Otherworld Girl Development Guide

Each stage has its own tasks. The orderly development of the other world has the ultimate goal of establishing China's 35th "overseas" province.

The portal, which opens every five days, continuously sends a steady stream of magic horn ore back to Earth, while also transporting Earth's resources to Mingrui Star.

"Of course, you're a major shareholder after all!" The old man gave Zhou Mingrui a disapproving look. This kid was too complacent; he needed to find him something to do!

"Starting tomorrow, I'll have Lieutenant Shi train you. You've always wanted to fly a plane, haven't you? If you pass the theory test, I'll let you take to the skies for a spin!"

"Shi Qiang can fly a plane?"

Zhou Mingrui was stunned. He hadn't expected that Shi Qiang, who looked so handsome with thick eyebrows, could actually fly a plane!

"Of course, he's a very skilled pilot."

"J-20?" Zhou Mingrui looked at the old man with some excitement.

Who wouldn't want to be a pilot riding a 20-hime (a type of Japanese airplane)?

His anti-terrorism bureau won't be established anytime soon... it's not even set up yet.

"Elementary Lesson 6!"

The retired old man gave Zhou Mingrui a disapproving look. "The 20-series is not something an ordinary person can drive! Besides, he's very precious now. Being able to drive a training aircraft is already the limit of his authority."

"Oh, that works... at least I can go to heaven."

A month later, Zhou Mingrui saw "big guys" for the first time. Six Type 022 missile boats passed through the portal and arrived on the island, which also meant that the island had the capability for near-shore defense patrols.

While large ships cannot be delivered, the Type 022 missile boats are already the limit of what can be transported. Besides, so many Type 022 missile boats in storage are just gathering dust if not used, so it's better to send them to Mingrui Star.

Two missile boats were docked at the temporary port berths, while four other Type 022 missile boats patrolled the 200-nautical-mile economic zone, conducting sea trials and collecting hydrological data.

The Type 022 missile boat, with its catamaran wave-piercing hull, is very beautiful, and with the navy's unique camouflage paint, its design is very futuristic.

"Tsk tsk tsk... good looks are definitely a fighting force."

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded.

Shi Qiang quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to inquire. His expression suddenly changed, and he strode forward, pulling Zhou Mingrui toward the command post.

"Uh... what happened?" Zhou Mingrui looked at Shi Qiang in confusion.

"The radar station has detected several maritime targets approaching, suspected to be vessels from a native civilization!" Shi Qiang said with a serious expression.

"Indigenous civilization?"

Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment.

It's really unpredictable. The native civilization that we didn't see in the three years we spent on Mingrui Star has suddenly appeared... I can't help but wonder what they, or rather, what they look like?

The sound of engines starting came from behind, and the two Type 022 missile boats set off immediately. The four water jets at the stern sprayed out long waves, propelling the missile boats, which had a displacement of only 220 tons, toward the target at a speed of 50 knots.

Chapter 10 Please leave immediately!

On the azure sea, a cargo ship with a displacement of nearly a thousand tons, made of a mixture of metal and wood, is sailing at full speed ahead, while two metal ships follow closely behind it.

"Captain...what do we do? The pirates are closing in!"

His skin, tanned bronze from prolonged sun exposure, and his unshaven face, were reflected in his binoculars as he looked back, his brow furrowing slightly. The pirate ship's energy core was far superior to his passenger vessel's, and the distance between them was closing rapidly; sooner or later, the pirates would catch up.

"Increase speed and dump all the unimportant cargo overboard!"

The first mate frowned. The power furnace could explode if it operated for a long time, but the captain was the boss, and the crew had to do whatever he said.

It's abnormal that the pirates are relentlessly pursuing them. They've been forced into unknown waters, and if the pirates continue to chase them, they could easily get lost at sea. If they were to encounter a sea monster, it would be a devastating outcome.

The ship was carrying fruit and ore, so the pirates had no reason to pursue it so relentlessly. That left only one answer... The first mate asked in a deep voice, "Captain, is there any important cargo on board?"

Suddenly, the cabin fell silent. All the crew members looked at the captain, who suddenly turned to the first mate. His hawk-like gaze startled the first mate, who turned pale with fright.

"This is none of your business. Keep your thoughts to yourself. Behind you is the infamous 'Ripper' pirate crew. I don't need to elaborate on what will happen if you get caught by them!"

Gulp! All the crew members couldn't help but swallow hard. Someone called the Ripper... it goes without saying what would happen if he were caught.

Inside the cabin, a young girl tightly gripped the pendant on her chest with her left hand. Her long, silver-gray hair cascaded down her back, and a long black ribbon tied into a large bow at the back of her head. A revolver powered by orbal energy was tucked into the belt at her waist.

Her pink and white short skirt accentuated a touch of heroism, her beautiful face was filled with worry, and her gray eyes flickered with complex emotions.

She never imagined that her secret trip would be discovered, or rather, betrayed... The pirates relentlessly pursuing her were after her.

"no!"

The girl stood up abruptly, put on a hooded robe, and strode out of the cabin. The pirates were getting closer and closer; it was only a matter of time before they were hit.

Just as I stepped onto the deck, a missile-powered projectile slammed into the sea not far away...

A column of water, four or five meters high, rose from the sea surface, splashing onto the white leather boots.

"They're already within firing range? We need to hurry!"

Puff puff!

A sound like farting came from behind, and missiles fired at the cargo ship, shells constantly hitting the sea.

Upon discovering that the pirates had opened fire, the cargo ship immediately took evasive action. The girl quickly grabbed the bulkhead to avoid falling to the ground and gritted her teeth as she struggled to make her way to the control room.

"Captain, this won't do! If we keep operating it at full capacity like this, the energy-conducting reactor will explode!"

The captain frowned deeply and said, "Keep accelerating!"

Just as the captain hesitated, the door was suddenly flung open.

"captain..."

The sudden female voice startled everyone. Turning around, they saw a young girl walk in, biting her lip and saying, "...Hand me over!"

"No, you're overthinking it. They're after the goods."

“They’re after me…” The girl pulled off her hood, letting her long, silver-gray hair fall down, and looked at the captain, saying, “...There’s no need for them to risk their lives for me.”

"Miss Ellie?!"

Upon seeing the girl's appearance, the first mate's eyes widened. How could she be on the ship...? Then, everything made sense; the pirates were after her!

"It's no use. The Ripper Pirates don't leave anyone alive. We're not doing this for you, but for ourselves. Besides, I still owe your father a favor. I won't hand you over," the captain said calmly.

The girl pursed her lips, feeling somewhat guilty.

boom!

A loud bang came from the stern of the cargo ship. The power furnace had malfunctioned due to prolonged overloading, and its output power had decreased.

"Captain, the energy core is overloaded!"

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. After the speed decreased, the pirate ship's orbment cannon hit the hull, tearing a large hole in it. Seawater immediately flooded into the cabin, further reducing the cargo ship's speed.

"Hehe! Boss, it's a hit! It's a hit! They can't escape now!"

Seeing their prey rendered helpless, the members of the Ripper's pirate crew cheered.

"Prepare to board, eliminate everyone except the target!"

"Boss...we've been at sea for so long, and the target looks pretty fresh, could we..."

Before the pirate could finish speaking, the middle-aged man with a ferocious expression grabbed him by the collar and said in a voice that seemed to want to devour him, "This target is very important. Anyone who dares to touch her, I'll kill them! Keep your things to yourself, you can do whatever you want after we get ashore! Understand?!"

"I...I understand!"

The pirate chick nodded repeatedly, like a pecking at rice.

"Now, move in and kill them all!"

On the cargo ship, watching the pirate ship slowly approach, they could vaguely see pirates wielding various weapons, eager to begin their slaughter.

The crew members' faces were filled with terror. If they hadn't known that the enemy would leave no survivors, they would have knelt down and begged for mercy.

For their own lives, the crew members drew their weapons, and Ellie resolutely pulled out her revolver-like orbal gun from her waist.

"What is that?!"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed crew member spotted four small boats speeding toward them across the distant sea, growing larger almost visibly!

"Goddess above, are they flying?!"

As they approached, four oddly shaped small boats quickly dispersed and surrounded them, from which they could vaguely hear a language they had never heard before.

"Attention! This is the Chinese Navy. You have entered Chinese territorial waters. Please leave immediately! Please leave immediately!"

The pirate leader frowned deeply. Could there be other forces in this abyssal sea?

"Boss, someone's here!"

"Ah."

He picked up his binoculars to observe the speedboats, leaving a long trail of white mist behind him.

Is it some kind of unknown force-conducting device?

What is that thing that keeps spinning in the cockpit?

After observing the small boat's armament, it was discovered that apart from a small orbal cannon at the bow, there were no other noteworthy orbal weapons.

As for what they are saying, there's no need to pay attention; the ocean is a place where strength speaks for itself.

"Fire! Drive them away!"

"Yes, sir!"

The gunner immediately controlled the orbment cannon, made slight adjustments, and fired at the nearest small boat.

boom!

A shell flew out of the cannon and crashed into the sea a hundred meters away from the small boat.

After a brief pause, the small boat quickly distanced itself from the pirate ship.

"Hmph." The pirate captain let out a disdainful snort, his gaze returning to the cargo ship.

As the small boat sailed away, the surrounding pirates burst into laughter, mocking the coward.

Chapter 11 Truth lies only within the range of cannons!

Island Operations Command Center, CIC.

The atmosphere was serious and busy. Messages were being sent to the CIC, and on the large OLED display in the Operations Intelligence Center, three bright spots were slowly creeping toward the island.
