The metal was being converted, but he didn't know how long the spacecraft would stay there. Was he supposed to just float around like this?
That would be very dangerous, as all sorts of disasters could occur in the universe at any time. Just like a black hole, who knew when it would appear? It might even appear right next to him.
Zhuo Daynight was the closest person to him, so how could he let her save him?
He couldn't afford to lose face like that.
Just as Lu Yin was feeling melancholy, a luxurious spacecraft appeared in the distance. It was called luxurious because the surface of the spacecraft was coated with a layer of a rare metal called polarium. This material was easy to recognize as it was one of the main materials used to make universal armor, and it was very expensive.
Without becoming an Explorer, one wouldn't be able to roam the heavens freely unless they wore universal armor. This armor allowed ordinary people to move freely in space, and although it was very expensive, it wasn't very necessary. Ordinary people didn't need to roam the heavens freely, which was why universal armor was very rare. Only large spacecraft were equipped with them.
Polarium wasn't just a material used for manufacturing, but it was also used for maintenance. This was the first time Lu Yin had seen someone apply it to a spacecraft. This was a large spacecraft, and who knew how much polarium had been used to repair it?
As the spacecraft approached, Lu Yin immediately sent out a distress signal and explained that he was a student of Astral-10. Normally, unless he was an enemy, anyone would be willing to help him. This kind of help was as easy as lifting a finger, and he could easily gain the friendship of an Astral Combat Academy student.
In the command room of the luxurious spacecraft, the operator looked up. "Aurora's personal spacecraft is requesting assistance. Spacecraft is decomposing metal and requesting entry."
"Identity?" the middle-aged captain asked.
"Student of Astral-10. His name is Lu Yin."
The captain was shocked. "A student of Astral-10?
Have him wait for a moment. "He then left the command room.
There was a completely transparent lounge on the top floor of the spacecraft, and it felt as if one was traveling through space. All sorts of projections and murals flickered all around, making one feel as if they were inside. At this moment, the middle-aged captain was reporting his request for assistance. In front of him, a graceful figure had her back to him. Her red lips took a sip of fruit juice as she spoke in an alluring voice, "Yes, let him enter."
"Yes, madam," the captain replied respectfully and slowly retreated.
What Lu Yin didn't know was that the luxurious spacecraft that he had bumped into belonged to the Nalan family. The Nalan family was publicly recognized as the wealthiest family in the Outerverse, and their businesses spanned dozens of Weaves. If the Mavis Bank and the Aurora Spacecraft Company were considered as the universe's wealthiest families, then the Nalan family was the Outerverse's wealthiest family.
The Nalan family was a legendary family, and they had become one of the wealthiest families in the Outerverse in just a few thousand years. However, they had not only been blessed with fortune, but also a terrifying curse. Over the past few thousand years, the number of Nalan family members had gradually dwindled due to the curse. The last member of the family had been the head of the Nalan family, Nalan Jun. Unfortunately, he had died on the day of his marriage to a woman, and that woman had become the official head of the Nalan family.
The woman was Madam Nalan. She was beautiful and sexy, and she was known as the richest widow in the Outerverse.
Lu Yin's Aurora entered the luxurious spacecraft while the captain personally led him to the guest room. After all, he was a student of Astral-10 and should be treated with respect. Furthermore, the Nalan family was never arrogant; this was an ironclad rule.
"Mr. Lu, what would you like to eat?
"I'll get someone to prepare it," the captain asked with a smile. His tone was respectful, but not overly humble.
Lu Yin was grateful. "Anything is fine. Thank you for letting me in. Otherwise, I don't know how long the spacecraft would have been parked."
The captain smiled. "Unless it's upgraded, the Aurora will only take a day to decompose the metal. You should be able to operate normally after that."
Lu Yin hurriedly asked, "May I know where you're from?
If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely repay your kindness. "
The captain smiled. "It's just a small matter, Mr. Lu. We're from the Nalan family."
"The Nalan family?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. He had heard of this family before; they were the wealthiest in the Outerverse. He hadn't expected to run into them.
"Thank you again, Captain. I'll remember the Nalan family's kindness."
The middle-aged captain quickly left and ordered his men to deliver food and drinks to Lu Yin. Lu Yin had only heard of some of the food before, but he had never seen it before. For example, there was caviar that glowed with a faint white light and had a refreshing floral fragrance. If Lu Yin's guess was correct, this should be the famous Endless Weave's Whitefish caviar from Planet Ran Jupiter. There was also a piece of food that looked like dried tofu that constantly flickered. It was probably made from an ingredient called the jumping bean that could hide in the void and was quite difficult to catch.
There was also a cup of colorful drink with a faint flow of energy. Lu Yin had heard of this drink before; it came from the Innerverse. There was also a plate of steak that glowed with a faint golden light. Was this the meat of an astral beast?
Lu Yin only recognized a few of the dishes on the table. He didn't recognize any of the others, but he knew that they weren't simple. Every dish here was worth dozens of star crystals because the ingredients were rare.
Each dish was worth dozens of star crystals, and Lu Yin was stunned. The entire table was worth hundreds of star crystals, which would be worth hundreds of millions of cosmic dollars.
Of course, this wasn't how it was calculated. Cosmic dollars were the currency used by ordinary people, and cultivators rarely used them as a unit of payment because the amount was too large. Generally speaking, powerful organizations used star crystals as their payment method. For many, star crystals were easy to obtain, such as the Nalan family. It was rumored that they controlled a lot of star crystal mines, but cosmic dollars were difficult to use for them.
When Lu Yin had first seen the Mavis Bank, he had been shocked by how they hung cosmic dollars on trees and let the wind blow. Anyone who picked them up could keep them. At the time, he had been shocked by the Mavis Bank's wealth, but as time passed, such a scene no longer shocked him. In the eyes of the Mavis Bank, cosmic dollars were just paper. That's right, they were just paper, nothing more.
Thus, only red and blue Mavis Bank crystal cards could be used for payment. Black and above were used for star crystals, and their main business was still star crystals.
Perhaps to these large organizations that used star crystals as payment, cosmic dollars were a product of inflation that had been inflated countless times. It was an alternative economic structure.
Lu Yin didn't stand on ceremony when faced with a table full of delicacies. He didn't care about his image as he ate and drank to his heart's content. It was free anyway, and to the Nalan family, these dishes were just common home fare.
In a lounge on the top floor, Madam Nalan smiled and looked around, "What an interesting kid. Have you investigated his background?"
A young girl walked out from behind her and respectfully answered, "Yes. Lu Yin is King Zishan of the Frostwave Weave's Great Yu Empire. He joined Astral-10 after passing the assessment and is now the leader of Astral-10."
"The leader?"
Madam Nalan was shocked as she looked at the youth on the screen, "He's only been in Astral-10 for half a year, and he's already become the leader in less than a year. What's his background?"
The young girl shook her head, "I haven't found anything yet. His history in the Great Yu Empire is a blank."
Madam Nalan was shocked, "Continue."
"Madam, there's one more piece of information. He's a One Star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker, and it took him less than a month to complete his lockbreaking," the young girl said solemnly.
Madam Nalan suddenly turned around, her eyes bright like the stars as a smile appeared on her beautiful face. "A genius and a Lockbreaker with contributions. It looks like I'll have to chat more with this young guest."
Lu Yin didn't know that his identity had been thoroughly investigated from the moment he had boarded the ship. Even his identity as a Lockbreaker had been discovered. The Nalan family was involved in many different industries. Not only were there regular merchants who relied on the family for survival, but there were also many weave powers, empires, assassins, mercenaries, and even Lockbreakers. It was very easy to investigate everything about Lu Yin.
It didn't take long for Lu Yin to finish his meal. He was full, and the table was completely clean. He felt a little embarrassed, but who cares? He could leave in a day anyway.
Now that he was full, it was time to take a walk. Lu Yin walked out of the guest room and into the hallway. After some thought, he took out the Giant Emperor's third eye, which was the white crescent-shaped crystal. He held it in his hand and carefully examined it. Zhuo Daynight and Puyu both wanted it, so what was the use of this thing?
Old Cai wouldn't have sent him to the Umbral Butterfly Weave for no reason, so there had to be a reason.
He held the Giant Emperor's third eye, and although he couldn't find any use for it, Lu Yin discovered that he could see the universe a little more clearly. It was like lifting a veil; it wasn't obvious, but it was definitely clear. He thought about it for a moment, and then star energy surged from his palm and was absorbed by the Giant Emperor's third eye. In an instant, his vision became much clearer, and he could even see the drifting star energy in the universe.
Lu Yin's eyes widened. Was this for real?
He could actually see star energy, something that could only be seen by using the Sirius Art. Now, with the help of the Giant Emperor's third eye, he was able to do so as well. It was too miraculous.
At that moment, Madam Nalan walked out from the corner of the hallway. Lu Yin turned around, and his eyes flashed. The moment he saw Madam Nalan, he was stunned. This woman had a mature charm that others couldn't compare to, and she also had a fresh and beautiful appearance. The stark contrast of her beauty caused Lu Yin to fall into a daze. At the same time, he also saw a layer of gray substance around Madam Nalan's body.
Lu Yin retracted his star energy and put away the Giant Emperor's third eye. Everything in front of him returned to normal, and it was as if the lights had brightened a little. Madam Nalan's appearance had also become clearer.
It had to be said that this woman was extremely attractive to a man of Lu Yin's age. Regardless of her appearance, her aura alone was enough to make other women pale in comparison. Even Bai Xue's beauty couldn't compare to her mature beauty. She was like a peach, fresh and tender.
Any man would want to take a bite out of her.
"Hello, Madam Nalan." Lu Yin had only been dazed for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
The woman smiled. "How did you know that I was Madam Nalan, Student Lu?"
Lu Yin smiled. "With such an aura, if you're not Madam Nalan, then I don't know who else in the universe is more qualified to be Madam Nalan."
Madam Nalan laughed, and her bright eyes stared at Lu Yin. She clearly wasn't wearing any makeup, but her appearance was captivating. She didn't try to flirt, but she still gave off an incomparably enchanting vibe. Her snow-white skin was exposed, and her skin was as smooth as ice. She had an intoxicating fragrance as she slowly approached Lu Yin. This woman was a seductress.
