Chapter 411 Influence
"You can contact him. The strategic command is still analyzing the latest battle video footage sent by Hannibal, and they have made new discoveries."
Aisel said goodbye. Since the time since the battle was relatively short, they only briefly analyzed the gloves worn by Li Yu.
There are actually many more details hidden in the battle footage.
Vimala nodded. After the holographic screen in front of her disappeared, her expression flickered, but she did not contact Li Yu immediately. Instead, she stood up and walked to the back of the palace.
…
"Have you heard that a big event happened near the Borderlands recently..."
In a bar on the black market, the atmosphere is lively, dim lights are flickering, and liquids of various colors flow down strange throats into the stomach.
"Isn't it just a three-way battle between Guixing, the Parliament and the Empire? I heard that they are almost beating their brains out. I don't know what's so good about that piece of shit."
Someone placed his palm on the rim of the cup, and his fingers subconsciously stroked the cup.
"The news is out of date, I said it was something else..."
Some people squinted their eyes and held thick cigarettes in their mouths, letting the smoke burn while shaking their heads.
"Oh?" His words attracted everyone's attention. He smiled proudly, and the mottled smart terminal on his wrist lit up and connected to the holographic screen of the bar.
Then everyone turned their heads in the same direction, their eyes focused on the virtual screen on the wall of the bar, where a talk show was playing at that moment.
The picture shows a shabby studio where a host is leading several guests with grim faces to talk. The issue they are discussing is related to the latest big news.
This is a famous program on the Black Hole Network, known for its bottom line and boldness.
"...This Star Breaker is really not a man who stays content. It hasn't been long since his famous battle, but he has caused a stir in the No Man's Land again."
"Yeah... He smashed the main brain and large fleet of the Satan civilization with one punch. This record is too scary."
"That damn emperor must be pissed to death. After all, this Star Breaker rose to power by relying on the reputation of the Star Empire."
"It is said that he had kidnapped his son before. Now the emperor must be venting his anger on some beautiful woman."
"Haha, that Star Destroyer is a winner in life. It is said that he has a close relationship with the Mermaid Princess and the brainless Princess Guixing. Tsk tsk... I wonder how the Mermaid Princess feels..."
"What's a mermaid princess? According to the latest news, the Iron-blooded Queen of Guixing is supporting the Starbreaker. This queen is Klein's biological mother. I heard that the two are very similar, and it's hard to tell them apart as mother and daughter or sister..."
"Strongly support? How do you support? Haha..."
“…”
The banter between the guests had no bottom line at all, and those high-ranking figures seemed to become extremely lowly in their mouths.
However, the people in the bar listened with great interest, and occasionally laughed obscenely.
After some joking, the guests got down to business.
"...But according to the analysis of several armed organizations, the combat power of the Starbreaker does not come from himself, but from a pair of gloves..."
A 3D model appeared in the hand of a guest. It looked lifelike, and the purple gems on it sparkled brightly.
" Yeah, I don't know how he got such good luck to get a weapon of this level!"
“…”
…
"Damn it, he gets all the good things, why doesn't it get my turn?" In the bar, someone threw his wine glass on the ground and said unhappily.
"Barry, if you don't like him, just go and grab him. Maybe you will be the next one to share a mother and daughter." Someone said.
"Go ahead, do you think I don't dare?" Barry said loudly, but sat there motionless.
"Ha ha……"
Everyone knew he was just bragging and couldn't help but burst into laughter. For a moment, the bar was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
This black market is just a microcosm. Similar scenes are repeated in more places, contributing to the spread of news.
…
This news has been widely spread not only in the black hole network, but also in the interstellar network.
Most interstellar citizens are familiar with the name Li Yu. After several major events, he has become a familiar name to them.
Although it only sounds familiar, it is a rare performance considering the huge number of Star Citizens.
Many powerful life forms are unable to spread their influence widely throughout their entire lives.
Many interstellar news commentators have discussed this in detail. Compared with Li Yu's powerful combat ability, they are more keen to take advantage of his popularity in other aspects.
"...Destroying tens of thousands of fleets is completely unnecessary. This is a one-sided massacre."
"Tens of thousands of fleets, millions of soldiers, and he didn't even blink an eye. For such a person..."
"This is not a war, but just a regional friction. The means are too harsh and it is not a good thing."
“…”
There are even many radical peace organizations that directly accused Li Yu on the interstellar network of being a "murderer" who deserves to be tried by the interstellar court.
Such remarks were not directed at Li Yu. In almost every widely known interstellar war, the debate about the death toll never stops.
In fact, many people criticized Li Yu’s previous battle in the Amethyst Civilization, but because Li Yu was on the weaker side to some extent, it did not cause much waves.
This time, the situation was completely different. He became the dominant party and Satan became the "victim".
Compared to the "human nature" aspects that many crazy people on the interstellar network are entangled with.
The Ark of Salvation, the Meditation Research Institute, the Black Network Organization, the Abyss Laboratory, the Star Empire, the Glorious Parliament...
The attention of many forces that have been involved or not involved with Li Yu is focused on this pair of gloves.
"That glove is very valuable. We carefully studied the battle video and found that the armor on its outer shell was trembling slightly..."
"We speculate that the force put a lot of pressure on him, which means that the punch was Li Yu's current limit, not the limit of the gloves and the gem."
"He has too many secrets, too tempting..."
If it were just the elimination of Lawrence and the destruction of the large fleet of the Satan civilization, it would not be enough for them to care so much.
However, they had to pay attention to the other five gem grooves on the [Infinity Gauntlet] .
No one knows what these gloves and the gems on them are, and there is no way to confirm whether they exist or not.
However, the powerful force in the battle video gave rise to a common idea in their minds -
What would happen if you filled the grooves in the glove?
…
In the Borderlands, the giant interstellar fortress of the troll army quietly hovers in the void, and its dark color almost blends into the starry sky.
The fleets surrounding it were almost endless, with no visible boundaries.
At this moment, Raymond, the leader of the troll army, was talking to a young-looking man.
Raymond was tall and looked very rough, but in front of this young man, he restrained his edge and spoke cautiously:
"...Lord Loren, Li Yu is now in the Stuart civilization. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to bypass Horus and attack the Stuart civilization..."
"What an idiot..." Loren said casually, "Who told you to catch him now? Wait until he arrives at the battlefield and then find a chance. That pair of gloves looks quite interesting..."
Raymond nodded, "I understand, but he has attracted the attention of many forces now. Will Guixing still let him come to this battlefield?"
"If he comes, then you do it and make him your primary target. If he doesn't come, forget it."
Loren gave a few casual instructions. The battle situation was unpredictable. He just gave the orders in advance. As for whether to come or not, it was not up to him to decide.
After the screen went black, Raymond's seemingly foolish expression suddenly disappeared. Li Yu... he was not unfamiliar with this name.
It even appeared on his home planet and was suspected of taking away the Five-Blood Troll.
But he blocked the news and didn't let it be passed on.
However, through secret investigation, he still found out the whole story.
What made him laugh and cry was that Li Yu was actually entrusted by Tu Rui to save Tu Ying, and the two were enemies before.
However, he didn't expect that not too long had passed, just over a year later, when he heard the name again, the situation was completely different.
"If I were to attack him..." Raymond didn't know what he was thinking.
…
A few days later, Li Yu sat on the suspended mechanical chair derived from the [Titan Colonial Suit], his eyes were distracted, and he was obviously looking through the [System Log].
He was very busy during this period and had no time to pay attention to it, but the second clone had made a new discovery. Among the many miscellaneous items, something quite useful caught his eye.
[Obtain a one-time consumable item - Bounty Hunter's Badge: After use, the host can remotely lock the target and obtain detailed information about the target. ]
This reward is average. Although it is not amazing, it is useful. At least it will not be left to gather dust.
Looking at the scene outside the porthole, he felt happy and his mouth was almost grinning to his ears.
The view turned and he saw outside the porthole in front of him, twelve huge mechanical life forms standing in the starry sky, forming a circle, and at the same time releasing interference shields, completely covering the scene in the center.
At the same time, a steady stream of transport spaceships came from all directions, and large space compression cabins made of military-grade alloys were opened.
These twelve Transformers took it over and sent it to the central area. No one knew what the central area was doing.
All we know is that it has devoured nearly 10 billion tons of alloy.
At this rate, it would probably take nearly a month to consume 800 billion tons of alloy.
On the one hand, there is the issue of the consumption rate of the Death Star construction blueprints, and on the other hand, there is the issue of the transportation efficiency of the Stuart civilization.
With these two problems in mind, even if Li Yu was impatient, he could only wait slowly.
"...Are you sure you don't want to return to Guixing? It's the same if you ask them to transport the alloy to Guixing." The hunter walked over worriedly.
This was the nth time he had asked Li Yu this question in recent times.
"Seventy to eighty percent of the topics discussed about you on the Black Hole Network are about your gloves. There are quite a few forces that are interested in them."
Li Yu certainly knew this problem, but Guixing was not safe now, and he didn't know whether Tigor was fishing or was really going to die.
Anyway, there will definitely be a big battle soon, and the danger will be even higher. It is impossible to get involved by just relying on the "serious punch" with a very long charging period .
The hunter looked at the silent Li Yu and did not continue speaking, although he did not know why Li Yu was so resistant to Return to the Star.
But there must be some reason he didn't know, so he could only remain silent.
"Master, Queen Vimala called!" A noisy voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the hunter left tactfully.
The holographic screen unfolded, and Vimala's solemn and delicate face emerged.
The fact that Vimala contacted him just now made Li Yu somewhat suspicious. He thought that after the battle, Vimala would ask him to return to the central galaxy.
Vimala didn't elaborate much and got straight to the point: "You need to return to the central system immediately. I have received news that several forces have been dispatched and their target is you."
Vimala did not mention the gloves because she knew that Li Yu would not tell her even if she asked .
"You are in great danger in the outside world. You will only be safe if you return to the central galaxy."
How could Li Yu return to the Central Galaxy now? He shook his head and said, "Queen, my mission is not yet completed. How can I run back to the Central Galaxy in disgrace? That would damage the reputation of Guixing."
Vimala naturally didn't believe Li Yu's words, and frowned and said: "Don't worry, Guixing will not ask for your gloves, just to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy."
She thought Li Yu was worried that Gui Xing would ask for the special gloves.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, staring closely at Vimala and Klein's faces which were extremely similar. Did Vimala really not know that Guixing was about to be besieged, or was she pretending?
Could it be that Tigor had deceived even the queen? If you want to deceive your enemy, you must first deceive yourself...
If it is true, Vimala's ambition seems very childish.
"You misunderstood, I just simply want to complete the mission." Li Yu shook his head. No matter what, he would not return to the central galaxy for the time being.
However, Vimala seemed to have anticipated this result and was not too surprised.
Instead, he said, "Since you are unwilling to return to the Central Galaxy, then go to the No Man's Land as soon as possible. With Horus protecting you, your safety will be greatly increased."
"The risk of staying in Stuart Civilization is too high."
It might be a good idea to go to the Borderlands battlefield as soon as possible and let Horus protect him.
Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly. Vimala had obviously anticipated that he would be unwilling to return to the central galaxy. Whether it was because he was too wary of returning to the star or for other reasons, it didn't matter.
Letting Li Yu go to the unowned land can also provide the same protection.
This does not necessarily mean that Vimala cares about Li Yu, but is more of a comprehensive consideration from many aspects.
"Okay, I will go to the No Man's Land as soon as possible." Li Yu nodded. This matter would not do him any harm.
