Rainbow was a habitable planet in the Fal galaxy. Every time it rained, a rainbow bridge would appear on the horizon, faintly discernible. That was how Rainbow got its name. The headquarter of Prometheus Group was located here. Ye Chong was a typical man of action. He did not have the habit of wasting time. Once he found out that the illness did not affect him much, he immediately planned to leave Windstar. While the MPA and Black Cove had a conflict, and Ye Chong had not seen any mechs from the three parties for a long time, he did not believe that the three parties would end their hunt so easily.
Windstar was heavily damaged, and all sorts of aid organizations came to help. Soon, the number of starships entering and leaving Windstar increased, but Ye Chong could not find a starship that could directly reach Radiant Star.
Shang had been suggesting to build a starship. There were many advantages, such as being eye-catching, and a great tool to woo girls. Ye Chong and Mu were not interested in the benefits that Shang was talking about, but they agreed with Shang's suggestion.
If he had a starship, it would be a lot more beneficial. He would not have to ride on the ship every time, and he could also reduce the chances of being discovered by the three parties. Besides, it would give him the ability to travel in interstellar space. Ye Chong would have a wider range to maneuver around, be it advancing or retreating.
The most troublesome part would be the identity verification when the starship docked. But it was not a problem for Mu. He could easily solve this problem through the virtual world. And a legal identity was not a problem for Mu.
Since the three of them had reached a consensus, the main problem now was how to get a starship.
The price of a starship was on a completely different level compared to a mech. The organizations that could produce starships were all large organizations, with strong technical capabilities, huge resources, and rich connections. These were not what the small and medium organizations could afford.
Stealing someone else's starship was the first and only way Ye Chong could think of. However, this idea was unanimously rejected by Mu and Shang. Mu's reason was that the situation on Windstar was very tense, and almost everyone's attention was on it. If he made any sudden moves now, he would be exposed to everyone. Shang's reason was, how could a civilized person use such a vulgar method?
Since Mu and Shang were against it, it meant that they already had a better idea. Ye Chong could not be bothered. He still had a lot of things to do. Ye Chong could never have enough time, and he would never have nothing to do. He had too many things to learn. Learning was the best way to improve his strength, and strength was everything to him.
Ye Chong was in an abandoned underground warehouse. How did Mu find him? However, this place was very suitable for Ye Chong to practice his mech piloting. Ye Chong counted the mechs he had with him. Han Jia, Guardian. These were the mechs Ye Chong trusted the most. As for the mechs he got from the Sanctuary, the Overwing from Mu Fei, and the four Dawn mechs, he had also gotten four Dawn mechs. There were also some non-combat mechs that Ye Chong bought in Nine Gates City.
Needless to say, Han Jia and Guardian were mechs that Ye Chong was most familiar with and used. Overwing was undoubtedly an excellent mech, but Ye Chong had never used it before. Besides, some of its uses required the Sanctuary's special abilities, and Ye Chong, who had no talent as a mentalist, could not unleash the full potential of Overwing. However, many of its unique designs impressed Ye Chong, and greatly expanded his horizons. To Ye Chong, Overwing was more useful for research than practical use.
The four Dawn mechs were the same. Besides, the Dawn mechs were more than a level lower than Overwing. Ye Chong studied it for a while, and then put it aside. After so many excellent mechs, Ye Chong was no longer interested in mediocre mechs.
The problem was, be it Han Jia or Guardian, or even Overwing, they could not be seen in public. This was the biggest problem for Ye Chong. Han Jia was made of a special material, and could not last long with any paint on it. When the air blew, the paint would be exposed. Guardian had the same problem. Besides, compared to Han Jia, Guardian's miniature mech was more eye-catching. As for Overwing, taking it out would mean telling the Sanctuary that he killed Mu Fei. Ye Chong was not stupid enough to do that. On the other hand, Dawn could disguise itself as a mech pilot from the Sanctuary, but only once or twice.
Ye Chong was troubled to find that he had a few super mechs, but none of them could be used. It was like a person sitting on a mountain of treasures, but not a single one of them could be taken away.
"Sigh, I'll think about this later." Ye Chong could not think of a solution, so he put the problem aside.
After learning from Lan Yixing's chip, Ye Chong's understanding of combat had increased by more than a level. He was like an unorthodox person who had gone through countless real battles. Through the systematic study of specialized classes, he was able to have a deeper understanding of combat, and he would not be restricted by these systematic combat theories.
Hand-to-hand Combat could only be used in relatively limited ways. Ye Chong was now practicing mech combat. Piloting Han Jia, he tried to make Han Jia perform the moves he had memorized in his mind. Now that he had a deeper understanding of combat, he was constantly improving his mech combat techniques.
Ye Chong had changed from the complicated mech combat techniques of the past to simpler ones. They were no longer dazzling, simple and natural, but more powerful.
Han Jia was still the first choice for mech combat training. As for Guardian, it could almost be used to the fullest in hand-to-hand combat.
"Ye!" Shang suddenly called out to Ye Chong.
Ye Chong stopped. He guessed that Mu and Shang must have solved the problem of the starship, and asked, "What's wrong?"
As expected, Shang said excitedly, "Hehe, Ye, we bought our starship."
"Bought it?" Ye Chong immediately caught the main point of the sentence, and asked curiously, "Where did you get so much money?"
Ye Chong's question was immediately met with disdain from Shang. Shang did not take it seriously, "Money is just a number to me and Mu. It's not a difficult task. We have many ways to achieve this goal."
"Oh," Ye Chong replied. He was not interested in money either. Ye Chong asked, "Where's the starship?"
"Hehe, you'll need to receive it. Hmm, but before that, you'll need to apply for a new identity card, "Shang said.
It was not the first time Ye Chong had to apply for a new identity card, so he was familiar with the process, and it was done quickly. The name on the identity card this time was Gu Wei, an ordinary member of the Gu Family of Tian Luo galaxy. The Gu Family of Tian Luo reminded Ye Chong of Gu Shaoze. Gu Shaoze was from the Gu Family, and must be a very important member of the family, Ye Chong guessed.
"Shang, why did you change me to a member of the Gu Family?" Ye Chong asked.
Shang explained, "Starships are rarely owned by private individuals. Most of them are owned by financial groups, aristocratic families, or administrative organizations. Putting it under the name of the Gu Family would save us a lot of trouble, and it would not attract attention. Besides, we're going to Rainbow planet in Fal galaxy this time, far away from Tian Luo galaxy, so the chances of meeting the Gu Family would be much lower.
Besides, even if we did meet them, a large aristocratic family like the Gu Family would have more branches than you can imagine. The probability of the Gu Family knowing each other is very low. It would take a lot of effort to find out. "
"Oh, I see," Ye Chong expressed his understanding.
Ye Chong followed Shang's instructions and arrived at the docking area. He went around the countless docked starships and came to an inconspicuous corner.
A huge starship was parked there quietly. The black hull was flat and smooth, like a whale. There were no protrusions at all, and the smooth, streamlined back of the ship. The straight edges of a normal starship were nowhere to be seen on this starship.
Ye Chong's first impression was that it was huge! Compared to it, the nearby starships were like little brothers. Although it was much smaller than the Slan-class Sabre that Fred the Great rode on. The Sabre had a length of 10 kilometers, and this starship was not at the same level, but it was still about 5 kilometers long.
Shang was obviously satisfied with Ye Chong's expression. "Ye, what do you think? Not bad, right? Sigh, too bad it's not Slan-class, that's what I call cool. "
Seeing Ye Chong coming, a young man waiting by the side of the starship came to him and asked politely, "Excuse me, are you Mr Gu Wei?"
Ye Chong nodded and replied plainly, "I am."
"Oh, nice to meet you, Mr Gu Wei. I'm an employee of the Longwind Group. This is the Zika class starship you ordered. Due to your request, we did not name it. The naming rights will be given to you. Are you satisfied with it? If you are satisfied with it, please accept it and sign here. You will also enjoy our company's warranty service in various galaxies. The warranty terms are in your starship's photon processor, "the young man said politely.
"I see." Ye Chong nodded. Under the young man's guidance, Ye Chong boarded the starship. Ye Chong inserted his identity card into the photon processor of the starship, and went through security verification. Soon, the photon processor notified Ye Chong that he had accepted the card.
Next, the young man took out a palm-sized silver tablet. Under the young man's control, the tablet expanded to the size of a table and floated before Ye Chong. There was a flash of red, and words appeared on the tablet. It was a trade contract. Ye Chong took a laser pointer from the young man, and signed Gu Wei's name on the contract.
After that, the young man bid farewell to Ye Chong politely and left alone.
Ye Chong looked at the huge starship, hopping from one place to another. He had not felt so excited for a long time. This was the first starship Ye Chong had ever owned. The Zika class was not huge, but the length of 5 kilometers from the front to the back was enough to make it one of the larger starships.
"Ye, what do you think we should name this starship?" Shang was happy to see Ye Chong so excited.
"Even a starship needs a name?" Ye Chong asked curiously.
"Of course. Look at that old man Fred's starship, isn't it called Sabre?" Shang gave an example.
"Hmm, then let's call it Number One." Ye Chong felt that it was the most convenient name.
Of course, the name was strongly objected by Shang, "Ye, how could you choose such a tasteless name? No, no, I will never agree with this name."
Ye Chong waved his hand indifferently, "Then you name it." He was not interested in naming things.
The starship was too spacious. Even Mu and Shang felt it was spacious inside, let alone Ye Chong.
"Ye, go take a look at the main photon processor in the captain's cabin. There's a modification plan there. It's Mu's work. Hmm, the system has changed Mu. Hehe, don't worry about safety, "Shang said to Ye Chong.
Modification plan? Ye Chong was most interested in this kind of stuff. And it was Mu's work. Ye Chong rushed to the captain's cabin.
The captain's cabin could accommodate 80 people, but now there was only Ye Chong, so it felt empty.
Just as Ye Chong approached the processor, a proposal popped up in front of him. Without a doubt, the entire starship was under Mu and Shang's control. Without Mu and Shang, it would not be easy for Ye Chong to launch the starship. A Zika class starship would need at least 20 people to pilot it.
Ye Chong's attention was drawn to the modification plan of the starship.
The things that Mu came up with were indeed extraordinary! Ye Chong was amazed.
In Mu's proposal, the starship would be built with a small metal lab, a small alchemy lab, a small modification lab and a mech training ground. And this was only the first step.
And so Ye Chong began his shopping spree. Mu had injected a huge amount of money into his ID card. Ye Chong did not care how the money came from or where it came from. And at the same time, Shang came up with a new name for the starship: Coxcomb. However, Ye Chong and Mu did not care about this issue at all. Their noncommittal attitude was enough to make Shang a little depressed.
Coxcomb's communication system was very advanced. It could connect to the virtual world. Under Mu's guidance, Ye Chong bought a huge amount of equipment, materials and some daily necessities through the virtual world.
Endless money flowed out, but Ye Chong did not feel anything. It was just that there were more and more items being sent into the cabin. The engineering mech that Ye Chong had bought for a long time finally came in handy. Ye Chong worked as a porter every day. Of course, Shang was not spared. However, Mu and Shang's mech had lost an arm, so its efficiency was not as good as Ye Chong's.
The frenzied shopping spree lasted for five whole days before Ye Chong finally managed to buy everything he needed. Fortunately, the warehouse of Coxcomb was big enough, or else these items would be a headache for Ye Chong.
