When Lu Chen rushed back to the valley, tragedy had already happened.
There was a loud noise and dust flew everywhere.
The good news is that the crashed spacecraft did not explode.
The bad news is that the crashed spacecraft hit directly in the valley where Luchen's flying RV was parked.
Most of the top of the mountain was cut off, causing a landslide and the collapsed rocks flying down...
Lu Chen used his wristband to remotely control the emergency lift-off of the RV in advance.
Unfortunately, an RV is an RV after all. With a house full of equipment and weak power, the starting speed is too slow.
As soon as the RV took off, it was hit by flying rocks and was buried by the landslide.
When Lu Chen arrived at the scene, everyone was stunned and quickly called the vehicle control system.
"Little Ai, start the engine and get out of trouble!"
Unfortunately, Xiao Ai never responded.
Lu Chen was heartbroken.
This RV is his three years of hard work. In addition to being expensive to build, it also contains a large number of parts that will be used to piece together a long-distance spaceship in the future!
Fortunately, it can still be used after digging it out and repairing it.
At the moment, Lu Chen did not start excavation work immediately, but ran to the top of the mountain.
He wants to pay compensation for the crashed spaceship...if there are still people alive inside.
It would be better if there were no living people.
He would definitely make more money by dismantling the voyage ship!
What's more, the structure and outer shell of a long-distance ship are much stronger than a flying car or a short-distance ship, and are very resistant to falling.
In addition, the soil of the mountain is soft, so as long as the engine does not explode and the spiritual pool does not spontaneously ignite, the spacecraft can continue to serve after repairs.
"Does it mean that I am going to take risks at sea in advance?"
Thinking like this, Lu Chen went straight to the top of the mountain.
The flying dust gradually fell to the ground, and the outline of the spacecraft appeared in the collapsed mountain.
It was actually a modified Feiandi Zhou-shaped spacecraft!
A longship-style matrix spacecraft with two external cargo bays on the left and right.
Thirty-three meters long, the main ship is six meters high and eight meters wide. With the two five-meter-wide cargo holds on the left and right, the widest part reaches 18 meters.
This is almost the smallest civilian-grade voyage ship.
No matter how small it is, it won't be able to hold the warp drive and enough spirit pool fuel.
Coincidentally, this Feondi circumferential voyage ship is the same model as the warp engine parts that Lu Chen just picked up, but the version is actually older...
It has been scrapped, but it is still running, so it is no surprise that it crashed.
Most of the spacecraft's body was smashed into the mountain soil, with its butt sticking out.
The surface coating had burned away, leaving only the black hull.
One cargo bay disintegrated in the air and was burned.
Another cargo hold hit a rock and was knocked off.
Fortunately, the main structure of the spacecraft was intact, and the hull was only damaged in a few places, spewing hot air.
Item identification also gives similar information:
[The Feiandi Zhou-type voyage ship produced eighty years ago, with a level 30 psychic engine, underwent many unqualified modifications, resulting in a mismatch between the engine and the spiritual pattern circuit and crashed. The engine and two cargo holds were scrapped, and the outer casing was damaged. Multiple injuries. 】
Lu Chen stood on the engine nozzle of the spacecraft, trying to contact the people or artificial intelligence in the ship using radio and spiritual net.
But no reply was received.
There is no early warning in the plug-in’s hedging guide.
"Are they all dead?"
Lu Chen became a little excited.
He immediately drove the armor, dug up the land next to it, and found the gap in the spacecraft after the cargo bay crashed.
He stretched out the welding knife with his left hand, tore open the gap into a door large enough for the armor to pass through, and then got into the back cabin of the spacecraft.
The back cabin of the spacecraft was empty.
Generally speaking, the rear compartment should store the spacecraft’s spare spirit pool fuel, parts, ship armor, small airships, etc...
The atmosphere is somewhat strange.
But Lu Chen still didn't receive any early warning, so Lu Chen became bolder.
After all, Lu Chen's danger avoidance tips were 100% warning in advance, giving him enough time and opportunity to avoid danger. There would be no accidents, even in emergencies.
To put it bluntly, this is not only a 100% detection ability, but also a 100% prediction ability!
With such a heaven-defying plug-in, Lu Chen could even travel all the way across the universe, but he was cautious by nature and did not want to completely leave his destiny to the plug-in.
The Scavenger's armor is too large to move forward without damaging the internal structure of the hull.
Lu Chen had no choice but to jump out of the armor, bring a searchlight, a laser gun and a short knife, and continue diving.
Bypassing the small living area in the middle, we arrived at the cockpit at the front of the spacecraft.
The blue arc light crackled, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and medicinal wine.
Lu Chen turned on the scattering light.
Only then did I realize that there was only one person in the entire cockpit, or rather in the entire spacecraft!
A woman was lying on the messy driving panel, pouting like a spaceship, snoring sweetly...
There were no airbags deployed around me.
There were bruises and blood stains on his head.
The man was still alive, not even unconscious, and seemed to be simply... drunk.
"In such a crash, you only broke your head? You didn't even wake up?"
Lu Chen took a few steps closer and took a closer look at the drunk woman sailing the boat alone.
She wears a five-foot-long sheathed sword at her waist, and a small gourd-shaped wine flask hangs next to her.
Typical sword spirit samurai style.
However, her dress was very casual.
He had a single ponytail, wearing yellow short-sleeves and black denim hot pants, and his brown glasses were thrown aside.
The skin is fair and tender, with a slight blush.
The figure is tall and plump, full of flesh, but also has a strong and well-proportioned beauty.
Her body was lying on the console, her face was buried in her arms, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Lu Chen only saw a hoop-shaped golden earring on her left ear... made of plastic.
Only then did Lu Chen realize that the woman's sword was just an ordinary iron sword, the medicinal wine she drank was mixed with a strong smell of industrial alcohol, the clothes she wore were all commercial products, and the spaceship she drove was so broken that even he Disliked them all.
The Scavenger Armor's onboard radar detected that the woman's psychic reaction was level 18.
However, the item identification function of the treasure hunting plug-in gives different detection information.
[Female Sword Spirit Warrior, Psychic Level 38, extremely talented in swordsmanship, one-half succubus physique, seems to be forcibly suppressing the succubus physique with medicinal wine, making it difficult to fully exert her cultivation and swordsmanship. 】
Level 38 Sword Spirit Warrior...
Lu Chen subconsciously took two steps back.
This woman is actually stronger than the strongest Lord of Jinhu City on the Rust Planet, and she can walk sideways on the Rust Planet!
Sword Spirit Warrior is said to be the most powerful and dashing profession among many psychic professions.
The coolest thing is probably true.
But Lu Chen felt that the profession with the strongest attack power must be a spiritual weapon master like him who has mastered the underlying code of You (Tian) Xi (Dao).
There is no limit to technology.
No matter how strong this female sword spirit warrior is, she is not so strong that she cannot be killed by a nuclear bomb or burned by a laser.
However, the current Lu Chen is far from being a match for this woman.
As for her one-half succubus physique...
The succubus actually practices swordsmanship?
Lu Chen remembered that succubus is a type of ghost demon. Although half-demon is not contagious, it can be very terrifying once it becomes a demon.
Lu Chen thought for a while, and since there was no danger warning, he decided to try to find a woman for compensation.
"Senior... wake up quickly!"
The woman turned over, muttered something inaudible, and continued to sleep soundly.
Lu Chen had no choice but to leave the spaceship and dig out the RV first. It would not be too late to wait until the woman woke up.
Just as he was about to leave, the woman suddenly said:
"senior?"
Afterwards, Yiji Ling got up and sat cross-legged on the console. He subconsciously took off the wine bottle from his waist and wanted to take a sip. Suddenly he found that the wine bottle was empty.
The woman then raised her head in frustration and looked at Lu Chen.
"Am I that old?"
Only then did Lu Chen see the woman's appearance clearly.
About twenty years old, less than thirty.
The facial features are sharp yet elegant, the sword-shaped eyebrows are starry yet sparkling, the wine color in the eyes is mixed with the sassy sword energy, and the face is slightly tipsy, like the white and red moon.
The domineering and plump chest stretches out the goose-yellow short sleeves, revealing the white snowy mountains and the sweaty valleys...
Coupled with his tall, muscular figure and drunken swordsman's posture, he looked lazy, calm, and majestic.
Lu Chen admitted...she is a beauty!
As expected of a half-succubus.
Of course, Lu Chen himself is also shockingly handsome when he pinches it with his own hands, not to mention he is still younger.
"Compared to the nineteen-year-old me, you are quite old."
The woman suddenly drew her sword, startling Lu Chen.
As a result, she used the sword blade as a mirror and looked at the handsome young man in front of her, without saying anything more.
"Who are you and where am I?"
Lu Chen replied calmly:
"This is the Rust Planet. Your spaceship crashed and destroyed my RV. I woke up my senior to discuss compensation."
"Where is the Rust Star?"
"The Morning Star Region, the actual control area of the Empire's Level 2 Alliance, the Blue Valley star system, and the eighth planet."
The woman was immediately dumbfounded.
"In the Tidal Star Territory, I flew out of the Pangu Corridor? What kind of broken ship, just let me drive it!"
Lu Chen said indifferently:
"Autonomous driving also requires compensation."
"I'm telling you, I don't know how to fly a spaceship. The spacecraft lost control and hit it. You should seek compensation from the spacecraft."
"The spaceship isn't yours?"
"From the charter company."
"Then I'll call the police."
The woman thought for a while and said seriously:
"I will kill the police who bother me."
Lu Chen shook his head helplessly. Looking at her jingling clothes and equipment, he gave up his plan to seek compensation for the time being.
After all, the Star Defense Force will be here soon.
Before leaving, Lu Chen kindly reminded:
"It is very dangerous for a person to drive a long-distance ship. This ship is not equipped with spherical airbags, and you are drunk. If you unfortunately crash on a rocky planet, even if you are a level 38 sword spirit warrior, you will die. .”
The woman was suddenly startled and murmured:
"Oh, have I returned to level 38? If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it. I thought I had dropped to level 18... Speaking of which, how did you, a ninth-level spiritual weapon master, tell that?"
"intuition."
With these words, Lu Chen turned around and walked away, driving the armor away from the spaceship.
He came to the valley and began to dig out his flying RV among the ruins.
Dig and dig...
After digging, Lu Chen began to repair the RV on the spot.
Weld and repair the casing, disassemble the engine, and replace parts. The missing parts have to be polished on a small machine tool to create new ones and engrave spiritual patterns...
The most difficult thing is to carve the spiritual pattern.
After all, Lu Chen's spiritual power level is only level nine, while large civilian spiritual weapons such as RVs all start at level ten.
It is a bit difficult to engrave by relying on one's own spiritual power alone.
Using a high-level engraving knife with built-in psychic power to assist will affect the accuracy of the engraving.
Lu Chen set up a carving stand outside the RV, lit up a bright shadowless lamp, put on high-magnification glasses, and held a sharp carving knife.
Breathe evenly, condense the sea of qi, run the ninth-level spiritual power through the spiritual veins, slowly gather the fingertips, and forcefully drive the tenth-level carving knife.
Gentle spiritual power bursts out from the fingertips, lighting up the spiritual pattern on the blade, and manually carves the pattern on the outer layer of the new spiritual piece.
Time passes minute by minute.
At some point, the woman also followed him out, sitting cross-legged on a boulder not far away, staring at Lu Chen from a distance without saying a word.
I do not know how long it has been.
The patrol fleet of the Star Defense Force arrived belatedly, and surrounded the spaceship on the top of the mountain with water, and the loudspeaker shouted loudly.
The woman drew her sword casually.
A sword energy suddenly slashed out, splitting the top of the mountain horizontally.
The clanging sword roar covered the loudspeaker of the Star Defense Force fleet.
"Get away!"
The Star Defense Force fleet was so frightened that the formation broke up and they didn't dare to let out a single fart. Patrol boats one after another took off in an emergency, changed their course, and flew away from the surface in a panic.
The Dawn Star Territory is located near the entrance of the Pangu Corridor, the "Paradise of Interstellar Adventurers". Adventurers frequently appear there, including many interstellar pirates who are full of evil deeds.
It's just a low-level voyage ship that crashed. There's no way the Star Defense Forces could sacrifice their lives.
Lu Chen remained calm and did not raise his head to look at the woman.
I thought: It’s over, I’ve been targeted by this female sword demon...
He concentrated on repairing the RV until dawn, which was much slower than usual.
However, in the eyes of women, this is the genius among geniuses.
She didn't understand the technical aspects, but the resources this young man gained from scavenging far exceeded the upper limit of his ninth-level cultivation.
His calm nature is completely unlike that of a young man, unmoved by women or danger at all!
She, who always liked to take risks alone, suddenly asked:
"May I have your name?"
Lu Chen wiped his sweat and said:
"Lu Chen."
The woman crossed her arms across her chest and suddenly said to herself:
"My name is Gloria. I am an interstellar sea... ahem, interstellar adventurer. Although I don't know much about spiritual equipment repair, I feel that you are a talent. Are you interested in going to sea to make a fortune with me?"
Lu Chen likes to pick people by himself and doesn't want to be picked by others, especially his adventurous teammates, who must fully understand their character.
Although this woman has strong swordsmanship, she lacks discipline and is not an ideal adventuring teammate.
"Sorry, not interested."
The woman thought that Lu Chen was afraid of interstellar adventure and said:
"You saw it just now. Sister, I am a swordsman genius and will protect you."
Lu Chen still shook his head.
"You can't even protect yourself."
The woman thought about it seriously and then said:
“Let’s do this, if you can repair my spaceship, this ship will be given to you as my compensation.
The prerequisite for you to be the captain is that you take me with you to adventure in the Pangu Corridor... It is because I lack a psychic genius like you as a teammate that I have poor financial luck. "
Lu Chen was suddenly startled and asked her:
"Didn't you say that the boat doesn't belong to you?"
The woman smiled slyly and said:
"I stole it. Of course it's not my spaceship, but I can decide its fate."
Lu Chen was speechless and said:
"Cosmic adventure is a very dangerous thing. The minimum number of voyage team members recommended by the Adventurers Association is three people. We are still missing one person. Besides, my cultivation level is only spiritual level nine, and I have not reached the physical requirement of level ten."
The woman smiled nonchalantly:
"You just lack resources. There is no way out if you stay on this barren planet. Why don't you go to sea to make money with me, split 50/50. If you have enough money to buy enough resources, your cultivation level will soon reach the top." It's level ten.
Besides, I actually have a good teammate waiting for me at the front of the Pangu Corridor.
The three of us are in a group. If we don’t leave now, when will we stay? "
Lu Chen didn't quite believe what the woman said and asked deliberately:
"Oh? Tell me what your teammates look like?"
The woman was startled, scratched her head, and grinned.
"Tell me...what kind of teammates do you like?"
"Orc lolita, white hair, red eyes and so on."
Lu Chen blurted out instinctively without thinking.
The woman threw her head back and laughed.
"You're such a homebody, I like you too... Our teammates are like that."
Only then did Lu Chen think about it seriously.
As teammates, women are strong.
The conditions offered are also very generous.
There are no warnings in the danger avoidance guide, which at least shows that women are not evil-minded people...
What's more, apart from my technical advantages, I have nothing worth a level 38 sword spirit warrior's covetousness. Even if the opponent has succubus blood, he won't covet his body.
What's more, this woman also forcibly suppressed the succubus bloodline.
If she wanted to take risks and hunt for treasure, she would not be able to do it alone. She really needed a spiritual weapon master to form a team and go to sea.
Thinking like this, Lu Chen tentatively suggested:
"Let's do this. I'll help you repair your spaceship first, and you'll pay me the compensation of one hundred spirit stones and the cost of repairing the spaceship, and then I'll consider whether to team up with you. How about that?"
"It's a deal!"
The woman winked and smiled.
Then he stood up and left.
Lu Chen drove the armor and welded the outer shell of the spacecraft while thinking about whether women were reliable.
An hour and a half later.
The sky is filled with red clouds in the east.
Sudden!
With a crash, a bag of spiritual stones was thrown on top of the spacecraft.
A woman dressed in a black knight outfit, wearing fashionable goggles, riding a flying motorboat with scavenger paint, appeared in front of Lu Chen again.
"One hundred spiritual stones, let's set sail today!"
