Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 265 Space Pirates
Duan Mingyuan learned from the space pirate crew what happened when he participated in the decryption game.

Someone revealed the news of the death of the Queen of Mechanical Star to the Oasis Alliance, and conveyed to them that the great secret treasure had been discovered first and was now hidden somewhere in the Mechanical Royal Court. Therefore, the pirate leader showed enough professionalism and immediately gathered all the manpower on Mechanical Star and headed straight for the Mechanical Royal Court.

After losing the control of the Queen, the "Mirage" was easily torn open by the pirates' flagship.

And what is going to happen next is the same as on countless planets they have visited.

When it comes to plundering, first come first served, whatever they grab becomes their spoils.

In addition to the great secret treasures, there are also countless creations left behind by great craftsmen on the Mechanical Star. Each one is priceless and can be auctioned for a high seven-digit price on the Chamber of Commerce's black market.

Even the adventurers joined them, and the atmosphere on the flagship was very excited. However, when they were about to drop the second tactical nuclear bomb on the Gear Hotel, something strange happened.

The control system crashed for unknown reasons, and an unexplained explosion occurred in the armory.

Then someone took advantage of the chaos to board the flagship.

The surveillance footage showed a cyborg wearing a retro cowboy hat, like an actor who had just run out of a film set.

The weapon was a revolver, which looked like an antique, but had amazing firepower. The support troops, including the battle team leader, were almost wiped out in just one encounter.

There were only a few people on board the flagship with the cyborg. It was hard for them to imagine that with such a small number of people that could not even form a small team, they dared to go against one of the strongest pirate groups in the universe.

"The strongest pirate group?"

Duan Mingyuan became interested. A space pirate who could own such a flagship would definitely not be a small-time character.

"This is the Fortress."

The pirate crew had no idea where the man in front of them came from. They had never even heard of the famous "Fortress".

Their captain used a large amount of looted materials to purchase weapons and equipment, and built a military fortress that was no less powerful than the company's war cruiser. The firepower on the flagship was enough to raze a country to the ground in an instant.

"Our captain is the famous 'Tyrant' Arctus!"

The crew member emphasized his tone, trying to describe the captain's power through his tone, in order to intimidate the countryman who had never seen the world. He reported the captain's glorious deeds, "Our captain is a ruthless character who bombarded his own home planet. If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly. I can pretend that I have never seen you!"

"Bombarded its own home planet. Why?"

Duan Mingyuan asked immediately.

The pirate's eyes went dark, and he felt that there was definitely something wrong with this man's brain circuit.

He mentioned the captain's reputation, not to make Duan Mingyuan ask a million questions. Since the moment they met, the other party had never stopped asking questions, from their plans to the big and small things on the "Fortress", and now the topic was brought to the captain.

"Because the company secretly joined forces with the rebels on the captain's planet to launch an armed coup. You must have heard of the Universal Company, right? The captain was not even afraid of the company and fought a fierce battle with them. Although he was forced to leave the home planet, he also launched an artillery attack before leaving, blowing the entire city to pieces, leaving nothing for the company!"

The crew knew everything.

In his opinion, winning or losing is not important. Anyone who dares to go against the Universal Company can be regarded as a famous figure in the universe.

"I see."

"If you know, get off the boat before the captain finds you."

"No."

Duan Mingyuan refused decisively. He walked to the hole on the deck and started repairing it.

He was very satisfied with the flagship. The damage was not big and it could be restored to its original state with simple rescue work.

"You should know the consequences of offending the 'tyrant', right?"

Although his body couldn't move, the pirate still struggled to speak. "Yeah, I know."

Duan Mingyuan nodded, "Don't just stare, come over and give me a hand."

This person is absolutely crazy!

The pirates had no idea what Duan Mingyuan was here for. Unlike the cyborg, he did not start killing people as soon as he stepped onto the deck. Instead, he helped them repair the flagship.

He didn't want Duan Mingyuan, nor did he want to have anything to do with the madman, but his body moved uncontrollably.

The mechanized arms changed, and the palms transformed into maintenance tools at a speed visible to the naked eye. The feet were transformed into grappling hooks that allowed his body to be hung from the ceiling, allowing for maintenance from all angles.

The pirates shouted loudly, but their voices were soon drowned out by the sound of gunfire from farther away.

His identity is not important at all on this ship, and no one will come to rescue him.

At this moment, the crew member felt that only his head belonged to him, while his torso and limbs had become machines controlled by someone. The man who had turned him into this state was carefully repairing the damaged area of ​​the flagship, as if he was treating it as his own property.

"W-What on earth did you do to my body?"

The pirate screamed. He had followed this flagship to countless planets but had never seen such a strange thing.

Horrified and humiliated.

Such words are usually uttered by those who are being plundered, but now the positions of both parties have been reversed.

"The Curse of Flesh and Blood is a contagious disease unique to the Planet of Mechanical Art. The symptom is that the body will gradually transform into a machine."

Duan Mingyuan shared the medical knowledge he had learned with the pirates without looking back.

People on this planet are terrified of the Flesh and Blood Curse, but Duan Mingyuan believes that this disease can bring many conveniences if used properly.

For example, now he has an all-purpose maintenance tool man by his side.

However, his answer did not seem to calm the pirates' hearts. Instead, their screams became more and more shrill. Of course, he had heard of the curse of flesh and blood, and knew that it was an incurable terminal illness. If the "cocooning" had not suddenly stopped for unknown reasons, they would have been ready to leave the Mechanical Planet.

Even the captain didn't want to stay on a planet full of plague for too long.

"Let me go! What do you want to do?"

"Fix it for me and I'll let you go."

Duan Mingyuan was a reasonable man, but this crew member didn't seem very smart. In order to prevent him from continuing to yell, he explained, "As for what I want to do, isn't it obvious? Your flagship is very good, a good ship, you can't just waste it like this."

The crewman opened his mouth, but before he could make another sound, an arc of light passed through his waist, freeing him from his fear forever.

The body that was split into two fell straight to the ground with a dull sound.

"You are what they call an intruder, right?"

After cutting the crew in half, the figure appeared behind Duan Mingyuan.

His entire body was covered in metal, his arms had been modified, and there were two holes in the center of his palms, sprayed with dark blue lasers.

The pair of artificial eyes were fixed on Duan Mingyuan.

The visitor did not intend to give Duan Mingyuan any time to explain. Without waiting for the latter to speak, he once again turned into a stream of light and rushed straight towards Duan Mingyuan.

"Then let's start with you."
