The Blacklight Stealth carried Jupiter and the others to the nearest planet.
Jupiter and the others walked around, curiously looking at the interior of the spaceship. This was Black Star's spaceship, and very few players were allowed to board it.
Risda had sealed off most of the access to the cabins, so these players could only enter and exit some unimportant public areas.
"This spaceship should be very valuable, right?" Poseidon said.
"I've searched. This seems to be a spaceship model from a super advanced civilization." Jupiter nodded.
With the communicator, the players could connect to the galactic network, and they were no longer 'natives'. All sorts of information channels were finally opened to them, and their knowledge increased every day. With Philip's support of the search function, they could search for any information online. The players gradually got used to asking Philip for help.
"Spaceships are too expensive. I don't know when we'll be able to afford one." Poseidon shook his head.
"Actually, it's not certain. As long as we do a few missions and raise funds from the guild, it's still possible to buy some basic spaceships."
As the leader of a guild under a club, Jupiter had always considered the long term. The resources he could mobilize far exceeded that of the average player. The spaceship, which was a sky-high price in the eyes of the average player, was still something he could afford. After all, the guild of a club was basically a company. Excluding the peripheral members and casual players, the internal members were all employees. Mobilizing funds was just a matter of a word from them.
What he was thinking about was what kind of advantages he would get if he gave the guild a spaceship in advance. Was it worth it?
At this time, a core member with the ID 'Michael' said, "Leader, actually, we can buy functional spaceships. I've checked the various resources and fuel prices in the free market, and many large corporations are buying them without limit. Although the price is a little low, the profits are very stable."
Jupiter's expression changed. "You mean to buy mining ships?"
"Yes. Organize a mining team to collect resources from uninhabited planets and sell them to buyers. This is a reliable source of funds," Michael said confidently.
"In the early stages, the return rate is relatively slow, but as we mine and do missions, we can gather funds to buy more mining ships. After accumulating funds in the early stages, our profits will continue to rise, and when it reaches a certain point, it will start to snowball. If we have an entire mining fleet, our profits will increase exponentially."
Jupiter was a little tempted. "So, the earlier we buy a mining ship, the greater our advantage."
"That's right." Michael nodded and added, "Now, hiring missions are the way to go. Everyone is doing them, and the profits are very high. However, big guilds like Dynasty and Long Sky are at the same level as us and can mobilize more manpower, so they will definitely think of more ways to earn money … Damn you, Old Ju, time waits for no one."
Aside from making money, the work of the club guilds was also to provide better logistical support for the pro players. Jupiter couldn't help but hesitate.
Poseidon glanced at Michael. "Don't tell me you're a colleague from another guild's Office of Strategic Deception. Hurry up and leave the group to prove your innocence."
"Go away." Michael raised his middle finger in response.
Poseidon curled his lips and looked at the decorations in the cabin. Suddenly, he said, "Old Ju, if we steal this spaceship, won't we make a killing? I'm afraid we'll leave Dynasty far behind."
Everyone looked at him speechlessly.
"Actually, you're the spy," Michael retorted.
"I was just saying it casually. Look at how anxious you all are."
Poseidon clicked his tongue.
…
From the rendezvous point to the Fawn Star System, they had to pass through many stargates, so the journey time was not short.
However, in order to get rid of Sykes, this hidden danger, Han Xiao decided to wait patiently.
The raiding spaceship traveled in the universe. In a certain secluded place on the spaceship, Han Xiao in his Chaos Body stuck close to the wall. He realized that the racial talent of the Chaos Observer seemed to be very suitable for this kind of careless stealth … Any stealth that did not kill all the witnesses was careless.
Because he was in his Chaos Body state, Han Xiao had nothing else to do. He could only browse the forums every day and understand the progress of their hiring missions from the players' posts. Because they had not been in the universe for long, the players were still relatively well-behaved, and most of their missions were going smoothly. On Planet Sunil's side, the 200,000 mercenaries were also working in full swing.
The situation was reassuring.
Other than browsing the forums, Han Xiao used the Observer's Mark to spy on Aroshia, Serbia the Fifth, and Herlous to pass the time.
After more than ten days, the raiding spaceship finally left the Garton Star System and entered the Fawn Star System, connecting with the main fleet very quickly.
The Purple Snake Space Pirate Gang fleet had more than forty battleships, and the majority of them were small and medium-sized raiding spaceships. The main spaceship was a modified Raven Cannon battleship, which was the main spaceship model of the Black Raven Civilization in the Fawn Star System. A space pirate gang of this size was already considered a big space pirate gang that could not be underestimated.
The raiding spaceship flew into the fleet and docked with the main spaceship. A few space pirates carried the weak Befuli through the passage and came to the main spaceship hall. Sykes had been waiting there for a long time. The hall was filled with his subordinates, and three Grade B officers were waiting at the side.
Sykes sat in his seat, and when he saw the skinny Befuli, he suddenly stood up and hurried over with a surprised expression.
"Befuli, how did you become like this?"
Befuli looked at Syke, his lips trembling. Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and his voice was sobbing.
"Black Star is a devil!"
"What exactly did he do to you?"
Sykes could not help but size Befuli up. In his memory, Befuli was a burly man, but now, he was as thin as a stick, and his entire body was shriveled up. It was as if he would fall with just a push, and he was crying like a softie.
Not only him, the other space pirates also looked at him with disbelief. They could not believe that their strong comrade would become so pitiful.
What exactly did he go through for a Grade B Super to become like this?
When Befuli thought of those hellish days, he could not help but reveal a look of fear, and he subconsciously shivered.
"He … he imprisoned me in a dark cabin. I don't even know how long it has been. He used a device to continuously extract my Super genes, and the speed of my recovery became slower and slower. Until now, I have only recovered a little of my strength …"
Those who obtained strength could not bear to lose it the most. Every time he recovered a little of his strength, it would be mercilessly taken away. He had to go through this cycle again and again, especially when he was imprisoned in a cell and lost the feeling of time. All these actions had caused Befuli severe mental trauma.
Hearing this, Sykes could not help but shiver. He secretly regretted his decision to provoke Black Star.
He did not expect that this guy was not only strong, but he was also a f * cking pervert!
Originally, because Befuli was a Grade B Super that he valued, he took the risk to threaten Black Star. Now, it seemed that Befuli was almost crippled, and he did not know how long it would take for his mental state to recover. What Sykes needed was a useful officer, not a useless person.
Even if there were some space pirates present who did not usually get along with Befuli, seeing Befuli in such a pitiful state, they could not help but feel pity.
"Black Star insisted on the deal, so he is probably using Befuli as an example to threaten us …" another Grade B space pirate said.
Sykes nodded with a heavy heart.
"What do we do now? Are we not going to take revenge for Befuli?" In the crowd, someone suddenly asked.
Sykes's face immediately sank. Of course, he did not want to provoke Black Star again, but asking this question in such a situation was simply making things difficult for him. If he directly said no, wouldn't he lose his prestige, lose his leadership, and be looked down upon by his subordinates?
"I have my own plan." Helpless, Sykes could only give an ambiguous answer, intending to change the topic.
At this time, the person who asked the question just now spoke again in the crowd.
"What kind of plan, and how exactly are we going to do it?"
It's you again, can you shut up!
"Is this something you have the right to know?"
Sykes's face was not looking good. He looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see which subordinate dared to question his boss.
Seeing that their boss was angry, the space pirates hurriedly separated, revealing the person who spoke. The eyes of all the space pirates in the hall focused on him, wanting to see who was so daring.
Hmm, seems to be a Galactic Human, wearing a black trench coat, seems to be quite tall, looks … hmm, why does he look a little familiar?
Sykes stared at this person, blinked, and confusion appeared in his eyes. The next moment, his expression suddenly turned to shock, and he jumped up, shouting in shock and anger.
"Black Star! Why the f * ck are you here? "
The surrounding space pirates jumped out of fear as if they had seen a ghost, and the space around Han Xiao became empty.
The whole place was silent. Han Xiao glanced around, then stared at Sykes, stroked his chin, and slowly said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to make a deal with you this time."
"… What deal?"
"I want you to give up your freedom in exchange for …" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said, "your life!"
Bzzz!
As soon as he said that, a violent bolt of Mechanical Force shot out, and the Berserk Ape instantly possessed him. Han Xiao fired a High Energy Concentrated Particle Cannon, directly blasting through the armor of the spaceship from the inside, revealing a hole that directly connected to the universe outside.
The suction force from the vacuum was like a hurricane, and all the space pirates in the hall were pulled out of the spaceship by the terrifying suction force and thrown into the universe. The bodies of some of the weaker Supers quickly stiffened, and their blood vessels ruptured. The vacuum environment of the universe was also fatal to low-grade Supers.
Only Sykes and a few of the stronger space pirates were able to stabilize themselves and resist the suction force. The vacuum environment of the universe could only be considered a harsh environment, and at most, movement would be restricted, but it was not fatal. As for Calamity Grades, they were not afraid at all.
The mechanical suit had its own internal circulation, and the vacuum had no effect on Han Xiao at all. He was floating in midair.
Sykes's face was filled with rage, and his mouth opened and closed as if he was roaring. However, the sound of air being sucked out suppressed his voice, and it was almost inaudible.
Han Xiao did not say anything and heavily punched the alloy floor, using [Power Explosion]!
Boom!
A shockwave with electric arcs burst out, and the alloy floor was directly twisted and broken!
The aftermath swept out, and the collapse continued to expand outward. The hall and the nearby cabins began to explode and collapse, and the hole instantly expanded by a few times.
Having lost their footing, all the space pirates except for Sykes were sucked away. Sykes was the only one who was able to steady himself by throwing out purple, sticky tentacles as thick as his arms and stabbing them into the alloy walls around him.
Secreting purple sticky liquid was Sykes' Esper Ability. This sticky liquid was highly toxic and corrosive, and it could also solidify temporarily into tentacles and other forms. Furthermore, the secreted purple sticky liquid could be stored for a long time, and Sykes could actively adjust the degree of corrosion of the sticky liquid. This was where his nickname 'Purple Snake' came from.
Sykes was an Esper, but he also had armor. However, he was not a Mechanic, and the armor could not be compressed into a portable orb. It was currently in his personal warehouse.
Although he hated Han Xiao to the core, he knew that the most important thing right now was to put on the armor. At least he would be able to move freely regardless of the vacuum. He immediately used his tentacles to move along the wall, heading straight for his personal warehouse.
The thrusters fired, leaving behind a faint trail of flames. Han Xiao approached Sykes' back at high speed.
At this time, Sykes suddenly waved his hand, and a wave of purple sticky liquid slammed toward him. The edges of the sticky liquid came into contact with the walls of the spaceship, and thick smoke came out. The corrosive traces were like melting.
"This Esper Ability is quite interesting."
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled. The vambrace suddenly changed shape, revealing a row of pipes, and he clenched his fist.
The interior of the spaceship had not completely turned into a vacuum, and a large amount of air was sucked in by the nano holes all over the mechanical suit. Immediately after, a row of high-pressure air cannons shot out from the vambrace, directly scattering the wave of purple sticky liquid.
The corrosive sticky liquid splashed everywhere, and the surroundings were instantly filled with thick smoke.
Han Xiao accelerated and grabbed one of Sykes' arms.
Mechanical Force exploded all over his body, and the thrusters fired in reverse. Han Xiao instantly stopped in place, grabbed Sykes' arms, and made a twisting throwing motion.
Berserk Throw!
…
"Main ship, please answer! Main ship, please answer! What's the situation now? "
In space, the dozens of raiding spaceships of the Purple Snake Space Pirates surrounded the main ship that Sykes was in.
Everything was normal at first, but dozens of seconds ago, all the raiding spaceships suddenly lost contact with the main ship. No matter how they called, the main ship would only respond with silence.
Just when the other raiding spaceships were about to dock with the main ship to check the situation, the outer armor of the main ship suddenly exploded, leaving a hole. Countless items were sucked into space like a tornado, including many of their galactic pirate companions.
Before the galactic pirates on the other spaceships could be shocked, the next moment, the tail of the spaceship, which was thousands of meters away from the hole in the hall, also had a hole blown open. A large amount of broken metal flew out along with a figure. It was their boss, Sykes.
