Chapter 134

The starry sky, which was bustling just ten minutes ago.

Now only had a large area of wreckage and two lonely starships left.

After Xu Zi'an finished scavenging everything.

He and Sister Haitang initiated a pulse jump.

Heading to the nearest space relay station.

Not to evolve.

But to sell these things and incidentally rest for a day.

Monitoring and tracking for these days.

Was truly quite exhausting.

……

Half a month later.

In an uninhabited starry sky.

Along with the last mechanical scout ship, which Xu Zi'an blew up with just one main gun shell, destroying its energy shield, cockpit glass, and the captain inside.

This pirate hunting trip was completely over.

However, it was a pity.

The ones Xu Zi'an destroyed now.

Were not the [*Skull War God*] pirate group.

They were a small pirate group with at most one biological frigate.

The *Skull War God* pirate group, having searched for so long.

He hadn't even seen a hair of them.

This was a very common situation in hunting interstellar pirates.

The vast majority returned empty-handed year after year.

If interstellar pirates were really that easy to kill...

They wouldn't be so rampant for countless years.

As for the pirate group Xu Zi'an destroyed now.

It was a coincidence.

On the way back to the scheduled space relay station.

He happened to encounter a distress signal nearby.

Xu Zi'an and Sister Haitang went immediately.

As soon as the *Sea Sea Siren* appeared, it almost scared the souls out of this pirate group.

They fled in all directions immediately.

But clearly, they couldn't escape the pursuit, and were eventually annihilated by Xu Zi'an one by one.

Even this last mechanical scout ship was solved by Xu Zi'an with one shot.

Seeing Xu Zi'an use a scout ship to destroy an entire small pirate group like a hot knife through butter.

And the two ships in front of him, which didn't know which remote area they had run out from—

A mechanical scout ship, a manned transport ship, and the people on the transport ship, were already dumbfounded.

Manned transport ship.

Was just like a 21st-century passenger bus.

And those who took this kind of passenger bus were basically ordinary people.

And basically the poor among ordinary people.

Maybe this term isn't so pleasant, but that's the fact.

And only one mechanical scout ship for escort...

Theoretically, their kind of fleet is actually the safest when sailing in the universe.

Because it's very normal, they are too poor!

Even if you kill them, not only are there no evolution points, but it also increases the probability of being discovered.

And you can't make much money.

Do you expect to get much oil and water from a mechanical scout ship and a manned ship?

Basically, no pirate group would attack them.

It just so happened that their luck was too bad, encountering this pirate group that was desperate for food.

The pirate group seemed to have even worse luck...

Xu Zi'an and Sister Haitang happened to jump here.

And happened to be able to easily kill them...

Listening to the thousand thanks in the communicator, Xu Zi'an dismantled the components of these pirate starships.

Although he didn't find the *Skull War God* pirate group.

But now it seems...

It seems not bad!

At least he ran for half a month and didn't come back empty-handed!

That was enough.

The next thing was simple.

Xu Zi'an planned not to rush back.

First stay at the next space relay station.

Evolve the *Bright* to Tier 8 before going back!

When he returned to the academy...

With the amount of bio-energy he was increasing every day now.

It was just about time to reach the critical point of evolving to Tier 9.

Which meant.

In a month.

He would evolve the *Bright*.

Into a Tier 9 scout ship!

Half a month later, Tier 10!

Another half month later...

Straight to frigate!

This was Xu Zi'an’s plan for the next two months.

Frigate...

Finally arriving.

He smiled happily.

And amidst the thousand thanks of those people.

Xu Zi'an, who had finished scavenging.

Together with Sister Haitang, jumped toward the nearest space relay station.

At a space relay station, in a single-person starship factory.

Xu Zi'an had been evolving for a full seven days.

Now the *Bright*’s evolution basically took seven days.

The higher the level.

The slower the evolution speed.

However.

As the last piece of metal was swallowed by the *Bright*’s keel.

This evolution was declared complete.

Tier 8.

At the same time!

The *Bright* also immediately gave Xu Zi'an enough feedback.

The bio-energy that had been stagnant for a month without any increase finally broke through the shackles.

It could continue to increase bio-energy.

Xu Zi'an directly spent wealth points to convert.

This conversion.

Even if he converted 10 points at once, Xu Zi'an only felt a slight discomfort.

Which meant.

These days of eating so many heavenly treasures were not in vain.

Actually, heavenly treasures tempered the body, but it was definitely not just for the purpose of being able to convert more bio-energy.

In the last star war simulation.

Xu Zi'an’s *Bright* was blown up by a primary assault ship of the Alien race.

But!!!

He himself survived tenaciously.

If this had been his previous physical fitness, he would have died with the *Bright* long ago.

This is the difference!

And in the last combat simulation.

After his body was strengthened several times.

Combined with the various combat techniques learned at school.

For the first time, he killed a Grade 9 Insect-Human warrior with one slash!!!

One slash!

Instant kill!!!

These were all huge improvements.

It was just that this was an era where starships were the supreme force.

No matter how powerful personal combat power was...

There really wasn't much room to display it.

"We've been out for a month."

Sister Haitang walked over with a cat-like gait and asked in her unique magnetic voice: "Where are we going next?"

"Back to the academy, or use the second escort opportunity to continue your hunting?"

Xu Zi'an shook his head and said: "No."

"Coming out this time, I gained enough evolution points, no need to waste time."

"Now it's most important for me to evolve the *Bright* to frigate level as soon as possible."

"And when I reach frigate..."

"At least in the universe, I won't be cannon fodder... at least not the lowest level of cannon fodder anymore."

Xu Zi'an’s expression was helpless.

Because he discovered.

The solar system was indeed too small, severely confining his vision.

A frigate captain is actually not weak in the solar system.

However...

After arriving at a prosperous star system like the Shenzhou star system, he realized...

A frigate.

Is just slightly higher-level cannon fodder!

But regardless.

It was at least several times stronger than the current scout ship!

Now he could fight a low-level assault ship with weak combat power to a standstill.

He believed that when the *Bright* evolved to a frigate.

Especially after several important components evolved to Pink Perfect quality.

He was confident.

Not to say he could blow up all assault ships.

That would be too arrogant.

But!

At least in front of an assault ship, Xu Zi'an had 10,000% confidence in saving his life!!!

But now at the scout ship level...

He really didn't have enough confidence.

Sister Haitang naturally had no objections and nodded to indicate that everything was up to Xu Zi'an.

Then looking at Xu Zi'an, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually swallowed it back.

It's just that looking at Xu Zi'an with those eyes...

It was somewhat unkind.

Xu Zi'an was inexplicably confused.

Actually, Sister Haitang’s unkind look had been there all these days.

Xu Zi'an would ask what was wrong at first, but Sister Haitang never said.

Later, because he had to evolve the *Bright*, he simply didn't ask.

Now the *Bright* had finished evolving...

He said speechlessly: "No, can't we just say what's on our mind?"

"Your expression... I don't think I offended you anywhere!"

Seeing that Xu Zi'an was truly confused.

Sister Haitang gritted her teeth and said coldly: "You, you don't keep your word."

"You promised to treat me to a meal, and what happened?"

"It's been a month, right?"

"Oh, when you asked me to be your escort, you were so polite."

"Talking about treating me to a meal or something."

"Now I've taken the mission, the mission is over, where's the meal you promised? Huh?"

"Last time on Harbor Star, I was the one who paid the bill in the end!!!"

Sister Haitang’s beautiful eyes flashed with anger.

Xu Zi'an’s expression stiffened.

He lowered his head slightly, coughed, and said guiltily: "Nonsense..."

"Didn't I treat you to a meal yesterday..."

It would have been better not to say it; as soon as he did, Sister Haitang clenched her fists: "Dinosaur meat buns?"

Xu Zi'an apologized quickly: "Yes, yes, this is indeed my fault."

"But you have to believe that my heart for you at that time was definitely sincere..."

He paused here and quickly changed his words: "Ah no, I mean, the heart to treat you to a meal at that time was sincere!"

"Let's go, let's go, to apologize, eat as much as you want today!"

"Eat whatever you want!"

Sister Haitang glared at him.

This person, how can he speak without using his brain!

However, her anger subsided slightly, and she nodded coldly: "Okay."

"I'll count it as you keeping your word."

After speaking, she walked out with a cat-like gait.

Xu Zi'an followed quickly.

This matter.

It was indeed his fault.
