From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

"If I didn't have the Zerg core, I might not be able to leave that deserted island, or even survive on it."

"Even if I leave the deserted island, I will most likely become one of the oppressed people in the pirate world."

"If there were no Zerg..."

Suddenly, Xia Jieren was stunned, then reacted and said, "Grass (a kind of plant)!"

"If there is no Zerg core, then I can live a comfortable life on Blue Star."

"How did we end up in this damn place!"

Thinking of this, Xia Jieren was very depressed. "It's confirmed. It's all the Zerg Core's fault! They brought me to this place."

Although he was depressed, Xia Jieren did not regret it very much. "As long as you have the ability, this world is still very exciting."

Xia Jieren found a lot of fun here, but it was a pity that he couldn't see his family.

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Jieren's heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

After noon, he was completely fine.

When I think back to the battle in the morning, I still feel a little uncomfortable and my heartbeat inevitably speeds up.

"I'm afraid of fighting! Afraid of getting hurt! Afraid of dying!"

Xia Jieren confirmed his inner feelings very frankly, and shared his feelings with Kerrigan without any hesitation.

"The Zerg are the sword and shield of the Overlord. They will protect you and eliminate all threats for you."

Kerrigan's firm words echoed in his ears.

Xia Jieren's mouth corners couldn't help but begin to rise.

"Even though I'm scared, I'll keep trying to adapt!"

Then, Xia Jieren said with equal firmness.

"Life and death are indifferent, just do it if you don't accept it."

Although I am afraid of death, it is not really that easy to die.

As long as Xia Jieren doesn't seek death and is not targeted by enemies who are several orders of magnitude stronger than himself, it won't be easy for him to die even if he wants to.

After comforting himself for a while, Xia Jieren felt relieved.

So, he walked out of the lounge, went straight to the captain, and ordered: "Go directly to the location of the next pirate group."

"Yes!"

After the captain stood at attention and saluted, he began to give orders, arranging the warship to turn and then head straight in one direction.

Now, one-fifth of the West Sea near the Upside-down Mountain has been covered by the heart network.

The reconnaissance spores and the heart net work together to lock onto all ships within the heart net range at the first opportunity.

The longer a ship is within the heart net range, the more comprehensive the information on board will be.

Generally speaking, it only takes half a month to clearly know the color of the captain's underwear.

Xia Jieren was still a little dissatisfied with this.

After getting used to Blue Star's high-definition, uncensored surveillance videos, the intermittent messages sent back by the reconnaissance spores seem so awkward.

Unless reconnaissance birds or scouting eagles are sent out for close reconnaissance, it is possible to obtain sufficiently clear surveillance video.

But there is a problem. The sea is too vast. Hundreds of scouts scattered into the sea cannot cause any waves at all.

If there were tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, that would be too big a target.

"I hope that one day I can develop a satellite worm."

Xia Jieren said hopefully.

This is not some far-fetched dream.

.......

Three large warships were sailing on the sea.

Seeing this, the passing merchant ships moved away, as if they were afraid that they would suddenly come and exploit them.

"What a confusing world!"

Xia Jieren watched for a while, then sighed.

When on Blue Star, merchant ships wanted to follow behind the warships so that they would feel safe.

But here, soldiers may turn into pirates at any time, taking advantage of the situation and causing the ship owners to lose everything.

This is particularly true in countries with a high level of political corruption.

However, what made Xia Jieren happy was that the merchants from the Kingdom of the Netherlands were not afraid of the warships, but would greet them from a distance.

They don’t mind even if they don’t get a response.

"It seems necessary to increase support for these maritime merchants."

Looking at the small merchant ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the distance, Xia Jieren whispered.

After Xia Jieren's purge, all merchants in the Kingdom of the Netherlands became very weak.

The original big businessmen were all related to the nobles, or were the nobles' white gloves, or were engaged in some illegal transactions to make huge profits.

After getting rid of these fat sheep, most of their vacancies were occupied by companies under the Netherlands Group, and a small part was occupied by some civilian businessmen.

Xia Jieren adopted an attitude of neither supporting nor suppressing them.

“It seems that a change in policy is needed now.”

Xia Jieren thought.

Prior to this, Xia Jieren had always had an "I want it all" attitude, attempting to establish a giant trust enterprise to monopolize most of the country's commodities and industries.

Although it would be easy to achieve this goal by relying on the extremely loyal insect people, it is now unnecessary to think about it.

People need enough room for advancement.

While he was planning the next move in his mind, another pirate ship appeared in the warship's field of vision.

After another round of chase and escape, the battle broke out on the pirate ship.

In the next few days, Xia Jieren followed the warship on the sea and eliminated the pirate groups that entered.

In addition, there are three or four other groups of warships patrolling the sea, killing pirate groups within the monitoring range of the Heart Network from time to time for training.

It turns out that the effect is very good.

Not to mention the insect people, they themselves are qualified soldiers.

The morale of ordinary soldiers has been greatly improved.

The scattered aura on Xia Jieren's body weakened a lot, and was replaced by a sharp aura.

In the past few days, he was injured many times. Although none of them were fatal, the experience of being at the gates of hell was not a pleasant one.

The most serious bullet was lodged directly in the thigh.

The sudden severe pain caused Xia Jieren to lose his fighting ability.

Fortunately, the insect man who was guarding him came to the rescue, otherwise he would have been dead.

Xia Jieren never thought that he would be such a weakling.

It was predicted that he should have no problem dealing with an enemy at the level of a second lieutenant, but who would have thought that this would be the result.

He was quite complacent before going out to sea.

With the assistance of Zerg technology, in less than half a year, it grew from a weakling to a navy with the strength of a lieutenant.

"I am not too big or too small, but I can be considered a little genius."

Xia Jieren said complacently.

Although he was not as good as real monsters or geniuses, it was enough to make him proud.

But real combat is not like playing games, where whoever has the higher stats will definitely win.

"I still lack combat experience, so I only care about the beginning and not the end in the battle."

Xia Jieren reflected.

Training is not as good as actual combat. Even if the training is good, it still needs to be tested in actual combat.

All in all, this injury taught Xia Jieren a profound lesson.

From then on, he would often hone his skills by fighting vicious pirates and ferocious beasts.

Although almost all battles can be resolved by relying on the Zerg, Xia Jieren does not need to fight personally, but he still hopes that he has a certain self-protection ability.
