The meaning of this Gemini Star trip was special to Wang Zheng. Zhang Shan and the rest had rarely seen him this excited. His happiness transcended words. Wang Zheng’s Conqueror was still a prototype. Testing on such a super mecha was a complicated business. The core issue was to eradicate the chaos that emerged from the complex ability combinations. This still had to be eliminated, but its capabilities inspired confidence. Even abyss Zergs were vulnerable when faced with it.
The heavy gravitational field of the Gemini Star was an excellent place for training. Lie Xin, after adjusting, had shed the anti-gravitational suit, thereby accomplishing the training goal. Zhang Shan was trying as well. The time here was undoubtedly a good opportunity, especially to be training with babes. Looks like there was some truth behind that statement that “Men and women together made work light”. The busiest amongst them was Ao Ziwei. She was often not around, as though the lab had desperate need of her.
While Wang Zheng was experiencing the unique attractions of Gemini Star, Yan Xiaosu’s honeymoon trip had reached its last stop. They were on Titatitan star, and Lan Ling warmly welcomed the two personally.
“Who would have thought that our Tyrant Su would get married just like that. Congratulations to the both of you. When are you having babies?” Lan Ling teased. Yan Xiaosu was an old friend now, and she definitely would not hold back. Although the formal matrimony had not happened, the present had already arrived, and a special program on Tita Star had been arranged.
Zhao Elin was a little bashful, but secretly she was pleasantly surprised. Each day after their marriage had been filled with fairytale-like surprises. This husband she had picked up off the streets was much more formidable than she had thought.
Of course, Lan Ling was not the only one to make an appearance. When Shan Meng appeared and stomped his way over Yan Xiaosu, Zhao Elin clapped a hand over her small mouth. She had almost screamed, thinking a monster had appeared. Although Zhao Elin had heard about Tita Star before, but she had not known the giants were that big. But in a thrice, Yan Xiaosu was sitting on Shan Meng’s shoulder, pointing her out proudly. “Shan Meng, this is my woman, Zhao Elin.”
The label was a little coarse, and Zhao Elin reddened. After all, one was an ignoramus, and the other a veteran.
“Haha, I have three women. You have one. I’m ahead.”
Hearing this, Zhao Elin overcame her inhibitions of meeting a giant for the first time. She forced herself to calmness, and stared at the towering giant. Was he trying to be a bad influence? Of course, the majority of her stare was directed towards Yan Xiaosu. She would wait to see his answer.
“Keh, if the golden wind and jade dew could meet but once, it would be greater than the sum of all human life. Do you know?” Tyrant Su now clearly understood that one good one was all that was needed.
“Don’t know. But Shan Meng understands. Haha!” Shan Meng had already grasped the idea. His wife was strict. On this point, humans and Tita people were in the same boat.
Yan Xiaosu was left speechless. Something had undoubtedly been lost in cultural translation. But faced with Zhao Elin, he could not pursue the topic.
“The Great Titan is still in training, but the subsequent activities have been arranged.”
“Forget it, he’s too crazy.” Yan Xiaosu hastily declined.
After the initial hubbub, Shan Meng hosted a Titatitan style congratulation for Yan Xiaosu. Zhao Elin was both surprised and touched. She was drunk off Yan Xiaosu’s aura and charm, and looked up to him more than ever.
Lan Ling looked on, her heart darkening slightly. She did not know where her price was, nor what he looked like.
As she brooded, the vague outline of her future groom suddenly clarified in her mind…
Her face reddened. Hoisting the wine, she walked beside Yan Xiaosu. “Oh, and how is Wang Zheng doing?”
“Him? Still the same old. Still shaking the world wherever he goes. But it seems like he doesn’t have a girlfriend yet.”
Yan Xiaosu teased back. They were too close, and Tyrant Su could not hold himself back. That guy was the real wreck.
He raised a few of Wang Zheng’s recent events. Zhao Elin blinked. She was quickly realizing that whenever “Wang Zheng” was mentioned, everyone was rapt and the room quieted considerably.
This was a wild night. Yan Xiaosu was savoring the delights of being a man, thanks to Zhao Elin. No matter what he suggested, she was completely compliant. They blended and mixed, filled with emotions. Finally, Zhao Elin could take no more, and drifted off to sleep, worn out with pleasure.
Yan Xiaosu tenderly patted her hair parting, and Zhao Elin purred contentedly like a kitten. Her nubile body began to curl slightly. Feeling her happy aura, Yan Xiaosu was filled with love.
But he had chosen Titatitan Star as his final stop not only for the honeymoon.
Titatitan Star was festering with pirates. There would often be cases of pirates, which was starting to affect Titatitan Star’s progress.
Like a school of sharks on the smell of blood, interstellar pirates had long been swarming around Titatitan Star’s wealth. In the beginning, they had only looked for opportunities on the remote rural regions, but now, as the position of Titatitan Star became clearer, and that the protection agreements of many strong countries had been relaxed, they were becoming bolder and bolder.
The pirates could not control themselves anymore!
An unprotected new start-up planet?
If it was not for the fact that there were too many interests tied up in the supergravity ore, the pirates would have long invaded Titatitan and demanded a ‘protection fee’.
But although they had not directly put the moves on Titatitan star, but the pirates who worked the border were becoming more brazen. As long as a ship did not hoist the flag of Aslan, Arbiter, Manalasuo, or any other big country’s financial conglomerate, it would be pursued by the pirates. Once an opportunity was discovered, these sharks would show no mercy in devouring their prey.
Some of the smaller financial groups had skimped on the bodyguarding costs in order to save on expenses. They had paid a painful price, and their losses had been devastating. This had greatly affected the economic attractiveness of Titatitan Star. The flexibility of small financial groups could greatly boost the bargaining power of Titatitan Star against the monopolizing conglomerates.
This was the reason why Yan Xiaosu had rushed over to Tita Star. Little Lucky Star Tita Investments and OMG’s shuttles had met with pirates on many occasions. Because the super-gravity ore was too important, Little Lucky Star and OMG’s crew had hired a fairly large protection force, spending quite a pretty penny. Even so, their losses were not few in their clashes with pirates, who of course did not escape unscathed either. But such a situation had to be dealt with quickly, or Tita Star’s progress would take a fatal hit.
The pirate incidents were not simply amateur pirates. There was the possibility that some huge empire was backing them. In order to preserve the independence of Tita Star, especially Mu Sen’s representation of the Tita people’s will, they were unwilling to become a colony. They did not need other countries to set up their own militaries and demand special privileges on their country. But this had exposed the flaws of Tita Star’s space troops… Well it was not exactly a flaw, they did not have one at all.
