Chapter 76

When the half-meter-tall humanoid robot appeared in front of Gu Ding and Lilliath, both of them were visibly stunned.

"His name is Battle No. 1. He's now in the state after the metal sphere was activated," Neptune explained in their ears. "I think he's very suitable for the job of a mechanic."

"Hello, my name is Gu Ding, and this is Lilliath. Welcome to our crew! "Gu Ding grinned.

"Don't you need to do some research?" Battle No. 1 did not expect Gu Ding to make a decision so quickly.

"There's no need. If Neptune thinks you can do it, then there's no problem." Gu Ding turned his head to look at Lilliath. "Lili, what do you think?"

"You decide. You're the captain." Lilliath did not raise any objections. One reason was that she trusted Neptune's decision, and the other was that she felt that a high-level mechanical life left behind from the Middle Ages would be very powerful. It would only be beneficial for him to stay in the crew.

"Are you sure you're not going to ask me about my background before you recruit me as a member of your crew? What if I've done something bad in the past? " Battle No. 1 still did not accept Gu Ding's invitation immediately. After all, he knew that most humans would not approve of his past. Although he did not directly participate in the war from the beginning to the end, according to the humans of the time, he was a high-level war criminal. If they had not created superweapons, the war would not have been so tragic.

"I heard from Neptune that you're a life form from more than 10 billion years ago. No matter what you did back then, 10 billion years have passed. That's enough to be included in the history textbooks of the Middle Ages. Most Interstellar Pirates have a disgraceful history. I don't need to know what you've done in the past. That's your privacy. We can't change history, but we can change the present. " What Gu Ding said was what he had always insisted on, just as he had never asked about Lilliath's affairs. He knew that if one day she wanted to talk, he would be by her side to listen, and that would be enough.

"I have two requests. As long as you agree to them, I'll agree to join you." Battle No. 1 was silent for a moment before replying. He was struggling internally.

"The first request: I'll only be a mechanic in the crew. I won't participate in any battles because I hate them."

"We only need a mechanic. Leave the combat to us." Gu Ding readily nodded in agreement. In truth, he had never intended for the mechanic to participate in the battle from the beginning.

"Second request: I need you to give me a new name. I don't want to use the name Battle One anymore. "With that, Battle One looked at Gu Ding.

"What about Robert?" Gu Ding grinned.

"Mm, this name is not bad. It suits me very well." Battle No. 1 readily agreed. "I've already inspected this ship. It's quite old. If there's time, it should be good to renovate it. However, the most important thing now is to repair some of the damaged areas. I'll give you a list of the materials we need. Once the materials are ready, we can start working. "

"How long will it take to fix it?" Gu Ding was considering whether he should continue to stay on the planet or leave first and make repairs along the way.

"If all the materials are ready, we should be able to completely fix it in about half an hour." Robert did not think that it was a lot of work.

"But Neptune told me that if the repair shop comes to repair it, it will take at least two days. Are you sure that half an hour will be enough?" Gu Ding usually trusted Neptune's words, but Robert seemed very confident.

"If Robert says that he only needs half an hour, then he should only need half an hour. The craftsmanship of their mechanical civilization is completely different from what has been passed down. The two days that I calculated before was based on the current level of craftsmanship on this planet, "Neptune explained in Gu Ding's ear.

"Don't worry, Captain. Half an hour is enough for me." Robert's tone was full of confidence. This was his first job as a crew member, and he planned to perform well and show his worth.

"While it's not dark yet, Lili and I will split up to look for materials. If possible, I hope to leave this place tonight. The Onassis family must have already leaked the news that we're on this planet. The longer we stay on this planet, the more dangerous our situation will be. "Although Gu Ding was not afraid of a challenge, no one liked trouble that came knocking on his door." That's right. The Onassis family had put up a private bounty of one billion Star Credits, and it had already caused some Rank-7 Gene Body powerhouses to make a move. Gu Ding also knew that the chances of him surviving an encounter with a Rank-7 Gene Body martial arts practitioner were not high.

After getting Robert's list, Neptune immediately gave him the best route to purchase the materials. They had to go through five ore processing plants to buy them all.

After getting off the spaceship, Gu Ding and Liliath split up and walked toward two ore processing plants in two different directions.

"Neptune, keep an eye on Lili. The Onassis family should have already spread the news that we're here last night. I'm guessing that the first wave of Interstellar Hunters should have arrived on this planet by now. As for Lili, remind her to avoid her opponents as much as possible … "Gu Ding was interrupted by Neptune before he could finish.

"It's too late. Both of you have been followed since you got off the spaceship." Neptune brought bad news. "I've already reminded Lili to be on the lookout. Generally speaking, people who do tailing aren't very strong, so you don't have to worry. If there's really a problem, I'll let you know immediately. "

"Alright then, I'll see what this guy who's tailing me is capable of." Gu Ding grinned and used Ultimate Arts Level 6 Silent Step one after another. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from where he stood.

A man in black standing at the corner of a building blinked twice and realized that Gu Ding, whom he had seen just now, had disappeared.

Liliath, on the other hand, took a completely different approach. After getting a hint from Neptune, she walked toward a small alley with fewer people. The person who was tailing her followed her, but after following Liliath around a few corners, he realized that he had lost her.

"Hey, are you looking for me?" He heard a voice behind him and felt the cold touch of a gun on the back of his neck.

"Sweet dreams!" Liliath pulled the trigger, and the man's body instantly went limp and fell to the ground. She bent down and pulled out the anesthetic needle from the man's neck before turning to leave.
