He calmly reported his battle record, with a hint of self-pride, of course.
Star Sea Expedition is a full-immersion, all-star-domain, real-time battlefield strategy game.
It boasts a simulation rate of eighty-five percent.
Players take on the role of a warship captain, commanding their own warships to join designated battlefields, engaging in single-ship battles or fleet engagements.
The developer is a large tech company from the far side of the star domain, rumored to have a deep background.
The fact that this game has become so popular in the remote mining star domain where KQ-03 is located speaks volumes.
Before, Wang Dong cherished this rare channel to access information about warships and spent a lot of time and energy in the game.
Playing this kind of wide-area real-time strategy game requires more than just a personal home brain; you have to go to a large Internet cafe with dedicated login devices.
The fees are quite high.
Therefore, Internet fees account for a significant proportion of Wang Dong's daily expenses.
As a rigorous official game, its battle records can indeed reflect, to some extent, a player's familiarity with a standard warship and basic tactics.
Yuan Shu nodded in resignation, his voice hoarse: "It's better than nothing..."
"I was just thinking that, since we're still being pursued, we should try not to stay in one place for too long, no matter what."
Wang Dong shrugged, a little helplessly.
"After all, I'm basically a duck being forced to fly. I have to try to struggle, you know."
Yuan Shu shifted slightly with difficulty: "Caution is a good quality. It can help you better avoid the Jin family's pursuit.
However, I have a question. The Yuan family secret medicine on you requires the killing of a Jin family direct descendant to obtain the antidote.
So, why don't you just wait here for the Jin family warships to come and deliver the goods?"
Wang Dong smiled bitterly.
"I'm not naive enough to think that just playing a game makes me a real warship captain.
To be honest, I'm not even brave enough to pilot a warship yet, let alone fight.
Familiarizing myself with the ship's condition and practicing basic driving and maneuvering skills from the ground up are the priorities.
Furthermore, the ancients said, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy guarantees victory in a hundred battles.
And right now, I don't even know anything about my opponent. I'm completely blind to both myself and my enemy.
How can I expect to win in such a rushed battle?"
Yuan Shu relaxed his body and lay back down: "It seems you're clear-headed. If that's the case, my outlook on your future has brightened a bit."
Wang Dong laughed: "It seems that you, Mr. Yuan, have always maintained a pessimistic view of my future."
"That's because you don't understand how troublesome the Jin family is."
Yuan Shu shook his head.
"No matter what means they use, as long as the Jin family feels it's necessary, they will use it.
Take me, for example. Even though I've been dealing with the Jin family for decades, when my threat level and bounty in the Jin family's External Affairs Hall rose to a certain level.
When more resources were available, and the Jin family's direct descendants joined the pursuit mission against me, I still fell victim to the very schemes I looked down upon.
If even I am like this, what about a young man like you?
Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
After saying that, Yuan Shu sighed, his voice heavy with sorrow.
Wang Dong wanted to nod in agreement.
In his previous life, wasn't he just like Yuan Shu, hunted down with nowhere to turn?
But of course, he couldn't show that kind of despair now.
If he doesn't even have basic confidence, how can he expect others to leave him the last hope?
"Mr. Yuan, I think if we can avoid appearing in the Jin family's sight, then even the Jin family will have some oversights.
For example, the Jin family doesn't know about my existence yet. As long as I am careful not to expose myself to the Jin family, who would know that the new captain of the Battleaxe is just a space miner?"
Wang Dong said with a smile.
"That makes some sense. Although it's simple to say, with the Battleaxe's few additional modules, it's not impossible to achieve. It's just that the probability is very small."
Yuan Shu's expression moved slightly, then he became a little dismissive.
An experienced spacefarer who is familiar with the specific situation of the Battleaxe might be able to do it.
But as for the rookie Wang Dong...
Yuan Shu remained skeptical.
"Mr. Yuan, since it's a warship, why does the Battleaxe only have one main cannon? Even with four auxiliary cannons, it's only five. Isn't that firepower a bit weak?"
Wang Dong asked with some confusion.
"Have you misunderstood the word warship? Do you think it has no combat power if it doesn't have dozens of main cannons?"
Yuan Shu couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head.
"It seems you are indeed a rookie, as you said."
Wang Dong seemed a little embarrassed, blinking his eyes, saying nothing. Instead, he looked at Yuan Shu with curiosity.
