Chapter 1068: Chapter 1067: Spaceship
Yanran, captivated by the ongoing chess match, unconsciously reached out to pick up a piece.
Jiang Cheng attentively watched the direction where her fingers landed.
A soft "click" sounded as Jiang Cheng’s piece was taken.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Cheng’s mouth. He lowered his head to continue watching the game, unable to help but sigh. His disciple was truly exceptional.
The master and student appeared calm, yet on the board between them, the battle was raging fiercely, neither side relenting, completely absorbed in their game.
Suddenly, the spaceship shook violently, Jiang Cheng and Yanran raised their heads in surprise, not yet understanding what was happening.
They heard Ba Lvluo shout loudly, as she cursed. Little girls aren’t great at swearing, just going around calling people "bastard," "shameless," and such.
"What’s going on?" Yanran asked Ba Lv.
Jiang Cheng also found it strange. They were flying on a designated route, which had been thoroughly checked, and nothing unexpected should happen there.
So for the spaceship, flying smoothly, to suddenly experience an unusual jolt, there had to be a reason.
Moreover, their spaceship wasn’t just any ordinary spaceship, it was specifically built for Delmar’s head. Putting aside other factors for now, at least the safety features were impeccably reliable.
"That bastard!" Ba Lv gritted her teeth, and as she cursed, the spaceship suddenly sped up.
Jiang Cheng and Yanran moved beside Ba Lv, looking at the screen in front of her, not far from their spaceship, was another craft flying ahead.
Jiang Cheng understood now; they were in a "race."
No need to curse just because others fly faster." Jiang Cheng, understanding the situation, teased Ba Lv.
"What do you mean, others fly faster than me!" Ba Lv’s hands never paused, she turned to glare at her teacher.
What kind of teacher is this? Who is close to him really? Obviously, he’s siding with an outsider.
"If it wasn’t for your quick reflexes, superior piloting skills, my dear teacher, and my dear senior sister, you’d still be floating aimlessly in space." Ba Lv added, "Might even have been wiped out.
"No way." Yanran laughed, her junior disciple often exaggerated, turning simple matters into huge, sensational stories.
"What do you mean no way! You think I’m joking?" Ba Lv retorted sharply.
Just now, her teacher spoke for the other side, now her senior sister didn’t trust her either; she was obviously upset.
"The other ship suddenly accelerated, brushing past us. If it weren’t for my quick reaction, we’d have collided." Ba Lv said.
Suddenly she shouted again, "Look, that bastard is at it again!
Jiang Cheng and Yanran lifted their heads at the sound. Indeed, the ship in front suddenly slowed down, and Ba Lv maneuvered their craft in a dazzling S-pattern, avoiding the troublesome ship while positioning their spaceship behind it.
"Eat dirt, bastard!" Ba Lv cursed, as the spacecraft sped forward swiftly.
Their ship "Yanran and Ba Lv" originally had superior capabilities, and when it was built, the designers had a clear purpose in mind.
It was a spaceship that ensured users could reach a certain place at the highest speed, minimizing travel time as much as possible.
Thus, the designers put considerable effort into speed and protection, incorporating many new devices to enhance these aspects.
Now they were leading, and with ample power, the ship that had been challenging them had no hope of catching up.
"See now?" Ba Lv still remembered what her teacher and senior sister said earlier.
She wasn’t a newbie piloting a space craft for the first time, nor an amateur; she wouldn’t make such stupid mistakes.
"I see, I see." Yanran patted Ba Lvluo, laughing, "My dear little junior’s fragile heart must have shattered into pieces.
"Oh, shut it, who has a fragile heart?" Ba Lv countered with a smile: "Next time, don’t criticize me without knowing the situation. Am I really that unreliable?" She turned and smiled at Jiang Cheng, "Right, teacher?
Jiang Cheng was just about to speak when suddenly the spaceship’s communication device lit up, Yanran glanced at it: "It’s the public channel.
Space travel is full of uncertainties, even on designated routes, potential dangers can arise.
So various planets designated a band as the public channel, allowing those in distress to call for help promptly.
"Hey, Silver ship up ahead, can you hear us?" The voice through the communicator was in universal space language.
"Say what you have to say!" Ba Lv didn’t have any patience.
"So aggressive, if you have the guts, switch to another channel, and we’ll discuss it further." The voice from the other side sounded young and human.
You’re right, I really don’t have anything to discuss with you," Ba Lv sneered, she wasn’t a hot-headed young person easily provoked into rash actions.
But her mouth didn’t spare them: "I’m just piloting the spaceship, if you have what it takes, catch up, and we’ll talk slowly.
The people on the other side didn’t expect Ba Lvluo to respond this way, leaving them momentarily silent.
"Hah!" Ba Lv was smug as she looked at Jiang Cheng and Yanran, waiting proudly for their praise.
As expected, Guo Ran understood Ba Lv’s needs the most, she gave Ba Lvluo a thumbs-up, "Awesome," Ba Lv was satisfied and smiled.
Jiang Cheng shook his head, these young people causing a disruption affected his interest in the chess game, truly annoying.
"Are you competing with us?" The communicator voiced again; clearly, the other side was persistent.
"Competing? Competing to see who flies the slowest? Unfortunately, I’m afraid I can’t match that." Ba Lv coldly responded, finding the elementary provocation method infuriating.
"I’m telling you, don’t get too cocky!" The other side sounded a little irritated.
"I’m just this cocky, what about it?" Ba Lv replied without remorse, these young human men have simple minds, and yes, limited experience.
Without knowing who they’re dealing with, they’re recklessly stirring up problems, are they so sure they’re invincible, won’t get into trouble?
Then the communicator had another voice speaking: "We were thinking, given the long journey, it’s quite boring, how about a little race to pass the time?"
Ba Lv thought this person’s words were more reasonable.
"See, speaking courteously is the way to go, don’t just bluster thinking you’re unbeatable. Let’s switch channels and continue our little competition." Ba Lv felt a bit dull piloting the ship alone, and now with someone to race against, it was the perfect way to kill time on an otherwise tedious journey.
"Teacher, may I?" Ba Lv knowingly asked.
