094 Wage Recovery Plan

The players looked at each other in bewilderment and began using all sorts of pranks typical of elementary school boys to try and attract Li Aoz's attention. But unsurprisingly, none of their tricks succeeded in shifting Li Aoz's gaze.

What's even more outrageous is that Li Aoz made instant noodles right in front of them, and even added two sausages, a poached egg, and some vegetables, and ate all the hot soup.

Damn it, they were kidnapped and brought here without even having time to bring food. Star Abyss has a satiety and hydration system, and while you can turn off pain, you can't turn off taste, smell, or hunger.

What should we do then? We can't just burn this guy's lab down, can we?

I'm so angry! What's even more infuriating is that although I'm very unhappy, I can't find any reason to take action.

Just as these players were getting green with envy from being left hanging by Li Aoz, Li Aoz put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice:

"I don't really care about the origins of your special species. You can be resurrected after being killed, live under someone else's identity, and learn and improve quickly. Races with these traits are not uncommon in the universe, and I will not discriminate against you because of them."

The players were completely baffled, wondering what Li Aoz meant by those words.

"Rather than discrimination, we are, in a sense, the same kind of people."

Amidst the bewildered gazes of the players, Li Aoz slowly stood up, calmly delivering the words he had prepared long ago:

"To be honest, everyone, I'm not from Azure Planet People either."

I'm super?

The players were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, they heard an even more shocking statement from Li Aoz:

"My true identity is that of an envoy from the Thirteenth Narrative [Heroes Empire] - the Galaxy Civilization - the Fiennes Federation, nicknamed 'Echo'."

"These secrets are too heavy for the Azure Planet People, and I cannot tell them. But now, I need someone to help me take action in order to stop the destruction of Azure Planet."

At this point, Li Aoz finally had the opportunity to reveal everything. "The GTB organization on Azure Planet is not just a product of the Four Nations dividing the world and balancing energy distribution. Its predecessor was a third-kind contact organization called ' Cresta.' It specialized in receiving knowledge from extraterrestrial civilizations and translating it into a level that Azure Planet People could understand, then transmitting it to the world piece by piece."

" In the Old Era, super-large countries such as the Amirelio Federation, the Frostplate Kingdom, the Heavenly Ring Nation, and the Zhengxu Democratic Alliance all had close ties with the organization Cresta. The rise of the Red Arrow Empire actually came from Proto von Eto excavating the legacy of the [Armorist] and [Healer] from the remains of Cresta."

"However, with the emergence of the Malefic Calamity, the channels of communication between Azure Planet and the outside world were cut off. Energy will eventually be exhausted, and knowledge will eventually wither and be buried in the years along with civilization."

With the help of the "Charm" effect, Li Aoz's speech was like a lighthouse in the dark, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"You were not born to be confined to the earth. At least in the past, when you called out to the stars, you received a response."

Human beings slaughtering each other, the struggle for supremacy between Four Nations, the sorrow of small countries, and the despair of Outland People —all these are shrouded in the shadow of the Malefic Calamity.

Can you hear the echo above the blue sky?

In the vast universe, there will be voices of kindness or malice, but there will always be someone who says: Yes, you are not alone.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had been stirred up, Li Aoz pressed his advantage and directly used his current NPC Template permissions to issue a task: [Main Quest Triggered - "Unknown Airspace"]

[Type]: Breakthrough [Duration]: Until Destruction [Mission Difficulty]: Apocalypse (Note: Apocalypse—Apocalypse. The course of a mission at this difficulty level will drastically alter the celestial phenomena and climate of your planet. You will face trials far more difficult than those of an A-level mission, and you must unite all forces to overcome it, much like fighting a natural disaster.) [Introduction]: "Our home planet should not be our prison!"

Out of consideration for fellow non-native humans of Azure Planet, 'Echoer' Li Aoz reveals his true feelings to you: he is not a Azure Planet People, but a friendly alien with deep feelings for Azure Planet. Even so, he is still willing to save this second home that holds indelible memories for him.

You are new here and know nothing, like a fledgling eagle that has just hatched. But even a fledgling eagle will one day spread its wings and fly away from the mother nest.

Now, it's time to reclaim our home, our skies, and our universe!

May your courage and faith never fade.

New players who have been grinding for gold have never seen such generous rewards before. They were stunned and stood there dumbfounded, their minds going blank for a moment.

But the next moment, someone immediately noticed the difficulty of the Apocalypse mission.

"This difficulty level is said to be even higher than an A-level mission—has any of you ever done an A-level mission?" Yan Wang scratched his head and asked the people around him.

"I've done C-rank missions," the Guild Leader of the Murloc Guild said, licking his ice cream.

"Great, tell me the details."

"Start the raid, enter the instance, white light, wipe." The latter closed his eyes, "I dare not look at anything."

This description was too simple and straightforward, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This is Main Quest; we can't just ignore it," someone thought.

"Is it possible that Li Aoz is an NPC in the Frostplate District...?"

"This is definitely a hidden main plot, you bastard."

"We can't even beat a C-level opponent, so let's just give up. Let's call it a day and talk about it later."

Li Aoz not surprised to see that these players were still reluctant to leave.

"Don't rush to leave."

As he spoke, he opened the Biochemical Pool, revealing a dazzling array of potions:

"I have some things here that might be useful to you."

After recovering from the illness, I was clearly not in good condition. I wrote for a long time but my mind was blank, and the quality of my writing also dropped significantly. I had to revise it more than ten times before it was barely readable.

To be honest, I had a high fever for two days. I don't know about other people's situation, but I had a fever of 39.9 degrees Celsius and was bedridden for three whole days. Except for going to the toilet, I could hardly get out of bed. My mind was foggy, and even looking at my phone for a moment would give me a splitting headache. Last night, I tossed and turned in bed with a terrible headache, and I couldn't fall asleep even though I was gritting my teeth.

I might need to change my writing style next, and try to use simple and straightforward language to describe the story. If I still have the same pretentious, literary style as before, I'm afraid my own brain won't be able to handle it.
