Chapter 2: Mining Area

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Dong gathered his thoughts and activated his personal support system. A series of specific data appeared in front of his eyes.

Self-activation function: Scan

Self-activation function: Remote battleship control (Cannot be used)

Optional function 1: Alternate space signal acquisition (Cannot be used)

Optional function 2: Double source points acquisition (Cannot be used)

Optional function 3: Module characteristics selection (Cannot be used)

Optional function 4: Double module growth value (Cannot be used)

Upgrade function 1: Level restriction removal (Cannot be used)

Upgrade function 2: Fixed point invasion (Cannot be used)

…

The personal support system had many functions, but the only 1 that could be used normally was ‘Scan’. It was a mining spaceship, and it did not belong to a battleship, so the remote battleship control could not be used.

Only when he inherited Lorne’s Spark battleship could the remote battleship control function be used normally.

Those optional functions were specifically targeted at battleships and had little to do with normal spaceships.

If he did not inherit Lorne’s Spark battleship, Lin Dong would need to spend at least 50 years to obtain a battleship. He would also need compete with a lot of people for a few spots to obtain the battleship.

The battleship had a lot of great functions. It was something that normal people could not get their hands on.

Lin Dong’s personal support system was no different from before. However, he clearly understood that the 1-time hidden function that allowed him to live a new life was gone.

Fortunately, he would not make those foolish mistakes again.

The 10 years of escaping had taught Lin Dong a lesson. The Goddess of Luck would help him and would not help him. He still had to rely on himself. In the interstellar era, he needed to depend on himself to survive.

He had the strength to win against all his enemies. Who would dare to chase after him and make him unlucky?

Lin Dong turned off his personal support system. He activated the engine to its maximum power and flew toward the mining area.

“Lorne, I’m here.”

According to his current speed, it would take 10 hours to reach the mining area from Planet A399. The route along the way was regularly maintained by the 3 mining companies. There was no need for manual piloting.

After clicking on the autopilot, the optical computer could completely control the spaceship.

After setting the 3rd entrance of the mining area as his destination, Lin Dong left the operating table, found a pen and paper, and began to recall the events he had encountered during his 10 years of escape, as well as the various information he had gathered.

Regardless of the size of the events, he wrote them down on a piece of paper, and recorded them separately.

During these 10 years, he could not remember many of the small events, but he could clearly remember all the big events that had happened.

The purpose of doing this was to strengthen his memories. This was to prevent any carelessness that might result in missing out on an opportunity or being schemed by others.

Moreover, if there was enough information, Lin Dong could anticipate the enemy’s movements and launch an attack on them.

He memorized and wrote down all the events at the same time. It took him a total of 4 hours before he was roughly done.

Lin Dong was tired as he lay on the chair.

“Without the meditation technique to strengthen my body and mind, I can’t even think properly. I feel like I have forgotten something.”

“However, it’s not bad to be able to remember so much. I’ll slowly recall it in the future.”

Lin Dong rubbed his head and allowed himself to relax. He did not want to think about the meditation technique.

As something that was controlled by the nobles, it was completely impossible to cultivate the meditation technique on this mining planet.

The Spark battleship and the meditation technique were 2 things that were controlled by the privileged class. If a commoner possessed these 2 things, he could easily trade with any noble and transform his identity into that of a noble. He would have many privileges, but the prerequisite was that he must not have any enmity with the noble.

Of course, if one was powerful enough, one could also receive the treatment of a noble. However, one’s reputation would not be recognized.

Other than the battleship and the meditation technique, the other high-end resources were also monopolized by the privileged class . Those precious resources could stabilize their position as nobles.

However, Lin Dong was not worried at all. In another 3 days, when he inherited Lorne’s Spark battleship, in addition to his 10 years of experience piloting the battleship and the help of the personal support system, none of these would be a problem for him.

10 hours quickly passed.

Lin Dong read through the events he had recorded. After ensuring that he would not forget them in the next few years, he burned all the notes.

If the notes were leaked out, it would be troublesome to Lin Dong.

The optical computer rang out in the cabin.

“We have arrived at the 3rd entrance of the mining area. The autopilot mode is about to end. Please switch to manual mode.”

Lin Dong looked out. There were already some mining spaceships that had docked. Thus, he immediately sat back in the commander’s seat, pulled up the joystick, and switched to manual mode.

The airspace around the asteroid belt was complicated. It was not fixed in place. Instead, it was constantly in motion, just like how planets revolved around a star.

With the optical computer operating automatically, there was no guarantee that the ship would capsize.

For the sake of his own safety, it was safer to operate manually.

The 3rd entrance was not really an entrance. Instead, it was a fixed lighthouse set up by the mining company. Together with the map of the interior of the mining area, as long as miners did not run around randomly and move at the correct path, there was no danger of getting lost.

If the spaceship malfunctioned in the mining area, they could also request for help and provide backup.

Lin Dong controlled the spaceship and slowly docked according to the information transmitted from the lighthouse.

“How’s the situation? How long will the safety period be?”

After connecting to the communication network, Lin Dong directly asked the lighthouse observer.

“The flow rate is normal. The next safety period will probably be within an hour. If you have nice things this time, do not sell them to the others. If you give them to me, I’ll treat you to a drink next time.”

A rough voice sounded out. At the same time, on the communication network, the head of a man started to flicker.

Lin Dong smiled faintly as he responded, “Alright. Alright. If there is any, I’ll definitely contact you first.”

Cade seemed to be in a good mood as he smiled and reminded Lin Dong. “Alright, that’s all for now. Let me give you a reminder. A few miners are planning to follow your flight path. Don’t let them snatch your mineral resources.”

Snatch?

Lin Dong frowned slightly. Thanks to his previous record, he quickly recalled it.

In Lin Dong’s previous life, he had a personal support system. Although he could only use 1 function, he was able to select the best mining spaceship every time. At the same time, he could obtain the real-time data of the spaceship. If necessary, he could allow the spaceship to operate to its limit.

With that, the spaceship could go deep into the mining area and pick up more valuable minerals and ores.

This naturally caused the other miners to be envious.

They followed Lin Dong’s route and snatched the minerals away before he did. With him leading the way, as long as the other miners flew their spaceships properly, they would basically be able to pass through safely.

Back then, Lin Dong could not do anything to them. All of his minerals and ores got snatched by them.

After inheriting Lorne’s Spark battleship, he could not help but take revenge on a few of them. At that time, he did not manage it nicely. Hence, it was also a hidden danger that was later discovered.
