Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

After a while ------

Dongfang Yu's voice rang out: "This is something we really need to reflect on. As husbands, we still have many shortcomings."

"I agree, so I'm trying to be a good husband now."

If Mo Li knew, she would only say, "There's no need for that. Just be yourself. That way, I'll have one less person to freeload off."

However, she was listening attentively to the other members of the collection team discussing their trip to the planet and the precautions they needed to take during the collection.

After everyone else had shared their thoughts, it was Captain Yan Jun's turn:

"This time, our main focus will still be on finding and collecting crystal ores. As for discovering rare plants that are valuable and can be cultivated by planters, that's up to luck, so we shouldn't force it."

Because they were very clear that the entire galaxy and all the planets had been affected by that nuclear storm. After thousands of years of changes, the violent factors had become ubiquitous. Those mutated plants looked fine on the outside, but in reality, they were completely contaminated inside.

It really is all about luck; truly valuable plants are extremely rare.

Chu Linglong handed a small booklet to Mo Li:

"While you're on the spaceship, learn as much as you can about the plants that have been discovered, collected, and cultivated so far. If you find even one, you'll really have struck gold this time."

If a new variety is discovered and, after being examined by a grower, confirmed to be cultivable and edible, in addition to selling it for a large sum of star coins, the Empire will also award a very substantial bonus, starting at a million.

Mo Li just smiled and didn't say anything. She didn't actually lack interstellar currency right now, and hadn't considered making money through gathering. Instead, she was looking forward to seeing what the scenery of the planet she was about to visit would be like.

At the same time, they listened to the conversations of the people in the spaceship while looking through the transparent spaceship windows at the amazing views of space tunnels and wormholes.

What surprised her even more was that she finally saw living space beasts with her own eyes. Each kind presented a different form. The one that attracted her the most was a star beast that looked like a soft pink dumpling and had a pair of silver eyes.

"Linglong, what kind of Starry Sky Beast is that?"

Chu Linglong looked over as she spoke, then her expression changed drastically, and she instinctively grabbed her arm:

"Ah Li, don't be fooled by its cute appearance. It is the most dangerous existence in the time tunnel. If you encounter a time storm and your spaceship is damaged, and your mental energy is captured by it, you can easily be deceived by its soft and cute appearance and be lured into a hallucinogenic state by releasing hallucinogens. In the end, your mental energy will be completely drained by it."

Captain Yan Jun continued, picking up where Chu Linglong left off: "A thousand years ago, there were people who specialized in capturing Star Beasts. It was because of their appearance that they almost caused a major interstellar panic. Later, the Interstellar Federation and the Empire strictly prohibited the capture of Star Beasts. Gradually, people turned to raising cute and non-aggressive pets."

However, their vital signs are relatively fragile, and their lifespan is relatively short, generally 10-30 years. When gathering teams encounter these pet animals, they usually capture them and sell them back on their own planet.

Mo Li listened attentively, indicating that she had learned something new.

Others also joined the discussion on this topic.

"Planters who possess plant spirits and gatherers who possess beast scouts do not raise additional beast pets. Compared to other options, the cost is relatively high, and it also has a certain degree of exclusivity."

Upon hearing the word "Beast Collector," Mo Li quickly realized what it meant, as she had a detailed understanding of the various professions for women in interstellar space.

Chu Linglong sighed softly:

"Alas, it's a pity that a tiny, private gathering team like ours doesn't have any gathering masters." He paused, then his eyes lit up with anticipation: "But it's okay, it's all temporary. One day I will become a gathering master."

Mo Li encouraged her, "Then good luck."

In reality, a gathering team with a gathering master is not on the same level as a team without a gathering master. The difference in strength between gathering teams is a very intuitive and clear reference standard, which is the number of gathering masters in the team and the level of the gathering masters. And the most important criterion for gathering masters is whether they have a hunting beast and how many hunting beasts they have contracted.

As if sensing her thoughts, Butterfly Dance's voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "How can an ordinary beast be worthy of its master? When master goes to the Beast Exploration Star, I will help master to form a contract with the Beast King."

Mo Li felt like she had been transported to another dimension and was being attacked from a lower dimension. Upon careful consideration, she realized that she had already signed a contract with the Elf Queen, and it would be impolite to sign a contract with an ordinary beast as well.

She didn't want to engage in conversation in the atmosphere, but thankfully, she hadn't considered being high-profile after her transmigration.

"I really want to have my own hunting beast, so that every time I go out to collect resources, I can have a great harvest, and all of our lives can be improved, and we won't have to rent a house anymore."

Jian Qiu patted Chu Linglong on the shoulder: "Yes, I believe in you."

"Hmm, what a pity. If you hadn't been attacked by the Zerg, Sister Jianqiu, and your mental sea hadn't been damaged, you wouldn't be in this state now..."

“Every bit of energy is a rare treasure. I am very content now, and I am lucky to have met you all.”

Mo Li simply listened. As a new member who might not be a permanent member in the future, she listened without asking any questions, otherwise it would seem presumptuous.

After a ten-hour journey, their spaceship finally landed on planet D2367. The climate of this planet was the same as that of the capital planet. Ignoring the smog in the air, the temperature was still suitable. Although the protective suits had a temperature-regulating effect, it was really hard to feel the difference.

Chu Linglong and her group were different. They had limited financial resources, and the protective suits they wore had only one function: they could directly feel the temperature in the air.

"Ah, this season is so good. Once the temperature gets scorching hot, it will feel absolutely terrible."

"So everyone must explore and collect diligently this time, and take advantage of the current opportunity to harvest as much as possible. Next time, we will go to a specific planet to collect ice crystals and ice tree crystals that help cool down in summer."

Throughout the journey, Mo Li actually had a good impression of the team members led by Yan Jun. Apart from the somewhat aloof Jian Qiu, the other members were quite talkative, and she benefited greatly from their conversations. It could be said that they did not hold anything back.

It allowed her to learn about some things that she couldn't actually access from the StarNet.

As they disembarked from the spaceship, they saw two handsome, tall young men with an air of nobility and refinement descending from the spaceship that had landed alongside them.

Before they could react, they strode towards them with their long legs.

Chu Linglong was a complete looks-obsessed person. With her exceptional eye for appreciating countless handsome men, she could tell that even if they were wearing headgear, they were definitely top-tier handsome men. When she got closer, stood in front of them, and looked up, she almost screamed out in surprise.

One was handsome and sunny, with a faint smile that made him seem somewhat wicked. The other was instantly likable, a true gentle and refined gentleman. The features and bone structure of those two faces were exceptionally outstanding, enough to rank them in the top twenty of any list of handsome men she had ever seen.

Why the top twenty? It's because the others ranked higher were all people she painstakingly re-ranked from the top 100 of the annual StarNet's list of interstellar handsome men according to her own aesthetic sense.

If you ask her who is the most handsome, she will answer without hesitation that it is the Crown Prince of the Empire: Emperor Jue.
