My carefree life in space

Chapter 180 The Lost Ruins

The next day, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze arrived at Kyle's house at the agreed time. When they arrived, the others had just arrived as well, so they immediately headed to the Mercenary Guild.

There was a little incident before we set off.

At first, when everyone saw Lin Shushu come over, they thought she was there to keep Lisa company. But when they saw that she was leaving together, their expressions changed.

Finally, Kyle pulled Moze aside, pointed at Lin Shushu, and hesitated before asking, "Are you... is she going too?"

In Kyle's subconscious, Lin Shushu was someone who needed to be protected. Normally it would be fine, but now they were going on a mission, wouldn't bringing her along be a burden? However, he dared not say those two words out loud.

Mo Ze raised an eyebrow. "Is there a problem?"

Kyle's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "This isn't a problem? Bro, I know you're amazing, but taking her with you... it's just inconvenient! Besides, are you really willing to put her in danger?"

Mo Ze smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Kyle decided to try someone else.

He went to his sister, hoping she could persuade Lin Shushu to stay, but Lisa, knowing Lin Shushu was going, insisted on going too. In the past, she had no choice but to accept her brother's objections, but now, with such an example before her, she wouldn't give in this time.

So, the group of nine set off. Kyle not only failed to keep Lin Shushu, but his sister also came along.

Even Kyle couldn't stop it, so the others couldn't say anything either. As for what they were thinking, only they themselves knew.

Soon, they arrived at the Mercenary Guild. The mission posting hall was bustling with activity. The walls were covered with a dazzling array of mission lists, making it difficult to keep up with the sight.

Lin Shushu discovered that these tasks were truly diverse, ranging from escorting caravans through perilous wildernesses to exploring mysterious ancient ruins, or investigating mineral resources and hunting exotic beasts.

Mercenary teams from all over the world gathered here. They were diverse in appearance and style, but without exception, they all set their sights on the mission list, looking for missions that suited them.

Mo Ze's gaze was drawn to a mission to explore ruins, and Lin Shushu followed his gaze and became interested as well.

Kyle glanced at the list, about to discuss with Moze which mission to take, when he noticed their gazes were fixed in the same direction. He looked over as well, and immediately understood.

"Are you interested?"

Although this task remained at the top of the leaderboard and many people chose it, none of them succeeded. Gradually, people both longed for it and felt helpless about it.

"Can you tell us about it?" Seeing that Kyle seemed to know a lot about the mission, Moze asked.

Kyle glanced at his friends and saw that they were all looking at things that interested them, so he wasn't in a hurry to accept the task and instead started explaining it to the two of them.

The Olay Empire has a long-standing legend that their ancestors came from a distant, fantastical land. The people there have long lifespans and possess extraordinary abilities, able to control even the trajectory of a star or the fate of a planet at will.

However, an unknown event led to the exile of the ancestors of the Olay Empire to this unfamiliar land. From then on, the desire to return to their homeland was passed down through generations, becoming an obsession deep in the soul of the Olay people.

They firmly believe that finding that mysterious ruin will provide clues to returning home and restoring their former glory and power. For millennia, countless people have embarked on this arduous journey to find it.

However, the ruins seemed to deliberately hide from the world; no matter how hard the Olay people tried, they could never find a trace of them. Many perished in their search. Hope was shattered time and again, but the Olay people never gave up their yearning for their ancestral land.

That place is like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding them to explore and wander in the mists of history, hoping that one day they can unravel the mystery, restore the glory of their ancestors, and find the way home to their beautiful and mystical homeland.

As Kyle recounted his story, a tremendous wave surged within Lin Shushu. Could this be the place she was thinking of? Could it be that the ancestors of the Olay Empire truly came from the world of cultivation?

Otherwise, how can we explain the image of the homeland that Kyle depicted, and the long lifespan and superhuman abilities of the people there?

After Kyle finished speaking, he failed to notice the fleeting glint in their eyes. He advised, "It's not just you Jin Yuan people who are interested in this ruin. Everyone here has dreamed of finding their homeland, but who has succeeded over the years?"

The implication is that if we can't even find our own people, let alone outsiders like you, I advise you to give up as soon as possible!

The two understood, exchanged a glance, and made a decision. On the surface, however, they appeared to have been taught a lesson and indicated that they would not overestimate their abilities.

Kyle nodded in satisfaction and turned around to ask his teammates if they had chosen their missions, but then he saw a group of annoying people walking towards him, and his face immediately darkened.

Noticing his unusual behavior, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze turned their attention to a group of people who were swaggering toward them.

The leader was a burly man with a face full of scars. He was bare-chested and had a string of beast fangs hanging around his neck, showing off his bravery.

"Hey, isn't this Kyle? I heard you lost to some Jin Yuan guy yesterday. When did you become so pathetic?" The burly man's words were full of sarcasm.

Kelton's eyes widened in anger, and he stepped forward, "Barlow, shut your mouth! It's none of your business what I am!"

"That's right, mind your own business. What does our Blazing Fire Mercenary Group's business have to do with your Mad Lion Mercenary Group?" Resia chimed in. They had surrounded the Mad Lion Mercenary Group as soon as they appeared.

The two mercenary groups are evenly matched and have been constantly vying for power. Whenever they appear together, trouble is bound to arise.

Seeing this, the other members of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group also gathered around, each with an unfriendly expression.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense, and the surrounding mercenaries cast curious glances, making a conflict inevitable.

At this moment, Barlow saw Moze and Lin Shushu behind Kyle. Their appearance, which was different from that of the Orleans, immediately reminded him of what happened yesterday.

"Kyle, you didn't lose to the kid behind you, did you? What, is your Fire Mercenary Group changing leaders? You should have said so earlier. If you had joined us sooner, I might have made you a vice-leader." Balo finished speaking and burst into laughter.

The other members of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group joined in the laughter, one of them saying, "That's right, if you submit to us, we'll eat the meat, and we won't leave you with nothing but soup."

Kyle's men glared at them angrily, and war between the two sides was imminent.
