"Fatso, even if you say that, I won't come down to help. Take your time, don't rush, and don't let the mechanisms and star beasts destroy the treasure. I have something to do and need to leave for a while, but I'll be back soon." Du Nan replied with a voice message and did not engage in direct conversation. At this moment, he really needed to understand the information about the magic body. Now that he had new magic power, it was much more convenient to do things.
In the Iron Enclosure Star, the Silver Leaf Group was not surprised after hearing this.
Du Nan needed to explore the secrets of the magic body, which of course required a temporary long-distance trip. It would be strange if he could find out anything just by relying on the smart brain and the Azure Blue Magic Network. They only hoped that Du Nan's trip would not take too long; otherwise, if the magic body was found but no one was there to inspect and detect it, it would be very frustrating to leave it unused.
Before entering the small starship, Du Nan entered the magic network and sent a voice message to Brother Ma.
He asked him to welcome a friend called 'Wind Walker.'
Half a day later.
At a jump point of the Tianyang Federation, Du Nan arrived slowly. As soon as he entered the range of the large federation, four space-based cannons immediately locked onto him, demanding that he show his passage code. Such space-based weapon facilities were not available in small federations; they were only in large federations or... Scrap Star. However, the space-based cannons on that junk planet were for internal use and did not deal with external enemy invasions.
"The guarantor is Ma Hongfeng, a journalist," Du Nan said without much talk, showing no intention of being questioned.
The Tianyang Defense Group, seeing Du Nan's lack of cooperation, was about to get angry, but hearing Ma Hongfeng's name, they suppressed their anger.
They connected with Ma Hongfeng.
Recently, Ma Hongfeng had received countless 'strange friends' due to the Traveler's program, including some illegal 'black feet.' Now, with his status declining, if he continued to associate closely with these black feet, the defense group members might have to take a share of the 'toll.' Times had changed, and the defense group was not too polite, greeting Ma Hongfeng and immediately switching to a three-way call.
"May I ask, where does the gentleman come from?" Brother Ma was puzzled; there shouldn't be any 'friends' visiting during this period.
"Are you Old Ma, Ma Hongfeng? Traveler mentioned you. Lead the way quickly," Du Nan said with an impatient expression.
At this moment, his appearance had already changed.
With the flesh reinforcement from the divine artifact fragment, he could maintain a different appearance for a long time. No instrument could detect it, as this was his true face.
"Traveler..." Brother Ma pondered, about to match the name.
"Quickly, do you know him or not? Ma Hongfeng, don't mess around and bring in some shady characters to Tianyang. It's wartime, and our combat strength is already insufficient. We don't have the time to track these unknown people," the defense group members shouted. They had received many 'benefits' from Brother Ma, but after the Traveler's program stopped, the business of the Eight-legged Pegasus drastically decreased, and naturally, the tribute fees also decreased. These people, who were used to getting benefits, now had nothing good to say.
"Right, right, if you don't know him, make him leave quickly. There are many scammers these days, and we don't have the time to deal with them."
"Deal with me? Just you guys, the trash?" Du Nan said extremely rudely.
The faces of the defense group members immediately changed.
In space, under the aim of the space-based cannons, you dare to speak up?
Do you think we are dead?
"Little punk, what did you say? Say it again if you dare, and I'll turn you into space debris with one shot!" The defense group members stood up, their expressions furious. Used to being treated like lords, when had they ever been called 'trash'? And with the space-based cannons under manual control, a mere ordinary person without a mech daring to speak so arrogantly, how could they tolerate it?
"Oh, just this trash?" Du Nan, acting like a very bad-tempered young master, pointed at the space-based cannons.
"Trash your mother, little punk, do you dare..."
Boom!
Before the defense group members could finish speaking, Du Nan waved his hand, and the nearest space-based cannon was pierced by three tornadoes, instantly exploding into pieces.
At this moment, Du Nan's lips curled with a mocking smile. "I don't believe you can do anything."
"What happened?"
"Space-based cannon No. 16, completely exploded, lost all contact."
"The nearby sky rail was not affected by the explosion, no casualties for now. The passage is damaged, please repair it as soon as possible. Repeat, the passage is damaged, please repair it immediately."
Warnings from the defense group echoed, and everyone was shocked.
This little punk dared to destroy a space-based cannon in front of the defense group. Doesn't he know that guests should be treated with courtesy?
"Scoundrel, watch me blast you with one shot..."
"Blast your mother, stop it right now." A middle-aged man's voice sounded, and a fourth party's image appeared on the channel, a tall and imposing man in a marshal's uniform. He shouted at the defense group, "Are you all crazy? Is this how you welcome guests? Get lost, fix passages 15 and 16 immediately, or I'll fire you in three days. I'll handle this, and you all get lost."
Seeing the newcomer, the defense group members immediately lowered their heads, not daring to argue.
Then they heard the marshal politely ask, "I am Marshal Luo Xinghu, the commander of the sky rail defense group. May I ask for your name and what brings you to Tianyang? I have some influence here and might be able to help. Also, I have a question: the 'Traveler' you mentioned, is he the Traveler?"
"Strange, does Traveler know so many people?" Du Nan said calmly, and the defense group members almost wet themselves.
This strange person is actually the Traveler's friend!
Damn, no wonder he has such a peculiar temper. And he destroyed a space-based cannon in one wave... This cannon, which even a medium mech couldn't destroy with full power, was shattered with just a wave... Damn, it's a good thing the marshal eavesdropped on Ma Hongfeng's communication. If he hadn't intervened, we would have been finished. Even if we could subdue him, the Traveler would come to demand justice tomorrow.
"No, I don't know the Traveler, just asking. You know it's the insect invasion period, and I care about all the heroes on the front lines," Luo Xinghu tried to delay, wanting to gather more information. Basically, he was sure this gentleman was very familiar with the Traveler.
"Just a hundred victories, hasn't Traveler finished yet?" Du Nan continued to act.
Indicating that the war decree's condition of 'Silver level and above, 100 battles for rest' was too simple.
The listeners, however, were weak in the knees.
How long has the war been going on, and you've already won a hundred battles?
"Traveler mentioned you, Old Ma, and wanted to verify. What's your name?" Hearing this, Brother Ma knew this was 'Wind Walker.' He, like the Traveler, would never reveal his real name to anyone. Brother Ma had to take the risk and confirm.
When the listeners heard Brother Ma asking for a 'password,' they felt a chill.
This gentleman doesn't seem to have a good temper.
"I'm called Wind Walker. Traveler asked me to receive some things and fight a shallow sea battle. He said the live broadcast could earn you some money, and I can do it, but don't follow me with the camera. I won't waste much time, and I'll win in a short while," Du Nan said arrogantly, showing no respect for anyone.
While everyone was shocked, they also complained: The Traveler is such a polite child, why did he make friends with such a bad person?
The heavens must be blind.
Brother Ma was also shocked. If this Wind Walker could really win the shallow sea battle, it wouldn't be a matter of earning a little money, but a matter of counting money until his hands cramped. In the vast Azure Blue Star Alliance, who had ever won the shallow sea battle? Even the invincible Traveler had lost after a fierce battle with Qin Zhong. Is this Wind Walker joking?
"Problem?" Du Nan remained arrogant, deliberately creating a second personality.
"No, Mr. Wind Walker, do you need any teammates? It's wartime..." Brother Ma was about to explain that there weren't many people available.
"No, I can do it alone," Du Nan said arrogantly.
At this moment, the entire defense group was petrified.
They had never seen someone so arrogant. They thought, don't you know that in the shallow sea battle, there is a very lagging hero, Zhuo Feifan? Every time the Traveler successfully assassinated Qin Zhong, he was almost dragged down by this 'charge dog.' Every magic warrior who fought the shallow sea with the Traveler hated this general to the bone.
"No problem? Alright, I'll rest for a while and help you fight the shallow sea tomorrow. Remember, have all the things ready. I'll leave after I'm done, and I'll come back for more when I have new ones," Du Nan said without caring about the others' reactions.
He opened the navigation and entered the Tianyang Federation.
Then, after ten minutes, the entire Tianyang was in an uproar.
The Traveler reappeared... No, the Traveler's friend came. He was going to fight the shallow sea battle and declared he would definitely win. In this vacuum period when all magic warriors were on the battlefield, he couldn't find a few available warriors to help. Could he really fight the shallow sea battle alone?
Three hours later.
Some of the less busy veterans on the front lines returned.
As one of the guardians of Tianyang, Hong Zhen, who was also injured, rushed back and went to Brother Ma's courtyard to ask questions. Unfortunately, Wind Walker was sleeping in the starship and didn't pay attention to anyone. Several marshals of the Tianyang Federation, who were on duty, also came. They studied the video of the space-based cannon being destroyed and concluded only that it was a 'wind-type magic warrior.'
What kind of skill and what level, they were completely clueless.
"The Azure Blue Star Alliance is mainly water-type magic, so it's not surprising you can't figure it out. This matter is on hold for now. Little Ma, what did Wind Walker ask for from you?" Hong Zhen, upon receiving the report, was not surprised. The Azure Blue Star Alliance indeed did not have much research on 'wind.'
"Hong Zhen, it should be said that the Traveler asked for it from me."
Brother Ma took out more than ten wind-type seed cores and a data report, then said, "A few days ago, the Traveler asked me to buy a batch of wind-type seed cores. Don't worry, he doesn't intend to hoard them. He only needs one of each star-level core, no duplicates. Yesterday, the Traveler asked me to receive a friend called Wind Walker and said I could hand over all the cores to him."
"Then the shallow sea battle?" a general was puzzled.
Brother Ma was a bit embarrassed and said, "Recently, buying seed cores has cost some money, and the accounts are a bit tight. The Traveler heard this and asked Wind Walker to do a live broadcast to earn some money to buy the cores."
Hong Zhen patted Little Ma's shoulder and said, "It's hard for you. I'll have the butler follow up on this matter."
The generals were a bit embarrassed.
They could all hear Hong Zhen's dissatisfaction.
A journalist was working hard to attract talent for Tianyang, and his expenses were insufficient. They, a group of wealthy aristocrats, had nothing to do but eat and drink, and they looked down on such a small person. Hong Zhen, upon hearing this, was naturally angry.
"Far from enough." Hong Zhen glanced at the report and patted it. "There are nearly a hundred one-star cores, and you only have forty-eight. And for the four, five, and six-star cores, you only have a few..."
Halfway through, Hong Zhen suddenly stopped, and the entire space became completely still.
It was as if time had suddenly paused. Everyone stared at each other, but their bodies did not move. Hong Zhen quickly reacted, breaking free from the air's restraint and slightly moving his body. At this moment, a young man's arm reached out from behind.
The target was that report.
