Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 726 If you can speak, speak more
As long as there is trade, there will be people who want to do business without any capital.

No matter what the reason is or what the background is, these people will never disappear completely.

Even in interstellar travel, there are interstellar pirates.

"Anyway, they are enemies, right?"

"Of course it's the enemy! Hold them back, the Planetary Defense Force should be here soon."

"That's so boring."

Li Chengxi flicked the joystick, and the Manta dived 90 degrees while rotating.

"Just wipe them out completely."

If someone else said this, Alyssa would probably complain, "Do you eat oil cakes?"

But Li Chengxi said this...

He killed all three squadrons of space fighters, and I'm not exaggerating.

The Manta's engines were pushed to maximum, and the surging engine light looked like a sparkling star in the dark void.

Noticing that the Manta began to maneuver, especially without direct confrontation, the Void Pirates thought it was afraid and immediately followed suit.

Alyssa had already heard the pirates' howling and an ultimatum on the communication channel.

"Surrender your ship and all its cargo immediately, or we will take it ourselves!"

There was no high-value cargo on the Manta. After all, after loading the fuel and necessities, there was not much space left in the already small cargo hold.

But the Pirates don't think so.

Shuttles are generally only used between starships or near space stations. Seeing a shuttle in the void means that it is busy transporting cargo on short routes.

This is the main target of pirates' robbery. They rely on their small number and small size to run away when they encounter tough guys and bully weak ones. They survive on this.

Alyssa did not open the communicator to argue with the pirates. She just put on the mask silently and then took her hands off the keyboard...

In view of the previous situation, Alyssa specially bought the best pressure-resistant suit at the Gemini Space Station. It is said that its performance is almost the same as that of military ones.

Although this cost a lot of money, it proved to be very necessary.

The Manta Ray's engine suddenly shut down while it was diving, and the attitude control nozzles arranged around the body worked at full capacity. In front of the Void Pirates' unbelieving eyes, the Manta Ray completed a 180-degree turn in an instant.

Fine sparks from electromagnetic weapons lit up beneath the Manta, and machine gun shells mixed with tracer bullets drowned the closest shuttle in exploding powder.

The blue shield lit up first in the smoke, but just as the driver was rejoicing, a high-energy ion beam instantly blew it up, turning the shuttle into an orange flash in the void.

"The machine gun feels OK, but it's a little less powerful."

"It was you who requested that all the machine guns be equipped with high-explosive shells!"

Alyssa was able to complain even under high overload conditions, which shows that the money spent on the pressure suit was not wasted.

It was indeed Li Chengxi's request to replace all the ammunition belts of the machine gun with high-explosive shells, leaving only a few tracer bullets.

A typical ammunition belt contains two armor-piercing rounds, one high-explosive round, and one tracer round.

The reason for this configuration is that armor-piercing shells are used to destroy the target's shield, high-explosive shells are used for killing, and tracer shells are used to assist in aiming.

Replacing all of them with high-explosive weapons will result in a serious lack of armor-piercing ability.

But Li Chengxi made such a request because he learned from the first battle that even with armor-piercing shells, the damage of machine guns to shields was still limited.

The space fighters hit the Manta, but failed to penetrate the shield, which was proof. So Li Chengxi chose to be more extreme, and the high-explosive bombs were mainly used to block the field of vision and weaken the enemy, and the ultimate kill was of course to use ion beams.

Originally, they were all swarming to chase, but because Li Chengxi turned around on the spot, it became a two-way confrontation, and the pirates' most resilient shuttle was instantly destroyed.

It was obvious that the remaining shuttles and miscellaneous aircraft panicked and began to frantically fire dense rain of bullets.

This scene is not unfamiliar. Li Chengxi encountered similar players when he was playing flight simulation games. They thought they had a large number of people and were targeting the six o'clock directions of the target. The biggest problem was who could get the kill.

However, they ignored the enemies coming from other directions, and eventually all of them were killed by the phishing tactics.

Don’t think that games are just games. Many tactics can be directly used in military applications, and there are also many examples of military tactics being used in games.

Faced with the rain of bullets coming towards him, Li Chengxi not only did not pull the joystick violently to avoid it, but he even pushed the thrust lever to the maximum again and faced it head-on.

From Alyssa's perspective, it was like Li Chengxi was trying to catch a cannonball with his face, which was very thrilling.

But Li Chengxi was quite confident in doing so. From the opponent's shooting, it was clear that he was panicked, and his hasty attack was just spraying water.

The shuttle moved quickly through the barrage with amazing maneuverability, as if it were a ball of air that could not be touched at all.

Alyssa was surprised to find that there was not even a "shield lowered" prompt on the main control screen, and the rain of bullets that came towards her did not hit the Manta at all.

In an air combat, the two sides fly towards each other and fire at each other, commonly known as head-on combat.

In this situation, what is being compared is psychological quality, to see who is more stable, more accurate, and faster.

While dodging, Li Chengxi did not miss any shooting window. Every time he shot, he either used high-explosive bombs to wash the opponent's face, or used ion beams to accurately shoot down the noob who only knew how to hold the trigger and forgot to even maneuver.

The two sides quickly crossed each other, and several orange-red fireballs lit up in the void.

The Manta turned its body in a drifting posture, and Alyssa heard Li Chengxi's somewhat disappointed voice:
"Very weak, these guys are worse than last time."

"..."

Just don't have any expectations for a small-scale pirate fleet. If you are a really capable person, who the hell would want to be a pirate?

But to say it is weak is not the case at all.

There are more than ten of them in total. Although none of them are military space fighters, their combined firepower is still considerable.

"It's not that they are too weak, it's that you are too strong."

"Tell me more, I love hearing this."

"..."

Just as he was about to complain, the red warning light came on again and the Manta suddenly pulled its nose up without warning.

Beige beams of light flew under the Manta and hit several meteorites, causing them to explode in balls of sparks.

"I almost forgot about it. What's that thing called?"

"A light cruiser, the most basic ship type that can travel long distances in the void. Judging from its specifications, it should be a piece of junk that has been used for nearly a hundred years."

For small-scale pirates like these, don't expect any particularly powerful mothership. But don't underestimate it. The light cruiser is also the type of ship that Alyssa wants most now. At least she needs it to catch up with the starship driven away by Carlos.

"Do you know where the weakness is?"

"The bridge and the rear part where it connects to the engine... Wait, what do you want to do?"

Alyssa suddenly had a very bad feeling.
