The so-called human nature is nothing more than seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

In the face of the tremendous pressure of survival, morality, justice, and faith are like charcoal fires in the wind, quickly fading their brilliance and giving way to the lowest needs of human nature.

Everyone has an instinct to conform to the herd, and under the guidance of this instinct, the more people there are, the more so.

Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to blackmail, and the residents in the cabin gradually tended to accept it in order to survive when they had no more choices. However, when Wang Ling took out his gun and kidnapped Zhang Yuan, everyone immediately had a new choice.

In this option, they simply turn a blind eye to certain morals and immediately qualify for survival in the least costly way.

It is clear that in this choice, the morality of fair trade is instantly crushed into powder.

Ali Delan was in a hurry, he knew Zhang Yuan better than everyone else, he knew that Zhang Yuan was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface, and even Lord Marlan couldn't see through him.

Such a guy can be easily hijacked by someone? Don't be funny!

He waved his arms and said loudly, "Wang Ling, do you know what you're doing?" If Mr. Zhang is not willing to help, do you think he can force him to obey with a gun? ”

"Mouthy coward!"

Wang Ling suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun and pulled the launch button towards Ali Delan's thigh, and a light blue energy beam flashed, shooting directly at Ali Delan's thigh.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan, who had not moved, suddenly stretched out his hand, and his arm happened to block the path of the energy beam.

"Bang~" The flames splashed, the energy beam disappeared, and a layer of glass-like luster appeared on the surface of Zhang Yuan's body, and after flickering for about 2 seconds, this luster disappeared again, and his arm was not damaged at all.

Wang Ling was shocked and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun to continue shooting at Zhang Yuan.

As a result, before his fingers could push the button, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and then he felt a numbness in his wrist, and then he saw that his energy gun had fallen into Zhang Yuan's hand.

"Hehe, the gun is a good gun, but it's a pity that the people who use it don't have good brains."

Zhang Yuan played with the gun for a while, and then pinned the energy gun to his waist: "Ali Delan, how is the property situation of this Wang Ling's family?" ”

Ali Delan felt sweat on his forehead, he reached out to wipe it, and said: "He is the son of the chairman of a company that produces heat-resistant alloy materials, and he himself owns about 4% of the company's original shares, which are worth about 3.7 billion star shields." ”

"3.7 billion? Well, not bad. Zhang Yuan nodded again and again, and said to Wang Ling: "You tried to kill me just now, I am very unhappy. So you have two choices, either give me 3.7 billion to buy my life, or I will retaliate and shoot you too. What do you think? ”

Wang Ling is not a kind of master, as soon as the energy gun is snatched away, he is empty, hearing Zhang Yuan say this, his face immediately turned iron-blue, but he has not exploded, after being silent for about 3 seconds, he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't kill me, you will definitely regret it in the future!" ”

"So you mean, you're willing to give money?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Humph!" Wang Ling turned his head away from Zhang Yuan.

"Haha, yes, yes, those who know the times are junjie." Zhang Yuan was not angry at all, in his eyes, this young man was no different from a toddler, and he naturally would not be angry with a baby.

With a wave of his hand, asking Wang Ling to step back, Zhang Yuan turned around and continued: "Do you think there is a problem with the way I handled it just now?" ”

No one answered.

Zhang Yuan nodded to the white-haired old man: "Tell me about it." ”

The old man smiled awkwardly: "No problem..... Hehe...... It's very fair. ”

His own life is in the hands of the other party, and the other party can't hijack it, how can people refute his words? Isn't this bullying?

Zhang Yuan raised his voice again: "As for me, I'm not greedy." Each of you, just give me 98% of your wealth, and I'll help you get through it! ”

Everyone has a bitter face, 98%, and they are not greedy, this face is really thick as a city wall, but no one stands up to refute it.

Because they have no other choice.

Zhang Yuan laughed and said to Ali Delan beside him: "Delan, I don't know much about the property situation of these people at present. So you help me with the statistics. Remember, don't be mistaken, if I find out that you miscalculated and let me take less money, then I will trouble you. ”

Aridran was in tears.

If he really did what Zhang Yuan said, he would offend everyone here today, many of the people here are his business partners, and some are still his connections in the political circles. His interstellar trade can get to this point, all thanks to mutual assistance and mutual benefit with these people, if he offends them, don't think about mixing them up in the future.

But if he didn't help Zhang Yuan make statistics, then he would greatly offend Zhang Yuan, looking at this guy's demeanor when he fired the gun, he was sure that this guy must be a ruthless person, and if he offended him, it was estimated that he would die.

After weighing it repeatedly, Alidran let out a long sigh and arched his hand to everyone in the cabin: "Everyone, I was also forced, and I will be offended today. ”

As soon as Alidran said this, several gray-haired old men in the crowd let out a long sigh, and the whole person was decadent.

Originally, I wanted to bully laymen and conceal property, but this young man came to do this, their means were useless, Ali Delan is like a monkey, and he is an insider, everyone has a general understanding of what the situation is, and they can't hide it from him at all.

Alidran grimaced and began to count the fortunes of the rich men one by one.

Zhang Yuan sat on the virtual turret, holding a glass of wine that old Tony had newly prepared for him, sipping it and drinking it happily, he said to old Tony: "Old man, your wine is authentic." You mixed me two glasses of wine, and I will charge you 2 million star shields less later. ”

The folds on Old Tony's face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he walked up to Zhang Yuan and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, if I help you check and fill in the gaps in Delan's account book later, what reward is there?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, then I'll make up 100 million for you!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Old Tony immediately patted his chest and promised: "Hey~ Then you can rest assured, my old Tony has been in the business world for 30 years and has seen the prosperity of the world." What kind of family background does this group of people have, and how much private money they hide. I'm all clear, you look at it, I'll definitely give you another 3 billion star shields later! ”

Zhang Yuan exclaimed: "Tsk, old guy, you are not afraid of being retaliated against by these guys in the future?" ”

Old Tony laughed: "What's so scary about this?" I have 100 million star shields, and I am still rich. They have nothing, I guess they're afraid of me, haha. ”

"These people are all heroes, and there will always be people who will make a comeback in the future."

"That's okay too. My old man doesn't have a few years to live, and when they make a comeback, I'm finished. ”

“......”

Zhang Yuan has seen it, this guy is really cunning!

About an hour later, Alidran came back with the ledger, and according to the statistics in the ledger, more than 600 wealthy people combined, the total property was 723.2 billion star shields, and by the way, they also brought 1.7 billion in cash, all of which were golden star shields used in large-scale interstellar settlements, one was one million star shields, a full 1,700, each of which shimmered with an alluring breath of pure spirit.

Then, Old Tony took the ledger and went around the crowd again, and when he came back, the number on the ledger became 733.9 billion star shields, an increase of 10 billion out of thin air.

Of course, old Tony instantly received countless hateful glances.

As for Zhang Yuan, spending 100 million costs and getting 10 billion benefits, no matter how you calculate it, it is a big profit.

Putting away the ledger and cash, Zhang Yuan smiled: "Everyone, I want to ask you, what is we most lacking now?" ”

"It's energy!" Old Tony immediately took Zhang Yuan's question.

"Yes, it's energy. Without the warmth of energy, we will be frozen into floating corpses in this cold and dark universe, and the life support system will fail, and the air, water, and food will all disappear. But now, given your generosity, I would like to share with you the energy I have. ”

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, Zhang Yuan raised his hand, and on his wrist was his spatial folding bracelet, he reached in, pulled out, and a boxy, dusty metal box fell out and fell to the ground.

This is the super energy core that Zhang Yuan created in order to escape from the Golden Heaven Domain, and there is about 39% of the energy left in it.

Everyone's eyes moved with the metal box, and when they saw the box, there was confusion in their eyes.

They spent more than 700 billion star shields to buy such a metal box? This is probably the most expensive box in Starlight.

"I know you're confused, and I know it's ugly, but I promise it won't let you down! The nightingale, adapted to the energy core. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan jumped down from the metal pole of the virtual gun carriage and quickly pressed a few times on a small control screen on the surface of the box, which he was adjusting the control chip on the energy core to assign connection permissions to the nightingale.

"Adapting to ......"

Under the control of the main control brain, a metal bracket was immediately raised on the ground to stabilize the energy core, and then several energy tubes were stretched out and connected to the energy output port, and about 3 minutes later, the nightingale came out.

"The adaptation is completed, new energy is detected, and the total amount of energy contained is 12 times that of the original energy core, and the current energy is extremely abundant!"

"Huh~~~~" Everyone in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief.

The energy in this small box turned out to be 12 times that of the original energy core, and this energy could not be more abundant.

The pressure of death dissipated in an instant, and everyone felt a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and as for the lost money, it didn't seem so difficult to accept in retrospect.

Zhang Yuan smiled on his face, and added at the right time: "Gentlemen, remember that although I don't have control over the nightingale, I can control the energy core. If something happens to me, the power core will self-destruct. ”

“......”

This sentence completely dispelled the dark thoughts in some people's minds.

Old Tony and Ali Delan both quietly gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up, Zhang Yuan, this guy, not only squeezed a huge amount of money, but also could sleep peacefully on the money, this method is really powerful!

"Huh?" Zhang Yuan's eyes were suddenly attracted by the hologram in the center of the cabin.

Alidran followed his gaze, and after a few seconds, he shuddered and almost collapsed to the ground.

On the hologram, a small white dot appears. This dot is about 1 light minute away from the spacecraft, and is on the edge of the display of the ship's hologram.

If you look closely at the appearance of the white dot, it is a warhawk battleship, and from the direction that the dot is chasing, it coincides with the fall of the Nightingale.

The situation is obvious, the bubble monster that was scattered before once again condensed and chased towards the spaceship.

But one thing is very strange, the speed of the ship is not fast, only 0.001C, but the warhawk has never chased after it, and has been following it not far away.
