Chapter 1355: 444. Headquarters Reception
On the outskirts of the Mach’s Trusted Star System, the tranquil starry sky was as profound as ever, as if the eternal river of time embraced all things.
“If it were just the three of us, I definitely wouldn’t have come to this ghost place called Mach’s Trusted,” one of them said.
Inside the Sun Knight Battleship Cruiser, Strawberry Juice sat in the pilot’s seat, lingering on the outskirts of the Mach’s Trusted Star System.
Behind her, her two companions were keenly monitoring the ship’s radar and firing system control interface, always keeping an eye on the display for any anomalies.
Hearing Strawberry Juice’s complaint, the other two players chimed in.
“Strawberry Juice is right. Luckily, other players are involved in this task,” said the female player known as “Cat Litter Flavored Cat Stick.”
Another player named “Cat Stick Flavored Cat Litter” remarked:

These were the rides equipped for Advanced Pilots by the Metal Creation Group, known as the Sliding Gear Battleship Cruisers.
Strawberry Juice recognized the origin of these ships at a glance and whispered to her companion:
“It looks like the NPC helpers are players who specialize in Metal Creation Group faction tasks. Only those specialized in enhancing the prestige of the Metal Creation Group would pilot a Sliding Gear Battleship Cruiser.”
No sooner had Strawberry Juice spoken than one of the Sliding Gear Battleground Cruisers sent a communication signal to her ship.
Strawberry Juice pressed the response button on the screen to open communications.
The communication screen showed the scene aboard the other ship, with the captain, a player dressed in the Metal Creation Group Advanced Pilot Uniform, leading the conversation.
This person glanced at the interior of Strawberry Juice’s ship cabin, saw the three female players participating in the task, and said with a polite smile:
