#89 - Interstellar Rock Disco

"There were many problems with the strategy in the battle just now. When the ship caught fire, I forgot to open the hatch to extinguish it. When dispatching manpower, I forgot that I could pause, and I was a bit flustered," Lin Fan summarized his experience. "In that kind of dangerous environment, if you can't resolve the battle quickly, you should just run away."

After consecutive failures, Lin Fan hesitated and chose the easy difficulty: "I'll practice on easy difficulty first!"

On easy difficulty, more scrap is obtained, and the enemy is easier to deal with.

This time, after the warp, he appeared in a starfield covered in pale yellow light, next to a huge, loamy yellow planet.

The ship's instruments seemed to have discovered something, passing through the atmosphere and arriving above a certain area of this planet.

On the observer's interface, a huge funnel-shaped mine pit was displayed, with a diameter of tens of kilometers. The spiral mine shafts extended downwards layer by layer, with an unfathomable interior, as if it were about to dig through the Earth's crust.

Around the mine pit, there were also some buildings that appeared to be factories and residences, closely and orderly clustered into different blocks, spreading out around the mine pit like puzzles and building blocks.

However, judging from the images transmitted back to the observer, these buildings were already dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, giving a sense of desolation. Some exposed mechanical devices, scattered mine carts, and mining robots were also covered in rust, as if this place had been abandoned for a long time.

"After you scanned this planet, you discovered a huge open-pit mine, surrounded by many ore refineries and processing plants, but they all appear to have been abandoned for a long time, and no traces of life activity have been found.

However, the probe's signals indicate that the mine pit still seems to have some mining value, and there may be some ore residue in the factories. Due to the pursuit of rebel troops behind you, you cannot delay here for too long. It's time to make a choice.

1. Mine the pit.

2. Send crew members to search the abandoned ore factories.

3. It's not worth wasting time here, continue to set sail."

Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Let's take a gamble and mine the pit!"

So he chose the first option.

"As the ship passed over the mine pit, it suddenly lost its balance and plummeted towards the bottom of the pit!

It turned out that the planet's magnetic field combined with the spiral of the mine pit, forming a strong airflow above the surface.

You urgently increased the engine's output power, which allowed the ship to regain its flight status. Fortunately, the ship was not damaged as a result.

Fuel -1."

Lin Fan was a little depressed: "Is it a negative result again? Is an African like me not suitable for playing roguelike games?"

After the Kestrel descended to the bottom of the mine pit, the laser weapons bombarded the stone wall, and the flying gravel and mineral dust temporarily obscured the view from the portholes.

"When the dust cleared, you found some ore of good quality. What a pleasant surprise."

Obtained 43 scrap.

Lin Fan was a little surprised: "Not bad, this loss of one fuel is worth it. Am I about to get lucky?"

Opening the star map, he discovered that a distress signal was coming from a reachable planet, so he chose to warp there.

When the warp ended, before his eyes was a starfield filled with meteorites, with copper green and dark blue overlapping.

"The distress beacon you arrived at is located near an asteroid belt. You discovered a warship with pirate markings stuck between two huge rocks. This ship must have secretly entered this asteroid belt for illegal mining without the proper equipment."

A dialogue box appeared at the bottom of the screen, and an Engi pirate with a bald head and silver-gray skin appeared on the right side of the dialogue box. He pleaded for help: "Passing ship, our ship is stuck between these damn rocks. If you can help us get out of trouble, I am willing to give you a generous reward!

1. Try to rescue the ship by shooting at the rocks.

2. Destroy and scavenge the ship, they are just pirates."

Lin Fan thought tangledly: "Can you trust what pirates say? If I help them out of trouble, what if they turn around and attack me?"

After thinking about it, he chose the second option and directly destroyed the pirate ship.

Yellow-haired Lin Fan: "I don't believe the pirates' promises. I'll just destroy your ship and then scavenge it."

The Engi pirate said in despair: "Damn it! I curse you and your ship to be riddled with holes and sink into this starfield forever!"

As the Kestrel fired, the pirate ship quickly exploded into a firework.

15 scrap and two missiles were collected from the wreckage of the pirate ship.

Lin Fan grinned: "Awesome, I got so many resources without fighting. I feel like this run is going well."

The exploration of the next few planets was also quite smooth, and the events were mostly positive results.

The enemies on easy difficulty are still relatively easy to deal with. Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry to upgrade the ship with scrap. Before he knew it, he had saved up 153 scrap.

Opening the star map, he saw a beacon marked "Bar" ahead.

"A space bar?" Lin Fan curiously chose this beacon to warp to.

What appeared before him was a space station floating in space that looked like a whale beast. The Kestrel slowly approached and docked on the open platform extending from the side of the space station.

At this time, an option popped up: "Who do you plan to send to the bar?"

The avatars of the crew members were lined up below. Lin Fan thought for a while: "Since it's a bar, it shouldn't be dangerous, right? I'll go ahead and scout the way."

So the yellow-haired Lin Fan, as the captain, entered the interior of the space station in a small aircraft.

The hatch of the ship opened. The first impression of the bar's interior was that it was dark. With the steel pillars hanging from the top of the bar and the four display screens hanging on them as the boundary, one side of the steel wall reflected a cool-toned light blue fluorescent light, reminiscent of the energy cubes in science fiction movies.

The walls on the other side refracted a somewhat dim red light, like the old neon lights of a disco in the 80s and 90s, with less passion and more dreaminess. The two lights coexisted indifferently and harmoniously, creating a cyberpunk atmosphere that blended advanced technology and decadence.

There were also many details in the bar, such as a specimen hanging on the wall that looked like the hairy leg of some giant spider, the rough entanglement of the display screen around the ceiling, the messy wires, and a human wearing a mecha exoskeleton arm-wrestling with a tall, hard stone man.

On the right side of the bar, you could see a circular bar counter. An Engi bald-headed boss was behind the bar, wiping glasses with a mechanical prosthetic hand.

The background music also switched to rock music with a bar style, full of the feeling of the times and full of interstellar feeling:

"The girl on the dance floor is obviously from another galaxy.

She looked at me with cosmic wide eyes, and I was already moved.

She asked me if I would like to be magnetized for an interstellar trip..."
