Chapter 461: Main Control Room! Awaken the Main Control Intelligence!

The entire No. 3 Ruins spaceship had twelve entrances.

These entrances were about three or four meters above the bottom of the deep pit, all tightly shut.

When Xu Jingming reached the bottom of the deep pit, another half hour or more passed before the twelve entrances swung open with a whoosh and a boom!

But every entrance was covered by a layer of protective netting that emanated terrifying energy fluctuations.

Without a pass, even a seventh-rank Grandmaster trying to force his way through this energy barrier would die on the spot!

"Ruins No. 3 is open! Everyone get ready to go in and take a look."

Vice Captain Ang's voice rang out, and immediately after, he leapt up.

He landed on the platform of the entrance corridor and placed his pass against the sensor at the door.

"Welcome, Passenger No. 1103, aboard..."

Accompanied by the prompt of the ancient civilization, the energy barrier at the entrance vanished.

Vice Captain Ang was thus able to enter smoothly.

The next people did the same, swiping their passes at the door.

When it was Xu Jingming's turn, he placed the administrator pass on the sensor. The voice first stuttered briefly, then continued:

"Welcome, Passenger No. 003, aboard..."

"Passenger No. 003? Does a pass with a lower serial number come with administrator privileges?"

This sentence in the ancient civilization's language wasn't too complicated; Xu Jingming understood it at once.

But he didn't think too much about it and went straight in.

Whoosh—

Xu Jingming's vision first went dark, and by the time he came back to his senses, he was already inside Ruins No. 3.

It seemed to be a wide corridor, with bright lights shining overhead.

The group led by Vice Captain Ang was waiting in the distance.

"Brother Xu, do you want to move around on your own, or come with us?"

At this moment, Vice Captain Ang looked over and asked very warmly.

"I'll go on my own — that way I can look around more carefully." Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

The remaining legacy of Lei Shen lay within Ruins No. 3, in the main control room that could only be opened with the administrator pass.

This was what Yiwa had told him back in Ruins No. 9's space, so naturally he couldn't go along with these people.

"Fine, Ruins No. 3 isn't dangerous anyway. Just go wherever you like."

Vice Captain Ang nodded, not stopping him.

Ruins No. 3 itself was indeed not dangerous; the unstable factor was those ability users from different countries.

Therefore, even the ability users who came in to visit moved in groups, and lone wolves like Xu Jingming were almost never seen.

But Xu Jingming had nothing to do with him, and even Chairman Leng Yuexi had left him here alone.

That showed the fellow wasn't anyone important, so he couldn't be bothered to warn him.

"This young man from Daxia isn't coming with us."

"What a pity — he's quite handsome."

"Isn't he just."

"..."

Watching Xu Jingming turn and leave, several young white female ability users in Vice Captain Ang's group immediately showed looks of disappointment.

Xu Jingming's resolute, rugged features and tall, strong build—

along with the special sacred aura that came with his SS-rank Doushen Shenlei—held an undeniably tremendous attraction for these girls.

But over the past few days he had left early and returned late, so they hadn't had any chance to get to know him.

They had thought they'd be able to move together this time, but unexpectedly that had backfired.

"He's just a pretty boy kept by a seventh-rank Grandmaster — what's there to feel sorry about?"

At the girls' disappointment, quite a few young male companions who had already learned the truth from Vice Captain Ang sneered openly.

Meanwhile,

Having left the group, Xu Jingming's whole body was wrapped in golden Lei Ting.

Like a lithe cheetah, he raced swiftly through Ruins No. 3.

Just as Leng Yuexi had said, every room he passed along the way was empty — clearly long since cleared out.

"The ship has seven levels. The main control room is in the room at the very top.

I'm on the third level right now. From here it'll take a while to get there..."

To avoid being seen entering the main control room, Xu Jingming sprinted at nearly top speed all the way to the topmost level of the ship!

"I'm here!"

The Lei Ting around his body receded. Xu Jingming stopped, swept his gaze around, and took in the entire surroundings at a glance.

It was a large hall, with a reception desk on the right.

The desk surface was empty — whatever had been on it had clearly been swept clean.

On the left was a room with its door tightly shut, and beside the door a pass sensor flashing with light.

"This is the ship's main control room!" Xu Jingming's gaze sharpened slightly.

Under the passive sensing of his Heart Net, the inside of the main control room was pitch black — clearly impossible to sense.

This was the ship's shielding method; he had run into several similar rooms along the way.

Even space-type abilities couldn't break into such rooms.

In fact,

Some powerful ability users could similarly shield themselves from the Heart Net's perception, which was akin to x-ray vision.

For example, a few days ago with Leng Yuexi, when she was bathing, Xu Jingming had no way of sensing her.

Of course, this wasn't him deliberately trying to peek; rather, it was something his passive perception automatically detected...

"SSS-grade Spirit Refining Art, here I come!"

A hint of anticipation flickered in Xu Jingming's eyes. He took out his pass and lightly swiped it at the sensor by the door.

"Beep beep beep! Administrator privileges detected. Main control room opening..."

In just a few seconds, the entire great door swung open with a rumble to both sides!

Boom!

A breath of ancient air, sealed away for thousands of years, swept toward him. Xu Jingming didn't hesitate and stepped inside.

Whoosh—

The opened door closed once again; viewed from the outside, there was no way to tell anything was amiss.

"Self-check program initiated. Beginning anti-gravity engine inspection..."

"Inspection failed. Anti-gravity engine is damaged. Beginning firepower system inspection..."

"Inspection failed. Firepower system cannot activate. Beginning energy system inspection..."

"..."

The moment Xu Jingming entered the main control room, a string of mechanical prompts sounded.

Unfortunately, he couldn't understand a word.

At this moment, he was carefully observing the entire main control room.

The main control room was roughly over four hundred square meters in area, brightly lit.

Right in the very center of the room was a control console densely packed with operation buttons!

And on this control console were two terrifying claw marks, nearly splitting the entire console in two!

"Energy system inspection successful. Remaining energy at 4%. Main control AI awakening..."

Hum—

At this moment, accompanied by a soft sound, beams of virtual light suddenly projected down from the ceiling.

These beams of light converged together, gradually coalescing into the figure of a tall woman.

This woman wore a pale-black skintight battle suit, and had a head of green long hair that fell down to her perky buttocks.

Immediately after, a pair of beautiful eyes looked over. Her red lips parted slightly, and a melodious, pleasant voice rang out:

"Administrator privileges No. 003 detected. The Hope's main control AI has been activated. Captain Eva is delighted to serve you."
