Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1416: Balance (Volume 2 Finale)_3

Chapter 1416: Chapter 639: Balance (Volume 2 Finale)_3

Some exits allow a small amount of matter to leave the wormhole. With entry and exit, Earth people began to actively journey to the wormhole, and through years of infiltration, they achieved a certain balance with the Companion Star people. Together, they manage the wormhole people there.”

Li Banfeng said, “That means mutual enslavement.”

Professor Zhao pondered for a moment, “You could say that. Take the Land of Slumber in the Lavsha Nation, it’s a typical example.”

Saying this, Professor Zhao squeezed an octopus leg forcefully, “There’s one exit that is extremely special. This exit has undergone profound changes,

It no longer actively accretes and can permit a large amount of matter to leave the wormhole under certain conditions. In other words, this is a genuine entrance and exit, and this exit is Three-Head Fork, while this octopus leg represents Puluo State,

Logically speaking, this octopus leg is the ideal path for Companion Star people to go to Earth, but this path has been blocked because the wormhole people within this leg refuse enslavement by the Inner State. They have continually resisted and created their own unique civilization, which is what you referred to as Puluo State civilization.”

Li Banfeng sat in shock for a long time, gradually organizing his thoughts.

Professor Zhao said, “I can copy the data for you. That’s all I can say.”

“Don’t rush, there’s still the honeymoon period matter.”

Professor Zhao waved his hand continuously, saying, “Don’t ask me about the honeymoon period. You shouldn’t be asking me about these matters! You’re from the Dark Star Bureau, you naturally know more than I do,

Are you deliberately trying to extract information from me? I am not one of Yu Yaoming’s people. I’ve never killed anyone nor broken the law…”

The effect of the Foolish Cultivation Technique was a bit too much.

Li Banfeng advised, “I’m just conducting academic research with you. What we discussed earlier was all academic content. Nobody else knows about the things between us. Copy the data for me and let’s end today’s discussion here.”

…

Li Banfeng sat in the Dark Star Bureau’s office, reviewing case records.

Some of Zhao Zhihong’s media accounts indeed had been dealt with.

His academic results seem somewhat absurd. Yet, compared to his outlandish marketing accounts, there are plenty more absurd ones. Why is his account under special attention?

It turns out the Dark Star Bureau had been monitoring Zhao Zhihong for a long time, and there were numerous records about him here.

Chen Changrui knocked and entered the office: “Director Li, finally found you. The calls from above have been non-stop. The higher-ups now want to prevent the Demon Lord from instigating a war through communication and negotiation with the Inner State…”

Li Banfeng interrupted Chen Changrui: “Speak slower, I don’t understand. Why would communicating with the Inner State prevent the war incited by the Demon Lord? Isn’t the Inner State the same as the Demon Lord?”

Chen Changrui pursed his lips and said, “In principle, they are actually not the same.”

Li Banfeng invited Chen Changrui to sit down, patiently asking, “Then please explain the difference.”

“They belong to different factions and organizations, meaning they have different…”

Chen Changrui hesitated, explaining very laboriously.

Li Banfeng assisted him: “Just tell me, are they on the same planet?”

With the question put so clearly, Chen Changrui didn’t know how to dodge, so he simply remained silent.

Li Banfeng frowned and said, “I sometimes really don’t understand, why these things need to be hidden from me? Just because I am a Puluo State person?”

Chen Changrui glanced around, and Li Banfeng said, “Don’t worry, I’ve turned off all surveillance equipment.”

Chen Changrui used Peeping Cultivation Technique to verify, indeed not finding any peeping equipment in operation.

He lowered his voice and said, “Actually, I know you’re not really a person from Puluo State. You’re Li Banfeng, Li Banfeng who graduated from Yuezhou University.”

Li Banfeng didn’t deny it, “And then? Since I am someone from another province yet also the person responsible for the Dark Star Bureau, why should certain things still be hidden from me?”

“Because there are some things even I don’t know, Bureau Shen doesn’t know either, nobody knows the entire situation. This has been the rule the Dark Star Bureau has adhered to over the years.”

“I believe this rule should be changed,” Li Banfeng handed Old Chen a cigarette, “tell me what you know, otherwise, I can’t help with mediating.”

Chen Changrui took a deep inhale: “I’ve been working in this field since graduating college, back when college graduates were considered rare,

I worked at the Outer Star Research Institute, in the Defense Agency, and have been in the Dark Star Bureau for many years. I do know a bit more than others,

You just asked about the planets, so you must already know something. The Dark Star is actually the companion star of the Sun, you should know this.”

Li Banfeng nodded.

Chen Changrui continued, “Below the Dark Star, there are altogether eleven planets, five Earth-like planets similar to Earth, primarily composed of rocks, and six Jupiter-like planets similar to Jupiter, primarily composed of gas,

Life exists on all these eleven planets. The Inner State we refer to is the Great Shang Kingdom living on the Third Planet.”

“Great Shang Kingdom?” Li Banfeng was greatly shocked, “Is there any connection with our historical Shang Dynasty…?”

“They are intimately linked in countless ways. These things I cannot clarify, but on the Third Planet, it’s not just one Great Shang Kingdom. There’s also the Demon Lord Kingdom, the White Falcon Alliance, as powerful as the Shang Dynasty, along with dozens of other considerable forces,

The Shang Dynasty was once the most formidable force on the Third Planet, but now due to internal strife and ongoing conflicts with Puluo State, its power is waning, allowing other forces to gradually take the initiative,
