Chapter 773: Chapter 380 Insect Star (Five-in-One)

Su Ming saw Celeste’s reaction and knew he had asked the right question. He immediately put on a disappointed expression and said,

“Look at you, look at you. Just now, you were so confident, saying if I asked something else, you’d definitely answer. Now you’re unwilling to talk. The feelings have faded, faded!”

After hearing Su Ming’s words, Celeste felt a bit embarrassed for a moment, then decided to just go for it.

“Fine, forget about it, I’ll tell you.”

“That’s more like it. What exactly is this thing?”

Su Ming’s eyes lit up as he heard Celeste speak.

“This is a V-type Gene Potion developed by the Xi Guang Laboratory.”

Celeste said to Su Ming.

Su Ming’s eyelids twitched upon hearing Celeste’s words, and he exclaimed in surprise.

“A V-type Gene Potion?”

“Don’t get too excited. This is a semifinished product. It can’t be used recklessly, or it’ll be fatal.”

Celeste quickly explained to Su Ming.

“Seriously?”

Su Ming was also startled, thankful he hadn’t recklessly injected it; otherwise, he’d be done for.

“I’m not joking with you. It really is fatal. This V-type Gene Potion wasn’t developed recently. It was personally overseen by the Council Chairman a hundred years ago. Back then, ten doses were made and sent to various places for testing. Ultimately, they tested it on eight people, and all of them died suddenly! The remaining two potions were sealed away. For some unknown reason, the Federation Government later restarted the project and tried to recover the two semifinished potions. But then the Dark Star Empire invaded the Danube Star Sea, and one was lost.”

“I see.”

“Wait, then how did it end up in your hands?”

Celeste was also quite curious.

“I got it by chance from a general of the Dark Star Empire. That’s not important. Remember to keep it a secret for me.”

Su Ming replied somewhat awkwardly.

Even though it’s a semifinished product, it’s still one of the only V-type Gene Potions in existence.

“Don’t worry, I’m very tight-lipped. I definitely won’t sell you out.”

Celeste said with a playful smile.

Su Ming looked at Celeste with slight unease and asked.

“Are you sure? Why do I feel like you’re saying the opposite?”

“Hmph, am I that kind of person? I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m leaving!”

Celeste made a face at Su Ming and then disappeared.

Su Ming chuckled tepidly and then got up to head to the bathroom, planning to freshen up and rest.

…

Seven days later.

In the training area of the Light Shuttle.

Su Ming was sitting on a strength training machine, continuously pulling on the metal rods.

At that moment, Su Yuan, who was beside him, was complaining out of boredom.

“It’s been seven days, and I’m about to die of boredom. We haven’t even found a decent Mining Star to survey yet. I really don’t know what they’re doing.”

Bam~

Su Ming let go of the metal rods upon hearing Su Yuan’s words.

Su Yuan was startled and looked at Su Ming.

“You’re done training?”

“Phew! I’m done training. Let’s go to the central control room and check out the situation.”

Su Ming stood up and said to Su Yuan.

“Let’s go!”

Su Yuan immediately replied.

A moment later, Su Ming and Su Yuan walked into the central control room and saw Zhou Mu, Lin Chuyu, and others there.

Everyone was standing in front of the control panel, discussing the images presented by the Optical Device.

Su Ming and Su Yuan walked closer and immediately overheard their conversation.

“It’s unbelievable. It’s been seven days, and we haven’t seen a single decent Mining Star. All there is are shattered rocks everywhere.”

“How much has the Shabask Kingdom mined, anyway?”

“No idea, but they’re really good at it. We’ve been flying for so long, and we still haven’t reached an unexplored area.”

…

“Is the situation not looking good?”

Su Ming walked to the side of the control panel and asked.

Lin Chuyu and the others turned to look at Su Ming and explained.

“It’s not looking good at all. A quarter of the time has passed, and we still haven’t achieved anything. We did find a planet, but it didn’t even pass surface observation.”

“That’s troublesome. What does Irelia say?”

Upon hearing this, Su Ming frowned and looked toward Irelia, who was sitting at the command table.

She sat there calmly, appearing very composed and at ease.

“She doesn’t have a better solution either. We’ll just have to continue exploring deeper. This kind of prospecting does involve a bit of luck.”

An Ruoxue sighed in response.

At this moment, Lan Ning reported.

“Detected a small cluster of Chilami, numbering 213, highest form is Type III.”

Su Ming immediately looked toward the Optical Imaging Device and saw a group of black cell-formed Chilami, jellyfish-like in shape with black fleshy tendrils, swiftly flying through the distant starry sky.

Irelia responded calmly.

“Maintain a safe distance, evade them.”

“Understood.”

The Lan Ning operator replied immediately.

They were used to this kind of situation, having encountered many on the way. However, thanks to the Light Shuttle’s excellent stealth capabilities, they managed to evade them perfectly.

But they still followed protocol, reporting any unexpected situations to Irelia each time.

Watching this scene, Su Ming patiently said to Zhou Mu and the others.

“Just wait a little longer, maybe we’ll get lucky soon.”

“Alright.”

Zhou Mu and the others had nothing to say.

Time ticked by, and everyone was starting to feel a bit sleepy. The lengthy interstellar journey was mostly quite monotonous.

Just then, the scanning device issued an alert, and a red warning box popped up.

“Warning: Detected Blue Allure Moth swarm.”

…

Subsequently, the Optical Image was displayed.

In the distant starry sky, a swarm of blue moths came into view, led by a giant blue moth measuring a hundred meters long. It sported two antennae on its forehead, with wings shimmering like a blue painting, dazzling and beautiful.
