When Lu Chen was woken up by Xiao Ai, he was in a daze and saw an ocean asteroid covered by glaciers.

It is none other than the Rogel star system, the third planet.

Rogel is so large that it is a blue-white, low-temperature star, so much so that the third planet is covered by glaciers.

"Captain, receive a continuous series of creature distress signals, from the third planet, heading to the back of the course, and there are traces of warp flight nearby."

"A biometric distress signal?"

"The faint signal emitted by the body of a living body shows the typical characteristics of a distress call."

Lu Chen subconsciously glanced at the scavenging panel, and the warning information he received before had not changed.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

He got up and went to the rear cabin.

Enter the Scavenger Armor.

In the cramped cockpit, Road Dust activates the armor's spirit pattern control system, which is connected to the spacecraft's high-definition images and radar.

"Fly over from outside the atmosphere, as slowly as possible, and simultaneously detect the target and the surrounding environment."

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, the spacecraft slowly circled from the thin atmosphere to the far side of the glacial planet.

The synchronized image of the spacecraft in front of Lu Chen, which has detected and mapped the spatial ripples left by the nearby warp speed.

In Lu Chen's opinion, this is no longer a ripple, but a splash of water from the spaceship falling into the water upside down.

It's like the diving style of the Philippines.

"It seems that the target ship should have been pursued, or had an accident while flying at warp speed."

The Dalyan soon came to the far side of the planet, a hundred miles above the wreckage of the target ship.

The far side of the planet was dark, but soon, the ship's cameras were able to capture high-definition images of the surface.

Lu Chen's no longer saw the shape of any spaceship, only the wreckage scattered everywhere, stretching for dozens of kilometers.

The white escape air sac is still intact on the outside, but it has obviously leaked and shrunk a lot.

Two humanoid heat sources are faintly visible inside.

The distress signal received by the Dalyan came from one of the heat sources.

The spacecraft quickly recorded the precise sound of the distress signal.

Croak~

It turned out to be a very penetrating frog call, with its own spiritual power, hoarse, extremely weak, but endless.

Lu Chen was a little confused.

Frogman?

Or is it a spirit frog raised by the beast master?

The three main functions of the waste picking panel are:

Scavenging hints to search for targets across star systems.

Warnings can only be given in star systems.

Identifying items requires close proximity to work, and it is difficult to identify accurate information beyond ten meters...... But within ten meters, the accuracy rate of identifying objects far exceeds that of divine sense.

"Continue to dive and check for signs of bad weather or native life in the vicinity."

"Yes, Captain!"

The Dalyan continued to dive until it was only a kilometer away from the target.

Neither the spaceship nor the road dust scavenging panel detected any anomalies.

Immediately, Dalyan entered an idle state and hovered steadily at a kilometer low altitude on the third planet.

"The target spacecraft has been broken into debris, at most pick up some valuable parts and materials, it can't be a C+-level waste picking target.

It seems that it is the frogman or the spirit frog that is valuable.

There is no warning on the scavenging panel, and I can barely cope with ordinary D-class risks. ”

With this in mind, Lu Chen, manipulating the scavenger armor, opened the hatch in the belly of the ship, and jumped down.

……

Uninhabited planets do not have artificial gravity fields, and scavenger armor is a little fluttery.

The cockpit can only be equipped with air conditioning, but cannot be equipped with a gravity stabilization device, and the road dust is used to being heavy and not very suitable for fluttering.

As soon as you land on the cold glacier, you can hear the sound of frogs chirping clearly.

Wail~

His mind continued to latch onto the airbag behind the wreckage of the largest ship in front of him.

The two-meter-high and wide airbag leaked to one meter six.

The surface of the white airbag has been yellowed, and even patches can be seen on it.

This is an old airbag that has been patched up for another three years, and the leakage is not to blame for the crash of the spaceship, but purely because of disrepair.

Looking at the wreckage of the surrounding spaceship, I vaguely saw inferior handmade sheet metal.

In Lu Chen's view, this kind of flying ship is suitable for daytime flight, and it is a matter of time before it crashes.

Walking only a few meters away from the airbag, the frog chirped and turned into a shivering hoarse female voice—

"No, don't come here!"

New detection information appeared on the road dust scavenging panel.

[Horned baby humanoid, female, two-star spirit master, about fourteen years old, infected with poison, with some atavistic characteristics. 】

[Horned snake humanoid, female, two-star spirit master, about fourteen years old, infected with poison, with some atavistic characteristics. 】

(Author's note: The women mentioned in the introduction who may change the universe in the future are not these two humanoid girls, but their companions, which are the core thread of this book, and they have not yet been picked up.) ）

"Humanoid girl?"

Speaking of humanoid girls, Lu Chen is not sleepy.

Humanoids are the offspring of the cross between humans and demons.

In the pioneering era when human cultivators walked out of their home planet and conquered the starry sky and all races step by step, some human beings, in order to continue the bloodline, or just for fun, cultivated high-level spirit beasts step by step into demons, and crossed them to produce genetically stable offspring, which was called humanoid.

Humanoids possess intelligence comparable to that of humans, and are highly similar in appearance, with only a few organs retaining the characteristics of beasts.

In the Pioneer Age, the planetary tribes or the Old Federation, humanoids were always just tools of humans, not even slaves.

They provide humans with sufficient labor, naidan or blood products, organ transplants, or to satisfy the desires of part of humans.

In the Age of Empires, humans enacted laws to protect humanoids, but they did not change the tragic fate of humanoids in the slightest.

Until a tribe of dragonmen descendants in a remote star field revolted, quickly ignited a spark in the galaxy, united all races and humans, formed a rebel army, and launched a protracted war of liberation with the empire.

Unfortunately, the Empire's cultivation technology was too powerful, and even though the humanoids were far superior to humans in terms of the number of races and the talent of the Imperial Spirit, they still failed to overthrow the Empire's rule.

Fortunately, due to the population problem of pure-blooded humans and the decline in control of machine transformers, the empire was unable to completely exterminate the rebels, so it had to allow the rebels to occupy the three-percent star field and form a federation of all races, called the new federation.

The empire was forced to unite the mechanical transformers and humanoids in the star field under its jurisdiction to form a second-level alliance and a third-level alliance respectively, formally granting the mechanical androids and humanoids human rights, so as to barely maintain the rule of the empire and not fall apart.

At the same time, the concentration of cosmic aura declined, chaos abounded in the galaxy, and the Pangu interstellar corridor that ran through the galaxy was discovered, and the interstellar pirates rose.

The Age of Empires came to an end.

A new era of the Three Kingdoms and chaos begins!

These are the worst times for the Galactic Natives.

However, for traversers and interstellar scavengers like Lu Chen, it was the best of times.

From the identification information of the waste picking panel, Road Dust found the source of the D-level risk -

Poisoned!

These are two humanoid girls who are stained with poison!

Lu Chen is no stranger to the word phantom poison.

The Evil Poison, or rather, the Abyssal Clan, is one of the four most vicious chaos in the new era!

The Abyss Phantom Clan, one says that it comes from the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, and the other says that the cultivators go mad and fall into evil.

The Abyssal Ghost Race is amorphous, blending terrifying, weird, and ominous, accompanied by spiritual attacks, wandering through spatial rifts, attacking and devouring all living beings.

Originating from the Abyssal Ghost Clan, the ghost poison is said to be a disembodied soul poison that usually spreads in places with a high concentration of aura, infecting obsessive geniuses or high-level spirit beasts.

Tempting them to go mad, they will become ghosts when they are born, and they will become ghosts when they die, and finally they will be completely reduced to ghosts.

Fortunately, the phantom poison only infects geniuses, or rather, only after a genius is infected, it is possible to go mad.

And Lu Chen, just an interstellar scavenger with a little talent as a spirit mechanic, is far from a genius, and after three years, he has never seen a ghost race, nor has he been infected with a ghost poison.

In fact, in the past three years, Lu Chen has also come into contact with some scavenging items contaminated with poison, but he has always been safe and sound, and he has not even received any warning.

Right now, it was the first time he had encountered a life form infected with phantom poison, and only then did he have a D-level warning.

Lu Chen feels that the risk may come from two situations:

First, the venom may require bodily or psychic communication to spread, such as two humanoid girls suddenly biting him, or tricking him into doing some unhygienic psychic fluid exchange.

Second, the two humanoid girls suddenly mutated and fell into ghosts to attack themselves, and the legend says that the ghosts are invincible at the same level, although they are one level higher, but it is too reluctant to fight one enemy and two.

Fortunately, the scavenging panel will give early warnings in advance, and you also have measures to deal with it.

At this moment, Lu Chen could roughly see the appearance of the two humanoid girls in the airbag by relying on his divine sense.

The facial features were not clear, and only the blood lines and burns on the face were faintly visible.

The two are not tall, both are under 1.6 meters, petite, but not thin, and have good nutrition.

A mouth with its entire jaw split, and like a horned frog, it looks like a gluttonous type that swallows everything.

The other has horns on his head, a toothless mouth, and a snake letter in his mouth, and seems to be the type who is good at repaying gratitude.

Lu Chen felt that as humanoids, their beast characteristics were too obvious, and they were indeed an omen of atavism.

"You—don't come here yet!"

"Is it Sister Lan's friend?"

The two human girls cried out in horror.

Obviously, in the eyes of the humanoid girl, the headless scavenger armor is still a little scary.

The sound that road dust makes through the armor is synthesized and has both mechanical and electronic properties, sounding very psychedelic.

"I'm a passing interstellar scavenger, I received your distress signal, come and have a look."

Two kinds of girls asked:

"Excuse me, are you Sister Alan's friend?"

"Or, Sister Ah Lan paid you to save us?"

Lu Chen always felt that these two girls were not very smart:

"I'm just here to repair the engine in this galaxy temporarily, and I haven't seen any Sister Alan, and I don't know her."

A cry was heard from inside the airbag.

"Woo woo, Sister Alan, she's ...... In order to cover our escape, she fought with the Imperial army. ”

"Don't worry, Xiao Xian, Sister Ah Lan won't die, at most she will be caught by the Imperial Army, and she will soon escape from prison as before, you forgot, she said that she would conquer the universe!"

Lu Chen was stunned, what is the second girl?

If the Imperial Army looks at you squarely, I will lose.

Wait a minute...... Could it be that there is a problem with Alan's identity?

"Sister Ah Lan is also humanoid?"

Lu Chen asked the two tentatively.

Suddenly, the tone of the two girls became very vigilant.

"You're from the Empire?"

"Could it be...... You're coming to get us? ”

Lu Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"I'm just an interstellar scavenger who has no fixed place, and I don't belong to either the Empire, the Federation, or the Star Thieves, I was worried that I would be implicated in saving you, so I asked about Sister Lan's identity, if you don't welcome it, I'll leave immediately."

When the two girls heard this, they immediately became honest.

"Don't, welcome, you're welcome!"

"But we're poisoned, do you have any precautions?"

Lu Chen was stunned, you two are quite honest.

The frogman girl added:

"I'm afraid you'll be infected, turn into a ghost, and eat us."

Lu Chen's tone was suffocated.

No matter how you look at it, these two girls are not very smart.

"It's okay, I'll prepare water, food, and oxygen for you, then close the airbags, pack them up and take them out of here.

However, saving people is risky, I need to know your exact origins, and if you lie, I will leave immediately. ”

The frogman girl hurriedly said:

"Don't lie, don't lie, human-like intelligence doesn't allow us to lie."

In Lu Chen's opinion, humanoid intelligence is indeed slightly inferior to humans, but almost on the same level, there is no obvious gap.

It's just that humanoids are discriminated against, and they are often complained about being stupid.

But there were two humanoid girls in front of him...... It's really stupid.

A stupidity rarely seen in the universe!

Frogman girls are especially stupid.

"My name is Chunyu, and I'm a frog girl.

She is my best friend, Xia Xian, and she is a snake girl.

We are both two-star Soul Masters from the New Federation, living in the El System near the Pangea Corridor.

We've grown up together, we've been infected with the poison together, and we've been seeking medical treatment in the Federation Field.

Later, I heard that the big star thief, one of the three thousand star thieves in the Pangu Star Thieves List, Mrs. August, was an expert in curing ghosts and poisons, so I thought about going to sea to find her.

Recently, we learned that Mrs. August had washed her hands of money and was currently opening a clinic on the White Dew's interstellar ship.

It just so happened that three days ago, Sister Ah Lan saw that the Nalga Royal Beast Regiment had appeared on the latest Pangu Star Thief List, and she was ready to move, wanting to go to sea to conquer the universe.

Xiao Xian and I happened to catch a hitchhike to the White Dew to find Madame August. ”

Lu Chen was sure that these two humanoid girls had good talents and could be infected by phantom poison.

But no matter how they look at it, they are just small people, so they won't be pursued by the imperial warships, and the problem may lie with Sister Alan.

"Your assembled spaceship is really indescribable, and you want to conquer the universe at this level, Sister Lan is not a fool?"

"Don't let you say that, Sister Lan!

While we can't tell you her real name and race, she is a genius of geniuses and is sure to change the entire universe. ”

"So, what has Sister Lan changed that made you believe in her?"

The two girls thought about it very seriously.

"Set fire to the mountain."

"Burn down the company camp."

"Barbecue expert."

"And most importantly, Sister Ah Lan used flames to help us suppress the phantom poison, otherwise with our talent, we would have turned into phantom monsters a long time ago."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it sounded like this Sister A Lan was just a fire spirit master with a little medical skills, a typical rebellious girl, and she was not a big person who hid her identity.

"Well, Sister Ah Lan is an amazing person."

The two girls also comforted themselves:

"Well, Sister Ah Lan will definitely be safe.

Just like every time she escaped from prison in the past, we were kind enough to save her, but instead we became a drag on her, and as a result, she had to save us in turn, so she was repeatedly injured, so we won't save her! ”

"That's right, that's it!"

Lu Chen bowed his head slightly and said:

"Sister Lan's story ends here, I won't save people for free because of this, your spaceship has fallen into slag, and this garbage is not worth a few dollars."

The frogman girl hurriedly said:

"It doesn't matter, in order to go to Bailu, the two of us scraped together more than 300 spirit stones for capital verification and diagnosis and treatment.

Now, Sister Ah Lan is gone, as long as you take us to the Bailu, the hundred spirit stones prepared for her will be yours.

If you see Sister A Lan in the future, she will definitely give you a better reward and take you to eat the most delicious barbecue in the universe. ”

One hundred spirit stones!

Lu Chen's eyes opened when he saw Qian, and hurriedly asked:

"Where's your money?"

"Stupid, go to the White Dew, of course it's in the Xingzhou Bank first, wait a minute, I'll show you the balance."

The snake woman immediately opened the old mechanical watch, and after one operation, the amount of the bank deposit was revealed.

However, the watch was too old to have a projection function, so he had to reach out and poke out the airbag and lean towards the scavenger armor.

"Can you see it?"

Lu Chen subconsciously retreated and only took a photo.

It is indeed the deposit balance interface of Xingzhou Bank.

The account name "Xia Xian" is displayed, a registered soul master from the new federation, with a clear identity account number, and the balance is:

350 Spirit Stones!

More than 5,000 pieces of Imperial Kinnar!

And 20,000 coins of the new Federation!

Lu Chen should have thought that the two girls could survive to this day with such IQs, and they must be little rich women with good family backgrounds.

Only then did he turn off the synthesized sound of the armor, and said frankly in his own voice:

"My name is Lu Chen, and I always take pleasure in saving people."
