id, “Forget it.
Do whatever you want.”

“I would like to have the scars on my wrists removed, ” Nicole suddenly mentioned.

Brundy buzzed, hoarsely stammering, “G-Good… Good… You’re finally willing to let go… I’m… I’m very happy for you.”

…

The news of Xia Fei being accepted as an A-list supplier of the military broke out across the Alliance overnight.
Practically all the media outlets were covering it, with people’s interest in the matter digging up Xia Fei’s past and publicizing it.
Everyone quickly learned that this average-looking young man was anything but conventional; be it his participation in the super long battle during the Adjudicator assessment, the fact that he had gone missing for a full year after investigating ruins belonging to the ancient civilization, or how he had managed to escape from the Blood Matrix, destroying this secret organization that had existed for decades in one go.
Everyone was discussing these matters avidly, and of course not one of them could have forgotten his astounding performance during the Golden Finger Cup.

…

These reporters had even managed to dig up Xia Fei’s past of doing deliveries back on Earth.
Everyone quickly learned that Xia Fei’s experiences were like an inspirational Hollywood film.
In just over the course of three years, Xia Fei had transformed from a delivery boy, whom no one knew about, and becoming a warrior at the Advanced Star River rank to being an A-list supplier of the military.
It was an unprecedented leap.

Such an improvement speed could be called miraculous, and many everyday citizens looked up to Xia Fei as their goal, hoping to one day become as famous as him.

The ever sensitive news media outlets noticed the public’s great interest in Xia Fei, so they spared no expense to search for any news about him to report.
Paparazzis were sent in droves, searching frantically for Xia Fei’s tracks, but what none of them knew was that, while everyone was eagerly hoping to learn news of him, Xia Fei had actually left.

Saying goodbye to Avril all by himself, Xia Fei piloted his newly acquired Deimos heavy-assault cruiser straight for the long journey ahead.
His goal: The Black Abyss.

Xia Fei had christened this warship ‘Impaler’.
Impaler was an assault-focused gunship.
It only had one weapon, its blasters, and just had one goal, assault.
It had one style of combat, head-to-head, and given its long and narrow shape, calling it ‘Impaler’ felt apt.

Xia Fei’s former ship, Vampire, was fitted in the Impaler’s hangar bay, able to participate in battle as an artful frigate if the need arose.

Impaler and Vampire were hardly the strongest ships in the Pan-human Alliance, but they were definitely the most unique.
Impaler possessed an insane firepower, like the boldest warrior, that even a battleship might have trouble handling the amount of damage it could dish out.
Meanwhile, Vampire was even more unruly than a street hooligan.
Armed with an energy-draining device, which could sap an enemy ship’s power source, it could leave the enemy ship in a state better off dead, where all they could see was themselves getting attacked without even being able to mount an effective retaliation.

Xia Fei had already realized a long time ago that a truly exceptional warship did not care to be an all-rounder but to have distinctive features.
A jack of all trades but a master of none was hardly comparable to someone who had devoted their whole life to a single field of study, taking it to the extremes.

Currently, Butcher and Sarah were on the screen.
Xia Fei smiled as he greeted the two before asking Sarah, “How are the goods that you were tasked to procure?”

Ten thousand energy-shield boosters was not enough to fill two Iteron-class industrial ships.
Xia Fei had arranged for the remaining space in the ships to be allocated into carrying over some living supplies.
The Death Trio Star Region was already barren, so if they were to fall into the chaos of war, selling these supplies that they were bringing over might well see some decent profits.
Since the industrial ships would have otherwise left the space unused, Xia Fei was not going to miss out on this chance to earn some profits.
Though it might not be much, every penny counted.

“They’re all stored in the cargo hold, ready for transport.
We’re merely waiting to set off,” Sarah said.

To the side, Butcher was pouting.
“Not just that, even our frigates have been stocked along with Miss Sarah’s goods.
Just take a look for yourself.”

Xia Fei saw Butcher grab a handful of compressed ham from his table, and there was even more food beside him.
The cabin was all completely packed with foodstuff as if it were a food warehouse.

Sarah knitted her eyebrows together.
“The orders I had received were to pack as much as we possibly could.
Your ships had space, so of course we’re not going to waste any of it.”

Butcher shrugged and did not say a word.
Xia Fei knew that Butcher was only kidding, but Sarah was being too serious.
After all, she grew up in the Wild Star Region, and flexibility was not a trait she had picked up.

Xia Fei chuckled.
“That’s not a bad thing is it? Brother Butcher, you can eat as much as you like with all the food there; who knows? you might even be able to put on a few more layers of fat in this one trip.

“I’m enroute to our rendezvous point, so you guys can take this time to get some rest.
Give your comrades a few days of shore leave and wait for me to arrive before we head off.”

Butcher hesitated for some time before he finally asked, “Xia Fei.
I have something I wish to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

“Your Quantum Holdings has become an A-list supplier of the military, and my comrades from the Blood Matrix are all of course very happy for you, but you should know that we’re hoping to form an exploration team, specifically to set forth on an expedition in search of a route to Eden.

“Going by Alliance rules and regulations, our exploration team will be considered a paramilitary institution, and the paperworks for its registration will be extremely troublesome.
Plus, we’ll have to file reports on our ongoings to the military at intervals, so we’re all hoping to put this exploration team under your name, calling it Quantum Expeditions, to spare us plenty of trouble.
Would you be amenable to such an arrangement?”

Xia Fei was originally planning to hire Butcher and his men for his use.
After all, they were warriors who were bloodied by battles, and such experienced warriors, who knew how to act during critical junctures, possessed far more combat effectiveness than fresh recruits.
Hearing Butcher’s words meant that their group still intended to become an exploration team, adventuring all across the universe.

“No problem, Brother Butcher; just leave it to me.
I’ll send someone to send in the application and file it with the military,” Xia Fei said.
Winning over people’s hearts was not something to be rushed; Xia Fei decided to go along with Butcher’s request for now before slowly convincing them later when the timing was right.

Butcher nodded gratefully.
“That’s wonderful! My comrades and I will surely do a good job with this errand, so you can rest easy.”

…

The journey was long; as he shifted to eating, sleeping, and cultivating, Xia Fei realized a very serious problem: The little creature Furball was not eating.

It had been dozens of days since Furball was born, and the little creature had not eaten anything aside from licking his fingers.
Xia Fei tried all he could to provide it with all sorts of food, but not once did Furball give any of these items a glance, proudly lifting its head up as if it were dismissive of them all.

There were some organisms in this universe that could obtain energy from their environment without needing to ingest food.
Xia Fei had no idea just what Furball was, but he reckoned that it must be similar to those fantastical creatures that did not need to eat.

…

Xia Fei only realized the gravity of the situation several days later.

Furball was lying in Xia Fei’s palm with its eyes half close, looking completely dazed and listless.
The originally beautiful silver fur had lost its luster, looking to be one size smaller than when it was born, appearing very weak.

The panicking Xia Fei made some milk and tried to force it down its mouth, but the little creature maintained this look of absolute abhorrence, barely drinking anything and then spitting it all out.
It looked at Xia Fei pleadingly as if telling him not to make it drink the milk.

“This thing is too picky.
I didn’t even get to drink a drop of inferior-quality milk when I was growing up,” Xia Fei somewhat angrily complained.

The moment Furball saw that Xia Fei was mad, it rubbed its body against Xia Fei as if coaxing him, making Xia Fei torn between laughing or crying.

“Could it be that this exotic beast’s eating habits aren’t the same as humans’?” Phantom was muttering to himself in a corner.
“According to records in the Beast Spirit Codex, there are some exotic beasts that will eat metal or ore minerals.
Should we perhaps give it a shot?”

Xia Fei whizzed away from the cabin and collected what metal and ore he could carry and brought them all back.
Spreading everything out on the table, he then poured out everything inside his spatial ring, including Celestial Moon.

Furball was under this mess of items, and they saw as it listlessly stared at everything around it once.
All of a sudden, its eyes sparkled, then vaguely emitted a green glow.

*Whoosh!*

Furball excitedly dashed over to where a purple ore was lying, its mouth nearly salivating.

“The purple Heart of Spirit! Furball could not possibly be thinking of eating that, could it?!” Phantom exclaimed.
He looked at Xia Fei with a sympathetic gaze.
“Xia Fei, I’m afraid that you’re gonna go bankrupt this time.”
