Chapter 90: Chapter 90

It had taken less than ten minutes for the Explorer to go from being a difficult and unfamiliar ship at the beginning of the meteorite complex to a more relaxed and easy-going ship.

"I really wonder how Tang Lao teaches such awesome drivers." A teacher watching the live stream exclaimed, "All catching up with the military's drivers."

"Something to do with talent, I guess." Another teacher said softly, "I can't believe that with such a good seedling, we've let him be held back for so many years in those vase schools ......"

In the game, when Tang Bai finally leaves the meteorite cluster after half an hour of driving, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu En glanced at Xie Ruhang , "Playing cards to celebrate?"

Xie Ruhang looked at Lu En's disheveled look, he didn't expect that this npc would take the initiative to invite him, he had gained one point of Lu En's goodwill when he told the OO love story, and he had gained another point during this quest, if he refused would he be deducted backward for his goodwill?

"I'm not very good at playing cards." Xie Ruhang hesitates for a moment and walks towards Lu En.

"I'll teach you." Lu En led Xie Ruhang into the lounge, where he skillfully took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then sat down on the floor and took out a deck of cards and shuffled them slowly.

Xie Ruhang listened to Lu En vaguely explain the rules of playing cards, and when he and Lu En had played a game, Xie Ruhang suddenly heard a system beep, "You learned the new skill of playing cards, +1 points."

Xie Ruhang: "????" That's okay?

Xie Ruhang opens up the leaderboard, and finds that he has won the first place with 10 points, 5 of which he got from killing bugs, 2 from his mission through the meteorite swarm, and 3 from cooking, telling stories, playing cards, and other strange things.

Also looking at the standings was Tang Bai, who found himself in a tie for second place with Gu Tunan, both with 5 points.

Tang Bai harvested three points in this mission, besides points he also harvested one point of favor from the captain, so far Tang Bai has harvested five points of favor from the captain, at this time the old captain's attitude towards Tang Bai has been completely different.

"Good, good, you're doing great!" The Captain was so impressed with Tang Bai that not only that, he started to teach him his skills.

"Do you know how we find energy stars?" The captain asked.

Tang Bai : "!" Is this the benefit you can get from brushing up on an NPC's favor?

Tang Bai shook his head, thirst for knowledge written all over his face.

"Whenever we find a new star or a planet that has the potential to have an energy source, we will calculate the entropy value or particles of this planet by releasing multiple quantum spheres, which will stimulate plasma or quantum entanglement between specific orbital particles to form a plasma wall that will temporarily prevent the energy exchange of the planet and briefly form an isolated system, thus inferring the energy status and life span of the planet by calculating the entropy value or particles of this planet status."

"Let me give you a virtual demonstration."

Small quantum spheres appeared on the projection of the light brain, which had specific metal pieces on its exterior, each of which blocked a different radiation from the quantum sphere.

When the quantum sphere is released, it separates from one sphere into many very small spheres, each of which emits a very small amount of special radiation.

These quantum spheres are distributed in all directions of the planet, and they emit a slender light that interweaves with a nebulous beauty.

"What you need to learn is how to build an isolated system with the most energy savings ......"

One was patiently explaining and the other was listening intently, the picture was incredibly harmonious.

"So that's how it is. I've lost it.

[Tang Bai looks like he really listened, I cried, is this the difference between people?

[Kneeling for the big man]

After a series of teachings, Elderly Kang said, "There's a star in front of you that meets the criteria, so practice."

It was a dirt-colored planet, and it looked barren and cold.

Tang Bai pressed the launch button for the quantum spheres, and four of them floated above the ship, a hazy shimmering light faintly permeating through the gaps in the metal blocks that encased them.

The four quantum spheres flew toward the planet, and as they flew they separated into more tiny spheres, the densely arranged chunks of metal scattering all over the place.

These small spheres like little elves wrapped around the planet, the hazy light intertwined and staggered, looking out, you can see the vast starry sky purple laying into the background, there are clear and translucent jewel green embellishments, the edge of the exposure of tiny wisps of gold ......

Tang Bai stared at the beauty of the scene, and it seemed to him that he could feel the planet breathing, like silent celestial music.

"You have learned the new skill Detect Energy Star, points +1." the system beep sounded, at the same time Tang Bai's ears also rang the captain's voice: "Sure enough ...... this isn't the energy star we're looking for."

Tang Bai looked to the captain, the aged alpha showing a similar dishevelment to Lu En at this moment, indifferent to the magnificent view before him, for the captain had seen similar sights too many times, from the initial anticipation and loss to the numbness of the present day.

With a mission to find an energy star, and living a boring day-to-day life on a ship with little entertainment to conserve energy, it's almost a foregone conclusion that they will suffer from voyage blues.

Other side.

The captain of the ship Gu Tunan was on looked down at the stars with an expressionless face, his gaze dead silent as he wondered what he was thinking.

And the couches in the lounge sat the alphas who had just finished killing the bugs.

"If Tang Bai handled the worm meat, it would definitely make it delicious." Mo Zheng lamented.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since I had a bento made for me by Tang Bai himself." Gu Tunan prided himself on not wanting to miss it.

Bai Li snorted, "What's so rare about this, Tang Bai often treats our class to dim sum, I don't even want to eat it."

Mo Zheng lightly glanced at Bai Li, "Oh? Then the next time Tang Bai sends everyone dim sum, I'll make it a point to tell him for you, don't mention it."

Bai Li's face suddenly sank, not scaring Mo Zheng, but scaring the innocent passerby teammates on the side.

The roadie teammate with no presence weakly said, "That, should we ask Qin Jun not to bring the bug meat back to the airship? He's covered in the odor of bugs, it's very unpleasant, and the NPCs seem to be unhappy about it."

Gu Tunan frowned, Qin Jun had played a good supporting role in these few times of decimating the bugs, the only dissatisfying thing was that he had to bring back bug corpses every time, the more he brought back, the more he brought back, and the bug meat he made the more the npcs didn't eat it.

I don't blame the NPCs for not eating it, Gu Tunan tried the worm meat made by Qin Jun once.

Honestly, Gu Tunan has never eaten anything so bad in his life.

"I'll go talk to him." Gu Tunan stood up, and he hadn't even made it to the kitchen before he smelled the sickening odor.

Sticky and disgusting, like the odor of rotting entrails spewing into your face.

The sound of Gu Tunan's walk was so soft that Qin Jun, who was cutting up worm meat with a knife in one hand and one hand in his pocket, did not notice Gu Tunan's arrival.

Strange.

Why do you cook with your hands in your pockets?

Gu Tunan did not make a sound, he slowly walked behind Qin Jun, like a prostrate cheetah, and in a flash of lightning reached out and suddenly strangled Qin Jun's hand in the pocket.

"Ah!" Qin Jun's eyes widened in horror as he saw his hand being yanked out of his pocket forcefully by Gu Tunan.

That thing ......

Gu Tunan stared at Qin Jun's palm, which was covered only in sticky green mucus, which was obviously the bug's bodily fluids, and was sticking to Qin Jun's hand like thick phlegm, while Qin Jun's pockets were empty except for traces of the green fluids.

That thing burrowed into ......

Gu Tunan frowned, was it actually true that he was simply sticking his pockets in? Qin Jun Handling worm meat stained with such a liquid is not surprising.

"Even though it's a game, you pay attention to your personal hygiene, and you get rid of the worm meat that's piled up here sooner rather than later."

Yeah, yeah, it's just a game!

Qin Jun's eyes suddenly light up as he tries his best to ignore the discomfort of having a foreign substance in his body and throws the chopped up worm meat into a garbage bag as Gu Tunan looks on.

He put too much worm meat in the kitchen, a whole freezer full of it, originally Qin Jun would feel disgusted when he saw this worm meat, but now he suddenly felt ......

These worm meats look delicious.

Gu Tunan walked out of the kitchen as he was about to discuss the mech modifications with Mo Zheng when he heard a sharp alarm, "Warning! A star is collapsing in on itself ahead!"

"New mission: escape the danger zone!"

"MISSION SUMMARY: The dangers the Ideal encounters in the universe are unpredictable and treacherous, in addition to the roaming Bugs! The self-collapse of a star will create a black hole, and the matter surrounding it will release streams of gamma rays and high-energy particles! Please help the Captain through this crisis! Each of you will receive points according to your contribution if the mission is successful!"

"Note: A single gamma ray burst may radiate a large amount of energy over a period of minutes, and the radiation has the potential to cause biological mutations."

Upon hearing of the new mission, the three alphas in the lounge rush out to join Gu Tunan.

"What's going on? Why don't any NPCs come out and tell us what to do?"

"It seems like the NPCs have refused to communicate with us since we forced the captain to go to the Bugs."

"If they don't come to us, then let's take the initiative and go to the NPCs."

The group broke into the cab in a huff, in which the captain wore a helmet, his eyes calm with a flash of desperate madness.

The deputy stepped in front of the captain and said in a chilling voice, "You will not disturb the captain from piloting the ship, if the captain fails, the current energy reserves on our ship will not be able to withstand this gamma ray burst!"

Mo Zheng reveals a smile, "No offense, Your Excellency Deputy, is there anything we can do to help with this crisis?"

"Go guard the shields on the ship." The deputy grimaced, "Six positions, I'll guard them with five of you, don't let the gamma rays break through the shields!"

The crowd, who had finally received their assignment, rushed out of the cab.

"Where's Qin Jun? Why didn't he come out to keep watch?!"

"He's not still in the kitchen, is he?!"

"I'll get him."

Gu Tunan rushes to the kitchen to get Qin Jun out of there, but when he sees what he sees, he forgets what he was going to say for a moment--

Qin Jun crouches on the ground, one hand holding a garbage bag full of worm meat, and the other continuously stuffing untreated worm meat into his mouth, obviously the green worm meat emits a strong odor, but Qin Jun seems to be eating a supreme delicacy.
