstand the enemy's onslaught

Certainly, the same applies to the nobility; the baseline is the Mecha Warrior. If you cannot even reach the level of a Mecha Warrior, no matter how strong your background is, no one will respect you, for your future is bleak

Upon arriving at Li Yuan's place, he relied on his mother for support. After enduring hardships, he finally graduated from the Mecha Academy, yet he could not escape military service.
