Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 79 Fishing
Maple Moon Star is a 'satellite-level' administrative star within the Qi Yuan territory.

Although it is not as high in rank as the eight main administrative stars, it is still extremely important.

Furthermore, Maple Moon Star is not only the core of hundreds of life-bearing planets around it, but also a transit point for several other 'satellite-level' administrative planets. Therefore, it is also planned as a transportation 'hub star' within the territory.

Large cargo ships carrying bulk supplies transit through Maple Moon Star, and then, according to the needs of surrounding planets, are dispersed in various directions by smaller cargo ships.

Moreover, in the near future, some specialties from Qiyuan territory will also gather here and then be sold to Liuquan star system and even some planets further away.

Therefore, the entire Maple Moon Star and the surrounding airspace are usually very lively.

Almost constantly, one can see massive transport ships, some as long as a kilometer, and numerous smaller spaceships appearing and disappearing in the airspace surrounding Maple Moon Star.

On Maple Moon Star, a large number of merchants have gathered in search of business opportunities.

In the extremely luxurious restaurant 'Wangyuelou' near the Star Harbor on Maple Moon Star.

The restaurant has dozens of floors, and most of them are decorated in a lobby style, with very few private rooms.

All the guests were seated at the tables in the lobby, and the noise and chatter of the large number of guests mingled together, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

For this reason, it has become a popular gathering place for members of small business groups.

After all, if they wanted to enjoy themselves, they could naturally choose other places. The reason they came here was because the atmosphere was perfect for making new friends and exploring business opportunities.

On a long table near the window on the ninth floor of Wangyue Tower, several merchants who happened to have taken a liking to each other gathered together.

"Wow, Maple Moon Star has really changed a lot!"

An elderly man in black robes with a white beard, holding a wine glass, sighed repeatedly, "I came here once more than a hundred years ago. Back then, Maple Moon Star was like an indigenous planet. It was nothing like the magnificent place it is today!"

Hearing his words, a blond, one-horned youth who was only at the first level of the Stellar Realm firstly picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, before laughing heartily:

"Haha, what you say is true, brother. I am a native of Maple Moon Star. Our place used to be quite dilapidated. Back then, there were only a few spaceships on the entire planet. The few small spaceships we had were used to deliver 'tribute' to the former lord. As for our lives, well, that's hard to describe!"

"But things are much better now. The new lord has not only ordered a major overhaul of Maple Moon Star, but has also arranged for people to train us citizens. Those who perform well will receive special support and appointments."

"As for me, I just had some novel ideas about business. I didn't expect that after I reported them, I would actually get the support of the Administration and be appointed as the head of a small trading caravan. If it weren't for this connection, I wouldn't have the opportunity to sit at the same table with you guys today!"

Upon hearing his words, the others at the table couldn't help but show envy.

"Hehe, you people of Maple Moon Star are really lucky. The scale of Maple Moon Star is almost comparable to some prosperous planets that have been developing for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

The blond youth seemed quite pleased with himself, filling his glass to the brim and then downing it in one gulp after a brief nod to his companions at the table.

"Haha, brothers, it's fate that we met. I'll take you around Maple Moon Star in a bit and see if we can hit it off."

"No problem, no problem~~~" Each person at the table politely raised their glass to him.

Just as the group was chatting animatedly, they saw a small, dark blue spaceship fly directly over the port's spaceship berths and land in the plaza in front of a magnificent building not far away.

Wow~~
The spaceship hatch opened, and a purple-haired girl wearing purple-gold armor and carrying an ancient, dark blue-green sword on her back flew out of the spaceship together with a blue-skinned, bald boy riding a strange flying shuttle, quickly entering the magnificent building.

This scene immediately caught the attention of the people at the table.

"Hey, who are those people? How come their spaceships have driven right up to the gate of the Defense Agency's headquarters?"

A thin, middle-aged man with a goatee and deep-set eyes that resembled two dry wells asked with some curiosity, "Oh, you mean those two?"

The blond youth took a sip of his drink, a hint of envy in his eyes. "I heard they seem to be disciples of our lord. Didn't a transport ship get attacked a while ago? These two seem to be here to investigate."

"The Lord's disciple!" The thin middle-aged man was slightly surprised and took a small sip of wine.

Meanwhile, a special message, after going through several intermediaries, was sent to a specific account.
"Boss Reg!"

Inside the streamlined spaceship, the sickly young man excitedly approached the red-haired man, Reg.

"Boss Reg, our informant reports that that rich kid I told you about last time has reappeared!"

"A rich kid?"

The red-haired man's expression shifted slightly. "Is it the stellar-level one you mentioned, possessing a fourth-tier psychic weapon?"

"Yes, that's him!"

The sickly-looking young man nodded, then immediately changed the subject, "However... his identity seems a bit problematic."

"identity?"

Upon hearing this, Reg frowned slightly. "Is there a problem with his identity?"

The sickly young man said hesitantly, "It seems...it seems to be the disciple of the lord who bought a large amount of planetary territory from Lord Narcsia."

"Boss Reg, that lord can buy so much territory at once, and the weapons he gives his disciples are all fourth-tier psychic weapons. He must be someone with a powerful background. We can just rob some of his goods, but if we kill his disciples, we'll really offend him."

The sickly young man didn't continue speaking, but his retreat was obvious.

"What, you want to run away too?"

The red-haired man gave him a half-smile.

"No, no, no, Boss Reg, I absolutely did not mean that!"

The sickly young man quickly waved his hand, "I just... I just think... shouldn't we consult Lord Narcissus first? Just in case we accidentally provoke a troublesome enemy for Lord Narcissus, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that wouldn't be good."

"You've put your heart into it."

The red-haired man, Reg, nodded, then spoke firmly.

"There's no need to worry so much."

"This is the most difficult time for Lord Nasia. If we can make great contributions and help Lord Nasia break through, he will only be happy to reward us. How could he blame us!"

"Okay then"

Seeing his determined gaze, the sickly young man had no choice but to swallow his remaining words, and instead revealed a generous expression.

"Then let's get going as soon as possible. Last time, we had no choice but to intercept those metal lumps like transport ships because that kid got away. We didn't expect him to dare to come back. This time, we can't let him get away with it!"
