Xia Fei drank two cups of tea and did a simple analysis of the mission briefing. Afterward, he began cleaning the library, while Qin Mang got up silently and went down the basement. Pulling out a microcomputer from his pocket, he established a video-call with Ye Jingshan.

Ye Jingshan, who had been in the middle of handling some documents, saw Qin Mang’s call and immediately got up, tidied up his uniform and hair, puffed out his chest, and assumed a solemn expression.

“Teacher, are you looking for me?” Ye Jingshan very respectfully bowed a full ninety degrees, which was as precise as a straightedge.

Qin Mang waved his hand off-handedly. “Jingshan, I’ve already told you for the umpteenth time that there’s no need to be so serious. I’ve always hated people who fake gravitas.”

“Yes, your student understands.” Ye Jingshan straightened back up, his head slightly nodding, showing a look of utmost respect for Qin Mang.

Qin Mang sighed. “Do you have something you’re hiding from me recently?”

Ye Jingshan was stunned as he quickly answered, “What made you say something like that, teacher?”

As the most elite team in the Union, Team 13 owned two specialized frigates, and the Inquisitor-class was used for long-distance missions or ones that required plenty of equipment. The other spaceship they had was a Mittal Rifter-class, small and fast, used for emergency missions or pursuits.

Xia Fei went around the spaceship once and discovered that it had plenty of equipment placed on deck, a majority of which was high-energy consuming and high-powered. There was even a multi-functional armored vehicle parked on its cargo hold.

Thanks to the Inquisitor-class’s immense capacity and size, not even one-third of the equipment on this ship could have fitted onboard Xia Fei’s Lunar Eclipse.

It was as the saying went: ‘Everything has its pros and cons.’ After this frigate had been fitted with everything, its mobility suffered as a result. According to Xia Fei’s calculations, comparing this ship to his Lunar Eclipse, fifteen minutes was all he would need to make this Inquisitor-class frigate disappear into the cosmos.

After all, Lunar Eclipse had been retrofitted solely for the sake of combat, and in order for that to be possible, it lacked any non-essential equipment. Conversely, this spaceship had been fitted for the purpose of accomplishing a myriad of missions. It was huge and clumsy, a comprehensive repertoire of functions and equipment but lacking in top combat features.

As the warship engaged in auto-pilot flight, Xiao Haili called Xia Fei and the others to the ship’s mess, ready to hold a meeting regarding their mission.

Because frigates did not have a lot of crew onboard, most did not have a dedicated conference room. As such, the ship’s mess had been given additional modifications, allowing people to dine, find entertainment, hold a meeting, and other such activities inside.

The mess was large and had facilities galore. It even had three comfortable, long sofas as well as several gaming systems for leisure use. In contrast, Lunar Eclipse was completely overshadowed in this aspect; in order to designate more of the ship’s space for combat purposes, Lunar Eclipse’s mess comprised a square, metallic table and four chairs, totally spartan-like.

Queiroz had very attentively poured a cup of coffee for Moon Song. Ever since they came aboard the ship, the ever amorous Quieroz had been badgering Moon Song. There was no way of him knowing about her sexual orientation being different from most girls, and that in order for him to gain her favor, he would have to be prepared to go through a sex change.

Xiao Haili, Queiroz, and Bosingwa stood across Xia Fei and the others, all looking like mentors. Xiao Haili intentionally coughed twice before he unfurled the large projector screen in the mess. “Have all of you read the mission briefing?”

Everyone nodded. They were all very excited about being out on a mission for the first time, so they had naturally spent a lot of time and effort going over the mission briefing they were given.

Xiao Haili paused for a moment before he pointed at the image of the space station, which was displayed on the screen. “This is our destination, GPP1796 Space Station. Several days ago, a transport ship passed by this area, and their radar system inadvertently scanned the station, then noticed that a spaceship had connected to it without an Alliance code. From its dimensions, we can tell that the size of the ship is a cross between a frigate and a destroyer.

“That’s why our mission this time is to conduct a routine search of that space station, see if any illegal individual managed to infiltrate, and if needed, we can enter the space station and do a search inside.

“This is a second-tier mission and can be considered as a low-level one, so we won’t be able to have any backup, and if we do end up needing it, it will take twelve hours before the nearest team can arrive to help. The moment something strange happens, we can only depend on ourselves to resolve the situation,” Xiao Haili informed them all with severity.

Queiroz chuckled. “Brother Hai, they are but novices; there’s no need to scare them. That bit about backup… This is just a routine inspection, so there’s no need to be afraid Moon Song; I’ll be with you.”

Xiao Haili stared at the cheeky Queiroz. “A mission is still a mission. There’s no difference if this is a tier-1 or tier-9 mission; we must deal with them with gravitas and aplomb. Okay, now is a good time to ask any question you might have, or else you may begin your leisure time.”

Beihai and Manjun asked several superficial questions, then the meeting adjourned with everyone entering leisure time.

Xia Fei made his way to his cabin and buried himself in reading the space station information that Qin Mang had given him, then he proceeded to train his Sly Thrust and Breath Control techniques several times.

Xia Fei had only just ranked up not too long ago, and combat using a speed of 400m/s was completely different from attempting the same with a speed of 800m/s. He would have to do plenty of drills before he could adjust to the increase in his speed.

The sixteen hours of flight quickly went by. The inside of the warship was lit with yellow indicator lights, indicating that they had arrived at their destination and could begin their inspection.

Xia Fei left his cabin and made his way to the bridge. Before he reached the door, he could already hear Bosingwa’s voice coming from the command room. “What’s going on? Why are the life support and gravity systems of this space station all turned on despite being abandoned? Could there be people staying inside?”

Xiao Haili gave it some thought before giving out a booming command. “Orbit around the space station at a six-hundred-mile distance with speed at twenty percent. Activate the bio-detector and begin to scan the place. Turn on the main weapons system and the deep-scanning radar system. Keep the energy shields at fifty percent capacity and the shield rechargers at the ready; lastly, have the maintenance drones on standby.”
