Chapter 2949 - 10: Pretending to Be an Elder

He is selecting his avatars.

There are many avatars, in various sizes. The previous Giant Dog Avatar was the largest, followed by other relatively smaller ones.

"The Giant Dog Avatar should be the strongest among all the avatars I’ve brought, but its appearance isn’t particularly impressive. Among the other avatars, excessively large ones aren’t good, and excessively small ones aren’t impressive either. Their strength is hard to gauge because the Giant Dog is the strongest; the others aren’t as strong. But if I want that effect, I can’t use weak ones."

Jia Yan somewhat regrets having used the Giant Dog Avatar before.

However, the Giant Dog Avatar is not ideal — it looks too young.

The person who wants to establish a sect should appear honorable and respected, not young and impulsive.

This time, he carefully picked and finally selected a turtle-like avatar.

The Turtle Avatar was custom-made by Jia Yan for amusement, with two small tufts of beard on its face, resembling an old man.

Buzz.

Jia Yan attached his brainwave power and consciousness to this turtle creature.

"This Turtle Creature is approximately two hundred meters in size, slightly smaller than a Semi-permanent Star Level strong one, but not much smaller. Plus, it has the appearance of being old and wise. With this, it’s simple to deceive the initial audience, and later I can transition over to myself."

Jia Yan thought for a long time and finally understood how to proceed.

The population in this sparsely-populated Northwest Region might be considered sparse, but compared to the outside Starry Sky, the population density here is still astonishing.

At least Jia Yan couldn’t see any notion of sparsely populated areas, given that even many asteroids have inhabitants.

His initial target was precisely these asteroids.

"This year’s harvest is poor. Sigh, it feels like we’re about to have no income."

On an asteroid, a Sky Level creature, resembling a simple-minded farmer, looked at the crops in the fields with a bitter smile.

Don’t be surprised, there’s still a huge demand for crops in the Starry Sky. Even strong ones like Jia Yan, who can long transcend the realm of food, often seek out various crops to enhance their appetite.

As for weaker creatures, they rely even more on crops, especially the crops in the Starry Sky, always specially modified. Many contain significant energy and have effects on assisting cultivation, so buyers are numerous. In many areas, these Starry Sky crops are still considered traditional delicacies of the entire Starfield.

Therefore, the abundance of farmers on these asteroids in the Starry Sky is unsurprising.

But today, the farmers on this asteroid are somewhat depressed.

Because a few days ago, there was a problem with the stellar energy collection devices, impacting everyone to varying degrees.

Stellar energy collectors are excellent devices in the Starry Sky for collecting distant sunlight power.

This place isn’t a bustling area, so no star is close by. If the farmers wish to utilize stellar power, they must exercise their ingenuity, and stellar energy collectors are the result of their wisdom.

The so-called stellar energy collectors are numerous intelligent-controlled energy collectors floating in space, roughly akin to solar panels, collecting energy and transmitting it back to the asteroid for everyone’s benefit.

Lately, due to issues with the energy collectors, the harvest on this asteroid has been reduced.

As a result, everyone is extremely frustrated.

"The main issue was those interstellar merchants who were extremely arrogant, passing over our asteroid without stopping, damaging half of our collectors. Now, the yield is poor, and we don’t know if we can sue them."

"Sue them, sue them indeed. Damn it, our income has decreased, and we don’t know if we’ll survive in the future. How can we not sue such a powerful force?"

"Uh... in matters like this, I think we won’t succeed. Besides, those Commerce Associations aren’t even in our Starfield. They passed by, and we don’t know when they’ll return, so even if we sue them, we need to find them first."

"Exactly, I think we should forget about it. Sigh, if we can’t get through this year, I’ll go find relatives in the neighboring Starry Sky. His harvest should be stable; it’s likely he’d help our family."

"No way, I’m going to work in the big city. I’ve had enough of this little place."

"If you’re fed up, go early. Hey, in this Starry Sky, only we farmers won’t have conflicts. You think going to the big city without strength or knowledge, with little work ability, you’ll come back just as embarrassed or even die outside."

A group of farmers sighed and argued in frustration.

Though they possess Sky Level or Earth Level strengths, it’s too weak for the Starry Sky.

All these farmers have been farming on this asteroid for generations. A sudden merchant fleet came last time, requested not to pass this way, yet insisted on doing so, damaging half of their stellar energy collectors, almost leaving them unable to survive.

"Actually, I think there’s a way to help us."
