CHAPTER 693: CHAPTER 697: INTERSTELLAR HEARTTHROB (16)

How could it not be precious? Su Li felt heartache just thinking about it.

The energy body so valued by the Federation, she didn’t even get the chance to properly experience it.

What was more important, she discovered that this rare energy wasn’t only capable of charging machinery—it was also absorbable by humans like herself, and it was entirely gentle without any harsh side effects.

According to the memories of the original owner, such an energy source that could work directly on the human body was unprecedented.

If this got out, the entire universe would be shaken.

She just didn’t know whether the people of the Federation were aware of its wonders.

And the robot, which had also finished charging and upgrading, still looked the same... hideous.

Looking at its clownish appearance, Su Li couldn’t help but feel infuriated.

You could say, the flying device consuming half of the energy body’s resources made sense, given its size.

But for the robot, a small being like this, to also deplete half of the energy resources—that made Su Li view the robot in a different light.

Su Li looked it over from all sides but couldn’t figure out where such a vast energy could have gone.

It looked absolutely no different from before, still as ugly as ever.

Not right...

Su Li touched her chin and smiled as she walked circles around the robot.

It wasn’t entirely unchanged; at the very least... its eyes seemed more spirited.

That look just now, it was fear, wasn’t it?

Under Su Li’s piercing gaze, which felt tangible, the robot seemed to squirm somewhat.

"Hey, talk about what you’re hiding, you never mentioned that just to upgrade speed... would consume such a huge amount of energy..."

The robot’s eyes flickered, and it buzzed in a mechanical voice, "But master, you never asked. Aside from speed, all my bodily functions have also been upgraded to optimal condition."

As for this, the robot gave a disdainful look when Su Li brought up the flying device.

"Even without the presence of an eggshell, I can still perform interstellar jumps with you, master."

It was indeed capable.

After the robot’s upgrade, it had become more lively. At this moment, if it had a tail attached, it would surely be wagging nonstop at her.

Not to mention, after a while, even the ugly robot started to look rather adorable.

Just as Su Li was casually exploring the new functions of the upgraded flying device and robot, she suddenly felt a slight shake of the hull.

Looking up, she could see a brilliant firework explode on the external screen.

The entire Snow Mine Star was engulfed in flames, the moderately sized planet, right before everyone’s eyes, exploded with a loud bang.

Immediately after, multiple escape ships burst forth from the flames, quickly leaving the perpetually burning garbage star far behind.

Su Li was not worried about the fate of the survivors in the Bird’s Nest because the original owner had thoughtfully made all the necessary safety preparations for them.

In times of tranquility and slight surplus, the original owner acquired a large number of escape ships through various channels and hid them at the East Corner.

She feared the recurrence of events that had happened over a decade ago.

As long as some sparks remained, the planet would not die completely.

Even if the planet was gone, as long as there were people, there was hope.

Now, her actions once again saved many from Snow Mine Star.

The escape ships carried the youngest and strongest of them.

Some zipped past the eggshells, and through the transparent glass windows, Su Li could clearly see their faces filled with panic, at a loss and full of fear for the future.

Young faces were crying and huddling together, looking back at their home planet now ablaze with fire, knowing that from here on, they would be displaced.

Su Li felt neither guilt nor unease about this.

In this world, no one could bear the future of another person, there was neither the responsibility nor the obligation to do so.

Thus, Su Li still considered herself a remarkably good person. Responding to spite with kindness, that was absolutely magnanimity to the extreme.

Otherwise, these youngsters would have just been buried along with the planet in the prime of their youth.

Although it was the original owner who had done these good deeds, she was now bearing the original owner’s name, shamelessly claiming credit for herself.

Su Li was still utterly delighted.

Growth always comes with pain, having been baptized with blood and tears, they should be able to grow and mature quickly.

But all this was none of her business anymore.

Because now, she faced bigger trouble.

Opening the Star Network, the screen was filled with notices of her being wanted.

Name: Su Li

Age: 35?

Gender: Male

Fleeing with a robot, all Cosmic Citizens have the duty to assist the Federation in tracking and arresting this fugitive.

For this, any Cosmic Citizen who provides significant leads or apprehends the fugitive will receive a reward of ten million interstellar coins.

Additionally, the individual may possess strong Martial Arts or be armed with lethal weapons, citizens are warned not to approach on their own, and to notify Federation police immediately upon sighting.

Su Li: "....."

The Federation’s wanted notice was a bit far-fetched.

Their audacity could not be uglier.

Also, the lethal weapon referred to... Su Li speechlessly glanced at the robot practicing the Golden Rooster’s Independence stance.

A robot actually began to practice human Martial Arts, this level of eagerness truly left Su Li embarrassed.

She was about to be outdone by a robot.

This adorable little thing, were the people of the Federation blind to consider it a major threat?

Su Li automatically ignored the scene on Snow Mine Star where the robot’s metal tendrils had instantaneously tossed several people away and automatically adorned herself with an innocent and kind image.

Baby’s heart was bitter...

She didn’t do anything, how did she end up on the wanted list? It’s incomprehensible, really incomprehensible.

As for the accusation of stealing the energy ore, without any existing evidence, she absolutely refused to admit to it.

Baby’s heart was bitter, but baby wouldn’t say it.

Su Li raised her face at a sorrowful yet radiant forty-five degrees, carrying a faint sense of worry, then hacked into the Federation Star Network.

And on the wanted notice she had just seen, one could now see a few large, red characters:

I didn’t do it, stop spouting nonsense, I didn’t do anything...

Having done all this, Su Li was elated, but to the bigwigs of the Federation, it was a flagrant challenge to their authority.

In the centuries since the Federation was established, there had never been such a bold and annoying young person stomping on their dignity and brazenly insulting their authority.

If that’s what they thought, Su Li was displeased, the double standards couldn’t be more obvious.

It was just a tit-for-tat, what was there to talk about.

This act of Su Li made the Federation’s higher-ups so furious they nearly exploded on the spot.

A minute later, the wanted notice was updated, the reward for Su Li was raised to fifty million interstellar coins, provided someone could catch her alive.
