Chapter 971: Chapter 971

The Heavenly Disaster Beasts around Yellow Sand City, which were rather fixed, could be said to have all died at their hands this time. Apart from two fifth tier ones and those of the roaming type, the rest were not so easy to find.

The gains were very good, and after the three of them took stock, they opened the space channel and left.

Back home, the three of them had a short rest. They couldn’t enter Other World until the aura of the Law on their bodies had dissipated, so they couldn’t advance their skills for the time being.

It was only after a couple of days of rest that Li Mengyao came to find Du You. "Du You, it’s great that you’re back. We’ve almost finished constructing the Garden Star, and now we need you to open the passage," she said.

Looking at the documents Li Mengyao handed to him, Du You noted that Garden Star already had a decent foundation. Their construction this time mainly involved replacing and setting up some technologically advanced weapons.

Currently, around Garden Star, there were three special orbits encircling asteroids, each filled with various combat weapons. Of course, all these were technological weapons, and their destructive power barely reached the fourth tier. Fifth-tier technological weapons were not so easy to obtain after all, as they did not have their own research institutions in this field.

Usually, a small asteroid of this caliber would have difficulty establishing a foothold in outer space without joining other large powers. However, the situation was different now because of Du You’s previous performance in the Giant World, the College Alliance was obligated to protect him. The rıghtful source is 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

As such, as Du You’s only base in outer space and the one responsible for opening the Giant World passage, the College Alliance was obliged to protect him for two years. With the power of the College Alliance, even the major forces of outer space would not dare to cause trouble for these two years.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t really dare to develop this planet now.

Once the Other World passage was opened, if it were to get shattered, the slot would not be refunded, but rather the passage will be rendered unusable. Maybe there was a way to restore the passage, but it would remain fixed.

"Our power seems a bit insufficient," she said. "After all, developing a small asteroid right now would probably be quite difficult."

A woman beside Li Mengyao immediately spoke up, "According to our plan, it is feasible to undergo initial development for the time being. Moreover, as long as we don’t set up too many important facilities on Garden Star, we should not attract undue attention."

To attack one’s own territory, there first needed to be good enough loot to make it worthwhile, otherwise, who would bother attacking without reason. Outer space is so vast that there’s no such thing as territorial disputes, which is also a way to protect oneself.

Du You thought it over and it seemed indeed to be the case. Without setting up critical factories or facilities and by not making enemies unnecessarily, generally no one would take the risk of offending the College Alliance and Capital University just to attack him.

"In that case, I agree," he said.

"Let’s start now. Here, use this, a one-time Space Transmission Array. It’s perfect for getting over there," she said.

Du You watched as Li Mengyao directed people to unfold the Teleportation Array in the hall, thinking they were well-prepared. It seemed they had already sent people towards Garden Star ahead of time. Otherwise, flying there would not have been a short journey.

Typical spacecraft would take at least five days to fly from Earth to Garden Star, and if they encountered accidents, it would take even longer. Outer space was not without danger.

Just like the cities built by anti-human elements outside of the city’s wilderness, many criminals had escaped to outer space in the past. Surviving out there, they became akin to space pirates.

These people might not find a way into Other World—many were not Professionals. But on Earth, technological weapons were not restricted. Before reaching a certain height in ability, faced with these technological weapons, a Professional would be quite vulnerable.

Du You also noticed the people called in by Li Mengyao. She hadn’t had so many people around her before. Now, because of managing territories, Li Mengyao was much busier than before and naturally had a team around her. Being busy for the sake of his territory, Du You couldn’t help but feel somewhat moved.

For a student, devoting so much time to help manage his territory was a significant effort.

"Alright, let’s go now, let’s see what our backyard looks like," Li Mengyao said, pulling Du You forward, her eyes filled with tenderness, which made him quite uncomfortable.

The two sisters exchanged a look but said nothing, simply following closely behind Du You. The Teleportation Array could accommodate a total of ten people. Besides the four of them, six more attendants followed and stepped onto the Teleportation Array together.

Speaking of which, teleportation was something Du You had never used before, whether in Other World or on Earth.

The light flickered, and Du You felt a familiar space fluctuation, but it was too subtle and fleeting. When the scene before his eyes changed, Du You knew he had arrived at another place.

This feeling was completely different from traversing worlds; there was hardly any sensation. Du You could only feel that a force of space had wrapped around him, and then he found himself here, without any discomfort.

"This is Garden Star, do you think our construction is not bad?" Li Mengyao asked, pointing around. At that moment, a large number of houses had already been constructed in the vicinity, completely different from ordinary houses, with many people working in the distance. Of course, all were using large machinery to carry out their tasks.

Du You even saw Xi Qianxue heading over and other people from the territory, as well as students from the Academy joining the territory. Du You took a step forward, then stopped, "This gravity is light, I’m not accustomed to it." Du You’s first step made him leap up, not because he wanted to jump, but because the gravity here was indeed too light.

Li Mengyao walked over slowly and said, "Don’t worry, it’ll be fine once we open the passage. Although there is a Gravity Regulator here, it can’t adjust the gravity to match exactly how it is on Earth."

Then Du You understood and with his current strength, he had fully adapted after a few steps.

"Du You, you’re here. Come and take a look at our achievements first," Xi Qianxue said, taking Du You by the hand and leading him forward. Li Mengyao only smiled and followed behind.

This made Du You feel even more puzzled. Weren’t these two supposed to fight whenever they met? Why was Li Mengyao able to hold back now? Anyway, it was better for them to get along. Xi Qianxue had already started to introduce their achievements while they moved around.
