After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Finally, the host excitedly brought down the hammer: "Deal! This invaluable interstellar source crystal belongs to this lady!"

Nan Qiao was so excited that she hugged Zhou Zimo tightly. They must win the battle between Blue Star and Charon Star!

As soon as the auction ended, Nan Qiao and Zhou Zimo hurried to the backstage payment counter.

The crowd automatically made way for the two bidders who were spending a fortune, their eyes full of curiosity and envy.

The cashier in charge of collecting the money was a tall, thin, and shrewd interstellar teller. Upon seeing Nan Qiao, he immediately put on a professional smile and said, "Ma'am, congratulations on buying so many precious treasures. The total is 76 million interstellar coins. Would you like to pay by card or bank transfer?"

Nan Qiao raised his hand and shook the watch Zhou Zimo gave him, then tapped the payment terminal next to him. With a burst of electronic sound, the money was deducted instantly.

The teller handed over the receipt, a look of amazement still lingering in his eyes. "Please follow me to pick up the goods. There are so many goodies, so please check them carefully."

In the warehouse, laser guns, spaceship blueprints, the Dark Shadow Sky Breaker combat spacecraft, etc. are displayed one by one.

Nan Qiao touched the warm jade pendant on his chest and muttered something. Then he saw all the large and small items disappeared in a flash of light and were collected into the space jade pendant.

Zhou Zimo looked at the jade pendant and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. After such a long time, Sister Nan Qiao was still wearing the jade pendant he gave her. Zhou Zimo felt extremely happy.

He stepped forward and said softly, "Sister, you took a lot of pictures this time. To turn them into real weapons and equipment, you will definitely need a huge amount of raw materials."

"I still have a few million here. Let's go to the materials market and make preparations early."

Nan Qiao's eyes lit up, full of gratitude: "Zimo, thank goodness I have you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy many things today."

Zhou Zimo touched the back of his head embarrassedly. The cold Ying Ci of the past seemed like a completely different person.

The two walked out of the auction venue side by side, boarded the interstellar hovercraft, and sped towards the materials market.

The interstellar materials market is bustling with activity, with suspended stalls stacked one after another, and all kinds of rare minerals and exotic metals emitting colorful light.

Nan Qiao took the weapon blueprint and compared the required materials one by one, frowning from time to time.

Zhou Zimo moved expertly between the stalls, bargaining with the burly material vendors.

"Boss, you're asking fifty thousand interstellar coins per gram for this Fantasy Light Crystal. That's too much. We're buying in bulk, so give it a discount." Zhou Zimo held a piece of crystal emitting a dreamy luster in his hand and waved it towards the stall owner.

The stall owner, a one-eyed man, smacked his lips and said, "Seeing how sincere you are, 45,000 can't be any lower!"

Zhou Zimo pretended to leave, but the stall owner quickly stopped him: "Hey, 40,000, is that okay? Small business isn't easy!"

After buying the phantom light crystal, the two of them collected key materials such as magnetic ore and star-patterned steel, and the bags and boxes were piled up on the ground.

Nan Qiao used the space jade pendant again, and in the blink of an eye, all the materials disappeared.

All the materials were prepared, and the heavy packages and boxes were put into the space jade pendant by Nan Qiao. Everything was ready, and it was time to set off back to Blue Star.

The market was still bustling, and the light and shadow of people coming and going swayed in Zhou Zimo's eyes, but he felt that the surrounding hustle and bustle was separated from him by a layer of mist.

Nan Qiao took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Zimo. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhou Zimo force a smile, but the smile never reached his eyes. "Sister, everything is ready. Let's go now."

Nan Qiao nodded slightly, her voice unconsciously low and hoarse: "Well, it's been delayed long enough, Lan Xing is still waiting for me."

Zhou Zimo's Adam's apple rolled, and a thousand words swirled on his tongue. In the end, he could only squeeze out one sentence: "After you go back, you must be careful."

He knew that after this separation, Nan Qiao would change the fate of Blue Star, but he and Qiu Xing's predecessors who had fought side by side with him would all disappear into thin air as the "price" paid for the intersection of time and space.

Although their fate will be brighter than now, he has no future and no chance of meeting Nan Qiao again...

Nan Qiao stepped forward and gently hugged Zhou Zimo, as if comforting a child: "Don't worry, I will do my best with everyone's hope."

Letting go of her arms, she no longer hesitated and contacted the system to go back. Then a soft and mysterious blue light appeared around her.

Zhou Zimo just stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on Nan Qiao, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into the deepest part of his soul.

Until the blue light suddenly lit up, Nan Qiao's figure gradually became illusory and finally disappeared completely.

The noisy sounds of the market flooded into Zhou Zimo's ears, but he felt empty inside. After a long time, he turned around and slowly disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people in the interstellar space.

At the same time, in the laboratory of the Blue Star Special Bureau, a light suddenly appeared on the huge circular platform, and Nan Qiao's figure turned from virtual to real and landed steadily.

Nan Qiao's figure gradually became clearer on the circular platform of the Special Bureau laboratory. As soon as she appeared, Zhao Gang, Lin Yue, Dr. Jiang, Gu Yi and other researchers who were standing by surrounded her.

Everyone looked at her solemn expression and felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"Miss Nan Qiao, what's going on? Did something go wrong during this time travel?" Zhao Gang noticed something was wrong and asked first. His brows were twisted into knots and his eyes were fixed on Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao glanced at everyone, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly: "The situation is much more serious than something going wrong."

"I traveled to an interstellar world five hundred years from now. I witnessed with my own eyes in the historical archives the all-out attack launched by Charon on our Blue Planet. We...were defeated miserably, and Blue Planet was completely destroyed."

As soon as these words were spoken, the laboratory exploded.

Lin Yue's usually calm face showed surprise, and her eyes instantly turned red: "How could this happen? What about our family, friends, everything..."

Her voice was shaking and she could hardly speak.

Dr. Jiang pushed his glasses up, his face filled with disbelief. "How advanced is Charon's technology? Are we completely powerless? How could we be defeated so completely?"

Gu Yi clenched his fists, his face livid: "These bastards!"

Nan Qiao raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to calm down first: "Don't panic, everyone. The fact that I can stand here and tell you this means that I have found a way to resist Charon."

As she spoke, she took out the treasures she had won at the auction from the space jade pendant, including the palm laser gun, long-range missile blueprints, mothership blueprints, defensive weapon blueprints, and the precious interstellar source crystal, and placed them one by one on the experimental table.

Everyone's eyes widened instantly. A researcher was the first to step forward, pick up the palm laser gun, and exclaimed in amazement, "This craftsmanship and design are beyond our reach. With this thing, we'll have a deadly weapon in close combat!"
