Chapter 712

Gu Ding successfully escaped from prison;

The Gu Ding Pirate Crew was reorganized;

The Gu Ding Pirate Crew recruited a mysterious new member …

Ever since Gu Ding left the Gates of Purgatory, his movements had been tracked by various media outlets.

Three years ago, Gu Ding's crew rose as a newcomer and caused a stir in the Cosmic Sea. Almost everyone in the Cosmic Sea knew their name.

Now that three years had passed and the Gu Ding Pirate Crew had reunited, it was impossible for them to remain silent.

Countless people in the Cosmic Sea were curious about the combat effectiveness of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. Countless people also wanted to know what the Gu Ding Pirate Crew's next move would be.

On a sunny morning, a huge black warship slowly landed at Bismarck's interstellar port.

Although the warship was huge, it did not attract much attention. Bismarck was the last stop for countless True Gods heading to the Countercurrent Space, so all kinds of spaceships had appeared there.

The Gu Ding Pirate Crew's appearance could be said to be silent. No one expected them to reach the edge of the Restricted Seabed Area in such a short time. No one expected the Gu Ding Pirate Crew to be ready to leave the Cosmic Sea without causing any trouble in the Restricted Seabed Area. In the past, they had always stirred up trouble wherever they went and had always been the topic of conversation in the Cosmic Sea.

After disembarking from the spaceship at Bismarck's port, Gu Ding and his crew split up into teams of two and started shopping.

As usual, Gu Ding chose to team up with Neptune. However, the two of them were not responsible for shopping but for the registration of leaving the Cosmic Sea.

As the entrance to the Countercurrent Space was jointly supervised by the Federal Government and several other major forces, everyone who left the Cosmic Sea, whether individually or in a group, had to register at the relevant area.

Bismarck was not under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government but the Freedom Alliance. Therefore, registration was also done at the Freedom Alliance's branch. However, there was not much difference no matter where one registered. Skynet would gather all the information for unified management.

The Freedom Alliance's landmark building was a tower called the Freedom Tower. Looking up from below, one could not see where the highest point of the tower was because it was covered by clouds. The meaning of the tower was to break through the clouds, break free from the shackles, and advance toward freedom.

Although it was not the first time Gu Ding and the others had passed by the Freedom Alliance's base, ordinary Freedom Alliance bases did not have this kind of building as the construction cost was too high. It was Gu Ding's first time seeing the real thing.

The registration office was located in the tower.

At the bottom of the tower, Gu Ding paused for a moment and looked up at the sky above the tower. He had seen many spectacular sceneries, but he had to admit that such a tall man-made building was indeed rare.

After entering the tower, the young lady in charge of reception was stunned the moment she saw Gu Ding. It was obvious that she recognized Gu Ding.

"May I know what business you're here for, sir?" She still chose to pretend that she did not recognize Gu Ding.

"I want to enter the Countercurrent Space. I'm here to register." Gu Ding and Neptune walked toward her.

"Enter the Countercurrent Space?!" The girl covered her mouth in surprise.

In fact, Gu Ding did not use voice transmission when he spoke just now. In addition to the girl in charge of the reception, the others also heard that he wanted to enter the Countercurrent Space. They all looked at him in surprise, wanting to see who had the guts to do so.

Many of them recognized Gu Ding at first glance.

"That guy, he looks like Gu Ding …" someone in the crowd said.

"I thought he looked a little like him just now. I thought it was just his looks …"

"Isn't that little boy next to him the new member of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew that the media was talking about two days ago?" Someone else also noticed Neptune's presence.

Gu Ding did not care about the crowd's gazes and discussions. He smiled at the dazed receptionist and said, "Where's the registration office? Can you take me there? "

The receptionist finally reacted. "Alright, come with me."

Gu Ding and Neptune quickly followed the receptionist and left.

After Gu Ding left, the Freedom Tower was in an uproar. The discussion was all about the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.

Moreover, photos of Gu Ding and Neptune had been secretly taken and posted on Skynet.

News about the Gu Ding Pirate Crew was refreshed once again. The most eye-catching headline was: "The Gu Ding Pirate Crew's Ambition – Grand Cosmic Sea!"

As soon as this shocking title was published, it took less than a few minutes for it to be read more than 100 million times.

The author of the article was also very talented. The entire article gave the impression that it was a face-to-face interview with Gu Ding. Not only were the details detailed, but the author even described the psychology behind Gu Ding's crew's decision. Although the content of the article was fabricated, it was not far from the actual situation.

Neptune naturally noticed the article as soon as it was published. After reading it, he just laughed it off and did not pay much attention to it.

Gu Ding and Neptune followed the receptionist and soon arrived at the registration office on the top floor of the tower.

The person in charge of the registration office was an old man in an inconspicuous gray robe. His aura was ordinary like that of an ordinary person.

When Gu Ding saw the old man, he vaguely felt that he was not an ordinary person. Even Neptune sneaked a few glances at the old man, obviously a little suspicious.

The old man, on the other hand, appeared very calm. He did not seem to know Gu Ding and Neptune's identities. He just gestured for them to sit down.

As soon as the two sat down, the old man said, "Name of the registrant?"

"Gu Ding."

The old man held a metal pen in his hand and wrote down Gu Ding's name in the void.

"Crew or individual?"

"Crew!"

"Crew name?"

"Gu Ding Pirate Crew."

The old man raised his head to look at Gu Ding when he heard about the pirate crew. However, he quickly lowered his head and continued with his work. After a while, he waved his hand. "It's been registered. You can go now."

Gu Ding did not intend to stay any longer. He nodded at Neptune and the two turned to walk out of the room.

Just then, they noticed that there was a strange black slate hanging on the wall. There were many names carved on the slate, and there was a string of numbers behind each name.

"What's this?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.
