Chapter 1364: 447. Hook salt bait straight
In the first few days after the ck Hole Magic Academy was established, Nnd Lee was actually ined” about by the United Bureau.
Since man-made ck holes possess certain destructive powers, yers’ ships would be destroyed if they parked too close to them.
Despite Nnd Lee’s repeated reminders for yers to use escape pods instead of ships to reach the Academy, there were still incidents where the United Bureau’s Navy Warships were identally damaged.
A sizable portion of yers had high reputation values within the United Bureau, which allowed them to rent warships from the Space Navy.
They carelessly parked the warships near the ck hole, then carelessly let them be damaged by the ck hole, and finally, carelessly took away valuable items such as military radars andputers just before the warships were sucked into the ck hole.
This series of events lead to the loss of standard warships for the United Bureau, and yers who rented these warships colluded with outsiders to strip them of high-value equipment.
...
In essence, yers renting the warships were exchanging their United Bureau reputation points for a considerable amount of Credit Points.
I have to say, when ites to cunning stratagems, yers are the most cunning.
This was just an excellent way to quickly cash in on faction reputation!
Just within the first week of the Academy’s opening, many yers made a fortune using this method.
There was no choice, to prevent further losses, the United Bureau had Captain Leighton contact Nnd Lee, hoping he could mitigate the destructiveness of the ck hole.
Nnd Lee thought about it and found it reasonable.
If the yers didn’t include him in their ns to strip the warship’s equipment using the ck hole, then why should he help them destroy the warships?
Therefore, Nnd Lee adjusted theyout around the ck hole’s perimeter and manually created an istion zone encircling the entire ck hole.
Outside the istion zone, yers could dock their ships, and the ck hole wouldn’t harm these ships.
But if anyone parked inside the istion zone, they could kiss their ship goodbye, as the ck hole would immediately destroy it, and the incident would be considered the yer’s fault, with the United Bureau not providing insurance services.
If a rented warship was lost inside the istion zone, the renter would have to reimburse the United Bureau for the full amount of the loss.
With this, the yers’ devious schemes were finally curbed.
At the same time, the public area outside the istion zone also saw a bustling scene of heavy traffic.
The ce was like a multi-level parking lot.
Constantly floating at fixed coordinates, the shing signal strips formed the passageways, parking spots, indicators, and boundary lines of the 3D parking lot for ships.
Ships of various sizes docked in different zones.
Between each docking spot, shimmering signal strips acted as boundary lines.
No matter what kind of ship it was, under the guidance of holographic projections, they could find their own “parking spot.”
For the yers, this was a manifestation of order.
But for the Redemption Angel Team here to plunder, the well-organized docking arrangement was undeniably a big help to them.
Merely by visual observation, the Plundering Team could tell which docking areas had the most yers and where the highest-grade ships were located.
Advanced Battleships indeed had plenty of high-end equipment, but the Plundering Team’s goal this time was to capture the yers’ bodies.
Thus, after figuring out the pattern of the docking, the Plundering Team decisively abandoned the luxury battleships they had originally targeted and flew towards the Escort Ship docking area instead.
There, the escort ships were packed tightly together like tadpoles, resembling a vast metallic structure floating in space.
One escort ship corresponded to at least one yer pilot.
With so many escort ships gathered together, how many yers might there be?
Even more crucially, the Plundering Team learned from yers who had joined the Alliance that all yers who entered the Academy in soul form would leave their bodies fully intact within the ships.
Just thinking about the many vibrant, healthy, unconscious yer bodies avable for them to manipte at will made the NPCs within the Plundering Team’s blood boil with excitement.
However, an ident urred all too soon.
The Plundering Team had barely flown under invisibility status for less than three minutes before someone in the team reported an anomaly.
“Captain Akjaso, it seems something is wrong with the undead pilots in our team.”
The Redemption Group’s Plundering Team had twomunication channels.
One was the battlemunication channel that included yers, while the other was an encryptedmunication channel used only by the Alliance’s native pilots.
The team member reporting the issue was a native pilot from the Alliance, using the encryptedmunication channel, out of hearing range from the yers.
His duty in the team was to act as an inspector monitoring the yers on the escort ships.
Just now, he suddenly noticed the yer piloting the escort ship had a vacant look, with staring eyes, a slightly open mouth, and a dumbfounded expression.
Almost at the same time, every inspector on each ship began reporting the same situation!
The Undying who had just joined the Alliance not long before had all turned into bona fide simpletons.
No matter how much the inspectors pped or stimted them, the Undying showed no response.
Upon hearing the news, Captain Akjaso immediately reduced the Artificial Angels’ flight speed and began observing the condition inside the ships through the CCTV Cameras.
“What’s happening? Why have all the undead pilots be paralyzed?”
Akjaso, floating in the brain fluid of the Artificial Angels, was utterly bewildered.
The pilot beside him was equally baffled.
