Chapter 209: Am I on the Wrong Pirate Boat?

Hurricane, set off!
Rumble! Hurricane soared into the sky and left the asteroid.
It’s so fast.” Wang Ye looked out of the window and could feel that the speed was different from the nuclear-powered starship.
This seemingly heavy and old starship was far more outstanding than the high-end starship of the Munro Guards.
It had reached one-tenth of the speed of light per second almost instantly, then accelerated to one-fifth of the speed of light per second, where it stayed.
“Old Xie’s skills are not just for show. He used to be a first-class maintenance worker at Jiutian Heavy Industry Company.” A smiling young man walked over. His oval head was smooth, and he was dressed in black battle armor. He had a sword hanging from his waist.
“Then why did he become a pirate?” Wang Ye asked curiously.
“He was fired because he didn’t understand the ways of the world.” The bald young man did not think much of it. “To be honest, it only sounds awesome. It’s the same as being a delivery man for Yunlan Cosmic Logistics. They’re just external members. At most, they have better benefits but no power.”
Wang Ye nodded.
Even so, his skills were surely much better than those of ordinary chief engineers.
“Brother, how should I address you?” Wang Ye said.
“The captain of the tenth squad, Tutu Jie. My brothers call me Brother Jie.” Tutu Jie grinned.
Was his next sentence “nice figure, quite sturdy”?
“Wang Ye.” Wang Ye reached out his hand and shook it.
“Gosh, you’re quite strong. Sister Min hasn’t arranged anything for you yet, right? Are you interested in joining our squad?” Tutu Jie raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“No problem. Tell me about the Hurricane Pirates.” Wang Ye didn’t care.
“There’s nothing much to say.” Tutu Jie casually leaned against the cabin door railing, “It’s the normal two-star pirate group configuration. We have 100 members who are divided into 10 squads, with cosmic-level experts accounting for more than half of us. The squad captains are at the advanced cosmic level. Added to the scattered technicians on the starship, we have a total of 136 people. No, including the five of you, we now have 141.”
The scale was not small either.
“How many Dark Energy-level experts are there on the ship?” Wang Ye asked thoughtfully.
“Three, but only two can fight. Although Granny Bai is also a Dark Energy-level expert, she’s old and frail. She hasn’t participated in any battles for a long time,” Tutu Jie said. “Uncle Feng is the strongest, followed by the captain of the first squad, Asahiko.”
“It sounds like you’re not convinced by him,” Wang Ye laughed.
“Not really. That guy is indeed powerful, but he’s too arrogant. He thinks he’s better since he’s from the big ship. He thinks he’s superior to us. We’re all squad captains and are on equal footing, yet he shouts at us every day.”
“What’s the big ship?” Wang Ye asked. It sounded like a term used by cosmic pirates.
Tutu Jie raised his head slightly and said proudly, “It’s the main fleet. Although the Hurricane Pirates have only just entered the threshold of a two-star pirate group, we have people above us. The other veteran two-star pirate groups have to give us face since Sister Min’s father is a Great Pirate who leads a three-star pirate fleet.”
As expected, she had a backer.
Wang Ye wasn’t surprised.
The Great Pirates were Super Star-level experts.
“So we are pirates accompanying the princess on her travels?” Wang Ye roughly understood.
“No, no, no.” Tutu Jie shook his head. “The big ship is the big ship, and we are us. We are completely separate. We don’t interfere with each other.”
“What do you mean?” Wang Ye was surprised. “Could it be that the big ship won’t help if the Hurricane Pirates are in trouble?”
Of course not.” Tutu Jie was helpless. “Lord Yu has 27 children. Once they reach cosmic-level 9, he will give them a starship, a sum of funds, 3 Dark Energy-level warriors, and send them to roam freely, regardless of whether they’re male or female.”
Twenty-seven!
“Is he a pig? Isn’t he too fertile?” Wang Ye complained in his heart.
“Sister Min is his 23rd child, but only six of her older brothers and sisters survived. Lord Yu believes in the survival of the fittest,” Tutu Jie said. “He believes that only true independence can allow one to grow. Otherwise, his children will at most become his successor with slim chances of surpassing him.”
Wang Ye nodded.
Lord Yu was an ambitious man.
It was very cruel, but it was also the truth.
After all, very few rich second-generation heirs could surpass their parents.
His method was to spread his seeds widely apart, hoping that there would be a chance of mutation…
Wait a minute!
Out of 23, only 6 survived?
A quarter chance?
Could it be that he was on the wrong pirate ship…
Wang Ye suddenly felt uneasy.
This was especially so since the commander of the Hurricane Pirates didn’t seem very smart.

Munro Guard Base.
“Ruiwen, is it okay to give this mission to you?” Head Captain Munro Hantong looked at the handsome young man in front of him.
Not only was the latter Lord Xingqiu’s exclusive property but also the captain of the Munro Guards’ third team.
Being born in the territory, he didn’t rely on his beauty to get to the top. He had real talent.
With high IQ and great methods, not only did he win the favor of Lord Xingqiu, but he also managed the third team of the Munro Guards well.
In terms of mission completion rate, the third team had the highest score among all of the Munro Guards.
“You should have left it to me long ago, Head Captain.” Munro Ruiwen had a bright smile on his face. “Munro Uttina, that trash, was toyed with by two colony planet humans. It caused Lord Xingqiu’s reputation to be tarnished and she lost face in the circle. She has been very angry recently.”
Munro Hantong wiped his sweat. He knew this too because he had been berated harshly…
“Don’t underestimate them.” Munro Hantong reminded.
“Of course not.” Munro Ruiwen smiled. “To be able to escape from a heavily sealed colony planet is not something an ordinary human can do. I’m quite interested in Wang Ye. I’ve long wanted to meet him.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you. Has the application for the cosmic warp starship been approved?” Munro Hantong asked.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I asked Lord Xingqiu to let me use her starship for the time being,” Munro Ruiwen looked at him.
Damn it. Could he get whatever he wanted just because he was handsome?
Munro Hantong watched the slender Munro Ruiwen leave with envy in his eyes, then looked at his bulging and strong muscles.
He couldn’t figure out how he had lost.
Lord Xingqiu had no taste.
What was the use of a pretty boy? A man’s muscles were the best!
His teammates loved his muscles!
In Hurricane’s healing chamber, several sophisticated instruments were operating. The life energy cabins were maintaining their users’ bodily functions.
Wang Ye stood in front of one of them and looked at Nante, who had merged into the pool of life energy and was sleeping like a baby.
“Doctor Lou, how is he now?” Wang Ye looked at a sloppy man.
The other party didn’t look like a doctor at all. He was drinking and wasn’t wearing a white coat.
But he was indeed the only doctor on this ship.
According to Brother Jie, Doctor Lou graduated from a proper cosmic medical school.
“He won’t die.” Doctor Lou drank his wine and barely half-opened his eyes to take a look.
“When will he wake up?” Wang Ye asked.
“He can’t.” Doctor Lou answered without thinking.
“Why?” Wang Ye was puzzled.
“The damage to his bodily functions is too severe.” Doctor Lou burped. “Especially the parts that were burned by the flames. They can’t heal on their own. Right now, 1 can only maintain his vitality and guarantee that he won’t die.”
“Then how are you going to treat him?” Wang Ye frowned.
“If you ask me, who should I ask? If I had the ability to revive the dead, would 1 still be a pirate here?” As Doctor Lou spoke, he took another sip of wine. His eyes were unfocused. “There’s no equipment here and we don’t have medicine. We can’t save him. Once we reach a five-star life planet, we’ll send him to the hospital for treatment.”
“Is it that simple?” Wang Ye was delighted.
Doctor Lou rolled his eyes. “What’s so simple about it? The treatment fee is very expensive. The cosmic hospital has everything you need and is very sophisticated. Other than being unable to treat the poor, they can save you even if you’re on your last breath!”
“Thank you.”
After exiting the healing chamber, Wang Ye wandered around.
Although he had yet to merge fully into the pirates, he was already familiar with the environment inside Hurricane.
He returned to his room where a faint fragrance permeated the air.
The cabin wasn’t big, about 40 square meters. It gave Wang Ye the feeling of returning to a training camp.
The facilities in the room were very simple. There was a bed, a table, two chairs, a bathroom, and… A woman who had a huge bust.
“Why are you in my room?” Wang Ye looked at Xin Ran in surprise.
Her snow-white skin was so soft that it would seemingly bruise at the softest touch. Her knowledge was as vast as the ocean.
Xin Ran put down the book in her hand and avoided Wang Ye’s gaze. “They thought I’m your… that’s why they didn’t arrange anything for me.”
Wang Ye understood.
Of the two female assistants, Yu Min killed the Munro Guards’ top assistant since leaving her alive would expose them.
As for Xin Ran…
Originally, she was going to be killed too, but he saved her.
Therefore, in Yu Min’s opinion, he was a pervert who had taken a fancy to Xin Ran, which was why he had been keeping her by his side.
Otherwise, why?
“I’ll go to Brother Jie and arrange a new room for you, okay?” Wang Ye said.
“No, don’t!” Xin Ran panicked when she heard that. She hurriedly jumped off the bed and grabbed Wang Ye’s hands tightly. She was extremely nervous. “This is good. I’m scared if I’m alone…”
Wasn’t she afraid of him?
Wang Ye lowered his head and looked at the fair and deep cleavage.
He knew what Xin Ran was afraid of.
No matter how good Yu Min’s words sounded and how principled she was, she was still a cosmic pirate.
Just because she didn’t do it doesn’t mean that her subordinates wouldn’t.
It was necessary to be on guard against others.
After all, Xin Ran was only a New Star ability user and had neither status nor strength in the Hurricane Pirates.
She was beautiful, had a good figure, and was very knowledgeable.
Even he might be unable to endure her allure, let alone the cosmic pirates.
“Think about it carefully. 1 can’t guarantee that I won’t do anything to you.” Wang Ye laughed.
“Hmm.” Xin Ran hummed as her body trembled slightly. As if she had made up her mind, she hugged Wang Ye tightly, squeezing him until her boobs were slightly deformed. She didn’t dare to raise her head and said softly, “If it were you, I’m willing…”
Bang!
The short sentence instantly ignited the atmosphere.
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
Would he still be him if he remained calm in such a situation?
He had been tense since he left the Blue Planet, but he could finally relax.
Looking at Xin Ran, who had gone through thick and thin together with him, their feelings spread in the unique atmosphere as he began to skillfully search for the source of the sweet fragrance….
