The engines caught fire, the alarms blared, and the ship shook like a drunken giant.

Zhang Cheng grabbed the handrail of the porthole, his face uglier than the flames from the engine.

"It's true that one wave rises after another! Is this broken boat made of paper?"

The Star Knight punched the console, "Oh my god! We finally beat the pirates away, and now you want to play trapeze?" He turned to look at the Blue Star merchant who was shivering in the corner, "Hey, profiteer! The quality of your precious spaceship is not good, is it a refurbished second-hand one?"

The Blue Star merchant turned pale and stammered in defense: "This... This is an accident! An accident! Who knew those pirates had such strong firepower!"

"Accident?" The Messenger of Light sneered, "I think you are deliberately cutting corners to make some dirty money!"

The spacecraft's engine eventually stalled, and like a bird with broken wings, it slid crookedly towards an unknown planet.

Although the forced landing was thrilling, at least we did not become space junk.

Before the survivors had time to rejoice, they discovered a more serious problem before them: repairing the spacecraft required a large amount of resources, and their reserves had been almost consumed in the previous battle.

"Now we have no money to repair the ship and we're all going to become space refugees!" The interstellar knight slumped on the ground, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

The Blue Star merchant's eyes rolled around, and he rubbed his hands and said, "Everyone, don't panic! I still have some resources here that can be used as an emergency measure." He paused deliberately, observing everyone's reactions, "Of course, the price will have to be adjusted a little bit..."

"Adjust?" The Nebula Sage pushed up his glasses and said in a cold tone, "The low-quality energy blocks you provided before were already priced sky-high. Do you want to take advantage of the situation now?"

"Hey, you can't say that!" The Blue Star businessman immediately retorted, "This is a special period, and things are precious because they are scarce! I am also taking a risk..."

The two of them exchanged sharp words, arguing about the resource value assessment from interstellar universal currency to rare minerals in the universe, and from the purity of minerals to the difficulty of mining.

Zhang Cheng rubbed his temples and felt like his head was about to explode.

At this moment, the hatch of the spacecraft suddenly opened, and a strange voice was heard: "It seems that I came at the right time..."

The hatch opened, and a burly man in a Starfleet uniform walked in, followed by a thin figure holding a thick ancient book in his hands, as if he was an old scholar who had walked out of some ancient ruins.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the captain of the starship Dawnbreak. You can just call me Old Po." The burly man grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. "This is the Protoss scholar, Professor Julius, one of the most knowledgeable minds in the universe."

Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows. "Lao Po? Your name is really... very common. What are you doing here?"

Lao Po laughed, "Of course I'm here to help! Professor Julius knows about a mysterious planet. It is said that there are not only all kinds of resources needed to repair the spacecraft, but also legendary ancient treasures!"

When the Blue Star merchant heard the word "treasure", his eyes lit up immediately and he rubbed his hands and moved closer, "Treasure? Is it true or not? What kind of treasures are there? Diamonds? Gold? Or cosmic stones?"

Professor Julius pushed his glasses up and said in a prim tone, "I am not interested in those vulgar things. What I pursue is the truth of the universe and the mystery of the stars."

"Come on, Old Yu, stop pretending." Old Po put his arm around Professor Julius' shoulders. "If I hadn't promised to take him to find a singing stone, he wouldn't have come to this damn place."

The Nebula Sage's eyes lit up. "Singing stones? Could it be the legendary voice of the stars?"

"That's right! It seems you have heard of it too." Lao Po snapped his fingers.

After discussion, everyone decided to go to this mysterious planet.

Although the Blue Star merchant felt sorry for his spaceship, he could not resist the temptation of treasure.

However, the journey to the mysterious planet was not smooth.

Not long after they left, they encountered a sudden cosmic storm.

The spacecraft shook violently in the storm, like a fallen leaf drifting in a strong wind.

Alarms blared and many devices malfunctioned.

"Oh my god! What kind of horrible weather is this!" The interstellar knight grabbed the handrail tightly, feeling like his internal organs were about to be thrown out.

"Hold on! Everyone, hold on!" Lao Po shouted loudly, his voice almost drowned out by the howling of the storm.

Suddenly, the spacecraft shook violently, the lights flickered a few times, and then went out completely.

"It's over, Barbie Q..." Star Knight muttered.

In the darkness, a voice sounded calmly: "Light Messenger, activate the backup energy!"

"Zhang Cheng, are you sure?" another voice asked with a hint of hesitation.

"Execute immediately!" The Messenger of Light gritted her teeth, "Okay!" A soft light emanated from her hand, illuminating the dark cabin.

The backup energy source was activated and the spacecraft's systems gradually returned to normal.

"Phew... Fortunately, fortunately, I almost died here." The Star Knight breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. "This cosmic storm is even more terrifying than my wife's roar!"

"Shut up! Now is not the time to talk about this!" Zhang Cheng glared at him unhappily, "Star Knight, go check the damage to the spacecraft! Lao Po, you and the Protoss scholar go see how long the energy shield can last."

"Okay!" Lao Po and the Protoss Scholar took action immediately.

Although the Star Knight complained, he also knew the priorities of the matter, and immediately took a few starship warriors to start working.

The spacecraft was pitched in the storm, like a small boat struggling in the rough sea.

Suddenly, there was a sharp scraping sound from the outer wall of the spacecraft, and then the alarm sounded again.

"What's going on?!" Zhang Cheng's face changed.

"Report! Unknown creatures were found outside the ship! There are so many of them!" a starship warrior shouted in horror.

"What?! This... this is too ridiculous!" The Star Knight couldn't help but complain, "We haven't even reached this mysterious planet yet, and we're already having an appetizer? This is too much of a compliment to us!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Fight quickly!" Zhang Cheng growled, drew his weapon and rushed out.

The Star Knight also hurriedly followed.

These unidentified creatures look strange in shape. Some look like giant bats, some look like octopuses with tentacles, and some look like... In short, they are a combination of all kinds of weird things.

They let out sharp cries and attacked the spacecraft's energy shield frantically.

"Fuck! This thing is pretty powerful!" The Star Knight exclaimed while waving his weapon.

These unidentified creatures are not only numerous, but their attack methods are also very strange. Some can spray corrosive liquids, some can shoot energy beams, and some... can sing!

"This... this is... a mental attack!" The Protoss scholar covered his head and groaned in pain.

"Mental attack? That's too shameless!" The Star Knight couldn't help but complain.

Just when everyone was about to collapse, the Protoss scholar suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Voice of the Stars! Use the Voice of the Stars to fight them!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

The Sound of the Stars is a special kind of energy fluctuation that can interfere with the mental attacks of these unknown creatures.

Under the guidance of Protoss scholars, everyone began to experiment with using the Voice of the Protoss.

Sure enough, after hearing the voice of the stars, the attacks of these unidentified creatures were significantly weakened, and finally they all fled away.

"Huh...finally...it's over..." The Interstellar Knight slumped on the ground, feeling his body hollowed out.

After a fierce battle, the spacecraft finally passed through the cosmic storm and arrived at the mysterious planet.

The Protoss scholar couldn't wait to start exploring as soon as he got off the spacecraft, and soon he discovered a special energy ore on the planet.

This mineral emits a faint blue light and contains powerful energy.

"That's it! That's it!" the Protoss scholar shouted excitedly, "This ore can not only repair the spacecraft, but also improve its performance!"

Everyone cheered and started mining the ore.

However, when they dug up the surface, they found that... this planet seemed to be hiding a bigger secret...

"Wait..." Zhang Cheng suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked deep underground with a serious look, "What...what is this..."

After digging up the surface, what was revealed was not the expected mineral vein, but a metal platform that was shining with a faint blue light.

The platform was as smooth as a mirror and was engraved with strange symbols, like the writing of some lost civilization or the patterns on a circuit board.

"What the hell! What kind of high-tech thing is this?" The interstellar knight couldn't help but curse and reached out to touch it.

"Don't touch it!" Zhang Cheng grabbed him and said, "Be careful, there might be something fishy going on."

The Nebula Sage narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the symbols on the platform, frowning: "These symbols... I seem to have seen them somewhere..." He tried hard to recall, and suddenly slapped his head, "I remember! This is an ancient star map! The star map that is said to record the ultimate secret of the universe!"

"The ultimate secret of the universe?!" The Star Knight's eyes lit up, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and crack it! Maybe there's some invincible gift package hidden in it!"

The Protoss scholars were also very excited. They took out various instruments and began to scan the platform, muttering to themselves: "Energy reaction...stable...symbol arrangement...regular...this...this is simply a miracle!"

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of discovering the treasure, several stone pillars suddenly rose up around the platform, with red light flashing on the tops and emitting a shrill alarm.

"Oh no! Something's happening!" Zhang Cheng immediately became alert, "Everyone be careful!"

The alarms sounded more and more urgent, the ground began to shake, and the scenery around the platform began to distort.

"This...what's going on?" The Messenger of Light was a little flustered.

"It seems... we have triggered some mechanism..." The Nebula Sage's face was solemn.

Suddenly, a powerful beam of energy shot out from one of the stone pillars and headed straight for Zhang Cheng!

"Zhang Cheng! Be careful!" the Messenger of Light exclaimed.

Zhang Cheng reacted quickly and dodged the beam by turning sideways. The beam hit the rock behind him and instantly blew it into powder.

"That was a close call!" The Star Knight wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This thing is too powerful!"

"This... this is simply a killing platform for gods and demons!" The Blue Star merchant was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hid behind the starship captain and trembled.

"Don't panic!" Zhang Cheng steadied himself, "Let's first..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a strong suction force pulling him to the center of the platform...

"Zhang Cheng!" everyone exclaimed.

Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but he only grabbed nothing...

"I... Shit..."
