Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 161 Special Person

The fleeing assassin didn't notice the shadow in the sky at all.

He didn't expect Chen Ming to be able to fly.

He didn't expect Chen Ming to be able to lock his position so quickly in the chaos outside.

With the dull hammering sound that Chen Ming was very familiar with, one of the assassin's calves was separated from his body.

The blood sprayed from the broken limbs extended several meters behind the assassin who fell forward due to inertia.

After breaking the assassin's leg, the bullet of the electromagnetic javelin continued to be deeply embedded in the underground of the space station city.

Although the space station was designed to support the construction of a city at the beginning, the strength and support capacity of the ground are quite strong.

However, the ultra-high penetration performance of the electromagnetic javelin modified by Chen Ming still allowed the projectile to penetrate the ground easily.

It would take some effort to dig it out.

At this moment, the assassin who fell to the ground with a broken leg did not give up struggling. He picked up the pistol with one hand and tried to support his body with the other hand.

But in the next moment, the gun in his hand and his palm were completely smashed with another hammer blow.

The assassin's face was full of pain, but he still barely straightened his upper body with the elbow of his broken arm, and the other intact hand still wanted to reach his waist.

But Chen Ming would never give him any chance to resist.

The projectile of the electromagnetic javelin shattered his remaining palm again.

This time, the violent impact even pulled his arm and swung it in a circle, causing him to fall directly on his back on the ground.

Blood was all over the assassin's surroundings, and he completely lost the ability to resist.

In his eyes, at this moment, only Chen Ming was flying in the sky.

And the electromagnetic javelin locked on him in Chen Ming's hand.

His last thought before he fell into a coma was regret.

At this time, the bar security, led by glasses, finally drove to the scene according to Chen Ming's instructions.

They successfully controlled the assassin before he lost too much blood, bandaged him and stopped the bleeding, and did not let him die.

However, the chaos caused by the gunshot just now has not ended.

After all, less than two minutes have passed since the gunshots were fired until the assassin was solved by Chen Ming.

The people from the Space Station Administration have not had time to arrive.

In addition to the reason for the assassin's shooting at the beginning, the current chaos is actually related to Chen Ming.

After the gunshots were fired, many people saw Chen Ming wearing a set of obvious combat power armor, flying in the no-fly zone of the space station.

He even used a weapon to cut a person into a human stick.

This does not look like the chaos can be quickly calmed down.

However, as the assassin fell into a coma, the gunshots subsided.

There are still many brave people gathering at the place where the accident happened.

After all, they are people living on the pirate space station. Even if they are not pirates, they are much braver than people in serious places when facing such things.

In addition, several bar security guards wearing glasses are still giving emergency medical measures to the assassin. They don't look like they are going to kill people, so the onlookers are even braver.

I could still vaguely hear people who had been drinking in the bar spreading the news of what they had just seen.

Chen Ming, who was flying in the air, naturally became the main topic of discussion among the crowd.

Chen Ming also knew that he could not continue to attract attention in the sky, so he slowed down the output power of the jetpack and slowly landed around the glasses.

Seeing this, Glasses quickly stood up from the assassin's side and bowed slightly to Chen Ming, saying, "Mr. Chen Ming, how do you deal with this person?"

After all, the assassin had obviously intended to assassinate Chen Ming, so he must ask Chen Ming's opinion.

"Just hand it over to Boss Wu."

Chen Ming was not good at interrogation, so this kind of thing should be left to reliable people.

Relying on Chen Ming's power armor and the electromagnetic javelin in his hand that was enough to serve as a small weapon for ships.

Glasses and his men quickly squeezed the crowd outside with the assassin and carried the person to the bar's car.

But they didn't have time to leave.

A medium-sized shuttle with the Administration logo had landed nearby.

Following it, a red and white medical shuttle with sirens flashing also landed nearby.

Because Chen Ming had informed the factory director and the boss in advance, the people from the Administration arrived at the scene about four minutes after the incident broke out.

It was fast enough.

A team of guards wearing better equipment than before quickly came down from the medium-sized shuttle.

Several people from the guard team approached immediately.

They quickly drove away the crowd just like when Yu Hui deliberately released a ship to self-detonate and carry out a terrorist attack, causing the dock to be blocked. And pulled up the blockade.

Only Chen Ming and the glasses were left, and they left directly because they felt uncomfortable.

A person who was probably the captain of this team came forward and asked Chen Ming, who was wearing power armor, "Is this Mr. Chen Ming?"

"It's me."

After Chen Ming admitted it, the captain said again: "The deputy director asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"We will help you block the news of this incident. Fortunately, it happened in this neighborhood and didn't spread out in time. It shouldn't have a large-scale impact. But please keep this matter confidential."

"Okay, thank him for me."

The captain pointed to the medical shuttle next to him and asked: "Do you need medical assistance?"

Chen Ming didn't even need to turn his head to confirm the assassin's condition and said: "Yes."

The captain greeted the doctor on the medical shuttle, then saluted Chen Ming and turned around to take his team members to deal with other things.

They also need to confirm the assassin's situation along the way, as well as everything that happened at the bar at the beginning.

Sort out the whole picture of the whole thing, write a report and submit it.

Then modify the report to a suitable form according to the arrangement of the superiors.

After receiving the captain's signal, several doctors and nurses dragged the assassin onto their medical shuttle

The assassin's injuries were treated again urgently.

Broken hands and a leg are not minor injuries, and there is no way to treat them without professional medical equipment.

The casual treatment of Glasses and the others just now only temporarily stopped the assassin's bleeding. If no follow-up treatment is carried out, the assassin may die at any time.

Fortunately, the skills of the doctors of the Administration are relatively reliable, and there are also professional quota equipment on the shuttle, which quickly rescued the man from the brink of death.

However, what awaits him may be something more terrible than death.

The captain later confirmed with Chen Ming whether he needed other help, and after confirming that there was no need, he let Chen Ming go directly.

Only a security guard who followed out was left to cooperate with the store manager who was still in the bar to deal with things.

It has to be said that it is really comfortable to do many things if you have connections with the upper level.

If Chen Ming did not have these connections, then he would not be able to take the assassin away intact, and he might have to go to the bureau with the people of the Administration.

Fortunately, the hypothetical situation did not happen.

Chen Ming can still take the assassin, who has been out of danger of life with the powerful medical technology of this era, to Glasses' car.

Together with several security guards, he went to the boss's place.

When Chen Ming got in the car, he dismantled the power armor and sat in the passenger seat in casual clothes.

The driver's glasses kept peeking at Chen Ming through the corner of his eyes and the side mirror, but Chen Ming didn't care.

He just touched his forehead, where he was hit by the bullet.

There was not even a red mark left here.

His long-term training of psychic power was meaningful after all.

From the beginning, he only mastered the abilities of [Repair] and [Transformation], until now he can skillfully use the ability of [Manufacturing] at will.

He is no longer the little scoundrel who was powerless.

Of course, it was also because of the spiritual awakening nerve he absorbed.

But this was also an opportunity that Chen Ming found with everything he had mastered.

This sudden assassination was just a small episode for him now.

An hour later.

Chen Ming sat in the boss's hardware store, looking at the new star-level blueprint displayed on the terminal in his hand.

He was thinking about how to realize the value of this blueprint.

At this moment, the boss suddenly walked out of the room in the hardware store and said to Chen Ming: "The result is out."

"It is indeed the subordinates of the few people in the war zone who have a grudge against you, but it is not a premeditated assassination. It is just something that the people in the war zone do privately."

"This person is considered a spy and has his own job, but he doesn't need to go to work today, so he just found a place to kill time, and then he noticed you."

"Your name is still very noticeable in the war zone."

"And it seems that they have a reward for you."

"So this person couldn't help it when he saw your head, and thought about taking action directly."

"The result is like this."

Chen Ming turned off the terminal in his hand and asked: "Is it an accident?"

The boss clicked The leader said, "It was an accident."

"Then how should this matter be handled?"

"How else can it be handled? In addition to his death, many other people have to accompany him on the road."

Chen Ming didn't quite understand and asked, "What does it mean?"

"It means that the people in the war zone took the initiative to expose all the people on a line related to him, so basically everyone on this line has to die."

"It was the war zone that took the initiative to do so, so even if this matter is not an accident, it can only be an accident."

After hearing this, Chen Ming became even more confused and asked, "Why do you say that? And don't they want me to die? Why would they be willing to lose so many people when the assassination failed? And there is no contribution?"

"Because they acted in a place where they shouldn't have acted."

The boss looked at Chen Ming, patted his chest and said, "You are now my protected person. If you go out, it's your life or death."

"But if you are in my territory, no one can move. If you dare to move, you must pay the price. It's not as simple as a life."

"Just like now, you are alive, and you have captured the assassin who assassinated you. I have interrogated the result here, and it's still in my territory."

"Then the person who did this must pay the price. If they don't pay the price, I will go to them personally to ask for it."

"But my territory on the space station is only this hardware store and That bar, oh, you can also count the first half of the maintenance plant, so this guy is not lucky. "The boss said that he seemed to be in thought. A special person, because he was a major empire, and a very special imperial general. "Chen Mingwei nodded, he just knew where Baiquan was special from the factory director." Do you know how many people died when Baiquan was injured by accident? " After thinking about it, I said, "I guess fifty." "It is 132, and all people who are implicated with this matter need to bear this responsibility, for their commanders who have been killed by Baiquan." Although there was almost an estimate in advance, Chen Ming still felt a bit outrageous when he heard this number. Because these are not civilians outside, but people who definitely hold military positions within the 14th Corps.

"Human life is really worthless."

"It's worthless."

The boss agreed with Chen Ming's words very much, and then said: "Then you are also a special person now."

"Is that so? Is that second generation also a special person?

"He is nothing, he is just his family who took the initiative to force him to do something for their own interests, and used him as an excuse."

"Those who died because of him are either idiots who participated in it, or poor ghosts who are deeply trapped and can't escape."

"That second generation can only be regarded as a poor ghost."

The boss suddenly changed the subject and said: "But you or Baiquan are different."

"You don't need to take revenge when you have problems."

"As long as you show a little interest, someone will help you do what you should do."

"Like this matter now, even if I don't deal with it, there will be others who will help you make the people over there pay the price."

Chen Ming asked again: "Why is this? ”

“Because someone in the empire already knows you, your ability has very important value and significance to the empire.”

“Some people will help you for profit, but some people will help you so that the entire human race can win the war with Yuhui.”

“If I don’t do this, others will do it, so I will definitely do it myself.”

“You have to pay attention to one thing.”

“If you want to enjoy the help given to you by others, you will have to pay a price in the future.”

“The people in front of me just mentioned may just want you to make money for them, but for the people behind, you may have something to do.”

Chen Ming nodded clearly, looked at the boss and said, “Boss.”

“What’s the matter?”

“What price do I need to pay for you to help me?”

The boss paused, looked at Chen Ming and said, “To be honest, you have been paying a price.”

“Okay. ”

Before Chen Ming could think about what the boss meant, the boss reached out and patted Chen Ming on the shoulder.

“If one day you really can’t make it outside, just yell on the road and I guarantee that a lot of people will give you a lot of benefits and beg you to go to their side.”

“But if you have a chance, remember to come to my place.”

Chen Ming thought about it seriously and said, “I don’t think there will be such a day.”

“That would be the best.”

“Okay, this matter is almost over. It’s just a little spy who suddenly had a whim to make trouble.”

“You said you had something else to do before, right? Go and do it. I’ll tell you if there is anything else later.”

Chen Ming said, “Actually, I plan to come to you after I find Lao Wu.”

“Like this? OK, you tell me.”

Chen Ming took out his “Ming” and said, “It’s about psychic weapons. "

"I tried it before, and it really has a good effect on my spiritual power. When using spiritual power, I can clearly feel that the mental power consumption is reduced. "

"But didn't you say before that you can embed spiritual stones on it? "

The boss quickly understood what Chen Ming meant and said, "I did say that, and then you found that your spirit stone was too big to be embedded in the gun, right?"

"Yes."

"That's easy. Just wrap the spirit stone with your mental power and squeeze it."

"Spirit stone is generally composed of spiritual energy and ordinary stone materials, or some strange materials."

"You use your mental power to compress the spiritual energy inside it, and then wear away the ordinary materials outside the stone to achieve the compression effect."

The boss took out his palm-sized gentle spirit stone and applied a huge amount of mental power to it in front of Chen Ming.

In a blink of an eye, the water patterns outside the gentle spirit stone all dimmed, and the outer stone layer quickly turned into powder.

The boss blew a breath, revealing the spirit stone that had been compacted into the size of a marble and covered with patterns.

"Like this."

The boss put away the spirit stone and said, "Remember to pay attention to it. The stronger the spirit stone is, the more mental power it needs to compress it. If you can't compress it all at once, you can do it in multiple times."

"Also, during the compression process, you will feel the nature of the spirit stone for a long time. I remember that your stone has a negative effect, right? Pay attention to this."

The boss glanced at Chen Ming's pistol and said, "When the spirit stone is affected by the psychic effect of the psychic weapon, the amplification effect of the psychic weapon on you will become stronger because of the amplification of the spirit stone."

"And the effect of the spirit stone itself will also be enhanced by the influence of the psychic weapon. This is mutually influential."

"The spirit stone can decide whether to exert influence on the enemy or provide you with a bonus based on its own properties."

"If you can find more spirit stones, then choose the right stone and put it on, it would be the best."

"Generally speaking, I think you are more suitable for the spirit stone that adds to yourself. Of course, you can choose the spirit stone with negative effects for self-defense. You decide your weapon yourself."

"Anyway, if there is a better one, it doesn't mean that it can't be dismantled."

Chen Ming listened silently and put these After digesting all the information, he asked, "Does this compression have any negative effects?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"It's hard to find a spiritual stone that's too small if you lose it."

"..."

The boss smiled and said, "Just kidding, the compression of the spiritual stone has no effect except consuming some of your mental power."

"I will definitely tell you about the disadvantages in advance, right? I can't do this to my own stone."

Chen Ming nodded and said, "There is another problem. Baiquan registered a psychic census website for me."

The boss casually placed He waved his hand and said, "This website is useless. Just register it."

"This website will only be useful if you take the official route and the government route in the future. You can just pretend it doesn't exist at other times."

"As long as you are not anti-human, no one will come to you."

Chen Ming silently crossed out a line on the notepad in his mind, and then said to the boss, "There is one last thing."

"It is the supply of materials that you mentioned before. I need to confirm the specific method with you."

Chen Ming had already discussed the materials needed with the boss, and the transportation method had also been said to rely on himself.

However, if he wants to transport materials in large quantities over long distances, some conditions must be met before it can be carried out.

Chen Ming's psychic power is not space teleportation.

Although it has a similar effect, it actually uses transformation to indirectly transport materials over long distances in this way.

Therefore, Chen Ming needs some blueprints of some objects that can be attached with a large amount of materials to be transported and will not have much impact on the properties of the materials.

And when transporting materials, Chen Ming needs to concentrate the materials in the mechanical equipment he controls.

Only in this way can he influence these materials.

For example, the warehouse of the Supreme Point spacecraft, or a warehouse on the Pirate Space Station.

The Pirate Space Station itself is a giant mechanical device, and Chen Ming can naturally control part of it.

Of course, Chen Ming has not done this yet. After all, doing so is simply robbing things while slapping the company in the face.

Chen Ming has no intention of completely breaking up with the company, so this kind of thing must not be done.

But large-scale material transportation cannot be without mechanical equipment controlled by him.

It is impossible for a cruiser-level spacecraft to be used specifically for Chen Ming as a material storage point.

So although most of the things have been agreed in advance, it is better to ask the boss about such critical issues.

Chen Ming roughly explained the specific situation.

When the boss knew that his psychic power was no longer limited to the spacecraft, he was obviously a little surprised, and seemed very satisfied with Chen Ming's progress.

After thinking about it, he said, "This is easy. I can give you several warehouses in my colony for you to control. It will be convenient to concentrate the transportation of materials in my colony."

"Remember to contact me regularly in the early stage of development and tell me the situation on your side. If there is any problem, I can help to remedy it. If there is any missing materials, I can transfer them to you immediately."

"If you encounter anything interesting later, you can also tell me. The universe is so big. You will always encounter many things that you will never encounter in your lifetime in the empire when you go out."

Chen Ming immediately agreed: "Okay, I will, and I have to provide the data of the highest point regularly."

"Oh, yes, if you didn't say it, I almost forgot. I will also send you a copy of the contact information of the newcomer. His name is Wang Qian."

Chen Ming registered Wang Qian, a former researcher of Tachyon Technology, a current psychic of the Psychic Society and a spacecraft designer, in the address book.

Then he put away the terminal.

In fact, the boss didn't need to say that he would definitely contact him frequently after he went out.

In addition to the reason he just said for returning the data, there are actually other reasons.

Even now, Chen Ming still clearly remembers the lonely journey of six months before that when he could not use hyperspace and could only use engines to travel through interstellar space.

That was really a life-threatening journey.

So Chen Ming knew that he had to keep in touch with others, otherwise he would definitely have psychological problems.

Even if those afterglow individuals were with him, it would be the same.

After all, they were not human.

So even if the colony developed in the future, his connection with humans must never be cut off.
