Star Odyssey

Chapter 520: OCD And The Formcast Model

Currently, in outer space, Avery was glaring intensely at Hai Dashao. Both of them looked incredibly pitiful.

“I don’t want to fight you at a time like this. Screw off!” Avery was furious.

Hai Dashao responded in a serious tone, “I want to challenge you. I want to become one of the top five on the Top 100 Rankings.”

“We can do this later.”

“No. It has to be now.”

“You’re despicable, Hai Dashao! You’re only doing this because you want to hurt me and stop me from going down to that planet!” Avery bellowed.

Hai Dashao very seriously answered, “What kind of person do you think I am? What do you think the Top 100 Rankings are? I’m going to defeat you today and enter the top five.”

“You bastard! You’re despicable!”

“I’m just excited. Let’s begin!”

…

The wrath of Lei Long of the Dire Barbarian Clan was not any less than Avery’s. He had just persuaded the Blaze Realm and Ross Empire to help them support Avery in going down to the planet. However, Hai Dashao had stepped in, and they couldn’t just simply ignore him since Elder Ren was nearby.

Lei Long was rather annoyed by this.

Huo Houye looked rather grim. “Avery won’t be able to make it to the planet. Hai Dashao won’t let him off.”

“What should we do? Is there anyone else on hand who we can use?” Lei Long asked in a low voice, sounding rather frustrated.

Huo Houye had wanted to offer up Lilyrose, who was ranked thirty-first on the Top 100 Rankings, but after remembering that Wendy Yushan was on the planet, he gave up. Besides, Lilyrose hadn’t even arrived yet.

“Let Sleeping Prince go,” Scholar Newmoon suggested as he suddenly appeared.

Lei Long and Huo Houye were both startled. “Sleeping Prince?”

Scholar Newmoon nodded and smiled. “Sleeping Prince is ranked hundredth on the Top 100 Rankings, but his true strength is quite fearsome.”

“How would you know that?” Lei Long asked. While they were both Enlighters, that was only a measure of one’s power level. Power level had little to do with actual combat strength.

Scholar Newmoon replied, “I know the technique that he cultivates, and if I’m not wrong, he’s no weaker than Wendy Yushan.”

Lei Long and Huo Houye exchanged glances. Scholar Newmoon was very knowledgeable, and perhaps it would be a good idea to bet on this plan. They could also roughly determine Sleeping Prince’s strength based on how much star essence was needed to make a star essence skin for him.

“Fine, we’ll give him our full support.” Huo Houye agreed.

Scholar Newmoon made a sound of acknowledgement. The Graceful Mercenaries had been hired by the Ross Empire, so if Sleeping Prince made a move, then he would naturally be representing the Ross Empire. If the youth was able to take over the mountain range, then the Ross Empire would definitely be the lucky benefactor.

Five days passed without Hai Qiqi returning. Although Lu Yin wasn’t worried about her safety, she did seem to be going a bit overboard with her fun.

On the seventh day, Hai Qiqi finally returned, but she started making a fuss the moment she arrived. “What’s wrong? What happened? Was there an earthquake? What’s going on?”

Lu Yin didn’t actually want to bother with her, but upon recalling his curiosity about formcast models, he eagerly replied, “There was a huge battle a few days ago. Here, let me introduce you. This is Wendy Yushan, the real power of the Great Yu Empire.”

Hai Qiqi followed his gaze and looked at the other girl. At the same time, Wendy looked at Hai Qiqi.

Over the past few days, Wendy had heard quite a few rumors concerning Hai Qiqi and was rather curious about her.

Hai Qiqi looked Wendy up and down. “I know you! Baobao’s always wanted to surpass you.”

Wendy Yushan just looked at Hai Qiqi, confused.

Hai Qiqi blinked. “What’s with that look? Are you saying that you don’t know who Baobao is?”

Wendy Yushan turned away without making a sound.

Hai Qiqi exclaimed in an exaggerated manner. “Lan Baobao! Ranked twenty-fifth on the Top 100 Rankings! She’s pretty close to your ranking. Do you seriously not know about her?”

Wendy Yushan remained silent.

Hai Qiqi went right to her. “Hey, say something!”

Wendy Yushan looked up at the sky.

Hai Qiqi waited a while, staring at Wendy Yushan the whole time. However, the girl did not speak and did not even glance at Hai Qiqi again.

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up as he stared at Wendy Yushan in admiration. As expected of an expert in the top twenty. She had her own way of dealing with Hai Qiqi! Being ignored in such an obvious manner would definitely drive anyone crazy.

As expected, Hai Qiqi grew incredibly annoyed, and she kept talking to Wendy Yushan. However, Wendy never spoke a single word in response, and she simply closed her eyes to train.

Hai Qiqi spoke for an entire thirty minutes until her mouth ran dry. However, Wendy Yushan never once replied to anything that Hai Qiqi said. She didn’t even show a sign of annoyance.

Hai Qiqi felt incredibly frustrated, and she looked over at Lu Yin in a pleading manner. Right now, she only had one goal, which was for Wendy Yushan to speak to her. Just one word would be enough! As long as Wendy started talking, Hai Qiqi would be able to say something sarcastic to her, and that was all the Sea King’s daughter needed to feel better.

Lu Yin had a thought. Does this girl have OCD?

With this thought, he beckoned Hai Qiqi over.

She ran towards him and excitedly looked at Lu Yin. “Make her say something to me! Just a sentence is enough!”

Lu Yin grinned. “Just a sentence, eh?”

Hai Qiqi nodded hastily.

Lu Yin sighed. “Sure, but you’ll need to answer a question for me.”

“Go on!” Hai Qiqi was in a rush.

“How do I know that you won’t go back on your word?” Lu Yin asked.

Hai Qiqi suddenly grew anxious. “No, no! I’m the princess of the Sea King’s Dome! I wouldn’t lie to someone like you.”

Lu Yin frowned. That sounded slightly derogatory, but he wasn’t in the mood to focus on that part. He looked straight at her straight. “What stage is your formcast model?”

Hai Qiqi froze. “Why are you asking about that?”

Lu Yin explained, “I’ve got a five-stage model, but I want a seven-stage one.”

Hai Qiqi’s eyes went as wide as saucers. “Seven?! Are you crazy? Where are you going to get one?”

Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed, and he focused on the girl. “There aren’t any?”

Hai Qiqi shook her head. “Not that I’ve heard of.”

“What stage is yours?” he asked.

Hai Qiqi used her fingers to show “Six.

“Mine is a six-stage one. My father got it for me.”

“Six? Why aren’t there any seven-stage ones?” Lu Yin was confused.

However, Hai Qiqi was even more confused. “Why would there be a seven-stage model? Do you have any idea how a formcast model is made? They’re made by an ultra powerhouse using their own power to help someone else alter their body. My father is an Envoy, and even he can only make a six-stage formcast model. You want a seven-stage one? Dream on!”

Lu Yin had assumed that a six-stage formcast was something that could only be made by someone powerful, but he had been thinking of someone at the level of Northgate Taisui, for instance. However, with this new information, that was clearly not how it worked. Only Envoys were able to create six-stage formcast models, so it was no wonder why he hadn’t been able to find anyone with a six-stage formcast model even after searching on the network.

An Envoy! Only ultra-large organizations could boast of having experts of that level, such as the Sword Sect, Daynight clan, Wen family, and so on.

If Lu Yin did not have the die, then the only way to get a six-stage formcast model would be to steal it from those people, but how many people with such a formcast model would be weak? Perhaps not even Liu Shaoqiu would have a six-stage formcast model, and the only person from the Sword Sect who had one might be the one who had become one of the Ten Arbiters.

“Okay, I’ve told you everything, so hurry up and get her to talk to me!” Hai Qiqi pleaded anxiously.

Lu Yin gave her a strange look. “Do you have OCD or something?”

Hai Qiqi’s eyes darted about. “Nope.”

“Then why are you so fixated on having her talk to you? Does it make you anxious if she doesn’t reply?” Lu Yin asked.

Hai Qiqi glared at him. “How dare you! You’d better do what you promised!”

Lu Yin pursed his lips and walked over to Wendy Yushan, though he had a bit of a sly look. He whispered something to her, and she opened her eyes. She gave Lu Yin a glance and then looked over at Hai Qiqi. “So your name is Hai Qiqi?”

“Duh. Is there anyone else in the universe who could have such a great name?” Hai Qiqi instantly retorted, and she relaxed as soon as she started speaking. She then let out a long sigh, clearly feeling much better.

Lu Yin gave her a look. Hai Qiqi must have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It seemed that he had finally found a method to deal with her.

Wendy Yushan had only said one thing, but she had already lost interest after that. She went back to staring at the sky. Nobody knew how long the battle on Planet Pyrolyte would last for, but after it ended, what would happen to the Great Yu Empire? How far would the Sea King go to keep his promise? Wendy glanced over at Lu Yin. I’ll just leave it to him!

Boom!

With a thunderous sound, a spacecraft smashed to the ground, attracting everybody’s attention.

Northgate Lie and the rest did not feel nervous in any way. Wendy Yushan was helping them now, and there were way too few Explorer powerhouses in the entire universe who could actually pose a threat to her even when the members of the older generation were included.

All those who were able to enter the Top 100 Rankings were monsters, and such a difference in power was not something that could easily be compensated with just time. Of course, there were also some incredible older Explorers, but there were very few of those.

The hatch of the ship opened, and a person who Lu Yin was very familiar with walked out: Mira.

The moment he saw her, Lu Yin suddenly recalled the scene of the huge spacecraft that had landed on Earth during its trial. At that time, Mira had been like a monster that he’d never be able to match. She had been like a goddess. The difference between them back then had felt like a barrier that he’d never be able to break through. He hadn’t even been able to comprehend her strength.

At that time, she’d promised Lu Yin that, as long as he managed to make some achievements at the Astral Combat Academy, she’d make a recommendation for him to enter the Universe Youth Council.

Now, four years later, everything had changed. The difference between them was no longer so unfathomable. With his current abilities, Lu Yin might not be able to beat her in a duel, but he also wouldn’t lose that easily.

Mira was ranked fifty-third on the Top 100 Rankings while Zhanbing Daynight stood at fifty-fifth. If Zhanbing Daynight hadn’t been able to break through Lu Yin’s defenses, then Mira wouldn’t be able to either.

In other words, Lu Yin now wielded a strength that was somewhat similar to Mira’s.

At the base of the mountain range, Mira looked up and met Lu Yin’s gaze with a troubled glint in her eyes. Who could have thought that this young man who had merely seemed to be slightly talented back then would now have climbed to the peak of the universe? He was even able to measure up to her, and how many years had it taken her to train and cultivate to reach her current level? What kind of resources had she been given? This young man was so talented that it was scary.

The memory of what had happened on Earth as well as at the border warfront in the Erudite Flowzone flashed through her mind. At that time, she’d already known that this young man would catch up to her at some point, but she had had no idea it would be so soon. On top of that, he was still only a Limiteer at this moment.

Arbiter Wen had wanted Lu Yin to defeat Mu Rong and make the unparalleled Limiteer a little less arrogant. However, Arbiter Wen had never expected that not only would Lu Yin defeat Mu Rong, but he would also climb to the point where he now stood on the same level as the Ten Arbiters when they had been Limiteers. Arbiter Wen had always been rather condescending towards Lu Yin and thought little of him, but now, this youth was already on his way to the top. The moment Lu Yin became an Explorer, he’d definitely jump to the top of the Top 100 Rankings.
