Wendy Chase and Lilith walked down from the starship.
"Wendy, your performance just now was too brilliant! You didn't see how miserable Min Zhou looked after the battle ended! It's a pity I couldn't see her in person." Lily Xue darted to Wendy's side.
Wendy smiled. In truth, her contribution to this starship duel victory was minimal. The main reason for the win was the formidable power of the T2 Black Rhino-class Interstellar Heavy Assault Frigate. The crew on the starship had also fully familiarized themselves with this starship. She only needed to convey her thoughts, and the captain—a half-orc girl—would arrange everything for her.
Wendy looked at Zachary Chase, her lips moved…
Zachary was startled, "Are you talking to me?"
Wendy's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head.
"Speak louder, I didn't hear you." Zachary walked closer.
Wendy bit her red lips lightly, her cheeks turning even redder.
"Wendy means, 'Brother, I love you to death!'" Lily suddenly interjected from the side.
Wendy, embarrassed and angry, made to hit Lily, who laughed and dodged. "How could I… say that! Lily, don't talk nonsense! You… if you talk nonsense again… I'll tear your mouth off!"
Lily ran, laughing, "What? You don't like your brother? Then how about this—you give your brother to me! How about it, Brother Zachary!"
"Lily! If you're so capable, don't run!"
"If you're so capable, don't chase!"
Zachary watched the two giggling girls and couldn't help but laugh along.
Just then, Wendy chased Lily to Zachary's side. She stopped, not daring to look into Zachary's eyes.
"Thank you… Brother…"
After saying that, Wendy continued to chase and hit Lily.
Zachary looked at Wendy's retreating figure. He hadn't reacted immediately. It was worth noting that in all his memories over the years, Wendy had never once called him 'Brother'.
The news of a North Star Academy student defeating a Tianyao Academy student's Interstellar Battlecruiser with an Interstellar Frigate continued to spread within the academy. Wendy, this talented fifth-year student, also reached the peak of her renown.
As for Zachary, he returned to his Blizzard Zero. Although he had a dormitory at the academy, having gotten used to the large bed in his starship, who would want to stay in that small, shabby room?
Additionally, Zachary had something else to do. Find Levi Warren's sister! Of course, it wasn't to be her free brother-in-law.
Northern Goose Interstellar Ship Technology Group · Industrial Park Headquarters
This was a starship industrial facility located in a planetary orbit, originally belonging to a starship component manufacturing and supply company. It was acquired by Northern Goose about half a year ago, and it took two months to upgrade and transform it, laying down several starship production lines and starship docks. After that, they began mass production of the T1 Wolf Louse.
This starship industrial factory could produce a maximum of 100 T1 Wolf Louse per month.
At that time, due to Leah Warren's bold move, nearly five million star coins were invested, of which three million star coins were for the untraceable starship technology buyout fee. This once made the Northern Goose executives furious at Leah's actions, believing she was just giving up.
But who would have thought that in mid-November 3030, Northern Goose's subsidiary, Northern Goose Interstellar Ship Technology Group, held a starship launch event, introducing a starship called the T1 Wolf Louse-class Medium Interstellar Destroyer. The price was only thirty thousand star coins!
The thirty thousand star coins price sent shockwaves throughout the Northern Star Region. It should be known that the current lowest price for a T1 starship on the market, such as a T1 Interstellar Frigate, was as high as fifty thousand star coins. If it were a T1 Interstellar Destroyer, it would cost at least one hundred thousand star coins. But Northern Goose's Interstellar Destroyer only cost thirty thousand star coins! Was there really no problem with such a cheap T1 starship?
For the first three days after the launch, no one was willing to buy this starship. But on the fourth day, Leah directly announced that the first one hundred T1 Wolf Louse could be test-piloted for three days without a deposit. If unsatisfied within three days, they could be returned without any cost.
Under these circumstances, some private fleets or galaxy lords with limited funds attempted to try out this starship.
The fifth day of the launch! It exploded!
Northern Goose's ordering department's communication network directly crashed, and orders poured in. One Interstellar Lord even directly placed an order for one hundred T1 Wolf Louse! It should be noted that at that time, Northern Goose's warehouse only had an inventory of three hundred T1 Wolf Louse. And on this fifth day, all three hundred T1 Wolf Louse had been completely ordered, and all payments were settled. This instantly brought nine million star coins directly into Northern Goose's account! This directly turned Northern Goose's financial report for the year from a loss to a profit!
"I am now preparing to expand the current starship factory, increasing the current monthly construction speed of one hundred T1 Wolf Louse to three hundred T1 Wolf Louse. The entire expansion is expected to be completed before mid-year." Leah looked at the shareholders attending the meeting and her father sitting opposite her. Her father was looking at her with satisfaction. The other shareholders, too, had changed their previous disdain, each smiling obsequiously at Leah.
"Niece Leah is truly outstanding. This T1 Wolf Louse alone has ignited the market in our Star Glory Empire's Northern Star Region. I heard the number of orders has already reached five hundred!"
"External speculation suggests that this impact will also extend to other galaxies of the Star Glory Empire, and then the annual demand might reach a full five thousand T1 Wolf Louse! Five thousand T1 Wolf Louse—the profit generated from that will far exceed our Northern Goose Interstellar Trade Group."
"I always knew our niece Leah would succeed! I think expanding to a monthly output of three hundred is not enough. Let's just directly expand to a monthly output of five hundred to open up the markets in other galaxies of the Star Glory Empire!"
One by one, the shareholders were enthusiastically discussing and planning Northern Goose's future blueprint in the field of starship technology.
Leah, on the other hand, looked at these uncles and elders as if they were clowns. Just a few months ago, they didn't have these expressions. How ridiculous.
Beep, beep, beep.
Just then, Leah's handheld terminal flashed with a message notification. Normally, Leah would professionally turn off all message notifications during meetings, even her father's. But a few months ago, one person became the exception.
"Excuse me, I have an urgent matter. This meeting will end here for now." After Leah finished speaking, without waiting for the uncles and elders to respond, she exited the meeting. The conference room in front of Leah instantly disappeared, replaced by an empty conference room and a few empty chairs.
Leah quickly opened her communication device, which displayed a message.
'I want to talk to you'
The message was from that mysterious account from a few months ago! The mysterious person who sold her the T1 Wolf Louse technology!
