Merck thought that the human in front of him was very strange.
Wasn’t the destination of this trip clearly written in the brochure?
For Roland’s food tour, the location and activities would all be notified and confirmed repeatedly in advance. After all, a trip took at least two months. If the passengers had any problems during the trip, the travel agency would also have a headache.
Moreover, the Roland Empire had been very popular recently. There was no telling how many people wanted to go there. Even a tourist visa was difficult to get approved, so tour group tickets were expensive and hard to get.
The people on their spaceship were all rich or noble, and they were also gourmets who had a great pursuit of delicious food.
Of course, there were also those who were attracted by the magic of the Roland Empire and wanted to broaden their horizons.
In theory, there shouldn’t be the mistake of getting on the wrong ship.
“Don’t you know? Then how did you get on the ship?” Merck looked at Luoye Ranchen suspiciously.
His clothes were very unique with a strong exotic style. Only the coat looked familiar and should be a new product of the season.
“Did you buy your ticket?” Merck asked doubtfully.
Luoye Ranchen froze, knowing that he was exposed.
[Wow, this NPC is so sharp!]
[Hahaha, we almost went back to Roland together!]
[Are they the first group of alien NPCs to visit the food city? I’m so excited! Will they be able to receive many hidden missions?]
The players started a heated discussion on the barrage.
Luoye Ranchen didn’t care much. Since this spaceship was heading back to the Roland Empire, he would never go back with it.
The plan to board the ship failed.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, there is still time to run away!” He muttered before patting Merck on the shoulder.
“Thanks, Brother!”
After saying that, Luoye Ranchen put down the plate, turned around, merged directly into the metal wall next to him and disappeared.
Merck’s eyes widened. Then he let out a scream, attracting the attention of the surrounding tourists and security guards.
The crowd was attracted by the excitement. Meanwhile, Luoye Ranchen quickly returned to the cabin and searched through the items left behind by the NPCs on the seats.
The audience laughed in the comments. Some even encouraged him to just hitchhike back.
Luoye Ranchen didn’t bother to pay attention to them and stuffed everything he could see into his bag without thinking twice.
He discovered that he didn’t experience any reputation loss when taking things from these NPCs!
In the Roland Empire, this would result in imprisonment.
Then thinking about it, he had gone so far away from the territory of the Roland Empire. Logically speaking, the guards couldn’t catch him.
What he didn’t notice was that the indicator light of the communicator, which had only served as a decoration in the past few months, lit up silently.
The communicators that Xu Sili provided for players were all the latest high-tech products. They were fireproof, waterproof and could absorb various cosmic rays as energy.
So even if left alone for a few months, it was still guaranteed to run.
After entering the tourist spaceship, the communicator finally connected to a signal and automatically connected to the Star Network.
So Xiao Wu, who was far away on Escher, discovered that in his monitoring network, a point appeared in the universe far away from the Roland Empire.
Now Aunt Val had returned to Roland and was in charge of the food city and connecting with the Interstellar Alliance. Theoretically, there should be no braves in the universe, except for those on Sigta and Bewatt.
This point had nothing to do with these two planets.
“Your Highness Xiao Wu, what’s wrong?”
Mike bent down slightly and spoke softly to the child who suddenly fell silent.
This was the control room of the Yangfan.
The Yangfan had just finished a naval battle and returned to the port to repair itself.
Among all the magic ships, the Yangfan was undoubtedly the most special one and most popular among players.
It was because there was the control core called Mike on the Yangfan.
He didn’t have the satellite navigation function like other magic ships, but the entire magic ship was under his control. He was the master of the magic ship as long as there was sufficient energy.
Moreover, he had a wealth of knowledge. If the players talked to him, there was a high probability that they could trigger clues to certain hidden missions.
In short, the rental cost of the Yangfan was several times higher than that of other magic ships, but players were still happy with it.
Xiao Wu was born as a guide AI and was a bit unconvinced. He also heard from his brother that this Mike was a bit similar to him.
So he controlled a small robot and sneaked onto the Yangfan. However, he was discovered by Mike as soon as he got on board.
Just like his control over the arsenal, there was no corner of the Yangfan that could be hidden from Mike.
Those without permission weren’t allowed to enter, even inanimate objects.
However, Xiao Wu used a robot to avoid the surveillance of the magic circle. So the moment after being discovered, the little robot was targeted by a number of magic cannons.
These magic cannons were completely controlled by Mike, and they could appear anywhere on the ship as long as he wanted.
Xiao Wu reluctantly revealed his identity. Then he was respectfully invited to the control room by Mike, who had consulted Xu Sili.
He didn’t like his clumsy body, so after arriving in the control room, Xiao Wu simply abandoned the little robot and appeared in the form of a projection again.
The first time he saw the little boy with silver hair and purple eyes, Mike was obviously stunned for a moment. Then he smiled gently.
Xiao Wu saw this smile and slowly relaxed. In fact, he was very curious about the artificial intelligence of a magical civilization that was called a control core.
Xiao Wu felt that he was actually a product of half magic and half technology. After all, he awakened his consciousness thanks to the power of his brother.
After expressing his purpose, Mike generously showed the control core for Xiao Wu to study.
Xiao Wu looked at the glowing sphere and asked him, “If this thing breaks, will you be destroyed or disappear?”
Mike paused before nodding. “Yes.”
As a result, Xiao Wu patted his chest and said happily, “Then I am better than you.”
He wouldn’t suffer any damage even if the little robot was destroyed.
As long as there was a backup, he could be resurrected infinitely.
Mike was stunned for a moment before smiling again. “Hahaha, Your Highness Xiao Wu is indeed better than me!”
Listening to this hearty laughter, Xiao Wu looked at Mike curiously for a moment. Then he suddenly pointed at Mike’s blue hair and blue eyes, wanting to know his relationship with little Sea Song.
Mike’s expression became gentler after finding out who Sea Song was. A hint of nostalgia even appeared in his eyes.
“My master longed for the sea elves, so he gave me this setting.”
“Then do you have a fish tail?” Xiao Wu asked curiously.
“No.” Mike shook his head. “I was created based on my master’s memories… my previous master. He hadn’t seen a sea elf yet when he created me.”
Xiao Wu was immediately happy again. He raised his head and said proudly, “Then I have one more advantage over you.”
As a digital life, the most basic ability was to freely change his image.
His current image changed according to his own wishes.
“Oh? Can Your Highness Xiao Wu turn into a sea elf like Master?” Mike wondered curiously.
“Certainly!”
Xiao Wu finished talking and wanted to transform his fish tail. Then he noticed something abnormal in the signal from the monitoring program.
Thus, he tried to do two things at once. He showed off his fish tail to Mike while paying attention to the signal that suddenly appeared in the universe.
Soon, Xiao Wu hacked into the system of the tourist spaceship based on the positioning of the communicator.
Tourist spaceships like this were almost unguarded, so it was very easy for him to sneak in and find something wrong.
Luoye Ranchen had already filled his backpack to the brim and couldn’t fit anything else. Therefore, he talked to his companion in the team channel and prepared to run away.
However, Wutui Techang said in the channel, “Brother Chen, I saw another spaceship and was about to transfer over there.”
Another spaceship?
Luoye Ranchen quickly switched the perspective and watched the scene from Wutui Techang’s side through the live broadcast. Sure enough, he saw a dark spaceship quietly approaching the Feimeng, completing the final docking.
Just then, he heard footsteps in the corridor. Luoye Ranchen quickly merged into the metal wall and hid himself.
Four big men with laser guns broke into the room and started to search for things left on the seats by the passengers.
They started cursing when they realized that there was almost nothing good on the seats.
“A bunch of poor bast*ards! Wasting my time!”
Luoye Ranchen checked the levels of these NPCs and found they were all elite monsters over level 30. The danger level wasn’t high, but wasn’t very low either.
He might be nearly ten levels higher than them, but he didn’t dare to take them lightly. After all, the other side had more people and NPCs always had more health than players.
The four star thieves were angry, but they still launched a thorough search without giving up.
“Feimeng Travel Group only receives wealthy people. Search carefully and don’t miss anything!”
“Yes!”
Luoye Ranchen didn’t continue watching and left the cabin leisurely. Thinking of the NPC covered in green, he couldn’t help going to the food area to take a look.
The friendly atmosphere in the originally harmonious and comfortable reception hall was no longer there.
Hundreds of passengers were gathered in the center of the reception hall, all squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. They were being controlled by around seven or eight ferocious star thieves. Some were brought back from the restrooms.
“Techang, we seem to have met star thieves!” Luoye Ranchen said excitedly in the channel.
“Yes yes, they seem to be an organization called Blood Dance!”
He was exchanging information with Wutui Techang. Meanwhile, a group of players were screaming with excitement in the barrage.
[Another group of star thieves!]
[Brother Chen, quickly sneak in and take down this star thieves’ base to rid the people of harm!]
