As The Wanderer steadily traversed the space graveyard littered with the remnants of war, the outline of the planet Obidus gradually became clear, its vastness and prosperity standing out in the tranquility of the universe. The lights of the city of Oz twinkled in the distance, like a bright star in space, guiding them forward.
Suddenly, Aidan's communicator rang, displaying a message from the Kronos organization. This mysterious group was known for their expertise in space smuggling and secret routes, and their communications were always indirect and shrouded in mystery. The message read: "Destination confirmed." It exuded a cold, professional demeanor, typical of the Kronos style.
Aidan quickly replied, confirming that their destination was the capital city of Obidus Star - the city of Oz. He knew that this journey was not only about uncovering the secrets of the "Forgotten City," but also an adventure deep into enemy territory. Oz was a complex chessboard, filled with corporate giants, political conspiracies, and underground trades.
The multiculturalism and vibrancy of Oz made it a paradise for interstellar travelers. Every street in the city had its own story, and every corner could potentially hide astonishing secrets. Lao Zhou's restaurant was just a small corner in this vast city, but for Aidan and his team, it could be the gateway to an unknown world.
Aidan knows well that behind the prosperity of the city of Oz lies countless risks and opportunities. They must search for clues to the "Forgotten City" in this mysterious city while avoiding lurking dangers. This is not only a treasure hunt, but also a test of their own and the team's abilities.
Aidan stared at the screen of the communicator, watching as the Kronos organization transmitted a new message. The sudden message popped up, indicating that an additional fee was required to enter the capital city of Oz. Aidan couldn't help but curse under his breath. This sudden price hike made him feel angry, but he also knew that facing such an organization, they didn't have much choice.
"Damn, these people really know how to make money," Aidan muttered, his voice filled with dissatisfaction and resignation. Immediately, he quickly typed a question on the communicator: "How much do you need exactly?" Aidan knew that in this kind of situation, bargaining was often futile.
Before long, a reply appeared on the communicator, displaying a cold, hard number: fifty thousand interstellar currency bars. This additional fee was not insignificant, but for a pirate crew eager to enter the Obidus star and avoid drawing attention, it was a necessary cost. Aidan stared at the number on the communicator, frowning at the demand of fifty thousand interstellar currency bars. He knew that dealings with the Krung organization were never simple, but he was also unwilling to easily give up the opportunity to negotiate. In such black market transactions, prices often had room for negotiation.
He quickly replied to a message: "Fifty thousand is too much. Our mission this time is not a large-scale smuggling operation. We just need a quiet passage. How about thirty thousand?"
The message was sent on the communicator, and Aidan waited for the other party's response, feeling a bit nervous. The Krong organization is known for its mystery and unpredictability. They might accept negotiations, or they might refuse completely, or even cancel the entire transaction.
After a few minutes, the seemingly endless wait finally received a response. A new message popped up on the communicator, "Forty-five thousand, this is our bottom line. The risk of entering Ozz City is much greater than you imagine."
Aidan took a deep breath, knowing that this was the best price the Krong organization could offer. Forty-five thousand interstellar currency bars, although still higher than their expectations, seemed necessary considering the safety factors and the upcoming mission.
"Alright, deal." Aidan replied, tapping his fingers lightly on the communicator, feeling somewhat reluctant. He turned to look at Violet and Saul, whose expressions revealed similar emotions: it was a significant expense, but they were willing to pay the price for the secret of the "Forgotten City."
When the Kronos organization sent a message saying "pleasant cooperation," Aidan and Violet both breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that the next steps would be the real challenge. The disguised voice command came through the communicator once again, reminding them of the crucial next steps: passing through the atmosphere of the Obidus star and setting up the necessary cloaking device on the spaceship.
Aidan listened carefully to the instructions and began adjusting the settings of The Wanderer to ensure everything was ready. Violet focused on the various data on the control panel, making sure their ship wouldn't be detected by the planet's surveillance systems when entering the atmosphere.
Suddenly, a faint mechanical sound came from outside the cabin, as if something was approaching their ship. Aidan and Violet glanced at each other, then quickly looked out the window. They saw a previously cloaked ship slowly materializing, its external robotic arms carefully installing a device on The Wanderer's hull.
This device looks very advanced, with its precise structure and smooth appearance reminiscent of high-tech equipment. Aidan speculates that this should be the anti-scanning and anti-radar device mentioned by Krong, which will make The Wanderer appear like a ghost in the atmosphere of Obidus, making it difficult to detect.
Violet carefully observes the installation process, her eyes shining with curiosity about these mysterious devices. She knows that these devices are crucial to their mission, and any mistake could lead to the failure of the entire operation.
Aidan then began to recalibrate the spaceship's navigation system, while keeping a close eye on the changing external environment. He knew full well that they were at a delicate balance point, and every move had to be cautious and precise.
