Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"Although the company owns a significant number of shares in Thousand Star City, we are unable to conduct large-scale operations here due to the original agreement."

"Why would we need any large-scale operation? We can just find it, bring it back, and that will be enough, won't it?"

Wu Qi curled his lip and said directly.

"It's not that simple."

Xiang Yu, who was sitting opposite him, shook his head.

"As far as I know, this auction they are participating in is of extremely high caliber. From the snippets of information leaked from the Shadow Network, it is clear that many extraordinary items will be auctioned, and the participants are all extremely wealthy, powerful, and high-value individuals."

Now that Fang and its minions have clearly gone into hiding, finding them won't be an easy task.

"and...."

Sakura, who was on stage, took over the topic.

"If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy, and this place is a mixed bag, so I'm afraid it might cause unforeseen complications and other problems."

After Yingduo finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment.

What initially seemed like a simple task has now become somewhat tricky.

The room fell silent, and gradually everyone's attention turned to Lin Yuan.

Why are you looking at me?

Lin Yuan smiled gently and stood up.

"Now that we've found our target, let's prepare to set off..."

"We don't need to plan ahead..."

Sakura hesitated for a moment.

"We'll talk about it on the way. Since we know the other party will be attending the auction, let's start with that auction. As for any potential problems..."

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over everyone present.

"I'll cover for you in case anything happens... Just go for it."

Is everyone going this time?

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xiang Yu pushed up his glasses, concealing the glint in his eyes. He seemed somewhat eager to try.

"As our first operation, anyone who is interested is welcome to participate."

Lin Yuan nodded, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became lively.

"I won't go. I still have research to do. Remember to test those projects for me."

Su Shuyan raised her gaze slightly, her tone cool.

"no problem."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Seeing that everyone else expressed their desire to go, he suddenly felt a sudden impulse.

Lin Yuan raised his hand to the side of his head, his fingers together, and saluted the crowd.

"I entrust the responsibility of [storage] to you all."

Upon seeing this unfamiliar etiquette, everyone felt a sudden, inexplicable stirring in their hearts.

A moment later, following Lin Yuan's example, everyone raised their arms and solemnly returned the greeting.

......

"Captain Lin."

"Hello, Captain Lin."

"team leader!"

Walking down the corridor of the main ship, many crew members shouted excitedly upon seeing Lin Yuan.

These are the crew members who survived the last operation with Lin Yuan.

Apart from the crew members who provided confessions under the inducement of the internal audit team, the remaining crew members later learned that Lin Yuan had protected them with the power of [Preservation], which allowed them to escape danger.

Therefore, they only felt respect and gratitude towards Lin Yuan.

Seeing Lin Yuan and his group surrounded in the corridor, some of the newly recruited members asked the old man curiously.

"Hey, you newcomers are really lucky to be working under Commissioner Lin... oh no, Captain Lin. Back in the day..."

The veteran crew members recounted the attack to the new members, and with their embellishments, the new members envisioned a magnificent figure punching the Tramplers and kicking the Doomsday Beast.

After a heated discussion, although some new members were still skeptical, most were influenced by the somewhat frenzied atmosphere and exclaimed that it was terrifying.

"Phew, Captain, your reputation is just unmatched!"

As Sakura entered the fleet's conference room, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The way everyone looked at Lin Yuan changed. This detail showed that the captain was not only strong, but also had impressive leadership skills.

"Hehe, after all, Captain Lin is the savior of many of us!"

After Captain Ford dropped everyone off, he said with a smile.

"Gentlemen, time is of the essence, shall we set sail?"

"Let's go." Lin Yuan nodded.

A moment later, from the ground, several points of light suddenly appeared on the spaceport of Sith.

The light gradually brightened, like several rising stars.

At its brightest moment, several stars began to move slowly.

At the Tver headquarters, Minister Spears gazed at the sky.

Others also turned their gazes in.

The Third Special Operations Fleet has set sail.

......

In the desolate space beneath a brilliant starry sky, dust and debris floated about.

With a ripple in space, the fleet slowly emerged in a blur of motion.

The central flagship radiated a cold glow under the refraction of the frigid universe, and the IPC logo and the golden hammer emblem on its hull made it appear even more solemn and dignified.

"The leap is over."

At this moment, four escort ships stood guard around the perimeter, their various weapons activated, probing and monitoring the surrounding airspace.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities, the fleet disengaged from the warp state and slowly started up in normal navigation mode.

In the distance as they advanced, a massive white structure came into view.

......

Chapter 46 Thousand Star City

(The game is updating today. I'll finish it before the gates open, then the currency war will begin!)

The white dot grew larger and larger in the field of vision.

Finally, a dynamic spherical megastructure composed of multiple nested and rotating rings of different diameters appeared before our eyes.

The different rotation speeds of the rings on each layer create a unique and ethereal beauty due to their staggered arrangement.

"Thousand Star City, we've arrived."

Listening to the various noisy signals coming from the communication system and channel, Captain Ford turned to look at the people behind him.

"The system time has been calibrated, and there are still 3 days until the start of the auction."

Xiang Yu operated the panel on his person, his fingers constantly moving in the air.

"No new intelligence has emerged in the Shadow Network, and the target has not made any unusual moves. I suggest we enter the local network of Thousand Star City to gather information."

Lin Yuan nodded after hearing this.

"Then let's prepare for landing. This is a good opportunity to do some preliminary investigations. There should be a lot of people watching the spaceport in Thousand Star City, right?"

"That's right. As a neutral place, many forces have spies here. If there's any disturbance, the news will spread very quickly."

Ford stared at the port on the screen, lost in thought.

"Then the fleet won't dock yet. We'll land on landing ships. Isn't that a wonderful stage?"

Lin Yuan turned around and looked at the crowd behind him.

"Yingduo, Xiangyu, the task of gathering information and intelligence is up to you. During the information gathering process, I authorize you to conduct offensive and defensive operations across all local networks. Wuqi, take your equipment and a squad of marines to assist in the capture operation."

Wilson, you will remain on board, leading the main Marine force, on standby in the Thousand Star City orbit. Any objections?

"...I'll go too, and while I'm at it, I'll see if there are any suitable supplies in Thousand Star City."

Vera, who was usually quiet, suddenly spoke up. Noticing the gazes of those around her, she smiled and explained:

"After all, it was the first operation, so it's very memorable."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.

"Xiao Wu, remember to protect your sister Vera." Yingduo patted Wu Qi hard, making the latter wince in pain.

"There's no need. Although I'm a logistics staff member, I still have the ability to protect myself."

Vera's face showed tranquility and composure, but her eyes showed a change.

"Well, since that's the case, we need to leave someone on standby on the ship. I'll stay here with Captain Ford."

Zhou Xing sighed, looking somewhat regretful.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Seeing that everyone had finished discussing, Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"Let's get our gear ready, we'll be landing in Thousand Star City soon."

"Yes!"
