Chapter 4: Cool and Sweet Style

In the interstellar travel team, Ji Chenxi's first encounter was not with any renowned scholars but with a pair of dragon and phoenix twins from the Imperial Star.

The two had similar faces and figures, with long hair—a deep black mixed with a streak of vibrant blue. From the moment Ji Chenxi saw them, he knew they were the ones sent to pick him up.

With just one glance, he made a basic assessment: they were at least A-rank alphas, with an aura of violence that suggested they were accustomed to living on the edge.

While Ji Chenxi was observing the dragon and phoenix twins, they were also examining him. The young man before them had long silver hair casually spread out, a delicate single tassel earring, a stylish ear bone piercing, and a leather collar with chains to suppress pheromones. His outfit featured a black T-shirt with stylish tear lines at the collar and a cool, oversized black jacket.

Upon meeting, the younger twin was immediately impressed by this stylish, cool look.

It was rare for an alpha with a cool style to have long hair.

As for the silver-haired alpha's details, they included beautiful starry blue eyes, a black mask covering most of his face, black half-finger gloves, and silver chains with small silver charms in the shape of cats hanging from them.

Ji Chenxi had been casually tossing coins from the start, and now that the people had arrived, he threw a rose-shaped coin, symbolizing his team membership, to the more composed-looking twin.

The twin caught the coin steadily, checked his identity, and asked in a slightly smoky female voice, "Chenxi?"

Ji Chenxi nodded, indicating, "Chenxi, flight KR4007."

The efficient female alpha nodded. "We're mercenaries in the team. I'm the elder sister, codenamed Underworld, and that's my brother."

The male alpha, who had been secretly scrutinizing Ji Chenxi, nodded respectfully. "Shadow, my codename is Shadow."

After aligning with the companions codenamed Underworld and Shadow, Ji Chenxi began his long-awaited interstellar journey.

Was it worth the 9.99 million star coins per person for this group trip that took two years to secure a spot?

These two were highly efficient. After just meeting him, they led him through a maze and onto a highly private starship.

Ji Chenxi slightly furrowed his brows. There was such a discreet yet convenient launch point on the edge of the Imperial Star; it seemed that these two were even more capable than he had thought. Such a covert departure point wasn't something just anyone could use.

Noticing his frown, the more composed sister activated the starship and said, "Don't worry. Your journey is legitimate and legal. It's just that our team's movements can't be exposed, so we're taking this route. As for your safety, it's guaranteed. Nearly half of the 9.99 million registration fee is allocated to hiring mercenaries like us to protect you."

Whether it was legitimate or legal was another matter. Ji Chenxi had to nod if he wanted to avoid complications.

He was aware that nearly half of their funds were spent on hiring mercenaries. Scholars didn't need to earn money in this way; if they were short on funds, they could simply seek financial backing from major conglomerates. The spots available were fewer than five and required a competitive selection process. It was merely older scholars looking for a few young people interested in scientific exploration.
