Chapter 106 Star Region Tournament Second Round (15)
"Oh oh oh oh oh!! This is General Ming Zhuofeng's exclusive battleship Poseidon!" the plush rabbit shouted.
"Through computer simulation and restoration, it was placed near Space Station No. 1 and appeared due to a colorful trigger!"
"It simulates the grand spectacle of the Poseidon's main gun firing at 100% power!—"
"I never expected the competition committee to actually use a computer-simulated starship in front of this space station! I can't even tell if the simulated Poseidon is easier or more difficult than the gatekeepers at other space stations!"
"As we all know, even in the interstellar age, simulation systems are still far less flexible than real-life operations. But this shot from the Poseidon... based on its equipment data during its heyday, this shot had the power to destroy a small planet!"
"I wonder how the Colorful... Colorful starship, which is about to crash, is going to break through this blockade and enter Space Station One?!"
As the voyage time increases, the unrepaired starship becomes increasingly damaged.
In the black starry sky, the tilt angle of the colorful starship became larger again as another engine was extinguished.
Without the lift engines, the starship's altitude gain became incredibly difficult. Given the starship's current state, there was no way they could dodge the incoming energy beams. Even before the starship was destroyed, such a beam attack would have been difficult to completely dodge.
Its diameter was nearly the same as the space station before it. As it pierced the darkness, it practically dyed the entire universe a sea of blue. Before it, the vibrant colors were but a shattered boat, destined to be submerged by the surging waves.
Even if someone has no interest in star navigation and knows nothing about starship driving, just by taking a look at the live broadcast, they can be sure that the dilapidated starship cannot possibly survive the massive artillery fire ahead.
The silver starship, which was severely damaged and had a mottled and charred hull, did not make any evasive moves.
Mingyu and Mu Baixing knew, like everyone else, that their starship could not survive this barrage of fire.
Even with Mingyu and Mu Boxing's mental shields, they could only withstand the Poseidon's terrifying fire for less than a minute. However, their starship was too damaged to cross this universe in less than a minute.
But that doesn't mean they are powerless.
The speed of a large starship was limited by its size. However, if the flying device that flew through the deep blue fire was much smaller than their starship and could be launched at a speed far greater than the starship's current speed...
Then everything will be different!
It doesn't take a minute to travel! Not even half a minute! Just ten seconds—
"Colorful hasn't given up! They've raised the main gun's muzzle!" the rabbit commentator shouted. "It seems the main gun's muzzle valve has undergone another change! This time... they've even changed the shape of the muzzle?!"
The mechanical muzzle rotated, and the original strip-shaped muzzle was retracted into the interior of the starship and hidden. The new circular opening barrel protruded outward, with the same inner and outer ring arrangement as the strip-shaped muzzle, but the inner ring of this muzzle was hollow, and it was not connected to any energy line.
As the mechanical gears inside the starship turned, the information insertion plugs at the bottom of the starship were moved up layer by layer and embedded seamlessly into the special launch cabin located behind the main gun muzzle.
"Main gun fire!" Mingyu shouted, "Brother Mu! Calibrate direction! Can you move a little more to the right——"
Mingyu's mental thread penetrated the Poseidon's artillery fire and remotely locked onto the location of the space station's docking port.
Mu Baixing reached out and shut down the last three propulsion engines on the right side of the starship that were still working, leaving it moving forward with only the three engines on the left.
The speed of this starship was almost zero, but relying on a little inertia, the huge hull deflected to the right. At the same time, the last bit of starship energy was input into the back of the main gun muzzle.
All engines were extinguished at this moment, and a dark golden light lit up around the outer ring of the main gun muzzle, surrounding the information plug carrier inside. Driven by the last bit of energy of the starship, it rushed outward! -
The damaged starship was submerged in a deep blue energy tide at this moment, but the navigation trajectory of the information tether carrier was exactly the same as Mingyu's visual calculation.
It surged into the vast ocean tide, carrying a blazing golden light. That dark golden flame battled against the surging waves, like a steadfast and solitary warrior in ancient myths, undeterred by anything.
It will only move forward, crushing all obstacles...
Write a legendary chapter.
The carrier rushed into the space station's docking port, its golden flames consuming themselves as it clashed with the deep sea waves. Its outer shells on either side ejected, connecting with the docking rails. Simultaneously, a detector at the front popped out, accurately identifying the station's information pin.
"drop--"
"Insert the information plug—information transmission successful!—"
The green indicator light in the center of the white space station lit up in the starry sky. At the same time, the crashed silver starship automatically refreshed in the maintenance airport.
The Star Navigation Competition system prompts refresh inside the cockpit.
"Congratulations to Colorful for making it through the second round of the Star Domain Tournament and into the finals!"
"Colorful Team Ranking: First Place."
"Combined ranking of the five Colorful Star Region competitions: first place."
"Rewards for clearing the Star Navigation Competition Star Region Competition: A-grade starship construction materials will be distributed later!"
"The first-place prize in the Star Navigation Competition Star Region Competition: S-level resource ore will be distributed later!"
"Team members, please fill in the address for collection—"
"Beep—it's been detected that six members of the Colorful Team are from the Free Star Region. We are now sending a letter of special approval for Central Star Region residency for the Star Navigation Competition—"
"If team members wish to become residents of the Central Star Region, please click the link below and submit relevant information, including a letter of identity..."
Tips pop up one after another.
The cockpit was completely silent, with everyone breathing rapidly. Finally, amidst the layers of pop-up notifications, they slowly shook off the pain of the starship crash. They also realized from the constant refreshing of the competition system messages that they had finally completed the selection for the star field competition.
As the first place.
“First place!!! —First place!!” The multicolored-haired people howled as they gathered Ming Yu and Mu Baixing in the center. “We can enter the central star field!!”
"There's also a bonus!! And the starship manufacturing materials that Boss has always wanted! - And S-level resource ores -"
"Thank you, Boss, for taking us flying! - Thank you, Brother LU, for taking us flying! -"
The brothers were so excited that they cried with joy. They rushed forward, surrounding them and howling with excitement as if they had lost their minds.
Mingyu was pushed by several people and squeezed together with Mu Baixing.
Mu Baixing rarely stopped the group's unreliable behavior. He just put one arm around Mingyu's waist and lowered his head slightly amid the meaningless shouts of the five people.
"Boyfriend?" Mu Baixing asked to confirm.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!--" Red Hair caught these words keenly and let out another loud shout, which attracted several other brothers who didn't know what was going on to follow their eldest brother's guidance and also yell.
Mingyu laughed.
He was being arched by several colorful heads, his face flushed but his eyes bright. He put his hands around Mu Baixing's neck and made him lower his head.
The man stared at him without blinking, watching the young man raise his head and move closer until their lips gently touched.
Mu Baixing: “…”
He closed his eyes.
It was a light kiss that seemed to stamp the seal of approval, and it was about to separate after just one touch.
However, Mu Baixing had been suppressed for too long and would never let Mingyu go just like that.
So he tightened his arms around the designer to prevent him from leaving him, and with his other hand, he pressed the back of Mingyu's head with a little force to deepen the kiss.
Mingyu: “…Hmm!”
His ears were still filled with the excited shouts of his colorful-haired brothers. Blood pounded his eardrums, and amidst the cheers, the beats of his heart echoed.
The designer's heartbeat became faster and faster in this gradually deepening kiss. His mouth was completely invaded, all his senses were forced to focus on one point, and his breathing subconsciously stopped.
When Mu Baixing finally stepped back a little, Mingyu was already dizzy and leaned softly into the man's arms unconsciously.
Mu Baixing said in a hoarse voice, "Log off."
Mingyu: “…”
Mingyu knew what this person was going to do after going offline without even thinking!
He complained in his heart and hesitated for a moment, but finally, with a little bit of expectation and curiosity, he clicked to log off and left the Star Network.
Colorful hair: "..."
Looking at the two colorful hairy brothers who disappeared in an instant: "..."
The happy cheers of several people were accidentally stuck.
"No, wait." Zimao said bewilderedly, "Boss...are you so impatient?!"
Red Hair: “…”
"...That might be the case." Red Hair could only say, "But... the boss is offline now?!!"
"Our starship should arrive at the capital planet's starport in about an hour, right?!"
"Now that Boss and Brother LU are offline... we definitely won't be able to contact them tonight, right?!!"
It was the first time for these people to enter the central star field, and also their first time to come to the capital star. They were completely in the dark and had no idea where to go.
What's more, they don't have much money on them.
Colorful hair: "..."
"...We'll sleep on our own long-distance starship?" Blue Hair said, "We'll disembark from the carrier starship and go through the docking procedures first..."
Several people discussed the accommodation problem on the capital star, and logged out of the Star Navigation Competition module.
At the same moment when the victory notification popped up on the colorful light screen, all the teams still in the star map also received the information.
"Ding—the first-place team in the second round of the Star Region Tournament has been decided. The number of qualifying spots remaining is nine."
The same prompt sounded in the cockpits of various starships.
A sense of oppression came over me.
"We've only reached the fourth space station!...Who advanced?!" The little squirrel in the Ranger battleship that had just passed the third space station suddenly shuddered, "Could it be Brother Yu and the others?!"
"...It can't be colorful, right?" The Red and White Rose team, who had just finished resting, said bitterly, "If we had known they were so much ahead of us, we wouldn't have fought them!"
"I guess it's colorful!" cried the boy in school uniform, "but it's too fast! -"
"Go, go, go!" Vincent and Yang Haoyuan shouted, "Mulian! Next space station!"
The starships were hit hard by this news, as if they had been rewound, and they joined the competition with even greater urgency.
The Star Navigation Competition staff kept calling the colorful team, wailing, "Why are they all offline?! I was just so shocked by their speed of victory that I didn't remember to call them right away—don't they know that the top five teams in the Star Navigation Competition's star region competition usually have post-game promotional arrangements—!"
The purpose of the Star Navigation Competition is to select young star navigators. From the preliminaries to the star field competition, there are no additional activities except the live broadcast of the competition.
But... after this competition, the ten best teams from all the registered teams in the Central Star Region will be decided!
In order to satisfy the curiosity of the audience, to increase the visibility of the outstanding star navigators in this star field in the entire human star field, to enhance the reputation of the central star field and attract more talents... the top five teams after the star field competition will choose a suitable time on the day of the game or the next day to conduct a live interview on the star network.
In previous competitions, the qualifying time for several teams was usually very close, and the organizing committee would contact the qualifying teams after the competition. But this time...
Colorful, the first-place team, advanced incredibly quickly! They were at least several hours ahead of the other teams!
After a moment's hesitation, the staff realized they'd better contact them now in case this mysterious team went offline after the game...
But still didn't make it in time.
"Hurry up and send them a message!" a colleague consoled him. "I'm sure Wucailan will be back online in a few hours to check out the full match results! At worst, we can postpone the post-match interview for another day or two..."
Mingyu and Mu Baixing were completely unaware that the Star Navigation Competition staff were anxiously searching for them. They had already forgotten about the Star Navigation Competition.
"When did you buy that kind of thing, Brother Mu!" Mingyu fell on the bed, his eyes filled with tears.
His spiritual power was released at Mu Boxing's request. Although their spiritual powers did not resonate, they still clung to each other, just like their masters.
The designer looked at Mu Baixing's actions, feeling ashamed and incredulous. He said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Mu, you are too... too scheming!"
Mu Baixing: "I am used to preparing in advance."
His voice was just as hoarse, and his tone still carried his own coldness, but his actions were completely opposite.
The man's kiss brushed against Mingyu's skin.
The strong body with a high temperature covered Mingyu, and the slender fingers clasped the young man's narrow waist.
As he moved, Mingyu's accusations were suppressed deep in his throat, and he could only make a whimper.
Back and forth, from the rising of the crescent moon to the rising of the morning sun.
No words were spoken that night.
