Chapter 168: The Headhunter Race with Ripped Off Facial Skin (Part One)
The star map was one of the important tools for space travel, and following the marks on the star map, the ship could avoid terrible electromagnetic storms and bypass hidden black holes .
Han noticed, the star map used by the Ancient Maple Leaf family was quite different from the Alliance version . It could find the shortest route between points, thus speeding up the travelling progress . It hadn’t been even one day since Han embarked on the transport ship, and they had already entered the Headhunter Star System’s periphery . If the route was calculated in accordance with the Alliance’s version of the star map, then the voyage would take at least two days .
The Ye Family that had been operating long term outside of the Milky Way clearly understood this wild space better than anyone . Han asked Ye Jincheng for the Ye family’s version of the star map, and Ye Jincheng had casually given this precious data to Han because in his eyes, how could Han be considered an outsider .
It was also because of the long-term operation in the extragalactic turf that the Ye family was very familiar with the rules in business, so they were able to quickly established contact with the aliens of the Headhunter Star System with the salesmen identity . Then, they were led by a small convoy and berthed at an airport specifically for greeting visitors .
Due to the extragalactic turf being extremely far away from the Milky Way and also how the Milky Way galaxy rejected alien races, people living here could not directly trade with the Milky Way . However, they still really liked all sorts of luxury goods, delicious ingredients, arts and crafts, and so this travelling business was born .
All travel businessmen would bear enormous risk, travel all the way here to bring aliens their favorite merchandise in exchange for valuable local high-grade minerals, and they were welcomed by the aliens living in the extragalactic turfs outside of the Milky Way .

In fact, the Ancient Maple Leaf was running the largest travelling business in the extragalactic turfs, and the enormous family wealth was accumulated by trafficking goods for generations .
As the growing prosperity of the family, the Ancient Maple Leaf had their own armies and fleets, and under the protection of a powerful force, the Ye Family began extending their reach deeper into the universe . It was reported that some ultra long-range business fleets under the Ancient Maple Leaf would set sail for years of voyage at a time, and some maybe even for a dozen years .
After the cargo ship docked, Han and Ye Jincheng got off the ship, and Ye Jincheng whispered in Han’s ears, “The alien race living here call themselves the Headhunter clan . Their ancestors would chop off their enemies’ heads and hang them in the living room as a merit . That’s where the name came from . ”
“In the turbid star field, the Headhunter Clan is the strongest alien race equipped with the most advanced technology, so we must be very careful at all times when interacting with them . ”
“My men will deal with them first by trading them, and us two will take the opportunity to sneak in and go investigate near the Headhunter clan leader Fran’s house . ”
Han nodded and didn’t say anything .
Very soon, a few Land Speeders rushed to the transport ship, and a group of aliens in battle suits jumped off . They had black skin and huge nostrils, and with a greater lung capacity, the headhunter’s breathing sounds and voices were also a lot louder .
The Land Speeder directly came from the remnants of the prehistoric civilization, and so were the battle suits . The Land Speeders currently produced inside the Milky Way Galaxy could only be counted as the replicated version of the prehistoric civilization’s invention . To some extent, the Headhunter clan’s equipment was more advanced than humans because what they used were all original versions .

Although the Headhunter clan were aliens, they were very smart . They not only learned how to use the advanced machinery left behind by the prehistoric civilization, but even learned how to repair them . It’s just that the accessories and parts still needed to be purchased from the Milky Way Galaxy .
The laser cannon equipped on the Land Speeder was identical to the one Han had in his Lunar Mark . An original shoulder-firing laser weapon could be easily exchanged for billions of star coins . But here, it’s installed onto transportation tools like the Land Speeder .
When dealing with aliens, bribery was a very effective pass . These alien soldiers accepted the gifts sent by Ye Jincheng . With some glittering and exquisite decorations and a few boxes of high degree alcohol, they immediately gave them trading permits .
They hung some chains made of animals bones onto Han and the others’ necks, and after seeing this, there wouldn’t be any soldiers examining these businessmen . Thus, Han and the group would be able to freely trade goods on this planet .
“Do you guys belong to the Ye Family?” A tall alien fighter seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and he asked .
“No, we are a free travelling business group from the 35th star sector of the Milky Way . ”
“Oh, as long as you guys aren’t related to the Ye Family . ” The soldiers very easily believed Ye Jincheng’s words .
“If I may ask, doesn’t the Ye Family do business here as well? They are the largest commercial legion in the turbid star field . ” Ye Jincheng cautiously asked .
The tall soldier waved, and said very angrily, “The Ye Clan is not good! They pressure us with warships! If we don’t trade with them, they will start a war! We don’t like them . ”
Ye Jincheng nodded and didn’t say anything else .
The Headhunter clan’s soldiers were pretty nice, they immediately left behind four cargo-type Land Speeders and told them that once the goods are loaded, they can just go to somewhere crowded to trade . As for them, they just took the bribes and laughed their way back to town . They couldn’t care less about how Han was going to trade and what they were going to trade .
“That’s it?” Han asked with a little disbelief, “No need to pay taxes and they also don’t care what we are trading?”
Ye Jingchen said, “This alien race is all like this . They took the valuable things and must have went for drinks and woman . If you really trade with them, you will find out how ridiculous these guys are . Trading with them, not to mention how you make money from them, they will also make the women in the village sleep with you . In comparison to trading in the Milky Way Galaxy, I prefer trading in this wild sky, there’s more profit and freedom . ”
“What’s with the battleships that the Headhunter clan talked about?” Han asked again .

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
