So you’re saying everyone had to wait until some reckless idiot dismantled a ship piece by piece first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo asked, unable to close his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kejen shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Reckless? At times like this, you should at least call it bravery. They’re the ones taking the risk for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no matter how you look at it, are there really that many idiots? You’re saying that every time you stole a ship, you waited for someone else to tear it open first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The universe is vast. There are plenty of brave fools out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Kejen rose as if there was no more time to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—We need to move. If we delay, the competition will only increase!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started running toward the direction where the loud noise had come from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap-tap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no choice, Yeongwoo and the rest of the group followed Kejen, and before long, they saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraaang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A navy-blue ship, with chunks of metal plating falling off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Oh. What’s this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kejen, who spotted the ship first, let out a surprised sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Yeongwoo had to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it? Why are you so surprised?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The ship is navy blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…So what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—That means it has a high Katangdal content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Yeongwoo recall that Katangdal ingots were a deep blue color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer the ship’s outer hull was to deep navy, the higher the Katangdal content—and the more expensive the vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So all white ships are low-grade junk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Not necessarily. White is often just paint, and many ships add separate outer plating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was certain: ships tinted navy or deep blue were, nine times out of ten, extremely valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What came to Yeongwoo’s mind next was none other than Satral’s ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t the vessel that Bioto, head of the Satral family, arrived in also navy blue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘So they really were a major family from our galaxy… it wasn’t a lie.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You only notice once you know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saying fit perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Come on, hurry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kejen slowed his pace slightly and shoved Yeongwoo’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why am I going first? Aren’t you the guide?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—You’re the one who has to use force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where Kejen pointed, black-skinned, one-eyed goblins were prying open the ship’s hull and crawling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, they’d have to settle things with those guys before boarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do people kill each other over whether to share a ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Usually fights break out after leaving the Black Zone. Before boarding, it’s rare—though scuffles aren’t uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we should resolve this with words if possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—If things get too noisy, the Black Zone authorities intervene directly. The hangars are considered semi-secure zones, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For a secure zone, it looks pretty open about stealing ships.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tilting his head, Yeongwoo did as Kejen said and sprinted toward the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Yeongwoo’s presence, the goblins poked their heads out from inside the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What the hell? Already more guests?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Hey! This one’s full. Go find another—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could even finish frowning, Yeongwoo’s foot flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puuung!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No room? Then you get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What? You bastard…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins charged Yeongwoo after the sudden kick, but it was pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Yeongwoo was someone who had wrestled with planets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puh-buh-buk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With lightning-fast punches, Yeongwoo subdued three goblins in an instant, then pointed outside without even asking their opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out. I’ll spare your lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further words, he kicked them out of the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baaang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the goblins tumble out, Jeonggu, who had been running over, gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what… is this okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as we didn’t kill them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the boarding chaos was only beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, a whole mob of villains was running toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn… how many are there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—It’s always like this. But we were faster. If we hurry and seal the hull, we’re fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Kejen had already crawled inside the ship, urgently looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—A welding tool. Those guys should’ve had one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A welding tool? You need that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What, are you planning to fly with the hull torn open?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Kejen’s gesture toward the gaping hull plates, Yeongwoo immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked down at the goblins still groaning on the ground beneath the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, one-eyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the welding tool? Tell me, and I’ll let you ride.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their single eyes widened, but unfortunately, they didn’t have it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—W-we didn’t bring one. Don’t you have it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re all the same trash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they’d planned to use someone else’s welding tool too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while that was happening, the other groups finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Hey! Move aside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—We’re all in the same boat—let’s keep this easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator - Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader - Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From one-eyed to four-eyed, every species in the universe seemed to be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo drew Bastard and stood in the gap of the hull, surveying the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welding tool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—…Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What did you say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only those with a welding tool get on. Sorry, but the rest should find another ship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, shouts erupted from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What kind of nonsense is that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—This is the only open ship around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Isn’t sharing the ride the rule? You gonna break the ‘rules’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of bullshit says sharing is a rule? In the Black Zone, the number one principle is ‘strength,’ isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo pointed Bastard at the villains outside the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re confident, come in. By your beloved rules, I won’t kill anyone before the ship departs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant he’d do anything short of killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—T-this lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with his ominous presence, no one dared rush in, only hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kejen waved both arms, trying to calm things down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Hey, don’t worry so much. This guy’s getting off soon. Just get on, and you’ll reach your destination safely. I guarantee it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also for Kejen’s own safety, since he’d be the one piloting the ship after Yeongwoo disembarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kejen grabbed the split hull plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—If we have a welding tool, we can leave immediately. Anyone really got one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his desperate question, a group finally raised their hands among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—We have one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were orcs wearing goggles, rifles slung over their shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘What the hell… space orcs?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo stared, mouth slightly open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the orcs he’d met before used cold steel weapons, so seeing high-tech-armed orcs felt bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it okay to let those guys on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo whispered to Kejen, but Kejen tilted his head instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Why not? Is there a problem…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo looked at an orc casually pulling out an electronic cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…No. I guess that’s just my prejudice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lack of knowledge about the universe was the real issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Yeongwoo decided to be bolder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Orcs, bring the welding tool and get on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he gestured them over, the black one-eyed goblins raised their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—We didn’t have a welding tool, but we were the ones who opened the ship. Don’t we have the right to ride?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, they had a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Risking their lives to pry open the hull first was arguably more impressive than just having a welding tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fair enough. Pioneer bonus granted. You’re in too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo stepped aside, the orcs and goblins hurried aboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kejen quickly took the welding tool from the orcs and began sealing the hull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Sorry, friends! Better luck next time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trd-deuk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the hatch sealed, Kejen reversed the welding tool and began emergency welding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hissss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, the back end was a welder too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Quit saying useless things and get to the cockpit. Hit the output button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does the output button look like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Yeongwoo’s clueless question, Amana lightly tapped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—I’ll find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship they’d seized was about 20 meters long, so finding the cockpit was easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would this count as a light-medium ship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Closer to small. You really know nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, you can become a planetary ship owner with this. Space is easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the cockpit, Amana pressed a red button among the complex controls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beeeeep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lights flickered on throughout the ship, and soon the engine’s vibration could be felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it preheating?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Yes. But since it’s small, it won’t take long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Kejen entered the cockpit with the goblins and high-tech orcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Now all that’s left is to set the route. First destination… ‘that place,’ right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kejen looked at Yeongwoo, who nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, but… do you all have different destinations? Do we need to drop everyone off before the ship’s empty?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that question, Kejen replied with a slightly darkened expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—That’s how it works…? But why? Whether the ship’s empty or not doesn’t concern you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo immediately raised Bastard to Kejen’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I’ve had a change of heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—…What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said this ship has a high Katangdal content, right? I just happened to need a ship. Perfect timing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—What? You… are you planning to rob us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was this ship yours to begin with? I’m just taking it over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked the tip of Bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So quit whining and input the only route. Destination: Earth Ship. Let’s all go witness the wonders of space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—You crazy bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crazy?
