Chapter 449 Boarding the Ship
The atmosphere in the square shifted from solemnity to fervor, and then from fervor to a vegetable market on the verge of spiraling out of control.
"G-581 is mine! I am a descendant of Thor, and that planet must be filled with lightning!"
Thor slammed his hammer on the ground, and the ground cracked open in several more places.
"Bullshit! That place has a pleasant climate, suitable for us divine descendants to live in, it should belong to me!"
Marcus, not to be outdone, crackled with electricity, echoing Thor's thunder.
The Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect stroked his beard, his face full of disdain.
“I have no interest in barbarian lands. Once I conquer their main star, I will rebuild my mountain gate there.”
"Haha, old man, you have ambition! I'll guard the door for you then!"
"you!"
Just as an internal conflict involving elite forces worldwide was about to unfold before their departure, Cheng Gan looked at Sun Jiuchou and found that the advisor was watching with great interest, showing no intention of intervening.
"Enough!" Zhou Jue's voice rang out. She took two steps forward, her gaze sweeping over the most boisterous group of "divine descendants" and "ancestors".
"Everyone, board the ship immediately according to the original formation!"
"Army monks, proceed to 'Great Wall' numbers one through six."
"Students and other extraordinary individuals, go to 'Kunlun' No. 1 to No. 6."
Her instructions were clear and devoid of emotion; however, she was met with scattered laughter. Those who had dealt with Zhou Jue before quieted down obediently, while those who did not know him were unrestrained.
A shaman with face painted slowly spoke: "Little girl, we are not your soldiers, you have no right to order us around."
"That's right! We're here to help, not to take orders!"
"We'll let you board the ship, but first we need to clarify the ownership of the planet!"
Commander Qi's face darkened. The "Sharp Sword" special forces members behind her silently raised their psionic rifles, aiming the muzzles at the shouting people.
The atmosphere in the square instantly plummeted to freezing point.
A major battle is about to break out.
"My patience is limited." Zhou Jue's voice was already filled with murderous intent, and he released his aura as he circulated his spiritual power.
"Board the ship."
I'll say it once.
"We'll depart on time in ten minutes."
"Anyone not on board will be treated as a deserter."
“Anyone on board who disobeys orders will be thrown overboard by my own hands.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. In a flash, she appeared on the bridge of the "Great Wall No. 1".
The entire square was deathly silent.
The shaman who had been shouting the loudest just moments before couldn't hide his paleness even with the face paint.
Thor silently pulled the hammer out of the ground and didn't say another word.
The Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect kept his eyes down, seemingly oblivious to everything else, as if nothing had happened.
deserter?
Thrown overboard?
They can take it as a joke when others say it.
But when that woman said it, no one dared to disbelieve her; that woman was truly capable of killing the "god."
"Cough cough."
Sun Jiuchou cleared his throat, walked back to the crowd, and put on his kind smile again.
"Everyone, everyone, don't be so nervous."
He looked around at the “problem children” who had suddenly become incredibly well-behaved, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Regarding the issue of loot distribution that everyone was just discussing, the alliance has already come up with a preliminary plan."
He activated his Kunlun Instrument, and a light screen was projected into the air.
The above is a detailed points redemption table.
Destroy one enemy reconnaissance ship: 10,000 base points.
[Kill an enemy commander: 5000 base points.]
[Providing one Rank A intelligence report: Base score 3000 points.]
[...]
[Priority development rights for planet G-581: 1 million points redeemable.]
[Planet naming rights: Redeemable for 500,000 points.]
[Planet Governor (Captain) Nomination Right: Requires 2 million points and a top-three ranking on the individual battle merit leaderboard.]
"All combat achievements are recorded by the starship's mainframe in a unified manner, updated in real time, openly and transparently, and without deception of the young or old."
Sun Jiuchou pointed at the long list with his folding fan, smiling like a cunning businessman.
"If you want to be the captain, you can."
"Show your skills and earn points!"
"Whoever kills the most enemies and makes the greatest contribution deserves everything."
"Of course, the premise is..."
He paused, his smile becoming meaningful.
"We must follow orders and cooperate in operations."
"Otherwise, let alone points, you might even lose your life."
The square fell silent again, but this time, the air was no longer filled with the smell of gunpowder, but with the sound of eager, ready-to-go breathing.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the points table, their gazes gleaming with calculation.
"Is there any extra reward for the first person to shoot down an enemy ship?" Thor asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, the points will be doubled," Sun Jiuchou answered quickly.
"Alright!" Thor roared, hoisting his hammer and charging first toward the boarding gate of the "Kunlun One": "Don't anyone try to take it from me!"
"Wait for me!"
Marcus transformed into a bolt of lightning and followed closely behind.
The crowd instantly sprang into action.
Thousands of extraordinary individuals from around the world, like a group of sharks smelling blood, rushed toward their warships.
Although the scene was still chaotic, the direction was surprisingly consistent.
Cheng Gan stared in disbelief at everything. She turned to look at Sun Jiuchou, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
"This...this is what you call pre-war mobilization?"
"No."
Sun Jiuchou closed his folding fan and gently tapped his palm.
"This is called performance appraisal, KPI management."
He patted Cheng Gan on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the command ship.
"Let's go, the show's about to begin."
...
Ten minutes later.
The engines of the twelve enormous starships roared to life simultaneously.
The massive ship slowly rose into the air, breaking through the clouds and entering the dark universe.
On the bridge of the "Great Wall-1" warship, outside the huge porthole, the blue planet is rapidly shrinking.
Commander Qi did not follow the fleet. Instead, after seeing these people off, he returned to the command center, stood in front of the command console, and looked at the dots representing the various squads on the screen with a furrowed brow.
In particular, on those ships of the "Kunlun" fleet, the points of light representing those "divine descendants" and "ancestors" scurried around the cabins like headless flies, none of them staying in their designated positions.
"You call this an army?" she asked without turning her head.
Sun Jiuchou sat leisurely on a chair to the side and made himself a cup of tea.
"Commander Qi, don't be so serious."
"This is not an army; it's a pack of wild beasts that have been caged for too long."
He blew on the steam rising from his teacup and watched the blue dot on the screen grow smaller and smaller.
"What we need to do now is not to teach them to follow the rules."
"Instead, we opened the cages, let them out, and then pointed in the direction of the enemy and told them."
"There's meat over there."
