Chapter 2966: The Fleet
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Main control room of the ship.
"Mr. Fang, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
Zaka and Chen Yu had both been in good spirits lately. Upon seeing Fang Heng return, they immediately reported the latest progress of the ship.
"Currently, the resources of this world have already been mostly divided up. In addition, the flying squirrel tribe has been cooperating with us very smoothly and is also hoping to join our fleet."
As their strength gradually grew, the team encountered quite a few spawn alliances while gathering contributions and materials.
Many races were willing to join Fang Heng’s team to form an interstellar expedition fleet together.
The flying squirrel tribe was one of the more recent encounters.
During a mission, they witnessed Fang Heng’s mutant worm creatures modifying a ship and were instantly amazed. They immediately clung to him and, together with Fang Heng and the Federation, shared the world’s resources.
[Hint: The flying squirrel fleet (5) has temporarily joined the player’s interstellar fleet. The player’s current fleet count has increased to 125. The player’s fleet level has increased to Level 72.]
[Hint: The current overall strength of the Nether Sea fleet has entered the top 100 of the spawn alliance rankings. Current rank: 98.]
Li Zixuan nodded and said, "Recently, we partially deciphered a stone slab discovered in the Ancient Human World. From it, we found some descriptions. After translating, we discovered a species called ’God.’ This species may be the root cause of the crisis faced by the Titan race."
"From the descriptions, the power of the ’God’ is extremely strong. It seems the Titans might have offended them and were gradually forced into a desperate situation."
God...
Fang Heng murmured and furrowed his brows.
"This is all the information we currently have," Li Zixuan said with a nod. "We will continue to research and hope to find more valuable information."
Chen Yu picked up the conversation and said, "Mr. Fang, let’s put aside the ancient matters for now. There’s something we need to handle. We just received information from an alien species within the alliance."
"Oh? What did they say?"
"It’s a mission invitation, related to the Seed of Ouroboros. Some spawn alliance races are currently undertaking a mission to eliminate an SSS-level Seed of Ouroboros insect nest."
Fang Heng’s heart stirred.
An SSS-level insect nest!
The allied races weren’t weak.
Chen Yu continued, "The initiator of the mission is the Shadow Clan. From the provided information, the Shadow Clan has recruited many fleet forces and started the mission line to eliminate the SSS-rank insect nest twenty days ago."
"Perhaps our fleet entering the top 100 rankings caught their attention. The Shadow Clan sent us a mission invitation, asking us to join in clearing out the Seed of Ouroboros insect nest."
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
Recently, as the honor level of the spawns gradually increased, Fang Heng’s communication access within the spawn system also unlocked step by step.
He had browsed some public data in the spawn mainframe regarding the Seed of Ouroboros.
Any entity above a certain strength level was categorized as an SSS-level Disaster within the spawn system.
For example, the one in the Death Realm was considered an SSS-level entity within the spawn rating system.
"An SSS-level insect nest would have extremely high strength."
"Right. We also learned some additional details about the mission. To complete the mission, the Shadow Clan had preemptively invited many allied fleets and also redeemed a high-tier Star Eye from the spawn system, which the Iron-Eating Tribe is good at constructing."
"The current frontlines may still be short on manpower, and the Shadow Clan is continuing to recruit support."
I see...
Fang Heng expressed interest.
To the side, the captain of the flying squirrel tribe shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this, "Mr. Fang Heng, the Shadow Clan ranks among the top three in strength within the entire spawn alliance and possesses powerful modification fleets. However, they are known for their erratic temperaments and are difficult to cooperate with."
"You don’t recommend it?"
"Definitely not. We might suffer losses. But if we directly refuse them, it could offend the Shadow Clan, who may see it as a sign of disrespect and become hostile."
"Hmph!" Arkley snorted coldly, expressing disdain. "Getting mad over not being given face? They think too highly of themselves."
Fang Heng signaled Arkley to calm down.
He had only seen the Star Eye mentioned in the spawn descriptions—he couldn’t yet judge their actual power.
This could be a good opportunity to assess them.
And also, the Seed of Ouroboros.
The current Level13 Seed of Ouroboros had only three modification slots and couldn’t simultaneously load stealth, biological cannon, and division abilities.
An SSS-level insect nest would correspond to a much higher cocoon level.
It should be able to reach Level 15 by then and unlock a new modification slot.
With luck, he might even discover other better modification options.
Moreover, it was a good chance to observe the high-tier combat strength of the Spawn Alliance and make an evaluation.
Fang Heng nodded and said, "Send a response to the Shadow Clan. Tell them we’re very interested in the mission and will head over as soon as possible to assist in completing it."
"Huh?"
The flying squirrel tribe clearly looked uneasy.
"No rush. We’re just going over to take a look."
"...Alright." The flying squirrel tribe had previously suffered quite a loss at the hands of the Shadow Clan. After thinking for a bit, they nodded and said, "We’re willing to go with you, but if things go poorly, we will withdraw."
"Of course."
.....
V-0129 Interstellar World.
A ship base set up by the Western District Federation within the game.
Captain Gisele and a group of senior officials from various departments of the Federation gathered in the meeting room.
Something was strange.
Recently, within the spawn system, the overall contribution level of the human faction had been rising at an unusually fast pace.
In just two months, the entire alliance level had jumped by two full tiers!
This level-up speed made Captain Gisele feel very suspicious, so a few days ago, he attempted to contact the upper ranks of the spawn system to inquire.
The upper ranks of the spawn system had always shown a cold attitude toward humans.
It wasn’t until today that he finally received a reply.
The spawn executives explained that the system’s faction level rankings were calculated based on the performance of their entire planetary group.
What did that mean?
On this planet, aside from the Western District Federation, were there other federations cooperating with the spawns?
Captain Gisele suddenly had a bad feeling and recalled the giant ship he had seen while evacuating.
Could it be...
Fang Heng?
"No way, no way."
Gisele shook his head and dismissed the seemingly impossible answer.
Back then, the ship was just an empty shell. In two months, at most, it would’ve been completed—but capable of performing missions already?
Not to mention, leveling up two major stages required an astronomical amount of contribution points.
It couldn’t possibly be Fang Heng.
Could there be a system error?
The good news was that as their entire team tier increased, the faction could now exchange for higher-tier war machinery, and many high-tier missions that were previously unavailable were now accessible.
However, due to Fang Heng’s recent disappearance and the impact of the Emery incident, the Federation’s mission completion efficiency had once again slowed down.
