Chapter 1152 – Ten Great Experts

When Desbarres heard Zhao Hai, he nodded and said, "Correct, the Zhang Family is indeed planning to do that. Since they have spies in the family, they were aware about your abilities. They don't want you to join the realm qualifiers and then gain benefits for the family. This is because once you show your ability in the compet.i.tion, the family would no longer worry about having allies. When that time comes, the Zhang Family would have no way of dealing with us. This is also the reason why you should win and gain the best position you can. The better your position, the safer the family would be."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Rest a.s.sured, Camp Lord, I understand."

Desbarres nodded, then he turned to Margaret and said, "Miss Margaret, will you be coming with us?"

Margaret nodded and said, "Of course I'll go. We can go anytime, I also don't have much to pack."

Desbarres smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, then we'll be heading to Lofty Demon Island first. The Patriarch wouldn't be going with us. Instead, Cadjo will be leading our fleet."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, let's go. The Family's matters are important, we can't afford to waste time."

Desbarres nodded, then he brought Margaret and Zhao Hai out of the villa. But as they went out, Desbarres looked at Margaret and noticed something different about her.

Desbarres was an experienced person, therefore, he knew that something happened between Zhao Hai and Margaret between now and last night. With this thought in mind, Desbarres couldn't help but worry.

Although Thunder had agreed to Zhao Hai and Margaret's relations.h.i.+p, the two were doing things prematurely. Desbarres wasn't sure if Thunder would be provoked by this or not.

The group went out of the building and immediately rode a car to Lofty Demon Island. While sitting inside the car, Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai and said, "After you came back, the Patriarch immediately warned the Zhang Family. Moreover, the Patriarch dissolved Miss Margaret's marriage agreement with them. This is literally a slap to the Zhang Family's face. The Patriarch is afraid that we might meet danger along the way, so he told us to leave as soon as possible."

When Margaret heard Desbarres, she couldn't help but stare. Then her face lit up as she asked, "Fat Uncle, did the Patriarch really dissolve my marriage agreement?"

Desbarres nodded with a smile and said, "Of course. I wanted to tell you this yesterday. But because I drank too much, I wasn't able to. Who knew that you two would reach this point."

Hearing Desbarres, Margaret knew that he had already found out about Zhao Hai and her. Her face couldn't help but turn red as she lowered her head in silence. Meanwhile, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Camp Lord, will the Patriarch blame me for this matter?"

Desbarres sighed and said, "At present, there's no way for the Patriarch to blame you. After all, the family still needs you. Moreover, the Patriarch has already agreed to wed Miss Margaret to you."

Zhao Hai didn't worry about this matter. He believed that Thunder should already know about Margaret not returning to her villa last night. Judging by the fact that Thunder didn't send anyone over last night, it's highly probable that he wouldn't send someone today.

The car arrived at Lofty Demon Island while everyone was talking. The island was very huge and also quite lively. But the car didn't stop and just immediately sped towards the port. Cars and small-sized s.h.i.+ps were already waiting there as well as Cadjo and the people from the other Camps. Only the Bone Symbol Camp was missing.

When the car stopped, Desbarres immediately went out of the car. When he saw everyone, he laughed and said, "I apologize for being late. I drank too much yesterday."

Cadjo stared at Desbarres before turning his head to look at Zhao Hai. Then he smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll let you be proud this time. Get in quick, the Patriarch said that he wouldn't see us out. But when everyone heads back victorious, the Patriarch will personally fetch us."

Everyone nodded and entered the s.h.i.+p with Cadjo. Desbarres went to the other Camp Lords and said, "Everyone, there's no need to worry about the fellows from the External Hall. I'll take care of them."

Dia and the others nodded. They didn't say anything. They just owed Desbarres and Zhao Hai a huge favor this time, they could no longer act like before.

Desbarres didn't say anything else as he boarded the s.h.i.+p. Since this s.h.i.+p was just used for transport to the outer s.p.a.ce base, the ride wouldn't take too long. Therefore, Cadjo didn't a.s.sign any rooms to everyone. They were all just standing inside the command hall.

The s.h.i.+p smoothly took off and soon it was pa.s.sing through the planet's atmosphere. Cadjo looked at the view outside the s.h.i.+p and said, "The family will send five medium-sized s.h.i.+ps this time. Additionally, we're going to take 10 thousand mechs. This should be enough to ensure our safety. Our goal is the planet at the core of the Machine Field, our realm's capital. The qualifiers will be held there."

Zhao Hai and the others nodded, then Cadjo continued, "It will take us eight days of full-speed travel to get there from Dark Demon Planet. The time we have left should be sufficient enough. As for any accidents on the road, you won't need to worry, the family has already taken care of it."

The s.h.i.+p arrived at the outer s.p.a.ce base during Cadjo's speech. They didn't stop here as the small s.h.i.+p immediately went towards the family's medium-sized s.h.i.+ps. Not long after everyone had transferred, they took off once more.

The medium-sized s.h.i.+ps that they were in were larger than the one used in the previous mission. Not only can this s.h.i.+p store thousands of mechs, it also had smaller emergency s.h.i.+ps inside. Moreover, this s.h.i.+p had much stronger firepower.

After a.s.signing everyone their respective rooms, Cadjo called them over to the conference room. Although it was smaller than large-sized s.h.i.+ps, this medium-sized s.h.i.+p actually had complete facilities along with several conference rooms.

Everyone was called over to a small conference room. Present inside were Cadjo, Desbarres, Zhao Hai, Margaret, and then the other partic.i.p.ants from the other camps.

After everyone had sat down, Cadjo said, "I called you over to tell you about the opponents that you might meet in the qualifiers. These are very powerful people, you need to be careful if you encounter them. Besides Zhao Hai, everyone should have already received information about the partic.i.p.ants from the other families." Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "You can use these days to read up on them. It's fine as long as you get a general idea of their strength."

Zhao Hai gave a nod. Then Cadjo continued, "I'm here to tell you about experts that you need to pay special attention to. These people are said to be the strongest partic.i.p.ants in the realm qualifiers."

After he said this, Cadjo moved to the side as the wall behind him turned into a display monitor. On the monitor was the image of a person, a Mage. Displayed on his side were pale blue formations. His hair was also pale blue. He was quite handsome with his faintly smiling face. One would feel intimate while looking at him

On the person's side was an introduction. Zhao Hai read the description: Name: Streep. Nickname: Saint of Ice. Background: Water Temple. Ascendance: Four Years. Strength: Level 4 Mage. Conclusion: Extremely dangerous. Some reports state that he fought with a small battles.h.i.+p and ended up destroying it.

Then there were even more detailed introductions. Zhao Hai looked at it and understood that Streep was truly strong. He managed to reach level 4 just four years after ascending. And from the time he ascended up to the present, he had already experienced hundreds of battles and suffered no defeat.

After the introduction, Streep's fighting scenes were seen. These video clips were very short, some were even fuzzy. One of these fuzzy scenes seems to show an arena, most likely from the local qualifiers. From the video, one could see Streep cast ten-layer formations with no problem. And he could also cast 50-layer formations in a short time. One could see that his spiritual force was strong from this point.

With Zhao Hai as an exception, all other partic.i.p.ants had unattractive expressions as they looked at the video. When they saw that 10-layer formations were easily being sent out, they thought that it was because of a magic staff. However, the person on the video didn't actually use one. This ability was too formidable.

They knew that only Zhao Hai could face Streep. It was impossible for them to fight these kinds of people.

Although the equipment that the family provided them were the best there was, the other partic.i.p.ants would be the same as them. Since everyone deemed the compet.i.tion as a very important matter, people like Streep would also have top-graded equipment.

At this time, the image on the monitor changed. When he saw the person depicted on the monitor, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. It was because this person looked so strong, it also seems like he wasn't a human being, more like a giant. However, his height was somewhat shorter than most giants.

The man was about two and a half meters tall. He was bald and had skin akin to molten copper. And with his well-developed muscles, the man looked like an ancient giant that came out of the earth.

He was currently wearing armor that covered his whole body, boosting his formidable image even more. However, the most noticeable aspect of this person were the two sledgehammers on his side. They were quite large, looking almost impossible to wield.

One must know that spatial equipment weren't uncommon in the Machine Field. It was a general practice for experts, even some normal people, to have spatial equipment on them. And whether one was a Mage or a Warrior, those of notable ability would be bestowed at least a spatial item by their families. Because of this, it was impossible for this burly person to not have any spatial equipment on him. Nevertheless, he was still carrying his impossibly huge sledgehammers on his side.

Zhao Hai looked at the person's information and found out that he was named Xiong Li, nicknamed Violent Bear. He was a warrior from the Wu Family that had ascended three years ago. He was already a level 4 Warrior and was known for the powerful sword qi that he could send from his hammers. He was also physically and defensively strong judging by his copper-like skin. After making his debut, he was already undefeated in a thousand battles.

Zhao Hai knew that the Wu Family was a famous Warrior Clan and was a huge influence in the Warrior a.s.sociation. Moreover, people from the Wu Family were famed for their strength. Xiong Li ascending in the Wu Family was his absolute luck.

The third expert was an a.s.sa.s.sin named Lone Wolf Yan Zhenshan. He wore black clothes to cover his dark and thin body. His facial features were ordinary, but his eyes had a sharp and cold look. He was also at level 4. His hand techniques were very formidable. Without using any swords, he was able to one-shot his enemies. He was merciless. In the four years since he ascended, he already a.s.sa.s.sinated 1000 people, and all of them died, n.o.body survived.

The Tian Family where Yan Zhenshan came from was quite a special existence. Unlike the Ashley Family or the Wu Family that were famous for being Mages or Warriors respectively, the Tian Family dabbled in both practices. However, their Mages were always Dark Mages while their Warriors were always a.s.sa.s.sins.

But even with their special practice, the Tian Family was a member of the Dark Church. This was because the people from the Warrior a.s.sociation didn't like them, they always thought that they weren't a Warrior Family. Because of this, the Tian Family joined the Church Alliance becoming one of the forces that the Alliance had against the Warrior a.s.sociation.

The fourth expert was named Swift Wind and Rain Lei Xiaotian. He's a Wind and Water element Mage from the Wind G.o.d Palace's Lei Family. He wasn't surnamed Lei initially, but after he ascended and demonstrated his innate skills, the Lei Family decided to take him in and bestow him the surname Lei. This man was a level 4 Mage. And because he was a double-element Mage, his strength was quite formidable. In his three and a half years since ascending, he was able to fight more than 100 battles undefeated.

The fifth Expert was Divine Fire Dragon Sword Dongfang Yu. This man ascended three years ago and joined a family from the Flame Dojo of the Warrior a.s.sociation. He's a level 4 Warrior with a fire element sword technique named Fire Dragon Sword. He became a force to be reckoned with in the Dongfang Family. All of his 300 missions in the family were all completed in a perfect manner. He was a person who was serious in his duties.

The sixth expert was Strong Wind Li Kuangren. He wasn't very tall but his muscles were quite developed. He wields a two-handed ax and practices the Strong Wind Technique. He's a level 4 Warrior from the Song Family.

The seventh expert was named Meteor Zhu Chen. This man was from the Earth Temple and had ascended three years ago. His handle on earth magic was superb. He could use 10-layer formations as comfortably as drinking water. Moreover, he claimed that he was the strongest level 4 Mage in the realm.

The eighth expert was Army Breaker Lu Dingtian. He's a level 4 Warrior from the Warrior a.s.sociation's Dong Family. With his one-handed axe, it was said that he managed to hold off against a 1000-man army.

The ninth expert was Fire Saint Sun Fei. Unexpectedly, this person was from the Fire Temple's Zhang Family who had an enmity with Zhao Hai. He ascended four years ago and was also a level 4 Mage of the fire element. He was known to use 10-layer formations easily.

The last expert was Golden Egg Zhang Qinghe. This person had just ascended three years ago. There were no metal element ability users back in his lower realm. However, after he ascended and taken in by the Divine Palace of Metal's Rhea Family, his talent in metal-element formations blossomed. It took him three years to reach level 4. And with his talent in metal-element formations, both his attack and defense were beyond formidable. He's someone whose strength couldn't be underestimated!

Chapter 1153 – Quicksand Starfield

TN: Looked into LNMTL and Piaotian5 to see where the first half of the chapter went. However, both were replaced by a section from another random novel. However, the context should still be found in the next chapters. These things happen occa.s.sionally but this is the first time where a part of the chapter actually went missing. Usually, the chapter would just be pushed down.

Zhao Hai also heard about Quicksand Starfield, however, he didn't worry about it. He looked at Cadjo and said, "General Manager, do we know what kind of s.h.i.+p they are using?"

Cadjo looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, he doesn't know why Zhao Hai was asking this. But he still answered, "About 20 medium-sized wars.h.i.+ps. Although their level is lower than the ones we have, 20 is still enough to cause us serious damage."

Zhao Hai replied, "If we wipe them out in the Quicksand Starfield, what consequences would we face?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Cadjo couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "And how could we do that? Although our five battles.h.i.+ps are more advanced compared to theirs, they have the numbers. Perhaps we might be able to survive, but wiping them all out is impossible."

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Naturally, it would be impossible if we only depend on the family's five s.h.i.+ps. But if you add me, then it's possible."

Everyone in the room stared. Mages couldn't fight against a fleet, this was a well-known fact in the Machine Field. But now, Zhao Hai actually wanted to fight against the enemy's battles.h.i.+p fleet? This was completely out of everyone's expectations.

After Desbarres recovered from his shock, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Are you confident?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I am. If they come, then they would not be able to return. Perhaps we might even seize a couple of s.h.i.+ps for ourselves."

Desbarres looked at Cadjo. Naturally, Cadjo also thought about Liquid Silver. He doesn't oppose this idea, but he still hesitated before he asked, "Do you need any help from the s.h.i.+ps?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, our fleet doesn't need to face the enemy fleet. Our s.h.i.+ps can form an encirclement around their s.h.i.+ps. After that, we will disrupt their communication systems. This way, even if they can still talk to each other, they wouldn't be able to send a message back to their family. Can the General Manager do this?"

Cadjo blankly looked at Zhao Hai, then he said, "It wouldn't be difficult, however, it seems like you want to face all of their s.h.i.+ps alone? Little Hai, don't joke. The other side has 20 medium-sized battles.h.i.+ps."

Zhao hai smiled faintly and said, "Even if they have a lot of s.h.i.+ps, I'm only a single person. If they cannot hit me, then what use do their numbers have?"

Cadjo couldn't help but bod. In fact, one person destroying a battles.h.i.+p fleet wasn't unheard of in the World of Cultivation. However, there wasn't a case where someone from the Machine Field was able to do so.

Zhao Hai looked at Cadjo and Desbarres and said, "General Manager, Camp Lord, I'd like to talk to you two alone. What I'm about to say is quite important."

When Cadjo and Desbarres heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but pause. Then they nodded before commanding everyone to leave. Only the three of them and Margaret were left in the small conference room.

Once the others had retreated, Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, what do you need to say?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's good news this time. General Manager, Camp Lord, you should already be clear about my relations.h.i.+p with Margaret. Although Margaret and the Patriarch's relations.h.i.+p isn't good, they are still father and daughter in the end. Moreover, Margaret is already closely tied to the Ashley Family. Although I wouldn't dare to insert myself in the Ashley Family's matter, now that Margaret has become someone from my side, I need to do something."

Cadjo and Desbarres were intently listening to Zhao Hai, they were waiting for what he has to say next. Zhao Hai continued, "In the past few days, Margaret and I have been a.n.a.lyzing the refinement method used on Liquid Silver. And after we had a glimpse of the method, we were able to discover something. Although we can't make something as strong as Liquid Silver, we can still make inferior replicas of it. If we can successfully achieve it, then this would be an absolutely good news to the family."

Cadjo and Desbarres were immediately shaken. They never expected a windfall such as this to appear. It has been a dream for many generations in the Machine Field to refine Liquid Silver. However, even with how many materials and methods were used, none were able to succeed. And even if the Machine Field was becoming much more advanced compared to the past, this matter was still left unaccomplished. The many failures caused people to be disinterested in this matter. It was precisely because of this that Liquid Silver has been seen as a waste in the Machine Field. People only regarded it as an antique with a significant history behind it. They never did look at it as a weapon.

Chapter 1154 – A Good Plan

After some time, Cadjo and Desbarres sobered up. Then their eyes lit up. Cadjo looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, are you telling the truth? You really can make replicas of Liquid Silver?"

One couldn't blame Cadjo for his excitement. Zhao Hai wasn't from the World of Cultivation so he might not know that replicas were almost always easier to use than the original copies.

It was widely known that the Cultivation Realm was the most powerful realm in the World of Cultivation. Almost all huge sects and factions in the Cultivation realm had incomparably powerful magical artifacts; each one capable of turning mountains to seas. However, such artifacts couldn't be easily taken out.

But in addition to these powerful artifacts, these huge powers also had replicas of said artifacts. These replicas were made by these powers themselves. But even if they were just replicas, one shouldn't underestimate their might. The power held by these influences wasn't unrelated to the quality of their artifact replicas. Because of this, there was a huge market for artifact replicas in the Cultivation Realm.

Thinking that the Machine Field would have these replicas thanks to Liquid Silver, it was no wonder that Cadjo became excited.

Zhao Hai looked at Cadjo and nodded as he said, "Yes, we can certainly produce replicas. Little Silver has already chosen me as its owner. It has my spiritual imprint, allowing me to study it better. If I hand Liquid Silver over to the family, then it would only be useless. As long as I have the time, I reckon I'll be able to find out the materials used to make it. As for the refining method, it would take a while. But when the time comes, I'll have to ask the family to provide me the materials for refinement."

Cadjo happily replied, "There's no problem with that. As long as you can make replicas of Liquid Silver, then the family will give you anything you want."

Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Why didn't you reveal this before?"

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly as he replied, "Camp Lord, the time just wasn't right. If Margaret couldn't become mine, then what benefit would I have if I reveal it? If I did, then I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to guarantee my freedom."

When Desbarres heard Zhao Hai and thought about Thunder's temperament, he couldn't help but sigh and stayed silent. Zhao Hai looked at Desbarres and said, "Camp Lord, I'm aware of how well you treated me, and it has been engraved deep inside my heart. However, Liquid Silver already belongs to me. And no price can make me hand it over. If the Patriarch wants to take liquid silver away because of its value, then I would have no other choice than to leave the Ashley Family. Of course, I wouldn't preemptively do this. After all, I already have a deep relations.h.i.+p with the camp. Nevertheless, I wouldn't just recklessly reveal the matter of the replica. But now that Margaret has become my woman, I'm already a member of the Ashley Family. Because of this, I have already placed the family's benefits inside my mind. Therefore, I decided to reveal this matter. I'll have to ask the General Manager and the Camp Lord for forgiveness."

Cadjo nodded and said, "This matter has already pa.s.sed. Little Hai, you don't need to worry too much about the family. Also, when the time comes, don't forget to call me uncle."

Cadjo was indeed worthy of being a General Manager. He knew when to let things go. Naturally, people in the family who had the power to forgive numbered only a few.

When Margaret heard Cadjo, she couldn't help but feel embarra.s.sed. She adorably pouted and said, "Uncle, you're teasing me."

Cadjo laughed and said, "This little girl. You actually knew about these matters but decided to hide it from me. Hai, it seems like there are no good women left in this world."

Margaret turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai didn't tell me that it was Liquid Silver. He just told me that it was a special metal and he needed my help to study it."

Zhao Hai and Margaret reached a tacit agreement about what to say about this matter. But since Laura already told Margaret about the s.p.a.ce, she naturally knew about Liquid Silver. And because Laura and the others didn't hide anything from her, Margaret knew that Zhao Hai was deliberately lying. But in order to not expose the ident.i.ty of the s.p.a.ce, Margaret decided to help Zhao Hai with his lie.

Cadjo teased Margaret several times more. Then after some time, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Are you confident in dealing with the enemy fleet?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I was able to return from the Rainbow Meteorite Field with more than 1000 people. Taking care of a fleet wouldn't be any harder. Since we don't want the Zhang Family to know that their fleet has been destroyed, I'll have to ask the General Manager to disrupt their communications. We cannot let the Zhang Family know about this information. If a war were to happen before the end of the Six Realm Beginner compet.i.tion, then the Ashley Family would suffer."

Cadjo has been a General Manager for the Ashley Family for decades. He has seen a lot of things. Therefore, he understood what Zhao Hai meant. He immediately nodded and said, "Little Hai, you can rest a.s.sured that information about this wouldn't be sent over. All of us here are core members of the family, so there's no need to worry about loyalty. You just need to put your mind into fighting. Hurting the Zhang Family would make us expel some bad air."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "General Manager, you should send a message back to the family. Have them go to Quicksand Starfield in order to take the captured battles.h.i.+ps."

Cadjo laughed and said, "Alright, I'll go send a message. You go rest."

However, Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I can't rest now. I still need to look at the general situation. General Manager, Camp Lord, I'll be heading out first." Then after he said that, Zhao Hai vanished from the s.h.i.+p.

When Cadjo saw Zhao Hai disappearing in a flash, he couldn't help but turn to Margaret.

Margaret just smiled faintly and said, "Brother Hai has left. Uncle, you forgot that Brother Hai can use the s.p.a.ce element. If he wanted to leave the s.h.i.+p, then he wouldn't need to open any doors."

Cadjo stared, then he understood that Zhao Hai was showing him his capabilities. Moreover, Cadjo knew that although Zhao Hai said that he got help from Margaret to study Liquid Silver, Liquid Silver was complex enough that Margaret wouldn't be able to give much help. And as for Margaret being his woman, that was just a reason that Zhao Hai thought up.

Cadjo was convinced that Zhao Hai not telling the family about Liquid Silver's replicas was in order to leave a backdoor for himself. Everyone knew that Desbarres has been good to Zhao Hai. And it seems like Zhao Hai took the matters of heart very seriously. Therefore, Zhao Hai shouldn't have any reason to betray the family.

Moreover, if the Ashley Family did decide to deal with Zhao Hai, it wouldn't be very easy to do so. Zhao Hai had his spatial abilities. With the help of Liquid Silver, he was even able to send more than 1000 people to Dark Demon Planet from the Rainbow Meteorite Field. Such capability couldn't be looked down upon. If Zhao Hai really wanted to leave, then n.o.body would be able to stop him.

Zhao Hai using his spatial ability in front of Cadjo might be him showing that n.o.body can stop him if he really decided to leave. And if the family decided to take action against him, then they wouldn't just gain nothing, they would also have a formidable enemy. Such a plan wasn't worth it, so the family might as well treat Zhao Hai well.

Cadjo sighed at Zhao Hai 's thorough plan. Although he was still weak compared to the Ashley Family's overall strength, Zhao Hai still had cards he could play, allowing him to stand at an equal position with the family. At this point, it wouldn't be wise for the Ashley Family to make a move on him.

Cadjo turned to Margaret and said, "Little Margaret, go take a rest. I'll send the message back to the family. I reckon it wouldn't be long before we need them to take the captured s.h.i.+ps away."

Margaret nodded before turning around and leaving. Her face had no signs of worry. After experiencing the marvels of the s.p.a.ce, Margaret was already confident in Zhao Hai's survival.

Once Margaret had left the room, Cadjo sighed as he turned to Desbarres and said, "Fatty Des, this Zhao Hai is quite the character. I only hope that he can be tied down by Miss Margaret. This way, the family will gain a lot."

Desbarres smiled faintly and said, "I believe that as long as the family doesn't make a move against him, then Zhao Hai will not betray the family. Even if he gets separated from the family in the future, he will still look after the family because of his relations.h.i.+p with Margaret. Once he becomes an expert of the realm, then the family can sleep without worries."

Cadjo looked at Desbarres and smiled, "You fatty, you really think so? You're that confident in Zhao Hai?"

Desbarres smiled and said, "Do you think someone who completed Liquid Silver is a normal person? Maybe the whole Machine Field wouldn't be enough to contain Zhao Hai." Cadjo didn't say anything more about the topic. This was because he was beginning to believe Desbarres's words.

When Margaret entered her room, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in front of her. Margaret stared for a moment before she entered the rift. Once she was on the other side, she saw Zhao Hai along with Laura and the others.

Margaret stared, then she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, didn't you go scout? Why are you here?"

Laura looked at Margaret's expression and smiled, "Silly girl. We have the s.p.a.ce, so why does Brother Hai need to scout himself? Unless it is a special area, Brother Hai doesn't need to head out. Alright, let's go to the living room to have some fun."

Before long, Margaret entered the living room. Upon entering, Margaret noticed that the monitor already had some images displayed on it. There wasn't much to look at it since it was a view of outer s.p.a.ce. But it wasn't just stationary s.p.a.ce, the image seemed to be moving fast. Margaret knew that this wasn't the s.p.a.ce moving, but something was moving quickly through it.

Then Margaret was attracted to an area close to the monitor. Laura and the others were playing with Liquid Silver replicas to control flying needles outside.

Although Zhao Hai hadn't gone to the Quicksand Starfield before, there was already a star map saved inside the s.p.a.ce. This star map was something that was publicly distributed in the Machine Field. Although the star map had yet to be incorporated into the s.p.a.ce, Zhao Hai and the others can still use it as an ordinary map.
