Agyha, a Planet of Coexistence Between Great Beasts and Civilizations

The desert planet Agyha. A few years ago, the Genius Society conducted a thorough search of this planet but found nothing and had to retreat in disappointment.

However, the IPC later developed the planet in a way that felt like waste utilization, turning it into the current planet that combines exploration, treasure hunting, and entertainment.

At the same time, because the planet's vast wilderness and deserts formed enormous uninhabited zones, some of the oases in these areas became lawless territories, turning into fencing points for surrounding star systems. You can find all sorts of shady characters here.

Of course, these areas are also tacitly allowed to exist by the IPC. Agyha's planetary control is firmly in the hands of the IPC, and these fencing points pay protection fees annually.

In any case, according to the IPC's rules, even their wanted criminals, as long as they cross the external checkpoints and enter these legal gray market areas, will not be subject to large-scale arrests.

The IPC's saying, "Even enemies, as long as they are willing to abide by the interstellar trade rules set by the company, will receive service," is not just a slogan. Robbing company freighters and then fencing the stolen goods on company territory is a common occurrence in the universe.

In short, on the desert planet Agyha, as long as you stay near the major cities controlled by the IPC, you are a tourist. As long as you don't court disaster, your safety is guaranteed.

However, if you leave the city limits on your own, not as part of an IPC tourist program, the IPC will no longer guarantee your safety. Everything will depend on your own strength.

Dan Lei landed on this planet under such circumstances, posing as a tourist.

Dan Lei's journey to this planet was quite smooth.

After obtaining the trial permit, all subsequent procedures for Luofu went through smoothly.

Dan Lei temporarily entrusted his small shop to the Ming Huo merchant guild for one hundred years, with them managing it on his behalf.

This Ming Huo merchant guild is Tingyun's guild and is quite well-known on Luofu.

Many people in Golden People Alley are its partners, so no one found it strange that Dan Lei chose to affiliate with the Ming Huo merchant guild.

Because Dan Lei also took this opportunity to meet Tingyun before she was ravaged by Phantylia and signed an affiliation contract with a term of one hundred years.

However, the contract clearly stipulated that during the contract's effective period, if the Ming Huo merchant guild could no longer operate, all rights to the shop would immediately revert to Dan Lei and would not be transferred as remaining assets of the Ming Huo merchant guild.

Here, Dan Lei was openly trying to trick Tingyun. After the Phantylia calamity, Tingyun would be declared dead, and the Ming Huo merchant guild would be handed over to Yan Ming's merchant group. At that time, Dan Lei could legitimately reclaim the shop.

Of course, Dan Lei had considered whether to help Tingyun avoid this disaster.

But upon careful consideration, he realized he had no idea when or where Tingyun would be attacked by Phantylia.

Moreover, even if he persuaded Tingyun not to leave Luofu around the year 8100 of the Star Calendar, Phantylia could still disguise herself as someone else and infiltrate Luofu, which wouldn't solve the problem.

At that time, he would also lose his advantage of foresight, not knowing who Phantylia was, which would be a loss outweighing any gain.

Therefore, regarding Tingyun's future fate, Dan Lei chose to remain silent, preparing to let everything unfold.

After all, Dan Lei was also very interested in the Jianmu Fruit.

Once the shop issue was settled, it was time for identity registration.

The IPC had always been trying desperately to break into the Luofu market. This was because after the third Antimatter Legion war, Luofu was assigned the duty of traveling through numerous prosperous star systems to conduct trade and cultural exchanges with various worlds.

Therefore, opening up the Luofu market would be equivalent to opening up the entire Xianzhou Alliance market.

As a result, the IPC completed Dan Lei's identity registration in one day. They also exchanged Dan Lei's Xun Di at the highest rate and even tried to persuade Dan Lei to open an online store on the IPC network.

However, Dan Lei used all these credits to purchase desert survival supplies.

Tingyun, knowing Dan Lei was going to Agyha, gave him many suggestions and helped him plan how to buy various supplies more cost-effectively.

Such thoughtful service made Dan Lei feel a bit embarrassed, considering he had somewhat tricked Tingyun.

Therefore, Dan Lei purchased all his subsequent supplies from the Ming Huo merchant guild, and even traveled to Agyha by a Ming Huo merchant guild's starfaring vessel to the Pier Point star system before transferring to other ships.

Since Dan Lei followed all the official channels, he did not encounter any danger on his journey from Luofu to Agyha.

Only Dan Lei, who had never seen the world before, was immensely shocked when he saw all the interstellar creations.

In reality, this couldn't be blamed on Dan Lei's lack of experience. In the nearly two hundred years on Luofu, if data were quantified, Luofu's exploration progress would probably be less than 20%. Dan Lei hadn't even taken a starfaring vessel to see how vast Luofu was from a cosmic perspective.

However, after seeing too many interstellar space stations like this, one gets used to them. After all, a star transfer station, no matter how large it is built, is still just a transfer station.

By the time he had warped all the way to Agyha, Dan Lei was already quite calm.

As the spaceship entered Agyha, looking down from high above, all that could be seen was endless wilderness, scattered patches of green, and massive sandstorms.

Admittedly, it was quite interesting to overlook the sandstorms from high altitude.

The ochre cloud wall, with its jagged edges, devoured the horizon, like a pot of boiling metallic solution churning on the earth.

Sunlight refracted through the dust screen, casting an eerie, verdigris hue, making the entire sky appear as if it were encased in murky amber.

The contours of the sand dunes twisted into liquid waves in the gale, and occasionally, lightning crackled deep within the dust clouds, like sparks flying from the scales of a rampaging Great Beast.

Wherever they passed, the scattered oases were like small building blocks being swallowed whole by the yellow "Great Beast."

At this time, the intelligent voice on the spaceship was also introducing Agyha's sandstorms to the tourists and began recommending Agyha's natural sandstorm observation projects, promising that the protective force fields around the city could completely withstand the sandstorms and would not affect the city.

As for Dan Lei, he wasn't concerned about sandstorms. He was currently studying some of the large creatures in the Agyha desert.

To be honest, when Dan Lei first saw the Agyha creature compendium, his first reaction was that this place was probably a parallel universe from a Monster Hunter game. Except for the winged wyverns and Elder Dragons, almost all other monsters were present.

According to the information provided by the IPC, before Agyha was discovered and developed by the IPC, there were very few native humans, and they occupied a low position in the ecosystem. It was entirely a Great Beast planet.

Giant frog-like creatures inhabiting underground rivers and wind-eroded caves.

Great bears active in oases and surrounding wastelands.

Countless fish-like Sandfish in the sand, various Sandworms, and large monsters called Sand Sea Dragons, though they had nothing to do with dragons. There were even confirmed creatures resembling Horned Dragons, but without wings.

It could be said that these creatures were Dan Lei's secondary objective, besides recharging the Holy Grail.

Their intact skin and bones are materials for making puppets, while their broken bodies can also be directly used to extract life force and turn it into Magic Crystals. Most of their flesh and blood is edible.

The key is that if you're far enough from the city, you won't encounter anyone at all. As a planet for charging the Holy Grail, it's simply perfect.

Aventurine is not a Longevity Species, nor is there any information indicating he gained longevity after obtaining the Aventurine Stone.

Here, we can only estimate the time of the Agyha Aventurine Case based on the lifespan of a short-lived species.

After Aventurine gained status, his lifespan would certainly have been enhanced to a certain extent. Therefore, we estimate that the Agyha Aventurine Case occurred more than thirty years before the Penacony storyline, with the current time being a few years ago.

Additionally, the monster hunter element is merely background supplementation for planets with completely absent information; the author has no intention of writing a hunting segment.
