"Heh, I'm serious."

Although Feng Yi wore a wry smile, his tone was exceptionally solemn, so deep that even Greedy Wolf felt like he wasn't conversing with a man in his twenties.

His words inevitably stirred violent ripples within Greedy Wolf's heart... "Why?"

"Just tired, I guess. I want to chase after the kind of life I've always dreamed of."

"The kind of life you've dreamed of?"

"Yes, to fly far away. Everyone has their own ideals, right? As a soldier, my personal ambitions have been fulfilled. In fact, since the moment the war ended, I've been quietly planning my future journey."

Greedy Wolf didn't know what to say for a moment. The kid had a habit of disappearing without a reason, but to each their own. Considering the outstanding contributions Feng Yi had made to the federation, though it was hard to let go, this was ultimately the path Feng Yi sought, so what more could he say?

Greedy Wolf fell silent for a long while, then asked another question, "Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

"Are you really sure?"

"I pledge on my honor."

"Hahaha, I still don't believe you." Greedy Wolf burst into laughter suddenly, and Feng Yi was taken aback... This old man was quite playful; he had the feeling he'd been toyed with.

"Go on, tell me. Who have you chosen?" Greedy Wolf's tone shifted rapidly, "I'm genuinely curious who you would recommend."

"Keep it in the family, John, of course," Feng Yi replied without hesitation.

"With his abilities? Let's not even talk about other things, he can't even control his own temper, how's he going to manage the Blazing Flame Legion? Let me tell you, I could randomly pick someone, and they'd do a better job than him."

Feng Yi smiled wistfully. Greedy Wolf was only seeing the surface. True, John had a hot temper, but it was precisely because of this that he was well-suited to manage. Those space pirates and rebel groups were old soldiers accustomed to handling guns all year long; it'd be hard for anyone else to suppress them. This assembly of desperados differed entirely from a regular army; it could only display its greatest combat power under the command of a specific leader. To replace him with just anyone, they wouldn't conform. Even their morale in battle would be affected. A few instances of disobedience or desertion, and everything would fall apart.

When Feng Yi tossed the issue back to Greedy Wolf, the old general also fell into a period of silence...

However, Feng Yi was also recommending a second and third candidate simultaneously, Apophis and Sky Shadow from the Military Department.

It could be said that Apophis was not as skilled at the grand strategy as John, but with his assistance, this group thrived like a fish in water. As for Sky Shadow, he was the only one Feng Yi could think of, aside from John, who was most suited for the role.

In terms of ability, Sky Shadow was more than capable; in terms of strength, he could command respect; and in terms of intelligence, he was definitely sufficient.

Greedy Wolf said, "There's no denying Sky Shadow's excellence, but why do you recommend him? He, is only fit to be a soldier."

"True, but I think I understand him better than you do. Given the chance, I will personally talk to Sky Shadow. This isn't necessarily about the transition of the Blazing Fleet. He needs a stage to showcase himself more than anything else."

Greedy Wolf nodded, "I trust your judgment and will consider your proposal."

"Then, let's leave it at that..."

On the eve of his departure, Feng Yi did not forget to casually take an orange. His next stop was...

The Bull Planet was lush with vegetation, ancient trees stretched to the sky, and as evening twilight fell, the warriors returning from their hunting trips began their journey home...

With the war's end, the local economy had been steadily improving. Though the Bull Planet was not originally developed, and some people still lived among the grass and trees, the residents, accustomed to their local environment, now had more than the old, worn-out rice rifles and civilian vehicles. They now had militarized vehicles and tanks, and even retired Gundams could be seen everywhere.

With the arrival of the Bounty Tribe, local residents eagerly enlisted in droves every day. For many adventurers, joining the Bounty Tribe was the only way to rent combat vehicles, to hire mobile fighters, and to spend years exploring and hunting outdoors. What could be more reliable than these partners to shield one from the elements?

Of course, if you are a new member of the Bounty Tribe, the resources you're able to rent will be quite limited. You can only choose from automated rifles, photon energy lasers, twin-headed ice and fire serpents, and a variety of small cannon types for rent. Only by continuously creating value for the Bounty Tribe and increasing honor points can you qualify to rent higher-level equipment.

It is said that with honor points reaching 500, becoming a senior member, not only can you enjoy countless free drinks and meals in the tavern, but you can also enjoy free information services. Even task delegations will enter the priority list, offering freedom of choice. Moreover, senior members are also eligible to exchange points for a variety of handy equipment.

Combat Power Testers were definitely in high demand. Once you had one, you could determine the difference in strength between you and your enemy at first notice. However, such top-tier equipment like the Combat Power Tester was generally unattainable for most people, as it was priced in the hundreds of thousands and was not cost-effective.

Compared to the Combat Power Tester, the equipment that could be exchanged with 500 points was countless. For example, a Gundam, even though it was old-fashioned, awkward to handle, and not equipped with hot weapons, just with basic Titanium Alloy knives or longspears, swords, its formidable defensive capacity and close-combat abilities were what really mattered.

If you had the money, you could also replace modern equipment at the equipment service center. The Gatling Cannon was a cheap yet formidable mass attack weapon. There were also 45mm cannons, 55mm cannons, 75 cannons, 80mm anti-aircraft guns, 105mm howitzers. These pieces of equipment were relatively inexpensive and were the best choice for early to mid-stage explorers.

Assuming you could possess any one of the aforementioned pieces of equipment, your honor points would skyrocket uncontrollably, like a rocket...

Of course, aside from the above equipment, new members could also settle for less and opt for a combat jeep armed with cannons. Strictly speaking, the protective capabilities of a combat vehicle were even more reliable than a Gundam, as both the engine load capacity and the armor coefficient of a combat vehicle exceeded those of a Gundam. Because of speed reasons and adaptability to terrain, along with many efficiency factors, combat vehicles had become the standout choice for the second tier.

Further down the line were field motorcycles coupled with the combat dog Boqi. Combat dog Boqi was highly agile and very human-friendly, and coupled with the flexibility of the field motorcycle, the combination of the two was definitely the concept of 1 + 1 > 2, considered the end of the second tier.

The reason it was said to be at the end of the second tier was simple: in fact, the efficiency of combat dog Boqi and field motorcycles together far surpassed that of combat vehicles—the difference lay in their defensive power.
