Wang Dong, reborn into this life, knew that if he inherited Yuan Shu's "Battleaxe," he could solve all the problems above.
Because the Battleaxe had several ship-borne modules, their efficacy was truly top-notch.
But he couldn't let this show.
Don't think that just because Yuan Shu was being so amicable to him, he was like those "benevolent elders" in novels.
Could anyone withstand the Jin family's pursuit for decades, constantly giving them trouble? It was impossible for an ordinary person.
Before his rebirth, Wang Dong, with his own cheat, only lasted ten years under the Jin family's pursuit.
So now, Wang Dong was wholeheartedly playing the role of "a promising young man."
Every word and action had to fit the "persona," otherwise, once Yuan Shu noticed something was off...
Wang Dong was clear that the Levi's military stimulant lasted for 24 hours, not just one hour!
Yuan Shu wasn't completely without other choices.
If Wang Dong didn't work out, there were plenty of other candidates in the mining district!
Yuan Shu had roamed the stars for decades, he wasn't some naive noble heir. Wang Dong's refusal, after a little thought, became somewhat clear to him.
"It was my oversight, I forgot that Wang Dong, my little brother, and those like us, weren't from the same world before."
Yuan Shu said with a tinge of melancholy, "I took over the Battleaxe at the age of 30 and have been roaming the stars for over 70 years, I have long forgotten what life is like for planetary residents."
Planetary residents, a term for ordinary people who lived their entire lives on a planet and couldn't easily step into the cosmos. It was neither a compliment nor a criticism, just a neutral term.
A very fitting description.
Like a "frog at the bottom of a well."
"Wang Dong, my little brother, I'm being presumptuous to call myself your elder brother, as I'm older and have seen more things. I understand you have your own thoughts and know more than most, but the level of your exposure is likely still lacking."
Yuan Shu struggled to release the safety belt that kept him in the seat, slowly straightening himself up.
"I've been entangled with the Jin family for so many years, yet I still roam freely. Their bounty on me has been increasing, but they still haven't been able to get me. Until this time, the Jin family found a family member of a key member of my crew, using coercion and enticement to turn him, setting a trap, and finally succeeding.
Being able to evade the Jin family's pursuit for decades wasn't a matter of luck.
Nor was it because of the Battleaxe's combat power.
It was because of the Yuan family's foundation, coveted by the Jin family. My ancestors, while roaming the stars, obtained additional ship-borne modules with special functions!"
"Additional ship-borne modules?"
Wang Dong was somewhat surprised.
"Aren't the modules on the Spark battleship called ship-borne modules? What are additional ship-borne modules?"
"It seems you don't know enough about Spark battleships.
Ship-borne modules are divided into two types: standard modules and additional modules. These are all common knowledge. The Battleaxe's ship-borne light brain has files on this, you can check it out later."
Yuan Shu chuckled lightly.
Wang Dong pretended to understand, but still shook his head and said, "Mr. Yuan, what you said makes sense, but there's still one crucial prerequisite I'm not confident about."
"What prerequisite?" Yuan Shu asked, puzzled.
"As far as I know, to become the captain of a Spark battleship, you must fuse with the ship-borne spark within the ship, and the probability of successful fusion is very low. Unless you can cultivate body-refinement to a high level, it's not a hundred percent guaranteed success."
Wang Dong said with a hint of shame, "I'm not from the privileged class, I don't have the qualifications to cultivate body-refinement, I might not even be able to fuse with the ship-borne spark."
But Yuan Shu shook his head slightly, "The fusion success rate you mentioned applies to the first-generation Spark battleships. Transferring the captain's authority doesn't need to consider the fusion success rate or the cultivation level of body-refinement, it will definitely succeed."
Wang Dong nodded, somewhat bewildered.
This was a question he had to ask, it's still the same thing, "persona" was important.
He had to demonstrate certain excellent qualities, such as calmness, composure, and meticulous thinking, making Yuan Shu believe that Wang Dong had the ability to cause trouble for the Jin family later, and there wouldn't be any "mistrust" issues.
But he also had to be careful not to overdo it, such as knowing far more than what he should have access to, or not caring about anything, as long as he could take over the captain's position.
"You can study the specific information later, trust me, it'll be a pleasant surprise." Yuan Shu's speech started to quicken, with a hint of impatience.
"Alright, then I'll trust Mr. Yuan. Of course, if Mr. Yuan has any other instructions, please tell me."
Wang Dong seized the opportunity, nodding reluctantly.
Yuan Shu would definitely have other conditions. He went through all this trouble and explained so much, was it just to hand over the ship to Wang Dong before he died?
Naive.
"Very well, then let's be upfront and honest."
Yuan Shu's voice softened slightly.
Then, as if receiving an order, the wheel-shaped intelligent medical machinery that had been hovering above Yuan Shu slowly moved in front of Wang Dong.
Then, a dark green syringe extended from one of the mechanical arms.
