"This is Star City?" Chu Xuan looked at the 'colossal behemoth' in front of her with some shock.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but marvel at the scenery outside the porthole.
It was an enormous steel structure, even larger than a planet.
This enormous building is utterly devoid of any aesthetic appeal; rather, it appears to be a hodgepodge of different pieces.
Even the architectural styles and building materials differ from one region to another.
It's as if this area is European style, and this area has become Chinese style.
"It is said that Star City was originally just a very small starport, and then it was expanded many times as more and more interstellar traders came here."
To date, it has been expanded countless times.
"That's why we have this chaotic architectural style now. It's a cultural characteristic of Star City, which accommodates various interstellar races and civilizations," Xue Xiaoxiao explained from the side.
Zhao Chen continued to observe the Star City.
Around it, there were many interstellar warships moored.
Numerous!
Various models and levels are available.
From the tiny T1-class interstellar warships that move like ants in a continuous stream, to a considerable number of T2-class interstellar warships.
The number of T3-class starships began to decrease, but they could still be seen.
T4-class interstellar warships were not seen.
Of these starships, 70% are interstellar transport ships or other types of interstellar auxiliary ships.
Combat-type interstellar warships are actually few in number.
"This is Administrator JK991 of Star City. We have received your application for the 'Little Skull' starship to enter port."
"The application has been approved. Please proceed to port according to the designated route." A voice then rang out on the communication channel.
Zhao Chen looked at Chu Xuan.
This is Chu Xuan's application to enter Hong Kong, which she submitted earlier.
The Little Skull Starship is actually the nickname of the interstellar warship that Zhao Chen is on.
The interstellar warship Zhao Chen was currently aboard had changed from Xue Xiaoxiao's T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleship to this T4 Skeleton King-class heavy interstellar armored destroyer.
After all, it would be far too conspicuous to enter port in that T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleship.
The T4 Skeleton King-class heavy interstellar armored destroyer is quite conspicuous, but its hull style is similar to Warhammer, so it appears to be a rugged type.
This way, it can reduce the attention from outsiders.
Furthermore, the fleet emblems used by Zhao Chen and his group this time happened to come from a small interstellar trader within the Warhammer Starfleet Union.
Everyone knows that the Warhammer StarCraft United's starships have a rather unique style.
Having even a T3-class interstellar warship, which is larger and more rugged, is within an acceptable range.
"The rest of our interstellar warships have already concealed their presence in an asteroid belt on the outskirts."
"If we encounter any emergencies, they can reach Star City's attack range within five minutes and provide support to any area," Chu Xuan said from the side.
"Don't be so angry."
We're not here to bombard Star City.
"Be kinder, be kinder." Zhao Chen waved his hand casually.
Afterwards, the Skull-class star destroyer sailed into the port berth and was moored.
However, this does not mean that Zhao Chen has already entered Star City.
Xue Xiaoxiao, along with Zhao Chen, Chu Xuan, and a team of female guards responsible for Zhao Chen's safety, boarded the shuttle that had been prepared in advance.
The starship's hatch opened, and the shuttle drove out.
At this moment, Zhao Chen realized that they had entered a channel inside the Star City.
"Star City is very large, and most of the interstellar warships are docked in the outer area."
Of course, some interstellar powers have their own internal shipyards and dedicated shipping lanes within Star City, allowing them to drive their interstellar warships directly in.
That channel is very large; even starships of the T4 Borei-class heavy starship can navigate it.
However, control is in the hands of those powerful families; ordinary people can only use these small waterways. Xue Xiaoxiao, as if she were home, explained the situation to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen looked out the porthole at the scenery outside. It was a dark, circular waterway, and he could see the waterway walls outside, with smaller waterways on top of the walls.
Zhao Chen could see some shuttles entering those small channels.
It felt like a highway that stretched in all directions.
"Where are we going now?" Zhao Chen asked.
Chu Xuan said, "It's a place called the Stars Tavern."
"The Tavern of Stars?" That's quite a unique name.
Xue Xiaoxiao then began to show off her 'extensive' knowledge: "Don't underestimate the name'Starry Tavern'."
This is a 'landmark area' in Star City, which is ruled by the largest intelligence broker organization in the Star Alliance.
You can investigate all sorts of intelligence here, but of course, you have to pay.
Chu Xuan interjected from the side, "You don't need to worry about the funds."
Prior to this, our Eden Grain Trading Group had already stored goods worth 10 billion Star Dollars in an account with the Star Alliance.
10 billion Star Coins.
Presumably, buying the information Zhao Chen needs shouldn't be too difficult.
The shuttle traveled for more than ten minutes before arriving at a shuttle parking area.
The shuttle cabin door opens.
A receptionist looked toward the shuttle's door and saw a group of people dressed in black leather armor and wearing black masks appear before him.
The staff were already used to this strange-looking outfit.
Here, you can see all kinds of creatures.
For example, next door there's a strange creature crawling on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Chu Xuan walked ahead of Zhao Chen. Before he could speak, she took out a badge with a barrel pattern from her pocket.
"We're going to the tavern; we have a reservation."
The moment Chu Xuan's voice came from behind the mask, it was noticeably different.
This mask comes with a built-in voice modification function.
"So you're guests at the tavern. Please come this way. A car has been prepared for you. We wish you a pleasant stay at the tavern." The receptionist was clearly very respectful and personally led the way for Zhao Chen and his group.
Zhao Chen and the others successfully boarded a private car.
Zhao Chen looked at the badge in Chu Xuan's hand.
"Not just anyone can go to the Stars Tavern; you need to be qualified."
Furthermore, there is a limit to the number of people that can be received each day.
"We obtained this through the Eden Grain Trading Group," Chu Xuan explained.
It's Eden Food Trading Group again.
As expected, having your own trading company makes many things go very smoothly.
After traveling by private car °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° through several small and distinct city clusters, Zhao Chen and his group finally arrived at their destination.
Stars Tavern.
The Stars Tavern is located on an island in the middle of an artificial sea, with an artificially projected sun overhead.
I must say, the scenery is quite nice.
"Welcome to Stars Tavern." A person in uniform greeted Zhao Chen and his group.
Just as Zhao Chen got out of the car, another luxury car stopped next to him.
"Welcome to the Stars Tavern."
A group of people got off the bus.
Her pure white skin flashed by in Zhao Chen's peripheral vision.
As if sensing something, Zhao Chen turned his head to look.
Golden eyes, white feather robe, pure white skin exposed beyond the robe, and faintly visible spots of light.
And that holy, icy, and aloof appearance.
