I Just Wanted to Be a Galactic Hunter—Why Am I on the Wanted List?-Chapter 238: Waiting
Loren stood by the starship window for a long time before Hans finally returned from his workshop.
"Mr. Loren, the hibernation pod is ready, and he's already lying inside it."
Loren, standing before the window, turned his head.
"Hans, a little gift for you."
With that, Loren took out the mecha wreckage he had destroyed in the prison from the "Crimson Tear".
Hans's eyes lit up!
"Mr. Loren, you are truly a generous man."
A mysterious smile appeared on Loren's face.
Grow up a bit faster, Mr. Repairman, I'm starting to get a little impatient...
Give the Federation a special surprise!! Preferably one that sweeps through the entire Federation!!!
"You're welcome, Mr. Hans. Wake me when we reach the Radiant Flow Star Domain."
Loren lightly adjusted his hat and left the spacious cockpit...
Returning to his rest room on the starship, Loren voluntarily deactivated the Possession State and tossed Raven its portable computer.
"Ancient Orcish Script, Raven."
"Master, if this were the old era, you'd be hanged from a lamppost!!"
"Don't forget, you still have Federation network technology on your learning list..." Loren smiled as he looked at the other.
"...Oh! I'm starting to regret having Wisdom already!"
Loren patted Raven's little head as encouragement, then sat on the bed and began deep Meditation.
The opportunity to advance to Legendary was the most important thing for Loren at the moment!
Soon, the room fell quiet.
Raven buried its head in learning the Ancient Orcish Script on the screen, and Loren's breathing during Meditation gradually became almost imperceptible...
With his mental power strengthened once more, Loren found his practice of Meditation even more proficient.
All matters were steadily moving forward, slowly but surely...
Federal Calendar 7708, November 10th, evening.
Radiant Flow Star Domain.
An utterly unremarkable interstellar starship descended from the sky above Radiant Flow Main City.
The interstellar starship piloted by Hans's robots landed deep within the vast, boundless nature reserve outside Radiant Flow Main City.
"Mr. Loren, we've arrived at the Radiant Flow Star Domain." Hans's voice sounded from outside the door.
Loren, who had been in deep Meditation for two days, opened his eyes.
"Understood, Hans."
Loren got up from the bed, stretched, and then looked towards Raven on the other side.
At this moment, the screen of the portable computer before Raven no longer displayed various materials on Ancient Orcish Script. Instead, it showed the Interstellar Hunter Forum page, which Loren was extremely familiar with.
"Have you finished learning the Ancient Orcish Script?" Loren asked softly.
"Yes, Master. Through my relentless efforts, I am now a research scholar of Ancient Orcish Script."
Raven's tone was filled with pride.
"Excellent, Raven. You have made good use of your Wisdom."
After praising the other with one sentence, Loren snapped his fingers, activated the Possession State, put away Raven's portable computer, and walked out of the room.
Arriving at the starship's cockpit, Hans and two robots were playing cards.
Seeing Loren's arrival, Hans turned his head and asked, "Mr. Loren, care to play a few hands?"
Loren: "...Thanks, but no."
As the former Gambling King of the Jadeite Star Domain, Loren was obviously not too interested in pure recreational activities that didn't involve Spirit Stones.
"Alright, Mr. Loren. You'll need to wait patiently for a while then."
"I just notified the Smuggling Organization people; they might have just set off..."
Hans said to Loren while keeping his eyes on the card game in front of him.
"It's fine, I'm quite patient."
Learning that the Smuggling Organization people were still on the way, Loren tilted his head in thought and finally sat down next to Hans, joining the card game.
Killing a little time is acceptable...
"Hans, do you have Spirit Stones? I prefer games with a bit more excitement." Loren asked with an unchanged expression.
Hans hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Yes, but I need to remind you, Mr. Loren."
"The card skills of these two guys opposite are quite good. I only discovered after repairing them that their original programming contains a vast amount of mathematical knowledge."
"Therefore, they are very suited for games like cards. I often lose to them..."
Hearing Hans's reminder, Loren revealed a somewhat expectant smile and asked softly,
"Do those two have Spirit Stones then?"
Upon hearing this, Hans quietly lowered his head, his expression somewhat embarrassed.
The two robots opposite spoke for the first time in front of Loren.
One of the robots spoke up:
"Please rest assured, due to the repairman's barely passable card skills and his considerable fondness for this game, in the past, he has lost many Spirit Stones to us..."
Hans's lowered head dipped a little further.
Then, the other robot continued:
"And the number of Spirit Stones lost to us, according to calculations, is sufficient to power us for over a century, with plenty left over..."
Then, both robots said in unison:
"In fact, before your arrival, the wealthiest intelligent beings on this starship were the two of us."
Loren's expression froze for a moment. He gave a disdainful glance at Hans beside him, who was practically burying his head in the ground, and silently complained:
You really know how to have fun, Mr. Hans...
As if sensing Loren's gaze, Hans awkwardly explained:
"There aren't many entertainment activities underground in the scrapyard, besides going online, there's only playing cards..."
No wonder you weren't playing with them for Spirit Stones earlier... Loren thought silently.
"Alright then, let's begin." Loren suggested with a smile.
"As you wish, Mr. Loren." The two robots opposite said simultaneously.
Finally, Hans also wanted to sit down and play a couple of hands.
But he was barred from joining the card game by the two robots with the reason, "Repairman, your financial status and credibility rating are worse than a stray dog on the roadside..."
Hans could only sit awkwardly next to Loren, muttering softly:
"I'll just watch, I won't play, I'll never play cards again, uh... right, I can still deal cards for you..."
And so, a bizarre card game began.
A card game consisting of two robots and one human, with one human dealer.
...
Two hours later.
The card game in the cockpit was still ongoing.
And by now, the state of the game had somewhat exceeded the expectations of those two mathematical robots...
On the floor behind Loren was piled a large heap of Spirit Stones he had won.
Hans beside him looked at Loren with worshipful eyes, as if gazing upon a God.
He had dealt the cards himself; he knew Loren hadn't cheated at all throughout!
The two mathematical robots opposite were both staring at their own Trump Cards, their mechanical faces revealing a trace of conflict.
Their hands were both very strong; one had "four Queens", the other had "four Jacks".
What made these two mathematical robots extremely conflicted was...
Although the probability calculated from the cards on the table suggested their chances of winning were high...
This Mr. Loren opposite seemed to have particularly good luck, always managing to trigger low-probability events...
