Stellaris Games: Become an NPC

"Why do you say this?" Lin Tian asked doubtfully.

"This group of pirates look down on surface civilization. They probably found clues about my stay on this planet, and that's why they stayed here."

"If they can't find me, then this group of pirates will probably retreat and won't stay too long."

Lin Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that these uninvited guests from outside the world would leave soon. This was not very good news.

"And, if my estimate is correct, they should only have two search personnel left on this planet now."

"Their large forces should still be squatting within a few dozen light-years nearby, not daring to show up."

Lin Tian couldn't help but be a little stunned after hearing this.

It's dozens of light years. With Lin Tian's current methods, even if he ran for a lifetime, he probably wouldn't be able to run that far.

"Why are they hiding?"

Lin Tian didn't understand very well. Since they dared to attack official interstellar civilization camps everywhere and had no trouble for so long, the strength behind them should be terrifying.

Why do you look so cautious now?

"Lin, you think too highly of them."

There was a slight sense of pride in Manakis's mental fluctuations.

"The reason why interstellar pirates are endlessly killed is, on the one hand, because they are often shadow forces cultivated by certain civilizations. Even if they are eliminated, another one will appear."

"On the other hand, it is not easy to completely eliminate these interstellar pirates. When these pirates encounter danger, they will often run into the territory of neutral civilizations."

Neutral civilizations have the same attitude towards almost all civilizations. They are neither welcoming nor hostile. However, if you want to enter the territory of neutral civilizations to conduct military operations, you must carry out diplomatic negotiations, which is extremely troublesome.

Moreover, by that time, these pirates will not be able to defeat them, nor will they be able to escape?

When you have negotiated well, they will pat you on the back and leave.

In a blink of an eye, he has moved to a civilized place, and you still have nothing to do with him.

"What a rascal."

Even with Lin Tian's shamelessness, after seeing what this group of interstellar pirates did, he couldn't help but sigh.

This group of desperate people has simply taken the spirit of wandering to death as long as they can't die.

"Of course, this is not the only kind of interstellar pirate. Lin, you will enter the interstellar sooner or later, so it is necessary to know about it in advance."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Lin Tian became interested again and listened attentively.

Except for this group of bastards supported by civilization, there is no shortage of money or supplies.

In addition to making troubles, he is just a kid who wants to make big things.

There is another type, which is the serious interstellar pirate who works for life and survival.

This style of pirate painting is almost the same as what Lin Tian recognized.

The behavior of the previous type of pirates has a bottom line because they look down upon it, but the latter group of interstellar pirates have no bottom line at all.

Selling the gene pool of surface civilizations, kidnapping citizens of local interstellar civilizations and selling them to other star fields, destroying the ecology of surface civilizations to exploit certain types of precious resources, etc.

Such cases, which are expressly prohibited by interstellar general law, are all done by them.

Of course, according to Manakis.

In fact, there are not many big interstellar pirates who are heinous in their crimes and like to create a sensation.

Generally, only a few appear in a star field within a dozen years.

Each star field has a security team corresponding to the civilization, which is responsible for handling and eliminating unstable factors and minimizing the possibility of risks.

Most of the normal little interstellar pirates would just rob someone, kidnap a ticket or something, and do it for money rather than their lives.

"What's the name of the group of interstellar pirates who are chasing you?"

"Blue-faced squid."

It was quite appropriate, and Lin Tian couldn't help but think back to the big octopus that stood upright just now.

"If I kill them, will there be any repercussions?"

The implication is that Lin Tian is more worried about the threat behind this blue-faced squid.

"That's not true. Interstellar pirates are not directly protected by the "General Regulations of Pan-Interstellar Civilization" at all. Just like spies on the battlefield, any citizen of an interstellar civilization can directly kill them without fear of any punishment.

"

"But I am not a citizen of an interstellar civilization..."

Lin Tian said a little helplessly.

"You have fallen into a misunderstanding, Lin. Even if you are not an interstellar citizen, the general interstellar law will protect you, because you are a member of the surface civilization. Although there are only a few, it is often much stronger than interstellar pirates.

."

"It's just that most surface-level civilizations simply can't defeat this group of interstellar pirates."

"Doesn't that mean I can take action at will?"

Lin Tian was a little surprised and eager to try out the skills of these aliens.

"You'd better not forget about their fellow pirates who are dozens of light years away. I don't think it would be a good thing to attract their attention."

You know, even Manakis fell into their hands.

Not to mention Lin Tian, ​​whose wings have not yet fully developed.

"Then what should I do?"

"Tell me about your current situation."

Lin Tian briefly sketched the scenes of the previous war, and then told Manakis his current location and situation.

There are also his speculations about the operation of the Sky Eye Organization, such as the passage that is suspected of having a teleportation point.

After Lin Tian finished conveying the message, Manakis on the other end was silent for a while before continuing: "As far as I know, those interstellar pirates do not have the ability to teleport over long distances."

"Of course, if they get something similar to experiment with after fighting me, it's impossible to tell."

Manakis embellished his words by the way.

According to Manakis, transmission devices with similar functions are very common in the interstellar market.

Depending on the required uses, the corresponding prices and technical content also vary.

A short-distance transmission device, ranging from a few thousand kilometers to hundreds of thousands of kilometers, can be purchased with only one year's salary of Manakis.

As for the annual salary, Manakis did not say.

Lin Tian didn't ask. He hasn't entered the interstellar yet, and Lin Tian has no idea about this kind of thing.

For something more powerful, you need to use some means to get it.

According to Lin Tian's understanding, it's probably a matter of earning contributions, exchanging points, redeeming prizes, and redeeming qualifications.

As for the controlled large-scale ultra-long-distance transmission devices, you have to go to the interstellar black market to get them.

The price is often several times higher than the normal market price, and it may not always be in stock.

"Based on your description, it's probably some kind of small one-way transmission device that can be purchased in ordinary interstellar markets."

However, Manakis wasn't very sure what this group of interstellar pirates were doing with this device.

Just to help a surface-level civilization escape?

That would be too boring.
