Starting With A Space Battleship

The Dark Prairie. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Under the dim sky, a moving steel fortress slowly lowered its sturdy metal spider legs. Then, the ugly steel fortress unfolded its hideous artillery and anti-aircraft missiles in all directions. At the same time, the radar rotated faster, expanding the monitoring range.

Thirty intelligent robots set to work busily.

Everything was ready and a sharp electric drill was inserted into the cold rock.

Ding…

System: “Found [Crystal Marrow Mine]. The reserve of crystal marrow is estimated to be 1684 cubic units.”

Hearing the system prompt, Li Xiaonian clenched his fists excitedly and said cheerfully, “Yang Yue, we get rich. The Dark Prairie does have a crystal marrow mine.”

No one responded. Li Xiaonian turned his head and looked at his side. To his surprise, the pretty girl around him was long gone.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded again.

Ding…

System: “[Spider Fortress] suffered strong electromagnetic interference, and the radar failed.”

System: “[Spider Fortress] suffered an energy failure, the power system stopped operating, and the optical prism self-defense laser stopped operating.”

System: “The nuclear bomb system is paralyzed, and the system automatically switched to manual mode.”

…

Hearing the series of prompts, Li Xiaonian was dumbfounded, and his face turned pale.

At the same time, a huge space battleship appeared in the sky, and the players on the battleship swarmed down. In a blink of an eye, the entire steel fortress was surrounded.

Among these players, there were burly mecha warriors, dragon knights, and mysterious elementalists.

Suddenly, a purple light curtain appeared in the sky, covering the entire spider fortress.

Ding…

System: You have entered the God Punishment Space, and all items and props on you will be deprived after your death.

“…”

Seeing what was happening in front of him, and hearing the system prompts, Li Xiaonian felt a sharp pain in his heart as if his heart was being hacked by countless knives.

Despite its simple look, the spider fortress had an extremely terrifying firepower. If the surveillance radar could detect and lock the enemy fast enough, he was confident that even if there were a few more battleships, they would all be blasted into pieces, not to mention there was only one.

Now, however, all the equipment in the base failed and Yang Yue disappeared. Given the fact that there were only him and Yang Yue in the entire base, it was obvious that Yang Yue had betrayed him.

Swish~

A player with noble temperament wearing colorful armor flapped his wings, gliding down from a height, and stopped in front of Li Xiaonian. With a swish, the glazed wings contracted automatically and disappeared without a trace.

“June, long time no see.” The man looked at Li Xiaonian with a smile.

Li Xiaonian clenched his fist, then loosened it, and asked deadpan, “Shadow Wind, you are doing this to me just for the super space storage device, right?”

Shadow Wind laughed. “It’s easy to talk to smart people. That’s right. As long as you hand over the super space, I’ll immediately leave.”

“I can give it to you.”

Li Xiaonian laughed self-deprecatingly. “But you have to answer me a question. Was Yang Yue your spy from the beginning?”

As soon as he said so, a woman wearing a white skirt appeared. The calm-looking woman took a guilty look at Li Xiaonian and walked slowly to Shadow Wind’s side.

The woman had long black hair, delicate facial features, and a slender figure, looking beautiful and graceful.

She was Yang Yue, Li Xiaonian’s girlfriend, whom Li Xiaonian thought he would marry soon.

Seeing Yang Yue again, Li Xiaonian felt his heart still tingled.

Shadow Wind shrugged and replied simply. “She is not my spy. I just promised her that as long as I get the super space storage device, I will give her a 100 million Yuan commission.”

After getting this answer, Li Xiaonian looked at Yang Yue. “Is it that simple?”

Questioned by Li Xiaonian, Yang Yue nodded calmly. “I never even liked you, let alone ‘loved’ you. No one falls in love with someone that easily. My boyfriend has a serious illness and needs a lot of money. I know that you are very rich and generous, so I deliberately approached you and defrauded you of money, but the money you gave me is far from enough. Therefore, I can only do this, sorry.”

“Haha.”

Li Xiaonian didn’t know what to say. He gave his heart to her in return for a light ‘sorry’. What made him even more uncomfortable was that he was only an ATM in her eyes and all she wanted to do was to save another man.

“Haha… I see.”

It was meaningless to say anymore. Li Xiaonian flicked his arm and threw a gray and quaint bracelet to Shadow Wind. “This is the super space storage device you want. Now get lost.”

Shadow Wind’s eyes lit up, and after checking the bracelet, he nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, that’s what I want.” After a short pause, he continued. “Ahem, now take out all the treasures on you.”

“Don’t push me too hard!” Li Xiaonian scowled.

Everyone thought that his most precious treasure was the super space storage device. However, the super space storage device was only one of the cheapest props he had. His most precious object was a spaceship named [Shadow].

The Shadow, severely damaged, was in a sealed state. In the sealed state, it was infinitely minified and was currently being stored in his pocket.

Over the years, he had earned at least several hundred million gold coins, which was equivalent to tens of billions Yuan of real money, but he used all the money to purchase energy to repair [Shadow] because only when he invested energy to repair the Shadow, would the Shadow give him precious items in return. This was an important reason for his rapid rise.

Shadow Wind looked at Li Xiaonian and smiled. “You seem to be very weak, but I know you are actually very strong. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought all the elites of my guild here. Especially the prop I’m using [God Punishment Space], it almost emptied my savings. Well, as long as you sign a system agreement with me, join my Shadow Guild, and serve the Shadow Guild for ten years, you can keep the rest of your treasures.”

Li Xiaonian’s face turned cold, and he ordered in his heart. “Sky-Propping Magic Armor, activated.”

Click~

A mass of dark red metal gushed from his chest, and red light enveloped his body.

In a short while, Li Xiaonian transformed into a steel giant with a height of ten meters. His forehead was a fierce spike and his two giant arms were made of linear blades that were extremely sharp. There was a huge shield on his back and a light energy sword over ten meters long at his waist.

Li Xiaonian slowly drew out the light energy sword, staring coldly at Shadow Wind. “I’ll give you one last chance, get lost, or else I’ll kill you.”

Seeing the powerful armor suddenly appearing on Li Xiaojian’s body, Yang Yue was inexplicably relieved. “Li Xiaonian, you have S-class armor, but you hid it from me. It can be seen that I’m not that important in your heart. I don’t owe you.” she said.

Hearing Yang Yue’s words, Li Xiaonian sneered calmly and said nothing, trying to leave himself a last bit of dignity.

Could he say that he just acquired this armor yesterday? What was the point of saying it? It would only make him look more pathetic.

Shadow Wind stared at Li Xiaonian’s armor and his eyes were glowing. “S-class shark armor! I want it.”

A set of S-class battle armor was much more valuable than a space battleship. No matter how powerful his Shadow Guild was, he had never owned S-class armor.

“Go to hell!” Li Xiaonian shouted.

Li Xiaonian’s huge figure flickered, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of Shadow Wind, slashing the hot light energy sword down.

Clang~

At the critical moment, a pair of glazed wings popped out from behind Shadow Wind and wrapped him, successfully blocking the fatal blow. Even so, under the huge impact, Shadow Wind was still sent flying backwards.

The wings flapped, and Shadow Wind suspended in the air, looking a little bedraggled. With lingering fears, he looked at Li Xiaonian and thought to himself: What a powerful S-class armor. Fortunately, my wings are made of top metal. Otherwise, I would have been killed.

Seeing the power of the S-class armor, Shadow Wind couldn’t wait to get it. With a wave of his arm, he shouted, “Fire on full power. Kill June at all costs.”

“Death Tentacles!”

The elementalists worked together to summon strips of transparent tentacles, and the tentacles appeared next to Li Xiaonian out of blue, winding around the huge armor.

At the same time.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…

Super warheads bombarded Li Xiaonian’s location overwhelmingly.

Ding…

System: “The Sky-Propping Magic Armor was shackled by invisible objects, and the movement speed of the armor is reduced by 30%.”

System: “The Sky-Propping Magic Armor is corroded by dark air and is damaged by 1%.”

System: “You’re subject to a sonic-wave attack, which the Sky-Propping Magic Armor cannot completely block, and you are in a trance.”

…

Li Xiaonian came back from the trance and his face turned pale. He knew that the Shadow Guild was powerful, but he didn’t expect it to be so powerful. Even if he had S-class armor, he couldn’t resist them.

He had just sobered up and immediately saw super warheads bombarding at him from all directions. He hurriedly manipulated the mecha to evade, and at the same time, missiles were shot out of his giant arms and bombarded the enemy’s missiles.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the missiles exploded violently.

Although some missiles were destroyed, there were still too many enemy missiles.

Swish!

Li Xiaonian increased the speed of his armor to maximum, and in a semi-confined state, he dodged left and right. However, the super warheads, equipped with an automatic tracking function, followed him like shadows.

Having no room to evade, Li Xiaonian took out the huge shield behind his back, gritted his teeth, and held it across in front of him, trying to block the warheads.

Boom! boom! boom! boom…

The densely packed super warheads slammed into the shield, and Li Xiaonian was bombarded and sent flying by violent explosions.

Ding…

System: “Alert, the Sky-Propping Magic Armor was attacked and the right power arm is damaged. The damage degree is 13.56%, and the command response speed is reduced by 36%.”

System: “You’re subject to an ultrasonic-wave attack, which the Sky-Propping Magic Armor cannot completely block, and you are in a trance. ”

Li Xiaonian fell into a trance again.

This trance caused his body to become stiff, and he was greeted by endless super warhead bombings and countless weird attacks.

The bombing lasted more than twenty minutes.

Sparks splashed from the Sky-Propping Magic Armor Li Xiaonian was wearing, which was in a semi-paralyzed state.

Shadow Wind stood high in the sky. After confirming that Li Xiaonian had no power to fight back, he flew down contentedly and stopped in front of Li Xiaonian. “June, how do you feel? Do you feel desperate?”

Li Xiaonian shook his head and stood up from the ground with difficulty.

He lost, he lost very thoroughly. He lost not so much to the Shadow Guild as to a betrayal, to a powerful mysterious overmatch. The Sky-Propping Magic Armor had a powerful defense mechanism but failed to defend against the mysterious ultrasonic attacks. As a result, he couldn’t control the armor, which was a special situation that he had never experienced before.

Seeing him stand up, Shadow Wind took a step back slightly in fright.

“Haha.” Li Xiaonian sneered and said in a cold voice, “Are you sure you won? Do you know why the S-class armor is so rare? Let me show you why the Sky-Propping Magic Armor is ranked as S-class although it seems to be weak.”

After speaking, Li Xiaonian said silently in his heart. “Start the self-destruction program, code name: Vanish!”

System: “The code is correct; self-destructing program of the Sky-Propping Magic Armor activated.”

Buzz…

The Sky-Propping Magic Armor turned into a black hole, frantically devouring all the surrounding energy, and in a blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth began to shake.

Shadow Wind’s face turned ghastly pale with this change, and he hurriedly took to the air, yelling, “Escape, everyone escape from here as fast as possible! Come on! Hurry up!”

Swish, swish, swish…

All the players ran wildly around, and in just a moment, everyone had escaped dozens of miles away.

Just when everyone thought they were safe.

An invisible shock wave spread everywhere, and wherever the shock wave passed, everything turned into dust. Even the space battleship hidden in the void couldn’t escape the fate of turning into dust.
