"Why do you call me a smuggler?"

At this moment, Han Zhan still had the mood to chat with the other party.

He was intentionally caught by Punk.

Because there’s no more direct way to get the fastest access to information about this planet.

As it turns out, Han Zhan’s judgment was correct.

Tukalu gave Han Zhan a somewhat surprised look.

This fresh-faced young man, looking delicate and smooth-skinned, was even calmer than he had imagined.

However, it was useless.

"Because you ’refreshed’ in the largest Uda Desert of Yongsha Star."

"Because the main transport channels of Yongsha Star have been controlled by the Alliance Army."

"Because in recent months, there have been far too many people like you trying to come to Yongsha Star to get a piece of the pie. And greed and ignorance will ultimately keep you here forever!"

As Tukalu finished speaking, he pointed to the side.

There, what was originally a sand mound collapsed, revealing each squared-off cage inside.

Each cage held people like Han Zhan, with hands restrained by shackles, or non-human species.

They were all smugglers.

From Tukalu’s few words, Han Zhan filtered out a lot of useful information.

First, this planet is called Yongsha Star, not Topstros.

He could understand what the other party was saying, and the other party could understand what he was saying; there was no communication barrier.

Could it be that in the language of the gods, Topstros means Yongsha Star?

Moreover, Yongsha Star is not peaceful, especially in recent months.

The Alliance Army on Yongsha Star controls the transport channels, yet many smugglers are still finding alternate routes into Yongsha Star to get a slice of the pie. What is this slice of the pie? Is it Yongsha Star’s treasure?

"Is the Alliance Army a legitimate force on Yongsha Star? And which force do you represent?"

"How did you find me?"

Han Zhan asked two more questions.

This time, Tukalu didn’t smirk; he glanced at Han Zhan with an indifferent look.

"Given that you look quite appealing and are worth five hundred Sand Coins, I’ll answer those two questions for you."

"The Alliance Army is the main force on Yongsha Star, also the largest. It was formed by merging a dozen original alliances on Yongsha Star."

"Originally, there were no less than twenty forces of varying sizes on Yongsha Star. But a person calling themselves ’Mass’ appeared out of nowhere and conquered and controlled a dozen forces with an iron hand, forming an alliance controlled by him."

"That’s the origin of the Alliance Army."

"As for me, hmpf. I don’t belong to any force; I’m used to being free and easy, specializing in the human trafficking business. As for how we found you, it’s because of this."

As Tukalu spoke, he took out a palm-sized screen, which scanned comprehensively like a radar.

"It’s a spatial fluctuation detector. Any spatial fluctuations within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius can’t escape its detection."

"It’s also developed by the Alliance Army, secretly sold on the black market," Tukalu added.

This last sentence was rather intriguing.

"What about the Interstellar Hyenas? What are they, do they belong to the Alliance Army’s forces?"

"They’re not humans; they’re a bunch of crazy hyenas." Tukalu sneered, "Believe me, falling into my hands is a thousand times luckier than falling into theirs."

"They belong to the Yongsha Brotherhood and are an enemy force of the Alliance Army."

"Enough!" Tukalu interrupted Han Zhan, who was eager to ask more questions, like a curious child. "My patience is limited; you’d better not test my limits."

"Get in yourself; in a day, I’ll have found a buyer for you."

"Believe me, it will definitely be a ravenous lady. Serve her well, and you’ll live better than I do."

With that, Tukalu locked Han Zhan into a cell.

As the sand continued to fall, the scene before him was gradually engulfed by the grains until it completely descended into darkness.

In the darkness, there was a slight panting sound nearby.

It should be the "inmate" locked in the same cage with him.

"Friend, where are you from?" Han Zhan couldn’t see the other’s position, but he turned his head towards the direction of the breathing and asked.

"Get lost, filthy and ugly human species! Angkasaru Star People will never be slaves!"

A bloated silhouette wriggled slightly in the darkness.

Judging from the tone, he didn’t sound particularly friendly.

"Don’t mind him; Angkasaru Star People are a bunch of brainless idiots." Another voice sounded in the darkness.

The voice was somewhat sharp, causing a slight tingling in Han Zhan’s eardrum.

"Friend, since you’re human, you should have used the Alliance Army’s channels to enter Yongsha Star. Why travel through space like us?"

The other’s words seemed to have a special magic power, urging a candid confession.

If Han Zhan’s mind weren’t strong enough, he might have just spilled everything he was thinking.

Han Zhan felt a chill inside. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Even with the Energy Suppressor on, sealing his abilities, the other party could still employ such means. Indeed, this is not Blue Star; too many unknown species exist here.

With this in mind, he let out a cold chuckle, trying hard to make his tone sound greedy.

"Of course, to gain more. If there’s something good, how could it be shared equally by everyone?"

This answer was based on what Tukalu had mentioned previously.

In recent months, quite a few smugglers entered Yongsha Star; they must all be after the same thing.

Sure enough, Han Zhan’s response did not arouse the other party’s suspicion.

Instead, the Angkasaru Star Person, who had been full of malice, snorted coldly again.

"Humans are always so greedy."

"Shut up already." The sharp voice interrupted, then calmed down to speak to Han Zhan, "I think we can cooperate."

"You’re human and valued at five hundred Sand Coins. I have a special potion here that enhances desire. Once you’ve completely won over the rich lady’s affections, I hope you can buy me."

"Only twenty Sand Coins," he added quickly, afraid that Han Zhan would refuse.

Twenty Sand Coins and five hundred Sand Coins, it seems human beings are pretty popular on Yongsha Star?

Thinking this, Han Zhan voiced his thoughts.

"Why not escape from here?"

"Oh! You must be insane; you want to escape from this Sand Prison? Don’t imagine it; even the Angkasaru Star People’s bodies, known for their brute force and stupidity, can’t break through its defenses!"

"Moreover, you still have an Energy Suppressor on your hands, you—"

His incessant chatter was abruptly cut off.

Bang.

A dull sound, short and crisp, rang in his ears.

The dim Sand Prison before him was pierced, leaving a fist-sized hole.

Light shone through the opening.
