The explosive power equivalent to one kilogram of explosives for self-detonation isn't too exaggerated.

But for an ordinary person, being within ten meters would mean certain death.

"Emmm..."

Chen Fei held a small, uncertain material bottle in his hand, deep in thought.

The "Sagali" civilization envoy was shattered to pieces due to self-detonation, and the blood of the enslaved race "Chu" was blue, like a basin of blue ink splashed across Chen Fei's face.

A large mass of oddly colored and compositionally complex blood and flesh mush was blocked by an invisible force two feet away, forming a hemispherical cover shape.

Relying on the powerful spiritual power of the "Life Tree," Chen Fei constructed a protective barrier in front of him. This is the simplest and most effective use.

The scene was filled with blue mist, and the crushed bone fragments hit the magic shield and barrier generated at the first moment like bullets. Even the barriers of supernatural power users crackled down, forming a clearly visible outline on the ground.

The blonde girl who delivered Chen Fei, Nicole von Sasha, was behind a magic shield, covering her mouth with both hands, full of shock.

Just as Chen Fei had anticipated, the envoy of the "Sagali" civilization really launched an attack, and it was a face-to-face self-detonation.

At the scene, only one envoy self-detonated. The other two envoys seemed unprepared and were blown away by the impact, their bodies covered in blood and flesh, evidently suffering collateral severe injuries. They were quickly controlled and dragged away.

"Are you alright?"

Nicole rushed to Chen Fei's side, inspecting him up and down.

He looked completely untouched, holding a slender-necked round-bottom bottle in his hand. The black bottle body had clearly visible patterns, and the bottle neck was delicately wrapped with thread woven from plant fibers.

Chen Fei said calmly, "I'm fine. It's not the first time out here, not surprising at all."

He weighed the bottle and directly threw it into the Life Space of the "Boundary Pearl," turning to let the "Adam" copy of Atlantis's AI divide it into several parts, handing them over to a dedicated laboratory for analysis and sending a portion to the "Life Tree" to see if it could analyze anything.

Even though the envoy of the "Sagali" civilization claimed it could extend life by 60 years, Chen Fei wasn't about to drink it blindly. He was still young, far from facing a lifespan crisis. Even if nothing was analyzed, he could gamble on it when old, like at seventy or eighty. If he was right, he would live 60 more years; if not, he was destined to grow old and die, so nothing would be lost.

Nicole, of course, knew the great things Chen Fei did when he was a rookie. By comparison, today's incident seemed minor. Her gaze fell on Chen Fei's hand—or more precisely, the back of his hand.

"That bottle..."

"What bottle?"

Chen Fei feigned ignorance.

The blonde girl hesitated, "By the rules, it should be handed over!"

Something that could extend life by sixty years would surely be pursued wildly by those in power.

Because upon reaching a certain social status and level of power, it takes a long time to accumulate enough experience and prestige. By that time, most would have already surpassed the "know the mandate of heaven" age, and perhaps even seventy or more, pursuing more time outweighs everything else.

Borrowing five hundred years from heaven is almost the ambition of every ruler.

"If they dare, come take it; if not, don't bother talking."

Chen Xiao'er refused to give an inch.

Why should something earned through enduring a self-detonation be taken just like that? Come and take the peach if you dare!

Nicole: "..."

If they could, Habulav's side would have already acted.

But they had to be prepared to bear the cost if they chose to act.

In the end, it was left unresolved because the importance of the life-extending substance ultimately couldn't surpass Emerald Star.

Yet, just after returning to the Heavy Criminal Prison, Nicole brought unexpected news to Chen Fei.

After one envoy of the "Sagali" civilization suddenly self-detonated, the other two hit by the blast quickly regained consciousness, and the wounds on their body surfaces healed over in just an hour, as if they'd never been injured. They both requested to meet Chen Fei again.

The upper echelons of Habulav were dumbfounded upon hearing the request. Was this a do-or-die mission to kill Chen Fei?

"Let's meet one more time!"

The blonde girl casually mentioned, and Chen Fei's answer was equally surprising.

"Want to be hit by another self-detonation?"

Nicole really wanted to open up Chen Xiao'er's skull to see if it was filled with laundry detergent, bubbling up the instant it touched water?

"It's just a meeting; it doesn't have to be up close, even remotely works."

Chen Fei wouldn't thoughtlessly walk into a dead end.

"Uh..."

Nicole suddenly realized her anger was baseless; the man was right. A meeting is just a meeting, remotely or not.

Three-dimensional holographic projection could also be used.

"Alright, I'll arrange it!"

This riskless decision, she could make.

Once again, Chen Fei entered Interrogation Room No. 43. The rooms with walls broken through had been fully restored, even adding an extra layer of composite armor inside the walls, reducing the actual room size by 20 centimeters.

The wall flashed, transforming into a frameless floor-to-ceiling display with a three-dimensional visual effect.

On the screen appeared the two envoys of the "Sagali" civilization. As Chen Fei saw them, they saw Chen Fei. They stood side by side, with a thick transparent panel between them, and no one around, seemingly akin to the empty environment of Interrogation Room No. 43.

The Habulav sighed in relief when these envoys accepted remote meetings; it seemed like the self-detonation was an accident, not intentional. The second meeting must have a purpose.

"Females! Where are they?"

The left envoy's face showed no expression, yet it straightforwardly referenced the video content Chen Fei had played on a tablet.

Chen Fei grinned. The other side finally admitted it. The small tribe discovered on Emerald Star indeed belonged to the enslaved race "Chu."

At that moment, the envoys of the "Sagali" civilization disclosed significant information.

He quickly asked, "Exchange! Do you agree?"

The two envoys glanced at each other, and the one speaking with Chen Fei nodded slowly.

"Exchange! What do you want?"

"The formula for the Life Extension Potion! 'Rookie,' exchange it for this!"

"No, ask if there's anything more, more!"

"And the technology of the 'wormhole cloud'!"

Interrogation Room No. 43 suddenly had other voices, more than one person intruding using their privilege.

"Mute the other voices. This is adult business, idiots get out!"

Chen Fei annoyedly waved off the interference.

"You're the idiot. You're the moron. The opportunity is rare; ask for more. Don't be stupid, argh!"

The intruder, eager to replace Chen Fei in negotiation, began to roar, wanting to rush into Interrogation Room No. 43 and punish Chen Xiao'er for not exploiting the chance to negotiate with an alien civilization, squandering the opportunity for a demanding deal!

Chen Fei: "..."

He chose to remain silent, like hearing a dog's bark.

Not only Chen Fei, but also the two envoys on the screen waited quietly, ignoring the incoming disruptive noises, accidentally forming a mutual understanding.

The other intrusive voices finally ceased after about five minutes.

It seemed the powerful figures who inserted the noise had finally been overpowered by higher authority at the Heavy Criminal Prison.

Without the disturbances, Chen Fei finally spoke again.

"The home base of the 'Sagali' civilization, where is it?"

One envoy suddenly took a deep breath.

"It's in..."

Bang!

It exploded again!
