Chapter 638: Godly Tycoon Civilization Fujiwara Takumi
"What exactly do you want to do?" You Huo was utterly perplexed by how Fang Jueyu thought.
If he wanted to play the hero and seek justice, fine, he admitted defeat! Couldn't he just leave since he couldn't beat him? What was the point of this sudden spaceship race?
Besides, the two spaceships' performances were completely different. Even though both accelerated from rest to near light speed, Fang Jueyu's spaceship would undoubtedly take much less time. Even if he were given a ten-minute head start, he might not outrun him. Wasn't this just bullying?
"If you want to concede directly, that's fine too. Leave your spaceship behind, and you can walk away!" Fang Jueyu said nonchalantly.
"You..." They were just Source Energy Users, unable to survive in outer space for long. Although the spaceship had an emergency escape pod, it was very slow. If they relied on it to return, it might take years or even longer to get back to the Guna La Civilization.
Even if they sent out a rescue signal for their family to dispatch a spaceship to pick them up, it would take time. By then, the Cosmic Federation School's entrance exam would likely have already started. Where would he find new prey?
"Young master!" A subordinate whispered in his ear, "Young master, we have nothing to lose, why not give it a shot? You're the champion of our civilization's spaceship racing competition!"
"But even so, the gap in spaceship performance is so significant, we can't win," You Huo said, troubled. Although he was very confident in his piloting skills, skill alone couldn't bridge such a hard gap.
"Young master, I remember there's a metallic asteroid belt on the way to the Guna La Civilization. It's filled with dense asteroids, and ordinary spaceships have to slow down to pass through, or they'll be in danger. I think we might be able to shake him off there!"
"Right!" You Huo's eyes sparkled with realization.
The metallic asteroid belt on the outskirts of the Guna La Civilization was quite famous. It was said a massive metal planet once existed there, its strength even surpassing ordinary level-four metals!
Later, a fierce battle between two Venerable-level Transcenders destroyed this planet, forming a dense meteorite belt.
This region was extremely complex and quite dangerous. Perhaps they could shake off this unexpected Cheng Yaojin there.
Once he returned to his civilization, hmph!
"Alright, let's race then! But you have to keep your word and let us run for ten minutes first!"
"Be my guest!" Fang Jueyu shrugged!
"Let's go!" You Huo, afraid Fang Jueyu might change his mind, immediately started the spaceship toward the direction of the Gucang Civilization and disappeared from their view in an instant.
"Host, the owner of that spaceship has sent a transmission."
"Oh, take it." Fang Jueyu lazily reclined in his seat.
A very beautiful girl appeared, her skin as fair as an elf's, with delicate features. A fluffy little creature stood on her shoulder, looking like a pet.
"Sir, thank you for coming to my rescue," the girl thanked, "I'm Xue Ling, from the Xutal civilization of the Osgrad Cosmic Kingdom."
"No need to be polite, I just can't stand seeing someone bully a girl," Fang Jueyu said with a smile, "but now there's no way for you to continue your journey."
Xue Ling's spaceship's power system was severely damaged and lost propulsion, essentially making it a heap of scrap metal. There were still over 4000 astronomical units to the Gucang Civilization, and it was impossible to arrive on time.
"Ah, well, since I'm in it for the long haul, might as well see it through," Fang Jueyu sighed; with his spaceship being large enough, there wasn't any issue with taking one more person. "I happen to be heading to the Gucang Civilization too. If you trust me, come aboard my spaceship."
Xue Ling looked surprised. She initially thought it was already quite fortunate that he was willing to save her, and didn't expect him to offer her a ride.
"That's really wonderful, thank you so much!" For taking the risk of offending someone from the Guna La civilization to save her, it's clear he couldn't really be a bad person. The girl named Xue Ling felt almost no wariness toward Fang Jueyu.
...
"My goodness, I've never been on such a luxurious spaceship before." Once aboard Fang Jueyu's spaceship, Xue Ling looked around with a look of envy, while the little creature on her shoulder shrank back shyly.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce this little guy. It's my pet, Little Ball. It's a bit shy, so please don't mind it."
"Hahaha, no worries, I love pets myself," Fang Jueyu casually took out a first-level Cosmic Crystal and held it out to the little creature.
Little Ball sniffed at the Cosmic Crystal, its small eyes suddenly lighting up with excitement, then it swallowed the crystal in one gulp.
"Host, this little thing is quite something. Normally, creatures don't eat Cosmic Crystals. This adorable creature must have an extraordinary origin!"
"Indeed," Fang Jueyu wasn't particularly surprised. The girl named Xue Ling clearly didn't have a powerful background, but her ability to stand out in a competitive exam suggested she had some unique experiences.
Her aura reached the fifth tier of a Source Energy User, yet her life force didn't differ much from his. She was considered an exceptional talent among young geniuses.
"That's a Cosmic Crystal!" Compared to Fang Jueyu, the girl's reaction was far more intense.
After securing a spot for the Cosmic Federation School's assessment, her Cosmic Empire had bestowed several Cosmic Crystals upon her, so she was keenly aware of their preciousness.
Xue Ling kept just enough for her own enhancement, saving the rest for her civilization. Being frugal was an understatement.
It was unexpected that this young man used such a thing to feed a pet. People from prominent civilizations truly were different.
"Oh, the ten minutes are almost up!" Fang Jueyu smiled slightly. "Xue Ling, get ready, we're about to set off!"
"Are you really going to chase him?" Xue Ling initially thought Fang Jueyu was only joking.
To save her, Fang Jueyu had already offended someone from the Guna La civilization. If he pursued them further, the conflict would only escalate. Once within Guna La's territory, he'd undoubtedly encounter trouble.
Moreover, the other party had been gone for a while, and they might not catch up. There was no need to stir up more trouble.
"Sir, maybe we should avoid unnecessary problems," Xue Ling advised. If Fang Jueyu got into serious trouble because of her, she'd feel guilty.
"Hmph, no one who threatens me just walks away scot-free!" Fang Jueyu flashed a sly grin. "I'm set on taking his spaceship!"
"Oh, by the way!" Fang Jueyu looked at Xue Ling and added, "I come from the Shen Hao Civilization, and my name is Fujiwara Takumi!"
