Chapter 116

With the Grey-faced Buzzard's speed, it would take about a week or so to travel from Derisis to Mayor Sector.

The spaceship had been traveling for three days, and Lilliath's spirit had long recovered.

Since detailed video tutorials could be found on Skynet for most recipes, Neptune could easily crack some of the encrypted information. Therefore, Biggie's cooking skills were progressing smoothly. His culinary skills improved by leaps and bounds every day. He even made soup for the injured Lilliath in different ways every day, allowing Gu Ding to bask in the limelight as well.

Although the food problem had been solved, Gu Ding and Lilliath were the kind of people who could not stay still. After being locked in the spaceship for three days, the two of them could not stand it anymore. After discussing with Neptune, they quickly found a planet with humans living on it.

The spaceship successfully docked at the port, and the hatch opened. Gu Ding stood at the door and stretched. "I can finally see land."

When the three of them got off the spaceship, they realized that it was a rather prosperous planet.

Biggie's huge figure attracted the attention of some people, but they did not show too much surprise.

There were also some Interstellar Pirates loitering near the port who recognized Gu Ding and his group. Biggie's size was too easy to recognize, and the video of him dismembering the giant golden alligator with his bare hands had several times more views than the video of Gu Ding bombarding Fengyuan. Almost all the Interstellar Pirates in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation had seen that incredible video, and they had put Gu Ding and his group on the list of people who should not be provoked. In the video, the strength that Biggie displayed was not something that an ordinary person could do. It was almost the strength of a realm master, comparable to the level of a general in the Federal Government Army. This kind of strength would be considered top-notch even in the Cosmic Sea. Before entering the Cosmic Sea, it could be said that he was a peak combat power.

Many Interstellar Pirates who recognized Gu Ding and his group pretended not to know them. After all, as far as they knew, Gu Ding was a troublemaker wherever he went. It seemed that every time he docked on a planet, he would cause some trouble. Due to Biggie's deterrence, most people did not want to have a conflict with Gu Ding and his group. The longer they were in the Interstellar Pirate business, the more they knew that one had to find a soft target to bully.

Gu Ding did not plan to stay on this planet called Bostan for too long. He just wanted to find a market near the port to stroll around and relax before leaving.

Neptune easily found a map of Planet Bostan on the Skynet. He enlarged and projected the map near the port. The map showed that there was a market about two kilometers away from the port. It was also one of the largest markets on the planet.

Just as he put away the map and was about to leave, someone called out to him.

"Are you Gu Ding?" A young man with shoulder-length blond hair, an earring in his left ear, and a black leather jacket walked toward Gu Ding and the others. The red leather boots on his feet were very eye-catching.

"You are?" Gu Ding did not have much of an impression of the guy in front of him. However, based on the way he was dressed, he would have recognized him immediately if he had seen him before. It was obvious that he had never seen this person before.

"He's Nick, the Interstellar Pirate who wants to challenge you and Liliath and take your ranking." Neptune had looked up Nick's information on the spaceship and knew what he looked like.

"My name is Nick. It seems like you're not very well-informed. You don't even know about my public challenge?" Nick said as he looked at the intelligent wristwatch on Gu Ding's hand. "I think you should really change that ordinary civilian wristwatch of yours."

Neptune had disguised himself as an ordinary civilian wristwatch for convenience. Now that he was being ridiculed by Nick, Neptune could not take it anymore. He calmly said in Gu Ding's ear, "Gu Ding, flatten him into a pig's head!"

When Gu Ding heard Neptune's words, he grinned. "I know about the public challenge, but why should I accept it? If you can give me a convincing reason, I'll accept your challenge. "

"Reason?" Nick scratched his head and could not say anything for a long time. He really could not think of a suitable reason. "What reason do I need to accept a challenge? Then let me ask you, what's the reason for not accepting the challenge? "

When he heard Nick's question, Gu Ding shrugged his shoulders. "The reason for not accepting the challenge is very simple. If I win against you, I won't gain anything, and you won't lose anything. On the other hand, if I lose, your ranking will rise, and no matter how I look at it, you're the only one who benefits. Why should I accept a challenge that doesn't benefit me in any way? "

"Well …" Nick could not find a reason to refute Gu Ding's words.

"If there's nothing else, please make way. We're going shopping," Gu Ding said as he prepared to leave with Liliath and Biggie.

"No, you have to accept my challenge!" Nick still blocked the path of the three of them.

Gu Ding stared at Nick for a long time. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "I don't do things that don't benefit me. If you must challenge me, then bring out some stakes. If I win, at least I can get some benefits. That's only fair. If there's no suitable stakes, my answer is still no. "

"I have two hundred million Star Credits. I can bring out a hundred million as a stake." When Nick heard what Gu Ding said, he was silent for a moment. Then, he reluctantly offered a stake.

"I don't want money." Gu Ding shook his head. "If you have Energy Crystals used by the Mechanical Tribe during the Middle Ages, I'll gladly accept them."

"How could I possibly have something like that?" Nick felt that Gu Ding was making things difficult for him. However, he suddenly remembered something. "Wait, I killed a guy some time ago and I think I got a strange Energy Crystal. I looked it up on Skynet and couldn't find any information about it. I think it might have been left behind by an ancient civilization. "

"Take it out and let me see." Although Gu Ding did not hold out much hope, he still wanted to see what the Energy Crystal was and whether it could be used by Robert.

"Let me look for it!" Nick said as he rummaged through his Inventory. After five or six minutes, he finally pulled out a blue stone. The stone was blue and crystal clear. It looked like a huge square sapphire. Under the sunlight, the surface of the stone was like the surface of water with a layer of faint white ripples.

"Accept his challenge!" Neptune shouted in Gu Ding's ear the moment he saw the stone. There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"It's beautiful …" Liliath's eyes lit up when she saw it.

Gu Ding nodded without batting an eyelid. "Alright, this seems like a good bet. I accept your challenge."
