My Endless Life.

Chapter 567 Pay attention to smile
(Wow, this is so touching. Even at this time, I am still thinking about your safety...)
Xinlian, who also knew what Nikki was going to do, pretended to sob a few times, causing Li Qi to roll his eyes in his heart.

(To be honest, I don't think the escape pod will allow me to escape from here safely... Do you have any other ideas?)

Li Qi was communicating with Xinlian in his heart.

The signal in the area where the patrol ship is located is not very good, and if you want to escape through the escape pod, you must at least lock on to a clear cosmic coordinate.

If the patrol ship could do this, they would have sent people out in escape pods to seek help long ago.

The reason they didn't do this now was obviously that they were not sure where the escape pod would eventually jump to.

It makes no difference whether you sit in the escape pod or not since its coordinates cannot be determined.

If he is lucky enough to get out of this area with disordered signals, he can still find a way to seek help from the outside world. If he is unlucky enough to jump to a more dangerous place, Li Qi can only wait for death.

So if possible, Li Qi would rather help Nikki solve the crisis she is facing now rather than choosing to escape.

Xinlian and Li Qi merged, and their love was stimulated to the limit. Perhaps they could confuse one or two high-level warriors from the other side. If they could really do this, this crisis might not be impossible to overcome.

(It depends on whether the pirate leader in charge of this robbery is a man or a woman. If it's a woman, then there's still some chance. If it's a man... well... why don't you try wearing women's clothes?)
"..."

Li Qi's mouth twitched, and he ignored Xinlian who was trying to laugh at him.

Seeing that Nikki was holding his hand tightly, Li Qi pulled her back and asked her to stop. Then he asked:

"Ms. Nikki, please tell me what happened."

"Ronnie..."

"Is it the pirate ship from before that's here? If so, maybe... I can find a way."

Li Qi shook off Nikki's hand and said seriously.

(Laugh, smile at this time. Do you know how lethal your face is when you smile? If you are willing to smile at her, she will probably agree to anything you ask.)
The noise of Xinlian's passing rang out again.

The corner of Li Qi's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end he still did as Xin Lian said and forced a smile:
"Trust me, Ms. Nikki."

"..."

Although Xinlian's suggestion didn't sound very reliable, it must be said that when Li Qi really smiled at Nikki, Nikki was really stunned.
She took a deep breath, laughed bitterly and said:

"Ronnie, you are really smart... Yes, it is the pirate ship that has come. We are no match for them, so I thought, at least before that, I should send you away..."

"Who is the leader of this group of pirates?"

Li Qi interrupted Nikki and asked about the pirate leader.

Nikki sighed and said:
"It's the White Queen Sutina... a sixth-level mechanic and one of the seven kings of the Darkest Star Sea."

There is no ninth level in the Dark Star Sea.

At least there was no ninth level before Wuming of the Renaissance Society actually chose this place as his own territory.

The strongest one here is the one who commands all the gods from a foreign country. She is a person with super powers at a high level of level eight.

The second is the Sages' Association, which consists of twelve sages who together have the combat power of the eighth level.

Next is the Wumeng.

Then there are scattered small organizations, and among them, the pirate alliance composed of the seven kings as a whole is the strongest.

The Seven Kings are the seven pirate kings in the Dark Star Sea.

In order to survive, they united to form a pirate alliance, led by the seven strongest men, plundering major organizations in the Dark Star Sea, and even attacking the weak borders of the Empire, the Federation and Klund.

Because the Dark Star Sea is too chaotic, with areas of spatial disorder everywhere, the Federation and the Empire cannot completely clear out the pirates and other rebel organizations here unless they send ninth-order strongmen.

What's more, many of these organizations are backed by the three major countries. It is this chaos that breeds the existence of pirates and allows the pirate alliance headed by the Seven Kings to flourish.

Among the seven kings, ranked by strength, the three strongest ones are all at level seven.

The four people who are ranked lower also have the strength of the peak of level six.

Among them, [White Queen] Sutina is the fourth-ranked pirate king and a sixth-order peak mechanic who has already comprehended some rules.

Few fleets that she targeted could escape.

Nikki told Li Qi about the White Queen's background.

Li Qi's expression remained unchanged, and he said to Nikki, "Since she's a woman, it's easy to deal with."

After hearing what Li Qi said, Nikki didn't quite understand. She asked in confusion:
"What do you mean?"

"Make a deal with her. Offer me to her in exchange for your chance to escape. This is the only way."

"no!!"

When Nikki heard Li Qi's idea, she refused without thinking.

But just as she shouted, Li Qi shouted even louder: "Do you want to abandon your crew? Ms. Nikki, you are the captain! You should be responsible for your crew! Exchange my life for the lives of everyone on the ship, do you still hesitate for such a deal?!"

Li Qi spoke passionately.

Xinlian sighs in her heart.

(Little guy, are you sure you are a student of the School of Mechanical Engineering and not the Department of Performance? I am so touched by what you said...)
(Shut up!)

Xinlian's interruption almost made Li Qi suppress the emotions he had been building up with great difficulty, and even his acting skills had a flaw.

Fortunately, Nikki's eyes were red with emotion at the moment, and she didn't notice the slight flaws in Li Qi's acting.

She wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally, with tears streaming down her face, she hugged Li Qi tightly and refused to let go.

Li Qi let her hold him, and he had a new understanding of his own charm. They had only known each other for a few days, but Nikki was already fascinated by him. If it took a little longer... I'm afraid Nikki would rather die than hand Li Qi over.

This evil talent is truly amazing.

No matter how much you complain in your heart, the show must go on.

Li Qi gently patted Nikki's back and comforted her softly:

"It's okay. I'll be fine. I'll be fine."

Nikki said nothing, just sobbed, until she finally made a decision, agreed to Li Qi's proposal, and took Li Qi to the command room.

But when she was walking with Li Qi, every step she took was extremely slow.

It's as if I'm carrying a heavy burden on my shoulders.

……

White Queen Soutine.

Just like her title, her representative color is white.

Just like the Knights of the Restoration Society.

The only difference from the Renaissance Society is that the Renaissance Society's Radiant Knights wear white with a mixture of gold, and each member is like a guardian knight of the ancient nobility, regal, neat, and elegant.

But Soutine is just pure white.

The spaceship is white, the clothes are white, and even the pupils and hair have become white through genetic modification.

The whole person just stood there, as if glowing.

In addition to Sutina's pretty appearance, just by standing there, people would forget her identity as a pirate and would easily mistake her for a princess of some country.

It's not bad to call Sutina "Princess".

After all, she was indeed a princess of a small country, but her country had been destroyed the moment it entered the interstellar age.

Sutina was the only remaining royal family in that country. She led the remaining people of her country to escape to the Darkest Star Sea and became interstellar pirates.

Then he climbed step by step to his current position and became one of the greatest pirate kings in the Dark Star Sea.

It was an untold amount of hardship that had to be endured, and Sutina had also gotten used to this daily life of plundering.

In the midst of day-to-day plundering, she even forgot the idea of ​​restoring her country and just wanted to be a pirate.

Of course, even as a pirate, Sutina also has certain goals. For example, her current goal is to break through the seventh level as soon as possible and become one of the few seventh-level powerhouses in the Dark Star Sea.

In the darkest starry sea where strength is respected, only the seventh level can truly stand above everyone else and become the well-deserved king!

In order to advance to the seventh level, in addition to understanding the rules, countless resources are also needed.

Sutina's talent is not particularly good, so she needs more resources to support her progress towards the seventh level.

For pirates, the only way to obtain more resources is to rob more people.

The Darkest Starry Sea is not particularly prosperous, and therefore every spaceship out there is extremely precious.

For example, the detachment ship of a foreign patrol army that escaped before us.

The foreign country is one of the few forces that have established a country in the dark starry sea. They have three artificial star systems under their control, with a total of eighteen life planets.

The configuration of its army is also one of the best among all forces. More importantly, the foreign country is a country dominated by "superpowers". They have very few mechanics and mecha divisions. This means that every star-class mothership abroad will be equipped with at least a thousand operators.

These operators are also considered resources in the Dark Star Sea. Their abilities, their bodies, and even their flesh and blood can be transformed into resources to enrich Sutina's power.

Even if what is in front of you now is not a stellar-class battleship, but just a planetary-class battleship, it is still a huge fortune!

That's why Sutina chased the patrol ship relentlessly after it escaped.

There was no way she would give up such a huge fortune.

unless……

There was something more worthy of her attention.

Sutina sat on the throne of the warship, staring at the huge ship drifting in front of her, waiting for her subordinates to destroy the defense system on the opponent's warship so that her people could smoothly enter and plunder.

But at this moment, her subordinates suddenly reported to her:

"Your Majesty, the foreign patrol has requested communication. They intend to exchange their lives for something else."

"Something else?"

Sutina's glowing white face showed a disdainful sneer: "They are all at the end of their rope, what else can they exchange with us?"

"Your Majesty, they said... you will know if you communicate with them."

Sutina's subordinate, who is also the administrator of the entire "White Queen Battleship", reported to Sutina.

Sutina didn't want to bother with the group of prisoners who were about to fall into her hands, but she was bored anyway, so she just waved her hand and said:
"Please connect. I want to see what other cards they have."

Soutine's plan was that no matter what the other party asked, she would pretend to agree first, and then tear up the agreement after getting on board.

Anyway, they are pirates and don't have to worry about all these rules and regulations.

But when Sutina really opened the communication and saw the picture on the other end of the line, she forgot her thoughts for a moment.

In his eyes, there was only the reflection of the silver-haired boy on the other end of the line.
