Chapter 93: I Didn’t Do Anything

As the Grey-Faced Buzzard slowly made its way along a new route after leaving Planet Constlac, Gu Ding and his crew had yet set where their new destination was. Moreover, the matter of Robert needing Energy Crystals was still under discussion.

“Neptune, can’t we use an alternative energy source if we aren’t able to find the Energy Crystals that Robert needs?” Gu Ding felt that it was easier to find an alternative rather than pinning their hopes on Energy Crystals that they had no clue about.

“Theoretically, it’s feasible. That’s because intelligent life forms like them should have an intelligent energy conversion system in their body. It’s just that it’s been a long time since the Middle Ages and the present time. Most types of energy ores we have now are completely different from the ones of that era. Therefore, I’m not sure if his body’s energy conversion system is compatible with them.” Neptune thought that the idea was feasible.

“We can find more energy ores to try it out.” Liliath also thought that it was the best they could do. “If one type doesn’t work, we’ll just find another type. If the second type doesn’t work, we’ll just get a third type. We won’t stop until we find one he can use.”

“Alright. Neptune, let’s go to the closest area with the most abundant resources.” Since they had decided on the solution, Gu Ding immediately set their next destination.

“Along our new route, there’s a star sector called the Mayor Sector at the edge of the Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. That star sector has the most ore deposits out of the entire Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation.” Neptune quickly found the place that had the most ore deposits.

“Let’s go to the Mayor Sector!” Gu Ding grinned.

While Gu Ding propulsed along their next route, the Federal Government published a list of suspects from the Planet Constlac incident.

“When the incident broke out, there were thirty-two crews that were still on Planet Constlac. Out of the thirty-two, thirty of them had at least three crew members, and twenty-three of them were composed of Interstellar Pirates.

“Out of the thirty-two crews, twenty-five of them have eyewitness testimonies. They were either seen by us during the war, seen by the guards that we had sent, or seen by the surveillance cameras. It’s safe to say that none of them got to the superweapon.”

“Tell me about the remaining seven crews!” ordered a middle-aged man that had a steady composure. The man was in the pilot’s seat.

“Out of the remaining seven crews, Gu Ding and Liliath are both new pirates. According to our information, they have yet recruited a third person. Not to mention, they also had a small conflict with one of our guards who confirmed the number of members in their crew. Therefore, we’ve excluded them from the superweapon self-destructing incident. However, we suspect that the starport platform canopy failure and the leakage of information regarding the superweapons were related to them.”

“We’ve checked the records of those two newcomers. Gu Ding appears to have invaded the Skyriver Sector’s prison system before this. The malfunctioning of the seventy-two armor-piercing cannon as well as the failure of the starport platform canopy system was probably his doing. Although we don’t have definitive evidence that it was him, the two incidents seem too similar to be merely coincidences. It would also mean that the newcomer’s hacking skill level is quite high.

“When they were on Planet Constlac, Gu Ding made prank calls disguised as the family members of our guards to distract them. At that time, the two guards momentarily forgot about the planet’s signal shield. When they tried to call back, they realized that the signal shield had been breached. After the signal shield was breached, the starport canopy control system was also hacked. Out of the thirty-two crews, it seems like he’s the most likely to do such things.

“On the other hand, we’re still not sure how he got the mission name list. Although it wasn’t 100% accurate, it’s still very bizarre. That’s because when your lordship tasked Wendell and me to complete the mission, I didn’t know who Wendell had selected and Wendell didn’t know who I had selected. This is before we moved out for the mission. Moreover, we replaced that day’s surveillance with a new memory chip, and I destroyed the original memory chip. There’s no way they could’ve gotten hold of the surveillance video.”

“That means you don’t understand the full potential of those two kids.” The middle-aged man looked at the projection that showed Gu Ding and Liliath’s bounty. He stared at the projection for half a second before he said, “Double their bounties. Out of the remaining six crews, which crew is the most suspectable?”

“The most suspectable crew at the moment is The Fated Ones. The crew captain is Destiny. The most suspicious thing about them is that they added an unknown intelligent robot to their crew a few months ago. There’s a chance the robot is from the Mechanical Tribe of the Middle Ages. Furthermore, the robot was only seen at the starport on the first day. As for the remaining two days, the robot was never seen, and they left right after the explosion.”

“Sounds suspicious indeed.” The middle-aged man nodded after listening. “Try your best to catch them and make sure they’re alive. Perhaps we may even get some information about the superweapons from them.”

“Captain, the Federal Government has issued a new bounty order!” a muddle-headed robot shouted excitedly on a poor shaped Black Crow grade spaceship.

“Everyone, come and see!” called a short and stout man to everyone.

“Those two newcomers are so arrogant… The one called Gu Ding has a bounty that surpasses mine!” Destiny was dissatisfied when he saw the bounty for Gu Ding and Liliath.
