Chapter 1434: The Crimson-Skinned Girl
"I heard your sister is about to break through?" The taller Crimson-Skinned girl asked as they walked towards the shop entrance.
"Who told you that?" The smaller Crimson-Skinned girl replied casually, "She's still far from it! Hasn't it been over a hundred years since she's been like this?"
"But there have been rumors lately..."
"Do you believe the rumors or me?"
"Of course, I believe you."
"Then what's the problem?... Hey, what's this?"
By now, the two girls had entered the shop.
The moment the smaller Crimson-Skinned girl stepped through the door, she immediately noticed Su Yu.
Su Yu was the only customer in the shop, but his unique presence startled her.
Firstly, there was a table full of dishes in front of Su Yu, and the variety of dishes was astonishing, almost all of which were not on the shop's menu.
Secondly, Su Yu was a Yellow-Skinned Humanoid! How could she not be surprised?
It would be strange if a Blue Star person went to a restaurant and saw someone with a blood-red skin and wasn't surprised.
"Why is this person's skin yellow?" The smaller Crimson-Skinned girl immediately communicated with her companion using psychic energy, "And with such thin arms and legs, but the face looks male."
"Indeed," the taller Crimson-Skinned girl was also surprised, staring intently at Su Yu.
She was very puzzled as to why Su Yu was here. Moreover, at this time? This person wasn't supposed to be here according to the plan.
But it was too late now.
She immediately extended her psychic energy towards the kitchen.
Finding the 'Innkeeper' there, the Crimson-Skinned girl felt relieved.
The smaller Crimson-Skinned girl had no idea what was about to happen.
She glanced at Su Yu a few times and then politely averted her gaze.
Then she called out to the kitchen, "Boss, the same as the last few times!"
This was already the fifth time she and the other girl had visited this shop.
Although the shop was in a remote location, several dishes here were very much to her taste. She couldn't resist coming back a second time, and then a third time.
In her nearly thousand years of life, the taste of these dishes was absolutely top-notch, and she even considered taking the shop owner with her to cook exclusively for her!
But this time was obviously different from the previous visits.
As soon as she finished speaking, a buzzing wind sound echoed behind her.
Instinctively turning around, she noticed a Semimechanical Being descending from above!
This Semimechanical Being had deep blue paint on its arms and thighs, and six of the latest DR-43 Laser Cannons were installed on its body.
"Damn, it's an enemy!" The Crimson-Skinned girl was shocked, her mind going blank.
...
The biggest difference between Grella-13 and Feg Hub was the presence of numerous Semimechanical Beings.
Feg Hub had no Semimechanical Beings; the vast majority were Carbon-Based Lifeforms, and a very small portion, less than one-hundredth of a percent, were Automatons.
Intelligent Beings in the Saint Silver Federation cultivated Spirit Energy, and a carbon-based physical body ensured the best control over Spirit Energy.
However, Grella-13 was different.
There were too many lifeforms here, and Spirit Energy was extremely scarce.
Moreover, having been enslaved by the Northern Hemisphere Automatons, many lifeforms here viewed Automatons as superior life and resented not being Automatons themselves. Some even considered it a shame to be an Intelligent Being.
Many Carbon-Based Lifeforms began to change their approach, partially mechanizing their bodies to enhance their strength.
These Intelligent Beings started with their limbs, modifying them into mechanized arms and legs, and then their torsos.
Some radical elements had even mechanized all their body parts except for their brains, almost becoming fully mechanized! These radicals believed that with such thorough modifications, the Northern Hemisphere Automatons might accept them and allow them to become part of the Automaton race.
However, the Automatons paid no heed.
The Automaton Empire issued a new regulation: "'Automaton' refers to lifeforms entirely composed of silicon-based electronic components, with not a single carbon-based cell.
If there are carbon-based cells present, they will be considered Carbon-Based Lifeforms."
Thus, the efforts of these Semimechanical Lifeforms to defect to the Northern Hemisphere Automatons ended in failure.
Nevertheless, they did not stop their mechanization process.
As the saying goes, spiritual energy resources were scarce on this planet, and mechanization was much cheaper.
Consequently, there were numerous Semimechanical Lifeforms on this planet.
From Su Yu's perspective, he could see that the mechanized Intelligent Beings accounted for approximately 10% of the total population.
...
The being that appeared before the Crimson-Skinned girl was a Semimechanical Being.
Apart from the laser cannons, he was also enveloped in a thick layer of Psionic Armor.
Judging by his combat power, the smaller Crimson-Skinned girl found that the enemy's strength was similar to hers, both around the Flamefront Rank (Seventh Rank).
"Aisha..." She quickly turned to her companion.
But to her shock, she didn't see surprise or tension on her companion's face; instead, she saw a sinister smile.
"Come in, Ireya," the Crimson-Skinned girl named Aisha said, her palm open, revealing a pure white hexagonal crystal in her hand.
The next second, a flash of white light passed by, and the two Crimson-Skinned girls and the Semimechanical Being simultaneously disappeared, as if teleported away.
In front of Su Yu, only the white crystal remained, floating in midair.
