I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 791 - 552: Dreamscape, Subspace Crisis

A gentle breeze blew in front of the carved door of the private clubhouse.

Qin Tian extended his hand to shake with Leng Qianjun, a smile lightly touching his lips: "Brother Leng, Miss Leng, I’m delighted to meet both of you today. I believe we have many opportunities for collaboration ahead."

Leng Qianjun’s expression turned serious: "Naturally. With the Pluto development plan imminent, Brother Qin is the core leader. The Leng family’s future layout on Pluto will rely greatly on Brother Qin."

These words were not mere pleasantries.

Before Qin Tian took charge of Ice Extreme Pass, the greatest power on Pluto wasn’t the Luoho Clan but the Leng Family, which possessed the extreme cold bloodline.

That bone-chilling Purgatory environment, a forbidden land to others, was a natural cultivation treasure place for the Leng Family.

However, for many years, Pluto could only serve as a place for bloodline nourishment, with negligible economic benefits, until the discovery of the Cold Tree made Pluto the Empire’s hottest planet overnight—the economic belt surrounding the Royal star welcomed a new boom, with massive immigration, capital, and resources rushing into what was once barren land.

For the Leng Family, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rise.

Thanks to their deep-rooted layout on Pluto in earlier years, they had a first-mover advantage over other Holy Blood Clans, yet all of this hinged on catching this fast-moving train.

And Qin Tian was the most critical figure among them.

Only by forming a close connection with the discoverer and cultivator of the Cold Tree could they acquire enough resources to support the construction of new city clusters, turning their advantage into concrete developmental momentum.

Therefore, this transaction was not just an exchange of goods; it was a strategic move by Leng Qianjun to create a family alliance and maintain friendships, benefiting both public interests and private concerns immensely.

Qin Tian chuckled lightly: "Brother Leng, you’re too kind. The development of Pluto is a top-level plan of the Empire. I’m just one participant. However, if I can join hands with the Leng Family to push the development of Pluto, I would be more than willing."

"You two stop being so polite to each other, it’s too fake." Leng Xiaoyu, listening to their conversation, interjected with a pout.

"Xiaoyu." Leng Qianjun frowned slightly and gently reproached, then turned his head with a touch of helplessness, "Apologies, this girl is spoiled by the family."

"Haha, Miss Leng is speaking the truth." Qin Tian laughed.

He also realized that he had become more adept at saying these formalities, something completely impossible when he had first transmigrated.

At that time, feeling too weak, he could only protect himself with aloofness and detachment, like an emotionless robot.

But as he grew along the way, he gradually understood that the higher one stands, the more limited one becomes when fighting alone.

The world of martial arts is not just about fighting and killings but human relationships and worldly affairs.

Only by weaving a stable network of interests and forming deep bonds with various forces can he stabilize his status and pave a smoother path forward.

"Brother Qin, hearing that you have other important matters, we won’t bother you further today." Leng Qianjun solemnly said, "Next time we meet, I’ll host and invite Qingqiu, Xiaofeng, and the others. They always remember the life-saving grace you offered at the Ice God Relic and want to find an opportunity to thank you in person."

"There’s no need to talk about repayment; we are all friends, and helping each other is expected. But I do want to catch up with them." Qin Tian smiled, "When I return to the Royal star for duties next, I’ll be sure to inform Brother Leng first thing."

"It’s a deal."

Leng Qianjun watched as Qin Tian boarded the flying device, and even as the engines roared into the night sky, his gaze remained unwavering.

"Brother, are you still thinking about Dark Moon and Soul Cutter?" Leng Xiaoyu gently nudged his arm, comforting him, "Don’t be downhearted. Besides these two, aren’t there other Ten Great Guns? At the last Christie’s auction, that ’Storm,’ I’ll have someone look into it later. No matter how much it costs, I’ll buy it for you!"

"Don’t bother." Leng Qianjun glanced at her, "The ’Storm’ was bought by Qin Tian."

"What? How do you know?" Leng Xiaoyu’s eyes widened.

"You forgot? After the auction ended, we ran into Qin Tian and Dongfang Haoyue at the entrance. Besides him, I can’t think of anyone else who’s so obsessed with the Ten Great Guns."

"Oh, that’s how it is..." Leng Xiaoyu was full of doubts, "But he’s able to kill Tier Seven Holy Blood experts, for someone at that level, aren’t the Ten Great Guns just toys? Could it be that he’s like you, a hardcore gun fanatic?"

"Maybe, who knows?"

Leng Qianjun patted her shoulder, "Let’s go. The purpose of this meeting is achieved, and you can report back to Qingqiu."

"Got it!"

...

In the enclosed space, the lighting was cold, and the silver-white liquid metal surged like a living creature, completely enveloping the Dark Moon and Soul Cutter guns.

A dense shimmer flashed across the surface of the liquid metal, and with a sizzling sound, the guns’ patterns rapidly merged with the molecular structure of the liquid metal. In no time, the two guns were absorbed into Robert’s body.

"Three great guns in total, you gluttonous giant beast~" Qin Tian couldn’t help but sigh.

Storm, Dark Moon, Soul Cutter

All three guns capable of killing Tier Seven experts were absorbed into Robert. To be honest, he still felt a bit of heartache.

However, according to Robert, this so-called "fusion" wasn’t about completely consuming and annihilating the guns but using the power of liquid silver to achieve "qualitative change."

As long as Robert is willing, the three great guns could separate from him at any time, and their performance would not only be uncompromised but also be enhanced by the fortification of the liquid silver metal, becoming even more formidable.

Thinking this way, he felt much more relieved.
