From star gatherer to leader of humanity

At the spaceport, Xu Bai saw the magical spaceship he had ordered inside the port.

Compared to the previous 32-meter-long Hummingbird-class vessel, this behemoth, measuring 69 meters in length, 19 meters in width, and 12 meters in height, represents a complete transformation.

The ship's hull is cast from a combination of Star Marrow Black Iron and Spirit Gold alloy. It is dark black in color, with strong and rugged lines and sharp angles. There are no superfluous decorations. Every fold line is full of a wild and powerful feeling, like a giant star beast carved directly from the depths of the Shattered Star Sea. It is silent but extremely oppressive.

"Rainstorm Type III twin-barreled heavy machine guns, Velociraptor F-class engine, Wing Loong F-class power unit, third-generation intelligent optical computer..."

The supervisor in charge here explained the configuration of this magical artifact spaceship to Xu Bai.

"The ship's capacity has been upgraded to 10,000 tons, and with thirty Earth Dragon Type III mining engineering robots, you will surely reap a harvest of millions of strands of spiritual energy once you return fully loaded."

After listening to his supervisor, Xu Bai looked at the Storm III twin heavy machine gun on the top of the spaceship.

"With the Rainstorm Type III twin-barreled heavy machine gun, combined with the Blazing Flame Spirit Bullet, the Golden Talisman Armor-Piercing Bullet, and the Heavy Mystic Spirit Bullet, it can easily snipe Golden Core stage beasts, and even buy time to escape when encountering Nascent Soul stage beasts."

The supervisor noticed Xu Bai's gaze and emphasized the introduction.

"Good, I'll take this spaceship."

Subsequently, under the supervisor's guidance, Xu Bai gained full access to the magical spaceship.

"Replenish my energy, ammunition, and nutrient tanks," Xu Bai said, glancing at the spaceship's status on his personal terminal.

"Five hundred thousand strands of spiritual energy." The manager rubbed his hands together and smiled slightly.

The price made Xu Bai freeze for a moment, but he sighed when he saw the supply list.

"500,000 it is."

Xu Bai lightly tapped the list screen in the void, and the balance instantly decreased by 50 strands of spiritual energy.

Several large, specialized supply vehicles began resupplying Xu Bai's spaceship.

During this time, Xu Bai returned to his Hummingbird-class spaceship and transferred Hakimi's intelligent data to the new magical spaceship.

"Master, the new home is so spacious and bright!" Hakimi's cheerful voice rang out inside the spaceship.

"Then let me show you around the spaceship~"

Xu Bai gently patted the hatch of the magic weapon spaceship with one arm, and two beams of green spiritual light quietly covered the entire spaceship.

After the magic weapon mining spaceship had completely absorbed the two beams of attribute light, the attribute panel of the magic weapon mining spaceship appeared in front of Xu Bai's eyes.

Small Magical Mining Ship - Attributes: Luck Roulette [Can be spun once daily to determine the ship operator's luck], Five Elements Spiritual Shield [Absorbs five elements spiritual energy and spiritual ore, automatically forming a Five Elements Spiritual Shield to protect the ship.]

Looking at these two attributes, Xu Bai couldn't say they were good, but they weren't bad either.

"It's a pity that it doesn't have the attribute of greatly amplifying spirit."

Xu Bai gently patted the spaceship's hatch, and the hatch to the main control room opened.

Compared to before, it's no exaggeration to say that the control room has undergone a complete transformation.

The entire control room is semi-circular, with an area of ​​at least 20 square meters. There is also a dedicated rest room behind the control room.

Xu Bai sat in the spacious control seat, looking at the virtual data screen and the joysticks on both sides of the spaceship. The layout was the same as the previous Hummingbird-class mining spaceship, only more luxurious and more comfortable to operate.

"Hakimi~"

"Present! Ready to serve my master!"

"Set sail for the spaceship's first mining expedition!"

Xu Bai gently turned the joystick, and the enormous 60-meter-long object took off with an extremely light motion, flying towards the distant Shattered Star Sea.

"May your journey be filled with boundless possibilities and a bountiful harvest!"

As the spaceship was about to enter the Shattered Star Sea, a broadcast message, different from the one from the previous space city, rang out.

The magical artifact mining spaceship smoothly entered the Shattered Star Sea.

Looking at the familiar broken celestial bodies floating around him, Xu Bai felt like he was back home.

At this moment, Xu Bai brought up the attribute panel of the magic weapon spaceship.

First, the Five Elements Spiritual Shield attribute was activated. The moment it was activated, Xu Bai clearly felt the entire spaceship autonomously absorbing spiritual energy.

Then, Xu Bai clicked on the lucky wheel.

"Good fortune shines upon you, great luck is upon you, everything goes smoothly, luck is average, misfortunes never come singly, bad luck is upon you, and you are extremely unlucky."

The seven luck attributes are divided into seven equal parts on the roulette wheel.

"This is interesting."

Xu Bai touched the luck wheel with his mind, and the entire wheel began to spin rapidly, with a red pointer appearing at the top.

The spinning wheel slowed down, and the last "Smooth Sailing" luck attribute option stopped on the transparent pointer.

"It's alright, but I don't know how effective it will be compared to Little Lucky."

The magical mining spaceship shuttled between the gaps in the broken celestial bodies, and the prospecting waves it generated could scan the surrounding area for three thousand miles.

Inside the control room, Xu Bai piloted the spaceship, reminiscing about the five-fold increase in mental amplification he had experienced on the previous mining spaceship.

With his mental strength increased fivefold, Xu Bai experienced improvements in every aspect of his life.

Both the speed of cultivation and the speed of controlling the spaceship have been qualitatively improved.

"I'll add attributes to this spaceship when I get lucky."

As Xu Bai pondered, a beam of earthy yellow spiritual light suddenly transformed into a spiritual shield on the side of the magical artifact spaceship.

"Bang!!"

A huge wave suddenly spread out, and a semi-transparent tentacle slowly retracted.

When Xu Bai saw the tentacle, it had already shrunk inside a broken celestial body.

Xu Bai was already used to the spaceship being ambushed halfway through its journey; he simply noted down the coordinates.

Half a day later, in a Shattered Star Sea far enough away from Shattered Star City, Xu Bai detected a broken celestial body containing Xuan Blood Crystal Stones.

"1300 tons of reserves, 500 strands of spiritual energy per ton, not bad!"

The magical mining spaceship slowly landed on the shattered celestial body, opened the doors on both sides, and released the earth dragon-shaped mining engineering robot.

Seeing that the mining efficiency was more than ten times that of before, Xu Bai felt that buying this magical mining spaceship was worthwhile.

"More than 1000 tons, in two days. Take advantage of this time to cultivate diligently."

Although there is a dedicated rest room, Xu Bai still prefers to cultivate in the main control room.

Holding a dozen or so small spirit beads in his hand, Xu Bai began to circulate the "Spiritual Qi Technique".

The small spirit pearl transformed into pure spiritual energy in Xu Bai's hand, flowing into his body, circulating through his meridians, and finally returning to his dantian.

After eight hours of cultivation, Xu Bai's dantian expanded by eight strands of spiritual energy.

After finishing his cultivation, Xu Bai relieved the soreness in his meridians and then used the Spirit Gathering Technique to begin condensing a small spirit orb.

As Xu Bai became more familiar with the Spirit Gathering Technique, the spiritual energy content of the small spirit pearl he condensed began to increase, and it has now reached 150 strands of spiritual energy.

After another small, crystal-clear spirit bead containing 150 strands of spiritual energy was condensed, Xu Bai was about to continue when he suddenly remembered the attributes in the jade slip containing the Spirit Gathering Technique.

Xu Bai took out a jade slip containing the Spirit Gathering Technique from his storage bag and placed it between his eyebrows.

Looking at the flow of Qi in the meridians and the hand seals of the Spirit Gathering Technique, a new idea suddenly popped into Xu Bai's mind.
