One advantage of becoming a diamond is that it can adapt to the harsh environment of the universe.
Xi Yujin floated in space, pushing away the huge garbage. As he moved, tiny flashes of light reflected from his hair. Most of his appearance was normal human color, except for his hair, which had a very obvious mineral texture. If he shook his head violently, it would make a crisp sound of water hitting stone. Under his body, the light and heat of the planet's core flowed like blood vessels, giving his whole body power.
The new body looks so expensive.
If it were to be smashed by other creatures, there would be a stellar explosion on the spot, right?
Xi Yujin couldn't stop his wild thoughts.
He shuttled through the garbage dump and finally found the black box he had used before.
From a human perspective, these objects are extremely large. The black box is as long as a building, and it is completely black, with no seams on the surface. Only a few concave red and blue light tubes show that it is working.
"The black box is a must-have prop for opening a vest, so be sure to bring it with you."
Xi Yujin had learned before that account verification in other galaxies was much more rigorous than here.
He continued to search the garbage dump for good stuff, picking up the electronic screen and radio he had used before. He also stuffed the "Universe Travel Guide" that had helped him at the beginning into the rag bag. He also had some sturdy ropes to string all the larger props together and then lead them away.
Turning on the radio, Xi Yujin followed the method shared by the flute player to find a nearby shopping channel.
He found a "Shanshi Radio Station" that he had never heard of. It was said to be built on a nearby mine and it also had many spaceships for sale. One of the second-hand mining-type small spaceships was particularly eye-catching. It had a strong load capacity and certain defense functions. It was also easy to operate and could be used in three minutes. It could be driven automatically, and several fixed routes were already loaded into the star map.
Its mining function has been scrapped, leaving only the mediocre sailing function, so the seller chooses to sell it at a low price and also gives away painting props so that buyers can enjoy the fun of DIY.
DIY your own spaceship!
Xi Yujin was very excited when he saw the gift, and after sending text messages to confirm several times, he bought the spaceship with 80,000 dust sands. This left him with more than 40,000 dust sands, which he might need in the future.
The transaction was successful. Xi Yujin floated out of the garbage dump with the huge black box and followed the simple navigation to the pickup point. He was about to truly begin his interstellar journey.
Behind him, the endless space garbage stretched out like a sand dune with no end in sight. No living creature could tell that there had once been a planet hiding here.
…
Hillstone Radio.
"Celebrate, guys, we just swindled our first customer!"
"Haha, if we can't be space pirates, we can commit telecom fraud. We are really talented in doing bad things."
"Just imagine, when this customer goes to the pick-up point and finds out that he's been cheated, how ridiculous will his expression be? Hahahaha!"
There was laughter and joy in the spaceship.
The pirates who changed their jobs on the spot decided to discuss a new code of conduct and elect a new leader. At this moment, the cheerful atmosphere immediately turned into a turbulent tide, and everyone's skin flushed as they all wanted to be the leader.
Therefore, no one noticed the alarm coming from the front of the spacecraft.
When the alarm sounded more and more shrill, the pirates stopped arguing and turned to look out the porthole, searching for suspicious enemy figures.
A former space pirate and current telecom fraudster hesitated and asked, "The one moving at high speed... does it represent the Zerg?"
The pirates were all terrified. The next second, a lotus blossomed in layers in the space in front of the spaceship, and the spaceship was pushed a distance away. The heavy armor that suddenly appeared in front of them confirmed the most terrifying conjecture. The pirates in the spaceship were so scared that their faces were distorted, and they desperately shouted the last scream:
"No!!!"
…
"Begin the search."
The Zerg held down the emptied mining ship and looked at where to start dismantling it. His name was Ganuo, and he had been wandering here for so long these days just to find his lost weapons. However, there were too many pirates, and the Zerg technology was difficult to recognize, so he could only search one by one.
As for how much chaos it caused, and even the rumors that "the Zerg are going to start a second interstellar war", he didn't care at all.
In the distance, a humanoid creature was coming over with a large pile of luggage.
What was a little strange was that when the humanoid creature saw him, it not only did not dodge, but instead increased its speed and floated towards him. This creature was exposed to the space environment without any protective measures, so he needed to be careful.
Realizing that the other party seemed to have locked onto him, he did not dismantle the boat immediately, but waited quietly.
The creature was getting closer and closer, and Gano realized that it looked a bit like his own species. He searched the database, but didn't find any useful information, so he raised his alert level slightly.
The creature kept moving forward.
He had no choice but to move away from the spaceship and unfold the light wings behind him into their full form, which was a signal of neutrality in war.
Using courtesy before force is the war virtue of his race.
The creature kept moving forward.
We have entered the neutral communication range designated for the war.
The creature is advancing...
He could see the other person's face clearly. Even though he was a Zerg, he looked exceptionally outstanding. There were also tiny flashes of light from time to time, making him look like a mineral race.
When the creature was about to float to the border of the neutral communication range, Ganuo suddenly stepped back and warned in a cold voice:
"Don't come near me."
"ah?"
Xi Yujin, who was very excited, braked just in time. The black box and other heavy objects behind him floated from behind him to above his head.
In the boundless and silent space, the two creatures were looking at each other from a distance of dozens of meters.
Xi Yujin grabbed the rope of the luggage and shouted, "Hello, I am the buyer of item number 215." He looked at the spaceship beside the Zerg, and his eyes lit up again.
He made several plans before he came to pick up the goods, such as what to do if he was cheated or encountered escaped space pirates. Fortunately, he was lucky in this transaction. He arrived at the transaction location safely, and the one who delivered the goods turned out to be the kind creature who had saved him before. Xi Yujin had learned from the radio that it was the Zerg.
In the "Cosmic Travel Guide", there are very few records about the Zerg. It is rumored that they have three genders, the star field is closed, and the class system is strict. No creature knows which gender appears on the battlefield, and no creature has read Zerg novels, as if they don't need novels to cure their mental confusion.
Before, Xi Yujin saw the Zerg from the perspective of a planet, which made it seem a little unreal. Now, it looked even taller, about four meters tall with full armor and light wings. The armor was roughly of medieval style, with waves of air constantly flowing over its surface, and its limbs were specialized into sharp knife-like shapes. It was not like a mecha that was loaded with various weapons, but it had gone through a long history, and was majestic and rich in heritage.
I kind of want to touch it...
But the Zerg seem to pay great attention to social distance, so it’s better not to show such presumptuous thoughts.
Xi Yujin pulled the electronic screen over, pulled out his purchase certificate, and continued to look at the spaceship behind the Zerg. If he couldn't touch the armor, could he not touch the spaceship?
Faced with the creature's actions, Gano was speechless for a moment.
He knew that the pirates stole the vagrants' belongings all day long, so it was reasonable for the pirates to occupy the creature's spaceship. The other party had complete documents, so it could be deduced that the spaceship belonged to the other party.
Ganuo usually wouldn't destroy other people's property at will, so where did his weapon go? The clues were broken again, and Ganuo could only hover in place and think.
Just at the moment when he was distracted, Xi Yujin had already crossed the "neutral communication distance" with the luggage and was slowly floating towards the spaceship.
Ganuo's inner alarm sounded, and his light wings increased in power and unfolded. But before he could make the next move, Xi Yujin floated straight towards the spaceship. When they were closest in a straight line, Xi Yujin secretly glanced at the Zerg and met Ganuo's eyes under the armor. His eyes were very focused, as if he was looking at some treasure. Ganuo thought for a while, and slowly folded his light wings.
After a while, Ganuo remembered that one could not see inside from the outside, so Xi Yujin was just looking at the armor.
What a strange creature.
On the other side, Xi Yujin finally stood safely in front of the small mining ship. Although it was called small, it was actually as big as three football fields, enough to fit Xi Yujin's most important black box. There were many messy posters on the surface of the mining ship, which looked unattractive. But Xi Yujin didn't mind, because the buyer gave him a painting prop as a gift. And when shopping online, you have to be prepared for the product to be different from the real thing.
Xi Yujin placed his hand on the outer wall of the ship and tried to scan it with his mental power. After he turned into a human, his mental power was much less, but he could control it more precisely.
The mental power gradually permeated the entire mining ship, feeding back the internal structure to Xi Yujin.
The spaceship was a bit messy, and the promised escape pods were all gone, but the seller had obviously given away more things, so Xi Yujin didn't worry about it.
He quickly stuffed the black box in, carefully examining the appearance of the spacecraft, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Climbing up along the outer wall, and circling a full circle, Xi Yujin saw the Zerg not far away. He wanted to communicate with them, but unfortunately his nomadic spoken English was not very good, and he had practiced the sentence he said before for a long time.
Xi Yujin continued to check the spacecraft and found that the mining probe of this mining ship was still working. He could only fumble to retract this part. As the chain gradually tightened the turntable, they all saw clearly that there was a strange-looking big sword tied to the end of the probe.
Gano finally moved, grabbed the sword, and said, "The search was successful, this is mine."
"Then take it yourself?" Xi Yujin floated near the probe, and now they were closer. He said, "Or is it tied with a knot? But I don't know how to untie it."
Gano hesitated for a moment, then gently broke off the sword, and the broken probe flew into the depths of the universe.
He looked at the damaged parts, then at the owner of the spaceship, Xi Yujin, and remained silent.
Xi Yujin felt that he understood the silence and said, "What's the big deal? I don't use this part anyway, it would be better if it can be uninstalled." In his heart, he thought that it was a mistake not to pick up a weapon just now.
Xi Yujin was busy running around, and finally managed to load all the luggage into the spaceship, and also cleared out a batch of garbage.
After Gano equipped his weapons, it was time to leave. As soon as he made the move to leave, the master of the spaceship floated out of the window and said goodbye to him in words he could not understand:
"goodbye--"
The man with the glitter on his body waved at him and said a bizarre blessing:
"Hopefully we'll meet a third time."
I don't understand.
Ganuo could only put this matter in his memo, maybe one day he would figure it out.
…
Xi Yujin now has a spaceship of his own!
He flew around the cabin excitedly, touching everything and exclaiming in amazement at every new technology he saw. The mining ship is structured like a horizontal "8", with the left and right cabins divided into front and back. The back is a large warehouse, and the front is a functional area, including many undecorated empty rooms. The black box is placed in the warehouse on the left. There are sightseeing elevators in different directions in the spacecraft that can go directly to each floor. You can see that the main color is simple silver-white. In the middle is the most important cockpit.
Xi Yujin floated into the cockpit, bypassing the complex and flashing instruments, turned on the radio, connected the electronic screen, and wanted to tell Xindi Radio that he had bought the spaceship he liked.
Thinking about encountering many creatures here and sailing to deeper parts of the universe on this spacecraft in the future, nervousness, reluctance, excitement... all kinds of complex emotions surged into my heart.
Xi Yujin tried to calm himself down and added his own questions in the email:
"If I leave here, will the Edge of the Universe radio station still receive my new book?"
"Have you decided to leave the edge of the universe? That's right, it's too boring here. Are you asking about our signal connection? Most of our radio stations rely on the signal transmission of the black box in the Pangshi Galaxy, and the Pangshi Galaxy can also connect with the black boxes in other galaxies, so as long as it can be transmitted to the Pangshi Galaxy, we can hear your book here."
Xi Yujin breathed a sigh of relief. He still hoped that something would remind him that he had been here. His work would become his anchor in this universe, so that he would no longer be afraid of the unknown.
"Panshi Galaxy?"
Xi Yujin found this fixed route on the autopilot star map in the cockpit.
"Then let's go there for the next stop."
He set the relevant buttons, leaned back, and sank into the soft seat. The window in front of him revealed the entire black universe, silently welcoming his exploration.
After looking at the same scenery for a long time, he felt a bit bored, so he went to study the "Spacecraft Standard Manual Driving Mode Tutorial" given by Xinti Radio.
It seems like I forgot something...
By the way, you have to name your spaceship!
