Planetary evolution, how come you're Ultraman?

The Dawn's engines emitted a soft hum, drawing a silver trail in the universe as Lin Chen piloted the spaceship toward Su Qingyue's coordinates.

He hadn't originally planned to save the little girl. After all, in this world of survival on this planet, the law of the jungle was the norm. He himself was still in the development stage, having just upgraded the planet to a minor planetary level. His light energy was only enough to maintain his transformation into a child form. How could he have the time to care about other people's lives?

He simply felt that the two raiders who were chasing Su Qingyue must have a lot of looted resources on them, so he could kill them, steal some light energy, and upgrade his planet.

As for Su Qingyue?

Whether to save her or not depends on my mood. Anyway, he doesn't know her. At worst, I can just get some reward after saving her.

The commotion on the public channel continued, with messages scrolling by at breakneck speed, impossible to stop:

"Holy crap?! What was that just now? A gigantic silver giant?"

"Ultraman? That's Ultraman? Really? I just screen-recorded it! I'll post it here for you guys to see!"

"That A-level ability user, Wang Hu? He was blown to bits with a single punch?! Am I seeing things?"

"Holy crap, that guy's too strong! Wang Hu stole three planets before, and nobody dared to mess with him, but he got taken down in one punch?"

"Does anyone know who that Ultraman is? Can I ask him to be my lackey?"

Lin Chen glanced at the messages in the channel, couldn't help but smile, and didn't take it seriously.

He focused his attention on the detection; Su Qingyue's distress signals were becoming increasingly urgent, clearly indicating that the two raiders were close to catching up with her.

He increased his speed; the Dawn was twice as fast as a regular spaceship, and it took him less than five minutes to reach the coordinates.

Just then, his evolutionary follower suddenly trembled!

[Warning! A Star Lord has detected sending you a planetary core! Do you wish to accept?]

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. Transmitting the core of a planet?

What's going on? Before he could even click "decline," the Light Conversion Function of the Evolution Trustee activated automatically!

The soft white light instantly landed in Lin Chen's hand.

[The bond binding has been automatically completed! Teammate: Su Qingyue!]

[Shared Resources: 100 Life Resources, 50 Water Resources!]

[Light energy reserve +200!]

Lin Chen: "???"

He was stunned.

What the heck?

He hasn't even agreed yet, so how did it absorb automatically?

It even automatically activated the bond?

What's going on?

He knew very well that the core of a planet was the foundation of a star lord.

Once the core is sent out, one will completely lose their own planet. Whether they can live with a new planetary ruler in the future depends entirely on the other party's will. Otherwise, they will only be able to wander in the universe and eventually be killed by radiation waves or slaughtered by raiders.

This little girl actually gave him her core just like that?

Just then, a communication request came through—it was from Su Qingyue!

Lin Chen frowned and answered the call.

On the screen, a cute little girl appeared instantly. She had pigtails, red eyes, and tear stains on her face. It was Su Qingyue.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, she instantly burst into tears and said to him:

"Senior Lin Chen! Please! Save me!"

Lin Chen frowned and asked:

"You just transferred the core to me? Do you know that by giving away the core, you'll lose your own planet? From now on, you'll have to stay with me. If I don't agree, you'll be forced to wander the world?"

Su Qingyue nodded, and said through tears:

"Yes...yes! Senior! I know you're that Ultraman boss! I...I really have no other choice! Those two raiders are about to catch up with me! If I give you the core, you won't abandon me, right?"

She paused, then said in a pleading tone:

"Senior! I know you don't want to help me! But I really have no other choice! I can't live alone! I've given you my core, just think of it as taking on a follower and helping me make a living, okay? I really don't want to die!"

Lin Chen understood immediately after hearing this.

So this little girl is desperate and would rather abandon her own planet than not be able to get on his good side?

She was betting that once Lin Chen took her planet, he wouldn't feel comfortable abandoning her. After all, in this newbie zone, only Lin Chen, the big shot who could kill Wang Hu with a single punch, could save her.

Moreover, the core has already been absorbed, and there's no going back!

This little girl looks so cute and cuddly, yet she's so opinionated.

Lin Chen sighed and rubbed his forehead.

He originally only wanted to plunder the resources of two raiders, but now he's been forced to take on a teammate who abandoned his own planet.

This is truly a case of sitting at home and having a powerful figure fall from the sky.

He sighed. There was no other way but to go and save them.

He said to Su Qingyue:

"Hold on, I'll be there soon."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she cried out:

"Thank you! Thank you so much, senior! You're such a kind person!"

Lin Chen didn't say anything, but directly increased the speed of the Dawn to the maximum and rushed towards Su Qingyue's location.

In less than a minute, he saw the three spaceships in front of him.

At the very front was a small, dilapidated white spaceship, covered in scratches, clearly having been hit several times. The spaceship had slowed down, obviously due to engine problems.

That was Su Qingyue's spaceship.

Behind her were two black raiding ships chasing her, occasionally firing a shot at her shield, forcing her to constantly dodge.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold.

Are these two the plunderers who are hunting down Su Qingyue?

He directly piloted the Dawn and blocked Su Qingyue's spaceship.

Su Qingyue's spaceship was almost at a stop when she suddenly saw a silver spaceship appear in front of her. She was startled, but when she saw that it was Lin Chen, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The two raiders behind him were stunned for a moment when they saw Lin Chen's Dawn blocking their way. Then one of them shouted through the communicator:

"Kid? Who the hell are you? How dare you block my way? Get lost!"

Another person chimed in with a curse:

"That's right! This girl is my prey. You'd better get lost, or I'll kill you too!"

These two guys seem to have only recently transmigrated here. They've awakened a basic superpower and think they're invincible, bullying a little girl like this.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Those two guys got angry when they saw that Lin Chen didn't move:

"You little brat! You dare disobey me? Looks like you're tired of living!"

"Boss, stop wasting time talking to him, just blow up his ship! We're all going to steal it anyway, one more won't hurt!"
