World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

But even if others possess the same extraordinary talent for learning, they can’t reach his level.

Because these skills from the Dark Star Alliance are mostly cursed by the Leaker’s Curse, unless there’s someone like Zhang Xiaoman, who has an immunity special ability, in charge; otherwise, what he’s doing is as good as courting death.

At the moment, the spaceship is in the captain’s room.

Within just a few hours, Zhang Xiaoman had completely adjusted his status, recovering from his earlier cultivation.

He also took the opportunity to store a few more skills in the Time Corridor for later use in combat.

The Time Corridor skill had been upgraded to a Purple Fourth Rank by him, and now the corridor could imprint 40 skills, a very formidable effect. If placed in the Second Universe Dark Star Alliance’s auction house, it would likely be at least a Perfect Level skill.

Although the Time Corridor can’t store the same skill repeatedly, its current upper limit is still very good. The large number of skills stored is one thing, but the most important aspect is that, now, Purple Fourth-tier skills can store skills one rank above, namely Orange Skills.

The Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber and Invincible Little Golden Man are abilities currently stored in Zhang Xiaoman’s Time Corridor, ready to be activated directly without preparation, catching the enemy off guard.

Functionally, the ability of the Time Corridor even surpasses Perfect Level. Zhang Xiaoman believes it deserves a Breakthrough Level rating.

As soon as Ziwei mastered this skill, she boldly declared that her combat power had increased by at least 50% compared to before. Although her level of Time Corridor can’t store skills like the Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber, it’s still good enough to store some smaller skills.

Though these are just abilities with less destructive power, in actual combat, being able to instantly release already prepared skills without consumption can bring a qualitative breakthrough to the user’s strength.

Initially, Ziwei wasn’t particularly interested in joining the Star Alliance, having just left the Shadow Sentinel organization. As she put it, she wanted to rest for a while and not burden herself too much. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Of course, as Zhang Xiaoman’s friend, if the Star Alliance encountered trouble, she would unconditionally step in to help, just like last time on the Moon.

However, what changed her mind was the array of temptations Zhang Xiaoman offered her, such as the organization providing equipment forging services specifically for Awakening individuals, completely free, achievable just through contribution, allowing her to obtain top-grade equipment. This was irresistibly tempting for Ziwei, who frequently lost equipment in fights.

The free access to all books in the Book Collection Pavilion, free housing, high-quality cultivation facilities, and various training grounds (crossed out, this item is not open to Ziwei) among many benefits, solidified her decision to join the Star Alliance.

Now, after a year of adapting, Ziwei has truly integrated into the life of the Star Alliance, becoming a member of the Three Great Sanctuaries.

Ziwei’s chosen sanctuary is the Moon Shadow Shop, for no other special reason, purely because she found the black and gold clothing of the Moon Shadow Shop matched her purple hair nicely.

Zhang Xiaoman is also pleased to have such a powerful combat force within the organization. With Ziwei’s joining, there’s not only an additional layer of security but, due to her mastery of various Shadow Sentinel abilities, it aids in their better development, such as special training methods, combat skills, and spiritual medicine formulas for accelerating cultivation, all being invaluable assets for the organization.

But mere intangible assets aren’t sufficient; it also requires everyone’s determination to convert these into strength.

Now, Zhang Xiaoman is seizing every moment to cultivate. The Hail Spaceship requires over an hour of preparation before opening a wormhole, during which he uses the time to consolidate his current abilities, preparing for potential battles ahead.

The situation on Phantom Spirit Star doesn’t look optimistic. Though Zhang Xiaoman hasn’t been there yet, just looking at the logs left by the Phantom Spirit Star Observer, it indicates some major disaster at their race’s home base, or else, the communication wouldn’t have abruptly ceased.

The first thing Zhang Xiaoman thought of was an Alien Species invasion. After all, the timing makes that conclusion hard to ignore.

However, his trip this time is just to try his luck. There are sure to be new resources in the new Star System. He believes that, with his current strength, even if he can’t defeat the Alien Species there, he can at least ensure the ship’s crew can retreat without major problems.

After over an hour of preparation, the Hail Spaceship finally opened a wormhole, disappearing into the Solar System.

This small wormhole has a small volume and a short duration, allowing only one ship to pass before closing directly after.

After all, Hail is just a destroyer, inherently limited in size, unable to accommodate medium to large wormhole generators.

Zhang Xiaoman recalled the Desert Worm Clan’s support tactics during the Moon defense battle. They similarly used wormhole-like technology to reach the battlefield, and judging from their smooth traversal, their technological prowess is clearly far superior to ships like Hail, making Zhang Xiaoman appreciate that there’s much humans can learn from the Insect Race.

"Star Lord, you’ve received a message from ’Purple Rose’."

A notification sound suddenly rang in the watch, Zhang Xiaoman clicked to view it, and inside was a message sent by Ziwei.

"Ji Xing! Open the door! Open the door! We’ve reached the place!"

Ziwei’s projection appeared before him, judging by the background, she should be standing right outside Zhang Xiaoman’s captain’s room.

Ever since the Moon defense battle, this woman had been given the title ’Purple Rose’ by a wide array of netizens. Later, she pulled up the image of the rose through the terminal, found it quite beautiful, then accepted the title, even using it as her Star Network alias after joining the Star Alliance.

Now Ziwei stands outside the captain’s room door, a pale hand hovering before it, with a face full of conflicted expression.

"Zzz~"

The door suddenly opened, and Zhang Xiaoman’s figure appeared behind it.

Seeing this, Ziwei finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her arm.

"Ah! Ji Xing, you’re finally out! Do you know how hard it was for me to resist knocking? If you didn’t come out, I would’ve knocked..."

Zhang Xiaoman’s mouth twitched uncontrollably at the sight; Ziwei is truly a destructive maniac.

Since she joined the Star Alliance, the repair costs of the organization have skyrocketed like a rocket, though for such a massive organization, this funding shouldn’t be a big deal, but Ziwei is simply too good at wreaking havoc. Although repair costs can be borne, broken items aren’t just a monetary issue; the key problem is that someone has to spend time repairing them.

Given Ziwei’s destructive power, a simple Repair Spell might not restore damaged items to their original state, and residual Dark Spiritual Power requires a more advanced Construction Spell to decipher. Thus, there are very few who can repair them, and most of the time, it falls on craftsmen to manually restore them, making it tough for the craftsmen.

Tang Xueke has come to Zhang Xiaoman multiple times to complain about this, with words of grievance about Ziwei’s destructive power being so strong that craftsmen have no time to construct the Sky Garden, trailing behind to clean up.

Knowing Ziwei’s character well, Zhang Xiaoman felt rather helpless and had to make special requests of her, the first being strictly forbidding her from knocking on his door ever again.
