“Is this the Bridge?” asked Jiang Fei as he walked around the inside the the s.h.i.+p.

To be honest, this piece of the s.h.i.+p was not as large as others but it was still large. To put it in perspective, it was similar to a three-storey building. It was approximately fifteen meters tall and thirty meters long. It was like a small room when compared to the laboratory at the size of over a hundred meter.

“Yes, Captain. This is the Bridge of Braveheart. You must not judge its importance solely based on its size. This is but the most important part of the s.h.i.+p as it is also the core of the s.h.i.+p!”

“Hmm…”

Jiang Fei had thought that the core of the s.h.i.+p was the Main Engine since everything relied on the power from the Main Engine room!

“Hoho. Your thoughts are not wrong. However, the importance lies in the Data Center!” said 0541.

The Data Center or its full designation: Information and Data Collection and Storage Center, was the main body of 0541 as it was the support artificial intelligence system of the s.h.i.+p. Even though 0541 had been a helpful hand to Jiang Fei and did many wondrous feats, the ring on Jiang Fei's finger was just a portable terminal of the main Data Center. As it was small and portable, many of 0541's function was limited to a certain extent.

Once 0541 was linked back to its main body, many functions would be unlocked and other features of the ring would be greatly upgraded.

“Please. The most important part of the s.h.i.+p is you!” said Jiang Fei as it pretended to praise 0541.

“Captain sir, the knowledge of Earth is considered as primitive when it comes to technology. Every machinery relies heavily on each part. In planet Namek, hardware technology had advanced to the point of singularity. The s.h.i.+p's main body, engine room, weaponry, and many other parts were so advanced that there was hardly anywhere that could be improved. However, s.h.i.+ps with similar advanced technology were only limited to a few hundred,” said 0541.

“Hmm? Didn't you mention before that only Braveheart had the latest most advanced engine that could escape the gravitational pull of a black hole?” asked Jiang Fei.

“The engine is of the latest technology. However, the main reason the s.h.i.+p had escaped successfully was because of my precise calculations. Without a proper route, no one could escape the gravitational pull of a black hole. Not even photons,” said 0541.

“I understand. So, I was right after all! The most powerful thing in this s.h.i.+p isn't the Engine Room or the weapons! It was you all along!”

“That's right! Captain's intelligence had seemed to increase!” said 0541. Its speech had become more human-like as it linked with the Data Center.

“Right… Well. Let's not waste any more time here. Let's get this s.h.i.+p rolling!” said Jiang Fei.

“Hold on, sir. It has been too long since the Data Center and I had synced our data. The synchronization process will take a long time. Might I suggest that you stay overnight in the Bridge? I will be able to perform better after the synchronization is complete.”

“Hmm. Alright then,” said Jiang Fei. To be honest, Jiang Fei had wanted to see any immediate changes when he obtained the Data Center. Since he needed to synchronize first, it was better to wait patiently since there was nothing else he could do.

Now that he had obtained the Bridge, Jiang Fei stopped his plans on searching for other parts of the s.h.i.+p. After taking the Bridge, 0541 would still need to a.s.sist Jiang Fei to return to the surface of the sea. This would inevitably use up the power reserves. It was best to retreat and recuperate after this. If 0541 was out of power, he would be the one that would be facing troubles and dangers.

Anything else should come after Jiang Fei had found a source of energy for 0541. Even if he could not, he wanted 0541 to craft out the perfect martial skills for Jiang Fei as soon as possible. The Bio-Potion was also almost completed and after he had increased his own strength, Jiang Fei could safely search for more power and other s.h.i.+p parts.

As soon as 0541 was synced to the s.h.i.+p's Data Center, it remained dormant. Jiang Fei had immediately found himself alone in the empty Bridge. He then sat down on the captain's chair and stared at the huge empty screen. It was supposed to be the screen where all information about the s.h.i.+p as well as the headings. Since the Bridge was separated from all of its other parts, the screen was black.

“Wow… A real s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p!” said Jiang Fei as it suddenly hit him. There were many b.u.t.tons and switches on the control panel. Even though there was no power, Jiang Fei did not dare to press any of them. It was alien technology after all. Unlike human technology, his understanding of common logic would not apply here. If he accidentally broke one of the switches, or worse, activated the self-destruct sequence, Jiang Fei could be in trouble.

Even though 0541 was dormant, a few functions of the ring was still useable. Jiang Fei withdrew some food and beverages and enjoyed his dinner in the captain's seat. With nothing else to do but examining the Bridge, he immediately felt bored. There were a thousand and one things around that Jiang Fei dared not touch hence, he got bored after he was done looking around. He thought of practicing his martial skills but everything in the s.h.i.+p looked very delicate. He feared that if his movement was too rough, he might accidentally break something. For better or worse, Jiang Fei sat down and tried to sleep.

Alas, after a few hours of waiting, it was time to log into the game.

“That's odd. How are you so punctual today?” asked Isabella as she a.s.sumed that Jiang Fei would be late again.

“Haha! I just couldn't wait to see you again!” said Jiang Fei as he laughed.

“Hmph! Poppyc.o.c.k!” Isabella roared but her face failed to hide her true feelings. She could not help but hide her face as she was blus.h.i.+ng madly. To point it out, it was the first time Jiang Fei said something so straightforward.

“Hehe,” Jiang Fei laughed along. He had no idea why he said something like that.

The truth was Jiang Fei had just experienced a life-or-death situation. Although he had gotten away scot-free, the impact of it was severe. In Jiang Fei's case, he felt more open to his feelings. He felt that he no longer needed to hide what he thought. Moreover, he felt no need to think too much about things, mainly about the fact that Isabella was just an artificial intelligence program. To be fair, Jiang Fei's thoughts had changed. Subconsciously, Jiang Fei had changed but naturally, he did not realize it.

“Let's go talk to Frizt!” said Jiang Fei.

“Okay,” said Isabella, still avoiding his eyes since she was still blus.h.i.+ng.

It was not hard to locate Frizt since he was the Demolition General. He would be inside the fortress where all the bombs, explosives, and cannons would be. Jiang Fei walked along the walls of the fortress and quickly found Frizt.

“General Frizt, I hear that you are looking for me,” said Jiang Fei after he had saluted him.

“Hm. That's right. I heard that you had helped Heinz and solved many crucial problems. I have high hopes for you! I have something for you to do” said Frizt as he was also very friendly to Jiang Fei. Heinz and Frizt were not pure-blooded Nephilims. Even though they were strong, they were considered to be lower than any pureblood Nephilims such as Jiang Fei and Ivan. Hence, even though he outranked Jiang Fei by many tiers, he had still talked to Jiang Fei with the highest of respect.
