For humanity, burn the stars.

Upon hearing Qin Heling's conclusion, the four players standing nearby were all shocked.

"...It can use psionic energy?!"

"But this guy is so weak..."

In any case, shouldn't psionic energy be stronger?

While disrupting the opponent does have some practical use...

But players naturally want cooler and more powerful effects, which is why they care so much about psionic abilities.

Knowing what they were thinking, Qin Heling shook his head and explained:

"No, don't underestimate this species because of that."

"Based on the test results, this creature's physical body has been altered by psionic energy."

"Since this individual is weak, it means that the entire race is very familiar with psionic energy, to the point that even weak individuals can come into contact with it."

"Do you understand this logic now?"

Qin Heling pointed to the corpse sample beside him and said to the others:

"The one you captured may not be a warrior or anything like that in the race, which is why it only has weak spiritual abilities, or even none at all."

"If even the lowest-level beings generally possess this faint spiritual energy..."

"Their population as a whole will inevitably include a large number of warriors who have a general grasp of psionic energy, and an even smaller number of beings who have truly touched the power of psionic energy."

With Qin Heling's explanation, the four of them quickly understood.

In other words, is it a system of regular enemies, elite monsters, and bosses?

Qin Heling pretended to think and looked at the corpse beside him again.

"but……"

"Based on the level of evolution of the species, they shouldn't just be the native inhabitants of this planet."

Qin Heling made a decision and addressed the group of people in front of her:

"Then, I need you to continue observing this species."

"If given the opportunity, we can choose to explore their society and environment, and also bring back new samples."

"Perhaps we can find their origins, or maybe unearth the remains of ancient civilizations."

"This is of great help to our understanding of this species."

The four of them realized something from Qin Heling's words and nodded repeatedly.

It seems there will be more than just fighting; there might also be archaeological digging.

The members of 【魂FIVE】 and others were naturally overjoyed to accept the new mission.

Qin Heling chuckled inwardly as he looked at the overjoyed players.

To accomplish this task, it will undoubtedly be necessary to have more frequent contact with, and even struggle with, Lovisa.

And they can't possibly pull off a perfect kidnapping every time.

It probably won't be long before the Lovisa people notice something is wrong.

Qin Heling was not worried about the possible condemnation or war; in fact, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

In the game, players can choose to establish diplomatic relations with Trent after arriving on the planet, but that's not a simple matter.

Due to the influence of factors such as 'idealism', 'tribalism', and 'xenophobia', the initial favorability between factions is -20.

If you want to improve goodwill and establish diplomatic relations, you will inevitably need to negotiate for a period of time, and it will be troublesome because the initial negative number is also a problem.

Furthermore, establishing diplomatic relations with them doesn't offer any particular benefits; at most, it allows for greater exposure to psychic knowledge.

Therefore, apart from a few players, not many people will try to improve their relationship with them, but will instead go to war directly.

This time, Qin Heling also has no intention of cultivating good relations with the Lovisa group.

While that part of the psionic content might still have some use for players in the game, it was completely dispensable for Qin Heling.

After all, if players want to know, they can simply find him and exchange points for the relevant information after the relevant storyline progresses.

Therefore, Qin Heling does not intend to interfere with the methods and processes by which players contact Lovisa.

He wouldn't mind if the players' actions led the "Lovisa Legacy" to declare war on the "Human Union".

Rather, it gave him a reason to start a war.

The other species did not pose a threat to him, so there was no need to fear their hostility.

Although it is cruel, this is how intelligent life struggles in this space.

They must develop this planet as a starting point for humanity's return to the stars.

Therefore, land, minerals, and even the Lovisa themselves could all become their resources...

Just then, the hatch was suddenly opened from the outside, and everyone turned to look.

Then they met Adela's surprised gaze.

Adela first glanced at the group, then looked at the body sample being analyzed.

Realizing something, her expression turned somewhat compassionate.

Qin Heling, standing beside the instrument, stared at her without saying a word.

Qin Heling finally spoke only after Adela walked up to him:

"If you find this unacceptable, then please leave."

"It's probably easier to bear not witnessing evil firsthand."

It wasn't meant as mockery; Qin Heling was speaking from the heart and was also considering Adela's feelings.

For Miss Adela, who came from the sheltered Star Sea Federation and was full of ideals...

Killing other intelligent life forms without any reason is undoubtedly a sinful act that stains humanity's hands.

Adèle is somewhat idealistic, but this is not a flaw; rather, it is a shining aspect of her soul.

Qin Heling couldn't bear to cruelly force her to change or accept it.

Humanity should be able to accommodate such a being.

However, for him and for humanity, this is a step that must be taken now.

Therefore, Qin Heling had to do it this way and bear the original sin that was etched into his being.

Adela took a deep breath and looked up at the man in front of her.

"Mr. Qin, please don't misunderstand."

"I am the medical specialist on the 'Noah's Ark' ship, and medical analysis related to extraterrestrials is also within my duties."

"Please do not ignore my presence and process the sample yourself."

After listening to Adela's words, Qin Heling was quite surprised and gained a new understanding and perspective on her.

After a brief silence, he slowly began to speak:

"...I originally thought you would hate such a brutal killing of alien life."

Adela nodded, her gaze fixed on the corpse in front of her, and said with a hint of sadness:

"Yes, of course it's annoying..."

"No matter what kind of life it is, it feels terrible to see it pass away in front of me."

"And what about intelligent life..."

Within the Starsea Federation, those alien races with whom they coexist peacefully are truly worthy of being called companions.

If possible, it is best to avoid conflict with intelligent life forms that can be communicated with or contacted.

Standing beside the instrument, ready to take over, Adela began to adjust the equipment.

Once the equipment is debugged, in-depth analysis can be conducted based on the existing data.

Adela didn't turn around, but said to Qin Heling:

"Mr. Qin, within the 'Sisma Union,' the history of our Starsea Federation has not been without its challenges..."

"We pursue peace, but we have not forgotten the struggles that took place on the road to peace."

Adela turned her head to look at Qin Heling again, a hint of determination in her slightly misty eyes.

"After following you away, perhaps at first I still held onto those naive ideas, as you said..."

"But when I try to think from your perspective, I find that I can't even take a single step."

"So... just as I said when I followed you, let me share this heavy responsibility with you."

Her heart remained unchanged, and her innocence and ideals had not faded.

But she was still willing to take that step, leaving behind her carefree childhood of blind obedience and heading towards the real starry sky.

Qin Heling stared at Adela, momentarily at a loss for words.

After a long while, he chuckled softly twice.

"……Yeah?"

"I'm very happy."
