It happened so suddenly that the galactic pirates were stunned. Seeing their boss Sykes tumbling in space, the Purple Snake Space Pirates finally realized that this was an enemy attack, and their expressions changed.
"Quick, help the boss!"
"The enemy should be in the main ship. Surround the main ship and don't let him escape!"
The galactic pirates yelled. Two of the spaceships approached Sykes, and the other dozens of spaceships quickly formed an encirclement formation.
Through the porthole, Han Xiao could clearly see the spaceships turning around and aiming their cannons at the main ship he was in. Han Xiao smiled and called out to Philip in the helmet.
"Philip, assist me with Virtual Intrusion."
"Order confirmed. Switching to virtual interface view, hum …"
The tactical screen in the helmet displayed the intrusion interface. The mechanical suit's chest emitted a cone-shaped green light, forming a virtual operation screen in front of him. Han Xiao's fingers quickly entered the code.
The first to be invaded was the main ship of the Purple Snake Space Pirates.
You have used [Virtual Intrusion] on the Purple Snake Battleship. Starting to crack the firewall (Level 2). Proceeding with Level 1 authentication … authentication passed!
Proceeding with Level 2 authentication … authentication passed!
Intrusion successful! You have obtained the authority to operate the Purple Snake Battleship!
Authority Level: Highest
Data has been sampled!
[Backup generation complete!]
+ 10% success rate and + 25% speed for the next intrusion into a machine controlled by the same artificial intelligence.
Your authority has been blocked by the enemy's virtual intelligence. Proceeding with Level 2 authentication passed!
You have successfully retained your authority!
Next Authorization Authentication Time: 140 seconds later.
The virtual intelligence used by the galactic pirates' spaceships was obviously far inferior to Dark-star's. It only had a Level 2 firewall. Han Xiao was already at the Calamity Grade level, so his Virtual Intrusion ability was also greatly improved. Invading the galactic pirates' spaceships was a piece of cake, and he immediately obtained the highest level of authority.
The level of authority obtained from the first intrusion was inversely proportional to the difficulty of the intrusion. It was equivalent to the virtual intelligence of the Purple Snake Space Pirates being pressed against the ground, unable to fight back at all.
The interface immediately displayed the virtual model of the Purple Snake Battleship. All the modules were available, and Han Xiao tapped on the shield module.
"Activate the shield at full power."
The next moment, an oval-shaped light blue electromagnetic shield enveloped the entire spaceship.
Dong, dong, dong —
Outside the porthole, dozens of plundering ships saw this and gathered fire without saying a word. A light cannon exploded on the shield, and the inside of the spaceship shook incessantly.
"The shield should be able to last for a few minutes. We have plenty of time."
Han Xiao was not in a hurry as he began to perform Virtual Intrusion on the other targets.
He didn't throw Sykes out on a whim. Instead, he wanted to seize control of the flagship and defend against the concentrated fire of the pirate gang.
Sykes was one of the weaker existences among the Calamity Grade Supers. If it was a one on one battle, Han Xiao's chances of winning were very high. However, this was not a one on one battle but a group battle.
He was faced with a fleet of space pirates!
Han Xiao's strategy from the very beginning was to seize a favorable location and display the abilities of a Virtual Mechanic!
While this side was bombarding, not far away, Sykes was still floating in space. Although he could use his energy to move, he was not a martial artist after all, and his Esper ability did not increase his speed.
When he turned around, he saw his subordinates driving two pillaging ships towards him. They were obviously here to receive him. Sykes's eyes lit up. He urged his energy and approached them.
Only now did Sykes have the time to think about what to do next.
He originally did not want to make an enemy out of Han Xiao, but the other party had taken the initiative to come knocking on his door. This matter could not be settled peacefully. Both parties were already enemies!
Sykes was burning with anger. He gritted his teeth. The other party had come alone, making him feel that Han Xiao did not even put the Purple Snake Space Pirates in his eyes.
If that was the case, then he would not care about anything else. He might as well get rid of Black Star right here and now!
Killing intent rose in Sykes's heart.
The two pillaging ships finally approached. Sykes put away his thoughts and prepared to wait for his subordinates to open the hatch to receive him.
Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The two pillaging ships fired beams of light cannons at Sykes. His vision instantly turned into a vast expanse of white as a surging heat assaulted him.
Sykes's expression changed drastically!
In the battleship Purple Snake that was under fire, Han Xiao's operation interface had two more virtual models of the raiding spaceships. He had long noticed the spaceship that had gone to pick up Sykes and directly hacked it to take control. He did not want Sykes to run to other spaceships.
His fingers danced on the control interface, creating blurry afterimages. The speed of his input was extremely shocking. The artificial intelligence of the pillaging ships could not fight back at all. One after another, the pillaging ships turned into Han Xiao's shape. It was as if a green grassland had appeared above Sykes' head. The main ship suffered fewer and fewer attacks. The pillaging ships controlled by Han Xiao opened fire at the other galactic pirates, and the galactic pirates were instantly thrown into chaos.
A Calamity Grade Virtual Mechanic was enough to deal with an entire galactic pirate fleet alone!
The high-level combatants in the galaxy were not just for show. This was especially true for Mechanics in the later stages. Once they reached this level, their combat power would be extremely shocking. They could adapt to both one-on-one and group fights.
The situation changed rapidly. A small portion of people saw that the situation was not good and quickly escaped with their ships. The word 'loyalty' was not in the dictionary of galactic pirates.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the cannon fire gradually became sparse. Other than the fleeing and destroyed spaceships, all the other spaceships fell into Han Xiao's control.
Han Xiao stepped onto the pillaging ships one after another and cleaned up the galactic pirates inside. A portion of those who were not too bad were left behind. The few Grade B officers of the galactic pirates were among them. They were all tied up and thrown into the Purple Snake battleship. As for the holes in the ship, they had already been repaired by the repair robots.
Capturing Sykes did not take much effort. Han Xiao mobilized a large number of pillaging ships to focus fire on him alone. Although the power of these spaceships' light cannons was far weaker than the main cannon of Dark-star, there were too many of them. Sykes could not move freely in space, and it was difficult for him to dodge. He was a living target. It was so miserable that even Han Xiao could not bear to watch.
After confirming that Sykes was about to explode, Han Xiao controlled the gravitational force of the spaceship to drag Sykes back to the Purple Snake battleship and threw him in front of the other galactic pirates.
"B-Boss …"
All the captured galactic pirates looked at the half-dead Sykes and could not help but feel fear.
Grade A Supers rarely became galactic pirates. The cohesion of the Purple Snake Space Pirates came from Sykes's strength, which gave the galactic pirates under him a lot of confidence.
However, Sykes did not even have to fight a few rounds with the enemy before he was easily defeated. The powerful image that Sykes had in their hearts was instantly shattered.
The more they admired Sykes in the past, the more they feared Han Xiao now.
"Some escaped, but they are all small fries. Not important."
Han Xiao stood in front of everyone and put away the Berserk Ape. The galactic pirates who were still alive were all captured, so there was no need for Virtual Intrusion. The spaceships were all in his hands.
After counting, excluding the spaceships that escaped in time, he had captured a total of twenty-four spaceships. Although most of them were cheap pillaging ships, there was also this Raven Cannon battleship, which was quite a bountiful harvest.
Sykes was severely injured. His hands and feet were locked by the Electromagnetic Confinement Ring. He lay on the ground on his side and stared at Han Xiao with hatred and resentment in his eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. Since you provoked others, you should be mentally prepared for them to come knocking on your door." Han Xiao shrugged.
"…" Sykes smiled bitterly and had nothing to say. He had a stubborn look on his face that said, "Do whatever you want."
"A Calamity Grade Super should be able to last longer."
Han Xiao was not going to be polite with the captive. His eyes sparkled as he muttered to himself. He took out the Super Gene Extractor and walked toward Sykes step by step.
Seeing Han Xiao's fervent eyes, Sykes suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He suddenly recalled Befuli's miserable state, and his expression changed. "Don't come over! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you! Don't come over! Don't! "
Han Xiao turned a deaf ear to him and directly inserted the Super Gene Extractor into Sykes's blood vessels. He extracted the Super Gene and formed three blood-red Ability Potions that looked like thick blood plasma.
A sense of weakness appeared in Sykes's bones. What little energy he had left dissipated. He could not feel the Esper Ability that he used to be so handy. It was as if he had suddenly lost the feeling of his limbs. He instantly panicked.
This time, Han Xiao took out a fresh tube of Ability Potion and drank it all.
Sykes's entire body trembled. Looking at someone else drinking his own blood, he suddenly felt a sense of fear. His eyes widened, and his lips trembled.
You have received [Character Summon Card – Sykes (Temporary)]!
Sykes had many abilities. The abilities that the Ability Potion drew were random, and they were basically different ways to use the Esper Ability.
This was an Esper Ability that created some kind of substance. It was a little weak in terms of combat power, but the substance created would not disappear. Thus, there were more ways to use it.
The destructive power of this Esper Ability is actually very scary. As long as he has enough time, he can create a venom that can cover an entire continent, or even make the surface of a planet barren … This is a poison that can destroy a country!
The way Han Xiao looked at Sykes changed. It was as if he was looking at a biological weapon, with a hint of disappointment.
Coming to be a galactic pirate with such an awesome Esper Ability, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?
Not long after, all the captive galactic pirates had their Ability Potions extracted. Han Xiao checked their various abilities and had a rough idea. He then locked everyone up, especially Sykes, who he took special care of.
"The threat of the Purple Snake Space Pirates is finally dealt with. It took me more than half a month …"
Han Xiao looked at the forums. Other than Planet Sunil, the first batch of missions from the other players had basically been completed. Most of them were successful, and a small number of players triggered new events outside. More players returned to Base No.1 to take on new missions and upgrade their equipment. They also provided Han Xiao with a sum of money. Everything was on the right track.
"I stole more than twenty spaceships this time. Maybe fighting galactic pirates is also a way to get rich …" Han Xiao was deep in thought. In the past, he was not strong enough. Now that he had stepped into the Calamity Grade, capturing normal galactic pirates was a piece of cake. Not only could he steal spaceships, but he could also capture galactic pirates as materials for Ability Potions or even exchange them for bounties.
Sykes had a bounty of 2,800,000 Enas in the Black Raven Civilization, but Han Xiao did not plan to exchange for the bounty now. He had to at least squeeze Sykes dry first before handing him over for money.
After sorting out the spoils of war, Han Xiao took the twenty spaceships he had stolen and started the journey back to the Garton Star System.
…
A few days after Han Xiao left, the escaped Purple Snake Galactic Pirates spread the news of what had happened. Only then did the Fawn Star System know what had happened.
Black Star single-handedly overturned the entire Purple Snake Galactic Pirates!
This news was not big, but it was not a small matter either. The Purple Snake Galactic Pirates had always been committing crimes in the Fawn Star System, and they were quite famous. Such a large galactic pirate gang had been defeated by Black Star single-handedly, and many people were curious about the reason.
Some said that Sykes had kidnapped the Black Star Corps people, some said that this was a mission that Black Star had accepted, and some said that Black Star had specifically targeted the galactic pirates to steal their resources, and the Purple Snake Galactic Pirates were the victims. There were all kinds of rumors.
In short, the annihilation of a large galactic pirate gang was a good thing for the citizens of the Fawn Star System.
The Black Raven Civilization also received this news. They were waiting for Black Star to come and exchange for the bounty, and at the same time, they wanted to befriend this famous person who had recently risen to power.
However, after waiting for a few days, they received news that Han Xiao had already returned to the Garton Star System.
The staff of the Black Raven Civilization's Bounty Department were a little dumbfounded. Black Star was not coming for the bounty. Did he not want it?
Since he did not want the bounty, now that the Purple Snake Galactic Pirates had been annihilated, could they just cancel the bounty?
This was also the usual practice. Once a wanted criminal was killed and no one came to claim the bounty, it could be considered that the bounty had ended.
However, this method was rejected by the higher-ups of the relevant departments of the Black Raven Civilization. They decided to keep the bounty and wait for Black Star to claim it.
There were many reasons. First, they wanted to use this opportunity to rope him in. It would be a waste if they did not take the bounty. Black Star would most likely come over in the future.
Second, they were interested in the relationship between Black Star and the Godora Civilization. Black Star had once been attacked by Dark-star in the Fawn Star System. At that time, the Dragon Emperor had brazenly attacked, and it had been earth-shattering.
During that incident, the Black Raven Civilization's competitor, the Holy Stone Civilization, seemed to be on bad terms with Black Star. This was an opportunity. If they could use the relationship between Black Star and Godora, they would be able to suppress Holy Stone.
