This was Chi Yun Su’s first time riding an aircraft. The sensation was quite different from flying on a plane, perhaps because this aircraft was primarily used for transporting garbage, making the overall ride relatively smooth. Due to the lack of passengers, it was also quite spacious.
On the aircraft’s public display screen, a major incident was being broadcast: the Zuo Building had been attacked, the structure had collapsed, and Zuo Wen, the leader of the Zuo Corporation, had gone missing.
Chi Yun Su glanced at the screen. The report stated that the attack had been carried out by the Hunting Organization and released portraits of the four masterminds.
They were all completely unfamiliar faces, but Chi Yun Su intuitively felt that the last middle-aged man was likely ‘Guo Ruofan.’ His eyes appeared unusually clear, not at all what one would expect from someone of his age.
Unfortunately, the news reported that only two of the masterminds had been captured so far, and ‘Guo Ruofan’ was not among them.
Chi Yun Su felt no particular emotion about this, only a slight regret that the Card she had thrown at him seemed to have had no effect.
However, that had been nothing more than a casual attempt on her part. After absorbing all the information from the news report, Chi Yun Su became curious about the Hunting Organization mentioned. But to avoid exposing her ignorance on the matter, she kept her curiosity to herself and did not ask anyone about it.
The news segment soon ended, and Chi Yun Su lowered her head to continue reading the notes in her hand.
Several hours later, the aircraft arrived at Wanjin City. Chi Yun Su shouldered her empty backpack and disembarked.
This was the city the Supervisor had mentioned to her, where her identity issue could supposedly be resolved. However, Chi Yun Su had no intention of following the Supervisor’s advice.
For Chi Yun Su, the Supervisor’s information served primarily as a source of inspiration for changing her identity.
If a place like Wanjin City existed on Yuanfeng Star, then surely other planets would have similar locations. Wanjin City was not her only option.
Chi Yun Su trusted the Inspector who had written her recommendation letter because it carried a faint trace of the Inspector’s psychic energy, which could not be forged. In other words, if Chi Yun Su did anything improper and the letter was discovered by others, the Inspector would also bear the risk.
But as for the Supervisor…
Chi Yun Su had absolutely no trust in him.
Moreover, Chi Yun Su still needed to go to Changhe Star.
The identity information for ‘Rune Mountain’ indicated graduation from Changhe Industrial University. Nothing could be more reasonable than using this identity to return to Changhe Star.
After learning that Lu Wei was most likely on Changhe Star, Chi Yun Su had already decided not to change her identity for the time being. After all, she only had this one legitimate and lawful opportunity to alter her identity, and she needed to cherish it.
Without leaving the terminal, Chi Yun Su directly purchased a ticket from Wanjin City to Yuanfeng City.
The capital city of Yuanfeng Star, Yuanfeng City, did not capture Chi Yun Su’s attention for long. A day later, using all the wages and bonuses she had earned from the Cleaning Company—totaling approximately 170,000 star coins—she bought a starship ticket to Changhe Star.
One could say Chi Yun Su had saved the entire Cleaning Company at F171 Port, and the reward she received amounted to just this sum of money. Previously, the funds she had prepared to bribe the Cleaning Company employee totaled only around 110,000 to 120,000 star coins, which was already equivalent to three years’ income for that employee without food or expenses.The income of Cleaning Company employees was already considered quite high on Yuanfeng Star.
After all, working in Black Port was a risky endeavor.
The cost of interstellar travel tickets was prohibitively expensive for people of this era, and many never left the planet they were born on.
Under such circumstances, there weren’t actually many people boarding or disembarking from each starship, making it easy to clearly see everyone’s appearance.
Carrying her simple backpack, Chi Yun Su stood silently at the entrance, watching the passengers disembark from the starship. Her gaze eventually met a pair of very familiar eyes.
Looking at the man who had changed his appearance yet again, Chi Yun Su remained silent, as did he. After a brief exchange of glances, the man walked straight toward Yuanfeng City, just like the other elite passengers disembarking from the starship.
Chi Yun Su also acted as if she had seen nothing, calmly following the other passengers as she boarded the starship. Faintly, she could hear the other passengers chattering.
“Isn’t that the leader of the Zuo family who was previously reported missing? So he wasn’t actually on Yuanfeng Star at all?”
“What a clever move. It looks like the Hunting Organization suffered a major loss.”
Indeed, the person Chi Yun Su had just seen bore the face of Zuo Wen, the leader of the Zuo family, as shown in the news on the aircraft.
Impersonation?
The thought crossed Chi Yun Su’s mind, and then it truly passed.
For her, since ‘Guo Ruofan’ had disembarked from the starship wearing that face, it at least meant he couldn’t have tampered with this starship.
The starship was safe to board.
Chi Yun Su quickly reached this conclusion.
As for ‘Guo Ruofan’ knowing she was leaving…
This starship wasn’t a direct flight; it passed through multiple planets along the way. There was no way ‘Guo Ruofan’ could know exactly where she would disembark.
Chi Yun Su felt no psychological burden about accidentally encountering ‘Guo Ruofan.’ After boarding the starship, she didn’t even go to her rest cabin and instead headed straight to the activity room.
The journey on this starship was expected to take twenty days, and Chi Yun Su had no intention of simply waiting it out.
She had spent all her money on the starship ticket and now had only two hundred star coins left. If she didn’t want to struggle financially on Changhe Star, she needed to start earning money.
Coincidentally, about ninety percent of the passengers who could afford to travel by starship were wealthy.
What perfect targets for making money.
In the lounge, Chi Yun Su set up her notebook from her backpack and arranged a simple, makeshift stall.
—Card repairs. If it can be fixed, it will be fixed. If it can’t, it’s free.
The staff in the activity room were stunned when they saw the sign Chi Yun Su had placed on her seat, unsure how to react.
Having served on starships for so many years, this was the first time they had encountered such a scene. After hesitating briefly, they approached her and asked politely, “Excuse me, passenger, are you facing any difficulties?”
In response to the staff’s tactful inquiry, Chi Yun Su replied straightforwardly, speaking with utmost sincerity, “Yes, I’m experiencing some financial difficulties.”
The starship staff member: “…”
Well, that made sense.The starship staff didn’t know how to respond to Chi Yun Su’s words, but the other passengers already in the activity room were amused by what she said.
One well-dressed middle-aged passenger took out a purple card from his pocket and, smiling at Chi Yun Su as if coaxing a child, said, “Little girl, can you fix this card? If you can’t fix it, it’ll be free, you know.”
