…
When the consolidation process prompted by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" reached 95 percent, Chen Fei began reaping rewards, but he had not anticipated the Dog System suddenly popping up to steal the show—even marking the Magic Array Inscription units together.
No matter the size or complexity of the Magic Array, the inscription units start from 1 without even a decimal point; who knows if they were rounded up or down, that's just typical of the Dog System's style.
Upon inspecting the "Magical Array Evolution Database" again, there were indeed a dozen more Magic Arrays, and the number was still increasing. Once they appeared there, it meant that Chen Fei could now use these Magic Arrays.
His thoughts were correct. As artificial intelligences, what "Cybertrom" could not achieve, "Adam" had accomplished.
AIs are not all the same, besides creativity, this is a unique innate talent possessed only by the true Intelligent Species.
The barbecue lasted more than three hours. Chen Fei and Minante's uncle, Legion Commander Befas of the "Radiant Tiger," also talked for over three hours and reluctantly concluded the gathering.
Minante, who grilled and ate alone like a neglected and aggrieved little wife, grumbled and rolled his eyes at himself.
The Pure Light Sparrow, now plump, flew back early to Chen Fei's shoulder, curled its small body into a ball, its head tucked under its wing, sleeping soundly.
Even the slight shake from movement didn't wake it; it only occasionally chirped a few times as if talking in its sleep.

Chen Fei's Mobile Base Vehicle was mostly parked near the Dimensional Gate. His ongoing contract allowed him to freeload meals, drinks, and accommodations; life was rather comfortable.
After the "Seed Nest" of the Parasitic Species was annihilated, various clues disappeared like a kite with its string cut. No matter how hard the local "Hundred-Legs Gang" tried to probe, they could not find another Parasitic Host.
It seemed as if Chen Fei had single-handedly wiped out every arrangement and covert maneuver of the Parasitic Species in the entire area around Nandu City. In reality, even he himself didn't believe such a possibility.
The Parasitic Species, able to contend with Cangqiong Star for tens of thousands of years, wouldn't be so easily dealt with. The earlier victories were likely due to preemptive strikes. Once the Parasitic Species caught on, the hunting game would increase significantly in difficulty.
Chen Fei, running back and forth between the Dimensional Gate Management Substation and the "Radiant Tiger" Corps, was essentially placing himself within the reach of both, seeking a degree of protection.
After all, the rescue team from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Slan Dynasty couldn't possibly stay on Zilu Continent for long, and the risk was too great. It was feasible to make a move once or twice, but often walking by the river, one inevitably gets wet shoes. If the Parasitic Species were to make a deadly move, even a rescue might not arrive in time.
Chen Fei couldn't afford to gamble his luck on someone else's rescue. Realizing this too late, he started to adopt a group combat model, which also turned out to be an accidental solution.
Three days after the barbecue gathering with Minante and his uncle, Legion Commander Befas, individuals arranged by Princess Lin Ziyu arrived at the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in the Suburbs of Nandu City with two Alchemical Artifacts, "Soul Guarding Seal" and "Godslaying Spear," destined for Zilu Continent.
The rebels, who failed to capture the Nandu City Ground Portal Management Substation, ultimately left such a loophole, but it would not affect the warfare on Zilu Continent significantly. After all, the sovereignty of Blue Star on the other side of the Dimensional Gate would not allow Slan Dynasty's army to enter Blue Star freely.
Thus, the arrivals' journey was smooth, unaffected by Blue Star's declaration of war against Cangqiong Star. After all, Cangqiong Star's cooperation in allowing Blue Star personnel to pass during wartime negotiations had earned diplomatic favors, reciprocating good with good; even in conflict, they would not skimp when conveniences were extended.
"Mr. Chen Fei, on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I am responsible for this transport mission. Here is my business card."
The visitor was a genteel man wearing glasses, dressed neatly and with a touch of class, his hair meticulously combed, looking every bit the scholar.
Chen Fei took the business card and glanced at it.
Vulture Guild, Philip, Contact Number: 02-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx. Business Scope: Collect money, solve problems for others. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Philip?"
"Yes, that's me!"
The man pulled out a pendant from his collar.
Boom!
A two-meter-long metal box appeared on the ground between them.
"Please inspect the items now!"
Philip, who was in charge of this mission, made a welcoming gesture.
The pendant hanging on his neck was a Space System Alchemy Storage Device.
Upon opening the metal box, two items were laid inside: an ornament and a spear prepared by Princess Lin Ziyu for Chen Fei.
He compared the photograph, and indeed it was the "Soul Guarding Seal" and "Godslaying Spear" -- two alchemical artifacts.
Picking up the "Soul Guarding Seal," he pressed it against his forehead and heard a light click. The alchemical artifact automatically clasped around most of Chen Fei's head. A few crystals embedded in it briefly glowed, then returned to normal.
Only when subjected to a psychic attack would this Space System Alchemy Storage Device automatically react.
As the transporter, Philip from the "Vulture Guild" spoke to Chen Fei, who was picking up the "Godslaying Spear," "Would you like to test its effectiveness?"
The "Vulture Guild" would never accept an unclear commission; it was clear he knew exactly what he was transporting, and the service was quite thorough.
Besides being a transporter, Philip was also a Psychic Series Spellcaster.
"Let's give it a try!"
Chen Fei immediately took off the "Soul Guarding Seal" and nodded to Philip.
Whether it was effective, a Psychic Series Spell or a Psi Skill would tell.
"I assure you there will be no side effects!"
Philip immediately performed a series of gestures to invoke the spell, muttering under his breath as he pointed at Chen Fei.
There was no visible reaction, but Chen Fei still felt a sudden tightness on his scalp, a very familiar sensation -- probably the most common attacking method of the Psychic Series, a mental impact.
If it weren't for his high resistance to spiritual power, an ordinary person would have staggered backward several steps, clutching their head and gasping as if they had been hit with a solid blow.
"Do it again!"
Chen Fei put the head ornament alchemical artifact back on, once again with a light click, securely fastened and still comfortable, ensuring it wouldn't slide or loosen even during intense movements.
Her Royal Highness the Princess had carefully selected this alchemical artifact for him.
Once Philip finished casting the spell, a breeze wafted by, yet Chen Fei felt nothing, not even the tightening of his scalp.
"Next is the 'Godslaying Spear.' We'll need a live creature."
Philip looked around, hoping to find something to test the "Godslaying Spear" on.
Being stabbed by it meant instant death regardless of the creature's size.
"Never mind, it should work!"
Chen Fei examined the spear in his hands -- after all, it was commissioned by Her Royal Highness and it wasn't likely there to be any deceit or unworthiness involved.
The "Godslaying Spear" was about two meters long, with a blade a meter long and double-edged. Followed by one large and five small varicolored crystals, the spear shaft, easy to grip with one hand and not metallic, was lightweight and fit well in the hand. This alchemical artifact, incorporating Crystal Energy Technology, could unleash a Mental Storm inside a creature the moment it pierced it, instantly destroying its consciousness and turning it into a walking corpse, making it perfect for dealing with Parasitic Species.
"If you have any issues, you can contact me!"
Philip then took out a business card and waved it in front of Chen Fei, clearly confident in the quality and service of his transportation.
Suddenly, Chen Fei thought of something and asked, "Excuse me, do you have a rate card?"
The "Vulture Guild's" slogan was to take money to alleviate troubles; he wasn't sure if they had a way with Parasitic Species. He didn't have much money, but the tycoon Louis Landon surely could spare the Star Yuan. Was it really a problem if it could be solved with money?
"Of course, I'll send it to you right away!"
Seeing a potential new client, Philip immediately beamed, his tone becoming even more enthusiastic.
"I'll take a look first. If I need anything, I'll contact you. You have been very helpful this time.
Chen Fei planned to first get to know this "Vulture Guild"; once he understood it, he would propose it to Mr. Randon.
"I am at your service anytime you need."
After completing the handover, Philip bowed slightly and tuned back toward the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation, retracing his original route.
No sooner had he left than a person from the Louis Industrial Company also arrived promptly behind him.
It was the same person who had previously brought a vast amount of materials to Chen Fei. Without much ado, he set down a large case and a list, then briskly turned and left.
This time, Louis Industries had prepared 125 high-capacity Crystalline Blocks for Chen Fei, each about the size of a basketball, sufficient to drive a mid-sized Sky Patrol Ship. These were standard to those used in the core Crystalline Blocks of the Main Force Lightwing Ships of Cangqiong Star.
The collective combat model Chen Fei was pondering had its energy foundation completed first.
