Chapter 46: Picking a Fight with Pirates Right After Leaving

Alright, now Lin Lei found himself alone again. Oh, no, not exactly. There was still Meng on the Aiwei.

Lin Lei let out a sigh. In the end, it was only this little guy who followed him.

He somewhat understood Fuweili’s thoughts. She yearned for a peaceful life, not the thrilling adventures day and night. Lin Lei could not provide these things now, and perhaps could never provide them in his entire life.

Thinking back to the scene at that time, Lin Lei felt a dull ache in his heart. Fuweili was the woman he deeply loved. The bond of more than a year, supporting each other through thick and thin, was not something he could simply forget.

Forget it, put these aside for now, don’t think about it anymore. The current priority was figuring out where to go next.

This Galaxy Flight was not safe for him to stay in. Lin Lei was now a complete illegal resident, with no account on the Galaxy Public Information Network.

“System, can you get me a legal account on the Information Network? I need to master the knowledge that is all on there. This matter is crucial.” The System was all- power ful; it should be able to satisfy this small request, right?

“The Host’s request is difficult to fulfill. Information Network accounts are closely linked to Galaxy citizenship. Moreover, obtaining a legal account must go through the Galaxy Information Center, which is a super-intelligence. With the energy the Host’s current body can provide, the System cannot bypass the super-intelligence’s inspection.”

“Then how can you raise my permissions so high?” Lin Lei was puzzled.

“Modifying account permissions only involves the information processing terminals distributed across various sectors of the Galaxy. The information processing capabilities of the two are not on the same order of magnitude.”

Lin Lei didn’t understand the technical details, so he asked the most direct question: “Then how should I connect to the Information Network in the future?”

“The suggestion is to continue impersonating another individual’s account, for example, the individual who previously mated with the Host. The System can perfectly simulate that individual’s brainwave characteristics.”

“Oh, my God! How is that possible? System, can’t you think of another way?” Lin Lei felt that impersonating someone else’s account, especially Fuweili’s, and pretending to be a woman, made him feel terrible.

“Please wait, Host. The System is analyzing other feasible solutions…”

Then… there was silence. The System didn’t respond for a long time. This was the first time this had happened.

Lin Lei felt deceived. He gritted his teeth in frustration, but this System lived inside his head. If he wanted revenge, the only path was to destroy it along with himself.

Just as Lin Lei was going crazy, the Galaxy Flight shook. Immediately, various alarms sounded one after another. In an instant, the entire flight descended into chaos.

Suddenly, all the alarm sounds stopped. Then, a very arrogant voice came through the spaceship’s speakers.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have some unfortunate news to announce. Flight YC0056 has been hijacked by us.”

The voice paused for a moment, then spoke again: “Captain, do not make futile resistance. Although the Galaxy Flight’s Protective Force Field is powerful, we have synchronized the flight’s force field generators. Your defenses are useless. Don’t believe it? Then watch this brilliant firework.”

The flight trembled again, indicating that the other side had attacked once more.

“Who are you? What do you want?” A deep voice sounded, likely the captain of the flight.

“It doesn’t matter who we are. What matters is that we need your ship’s supplies. Energy, food, water, air, etc., we want it all, and we want all of it!”

“You cannot take everything. According to the Laws of the Star Alliance, you must leave enough supplies for our survival, especially air and water!” Hmm, talking about Laws to bandits… was the deterrence of the Star Alliance not strong enough?

Indeed, a burst of manic laughter came from the speaker: “Captain, we dare to do this because we are fully prepared. Rest assured, even if the Star Alliance investigates afterwards, they will find no trace. Of course, you must thank this nearby violent supernova!”

“All personnel on the flight listen up. You are now our hostages. You may demand a ransom. Please discuss the specific details privately. We will talk properly once we board the flight.”

Then, the voice stopped.

Throughout the entire process, the Galaxy Flight had been in a passive state. All its information was under the other party’s control. Undoubtedly, there were traitors on the flight, and quite a few.

Lin Lei was not worried about his own safety. He could only pray that Fuweili had already left the flight with her uncle. At least, from the time he left until now, an hour had passed.

Lin Lei found a guest room and hid inside. The flight was large, spanning twenty kilometers long. Before the space pirates searched this far, he had enough time to check on Fuweili’s situation.

But as soon as he entered the room, he realized he had chosen the wrong room. On the large bed, two pale, fleshy bodies were passionately entangled. Obviously, this couple had not noticed the chaos outside at all; they were immersed in a world of supreme pleasure, unaware even of Lin Lei’s entry.

Damn it! Lin Lei cursed silently. What a crazy couple! But since he was already inside, he had no intention of leaving.

Lin Lei moved with ghost-like speed, knocking out the two people copulating on the bed. He then pulled the bedsheet nearby to cover the intimately embracing couple and hurriedly opened the information terminal in the room.

He intended to check the flight’s spaceship entry and exit records to confirm if Fuweili had left safely. If she had not left yet, there was nothing else to say; he would risk his life to go and save her!

“System, simulate my brainwave characteristics, enter the flight network, and raise my permissions on the flight network to the highest level.”

“Understood.”

In an instant, Lin Lei became the master of this Galaxy Flight, or at least on the network.

The spaceship entry and exit records were quickly retrieved. The records showed that one and a half hours ago, an Apocalypse Class E spaceship had entered the flight. The owner of the spaceship was Richard Moles. He shared the same surname as Fuweili; he must be Fuweili’s uncle.

Lin Lei continued to read further and was greatly relieved. Fortunately, this Class E spaceship had left the Galaxy Flight forty minutes ago.

Given the high speed and maneuverability of the Class E spaceship, these space pirates outside certainly could not catch up.

Lin Lei felt a mix of relief and loss. In the end, Fuweili had still left him. Sigh…

It’s just a woman. Why make myself so sentimental and melancholy? Forget her, firmly forget her! Lin Lei pinched himself hard and began to seriously look at the internal spatial structure diagram of the Galaxy Flight and the various performance parameters of this spaceship.

His memory ability was extremely abnormal; he could memorize everything after just one glance. Although these data were very cumbersome, they could not stump Lin Lei.

As he was reading, his eyes lit up. In the cabin of the flight guard team, a row of Mechas was placed!

Due to the sudden attack by the pirates, these Mechas did not even have time to be activated. They were just left there as scrap metal.

Lin Lei quickly queried the Mecha’s power parameters and weapon configurations.

These things were different from the hobbyist items on the Galaxy Public Information Network. These were real tools used for killing and arson!

There were two types of these Mechas. One type was blue and white, named “Galaxy Flight Standard Guard Mecha.” Lin Lei saw the name and immediately dismissed it. It was entirely for guards, so it would certainly be boring.

The second type was pure black, six meters tall, with a total of only ten units. They looked very ferocious on the outside, and their name was “Emergency Riot Control Mecha.”

It was this one! Its parameters were as follows:

Power Supply Mode: Ultra-micro complete hydrogen fusion battery, capable of running a fully functional Mecha for 10 Galaxy years.

Maximum Output Energy Level: 160 Standard Energy Levels.

Maximum Speed: 10 kilometers per second.

Maximum Acceleration: 1000 Newtons per kilogram (one hundred times the gravitational acceleration of Earth).

Weapon Configuration: Steady-state Photon Blades. Energy Arm Blades.

Note: The ratio of the Mecha’s Protective Force Field energy level to its attack energy level can be adjusted by the pilot.

For safety reasons, the pilot’s Physical Energy Level must be above 8.0.

After reading this, Lin Lei was excited. This was the super weapon prepared for him. With such a Mecha, he could even face-to-face clash with the Epic Beasts of Blue Rain Star.

What was there to wait for! At least he had to acquire one of these things; he could not let this opportunity pass! He quickly exited the flight network, jumped up from his seat, and headed for the guard team’s cabin.

As he was about to leave the room, Lin Lei looked at the two unlucky guys on the bed. For this couple who were so focused on their sexual activity, he could only say “good luck.”

The corridor outside the room was quiet. Presumably, the space pirates had already boarded the flight and started clearing free-moving passengers.

The entire spaceship had tens of thousands of people. For the pirates to successfully rob them, their scale must also be very large. With just himself and a Mecha, he could probably only protect himself. Flipping the situation around was obviously a fantasy; Lin Lei hadn’t even thought about it.

Especially since Lin Lei still did not know the specific situation of the space pirates. This was self-awareness, not cowardice!

But this time, Lin Lei was wrong. He did not yet know the powerful destructive power he possessed. This deterrent was almost of global strategic significance. Lin Lei, who had just entered the civilized world, did not realize this sufficiently.

These pirates were very professional. Upon boarding the flight, they destroyed most of the optical information collectors. Lin Lei even discovered that they used some method to cut off the Galaxy Public Information Network.

Well, with that done, no matter how powerful the System in Lin Lei’s head was, it was powerless, especially when armed pirate spaceships threatened from outside the flight.

Along the way, Lin Lei dodged and hid as he advanced. At every location with optical information collectors, whether they were working or broken, he avoided them all.

The journey was relatively smooth. He arrived at the guard cabin with excitement but without danger. However, the situation there depressed him to the point where he wanted to curse. He saw a strange-shaped, wildly styled Mecha standing straight at the doorway.

In other words, the cowardly members of the ship’s guard team had been disarmed without even resisting. What was Lin Lei supposed to do?

The most critical issue was that this Mecha had obviously discovered Lin Lei, because it turned its body and raised its cannon muzzle!

What should he do?!
