Just as the Customs Enforcent Ship stalled for a mont, by sheer misfortune, the 8384 fired another shot.
No one knew exactly where it hit, but the entire Customs Enforcent Ship shook violently and turned into a bright ball of fire.
In truth, no one could explain the origin of this shot, not even Qu Jianlei.
Wasn’t the firing controlled by Little Lake? Indeed it was, but this shot was commanded by Qu Jianlei on a whim.
He felt that firing at these coordinates would be effective, "Little Lake, can you fire here in 3.34 seconds?"
Technically, this was a serious breach of battlefield rules; as a commanding officer, he shouldn’t interfere with local tactical actions.
And as a frontline combat officer, Big Head Butterfly should have its own analysis and decision-making.
However, these two aren’t ordinary entities; Little Lake didn’t even ask why and directly stated, "Are you sure? Yes or no?"
"I’m sure... Yes!" Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation.
One shot, and the Customs Enforcent Ship turned into a ball of fire, leaving the opponent stunned, and even Little Lake was taken aback, "Did that... actually work?"
Qu Jianlei almost laughed in disbelief, "It’s already exploded, and you still don’t trust ."
"Whether I trust you or not isn’t important; you are my primary command," Little Lake casually replied, "There just happened to be a gun barrel nearby."
Big Head Butterfly spun wildly, transforming itself into a fat spindle, "But... how did you calculate it?"
"Well..." Qu Jianlei thought for a mont before answering, "If I said I didn’t know either, would you believe ?"
"Of course I would," Big Head Butterfly spun even crazier, "But... but I can’t calculate it."
Recently, Little Lake had been feeling sowhat inflated, thinking its capabilities in independent personality were lacking a bit, but in calculations, it certainly surpassed the boss.
After all, with several more computing units, its computational ability would naturally improve.
Of course, it ant no disrespect to the boss, since human brains have limits, but computational units can be infinitely added.
However, it felt it had grown, could now assist the boss, and even serve as a main force in aerial combat.
At this mont, it suddenly realized it was still a bit behind, its inner disappointnt was imaginable—if it had feelings.
It was really trying hard to calculate, but now it seed... outfitting large platforms must be put on the agenda!
"What are you thinking? We’re still in combat!" Qu Jianlei yelled at it in frustration, "You ask for equipping during downti, and now you’re crashing at a critical ti?"
"We’re fighting, we’re fighting," Big Head Butterfly hurriedly explained, "Didn’t you see, another Attack Ship exploded?"
Little Lake’s multi-threaded operating ability was truly unparalleled; while chatting, it destroyed another ship,
It also didn’t forget to add an explanation, "You said I could attack ships freely; collateral damage to humans isn’t a cri."
"Of course not," Qu Jianlei nodded without hesitation, "Pursuit!"
This was an unbelievable battle.
Two Customs Enforcent Ships, plus four Attack Ships, were all military ships and, on paper, could crush an Ard rchant Ship plus an Attack Ship.
However, in less than twenty minutes of engagent, the Customs Enforcent Division had already lost one Customs Ship and two Attack Ships, all blown up.
By the ti the second Attack Ship was blown up, the remaining Customs team no longer dared to hope for anything and turned to flee in panic.
Little Lake, following Qu Jianlei’s orders strictly, prioritized pursuing the main Customs Ship.
With the coordination of the Ard rchant Ship and the Attack Ship, the Customs Ship was in a pitiful state, desperately calling for its Attack Ships.
If it were a real military, this situation might have received support from Attack Ships, but unfortunately, they were not.
The two Attack Ships fled desperately, leaving no room to support their own.
"What a damn rabble!" soone on the Customs Ship cursed angrily.
"Are you fleeing blindly? Don’t you see how little Energy Blocks you have, can you make it back?"
"Stop wasting ti, quickly find the cha and Lifeboats, be ready to abandon ship at any ti!"
The Customs Ship hadn’t yet suffered severe damage, but all the Customs team mbers believed they were absolutely stuck.
The combat skills of the enemy crew were exceptionally high, and their tactical cooperation exquisite to the peak.
Fighting two-on-six, the enemy could destroy half of their combat power; now facing two-on-one, escaping was a fool’s hope!
Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Before the Customs Ship could be badly damaged, chas and Lifeboats were already sporadically ejecting from the ship, truly living up to the term rabble.
Even Little Lake was a bit stunned, "Boss, keep going?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, then added after a mont, "Don’t blow it up!"
Last ti, when Norton Family’s rchant ship self-destructed, it was because he didn’t want to be exposed and thought that Ard rchant Ship would be difficult to deal with.
But in reality, his whereabouts had still been leaked, and if that rchant ship was present, it wouldn’t be as hard to manage as he thought.
The first issue wasn’t his fault; the enemy did leave a backup. The latter issue proved that his overall judgnt of the situation was wrong.
Previously, he’d been continuously on the run, long accustod to lowering his presence, quietly growing in obscurity.
However, after advancing to Supre, everything was different.
For example, in critical situations, he could exhibit supre cultivation level and confront the opponent head-on.
Previously, he couldn’t do this—not because he was holding back, but because he simply didn’t have that cultivation level, and his strength didn’t permit it.
Now that he possesses such strength, he can’t just keep hiding it and not use it—wouldn’t that be insane?
However, this led to a reality: any unfamiliar supre would inevitably attract a lot of attention.
Moreover, when encountering a supre, most factions would retreat to avoid unnecessary losses.
Qu Jianlei excels at self-reflection; after careful analysis, he concluded that it is difficult for him to hide even if he wanted to.
Since it can’t be hidden, appearing intermittently should be the optimal choice for the present.
Then, is it not normal for a faction possessing a supre to have multiple starships?
Yes, he had Little Lake avoid blowing up the customs enforcent ship because he wanted to take this starship away.
As for whether anyone would dare to buy a customs enforcent ship after it’s fixed, he couldn’t care less; worst case, he’d use it himself.
Judging by the opponents’ nature, they probably wouldn’t put up much of a resistance.
Facing his order, Little Lake couldn’t help but mutter, "The last one was blown up by your instruction."
It felt sowhat resentful about being surpassed by the boss in its most proficient practical aspect.
"Focus on the operation," Qu Jianlei said sternly, "Take it down first."
"I can operate multi-threaded," Big Head Butterfly rotated its body, "How did you give that instruction just now?"
Qu Jianlei actually had confidence in Little Lake’s operation, so he frowned and began searching his mory.
If those customs enforcent mbers knew that their opponent was distracted during an intense space battle, they’d probably rage vomit blood.
Qu Jianlei thought for a long ti before uncertainly stating, "It was probably a sudden inspiration."
Big Head Butterfly spun around twice before asking, "Are you talking about the sixth sense?"
"No," Qu Jianlei shook his head, his perception of danger was strong and could be roughly called the sixth sense, "It should be the seventh sense!"
"The seventh sense..." Little Lake mumbled softly, "Does it only appear after the Golden Core? So envious of independent personalities."
Qu Jianlei fell into thought, this seventh sense... seed like a foreknowledge ability?
Just now he couldn’t clearly articulate what happened, he just felt that at a certain future mont, there would be a loophole.
Honestly speaking, although his ntal calculation ability is strong, it’s not as good as Little Lake, and far inferior to the Pioneer Terminal.
Even when faced with such a battle situation, he might not grasp fleeting opportunities, let alone predict them in advance.
Little Lake’s predictions are based on the opponent’s decision-making and operational capabilities, allowing it to execute precise attacks.
His prior prediction, directly unreasonable... maybe he discovered a vulnerability exposed by the ship’s energy tide after being hit?
This must be a superpower, but ti attribute... do awakened ones have this attribute?
Oh, right, I’m a cultivator, so I’ll consider this matter slowly.
Qu Jianlei collected his wandering thoughts and suddenly realized the second customs enforcent ship had also been damaged by Little Lake.
This ti, the targeted area was very precise—the power transmission system, accomplished through multiple accurate attacks.
The customs enforcent ship would soon be out of control, and Little Lake had experience modifying power systems, so this spot can be easily repaired.
In comparison, the big hole made in the custom enforcent ship’s hull is even more challenging to repair.
"Nicely done," Qu Jianlei casually praised, and then he startled, "Huh, there are still two people in the customs enforcent ship?"
The opponent’s weapon system was already disabled, without any ability to counterattack, so why are they staying?
Little Lake hadn’t yet exited the opponent’s network, "These two... only have spacesuits!"
The two didn’t want to leave; their survival capability in space was too low wearing just spacesuits.
Those wearing cha or in lifeboats had already ejected, leaving these two unfortunates behind.
Whatever the case, the customs enforcent ship still had sealed cabins, and hiding inside to await rescue provided a higher chance of survival.
Little Lake held low opinions of these customs enforcent mbers, "Not destroying themselves is one thing, but they don’t even dare to leave the cabin!"
"Ships can’t be destroyed easily!" Qu Jianlei understood.
A ship’s self-destruction is only feasible when damaged during warti, to avoid being captured by the enemy.
Are we in a warti situation with the customs enforcent ship? No, this is rely a battle.
It can broadly be defined as smugglers violently resisting customs enforcent personnel.
The customs enforcent likely thinks that smugglers wouldn’t dare take over their ship, so there is no need to self-destruct.
In fact, as a group of "contracted workers," they don’t have the authority to destroy the customs enforcent ship!
Qu Jianlei had long anticipated this, which is why he had Little Lake go easy.
Big Head Butterfly was eager, "The main ship’s power cannot be transmitted; should we chase those two attack ships?"
"Can the rchant ship catch up?" Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Our attack ship doesn’t have many energy blocks left either."
