Chapter 24: The Giant Star Beast Devouring the Star Region

"I had such a comfortable sleep!"

Duan Ming walked out of the bedroom, and the insect girl in front of him was walking towards him with the look of a child who had done something wrong.

"Insect girl, what's wrong with you?"

The insect girl lowered her head and did not dare to answer Duan Ming's question.

Seeing her so abnormal, Duan Ming checked the insect girl's condition.

Interstellar creature: Zerg development base, scientific research.

Current level: Level 3.

Experience value: 1860 points/2000 points.

Body length: 2.4m/24m, switchable form.

Skills: Zerg communication within a short range.

Trust value: 200/100.

Talents: appearance change, emotion simulation, primary worker hive, exploration module.

Except for the abnormal increase in experience value, everything else is normal.

"What happened?"

Seeing Duan Ming pretending to be angry, the insect girl "honestly confessed".

"Master, when you were resting just now, several asteroid bases came..."

Speaking of this, the insect girl did not continue. Duan Ming was stunned and looked around. Where were the asteroid bases around the fire rock beast?

"Where is the base?"

The insect girl pointed her finger downwards at the belly of the fire rock beast: "It was eaten by it."

The muscles at the corners of Duan Ming's mouth trembled slightly. If the insect girl made a mistake, he could still communicate with her using human prophecies. If the fire rock beast made a mistake, he really had no way to deal with it!

"Except Tang Yaqing, I have no friends in this star field. Maybe it's just a few uninhabited asteroids that happened to float nearby?"

Opening the chat area, Duan Ming found that during the time he was sleeping, there was another big "news".

"Have you heard? There is a huge star beast in the star field where we are. That star beast can swallow anything!"

"I heard it! I heard it! It is said that it can even swallow space!"

Giant star beast? Swallowing space?

Duan Ming suddenly remembered that his teacher had taught him a piece of knowledge in class, called "dark matter".

Dark matter exists in space, just like a shark lurking in the sea. You can't see it from the sea, but it may jump out of the sea at any time and swallow its prey.

He flipped through the chat history again, and a familiar ID made Duan Ming frown. If he remembered correctly, this should be Zhang Qiang!

"I am Zhang Qiang, the owner of No. 7D89C3. Here... a huge star beast is going to swallow me, and it also wants to swallow the entire star..."

This sentence is not complete. It seems that it was sent in a panic when the situation was urgent.

No one can guess what Zhang Qiang encountered and what kind of information he wanted to convey, but one thing can be confirmed, Zhang Qiang is dead.

A sense of crisis rose in Duan Ming's heart. If the huge star beast Zhang Qiang said really exists, then this star field is definitely not safe!

Seeing Duan Ming frowning, the insect girl asked, "Master, what happened?"

Duan Ming looked at the Fire Rock Beast that was still eating, and then looked at the insect girl: "At the current speed, how long will it take for your Zerg development base to reach level 4?"

The insect girl roughly calculated: "It should be successfully upgraded in two days."

Under the premise that there is a possibility of encountering a giant star beast at any time, every extra day will increase the danger.

"If you merge with your original body, can you speed up the upgrade of the base?"

The insect girl nodded: "Indeed, but Master, who will clean up for you when I leave?"

When disaster strikes, is hygiene more important or life more important?

"I'll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, whether you can reach level 4 or not, return to the Fire Rock Beast on time."

The insect girl left and went to find her original body according to Duan Ming's instructions.

Duan Ming looked down at the Fire Rock Beast under his feet, and then looked at the metal ore that was almost piled up next to the mineral processing center. He had to deal with these things as soon as possible.

After contacting the supplier of the super-addictive ore, Duan Ming learned that the super-addictive ore would be delivered tonight.

In the universe, there is no day or night. It is all thanks to Duan Ming's interstellar skills that he can know the exact time.

Three hours later, a small spaceship full of cargo arrived and threw the super-addictive ore that Duan Ming needed to him in a disposable sealed cabin.

Looking at the not-so-big small spaceship in front of him, Duan Ming secretly made up his mind:

The upgrade process of the Fire Rock Beast should be accelerated, at least to support the docking of such a small spaceship.

Walking to the interstellar computer, Duan Ming entered a series of codes, then placed the super-addictive ore in front of the mineral compressor and activated the transformation button of the mineral compressor.

The Fire Rock Beast under his feet made two loud "boom" sounds, and some blood vessels with hard epidermis appeared under the super-addictive ore, including the super-addictive ore and the mineral compressor.

Half an hour later, an enhanced version of the mineral compressor appeared in front of Duan Ming.

Put in one cubic meter of metal ore again as an experiment. In just one minute, after being compressed by the mineral compressor, one cubic meter of metal ore was compressed to the size of a fist.

Duan Ming would not try to pick it up. Although it is small in size, it has a high density! The weight remains unchanged!

"Fire Rock Beast, can you try to speed up the refining and compression of the metal ore?"

After a moment, with the induction of the contract biological system, Duan Ming got the reply of the Fire Rock Beast. It said it would try its best!

Turning on the communication system, Duan Ming connected to Tang Yaqing's number.

"Before twelve o'clock tomorrow, please send someone to take away my metal ore."

Short-lived has his own plan. With so many metal ores, the Fire Rock Beast will definitely affect its speed when it moves.

"You built the mineral compressor so quickly? And completed the compression of the metal ore?"

"Yes, I know that time may be a bit rushed for you. I can make some concessions on the price."

After a moment of silence, Tang Yaqing spoke again.

"I will personally come to you before twelve o'clock tomorrow."

After arranging everything, Duan Ming sat on the rocking chair and first checked the various buildings in the base, especially the cnidarian turrets and laser turrets. In case he "won the first prize" and encountered a giant star beast, these two were his strongest defensive weapons.

He looked up at the busy worker bees again. In the past few days, even if the fire rock beast had such a big appetite, this ice crystal belt only consumed a tiny amount. It would be a pity to just give up and leave.

Opening the communication system again, Duan Ming searched the previous call records and dialed a number on it.

"I am Captain Lindenwan, who are you? What's the matter?"

After taking a deep breath, Duan Ming replied: "Captain, I am Duan Ming. I want to verify something with you. Is it convenient?"
