I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

"What? Brother, do you think it's too expensive?" Seeing Zhao Qi's hesitation, Lin Mao asked tentatively.

"No, that's not what I meant." Zhao Qi waved his hands quickly, "It's just that I'm a little tight lately..."

Lin Mao laughed loudly when he heard this: "Brother, don't worry, I am the most particular about fate. Let's use it first, and it won't be too late to give it to me when you have money later."

The two chatted happily, and before they knew it, it was time for the market to end.

Zhao Qi said goodbye to Lin Mao and returned to the "Dawnbreaker". He handed the star grass to the alchemist on the ship for refining, and he began to practice in seclusion.

With the assistance of Star Grass, Zhao Qi's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. Soon after, he broke through the bottleneck, and his star core became even more powerful.

In the high-level conference room of the Blue Star Territory, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.

Zhao Qi sat at a rectangular conference table, facing a group of high-level officials in uniforms.

But among these faces, there was one that he was particularly familiar with - Zi Yan. She sat in the chief position, with a hint of imperceptible concern in her eyes.

"Zhao Zhaoqi, thank you for coming." Zi Yan said, her voice echoing in the spacious conference room, "We have learned some important information about the Dark Star Alliance, which is crucial for our next actions. important."

Zhao Qi nodded with a serious expression: "Please tell me, I will listen carefully."

Zi Yan took a deep breath and began to elaborate: "Recently, we have intercepted the internal communications of the Dark Star Alliance. They do not seem to be as united as we thought before. In fact, there are serious conflicts within the Dark Star Alliance."

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows, this was indeed unexpected information: "Can you tell me more specifically?"

"Several leaders of the Dark Star Alliance, including Demon Lord Black, Blood Shadow and others, have profound conflicts of interest among them."

Zi Yan explained, "For example, the Black Demon Lord and Xueying'er have always had differences in resource allocation, while the Pojun Star Thief and the Nether Messenger have many conflicts due to the battle for territory."

After hearing this, Zhao Qi felt something in his heart: "This means that we can use the conflicts between them to divide them, and maybe even win over some of them."

Zi Yan nodded: "That's right. And, as far as we know, the Dark Star Alliance is currently preparing a big plan, which seems to be related to the core power of the star."

Zhao Qi frowned: "Star core power? What do they want to do?"

"We still don't know the specific details, but what is certain is that once this plan succeeds, it will pose a huge threat to us." Zi Yan's tone was full of worry.

Zhao Qi thought for a moment, then looked up at Zi Yan: "So, how should we respond?"

Zi Yan smiled slightly: "This is exactly why we came to you. We hope that you can lead the 'Dawnbreaker' deep into the sphere of influence of the Dark Star Alliance and explore more details about their plans."

Zhao Qi did not hesitate: "I understand. I will do my best for interstellar peace."

After the meeting, Zhao Qi and Zi Yan stayed alone in the conference room. Zi Yan walked to Zhao Qi and said softly: "You have to be careful, the people of the Dark Star Alliance are cunning and powerful."

Zhao Qi looked at Zi Yan's worried eyes and felt warm in his heart: "Don't worry, I will be careful. Moreover, I am not fighting alone."

After hearing this, Zi Yan showed a gentle smile: "I believe you, Zhao Qi."

In the deep starry sky of the universe, the "Dawnbreaker" sailed quietly. It was like a sharp sword, cutting through the dark universe and sailing towards the unknown distance.

On the bridge, Zhao Qi and Lan Che stood side by side, their eyes focused on the star map ahead, which marked the safe and dangerous areas of the nearby star field.

"The activities of interstellar pirates have become more and more frequent recently." Lan Che broke the silence, frowning, "We have to be careful not to let them take advantage of the loopholes."

Zhao Qi nodded, his eyes showing determination and calmness: "Indeed, these pirates are like maggots in the universe, always looking for opportunities to bite passing ships."

While the two were talking, the communicator on the bridge suddenly rang, and a hurried voice came: "Captain, we have intercepted an encrypted communication, which seems to be internal information from the Pojun Star Thief Group!"

Zhao Qi and Lan Che looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes. The Pojun Star Pirates Group is a powerful force among interstellar pirates. They are cunning, cruel, and secretive.

"Decode the message and show it to me immediately." Zhao Qi quickly ordered.

As the decoding program ran, a sinister voice came from the communicator, talking about an upcoming attack plan.

The goal is a peaceful planet populated by millions of innocent people.

"These bastards!" Lan Che punched the console angrily, "They actually have their mind set on a peaceful planet!"

Zhao Qi took a deep breath, knowing that anger could not solve the problem. He quickly calmed down and began to analyze the situation: "We have to act quickly and notify the planet to strengthen its defenses. At the same time, we must also prepare for battle."

Lan Che nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't let the Pojun Star Thieves succeed. I will arrange the personnel right away and prepare to fight."

The two quickly divided the work. Zhao Qi was responsible for contacting allies in the surrounding star fields to request support, while Lan Che organized the crew of the "Dawn Breaker" and prepared battle arrangements.

After learning about the plan of the Pojun Star Pirates, Zhao Qi knew that it would be difficult to fight against this group of interstellar pirates with the power of the "Dawnbreaker" alone.

He needed more support and assistance, so he set his sights on the Blue Star Territory.

Zhao Qi walked into the communication room, preparing to contact the senior officials of the Blue Star Territory. He knew that this communication was crucial and would directly affect their next action plan.

The atmosphere in the communication room was a little tense. Zhao Qi took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then started the communication equipment. The image of Zi Yan, a high-level executive in the Blue Star Territory, quickly appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Miss Zi Yan." Zhao Qi greeted politely, trying to make his voice sound calm and firm, "I am Zhao Qi, the captain of the 'Dawn Breaker'. We have intercepted the plan of the Breaking Star Thief Group. They intend to attack a peaceful planet."

Zi Yan's expression changed slightly, obviously shocked by the news: "Are you sure this news is reliable?"

"It's absolutely true." Zhao Qi nodded, "We intercepted this news from the internal communication of the Pojun Star Thief Group, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

Zi Yan was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something. Zhao Qi felt a little nervous. He knew that Zi Yan's decision would directly affect their action plan.

Finally, Zi Yan spoke: "Zhao Zhaoqi, thank you for your information. The Blue Star Territory has always been committed to maintaining interstellar peace and stability, and we will not sit back and watch the wanton behavior of the Pojun Star Thief Group." Hearing this, Zhao Qi felt happy, but he knew that the matter was not over yet, so he continued.

"Miss Zi Yan, I hope to get support from the Blue Star Territory. Whether it is intelligence sharing or military assistance, we are in great need."

Zi Yan smiled slightly: "Zhao Zhaoqi, I will report your request to the superiors as soon as possible. However, I also have a condition."

"Please tell me." Zhao Qi's heart tightened, not knowing what conditions Zi Yan would propose.

"I hope you can cooperate with our fleet in the Blue Star Territory to fight against the Army-breaking Star Pirates together." Zi Yan said in a very firm tone, "Only in this way can we attack these interstellar pirates more effectively."

Zhao Qi hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision: "No problem, I am willing to accept this condition. As long as we can fight against the Pojun Star Thieves together, I am willing to cooperate with the Youlan Star Fleet."

Zi Yan nodded: "Very good, Zhao Zhaoqi. I am very pleased with your decision. I will arrange for the fleet to join you as soon as possible, and we will also provide necessary intelligence and material support."

After the communication ended, Zhao Qi breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew that with the support of the Blue Star Territory, their chances of winning against the Pojun Star Thief Group would be greatly increased.

After learning about the conspiracy of the Pojun Star Thieves, Zhao Qi knew that he needed more weapons and equipment to face the upcoming challenges.

So, he decided to go to Lingbaoxing Market to purchase the needed supplies from his old acquaintance Lin Mao.

Lingbao Star Market is a famous trading market among the stars. All kinds of rare items and advanced weapons can be found here.

As soon as Zhao Qi stepped into the market, he was attracted by the bustling crowd and the dazzling array of goods. But he did not forget the purpose of his trip and went straight to the forest trade stall.

"Boss Lin, long time no see!" Zhao Qi greeted warmly.

Lin Mao raised his head and saw that it was Zhao Qi, with a shrewd smile on his face: "Oh, it's Captain Zhao. It's been a long time since I last saw you. Are you planning to buy something good this time?"

Zhao Qi didn't mince words and directly explained his purpose: "Boss Lin, I'm here to buy weapons this time. You know I've learned some news recently and need to make some preparations."

Lin Mao was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and had a signature smile on his face. He looked more energetic than the last time we met.

Zhao Qi responded with a smile, "I came to the market this time to find some weapons that can fight against the Pojun Star Thieves."

When Lin Mao heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, "You have found the right person. I happen to have a batch of new weapons here, which will definitely allow you to show off your skills against the Pojun Star Thieves."

With that said, he led Zhao Qi to his stall. The stalls are filled with all kinds of weapons, from swords to firearms.

Lin Mao picked up a strange-looking firearm and handed it to Zhao Qi, "This gun is called 'Star Splitting Sky'. It can shoot high-energy particle beams and cause huge damage to the enemy."

Zhao Qi took the gun, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admired: "What a gun! I wonder what's so special about this gun?"

Lin Mao said with a proud smile: "This gun is not only powerful, but also has a unique skill - penetration. As long as you aim it properly, you can penetrate multiple enemies with one shot."

Hearing this, Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with excitement. He is worried about how to deal with the battleship group of Pojun Star Thieves. This gun may be his magic weapon to win.

"Okay, I want this gun." Zhao Qi said decisively.

Lin Mao laughed loudly, "I knew you would like it. However, this gun is not cheap."

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said, "Price is not an issue, as long as it is worth the money."

After some bargaining between the two, Zhao Qi finally bought "Stars Splitting the Sky" at a satisfactory price. He was secretly glad that with this gun, his confidence in fighting against the Pojun Star Thieves had increased a bit.

Lin Mao blinked and seemed to understand something. He took out a thick product catalog from under the counter and handed it to Zhao Qi: "Captain Zhao, look at what you need. I have the latest and most cutting-edge products here." goods."

Zhao Qi took the catalog and read it carefully. His eyes lingered on each weapon, weighing their use and cost-effectiveness in his mind.

Finally, he selected a few of his favorite weapons and equipment, raised his head and said to Lin Mao, "Just these, Boss Lin, give me a price."

Lin Mao looked at the items selected by Zhao Qi, thought about it secretly, and then gave a price.

Zhao Qi frowned, obviously feeling that the price was a bit high. He started to bargain, and the two of them went back and forth, quarreling, and the scene was very lively.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the market. It turned out that a group of interstellar pirates broke into the market. They armed themselves with weapons and robbed arrogantly. Vendors and customers in the market panicked and fled in all directions.

Zhao Qi and Lin Mao also heard the noise outside. They looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

Zhao Qi stood up and said to Lin Mao: "Boss Lin, you hide for a while, I'll go out and check the situation."

Lin Mao nodded and said gratefully: "Captain Zhao, you have to be careful!"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the stall. He looked around and saw that the group of interstellar pirates were looting in the center of the market. A chill flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes, and he quietly approached the pirates.

At this moment, a pirate discovered Zhao Qi. He raised his weapon and shot at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi dodged the bullet easily and quickly approached the pirate. He snatched the weapon from the pirate with one hand and subdued him to the ground with the other.

Seeing this, other pirates attacked Zhao Qi one after another. Zhao Qi, however, remained calm. He used his star core power to easily avoid the pirates' attacks and subdued them one by one. Seeing this scene, people in the market applauded and cheered for Zhao Qi.

After the battle, the market returned to calm. Zhao Qi returned to Lin Mao's stall and found that Lin Mao had been hiding under the counter and shivering.

Seeing Zhao Qi's safe return, Lin Mao was so excited that tears filled his eyes: "Captain Zhao, you are really our hero!"

Zhao Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, Boss Lin. I just did what I should do. Now, let's continue to talk about our deal."

After the incident just now, Lin Mao admired and trusted Zhao Qi even more.

He took the initiative to lower the price and sold the weapons and equipment Zhao Qi needed to him at a more favorable price. (End of chapter)
