Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

Jannadrah's eyebrows twitched, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When everyone could only hear each other's voices and not see one another, the saint from West Asia did not need to conceal his emotions.
That planet had once forced him to pay an extremely heavy price, even to the extent of losing the golden equipment he usually carried.
As a result, Jannadrah was now left with nothing, and when faced with a non-allied Bright Star, he could only choose to challenge.
For someone with so few subordinates, this was a dire situation.
He had used the hard-earned invasion card on this planet, hoping to get a return!
But then the women's camp and the Ogre Chain had successively crossed this Bright Star, leaving him feeling quite helpless.
Fortunately, there were those with poor luck, and indeed, the Mechanical Genius had landed on it.
“Don't worry, I'll return all the money to you after we get out.”
Jannadrah was now an ally with them, so he quickly made his statement.
“No need.”
The Mechanical Genius chuckled.
“With everyone being so lively, it wouldn’t be right for me to just watch from the sidelines, so I’ll join in too. Black Peach Governor, I’ll do my best as an ally, you know!”
Hearing this, the Mechanical Genius's allies felt a lack of confidence, as they really couldn't tell if this neurotic was speaking from the heart or just putting on a facade.
Faced with the spatial prompt, the Mechanical Genius made no choice; instead, he pulled out a card.
It was his Little King Card!
“Mechanical Genius uses Little King Card, with the attribute of—Bright Star Replacement.”
“Mechanical Genius chooses Twelfth Bright Star as the replacement target, exchanging positions with Seventh Bright Star.”
“Due to the Bright Star replacement, teams on both planets need to re-validate; please, Mechanical Genius and Cloud Summit Villa, choose to challenge or purchase!”
The continuous prompts left everyone dumbfounded, followed by contrasting reactions.
The people from Great America cheered wildly; this outcome was undoubtedly the most favorable for them since Cloud Summit was destined to pay a heavy price.
There were others who were both happy and worried, such as those from the women's camp; they had allied with the likes of Great America, being enemies of Cloud Summit.
It was naturally good when the enemy faced losses, but they had just avoided the terrifying Seventh Star, and who would have thought that this star would move to the front?
They had to face the crisis again, leaving a group of women feeling that the world was chaotic.
Naturally, Cloud Summit and the Ogre Chain were furious.
As for Jannadrah, the hefty toll for the Seventh Bright Star, whether it was paid by Ye Zhongming or the Mechanical Genius, made little difference to him, as… they were all enemies.
If he had to choose whom he wished would pay, he would rather it be Cloud Summit.
After all, that would mean double the income, and this team had only brought him memories of failure and pain in the past.
However, Jannadrah was also very concerned; what if Cloud Summit Villa was not clever and chose to challenge?
With Cloud Summit's strength, they should be able to win, and this would not only yield him nothing but also cause him to lose a Bright Star.
Indeed, Cloud Summit could suffer a severe loss because of this, but the greatest beneficiary would certainly not be him, but the Mechanical Genius instead.
He furrowed his brow, feeling it was time to shift his target.
As for the alliance's promises, in Jannadrah's view, they were about as serious as a child's play.
“Boss…”
The Youth Army couldn’t hold their composure, faces filled with anger and anticipation.
They did feel uncomfortable challenging the Guardian Beast they had purchased and upgraded, but they also did not want to pay the toll.
They had not been part of Cloud Summit for long, but they had quickly learned that Cloud Summit's character was one that preferred standing and dying over kneeling to live.
