With the spaceship in place, Li Xingkong and Guapilong's journey officially began.
For the next few days, Guapilong's hands were practically never stopped. All sorts of supplies were taken out of its hands and then transferred to the spaceship. For a time, it was busy running around like the spaceship's butler.
We could have waited until everything was in place before starting the trip, but due to someone's guilt, the journey had to begin ahead of schedule.
"Next step... hire a head chef team, and about 30 servants..."
After Li Xingkong spent several days exploring and modifying all the facilities and cabins inside the spaceship, he suddenly realized that he hadn't come out alone this time.
"So, all you've been doing these past few days, disappearing without a trace, is this?"
Seeing that more than half of the warehouse space was already occupied, Li Xingkong somewhat amusing.
"Yes, of course you need to be well-prepared when traveling. Look, this is refrigerated food, this is emergency supplies, this is a change of clothes..."
Guapilong pointed to the sorted supplies and explained them to Li Xingkong.
"Of course, the spaceship is currently short-staffed, and we may need to hire more people..."
Is this enough?
Li Xingkong, and released more than a dozen Golden Core constructs that he had been hoarding.
These robots are not purely combat robots; after all, their original purpose was to serve as substitutes, so their design is naturally more comprehensive.
After releasing them, Li Xingkong only slightly adjusted their appearance to make them look more like servants, and then handed over control of the constructs to the Guapilong.
"That's enough, that's enough."
Guapilong nodded repeatedly. So many robots were more than enough for the entire spaceship.
Li Xingkong's powerful backer is truly mysterious; it's hard for Guapilong to imagine what he can't do.
Maybe he still can't cook, since he still needs to go out to eat takoyaki.
"Alright, alright, we invited you here to be our tour guide, not our housekeeper. It's just the two of us on the spaceship anyway, no need for so many plans."
Looking at the things that Guapilong had prepared, Li Xingkong could only say that most of them were just for show, meant to lie in the warehouse and wait for their expiration date to make way for new replacements.
From his perspective, these things might be necessities, but in Li Xingkong's view, most of them were useless junk.
Relying on these things to work is less effective than simply conjuring up a spell yourself.
"Okay buddy, no problem buddy, we're almost there for our first attraction, the Heavenly Chasm World Wall!"
Guapilong pointed to a spot on the star map and spoke to Li Xingkong.
Following its guidance, Li Xingkong looked at the location on the star map.
This was the first time Li Xingkong had seen a wall-like structure on the star map.
It appeared abruptly on the star map as if it had been drawn, and no matter how you dragged it back and forth, this wall remained, its size seemingly covering the entire universe, with no end in sight.
"Is this a wall?"
Li Xingkong's first reaction was that this was probably another trick devised by some civilization.
"Calling it a wall isn't wrong, but it can't be considered man-made."
The description of Guapilong was somewhat vague, suggesting that it had only heard of it.
Logically speaking, given the sheer size of this structure, Li Xingkong should be able to see the wall from his current position. However, looking around, the entire universe remains the same, with no wall in sight.
This piqued his curiosity.
The spaceship continued its journey for several more days, getting closer and closer to the World Wall on the map.
Li Xingkong did not see the wall; instead, he saw that the closer he got to this so-called World Wall, the more aliens and spaceships he encountered along the way.
It was as if something was drawing them to this place.
"Hey, when you were planning your trip, didn't you check the local security situation?"
Li Xingkong muttered to himself as he manipulated his Divine Sense to smash the StarCraft pirate ships that swarmed around his spaceship like flies into pieces.
"I saw it, but who could have imagined that just one point lower in security would cause such a mess?"
Guapilong shrank back, his voice lacking confidence.
The reason is simple: as they get closer to the World Wall, perhaps because Li Xingkong's ship is too conspicuous, several waves of pirates and lawbreakers have tried to target it.
At first, Guapilong was frantically directing the robots inside the spaceship to launch a defensive counterattack, but the ship's firepower was simply too weak, and the counterattack weapons were as easy to use as children's toys.
After all, normally, such a spaceship would be accompanied by a dedicated security team every time it went out. It's quite unusual for Li Xingkong and his group to just travel around in a bare spaceship.
In fact, after Li Xingkong modified the spaceship, it had quite a few hidden killing moves, but most of the weapons required the intervention of Magic Power to activate, and for the Guapilong, it had no Magic Power at all.
Even sending out just one of the Golden Core constructs would be enough to easily deal with these guys, but it didn't know the strength of the Golden Core constructs themselves; it could only be said that it knew too little about the strength of its subordinates.
When it frantically approached Li Xingkong, Li Xingkong found it somewhat amusing.
No, are these misfits really that big of a deal?
Li Xingkong has been cramming on information about the Deep River Dragon Clan these past few days. Although the Guapilong seem harmless and weak, the Deep River Dragon Clan is actually quite powerful. Strictly speaking, they are a third-class civilization, or even above.
However, this civilization exists in a rather unique way, making it one of a kind in the entire universe.
Thanks to their innate, or rather instinctive, perception of the good and evil of other species, they are able to easily gain the favor of other species and thus forge deep friendships.
The Convention's description of them is very interesting. Although this species is not strong, technologically advanced, or particularly intelligent, they may be one of the species with the strongest backing in the entire universe.
From the three major powers to lone wolf mercenaries, it's common to see them following behind.
This unique survival model has allowed them to occupy a place in the entire Convention; however, their lack of hard power is clearly their fatal flaw.
Unfortunately, based on Li Xingkong's research on the Guapilong, this guy's brain is only so big, and he probably wouldn't even think of this.
It can only be said that fate has been kind to them. For such a species to have come this far, it would be really unreasonable without a bit of good luck.
"We've arrived. This is the World Wall!"
Just as Li Xingkong was pondering, Guapilong exclaimed joyfully.
