Space Survival: My Teammates Are All Top-Tier

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi paused for a moment. He didn't answer the question, but instead patted Guo Wanxing's shoulder:

"Don't think too much about it yet. Upgrade your cabin to level three, one step at a time."

Guo Wanxing sighed, knowing he was right.

Bring up the control panel and click the upgrade button.

As soon as the command was issued, the interior of compartment six began to change.

A few seconds later, she received a message that the upgrade was complete and the module had officially entered level three.

Just then, the voice that had brought them here rang in everyone's ears:

"Not bad, not bad, everyone has done a pretty good job over these three days. A basic sense of teamwork is starting to take shape..."

Jiang Shi and Guo Wanxing looked at each other.

The sound did not stop:

"Announcement of improved new rules."

[1. The overall space station and individual spacecraft modules can separate and operate independently, but the limitation is that the level of each individual spacecraft cannot exceed two levels of the overall space station. To continue upgrading, the level of the overall space station must be increased.]

[2. If there are fewer people in the team, it will not affect the subsequent upgrades of the space station, but the space station's maximum score will decrease. The maximum score is 10. For each person missing, the space station's maximum score will decrease by one point. The more people are missing, the lower the maximum score will be, and the lower the maximum score that can be achieved.]

[3. From now on, meteorites can only be converted into a small amount of energy, basic mineral resources, and a chance-based treasure chest. If you want food, water, or more, you'll have to explore planets and the universe yourself.]

[4. Once midnight strikes, you will be attacked by the first wave of space creatures. Don't worry, to prevent too many people from dying at once, I will micro-manage a few times and show off a few super minions to let you practice. If you can't beat them, then you deserve to die.]

This is a one-time micro-management opportunity; whatever happens afterward is entirely up to you.

[5. The chat group is too noisy and contains a lot of useless information. It has been changed to a posting function and a reward mechanism has been added. Whoever's post is useful to all survivors and is rated as an excellent post will receive a small reward.]

Note: Anyone caught manipulating data, engaging in underhanded tactics, or taking shortcuts will be held responsible for the consequences. If one person makes a mistake, the entire team will be plunged into a black hole, the mastermind's soul will be extracted, and their corpse will be whipped for 4.9 billion years, condemned to eternal damnation. Their body will be turned into a human stick and hung above the heads of every team member.

[6. Immediately after midnight, individual and team leaderboards will be released. Players can choose to hide their rankings. Rewards will be awarded based on rankings, and both individual and team rankings can be combined. Rankings will be updated continuously, and rewards will be distributed periodically based on rankings.]

[7. Everything will be implemented at midnight. This concludes the announcement. Goodbye, everyone...]

"Wanxing, now you know why!" Jiang Shi grinned as he looked at Guo Wanxing's face.

Guo Wanxing glared at him and said irritably:

"Laugh? You still have the nerve to laugh?"

"Oh dear, am I supposed to cry now?"

Jiang Shi shrugged.

"The so-called 'finding joy in hardship' means that finding joy amidst suffering is already difficult enough, so why should we make ourselves miserable?"

Looking at Guo Wanxing's tightly pursed lips and furrowed brows, he knew that he wasn't blindly optimistic, but rather understood that panic and complaining wouldn't solve anything.

"Um……"

Guo Wanxing felt slightly relieved after hearing his words, but she was still sharp-tongued.

"I didn't realize you had such a broad perspective... but!"

"...I just can't stand your gloating look."

"Jiang Shi, watch out for the fight."

Guo Wanxing stepped forward, raised his hand, and made a gesture as if to hit...

Jiang Shi reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist as she swung it.

He pulled her closer with a slight effort, and teased her in a low voice:

"Wanxing, don't do this, or you'll say I'm bullying you again."

"I...you, Jiang Shi, you're a complete scoundrel!"

Guo Wanxing suddenly blushed as if she had thought of something. She tried to pull her hand away but couldn't, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"hey-hey,"

Jiang Shi, taking advantage of the situation, wrapped his arm around her waist, his lips twitching as he slowly spoke, "Wanxing, I'm only mean to you..."

After being touched like that, Guo Wanxing felt a tingling sensation all over her body as she looked at Jiang Shi, who was so close to her.

The atmosphere heated up, breathing became erratic, and long eyelashes trembled slightly as they closed, seemingly waiting for something.

Jiang Shi looked at her shy yet expectant expression and made no further move.

"Wanxing, let's go outside, I'll take you to kill the bugs!"

"..." Guo Wanxing opened her eyes, stunned, ashamed, and filled with disappointment. Jiang Shi had ruined the atmosphere... Wait, why is my mind always thinking about that kind of thing...?

Her cheeks flushed red, and she puffed out her cheeks in anger. "Jiang Shi! You, you flirted with me?"

She felt like she'd been acting like a fool, completely bewitched...

"No!"

Jiang Shi took her hand and pulled out a laser pistol.

"I'm serious. Here, take this laser pistol and this level-three mech spacesuit. Don't you want to try them out?"

"I'll hammer you..."

Guo Wanxing was both ashamed and angry. She clenched her small fist and punched Jiang Shi in the chest.

She pouted and took the laser pistol that Jiang Shi handed her.

Jiang Shi was amused by her reaction and chuckled. He subconsciously reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Wanxing, you're so cute. Come on, I'll take you to fight monsters and level up. Stick close to me."

"Xiao Ai! Bring all the drones!"

"Received!" Xiao Ai replied.

Guo Wanxing also called out softly, "Alan, you also control the drone and work with Xiao Ai."

"Understood, Master."

The two nodded to each other, then simultaneously activated their thrusters and jumped out of the space station's outer hatch.

Upon arrival, they discovered a large number of void black worms gathering in the asteroid belt.

Among them, about 100 meters ahead, in the shadow of a large meteorite, there were seven or eight ordinary void black worms gathered.

"Evening Star, looks like we're in for a tough fight tonight. Luckily, there are a few ahead to practice on!"

"Let it go."

Guo Wanxing was not intimidated; instead, her fighting spirit was ignited. She did not want to completely depend on Jiang Shi and become his vassal, but rather wanted to become someone who could fight alongside him and stay by his side.

To become that kind of person, you must grow, and growth requires facing challenges and experiencing trials...

Jiang Shi nodded, gripping the 30-meter telescopic laser greatsword in his right hand.

"Evening Star, Xiao Ai and the others will provide backup!"

"I'll go left, you go right, crossfire, don't let them converge..."

"clear."

Guo Wanxing took a deep breath, aimed the gun at the Void Black Worm, and placed his finger on the trigger guard.

"action!"

Jiang Shi's thrusters suddenly ignited, propelling him rapidly to the left front!

At the same time, he swung his light blade and unleashed a flurry of sword strikes, targeting the three black insects on the outermost edge.

The two black insects couldn't react in time. The light blade swept across, melting through their carapaces, and they died halfway through.

The third one retreated hastily, and Kankan managed to dodge it.

But a fraction of a second later, a laser beam shot head-on, piercing through his forehead.

"pretty!"

Jiang Shi praised it.

Good news! The terrifying radar sound waves emitted by those few Void Black Worms before they died startled the scattered Void Black Worms around them.

It immediately became agitated, emitting waves of the same frequency. As it turned towards the river, it opened its mouthparts, poised to pounce.

"Here it comes, Wanxing, are you scared?"

"With you here, I'm not afraid..."

As he spoke, Guo Wanxing moved the muzzle of his gun and aimed again at a void black worm that was lunging at him.

Pulling the trigger repeatedly, two red beams of light shot out in succession.

Both shots were fired into the insect's mouth the instant it opened its mouth and hissed.

The black worms retreated, their offensive crumbled, and they died after struggling in agony.

Jiang Shi seized the opportunity and made a quick advance. In less than a minute of fighting, the first seven or eight Void Black Insects he discovered were turned into floating corpses in space.

But this was only the beginning. Seeing the swarming black void insects, Jiang Shi retreated behind Guo Wanxing.

Xiao Ai and Alan dared not be careless, each controlling four drones scattered in all directions, forming a simple defensive formation.

"Let's begin..."
