Why is my job panel in an anime style?

Chapter 104 Aftermath and Fleeing with Buckets

In the cold, desolate expanse of space, a ship transformed from an unknown, gigantic creature drifts among the stars.

Inside the main cabin of the ship, a young man with gray hair looked at the image displayed in a crystal-clear eyeball in front of him and couldn't help but sigh:

"It failed. As expected, the Zerg's swarm consciousness is still a bit troublesome, especially since it's linked to that Zerg Queen."

The young man casually picked up an unidentified liquid from the side, took a sip to relieve his fatigue, and said, "Tsk, what a hassle."

"But at least we've collected some experimental data, so all my hard work wasn't in vain."

As he spoke, he glanced at the young man in the picture and couldn't help but scratch his messy hair: "Interesting little dragon cub, I wonder where he came from."

"Unfortunately, dragons are not my area of ​​research, so I'll let you off this time."

After speaking, the young man began operating the bio-panel on his right.

As he operated the device, he muttered to himself, "That Zerg Queen is probably heading this way. It's a pity it's a level seven monster, otherwise I really wanted to capture one and study it."

"As for now."

"Let the Federation handle this."

A moment later, accompanied by a strange energy fluctuation, the sizable biological vessel vanished without a trace, leaving only a deathly silence behind.

Ruins of Pioneer City No. 66.

Li Ang's face darkened as he looked at the information that popped up on the career panel.

'Brando is dead, yet he's still causing me trouble.'

He remembered that Luke had previously said that the Zerg Queen wandering in this star system was a level seven being, meaning that even if everyone on colony 9527 were tied together, they still wouldn't be able to defeat her.

Fortunately, there should still be some time before he arrives here, enough time for Li Ang to escape. In other words, he is now a formal citizen of the Federation. If he were still an unregistered citizen like before, he wouldn't be able to escape.

'What a waste of my newly built alchemy workshop.'

Since he's going to run away, he definitely can't take this alchemy workshop with him; he hasn't even used it much yet.
Just as Li Ang was feeling sorry for his money, Marcus and the other two arrived at his side.

Danica looked at the young man who seemed to be in a daze and asked with some concern, "Li Ang, are you alright?"

"Oh? I'm fine."

Li Ang was pulled back to his senses and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Seeing his reaction, the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, when electromagnetic railguns first appeared, almost everyone thought the person in front of them was already dead.

Who would have thought that they would be completely unharmed, and it seems they didn't even pay any price?

'That's an amazing ability!'

The longer Marcus and his two companions spent together, the more they felt that Li Ang was shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to see him clearly.

It's just a connection to his race.
Don't ask, the answer is a dragon!
At this moment, the surrounding swarm of insects had fallen into a state of stagnation due to the death of the Overmind, remaining motionless in place.

However, this is also due to Zagagu Brando's special circumstances. Normally, after a Zerg Overmind dies, the Zerg swarm will immediately elect a new Overmind.

"Speaking of which, now that Brando is dead, his shielding is most likely ineffective. When will the censorship bureau's support arrive?"

Although the current situation no longer required support, Li Ang still asked a question.

Just as Morty was about to answer, a deafening sonic boom suddenly came from afar.

The loud commotion made the four of them look up, and then they saw a streak of light, darker than the night, flying toward their location.

The expected earth-shaking scene did not occur; the streak of light remained steadily suspended in mid-air.

Marcus had already realized who the newcomer was and quickly called out, "Governor Obi-Wan Kenobi."

Where is Luke?

As the light faded, a middle-aged man in a black uniform with a stern face was revealed.

"Father."

Just then, a somewhat timid voice suddenly came from behind the four of them.

Li Ang turned his head and saw Luke poking his head out of the basement, looking fearfully at the middle-aged man in mid-air.

It was obvious that the other party was Obi-Wan Wade, the governor of colony 9527.

Upon seeing that his son was unharmed, the planetary governor's furrowed brows relaxed slightly: "Well done."

"?"

Luke emerged from the basement, looking bewildered, not understanding why his father had suddenly praised him.

Li Ang then realized that this governor was most likely someone Luke had summoned.

At this moment, Obi-Wan landed slowly in front of the group and said to Marcus, "Marcus, tell me what just happened."

"Yes."

The police chief, whose name was called, quickly responded and then began to recount what had just happened.

The more he listened, the more his brows furrowed, until finally he looked at Li Ang and said, "You're Li Ang? I've heard Luke mention you."

"Father."

Luke, who was standing behind Li Ang, was about to say something when he was stopped by Obi-Wan's gaze.

"Thank you for taking care of my good-for-nothing son."

Upon hearing this, Luke was taken aback; he never expected his father to say such a thing.

Obi-Wan continued, "As for this matter..."

"I am indebted to you."

After Marcus's explanation, he understood that the young man in front of him had put in a lot of effort in the fight just now; otherwise, it wouldn't have ended so quickly.

Obi-Wan's eyes flickered as he recalled the information Luke had given him.

'Dragons?'

Obi-Wan secretly began to speculate about Leon's background, after all, his performance was really too exaggerated.

At the very least, this planetary governor felt that he wouldn't have been able to do these things when he was at the second level.

Just then, several whooshing sounds came from above the clouds, and then several spaceships the size of houses appeared in everyone's sight.

It was the support of the censorship bureau.

Without Brando's cover, they naturally noticed something was wrong and immediately dispatched reinforcements.

However, when they saw the current state of Pioneer City No. 66, they were stunned.

The members of the inspection bureau never expected such a tragic scene on the planet, but fortunately their superiors seemed to be safe and sound.

Unaware of what his subordinates were thinking, Morty said, "Let's go back to the mothership tonight and rest. Let them clean up the battlefield."

After such a long period of intense fighting, even an iron man would be exhausted.

Li Ang is doing alright; he hasn't reached the point of desperation, but it would be a lie to say he's not tired.

Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, he nodded in agreement, as he was also somewhat curious about what the inspection bureau's flagship looked like.

Having been here for so long, Li Ang has only ever seen the bio-ships of the Io Group.

Soon, the group boarded a transport ship and returned to the mothership.

To Li Ang's slight disappointment, the inspection bureau's flagship was just an ordinary spaceship, nothing special at all. But then again, if the inspection mission was to be conducted covertly, it couldn't be done in a high-profile manner.

Although it was quite ordinary, this was still the first time in all of Li Ang's life that he had spent the night on a starship.

'That's great! I wonder if I'll be able to create my own vehicle using alchemy someday.'

With these thoughts in mind, Li Ang drifted into a deep sleep.

By the time the starlight returned to the earth, most of the insects in the ruins of Pioneer City 66 had been cleared away.

On the bridge of the review bureau's mothership, Morty asked Leon, "What are your plans next? With your abilities, you're more than qualified to apply to be the lord of a decent colony's pioneering city."

"Forget it."

Leon rejected Morty's offer.

If he were a native of this world, he might do as Morty suggested.

However, due to his [Traveler] talent, he would occasionally travel to other worlds, making him unsuitable as the lord of the pioneering city.

After all, even Brando would use his mechanical servants to handle affairs on a daily basis.

Morty wasn't surprised by Leon's refusal; he simply shook his head slightly: "Indeed, with your alchemy skills, you can make money anywhere."

Upon hearing the words "alchemy," Li Ang seemed to remember something and turned to Luke beside him, asking, "Can the Central City conduct assessments for second-tier artisans?"

Upon hearing this, Luke was taken aback: "No, the closest planet to us that can conduct the second-tier craftsman assessment is Morabis."

"That's it"

Li Ang wasn't disappointed, after all, he was planning to run away anyway, so it didn't matter where he went.

Moreover, having been in this world for so long, he wanted to see the different landscapes of different planets, since colony planet 9527 was really too barren.

After overhearing Li Ang and Luke's conversation, Morty said, "We'll be passing by there on our way back, and we can give you a ride."

"Isn't this troublesome?"

Li Ang was somewhat surprised.

Morty waved his hand: "It's nothing."

He thought to himself that there were plenty of cases where the censorship bureau misused public ships for private purposes, so what was the big deal about him bringing just one person along, especially since this person had recently done a great job?

At this moment, Danica spoke up and asked, "I also need to go to Morabis. Can you take me with you?"

Morty did not refuse.

Bringing one is the same as bringing two; there's no difference.

After deciding where to go, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief. However, considering that Luke had helped him a lot, he decided to give the silly boy a hint: "Luke, you said before that the swarms of insects in this star field were all released by that seventh-level insect queen. What is it trying to do?"

"The Queen Mother will reclaim the fully developed Zerg swarms from every planet."

Luke instinctively blurted out the answer he already knew, but before he could finish speaking, his expression froze.

"No, I have to inform my father."

Seeing Luke frantically take out the communication device, Li Ang knew he had successfully indicated the connection.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is not currently on the Bureau of Investigation's flagship. With such a major incident occurring, he naturally has his own matters to attend to.

However, none of this has much to do with Li Ang anymore.

Run!
Eight days later, on Morabis.

The inspection bureau's flagship slowly docked in the starport.

On the bridge, Morty said to the three people in front of him, "I'll take you this far."

As for why there were three people...
Because Luke followed along too.

However, he said that his father sent him out to relax.

Li Ang's guess was that Governor Obi-Wan wanted to leave an insurance policy for his bloodline.

After exchanging contact information with Morty, Li Ang and his two companions said goodbye and then took the space elevator into the planet's interior.

As he broke through the clouds, a landscape completely different from that of Colony Star 9527 immediately came into view.

The massive steel city is nestled in the mountains, while the surrounding area is covered with extremely dense vegetation.

Every now and then, species that Li Ang had never seen before would fly by in the sky.

At this moment, Luke, who was standing next to him, whispered, "This planet is special to produce a fruit called Momo fruit, and it also has a very unique fjord landscape, which is why it has become a transportation hub."

"Oh, by the way, don't be surprised if you see people in a vegetative state on the street; they are the native races of this planet."

It was obvious that this young master had been here before.

When Li Ang heard the words "vegetative state patient," his first thought was Hashirama Senju.
However, once he reached the ground, he understood what Luke meant by a "vegetative state."

Looking at the plants with their roots embedded in flowerpots that kept passing by, Li Ang fell silent for a moment.

As for why the flowerpot can be moved...
Because an electric wheelchair was installed underneath.

"The governor of Morabis is Lord Dono, a tree that has lived for over three thousand years."

As he spoke, Luke pointed to a towering tree in the distant mountains, its size even larger than the mountains around him.

Just as Li Ang was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that his calf was a little itchy.

He looked down and saw a plant gently whipping itself with its branches, while the LCD screen on the flowerpot at its base displayed the Common Language of the Federal Government.

[A hotel stay costs only 100 Star Coins per night.]

?

The scene before him made Li Ang think he had just come out of a train station.

After this brief interlude, Danica said, "I need to change my status to that of a full citizen first. Just contact me if you need anything."

"Okay, bye."

Li Ang did not try to persuade him to stay. With less than a day left before he embarked on his new journey, he needed to prepare quickly.

After Danica left, Luke also left.

He said he would first visit his friend and, while he was at it, help Li Ang promote his alchemy equipment.

After parting ways with the two, Li Ang immediately rented a place to stay, and just to be on the safe side, he rented it for three months.

However, for the same price, the rental area is almost ten times smaller than that of No. 66 Kaituo City.

After settling matters concerning his accommodation, Li Ang used the remaining money to purchase some common metals.

After doing all that, he only had a pitiful five hundred Star Coins left.

However, upon seeing the space rings piled up to the brim, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Incidentally, Li Ang took Luke's ten-cubic-meter spatial ring.

'This is the first time we've fought such a well-funded battle.'

With that thought in mind, Li Ang placed his hand on Odin and then activated the [Traveler] talent.

With a flash of white light, Li Ang and Odin vanished without a trace.

Our wish is for world peace.
