A week later, the power room.

"Captain! I don't want to go out! I can't do that! ”

Ba Jia stiffened his neck and objected to Su Wolf. The conversation between him and the werewolf had been going on for half an hour, and to everyone's surprise, Bajia, who usually seemed timid and fearful, had an exceptionally resolute and tough attitude today.

"Ba Jia, I've made all the stakes clear to you, and you're still resolutely unwilling," Su Wolf looked at the eyes of the power room maintenance worker, knowing in his heart that what he said was all the truth. "And what is the reason for your refusal?"

Ba Jia shook his head involuntarily and said, "There's no reason, I just won't get off the boat!" As long as you don't let me out of this sail, you can toss as much as you want! ”

Wei Busi, who was accompanying Su Wolf, saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and said with a smile: "In this way, Ba Jia, we already know what you think, we are not in a hurry to make a conclusion about this matter today, you will think about it after you go back, and I will discuss it again with the captain." ”

After Wei Busi spoke, Ba Jia lowered his gaze and said nothing with a tense expression. The others looked at it and didn't understand his attitude - there was no need to talk about it at all.

Although Su Wolf didn't expect this trip to be so unsmooth, he didn't have the heart to force the crew to do anything. After reaching out and patting Bajia on the shoulder, he nodded and said, "Since you are so unwilling, then I will not force it." Don't talk about the content of this conversation with other people for now, and then I'll think about other candidates. ”

Listening to the captain's relief, Ba Jia's tense expression was finally relieved, and when the werewolf and Wei Busi were about to leave, he suddenly thought of one thing, and left the two of them: "When Boss Tong was still alive, I once heard him chat with the original crew and mentioned one thing, there is an empty shell mercenary group in Jinglongxing, and there is only one old man in the whole regiment as the leader. ”

"Oh?" After hearing Ba Jia's words, Su Wolf turned around with interest and asked, "You mean he can help us?" ”

"Yes, this mercenary group seems to have encountered something wrong in the early years, and in the end, the old man is left alone." Ba Jia opened his mouth to explain, "At that time, I heard Boss Tong say that this old man has no combat effectiveness, and can only rely on the shell of the mercenary group to take over the business in the Jinglongxing mercenary hall, and then subcontract the business to people who are not qualified to take on the task. ”

"This can't happen, right?" Wei Busi interjected when he heard this, "The staff in the mercenary hall are not stupid, isn't this ruining the reputation of their Jinglongxing mercenary hall?" ”

"It's strange here, no one cares!" Ba Jia shook his head and replied, "Otherwise, how could Boss Tong come back and talk to everyone about it as an interesting matter?" However, at that time, we temporarily went to Jinglongxing for the mercenary task, and it was hearsay about this empty shell mercenary group. Captain, I mean, since we can't find an innocent person to register for the mercenary group, we might as well take over the mission from this old man. ”

Su Wolf thought for a moment and asked Ba Jia, "Where is this Jinglong Star?" ”

Bajia bowed his head and replied in a deep voice, "Hmm... It's not too far, and after we leave the maintenance port of the Starwind Hunters, we will fly east for about a week. ”

After hearing the other party's explanation, Wei Busi's eyebrows flashed next to him, and he smiled and said tentatively: "Ba Jia, you have a good understanding of star maps, even if I know the place, I may not be able to calculate the arrival time so quickly." Before you came to the power room for maintenance, did you also work as a navigator or a captain or something? ”

"No, no." At this time, Bajia had returned to that state of resignation, "This is just a vague concept that has been flying in the universe for many years, and it has naturally formed." And this Jinglong Star is not a small place, in addition to being the residence of some small mercenary groups, isn't the famous Jinglong mercenary group also stationed there. ”

"That's right, in addition to the district star, this Jinglong star can also be regarded as the top ten in the Qinglong District." Wei Bu nodded noncommittally and moved his gaze to Su Wolf. "Then after we finish repairing the Sailing, we will go to this old man? If nothing else, we're going to have to deal with him for a long time. ”

"That's the plan." Su Wolf decided quickly, nodded at the two people in the power room, "We have no financial resources, and if we don't take on the task, it will be easy to sit empty, and..."

"Captain has a situation!" Before he finished speaking, Mu Yang in the command cabin conveyed a warning through the loudspeaker, "In the direction of azimuth 172 and elevation 230, there are two fleets fighting, captain, how can we... Hey, hey! ”

"Hong Yun! One of these fleets is our ally, the Black Feather Mercenary Regiment! With a noisy push, Qiao Shuai's voice squeezed in stiffly, "Let's go and help, as long as you are willing to help, I will promise you a good reward for them!" ”

"! Go aside! Mu Yang, who pushed Qiao Shuai away, approached the microphone angrily and said, "I think we should withdraw, there are still three days away from the maintenance port of the Starwind Hunter Regiment, and we don't have time to waste here!" ”

"How can it be called blind consumption? Don't forget that the maintenance port is..."

Doodoooooo –

In the midst of the quarrel between you and me, the communication horn was turned off without knowing it, and there was a beep of the signal hanging up. Su Wolf frowned for a while, then opened his mouth and ordered to the subordinates beside him: "Ba Jia, you stay here and prepare for maintenance." Wei Busi, let's go to the command cabin first. ”

"No!" Seeing that it was time to get down to business, the expressions of the two became serious.

When Ba Jia started to get busy, Su Wolf also took Wei Busi and walked quickly towards the command cabin. Looking at the captain's silent and stern expression, Wei Busi seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the silence between the two to be broken by the werewolf: "The frequency of situations in this extraterritorial land is too high, and the same is true of the situation you know in the past?" ”

"Yes, the chances of encountering this kind of thing in Qinglong District are quite high." Wei Busi nodded and replied, "Interstellar pirate robbery, enemy fighting, family infighting, these situations can reach your ears almost every day. In the final analysis, because of the lack of military strength of the empire, we were already relatively free in the Eastern Outer Regions before, and when we arrived in this extraterritorial land, as long as we didn't die by ourselves, we couldn't see the regular army of the empire most of the time. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Busi took the opportunity to say what he didn't say just now: "Captain, the decision to save Qiao Shuai and the three of them was because it was only a few E-class hyenas that pursued them. But this time is different, the two fleets are fighting, and our sail is not qualified to participate, so you must consider it carefully. ”

After hearing Wei Busi's suggestion, Su Wolf turned his head to look at her, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, after the incident of Yangfan Star, I will never do anything that I am not sure of." ”

Wei Busi rolled her eyes unconsciously after hearing this, if she had a choice, she didn't want to pin her safety on the captain's strength at all, although this Su wolf was talented, it was impossible to have an accurate judgment of her own strength every time like when she rescued the Shuai Taimei trio.

While thinking about it, Wei Busi cautiously suggested: "Captain, I think it's best to discuss something, and if you listen to everything, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, you will be dark." ”

In the face of Wei Busi's admonition, Su Wolf asked without looking back: "Wei Busi, I chose to communicate with you for the first time in many things, and in some cases, even Mu Yang and Yue Lan are not as clear as you, do you know why?" ”

Wei Busi frowned and thought about it, and replied uncertainly, "Could it be because... Am I capable? ”

"That's just one aspect, but the most important thing is that I know pretty much everything about you." Su Wolf's answer was a little unexpected for Wei Busi, "You have basically lived around the East Eighteen Star in your life, your family belongs to an inconspicuous branch of the Wei family, and your father's greatest reliance during his lifetime is his life-saving friendship with the high-level of the Dragon Tooth Army." In addition, you have excellent personal ability, decisiveness and ideas, but you know the rules and regulations. ”

"Compared with Zhang Zhen, Ba Jia, Bailu and Baiying and others, my comprehensive ability is stronger, and my rejection of me is also the lowest." In the end, Su Wolf stopped and looked directly at Wei Busi, "Mu Yang Yuelan, I can naturally trust it, it is the friendship that has been tried in the dog fighting arena, but if you want to be a captain, you can't rely on the two of them alone." ”

"I—" Wei Busi's eyes widened, not expecting the captain to say such a thing.

"Trust is mutual, I chose to trust you, and naturally I will try to gain your trust." Su Wolf smiled, patted her on the shoulder and concluded, "On this ship, you will definitely be the one who knows the most of my secrets, so don't worry about me being arbitrary." ”
