Chapter 4 - Charles’ Plan

"Add Ice!"

As Grimm gave the order, 100 ice cubes were added to the nutritious purification water generator.

The next moment, a notification appeared.

[ Do you want to start purification now? How much is the purification amount? ]

"Start purification, purify one portion first!"

As Grimm gave the order, the machine began to work. After consuming 20 basic energy points, he got one portion of nutrient purified water in five minutes.

He picked up the glass cup that the machine came with and took a sip. He felt that the nutrient purified water was very sweet and much better than he had imagined.

"In that case... the rest of the ordinary purified water can be sold!"

Grimm discovered that there was still no ordinary alloy in the shattered meteorite fragments. He might as well sell the remaining 76 bottles of purified water and use them to gain ordinary alloy.

Then, he would expand his spaceship.

[ Pure water x 1 trading common alloy x 10]

Grimm copied the same content dozens of times in one go. He opened the communication channel and sent a message.

[ There are 76 bottles of pure water on the trading channel. First come, first served! ]

The players were stunned when they saw the message!

[Who is this god? There's so much pure water! ]

"Hurry up and buy it, I'm dying of thirst!"

"This is f*cking... still so expensive?"

"What the F*ck? You need 10 ordinary alloys to trade for a portion of pure water, isn't this a scam?"

"You have so much pure water, can't it be cheaper?"

Grimm did not pay attention to these people. Anyway, there were so many players, someone was willing to pay 10 ordinary alloys to trade for pure water.

After all, it was better to suffer a loss than die of thirst!

Sure enough, Grimm received a series of trade notifications.

[ Trade successful, obtained: Ordinary alloy x10! ]

In less than 10 minutes, all the pure water was sold out.

Haggling at this time?

This was not a vegetable market. It was already good enough to have some water to survive!

In this kind of environment, Grimm had to be a profiteer. His only goal was to develop as fast as possible and obtain a greater chance of survival.

Those noisy players who thought it was too expensive were either just saying so or did not understand the current dangerous situation at all!

In a spaceship, a young man with a beard was staring at the message in the communication channel.

"Grimm, this guy is very fat!"

Charles touched his beard and sneered secretly.

"He exposed his wealth so quickly. It seems that he is my first target!"

He obtained a special item in a cosmic treasure chest that could lock onto any player he wanted.

[ ID Locator ]

[ Description: Can locate a player's position. can only be used once a day! ]

Charles entered Grimm's name into the locator. The ID locator quickly determined the other party's position.

According to the Locator's display, Grimm's position was not far from him. He only needed about three days to fly to his position.

"I will become the first space pirate in this world!"

"Move in the direction of the target!"

Charles gave the order. His spaceship adjusted its direction and the propeller spewed out white flames.

"Let's wait and see!"

Grimm was about to use the ordinary alloy that he had just obtained to expand the spaceship when he received a system notification.

[Warning: Your ID has been locked by a special item. There may be an unknown danger! ]

"What?"

"Special item?"

Obviously, this so-called special item should be some kind of item in the game, so the one who used it should be a certain player.

"I'm being targeted?"

Grimm was not nervous at all. On the contrary, he smiled.

He looked at the high-energy pulse heavy cannon at the front of the spaceship. He thought that if the players wanted to look for trouble, then they could come all they want. He did not believe that the other party had a more powerful combat weapon than himself.

What a joke! His high-energy heavy pulse cannon was the product of the system's 100-fold enhancement!

Even players who developed quite well could only be considered trash in front of this heavy cannon!

"I'll just want and see who is going to cause trouble?"

Grimm smiled slightly and opened the technological construction interface. He was ready to use the common alloy to expand the size of the spaceship.

[ Alloy spaceship building materials: 5 basic energy points, common alloy x10]

Since the materials and energy were sufficient, Grimm was ready to build.

In the next moment, a notification appeared.

[ The main body of the spaceship has been upgraded. The current level is level 0. To upgrade to the next level, 10 basic energy points are required. Any building materials x10! ]

"So that's how it is!"

Grimm originally thought that he needed to expand the spaceship bit by bit. However, It turned out that as long as he made the corresponding materials, the spaceship could automatically upgrade!

He did not hesitate and selected to create the alloy spaceship building materials.

After a moment, boxes of thick and heavy metal boards appeared in front of Grimm.

As expected, the system notifications kept popping up.

[ Ding! The 100-fold increase has taken effect! ]

[ Ding! Alloy spaceship building materials have received 100-fold increase. Dense alloy strengthening building materials have been obtained! ]

In the blink of an eye, 10 sets of alloy spaceship building materials had become dense alloy strengthening building materials.

[ Dense alloy reinforced building materials ]

[ Description: Tt has a higher resistance. Ordinary weapons cannot penetrate it! ]

"It's an invincible existence!"

[ The main body of the spaceship has adequate building materials. Do you want to upgrade? ]

"Upgrade!"

As Grimm gave the order, the 10 boxes of dense alloy reinforced building materials instantly disappeared. At the same time, the structure of the entire spaceship had changed. The space inside the spaceship had doubled.

Ten minutes later, the upgrade was completed.

Grimm stood inside the more spacious spaceship and looked outside. The surface of the shuttle-shaped spaceship had become thicker and heavier, and its defensive power had been strengthened visibly!

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Grimm looked at his remaining energy.

[ Basic energy: 205 points! ]

Grimm decided not to use these 205 points of energy for the time being. The reason was very simple. Before the next day's energy was produced, he had to reserve a part of the energy for backup.

This way, if he encountered any unexpected situations, he could at least activate a high-energy pulse heavy cannon.

Grimm laid down on the deck of the spaceship's cabin and prepared to rest for a while. He also wanted to check if there was any useful information in the communication channel.

[ There are too little resources in the universe! ]

[ Food, who has food, I'll trade with him! ]

[ My energy is exhausted... I can only wait for death. ]

Grimm shook his head. It seemed that there were too many people who could not adapt to the cruel living environment here.

Suddenly, a message caught his attention.

[ I saw a meteorite! ]

[ No! That should be called a f*cking planet! ]

[ F*ck? A mine! There's a mine here! ]

Grimm suddenly became interested and was about to continue looking when he suddenly heard a system notification.

[ Notification: Unknown planet nearby. Do you wish to approach? ]

Hearing this voice, Grimm immediately stood up. Through the window, he indeed saw a dim dot of light in the distance.

"It's there, right? Approach immediately!"

Following Grimm's order, the spaceship's engine spewed out streaks of white flames.
