Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 8: The gods fight and the mortals sufferChapter 8: The gods fight and the mortals suffer
Liu Wen’s psychic power has taken root and sprouted, and he has become a first-level psychic and a beginner.

The psychic practitioners in the main universe are clearly divided according to their combat power, and are matched with warships of civilization at each level.

There are many schools of psychic energy in the main universe, and the mainstream still takes the pure route, evolving itself through continuous purification and condensation of psychic energy, and using psychic energy to leverage the rules of the universe to fight.

In the Shinto system, a fourth-level psychic is a demigod who can ignite the divine fire. In the Immortal system, it is a real person who has condensed the Nascent Soul. In the magical system, it is also called the Holy Domain. These all represent longevity and combat effectiveness.

A first-level psychic, a weak one like Liu Wen now, can only punch out with a force of three to four hundred kilograms, while a strong one can already resist ordinary kinetic weapons with his physical body.

In the inner earth civilization, the first three levels of spiritual energy in the main universe are actually divided into nine levels, with every three levels corresponding to a level of civilization.

At level two, a psychic can fly in the flesh and withstand attacks from weapons below the force of a nuclear bomb.

When you reach the third level, you can initially enter space, and it is no longer a dream for your body to withstand a nuclear bomb. Those with talent will also awaken their innate abilities through mental induction of certain rules of the universe.

When one reaches the fourth level, he is no longer human. His physical body can traverse the void, and after learning the corresponding knowledge, he can perform space jumps or curvature navigation on his own.

The combat effectiveness of the opponents ranges from level 4 frigate-class battleships to level 4 cruiser-class battleships without being defeated. For example, the psychics that appeared when the Blood Wolf Pirates were hunting the incarnation of the dimensional evil god were all level 4 psychics who could survive in space and their combat effectiveness had reached the level of frigate-class battleships.

Liu Wen happily felt the thin spiritual energy in his body. After it jumped from zero to one, he could enhance his spiritual energy by exercising active spiritual energy and absorbing free energy in the void of the universe. However, this process was very slow, and he still had to rely on consuming spiritual energy materials to speed up the progress.

When we arrived at the virtual control room, Fat Blue was analyzing the information sent back by the detector. He saw Liu Wen come in and looked at the time. Wasn’t it time for the shift change yet?

”Old Liu, it’s not time for the shift change yet.” Fat Blue reminded kindly.

”It’s okay. I just became a first-level psychic and need to take it easy. It’s a pity that we didn’t buy some psychic materials when we left.” Liu Wen looked regretful.

If he had prepared psychic materials, he might have made a great step forward in level one by the time he returned to City 315.

”Condensed spiritual energy? So fast?” The blue fat man looked at Liu Wen in surprise and looked him up and down.

”I don’t see any difference.” The blue fat man even reached out and poked Liu Wen’s arm to see the changes after he had psychic power.

Liu Wen rolled his eyes: ”What are you thinking about? I just became a psychic. Gene optimization is not something that can be achieved in an instant. Besides, my psychic power is too little. I can’t even break the limit of the human body.”

”Should we exchange for gene optimization potions? I heard that after gene optimization, the body will be stronger and have more biological energy, which will also have a bonus on the cultivation of spiritual energy.” The blue fat man suddenly suggested.

It’s not impossible.

It was the blue fat man who reminded Liu Wen that there was another way, that is, genetic optimization. The genetic optimization in the human kingdom is divided into three levels. After the injection, one can obtain the body of a nearly third-level psychic and a lifespan of up to two thousand years.

After that, there are genetic evolution potions, which have many routes to choose from. They are all based on the research of various powerful individual creatures. They are not in the same system as psychics, and they have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of combat effectiveness.

The advantage of psychics lies in their stability. At that stage, even if they do not have advanced knowledge, they still have basic combat power as a guarantee.

The genetic evolution system depends entirely on the type of genetic medicine used, and the difference in combat effectiveness can be so huge.

The only lucky thing is that these two paths can actually be taken at the same time. The famous and powerful people in the human kingdom basically take both paths at the same time, either taking psychic power as the main path and genetic evolution as the auxiliary path.

”Let’s talk about this when we get back. Right now we don’t have a trustworthy enough channel to purchase gene optimization drugs in the main universe. If we exchange it through the Interstellar Alliance, the courier fee will be higher than the cost of the gene optimization drugs.” Liu Wen had also looked up relevant information. In the second world, the Interstellar Alliance can exchange everything as long as you have contribution points, but the amount is daunting for most people.

”By the way, now that you have successfully cultivated the spiritual energy in the second world, what about the body in the main universe? Can you take it back now?” asked the blue fat man curiously.

”Not yet. We don’t have enough psychic energy right now. The bodies in the second world are made of spiritual power mixed with ordinary materials. Even the genetic sequence is incomplete. We are no better than clones.”

Liu Wen shook his head: ”If you want to bring it back, you have to wait a little longer. After your spiritual energy reaches a certain amount, you can spend contribution points to bring it back through mental entanglement.”

”In addition, this body will be energized as the spiritual energy gradually grows. At that time, the genes can be optimized through the genetic coding of the spiritual imprint, and gradually synchronized with the main body. If I can become a seventh-level spiritual master in the future, the two bodies will merge into one, and the spiritual energy will definitely increase dramatically. There is also a great hope of sprinting to the eighth level.”

The blue fat man nodded. He had looked up information about this when he was practicing psychic powers. When a psychic reaches level seven, he can withstand the pressure of traveling through the universe, allowing his physical body to enter the second world without having to go through a landing capsule or something like that.

”By the way, I just analyzed some information. There is a planetary base one light year away from the mining site we are interested in. It has been developed into several large living cities.” The blue fat man happily showed the collected information to Liu Wen.

”Judging from the style and design, it’s a mining spaceship launched by this alien civilization. It has two space docks, several space fortresses, and a fleet consisting of dozens of warships. The military strength is not weak. It’s a pity that there are only a few cruiser-class battleships at most.” After reading it, Liu Wen touched his chin and thought about the target situation.

The blue fat man opened the star map and said, ”It will take at least ten days to get from their base camp to the target point because of the route. If we force a jump, it will be much faster. Unfortunately, the environment is too complicated and there is no safe jump point. They will not be able to catch up with us after we take action.”

”We were only able to take the enemy by surprise the first two times. After we learned our lesson, we think it’s basically impossible to win this battle easily. There is a high possibility that we will be discovered as soon as we get within a few light years. We won’t be able to grab anything without a fight.” Liu Wen looked regretful. The aliens were not stupid. After the first time, all kinds of detectors would surely be spread everywhere, and they would not give him a second chance.

”We’ll arrive in three hours. The course has been fine-tuned, and no foreign warships have been found in the surrounding area within dozens of light hours.” The fat blue man called up the detection situation near the target.

Liu Wen was quite satisfied, but he didn’t know how much he could gain in the end. He must bring two transport ships next time, otherwise it would be a pity if he couldn’t take away the good stuff he got.

More than two hours later, the three of them gathered together and checked all the equipment again to make sure it was running well and ready to start working at any time.

”We have entered the target detection radar range.”

”Enemy defense weapons have been activated. Four twin-mounted turrets have been activated.”

”Approaching the target within ten light minutes, receiving a cleartext communication warning.”

”This is the Yaxon mining base, warship of an unknown race, you have entered our airspace, leave immediately, leave immediately!”

Liu Wen sat in the command chair, listening to the communication sent by the other mining ship with a frown on his face. The Jacobsons, an alien civilization he had never heard of.

”There is an abnormality in the alien base. Three warships are leaving the space dock. We are likely the target.” Frog discovered the abnormality of the Jacobson tribe through the detector and quickly reported it.

”How fast are they?” Liu Wen asked.

”They entered curvature navigation and cannot observe their speed.” For safety reasons, the detector can only turn on the optical telescope, so it is difficult to passively collect distant space fluctuations.

Well, go straight into warp speed.

Liu Wen decided to ignore them for the time being. With a distance of one light year, even if there was a safe route, the speed would not be fast. It would take at least two or three days to get there. But here, he only needed one or two hours, and the rest of the time was enough for him to run a long way.

”Be careful when you fight later, don’t damage the cargo hold of the mining ship. It will be much more convenient for us to carry things with a cargo hold.” Liu Wen reminded the blue fat man.

”Don’t worry.” The blue fat man held the joystick with both hands, and his vision was connected to the battleship’s radar.

”Enter the deceleration phase, start charging the laser cannon, charge the particle cannon, and try to eliminate all defense weapons at once.” Liu Wen controlled the warship to break away from the curvature, and the ship drew an arc and revolved around the target asteroid. Several laser beam weapons were fired from the target spacecraft, and the red laser beam drew a long mark on the energy shield of the Xinghai, as if several sharp blades were slashing across the shield.

”The enemy has four defensive turrets and eight laser cannons with a range of six light seconds. The unit damage is 150 degrees, and our energy shield has 40% left.” This was the first time that Frog had experienced this kind of thing. Even if he died here, he would only lose a little mental energy and his heart would still be beating wildly.

”The target has been locked, the warship has entered a stable orbit, and we can counterattack.” Previously, because the warship was too fast and they had not received corresponding training, they could only rely on the warship’s radar positioning to attack, and it was easy to miss the attack window due to untimely response.

Therefore, Liu Wen simply stabilized the spacecraft after finding out the intensity of the target’s attack, which was equivalent to turning both sides into a fixed target to start the war.

When the blue fat man heard that he could fight back, he did not hesitate. It was his first time to fight in a battleship, but it was not his first time to play games.

The Xinghai’s laser cannon fired alternately in two rounds, focusing fire on an alien mining ship turret in each round.

However, two lasers missed the battleship because of the wrong angle, and instead hit the mining ship’s shield, melting it into two huge holes.

The laser beam hit the mining ship’s energy shield, creating ripples.

”The target energy shield is estimated to have a unit protection of less than 2,000 degrees, and it has consumed approximately 65 percent of it so far.” Frog shouted excitedly.

”Particle cannon fire.” One laser cannon has a unit damage of 200 degrees. There are two particle cannons in total, and the unit damage of each is 260 degrees.

The orange-yellow particle beams and the counterattack fire of the mining ship intersected each other. After opening fire, the Xinghai turned to avoid under the control of Liu Hai and was only hit by four shots. The energy shield dropped again and then slowly recovered under the power supply of the reactor.

Two particle beams hit the target directly. The immobile mining ship could not hold on immediately. The energy shield was pierced and the remaining particle beams hit the mining ship, melting a hole in its outer armor.

At this time, the laser had been charged. After adjusting the direction, the blue fat man immediately pressed the button. Six laser beams passed through the void and hit the target, melting the two turrets into a pile of scrap metal.

After losing the firepower of one mining ship, the remaining mining ship posed little threat to the Xinghai. The battleship made an evasive move and only sustained one-third of the damage before missing the attack range.

After another round of attacks, the energy shield of the second mining ship was broken, and two laser cannons destroyed the defensive firepower.

”Quick, Fat Blue, use the laser to cut off the cargo hold of the mining ship, and Frog, quickly activate the binding field, pull the light, and pull out all the minerals piled on the ground.” Liu Wen drove the battleship to within fifty kilometers of the asteroid, but did not dare to get any closer, fearing that the mining ship had a self-destruct system that would cause mutual destruction.

The blue fat man activated the laser cannon, using the sharpness of the laser to reduce the energy supply and act as a cutter to disassemble the mining ship, leaving only the cargo holds of two mining ships.

Frog controlled the binding field to cover the mountain of minerals, and then used a tractor beam to pull the minerals out of the asteroid and drag them to the back of the spacecraft to bind them.

After nearly an hour of hard work, they finally pulled out the minerals and two cargo holds bit by bit, and used a restraining force field to confine them to the rear of the spacecraft.

Then Liu Wen started the thrust engine and accelerated, rushing in the direction he came from, leaving behind only the two mining ship equipment that were violently dismembered by the blue fat man.

After more than ten minutes, when the Xinghai accelerated to 40% of sub-light speed, Liu Wen exited the virtual control room and checked the harvest.

”Robbery target: the Jacobson tribe
Number of robberies: One
Looted property: 535,104 cubic meters of Ling copper ore, 85 cubic meters of Ling gold ore, and 1,389 cubic meters of Ling zinc ore.

”Reward has been issued: Enriched Spirit Copper Ore, do you want to claim the reward?”

”Huh?” Liu Wen had a question mark on his forehead. After clicking to receive it, he felt a little overwhelmed.

”What do you mean? Didn’t you say you’d get a hundredfold return? What do you mean by giving me a mineral coordinate? It seems I have to buy the equipment and mine it myself, right?”

Liu Wen thought that his golden finger for the defeated might be very powerful, after all, it was the collective spiritual will of all human beings who died in the war, but he didn’t expect that he would be hit with such a trick just by robbing the aliens for the first time.

Such a small amount of minerals could not be materialized directly. He did not expect that they would just give him a coordinate and ask him to dig it himself.

Liu Wen was stunned. He checked the coordinates through the star map and found that it was actually in this star field, less than a light year away from him.

After carefully comparing the star map of the star field, it was confirmed that it was not within the control of aliens, but was close to the human team, between the two, and located at the edge of the asteroid belt. It is very likely that it will enter the asteroid belt in a year or two.

”It’s so infuriating!” Liu Wen was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He was counting on this golden finger to make a fortune, but it ended up like this. What if he robbed a few spaceships in the future? Would he have to go to the alien shipyard to pick them up?

When Liu Wen thought that he couldn’t make money by robbing in the future, he felt depressed.

In his previous life, he enjoyed the blessings of nine hundred and ninety-six for nearly ten years. He traveled here with a golden finger. He thought that he could quickly acquire resources and become a big boss of the human race, so that he could enjoy life to the fullest.

But he didn’t expect that reality would give him a heavy blow, and it was an alloy stick that broke his forehead.

”Hey, can you give me an accurate answer? What exactly can you materialize? Be more reliable so I can rob you in a targeted manner.” Liu Wen tried to communicate with this collective of wills, but just like the previous eighteen years, the other party did not respond at all.

”It’s over. How can we rise quickly?” Liu Wen’s original plan was aborted.

“But think about it, if the collective will of a group of defeated warriors can really materialize anything, would they still be defeated? Void constructions are something that only advanced civilizations can do, and the corresponding matter must be analyzed into microscopic particles.” Liu Wen sighed and began to wonder to what extent this collective will could achieve.

When robbing credit point bonds, they were given tangible items directly, including weapons and the like, but now tens of millions of cubic meters of minerals are given directly in coordinates. The difference here is that there are too many substances and too much energy is required.

The rest have yet to be verified. I don’t know if the contribution points from robbery will be directly added to the account. Logically speaking, the account of the Interstellar Alliance has conceptual-level protection. It would be difficult for this collective of wills to break through. Even if he can break through, he doesn’t dare to ask for it directly. What if the Interstellar Alliance finds out about the problem and comes to him?
Four days passed while Liu Wen was in a trance, and he finally arrived at the human team’s area, dragging tens of thousands of cubic meters of minerals.

”Hello, Captain Zhao. I would like to rent a transport ship from your group to transport some goods.” As soon as Liu Wen connected to the human team’s communication channel, he sent a message to Zhao Fei, directly expressing his desire to rent a ship.

Zhao Fei was stunned, then looked at the image sent back by the detector, which showed a huge mineral ball being towed behind a warship.

I was shocked. It had only been a short time and they had actually started to take action. They had robbed so many minerals. They must have robbed at least three mining sites to get so many.

”Of course, I will free up a transport ship for Captain Liu.” Zhao Fei asked with a flattering smile, ”Which mining site did you rob?”

”It seems to be called the Jacobson tribe. They are not very powerful and have only two or three cruisers.” Liu Wen said with an indifferent expression.

”The Jacobsons?” Zhao Fei thought to himself and then felt a toothache. It seemed that he really had to take his team to seek refuge now. This race disliked humans the most and liked to come and cause trouble for humans every now and then.

This time the mining site was robbed, and who knows what cruel things might happen. He immediately notified several human teams of the news and began to pack up his belongings and prepare to evacuate to avoid the limelight.

Liu Wen loaded the minerals into the borrowed transport ship, and Fat Blue supervised them as they followed behind the Xinghai and rushed back to City 315.

Seeing that Zhao Fei’s team seemed to be packing up and preparing to run away, Zhao Fei asked him to buy a set of mining equipment. Zhao Fei, who had originally planned to hide it randomly in the planetary belt, sold it to Liu Wen for 500 contribution points at a half-price discount.
