Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, in order to avoid the celestial body in front of him, the Invincible Newbie’s battleship was in a straight line with Lin Dong’s battleship. If Lin Dong descended his battleship, he would be able to directly attack the enemy’s chassis and rear engine. Furthermore, the distance between them had already shortened to the limit of their reaction speed.

“Charge the main cannon to maximum capacity. Lock onto the enemy’s chassis and rear engine. Activate automatic firing!”

“Charging countdown starts at 10… 9… 8… Warning. Charging reaction has been detected by enemy battleship.”

The distance was too close, and it was powered by kinetic energy, there was no possibility of shielding it. However, it did not matter, the distance was too close, it was already too late to dodge.

Lin Dong shouted, “Continue charging. Target locked!”

“3… 2… 1… Fire!”

The main cannon of the battleship let out a loud bang as the high-energy projectiles flew toward the Invincible Newbie’s battleship. Even though he tried to dodge the projectiles, the distance was too close.

The chassis and rear engine of the battleship were attacked. The battleship’s armor shattered in an instant.

The entire battleship was pushed back by the powerful kinetic energy and lost its balance as it began to tumble.

“It is estimated that 80% of the enemy’s rear armor is damaged and the engine thrust has decreased by 60%. The main cannon of this battleship will be recharged for another 50 seconds.”

The optical computer gave the accurate data according to the information from the detection radar.

“Approach the enemy battleship and attack from the top down. Charged to the longest attack range and lock onto the enemy battleship’s engine.”

Lin Dong’s body leaned back slightly as he once again gave the order.

This match was already nearing its end. The chances of his opponent wanting to turn the tables was 0%.

After losing the balance of the chassis and the power of the engine, Invincible Newbie’s battleship would not be able to retaliate for a short period of time. It would not be able to withstand a few cannon shots before it had to retreat from the battlefield.

As for extending the attack range, Lin Dong wanted to ensure that nothing would go wrong and not take any risks.

Even though ‘Sea of Stars’ was a virtual game, the habit of controlling the battleship would be brought to the outside world and it would develop the habit of killing the enemy at close range. If his enemies still had a backup plan, he would not be able to regret his choice when his opponents counterattack, right?

Reality was not a game. If Lin Dong was careless, he would lose his live.

Not letting go of any details was a necessary quality to become an outstanding commander.

“This time, the opponent is purely a newbie. There’s no challenge at all. I hope that I will be matched with a better opponent next round.”

Lin Dong chuckled as he watched the main cannon recharging once again.

Not to mention that he had 10 years of experience. Even if he did not have any experience, he could still be considered an expert among all the players in ‘Sea of Stars’. It was easy for him to deal with a newbie who had just entered the game not long ago.

The second shot landed on the battleship’s armor. Although the hit did not land wholly on the engine, at least it completely destroyed the engine.

A battleship that could not fly was like a lion without claws and teeth.

It could only serve as a target at the moment. Once the main cannon’s buffer time passed, it would be over.

However, before Lin Dong gave the order to fire, His opponent could not turn or move his battleship, so the game could be considered over.

A few seconds later, a system notification sounded out.

“ID: Invincible Newbie has issued a surrender request. Countdown: 60… 59… 58…”

Only then did Lin Dong control the battleship to fly forward and stop not far away from the side of the Invincible Newbie’s battleship. He did not allow the main cannon to recharge.

Lin Dong’s opponents had already given up resisting and was prepared to surrender. There was no need to beat him up anymore.

Lin Dong was still a gentleman.

Suddenly, a notification sound rang our from the battleship’s optical computer.

“ID: Newbie Invincible has initiated a communication request.”

Initially, he did not want to talk to his opponent. Usually, when the defeated party initiated a communication request, they would just scold Lin Dong to express their anger.

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before he chose to accept the call. He won the match and was also the first person to receive a call. It did not matter even if he accepted the call.
