Chapter 29: Ordinary Transition Chapter

  ”Of course I’m serious.”

  Kolev smiled and said:

  ”Not only the ship, I will also equip you with an auxiliary driving system and a dozen high-end maintenance robots.

  ”This is a star exploration ship transformed from a decommissioned warship. When I got it, its main gun had been removed and only a few side guns were retained. So I simply strengthened its protective cover and endurance, and rebuilt it. Install expensive outer armor on it, and you can even use it to hit the spaceship Kimo is using ... Of course, the result will definitely be loss-lose.”

  Hamilton didn’t really care about what Kolev said next.

  Hamilton stared at the vise-shaped spacecraft, and was deeply attracted by its red and white outer armor color scheme.

  This is simply his dream ship!

  Why do you need a main gun?

  Even a million dollars can’t buy an aluminum alloy box that can jump!

  This thick-hulled ship even comes with several secondary guns.

  This was entirely because Kolev wanted to give him a gift, but he followed the old pirate’s principles and gave him a purchase limit of one million.

  In fact, in comparison, it is not troublesome to obtain one million federal credit coins; what is troublesome is the ship purchase channels, as well as subsequent maintenance and adaptive transformation.

  What’s more, there are auxiliary operating systems and ready-made supporting robots!

  As long as Hamilton finds a way to safely get the money out of the Hanton Empire account, the amount can be paid now!

  Of course, he would not dare to touch Hanton’s account, as that would bring Hanton, who died in the Cole Harbor Riots, back into the sight of the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency.

  ”Kolev,” Hamilton interrupted, “Hey, Kolev!”

  ”Say, what’s wrong?”

  ”The discounted part is too valuable. Kimo’s life is not worth the price,” Hamilton said calmly, “You don’t need to sell me, just treat me as renting your boat. When I complete my goal, I will return it to you.” Here you go, I’ll rent it for five years for one million, and this one also requires zero down payment and installment payments.”

  Kolev narrowed his eyes and smiled, and spoke in a warm voice:

  ”How can a captain recruit loyal crew members without his own ship?

  ”And one million federal dollars is not a small amount of money for young people.

  ”I originally thought that in the last few days of my life, I would drive it and jump to the edge of the Milky Way, take Mimili’s mother’s ashes with me, and sail together to the big galaxy next door for eternity...”

  Hamilton frowned slightly.

  He was certainly not coddling the kindness of an ‘old’ friend, nor did he doubt the truth of Kolev’s words.

  He just felt that this was a bit inappropriate.

  ”In addition to getting rid of Kimo, do you have any other requests?” Hamilton asked sincerely.

  ”Hahaha,” Kolev chuckled a few times, “Kolev will never make a loss-making business! You will know tomorrow. Let’s rest today and try to have some fun and relax.”

  tomorrow?

  Hamilton had a bad premonition for no reason.

  ...

  After resting for a whole day.

  Base conference room.

  boom!

  The butler robot in a tuxedo smashed a stack of thick paper books on the table in front of Hamilton.

  The corner of Hamilton’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the “General Manual for Spaceship Operations”, “The Principle of Jump”, “Maintenance and Maintenance of Engines”, “Terrible Celestial Objects in the Universe”, “How to Become a Qualified Personnel”, which were as thick as the Imperial Civil Code. “The Captain”, “Voyage”...

  Hamilton’s eyes were a bit blank as he asked: “I have to learn this in three months? Only three months? This is impossible Kolev!”

  Kolev smiled and said: “I have prepared enough refreshing aromatherapy for you, and your tutor Molly will help you sort out this information.”

  Next to the old man, the virtual secretary put on a dress, adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on her face, and continued in a cool electronic synthesized voice:

  ”Cadet Hanton, please accept this challenge.”

  Hamilton’s face fell into a bitter melon.

  He picked up a book, opened it, and looked at the densely packed galactic lingua franca above, feeling dizzy again.

  Mimili, who was sitting opposite, couldn’t help laughing.

  ”Mimili,” Kolev said with a smile, “you also sit over.”

  ”Me?” Mimili widened her jewel-like eyes, “Dad, are you serious?”

  ”Yes Mimili, I have to be strict with you,” Kolev said with a serious face. “As a reward for asking you to learn these basic knowledge, I have asked Hanton to provide you with combat training.”

  ”That sounds good,” Mimily smiled with satisfaction.

  She had obviously dressed up specially today. The pink long sleeves had the effect of ‘disappearing the lower body’, which made Hamilton feel that she was a little impolite after looking at her twice.

  Mimili pulled the seat to Hamilton’s side, right next to Hamilton’s seat, and then sat down like a lady, turning her head and winking at Hamilton.

  Hamilton sniffed the tip of his nose, the faint rose scent was a bit tempting.

  ”Hey!” Kolev leaned forward, “Stay apart, you two!”

  Mimili rolled her eyes and moved her butt to the side.

  ”Spread further!”

  ”Dad, you can’t limit where I sit.”

  ”As long as I’m still your father, you have to listen to me! Stay apart!”

  Half a minute later, Hamilton looked at Mimili who raised her hands to cover her eyes, and Kolev who sat between him and Mimili, and always had the urge to throw the old man out.

  Kolev smiled and said: “Okay Molly, switch to teacher mode and start your class.”

  ”Okay three masters, please look at the big screen. We will learn from basic theory. It will take about twelve class hours. In order to improve efficiency, please drink less water and reduce the frequency of going to the toilet.

  ”What a troublesome carbon-based life form.”

  ...

  Hamilton felt that he had lived a new life, tried hard to escape the Valkyrie’s butcher’s knife, regained his freedom in the prison of Cole Harbor, and successfully escaped under the gun barrel of the Flanker 3...

  I’m not here to take intensive classes!

  Going to class is really exhausting.

  Especially when he has a poisonous artificial intelligence as his teacher.

  However, if the ‘Captain’s Course’ that must be conducted every morning is excluded, Hamilton’s life is comfortable and enjoyable during the rest of the time.

  In the afternoon, there are usually combat training and tactical deductions, and Hamilton suddenly became Mimili’s tutor.

  Mimi Li is very talented in fighting. Hamilton feels that she is at least seven or eight times stronger than Hanton before the transformation.

  What Hamilton taught Mimili were the various fighting skills he learned while playing “Abyss”. If you round up, Mimili can be regarded as the disciple of the Minxport Warrior Guidance Mentor.
