Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 571 - 557 Capturing Hydra on a Father-Daughter Camping Trip

Bai Zhongqi accompanied Lan Xue to the Hunting Planet, actually to help ease her mood. Lan Xue was searching for the Golden Great Sail Ship, one of her main goals being to find her own father. But she felt like she had found nothing, quite discouraged, she wanted to drag Bai Zhongqi to the Hunting Planet for a look, and also to catch the creature she wanted as a pet.

Sitting in the small hovering hunting vehicle driven by Lan Xue, Bai Zhongqi was a bit lost in thought. Before coming here, Zero had already delivered the results of the DNA test; Lan Xue indeed carried his genes and was his direct descendant. This had made Zero roll her eyes incessantly, for she had been with Bai Zhongqi from the very beginning and knew that it was impossible for Bai Zhongqi to have had any romantic entanglements, making it obvious who this young girl's mother was.

Bai Zhongqi was also surprised and at a loss, having left home for eighteen years, and suddenly having a daughter appear.

He even secretly and irresponsibly criticized himself, wondering why his genes, which were considered handsome after liberation, combined with the child's mother, who was as beautiful as a flower, did not produce a daughter with the aura of a peerless beauty.

He didn't know how to break the news to Lan Xue, but he planned to let his daughter lead him to Han Jiaxue first, then play out the melodramatic family drama of recognition.

Now, it was time for a daddy, who didn't feel much older than his daughter, to have fun with her.

"Oh, the Hunting Planet really is terrible. To create a competitive atmosphere, hunters are required to use the tools provided within the park, and also, many hunting weapons and tools are hidden throughout the park, requiring us to discover them ourselves. Humph, but uncle, you have subspace equipment, and in minutes you could outplay them," Lan Xue laughed like a little fox that had sneaked a chicken.

Bai Zhongqi smiled and said, "They don't consider the possibility of someone bringing subspace equipment into the park because those who have it are usually dignitaries of civilization, and even more so, important figures. It's beneath them to use subspace equipment to cheat just to capture a few animals."

Lan Xue pretended to be surprised and said, "Eh? Uncle, are you trying to throw your weight around, suggesting you're an important figure?"

Bai Zhongqi shrugged his shoulders and said, "What I think about myself is not important, it depends on the objective facts."

Lan Xue, of course, knew just how amazing this uncle she had latched onto was. He was not merely an invincible Star Warrior, likely even a High Level Star Warrior, and he had his own forces, hidden exceptionally well, so much so that Lan Xue had no idea where he might be. And now he had obtained the Golden Great Sail Ship, which Lan Xue believed should be hers, but Uncle had hidden it somewhere unknown.

The two of them had come to the Hunting Planet on an unremarkable small private spaceship, which made Lan Xue drool just looking at it. Uncle indeed had style, having sunk one ship without as much as blinking during the ship raid and now casually bringing out another ship, conveniently parked at the Hunting Planet's spaceport.

Lan Xue even asked what would happen if they couldn't pay the docking fee, and Bai Zhongqi told her in a carefree manner that they would just leave it behind.

For this mysterious uncle, it seemed a spaceship was not even as valuable as a bicycle to him; he'd throw it away without a second thought, no hesitation whatsoever.

The hunting planet's park management provided very basic equipment: one worn-out chemical energy hunting rifle per person, a chemical energy pistol, two basic units of ammunition, plus three animal traps. The last freebies were a commemorative hat and a water bottle featuring the Hunting Planet's logo. Beyond that, there was nothing else. Even food had to be bought at the park's supermarket at exorbitant prices, although many people didn't bother; they planned to directly hunt the creatures in the park and then eat them.

The car that Lan Xue drove was also rented, and the rental fee was quite expensive. In addition, with the mindset of buying souvenirs, Bai Zhongqi purchased a Hunter's all-purpose bag, which included knives, small medical supplies, water purifiers, flashlights, fire-starting devices, and other trinkets. Of course, Bai Zhongqi could have provided these items himself, but buying souvenirs felt different from using his own belongings.

Bai Zhongqi came with the intent of having a father-daughter bonding event, while Lan Xue felt the pinch of spending; after all, her little piggy bank was now completely empty. If Bai Zhongqi hadn't promised her a spaceship, Lan Xue would have long jumped up and scratched her dad's face.

"Sigh, come to think of it, I'm really not much different from those wealthy dads back on Earth," Bai Zhongqi thought to himself. "The wealthy dads give their children Porsches and Ferraris, and I'm giving my daughter a spaceship. It's pretty much the same thing."

At this point, spaceships were something he truly had in abundance. The Insect Nest's former size, accumulated over ten years in the Virtual Universe, was what Bai Zhongqi was relying on to crush the Star Alliance. He had also subdued a number of planets like Star Creation, previously collected by celestial body collectors, turning these planets into his own vassals, and they began to contribute industrial goods to him, naturally including spaceships.

Frankly speaking, the Swarm could accumulate military power at a rate comparable to the Star Alliance. Since the Star Alliance had a head start, they had greater industrial power. But Bai Zhongqi, being a cheeky bastard, gave himself a cheat of multiplying time flow by ten. Coupled with the Golden Great Sail Ship's abundant resources, his power was now growing much faster than Star Alliance's.

"By the way, Lan Xue, you haven't told me yet. You said you came to Hunting Planet to catch a pet you'd like, but what exactly is it that you want to catch?" Bai Zhongqi was now in a state akin to camping with his daughter, feeling very relaxed.

He was aware that he carried the burden of revenge, but he wouldn't let revenge darken his entire life. He felt guilty towards Lan Xue, the teenage girl who grew up without a father's love, and although he had no knowledge of her birth, he still felt remorseful.

When Lan Xue heard her uncle's question, she started to stammer a bit, "That... uh, it's nothing particularly remarkable."

"It must have a name, though."

"Yes, it's said to be called the Hydra..."

Bai Zhongqi nearly spouted a mouthful of blood. When he entered the park, he had eagerly looked through the brochure; the so-called Hydra was possibly the same creature as the Hydra in Earth's mythology with the heads that multiply when one is cut off. China's ancient myths also had similar creatures like the Xiangliu.

That aside, the key issue was that the Hydra ranked second among the Hunting Planet's top ten most dangerous species and had even caused serious incidents, having eaten tourists. The unscrupulous park had no intention of taking responsibility for the tourists' lives, instead continuously hyping up the Hydra and the other top ten vicious creatures to attract the morbid curiosity of those thrill-seeking and reckless visitors.

On the other hand, the Hydra, which could both burrow and swim, was especially hard to hunt, and the park itself didn't really have a good way of finding and killing the creature.
