Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!

But this All-Knowing Sect is just a thing with a facade; what’s inside is hard to discern.

It’s speculated that several syndicates are involved.

This sort of syndicate-style religion has too many big figures inside, with extensive interest chains. To protect their interests, they can kill.

Officer Porlin, due to his frequent in-depth investigations recently, had a team member encounter an accident and is currently recuperating in the hospital.

Su Xiaocai’s offensive did not bring retaliation from the higher-ups of the All-Knowing Sect; instead, oddly enough,

Porlin felt they were like mice seeing a cat; as Su Xiaocai advanced, they began to retreat.

However, as a religious organization, it’s hard to completely withdraw and keep to oneself.

Porlin might find it hard to understand the ideas of the religious leadership while being in the middle.

Actually, there’s no need to think deeply; it’s a very simple truth.

Given Su Xiaocai’s level of combat strength, currently in the mercenary market and assassin organizations, no one dares to accept assassination missions; it’s not just about counterattacks.

Su Xiaocai is too clever; if you kill her once, she might end up wiping out your entire family. Regardless of how long it takes, she will play you to death.

An immeasurable opponent, making a tactical retreat to avoid conflict is the smartest move.

When Su Xiaocai bought that villa area, all the agents from the Law Enforcement Department reported that recent religious activities were completely canceled, and these agents were just members on the outside of the religion.

With outside activities canceled, you can imagine the internal situation; activities will be even less frequent.

Porlin really wanted to ask Su Xiaocai what to do; if their actions didn’t conflict, he would just go for it, as he had already given up.

If religious activities moved elsewhere, all his efforts so far might have been in vain.

The timing wasn’t right; Su Xiaocai wouldn’t act unless it was.

She bought the land, but some properties were not her real estate yet; she had to recover the real estate from others.

So she transferred some employees from Extraordinary Island to handle this matter.

Ji Heng’s property could be left alone; if only he can have an exit and entry point, that would suffice.

To avoid unnecessary spending, employees first bought all the properties listed online for sale.

Next were those unavailable online.

The compensation issue for unfinished buildings has always been a major problem. The owners who could buy them are either wealthy or influential.

They really wanted to give Su Xiaocai face but thought she might move in later, so at first, they were unwilling to let go.

Su Xiaocai understood the reason and told the running employees to inform them, "I won’t move in, and it won’t be used for real estate development. If they firmly refuse to let go, it will inevitably depreciate, and I don’t necessarily have to acquire it. I’ll only ask one more time; if they don’t let go, I won’t want it either."

After all, nobody lived inside, and there weren’t even homeless people; what could be done with it? It couldn’t generate value; it should be redeveloped, so why hold on?

Some owners inquired if they could know why Su Xiaocai bought it.

The runner only said one sentence, "Because the believers there upset President Su."

As for the handling method, no one knew.

Retaliation must be carried out, but how to use legal means to retaliate is what’s interesting.

Once the owners knew the real reason, they very swiftly sold off the abandoned real estate at market price. They were curious to see how Su Xiaocai would deal with these ordinary citizens (disguised believers) who even the law enforcement departments found troublesome.

This employee was busy for about a week before he managed to transfer the properties from various big-name owners.

This expenditure made the employee feel sorry for Su Xiaocai.

Su Xiaocai didn’t consider such expenses a big deal; anything solvable with money isn’t a problem.

Of course, there were also those who didn’t believe it.

One of the families was like this; they were unaware of the situation in the community and accused Su Xiaocai of deception, saying she wouldn’t be able to buy it without a high price.

Su Xiaocai simply gave up on it; after all, it was just a small piece of land, and she wasn’t planning to build houses; the government wouldn’t allow tall buildings anyway.

A piece of land soaked in blood, too ominous.

Excluding Ji Heng’s villa.

There were only two remaining properties unrecovered.

One inflated the price, betting that Su Xiaocai urgently needed it and would raise the land’s price again.

The other belonged to President Hu’s brother, Hu Tiankun, who refused to sell, insisting that it wasn’t about the price.

Someone who was close to bankruptcy, usually shamelessly borrowing money from President Hu, didn’t sell even when short on cash, making Su Xiaocai suspect something was fishy.

She passed the information to Porlin, "I’m handing you even the opportunity for merit; don’t let me down."

On this day, Porlin and his team, after receiving the information, admired Su Xiaocai tremendously, never having seen such a bold and thorough investigation method.

The one inflating prices wasn’t on Capital Star; he was a businessman who started by speculating on real estate, now living in a different star system, and hadn’t returned to Capital Star in three years.

Then there was Hu Ning’s elder brother, Hu Tiankun. Just looking at the name, one could see the favoritism of the elders.

Spoiled since childhood, couldn’t endure hardship, so the family business quickly declined.

With some family background, he knew many people in the rich circles, and after eliminating all other possibilities, there was no one else suspicious but him.

Porlin quickly led his subordinates to keep a close watch on Hu Tiankun to see what he had been up to recently.

He requested to trace Hu Tiankun’s recent movements through artificial intelligence. With the prior video forgery incident, he thought of comparing it with real-life activities.

He interviewed the neighbors around Hu Tiankun.

And received news that was almost expected: the movements shown in Hu Tiankun’s video didn’t match reality.

Neighbors all knew that whenever Hu Tiankun went out, he either went gambling or to find Hu Ning.

A few gossipy neighbors said that last week they even jokingly asked Hu Tiankun’s wife, "Where did Hu Tiankun go?"

"His wife said he went to find Hu Ning."

"I’m sure I’m not mistaken. Crystal clear, it was last Sunday, as my son was nagging about going to Extraordinary Island to tell the Vegetable Farmers to fight less sneakily."

As for the video, it also showed him going to Hu Ning’s company.

But the reality was that Hu Tiankun hadn’t looked for Hu Ning at all last week; even the security at the door said they hadn’t seen him.

This situation was similar to the video from the auction where Su Xiaocai was injured after fighting the Insect Man.

Porlin had never seen a Superpower User who could alter videos at will, and none existed in the registered Superpower User records.

The clues pointed in one direction.

All these incidents were done by the same group of people.

Porlin decided to combine the Vice Principal Jun Ya Insect Man case with the All-Knowing Sect murder case, yet they still made little progress. With video forgery and no way to restore the videos, all they could do was stakeout.

I don’t know if Su Xiaocai’s plan to act startled this organization, but even waiting for the Mecha tournament team competition to end, they didn’t catch any suspicious activities from Hu Tiankun.

Su Xiaocai deeply felt that Porlin was somewhat useless, yet since he diligently worked, helping her, she couldn’t tell him he wasn’t fit for the police profession.

After all, Porlin had a strong sense of justice, which is indispensable for a police officer.

...

The team competition ended, and soon the top ten thousand rankings for the individual combat competition were announced.

Afterward, the official time for the finals was announced.

The audience protested that the final was too far away to wait.

The committee and military also listened to the public’s opinion and had to make temporary decisions.

The individual competition would be held on a training planet; after arriving and adapting for a few days, it would be broadcasted live, and they would meet at the pinnacle in reality.

The team competition was postponed.

This decision appeased the public’s emotions.

However, whether all participants would participate in the training planet was unknown.

Extraordinary Island was responsible for distributing ship tickets to the Capital Star to the participants, totaling 103,000 participants, including both team and individual competition members.

Participation depended on personal willingness; once aboard, they couldn’t return until the final day of the finals.

If the contestant doesn’t participate, it won’t be specifically announced online, but their name won’t appear on the finals list.

Participants in this competition, if they don’t have a Mecha, can apply for a Standard Mecha in advance. The military will provide Standard Mechas for the competition, but any modification costs will be borne by the participants themselves.

If they join the military in advance, this portion of the cost can be waived.
