"Oh, by the way, there's something else."

Just as the conversation was about to end, Yun You suddenly spoke up and asked, "Momoka, have you ever heard of the 'Star-Attracting Skill'?"

"Or do you know any news related to it?"

At this moment, Momoka was about to instinctively say she hadn't heard of it, but the words got stuck in her throat, and she suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Star... Attracting..."

After a long while, she whispered, "Are you referring to that Body Training Manual called the Star-Attracting Skill?"

"Yes!"

Yun You nodded somewhat excitedly.

Seeing Momoka's reaction, she probably knows something about it.

If she could find the Star-Attracting Skill through this girl, then Yun You's trip wouldn't be in vain.

"Do you have it now? We could have a fair trade..."

Hearing this, Momoka shook her head.

"Don't get excited just yet. I never said I have it. I've only heard some rumors about this manual."

The smile on Yun You's face froze, and she felt a bit disheartened.

It's actually quite normal if you think about it. Old Jin had mentioned before that the felon carrying the remnants of the Star-Attracting Skill was captured and taken to the Floating Island almost unnoticed by anyone.

His identity was well hidden, and his incarceration time was uncertain, making it like finding a needle in a haystack to locate such a person.

If this person didn't want to reveal himself and only sought to eke out a living on the Floating Island, it would obviously be extremely difficult for others to find him.

Momoka only controlled a quarter of the Floating Island's area, so it was quite normal not to find one prisoner.

"I was being too impatient."

Yun You shook her head, forcefully correcting her mindset, although she still felt slightly regretful inside.

"However..."

Just when the young girl was silently disappointed, Momoka spoke again, piquing Yun You's interest once more.

"However, speaking of rare body training materials, I do have some intel."

Yun You raised her head again, her excited expression hidden beneath her mask, but her ruby-like eyes flickered with a fiery light, as if urging Momoka to hurry and speak, not to keep her in suspense any longer.

Momoka, being so clever, could naturally read the young girl's gaze and nodded to explain.

"Three days ago, at dawn, I was maintaining the newly built surveillance system in the camp."

"This system isn't complete but can already fill in the Apprentice Death God's sensory gaps, using 360-degree angle-free vision to monitor every corner."

"Theoretically speaking, even an Apprentice Death God skilled in stealth couldn't bypass this surveillance."

"However, that night, a man in a gray robe consecutively avoided 29 cameras, slipped past all the Apprentice Death Gods and mercenaries under my command, and came straight to me."

"His strength wasn't very strong, I could tell, if he faced someone like you, an Apprentice Death God, he probably couldn't last even a single round."

"But his footsteps were quite strange, almost... unbelievable."

"He could perceive the 'frame interval' captured by the surveillance cameras, using the gap between one frame and another, infiltrating our camp, completely hiding his body in shadows."

"With such a skill, not just on the Floating Island, even old high-tier Apprentice Death Gods might find it hard to achieve, wouldn't they?"

Hearing this, Yun You nodded lightly.

When she arrived at the camp earlier, she had observed that the cameras Momoka installed were 60 frames per second models.

In other words, to move within the frame-to-frame interval, this person's nerve response ability and speed had to reach at least 0.01 seconds per action.

A truly astounding figure, and even Yun You, with her physique at the extreme level of Tier One, could not achieve that.

Moreover, sheer speed wasn't enough; to perfectly control each frame's interval, he also had to calculate his landing spots, ensuring every step hid him in shadows, avoiding catching Momoka's attention through slow motion to track his movements.

This person certainly wasn't simple...

"At first, I thought he was wearing some kind of special prosthetic body, allowing him to just evade surveillance... after all, someone not very strong shouldn't be capable of such exquisite footsteps."

"But soon, my hacker chip informed me that there wasn't any trace of modification on him, nor was there any prosthetic body whatsoever."

"He was merely a 'flesh and blood person'..."

Upon saying this, Momoka paused slightly once more.

"Though, he wasn't hostile towards me, only wanting to make a deal."

"That guy somehow got wind of my identity and found me, hoping I'd make a high offer to purchase a 'treasure' he had."

"And that treasure was the 'manual' that allowed an ordinary person like him to develop footwork on par with or even surpassing an Apprentice Death God."

With these words, Yun You could almost conclude that the so-called "ordinary person" was likely the felon she was seeking.

And the manual in that person's possession was precisely another remnant of the Star-Attracting Skill!

Though Old Jin had said before... that the felon shouldn't be able to practice the Star-Attracting Skill, after all, it's not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could learn.

But perhaps this person just happened to be extraordinarily gifted, able to learn it in a short time, which couldn't be ruled out either.

"Did you end up agreeing to his request?"

Yun You lowered her voice, asking, "Such a bizarre item, as the daughter of Hugo Pharmaceuticals, you should have been able to see its potential value, right?"

"Of course, but I still didn't agree to him immediately."

Momoka gently shook her head and explained, "Because his conditions were simply too outrageous."

"He not only wanted me to take him away, give him a new identity, and let him live incognito in another Nest City, but also demanded 5% of Hugo Pharmaceuticals' shares from me."

"Although my father had handed over a small portion of the company's shares to me a year ago, about 20%, so forfeiting 5% wasn't entirely unacceptable, that price was completely unreasonable."

"As of last year, my family's company's market value had already reached 20 billion, so even just 5% would be worth 1 billion Yuan, and Hugo Pharmaceuticals is still in its expansion phase, meaning those shares could be worth tens of billions in the future."

"If it were Wu Ming, he might have given it, after all, for Apprentice Death Gods, money is extraneous, what matters most is power."

"But I don't have the talent to become an Apprentice Death God, so even if I practiced this manual, it wouldn't bring me too much benefit. Instead, it would cause my father and me an undue major loss."

"I couldn't agree to such a demand, whether as Momoka or as Vivian Hugo."
