I Want to Become an Interstellar Pirate! Extra Chapter 3

This is the fourth update for today!

Fa Te did find it rather boring these days on Gu Ding's spaceship. Gu Ding and the others had all gone into seclusion, and the huge spaceship was not as lively as usual.

However, having grown up alone, he spends a lot of time by himself and knows how to find ways to entertain himself. He watches the news every day without fail, keeps track of financial indices, and occasionally tries his hand at trading. When he's hungry, he goes to the kitchen and cooks something; his cooking skills, while not as good Bigge's, are still passable. He spends most of his free time reading. His favorite genres are books on strange and unusual events, followed by biographies. So, whenever he travels, he goes on a buying spree at online bookstores, not even looking at the titles, just the categories, adding the entire category to his online bookshelf, and then checking out.

One day, he stumbled upon a book on his online bookshelf—a biography of Interstellar Pirate. Normally, he wouldn't read biographies; he was most interested in heroic tales and occasionally browsed books about financial tycoons. But after meeting Gu Ding, he had become somewhat curious about the profession of Interstellar Pirate.

Driven by this curiosity, he began to read on. He spent an entire day reading, until he finished the book, which contained hundreds of thousands of words, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is what the life of Interstellar Pirate is like!"

For the next few days, he spent every day searching for books about Interstellar Pirate on his bookshelf, flipping through them one by one, completely absorbed in them.

Gu Ding and his companions were completely unaware of this.

What is a day in the outside world is twenty days in Robert's realm.

At this time, ten days had passed in the outside world, but one hundred days had passed in Robert's domain.

Gu Ding drank over a hundred bottles of Beast Blood, averaging one bottle every two days. The more advanced his Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body became, the stronger the blood and flesh energy it required. Even so, the permanent boost to the Gu Ding Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body's Golem Realm increased to a thousandfold, and the temporary boost to the Giant Strength Realm also increased to ten thousandfold. Furthermore, the basic strength of Gu Ding's body also advanced from One-Star Low-rank God to a two-star level.

Gu Ding wanted to continue drinking Beast Blood to break through his limits, but the Sea Emperor stopped him.

"Your Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body has already reached its peak at this cultivation level. Drinking more Beast Blood would only be a waste of resources. If you want to improve further, you can only wait until your cultivation reaches the Demigod Realm."

Gu Ding felt the same way. These past few days, the further he progressed in his cultivation, the slower the amplification effect became. One bottle of Beast Blood provided less than a tenfold increase in power. He guessed that it was likely due to insufficient cultivation level. Insufficient cultivation meant his body could only hold a limited amount of energy, naturally slowing down his cultivation speed. To further improve his strength, he would have to find another way.

Besides Gu Ding's improvement, everyone else also made breakthroughs.

Bigge has successfully completed the 100% divine transformation of his body by using the energy contained in the five bottles of Beast Blood. Moreover, his aura even exudes an ancient flavor, clearly indicating that he has gained some benefit from the Beast Blood.

"Bigge has benefited greatly this time. He actually used the will within the Beast Blood to hone his Blade Intent, and his sword dao realm is now infinitely close to the perfection of the Spiritual Affinity Realm. As long as he is given enough time, a breakthrough is only a matter of time." The Sea Emperor noticed Bigge's change.

Elsa's cultivation had quietly broken through to the Demigod Realm. Her body, like Gu Ding's, remained a flesh-and-blood life form, indicating that she, like Gu Ding, had chosen the physical cultivation path. However, her aura was already terrifyingly powerful; her physical body was already at the strength of a mid- Five-Star Mid-rank God, and it was still improving.

Liliath's situation was rather unique; her pupils had turned a purplish-gold color, completely different from her previous golden hue.

Seeing that Gu Ding was looking over, the Sea Emperor explained, "After Liliath's physical enhancement was completed, she reached the peak of demigod strength, but later entered a bottleneck. So, I taught her a method to enhance her pupils, having her Beast Blood with a potion into her eyes. Originally, it was just for enhancement, but unexpectedly, it caused her pupils to revert to their ancestral state, greatly increasing her Pupil Power, and her soul strength directly jumped to the level of Mid-rank God, and her mental power also increased dramatically. Once the reversion to her ancestral state is complete, her cultivation should be able to easily break through to the Demigod Realm."

Gu Ding then looked at Dokter and, seeing his condition, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with him?"

Dokter sat motionless, as if in deep meditation, while the containers holding the Beast Blood spontaneously sprang from his Storage Space. The Beast Blood rose from the containers like a thin rope, disappearing into Dokter's body. He seemed completely unaware of this, and not a single trace of energy emanated from his body.

"I've researched a lot about Dokter's condition, and the only reasonable explanation is that he was extremely lucky to have obtained the bloodline inheritance of that Starry Sky Giant Beast and is now in a state of enlightenment," the Sea Emperor explained.

"Bloodline inheritance? Isn't it only possible to obtain it by acquiring complete blood marrow?" Gu Ding couldn't help but ask.

"Not necessarily. In fact, anyone who obtains Beast Blood has a chance to inherit a bloodline, but the probability is extremely small, and the number of people who do so is also extremely rare. Especially for powerful Starry Sky Giant Beast, the probability is even more minuscule, less than one in a billion. It can only be said that Dokter's luck is beyond the heavens." The Sea Emperor hadn't expected Dokter to encounter such a thing. "However, if you want Dokter's strength to be enhanced to the greatest extent, the corpse of that Crimson Blood Beast cannot be disposed of. I have a secret method that allows him to refine that Crimson Blood Beast into an avatar. However, he can only cultivate it after his soul strength reaches the level of Peak-rank God."

"The avatar of Starry Sky Giant Beast..." Gu Ding's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "I want to learn that too!"

"That kind of secret technique has certain conditions for cultivation. The cultivator must obtain the inheritance of a corresponding beast, and the Brain Nucleus inside the beast's corpse must be intact," the Sea Emperor said irritably. "If you want to learn it, we can only kill another Starry Sky Giant Beast and then let you obtain its inheritance."

"Then forget it..." Gu Ding thought it best not to encounter such a terrifying creature in the short term, after all, everyone's cultivation level was limited. "I'll try hunting some Starry Sky Giant Beast after I reach the Peak-rank God."

"Huh," Gu Ding suddenly noticed a pile of empty containers not far from him, just as many as there were on his side, and Tagore was sleeping in one of the empty containers. "That lazy cat. His aura has already reached the Mid-rank God?!"

"To be precise, he's already Three-Star Mid-rank God," the Sea Emperor added. "I still don't understand what kind of being he is, or why he advanced so quickly. And he didn't even Heavenly Tribulation. It's understandable that he doesn't suffer Heavenly Tribulation when advancing to a lower-level god, but it's very strange that he didn't Heavenly Tribulation at all when he advanced from Low-rank God to Mid-rank God."

"Isn't the rule of the Reverse Dragon River Channel that no Heavenly Tribulation will befall it?" Gu Ding couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but Elsa has broken through to the Demigod Realm and has tribulation power on her body, which means that she will encounter Heavenly Tribulation as soon as she leaves the Reverse Dragon River Channel. But Tagore has no tribulation power at all, and he gives the impression that he has been ignored by Heavenly Tribulation," the Sea Emperor explained.

"The power of tribulation?" Gu Ding looked at Elsa. He could clearly see that Elsa's aura was like that of a gigantic giant with bulging muscles, and above the giant's head, there was a thin layer of dark clouds, within which lightning flickered faintly. "Are you talking about that dark cloud above her head? I thought it was some kind of supernatural power she was cultivating."

Sea Emperor didn't say much. He knew that Gu Ding could clearly see the aura of everyone. What he detected was completely different from what Gu Ding saw. But in essence, it was the same thing, only its appearance was different in their eyes.

"We'll be able to leave the Reverse Dragon River Channel in about ten days. My Martial Dao Intent only broke through a little over ten days ago, and my Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body has also broken through in the past few days. It's unlikely that my strength will improve again in a short time. Let's go out and take a look first." Gu Ding said, standing up. He dusted off his clothes and walked out of Robert's domain.

In the living room, Fa Te was reclining on the sofa, munching on fruit while watching Interstellar Pirate story.

Gu Ding glanced at the book title on the projector: * Emperor Edward *. Gu Ding 'd read this book before. Edward was a pirate king from the Middle Ancient Era, nicknamed Whitebeard. For tens of thousands of years, he fought for humanity in the Great Universe Sea Universe Sea, conquering new territories. In his later years, however, his conquered territories were invaded by a combined force of insectoids and Abyss Demon Race. He single-handedly slaughtered hundreds of millions of invaders, but was ultimately betrayed by a human traitor and perished on the spot.

"How did you come up with the idea of reading this kind of book?" Gu Ding asked with a smile. People from other professions generally wouldn't bother reading books about Interstellar Pirate.

"I've been reading stories about Interstellar Pirate these past few days," Fa Te said, moving the projector aside to see that it was Gu Ding had emerged from seclusion. "I've also looked into your team's information a lot, and I think your lives are truly remarkable. Growing up, my parents weren't around, and I spent my days with books and various tutors, never having any friends."

"Don't you have to go to school?" Gu Ding asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I learned everything from private tutors at home; I've never been to school." Fa Te also envied those children who went to school. "At eleven, I completed all the Grandmaster Level courses in finance and management and became a visiting lecturer at the Federal Government's Financial University. At twelve, I officially entered the financial industry, and in four years, with 10,000 Originium as my initial capital, my bank savings have become astronomical. But after reading your stories as Interstellar Pirate, I suddenly feel that my life is too monotonous and boring."

"Stories about Interstellar Pirate aren't necessarily all true. Even if they are, they're often exaggerated when they're made into stories. Just treat them as fun stories, don't take them too seriously." As Interstellar Pirate himself, Gu Ding is the most qualified to speak on this, and there are many different versions of his own story.

"But after walking this path with you all, I feel that this kind of lifestyle is what I want." Fa Te said, looking up at Gu Ding. "Gu Ding, I want to join your Pirate Crew and become an Interstellar Pirate!"
