"This is an interstellar vessel, the most basic kind." Ye Lingyun handed the vessel to Lin Ming, a trace of pain flashing through his eyes.
"It can make short-distance interstellar voyages through the universe. I've already set the route to Sirius. It will navigate automatically; you only need to inject True Essence to activate it."
"But be careful. This is a single-use consumable. Once it reaches Sirius, it will be scrapped. So after you arrive, you'll have to find a new one yourself, or locate a fixed interstellar teleportation array."
Lin Ming accepted the vessel. It felt slightly heavy in his hand, and he could sense the pure energy contained within.
He knew that something like this could never be found on Blue Star. It had to be a precious item Ye Lingyun had brought back from the Star Sea. Seeing Ye Lingyun's pained expression, Lin Ming could not help feeling touched.
"Brother Ye, this thing... wasn't cheap, was it?"
"Cough, cough... It's fine, it's fine." Ye Lingyun coughed twice and waved his hand magnanimously.
"Your brother Ye has spent so many years in the Star Sea. I still have this much saved up. Just use it. Don't try to save me money."
Just then, a black shadow suddenly sped over from the direction of Blue Star, accompanied by a resentful dragon roar—
"Roar—!!!"
Lin Ming and Ye Lingyun turned to look, only to see Xiao Hei's enormous body rushing toward them at a nimble speed utterly unsuited to its size. Its face was filled with anger and grievance.
It was clearly complaining that Lin Ming had not taken it along.
Feeling somewhat guilty after Xiao Hei roared at him, Lin Ming hurriedly soothed it. "Xiao Hei, listen to my explanation..."
Xiao Hei was still dissatisfied.
