The next part of the journey smoothly made Luke a little different, not only did he not encounter a single star thief along the way, but even the planets that passed by did not charge any passing fees.

Even some patrols would happily send a message to his ship asking for a friendly hello when they saw him.

What's going on? This abnormal situation made Luke a little uneasy, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he always felt like something big was going to happen next.

However, it turns out that Luke's intuition does not seem to be able to withstand a woman's sixth sense, and on the next journey, nothing happened at all, even going to several mining planets to investigate the price of metal materials, it was all smooth sailing, nothing went wrong, and Luke was so comfortable that he had to call out.

This is decent, it's good that the Yaka people's stall is so big, and the security conditions are much better than the place at the junction of the Federation.

Luke was moving forward very comfortably here, but he didn't know that his name had already spread through the gossip from all walks of life, saying that there was a bounty hunter who drove an ordinary small spaceship, specializing in those large star thief groups, and even large warships could not stop people.

Those small star thieves heard the news, and they could even hide from some small spaceships, for fear that they would accidentally crash into Luke's arms.

Luke didn't know about this kind of thing, and he didn't want to know, he was now leisurely looking at a price list in his hand, which was obtained from those mining planets he had been to along the way, and under normal circumstances, there would not be much change.

Well, it's just that in general, if something goes wrong, there will still be some changes in the price.

Well, anyway, Luke is quite satisfied, because after traveling several planets, the prices he learned seem to be within the range that Luke can accept.

As long as you get the core materials, and then do a few more votes, ah, it's not to rob, or so to speak, it's just those star thieves. And if it is those relatively large star thief groups, then the price will be enough, otherwise, the bounty of a small star thief group alone will not be enough to cover the cost of this trip.

However, just when Luke thought that it would go smoothly, he suddenly found that the navigation data on the spaceship seemed to be gone, and the location they were in now had reached the border of the empire?

The previous data is naturally there, what is not there is only the star map data of the direction he is going, and the territory of the Yaka Empire really hasn't expanded to this position, so it's going to be a headache, and I thought that the location of the core materials would be within the occupation of the Yaka people.

But this also has an advantage, at least there is no need to worry about someone competing with him for that kind of core material, although it is useless for most people to get that kind of substance, but it is not excluded that some people will want to use that material to do experiments and other things.

As soon as possible, it's been so long since I said it, I thought it wouldn't take long to get the core materials, but it's been almost half a year now?

The spaceship still uses the Yaka method of timekeeping, and Luke doesn't remember how long it has been, after all, it is easy to lose the sense of time when traveling in space for a long time.

There are colorful starry skies all around, but as long as you are not a person who is very interested in these things, you don't have a high degree of recognition for these star clusters and nebulae, especially if you have to see several of them a day.

"Admiral, there is a communication contact!" Just as Luke was distracted, the tide who was now in charge of piloting the ship turned back to Luke and shouted.

Suddenly Luke was a little strange, now their position is very close to the border line of the Yaka, and not far from that, they are about to fly out of the actual occupied area of the Yaka, how can there be any contact at this time? Could it be those emperors stationed on the border?

With that in mind, Luke let the tide pick up the communication.

Sure enough, what appeared in front of him was a guy wearing an emperor's ** military uniform, but this guy's level seems to be quite high, right? It's not that Luke recognizes the rank of Emperor **, he just simply thinks that this guy still has the marks on his collar and shoulders, which obviously looks several times more gorgeous than the previous two guys, Pease and Doze.

"Welcome, Mr. Luke." The translator faithfully translated the words spoken by the other party, in fact, after listening to the Yaka language for so long, Luke felt like he was about to learn it, but he didn't have the heart to learn the language of the Yaka people, just have a translator.

"Oh? Do you know me? The other party called out his name directly, which surprised him a little.

"Of course, the famous bounty hunter Luke, your name has been spread very miraculously in the emperor's military department!" The other party was obviously in a good mood after seeing Luke, and said while laughing.

Well? When did I become a 'big name'? This guy can't be kidding me, is he? Luke naturally doesn't know anything about the things that he has become famous among some people, and all he cares about is the price of those metal materials along the way, when has he ever paid attention to whether he has become famous all over the world?

"Okay, what's the matter with me?" If you're famous, you'll be famous, Luke now also feels the convenience of being a bounty hunter, generally on some planets, as long as he mentions that he is a bounty hunter, others will basically give him a little face, which is why he hasn't been found fault with just asking about it all the way.

And even if he is famous, Luke doesn't believe that the other party will be bored to run to greet a guy who can't match them, and come up with a sycophant, which is definitely the rhythm of things.

"Ahem." It seemed that he was choked by Luke's directness, the other party coughed lightly, and said, "Let me introduce myself first, I am the commander of the Seventh Army Corps of the Emperor ** stationed on the border, Sola Dalin, this time I am looking for Mr. Luke, in fact, I have something to ask for." ”

"Huh? Let's be honest, I'll help if I can, but I'm sorry if I don't drop by. Shrugging his shoulders, in Luke's heart, the most important thing is undoubtedly to find the core materials, for other things, he can only put them on both sides first, of course, if the road is smooth and smooth, he still doesn't mind making some extra money.

"Okay, then forgive me for being rude, Mr. Luke, according to the current direction of flight, it should be going to a place outside the empire, right?" Soradalin's face straightened, and he said solemnly.

"yes, does that have anything to do with what you're asking me for?"

"Actually, this is the case, recently, on this side of the border, there is a group of star thieves composed of Horin people, which poses a serious threat to our border security, and it is not so much a star bandit, but an armed team formed by the Horin people, trying to distract us by attacking some planets on our border, so that their army can attack in a big way......"

"Stop, if that's the case, aren't those guys the regular army of the Horlins? You don't want us to go against those guys, do you? As soon as his hand was raised, he stopped this guy's words, and Luke knew that there was nothing good to do, so it was no wonder that he laughed and patted his ass as soon as he came up.

"Ahem, you can't say that, Your Excellency, you must know that we will pay you, a reward that is enough to satisfy you." Hearing Luke's intentional refusal, Soladarin was also a little embarrassed and had to move the last killer feature out.

"Oh? What remuneration? Are you so sure I'll be satisfied? I'm not so easily satisfied. Luke raised his eyebrows and said, this guy is not afraid to say big things and flash his tongue.

"According to our intelligence, you have been inquiring about the prices of various metal resources on the mining planets along the way for some time, I guess you definitely need a large number of metal resources, if you can help us this time, we will provide you with enough metal materials."

"Enough?" Luke really wanted to laugh, the materials needed for a traversal device are not so little to be described at all, and the materials he got from the Vigruland star before can only complete three percent of the entire traversal device when it is fully calculated.

"Of course, no matter how many." Soladalin naturally didn't know how huge Luke's demand for these metal materials was, in his mind, Luke was just a bounty hunter, and if he collected materials, there were only two possibilities, one was to build a large warship of his own, and the other was to fund the construction of a stargate to his hometown.

I have to say that Soratalin actually guessed half right, Luke did want to build a gate to his hometown, but this thing is not a stargate for long-distance interstellar travel, but a crossing device that can directly cross the plane.

Hearing Soratalin's affirmation, even Luke was a little happy in his heart at this time, if he could ask the emperor ** to provide the materials, it would be perfect, and he didn't have to transport them himself, just let those guys transport the materials to the place he said.

It saves time and effort, and if the deal is really done, it will definitely be very useful for him to help build the crossing device in the future. So Luke's heart was moved, and after thinking about it for a while, he raised his head and asked the other party.

"Yes, I'll take this list, let's talk about those Huolin people, as well as the area where those guys are infested, and the level of the opponent's combat effectiveness, if you can, it's best to provide me with a star map of the opponent's star field." Knuckles tapped on the seat, and Luke made his request.
