Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 951 - 951: Section 942 - Secret Mission 2

The concentrated starlight beams from more than twenty biological space motherships were enough to penetrate the thick snow clouds of Emerald Star. Although it couldn't do much to Chen Fei's temporarily expanded transport battleship, the "Seed Nest" caught in the crossfire was almost all evaporated on the spot, totaling over a hundred, attacking the "nest" with its own "spear", resulting in zero-cost annihilation. The cleared area was just right for establishing a new advance base, which invisibly saved Chen Fei considerable time and resources in developing Emerald Star.

According to the original plan, even with the "assistance (intrusion)" of the Mutants, clearing the "Seed Nest" and the plethora of biological combat weapon monsters still required consuming a large number of combat mechs, various munitions, and crystal energy. Even with the support of Louis Industrial Company and self-sufficient production, these resources are still not abundant. Therefore, the actions of the biological space motherships somewhat reduced Chen Fei's cost.

If you don't seize this opportunity to accelerate the development of Emerald Star, wouldn't it waste the kind intention of the Parasitic Species (Parasitic Species: Goddamn kind intention, don't be polite!)?

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" could never imagine these operations; this is one of the differences between AI and Intelligent Species—they lack imagination and thus cannot be considered a truly wise race.

The Monk exchanged a glance with the S-Class Superpower User, then sat together, arranging a mud stove tea set and small snacks, patiently waiting for Chen Fei to finish his operations. As for what was being done, they weren't much interested in observing. It was essentially the same routine as the game "Colonizing Jade Star", except with more detailed settings—here a base is established, plans for development are set, there a mine is dug, resources are collected to quota, sent back to base for processing, equipment maintenance is checked, and the progress of monster extermination is reviewed. But there were no related projects for survival resources because humans don't live there, so there is no need for eating, drinking, waste management, or social interaction.

Fortunately, it's unmanned and fully automated operation. If there were humans involved, considerations for commerce, agriculture, animal husbandry, and various production activities revolving around survival supplies would inevitably affect progress in various aspects. Unlike now, with undistracted 24-hour non-stop industrial development, aside from industrial growth, most operations concerning Emerald Star are no different from the Aircrew Base.

Neither of them could interfere in the operations concerning Emerald Star; Chen Fei held all the power alone, and the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" responsible for actual operation didn't comply with others either. Although being profit sharers, Miyoshi Xuesen and Heseman Brown could only perform their duties—a space move for one, providing cover for the other. The rest of the time was spent waiting for profit division.

The huge life planet had a long development cycle, and to produce a profit would certainly take more than a year or two; waiting for twenty or thirty years would not be surprising, but once the output occurs, it means immense fortune. Therefore, Miyoshi Xuesen and Heseman Brown were thinking about the future and their descendants.

Don't be fooled by Miyoshi Xuesen being a monk; the skill of reciting the Evil Demon and Heretic Scriptures is inherited, and marrying and having children are not unusual.

Another hundred or so sub-bases were planned, simultaneously adding a new plan for the Airship Factory.

Currently, intelligence from the "Sagali" civilization is very opaque. How many life planets it owns, how many biological space motherships, the threat these motherships pose to Blue Star Civilization beyond directly gathering starlight sources, and what other types are there remain unknown.

So even though Chen Fei seemed to have gained a slight advantage on Emerald Star, if he thinks this is all the Parasitic Species are capable of, then major setbacks are almost inevitable in the future.

More than an hour later, Chen Fei finally finished his operations, letting out a long sigh of relief. If he didn't have Louis Industrial Company as a financial backer offering unconditional support, he absolutely couldn't handle this resource-consuming real-life version of "Colonizing Jade Star."

Chen Fei has done quite well with the industrial development on Emerald Star; even if personally led by the Blue Star Sovereignty, they might not do better than him.

Looking at his swollen fingers, Chen Fei sighed again; Xiao Jiu was too mischievous.

The interface of the three-dimensional holographic projection had no physical sensation; the reason his fingers were swollen was because of Xiao Jiu's continual pecking.

Sparrow Sparrow at Human Position Ninth Rank was no longer as fragile as a Low-Rank Pure Light Sparrow; when pecking, it really did hurt, reaching pigeon levels.

Of course, that's only physical attacks. If they were switched to magic, Human Position mages and below A-level superpower users would probably have to avoid crossing paths.

Light-based Spells at the Human Position stage indeed are not good at attacks, but it also depends on which rank they're at.

If it's Human Position Ninth Rank, starting with a "Light Burst Flash" as a greeting, an "Element Dispel" for breaking offense and defense, followed by a "Flashing Spirit Barrage" for mass slaughter—almost time to wash up and kneel.

Switching to Xiao Jiu's perspective, a claw "Gravity Ring" presses like Taishan cracking eggs, a claw "Multiple Light and Shadow Refraction", beak-spat laser, chaotic shooting for slaughter, its power is comparable to the Immortal-Slaying Array—hardly like a Pure Light Sparrow anymore.

"Emmm...Miyoshi, what did you say the Command Center wanted me for?"

Chen Fei rubbed his reddening fingers and sent Little Bird back to the neighboring "Sparrow Nest" cabin, thus escaping the pain of pecked fingers.

In order to grab time earlier, his full operation of the Emerald Star project had inadvertently thrown Miyoshi Xuesen's previous words to the back of his mind, only now remembering them.

If time could be rewound, he would still act the same, as things have priorities, and once missed, they are indeed missed.

"Seems to be a special task, you better ask yourself!"

Miyoshi Xuesen wasn't sure whether Chen Fei had reconnected with the communication team of the Command Center, but he guessed it must have been temporarily interrupted since the Emerald Star journey is not suitable to be public.

"Alright! 'Adam', link to Command Center."

Just as the Monk predicted, Chen Fei immediately resumed his routine connection.

"'Rookie', did you return with the Pure Light Sparrow flock?"

The team leader of the Command Center's one-on-one VIP communication team opened the video call.

Chen Fei reached out and brushed, a camera on the bridge adjusted its lens towards him, both sides could see each other just fine.

The leisurely stroll lasted over three hours, during which dozens of "Seed Nests", countless biological combat weapon monsters, and three space motherships each measuring a few kilometers in length were dispatched like picking up a few stones on the roadside and chasing off a few stray dogs, all manner of understatement.

"Correct, took them out for a spin."

It was a blunt truth, as Chen Fei's body was full of Sparrow Sparrow's claw marks, which he didn't have time to clean.

The "Rookie's" harem of three thousand "Beauties" was simply too enthusiastic; even Xiao Jiu, the main queen, couldn't stop them, only managing to peck his hand red and swollen.

The communication commissioner, Miss Team Leader, solemnly said: "There is a special task now, which requires isolation of unrelated personnel, granting you one minute."

"Eh?"

Chen Fei watched as both Miyoshi Monk and S-Class Superpower User picked up their tea and snacks, silently rose, and one after the other left the bridge cabin without needing any reminders.

Next door, in the "Sparrow Nest" cabin, came the loud shouts of the two.

"Hey, hey, that's my tea, my snacks, ah, ah, you damn little thieves."

"Jiu! Jiu Jiu!" "Jiu!" "Jiu Jiu Jiu!"...

The bridge cabin door slowly closed, isolating all the sounds outside.

Two grown men, neither sick nor handicapped, starting off as A-level superpower users, yet unable to fight off a flock of Sparrow Sparrows, still being bullied, it's truly disgraceful!

"Alright! Now there's no one else!"

Now the whole bridge cabin only had Chen Fei left.

"According to confidential intelligence, 'Lord of the Sky' Lin Mo is about to defect to the 'Sagali' civilization, and Blue Star Sovereignty plans to stop him. Are you willing to participate in the interception action?"

"Ha? What? 'Lord of the Sky' defecting?"

Chen Fei was dumbfounded, hardly able to believe his ears.

At this moment, he was somewhat stunned; damn, 'Lord of the Sky' defecting—in Louis Landon's former life memory, 'Lord of the Sky' should have died during a large-scale invasion of the 'Sagali' civilization amidst Lin Family's internal strife, either in battle or assassination.

But in this lifetime, there were unexpected new circumstances.

"Indeed! Reports say one of 'Lord of the Sky's lovers is actually 'Sagali' and holds a very high rank."

The team leader, Miss, was just as shocked as Chen Fei when she initially heard this confidential intelligence, but now she had gradually calmed down. However, when repeating the task assignment, she couldn't suppress the slight tremor at the end of her speech.
