Chapter 4
“Yay! We did it!!”
Looking at Gaia, who was pinned under a rock and unable to move, Sai Xiao Xi and his two companions were overjoyed, dancing with delight.
So, the legendary Gaia wasn't so great after all.
Gaia, with his lower body trapped by the giant rock, struggled in vain, unable to break free.
At this moment, how could he not realize he had been tricked by these three robots?
He angrily warned, "I warn you, release me immediately."
Having finally trapped him with great effort, Sai Xiao Xi naturally wouldn't release Gaia so easily.
He yawned, completely ignoring Gaia's defiant words.
He lay down leisurely on the ground, leaning against a rock, and casually said to his two companions,
"Pushing that big rock was tiring, I need a nap. You two watch over him."
"Kalu Lu, you sleep first. Guarding Gaia is my... my job,"
Before he could finish, A Tie Da started yawning and fell asleep.
"Sigh, what can I do?"
Kalu Lu was speechless.
Since both her teammates had fallen asleep, she could only reluctantly take over the task.
.......................................
The Seir Spacecraft, Control Room.
Seeing this scene on the monitor,
Captain Roger and the others felt a wave of darkness wash over them, their faces filled with black lines.
"This Sai Xiao Xi, and his two companions, really..." Captain Roger shook his head, a mouthful of old tea stuck in his throat.
Xi Xi frowned, "Sai Xiao Xi and the others are too lazy and careless."
"They haven't even figured out what's going on, how can they just lie down and take a nap?"
Why Gaia was here, where Ray was, none of these questions were answered, yet they were already taking a nap.
They were too unprofessional, whether as space explorers or Seir warriors.
"They have no sense of vigilance, what if the enemy takes advantage of this?," Instructor Lei Meng shook his head with a grim face.
"It seems we need to intensify their training!"

The video continued to play.
Night quickly fell.
Since there were no issues for the afternoon while Kalu Lu was on watch, she gradually relaxed.
But as she relaxed, drowsiness surged over her like a tide.
Kalu Lu's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and slowly, she leaned against the rock and began to snore.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Seeing the ropes tied to her two teammates' hands, the drowsy Kalu Lu was startled and instantly woke up.
"You, you guys are tied up?!”
Turning her head, she saw that Gaia, who had been trapped under the giant rock, had vanished!
Hearing Kalu Lu's scream, Sai Xiao Xi and A Tie Da, who were sleeping like logs, finally woke up with a jolt.
The two looked at the ropes tightly binding their hands, their faces full of confusion.
A Tie Da glanced at Kalu Lu and rolled his eyes, "Duh, you're tied up too, why are you asking us?"
"Ah?" Kalu Lu looked down and was stunned, she was also tied up!
"Don't worry, I'll save you."
Though they weren't sure what happened last night, the priority now was to escape.
Two mechanical arms with scissors shot out from Kalu Lu's head, and with two clicks, they cut through the ropes binding the three of them.
After freeing themselves, Kalu Lu wanted to gather with her two teammates, but as she started to run, a strong force came from above, grabbing her.
"Humph, trying to escape?" Gaia, holding Kalu Lu's mechanical arm, lifted her up.
"Gaia?" Kalu Lu was shocked, "How did you get out?"
Sai Xiao Xi and A Tie Da were also full of questions.
Gaia was clearly trapped under the rock, how could he have escaped on his own?
"Haha, let me tell you lowly robots."
With a wicked laugh, the space pirate, Ellison, holding a shovel, walked out from behind the giant rock.
"Ellison!!!”
Sai Xiao Xi and his three companions cried out in surprise, they never thought this space pirate was on Volcano Star!
Ellison brandished his shovel proudly, "Last night, while Kalu Lu was asleep..."
Turns out, last night, soon after Kalu Lu fell asleep, Ellison snuck out.
Seeing Gaia trapped under the rock, he used his shovel to dig a deep pit nearby.
Then, with a strong push, the giant rock fell into the pit, and Gaia was freed.
Ellison, who helped with the rescue, naturally earned Gaia's trust and friendship.
At Ellison's persuasion, Gaia helped him tie up Sai Xiao Xi and the others.
Hearing Ellison's explanation, Sai Xiao Xi was surprised.
"Dig... dig a pit, how did you know that? I invented that."
Ellison sneered, disdainful, "You invented it? We pirates all know that."
Sai Xiao Xi hung his head dejectedly, while A Tie Da shifted the blame to his companion, Kalu Lu.
"Humph, Kalu Lu, you left your post. You got us into this mess!"
"I..." Kalu Lu was speechless, her face filled with despair.
She deeply regretted her carelessness, otherwise, how could she have let Ellison get away.
..........................................
The Seir Spacecraft, Vanguard Battle Squad.
"Damn it, that blasted space pirate sneaked in while we were asleep!" A Tie Da was furious.
He, a cosmic warrior, was captured by a space pirate in his sleep, what a disgrace!
It was all Kalu Lu's fault for leaving her post!
A Tie Da blamed Kalu Lu, conveniently ignoring the fact that he was also sleeping like a log.
Sai Xiao Xi was distraught, "We're in big trouble now, we've fallen into the hands of space pirates, we're doomed."
Kalu Lu's face was also pale, "Worse, Gaia seems to trust him now, with him around, even if we want to escape, we can't."
..............................
The Oubi Pirate Organization Base.
"Hahaha, what a lucky break, I was searching high and low, and here they are."
"Low-level robots are just low-level machines, they have no sense of vigilance, easy pickings."
Ellison laughed out loud, he had captured three enemy combatants without a single shot fired, naturally, he was proud.
Even more proud was the fact that he had earned the trust of the legendary Gaia.
With this foundation of trust, he was confident he could bring Gaia to their pirate base.
At that point, he would be the hero of the Oubi organization!
"Good job, Ellison."
Dean also smiled, rarely complimenting Ellison.
