Punklorde

The star cruiser traversed the sea of stars.

Bai Heng used the ship's communication equipment to send a message to Ruan Mei.

"Business trip's over, on the way back."

About ten seconds passed.

Ruan Mei replied:

"You've worked hard, need me to give you a physical when you get back, my dear assistant?"

"Cat cake sends love, jpg."

Attached was a photo.

In the picture, Ruan Mei sat on a snow-white hotel bed, wearing a thin white bathrobe, her fair legs gently crossed, her long hair wet, as if she had just finished bathing.

Behind her was a one-way mirror floor-to-ceiling window, the night view outside revealing a corner of the city's prosperity.

Various light pollution and towering glass buildings, large data displays, holographic projections of celebrities, chaotic streets, and the red lights of drone swarms covered the night sky, forming lines.

The entire city, shrouded in neon lights, seemed to be in a state of disarray yet organized.

This city gave Bai Heng a certain feeling.

Like his home planet Earth after another hundred years of development.

He continued to send a message to Ruan Mei.

Bai Heng: "Where is this? A Ruan."

Ruan Mei: "Punklorde, a planet famous for information life and hacking technology. I'm here to attend an academic event. The event starts the day after tomorrow. If you're free, you can participate as my assistant, dear."

Punklorde?

After seeing this name, Bai Heng searched for information about this planet on the ship's computer.

The data showed that this was a planet with highly developed information technology and data networks, and also a planet full of light pollution. The most outstanding hackers in the entire universe came from here.

Whether in the high-end office buildings under the city's neon lights or in the dark basements of the lower classes of society, this planet has produced geniuses in the field of hacking.

Once, a super hacker from Punklorde had a data defense battle with Screwllum of the Genius Society.

Even though that hacker's intrusion ended in failure, in Screwllum's view, it was not considered a victory either.

And the true identity of that hacker is now a member of the notorious Stellaron Hunters, codenamed "Silver Wolf."

Her existence is worshiped by countless hackers throughout Punklorde, and she can even be called the invisible emperor of Punklorde.

"Xiao Si, locate our distance to Punklorde."

Bai Heng crossed his legs in the most comfortable position, sipping his brewed coffee, and asked:

"Okay, Brother Bai." The red-haired young man's fingers, adorned with various street stall rings, wandered across the control interface in front of him.

Before long, the distance between the star cruiser's location and Xianzhou and Punklorde was displayed.

"Brother Bai, there are several planets named Punklorde, which one are you asking about?" Xiao Si turned his head and asked:

"Hacker Star."

Hearing Bai Heng's answer, Xiao Si located it again, and then shouted to the back:

"Brother Bai, that planet is very close to us. If I go at full speed, it will only take half a day. The fuel on this starship is enough for us to travel for five days, enough for a trip."

Xiao Si was actually very clever. After hearing Bai Heng ask about this planet, he knew that he intended to go there.

"Stand by first." Bai Heng's finger landed on the ship's communication device, and he continued to send a message to Ruan Mei.

Bai Heng: "Will my sudden arrival disrupt your schedule?"

The time between Bai Heng's sending this message was relatively long.

But Ruan Mei still replied immediately, it seemed that she had been waiting.

Ruan Mei: "It won't."

"Of course, if you are not willing to participate in this event and are interested in the planet Punklorde instead, I can also cancel this event and accompany you to see this planet."

Looking at the messages sent by Ruan Mei, Bai Heng had an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

He replied:

"I'm now changing course, it will only take 12 interstellar hours to get to Punklorde."

Ruan Mei: "It should be noon here by then, do you need me to pick you up at the spaceport?"

Bai Heng: "No need, you have an important event to attend tomorrow, just tell me the hotel location, I'll come find you."

Ruan Mei: "Okay."

His finger left the ship's communication device.

Bai Heng said to Xiao Si:

"Change the work schedule."

"Change the destination of the route to—Punklorde."

The scores are out, everyone, don't forget to rate.
