Chapter 306: 8.33 First Blue Star - While testing our gadgets, we won a Jackpot!
At the deserted area in the middle of the night.
Solaris Vega was standing in between Xue Ran and Feng Jing who were holding an explosive each in their hands.
Xue Ran, "Vega, we're starting."
"Un! I will observe seriously and take the records," said Solaris Vega.
Feng Jing, "By the way Xiao Vega no matter what appears, don't be scared and run out of nowhere okay? I and Senior Xue are here. Senior Ran would definitely protect us~"
"Yes!" responded Solaris Vega.
Xue Ran and Feng Jing started throwing explosives at the deserted area. Xue Ran only follows the direction of Feng Jing by launching his bombs. The stack power of the explosives was so strong that the land under it collapsed. Obviously, this area had hollowed underground channels. The sounds of bombs and insects shrieking can be heard echoing under the dark sky.
BOOOM! BAAANG! BOOOM!
KRRREEEK! KRRRIIEKK!!! KRRIIIEEE~
Xue Ran and Solaris Vega were stunned to see a low leveled ant-type zerg dying from the collapsed land. Some were buried under the ground due to the explosion and some parts of the zerg scattered on the ground with green blood.
"Wuwuwu~ What is that? Is that a Zerg!? But this outer region? Leader~" said Solaris Vega as he hugs Feng Jing's arm.
Xue Ran murmured, "There's a nest underground. What should we do now? Run?"
An amused smile appeared on Feng Jing's face but immediately covered it. "Let's try throwing every explosive in there. Maybe it would all die. Xiao Vega, did you bring spares in your inventory?" asked Feng Jing.
Solaris Vega nodded and with a wave of his hand a few more boxes of bombs appeared around the three of them. Everyone was surprised to see how many stocks of bombs this innocent bun had been hiding in his inventory.
"I-I only have this. 1/3 of it was already given to Yven-ge to control our team stocks. These are extras." said Solaris Vega.
Feng Jing and Xue Ran's thoughts, 'So~ These are spares huh?'
"Okay all the three of us are throwing everything in the box there. Maybe it would all kill the ant-type zergs," said Feng Jing.
The two who were with him nodded their heads and the three worked together to throw all the bombs to the nest and kill off the zergs. While the three were playing around with bombs and zergs, this scene was all witnessed by the soldiers observing from outer space. Those who are connected with the three who are at the scene started issuing orders to come over to that location and eliminate the zergs.
Outer Space Fleet outside Planet Citlali.
Fallen Gods Spaceship.
Xue Ying had a serious expression after seeing such a scene. He and the rest just came back from their training and their bodies were hurting all over. But the scene of Zergs appearing in the outer region made their faces dark.
Lieutenant General Xue Ying said, "A low-level Zerg in the outer region of the Star Citlali!? What are you guys doing? Did you send reinforcement to save Feng Jing?!" he said to his subordinates only for them to peek at the silent man sitting beside their lieutenant.
"B-But the Marshal said..."
Xue Ying noticed their subordinates' expressions and also looked at their Marshal with confusion on his face. He couldn't understand why the Marshal who loves his cousin the most is staying quiet at this moment.
Xue Ying asked, "Boss, aren't you going to help your wife?"
"Are you blind? Does Jing'er look like he needs help?" said the Marshal as he motioned his head to gesture to Xue Ying to look back at the ongoing recording.
They could see Feng Jing happily throwing bombs with an adorable smile on his face and as if affected by his relaxing expression the shy little mechanic, Solaris Vega joyously followed his leader in throwing bombs with excited safety. Only Xue Ran remained calm and proper during the whole event. He was completely on guard just in case some zerg had broken through the explosion. If that really happened then he could only grab these two silly bombers and run away.
Solaris Vega picked up the last bomb he made with a 100-meter radius effect and excitedly passed it to his leader.
"Leader~ this is the last one~," said Solaris Vega, passing the explosive to his boss.
Feng Jing with a huge smile on his face was carrying a bowling size bomb in his hand.
"Hehe~ this looks like a fun one to throw there ~," said Feng Jing, as he took action as if he was shooting a 3 point basketball.
Solaris Vega is watching with bright eyes towards his leader, "Leader, throw it in!"
"Hahaha~ okay, here we go!" said Feng Jing as he finally threw the bomb. He has precise control over his strength as always and the bomb flew in a huge arc slowly falling at the center of the deserted land due to gravity.

At the ship monitoring who watched the relaxing conversation between Feng Jing and his silly mechanic genius, Solaris Vega.
Dumbfounded Xue Ying asked, "What the hell are they doing?"
HIs subordinates replied:
"Playing around?"
"But those are bombs!!"
"They look like they are bombers in this perspective especially Madam and the little genius mechanic."
"They don't seem to be in danger."
Marshal Sirius looked at his stunned right-hand man and said, "You want to send help? Who needs it?"
---
Back to Planet Citlali, Xue Ran, who felt things weren't supposed to end this easily, could only ask the cheering mechanic beside him.
"I know that the effect is 100-meter radius but what about the aftereffects, Xiao Vega?" asked Xue Ran.
Solaris Vega thought for a moment and estimated the aftereffects of the explosion. "Hm~ I guess the shockwave would be tripled in that radius? EH?"
Xue Ran, who heard the clear answer, had to grab the two troublemakers and make a run for it. Grabbing each on his shoulder like a bag of rice sacks, he runs away at full speed. Triple the radius effect means it could reach where they are currently standing at. The two troublemakers were still happily watching the explosion while being carried away. Behind them, the huge sound of explosion can be heard.
The scene of Xue Ran grabbed Feng Jing's waist and getting carried over his shoulder was seen by Marshal Sirius in the monitoring room. Those who were with him suddenly felt the temperature immediately dropped at this moment. But they could only suffer and couldn't run away. Who let their Marshal feel jealous even in this kind of situation.
Marshal Sirius murmured, "That brat!" his whole body is covered in dark aura.
BBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!! There is even a mushroom-like smoke coming out from the center of the land as if a nuclear bomb had fallen in that place.
Meanwhile, the creator of such a dangerous gadget is laughing like a child, "Hahaha~ so fast~ run faster~" shouted Solaris Vega.
Feng Jing finally calmed down seeing that effect, "Not bad! Xiao Vega, how many did you make of those things, especially the last one?"
"I only made three. One is used. There are only two now. I left it with Yven-ge." answered Solaris Vega honesty.
Feng Jing said, "Lacking resources? I'll get you some more. Make more of those. It will be extremely useful for eliminating herd attacks."
"Okay!" said Solaris Vega.
Xue Ran ran without looking back but he could feel the rushing wind pushing his back. Only when they returned to the camp did Xue Ran put down these troublemakers. He was a bit out of breath as he dashed with full strength while carrying two adult men on his shoulder. Solaris Vega worriedly looked at his almost hyperventilating senior and passed a glass of water to him.
"Senior~ are you okay?" asked Solaris Vega.
Xue Ran slightly smiled at the young man and said, "I'm okay. Don't worry. Thank you."
Xue Ran controlled his breathing until it returned to normal. He gave his thanks to Vega as he received the glass of water he urgently needs.
Feng Jing was humming as he grilled some marshmallows on the fire. "It's ready. Xiao Vega, you can take some now~"
"Un~ let's roast some cheese too," said Solaris Vega, clearly he also enjoyed their adventure.
While having midnight snacks the communicator of everyone in their team received a collective message.
[Ding! Congratulations! Your team had defeated a small herd of Ant-type zerg. Your current accumulated Kill Points is now 1000.
Ding! Your team is now on top of the list of Kill Points.]
Feng Wu mumbled, "1000 KP. You've gone to the middle region, my lord?"
"Hm? No, we didn't but Xiao Vega coincidently found an underground nest. We just bombed it for fun~" answered Feng Jing. His mood for that night was obviously good after playing around.
Solaris Vega was also enjoying the food and nodded his head like a pecking chicken when he heard his boss's answer. Feng Wu also looked at Xue Ran who nodded his head in agreement with Feng Jing's words.
Xue Ran said, "We are a bit lucky."

On the other hand, those who felt the explosions aftereffect and suffered from it all went to send a scout team to check. But when they arrived at the location. It was already restricted as the hidden protectors came over to check the aftermath. It was the aftermath because when they arrived on the scene, they almost suffered from serious injuries when the last huge explosion took place. Thankfully they were in their mechas and barely escaped on time.
The scouts who arrived on the scene were blocked by soldiers. They were stunned seeing such a big hole on the ground full of insect carcasses and green blood.
A student commented, "A zerg? But this is the outer region..."
"Shit! What the hell happened here? Did a nuclear bomb fall here or something!?"
"Look at the huge hole. They were blocked by the administration. Aren't all weapons thoroughly checked before coming here?"
"Then... someone made such a thing in this place!? Is that even possible?"
The commotion outside the restriction was heard by some soldiers who were tasked to clean up the place.
A soldier appeared and said, "Students are forbidden to approach this area. Return to your camp now. Staying here will qualify you for disqualification!"
Hearing such consequences the scouting teams could only return. They've reported to their team leaders what they had a scene and those who were smart enough could already guess what happened.
At Prince Regiulus Rigel's Camp.
After receiving the report, he let the scout return while he stayed in his camp with his aide.
His Aide asked, "My prince, what do you think happened?" as he saw his prince checking something on his communicator.
Once the screen showed Feng Jing's name on the KP list as top, he could mostly guess what already happened.
"How lucky are you really? Or is it really luck, Imperial Uncle?" murmured Prince Rigel.
Everyone who had checked the KP list like Prince Rigel had seen the glowing name of Feng Jing. As the team leader, his name signifies the team name itself. Seeing his name listed on the KP List everyone understood that it was the small team led by Feng Jing who caused the commotion in that deserted area. With this everyone started their own calculations, since there is already someone who entered KP List means that even before the Middle region completely opens as long one is able to kill a zerg that point would be recorded.
In short, one is able to enter the middle region as long as they reach the following requirements for this. Because of this event, those who had already collected enough resources were thinking of entering the middle region to get ahead with KP points among the others. While those who haven't gotten enough resources yet had hastened their hunting and collection so they could enter the next region faster than someone else's group. This is after all a competition.
