NOVEL NEXT Chapter 75 Target_4
Once the local government confirms the authenticity, it will report the matter through layers for statistical purposes.
The boss seemed very... pleased with Chen Ming's preparedness in his actions, perhaps?
He continued, "Conflicts are prohibited within our star system, remember that. Don't give anyone the chance to escape the chase and come back."
Chen Ming didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and pointed at the screen, "As for the price of this intelligence..."
"That's easy to talk about. If you can help me with something, it will be free. I might even give you other benefits."
"What kind of task?"
The boss's face suddenly darkened, "Bring their captain back alive."
Two days later.
Chen Ming early completed today's refurbishment task, taking about five minutes.
After lying on the bed to rest for a while, replenishing the energy consumed by the repair.
He casually contacted the factory manager, asking him to send someone over to receive this batch of special goods.
After everything was settled, it was roughly noon.
It happened to coincide with the time Chen Ming had previously planned.
Next, Chen Ming was to undertake the bounty hunting mission.
If possible, he would also complete the boss's additional task.
Two days ago, the previously amiable boss suddenly showed that gloomy expression.
Chen Ming speculated it might be due to a connection between that colony and the boss, and then pirates attacked the convoy supplying the colony, which angered the boss.
So, Chen Ming needed to capture someone and borrow them for two days.
The boss also promised to return the person to Chen Ming.
Given the opportunity to obtain intelligence for free, along with benefits from someone with an evidently unusual status like the boss.
Chen Ming was quite willing to take on this additional task.
It's just that if a real fight broke out, Chen Ming wasn't sure he could protect the pirate leader's ship, let alone the leader himself.
Therefore, Chen Ming did not insist; he left it to fate.
After departing the Space Station with the Iron Ore No., along with a Centurion, Chen Ming first made a trip to the Dark Graveyard to retrieve the other ships.
He had roughly estimated the pirates' return position beforehand, so all he needed to do was intercept them on their inevitable route.
For this, Chen Ming spent some money preparing a special piece of equipment—
A Blocking Pulse Generator.
It could, within the Superspace Channel, utilize its unique environment to cause surrounding ships to experience an effect similar to when they just jump out of superspace, slowing to a halt.
However, the maximum speed a ship could achieve within the Superspace Channel was limited.
It's not a limitation of the ship's performance, but a fixed limit of the Superspace Channel.
Smaller ships are easier to reach this limit in the Superspace Channel, while larger ships tend to move slower.
The pirates Chen Ming targeted were on small ships, and they could certainly reach the speed limit within the Superspace Channel.
But this limit was much slower than the speed of light achievable in the normal universe.
Sufficient for Chen Ming to capture the targets' position and use the blocking pulse.
Chen Ming, with his ship, swiftly navigated through the Superspace Channel, quickly reaching the predetermined location.
After making some special preparations and waiting for nearly two hours.
The Centurion Level vessel staying within the Superspace Channel detected a few ships speeding toward them through sensors.
Two Destroyers, six Frigates, the disappearance of three ships was due to their destruction in conflict with a Patrol Team.
The remaining ships all bore many damages that had only undergone simple maintenance.
Additionally, Chen Ming noticed on the hulls of two Mule Level ships, several square modules mounted on the outside.
They seemed to be the cargo holds of looted ships, dismantled by the pirates.
If Chen Ming could perfectly resolve this mission, he would also gain an additional bounty of resources.
