“Ordinary spy drones needed to continuously send and receive signals, which made them easily exposed to well-equipped opponents.

“With this drone, although it’s not certain what kind of information it could gather–there’s an element of luck involved–it would only send back information to us once it determined there was no danger in doing so.

“And to be safer, I set up two signal relay servers, so the signal won’t be directly received by our ship.”

026 appeared suddenly enlightened.

Lyu poked at her chest with his finger, and 026 instinctively hugged herself, glaring at Lyu with her innocent, big eyes.

“Tsk,” Lyu said thoughtfully, “Isn’t the boss fond of your figure? Or is it lacking in quality and gravity? How about some mechanical enhancements?”

“No!”

026 took two steps back and ran away in a flash.

In the captain’s lounge of the Feinan.

Yang Ming tossed and turned, unable to sleep, always feeling an urge to rush toward that merchant ship.

Low-level pleasure comes from indulgence, high-level pleasure comes from restraint. — Levi Sherman.

He needed to learn to restrain the instincts of the Ancient Gods.

First as a human.

Then as a Subordinate Ancient God Life Form.

Yang Ming took a deep breath, lay flat, and began to continuously concentrate his spirit, a red light membrane wrapping around him with his arms and calves slightly raised.

He was trying to learn the Valkyrie’s ‘flight’ to divert his attention.

The merchant ship slowly entered the atmosphere of Ram Star.

The agitation in Yang Ming’s heart finally began to subside.

…

Nine Galaxy hours later.

Four spy drones self-destructed one after another and transmitted the information they had gathered.

Three drones were wasted without finding any valuable information; according to the photos and audio information they transmitted back, they each stayed in a warehouse for six hours.

But fortunately, the last drone successfully went ‘Super God.’

Lyu quickly organized the intelligence gathered by this drone and hurried to find Yang Ming, who was lifting weights in the gym.

“Boss! We’ve got a big problem!”

“What?”

“What you sensed earlier should be the remnants of the Valkyrie!”

Lyu spoke quickly:

“The New Federation used some method, over on the Sherman side, the institute responsible for receiving the Valkyrie’s remnants produced about twenty grams of necrotic cell membrane! It’s those pink waxy residues!”

“Remnants? The ghostly stuff left behind when the Valkyrie’s body disintegrated upon capture? Damn!”

Yang Ming suddenly felt a bit nauseous.

He unexpectedly felt a desire to devour this stuff!

But then, Yang Ming realized he instinctively longed to obtain the remaining Valkyrie power within the remnants.

Was that how the Valkyrie felt when looking at him, so restless?

“Well, I’m not interested in this stuff,” Yang Ming took a deep breath, “I can’t go eating this stuff, or make it into an injection… Just thinking about it makes me sick!”

“Yes, Boss, I wouldn’t advise you to take such risks for this stuff.”

Lyu’s expression was complicated:

“We could even catch a weakened Valkyrie; the mining ships you asked me to buy are ready, and they’re surveying minerals on the planets where the Valkyrie might appear.

“However, Boss, the big problem I mentioned isn’t this.”

Yang Ming asked: “Is there an unexpected discovery?”

“A very unexpected discovery,” Lyu said quietly, “Boss, you go to the bridge first, and I’ll sort out the information. I feel the Valkyrie is somehow watching over you, drawing you to encounter such important intelligence in this way.”

Yang Ming’s mouth twitched slightly.

He didn’t like that kind of talk.

Moreover, Lyu had begun to keep secrets! Just like he learned those bad habits from that old guy Kolev!

Yang Ming wasn’t in a hurry, first taking a shower and changing into looser pajamas, then leisurely strolling to the bridge.

As soon as he sat in the captain’s chair, 026 came forward with small steps to set the brewed Wind Fragrant Tea beside Yang Ming’s hand.

Lyu didn’t directly appear but projected a tiny screen in front of Yang Ming, starting to display photos and corresponding audio.

Each audio track was somewhat distorted, probably due to complex extraction processes. The eavesdropped subjects spoke in Galaxy Universal Language with a New Federation accent, and Yang Ming could barely make it out.

First were the two officers who were escorting the ‘Ancient Gods Remnants,’ complaining:

“My holiday was completely ruined because of this sudden mission.”

“The damned CIA made a huge mistake recently, and now they’re desperate to make up for it, or their budget will be severely cut next year. I heard the stuff in this box is a top secret of the Sherman Empire, and the CIA paid a hefty price to obtain it.”

“I heard it’s a lump of necrotic cells… It’s all the CIA’s fault, their erroneous intelligence led to two deep-space fleet contingents being heavily damaged, making our homeland a laughingstock.”

“Yeah, there was a planetary cannon buried under the Wind Empire’s Head Star, and they knew nothing about it.”

“It’s said that since the founding of this empire, that cannon had never been used, this was its first operational use, and not even the Princes or Princesses knew of its existence.”

“I heard from higher-ups that the CIA won’t let this small country off; they’re already planning another nation-level extinction event… They might resort to using those things.”

“Hey, that’s not something we should discuss. Whatever rumors you heard at the base on Ram Star, forget them; I don’t want trouble.”

“What are you afraid of, once we’re done in three months, they’ll wipe two years of memories from us, so we don’t have to worry about talking… Do you think they’ll feed the necrotic cells in this box to those things?”
