Chapter 358: Oh, I Regret It

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Done!

In the last wave, Wang Ye had gained 63 million potential points.

He retrieved the Whitewheel Origin and pretended to be exhausted. His face was pale and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

In an instant, Xiaoyu’s gentle and warm ability landed on him. He felt as if ten thousand small fish were rubbing his body. It was extremely comfortable.

Ke Yuanqi was both annoyed and touched when she saw Wang Ye “go all out” and fight to the point of exhaustion.

“Who asked you to help me?!”

She could not bring herself to say this.

Ke Yuanqi returned to her original form. She pursed her lips for a long time before she asked with concern. “Are you alright?”

“I’m alright,” Wang Ye said weakly. “Seeing everyone fighting so fiercely, I was infected by the hot-blooded atmosphere and unknowingly joined the battle. Did it affect you, captain?”

What did he think?

Ke Yuanqi forced a smile. “Of course not. You did well!”

“Okay, I’ll work harder next time!” Wang Ye said seriously.

No! Need!

Go and do the guardian mission!

Ke Yuanqi was roaring in her heart, but on the surface, she maintained her smile. “Rest well.”

“Alright.” Wang Ye nodded. “We’ve surpassed the Red River Squad and jumped to fourth place, captain.”

“Really?” Ke Yuanqi was all smiles. She immediately opened the mission details and looked at it. She instantly beamed with joy and her small hands patted Wang Ye’s back. “Great! You’re awesome!”

As expected of someone with a childish temper, she was easy to coax.

Wang Ye laughed in his heart.

After this battle, his accumulated battle credits had reached 3.97 million, ranking first in the Azure Mountain Squad.

It surpassed the captain’s 3.81 million.

Wang Ye saw the captain’s expression from the corner of his eye and found that she looked a little unnatural.

Apparently, she had also seen the members’ rankings in the squad.

Although the squad was ranked fourth, her squad member’s contribution points were higher than hers. It was obviously a little embarrassing.

Especially since he was a new member.

However, Ke Yuanqi quickly recovered. When she thought about sending Wang Ye away, her face bloomed again.

Very soon, she would be in first place again!

The overtaking caused the Azure Mountain Squad to be in an extremely good mood. It was especially satisfying to kick the Red River Squad to seventh place and widen the gap with other competitors!

“Wang Ye, you such a lucky general. If it weren’t for the captain’s mistake of taking on an additional guardian mission, we would probably be in the top three now,” Lan Jian smiled and said.

Not far away, Ke Yuanqi pricked up her ears and pursed her lips.

“It’s because Captain also hopes that Sanqi and I can learn to be independent.” Wang Ye smiled.

In the entire squad, only Lan Jian could criticize the captain. After all, he was senior.

“That’s right, that’s right!” Ke Yuanqi echoed and smiled.

Although Wang Ye always stole her limelight, she was still quite satisfied with him. He was quite good in both strength and character.

“I guess so.” Lan Jian smiled noncommittally and said, “After you join the Silver Road Team, remember not to force yourself. When you should retreat, do so. Although it’s not good to say this, if you encounter a devil race’s troop that is too strong and you really aren’t a match for, don’t be hesitant to give up.”

“Yes, I understand.” Wang Ye’s heart warmed. Only a close companion would say such words.

“You are a smart person.” Lan Jian smiled and patted Wang Ye’s shoulder, revealing a warm smile.

Everything was said without words.

“Oh right, Brother Lan,” Wang Ye said. “I noticed something fishy just now.”

“Tell me.” Lan Jian nodded lightly.

“The devil race’s troop we encountered just now was relatively strong. It wasn’t a scouting troop.” Wang Ye said.

“I know.” Lan Jian nodded.

“The devil race’s battle troops are all here. The scouting troops might be at the front,” Wang Ye said.

“You mean that the current information is wrong?” Lan Jian was deep in thought.

“The information changes rapidly. It’s not that the information is wrong, but it changes too quickly. Perhaps the devil race discovered a natural wormhole that led straight to the base during the exchange of intelligence,” Wang Ye said. “As such, the situation naturally changed.”

This kind of situation was too common.

Searching for cosmic wormholes and natural wormholes was the responsibility of the scouting troops, to begin with. These could be obtained through analysis, calculation, information, deduction, and a little luck.

Luck was very important.

Perhaps the devil race was originally several hundred light years away from the Silver Road Team.

But coincidentally, they found a natural wormhole, which allowed them to surpass the Silver Road Team by hundreds of lightyears.

“So, what do you mean?” Lan Jian looked at Wang Ye.

“Don’t head back,” Wang Ye said. “Search for the devil race’s troops near this area. On the one hand, it’s a waste of time to turn back. We didn’t encounter any devil troops on the way. The area is very likely to be a void zone.”

A void zone was the zone between two wormholes. Since one could travel through a wormhole, they naturally wouldn’t choose to pass through that area.

“Are you saying that one end of the wormhole is nearby?” Lan Jian quickly understood.

“It’s possible. On the other hand,” Wang Ye said. “Since we’ve encountered devil race’s troops in this area, we might encounter them again. In addition, the other seven squads that are competing with us are currently some distance away from here. Therefore, we have no competitors in this area. Look at the probability. As long as the wormhole is nearby, there will be an endless stream of devil race’s troops. The efficiency will be much higher than returning.”

“Good idea,” Lan Jian said thoughtfully. Then, he turned to ask Ke Yuanqi, “What do you think, captain?”

“Huh?” Ke Yuanqi, who had been eavesdropping, was taken aback by the question. “I… I’m fine either way. I’m a very democratic captain. You can do whatever you want. I have no objections.”

“Why didn’t I see you being democratic when you accepted the mission previously…” Everyone thought to themselves.

But indeed, Wang Ye’s suggestion was better.

“Alright, we’ll do it your way. If we can really get something, you’ll have a share of the credit.”

“Alright.” Wang Ye smiled and didn’t decline.

Of course, he had to get a share. Who would complain about having too many battle credits?

“I’ll go cultivate for a while more.” After giving his advice, Wang Ye entered the cultivation room.

Looking at his back, Ke Yuanqi could not help but sigh.

She seemed to have… made a stupid decision. She shouldn’t have accepted the guardian mission back then.

With Wang Ye carrying out the fight devil mission together, maybe they could get first place in the competition between the eight squads?

Although this guy was a rookie, he was brave and resourceful. Unlike the other two brainless fellows, he was a useful talent!

Hmm… She regretted it.

Ke Yuanqi held her chin and curled her lips.

Meet up with the Silver Road Team’s Azure Mountain Squad.

The two starships met.

“Two newbies at the Dark Energy level?” Chu Leqin, the captain of the Silver Road Team’s Azure Mountain Squad, was stunned.

“Don’t worry, he’s very strong!” Ke Yuanqi patted her chest.

Behind her, Lan Jian avoided the other party’s gaze, feeling a little embarrassed. When they accepted the mission, he knew that this would happen sooner or later.

Who could accept this?!

Never mind that their squad was ranked last, but they even took advantage and only sent two members to carry out the mission…

What was even more ridiculous was that the two members were two rookies at the Dark Energy level.

Although Wang Ye was indeed very strong, the other party didn’t know that!

The Taiwu Squad, Ji Yanan Squad, and Heidun Squad would have no problem doing such a thing. After all, they were strong, and there were many experts in their squads.

But to be honest, it was a little too much for their squad to do this.

If it wasn’t for Captain Chu’s good temper and that the two were old acquaintances, she would probably have fallen out with Captain Ke.

“… Alright then.” Chu Leqin was speechless.

She glanced at Wang Ye and Yan Sanqi, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, the exploration of the Kuigu Galaxy was not difficult.

They were now far ahead of the devil race’s progress, so the possibility of encountering devils was not high.

Even if they did, it would only be a collision between the scouting troops.

Different from the Silver Warband, the Silver Road Team’s Azure Mountain Squad was quite strong.

Including the newly arrived Ju Bairuo, there were a total of nine members. It was twice as much as the Silver Warband.

She would just treat it as helping a good friend.

Chu Yueqin also knew Ke Yuanqi’s current predicament. The latter urgently needed to complete the mission and increase her ranking.

“You won’t be willing to give him back to me. This is a lucky general. He will ensure your safety.” Ke Yuanqi was full of confidence.

“A lucky general? Did he have the talent to ward off devils?” Chu Leqin smiled bitterly in her heart.

Having such a good friend, she had no choice.

The two captains had a “friendly” conversation.

On the other side, Yan Sanqi raised her chin and glared at Ju Bairuo, who was pretending to communicate with his squadmates and avoiding her gaze.

Wang Ye chuckled as he watched the show.

Xiao Bai, oh Xiao Bai, he had such a day too. He might be able to escape temporarily, but he couldn’t escape forever.

The guardian mission was going to take a long time. Let’s see how he was going to avoid Sanqi.

“Nine members, seven Dark Energy level, two Super Star level, and a total of three including the captain.” Wang Ye’s gaze swept across the squad and quickly checked the strength of the Silver Road Team.

It was alright.

He had just looked at the overall ranking. They were currently ranked 16th in the Silver Road Team, which was average.

It was much better than their squad.

It was mainly because they had a good captain.

Wang Ye glanced at Chu Leqin. She was a gentle and elegant woman. She was polite, had a good temper, and had self-restraint. One look and one could tell that she was from a prestigious family.

If it was someone else, they would have fallen out with Ke Yuanqi long ago.

Her ability was definitely not a problem.

To be able to lead the Azure Mountain Squad, which wasn’t considered strong in the Taishi Starfield, to the middle reaches, showed her ability.

However, no matter how powerful the Silver Road Team was, their battle prowess was definitely inferior to the Silver Warband.

Even if it was their squad that was ranked fourth from the bottom.

Captain Ke alone could wipe out an entire Silver Road Team.

“There’s danger. It’s even very dangerous.” After experiencing the battle just now, Wang Ye was well aware.

There was a lack of information at the moment. The devil race might have found a new wormhole.

Even if the devil vanguard had not surpassed the Silver Road Team, they would not be too far away.

The two sides would clash sooner or later.

This time, there was no iron triangle in front of him. He was alone. He had to increase his strength as soon as possible and take charge of the situation!

This was the captain’s request.

It might seem difficult, but this was also the goal of his mission.

First, he had to gain a firm foothold in the Silver Warband, and this guardian mission was a great opportunity!

“The Silver Road Team’s Red River Squad isn’t too shabby either.” Wang Ye looked at the rankings.

The Silver Road Team’s Red River Squad was one rank ahead of the Azure Mountain Squad.

He clicked on the details and quickly scanned through them. The configuration was similar, but the number of members was a few more.

Suddenly, Wang Ye was stunned.

In the list of members of the Red River Squad, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar name.

Yao!
