A small fleet consisting of two large civilian spaceships and five Chamber of Commerce-level medium-scale military escort battleships jumped out of the huge stargate located 263 light-years away from West Cloud Planet at a 29° angle bearing from the Galactic Center.
This huge stargate called the Mountain and Sea Pass by the Earth Federation and known as Namucuo in the Kingdom of Kexley—the name of the Guardian Giant in the legend of the Kingdom of Kexley-was located between the Earth Federation and the Kingdom of Kexley’s Star Field border, labeled as L1690T.
Due to its special location, the L1690T stargate had become an extremely important stargate to the Earth Federation and the Kingdom of Kexley. It had also become the most important channel for business communication between the two countries. It was extremely busy at almost every moment.
However, when this small fleet jumped out of the stargate, all the commercial fleets could only obediently retreat to the side and move out for this fleet, waiting patiently for it to leave.
The reason was very simple. This fleet clearly displayed on the ranking list of the stargate that it had the symbol of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, representing the officials of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.
To all the small countries at the periphery of the spiral arm, the Declan Empire was the target they could not provoke and be wary of. The Noctem Chamber of Commerce was the target they should curry favor with.
The Declan Empire had the strongest martial arts system in the Milky Way. It had thousands of terrifying Star-Grade Martial Artists who could destroy small countries like them with a flick of their fingers.
On the other hand, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had the strongest modern scientific technology in the entire Milky Way. If they could obtain some technical help from the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, it would be of great importance to increase the technology level of the entire country.
This was clearly much more important to these civilian businessmen.
Therefore, after seeing this small fleet representing the Noctem Chamber of Commerce jump out of the stargate, the merchant fleets from the Earth Federation, the Kexley Kingdom, and the other small countries surrounding the stargate not only willingly gave up their positions, but they also racked their minds to greet this fleet and take the opportunity to pull strings.
However, after this fleet jumped out of the stargate, they did not stop at all. They immediately accelerated at full speed and quickly entered the super-time mode, disappearing into the vast sea of stars. They did not give any commercial fleets a chance to approach and greet them.
Rubes retracted his gaze from the window and turned to look at Elkart behind him. He smiled and said, “Do you believe that if not for the five corvettes following us, those guys would have probably surrounded us? It won’t be so easy to leave.”
They had just ended their inspection of the Earth Federation. Now that they had passed through this stargate, as long as they performed another stargate jump, they could enter the Kingdom of Kexley and begin their inspection.
When the inspection work of the Kingdom of Kexley was over, it meant that all the inspection work they had done on the periphery of the Orion Arm was over.
Due to the fact that the previous inspection work had been very smooth and that there were no problems, Rubes’s tone was very relaxed.
However, Elkart still had his head lowered as he looked at the rows of data sliding down at high speed on the virtual screen of his personal terminal. He did not react to the words.
Rubes shrugged helplessly.
Elkart was this habit. As long as he started to process the data, he would be completely immersed and ignore everything that happened in the outside world.
He thought for a moment, then sat down opposite Elkart. He sipped his favorite blueberry juice while waiting for him to finish the job at hand.
After about ten minutes, the data on the virtual screen in front of Elkart stopped. He finally retracted his gaze and looked up, looking puzzled and a little lost.
Rubes was surprised.
He had worked with Elkart for so long, but he had never seen him show such an expression.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Elkart frowned slightly, shook his head, and looked at Rubes.
“I’ll show you some of the data I just received.”
Rubes was stunned. What data did he need to see?
Elkart operated his personal terminal, and dozens of data documents appeared on the virtual screen.
Rubes focused his gaze and discovered that these dozens of data documents were all human data reports.
“What’s there to see?” Rubes was puzzled.
“The name of the person in the reports,” Elkart reminded.
“Oh? What’s so rare…” Rubes glanced and was immediately stunned,” Chu Nan? Why is it him
again?”
“Look carefully,” Elkart reminded him again.
Rubes frowned. He knew that Elkart would definitely not do those meaningless things, so he looked at these reports seriously.
Similar to the dozen or so human data reports called Chu Nan that had attracted their attention last time, the reports presented in front of Rubes were also continuously produced.
However, compared to the previous time, the time period was much longer this time. The gap between the first and last set was as long as 5 hours and 42 minutes on Earth. With his previous experience, Rubes focused his attention on the data changes produced by each report. After reading more than ten copies in a row, Rubes immediately noticed a problem.
In these human body data reports, there were no obvious changes in the other human data related to Chu Nan, but there was a very obvious increase in the activity of blood vessels and cells.
Compared to the first and last report, Chu Nan’s vascular cell activity had actually increased by more than three times! “How is this possible?!” After reading the detailed data on the last report, Rubes could not help but cry out in surprise.
Previously, after seeing the dozen or so human body data reports that Chu Nan had produced in a short period of time, although he was surprised, the data that Chu Nan had clearly increased last time was mainly related to his muscle strength. It could be said that he had used a special method or even a method that had an extremely strong negative effect like certain special drugs.
However, this time, Chu Nan’s main improvement was actually blood vessel cell activity! This was something that even the Noctem Chamber of Commerce could not do with their super technology in the human body, let alone a remote small country like the Earth Federation.
However, the truth was in front of Rubes’s eyes, so he had no choice but to believe it. “Hey, Elkart, is the mainframe A.I. on West Cloud Planet really fine?”
Elkart glanced at him and shrugged. “In any case, Director Lyons said that there’s no problem.”
“There’s really no problem?” Rubes stared at the data on the virtual screen with a deep frown.
Elkart looked at him strangely.
“Rubes, why are you so nervous? In my opinion, it’s nothing more than this person called Chu Nan from the Earth Federation cultivating a special martial technique.” “No…” Rubes slowly shook his head,” Elkart, although you can see that these numbers are wrong, you’re not a martial artist after all. You don’t understand the true meaning of these numbers. If all the relevant data about Chu Nan is true, it proves that he has likely reached a domain that almost no martial artist can touch.
“Is it that exaggerated?” Elkart was stunned, “From the data, he’s at most an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist.”
“It’s precisely because he’s only an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist that his uniqueness is revealed.” Rubes pondered for a moment before opening his personal terminal and sending out two commands respectively. Then, he said to Elkart, “I’ve already ordered the Earth’s Federation Branch Office to increase the level of attention they pay to Chu Nan. In addition, Elkart, I’ll get Lyons to arrange all the data related to Chu Nan. I’ll send it to you in a while and you can help me deal with it.”
“Alright.” Although Elkart was a little puzzled, he still nodded when he saw Rubes’s serious expression. Then, his heart stirred and he asked, “Rubes, do you still remember what I told you last time? The small country of the Earth Federation is different from the other small countries in the Milky Way. Would it often create miracles? Do you think… this Chu Nan will also create miracles and might become a Star-Grade Martial Artist in the future?”
Rubes thought for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
“If it was before today, I would tell you that it’s impossible. But now…” Rubes’s gaze landed on the data on the virtual screen of Elkart’s personal terminal with a complicated expression.
“I don’t know…”
