Chapter 15 (2/2)

Furthermore, he needed to keep a low profile at this moment.

In his previous life, Lin Dong did not have enough energy blocks to power his battleship and it was not convenient for him to purchase them from authentic sellers. In the end, he chose to buy them from the black market.

At that time, he made a deal with the boss of an unfamiliar merchant group and bought them at a price that far exceeded the market price.

However, in the end, he was betrayed by the boss of the merchant group. Originally, he only had to deal with the pursuers of the Sylvester family. From then on, the unfamiliar merchant group was chasing him too.

These local forces were even more troublesome to deal with than the Sylvester family.

This was because they knew where Lin Dong would hide.

In the end, Lin Dong was forced to leave this planet and flee somewhere else.

Baron Darkmoon’s 9th merchant group’s boss, Toya.

Toya was one of the people that Lin Dong had highlighted in his notes!

Without him, Lin Dong would still be able to enjoy a period of peaceful life and live a little longer.

However, even though he was still lacking standard energy blocks, the mineral crystals that Lin Dong had dug up previously were still with him. As a high-energy material, the mineral crystals could be used as an emergency energy source for the Spark battleship.

The disadvantage of using mineral crystals as energy source was that the cost was too high and it might cause some damage to the engine.

Lin Dong had 5 units of low-grade mineral crystals. For emergency use, he could provide 5,000 units of energy for the Spark battleship. In addition to the remaining energy on the battleship, it was sufficient.

These energy reserves saved a lot of effort and prevented unnecessary risks.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong turned off the miners’ communication network. He changed his clothes and went out. After which, he walked toward the Thousand Leaf net café in the central business district.

The Thousand Leaf net café occupied 2 entire floors of the central business district. It was equipped with 200 ‘Star Region Communication Platform’ access cabins.

The cost of each access cabin was 200 million. In addition to transporting it to this remote mining planet, the transportation cost was about 80 million. The reason why it was so expensive was mainly because it could carry out ‘Star Region Communication’.

Each star region had different forces and they were on guard against each other. Hence, they would not open their communication networks with each other.

If 2 star regions wanted to communicate, they would have to rely on the ‘Star Region Communication Platform’ access cabin. The merchant behind it was also the merchant who had developed the ‘Sea of Stars’.

Their background was incomparably powerful. No forces had ever dared to provoke them.

After Lin Dong entered the Thousand Leaf net café, he went to the front desk and asked for access for an standard cabin. After entering the room, there were quite a number of posters to promote different virtual reality games.

Among them, the poster page for ‘Sea of Stars’ was the largest.

Looking at the familiar scene, Lin Dong smiled.

This was the game that he had mentioned to Lorne on the Thunder Flash. His initial understanding of battleships had indeed come from this.

Other than ‘Sea of Stars’, no one would take the initiative to spread the knowledge of battleships to the commoners.

With his passion for battleships, Lin Dong would come to the net café at least 5 times a month. 90% of his time was spent on ‘Sea of Stars’. In order to maintain his previous habit, he specially came here.

He lay down in the 3 meter long and 2 meter wide black access cabin. Then, he pressed the activation button on the left armrest.

The cabin door was tightly shut and a gentle female voice sounded beside his ear.

“Do you wish to connect to the Star Region Network?”

“Yes. Connect.”

“Connecting now. Please wait a moment.”
