Chapter 113
In the vast universe, countless stars formed a magnificent and dreamy background.
Two mechas, one black and one silver, stood facing each other. The people in the spaceship crowded at the window, staring at them eagerly, and the sound of fragmented discussions continued to be heard.
"How did the boss get out?"
"I don't know."
"Just catch his runaway lover and lock him up in a golden cage for a few months. He will have nowhere to escape and no one to rely on. I guarantee that he will be completely subdued."
"Hey! Third brother, it's okay if you say this in front of us, but don't be so blind as to say it to the boss, or he will sew your mouth shut." "
..." The big guy shuddered suddenly, "Damn! Is it that serious?"
The man sighed softly, "The boss is a love-brained person."
Everyone: "..." Are you talking about Ian Hyde, the petty and vindictive person who kicked over the previous boss when he became an adult and deliberately tortured him 19 times before stabbing him to death?
The man lit up the cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and nodded sincerely: "Trust me, I promise it's right."
"..."
Compared to the happy and relaxed Star Pirates, the people on the other side were already in a mess.
"What is Master Xia going out for?"
"Boss." The mercenary asked in a low voice, "Should we go out and cover the young master secretly, and take the opportunity..." He made a killing gesture on his neck.
"Kill the leader of the pirates, they are leaderless, and we have a chance of survival."
The man stroked the space button where he stored his mecha, and a bit of struggle appeared on his resolute and serious face. Finally, he made a decision: "Young Master, let us stay here and wait."
"But--"
"We are mercenaries, and we should not disobey the orders of our employers." The man interrupted him, "Young Master took the initiative to apply for a 1V1 with the enemy leader. As long as he wins, the pirate group will unconditionally let everyone go."
He raised his voice so that everyone could hear his voice.
Those who were sobbing, writing wills, and praying to God for blessings... All of them, at this moment, all looked at the leader of the mercenaries at the same time.
"He said he was a soldier and should protect the people."
It was a casual remark, without any elaborate and beautiful embellishments or passionate oaths... just military propaganda language that can be seen everywhere.
But at this critical moment, it makes people feel its deep weight.
The maintenance team and servants also liked Xia Yan before. Although he had a bad temper and liked to torment people, he was an extremely beautiful woman, and even when he was arrogant and angry, he was as beautiful as a rich and colorful oil painting.
They liked him, but they didn't think he was suitable to be king.
The humble and decent Grover was more in line with their imagination of a king, dignified and noble, and his emotions were not revealed on his face.
But at this moment, the young man stood up for them, risking his life, just to protect the civilians... The young nobleman who seemed arrogant and looked down on the civilians actually had a burning and kind soul.
They were extremely ashamed of their past thoughts.
The deputy captain covered his face and whispered: "But he... is just a student, he is still so young, he should be protected by adults..."
The crew members bowed their heads in shame.
Who among them is not older than Xia Yan? In the end, they had to rely on him for protection.
"Damn it, let the pirates kill me." A girl stood up and cursed, "I have lived for more than 200 years, and I have enjoyed everything in life. You can take Master Xia and run away."
"Yeah... With so many mechas protecting him, he should be able to run away."
"..."
A group of people discussed in a low voice.
The method of running away in a mecha seems credible, but it is actually very dangerous. Even if you are lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the pirates, once you hit a wormhole or a meteorite, you will die.
The leader did not point this out, but just said: "He wants to protect you."
"..."
"Since he chose to duel, he must have his own plan, we have to believe him." The leader continued to speak for Xia Yan, "After all... he has always been the first."
In the last paragraph, his voice was very low, and only he could hear it.
Does Xia Yan have a plan?
Barely... I think so.
First of all, this is the world of a novel.
According to the plot analysis given by the system, the protagonist is clearly loved and hated by Ian. Even though he became a star pirate, he did not kill innocent people, so he was able to be with Ludwig, the emperor, in the end.
Otherwise, the two sides are separated by a blood feud, and it would be a bloody and abusive article.
Secondly, Ian still likes him now.
Even though he knew he was a 'scumbag', the feeling of liking him was not something that could be erased immediately. It took some time to digest and accept the facts.
When facing a person he liked, he would definitely hesitate in a duel, and his chance of winning would naturally increase.
Finally, the protagonist was a mecha designer.
He spent most of his energy on drawing, and it was inevitable that he was lacking in combat. When the two of them fought in the holographic world before, their winning rates were 50-50.
Based on the above, Xia Yan dared to propose a duel.
Ahem... Anyway, it wouldn't get any worse if he tried.
"Do you really want to compete with me?" Ian called.
Xia Yan adjusted the mecha slowly. He raised his eyebrows. His peach blossom eyes seemed affectionate, but in fact they were cold: "Are you scared now?"
"Yan Yan, I really don't want to be your enemy."
At this time, Ian removed all his disguises.
The naturally curly red hair rests softly on the forehead, the emerald green eyes are like the finest jade, the upturned cat eyes are somewhat charming, and the baby face looks very young and cute.
He likes to act coquettishly: "Brother Xia Yan, please don't break up with me."
"..."
"I really like you, don't you want to be king? As long as you are with me, how about I help you get rid of Grover?" He said with a smile, "It's a good deal, right?"
"It really sounds exciting."
"Then let's--" make peace.
"I don't accept any threats." The young man sneered, "It's just a Grover, I can handle it myself, there's no need for you to intervene."
Ian blinked: "I like my brother's confidence, but Grover seems to have the upper hand. The families that surrounded you before were all beaten and left. Is it okay?"
In the end, it all belongs to Ludwig. He and Grover are the two losers.
Ian is really good at tempting people.
If it was the original owner, he might give in temporarily, and then find a way to get rid of him after squeezing Ian dry. But Xia Yan...he must break up.
Xia Yan was filled with grief, his face was cold as frost: "Don't waste your time, just do it."
"..." The young man scratched his hair and whispered, "No... your personality should accept it..." Could it be that his original appearance made him unacceptable?
He picked up the mirror. He
obviously looks better than the one in the holographic world!
The person he sculpted in the holographic world looks 50% similar to himself, but he is shorter, only 1.75 meters tall, which is quite different from his current 1.86 meters.
"Brother, you--" Ian was silent for a moment, and in the young man's puzzled eyes, he slowly uttered the next sentence, "Is it because I am taller than you, and you are embarrassed to stand next to me?"
Xia Yan, who is 1.81 meters tall: "..."
He is 1.81 meters tall!!!
1.81 meters!!!
It is obviously you interstellar people who are overdeveloped! ! ! ! !
A bunch of words popped up in Xia Yan's mind, and he couldn't help asking the system in the end: [I remember that my character is a scumbag top.]
[Yeah.]
[Then why is the protagonist bottom taller than me?]
The system quickly flipped through the plot and whispered; [You are taller than him in the holographic world.]
[……]
[There is also this paragraph, which says that the protagonist bottom entered the Central Military Academy and was disappointed with you because of your height after meeting you in person.] System, [He didn't expect that he would fall in love with someone shorter than himself.]
Xia Yan: [……] The original owner of the holographic world didn't adjust his height, what is Ian surprised about!
In short, the original owner was just a tool to help the protagonist top and bottom get to know each other.
No more nonsense, Xia Yan controlled the mecha and attacked the protagonist bottom.
His mecha was built by the Xia family at great expense, and every detail was perfect. It was much easier to use than the mecha in the holographic world.
Ian himself was a mecha master, so his mecha would naturally not be bad.
As soon as both sides attacked, they could roughly figure out the situation.
Xia Yan's attack was fierce and fierce, and his movements were clean and neat, without wasting a second. Ian's body movements were ghostly, and the killing skills he learned among the star pirates were not weak at all.
Since the two sides had fought many times before and were familiar with each other, the battle situation was tense for a while.
The people in the spaceship couldn't help holding their breath and praying for Xia Yan in their hearts.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes... half an hour passed.
No one won.
The leader frowned and was very worried.
The mechas have limited energy, and they fought fiercely. In the end, it is very likely to be a draw. If the pirates don't let them go, they will go back to their old ways.
Should they listen to their subordinates' advice and launch a sneak attack?
But... if they take action, the pirates on the opposite side will not just watch...
Just as he hesitated, the battle situation in the air finally changed. The silver-white mecha, facing the lightsaber on the opposite side without avoiding it, rushed straight up...
That position was right at the door of the cabin. If it penetrated, the driver would inevitably be injured.
"Master Xia..."
"No."
The leader said, "He wants to risk getting hurt to destroy the other party's energy warehouse and prepare the medical warehouse."
"Yes... wait, boss, it seems that we don't need to..."
"What?"
"The pirate took back the lightsaber..." The man looked out the window and spoke blankly.
Ian felt very wronged. What was wrong with him to Xia Yan? He was willing to use her, so why would he break up even if he was injured?
The moment the other party bumped into him.
His mind was blank, he couldn't think of anything, and subconsciously didn't want to hurt him, until his energy warehouse was bombed and the mecha issued a red warning, he came back to his senses: "Yan Yan."
"I won." The young man said directly, "According to the agreement, you have to let us go."
"...I know." Ian bit his lower lip hard. He had a lot to say, but he didn't say the last sentence. He just lay listlessly on the control console.
Xia Yan looked at him and felt a sense of déjà vu.
Where have I seen him before?
He controlled the mecha to fly towards the spaceship and entered the cabin door to the cheers of the crowd. After a long time, a vague shadow suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Wow! System, Ian's curly hair looks like Chu Zizhe in the first world. ]
The man who liked to act coquettishly when chatting up in the bar.
The personality is also very similar.
System: [Really?] It has almost forgotten about the unimportant people.
Xia Yan nodded affirmatively.
"The Pirates' Gang has lifted the signal shielding, and the message can be sent out."
Someone exclaimed. At the same time, Xia Yan's brain vibrated with a message reminder. He clicked it and saw a message from Ian: [I won't give up. See you next week.]
Xia Yan: [...] He should... not give up revenge... Never mind, he himself can't say it's revenge against his conscience.
He clicked on the system's task panel.
According to the analysis of the first two worlds, there are generally seven tasks.
He has completed three. Task four, defeating Huo Ruihe and task five, participating in the mecha league, will only take a short time to complete. There are still two tasks that have not been refreshed.
According to the plot, only the small part of the league is left, which should not be too difficult.
Wait until he completes the mission and then run away.
As for whether the protagonist and the shou fall in love or not... it doesn't matter, as long as the world doesn't collapse... probably... I don't know why, Xia Yan always has the illusion that the plot has collapsed and the sideline mission of saving the world will definitely appear.
The spaceship started tremblingly, and the young man didn't think about it anymore. He watched the pirate group behind him getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.
