“That’s pretty normal.” Ning Yuchen said, “The people of Silver Plume are often in danger because of the beasts in the forests, That’s why the population is not growing. What’s more, Northern Wilderness soldiers are not allowed to marry Silver Plume people. After your ten years of service ends, you are required to return to your homeland, unless you’re chosen by the shrine. That is why the population has been stagnant. This is actually true for most of the planets in Northern Wilderness Starfield—a small populace congregated in a large capital city!”

Chen Xiaobei nodded and then asked, “Do they also speak Mandarin here?”

“Yeah. In fact, Chinese is the universal language!” Ning Yuchen said proudly. “And the Chinese influence doesn’t stop there! In higher ranked starfields, you will find even more oriental elements like traditional chinese medicine, immortality pills, martial arts, etcetera!”

“Er… Why is that?”

Chen Xiaobei found this rather puzzling.

“There is a legend—I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it before—that claims that the Chinese are the forefathers of the entire universe!”

“Oh, yes! I’ve heard that before!” Chen XIaobie nodded eagerly.

Billions of universes, the shadows of the past!

Millions of stars, the sands of a bygone era!

The entire universe was the product of the collapse of the ancestral land; thusly, its people were the ancestors of the universe!

The higher ranked starfield are closer to the heavenly realm and naturally, bears a closer semblance to the Void Land!”

“Are people who are skilled in concocting immortality pills and those who practice traditional chinese medicine highly sought after here?”

“Of course!” Liu Chen intervened. “Traditional chinese medicine goes back thousands of years, way before western medicine even existed. The high officials and the rich of the higher ranking starfield only seek traditional Chinese practitioners; only the poorest of the poor consult western doctors!”

‘Wow! That’s great!” Chen Xiaobei was thrilled.

When it came to traditional chinese medicinal practice, Chen Xiaobei had managed to snatch the Red Envelopes from Hua Tuo, Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao. Technically speaking, he had already mastered the art of traditional chinese medicinal practice.

Chen Xiaobei was most certainly the top traditional Chinese medicine practitioner even in the higher ranked starfield.

“Then what about alchemists of immortality pills?”

“Do you even need to ask?” Liu Chen explained. “Chinese alchemists have an even higher standing than traditional Chinese medicine doctors! Immortality pills are considered superior to traditional Chinese medicine. It can induce remarkable effects which are very valuable to practitioners! A true Chinese Alchemist may even be consecrated in capital cities. They can do whatever they want in the castle. Even the governors have to pay them high respect!”

Chen Xiaobei was ecstatic.

He also knew how to concoct pills!

Even though he had limited prescriptions, he could always get more from the Three Realms Red Envelope Group!

For him to become the best Chinese alchemist was only a matter of time!

“Oh yeah, by governor you mean the leader of Silver Plume City, right?”

“Yup!” Ning Yuchen replied. “Like I told you, the planets are like provinces, and the governors are the leaders.”

Li Chen added, “If you can make yourself becomes the VIP of governor, you can basically do whatever you like in this planet!”

“Hey, why are we talking about this? It’s not like its something we can achieve! Hurry up! We came here to drink!”

Hu Ben put away his flying car and ushered the group into the city.

The city was really exotic.

Amidst the modern, futuristic towers were building that boasts of the curved roof and elaborate cornices of ancient Chinese Architecture.

There were people in flying vehicles and there were also people on snow-white, one-horned beasts.

Even the people of the city were made up of a rainbow of nationalities, and skin color—enough to dazzle you.

The physical appearance of the people of Silver Plume Planet were similar to people from Earth. The most prominent difference was the silver hairband shaped like feathers that grew on their ears. Hence, the name Silver Plume.

“Don’t underestimate those two silver hairs. In this planet, it is the symbol of nobility!” Ning Yuchen warned, “Foreigners like us are just civilians! Never ever engage in conflict with them!”

“Don’t worry. I’m just a Zero-Star Black Steel rookie. I will not be ruffling anyone’s feathers, especially not the nobles’!”

Chen Xiaobei smiled.

“Little brother Zhufeng, what happened to that macho manliness from earlier? How could you just admit defeat like that?” Li Chen teased.

Chen Xiaobei merely smiled at her, then turned around to ask, “Is that the pub in front? It looks pretty good!”

“Yeah, that’s the one!” Hu Ben quickened his pace to almost a sprint and said, “I’ll go ahead and try to get us a table! Hurry up!”

Chen Xiaobei and the others followed his lead.

The pub was in full swing—loud and crowded. People were shouting at each other above the noise, trying to converse, some were chugging down bottles after bottles of liquor, and shoving hunks of meat down their gullet.

“No wonder Hu Ben likes this place. It’s full of loose macho men like him!”

“Why? You’re not used to this kind of environment?” Ning Yuchen asked.

“No! No! As long as you’re with the right people, you can still have a great time no matter where you go!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

“That’s more like it!” Liu Chen wiggled her brows. “Let’s get over there. Hu Ben found us a table!”

Once they had settled down in their seats, Hu Ben wasted no time ordering three large jars of liquors. Ning Yuchen ordered some food to accompany the wine, and Liu Chen ordered some roasted meat and vegetables.

The three of them had great synergy and close bond. They were the quintessence of comrades who fight by each other.

The dishes arrived quickly.

But an extra dish was served up. The woman who brought it was a well-groomed woman in her thirties. Her skin was firm and her body ravishing. All eyes were glued on her as she made her way to their table.

“Sister Hua! Giving Hu Ben an extra dish again?”

Li Chen smiled cheekily.

“Ahem…”

Hu Ben cleared his throat, his chiseled face reddened.

The woman called Sister Hua smiled. “I heard that Hu Ben brought a new friend with him! That’s why I brought a Golden Spiritual Fish for you to taste!”

“Thank you Sister Hua!”

Ning Yuchen accepted the dish with both hands and placed it on the table.

Sister Hua remained at the table for a while then chided Hu Ben, “You fool! Are you going to introduce me to your new friend or what?”

“Huh? Oh!” Hu Ben jumped from his seat. “This is Chen Zhufeng and because him, boss gets to live to see another day! From today onwards, he is my good brother!”

“What? He’s so young! How could he save Yuchen?”

Sister Hua was rather shocked by it. She then took a good look at Chen Xiaobei and asked, “May I know what is your current rank? You are a hero!”

“Sister Hua, I think you have misunderstood me. I’m really weak. I’m just a rookie with Zero-Star Black Steel! Yes. You heard it right. Zero Star!”
