Internet Cafe

After rebirth, Wang Dong also faced the War Axe's energy crisis.

The War Axe's current energy reserves are 2072 units.

Each standard energy block has an energy reserve of 1 unit.

This reserve is still decreasing at a rate of over thirty units per day.

This means that without timely replenishment, the War Axe will run out of all energy in less than seventy days at the latest.

A Kindling Warship that has run out of energy and lost its mobility and stealth capabilities is like a large piece of fatty meat lying there.

At that time, Wang Dong would very likely lose it completely.

Unlike before his rebirth, Wang Dong appeared quite calm at this moment, without any trace of anxiety.

A small trick.

In the absence of standard energy blocks, energy crystals, as pure high-energy substance aggregates, can also serve as emergency energy for a Kindling Warship.

The drawback is that the cost is a bit high, and it might cause damage to the engine afterward.

--The Self-Cultivation of a Seasoned Interstellar Mercenary.

Wang Dong currently possesses three units of low-grade energy crystals, which, if used in an emergency, can provide the War Axe with three thousand units of energy reserves.

This is enough to alleviate the War Axe's energy crisis to a certain extent.

Therefore, Wang Dong had no need to take any unnecessary actions or take any unnecessary risks.

Another risk point, eliminated.

Putting down the empty food tray, to be honest, the nutritional meal didn't taste very good.

He took a casual shower, changed into casual clothes, and went out to take the maglev bus to Meizu Internet Cafe from the nearby bus stop.

The weather today wasn't great, so walking wasn't a good idea.

After a thirty-five-minute journey, he arrived at Meizu Internet Cafe, located in the central commercial district.

An eighteen-story duplex building, rare in residential areas, with its own parking lot, a dedicated central kitchen occupying an entire floor, and a rooftop lounge bar.

Most importantly, there were as many as 160 "Star Domain Instant Communication Platform" access pods.

"What a rich capitalist vibe."

Wang Dong stood at the entrance and chuckled to himself.

"It's more like a rich perfume vibe."

A passerby next to him, withdrawing his gaze from the row of uniformed young ladies standing by the internet cafe entrance, replied naturally.

Wang Dong chuckled speechlessly.

He nodded at the friendly stranger and walked through the entrance of Meizu Internet Cafe.

A beautiful customer service lady in a black and white uniform quickly approached him: "Hello sir, may I offer you a recommendation?"

"No need, please just open a standard booth."

Wang Dong took out a black card and handed it to the customer service lady.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll swipe your membership card."

The customer service lady smiled, took Wang Dong's membership card, and swiped it twice on her portable terminal on her wrist.

"Alright, sir, please proceed to access pod number 412 on the fourth floor. Meizu Internet Cafe wishes you a pleasant gaming experience."

"Thank you."

In the first-floor lobby, there were many advertisements for virtual games.

"Star Sea Expedition, Thousand Ship Battle Mode is now online."

Wang Dong chuckled, a nostalgic smile appearing on his face.

It was that holographic interstellar battlefield strategy game that Wang Dong had mentioned to Yuan Shu when he was on the War Axe.

Players take on the role of a warship captain, commanding their own warship to engage in battles with others.

According to Wang Dong's normal habits, he would visit the internet cafe two to three times a month.

Each time he visited, he would spend over ninety percent of his time in Star Sea Expedition.

To avoid appearing abnormal, Wang Dong followed his usual routine and came to Meizu Internet Cafe.

He lay down in the three-meter-long, one-and-a-half-meter-wide black access pod, pressed the start button on his right, the cabin cover sealed, and a soft female voice sounded in his ear.

"Do you wish to connect to the Star Domain Network?"

"Connect."

"Connection confirmed. Amethyst Kingdom Telecom is at your service."

Opening his eyes again, Wang Dong found himself in outer space. Stars twinkled all around, and a massive star in the zenith direction emitted light and heat. It was the star of the mining sector galaxy.

What was the name of the star in the mining sector galaxy?

Wang Dong forgot.

Was it the KQH-1?

A nobody, who would care.

Just like Wang Dong before his rebirth, and Wang Dong now.

"Log into Star Sea Expedition."

With a command, Wang Dong's perspective immediately shifted, the starlight around him gradually dimming.

In its place, a colossal steel beast rapidly grew larger from the distance of his vision, finally stopping before Wang Dong.

At the bow, a crudely styled kinetic energy cannon pointed towards the distance.

Along the hull, a total of four smaller secondary cannons, supported by hemispherical mobile turrets, moved nimbly along the outer wall tracks on the ship's sides.

At the stern, the light blue engine exhaust was gradually fading. Immediately, a tractor beam shot out from the side of the ship's belly, enveloping Wang Dong.

The next moment, Wang Dong was already inside the Warship's command center.

Familiar with the procedure, he boarded the Captain's seat located in the center of the command center. Two safety belts popped out from behind the seat, crossing to secure Wang Dong.

On the virtual screen above the command center, a green indicator light representing the Captain's readiness lit up, and the ship's onboard AI's standard male baritone voice sounded.
