Boom!
The heavy alloy door slammed shut behind them, completely sealing off the yellow sand and scent of blood from the outside world.
Inside the luxurious suite on the top floor of the lord's mansion, only a few people remained.
Outside the door, Old K and several hundred elite soldiers blocked the corridor so tightly that not even a fly could get through.
With no outsiders present, the madness in Li Ruobing's bones could no longer be restrained.
"Confess honestly! Did you pick up any wild women out there?"
Li Ruobing cupped Qin Yu's face in her hands, her eyes fierce, yet her eye sockets were red and swollen.
"I was fighting for my life out there. When would I have had time to look for wild women?"
"With you few juice extractors, my life is already being sucked dry."
Li Ruobing spat out a curse, then lowered her head and bit Qin Yu's neck fiercely.
Only after leaving a clear, bloody bite mark did she raise her head with satisfaction, tears streaming down her face.
"Good, you know what's good for you! If you dare die out there, I'll remarry with your ashes!"
Qin Yu burst into loud laughter.
"Remarry? Who in this universe would dare touch my woman? I'd blow their planet to dust."
Elena silently walked over to the sofa.
"Master, you've lost weight, but your muscle density has increased."
Elena lifted her ice-blue eyes, her tone filled with fervent attachment and absolute submission.
Outside, she was the Valkyrie Captain who could tear apart mechas with her bare hands.
But before Qin Yu, she was just a Persian cat waiting for her master to stroke her fur.
Yao Xue held two glasses of premium red wine, handing one to Qin Yu.
Today, she wore a tight-fitting black combat uniform, yet it still couldn't conceal her exquisite long legs wrapped in Black Silk Stockings.
"Ruo Bing, come down quickly. Don't crush him." Yao Xue's voice was gentle, her eyes filled with heartache.
Yao Qian obediently moved behind the sofa, massaging Qin Yu's shoulders.
"Qin Yu, you were so cool up in the sky just now! Those dozens of ships were all gone in an instant!"
Yao Qian wore White Silk Stockings, her voice soft and sweet, her eyes sparkling like stars.
Qin Yu downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp, casually tossing the wine glass onto the carpet.
"Enough talk. Is the bed in this lord's mansion big enough?"
Li Ruobing's cheeks instantly flushed hot, and she punched Qin Yu's chest hard. "Bastard! The moment we meet, you're already thinking about that!"
Two hours later.
Elena struggled to sit up, grabbing a holographic tablet.
"Master, the inventory results for Planet K-76 are in."
"Besides the 120,000 Plunder Points, we discovered a premium High-Energy Crystal Core vein 300 meters underground."
"The estimated reserves exceed 100,000 units, all of A-grade purity or higher!"
Qin Yu's eyes suddenly lit up as he exhaled a dense cloud of smoke.
His weapon, [Netherworld: Death's Kiss], was in desperate need of High-Energy Crystal Cores to replenish its energy!
If he could devour all 100,000 High-Energy Crystal Cores, it would definitely fill the deficit and even unlock new features again!
"Well done!" Qin Yu kissed Elena's sweat-drenched forehead.
"Notify Old K. Have those 3,000 captives outside descend into the mines and start digging overnight!"
"As you command." Elena nodded obediently.
At the same time.
Wasteland Era, Central District, Absolute Core Star Sector.
There were no planets here, only a massive metal space station floating in the depths of the cosmos.
The headquarters of the Interstellar Law Council.
Around a dimly lit round table sat five blurry holographic projections.
They were the absolute high-level authorities who controlled the Underlying Rules of the entire region—The Administrators.
At the center of the round table, a restored optical recording was playing on repeat.
It was the terrifying scene of the Tyrant Planet-Destroyer Ship unleashing a single volley from its secondary cannons, instantly vaporizing fifty Blood-Skull Warships!
The image froze on the Tyrant's 120,000-meter-long black hull, sharp as a blade of starlight.
Dead silence filled the room.
Bang!
Administrator One slammed a fist onto the virtual tabletop, his voice twisted with extreme panic.
"Can someone explain to me? What the hell is this thing!"
"A 120,000-meter-long SSS-grade Planet-annihilator ship? It's absolutely impossible for anyone to build a warship of this level in the current version!"
Administrator Two was a half-mechanical cyborg, his Electronic Eyes flickering wildly as he scanned the data.
"Checked. It's that Qin Yu from Sector 9527."
"The regional barrier shattered entirely because he's exploiting loopholes in the rules!"
"The issues with this kid completely ignore our underlying logic code!"
"He's a cheating dog who disregards all laws!"
Administrator Three sneered, twirling a high-dimensional metal cane in his hand.
"The Blood-Skull Fleet were our dogs out there collecting protection fees. You don't hit a dog without looking at its master."
"Now he not only instantly wiped out our dogs, but also forcibly seized K-76 Mining Planet."
"Beneath that mining planet lie 100,000 High-Energy Crystal Cores, our strategic reserve meant to power the 'Planet-Destroyer Orbital Cannon'!"
Administrator Four was a delicate-looking woman with a sinister air. She licked her lips with a crimson tongue.
"This kid is a massive variable."
"He holds too many variables in his hands. If we let him keep killing and creating more rule-grade weapons, we'll be next to die."
"We can't keep sending pirates to their deaths in small skirmishes like before."
Administrator One took a deep breath, his holographic face turning vicious.
"Activate the highest-level Law Cleansing Program!"
"Notify the three top-tier financial conglomerates in the Central District, and the top ten Plunderer joint fleets."
"Issue a region-wide highest-level bounty!"
Administrator One stood up abruptly, sweeping a hand through the air.
"Bounty: 50 million Plunder Value! Plus one pass into high-dimensional Space and one preparatory seat as an Administrator!"
The other four collectively drew a sharp breath.
An Administrator seat? This was directly handing over the highest authority of the Central District!
Administrator Two frowned. "Is such a heavy price necessary?"
"Absolutely!" Administrator One gnashed his teeth, his voice icy and piercing.
"He can conjure a Planet-annihilator ship out of thin air; he must also possess individual weapons that ignore the rules!"
"Immediately sever all Jump channels within 100,000 kilometers around K-76 Mining Planet!"
"Deploy the 'Absolute Spatial Interference Field' and seal that mining planet completely!"
"I want to turn that broken ship of his into a blind and paralyzed wreck in space!"
The delicate woman giggled, a chilling sound.
"I'll contact the 'Abyssal Maw' Corps right away. They have hundreds of S-Class interstellar battleships at their disposal."
"Combined with the private armies of the major financial conglomerates, assembling a joint fleet of three thousand warships won't be a problem."
"Even if his Planet-annihilator ship is powerful, its energy reserves are limited."
"Throw lives at him, drain him with the main cannons! Even if it takes attrition, we'll wear him down to death on that dead star!"
The first Administrator nodded in satisfaction, a trace of nauseating cruelty flashing in his eyes.
"And also, investigate the identities of those women around him."
"Especially that short-haired woman with the knife, and that blonde foreign mare with the mechanical prosthetic."
"If there's a chance, send in special assassination squads and capture them alive for me."
"These cheaters who clawed their way up from the bottom have only one weakness—they care too much about feelings."
"I want to strip his women naked and throw them into the reaction furnace right in front of him!"
The orders were instantly issued on the dark web.
Throughout the Central District, this massive and cruel war machine began operating with utter frenzy.
Countless massive fleets lurking deep within the dark nebulae began tearing through Space.
The dense trails of warship engines, like bloodthirsty fireflies, surged toward the K-76 mining planet in a frenzied Warp Jump!
A tight, impenetrable net of death was spreading toward Qin Yu.
K-76 Mining Planet, Lord's Mansion Bedroom.
Qin Yu leaned against the headboard, leisurely smoking a cigar.
In his mind, the System's piercing alarm suddenly blared without warning!
[Ding! Red Alert!]
[Detected ultra-large-scale law-level spatial lockdown field! K-76 Mining Planet has been forcibly isolated!]
[All Jump channels have been severed! Current coordinates cannot be used for jumping!]
[Warning! Deep-space Radar has detected three thousand high-dimensional Warp Jump signals approaching!]
[Enemy faction: Central District Joint Fleet!]
Qin Yu's hand holding the cigar abruptly paused.
Li Ruobing, who had been sleeping soundly, was jolted awake by the piercing air raid sirens outside the window.
She sat up sharply, pulling the blanket over her chest, her eyes instantly erupting with intense killing intent.
"What's going on? Are there more blind fools coming to die?"
Qin Yu threw off the covers, strode barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the sky.
The outer layer of the originally crimson mining planet's atmosphere was now rapidly being enveloped by a thick, dark green energy shield.
That was the Absolute Lockdown line, capable of severing all Spatial Leaps!
In the sky, densely packed points of light were rapidly enlarging.
Those were three thousand top-tier warships armed to the teeth!
For any other survivor, facing an encirclement of this scale would have driven them to shoot themselves in terror.
But Qin Yu did not panic.
Gazing at the enemy ships filling the sky, the corners of his mouth instead stretched to his ears, revealing a ferocious grin a hundred times more brutal than any Tyrant's.
"Good."
"I was just worried that the over three million Starburst Points I just saved up wouldn't be enough to spend."
Qin Yu crushed the cigar in his hand, his eyes burning with a mad, all-consuming fighting spirit.
"The delivery has arrived."
Qin Yu turned to look at the four women on the bed who were already quickly donning their combat uniforms.
"Notify Su Tian, preheat the Tyrant's main cannon, and fully release the restrictions on all eight hundred secondary cannons."
"Today, I'm going to give these high-and-mighty Administrators of the Central District."
"The biggest fireworks show in the entire universe!"
