A World Worth Protecting Chapter 392 – Don't Be Too Serious!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
To Wang Baole, the feeling was like he built a large house for himself, but three other people just came and occupied it with him, taking up one room each.
It wouldn’t have been an issue if it was similar to the act of living in his house, but what they were trying to do was erase his name as the owner of the room from the deed, and then replace it with their own name.
This is robbery! D*rn it, how dare you snatch my things away? When Wang Baole thought of the word ‘robbery’, he was reminded of Li Wan’er and Chen Mu’s engagement. With the thought that Li Wan’er would soon become Chen Mu’s Dao partner, the anger he had towards it, which had once appeared but waned, reappeared again.
At the same time, in the skies between the Martian Colony City and Divine Armament New City, tens of specially built large cruisers were traveling at an astonishing speed.
The cruisers carried the first batch of manpower and resources, which were in staggering quantities. In the cockpit of the first cruiser, three people sat there, sipping on wine and conversing with each other. One of them was dressed in formal attire and had fair skin. At the same time, he had a profound look in his eyes. Besides looking extremely handsome, he gave off an extraordinary vibe.
“Junior Brother Wen and Junior Sister Fang, as long as we go according to our agreement and carry out our duties in Divine Armament New City, there would be no issues.” The youth held the wine cup and took a sip of the wine. He smiled, appearing extremely intelligent and persuasive, and that made the two people sitting opposite him nod their heads slightly.
Of the two, one was Wen Huai, who was now wearing a long robe of traditional design. From his wide sleeves, it could be seen that a large number of black bandages were covering his arm, and that was the same case for his neck and half of his face. This unique style made him look extremely vicious.
The other person was a woman named Fang Jing. There were obvious signs that she was from the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect. Even though the name ‘Plume Manifestation Connate Sect’ sounded elegant, in reality, all their disciples strove for physical strength, regardless of whether they were male or female. All of them had exaggeratedly large muscles, and Fang Jing was no exception.
She was born with beautiful looks. However, no matter how beautiful she was, when paired with a muscular physique, anyone who saw her would gasp.

Right now, Fang Jing was like a metal tower, sitting there, giving off a strong suppressive force that made even Wen Huai fearful. However, it had no effect on the youth in formal attire.
That youth was Chen Mu, the Chen Family’s eldest son. Right now, the three of them were on the way to Divine Armament New City. According to the scheduled time, they would arrive in an hour.
“Senior Brother Chen, don’t belittle Wang Baole. I had some interactions with him previously… not only is he a vicious person, but he is also extremely shameless and sly. It’s as if there are no limits to the things he can do or how he can act. Disgusting!” After a period of silence, Wen Huai spoke softly, revealing all his thoughts about Wang Baole.
“Li Yi and I are best friends. According to her, Wang Baole is scum with all the body fat he carries. At the same time, he is extremely lecherous. If he dares to have any perverted thoughts towards me this time, I will let him know that not everyone will be bullied by him!” Fang Jing snorted. She was filled with hatred towards Wang Baole, especially when she already had a bad impression of him through what she heard from Li Yi’s stories.
A look of bewilderment flashed across Wen Huai’s eyes, but he didn’t say much. Chen Mu, on the other hand, remained elegant throughout the process. One couldn’t guess what he was really thinking, and right now, he was nodding his head while smiling.
“Wang Baole is indeed a scum of the Federation. It is necessary to eliminate him as soon as possible, but Junior Brother Wen is right. The fact that he could make it until now means that he has some capabilities. His tactics may be vicious, but we should never let our guard down. However, the fact that the three factions of ours have already reached a consensus, allowing us to regard each other as brothers and sisters, shows just where the issue lies.
“Therefore, as long as the three of us don’t fall out with each other and remain united, Wang Baole will eventually be our stepping stone.”
As Wen Huai and Fang Jing listened, they seemed to have thought of something. They smiled, holding up their wine glasses and toasting Chen Mu.
Chen Mu laughed heartily. He looked calm on the surface, but he was secretly delighted. This time, not only did his family clan manage to arrange for the position of mayor for him, but they also achieved the right to be autonomous. At the same time, in this new city, he already had people standing on the same side as him. His fiancé Li Wan’er was already the Deputy City Lord.

In reality, Chen Mu was dissatisfied towards this fiancé of his. To him, although there were many women superior to him, enough that he felt shameful, there were also innumerable women who would willingly strip naked and leap at him with a snap of his fingers.
After all, he was different from Jin Duoming. Jin Duoming liked to collect, while Chen Mu preferred brief enjoyment. Therefore, he was somewhat against his fiancé.
When he arrived, his family clan had told him that according to the agreement with the Head Senator, Li Wan’er’s role was to pave the way for his success in Divine Armament New City.
Therefore, on the basis of having a path to success, he unwillingly agreed to the marriage arrangement. However, these were all thoughts that he kept in his heart, thoughts that he didn’t dare reveal in front of the senator.
Fine then. I have met this Li Wan’er previously. She looks quite beautiful, and her figure is hot. Even though I don’t know how she will look naked, she should be relatively good in bed. With that thought, Chen Mu was suddenly excited. However, Li Wan’er had long made it clear that before their marriage, there would be no physical contact. Despite that, Chen Mu was confident that, as a woman, what she said wasn’t what she meant.
Having thought of Li Wan’er, hatred and dislike towards Wang Baole arose uncontrollably in Chen Mu’s heart. It was even transformed into a form that would make him choose to kill if he had the choice…
He belittled Wang Baole, because, according to his judgment, Wang Baole was merely lucky. That luck of his was baseless and inconsistent.
To Chen Mu, the persistence of wanting to expand the city zone into a city when Wang Baole was already holding a stable position as mayor was a stupid move, despite it allowing him to be promoted. Wang Baole was rash, but Chen Mu still had to thank him for his stupidity. If not, his family clan wouldn’t have the opportunity to interfere in the New Mars Region again when everything seemed to have already been set in stone.
There was another reason. He had heard about the incident between Wang Baole and his fiancé, Li Wan’er, through the private conversations of the Zhuo family. That shocked him extremely badly. He tried going to the Zhuo family several times to demand the video footage, curious about finding out exactly what was going on.
However, the Zhuo Family didn’t dare to hand it to him. All they said was that it had already been destroyed.
However, Chen Mu didn’t want to let the matter rest. Therefore, he found Zhuo Yixian, but Zhuo Yixian was already frozen in fear with regret and didn’t dare involve himself further. However, the strong hatred he had towards Wang Baole overruled everything, and with a pitiful look, he patted Chen Mu’s shoulder and told him…
“Brother, don’t be too serious about this matter. Just treat it as if nothing happened. If not, if you were to really see the footage, you might… Forget it, that’s all I’ll say. You’ll understand what I mean.”
It wouldn’t have mattered much if he didn’t say such things. However, hearing those words, Chen Mu grew even more bitter. However, he could only hide it deep in his heart, without revealing a hint of it in his interactions with Wen Huai and Fang Jing along the journey. In truth, his heart was filled with hatred towards Wang Baole. Just like that, the cruiser they were in traveled at high speed for another hour, before eventually reaching Divine Armament New City.
Obviously, Wang Baole didn’t receive them, and Li Wan’er went in his place instead. After the trio arrived in Divine Armament New City, they paid a visit to Kong Dao and Jin Duoming. They already had an understanding of the people in charge of internal affairs. They chose to ignore Lin Tianhao, and after that, they headed towards their respective zones and began building.
However, even though Wen Huai and Fang Jing were courteous when interacting with Li Wan’er, Chen Mu treated her as if he was her owner. He may not have ordered her around, but his attitude made Li Wan’er very unhappy.
From start to end, they didn’t mention Wang Baole. They didn’t visit him, treating him as if he didn’t exist, and acted as if their new region was unrelated to the new city. When others noticed this, they began to have speculations. Li Wan’er wanted to give them a gentle reminder that this resistance was inappropriate, but when she noticed Chen Mu’s attitude, she was annoyed and decided not to remind them.
As for Wang Baole, even though he didn’t appear, due to the detailed information from Liu Daobin and the Ethereal Dao College students—as well as what he noticed about the actions of the trio after they arrived—a look of irritation flashed across his eyes while he sat in the office. He caressed the donkey that seemed to have returned tired after play.
So obnoxious, huh?

Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets. Can she steal the greatest prize of all, the knowledge to reshape the earth, and make it out alive? Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
