Chapter 201
Perhaps this personal terminal didn’t originally belong to the black hole; maybe he acquired it after eliminating an enemy.
After a brief hesitation, Ye Bai decided to exchange her points for the black hole’s rewards.
The functionality of the exchange area had already been demonstrated to Ye Bai by the black hole itself. If there were any issues with this personal terminal, she would have been attacked by enemies by now.
【Exchange for Unregulated Metamorphosis will consume 60 Star Points. Do you wish to proceed?】
The feedback from the personal terminal caught Ye Bai off guard. She noticed that the currency unit was referred to as "Star Points."
Star... could it be the name of the background she had speculated about?
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Bai confirmed her choice.
【Purchase successful! Remaining points: 261.】
In the next instant, Ye Bai felt a subtle wave emanating from the personal terminal in her hand. Looking down at her palms, she discovered a layer of ethereal, dazzling light enveloping them.
Under this glow, the shape of her hands became chaotic and ever-changing. All the sensations of movement felt the same as before, but their appearance was constantly shifting under the influence of the shimmering light.
Ye Bai approached a shattered reflective panel and, from its surface, saw that her appearance had undergone a complete transformation.
She had become someone with no distinct features—neither facial characteristics, body type, nor ethnicity. Strangely, the details of her face seemed to distort vision; at first glance, it was clear she was human, with eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, but upon closer inspection, everything became hazy, lacking any key identifiers.
It was exactly the image of the black hole she had seen before.
The Unregulated Metamorphosis was a continuous effect, like a garment that, once purchased, would remain active. She could choose to deactivate it, but reactivating it would require another purchase.
Since the black hole had been defeated by Ye Bai, it seemed this effect had been deemed inactive, meaning she needed to buy it again.
The blurred reflection of her face smiled back at her. This successful attempt meant that Ye Bai had taken the first step toward disguising herself as a black hole in the chaotic sea of stars.
To that end, Ye Bai carefully reviewed the other information contained in her personal terminal, aside from the three key functions.
The most crucial part was, of course, the section that reflected the black hole’s social connections and power dynamics.
Ye Bai found the black hole’s contact list but didn’t gain any useful information.
Perhaps these were individuals the black hole could directly contact through this terminal, but all she saw were the same codenames, with no additional notes. After all, an A-level psychic’s memory was incredibly powerful; it was impossible for them to forget relevant people and information.
Moreover, if the black hole belonged to a certain faction, he would undoubtedly be a high-ranking figure, or perhaps even the leader of an organization. Ye Bai hadn’t forgotten that the only reason the other party might know about her was due to the Makur Group.
This path was clearly a dead end. Ye Bai turned her attention to the information revealed in the black hole’s transaction records.
Opening the transaction history in the exchange area, it became evident that the black hole was a well-known powerhouse among those who possessed this terminal in the chaotic sea of stars. After completing tasks, he received numerous compliments and positive feedback.
Additionally, the black hole’s trading level was impressively high—
Those who posted transaction information in the exchange area could choose a fixed codename or remain anonymous, and there was also a rating system that increased based on the number of completed transactions and their difficulty.
The involvement of a difficulty assessment and rating system further indicated that there was a significant background supporting him.
The black hole’s level displayed a full five stars, the highest Ye Bai had seen in the exchange area.
Since transactions in the exchange area were anonymous, Ye Bai quickly formulated her next course of action.
Using the completed transaction details of the black hole, along with the numerous transaction records in the exchange area, Ye Bai identified a frequently mentioned location called the "Base Magnetic Transfer Station." This place was clearly an area where people were active.
Although Ye Bai was now a B-level psychic and could survive a month without food, she had just been injured. Despite her advancement, the damage still lingered. She needed to find a place to replenish her strength, and with the potential threat from the black hole still unconfirmed, staying on this desolate planet was undoubtedly a passive choice—one that a wise person would avoid.
Next, Ye Bai used the black hole’s account to post a simple transaction in the exchange area for 5 points, offering the coordinates of this planet and a ride for someone to the Base Magnetic Transfer Station, with a time limit of 24 hours.
The exchange area wasn’t solely filled with high-difficulty assassination missions; there were various small tasks as well. Ye Bai provided the approximate area of her current unknown desolate planet based on the coordinates recorded on the black hole’s terminal, carefully referencing similar transactions posted by others to set the content and price.
Initially, Ye Bai intended to test the waters, planning to raise the price if no one took the transaction.
To her surprise, almost the moment she posted the transaction, she received a flurry of acceptance replies, all indicating interest in taking the task, though they were all low-level, with the highest being two stars.
The responses were cautious yet eager, detailing how quickly they could arrive and the impressive performance of their ships, which could reach the destination swiftly.
Ye Bai chose one that promised a quick arrival and had a pleasant tone.
The other party immediately confirmed they were nearby and could reach the target star region within twenty minutes.
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the black hole’s five-star account held significant weight in the exchange area, possibly even carrying other implications. But those were matters to be confirmed later...
...
Though they said twenty minutes, the trader arrived at the coordinates Ye Bai provided in just fifteen minutes.
At that moment, Ye Bai had just reached the vicinity of the designated coordinates.
A small spacecraft appeared in the sky, hovering steadily above.
Inside the ship was a four-person team. From a distance, they spotted Ye Bai on the ground, and the blue-skinned woman leading the group immediately called out, “Let’s not keep the guest waiting. This transaction was posted by a five-star powerhouse—five stars! At the very least, they’re a B-level strong!”
One of the hulking figures with giant bloodlines patted his chest and replied, “Don’t worry, boss! We get it. We won’t scare that little one!”
“Lower the altitude and deploy the aerial ladder to bring them up.”
As the blue-skinned woman issued the command, the rest of the team was curious about the identity of this “little one.” Suddenly, they saw the figure on the ground stop in their tracks.
Meanwhile, seeing that the “ride” had arrived, Ye Bai stretched her limbs, extending her psychic energy beneath her feet. In the next moment, she shot straight up into the sky.
The team, who had been puzzled by the sudden halt, was momentarily stunned.
“...B, B-level?!!”
Wasn’t this supposed to be someone related to the five-star powerhouse? How could it be a flying B-level strong? Did such a powerful individual really need to post a task to hitch a ride on their ship?
“Tap, tap, tap…”
Before they could fully process what was happening, Ye Bai had already reached the outside of their ship and knocked on the hull.
“Could you open the door for me?” Ye Bai, now on her third time actively boarding a ship, politely asked while floating in the air.
