Actually, they already have a rough estimate of the time Shen Shi left Blue Star.
From Ai Xin'Er, it can be seen that this period is about four years, not exceeding five years at most.
Four or five years should mean little in the vast interstellar realm.
Yet, Shen Shi managed to become the captain of a spaceship, managing numerous aliens, and was even able to leverage his "future" to secure funds possibly aiding Blue Star in resisting an entire alien fleet!
The most reasonable speculation is that Shen Shi has backing!
An entity that took him away from Blue Star and provided opportunities, possibly granting him all the current privileges!
And Shen Shi's words today undoubtedly increased this possibility.
If he has no backing, how could he meet such "friends" capable of assisting in such a short timeframe?
Of course, all of this is still just speculation.
Tao De wanted to inquire whether Shen Shi's friend was reliable, but he ultimately restrained himself.
