Baiyu walked towards the east of Green Grass City, relying on the translator he obtained from the Cuiye Race, allowing him to communicate quite smoothly with the city's inhabitants.

The word he heard most frequently was "White Dust,"

which seemed to be an organization of merchant convoy planning to dock on Green Sea Star soon; many people wanted to buy items from other planets.

Interstellar merchants.

This was a profession Baiyu had newly learned about.

Merchants wandering between various planets, engaged in trade aboard merchant ships.

White Dust caravan.

It seemed to be a renowned interstellar merchant convoy within the Wild Bull Star Realm.

Although resources were scarce on Green Sea Star, there were still quite a number of people, and since it wasn't wartime, merchant convoys regularly visited.

The people of Green Grass City also looked forward to the arrival of the merchant convoy.

This information was crucial.

As a merchant convoy, they certainly possessed the detailed Imperial information Baiyu wanted to know.

Although the basic information.

The City Lord must have understood.

Her knowledge was surely more extensive than Baiyu imagined, but she definitely didn't know the situation within the Imperial high ranks.

Baiyu thought it over and decided to wait until the "White Dust" caravan arrived to gather information.

Three days later.

Loloya seemed to still be gathering information within the city, while Baiyu and the city folk gathered at the city's largest trade center.

Underneath the trade center's massive surface building.

A group of people in white robes stood in front of over a dozen huge transport vehicles, conducting various transactions.

Baiyu had obtained a considerable amount of Green Sea Star currency from the Cuiye Race.

This was evidently the White Dust caravan.

"What are you looking for?"

A person in a white robe looked at him.

"I want a star map, an Imperial one."

Baiyu said gravely.

The white-robed individual produced a palm-sized electronic device: "You can select whatever you want on it, once done, you can directly pay. I'll issue a receipt, and you can go to our starship warehouse to collect it."

After that,

The white-robed person went to attend other customers.

Convoys like theirs typically stay on a planet for one to two months before departing, so they park the cosmic merchant ships on the planet's near-Earth orbit, then dispatch other airships to the planet to serve as warehouses.

Baiyu swiftly browsed the instrument.

It was nearly like a merchandise menu.

However,

The price of star maps was extremely high, and Baiyu's combined funds couldn't afford even a small Star Realm's star map.

"Three thousand stars in the heart of the Imperial?"

At that moment,

Baiyu suddenly noticed a ridiculously cheap star map.

Furthermore, it was marked with the Imperial Center's Holy River Star Realm.

Baiyu opened the details.

He then understood, it was the star map of the Imperial's central three thousand stars, but it wasn't complete.

Many star paths weren't marked.

Moreover, it serves no real purpose; the Imperial Center's three thousand stars are occupied by enormous families and powers, typical merchant convoys simply cannot trade in such places.

This item is like,

Flavorless and dispensable waste.

This ultra-affordable price was due to its ineffectiveness.

However,

It seemed just right for Baiyu.

It marked several Imperial great families' names, allowing Baiyu to learn.

Soon,

Baiyu promptly purchased this star map, while the other party was surprised and repeatedly warned Baiyu that it was incomplete and that star maps, once sold, were non-refundable and could not be exchanged.

Seeing Baiyu's certainty, the white-robed individual no longer insisted, directly issuing Baiyu a receipt.

"In a while, you can retrieve it from the warehouse. Our staff there can guide you to collect it."

The white-robed individual's customer service was excellent.

He basically walked through all the steps.

Baiyu followed the "White Dust" caravan staff to the airship warehouse suspended in the air.

Just as Baiyu appreciated the caravan's good customer service mentally, a fiery meteor suddenly streaked across the sky.

Seeing this, Baiyu instantly felt a sense of impending doom.

Not long ago,

He witnessed a similar scene on Wood Iron Star.

It was when the Mechanical Race was bombing from near-Earth orbit.

Boom!

At this moment, a world-shaking explosion sounded, the suspended airship warehouse was instantly hit by dozens of bombs, turning into a splendid fireworks display, exploding in mid-air.

Numerous pieces of debris fell like rain.

More than a dozen airship warehouses suspended in the air were all destroyed in one instant, followed by a massive fleet that pierced through the atmosphere, arriving into the Green Sea Star's sky.

"All of Green Grass City's residents, listen up. What you are seeing now is the Angry Shark Pirate Gang. We have officially taken control of this planet and have seized the near-Earth orbit. All defensive measures on the planet have been destroyed.

Surrender all your possessions.

In one day, we will conduct an orbital bombardment. If you turn over a sufficient amount of possessions, missiles won't drop here.

Remember,

You have only one day."

As the words fell,

Two more bombs dropped from the sky, directly hitting Green Grass City.

A large area of buildings was destroyed.

Sounds of screaming arose from a crowd of people.

Soon, several battleships from Green Grass City ascended, but against the Angry Shark Pirate Gang, they were all destroyed in one blow.

After Green Grass City launched these battleships, there was no follow-up, clearly the full extent of their defense forces.

However,

This act seemed to have angered the Angry Shark Pirate Gang in the sky: "It seems you don't want to cooperate, so we'll show you your current predicament."

After speaking,

The Angry Shark Pirate Gang prepared to initiate a continuous bombardment over Green Grass City.

Suddenly at this time,

From amidst the ruins,

Baiyu crawled out from underneath the crushed stones, dusted himself off, shook off a layer of ash, and then looked towards the sky.

The former airship warehouse had become ruins.

All goods above had been destroyed by the explosion, burned clean.

Seeing this moment,

Baiyu felt a blockage in his chest, his anger bubbling up: "Damn it, I just bought that stuff."

In an instant,

The Blood Qi surged within him, his entire being transformed into an arc of light, directly skyrocketing into the sky.

This scene fell into many eyes within Green Grass City.

The crowd only saw this beam of light instantly hit one of Angry Shark Pirate Gang's battleships; this battleship split in the middle, crashing into two segments falling from mid-air.

This phenomenon,

Nearly stunned every pirate of the Angry Shark Pirate Gang.

Witnessing the beam of light continuously closing in on other battleships, the interstellar pirates were all panicked.

This thing is deadly upon contact.

Moreover, there was no countermeasure, the protective layers of battleships seemed like paper before it, utterly absurd.
