Chapter 105: A Subtle Relationship

Lin Lei arrived at the Star Alliance Guard station, and the first thing he did was go to change his equipment. He remembered very clearly that the Star Alliance had three main types of battle armor.

The intelligent assistant said that the gap in combat power between these three types of battle armor would not be particularly wide, so the difference should be reflected in the safety protection for the driver; otherwise, the Star Alliance would not have needed to develop them.

He did not go to find Elder Yun, but instead walked to the Star Alliance’s virtual equipment library. In this virtual world, he could freely choose and equip the Star Alliance’s latest equipment.

Lin Lei’s body Energy Level had already reached 80, surpassing the limit of carbon-based life forms. According to the intelligent assistant’s introduction, all of the Star Alliance’s equipment was now open to him.

He had not never thought about concealing his excessively high body strength, but unless he stayed far away from the Star Alliance, it was impossible to escape the eyes of the Watcher Civilization.

Rather than hiding it, it was better to face it calmly; this actually made him appear to have a clear conscience. This was Lin Lei’s helpless choice.

There was no way, because compared with the Watcher Race whose heritage was unfathomable, Lin Lei delusional attempt to fight against them with personal strength was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree.

Unless one day he could become a powerful Pan-dimensional Creature.

From a certain angle, the current Star Alliance had already become an obstacle for Lin Lei to continue growing stronger, but at the same time, the Star Alliance was also the protective umbrella for Earth at this stage. The contradiction within this had already begun to sprout and would erupt in the near future.

When Lin Lei logged into the virtual equipment library and felt the scan of the Virtual Network on his body, he sighed silently. He would deal with everything when the time came; for the sake of Earth Civilization, he could not voluntarily leave the Star Alliance.

As soon as his body strength was scanned, the intelligent assistant, that perfect image of an Earth woman, immediately appeared by his side.

“Warrior, we haven’t met in nearly two years. Your progress is immense, and you now possess full access rights to the Star Alliance equipment library.”

On the other side, Elder Yun was staring blankly at Lin Lei’s body data. The intensity of Energy Level 80, even the top warriors of Ao Star could only look up to. Although this was nothing to the entire Ao Star Civilization, Elder Yun saw a kind of potential in it!

Elder Yun frowned tightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, evidently making some major decision.

Over here, Lin Lei had already started selecting his third battle armor since stepping into the cosmic starry sky, which was the Source Quality Battle Armor!

These battle armors did not have a specific form, but were drop-shaped crystals. The colors of these crystals were diverse, but the color of each crystal was very pure. The green was glittering emerald green, the blue was clear azure blue, and the purple was dreamy and mysterious purple.

“These crystals are all Source Quality Crystals. The light they emit has only one frequency. This is the spectrum of a planet, corresponding to different races. For Earthlings, it is the blue crystal.”

Lin Lei had heard Yan Siyu explain these things before; he just hadn’t expected that the racial spectrum was actually determined by the Source Quality of the mother planet. Lin Lei’s newly generated body logically should not have any racial spectrum, because he had already surpassed it.

But within his body, he possessed the Heart of Earth gifted by Earth, which was a type of Earth Source Quality. Therefore, looking at it now in the virtual space, there was a hazy blue halo on Lin Lei’s body.

Since the Source Quality Battle Armor was bound to the race, this saved Lin Lei the time of choosing. He directly selected that azure blue Source Quality Battle Armor.

This blue crystal floated in front of him, and the intelligent assistant simultaneously explained the specific usage of the crystal.

“The crystal will sense your racial spectrum, automatically merge into your body surface, and automatically generate a form that best exerts your combat power. Please empty your mind and do not have any psychology of resisting the fusion.”

In this virtual space, this blue crystal began its fusion with Lin Lei. Just like the silver Star Alliance Guard mark Yuan Shanxing had once given Lin Lei, it merged into his body and left a blue diamond-shaped mark on his skin.

At the same time, Lin Lei also sensed the existence of the blue crystal within his body. A thought similar to a suggestion was transmitted over, and Lin Lei instinctively operated according to this suggestion.

A blue light floated onto Lin Lei’s body. This light slowly turned into a semi-solidified phantom and assumed a certain shape.

Lin Lei emptied his mind, thinking of nothing, letting this Source Quality Battle Armor evolve its image. This blue phantom slowly expanded and solidified, slowly turning into a solidified blue semi-transparent human figure.

This figure was a full eight meters tall. Its facial features were faintly visible, bearing an eighty percent resemblance to Lin Lei. Through his semi-transparent body, Lin Lei standing inside could be seen.

A stream of information entered Lin Lei’s brain; it was the various data of the Source Quality Battle Armor.

Source Quality Battle Armor (Strong Assault Type): This type is determined by the user’s combat style.

Battle Armor Energy Source: Provided by the Battle Armor Source Quality Core absorbing Void energy.

Current Battle Armor Maximum Attack Energy Level: Driver’s maximum attack intensity multiplied by 1000.

Battle Armor Functions: Arm energy manifestation; Overspeed burst; Subspace attack protection; Threatening attack warning system.

Note: Use of Source Quality Battle Armor is prohibited for those with a body Energy Level below 45 and those with weak Will.

Lin Lei was shocked when he saw the battle armor’s attack Energy Level. According to this calculation, wouldn’t the maximum attack Energy Level he could reach be 50,000? Just like the Saint of the Andromeda Galaxy, Saint Anthony, and the maximum energy he could control!

But Lin Lei’s was instantaneous! Whereas Saint Anthony needed a long time to prepare. The gap between them was completely immeasurable.

Lin Lei was eager to verify the idea in his heart, so he immediately clicked to purchase.

The Source Quality Battle Armor was not expensive, requiring only 10 Contribution Points. After his last mission, after exchanging for 200 milliliters of Strengthening Original Liquid, Lin Lei still had 28 Contribution Points left.

He thought for a moment, and finally exchanged all the remaining 18 points into Galactic Universal Currency, totaling 9 million, and remitted it to the government account of Earth Civilization. In comparison, Earth needed this money more than he did right now.

After doing all this, Lin Lei logged out of the virtual equipment library, waiting for the Source Quality Battle Armor to be transmitted over.

But something unexpected seemed to have happened. Ten minutes passed, and the physical object of the Source Quality Battle Armor still hadn’t appeared on the transmission platform.

Just as Lin Lei could not help but want to call the intelligent assistant to ask the reason, he saw Elder Yun, and a exquisite box hovering in his hand. It was actually Elder Yun who had personally delivered the Source Quality Battle Armor to him!

“Lin Lei, your progress shocks me. I remember when you first joined the Star Alliance Guard, your body strength was only Energy Level 20. And now, in just two years, it has actually increased fourfold.”

Elder Yun did not immediately hand the small box in his hand to Lin Lei, but asked about his physical condition. His words carried a flavor Lin Lei did not understand, but clearly, he needed Lin Lei to give him a plausible explanation.

Lin Lei looked at this old man from Ao Star in front of him. His expression was just faint, as if it would never change. His eyes were also just looking at Lin Lei, only revealing an inquiring meaning from within.

But it was precisely this seemingly ordinary doubt that made Lin Lei feel a kind of pressure on his mind.

The Star Alliance! This super organization that controlled the Galaxy had already begun to question the rationality of his existence. This was the second time after Elder Starlon.

If the first time was just a casual inquiry, then this time, it had already reached a certain subtle moment.

This unfathomable Elder Yun was not that straightforward guy from the Starlon Civilization. The Elder of Starlon gave Lin Lei the feeling of a lion, very powerful, but advocating an upright duel, and if there was something, he would say it out.

But this Elder of Ao Star was much more calculating. He would not easily speak words of doubt, but once spoken, it meant that he already had some kind of resolution in his heart.

Lin Lei dared to be certain that as long as he gave a poor answer today, what awaited him would be an unpredictable future; perhaps he wouldn’t even be able to walk out of the Star Alliance Guard station.

But Lin Lei had no way to explain at all. He just stood up and took a deep breath. And he keenly observed that his action made Elder Yun’s body retreat an imperceptible amount.

What did this indicate? This indicated that Elder Yun had already developed a guard against him!

“I have no explanation, I can only say this is my own effort. You must know how much Strengthening Original Liquid I exchanged for. These original fluids basically went into my stomach. I experienced a lot of pain, so I have today’s achievement!”

“I am always a warrior of the Star Alliance, because in my heart, my race is always the first.”

For the sake of Earth Civilization, Lin Lei would not do anything unfavorable to the Star Alliance.

Elder Yun’s expression still did not show any change. He just handed the Source Quality Battle Armor in his hand to Lin Lei and took back Lin Lei’s Demon Crystallized Battle Armor.

“Remember what you said today. I hope you will always be a super warrior of the Star Alliance!” After saying that, the old man walked away without looking back.

Lin Lei, standing behind him, had a calm expression, one hand gently stroking the exquisite small box in his hand.

Lin Lei keenly perceived the underlying meaning of Elder Yun’s words. For a warrior, the word ‘forever’ applied to only one kind of person, and that was a dead person, and best a person who died in the manner of a tragic hero.

He could not stay in the Star Alliance any longer, and now the biggest problem was, where was the way out in the future?

The Universe was vast, but there might not be a place to escape the pursuit of the Star Alliance. If so, his future would truly be filled with hardship and wandering.
