Chapter 102 The Major General Used as Cannon Fodder (13)



Although killing is illegal in the interstellar era, this has clearly reached a point of life or death. It would be foolish not to take action now. Rather than letting the male lead roam around and jump out from time to time, it's better to strike first.

...It seems they didn't strike first. It's just that Xavier started it all, so they shouldn't blame others for doing the opposite.

However, 001 was still very curious about Xavier's path of courting death in his past and present lives, so he encouraged Di Xiu to ask him a few questions.

"See? I told you he was just jealous of you." 001 didn't show much emotion to Xavier, hanging his head and looking at Di Xiu with a smug expression.

Di Xiu raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up to show his attitude.

001, feeling affirmed, became even more smug. She gently tugged at his hair twice and laughed like a goose: "Little Xiu Xiu, you can actually play word games! You said you'd help him get rid of his pursuers, and he actually thought you were planning to save him? He's too naive."

"But you're really something, actually thinking of using the StarNet to project your divine sense and even manage to kill someone."

This world has holographic games, which combine early-stage mental training methods, connecting mental energy to the StarNet through specific devices. They can control characters in the game to kill monsters and "people," but that doesn't mean they can actually use their mental energy to cross the StarNet and kill people.

Di Xiu wasn't sure if he was being praised, so he reached out and ruffled the man's hair, saying sincerely, "You're amazing too."

001, having his head touched, squinted and enjoyed it for a while, then boldly touched it back, chuckling, "In the StarNet world, who can compare to me? Even the Matrix could be crippled by me."

"Yes, you're the best."

001 felt embarrassed by the praise, glanced at the time, and stopped the conversation: "Okay, you must be quite exhausted too, so you should take a rest. At this rate, we should arrive in about ten hours."

"Um."

When the starship arrived at Ralph, notification sounds rang out in each zone, and the transparent covers on the row of rest pods popped open one by one. The people inside, after regaining their senses, immediately jumped out and put on their equipment.

001 glanced at the latest news on the StarNet, pursed his lips, and said with a hint of helplessness, "If school had started a few days later, you wouldn't have needed to come here."

"It's okay, we have plenty of time, let's go."

The starship hovered in outer space, while smaller spaceships emerged from its bottom, carrying soldiers through the atmosphere.

Looking down at this planet from outer space, less than 15% of it is green, and this 15% is where the new students of the Imperial Military Academy take their exams.

The person in charge of the command was the vice president of the school's military academy. When the distance to the ground was still 300 kilometers, the instrument in front of him was activated. At this altitude, it could connect to the land-based probe.

After fiddling with the detectors for a moment, the vice dean said, "Two detectors have malfunctioned. Major General Shen and Major General Mo, you two are responsible for replacing them with new ones. I have sent the location to your personal computers... According to the data returned by the remaining detectors, the intermediate-level Zerg are exceeding the threshold by about 3%, the low-level Zerg are exceeding it by more than 14%, and at least two high-level Zerg have also appeared. All of them must be dealt with."

Everyone quickly estimated the average workload. They were only slightly concerned about the two advanced Zerg, but not worried at all.

There were only two, and they were on Ralph Planet.

After the vice dean assigned the tasks, the spaceship was less than 10,000 meters above the ground. Di Xiu and Mo Shao went over to get a piece of equipment, put it into the space button, and after landing, they followed the navigation of the light brain to the target point.

The Zerg prefer energy-rich ores, but the Zerg kept here have no ores to eat. Humans prefer these things even more, so they have to change their diet. As a result, even with annual maintenance, the already sparse green ground of Ralph always has huge bald patches.

While casually thinking, Di Xiu moved quickly, his particle gun constantly changing direction as it shot towards the insectoids who came out smelling human scent.

He spread his divine sense and discovered a high-level insectoid being 1,400 meters away from him.

Advanced Zerg refers to beings whose intelligence has reached at least the level of a ten-year-old human child, and who have developed a sparse amount of mental energy. In the outside world, an advanced Zerg would be at least equivalent to a level six human evolver, but on Ralph Planet, it was merely an accidental evolutionary event that left it with no chance to grow into a mere novice.

The little worm was greedily staring at the two soldiers, drooling, and quietly raised its mantis-like forelegs, unaware that the latter had also prepared their weapons...

He extended his divine sense across the entire continent and discovered an unexpected third advanced Zerg. Zerg have diverse characteristics, and this one could use infrasound to interfere with the detector, thus achieving the effect of "invisibility," keeping it half a continent away from him.

The detector that Di Xiu was in charge of was embedded in a dead tree, but some of the Zerg were probably starving, or they sensed the energy fluctuations inside, and they ate the detector along with the dead tree.

He dealt with the attacking Zerg, buried the new probe underground within a half-meter radius, and then placed it on top of an ordinary rock that the Zerg didn't particularly like.

This step is complete; the next step is to control the number of Zerg.

This was a piece of cake. Ten days later, everyone completed the mission. Di Xiu also took a detour to deal with the third advanced insectoid, and then returned to the mothership for a short rest, beginning to wait for the arrival of the newborn.

Judging by the time, school should be starting soon. Freshmen usually arrive on Ralph Star around July 15th. Bored, Di Xiu studied all the weapons he could get his hands on, disassembling and reassembling them repeatedly. He even began to study the various high-energy shells on the starship using his divine sense.

001 watched the female lead's concert remotely. Unlike the excited fans at the scene, he remained expressionless throughout, occasionally muttering a few words. Overall, his comments were more critical than positive, because he felt that the female lead's emotions and skills were not as good as the original singer's. He even dragged Di Xiu along to give his critique.

The concert is over, time for the interview.

When the tactless media asked her about her relationship with Xavier, whether it was a genuine expression of emotion or the professionalism of an actress, she perfectly portrayed a character who both loved and hated her boyfriend after discovering he was a scumbag, wavering for a while before firmly choosing justice.

Seeing the eldest prince holding a large bouquet of technologically grown red roses and publicly pressuring her to marry him, 001 turned off the video.
