Doomsday Roulette

Chapter

“Lord of the Clan, in just a few more hours, we will reach the star gate,” Ji Si’an said to Ye Zhongming, who often stood by the porthole.

As for the leader of the Star Eye Clan, Ji Si’an increasingly found him… strange.

Gu Ban is a major merchant, and naturally has a detailed understanding of the situation among the All Races of the Universe. He is well aware of the entanglements and grudges between this leader and many great clans.

If Ji Si’an were in such a position, he felt he certainly wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

But Ye Zhongming endured, and while he admired him, he couldn’t understand Ye Zhongming’s choice to hunt dragons here instead of at the planet hunting grounds.

The planet hunting grounds can be said to be the best opportunity for medium and small races to gain benefits every year.

Indeed, many people die there, but the rewards are even greater. It not only serves to train soldiers, keeping the clansmen blooded and maintaining their desire for combat, but also their understanding of parasites and slave races. They can also acquire far more Moon Age Gold than mere compensation, which can be used to develop their race.

Some great clans even treat the planet hunting grounds as a place to make a big profit.

Super clans… although they do not pay as much attention as other races, they never miss out and often gain more benefits than any other race.

There’s no way around it; they are stronger, killing more parasites or extracting more resources each time.

Ji Si’an had investigated what the Star Eye Clan was like. Although life had improved over the past two years, they were still a small clan transitioning towards being a medium race. Even if they met the standards of a medium race in some areas, their foundation was still too lacking, something that couldn’t be made up for in just a year or two. If they maintain this momentum for four or five years, they might fully meet the standards and become a true medium race, but for now, they cannot.

Given this, their leader, who had gone to the Library Palace to study, brought Ji Si’an along to hunt dragons, leaving the planet hunting grounds to other clansmen.

Alright, Ji Si’an admitted, Pao Bai was impressive, but the leader not participating ultimately represented a lack of full effort.

At this point, aren’t you going all out? How much can hunting dragons earn?

This was something Ji Si’an couldn’t understand and couldn’t imagine.

He was a businessman, pursuing maximum profit; in his eyes, Ye Zhongming’s actions had too low a cost-effectiveness ratio.

Ye Zhongming nodded and suddenly turned back to ask, “Are there many star gates?”

Ji Si’an hesitated for a moment and said, “Gu Ban... only knows about this one.”

The King of Cloud Summit patted his shoulder; this was already an answer beyond expectations.

“I don’t know what you, Lord of the Clan, are thinking, but investing heavily to establish a transfer point in one place, and then setting off to the star gate, is it just to save a bit of time? Even if this place can still be used in the future, is it worth it?”

Normally, hunting dragons would take several months, but after Ye Zhongming learned the location, he sent people to set up a simple spaceport on a nearby planet in advance. The necessary supplies and equipment had already been transported here, so when he decided to set off, he and Ji Si’an took the fastest, modified small airship that only carried people.

Thus, they arrived in just over ten days, briefly paused, and then switched to a large battleship filled with supplies and equipment to head to the star gate just a few hours later.

If they used this method on the way back, the entire process would probably only take forty to fifty days.

At that time, the planet hunting grounds would have just ended.

“Tell me about the Rebel Dragon Race.”

During the extremely fast voyage, Ji Si’an, with roughly 20,000 fuleira worth of strength, needed some equipment to maintain his bodily functions, so there hadn’t been too much in-depth communication. Now that they had switched to a large ship with complete facilities, naturally, there were no such issues.
