Chapter 170: A Town's Thirty Years
"You applied to come here for a trial, so your school sent your information to me." The blue-robed elder smiled.
Li Yuan and Shi Xiao understood.
This was normal.
"My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Jing. I'm the officer in charge of Base Three." The blue-robed elder said, "As elite students of Kunlun Martial University, you are different from ordinary warriors who come here to test their skills. We will pay extra attention to you."
"Senior Liu," Li Yuan and Shi Xiao immediately adjusted their address.
As the officer in charge of a star realm war base, the blue-robed elder's authority was undoubtedly astonishing.
Moreover, the independence of a war base like this one was undoubtedly high.
When venturing into life and death situations on someone else's turf, it was natural to show respect.
Furthermore, Li Yuan had already vaguely guessed the reason for the other party's 'Essence Warrior' status, and a hint of respect arose in his heart.
"Since this is your first time here, there are some things I need to make clear to you in advance." The blue-robed elder, Liu Jing, said, "First, among the four major outposts of the Bright Ruin Star Realm, Bases One and Two are extremely far from us, more than ten thousand kilometers away, so we can't rely on them."
"Bases One and Two, are they the entry bases in Africa?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
The four entrances of the Bright Ruin Star Realm.
Two in Africa, and two in Xia Country.
"Yes." Liu Jing nodded. "Base Three and Base Four are relatively close to each other, but they are still over two thousand kilometers apart... Communication between them is often done through the Azure Star Headquarters."
Li Yuan and Shi Xiao were speechless.
Two thousand kilometers, in the dangerous and powerful alien-filled Bright Ruin Star Realm, was already considered very far.
"So, for Base Three to survive, we can only rely on our own strength." The blue-robed elder, Liu Jing, looked at the two of them, the various civilizations in the Bright Ruin Star Realm were only a small force, emphasizing low-key development and gradual progress.
Each war base only managed a few hundred kilometers of its surroundings.
Using hot weapons could indeed inflict heavy casualties on the aliens.
Even second-rank aliens would suffer under a large-scale hot weapon siege.
But who was the true overlord of the entire Bright Ruin Star Realm?
It wasn't those Second Rank Aliens, but a Flying Sky Warrior! Once such an existence bears enmity, it would spell disaster for several of our Outpost Bases.
Similar incidents are not uncommon during humanity's exploration of various Star Realms.
"Chief." The door opened, and the officer from before entered.
"Arrange for Wu Que's squad to accept Shi Xiao." Liu Jing said, "She was asking for a powerful warrior, wasn't she? I'll send her one."
"Yes, sir." The officer nodded. "Warrior Shi Xiao, follow me."
"Xu An, keep in touch." Shi Xiao blinked, guessing that Li Yuan had his own cultivation plans and not insisting on staying with him.
"Alright." Li Yuan smiled and nodded.
... As the two left, the door closed again.
Inside, only Li Yuan and Liu Jing remained.
"Rest assured, only I know your detailed information." Liu Jing smiled slightly. "How is your teacher, Lihang?"
"Do you know Teacher Li?" Li Yuan was surprised.
"We were classmates at Kunlun Martial University. We had a good relationship back then." Liu Jing smiled. "It's just a pity we haven't seen each other in over thirty years."
Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Over thirty years?
The more he saw, the more Li Yuan felt the influence of Kunlun Martial University on Xia Guo. Looking around, many Source Warriors within Xia Guo were graduates of Kunlun Martial University.
"Follow your teacher's instructions."
"I'll grade your life-and-death adventures." Liu Jing smiled. "So, while you're venturing alone, if you kill aliens, bring back distinctive objects from their bodies as proof. Understand?"
"Yes, sir." Li Yuan nodded.
Mingxu Star Realm is not like a practical assessment; there is no all-around monitoring.
Everything relies on oneself.
"With Shi Xiao joining the Warrior Squad, her teammates will help her, so I won't say more. Since you're venturing alone, I'll give you a few extra reminders." Liu Jing said.
"During your adventures, apart from being cautious of those alien beasts, you should also pay attention to two situations." Liu Jing said solemnly. "Firstly, the Tianliang Civilization's lifeforms resemble us humans in appearance, and their activity area is adjacent to our Third Outpost Base."
"According to our investigations, one of their Star Realm entrances is less than two thousand kilometers from us."
"So close?" Li Yuan was astonished.
If it's less than two thousand kilometers, then it's indeed possible for the strong warriors of both sides to encounter each other during their explorations and adventures.
"Yes, very close." Liu Jing said. "Apart from that, be cautious of other human warriors."
"Other human warriors?" Li Yuan's pupils constricted.
Are they going to kill each other?
"People have their own desires. If two warrior squads simultaneously discover an astonishingly valuable treasure, how will they divide it?" Liu Jing said indifferently.
Li Yuan fell silent.
"If one side backs down, it's fine. But if both sides want it, there will inevitably be a fight." Liu Jing said, "In Azure Star, within the War Base, there are laws and regulations prohibiting mutual slaughter."
"But when faced with the temptation of treasures, don't test human nature."
"Beyond 300 kilometers from the War Fortress... If human warriors fight each other, we won't interfere."
"Therefore, you should maintain a sense of vigilance towards other human warriors." Liu Jing said.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior." Li Yuan said.
Senior Liu Jing's words were so clear and transparent; he was undoubtedly sincere.
"Go."
...
Liu Jing saw Li Yuan off.
"In the end, we all grow old." Liu Jing sighed inwardly. "It's been over thirty years."
As a Source Warrior, he could live for a long time, but his heart was already weary.
He wanted to return home but couldn't.
Such days would continue.
...
After leaving Liu Jing's office, another Warrior Officer greeted Li Yuan.
The officer primarily introduced the environment within a 500-kilometer radius of the War Fortress, such as the locations of Second Rank Aliens and areas where many aliens gathered.
The resource points (farming, minerals) and observation points of the human civilization were also detailed.
Even the main areas of activity of other Warrior Squads were described in great detail.
This information was not something that would be found in the Starfire Martial Palace's database.
With Li Yuan's current spirit power, while he couldn't memorize everything instantly, he could quickly grasp the general information.
Finally.
"How long has Senior Liu been here?" Li Yuan asked his question.
"You mean the Chief?" The Warrior Officer was taken aback, then laughed. "I heard it's been over thirty years."
"He's the first commander of the Third Outpost Base, and he volunteered to stay here. I heard he was once a 25th-rank Source Warrior but suffered an injury that significantly reduced his strength."
"The few Source Warriors in the base are all volunteers."
"With Source Warriors and the War Fortress as our last line of defense, our human civilization can barely maintain a foothold in Mingxu Star Realm." The Warrior Officer sighed. "Only then will the various alien forces acknowledge these few hundred kilometers as our territory."
"However."
"We First Rank Warriors have holidays and rotations, and we can return home... But the Source Warriors have to stay here for life."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling a sense of namelessness in his heart.
In human civilization, there are always many silent contributors.
...
In Mingxu Star Realm, there is no night; two suns perpetually intertwine in the sky.
Therefore, on the day of their arrival in Mingxu Star Realm, at 6 p.m. Azure Star time, after preparing everything, Li Yuan left the Third Outpost Base alone.
He began his first Star Realm adventure.
