The Unreliable Black Monkey King!

[The Black Monkey King told you that the universe was vast. The spatial scale of every star system was boundless even to an Immortal King.]

[Searching for good things in other star systems was like fishing for a needle in the sea. It required luck and asking around everywhere.]

[But in the Tianhe Star System, there was no need for such trouble.]

["Just go to a Special-Class Star."]

["Makes sense. Special-Class Stars are rare, so they must be covered in Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures! But how do we get there? I only have one year. I'm afraid I'd waste all of it riding a Star Boat. Forget it, let's conquer Vermilion Purple Star instead!"]

[The Black Monkey King was puzzled.]

["One year? Brother, are you dying? No wonder black qi is rising from your head. Is that death qi?"]

["No, I have plenty of lifespan left! It's just that I'll be replaced in a year! So we have to make haste and conquer Vermilion Purple Star!"]

["What's so worth conquering about a lousy First-Class Star? I'll take you to a Special-Class Star and broaden your horizons. Don't worry, I can directly open a spatial tunnel. We can cross the stars in the blink of an eye—no need to ride a Star Boat!"]

["You can teleport through space directly? That powerful? Is that something an Immortal King can do?"]

["Hmph! Do you think I roamed the universe, made friends far and wide, and sampled Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures everywhere by riding slow Star Boats? Besides, some star systems don't have Star Lanes at all."]

[You and the Black Monkey King hit it off at once.]

[You decided to join hands and conquer a Special-Class Star. The Black Monkey King wanted bananas and fine wine; you wanted power and status!]
