Chapter 605 Space Pirates (The End)
Chapter 605 Space Pirates (The End)
Xiong Bufan spent twenty-five years in the interstellar space, fulfilling all of the original owner's wishes before leaving that world.
Technology is constantly evolving. If one keeps learning and tries to master everything before moving on, even a hundred years in interstellar space wouldn't be enough for Xiong Bufan.
Xiong Bufan felt that learning a skill was enough, and there was no need to learn the most advanced techniques. So when he had learned enough, he left the world without hesitation.
Xiong Bufan never had to worry about Albuquerque; she was just distressed about the star coins she hadn't yet withdrawn.
Kongkong looked at the parts, materials, nutrient solution, weapons, and mechs in the space. How many times did he want to tell Xiong Bufan to shut up, but he didn't say a word and just quietly tidied up.
Although he hadn't spent many years in the interstellar world, Xiong Bufan had collected a lot of things. He had two mechs, three armories, and countless other parts and gadgets.
Kongkong suspected that Xiong Bufan herself didn't even remember how much she had collected; she just kept collecting what she thought was good.
After feeling sorry for the lost star coins, Xiong Bufan started eating. She hadn't eaten a decent meal in over twenty years and had almost starved to death.
Kongkong placed the food next to Xiong Bufan and watched her keep pouring anything edible into her mouth. He scratched his head and started eating too.
Watching Xiong Bufan eat always whets a cat's appetite; even Kongkong, who isn't hungry, gets cravings just watching.
A bear and a cat sat together eating, while the little ginseng, who was kept out, kept gesturing, trying to get Kongkong and Xiong Bufan to let them out.
Lai Cai stayed close to Xiong Bufan. It hadn't seen its master for a long time, and it wanted to stay with its master forever and protect him.
When Luo Xixi went to wake Xiong Bufan up, the instrument showed that Xiong Bufan had lost vital signs, so she quickly used the personal terminal to call Che Ziqin and the others.
Before the Zerg invasion, the average lifespan of people in interstellar space was around 150 years. Ouyang Qian's death before the age of fifty was extremely rare and unusual.
Ouyang Qian's body lay quietly on the bed, her expression unchanged. For a moment, Luo Xixi thought Xiong Bufan was playing a prank.
Luo Xixi whispered in Xiong Bufan's ear, "My lord, someone wants to buy the city lord's mansion."
Ouyang Qian still didn't react, so Luo Xixi said again, "My lord, someone is trying to steal your star coins and nutrient solution."
Normally, Xiong Bufan would have jumped out of bed long ago, ready to double-cross the enemy, but there's still no reaction.
Even if Luo Xixi doesn't want to believe it, she has to admit that Xiong Bufan has passed away.
Che Ziqin also did not believe that Xiong Bufan would die. He once used an instrument to measure how long Xiong Bufan would live, and the instrument showed that he could live to be over 180 years old, which was longer than the average lifespan.
Che Ziqin could only measure Xiong Bufan's vital signs again and again, and found that the results were always the same.
Now that the facts are before him, Che Ziqin has no choice but to believe them.
As the leader of the ball, Xiong Bufan's body cannot be simply dismembered; a grander ceremony is needed to express their desire to retain him and their high regard for him.
The funeral was held on Albuquerque. Apart from the royalists and politicians from the Alliance who had been beaten and deceived by Xiong Bufan, everyone else held a memorial service on their personal computers.
To prevent representatives from both parties from causing trouble on Alberk, external access was shut down and the protective shield was activated as soon as the news was released.
The people of Albuquerque all rushed to the city lord's mansion to mourn Xiong Bufan and bury him according to interstellar tradition.
Che Ziqin's idea was to place Ouyang Qian's body on the energy sphere above the city lord's mansion, so that she could watch over and protect Alberk forever.
However, this idea was strongly rejected by Luo Xixi and Chen Wenxiao. Luo Xixi believed that burial was the best option, while Chen Wenxiao thought of a device from a thousand years ago—a lightning rod.
Every time there's thunder and rain, a lightning rod is taken out.
There is no lightning or rain in the interstellar world now, but it's still not good to put a corpse in a lightning rod. It's like deliberately playing a prank on someone, making sure they can't rest in peace even in death.
In the end, the three decided to bury Ouyang Qian's body together with the rest of the Ouyang family, which could be considered as a way of recognizing their ancestors and returning them to their ancestral home.
Ouyang Qian did not disgrace the Ouyang family; in fact, she continued the family's glory.
Albuquerque was not opened up afterward; instead, it was developed behind closed doors, researching its own technology.
Death is a heavy topic, whether in interstellar space or in other worlds.
Luo Xixi is still unable to get over Xiong Bufan's death and stays in her room every day.
Che Ziqin then began sending people to build a statue of Ouyang Qian. Humans need faith, and Xiong Bufan is the faith of Albuquerque.
As the most advanced planet in the entire interstellar space, Albuquerque quickly saw other planets follow suit and build sculptures. Xiong Bufan's sculptures sprang up like mushrooms after rain, mainly because some people believed in them.
While Xiong Bufan was still eating in the space, the power of faith continued to flow into the space.
Kong Kong looked up and saw that Xiong Bufan had been enveloped in golden smoke, as if he were wearing armor. "Bufan, look at yourself."
Xiong Bufan put down the food in his hand and touched his body, only to find nothing there. But upon closer inspection, he could see wisps of golden light flowing around his body.
Kongkong also had some golden light on him, but it wasn't as intense as Xiong Bufan's.
Xiong Bufan began trying to disperse the golden smoke, but as soon as he finished brushing it away with his hands, it was quickly covered by new smoke again, as if he could not get rid of it no matter what he did.
"Kongkong, what is this?"
"This is the power of faith. People in the small world worship you, just like they worship a god."
Xiong Bufan felt secretly pleased, thinking, "They really have good taste."
The golden light of faith continued to enter the space, quickly enveloping it and hovering around the ceiling.
This was the first time they had ever seen so much power of faith, and both Kongkong and Xiong Bufan were quite excited.
Xiong Bufan has stopped eating and is now running around and having fun in the space. More faith power means she can travel through fewer worlds and ascend to godhood sooner.
Kongkong now returns to the mirror to observe Che Ziqin and the others' next move.
Albuquerque is well-governed, existing outside of the two parties, and is seen as a haven by interstellar people.
Xiong Bufan's story has spread widely, and it has even been published as an e-book on a quantum computer.
However, the fact that he killed two emperors, crippled the queen, and the crown princess was concealed. The book focuses more on Xiong Bufan's extraordinary talent and the guidance of two renowned teachers, Che Ziqin and Chen Wenxiao.
Kong Kong remained silent, but took out a small notebook to record Xiong Bufan's achievements.
However, as he kept writing, the notebook turned into a list of victims. It turned out that Xiong Bufan had killed so many people.
But they deserved it. If they had acted like good people, would Xiong Bufan have killed them?
