BXBX NOVEL Chapter 199 - 199: Just Do It!
40,000 km/s.
50,000 km/s.
Wang Ye continued to accelerate the nuclear-powered starship.
Beside him sat Nante, who had a curious and eager look on his face.
After piloting the Munro Fighter Jet N0.1, he developed an addiction to piloting starships.
To put it simply, he was addicted though he wasn’t the best at it.
“Crack.” The nuclear-powered starship’s speed stopped at 60,000 km/s, which was one-fifth of the speed of light.
The speed stabilized.
Although the highest speed of this well-equipped nuclear power starship was close to 100,000 km/s, that would consume a lot of energy.
They didn’t have time to replenish their energy supply while whizzing through space.
One-fifth of the speed of light was right in the balanced range. It allowed the nuclear-powered starship to travel steadily while continuously absorbing hydrogen atoms from the void and converting them into energy.
Plus, it was still twice as fast as a normal nuclear-powered ship.
“Let me do it!” Nante’s eyes were glowing.
“Sure.” Wang Ye handed the controls to Nante.
Although there was no Hongqi Supernet to plan the route, there were not many obstacles in the vast starry sky.
Ordinary rocks could not cause any damage to the starship, so normal flight was not difficult at all.
H
It’s so stable.” Wang Ye stood on the nuclear-powered-powered starship and couldn’t feel any vibrations at all. It was as if he was on flat ground.
Compared to the lowest-grade starships like the starship bases, it was much better.
With an average speed that was increased by 20 times, they quickly flew toward the Oort Cloud.
They would reach in about five cosmic days.
There wasn’t much difference between manual control and Hongqi Supernet’s control except that the latter was more detailed and would not make mistakes.
As for the former… There were no mistakes to make, but it required manpower.
Someone had to be sitting in the main control room.
When Nante got tired of driving, he would make the two chief engineers take turns driving.
A starship must have repairmen, who were more important than women…
Wang Ye entered the storage room.
Opening the second door was like opening a vault.
A large number of energy crystals were piled up randomly. Wang Ye cleared an empty area in the middle and then took a three-star energy crystal to absorb it.
There were no four-star energy crystals here. On the one hand, it was because they were more expensive. On the other hand, Munro King Amber had only cultivated the stage 3 Compressing Spell, so he was unable to break down the energy of a four-star energy crystal.
Whoosh!
Disintegration and absorption!
Soar!
Boundless energy surged into his body. Even though the transformation of his cells was slower, the expansion of his psyche was astonishing!
The effect was much stronger than when absorbing a one-star energy crystal.
50%!
60%!
70%!
In a short cosmic day, his progress as a level 8 New Star ability user increased from 45% to 78%!
It was so fast! He was not far from breaking through.
“My body’s improvement is a little slow.” Wang Ye looked at the progress.
Perfection level 8 genetic warrior, 20%.
In one cosmic day, it increased by 18%.
It was a little too much to say that it was slow, but compared to his progress as an ability user, it was only half.
It had nothing to do with his talent as a warrior.
After all, humans on four-star life planets were born with genetic defects and were imperfect, so their upper limit was lower than that of humans on high-level life planets.
That being said, with enough resources, he could still quickly reach the cosmic level.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three nuclear-powered starships passed through the wormhole of Colony Planet 996.
The ninth team of the Munro Guards!
“Can you confirm their location?” Captain Munro Uttina’s eyes were stern.
“The other party has completely dismantled the Hongqi Supernet, so we can’t get their location through the internet,” The female assistant said.
“What about from Jiutian Heavy Industry Company?” Munro Uttina asked.
“They refused to provide the location of the starship,” The female assistant said. “Do we need to apply to the superiors?”
“Not yet. They need to run some repairs before they set off,” Munro Uttina said. “They won’t be able to escape too far away. Plus, there shouldn’t be any other nuclear-powered starships nearby. Activate the magnetic field search of the Hongqi Supernet.”
“Yes, my Lord.” The female assistant quickly carried it out.
After a long time.
“I have the coordinates, sir, but there are two nuclear-powered-driven starships in the search area of the Hongqi Supernet.”
Munro Uttina was slightly stunned. He opened the information and read it carefully. “The one closest to us has a stronger magnetic field. It should be the target, Wang Ye. The other one is just a normal nuclear-powered starship.”
“Do we need to send a signal?” the female assistant asked.
“There’s no need. It could be a family that has come to find a life planet,” Munro Uttina said. “It could also be a galactic adventure team. There’s no need to cause more trouble.”
“Understood.” The female assistant nodded.
Munro Uttina immediately ordered, “Prepare the energy. Activate the highest acceleration and pursue Wang Ye!”
“Yes, captain!”

Breakthrough!
Level 9 ability user.
In less than two cosmic days, he broke through.
Wang Ye sighed with emotion.
This cultivation speed was heaven-defying.
And this was not his fastest speed. If he could get a large number of four-star energy crystals, his cultivation speed could be doubled!
Still, at the moment, it completely surpassed the time when he absorbed one-star energy crystals.
Most importantly, the decrease of energy crystals in the storeroom was insignificant as if they had never been touched. The room was still full.
He had completed his cultivation for this cosmic day.
Perfection level 8 genetic warrior, 38%!
Level 9 New Star ability user, 6%!
“The three-star energy crystals are enough.” Wang Ye quickly calculated. “Based on my current speed, I will be able to break through to become a perfection level 9 genetic warrior in another four cosmic days. As for my progress as a New Star ability user, it should reach 100% in about six cosmic days. We’ll be in the Oort Cloud by then.”
Then, he left the storage room.
The chief engineer was the one who was in charge of the main control room.
As a great technician, to think he had to manually pilot a starship.
It was quite boring to fly a starship manually. Just like how one would be somewhat excited when one first got on the highway, but after driving for two hours, one would become numb. After driving for twenty hours… It would just feel like one was stuck in a highway jam.
“Where’s Nante?” Wang Ye looked at Xin Ran.
With snow-white skin, a voluptuous figure, and a vast amount of knowledge, the new female assistant was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
“Absorbing energy stones.” Xin Ran put down the thick book in her hand and looked over.
“Weren’t there no energy stones?” Wang Ye was surprised.
“I found some empty energy crystals and used the Condensation Spell to gather some cosmic energy,” Xin Ran said.
“You can use the Condensation Spell?” Wang Ye was surprised.
“It’s not difficult. But I’ve only cultivated it to stage 1,” Xin Ran said calmly.
The Condensation Spell was a cosmic-level ability spell. It allowed one to gather the energy of the cosmic and fuse it for one’s use.
New Star ability users could only use the ability in their psyche, but cosmic-level ability users could use the endless energy of the cosmic.
The stronger the Condensation Spell, the more cosmic energy one could utilize.
“Teach me when the time comes,” Wang Ye said.
He did not lack evolution techniques, especially when he had enough energy crystals.
However, he lacked a cosmic-level ability.
Furthermore, the Condensation Spell was the foundation of the five major cosmic-level ability spells.
“Sure, but my cultivation level is too low. It might be difficult for me to teach you,” Xin Ran said.
“It’s okay. You’ll have plenty of time to teach me step by step,” Wang Ye said.
Xin Ran stared at him and was silent for a while before saying, “You are a good person, so 1 don’t want to lie to you. You don’t have much time left.”
Oh?” Wang Ye looked at her.
“The Munro Guards will search for the starship’s location through the Hongqi Supernet’s large magnetic field,” Xin Ran said. “Unless the nuclear-powered starship stops flying, the energy changes will definitely be discovered.”
“Then, they’ll use their inexhaustible reserve energy to keep increasing the speed to the maximum and hunt us down, right?” Wang Ye said with a smile.
Xin Ran’s eyes widened. “You know?”
Wang Ye nodded. “When we were modifying the starship, I asked the two chief engineers. Our maximum acceleration is almost the same at 93,000 kilometers per second. However, we can’t get back up energy.”
“You’ve thought of a solution?” Xin Ran looked at Wang Ye.
“There are many. The first thing I thought of was to fake my death to escape,” Wang Ye said. “But the Hongqi Supernet has already recorded my information. The Munro Guards probably know my talent and won’t let me escape easily.”
Xin Ran nodded.
Wang Ye continued, “After that, I thought of using the unique geographical environment of the Oort Cloud to create the illusion that the starship had lost control and crashed into a comet. Then, I would hide. It’s not easy to search for life in the boundless Oort Cloud. But the danger level is still too high.”
“After considering everything…” Wang Ye suddenly laughed. “I decided to not hide anymore. Just do it! If you hide too much, you will easily lose your fighting spirit and willpower. It’s better to take a risk in the most dangerous situation.”
“According to the information you gave, the 9th team of the Munro Guards has one captain and two sub-captains, plus a Dark Energy-level warrior. They are indeed very strong. Just the two sub-captains are probably stronger than Lu Jie, let alone the captain. When 1 fought Lu Jie, 1 was only at the New Star level. Although I’m still a New Star Lifeform now, it won’t be for long.”
“After entering the Oort Cloud, it won’t be easy to locate us with the Hongqi Supernet. With our current energy supply, we should be able to delay being discovered for ten to twenty cosmic days. This period is enough for my strength to undergo a qualitative change. Nante has a high chance of becoming a cosmic-level warrior too. With the best dark energy weapons and equipment, there is a chance that we can take a gamble.”
Wang Ye smiled.
Xin Ran looked at the young man in front of her and her heart inexplicably beat faster.
She did not have a good impression of him before.
One was due to his identity.
She was an ordinary human from a five-star life planet, but Wang Ye was only an inferior human from a colony planet.
The second was due to their encounter.
She had a bright future ahead of her, having managed to pass three rounds of interviews and becoming the assistant of the Colony Inspector. Yet, she had been inexplicably captured. Although she did not become a prisoner, it was not any better. She became a chess piece that others could play with. Even if Wang Ye wanted her, she couldn’t resist. It would be her first time, but it was far less important than her life.
But now… Looking at this human from a colony planet, Xin Ran was suddenly tempted.
His ability, his courage, his determination…
Wang Ye’s performance in the past few days had made her feel that he was different from the humans on Munro Planet.
There was a desire to break out of the cage and a fearless power in him!
He had an incomparably strong heart.
Moreover, he was a good person and not lecherous.
“Are you confident?” Xin Ran looked at the first man who had moved her heart and didn’t want him to lose.
“Thirty percent.” Wang Ye laughed..
