But, even if it's unbearable, Feng Yi had to endure. This was a matter of principle. Screw the principles, Feng Yi admittedly had no real principles to speak of, yet even he wasn't so cheap as to act irresponsibly towards a girl just before his departure. After all, what lay ahead was uncertain, it could be that there wouldn't be an "afterward".

Today, it seemed that Sheng Qiangwei had endless things to talk about. They talked about the planets and the moon, they talked about life and dreams, finished with dreams and then talked about reality. Once they finished with reality, the conversation drifted back to stars and the moon again.

Feng Yi realized that this girl was held back by her surroundings. She was, after all, a girl who grew up in an ordinary family. Her living environment inevitably placed limits on her dreams. She was busy with the Rose Guild in Star Wars, and she was also busy with her studies. She even had to go out and do part-time jobs on weekend evenings to earn some extra money. Her days were fulfilling and joyful, albeit a tad regretful.

Feng Yi suggested that Shang Qiangwei should focus on one thing, but apart from giving advice he wasn't able to provide anything else. He thought about offering money, but he knew well that stubborn Sheng Qiangwei's pride wouldn't allow her to accept his sponsorships.

When it came to discussing her future plans, Shang Qiangwei admitted that she too was lost. Even though she ranked high in the field of command, she was unsure of her direction due to the many aspects she had to consider.

On the contrary, Feng Yi straightforwardly extended an olive branch to Sheng Qiangwei. If she hadn't figured out what to do after graduating, she could come to work for his Bounty Tribe for a while, to gain experience and take some time to consider her future course. Feng Yi claimed that she could find Weirbo at that time. Given his relationship with President Weirbo, it wouldn't be too hard to transfer a student from a military school. Of course, this option would only be temporary, as she would eventually have to set off towards her dreams.

The two chatted until the wee hours, and as a result, Shang Qiangwei was late for school the next day.

In the end, Feng Yi made one last visit to some of his old friends from Wind Thunder, lingering for a long time at the Relief Center where Guo Guo lived before he finally left...

After some time, Feng Yi showed up in Maraca's Bounty Tribe in Freedom Port. When he returned to this place, he found that the once small-scale Bounty Tribe had undergone a major transformation. The area it covered was countless times bigger than before, it seemed that it had been well managed by Francis.

Now, the layout of the Bounty Tribe was quite ostentatious. The former hustle and bustle was replaced by a retro castle vibe. The castle was surrounded by native giant plants and green grass. There were crowds of people coming and going both inside and outside the guild. Some of them were there to entrust tasks, some were out there to perform them.

Outside the castle was filled with various people. There were Federation tourists who came specifically to observe from a distance, independent mercenaries armed to their teeth guarding the entrusted supplies, fighters going back and forth in the outdoor fighting arena, and endless shouting from below, including those betting. There was even a three-person team that had managed to secure an armed jeep.

In the unpopulated suburbs of Maraca's Freedom Port, fierce birds and beasts were not uncommon. To hunt these creatures, one must be equipped with powerful gear. The armored jeeps, one of Maraca's most prominent features, not only earned you honor points but also brought wealth, fame, and women. It was every independent mercenary's dream. Half a year later, someone even managed to get hold of an armored jeep.

Of course, the local beasts were also ranked. Their carcasses were used as ingredients for medicine and precious food or processed goods that went on the market. The Rewards Tribe took a share of the profits. In just half a year, Francis had managed to fundamentally transform the place. That guy truly had talent.

As the proprietor who had left everything in his hands, Feng Yi was quite pleased with the current layout of the Bounty Tribe.

Now, Francis had become the dreamy Prince Charming for countless women. Not only was he academically excellent and talented, but he was also humorous. As a handsome and rich gentleman, Francis was the undisputed authority in the Bounty Tribe.

Rumor had it that Francis had reached a consensus with space pirates on a certain route, and the Rewards Tribe would be expanding to an unexplored star region at the beginning of next month. Hunting the 82 types of beasts there would become the main task for independent mercenaries, each team would be allocated an armed jeep. Accompanied by high risks were immeasurable benefits, of course.

The Bounty Tribe was now so crowded you couldn't even squeeze in. If just spent a year in that remote planet, you wouldn't have to worry about money or women for the rest of your life.

The pity was, those who were going to carry out the tasks were chosen internally, with those with higher honor scores given priority.

Isn't living in this world all about living with passion? A life lived lazily is still a life. Instead of muddling along, why not become a freelance mercenary and achieve something big? It's not too late to sign up for the Freelancer Bounty Guild now. Undoubtedly, this profession was destined to spread throughout many major star regions in the future.

The Freelancer Bounty Guild wasn't as simple as one might think. With the continuous growth and expansion of the guild, the entrance requirements were also rising. It used to be that anyone could join, many young children even cried to join.

Interestingly, for the early applicants, even if they were children, the guild left a recommendation place for them until they turned 16. After all, they were the group of people who genuinely supported the guild in the early days, which was also a form of promotion.

Now, it was entirely different. Those who wanted to join must pass a professional examination. Of course, those who didn't meet the requirements would receive training and guidance from professional instructors in a variety of areas, including combat, studying, basic weapon operation, and lawful use of weaponry. They often started with small chores like carrying bags and weeding, and received an intern mercenary position allowance.

For the sake of this dream, the Freelancers Bounty Guild was now so hot that it couldn't get hotter. In an official interview, Francis pledged to set special recruitment cases for veterans who leave the battlefield. However, it was also relative, after all, with so many vacancies they couldn't open spots for all soldiers, or they would go bankrupt.

The federal government was of course more than happy about these sorts of benefits. Now many soldiers were local laborers who rushed to the Freelancers Bounty Tribe upon hearing the news. It was indeed surprising that even Hans began to consider whether he should apply to join the own mercenary system in the game. The mainstream was the market, and facts have proven that people's visions are sharp. One cannot be the enemy of the public, this was absolutely a great business opportunity.

In the high-level members' bar of the Reward Guild, Francis was waiting for a guest, a graduate of the Yingland Intelligence System. But as he waited, the real boss behind the scenes arrived instead of the guest.
