Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 952 - 667: Bonds (Part 2)

...

The process of subduing the other two pirate forces went unbelievably smoothly, but more importantly, they found a lost player—Xu Ruoguang.

"How did you end up here?"

Back on the Blood Claw Main Ship, Bai E temporarily ignored the leaders of the other two pirate factions.

The Blood Claw would take care of explaining the next arrangements to them. He was more concerned about the whereabouts of those players.

"Where did you all go after scattering from the spacecraft that day?"

"We?" Xu Ruoguang scratched his head, "I don't know about them, I was all by myself..."

Xu Ruoguang landed on a relatively backward fringe planet. While cautiously exploring the world, he once saved a woman surrounded by savages—

none other than the leader of the Night Owl Pirate Group, Black Beast.

After saving her, it was only natural that he was taken aboard the spaceship and became a pirate roaming the starry skies.

The reason he came here this time was that he had heard there was a considerable inheritance here, which he intended to claim and send back to their home planet.

"Spaceships in the universe seem to all have the ability to automatically correct space coefficient fluctuations. I thought maybe I could use their spaceship to bring the others back from our home planet..."

Bai E was astonished by the loyalty of this player. Was this still the same unruly player?

He was genuinely considering the fate of an entire planet.

"But... you can't contact the others?" Bai E looked at him, eyes filled with doubt.

If he was a player, wasn't there any mention of logging off?

Dispersed in the game, they could log off in reality, give each other a heads-up, find a famous landmark or a unified place name to gather again. Wouldn't they quickly reunite?

When Bai E first saw Xu Ruoguang, he thought he could immediately contact the entire player team.

He had high hopes for these players he had cultivated from the planet.

If they were to assist, perhaps the steps for developing the Mine Star's forces could progress quickly.

But in response to Bai E's inquiry, Xu Ruoguang's eyes were obviously filled with confusion, "I don't know... I'm just by myself."

Bai E got anxious, "You never log off?!"

"???"

"???"

Seeing Xu Ruoguang's incredibly bewildered expression, Bai E knew things might be more complex than he had imagined.

... In fact, he had vaguely suspected this for a long time.

After all, even his own system was fake... it was maliciously disguised by a certain Evil God of high-dimensional space.

So these players... were they really players?

Or at least, was this "player" in front of him not a player?

"I... I don't know." There was a glint of thought in Xu Ruoguang's eyes.

Log off? Such a distant and unfamiliar term.

As far as he recalled, there did seem to be a time when this term was related to him.

It seemed that during that time, he had even made a friend... Kuang Xin! Yes, that's the name.

They met here and then again on another level.

Indeed... but why, ever since they parted, had he never thought of going to that other level to find him?

Even when the thought sparked in him now, Xu Ruoguang looked around but could no longer see the so-called familiar panels and system options from that time...

He could no longer "log off."

"It's okay." Bai E didn't pursue it further.

The guy masquerading as a system to deceive him obviously had a deeper plan. As long as he continued down this path, there would eventually be a day when he met that person again.

When the confrontation happens next, let's see what that person is scheming.

As for the present...

"How are you handling control over the Night Owl?"

Speaking of recent events, Xu Ruoguang scratched his head shyly, "I'm not really sure. Although I helped them win several battles and killed some people..."

He was indeed somewhat familiar with some members of the Night Owl Pirate Group, but that was because of his relatively strong strength and his precise command of warship tactics in several space battles.

If they really wanted the entire pirate group to fall under the lord's command, he wasn't that confident.

"But I think their leader seems to trust you a lot."

Seeing Xu Ruoguang's statement, their leader submitted immediately, otherwise the process of subjugation wouldn't have been this smooth.

"Maybe... but I don't know what she's thinking either."

"Does she want something from you?"

"Emmm..." Xu Ruoguang scratched the back of his head, "Does her asking me to wash up and wait for her in bed count?"

"Alright." Bai E gave him a thumbs-up.

Seducing was still a form of subduing, who would have thought this player had such talent...

"I need that treasure too; in fact, it was the owner of that treasure I killed." Bai E exchanged information with him, "What was your original plan? Now that the three of us are working together, maybe we can improve the entire plan."

"I'm more skilled in battleship combat..." Xu Ruoguang was still a bit embarrassed.

For some reason, he felt like he had a different talent in this area...

Even though he had never been on a cosmic battleship before, when several battleships started engaging in space, he instinctively knew what to do.

As if as long as he was given control of the ship, victory would be within easy reach.

It felt like he had seen similar scenarios countless times before, and every battle he came across now could find a relative solution in his list of reactions.

"Good! Then once the battle starts, you'll command all the warships of our three pirate groups."

The responsibility was heavy, but surprisingly, Xu Ruoguang felt no fear in his heart.

It seemed that returning to the lord's side had put his mind at ease.

He was the only light for humanity, the only person for humanity...

"I will not fail my lord's trust!"

...

"Honestly, Blood Claw, have you also become that guy's dog?"

In the room of the three pirate leaders, the crippled man stared darkly at Blood Claw.

Blood Claw had just explained the general situation, but now he was more concerned with another problem.

Blood Claw didn't bat an eye, "So what if I have? So what if I haven't?"

"I see, so you have!" The cripple grinned maliciously, "Heh heh! That's good!"

He could accept being suddenly subdued by a formidable man... or brought to justice.

After all, as a pirate, he had long expected this day to come. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

But he couldn't accept that a companion who had struggled alongside him in the mud pit suddenly turned into his boss.

Now it seemed that Blood Claw had long been subdued by that guy, and he himself was merely following in Blood Claw's footsteps.

Thinking of it that way, it suddenly felt much better.

"Are you willing to accept this?" The cripple began attempting to sway him.

Blood Claw didn't even glance at him, "If you had seen his true power, you wouldn't entertain such thoughts."

"Then he must be really formidable..." The cripple nodded, then looked at the female leader who had remained silent beside him, "Black Beast, what are you thinking? You surrendered so decisively on the asteroid, if it weren't for you, I would still have considered resisting a bit. Was it because of your subordinate?"

Black Beast's remaining eye glanced at him indifferently, "It's none of your business."

Guang had found his faith, how could she possibly stop him?

That man, whose actions were like thunder, was the obsession Guang had always had?

What a pity... she originally thought it was a woman.

Blood Claw tapped the table, "Anyway, the three of us are really stuck together now. I don't know the origins of that lord, nor do I know his future plans. But in the short term, I've decided to follow him... and can only follow him. With his strength, killing the three of us is no different from killing chickens. So, both of you, let's work closely together from here on. Show all your cards."

"Give me tactical command." The female leader spoke first.

"Hmm?" Blood Claw looked up at her, "Why?"

"I have an expert in this area."

"That lord brought a woman with him, she seems to have some insight in this area too." Blood Claw referred to Catherine, who also had a good level in this field.

"Not as good as mine!"

"Oh~" Blood Claw sneered, "Then speak to that lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai E entered the room with Xu Ruoguang, "Announcing something: from now on, the warships from your three factions will be fully commanded by Xu Ruoguang!"

The two male pirates exchanged glances, while Black Beast stared intently at Xu Ruoguang.

This was his pursuit...

He chases him, he trusts him.

There must be stories in their past, and where there are stories, there are legends and power.

The Star Sea may be vast, but there's never a powerful being without roots.

Such a mysteriously powerful and unique existence, from which corner did it suddenly emerge?
