“Alright, it’s settled then.” Lan Xuanyu nodded in satisfaction.

Deng Bo suddenly felt that it was a little strange. Lan Xuanyu’s words seemed to be different from what he had imagined. Deng Bo knew about their mission this time as well. It was mainly to detect and retrieve some samples. The Federation wanted to see if there was a point in developing that small planet so that the Federation could decide whether to send troops to occupy it.

What about the harvest? Were they going to dig directly on the planet? It wouldn’t be easy to find a rare metal mine.

Deng Bo didn’t really understand what Lan Xuanyu meant even after he was sent off from the warship.

After sending Deng Bo off, the cabin door closed. Lan Xuanyu clapped his hands and attracted everyone’s attention.

Seeing the excitement in his classmates’ eyes, Lan Xuanyu smiled. “From now on, this warship belongs to us. At the same time, from now on, we are no longer students of Shrek Academy. We are pirates. The 33 Sky Wings Pirates. I am Commander Ren, does anyone have any objections?”

The moment he said that, there was a burst of laughter. Pirates, that’s right! They were already registered and were real pirates.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Don’t laugh. Since we’re pirates, we have to do some things that pirates should do in the future. Otherwise, wouldn’t our identities be easily exposed? If our identities are exposed, it would be very unfavorable for our future operations.”

“What should pirates do? We can’t rob merchant ships, right?” Ding Zhuohan asked in confusion.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Of course not. How can we break the Federation’s laws? We are outstanding students from Shrek Academy, but you guys heard what Captain Deng said just now. In the future, we will have to rely on ourselves for our warship’s supplies. To be honest, I am equally excited to be able to use such a large warship, but I did some calculations in my head just now. We have enough supplies and equipment for this mission, but what about next time? What should we do next time? It’s very possible that the profits we get from the mission might not even be as much as what our warship uses up. We have a warship, but we really can’t afford it now.”

Upon hearing this, the smiles on everyone’s faces disappeared.

Everyone knew how to calculate. The last time they were on Proto Dragon Planet, after they returned, their total earnings were about two purple emblems each. The entire class added up to almost 70 purple emblems. This was undoubtedly a considerable amount of wealth, but compared to the warship before them, it was nothing.

Deng Bo said that the Tang Sect had provided them with more than a hundred purple emblems. Their future supply would definitely be similar!

Their harvests on Proto Dragon Planet had far exceeded usual harvests. After all, they had hunted and killed a rank 8 Proto Dragon, and there were so many additional Proto Dragons that they managed to kill during the Proto Dragon Tide.

But it was impossible for every mission to be so rewarding. What if they earned only 10 to 20 purple emblems in a single mission? Would this warship still be able to operate? They probably wouldn’t even have enough rare metals to power it. Just like what Lan Xuanyu said, they knew how to use a warship but they couldn’t afford it.

Bing Tianliang scratched his head. “Then what should we do?”

Lan Xuanyu squinted his eyes and said, “Snatch! The greatest advantage of having a warship is that we can fight in space. It’s obviously impossible to rob a merchant ship, but what if we’re robbing pirates? We don’t have any psychological burden when robbing pirates, do we? We have a Meteor-class assault warship. Most pirates don’t have a warship of this level, not to mention that our warship is a high-tech product of the Tang Sect. Those weaker pirate groups are simply not our opponents. So, while completing the mission, we must at least ensure that we can obtain the resources to support our warship’s continued use. Otherwise, just relying on the mission’s rewards alone, it would be difficult for you guys to accumulate enough resources for your Two-Word Battle Armor.”

Qian Lei’s eyes lit up. “Is this the legendary so-called robbing robbers?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “That’s right, that’s what I meant. Let’s do this, we are a team and a free and fair class. Everyone, raise your hands and let’s make a decision. The minority will obey the majority. Those who agree, please raise your hands.”

As he spoke, he was the first to raise his hand.

Without hesitation, the other 32 pairs of hands were raised.

What was called ‘Newborn calves were not afraid of tigers’? This was it. As a group of hot-blooded youths, they had never considered the possibility of failing while robbing robbers. This was also thanks to the cohesion of the class and their trust in Lan Xuanyu.

Also, most importantly, as students of the Star War Experiment class, what could be more exciting than having a warship and piloting it to battle in space?

Although it had yet to begin, they had already fallen in love with this warship. If they were told that they could no longer use the warship after its energy was depleted, none of them would be willing! To them, no matter what happened in the future, being able to pilot a warship at this age and accumulate experience in piloting it was an extremely valuable asset.

Hence, everyone knew that Lan Xuanyu’s choice was the most correct regardless of whether it was the hot-blooded youths or the rational ones.

They had no psychological burden in robbing pirates. How could there be anything good in space pirates? They were just a bunch of murderers.

“Let’s go, then!” Lan Xuanyu waved his hand. The 33 Sky Wings pirate warship slowly lit up, and as energy spewed out, the gigantic warship soared into the sky and headed straight for the sea of stars.

Deng Bo stood in the distance and watched as the warship with the emblem of 33 wings slowly rose into the sky. For some reason, he suddenly had the feeling that a demon had appeared in his heart. ‘This bunch of reckless kids wouldn’t really do anything, right? I don’t know what the sect is thinking, but they actually gave them a warship and equipped them with so many weapons. I hope they’re just going on a mission and won’t do anything out of line.’

Why did Deng Bo emphasize that Lan Xuanyu and his team had to buy the resources for the warship by themselves in the future? He didn’t want them to use the equipment on the warship to fight in space.

Without the energy consumption from a battle, the energy stored in the warship was enough for Lan Xuanyu and his team to carry out two or three missions. They only bought some cheap rare metals to support their power and use it as a means of transportation. They should have enough energy to carry out missions. The weapons they were equipped with were mainly to ensure their safety.

He didn’t know that under his provocation, these youths had a different interpretation…

The ‘pirate ship’ of the 33 Sky Wings charged out of the Mother Planet’s atmosphere like a wild horse and accelerated at full speed towards its destination.

Compared to the previous mission, Lan Xuanyu’s team was like a bird exchanging a gun for a cannon. The warship was theirs and they could fly as fast as they wanted. They had ample energy reserves and under his command, the warship began to cruise at high speed.

In terms of space fighter piloting, Ding Zhuohan was the one with the best results in the class. This kid had a fanaticism towards space. Although he had vomited all over the place during his first piloting session, he wasn’t intimidated and instead enjoyed the thrill.

Hence, other than Lan Xuanyu, Ding Zhuohan was ranked the highest in terms of piloting a space fighter. He had even surpassed Lan Xuanyu’s teammates, which showed his talent in piloting. Hence, his desire for a Sky Wing mecha was much stronger than the others.

Lan Xuanyu stood up from the main control seat and called Ding Zhuohan over to let him be in charge of the main control. Since it was the cruising phase, he naturally didn’t have to pay too much attention to it. He had to start forging on his own. It had been many days since he had forged properly. With this time on the spacecraft, he could continue his Fuse Forging. With the Proto Dragon Ore, he was hoping to try out its benefits through forging, as well as the most suitable ratio of Proto Dragon Ore to be added during the Fuse Forging process.
