Chapter 488

Two days later, Gu Ding's crew arrived at a Federal Government branch station. When the spaceship landed at the port and Gu Ding and the others stepped out of the spaceship, many unfriendly looks were directed at them.

The planet was called Big Stone, and it was a planet rich in mineral veins. As the base of the Federal Government, almost no Interstellar Pirates had ever come here before. The port was heavily guarded, and there was a member of the Army every ten meters. These Army members were the source of the unfriendly stares.

As a member of the Army, they were naturally familiar with Gu Ding's crew. Gu Ding's crew occupied almost half of the top ten places on the Demigod Monster Ranking, and Gu Ding was the top powerhouse on the ranking. His slightly childish face had long been remembered by most people in the Federal Government Army.

Gu Ding and the others ignored them. They were here at the invitation of the Federal Government, so they had nothing to fear. Moreover, this was only a Federal Government branch in the shallow sea region. The cultivation level of the highest manager was not even an extreme deity. Gu Ding and the others could turn this station into nothing with a flip of their hand.

Of course, in addition to the Army members, some ordinary residents near the port who were more concerned about current affairs also recognized Gu Ding.

In the open-air tavern, someone suddenly muttered, "Two little lolis, a big guy, and a cat. I think that's the Gu Ding Pirate Crew."

Hearing his muttering, many people in the tavern looked in Gu Ding's direction.

"That's right, it's the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. I just saw Gu Ding's bounty in the tavern," someone shouted excitedly after seeing Gu Ding.

"Hey, keep your voice down. You'll be heard," the person sitting next to him immediately covered his mouth and reprimanded him.

"Why are there Interstellar Pirates here? Don't the Army care? " An old man frowned slightly. He had lived on this planet for decades, but it was his first time encountering Interstellar Pirates. As someone who had lived under the protection of the Federal Government since childhood, he naturally did not have a good impression of Interstellar Pirates.

"I'm afraid no one will dare to stop him. Gu Ding is too strong. I don't think even Sir Carmody is a match for him," someone next to him whispered.

"Oh no, he's coming toward us," someone suddenly shouted.

When the others saw Gu Ding's crew walking toward the tavern, their faces turned pale. They obediently shut their mouths and dared not say another word. They pretended to be calm as they sat where they were and drank, but their hearts were pounding.

Of course, Gu Ding heard the group's discussion. These people were just ordinary citizens. They did not know much about Interstellar Pirates, so it was normal for them to be afraid. Gu Ding did not care about such things. Even on Cerule, where Gu Ding used to live, most people were prejudiced against Interstellar Pirates, let alone this was the Federal Government Station. The Red Light District that Gu Ding used to live in was frequented by Interstellar Pirates. Aside from the local residents, the general public rarely went there.

Lilliath found an empty table and sat down. She deliberately slapped the Firearm Combat Armor at her waist on the table and pretended to be heroic as she shouted, "Waiter, give me some drinks!"

Gu Ding looked at her with a strange expression. It was obvious that Liliath had overheard what these people had said earlier and was deliberately scaring them.

Seeing the silver pistol that Liliath had slapped on the table, the faces of many people sitting nearby turned green.

A group of waiters stood not far from the door and did not dare to come over when they saw the scene. After a while, a small, thin man was pushed out. The small man was obviously a teenager who looked fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore black-rimmed glasses and looked like a student. He was probably a temporary worker here.

The small waiter walked over with some trepidation. "Hi … Hello … Excuse … What … What would you like?"

Gu Ding was never one to make things difficult for a waiter. He grinned at the waiter. "Give me a glass of milca. Wait, give me two glasses. I haven't had this in a long time."

"I'll have lime juice!" Liliath said as she played with the Firearm Combat Armor in her hand.

The small man was frightened. Afraid that he would upset Liliath, he quickly nodded. "Yes, yes."

After the rest of the people ordered their drinks one by one, many people around them were stunned.

This was because almost all of Gu Ding's crew had ordered drinks like fruit juice. Only Dockett had ordered a Binks, which was also a fruit wine with very low alcohol content. As the captain, Gu Ding had ordered milca, a legendary toddler's drink.

'Aren't Interstellar Pirates the kind who can drink half a box of Fiery Brew in one go? Why does the Gu Ding Pirate Crew drink fruit drinks? 'Many people secretly criticized in their hearts.

Fiery Brew was a type of liquor with an extremely high alcohol content. It was like a raging fire entering the stomach after entering the mouth. An ordinary person could have their intestines perforated with just one sip. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was a taboo drink. No one knew where these unreliable rumors came from, but they said that Interstellar Pirates drank Fiery Brew, and that each of them drank half a box in one go.

After finishing their drinks, Gu Ding and the others left the tavern with an ice cream in each hand. Everyone who saw them was even more stunned.

"Interstellar Pirates eat ice cream? Aren't they supposed to eat human flesh? "One person muttered as he watched Gu Ding and the others walk away.

"That's right. I've also heard that Interstellar Pirates eat human flesh for every meal. As for dessert, it's pudding made of human blood. "Another person nodded quickly.

"Maybe they're tired of eating human flesh and have a change of taste," another person said with his chin in his hand.

"Hmm, that makes sense. That would explain why they don't drink Fiery Brew anymore." Another person thought it made sense and quickly agreed.

"They seem to be heading toward the Federation Hall …" Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed in surprise. "That's the Federal Government's station. Are they trying to seize control of this planet?!"

The crowd suddenly panicked, and someone even posted the news of Gu Ding's arrival on Skynet.

In fact, there were many similar incidents on Skynet that day. They were all well-known Interstellar Pirates suddenly appearing in the Federal Government's station.

Gu Ding and the others walked to the entrance of the Federation Hall. Although the guards at the entrance looked unfriendly, they did not stop them. It was obvious that the higher-ups had already informed them, and they dared not disobey the order.

After entering the hall, a woman in a blue uniform greeted them. "Hello, Gu Ding. Welcome."

"Where can I claim my reward?" Gu Ding asked directly.

"Please follow me." The uniformed woman only smiled slightly and led Gu Ding and the others deeper into the building. Along the way, the atmosphere was rather awkward because no one took the initiative to talk to them.

After leading Gu Ding and the others to a reception room, the uniformed woman spoke again. "Please rest here for a while. I'll inform the Sir Administrator."

Gu Ding and the others did not have to wait long. After about five or six minutes, the Administrator arrived. He was a slightly plump middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance. He was the kind of person that would be missed if thrown into a crowd.

"My name is Billington. Hello, Gu Ding's Pirate Crew. I've heard of you for a long time, but I didn't expect to actually meet you." The middle-aged Administrator greeted them with a smile.

Gu Ding could feel that the other party seemed to be someone who had been through a lot. He was completely calm when he saw them.

"Mr. Administrator, we're here to claim our reward." Gu Ding did not have much in common with the people of the Federal Government, so he was very direct about his purpose of coming.

"Captain Gu Ding is indeed as straightforward as the rumors say. Alright then, those who have received a reward, come with me. The rest of you can have a drink or a snack. Wait here for a while. " Billington was not annoyed. He used the communicator to call the uniformed woman over, gave her some instructions, and then left with Gu Ding and the others.

Billington took Gu Ding and the others to an elevator that reached an unknown depth underground. After going through more than a dozen levels of authorization, they finally arrived at the door of a small room.

"Only one person can enter at a time. Once you're inside, follow the instructions and you'll get the reward you want." After Billington finished speaking, he pressed his right palm on a scanning screen next to the door.

With a beep, the silver door opened.

"Who's going first?" Gu Ding looked at the people around him.

"You go first. You're the captain, so you have to take the lead," Liliath said.

"Alright then." Gu Ding nodded and stepped into the room.

After he stepped in, the door closed automatically.

After entering the room, Gu Ding immediately heard Neptune's voice in his ears. "This is a small-scale base station built by Skynet. Information from here can be transmitted directly to Skynet."

At the same time, a ray of light shot out from somewhere on the ceiling. Gu Ding was about to dodge but was stopped by Neptune.

Gu Ding stood where he was. After the ray of light scanned Gu Ding from head to toe, a voice came from the ceiling. "Identity confirmed. Name: Gu Ding. Demigod-Level Virtual World Trial Field Champion. Total points: 4.08 billion."

"Hello, Trial-Taker. I'll briefly explain the reward exchange rules. Items of the same value as a 1-star God Item can be exchanged for one to thirty thousand points. Items of the same value as a 2-star God Item can be exchanged for one to three hundred thousand points, and so on. Five-star God Items can be exchanged for one to three hundred million points. Above 5-star God Items are pseudo-spiritual items. The cheapest item in this category requires at least one billion points to exchange. As for real spiritual items, you need at least a trillion points to exchange for one. "

"A trillion points?! No one can meet this requirement, right? "Gu Ding was speechless.

"Virtual World Trial Field points can be accumulated, and the points of each level can be brought to the next level after promotion. There are people in the Federal Government camp who have achieved trillions of points, "the female voice explained.

Only then did Gu Ding understand that the Virtual World he had entered before was actually a trial field used by the Federal Government. Moreover, there was more than one such trial field.

"Don't think too much about it. Choose your reward first. The others are still waiting," Neptune reminded.
