Chapter 340: So, He Was On The Fifth Level
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Following the guidance of the planet detector, Wang Ye and his companions quickly located a starship in the Soul Ape Tribe’s territory.
It was well concealed, but it didn’t serve much purpose.
“It’s a demon race starship,” Ju Bairuo identified at a glance.
“Looks like we aren’t the first ones here,” Wang Ye remarked. “No wonder the three great demon leaders of the Soul Ape Tribe knew about our arrival. It turns out a demon race member is hiding here, providing information.”
“Then where did this demon go?” Yan Sanqi asked in confusion.
“They might be in hiding, or perhaps they blended in with the Dark Energy level Soul Apes we just killed,” Wang Ye explained. In an instant, four Whitewheel Origin shot out of Wang Ye’s Whitewheel Oblivion Armor, penetrating the starship like armor-piercing bullets.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The white lightning quickly wreaked havoc inside the starship.
“Now, they can’t escape even if they want to,” Wang Ye stated.
“What’s our next move?” Ju Bairuo looked towards Wang Ye.
“Do I even need to say it?” Wang Ye glanced at him. “Immediately report to the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army, provide a detailed account of the entire situation, and most importantly, vividly describe how we discovered the demon race’s clues and captured their starship.”
“Didn’t we only find an empty starship?” Yan Sanqi questioned.
“You don’t understand,” Ju Bairuo explained to Yan Sanqi. “This is a significant achievement.”
“One is a New Hetuo Planet without an owner, and the other is a New Hetuo Planet guarded by a demon race starship. These are two different things.”
“The three great demons we killed from the Soul Ape Tribe were likely not natives but Super Star level demon generals!”
“The other great demons and extreme demonic beasts we killed might have been recruited by the demon race.”
“You’re too shameless!” Yan Sanqi’s eyes widened.
“What?” Ju Bairuo’s mouth twitched slightly. Pointing at Wang Ye, he said, “That’s what Wang Ye just said.”
“Did I?” Wang Ye was surprised.
Ju Bairuo remained silent.
Where did this guy get his audacity?
He didn’t do anything good, yet he always made him take the blame.
However, after this exchange, the battle credits he earned from discovering the New Hetuo Planet had doubled!
For instance, the three great demons from the Soul Ape Tribe.
Originally, they were just natives with very few battle credits, at most tens of thousands.
But now, if vaguely described as Super Star level demon generals descending from a starship, it made a significant difference.
On the battlefield, the minimum standard for battle credits of demon race Super Star level demon generals was 100,000 battle credits!
The virtual human cosmic would evaluate them based on their strength, threat, and danger level, ultimately awarding more than 100,000 battle credits.
This included the other natives of New Hetuo Planet. Due to the involvement and instigation of the Super Star level demon general, they had ambushed their side just now, being considered accomplices, leading to a substantial increase in their battle achievements!
In addition to the comprehensive survey of New Hetuo Planet, he had obtained complete information…
Two million battle credits, they couldn’t escape.
Or even more!
Thinking about this, Ju Bairuo felt a surge of excitement.
Taking the blame was nothing.
“Could it be that he discovered something fishy early on, and that’s why he explored New Hetuo Planet by force?” This thought suddenly occurred to Ju Bairuo, and it was shocking.
Yes, that was it!
Otherwise, with Wang Ye’s cunning, how could he be so reckless!
It turned out that he had already guessed it!
“How did he know?” Cold sweat broke out on the back of Ju Bairuo.
Wang Ye could predict the future!
“I always thought that he was on the third level, and I was on the fourth level, but I didn’t expect…He’s far ahead of me.” Ju Bairuo took a deep breath and could no longer maintain his elegance.
“So, he’s on the fifth floor.”
In the universe, the Huerte family’s starship was in flight.
The family leader, Huerte Alferi, and the clan elders had just concluded a remote meeting.
“What? Unable to make contact?” Huerte Alferi’s expression changed abruptly, and he quickly inquired, “How long has it been?”
“For some time,” a powerful figure in the clan replied. “Even Oles’s starship can’t establish a connection. It seems that the supernet has been destroyed as well. He might have already…”
The speaker hesitated.
The seasoned members of the clan knew that Oles, as one of the family leader’s great-grandchildren, had displayed extraordinary qualities and potential since childhood. He was considered one of the future leaders of the family.
Oles was a top-tier expert in the hundred-star level of the Infinite World of Slaughter arena, and had joined the human sub-top faction, the Kui Dao Society!
He was the unparalleled super genius of the Huerte family!
But now…
Sigh.
It was too cruel.
Huerte Alferi’s brow furrowed with a complex expression.
As experienced as he was, he knew very well what had transpired.
Given Oles’s intelligence and character, it was inconceivable for him to falter at such a critical moment.
Something must have happened to him!
The incident involving Oles also meant that the seven-star life planet was at significant risk of exposure!
Whether discovered by other cosmic humans or the demon and devil races, the Huerte family couldn’t monopolize this substantial piece of territory.
Because their strength was insufficient.
A change in strategy was imperative!
“Immediately report to the Silver Lake Galaxy Military and request protection!” Huerte Alferi closed his eyes, determination firm.
“Yes, family leader!”
Huerte Alferi took a deep breath.
A decisive action was necessary!
Although they might not be able to devour this entire piece of territory, reporting immediately to the Silver Lake Galaxy Military meant they could still claim a portion, as long as it wasn’t preempted by another galaxy.
Even if it didn’t fill them to the brim, it was at least a substantial portion.
Unfortunately, this was his talented great-grandson.
Later on, he would ensure his grandson took more medicine, encouraging him to toil diligently day and night, sowing seeds of effort.
Very soon…
“Family leader, the Silver Lake Galaxy Military has just sent confirmation.” The clan expert reported, “This New Hetuo Star was marked and named by the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army not long ago, during the time you were in a meeting with the clan elders. It has officially been included in the Hetuo Star System.”
“The next step of the plan is about to be executed.”
“We… are a step too late.”
Swoosh!
Huerte Alferi’s expression changed drastically, and he stumbled.
His aged eyes dimmed, the world spun, and he fell back onto his seat, breathing heavily.
It was over. Everything was lost.
Nothing remained, let alone a small portion, not even a trace.
By military camp regulations, even being marked a second earlier meant the matter was settled.
The various Milky Way armies could only coordinate and provide aid, they couldn’t compete for territory.
Why had he been so greedy?
Not only did he gain nothing, but he also lost a genius great-grandson.
“My grandson!” Huerte Alferi’s tears flowed freely.
In the New Hetuo Star.
“Yes,” Ju Bairuo’s eyes lit up. He smiled and looked at Wang Ye. “The announcement is out.”
Wang Ye checked the mission recorder.
The top had also been refreshed.
“Mission time limit: 1 cosmic day.”
“Mission progress: 1085.3%.”
“Mission Reward: 2233450 battle credits.”
Discovering the new Hetuo Star would directly reward 1000% of mission progress.
100% mission progress equated to 1000 battle credits.
Originally, with mission progress of 85.3%, he would have obtained 853 battle credits.
Now, he had earned a whopping 10000 battle credits just by completing the mission!
However, this was only obtained through the mission mechanism and was utterly negligible compared to the additional mission rewards.
The real reward was 2.2 million battle credits!
Among them, the discovery of the New Hetuo Star accounted for 1 million.
Discovering the demon starship, killing the Super Star level demon general and his companions, resolving potential dangers, and various other achievements totaled an additional 1.2 million battle credits!
Wang Ye smiled.
As the captain, he could directly obtain 50% of the battle credits.
Over a million!
For someone like Sanqi, who had fought in the barracks for decades, her accumulated battle credits were only a few hundred thousand.
In his very first mission, he had earned over a million!
One million battle credits were enough to exchange for the lowest rank of general, second lieutenant!
That meant he could be part of the 3,000-strong officers.
Of course, he was only exchanging for a title at this point.
Without the qualifications and experience to lead troops, he couldn’t command forces on the battlefield.
“A good start.” Wang Ye expressed his satisfaction.
Even though he was still far from his goal of exchanging 100 million battle merits for achievement points, this mission had already exceeded expectations.
It brought considerable recognition to General Xu and the Xu Wolf Guards, and it established Wang Ye’s reputation.
He had genuinely secured his place in the military camp.
This was of utmost importance.
Now besieged from all sides, he needed not to conceal his abilities but to showcase them in the military camp!
The louder his reputation, the more cautious the enemies!
“Both leading the charts, far ahead of the second place. This is going to be exciting,” Ju Bairuo commented with a half-smile.
Wang Ye understood his meaning.
Upon returning to the encampment, they would undoubtedly receive commendation and substantial rewards from Senior General Ke. This would be witnessed by all the personal guards and special forces participating in the pioneering mission!
Envy, jealousy, and hatred would fill the air.
“No confidence?” Wang Ye glanced at him.
“Not,” Ju Bairuo lifted its chin. “If our Xu Wolf Guard had been assigned to the outer circle pioneering mission with a team of three, we could have competed with the special forces for the first place.”
Pride!
But Ju Bairuo appreciated it.
“Not attracting envy is mediocrity,” Wang Ye remarked. “We’ll be returning tomorrow. There’s still some time. You guys go back to Allwolf N0.3 and prepare.”
“And what about you?” Yan Sanqi inquired.
“I’ll wander around.” Wang Ye smiled.
He had secured the potential points on land, but there were still many in the ocean. He couldn’t afford to waste these potential points.
This time, he intended to amass a substantial reward for himself!
A bloody storm!
The ocean of New Hetuo Star experienced a gruesome day.
A ‘monster’ emanating lightning had cleansed the ocean of all great demons and extreme demonic beasts!
All the forces within the ocean territory underwent a painful reshuffling.
Every demon was gripped with fear!
The name of the lightning monster was used by the higher demons to threaten the disobedient lesser demons.
Allwolf N0.3, the starship, had assumed control of the supernet from the military camp.
They were about to embark on their return journey!
Yan Sanqi anxiously looked outside the hatch.
Ju Bairuo glanced at the military camp announcement and mission recorder, occasionally revealing a knowing smile.
On the screen, a countdown was displayed.
Suddenly, a figure appeared.
The moment he stepped into the cabin door, Ju Bairuo didn’t bother looking back. A watery light enveloped Wang Ye, cleansing away the thick scent of blood.
“I’m back.” Wang Ye chuckled.
Yan Sanqi’s worried expression transformed into a smile.
“You’re quite punctual,” Ju Bairuo said casually.
The cabin door closed.
The Al’s voice echoed.
“Target: Hetuo Star, Azure Mountain Milky Way Army encampment.”
“3, 2,1.”
“Commence the journey!”
