"My name is Su Yi, as you probably already know. Now that the contract is signed, we'll likely be spending a lot of time together. I don't even know your name yet."
In his bedroom on Blue Star, Su Yi looked at the Star Caller before him—a goddess with long, water-blue hair and a figure as stunning as a painting—and asked.
"My name? It's been a long time since anyone asked me that," the Star Caller mused for a moment.
"My original name was Weed. If you like, you can call me that."
"Weed..." Su Yi hadn't expected that one of the top combatants in the magical world would have such a casual name.
But when he thought about her background and the situation in the magical world, it seemed quite reasonable.
After all, hybrids were discriminated against and rejected in the magical world, unloved by either side of their family.
Weren't they as insignificant as weeds?
Whether Su Yi liked the name or not was secondary; the main thing was that he could clearly see the Star Caller definitely didn't like it.
He wasn't stupid enough to actually call her that just because she said he could.
Looking at the purple robe embroidered with stars she was wearing, Su Yi had a flash of inspiration.
"Weed is too casual a name. How about I give you a name from our world?"
The Star Caller didn't seem to care much about such things. She was currently examining the bedroom environment and simply said "Oh" when she heard this, indicating he could do as he pleased.
Anyway, names didn't mean much to her.
In the magical world, there weren't many people who would call her by her name directly. After all, everyone only had one life, and the whole world knew that the Star Caller hated that humble name that implied inferiority from birth.
"Let's call you Xing Hen (Star Scar)."
"Xing Hen..." The Star Caller had already used the World Language Comprehension Card, so she naturally understood what the two words meant. She seemed a little interested and turned to Su Yi, saying,
"Does it have any meaning?"
"No," Su Yi shrugged.
"I saw the trajectories of stars on your clothes, so I called you Xing Hen. Mostly because it sounds good."
The Star Caller nodded, not saying much.
"Then in this world, I'll be called Xing Hen."
Su Yi felt that this woman was a bit like a emotionless doll, like a robot without feelings. She didn't seem to care about anything other than whether Blue Star was suitable for those hybrids to live on.
"Want to go out and take a look?"
Seeing her looking around with such curiosity, Su Yi suggested.
Xing Hen walked to the window and opened the curtains.
"What is there to see so late?"
This place was in the suburbs, and the villa faced a lake.
At this time, opening the curtains would naturally reveal nothing but darkness.
"It's only a little past eleven. The nightlife is just beginning," Su Yi called out.
"Let's go. I'll have Yue Ling take you out for a stroll. I have something to do and need to go to the trading space. Tomorrow, I'll figure out a way to solve your identity problem."
"Okay!"
Xing Hen still had no expression, looking as if she would let Su Yi arrange everything.
Yue Ling had been prepared for the arrival of the Star Caller. Moreover, as an Elf Princess and a girl, it would be easier for her to communicate with Xing Hen than for Su Yi.
It just so happened that Su Yi still needed to go to the trading space to complete today's transaction with White Deer, and he didn't have time to chat with Xing Hen right now.
...
After arranging for this famous legendary powerhouse from the magical world, Su Yi turned around and entered the trading space again.
"You've finally arrived. Do you know how long I've been waiting?"
As soon as he entered, White Deer's complaint reached his ears.
Su Yi quickly apologized with a smile.
"I'm really sorry, something came up."
"How did you feel about those magical foods and Waters of Life I gave you last time?"
"Hmph, remember to be on time next time," White Deer snorted lightly, then said,
"The effects are really good, and according to what you said, different people absorb these things at different rates. I personally tested it, and it's true."
"Now, even if I don't wear power armor, I should be able to punch you to death."
"It's just being late, no need to kill me," Su Yi's mouth twitched.
"I've already gotten the other batch of magical foods and Waters of Life I promised you. What are you going to trade for them?"
Her situation was different from Wei Wei's. Wei Wei had a high status in the magical world, and she could collect anything she wanted within the specified time.
Wei Wei basically knew in her heart what she couldn't gather.
So when Su Yi traded with Wei Wei, he could make reservations in advance, and then directly take the previously agreed-upon trade items when the time came.
But White Deer's status in her world was obviously not high.
The good things Su Yi wanted, she could only get by snatching, so there was no such thing as a reservation.
What she could bring out to trade completely depended on what she had recently snatched.
"I snatched a cross-stellar mega-corp's intelligence brain a few days ago. The Qingyu Star area has been cracking down on these things recently, so it's not easy to do," White Deer scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"But the military equipment that the Federation issued to our brigade has arrived. I can give you 10 sets of the Federation's near-Earth orbit troops' standard Hail-class power armor, and three Knight-class landing craft. I don't know if you're interested."
Military equipment?
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
Military equipment is good!
He quickly asked,
"What about the power armor? What about the landing craft?"
"The Hail-class power armor isn't really anything good on our side. Its main purpose is to drop the orbital airborne brigade, which acts as the vanguard, from near-Earth orbit to the surface when dealing with enemies on other planets."
"It's barely considered good among power armors of the same level, and the armor's defensive capabilities are okay. The built-in energy shield is also so-so compared to others of the same level."
"The advantage is that the technology is mature, durable, and can maintain combat effectiveness for a long time in extremely harsh conditions with no external supplies. Its self-sufficiency is extremely strong..."
"In short, it's an average piece of equipment, but it's cheap and cost-effective."
"The standard weapon is an electromagnetic rifle with five hundred rounds of ammunition. The power source is a third-generation micro-fusion reactor, which has decent output power and is the most valuable thing in the entire power armor. There's also a primary military intelligent AI assistant built in, but it doesn't really make much of a difference."
"As for the landing craft, it has a full load of 1000 tons and can reach speeds of over the third cosmic velocity. It's usually used when our airborne brigade needs to be sent to seize ground control after the starship has completed its ground strikes. If you lack ground-to-space transportation capabilities, this is a good thing. Like the Hail-class power armor, the technology is mature, durable, and easy to repair except for the core components."
