Even though Lin Dong was mentally prepared, he still furrowed his brows.

When using source points to repair damaged parts of a battleship, it was usually calculated according to the upgrade cost of the repaired module and the area of the repaired parts.

​

Black Dragon’s armor was green, LV1. Upgrading from LV0 to LV1 would consume 200 source points.

The calculation method was 200 × 10% × 100%, and the result was 20 source points.

This was only the repair of the stern. If the entire ship’s armor was repaired, it would be equivalent to the cost of upgrading the armor module again!

However, this repair was done on a physical level. Hence, It was normal for the cost to be high.

However, compared to entering the factory for repair, it would consume a greater amount of source points.

Repairing the battleship in the factory would only consume the currency that was circulated among the commoners. It would not be able to use a high grade and rare resource like the source points.

Unfortunately, the situation was like this. Even though he felt sorry for the source points, he still needed to repair them.

“Confirm.”

Lin Dong did not dare to place his Black Dragon into any repair factory for repair. The repair factory would record the damage when it was being repaired. If the Sylvester family knew about it, he would need to be ready.

Lin Dong should be careful not to get suspected. This was because the Black Dragon was lacking in ammunition. There were only 3 rounds left in the main cannon. It was too little.

“Confirm repair. Consume 20 source points. It will take 20 minutes. Repairing.”

Remaining source points: 974.

“I have changed the name and repaired the damage. The 2 most obvious signs are gone. I can safely hide for a period of time.”

“The remaining thing should be to gather intelligence and try to get rid of the Nano-bomb robot.”

Lin Dong’s thoughts were extremely clear.

Once the original name of his battleship was revealed, he would definitely be exposed. If the damage to the stern was discovered, Lin Dong would also be highly suspicious.

However, the Black Dragon did not have such a hidden danger and would not be exposed immediately.

Lorne had been poisoned by the Sylvester family’s Icecrown Snake Venom. In the eyes of the Sylvester family, Lorne was dead for sure. They would not suspect that his Thunder Flash had been inherited by Lin Dong, but would instead search for the remains of Thunder Flash in the universe.

When the first round of large-scale search did not find any remains, then they would search more thoroughly.

Moreover, it would widen the scope of suspicion.

Regardless of whether it was the Sylvester family, the local forces in the mining area, or even the battleships from other places.

As an ordinary miner, Lin Dong was completely unable to explain how he obtained the ownership of the Black Dragon. Hence, he was still not completely out of danger.

Fortunately, the source point he obtained far exceeded his expectations. It was sufficient to fulfill the ideal plan in his heart.

While he was deep in thought, the repair of the armor at the stern had already been completed.

Lin Dong immediately gave the order to upgrade it.

“Upgrade the armor from LV1 to LV2.”

“Consume 200 source points and 15 tons of nether ores. Upgrade the standard armor (Green) LV1 to LV2. 1 hour. Are you sure?”

“Yes!”

The supplementary materials needed to upgrade such a low quality shipboard module were relatively common. They could be mined within the mining area of the asteroid belt.

The consumed nether ores were mined last time and were kept in private.

There were also some rare minerals that were not sold to mining companies. Instead, Lin Dong kept it for his own use.

Remaining source points: 774.

The time required to upgrade the ship module was related to its strengthening level. From LV1 to LV2, it would take an hour. From LV2 to LV3, it would take 2 hours.
