Chapter 1 Light Fox
Light Fox spaceship sailed towards the McSibyl Star spaceport, inside the cabin, Ekolin was instructing his subordinates.

"We'll land at a satellite city in a while, you guys immediately go find a local shipyard and have them tow the ship over there. Repair it as quickly as possible, money is no object... As for the rest of us, let's find a hidden place to rest in the McSibyl Star satellite city first."

The others responded sparsely.

Orosen said lazily, "Relax, McSibyl Star is a neutral planet. No one will come to bother us. The Star Pupils Divine Clan doesn't know the direction of our escape at all. There are no pursuers behind us, we are basically safe. As long as we stay on McSibyl Star for a day or two to repair the spaceship, we can take the Evolution Cube back."

Speaking of the Evolution Cube, Orosen subconsciously looked at the dark-black small cube hanging around Ekolin's neck, a fiery color revealed in his eyes.

Noticing his gaze, Ekolin shouted, "We'll study how to use this thing after we leave the Shattered Star Ring. Don't even think about it now."

With the treasure in hand, everyone was a little envious, but not many had evil thoughts. At most, they just wanted to experience the effects of the Evolution Cube.

Although the Evolution Cube was a cosmic treasure, it was not worth betraying the Other God for it.

Because of the Evolver civilization data mastered by the Other God, they also knew a little about the effects of the Evolution Cube, and would not have unnecessary expectations for the Evolution Cube—otherwise, there would not have been only Sisko, an Beyond Grade A, among the many Heavenly Disaster grades of the Star Pupils Divine Clan.

However, it was true that using the Evolution Cube could make one stronger.

At this time, the spaceship entered the spaceport, went through simple formalities, and landed towards the ground port of one of the McSibyl Star's satellite cities.

As soon as they got off the spaceship, Ekolin and others mobilized, found a not-so-famous shipyard, and paid them to repair the spaceship.

The Light Fox spaceship was equipped with a top-notch warp engine. A journey that would take ordinary spaceships several months, only took them a few days. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to run from the Star Pupils Divine Clan's territory to the edge of the Shattered Star Ring in just over ten days. They insisted on repairing the ship precisely because the speed of the Light Fox spaceship could greatly save them time traveling across star fields. They would definitely not change vehicles unless absolutely necessary.

Because they were single-mindedly focused on escaping, they did not know whether there were pursuers, but in their opinion, the ultra-high-speed warp jump of the Light Fox spaceship was enough to shake off any pursuers. Perhaps the Star Pupils Divine Clan did not even know where they were running—of course, the connection between Sisko and the Evolution Cube was a secret, they did not know that their position had been exposed.

As for the identity issue, they were not worried at all. They stole the Evolution Cube through the Other God's clone's teleportation ability, so the Star Pupils Divine Clan did not know what they looked like.

The only time they were exposed was in the Terra Civilization, but that was already months ago, and it had nothing to do with the theft of the Evolution Cube. No one would associate the two things together… After all, the Star Pupils Divine Clan did not publicize the theft of the Evolution Cube, and even the news of Avitan Star was temporarily suppressed domestically, and did not cause any waves in the Shattered Star Ring, continuing to allow the secret war to dominate the news headlines.

Therefore, in the hearts of Ekolin and others, arriving at McSibyl Star was equivalent to stepping out of the Shattered Star Ring with one foot. They believed that they were completely safe.

Because the spaceship was sent for repair, Ekolin took his people to stay in a star hotel in the satellite city.

But they did not know that when they entered McSibyl Star, they were being watched.

...

Only half an hour had passed since Sisko's call.

"The Light Fox spaceship has already appeared..."

Sedum received the news as soon as possible.

The port entry information of the entire McSibyl Star was under his surveillance. As soon as Ekolin's spaceship entered the country, it was discovered by him. Sedum was monitoring the actions of Ekolin and others.

"They went to Satellite City No. 2, found a shipyard there to repair the ship, and then the people on the ship checked into a hotel, the location is..."

The security force, the observation satellites, every camera was connected to the control hub system of the floating city. The entire planet was under his surveillance. After locking on the Light Fox spaceship, Sedum naturally locked on Ekolin and others.

He really did not recognize Ekolin and others, but the auxiliary AI searched for a while and found Orosen's wanted status in the Terra Civilization.

"It's a group of wanted criminals? Why is Sisko chasing after these people?"

Sedum couldn't help but use his imagination: "Could it be that he wants to use this as an opportunity to establish friendly relations between the Star Pupils Divine Clan and the Terra Civilization? From Sisko's position, it is possible to do so, but he personally took action… perhaps he wants to amplify the impact of this matter?"

He couldn't help but have a series of wild thoughts. With the lack of information, he naturally did not know about the theft of the Evolution Cube.

Moreover, due to preconceived notions, Sedum would not associate the black small cube accessories worn by Ekolin around his neck with the Star Pupils Divine Clan's national treasure Evolution Cube, which was "extremely huge".

"Sisko just asked me to hold them back, um, so if it's not necessary, I don't need to take action against them."

Sedum thought for a while and gave up the idea of ​​personally testing them, for fear of alerting the enemy.

He changed his method. Through the floating city control hub, he issued new orders to his mechanical security force, secretly increasing the density of patrol guards around the place where Ekolin and others were staying, which was equivalent to putting more eyes and ears and increasing the monitoring intensity.

"By the way..."

Sedum remembered another thing and called the shipyard that took on the Light Fox spaceship repair work, ordering them to delay the work and do something to the spaceship.

Although this shipyard was not his, he still had this kind of power with his status on McSibyl Star.

"That's about it, next, I just need to slowly monitor..."

Sedum set a new command for the floating city control hub, notifying him once Ekolin and others showed any signs of abnormality, and then put the matter aside.

As the owner of the planet, he was also very busy every day and could not keep staring at the monitor.

...

After parting unhappily with Sedum, Han Xiao found that no one drove him away. He completed the afternoon's work step by step, but received some bad news in the evening.

The Keystone Foundation Group transferred him from the Eternal Light project, preventing him from continuing to participate in this project. He no longer needed to build spaceship parts, and the blueprints in his hand were also taken back.

He had learned all these blueprints, so it did not matter if he handed them back. However, the signal released by Sedum was very clear. He would no longer allow Han Xiao to have any contact with the Eternal Light blueprints.

"Sedum is starting to guard against me. If I continue to stay in the group, I will only be used as a coolie in the future and will not be involved in important projects."

Han Xiao shook his head.

"The specialization has already been obtained, there is no need to continue to stay on McSibyl Star. I can slip away after getting the Eternal Light blueprints..."

Although Sedum had strengthened his vigilance against him, Han Xiao already had a clue about stealing the final core component blueprints of Eternal Light.

Speaking of which, this was still the clue that Sedum gave him.

Originally, Han Xiao couldn't find where their core component blueprints were hidden in the database of the Keystone Foundation Group, and was a bit stuck, but today, Sedum took the initiative to reveal the secret, giving him a new goal.

It turned out that Sedum was the actual owner of the Eternal Light blueprints.

Then his home must also have the Eternal Light blueprints saved there, so there is no need to make a fuss about the Keystone Foundation Group.

And Sedum's home was the magnificent floating city base in the sky above McSibyl Star.

Han Xiao's goal was to hack... cough, black into Sedum's floating city!

"Sedum doesn't know my true strength, and I don't know if he will regret revealing his secrets to me today... Oh, I almost forgot, he definitely won't regret it, because he won't even know that I have hacked into his floating city."

If he hadn't worked at the Keystone Foundation Group for the specialization, he wouldn't have attracted Sedum's attention. If he hadn't attracted his attention, he wouldn't have been recruited by him. If he hadn't been recruited by him, he wouldn't have learned that Sedum was the real owner of the Eternal Light blueprints.

It could be said that Sedum personally pointed out the direction for him.

Han Xiao smiled secretly.

The floating city was the base of an Grade A+ armed mechanic, and its intelligent defense was stronger. The database of the Keystone Foundation Group was incomparable to it.

But he was a virtual mechanic with a higher level than Sedum. As long as he was well prepared, he could still quietly infiltrate the control hub system of the floating city.

"But it's best to increase some certainty..."

Han Xiao was currently level 221, and at level 225, the [Apostle Mechanic] class advancement could be triggered. As long as he advanced, his virtual technology would be strengthened again.

The experience panel stored a massive amount of experience. Because there was nothing important before, Han Xiao was thinking of accumulating experience and launching a concentrated attack. Now that he had a demand, he did not delay.

The night of McSibyl Star was as noisy as daylight. Interstellar travelers enjoyed and reveled all night long. Spaceships dragging various colored flame tails flew between the high-rise buildings, like painting neon lights on the night sky. The scene was full of bustling night views - this was the life of interstellar citizens indulging in sensual pleasures.

The nightlife here was rich, so no one stopped Han Xiao from slipping out of the Keystone Foundation Group's dormitory.

He came to the ground port, returned to his rented boathouse, boarded the spaceship, and walked into the dedicated combat training room to avoid causing attention to the movement caused by the advancement.

Closing the door of the combat training room, Han Xiao opened the panel and directly consumed the experience reserves for upgrades without hesitation.

Soon he reached level 225 and was stuck on the class advancement mission of [Apostle Mechanic].

Han Xiao had spent seven years accumulating mission settlement cards, so he still had some remaining. He directly settled the class advancement mission.

The next moment, his brain was shocked.
