Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Three years later, inside the Mars base.

After picking up the communication device in his hand and reporting his safety to Delia, Rollin immediately turned off the communication device.

“It’s been three years! I’ve upgraded from the meteorite level all the way to the satellite level, but I still haven’t been able to obtain the ability to use this locator!”

As early as three years ago, an old butler from the Stoke family had left him a letter and a package. From the letter, he obtained information regarding the usage conditions of this ‘cubic universe locator’.

However, Rollin felt that all of this was too long ago. For a person to grow from a meteorite level to star level, it would take usually take several decades.

Even if it was someone with slightly better talent, it would still take 30 years, not to mention Rollin who only had average talent!

After the last time he parted with Delia, Rollin had not seen her for three years!

Although the two of them had contacted each other countless times through their communication devices, their feelings could not be transmitted through this device.

On the other side, Delia took a look at the three years of communication records and turned off the communication device in her hand. She sighed softly as she tore a matchmaking photo in her hand into pieces.

‘It’s already been three years. Rollin, are you doing well on Mars?’

‘I have many things to tell you, but every time I see your face and that declining expression of yours, I can’t bring myself to talk about the matter of my family forcing me to go on a blind date.’

‘Since I can’t wait for you, then I’ll become a Star Beast Hunter as well! I hope that this will me closer to you!’

After thinking about this, Delia extinguished the remaining cigarette in her hand. She proceeded to blacklist all the family members’ numbers.

After returning to the rented house, she changed into a set of battle clothes that she had prepared long ago and went to the Star Beast Hunter Guild in the city.

The city that Delia was in was a very remote suburb. She walked in and saw that the person at the bar counter was an elderly old man.

Hearing the movement outside the door, he raised his head and glanced at Delia. In her eyes, the old man had some tenacity that ordinary people did not usually have.

“Little friend, do you want to register for the Star Beast Hunter license?”

‘Little friend?’ Hearing this, Delia felt extremely uncomfortable. After all, she was already 24 years old this year and was still at the satellite level.

However, after taking another look at the old man, Delia felt that it was not wrong for the old man to address her as such. This was because the person in front of her was already over 90 years old.

In the countries of the Solar System, the average age of humans had already reached around 150 years old. After comparing her own age with this, Delia politely nodded towards the old man and replied, “I’m sorry to trouble you!”

“Please help me register for my Star Beast Hunter license!”

Hearing this, the old man opened his narrowed eyes, emitting a sharp gaze as he glanced at Delia.

“Your willpower is firm enough, and your strength is sufficient. However, you still lack something other than willpower and strength! Can I take the liberty to ask you a question?”

After all, the other party was an elder, so Delia could not refute him. She nodded and agreed to his request.

“Why do you want to become a Star Beast Hunter?”

Delia raised her head and thought about it again. Her goal this time was only to be together with Rollin!

She did not really care about the position of Star Beast Hunter at all. However, if she became a Star Beast Hunter, she could leave Earth and enter Mars. Therefore, this was her only choice.

Then, how should she answer this old man in front of her?

Looking at Delia’s sparkling eyes, the old man sighed. 

“Since ancient times, feelings have always prevailed. People who invest too much in their feelings will only leave with regrets. These regrets will last for a very long time. They will always be plagued by them, and there will be no end to them.”

“It’s for a man, am I right? It’s a man that’s bothering you.”

After hearing these words, Delia widened her eyes. Then, she took out a small mirror from her pocket and looked at her face.

She realized that she did not reveal much of an expression. After all, she had already perfected the poker face when she was in the academy!

The old man saw this scene and smiled, waving his hand. “There’s no need to look!”

“I saw your heart through your eyes! It has nothing to do with your expression!”

“You are a silly girl. There are so many good men in this world, but you chose the one that is the hardest to get!”

“However, I don’t intend to stop you! Since we’re fated to meet, I can still help you!”

After saying this, the world began to spin, and everything around the reception area of the Star Beast Guild began to distort.

“With this knowledge, you will be able to follow the person you love for the rest of your life!”

After saying this, the world once again returned to peace. A Star Beast Hunter’s license was already placed on the table.

However, Delia realized that she suddenly had new knowledge that she was not familiar with. When she raised her head to look at the seat in front of her, she discovered that the Star Beast Guild had long since become dilapidated.

Her surroundings were covered in dust. Anyone who looked at this place would have said that it had already been idle for over ten years. Everything that had happened just now seemed like a dream.

The only thing that made her clear-headed was the Star Beast Hunter’s license in her hands, as well as the strange new knowledge in her mind.

Delia shook her head, turned around, and walked out of the door. Under everyone outside’s astonished gazes, she left the shabby old Star Beast Guild.

In one of the underground ruins on Mars, Rollin was digging hard against the wall.

It had been three years! It had taken him more than a year to search for the other three corpses of the giant beasts. As for the corpse of the rarest giant beast, it had taken Rollin more than a year.

“The last piece is finally in my hands! I can finally go back and meet Delia!”

After obtaining the corpse of this giant beast, Rollin would be able to advance to the star traveller level. He would no longer be a ‘nobody’.

To be able to reach the star traveller level at the age of 24, he could be considered a once-in-a-thousand-years genius in the Solar System.

In the past three years, Rollin missed Delia very much, but he was just too ordinary! He had o background, no career, no strength, nothing!

Although Delia did not care about these things, as a man, Rollin naturally could not compromise like others.

In these three years of separation, Rollin reported to Delia every day that he was safe, but he did not communicate with her for more than ten minutes. The longer they stayed in contact, the more sorry Rollin felt for himself.

Today, they had finally reached the final stage. Rollin’s tired hands became lighter under his longing to see Delia.

About an hour later, the hoe finally collided with a hard object. Sparks flew in the darkness as his hoe collided with a hard object.

He stopped what he was doing and moved the light behind him. The light caused a shadow to be cast on the wall. He saw the corpse of the giant beast embedded in the wall.

“I’ve finally dug it up!”
