Chapter 237 Exclusively published on Jinjiang: Did Lei Yan cheat on his girlfriend?

After greeting Lu Qing, Lu Xuan flew away from the village in his aircraft to a wilderness dozens of miles away.

Once he confirmed that there was no one else nearby, he released the warship.

A colossal creature, its main body pitch black and illuminated by orange-red lights, suddenly appeared in the wilderness.

Its shape is rectangular with a slightly narrow bow. The entire ship is made of a special alloy, with smooth lines and a technological feel unique to science fiction civilization. It is over 500 meters long and over 40 meters high, and its huge size gives people a great sense of oppression.

Lu Xuan stepped back a little, hovering at a height of about twenty meters, and admired the warship from afar for a moment. He was quite satisfied with this warship that had once again bankrupted him.

After a short while, he arrived at the hatch, activated it with the initial password, and waited for the hatch to open and the suspension ladder to appear before leading the excited audience on a tour of the warship's interior.

As a warship capable of accommodating up to several thousand soldiers, the interior is very spacious and features a high-tech design. Living quarters, rest areas, and multiple training rooms occupy a large area, along with special areas such as mech hangars, weapons depots, and energy depots. Each special area is blocked by multiple all-metal verification hatches.

As Lu Xuan familiarized himself with the layout, he filled the empty warship with the various newly purchased facilities and equipment one by one.

The furniture in the living area, the training equipment in the training area, the energy storage filled with special energy stones that are rarely used, the spacecraft, the space probe, and the escape pods were all placed in their proper places.

Finally, they arrived at the mech bay, which was as large as a plaza, and took out all thirty newly purchased mechs, arranging them in a row on both sides.

Wow!! So handsome!

[Thirty mechs? That's awesome! They're like thirty silent guards, so cool!!]

Not a single one of them is a standard military-grade mech; they're all high-performance, better-looking advanced mechs. That's a lot of money!

[A military academy student who couldn't afford a mecha silently shattered, QAQ! I'm so envious!!!]

Lu Xuan's interest was piqued, and he immediately picked out a few models with different performance levels for a test drive.

After months of training, he was already proficient in operating the mecha and could use various high-difficulty combat techniques with ease.

His demonstration not only satisfied his own interest but also provided a visual feast for the viewers in the live stream.

After spending an hour in the mech cabin, Lu Xuan finally arrived at the cockpit, still feeling unsatisfied.

The cockpit is also very large, with several rows of extremely complex and sophisticated control panels and dozens of corresponding auxiliary driver seats.

In addition, there is a separate seat on a raised platform in the center of the cockpit.

That's the position of the warship's commander, or rather, the head of the warship, who has an overall command and control.

Lu Xuan walked to his seat, sat down, opened the main control panel and quickly familiarized himself with the operation. Then he bound the warship's intelligent system to its master and installed the stealth device.

Warships also have an autopilot mode, but once a battle breaks out, launching energy cannons and deploying aircraft or mechs requires more complex operations.

Therefore, Lu Xuan will need to spend some time and effort learning how to pilot a warship.

However, we can put these aside for now and start the automatic mode to begin the first test flight.

Our destination: to break free of Earth and head into space!

To avoid being noticed by distant disaster victims during the ascent, Lu Xuan activated stealth mode. The pitch-black warship immediately disappeared from view and also vanished from radar detection.

The enormous warship, invisible to the naked eye and instruments, slowly rose into the air under the control of the intelligent system, then adjusted its direction, pierced through the clouds, and rushed into the atmosphere.

The warships were moving at extraordinary speeds, breaking out of the atmosphere and entering the dark, mysterious, and magnificent space in less than three minutes.

Lu Xuan steered the warship so that the cockpit window faced Earth directly. Because it was still daytime in the direction he was facing, under the starlight, Earth in this plane—if it was still called Earth—did not look much different from what he remembered.

It's a beautiful planet, with blue dominating a large area, and other areas covered by clouds and continuous ochre/green mountain ranges.

The thought that humanity on Earth was still in a feudal dynasty, while he himself was piloting a spaceship of an interstellar civilization into space, created a stark contrast that filled him with a strange feeling.

Upon reaching space, Lu Xuan quickly deactivated the stealth mode, revealing the warship's cool appearance to the surrounding celestial bodies.

After consulting with the intelligent system, he tentatively fired a few energy cannon shots at several randomly wandering meteorites to test their power and energy consumption.

The viewers in the live broadcast room first saw several lights suddenly appear in the silent space, and then the selected meteorite exploded silently and was instantly pulverized into cosmic dust.

Electromagnetic cannons, particle cannons, even antimatter cannons... Well, the last one was too powerful and the price was unusually high. Lu Xuan didn't have enough points left, so he didn't buy it at all.

However, the power of the weapons on other large warships was enough to give Lu Xuan, who suffered from a fear of insufficient weaponry, a great sense of satisfaction.

Afterwards, he piloted his personal master-level mech from the warship to test the power of the energy weapons on the mech, and also took the opportunity to admire the warship from a distance.

While Lu Xuan was having so much fun, Lu Qing called.

"Ah Xuan? Are you coming back today? Do you want me to wait for you for dinner?"

"Brother, where are you? I can't see you in the holographic world. Sister said you went out?"

Lei Yan, who had just finished work, was also puzzled. "Didn't we say we'd be staying home and not going out lately?"

Lu Xuan said, "He didn't go far, no, you could say he went very far." So far that it would be difficult for anyone other than him to reach him.

Lu Xuan wanted to give them a surprise, so he didn't rush to tell them about the warship's existence. He simply told them not to wait for him and to eat first.

He hasn't done enough testing yet.

I want to experience the actual flight speed of the warship, its impact resistance, and even the legendary warp drive.

[Please, streamer, don't!]

[The jump speed is indeed very fast, but your civilization's level of technology is not even at the level of a rudimentary civilization. Your exploration of the star system is zero; you don't even know the situation in the star system where your current plane is located. A hasty jump could easily lead to getting lost in space and never being able to return.]

Even if you manage to return, the mysteries of space are countless. Perhaps by the time you return, the people of this world will already be nothing but dust.

[Hey, you guys are overthinking it. Jumping requires a pre-set portal, or rather, an artificial wormhole. Without a portal, the streamer can't jump even if he wanted to.]

Lu Xuan was not an impulsive person who acted without considering the consequences.

Heeding advice to eat well, he quickly abandoned the plan after discovering the dangers of the leap.

Anyway, there are enough other functions for him to explore for a long time, so he shouldn't do anything reckless.

...

Lu Xuan studied the warship in space until the afternoon of the next day, and after circling the moon and several nearby planets, he returned home with a sense of unfinished business.

As soon as Lu Chen saw him after school, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, where did you go?"

Lu Xuan casually pointed to the sky, "I took a stroll up there."

Lu Chen looked up in confusion. Up there? Did his brother go out for a stroll in his flying vehicle?

Lu Chen tugged at Lu Xuan's arm and said, "Brother, take me with you next time!"

Lu Xuan was about to nod in agreement when he glanced at Lei Yan and Lu Qing, who were eating, and said, "Why don't we all go together?"

Lei Yan and Lu Qing looked up in confusion. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss just to take a stroll in a flying vehicle?

As dawn broke the next day, Lu Xuan led them all to the enormous warship docked in the wilderness, returning them to space and taking them through one exciting activity after another.

The expressions on the three people's faces completely changed.

That evening, the villagers noticed something unusual about the Lu family and couldn't help but wonder.

The women who came to chat with Lu Qing to relieve their boredom noticed that she seemed dazed, as if she had suffered a great shock and couldn't recover, and couldn't help but suspect:

"Could it be that Lei Yan did something to betray Lu Qing because she was pregnant and couldn't have sex with her?"

Wu Yinyin blinked. "Probably not. If Lei Yan dares to wrong Lu Qing, wouldn't Lu Xuan kill him?"

Even with his powerful lightning-based abilities, could Lei Yan still outmaneuver Lu Xuan?

The others nodded in agreement, "Besides, Lei Yan is known to be a good husband to his wife. They never had any problems before they had children, let alone now that Lu Qing is about to give birth."

“The village is only so big, and there are many helpers coming and going. If Lei Yan had done anything abnormal, it would have been discovered long ago.”

"What's wrong with Lu Qing?" Even when they gossiped about her, she didn't react at all, completely absorbed in her own world.

Su Ying lowered her wrist, which was covered by a communicator, and said, "Lei Yan and Lu Qing are in similar situations, both seeming to have been greatly shocked. Rather than the two of them having relationship problems, I suspect that Lu Xuan has pulled out some incredible treasure that has scared them."

When others heard the word "baby," they found it even more strange.

They had already seen many divine treasures, so they felt that they wouldn't be too surprised if Lu Xuan took out something else.

But Lu Qing and Lei Yan, who should have seen more of the world than them, reacted in this way, which aroused their curiosity.

However, neither Lu Qing nor the young men who noticed Lei Yan's unusual behavior were able to get any answers from him.

Lu Xuan did not want the outside world to know about the existence of the warship for the time being.

"If you are interested in warships, I can often take you on trips to space, but don't tell the village for now."

"Forget it, I'd better not go." Lu Qing refused, though she was moved.

Lei Yan also refused Lu Xuan's invitation with a stiff face.

They did learn about planets and space in their natural science classes, but at the time it felt more like listening to legends and stories, and they didn't really grasp the concept.

After experiencing it firsthand, they wouldn't say they felt a fear akin to Lord Ye's love of dragons, but they certainly didn't want to go a second time in the near future.

The feeling of being down-to-earth suits them better.

Lu Chen, the youngest of the group, was the most accepted, perhaps because he was young and fearless.

In short, Lu Xuan would bring Lu Chen with him every time he boarded the ship in the next few days.

While he was learning how to operate the warship, Lu Chen explored the entire massive vessel.

At the same time, news of Lu Xuan obtaining the Star Alliance round-trip teleportation ticket quickly spread on StarBlog, and the interdimensional live streaming forum was flooded with posts.
