Colonial Suit

The appearance of Blood瞳 caused chaos in space station U9. At the same time, the information about Blood瞳 being promoted to a Comet-level warrior was immediately uploaded to the Mercenary Headquarters.

The Mercenary Headquarters reacted quickly. In less than three hours, the new treatment and rank recognition for Blood瞳 were issued. They initially acknowledged Blood瞳's Comet-level status and dispatched a verification team to thoroughly investigate Blood瞳's combat power. Once verified, Blood瞳 would no longer be responsible for missions within the U9 area and would have their area of activity changed to the Fifth World.

As soon as the news spread, the entire U9 station was in an uproar. Everyone looked at Blood瞳 with envy.

According to the rules of the universe, each universe warrior's area of activity is limited, generally based on the level of the current world. An increase in the range of activity not only means an improvement in treatment but, more importantly, recognition from the Mercenary Headquarters.

For example, Meteor-level warriors have an activity range of the Fifth and Sixth Worlds. They are no longer assigned missions in higher-level worlds, but there are no controls placed on them, adopting a laissez-faire attitude.

The same applies to Comet-level warriors, but because their strength can already affect the balance of the world, the requirements are stricter than those for Meteor-level warriors. They are no longer allowed to accept missions in the Seventh World, and their stay in the Sixth World is also restricted. Their main areas of activity are designated as the Fourth and Fifth Worlds.

It can be said that the rules of the Universe Mercenaries follow an upward-compatible pattern. Low-level warriors entering higher-level worlds have almost no restrictions, but high-level warriors entering lower-level worlds face problems. Unless a special application is made or the headquarters assigns them, they will be penalized by the mercenary rules.

Blood瞳's change in activity area indicates that his strength has been recognized by the Mercenary Headquarters, and his future is limitless. No wonder he is envied by all mercenaries.

For a time, the entire U9 station was in turmoil. Chessie even visited Blood瞳 to congratulate him.

However, Blood瞳 remained indifferent. To him, what did world levels matter?

He cared about the safety of his companions and the path of evolution.

After the redemption in the spiritual world, Robbie had awakened and was recovering at a visible rate, which made Blood瞳 very happy.

Speaking of which, the scene in Robbie's spiritual world was very damaging to Blood瞳.

This was not to say that his spiritual body was weaker than Robbie's, but in order not to harm Robbie, Blood瞳 had to suppress his own thoughts to synchronize with Robbie's spiritual world. This was like a burly strongman performing minimally invasive surgery, not only unable to use his strength but also constantly restricting himself to prevent harm to the patient.

Especially when climbing Mount of Guilt at the end, because Blood瞳 had no faith, the suffering he endured was probably even greater than Robbie's. This caused him to spit blood when he came out and almost faint.

Fortunately, Blood瞳's will was extremely strong, coupled with his Comet-level spiritual body, which allowed him to persevere. In the end, his recovery speed was much faster than Robbie's.

In the room, Blood瞳 was lying on a soft couch, listlessly holding a cigarette. The Gemini twins embraced him on either side, smiling happily.

"Blood瞳, have this," Mia handed a piece of fruit to Blood瞳's mouth, watching him eat it.

"Have mine too, this time it's a Cro fruit," Posie eagerly grabbed another piece of fruit from the Empire and stuffed it into Blood瞳's mouth.

"Woof, woof, woof…," Lie Ya circled around Blood瞳's feet with a bunch of bananas in his mouth.

"You guys are going to stuff him to death," Robbie chuckled from across the room, pointing to his nose. "Don't get me wrong, I'm the one who's really hurt here."

"It's your own fault for being careless. Blood瞳 saved you," Posie turned around at the same time, saying dismissively. Her charming appearance made everyone laugh.

"These two little ones," Robbie was speechless. He covered his forehead and fell back on the bed. "Okay, it seems I'll have to take care of myself."

"That's right," Posie replied affirmatively, nodding her little head at the same time.

Laughter filled the room. But when Robbie finally decided to get up and get something to eat, Pandora appeared beside him, handing him a tray at the right time.

"Oh, it seems someone still cares about me," Robbie said happily, then gave Pandora a smile. "Thank you, Pandora."

"You're welcome," Pandora lowered her head, her eyes calm. "This is what I should do."

"Also, if you have recovered, can you settle the medical expenses? I'm out of money here."

"Oh, God. I knew there wasn't so much good fortune," Robbie wailed, his face bitter.

Actually, it's not Pandora's fault. Who told them they were really out of money? They hadn't been on a mission during Blood瞳's disappearance. In addition to the equipment consumption from the T6 battle, they were almost penniless. It could be said that Robbie's injury was the last straw that broke the camel's back. If Blood瞳 hadn't come, they would have had to 'sell themselves'.

"It's still good to have a captain…" Robbie sighed, then made a familiar gesture to Blood瞳. "Dear Captain, aren't you going to contribute a little evil money for this team?"

"How do you know I have money?" Blood瞳 asked with a smile.

"Oh, that's not important, is it?" Robbie replied with a smile, then pointed outside the door. "Besides, if you don't have money, where did those people come from? And haven't you been promoted to Comet-level? Won't the Mercenary Headquarters give you benefits?"

"The Mercenary Headquarters' benefits haven't been issued yet, as for those people…" Blood瞳 smiled wryly.

Indeed, he returned with so many service personnel and a new fighter shuttle. Who could say he had no money? Moreover, his new follower, Garro, was arguing with his old follower, Jack, seemingly over who would serve him, which gave Blood瞳 a headache.

Speaking of benefits… Blood瞳's eyes focused. "You've already entered the Meteor-level, right?"

"Yeah," Robbie admitted readily. "Since waking up this time, I've felt my physical and mental strength increasing. I should have reached the standard of the Meteor-level. I can faintly feel a force generating in my body."

"That's because the path of evolution is about to begin," Blood瞳 said. As a pioneer, he was too familiar with this series of changes. "You must familiarize yourself with this power, understand it, and control it. It will lead you to the path of evolution."

The Meteor-level is also known as the budding period and is the most basic link in the path of evolution. Blood瞳, of course, had to remind Robbie.

"Got it. I will," Robbie replied with a smile, then looked at the Gemini twins. "What about them? You are already a Comet-level warrior. Don't you want to help your companions?"

"Everyone has their own path," Blood瞳 replied seriously. "I never believe that anyone can gain power without effort."

"That's right, Blood瞳," Posie replied loudly, then proudly raised her chin. "My sister and I don't need anyone's help. We will open the path of evolution ourselves!"

"That's for sure," Mia covered her mouth and smiled, then blinked her eyes. "Speaking of which, we are about to reach the critical point. I feel my body is changing."

"And mental power," Posie pointed to her temples with distress. "Recently, when Blood瞳 wasn't here, I had a lot of nightmares… I feel so real… especially some of them…"

"Ah…!"

Posie suddenly screamed, covering her head and falling on the couch. Seeing her painful expression, everyone stood up.

"It's… begun," Robbie looked at Posie with a serious expression. "She is an ability-type warrior and feels it more intensely than us."

"And Mia," At this time, Blood瞳 noticed that Mia was also trembling, her eyes closed and constantly sweating.

"These two little ones have entered the critical point. From now on, they may break through at any time."

"We need enough potions. Ability-type warriors are different from us. Their improvement requires a lot of potion support."

"But we don't have money, and U9 can't provide so many high-level potions," Pandora said nervously, her face pale.

"I'll arrange it," Blood瞳 said calmly, then affectionately touched the heads of the two little ones. "Robbie is right. I did gain a lot this time. I was originally going to take you with me. Since the two little ones have already started, let's not wait here."

"Where are you taking us?" Robbie asked in surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect Blood瞳 to have such an arrangement. He had thought that Blood瞳 would bring some money, but the current situation was completely different.

"Don't worry," Blood瞳 bent down and picked up the Gemini twins. He turned back and smiled slightly. "I'll give you a surprise. But… we have to leave this place first."

"What about the headquarters' verification team?" Robbie asked as he got up. "They are here to verify your combat power."

"Do I need their approval for how I evolve?" Blood瞳 said indifferently, glancing at the Gemini twins in his arms. He finally snorted coldly. "If they want to verify it, let them come and find me!"

With that, he walked out of the room without hesitation.

Behind them, Robbie and Pandora looked at each other, then quickly followed.

The news of Blood瞳's departure quickly spread to the higher-ups of U9, causing an uproar among the mercenaries. No one expected that just as Blood瞳 had returned and the Mercenary Headquarters was preparing to verify his combat power, he would leave. Did he not want to confirm his rank? Including Chessie, several Meteor-level higher-ups from space station U9 came to Blood瞳, wanting to dissuade him.

But their actions were one step too late. When they arrived, Blood瞳 and the others had already boarded the fighter shuttle. They rushed out of the airport under everyone's eyes.

Looking at the rapidly disappearing contrails of the fighter shuttle, several Meteor-level mercenaries were dumbfounded.

"What do we do now?" a Meteor-level warrior asked, his eyes dull.

"What else can we do? Quickly send a message to the headquarters and let them locate Blood瞳. We… are not in charge of this matter," Chessie stomped his feet in frustration and said through gritted teeth.
