Chapter 680: Chapter 353: Mirror Planet, Parasitic Civilization_2

"Sorry, it’s a pleasure to see you return to your homeland safely from the interstellar battlefield. I’ll notify someone to update your information right away."

The situation on the interstellar battlefield is complicated. The system shows casualties, but there are also cases of temporary disappearances, so errors in judgment are quite normal.

Qin Shou’s expression remained calm as he nodded.

In his heart, he was certain that this Star Domain must have other interstellar battlefields.

If there were only the Heavenly Artifact Continent as a single interstellar battlefield, such errors wouldn’t exist.

The space channel of the Heavenly Artifact Continent had already been closed; even if there were survivors, it would be impossible for them to return.

However, due to the Mirror Planet’s system’s rather basic calculations, it didn’t classify this identification under the Heavenly Artifact Continent’s casualty list, which allowed Qin Shou to find a loophole.

Thinking about the atmospheric inspection methods of the Mirror Planet, Qin Shou could understand the situation.

In these circumstances, ordinary outsiders would be exposed upon entering here, and more precise methods wouldn’t be necessary.

After pondering briefly, a Mirror Planet resident handed over the updated identification card to Qin Shou.

"Lord Calo, please keep your identification card. I’ll now arrange a docking card for you."

After some operations, the Mirror Planet resident looked stunned again.

"Lord Calo, the system doesn’t show any record of you having applied for a docking card before. This..."

In other words, this Lord Calo didn’t own a spaceship before—he was broke.

Qin Shou smiled awkwardly, "Haha, look at me, I totally forgot about it. How much does it... uh... cost to get a card, how many Energy Crystals?"

The Mirror Planet’s universal currency was Energy Crystals, and he was aware of this.

"You need to pay in Energy Crystals for your card. However, since your spaceship is relatively large, docking it for one natural day costs one Constant Star Energy Crystal."

"One Constant Star Energy Crystal..."

Qin Shou’s heart sank with pain—so expensive!

But the Mirror Planet’s Mirror Space couldn’t possibly store such a large spacecraft, so if he wanted to continue to keep up the disguise, he had to pay.

"I’ll take three days." He handed over three Constant Star Energy Crystals.

"..."

...

Strolling through the Mirror World, Qin Shou glanced at the street filled with Mirror Planet People, feeling a headache coming on.

To him, these Mirror Planet People were like foreigners—he couldn’t distinguish them from one another; they all looked the same.

"Hey, handsome, want to come in and have some fun?"

Just then, a female Mirror Planet resident, whose attractiveness was quite indeterminate, approached Qin Shou with exaggerated winks and smiles.

Qin Shou scrutinized her from head to toe before sporting a look of disinterest.

"What do you offer inside?" he asked casually.

"Oh, handsome, don’t play dumb. Of course, skincare treatments!"

She pulled out a bottle of silvery liquid and introduced it: "Our nutrient liquid here has the best effect on skin, making your skin’s silver glow even more alluring."

Qin Shou responded with an "Oh," realizing that the local aesthetic focused on the quality of silver-toned skin.

"Come on, handsome, give it a try; it’s very affordable."

"Is this place... proper?" Qin Shou side-eyed the crystalline storefront behind her, clearly implying something.

The female Mirror Planet resident clung to Qin Shou’s right arm, her smile turning "creepy."

"Of course, proper. You’ll find out once you come in, handsome."

Unexpectedly, Qin Shou sneered and pushed her aside lightly.

"Hah! Who goes to proper places? What kind of business are you running—freaking lunatics..."

Qin Shou muttered as he walked away, leaving behind a stunned yet impeccably smooth face.

...

Super Divine Mirror Restaurant.

"Waiter, the menu!"

At a table, Qin Shou knocked on it and called out, planning to try the Mirror Planet’s cuisine.

The waiter approached with the menu, and Qin Shou took a look, his pupils shrinking as shock flooded his heart.

After a long pause, his face flickered with indecision, struggling over something.

"Have you made your decision, sir?" the waiter asked.

Qin Shou shook his head, avoiding looking at the menu.

"No, I’m suddenly not hungry. Goodbye."

He hurriedly left, prompting the waiter to mutter with disdain.

"Hah, if you can’t afford it, don’t come."

Just as he reached the doorway, Qin Shou heard this, causing veins to bulge on his forehead and his fists to clench tightly.

Face-hugging Worm Tail, Spine-eating Gu Limbs, Alien Brain...

Are these even meant for consumption?

The thought alone grossed him out—ugh!

Mom... I miss the Qin Family’s secret recipe burgers so much!!!

...

Super Divine Mirror Hotel.

On his first night, Qin Shou received news from his Monkey Avatar.

Glancing at the virtual interface, Qin Shou comprehended.

In this Star Domain, there weren’t only the Mirror Planet as a Life Planet.

Far away existed two parasitic civilizations: the Spine-eating Gu and the Aliens.

No wonder the restaurant offered disgusting dishes using Spine-eating Gu and Alien ingredients today.

The Spine-eating Gu and Aliens were mortal enemies; the Mirror Planet allied with the Alien civilization to suppress the development and expansion of the Spine-eating Gu Clan.

In the Spine-eating Gu Star System and Alien Star System, quite a few humans had become their food and slaves.

This coincided mostly with the information obtained from the Frozen Bone Eater Gu, except for the omission of the Mirror Planet. Clearly, Spine-eating Gu’s intelligence couldn’t be trusted— eliminating Frozen Bone Eater Gu while preserving Xiao Bai’s consciousness was the right choice.

Next, Qin Shou reviewed more relevant information.

The Spine-eating Gu and Aliens appearing on Earth were minor organisms, with the strongest merely being the Ultimate Spine-eating Gu.

Originally, Qin Shou assumed that the Spine-eating Gu and Aliens were nothing special. However, the news from Brother Monkey overturned his naivety.

The Pioneers had used exclusive Space Channel technology to teleport low-tier Spine-eating Gu and Aliens to Earth. As for those with greater potential, the Pioneers couldn’t even access them.

Furthermore, due to endless interstellar war in this Star Domain and Earth’s inability to mine Constant Star Energy Crystals, those three had little interest in Earth.

Thus, Earth narrowly dodged a disaster.

However, in this Star Domain, the combined strength of the Spine-eating Gu and Aliens was on par with the Mirror Planet.

In the Spine-eating Gu faction, Perfect Spine-eating Gu wasn’t rare, and a God Realm Ultimate Spine-eating Gu oversaw the Spine-eating Gu Clan.

As for the Alien Star System, unlike the movie’s portrayal, the Aliens here had broken certain genetic limitations and even possessed a God Realm Alien Queen.

The Mirror Planet needed no introduction.

Gently stroking his chin, Qin Shou fell into deep thought.

The chaotic situation in this Star Domain meant he couldn’t directly confront the Mirror Planet’s God Realm powerhouse, and he wasn’t certain he could defeat them either.

With the Mirror Planet and Aliens suppressing the Spine-eating Gu...

The only option was to start with the Spine-eating Gu.

Soon, Qin Shou formulated his plan.

First, test the Mirror Planet’s space transmission device by joining the army and heading to the interstellar battlefield!

...

Crystal Fortress, Registration Center.

A burly Mirror Planet resident carefully carried an unknown "tea" and politely approached Qin Shou.

"Lord Calo, here you go."

"Hm, just leave it there!"

Qin Shou gestured toward the table, showing no intention of touching the pungent, inexplicably scented "tea."

The Mirror Planet resident wasn’t bothered, placing the tea down before hesitantly saying, "Lord Calo, you’re already a pinnacle Unbreakable Realm powerhouse. If you want to join the army, we’re certainly welcoming.

But regarding military ranks, though your strength is impressive, you’ve just arrived here, so according to regulations, I can only assign you a more modest rank."

Qin Shou waved his hand, "It’s fine! A man proves himself through his strength—don’t worry, I won’t make things hard for you."

"Thank you, Lord Calo."

"Haha, I should be thanking you instead."

"Don’t dare, don’t dare. By the way, Lord Calo, which interstellar battlefield do you want to join?"

"Hm, anywhere works—as long as there’s loot to earn, you know what I mean."

"Haha, got it, got it."

After simple procedures, Qin Shou became the Second Battalion Leader of the 9527th Legion, assigned to the Sixth Battle Zone.

"Lord Calo, best of luck!"

Under the towering figure’s watchful gaze, Qin Shou disappeared into the space channel alongside recovering veterans.

...

Sixth Battle Zone.

The base of the Sixth Battle Zone was built on the Sixth Planet within the Spine-eating Gu Clan’s territory. While not highly intense, battles here were far from leisurely.

The space channel glimmered with silver light as Qin Shou and others successfully arrived at the Mirror Planet’s Sixth Base.

The stench of blood and rot assaulted his nose, prompting Qin Shou to look up at the blood-tinged, dreary sky with furrowed brows.

In this environment, ordinary humans couldn’t survive, which meant humans trapped under the Spine-eating Gu’s shadow weren’t of normal physiology.

"Lord Calo, this way please."

A Mirror Planet resident with a military rank slightly higher than Qin Shou greeted him warmly.

Qin Shou waved his hand with a smile, "No need to be so formal—it’s been a while since I stretched my muscles. Assign me a task right away!"

The individual paused briefly, not objecting.

He pulled up a virtual interface, checked it, and smiled: "Lord Calo, you’ve arrived at just the right time! Your rank as Second Battalion Leader coincides perfectly with a mission suited for you."

Qin Shou nodded, but something suddenly came to mind.

"By the way, do you distribute Yidali Cannons here?"

"Uh... Lord Calo, what’s a Yidali Cannon?" The other party stared blankly.
