“Brother, aren’t these fireworks beautiful?”
The little robot emerged from Xu Sili’s communicator. His electronic eyes flashed and he had a childish look of seeking approval. This made Xu Sili recover from the shock and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Beautiful was beautiful but…
“How did you do it?” Xu Sili asked. “There shouldn’t be so many weapons in the things I gave you, right?”
He was in the spaceship but he had extended his spiritual power. He saw so many cannon barrels densely packed and it sent a chill down his spine while also subverting his cognition.
How was this an ordinary civilian spaceship? Had they ever seen a civilian spaceship that could blow up a battleship armed to the teeth in an instant?
“My factory made it.”
Xiao Wu answered truthfully, “I collected some designs on the Star Network and thought they seemed useful. Then Brother bought a spaceship and promised to lend it to me to study.”
“I… I made small modifications to the spaceship.”
Small modifications?
Xu Sili looked at the ‘fireworks’ that hadn’t dissipated in the distance and couldn’t help his smile stiffening a bit.
If this was just a ‘small’ modification then a more thorough modification… how scary would it be?
“It is too dangerous.”
Xu Sili looked serious as he told Xiao Wu, “It is okay for you to modify it but you can’t play casually. You have to get my consent in the future before you play around, you know?”
The little robot looked at him, lowered his head and hummed softly in agreement.
Xu Sili looked at him and finally reached out to touch the phantom of the little guy, as if stroking the top of his head.
Under the little robot’s eyes, that had brightened up again, he smiled and said, “But you did a good job this time. The fireworks are beautiful.”
Not only had he discovered the battleship of the Bewatt Empire but he also wiped it out in one go. To be honest, Xu Sili never expected that Xiao Wu could play such a big role.
The praised little robot became happy again and said clearly, “Xiao Wu also thinks it looks good!”
“When I saw it in the video materials, I thought it looked good. I didn’t expect it to be even more beautiful in reality! Brother, I want to get bigger and better looking ones next time~”
Seeing him so elated, like a child with a new toy, Xu Sili smiled. However, a bit of worry was inevitably born in his heart.
An artificial intelligence with such powerful energy was indeed a great killer, but he needed to be guided well. Otherwise, he would get out of control…
Xu Sili had already accepted Xiao Wu so he didn’t want to see that happen.
“Xiao Wu, the Bewatt lizardmen are our enemies.”
Xu Sili explained it seriously.
“Roland has never taken the initiative to provoke them, but they have repeatedly wanted to split up Roland and incite the people to rebel. Now they even sent battleships near Escher. Their ambition is obvious.”
“Facing the lizardmen of Bewatt, we naturally can’t be merciful. This is why Brother supports you when you beat them into fireworks.”
Xiao Wu quieted down. He raised his electronic eyes and looked at Xu Sili in a slightly ignorant manner, but it could be seen that he was listening very seriously.
Xu Sili patiently told him.
“But when dealing with other people, we can maintain goodwill if they don’t show hostility. First, see if we can be friends with each other and build a good relationship.”
“Maybe in the future, they can be our help.”
“In short, try not to turn others into fireworks unless it is a special situation, you know?”
Xiao Wu nodded in understanding. “I know, Brother.”
He asked, “So what is a special situation?”
“For example, when someone bullies you,” Xu Sili said. “If you don’t have a way to decide, ask me, Si Sheng or Second Brother before acting.”
“Yes, Brother.”
Seeing him respond obediently, Xu Sili sighed with relief.
At this time, he saw the little robot looking at him cautiously and asking, “Brother, are you angry with me?”
Angry?
“No.” He shook his head.
Perhaps he noticed something but the little robot was quiet for a while. Then he suddenly said, “Xiao Wu will never hurt Brother.”
Xu Sili was slightly startled.
He looked at the virtual image of the little robot and felt more and more in his heart how far this artificial intelligence created by himself had grown.
He didn’t feel frightened by this. His lips curved up and he said gently, “Yes, Brother believes in you.”
The little robot looked up at him. Obviously, he shouldn’t be able to see an expression because there were no facial features, but he could feel that the little guy was observing him.
Perhaps Xiao Wu felt his sincerity as he quickly became happy again.
“Yes!”
The childish voice was particularly soft and cute.
Then his voice became serious again.
“It has been discovered that an unidentified flying object is approaching quickly. It is expected to arrive in five minutes. The overall condition of the spaceship is good and the energy storage is low. The normal time for the jump is 2 minutes and 36 seconds. We can leave before the unidentified flying object arrives.”
“Brother, do you want to start the jump?”
An unidentified flying object? Xu Sili nodded. “Let’s go. Don’t be discovered.”
“Okay.”
The little robot burrowed into his communicator. Immediately after that, the spaceship started working again.
In the cabin, the players were still watching the ‘big fireworks’ outside.
“Oh my god, what was that just now?”
“I don’t know. The opposite side suddenly exploded.”
“What suddenly exploded? We fired at that side! Didn’t you realize that there was a ship hiding there… no, it was a battleship! Super cool!”
“Yes yes, a battleship! I just filmed it. I wanted to examine it more closely but then it disappeared with a bang!”
“A bang… sound in the universe can’t be transmitted. Was your high school physics knowledge returned to the teacher?”
“I’m just speaking rhetorically. Do you understand?”
“Oh, your physics was taught by your language teacher.”
Some people started arguing as they spoke.
The surrounding players ignored them and continued to focus on the big explosion outside. After all, the top 500 players were basically high level players and they were more sensitive to such incidents.
In addition, they were seeing such an impactful scene from up close. Even if they couldn’t see the panoramic view, just looking at the aftermath of the explosion was shocking.
“Is Roland’s military strength so high?”
“There is even a military factory and spaceship. It shouldn’t be bad.”
“Then why is it still besieged by interstellar beasts?”
“Am I the only one curious about where the ship that was hit came from? There should be someone inside, right? Why did it get destroyed without saying a word?”
The players were discussing enthusiastically. Xu Yuheng, who was sitting in the back row, turned pale for a while. Finally, he became calm.
It was good to get used to it. There was no need to make a fuss.
He thought numbly.
“Brother Yu, what do you think? Who is in the battleship?” Baifeng wondered. “Will it be related to the future main plot of Starry Sky Age?”
Xu Yuheng was silent.
Now the main plotline of the game had reached the point where even he, who had read the detailed information, couldn’t spoil it.
Still, if it was Xiao Li’s plan then he could say a few things.
“It should be the Bewatt Empire,” Xu Yuheng guessed.
“Bewatt Star? You are talking about the aliens those traitors from before are loyal to!” Baifeng immediately thought of it.
“That’s right. They sneakily hid here and were silently killed by Roland. It is probably the battleship of Bewatt Star but… is it really a battleship? Is it so fragile?”
According to his words, the players who were previously sure it was a battleship were no longer so sure. After all, they had never seen what a battleship of Starry Sky Age looked like.
Then it probably wasn’t a battleship…
Otherwise, how could it be the same as paper? They were so close but the other party didn’t find out. They stupidly stopped in place and didn’t take any defensive actions.
Now it had been blown up with no resistance.
After analyzing it, the players quickly overturned their previous speculations. In addition, their understanding of Roland’s military level was pulled a bit higher than before.
The spaceship on the opposite side should be the same as theirs. It was so brittle that it knelt down immediately.
In this way, Roland wasn’t that weak.
“I wonder what Bewatt Star looks like? The officials didn’t release any brief introductions,” a player complained.
Xu Yuheng listened to it and couldn’t help having a dark expression.
This was something from the second expansion pack. How could it be released now?
Just then, the spaceship started up again. The players who had just unfastened their seat belts quickly returned to their positions and fastened it under the prompting of the system.
The spaceship smoothly entered the transition channel.
The aftermath of the explosion of the Bewatt battleship still hadn’t dissipated when they disappeared.
After a few more minutes, the spaceship tore through the darkness and flew over from a distance.
This was a very beautiful spaceship. The hull was brightly colored and the word ‘Voyager’ was written in the universal language. It was flamboyant and full of personality.
“It seems that the winner has left.”
In the spaceship’s control room, a charming looking woman stared at the scene of the explosion with interest.
On the other half of the screen in front of her, the video inadvertently captured by their monitoring instrument was playing.
It was estimated that it was too far away, so the video wasn’t clear. Still, she could distinguish what happened at the time.
In the video was a model that seemed like an ordinary civilian spaceship produced by the Flanders Interstellar Federation. There was nothing outstanding except its deep black color.
However, only a second later, the simple and honest fat man instantly showed his fat fangs.
The dense muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the battleship in the corner.
Yes, almost everyone on the Voyager recognized that this was produced by Flanders, but it was actually a high-end war machine that wasn’t on the market.
As a result, such a battleship was destroyed by a ‘civilian spaceship’ in less than a minute. It couldn’t even send a distress signal. At the very least, the Voyager didn’t intercept the relevant signal.
It was incredible.
Who was the person who modified this spaceship? They were such a master. If she met them…
