As Arnold Percy's son, Oakland enjoyed some privileges. He ate and drank better than his peers, and his workspace was a private workshop with a sophisticated bedroom where he could rest and sleep without interruption. Arnold's requirement was two mecha storage boxes a day, and as long as he completed his assigned tasks, he could do whatever he wanted without interference.
Auckland used his spiritual sense to sense the entire room. Except for the surveillance camera at the door, there was no surveillance camera inside the room. Here he could do whatever he wanted.
Jason also returned his optical computer to him, but the entire dark star field was signal-blocked, so he had no way of connecting to the Federation's star network, but he could connect to the dark web.
"Then how can I connect to the Star Network?" If he couldn't connect to the Star Network, how could he communicate with General Williams on the Capital Planet? Could he even teleport across light years? That was a magical power only possessed by Yuanying ancestors. He was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator at that level, and he couldn't achieve that level yet.
Jason didn't harbor any suspicions. After all, Ivan's appearance was quite deceptive. What kind of trouble could a well-behaved and incompetent heraldry master cause? Furthermore, he was Arnold Percy's biological son.
"If you want to connect to the star network, the team leader must personally turn off the blocker. But now is an emergency, so forget it. I can give you a dark web passcode. If you feel bored, you can go to the dark web and have a look." The dark web passcode is the only identifier for logging into the dark web, which is equivalent to an identity number on the dark web.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Oakland naturally would not refuse. He now needed to learn more about everything in this star field and find out the details of the pirates so that he could successfully catch the pirates and Arnold Percy in one fell swoop!
Of course, Ivan's optical brain Oakland was unusable, so he threw the optical brain into the storage ring, replaced it with his own, and then used the dark web passcode Jason gave him to connect to the dark web. His name was displayed as a string of meaningless letters and numbers, which played a completely anonymous role. However, once he used this passcode to do anything out of the ordinary, the people who managed the dark web system would immediately trace it back to him. These pirates were quite smart.
The channels on the dark web are very simple, with only three pages: shopping, entertainment, and auctions.
When he clicked on the shopping page, he found it was divided into two modes: consignment and purchase. The consignment page had all sorts of strange things: nutrient solution, repair fluid, used emblems, exotic beast meat, and he even saw someone selling a giraffe... The prices were clearly marked, and you could just click and buy. It was very convenient. The purchase interface was relatively simple. He saw that the first few pages were all for mecha storage boxes, while the next few pages were more for various emblems above rank C. The prices were also clearly marked. If you thought the price was right, you clicked the delivery function, and a small unmanned aerial vehicle would come to pick up the goods and deliver them to the buyer. Once the other party signed for them, the money would be immediately deposited into the seller's account. It was quite convenient.
The entertainment page is quite violent, almost entirely filled with various paid videos, including combat videos, eye-watering adult videos, and song and dance videos. These video shows can be watched live for a fee, giving people a very different experience. But after all, it's not holographic, so if you're not satisfied with this experience, you can pay more to experience it live... It seems that the people in the Dark Star Region have a very rich nightlife...
Next up was the auction page. Every Saturday evening at 7:00 PM, a live auction took place. This page would scroll through the next auction, showing viewers what was up for grabs. Auckland glanced at the items going up for auction tonight and was blown away. There were beautiful mermaid sisters, golden men from a golden planet, and even starship wreckage—presumably all the loot these pirates had plundered. It was a riot of stuff!
Suddenly, he saw a magical thing. It was a round bead with a light red color and a dull surface. At first glance, there was nothing special about it, but Auckland felt that it was very unusual. The starting price was 200,000 federal coins.
He thought he might need to go to the scene to take a look...
Since he wanted to leave, he had to satisfy Arnold. He knew Arnold's kind of person. After he showed his value, Arnold would be very tolerant of him. He believed that as long as he completed the tasks assigned by Arnold, he would not refuse some reasonable requests he made.
So Auckland picked up the magic crystal pen and began to carve on the box made of energy plates according to the instructional video Arnold had given him. The instructional video was recorded by Susan, and this was the first time Auckland saw Susan's appearance. She looked to be around thirty years old and quite pretty, with flaxen hair hanging down to her shoulders. She seemed gentle and harmless, but in fact she was a very ambitious woman, otherwise she would never have colluded with someone like Arnold.
The so-called spatial magic patterns were actually an evolution of spatial spiritual formations. These foolish future people didn't understand how to use spiritual energy or the true application of formations. They simply melted spirit stones into metal to create energy plates, then used their mental power to stimulate the spiritual energy within, forcing the formation to operate. Normally, spiritual formations are powered by placing spirit stones at the center of the formation, which can be replaced at any time to ensure the formation's endless vitality. However, these foolish future people had turned it into a single-use spatial device. Once the spiritual energy within was exhausted, the box would be completely useless.
Oakland could already imagine the scene where these pirates, carrying their mecha storage boxes, were fighting in space, and the boxes suddenly ran out of energy, and all the mechas jumped out at once, squeezing the battleship to pieces...
It's really stupid.
However, the space he opened up with his spiritual sense would not have this problem. Otherwise, wouldn't the monks have to worry all day about their storage bags suddenly exploding?
If the leader of the Blood Moon Pirates knew about this huge drawback, he would probably reconsider his cooperation plan with Arnold Percy, right?
Wow, it seems that the price of the storage jewelry I made can be raised even more. After all, the space in it is permanent.
But now, Auckland would never say this. He still used the magic crystal pen to carve on the bottom of the box as demonstrated in the instruction video.
When the pen tip lands on the bottom of the box, it is no different from carving on the energy plate. It is just restricted by the edge of the box, and the space for wrist movement is limited. If you are not a very skilled herald, you will probably be affected to a certain extent.
Auckland's speed was very fast. The two boxes were completed in less than an hour.
He stretched and walked into the bedroom, where he saw a small ball of black fur lying on the white sheets, looking very conspicuous. In the little ball's arms was a spiritual stone, and spiritual energy slowly entered his body with his breathing. He really could practice even in his sleep!
Auckland pinched Hall's little paws with a little jealousy. The furry fan, whose sleep was disturbed, waved his little paws in a daze, smacked his lips twice, and went back to sleep.
That little look is so cute.
Auckland held the fur ball in his arms and lay down on the bed to sleep together. He hadn't been able to tell the difference between day and night on the mining planet these past few days and hadn't slept well. It was time to catch up on some sleep.
Auckland slept until six in the evening and woke up when someone knocked on the door. Because the days on this planet are short and the nights are long, the daytime starts at twelve o'clock and lasts until four o'clock in the afternoon, which is only four hours. So once it gets dark, he has to rely on the light computer to know the time.
The visitor turned out to be Arnold Percy himself. He had come to deliver tonight's nutrient solution to Ivan, along with a bottle of the same drink he'd had in his office. He was also there to inspect Auckland's work. Upon seeing the two completed mecha storage boxes on the table, Arnold revealed a look of satisfaction.
"You are worthy of being my son. I knew you could do it." He made two mecha storage boxes in just half a day. This son is indeed useful.
Auckland just smiled and said nothing.
"If you're bored, you can go out for a walk, but you have to have someone accompany you. I see you and Jason get along pretty well, so why not let him take you around when you need him?"
"Okay, thank you, Dad." It was like someone brought him a pillow just when he was sleepy. Before he even opened his mouth to ask, Arnold gave him permission to go out. He didn't know if Arnold wanted to show how much he valued Ivan and that's why he treated him so well. Anyway, as long as he could achieve his goal, it was good enough.
