A flying octopus robot entered the Leonin and delivered three sets of adventurer airbags to Lu Chen and the others.
Lu Chen and the others immediately put on white vest airbags.
It's like wearing a thick life jacket. Although it doesn't look good, it feels very safe.
Ai Li's petite body is wearing an air bag, like a silkworm cocoon, which is very cute.
Lu Chen asked her intentionally:
"how do you feel?"
Ai Li subconsciously stepped back.
She may obey in words, but in her heart she still instinctively rejects the concern of human beings, especially human men.
There was a look of indifference on his face that he didn’t understand.
After all, Lu Chen's question did not mention the target, so it can be understood as asking Gloria.
Lu Chen suddenly thought about a question.
For a genius spiritual master, is the seal of thought unbreakable?
The so-called thought seal is just a soul restriction, a control spell of the soul master.
And Ellie is an all-rounder in control!
It stands to reason that Ellie in human form should be 100% obedient to her master, but she can also transform into a wolf after being touched, and can also retreat subconsciously, making her too wary of men.
Could it be that she has escaped the control of the thought seal and is in a self-protection mechanism of secret observation?
For example, if you don't touch her now, but verbally ask her to do happy things with you, she will probably turn into a wolf form.
However, Lu Chen did not intend to test her like this, lest it would be self-defeating and deepen her psychological shadow.
"Ellie, here's the question that needs to be answered: How do you feel wearing the airbag?"
Sirius thought carefully and replied:
"warm."
It's warmth, not security.
Lu Chen thinks this is a good thing, she can tell her true feelings.
"I won't just look for teammates. Your abilities are very important to our team. According to the track navigation map, the game has a stage where beasts are attacked. I'm begging you."
"But I'm only level 12..."
"Just try your best and leave the rest to me and Gloria."
"Um."
The adventurer's airbag can be freely ejected manually, or it can be ejected automatically when hit by a shield, burned by fire, shocked by high-level spiritual pressure, or exploded by a spaceship.
After popping up, it will instantly expand into a spherical air bag, wrapping the person inside to protect them from external harm.
Waterproof, fireproof, spiritual pressure proof, corrosion proof, shield strike proof...
The exterior is smooth, moist and elastic, and can also protect against gunshots and sword strikes to a certain extent.
That's what the instructions say.
"real or fake?"
Gloria didn't quite believe the instructions.
Her figure was too plump, and she was wearing an airbag vest that was so tight that she almost couldn't breathe.
She reached for the switch to adjust the tightness, but accidentally pressed the switch to open the air bag.
Bang!
Blast yourself into a spherical air bag and roll around in the cockpit...
An air bag was wasted before the game even started... Lu Chen was speechless to Gloria.
"Are you a dummy?"
Gloria was so dizzy that she suddenly sat up cross-legged and stabilized the airbag like a roly-poly.
He crossed his arms across his chest with a confident expression, trying his best to hide the embarrassment of pressing the wrong switch.
"I'll try the airbag safety, and you'll try shooting me."
I'll shoot you in the head!
"This is a disposable airbag. Once it explodes, it cannot come out unless you destroy the airbag, idiot!"
Lu Chen was very angry. Without an airbag, the safety was reduced, which meant that the sensitivity of his danger avoidance guide would be increased, and many extreme operations would no longer be possible.
Gloria didn't care and said:
"If it's damaged, won't the association replace it?"
"At least it won't be given until the end of the game."
"In that case, you might as well try shooting."
Lu Chen was speechless, so he had to go to the back cabin and use the machine gun that came with the armor to shoot, bombard, and even cut with a chainsaw...
The airbags couldn't even be opened!
First, the outer layer of the air bag is moist and smooth, and cannot be fixed in one place, so it is easy to unload.
Secondly, the outer wall of the air bag is an inch thick and is made of a biological material similar to spider silk. It has both rigidity and toughness and is difficult to destroy.
In the end, Lu Chen had no choice but to fire the armored laser cannon and burned it for seven or eight seconds before burning through it.
"It's still too weak, young man!"
Gloria leaned on her old age and split open the air bag with a sword, and jumped out gracefully.
Lu Chen sighed helplessly.
"You can only compete naked this time."
Gloria sheathed her sword, clapped her hands, and straightened her clothes.
"Do you think these beginner adventurers can hurt me?"
Lu Chen explained his plan carefully.
"My spaceship is not equipped with any weapons or defensive formations. In the second half of the game, I may have to fix you outside the spaceship and use you as my human weapon."
"You really know how to play."
Gloria thought about it carefully and found it quite exciting.
"Of course, I can give you my air bag."
Lu Chen added.
Gloria waved her hands, proudly raised her chest and said:
"Sister, I don't need it, it's boring to death."
…
The flight assessment is about to begin.
The host arranges for the spacecraft to enter.
There are two hosts, one male and one female.
The male host is a middle-aged man with an airplane head wearing sunglasses. He speaks in an exaggerated tone and is responsible for the live explanation of the flight assessment.
The female host is a young man wearing a pink suit and uniform, who is responsible for announcing the real-time winning odds of each round of assessment.
The first spacecraft called by the male host to head to the entrance of the track was the Leonin.
"This is the original star-dome adventure group from the Empire's second-level alliance, Xiwei Kingdom. It is the simplest entry-level Feondi civilian ship. It even gave the spacecraft a very considerate name: the Leonin. This must be Lu Chen. The captain must have the greatest courage in the universe, but he may also be a strong man who hides his strength and pretends to be a pig to win the off-site gambling money... As far as I know, this is not the first time this has happened. .”
The female host added:
"In this flight assessment competition, the odds of the Original Star Adventure Team winning are: one to one hundred!"
Lu Chen suddenly realized that it turned out to be participating ships, and they entered the competition in reverse order according to the winning odds.
The male host complained:
"Are you going to pay 100 for this kind of plain ship? Last time, the civilian ship equipped with a laser cannon also paid 500 for one... It seems that the dealer is scared by the man who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger."
The hostess smiled and said:
"It is necessary to remind you: there is a beautiful female sword spirit warrior of level 18 in this ship!"
A video of Gloria was immediately shown on the big screen. She was wearing a celadon cheongsam and her good figure was clearly visible.
Gloria waved to the big screen excitedly.
As a result, after waving for a long time, I discovered that it was not a live broadcast, but just a video taken during the previous ship inspection and physical examination.
Angrily, she complained:
"You pay one hundred, if you had known we should have made a bet on ourselves, one thousand will turn into one hundred thousand, and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle!"
Lu Chen helplessly spread his hands.
"Adventurers participating in the competition are not allowed to place bets."
"I can call my relatives to vote!"
"Where are your relatives?"
"That's all, one hundred thousand is not enough for long-distance phone calls."
Lu Chen only thought she was bragging.
What's more, my own plug-in can only avoid risks as much as possible. At most, I can guarantee to complete the game, but I am not sure whether I can get the first place.
Next.
The other participating spaceships flew to the entrance of the track one after another.
The host introduced their characteristics one by one, trying to find out the basis for the bookmakers to offer corresponding odds.
The top three odds of winning are:
The first is 2 for 3, the Three Musketeers adventure group, the flagship is a giant sword shuttle.
The second one is 2 for 1, the Old Glory Adventure Group. The flagship is an adventure ship converted from a retired imperial warship.
The third one is 4 for 1, the Electric Eel Adventure Group, whose flagship is a giant electric eel star beast ship, which is said to be still alive.
It just so happened that these three adventure groups got together in advance and reached a verbal cooperation agreement.
This kind of thing is allowed and publicly reported.
As for the three adventure groups with the highest odds of winning, it is not necessarily the three strongest adventure groups.
Perhaps due to the influence of grouping, the odds have become better.
From Lu Chen's point of view, the other giant fish-shaped cruise ship was quite powerful. It was equipped with a large number of weapons, including twelve level 30 engines.
There is also an Octopus spaceship, which is also very powerful. Its eight mechanical arms seem to be able to extend very far. It is a strong control system.
"It's not easy to get the top three this time. The most important thing is to complete the assessment safely."
Lu Chen said.
"The game is about to begin!"
When the countdown was over, the host shouted loudly:
"be prepared."
"Start the engine."
"The assessment begins."
The Leonin took the lead and rushed to the forefront.
After all, the Leonin is a fully civilian ship, light and quick to start.
The remaining spaceships are equipped with heavy weapons, or have multi-engine designs and overclocking assistance, which require time to accelerate.
But it is also possible that these ships deliberately let the Leonin go ahead to mine mines.
The Lionen was the first to rush onto the track.
The track is located outside the storm area of the Canyon Star Territory and is an artificial passage.
It is winding and only ten kilometers wide at its widest point, which is still very narrow for a high-speed spacecraft.
One wrong operation and you may fall into a storm area with gravitational disorder.
Leaving the track is not only dangerous, but can also result in a direct loss and withdrawal from the race.
There are three levels in the track.
The first level is obstacle flight.
The second level is flying under attack.
The third level is the escape flight.
For Lu Chen, it would be relatively easy to complete the game if he was not attacked.
He can easily avoid dangerous routes that may damage the spacecraft and find the best flight route.
The distance in the front section is very long. It stands to reason that the spacecraft behind will accelerate at full speed, which is enough to overtake the Leonin.
But Lu Chen still reached the first level first.
The first obstacle is the meteorite swarm.
The narrow track, which is 100,000 kilometers long, is densely packed with hundreds of millions of obstacles, making it look like a sky full of stars.
Meteorites, ice, soil, and the remains of spaceships...
Some can shoot.
Some can hit.
Some must be bypassed.
There are high requirements for the radar accuracy of the spacecraft and the pilot's flight avoidance skills.
Obviously, the spacecraft behind was waiting for the Leonin to hit the mine.
Fortunately, this is Lu Chen's advantage project.
For him, the first level is the best level to distance himself. Only by increasing the distance can he hope to win first place.
He immediately set the gyroscope's gravity to full.
The three people were instantly accelerated by five times the force of gravity and were heavily fixed to the cockpit floor.
"Why go to all this trouble? I'll go out on a motorboat and use my sword energy to clear the way. Can you just follow me in a spaceship?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"You are our secret weapon, used to get out of trouble in critical moments. You cannot be exposed now."
Saying this, Lu Chen faced the obstacle area and rushed straight in without slowing down.
"Can you slow down, please? I don't fly manually like this with you..."
"Don't worry, I'm better at driving an automatic than a manual!"
On the big screen, the host also exclaimed:
"Wow, don't you slow down at all? Just like when I play flying games, this new generation is really..."
Before he finished speaking, he was dumbfounded.
Instead of slowing down, the Leonin was even accelerating.
Moreover, it is not a complete dodge flight.
Some spaceships have good controllability and their pilots have outstanding flying skills. They choose to fly gorgeously while avoiding all obstacles.
Gorgeous is gorgeous, but not very fast.
The Leonin, on the other hand, flew in another textbook way: only avoiding dangerous obstacles that must be avoided.
For obstacles that are not dangerous, just hit them.
This requires the shipboard radar to be extremely accurate and the shipboard computer to have top-notch computing speed in order to analyze the danger instantly!
Some meteorites are even officially considered dangerous.
But because it had been collided with or shot at by spaceships too many times, it was not strong enough, and it dispersed as soon as it was hit by the Leonin.
The male host was speechless. He paused for a long time before speaking again:
"After so many years of hosting, it's rare to see this kind of textbook-style flight. It's really like pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger... The radar and flight control system of this spacecraft must be the best!"
The female host immediately announced the real-time winning odds of the Lionen: it has risen to 1 to 50!
Lu Chen's sudden operation instantly opened up a huge distance advantage and disrupted the rhythm of the game.
The other spacecraft were also forced to rush into the obstacle area at full speed.
The spaceships with the top three odds are all master pilots, and the spaceships have good controllability. They can maneuver around and avoid all obstacles.
"They are worthy of being among the top three in winning odds. They have perfect flying skills. Unfortunately, the radar cannot accurately judge obstacles. Their speed is still much slower than the Leonin. They can't even attack the Leonin."
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant ship shadow passed by.
"Wow, Xunlong No. 1 is coming!"
Xunlong No. 1 is a giant cruise ship, shaped like a stupid fish, with a large front and a small back, and is over a hundred meters high and wide.
Its captain is a prince from the Dune star system, which is rich in spiritual crystals and is equivalent to the Middle East in Lu Chen's previous life.
Xunlong No. 1’s approach to levels is unpretentious.
A thousand-eye laser cannon was activated on the bow of the ship, focusing fire at fixed points to clear every obstacle on the road.
Including solid meteorites and spacecraft wreckage, they were also burned and melted by a thousand laser transmitters.
"Dragon Seeker Adventure Group, a prince from a desert planet rich in spiritual minerals, it's great to be rich!"
The other two brother spaceships that formed a group with it followed behind Xunlong 1 to take advantage of it.
Just eat enough exhaust gas...
The odds of the Dragon-Seeking Adventure Group's championship skyrocketed, quickly surpassing the three ships just ahead, and having the highest odds of reaching the top.
The three ships, the Great Sword Shuttle, the Old Glory, and the Electric Eel, also quickly changed their course and followed behind to eat the tail flames.
He was also afraid of being attacked by the Xunlong, so he didn't dare to get too close.
Soon, under the squeeze of the gravitational turbulence, the surrounding obstacles quickly occupied the safe route that the Xunlong traveled, and the tail flames could no longer be eaten.
The live broadcast footage shows the last three spaceships.
The Octopus spacecraft, the leader of the three ships, used its long mechanical arm to forcefully control the other two teammate spacecrafts and force the mines ahead.
I don’t care if the spaceship crashes...
Even the host was speechless.
"As expected of the Marauder Adventure Group... Even so, it's difficult to keep up with the team in front."
The odds of winning the title of the Marauder Adventure Group plummeted.
soon.
The Leonin was the first to break out of the obstacle area.
The Xunlong rushed out immediately after the second one, faster than the Leonin.
On the open track, the Xunlong's ten engines turned on the overclocking mode at the same time, quickly overtaking the Leonin.
The moment it was overtaken, the Leonin actually received a video call from the Xunlong.
Lu Chen answered the phone.
In the center of the light curtain, a middle-aged man with greasy features and a body that was almost fat and spherical appeared.
A very distinctive brocade dress, but it seemed too tight on the man's body and lost its beauty.
He held two dragon-patterned pearls in his right hand and turned them around. Although the size was smaller than the one Lu Chen picked up, the flame pattern was deeper and more delicate, and the quality of the pearls was obviously better.
The man also has a pair of dragon horns on his head...but he doesn't look like a dragon. The dragon horns are like dragon horns pressed up, and he is still very powerful.
He just looks a bit stupid, has straight eyes, and speaks interstellar Chinese that is not fluent.
"I am Prince Tully from the Dune star system, the captain of the Dragon Hunting Adventure Group, and the chosen one looking for the true dragon. I have seen your wonderful performance. Your radar and flying skills are top-notch. Become mine. Subordinate, help me find the real dragon, and you will have everything!"
You find a dragon, also called the Chosen One?
What a funny character!
What's more, dragons were already extinct at the end of ancient times.
With the concentration of spiritual energy in today's universe, it simply cannot support the dragon clan's incredible physical body and spiritual power density. Taking risks to find dragons is purely a second-rate move.
The silly son of a pure landowner!
Lu Chen thought to himself, no wonder this guy owned such a huge boat but was not favored by the bookmakers before the game.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in dragon hunting or anything like that."
Prince Tully was very serious and made another condition:
"I can get you first place."
Lu Chen was speechless.
I have to say that for interstellar adventure, the most valuable thing is talent.
Even the stupid son of a landlord knows this.
Justice hunters will even violently harvest talents.
Even an adventurer like him, who has cheats and can take risks alone, will bring two powerful teammates with him.
A person's power is limited after all.
It is too lonely to take risks alone...
Even if you bring a succubus swordsman and a traumatized orc loli, it will still be much more lively than alone.
"I don't care about first place, as long as I pass safely, I just don't want to be anyone's subordinate."
Lu Chen once again rejected Prince Tully.
Prince Tully had a straight face and was thoughtful, but he didn't look serious at all, even a little funny.
"I'm so sorry, Captain Lu, I'm going to destroy your spaceship here!"
Lu Chen frowned. Unexpectedly, he did not receive the danger warning, which meant that the prince was just talking about it and was not an unscrupulous person.
"what ever."
Prince Tully's expression froze, and he spoke after a while:
"It's a joke. It's impossible for this prince to attack an unknown person. Seeing that you have some backbone, I'll tell you a secret."
"All ears."
Lu Chen thought it was a lie and didn't care at all.
He said that he was all ears, but the spaceship was sprinting at full speed without stopping.
Unexpectedly, Prince Tully got a declassified document from his assistant and said:
"A retired imperial general named Ardenferma from the West Wei Kingdom issued a high reward of 10,000 spirit stones yesterday to find a brand new white Feondi Zhou-type spaceship. He said that it is very likely to be The spaceship under the banner of the Justice Hunter... In the past three days, the only one who has participated in the flight assessment is your unmodified white Feondi Zhou-shaped spacecraft. You should be lucky that I am rich and have no interest in a mere ten thousand spiritual stones. Interested...good luck!"
