American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 111 Pandora

After clearing out the last remaining mercenary who put up a stubborn resistance in the equipment room, Li Buying returned to the main control room, where the logistics personnel were huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

There was a pool of blood, a human corpse, and a dead facehugger on the ground. Clearly, something had come in through the pipes and grabbed the support staff.

Since none of the support staff had much guts, Ai Yi eventually had to temporarily suspend control and deal with the facehugger.

"Master, I suggest you clean it with a gravity shield."

"Okay, I understand. By the way, do we still need them?"

Li Buying glanced at the logistics personnel. If he didn't need them to operate the ship, he planned to send them to sweep the floor or lock them up directly.

"To pilot a spaceship, you definitely need to—"

The logistics personnel were immediately startled and raised their hands to indicate their value, but Ai Yi coldly said:

"No need. There are many maintenance robots [Marvin Mechanical Assistants] inside the ship, which can help me handle everything."

"Then let's lock them up for now. By the way, are there any other prisoners in the cell block?" "Yes, some are captives, and some are captured prey."

Li Buying nodded and casually said that the logistics staff breathed a sigh of relief and left the room under the guidance of the mechanical assistant controlled by Ai Yi.

Once he and Ai Yi were the only ones left in the main control room, he lifted the Gravity Ring, closed his eyes, and used his gravity perception to scan the entire spaceship. With a slight thought, he crushed all the alien eggs and aliens to death.

Li Buying collected blood and corpses from various places, including the ground, cabins, and pipes, and crumpled them into a ball. Ai Yi saw this and opened the transition hatch for the spaceship to go to space at the right time. Finally, she opened the outer hatch and threw the bloodstains out.

The robots inside the storage room all lit up and began to operate. With the help of the spaceship's large processor, Ai began to maintain the operation of the entire spaceship on its own, and dispatched mechanical assistants to pick up tools to repair the remaining parts.

Li Buying stayed by Ai Yi's side, looking up at the Titan in front of them. According to Ai Yi, this machine was a "powerful type" that could lock onto a target and release tracking missiles every three bullets fired.

"Aiyi, how's the technology on this ship? Can my equipment be upgraded again?"

"Of course you can, but only a portion of it will be useful to you. You can't use Gravity Control in [Weaver] state, but you can upgrade the Aerial Bounce Device, Force Field Shield, and Quick Invisibility Device."

"Also, you can equip your hoodie with some easily portable gear that will be more lethal than your spider silk."

It seems I need to gradually incorporate the mechanical features of the Dutch spider into my design.

Li Buying took off his equipment and handed it to the waiting mechanical assistant. He then put on ordinary clothes. Ai Yi had already fully explored the database and began to tell him about the original target of this top hunter.

Kate belongs to the "Top Hunters" team, which can be considered one of the weaker teams in the company. She is unknown in the organization, but due to her seniority, she was able to use her savings to buy her own spaceship and break away from the main fleet to work independently.

The advantage of this is that as long as you pay "protection fees" to the main team each Earth year, you can continue to act with the title of top hunter, and the commissions earned from missions do not have to be handed over in full, but are distributed according to work done.

The downside is that, like now, we are defeated by an opponent we cannot match, and we are wiped out without any chance to fight back, and no one knows about it.

Communication in space is not so easy. Every year, many ships disappear without a trace. Whether they are lost in the vast universe or taken care of by mercenaries who are like hunters, no one knows.

During her mission to capture Li Buying, Kate took on a large number of jobs, mostly involving poaching, smuggling, and transporting contraband. Sometimes, she would also rob merchant ships if they came across one.

It sounds similar to the Age of Exploration, except that instead of countries, it's planets now interacting with each other.

"This is the star map inside the ship. Kate has never left the Milky Way, but it seems that humanity has already spread to five galaxies."

Ai Yi brought the information to Li Buying's screen and explained it in her own voice.

Looking at that incomparably dazzling star map, Li Buying finally realized her own insignificance, and then thought about those gods in Marvel who could destroy worlds at the drop of a hat...

Fortunately, at least in his dimension, it's highly likely that only Thanos with all the Infinity Gauntlets could unleash an attack that targets the entire universe, though the possibility of powerful gods appearing later cannot be ruled out.

Is there a place for "Pandora" on the star map? No, wait, I think it's called Pandora.

Li Buying originally wanted to ask where the planet in No Man's Land that sealed the "tentacles" and the "evil god" was, but suddenly remembered that the planet in Avatar was also called Pandora, and both were in the Milky Way.

There are a total of 28555 stars in the Milky Way that are called Pandora.

"Then let's focus on the Alpha Centauri system. There are signs of life on that planet, a company is developing it, and the native inhabitants are a very tall humanoid species with pointed ears and blue skin."

"You mean a planet where the Na'vi exist, right?"

The information was enough for Ai Yi to find the target. The mechanical girl interrupted his description and showed him the scene. A Na'vi appeared on Li Buying's screen, and he nodded slightly to indicate that this was the guy.

"We have a Na'vi on our ship. He was secretly traded from the company by Kate."

"...What is the current situation on Pandora? As far as I know, the natives defeated a company that attacked once."

Upon hearing Li Buying's question, Ai Yi tilted her head and quickly found a suitable analogy: "Hmm~, just like Europeans, Americans, and Native Americans."

"You're probably referring to the situation many years ago. Most areas of that planet had a special magnetic field, and back then, humans didn't have many ways to solve the problem of electronic devices malfunctioning, which is why they lost to the natives."

"But they quickly came up with a solution: simply lock onto a specific area from high orbit and bomb it. Humans have already established a base on that planet and are mining energy minerals."

"Areas without energy minerals were not affected. Those areas are not suitable for human habitation. Moreover, there has always been opposition within the United Human Government, so the Corporation did not exterminate the Na'vi on Pandora."

After hearing about the somewhat tragic situation of that Pandora, Li Buying nodded and inquired about another Pandora planet that she was more interested in, the one with the witch, evil god, and giant tentacles, which seemed to be more advanced.

There is also the "Time Machine" from Titanfall, which, although essentially used to destroy stars, possesses [Gravity Mastery], allowing it to glimpse the mysteries of gravity through time.

The other Pandora also has special mineral deposits, and is said to possess treasures spanning the entire galaxy...

According to his description, Ai also found the relevant location from the star map.
