Idle game leads to another world

As long as there is trade, there will be people who want to do unprofitable business.

No matter what the reason is, no matter what the background is, such people will not disappear completely.

Even in interstellar travel, there are interstellar pirates.

"Anyway, it's the enemy, right?"

"Of course it's the enemy! Hold them back, the planetary defense team should be here soon."

"That's so boring."

Li Chengxi flicked the joystick, and the Manta dived 90 degrees while rotating.

"Just wipe them out."

If someone else said this, Alyssa would probably complain, "Do you eat oil cakes?"

But Li Chengxi said this...

He killed all three squadrons of space fighters, and that was really not bragging.

The Manta's engine was pushed to the maximum, and the surging engine light looked like a shining star in the dark void.

Noticing that the Manta began to maneuver, especially without direct confrontation, the Void Pirates thought it was afraid, and immediately followed.

Alyssa had heard the pirates' howling in the communication channel, as well as an ultimatum.

"Hand over your ship and all the cargo on board immediately, or we will take it ourselves!"

The Manta Ray did not carry any high-value cargo. After all, after loading fuel and necessities, there was not much space in the already small cargo hold.

But the pirates did not think so.

Shuttles are generally only used between starships or near space stations. Seeing a shuttle in the void means that it is busy transporting cargo on short-distance routes.

This is the main target of the pirates' robbery. They rely on their small number of people and small scale. They run away when they encounter tough guys and bully when they encounter soft persimmons. They live on this.

Alyssa did not open the communicator to fight with the pirates. She just put on the mask silently, and then took her hands off the keyboard...

In view of the previous situation, Alyssa specially bought the best pressure-resistant suit at the Gemini Space Station. It is said that the performance is almost the same as that of military ones.

Although this cost a lot of money, it turned out to be very necessary.

The Manta, which was diving, suddenly had its engine shut down. The attitude control nozzles arranged around the body worked at full capacity. In the eyes of the Void Pirates who couldn't believe it, the Manta instantly completed a 180-degree U-turn.

The fine electric sparks of the electromagnetic weapon lit up below the Manta, and the machine gun shells mixed with tracer bullets drowned the shuttle that was chasing the closest with the exploding powder.

The blue shield was the first to light up in the smoke, but just when the driver was rejoicing, the high-energy ion beam instantly blew it up, turning the shuttle into an orange flash in the void.

"The machine gun feels okay, but the power is a little small."

"You asked to replace all the machine guns with high-explosive shells!"

Alyssa was able to complain under high overload conditions. It seems that the money for the pressure suit was not wasted.

It was indeed Li Chengxi's request to replace all the machine gun ammunition links with high-explosive shells, leaving only a few tracer shells.

The general ammunition link is two armor-piercing, one high-explosive, and one tracer.

This configuration is because armor-piercing shells are used to destroy the target's shield, high-explosive shells are used to kill, and tracer shells assist in aiming.

If all are replaced with high-explosive shells, the armor-piercing ability will be seriously insufficient.

But Li Chengxi asked for this because he learned from the first battle that even with armor-piercing shells, the damage of machine guns to shields is still limited.

The space fighter hit the Manta, but failed to penetrate the shield, which is proof.

So Li Chengxi chose to be more extreme. High-explosive shells are mainly used to block vision and weaken, and the ultimate kill is of course to use ion beams.

Originally, they were chasing in a swarm, but because Li Chengxi turned around on the spot, it became a two-way confrontation, and the pirates' most resistant shuttle was instantly hit.

It is obvious that the remaining shuttles and miscellaneous aircraft panicked and began to frantically fire dense rain of bullets.

This kind of scene is not unfamiliar. When Li Chengxi played flight simulation games, he encountered similar players. They thought they had a large number of people and bit the six o'clock direction of the target. The biggest problem was who could grab the head.

But they ignored the enemies from other directions and were eventually killed by the fishing tactics.

Don't think that the game is just a game. Many tactics can be directly used in the military, and there are many examples of using military tactics in games.

Facing the rain of bullets coming in his face, Li Chengxi not only did not pull the joystick to avoid it, but even pushed the thrust lever to the maximum again and faced it head-on.

From Alyssa's perspective, it was like Li Chengxi was going to catch the shells with his face, which was very thrilling.

But Li Chengxi was quite sure to do this. From the opponent's shooting, it was clear that he must have panicked, and the panicked attack was just sprinkling water.

The shuttle moved quickly in the barrage with amazing high maneuverability, as if it was a ball of air that could not be touched at all.

Alyssa was surprised to find that there was not even a "shield reduction" prompt on the main control screen, and the rain of bullets did not hit the Manta at all.

In an air battle, the two sides fly towards each other and fire, commonly known as head-on.

In this case, it is a competition of psychological quality, to see who is more stable, more accurate, and faster.

While dodging, Li Chengxi did not miss any shooting window. Every time he shot, he either used high-explosive bombs to wash the opponent's face, or used ion beams to accurately shoot the rookie who only knew to pull the trigger and did not let go, and even forgot to maneuver.

The two sides quickly crossed each other, and several orange-red fireballs lit up in the void.

The Manta turned its body in a drifting posture, and Alyssa heard Li Chengxi's somewhat disappointed voice:

"Very weak, these guys are not as good as last time."

"....."

Don't expect anything from a small-scale pirate fleet, okay? Who the hell wants to be a pirate if they are really capable?

But it's not that weak at all.

There are more than ten in total, and although they are not military space fighters, the power of concentrated fire is still considerable.

"It's not that they are too weak, it's that you are too strong."

"Say more, I love to hear this."

"..."

Just as he was about to complain, the red warning light came on again, and the Manta pulled the nose of the aircraft suddenly without warning.

The beige beam flew under the Manta, hit several meteorites, and exploded into sparks.

"I almost forgot it. What's that thing called?"

"A light cruiser, the most basic ship type that can travel long distances in the void. Judging from the specifications, it should be a rag that has been used for nearly a hundred years."

For such a small-scale pirate, don't expect any particularly powerful mothership. But don't underestimate it. The light cruiser is also the ship type that Alyssa wants most now. At least it must have it to catch up with the starship driven away by Carlos.

"Do you know where the weakness is?"

"The bridge and the place where the rear half is connected to the engine... Wait a minute, what do you want to do?"

Alyssa suddenly had a very bad premonition.
