After speaking in the group, Lin Yao put away her holographic device. In fact, besides the six members of the Mingguang Team, there was one more person she wanted to take with her.
Once back in the dormitory, Lin Yao found Youmi. "Youmi, do you want to join the Star Alliance?"
Upon hearing this, Youmi's eyes widened in surprise. Without needing a response, Lin Yao could already see her eagerness from her reaction.
"The star network of Yunmeng Star has been restricted by aliens. I want to give you a chance to experience the outside world. If possible, I hope you can learn advanced technologies from other planets and help build a star network for Yunmeng Star. Would you be willing to be the first person to establish this network?"
Youmi instantly forgot her social anxiety and exclaimed excitedly, "I’m willing!"
"Great! Pack your things; in a few days, we’ll prepare to join the Star Alliance! Also, for convenience during our travels, you will temporarily join our Mingguang Team. After we return, you can decide whether to stay or leave."
"I’m willing to be a member of the Mingguang Team and won’t leave!" She declared earnestly, her cute face filled with determination.
Lin Yao smiled slightly. "Then welcome to the Mingguang Team!"
While Lin Yao was speaking with Youmi, she didn’t notice that through a wall, a flash of resentment crossed Ye Yun’s eyes.
Three days later, Lin Yao brought the seven members of the Mingguang Team aboard a starship heading to the Star Alliance, riding on a medium-level civilization ship from Ruylan.
"Congratulations on resolving your physical issues." When they met, Lin Yao calmly said congratulations while looking at Su Rui, whose figure had transformed from a lanky appearance into someone completely different.
At that moment, Su Rui no longer resembled an ordinary person from Yunmeng Star; instead, he was now a sunny young man with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, golden hair, and blue irises.
Noticing that she didn’t seem surprised, Su Rui felt curious. "Thank you! Thanks to you. But I’m a bit curious—aren’t you surprised by my transformation?"
"When I first saw you, I thought your appearance felt somewhat out of place. Later on, I heard Academician Zheng mention that most people from Ruylan’s medium-level civilization are Caucasian and quite different from the Caucasians of Yunmeng Star. So I guessed that you must have used some kind of disguise technology."
Su Rui's expression fell slightly. "I intentionally didn’t mention it before leaving because I wanted to surprise you when we met again. I didn’t expect you to guess everything; that’s quite disappointing."
Lin Yao smiled without sincerity. "If I spoiled your surprise, then I truly apologize."
Su Rui waved his hand graciously. "No worries! Just as it happens, I've encountered some issues with my experiments. If you could help me with my research again, I’ll forgive you."
"That’s no problem."
"Haha! We can discuss that in detail later; for now, let me show you to your cabins." Su Rui chuckled and led Lin Yao and the others inside.
The technology of the medium-level civilization's starship was significantly more advanced than that of Yunmeng Star.
From the outside, it appeared to be a small starship, but the internal space was much larger than it seemed.
As if sensing the confusion among the group, Su Rui explained, "This is a common spatial expansion technology used by intermediate civilizations, capable of expanding the actual space up to five times its size."
While Su Rui was explaining, Lin Yao heard the announcement: "Sign-in point discovered: [Ruilan Intermediate Civilization Starship Lans I]. Would you like to use this sign-in point?"
Her heart raced; indeed, this was a product of intermediate civilization technology. The first sign-in point she encountered was already a high-level one. Fortunately, she had prepared for this.
Knowing about the Star Alliance, after delivering that batch of medicine formulas and weapon blueprints to Academician Zheng, she had refrained from using any of the subsequent sign-in points recklessly. She saved them all for a grand sign-in at the Star Alliance to acquire advanced technologies from others.
Now, this was one such opportunity. After choosing to sign in, the system announced: "Sign-in successful; you have obtained spatial expansion technology."
She felt a surge of joy at having acquired new technology, though her expression remained calm.
In contrast to Lin Yao's quiet fortune, the members of the Mingguang team were left in shock by the vast technological gap they had just learned about.
Once restricted, Yunmeng Star's spatial technology had been reduced to ordinary spatial devices that could not isolate breath—leftovers from other primary civilizations that had been dumped onto Yunmeng Star. To prevent their research institute from deciphering the technology behind these devices, safety locks were installed on all of them; any attempt to dismantle one would trigger self-destruction.
This led to a situation where while other technologies on Yunmeng Star were advancing, their knowledge of spatial technology remained a blank slate.
The root cause lay in Yunmeng Star needing to establish jump points to break free from the Chaotic Nebula's protective barrier, which required spatial technology. Their arch-rivals not only blocked Yunmeng Star's access to spatial technology but also smuggled out or eliminated spatial ability users from Yunmeng Star.
Once this was discovered by the people of Yunmeng Star, they continued to secretly hide the existence of spatial ability users. Lin Yao later learned that their ability teacher, Chen Yiming, who clearly possessed spatial abilities, publicly claimed to have wind abilities and could only use spatial blades disguised as wind blades during combat.
While everyone was astonished by Ruilan civilization's spatial technology, an unpleasant voice broke through the atmosphere nearby.
"Ma Rui Si, I heard you brought some country bumpkins from Yunmeng Star with you?"
Su Rui had previously informed Lin Yao that they were aboard Lans I from his school, Lans High School. Besides him, there were other students from their school on board who might cause trouble for them later on due to their lack of awareness.
Half of the Mingguang team came from distinguished backgrounds—like Yao Beiluo from the general family Yao, Wang Jin from the Wang family, Meng Xingchen from Meng Pharmaceuticals, and Bai Zhenzhen backed by the Bai Group. Even the newly joined socially anxious girl You Mi came from the Mi family, founders of StarNet, as Lin Yao learned from Yao Beiluo.
Lin Yao thought about it; these people were used to smooth sailing and could benefit from a little tempering out in the world.
Therefore, they were not informed in advance about the situations they might encounter.
Upon hearing this sarcastic remark, Lin Yao remained silent at first, choosing instead to observe the reactions of others. Wang Jin appeared somewhat agitated and was about to speak when Meng Xingchen pulled him back.
Seeing that Lin Yao had no intention of speaking, Yao Beiluo refrained from jumping in as well and turned to look at Maris, waiting for him to respond first.
"Haha, I was wondering who had such a foul mouth this early in the morning. Turns out it's you, Roland," Maris said, waving his hand in front of his nose, his tone dripping with mockery.
"Hmph, even if my mouth is foul, it doesn't compare to the stench of your poverty. Here I am, a respectable member of an advanced civilization, and I'm stuck dealing with a bunch of bumpkins who don't even qualify as low-level civilizations. Aren't you afraid of tarnishing your own reputation?"
