I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Finally, after half a month, Su Ze finished fusing the two skills.

The ”Space Jump” skill was still Tier Eight. After all, a Tier Nine skill wasn’t so easy to level up; it was impossible to reach Tier Nine just by fusing a Quasi-Divine Skill into it.

The ”Space Jump” skill’s current name no longer seemed appropriate, so Su Ze renamed it ”Space Travel.”

Space Travel (Tier Eight Divine Skill): Allows the user to ignore terrain, traveling and jumping rapidly through space. The user can also swap positions with clones or active body parts.

By successfully simplifying again, Su Ze reduced his number of skills by one.

He got up and left his room, discovering that the spaceship had already landed on Zexing, though it was parked in an uninhabited area.

Mr. Ya and the Pope were currently working furiously to repair the other spaceship, the Nebula.

The Moon God-level Spaceship had been rammed several times by the Magic Cube, leaving multiple dents on its surface. Fortunately, it was all superficial damage, fixable with some ”bodywork and a new coat of paint.”

By now, the two of them had nearly finished repairing the Nebula.

”Master.” Seeing Su Ze, the Pope approached him. ”The Nebula has quite a few extra installations, including a Tier Eight Ray Cannon and a Star-Catching Net. Should we remove them and install them on the Magic Cube?”

Su Ze’s spirits lifted. ’A Tier Eight Ray Cannon and a Star-Catching Net?’

That was some good stuff. He hadn’t expected that Bag Race couple to be willing to invest so much in their spaceship.

But on second thought, it made sense. A craftsman must first sharpen his tools. How could you go around robbing people in the cosmos without good equipment?

Su Ze had previously considered adding some installations to the Beggar’s Edition Magic Cube, so he’d looked into it.

However, after doing his research, he found that he looked down on everything he could afford, and couldn’t afford anything he looked up to.

Of course, that was the old Su Ze. Now that he had received the Bag Race couple’s inheritance and plundered a Bag Race Planet, he’d struck it rich.

The Ray Cannon was self-explanatory—an offensive weapon that could fire a ray attack comparable to a single strike from an ordinary Moon God-level expert. Simple and effective.

Su Ze was more interested in the Star-Catching Net.

The Star-Catching Net, as its name implied, was a net for catching stars.

But besides catching stars, it could also catch other things, like spaceships!

The Star-Catching Net could be called an essential Divine Artifact for Star Pirates. However, due to its high cost, ordinary Star Pirates couldn’t afford it and had to settle for second best: equipment that could interrupt a spaceship’s Space Jump.

A Tier Eight Star-Catching Net could even capture a Moon God-level Spaceship!

It was a good thing Su Ze’s Magic Cube was a Sun God-level Spaceship; otherwise, if caught by a Tier Eight Star-Catching Net, there would be no escape. The only option would be to disembark and fight.

”Install them. Of course we’re installing these goodies!” Su Ze said without hesitation.

With this, his Magic Cube was finally no longer the Beggar’s Edition.

Although a Sun God-level Spaceship like the Magic Cube should technically be fitted with Tier Nine components to be worthy of its status, conditions were limited for now. Tier Eight would have to do.

Even if he were given a Tier Nine Star-Catching Net, he wouldn’t dare to just go around trying to net other Sun God-level Spaceships. If he provoked a Sun God expert, he wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.

At Su Ze’s command, the Pope immediately sprang into action. He quickly removed a whole pile of components from the Nebula and installed them onto the Magic Cube.

Gazing at the Magic Cube, which had traded its sparrow’s gun for a cannon, Su Ze familiarized himself with the functions of the new components.

Besides the Ray Cannon and the Star-Catching Net, there was also jamming equipment to block an enemy ship’s distress signals, a spatial resistance device to interrupt a ship’s Space Jump...

Su Ze suddenly realized he had assembled the complete Star Pirate kit.

His Magic Cube had transformed into a pirate ship.

’Is this fate, trying to hint at something?’ Su Ze fell into deep thought.

Next, the three of them returned to the Zexing base. With Su Ze’s first foray into space having ended in a successful return, the mid-to-high-level leadership at the base held a small celebration.

After all, to them, the universe was still shrouded in a thick veil of mystery. Even Star Gods like Lin Hua had never had the chance to venture out and see it for themselves.

Su Ze was like their pioneer in cosmic exploration. His safe return proved that humans could indeed operate in the universe, as long as they took the proper precautions.

Su Ze called a meeting with the high-level leadership to share all his experiences from the trip, satisfying their curiosity about the universe.

When they heard about everything Su Ze had experienced on this one trip—killing a Moon God far above his level and even plundering a planet—they were all stunned.

If they hadn’t been familiar with Su Ze’s personality and his legendary track record, they would have suspected he was bragging.

Now, even those like Lin Hua and Old Waller, who didn’t know Su Ze as well, were completely and utterly convinced.

No wonder that, among all the Star Gods, he was the one to gain Senior Mr. Ao’s approval, receive the inheritance, and become the master of Zexing. The man was a true trouble-magnet!

If it had been them on their first cosmic exploration, they would have been extremely cautious, trying their best not to attract attention or get into any conflicts.

Upon discovering the Bag Race stall owner was a fraud, they would have kept their distance, and naturally, all the subsequent trouble would have been avoided.

But in doing so, they would have also lost the chance to strike it rich.

So this was how the gap between a genius and a prodigy was formed.

After that, Su Ze inquired about the development of Zexing, affirmed everyone’s contributions and hard work, and distributed rewards based on merit, issuing contribution points to several key contributors.

They could use these contribution points to exchange for the resources they wanted.

On his trip, Su Ze had also traded for many resources of Tier Seven and above, greatly enriching Zexing’s resource repository.
