VCRMM: Chapter 340

“S… Stolen?”

“Then you killed the original owner of this mecha?” Finn asked in disbelief.

Brilliant Fireworks nodded.

He looked at the shocked expression of the NPC in front of him and felt a strange sense of pride.

Hehe, were these alien NPCs scared of their magic?

Finn carefully examined the Roland man in front of him. He looked very young, no more than 20 years old.

He didn’t feel much mental pressure when facing this young man. The mecha he displayed looked intact and didn’t look like it had been violently destroyed.

So, how did he kill the original owner without damaging the mecha?

Finn couldn’t help thinking of the day when the Clive star thieves invaded the Roland Empire. In fact, it wasn’t really an invasion. After all, the Clive star thieves were destroyed before they even entered Escher Star.

But how were the Clive star thieves destroyed?

According to His Majesty Roland’s wishes, only three or four captives were kept and the rest were killed.

If the Interstellar Alliance needed to revoke the wanted order, the Roland Empire could provide the relics of these people. However, it was up to the alliance to identify who was who.

Finn actually hadn’t really believed it.

They had visited the captured battleships and saw that a fierce battle had taken place, but…

It only took one day to wipe out an entire group of star thieves. Wasn’t this combat power too outrageous?

Thinking about the Interstellar Alliance’s previous record in clearing out the star thieves, didn’t such a comparison make them seem like rubbish?

Finn admitted that Marshal Si Sheng was powerful, but there couldn’t be so many powerful people at that level, right?

He watched the whole process at that time. The man only destroyed a battleship at the beginning and didn’t take any further action!

Moreover, Finn carefully thought about the scene of that day and there was one thing that concerned him very much

How did the soldiers of the Roland Empire get into the battleships of the Clive star thieves?

They originally thought that the Roland Empire could only send out spaceships and shuttles to resist the Clive star thieves. But after watching the entire battle…

It seemed that there were no signs of any shuttles, let alone spaceships!

The scene at that time was that Si Sheng suddenly appeared and destroyed a battleship of the Clive star thieves with one sword. Then the other four battleships stopped in place.

After waiting a whole day, the four battleships suddenly started to move and slowly entered Escher Star.

Immediately afterward, Adrian sent a message to their support team, stating that all four battleships of the Clive star thieves had been captured.

So in this battle, the Roland Empire was inexplicably victorious.

Then how did Roland’s army enter the four battleships? This was a very critical question.

Finn suddenly remembered the box that was thrown out of the battleship by the Clive star thieves.

It seemed that after their scout broke the box, a group of people with strange behaviors appeared in the blink of an eye. Even though they all died in the end…

He looked at the young man in front of him, who could speak fluent universal language, and couldn’t help asking, “Can you tell me about your battle?”

“If you can answer all of our questions, I can help you repair this mecha.”

The Interstellar Alliance’s delegation was equipped with professional mecha repairmen. As long as Finn asked, repairing the mecha and changing the main brain settings wouldn’t be a big problem.

The eyes of Brilliant Fireworks lit up. A mission reminder popped up in front of him.

The key point was that he didn’t need to change factions to accept this mission! Answering the questions of the delegation wasn’t considered treason.

He quickly accepted the mission and patiently answered Finn and Giles’ questions. Seeing this, the other players eavesdropping nearby volunteered to answer.

Finn also wanted to listen to other people’s opinions. The price wasn’t that high for him anyway.

What he didn’t expect was that even though there were originally only a dozen people on the first floor of the barbecue restaurant, more and more people came to answer his questions as time passed.

By the time he came to his senses, there were at least a thousand people here! In addition, the number was still increasing. He used his mental power to scan the outside and found that the street was already surrounded by people!

“Get out of the way! I want to accept the mission!”

“D*mn, I’m too late. I definitely won’t get the mission.”

“Ahh, why is there a limit on the number of these flashing missions? What should I do if I can’t grab a mission?”

“Look at me, look at me. I’m Roland’s know-it-all. If you want to know anything, just ask me!”

“……”

Finn and Giles were simply stunned as they looked at the dense crowd.

It was very noisy but the surprising thing was that they could actually understand it.

These people were all speaking the universal language!

This discovery forced Finn to re-evaluate the education rate in the Roland Empire.

 

It seemed that many of his original perceptions of the Roland Empire were wrong!

Under the ‘enthusiastic’ gaze of so many people, they couldn’t even eat the barbecue.

Still, there were a few young men diligently helping them grill the meat and even serving tea and water.

However, when Finn looked at the people who were isolated by the protective shield one meter away and trying to desperately squeeze in, he inexplicably remembered the strange people who stuck to the glass windows of the battleship on the first day they landed in the Roland Empire.

He really had no appetite at all!

Finally, Finn called the waiter of the barbecue restaurant for help and asked him to call the city guards over.

The moment the city guards arrived, the players who hadn’t received the mission dispersed in a gloomy manner.

After all, the punishment for disturbing public order was quite severe. Not only would their reputation be deducted, but in serious cases, they would be put in solitary confinement in prison.

In the end, only a dozen players who had answered Finn’s questions were left. They gathered around the two people with smug looks on their faces, waiting for their rewards.

Finn had basically asked all the questions he wanted to know.

He was a man of his word, and these people also paid for their meal, so he left his contact information with these people and asked them to contact him at the embassy another day. Then he left under the escort of the city guards.

Before leaving, he found the player who activated the protective shield and asked him if he was willing to sell the thing that just separated them from the crowd.

The player readily sold it to him but didn’t ask for money. Instead, he traded it for Finn’s gun.

What he traded to Finn was just a small protective magic circle engraved on a stone slab. It could release a protective shield with a diameter of around three meters.

If he encountered a herd of beasts in the wilderness, it could play a certain buffering role. However, the cumulative damage it could withstand was only 50,000 and it couldn’t last long.

The advantage was that it could be reused as long as it wasn’t blown up. It could be used for a long time with just a one-star core. It was most practical to throw it out when rushing to grab a mission.

However, if the city guards had arrived a bit later, the protective shield would’ve been blown up and the stone slab directly scrapped.

Now it wasn’t scrapped but was replaced with a high-quality laser gun. The player grinned from ear to ear.

Still, he didn’t dare to be complacent for too long. Once Finn and Giles left, he quickly slipped away to avoid being attacked by the players eyeing him covetously.

Finn and Giles returned to the embassy under the escort of the city guards.

The captain of the city guards tactfully told them that if they didn’t want to enjoy this ‘enthusiasm’ again, they had better disguise themselves when going out.

The braves were particularly interested in important people with status.

Finn agreed promptly. Then at the captain’s recommendation, he used the communicator to search for the Roland Empire’s food delivery platform.

“Oh, this platform is very convenient to buy anything you want. Basically, every store in Imperial City is on it. Even things from stores in other main cities can be delivered on the same day.”

The braves, especially the wind elementalists, were particularly enthusiastic about delivering goods and takeout.

After all, delivering food gave them experience, reputation, Escher coins and even achievement rewards. Sometimes, if they were lucky, they might encounter hidden missions!

For players, the more missions like this, the better!

The other city guard captains didn’t say much. Once they left, Finn turned around and saw Giles already browsing the food delivery platform.

“There are so many delicious-looking dishes!”

Giles’ eyes lit up. “Today’s barbecue was delicious. It is a pity that I didn’t enjoy it very much.”

“I’ll order more and share it with everyone else when they get back.”

“Oh, this Roland Empire is so great. It is simply a paradise for foodies!”

Finn witnessed his changes and couldn’t help shaking his head. “Do you still remember your previous evaluation of the Roland Empire, my friend?”

Giles pretended not to hear it. He ordered a lot of food before suddenly saying in distress. “Ahhh, Finn, I don’t have Escher coins. You can’t pay with cosmic coins on this platform!”

Finn didn’t care and said, “Just go to the Interstellar Alliance’s foreign exchange platform to exchange it.”

The Interstellar Alliance basically had currency reserves of each nation that was a part of it. This could be exchanged on the platform, making it very friendly to interstellar travelers.

Giles only complained once before skillfully opening the foreign exchange platform, wanting to exchange cosmic coins directly for Escher coins. Then he found out that—

“Ah, why is there no exchange option for Escher coins on the Interstellar Alliance’s foreign exchange platform? Doesn’t the alliance have any reserves of Escher coins?!”
