The Mech Touch novel Chapter 1378

As Ves continually tinkered with his Devil Tiger, his fleet smoothly entered the Felixia System.

Just like any other major tourism destination, the Felixia System became host to a lot of starships.

A considerable amount came from other states, but plenty of Sentinels headed towards the famed Planet of Cats as well. The high proportion of foreigners in the state made Felixia a lot more welcoming than other places within the Sentinel Kingdom!

\"Business is booming.\" Ves observed as he called up the local plot.

Thousands of vessels were transitioning in and out of FTL in the inner system. Most of the ships consisted of fuel-efficient passenger liners who transited tourists from neighboring foreign states at affordable prices.

As far as tourist destinations went, Felixia did not attract the highest number of visitors in the Sentinel Kingdom.

However, its many varieties of cats and cat-based services constantly attracted a very generous inflow of cat lovers!

When it came to their passion for cats, they freely opened their wallets and bank accounts. This made Felixia very profitable to the Noble House of Laterna, whose founders developed Felixia into the most prominent Cat Utopia in the star sector!

\"About half of the tourists are cat lovers.\" Captain Silvestra mentioned. \"They’re crazy about cats and can be completely unreasonable when the topic shifts towards them. No matter how many times they visit Felixia, they always come back to undergo another cat nirvana.\"

\"I know.\" Ves replied while he hugged Lucky against his chest. \"I’m looking forward to visiting it myself!\"

\"Be sure to buy an organic cat ear headband, then! I hear that it’s all the rage these days.\"

\"Maybe I’ll do so.\" He chuckled.

Nitaa and him developed a plan to cast him as a mild cat enthusiast when he visited the planet. Though Ves honestly did not adore them as much as the genuine cat lovers that frequent Felixia, disguising himself as one of them was a good idea to avoid attention.

Some cat lovers could be quite eccentric, so much so that they would probably be declared insane in any other place!

Felixia served as their refuge and their paradise. Whereas on other planets they had to keep their behavior in check, on the Planet of Cats they could fully unleash their true nature among like minded enthusiasts!

\"If you think about it, the Planet of Cats is literally a temple for cats.\" The captain remarked. \"While many casual tourists visit Felixia in order to enjoy a completely new experience, others are treating it as a holy pilgrimage!\"

The description caused Ves to grimace. If there was one thing he hated, it was fanatics who unflinchingly believed in something to the point of losing their common sense!

As much as he wanted to deny Captain Silvestra’s words, he knew that there were some odd people in the galaxy who adored cats above humans! As Felixia centered around everything related to cats, much of those crazies congregated to the planet like moths to the flame!

\"Many of those crazies flock to the Eron Continent, though.\" He stated. \"The cat worshippers love nothing more than to hug all of the cats that roam the cities, villages and wilderness of this continent!\"

Felixia featured four distinct continents. House Laterna, which founded and developed Felixia, engineered each continent towards a distinct purpose.

Eron was a hemisphere-sized petting zoo and playground. Tame cats of all sizes and harmless prey populated much of its idyllic landscapes.

Cat lovers and families with young children spent weeks or even months on this landmass without ever getting tired of all the cats they could hug and play with! Literally billions of docile cats ensured that no one ran out of cats to hug!

Ozzo had been turned into a big game hunting paradise. Cats whose sizes ranged from mouses to bears prowled the diverse environments of the Ozzo Continent.

Unlike the harmless and domesticated cats on Eron, most of the felines on Ozzo still retained their wildless! Aside from the cats of the start zones, the Ozzo cats were very much capable of killing their hunters!

While the prestige of hunting an Ozzo big cat was fairly significant, it paled in comparison to the much more extravagant huge game hunting that took place on the largest continent of the planet!

Asco’s sheer size and diversity of biomes housed many expansive hunting zones, each of which supported a specific mix of dangerous huge cats the size of dinosaurs or greater!

Aside from the three continents open to tourists, the Talin continent served as the administrative and research hub for Felixia. House Laterna also based themselves in the continent and guarded it very tightly against unauthorized visits.

Talin’s remoteness and inaccessibility posed a very significant challenge to Ves. While the other continents housed a large number of small-scale research outposts, they only hosted a minute amount of core research data.

If Ves or Nitaa identified a suspect researcher aligned to the Five Scrolls Compact, then they might not be able to obtain anything useful.

While Lucky could sneak into any facility with his abilities, it was hard to cross an entire ocean and roam undetected for days in a continent that House Laterna avidly guarded against any intrusion!

He left the bridge after he became assured that nothing unusual took place on Felixia. No terrorist attacks or major accidents occured.

Not a single docile cat killed any humans on the Eron Continent, though many tourists regularly incurred injuries when they handled a cat too roughly.

The hunters on foot in Ozzo left the planet with bundles of trophies in tow. A portion of them even wore their new overcoats made from the fur they harvested from their successful hunts with pride. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

As for the Asco Continent, business was booming as always. Even though some mechs, mech pilots and support personnel never came back alive from hunting the huge cats, a continual influx of hunting teams and their sponsors continually entered the depths of the hunting zones to challenge the mighty Crown Cats.

As the Barracuda and her escorts slowly traveled to Felixia I, Ves spent his remaining time on refining his mech design and preparing for his impending visit.
