I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 252 - Survival in Space, Reactions from All Sides



Inside the dark and deep universe, the Black Gate opened, and more than a dozen figures streamed out.
The weightless and oxygen-deprived environment made many geniuses extremely uncomfortable; although they had just escaped danger, if the oxygen problem was not resolved, they still would not be able to survive.
Bang!
The Black Gate closed, and the last figure flew out. The next moment, countless black metal pieces extended over his body like living things, transforming into a set of oppressive black battle armor in less than half a second.
This was Starry Sky Armor!
Everyone looked at the Black Demon Armor on Qin Tian’s body, their hearts filled with shock.
Did Black Crow guess the current situation, how did he even bring Starry Sky Armor with him?
After the shock, there was intense envy. With the Starry Sky Armor, Black Crow could at least survive in space for a few days, enough to last until rescue arrived.
Just then, Jiela on Qin Tian’s wrist suddenly grew, splitting into more than a dozen vine branches.
“Grab it!”
A clear, cold voice resonated in everyone’s minds.
The geniuses instinctively grabbed the vines. Then, the vines glowed with white light, condensing into milky-white energy spheres that enveloped each genius.
In an instant, the geniuses felt their bodies lighten, and oxygen rushed towards them.
They were saved!
The geniuses’ eyes lit up, and they exclaimed in surprise:
“There’s oxygen, we can live!”
“Black Crow, thank you so much!”
“We truly owe our survival this time to you. Once we return, I will definitely repay you with a generous gift.”
“Me too!”
No one had expected that Black Crow’s symbiotic spirit plant could not only kill “ghosts” but also provide a shield in space to resist cosmic radiation and continuously supply oxygen, giving everyone hope of survival.
This spirit plant was simply too versatile.
“By the way, did you prepare this Starry Sky Armor in advance?”
Qin Tian: “No, I stole it two days ago.”
Sto—len.
Thinking of Black Crow’s past actions, everyone’s mouths twitched, speechless.
It truly is you, Zhuge Yu. He opened his {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} smart device and searched for his current location.
“Centaurus Sector, we actually came here.”

The Centaurus Sector was at least a week’s journey from Qingmu Star, and they had only spent a dozen minutes in the spatial Turbulence.
“This is the Centaurus Sector? I’m at my doorstep!”
At this moment, Wu Ziyan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately said:
“I’ll contact my family right away and have them send a spaceship to pick us up as quickly as possible.”
“Good!”
Zhuge Yu nodded and said, “Everyone, let’s also quickly report our safety to our families.”
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly took out their smart devices and contacted their families.
At this very moment, their families must be frantic.
Inside a room on Tianhuo Star in the Centaurus Sector, Wu Shouwen paced back and forth anxiously. Beside him, a beautiful young woman silently wept, her eyes red.
“Mom, don’t be anxious.”
Wu Shouwen’s eldest son, Wu Jianming, held his mother’s hand and comforted her:
“The Zhuge Family’s Patriarch personally cast a divination, and the hexagram was auspicious, meaning our little sister will return safely.”
The beautiful young woman choked out, “I know, but the Zhuge Family can only tell that Ziyan is safe, but it’s unclear when exactly she’ll return. Is it one day, three days, a few months, or years from now?”
Hearing this, Wu Jianming’s expression also darkened. The Zhuge Family could indeed foresee parts of the future and judge good or bad fortune, but they were not gods; they couldn’t calculate the exact timing of everything.
“Ziyan.”
Wu Shouwen clenched his fists. If his precious daughter suffered even the slightest mishap, he would fight the Blood Demon Sect to the death for the rest of his life, never resting.
Beep, beep, beep! Just then, the beautiful young woman’s smart wristband suddenly vibrated.
She raised her hand to look, and her eyes immediately lit up with intense joy, shouting, “It’s Ziyan, it’s Ziyan calling!”
What!!!
Wu Shouwen and Wu Jianming quickly crowded over. When they saw the name on the smart wristband, the two grown men instantly had red eyes.
“Quick, answer it!”
Beep~
A video image was projected into the air, and a pretty face appeared.
“Dad, Mom, Brother!!!”
Wu Ziyan looked at her parents and brother, her previously stable emotions instantly collapsing as tears streamed down her face.
“I’m back.”
“Ziyan, where are you, where are you now!”
The beautiful young woman asked with a trembling voice.
Wu Ziyan: “I’m in the Centaurus Sector, the coordinates are… I and the others are floating in space. Please send a spaceship to pick us up quickly.”
“Good, good, you wait, I’ll send a spaceship over immediately.”
Wu Shouwen immediately made a call, instructing the family to notify all merchant fleets, financial groups, and even the military to see who was closest to Wu Ziyan’s coordinates and immediately send a spaceship to pick them up.
“Ziyan, I’ve already arranged it. You just wait where you are.”
At this point, Wu Shouwen finally noticed the environment around Wu Ziyan and quickly asked, “You’re in space, so how are you solving the oxygen problem? How long can you last?”
Wu Ziyan: “Don’t worry about that. There’s someone among us who has a sixth-tier symbiotic spirit plant. It can provide us with an energy shield to resist cosmic radiation and also supply oxygen. We can last for a day without issue. Oh, by the way, this person is called Black Crow. He was an examiner before. We owe our survival this time entirely to Zhuge Yu and Black Crow.”
Black Crow!
How could Wu Shouwen not know this person? After all, his entire family had watched Wu Ziyan’s live broadcast and personally witnessed how Black Crow snatched a bottle of pills from Wu Ziyan, causing her to make a fool of herself in front of hundreds of millions of viewers.
At that time, the hot-tempered Wu Shouwen had cursed Black Crow profusely. Who would have thought that in the end, it was Black Crow who saved his daughter?
“That’s good then. This time, we must thank him properly,” Wu Shouwen said seriously.
“Mm-hmm, Dad, then you guys hurry and come!”
“Don’t worry, I’m heading there now. I want to personally pick up my daughter.”
Qingmu Star “Elders, there’s news about those children!”
A middle-aged man quickly walked into the Elder Council, shouting loudly.
What!!
The Oriental Family’s Elders’ eyes lit up, and they quickly asked:
“Where are they now? Are there any casualties?”
The middle-aged man: “They’re in the Centaurus Sector. The Wu Family has already sent a spaceship to pick them up. Besides Lei Yao, there were no other casualties.”
Hearing this result, the many Elders couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
This is great! No other casualties. This is incredibly good news for the Oriental Family. Otherwise, they truly wouldn’t know how to explain themselves to those bloodline families and the outside world.
At this moment, Oriental Ke, who was seated in the first position, said in a deep voice:
“Tell the Wu Family to send them back to Qingmu Star after picking them up. The Genius Battle will continue, directly entering the arena battles.”
Hearing this, the Elders nodded slightly.
Yes, this matter absolutely cannot be overlooked lightly.
It must be made known to the outside world that the contestants are safe and sound, and the Genius Battle was not significantly affected, thereby preserving the Oriental Family’s prestige.
However, since it was indeed the Oriental Family’s lax oversight that led to this malicious incident, and there were even casualties, the Oriental Family is bound to pay a greater price to appease the emotions of these geniuses and the families behind them.
Of course, for the wealthy Oriental Family, this was nothing.
“Oh, and they also said that this time, those children were able to escape safely mainly thanks to one person who turned the tide,” the middle-aged man added.
“Who is he?”
The middle-aged man: “Black Crow!”
Black Crow, it’s him!
Hearing this name, a strange look appeared in the Elders’ eyes.
