Chapter 1217: Giving Alice a Specific Task_2

Chapter 1217 -676: Giving Alice a Specific Task_2

A creature with a normal lifespan might never cross this vast light-year distance in their lifetime, to understand existences far beyond their own capabilities.

However, wormholes do exist in the interstellar world.

But wild wormholes are too dangerous, and their destinations are completely random. If you can only rely on luck, it’s something Shen Sui doesn’t want to encounter.

Artificially created wormholes, however, don’t have these concerns, but their price…

Anyway, those guys who make artificial warp wormholes definitely don’t work for free.

Since Alice has nothing to do right now, let her explore the Soul Card World and see if she can find a teleport anchor point closer to the central planet of the Interstellar Federation.

Alice was evidently very interested in this task.

“Is that all the tasks?” She was almost ready to take action.

Shen Sui smiled and said, “That’s all for now. The interstellar world is vast enough to keep you exploring for a while.”

The interstellar world is incredibly large, and with vast distances between people, Alice will need to find people if she wants to stir things up, right?

Thinking like this, Shen Sui confidently began to study his deck.

Although most opponents in the promotion tournament are familiar rivals, Shen Sui wouldn’t dare be even slightly contemptuous.

Being able to retain their rank through the grand purge, these Life Card Masters are top-notch everywhere.

Facing such opponents, Shen Sui must show enough respect.

Otherwise, if things go wrong, he would seriously regret it.

The next morning, Alice eagerly set off.

When she arrived at the Exploration Bureau, it happened to be Wang Ming’s work time.

“You’re actually this early?” Wang Ming saw Alice at the door and smiled helplessly.

Alice took out breakfast prepared by Qishala for her: “Want some? Qishala’s cooking is the best!”

Wang Ming accepted Alice’s offer.

Alice took the opportunity to explain her intentions.

Wang Ming had largely guessed what she wanted and confirmed Alice’s idea:

“Indeed, truly habitable planets are still too few, each several light-years apart.” Wang Ming ate breakfast, his eyes lighting up, “Wow! So delicious?!”

“I told you, Qishala’s cooking is absolutely great!” Alice said proudly.

Wang Ming wasn’t unfamiliar with Qishala’s desserts, which were excellent.

But this was the first time he had eaten breakfast like this with fried dough sticks and buns.

“I’ll give you a list later; try them one by one,” Wang Ming continued.

As for how to get a spaceship, it’s not something Wang Ming knows.

Alice didn’t mind; even if she knew the method, she hadn’t followed the usual path before.

With the Exploration Bureau’s guidance, Alice soon arrived at the first teleport node.

It’s a planet at the edge of the Arunta Empire.

Arunta’s pioneers developed it into a small fortress.

The planet’s interior has been hollowed out and filled with various weapons.

When Alice arrived, a festival was underway.

As a border fortress, it’s long been a focal point for various battles.

With the Arunta Empire and Interstellar Federation becoming increasingly tense, this fortress planet naturally became a key point of contention.

“Arunta Empire…” Alice thought, rubbing her chin.

She wasn’t sure which side of Arunta Empire’s border this was.

If it’s the furthest point from the Interstellar Federation, Alice would certainly choose to restart without hesitation.

For the people on this planet, such a festival is rare.

Soon, perhaps, Federation warships will descend upon them.

Luckily, there’s a festival; otherwise, given the Empire’s police force’s high intensity, Alice would likely have been caught for questioning by now.

Alice quietly observed the festivities among the crowd.

She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of existence Claude once was in this world.

“Hello, may I ask…” Alice quickly collected her thoughts and decided to handle her business first.

She intended to inquire from the nearby reveler how far it was to her destination.

But before she could finish asking, flames erupted in the distance.

Then came the explosion.

An attack?

Alice was shocked, intending to immediately deploy the Dawn Fire Ring to regain extraordinary power.

“We don’t want war!”

“We want peace!”

Young people about to be sent to the battlefield took this chance to avoid a fate of cannon fodder.

Alice initially thought the protest would quickly end, familiar as she was with the strength of the Arunta Empire.

But soon, things spiraled out of control.

This planet is small, with limited population capacity.

Thus, the residents are very closely connected.

In just a few days, the Empire police were repelled countless times.

Considering the secrets housed in the fortress, the Empire ultimately issued a destruction order.

Destruction order, meaning to disregard casualties and physically eliminate a planet.

The Arunta Empire lacks nothing in the way of iron fists.

In dealing with rebellious small planets, they don’t even consider negotiation.

Just destroy them.

At worst, they’ll conquer new planets later.

The universe is full of planets.

With current technology, turning planets with extreme conditions into livable ones is possible.

When the Empire’s battleships came into range and people could see the ships’ massive main guns through telescopes, everyone on the planet felt despair.

For Alice, the sight of the battleships excited her.

Claude asked me to find a battleship.

Isn’t this just ready-made!

Alice was thrilled and decided to act immediately.

Her efficiency remained high.

She used magic to clear a path, advancing quickly.

Then… Alice was dumbfounded.

She’s encountered a small problem.

Alice’s magic was too effective.

The humans in this world have no magical resistance.

Therefore, attacks that Alice thought wouldn’t be lethal ended up killing.

Now comes the problem…

Who will pilot the spaceship?

Alice stared at the densely packed buttons and pondered.

Forget it!

I reckon driving this thing isn’t much different from driving a cart.

With this in mind, Alice decided to go ahead recklessly.

Turns out, Alice’s reckless actions rarely fail.

With her varied attempts, the spaceship indeed started moving.

It’s just… with so many controls, it would be exhausting for one person to pilot the ship.

Could the Empire not add a bit more intelligence to this thing?

In the interstellar era.

Alice thought as such.

Thus, she decided to recruit some crew members to assist in piloting the spaceship.

And the inhabitants of this planet, trembling under the threat of cannon fire, were clearly unwilling to accept imperial rule.

Soon, Alice gathered enough crew members.

Then another issue arose.

You have a crew, but who’s the captain?

At least there should be a vice-captain, right?

Although Alice could pilot, she’s here to scout. If this path is unworkable, she plans to leave and find the next anchor point.

Having someone who can pilot the spaceship after she’s gone is pretty important.

Thankfully, Alice quickly found a solution to this issue:

Why not hijack a pilot capable of operating such a battleship?!

Where would one find such a pilot?

Naturally, on the spaceship!

She clearly overlooked one detail: if she abducts the pilot from this ship, who’s going to pilot the newly hijacked ship?

The next day, when Shen Sui woke from his sleep and instinctively checked his dueling device to see Alice’s progress, he was dumbfounded.

[Alice, commanding her fleet, broke through the Arunta Empire’s encirclement.]

Wait! Fleet?

Where did you get a fleet?!
