Just when Li Changzhou thought that the situation had been temporarily resolved and he could start focusing on serious matters, the three-meter-tall female attendant suddenly said:
"Divine Valentine, do you really want to help them? If you do, it will have a significant negative impact on your reputation once it gets out."
A female celebrity doesn't help the weak but instead sides with the nobles to bully the weak — and the weak is relative, as the status of a Star Lord has already surpassed 99% of the lives behind the Divine Will Great Wall.
"So you helped Konglu Star just for fame?" Yang Qinglan said to Divine Valentine.
Divine Valentine glanced at her, "Put away your crude provocation. I know what I want to do, and no one can interfere with me."
"Then I'm relieved." Yang Qinglan said with a slight smile, her beauty captivating.
Divine Valentine huffed and turned to leave the bridge, with the three-meter-tall attendant quickly following her.
"My ship has prepared energy for two deep space entries. You only need to gather it one more time, and we can directly reach Konglu Star." Divine Valentine dropped this sentence without looking back and returned to her own ship.
Turquoise Pool seemed thoughtful. Was this also her "arrangement," just like how the spaceship stopped before the collision?
Navigator Da Yi glanced at the energy meter (the three ships were connected) and reported to Li Changzhou:
"Captain, what Sisi said is true — no, no, no, how could what Sisi said be false! I can't believe I doubted Sisi. I deserve to die, I'm guilty, I....."
"That's enough." Li Changzhou interrupted him, "Your doubt about Sisi shows that you have the highest level of professional integrity as a navigator. You're a qualified and remarkable navigator, and your Sisi would be proud of you."
The premise being, he hadn't just asked her to drink tea from a cup.
"Proud... I am Sisi's pride!" Every eye on Da Yi's tentacles lit up.
"Refuel with liquid hydrogen." Li Changzhou ordered.
Someone like Da Yi, who was fanatical about someone, would basically have no hope of becoming an Immortal in a lifetime on Earth if encountering a Third Level, Second Level Human Tribulation — just an Emotion Control could take half his life.
Engineer Houhou looked towards Itheri, "According to the schedule, it's your turn to go with Arnes."
"Arnes has left, you want me to go alone? No way!" Itheri decisively refused.
"Let's go, let's go!" Li Qianxia, acting familiar, pushed Itheri's shoulder and walked quickly out of the bridge with Bi following behind the two.
This was definitely a play outing.
Li Changzhou retracted his gaze, about to tease Yang Qinglan about his sister, but suddenly remembered something and quickly got up.
"Please, have a seat. How could I let Miss Yang stand for so long? I deserve to die, I'm guilty." He pressed Yang Qinglan into the captain's throne.
Yang Qinglan chuckled, "If you had let me sit earlier, Valentine would have realized my importance in your eyes. Your persuasion just now would have definitely failed."
Li Changzhou, recalling her incisive words from earlier, couldn't help but laugh, "Law and Mana are useless in the cosmos. The most powerful thing on Earth is still philosophy."
"Humph!" Turquoise Pool crossed her arms and said displeasingly, "Without my mirror, would philosophy ever have the chance to take the stage? All philosophy must be based on materiality, and here I am, providing the material, standing right here."
"You also take great credit. Look, I've even stood up to show my respect for you," Li Changzhou said.
"Nonsense!" Turquoise Pool laughed and scolded, "But you're not bad either. It was your attention to detail that noticed Itheri loves beauty, and you dared not let Valentine act recklessly. Therefore, this is the credit of all three of us."
Her eyes danced with allure as she asked Yang Qinglan with a smile, "Isn't it beneficial for both sides to unite and harmful for both to part?"
Sitting in the captain's throne, Yang Qinglan's face remained expressionless, "It's 'us' persuading others, not you persuading me."
"'Persuasion' only works on those who need 'persuading,' don't you think?" Turquoise Pool tilted her head towards Li Changzhou, her face full of a teasing smile.
Li Changzhou pretended not to see, and he looked at Da Yi, "Can we see Itheri and the others? If possible, display the image. Let me also increase my experience."
Beauty gave him a sideways glance.
The image suddenly popped up, displaying the voices and figures of Li Qianxia, Bi, and Itheri.
"A hacker?" Da Yi asked.
"The signal is normal." Itheri responded.
"Can we chat?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.
"Most of the time, yes. This ship is a bit old, so there might be some static when entering the atmosphere, and if we're unlucky, we'll lose the signal altogether. But it usually restores after breaking through the atmosphere layer."
"That looks so advanced!"
"You call that... advanced?" Itheri was puzzled.
The three left the main ship and entered a small spacecraft, which usually also served as the main ship's power source.
Itheri glanced at the monitor; one of the twelve small spacecraft was missing.
After looking twice, she clicked on the spacecraft in dock 2, setting it to ready mode.
After all this, she turned to Bi, "You're not Cosmic People, so wear a space suit just in case, the same as me."
Bi nodded, then suddenly asked as if remembering something, "I can eat candy inside a spacesuit, right?"
"Of course, I often eat lollipops while hacking off the enemy's heads."
"I'll wear one too." Li Qianxia was eager to try.
"Aren't you a Cosmic Person?" Itheri looked at her curiously.
