Inside the cabin, Qin Yuan watched the increasingly close star on the star map, marked 'Qiulong Star,' and his heart was filled with anticipation.
The pitch-black universe is not always eternally silent.
The Farstar maintained a stable, not particularly fast, warp speed, like a swimming fish, traversing through space.
Inside the bridge, Qin Yuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his consciousness immersed in the operation of the "Star Vortex Secret Technique," accelerating his progress to the fourth level of the planetary realm.
A surge of immense power coursed through his body, and he was intoxicated by this tangible feeling of becoming stronger.
The dual attributes of 【Exceptional Talent (Green)】+【Energy Digestion (Green)】act as a huge, invisible cultivation accelerator, making his energy absorption and conversion efficiency far exceed that of ordinary people. Even during the voyage, his cultivation never stopped for a moment.
However, this tranquil state of cultivation was abruptly shattered by the urgent alarm from the spaceship's AI.
"Warning! Abnormal spatial disturbance detected ahead! Warp drive is interfered with. Forced exit countdown: 3, 2, 1!"
'Is someone watching me?'
Amidst the warnings from the Farstar, Qin Yuan pondered to himself.
......
Time moves forward.
On the way to the Qiulong Star region, a group of interstellar bandits were drinking and eating heartily on a Class B spaceship.
"drink!"
"I'll do it, eldest brother, second brother."
"Alright, Third Brother has a generous heart."
Glug glug~
The sound of liquid entering the stomach echoed throughout the Class B spaceship.
"Big brother, as you requested, I have upgraded our spaceship's detection capabilities. Even a Class C spaceship in stealth mode may not be able to evade our detection."
"only..."
"What is it, Third Brother? Stop beating around the bush. Spit it out! Stop dawdling."
When the leader of the interstellar bandits saw that the third brother was fidgeting and hesitant to speak, he immediately drank a large bowl of wine and said with dissatisfaction.
"Are we really planning to take down a C-class spaceship? With our capabilities..."
The third bandit said worriedly.
They were only at the planetary level, and this Class B spaceship was a luxury item bought with stolen money. Those who could afford a Class C spaceship all came from powerful forces. Even if it wasn't due to strength, they most likely had a cosmic-level background or powerful backer.
If the eldest brother is planning to take down a C-class spaceship, the third brother thinks he should find a new employer as soon as possible to avoid offending a powerful figure and getting killed.
Upon hearing the third brother's words, the second bandit stopped drinking and pricked up his ears, ready to hear the eldest brother's explanation.
"Second brother, third brother, I, Black Skull, with my seventh-level planetary strength, can make a living near the Dragon Star and even thrive. What do you think I am?
Seemingly sensing the doubts in the hearts of the second and third brothers, the bandit leader, Black Skull, laughed, looking as if he had a big secret to share.
"Could it be that you have some kind of powerful backing, brother?"
The third brother thought of many answers and finally felt that this one was the most reasonable.
"No!"
"My line of work, Black Skull, is all about my unparalleled eyesight. I know who I can mess with and kill, and who I can't mess with."
Seeing that the third brother was looking at him with longing eyes, as if he were asking for an answer, Black Skull shook his head.
"Brother, please explain in detail."
Upon hearing this, the second bandit leader promptly filled Black Skull's glass with wine.
"For example, those scions of powerful families or genetically engineered martial artists with strong personal backgrounds will openly display themselves."
"As for those rogue martial artists, or even new martial artists from small families, because of their low strength and background, they will hide their actions and speak cautiously, for fear that someone will be watching them."
"This is the essential difference that comes from confidence."
"Often, these cautious guys are hiding some valuable treasures, so I usually keep a close eye on them."
The bandit leader, acting like an experienced veteran, was instructing his two underlings.
"Brother's insight is brilliant."
Me too.
drip~
Just as the second and third brothers were flattering Black Skull, their spaceship spotted a Class C spaceship that was concealing itself and heading towards the area where Qiulong Star was located.
According to Black Skull's theory, a truly powerful and confident genetically engineered martial artist would never hide like this.
So, a big client has arrived!
A C-class spaceship, how many Black Dragon Coins would that cost!
"Second brother, third brother, it's time to get to work!"
"Hehehe, boss, after this job, I'm going to go to Qiulong Star and pick up ten young models!"
"Hey, third brother, is that all you've got?"
......
Chapter 111 Void Encounter (4K)
hum~
The spaceship jolted violently, and the distorted light around it instantly returned to normal, as it was forcibly squeezed back into regular space from warp drive.
Outside the window, the black curtain of stars still adorns the view.
But not far away, on the edge of the asteroid belt, three small, rugged, and aggressively designed spaceships painted with menacing skull symbols were approaching in a triangular formation, their dark cannons already glowing with the light of charging.
"Could a spaceship with this design be a space pirate?"
A cold glint flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes, and he instantly stood up, his sharp gaze, like that of a cheetah, sweeping across the detection screen.
The intelligent data on the Farstar is updated rapidly:
"Target identification in progress... suspected to be a fast raider belonging to space pirates. Ship class: one modified B1-class spaceship and two A9-class ships."
"Threat level to the Farstar main body: medium. Three individuals with high-energy reactions were detected. The level of cosmic energy fluctuations is approximately planetary level six to seven."
The analysis of intelligent systems is cold and objective.
"They really are space pirates."
Qin Yuan was startled, but relieved when he heard that it was only at the seventh level of the planetary stage.
A mere seventh-tier planetary level being dares to rob people? Aren't they afraid of kicking a hornet's nest?
Space pirates typically operate on remote shipping lanes, robbing lone merchant ships or 'newbies' who are new to space. They are ruthless and leave no survivors.
Unexpectedly, I encountered the most common 'welcome ceremony' in the universe so soon.
"Communication access request - public channel".
Smart suggestions.
Qin Yuan hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
A brash and rude voice immediately rang out in the cockpit, in universal language, with a deliberately mockingly cruel tone:
"Listen up, you ship in front! We are the Black Skull Company! Immediately shut down your engines, disable your weapon systems, and open the docking hatch! Hand over all your energy, supplies, and valuables."
"We only rob money, we don't kill. If you resist? See my cannon? I'll blast you into cosmic dust in an instant!"
Just as the bandit calling himself Black Skull was speaking over the loudspeaker, Qin Yuan's [Combat Prediction (Green)] talent had already silently activated.
His mental power, like an invisible tentacle, penetrated the spaceship's barrier and precisely captured the energy flow of the three planetary-level powerhouses on the three pirate ships opposite.
The three of them possessed a violent and chaotic genetic force, filled with a murderous aura, but its quality was far inferior to the pure force he had refined through the "Star Vortex Secret Technique" and Starshine Grass.
The trajectory of energy flow, and even the subtle, unconscious fluctuations in their internal force when they spoke through communicators, were clearly reflected in Qin Yuan's 'combat perception'.
"One is at the peak of the seventh rank of planetary level, and the other two are at the sixth rank of planetary level. They are not much of a threat. Moreover, their physical force is not refined enough. It seems that they were forcibly improved through drugs or plunder, which is consistent with the identity of interstellar bandits."
Qin Yuan made a decision in an instant.
Although the three opponents were of a higher cultivation level than him and outnumbered him, he did not take them seriously.
Having just arrived in the starry sky, and with battles looming, it's better to avoid trouble. If we fight the younger ones and the older ones come along, it will be very troublesome.
Just as Qin Yuan was making up his mind, the [Battle Prediction (Green)] functioned again. At this moment, Qin Yuan seemed to have the ability to 'read minds' and could vaguely sense the opponent's next intention.
The most powerful pirate leader who shouted the order appeared arrogant, but in reality, his Force was quietly gathering, as if he was preparing to rush onto the ship as soon as he received a response.
The other two were in different positions. One channeled his Force into his arms, preparing to control the ship's cannons for a deterrent attack, while the other kept his aura contained, seemingly preparing for some kind of sinister sneak attack.
"Want to play boarding battles? Perfect, that's what I was thinking too."
A cold smile curled at the corner of Qin Yuan's lips.
The bandits coveted his C1-class spaceship, and coincidentally, he also coveted the wealth of the interstellar bandits.
Being passively attacked from inside the spaceship is not his style; taking the initiative and eliminating the enemy's leader is the key to breaking the deadlock.
He responded to the communicator with only two chilling words:
"SB".
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yuan made his move!
He did not choose to control his spaceship to engage in a gun battle with the enemy, as the firepower system of the Far Star spaceship was not its strong point, except for its relatively sturdy fuselage.
Qin Yuan's body transformed into a silver streak of light, enveloped in genetic force, and he charged directly toward the spaceship's emergency exit.
The bandits were afraid Qin Yuan would escape, and Qin Yuan was also afraid the bandits would escape.
"Fire! A mere fourth-tier planetary-level brat dares to rebel? Bring him out here!"
The pirate leader roared.
call out!call out!call out!
The energy cannons on the three pirate ships fired instantly, and several crimson energy beams tore through the vacuum, shooting towards the 'Far Star'.
