Chapter 260: The Truth That Hurts People
Speaking of which, the camp of ordinary star thieves is not as orderly as that of Zarif Star.
The monitoring and warning network here, as well as the construction of civil engineering, were organized by the four heaven-level regiments.
At the beginning, when the pioneer group used this place as a nest for management, planning and construction, it was very methodical.
It is not only convenient for living and defense, but also beware of others from stealing their own pioneering achievements.
According to Mu Guoguo, when it was first built, in order to prevent accidents, the pioneer groups also left some escape passages.
However, the attack of the Star Thieves was too sudden, some of the pioneers were captured, and some escaped through the secret tunnels.
So these secret passages are basically exposed, and if you want to sneak in through the secret passages, it is impossible.
Some of the secret passages were blocked by the star thieves, and some were not, but maybe the star thieves kept them for fishing.
There have been instances of this kind of people trying to sneak in through a secret passage, but they were guarded by star thieves.
Qu Jianlei got these news from Head Mu, so now he is outside the core area.
Outside the core area, it is also the actual control area of the star thieves, but the management is relatively not so strict, so it can be said that it is mixed.
This is a place where the aborigines live, and there are some production areas, and there must be spies from the pioneer group here.
However, the Star Thieves let this area exist, which is necessary for development and growth.
If you want to develop the resources of this planet as soon as possible, you can't do without the support of indigenous people.
The core area is not allowed to be entered by the indigenous people, so there needs to be a buffer area for effective communication and management.
To put it more realistically, the star thieves have sprinkled a large number of spies and eyeliner outwards, and they also need a relatively secret place to communicate.
Qu Jianlei knew where the flagpole should go to report the situation, but he didn't rush to go, but found a hotel to live in first.
After opening the room, he slept first, and in the afternoon, he came to a bar called "Wenyun".
When the pioneer group was there, there were many bars.
The team members live a bloody life all day long, and they really need to relax in their leisure time, and it can even be said that they just need it.
This kind of place is also the most suitable place for exchanging information.
Qu Jianlei ordered a large glass of fruit wine, a plate of dried fruits, and chose an unmanned table to sit down.
Immediately afterwards, he put the wine glass upside down on the table, and put two dried fruits in the shallow recess of the wine glass.
Then he took a large glass of fruit wine and took a sip.
The wine glass is the size of a liter, and he holds it steadily, anyway, he doesn't need the small wine glass of about 200 milliliters.
After drinking for about ten minutes, a short man walked over, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and a strong smell of alcohol on his body.
Seeing the two dried fruits in the shallow recess at the bottom of the wine glass, the man's eyes lit up slightly, and he sat next to Qu Jianlei.
The man whispered, and the smell of wine came to his face, "What kind of information do you want?" ”
It's a place where information can be bought and sold, and the Star Thieves acquiesce to this.
The flagpole that Qu Jianlei posed as had also bought and sold intelligence in similar places.
However, the information he sells must be already in the possession of the star thief, and he is allowed to sell it.
As for the information that was bought...... Usually he spends his own money and it is impossible to apply for reimbursement.
As a spy, you also need to buy intelligence? Not to mention, there is really such a demand.
The flagpole regularly reports information to the top, and his performance is evaluated from above.
It is impossible for the spies who are released to supervise the star thieves, but they will not let themselves go, and it is normal to have assessments.
For a period of time, if the spies cannot provide quality and quantity information, they will be considered "lazy" or even "dereliction of duty".
But the emergence of such a thing as intelligence...... It's very random, and it doesn't mean that if there is, it will definitely be available.
The flagpole is not even a transformation warrior, and its status among the star thieves is extremely low.
Once he fails to meet the assessment, he will encounter very severe punishment - as an ordinary person, he will not even have a chance to defend himself.
Therefore, it is necessary for the flagpole to find out the way to buy information.
In fact, he had done this before, and it seemed that he could guess that his information was not original, but bought.
But the above didn't care, and chose to turn a blind eye - they had already bought intelligence at their own expense, so it was really not that they didn't work hard.
Therefore, Qu Jianlei's current behavior, even if it is seen through, it doesn't matter.
He glanced at the drunken man and said very dryly, "I need information from the pioneer regiment." ”
"Isn't that nonsense?" The man muttered in a low voice, picked up a few dried fruits and threw them into his mouth.
"Those who come to buy intelligence are either raiders or pioneers...... Let's put it in detail. ”
Qu Jianlei replied quietly, "Who said that it is only possible to buy the intelligence of these two parties, do you understand it?" ”
The man laughed when he heard this, and said disappreciably, "Yohe, it's still a person in the industry......
He knew what the other party was referring to, "I'm not interested in inquiring into other miscellaneous things...... Which regiment do you want to buy? ”
Qu Jianlei pondered and asked, "Is there any information on the movements of the heaven-level group?" ”
"Yohe~" The man's eyes lit up slightly, and then he laughed again, "It seems to be a big customer." ”
Then, he looked Qu Jianlei up and down, "But if you say something offensive...... It doesn't look like you can afford it. ”
Qu Jianlei's makeup is very ordinary, and this outfit is also in line with the character of the flagpole - where do ordinary people have so much money?
He bowed slightly, "It's true, I don't have much money, but I still want to buy intelligence, do you have any suggestions?" ”
Seeing that he didn't eat the agitation method, the short man shook his head, "If you don't have money, what do you say?" Let's go. ”
He staggered away, and Qu Jianlei didn't care, let alone stop the other party.
There were a few people in the bar who took this scene to heart.
Qu Jianlei sat until dinner, and after drinking a large glass of fruit wine, no one came to ask.
He was not in a hurry, he ordered a meal and ate it haphazardly, asked for a large glass of fruit wine, and continued to wait there.
There is a gap between the afternoon and night sessions, and there are corresponding rules for the actions of the intelligence traffickers.
In the afternoon, if someone sells intelligence and does not reach a deal, the sensible person will not go up again to solicit business, so as not to be suspected of dumping at a low price.
After all, this is an industry that pays great attention to taboos, and those ignorant stunned young people have long been buried.
Soon after the night show began, someone came over again, but unfortunately it was still not negotiated.
Qu Jianlei was not in a hurry, waited until it was close to midnight and left, and went to the hotel to rest.
This kind of thing is in a hurry, and he plans to keep it for another day the next day, and change the venue if there is no harvest yet.
Unexpectedly, less than ten minutes after returning to the hotel, someone knocked on the door.
Star thieves are cruel and murderous in predation, but they generally pay more attention to order in the land they operate.
Qu Jianlei already knew who was outside, so he stepped forward and opened the door.
Outside the door was a middle-aged woman with five big and three thick, carrying a bag in her hand.
After seeing Qu Jianlei, she was slightly stunned at first, and then nodded, "I heard that you want to buy information, talk about it in the house?" ”
"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded and let the person in.
After closing the door, he walked back into the house, "What do you want to drink, drink or wine?" ”
"Let's get down to business," the woman sat down in her chair and squeaked the wooden chair.
She looked Qu Jianlei up and down, and said very dryly, "I know you...... You're going to complete the exam, right? ”
Qu Jianlei was really stunned, and after thinking about it, he replied, "I'm ...... What the hell, who would dare to earn this money? ”
Although he is an ordinary person, as a long-term spy, his level of secrecy is not low.
Obviously, his relevant information was leaked, and the other party would be so straightforward.
So even if this woman is a reformed warrior, he is just an ordinary person, but the seizure is still a seizure.
"Don't take yourself too seriously," the middle-aged woman pouted disdainfully, "You can be a spy because you're ordinary enough." ”
It's the big truth, but it's the truth...... It's very hurtful.
When Qu Jianlei heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
But the next moment, he still said forcefully, "I'm sorry, I'll react to this above...... It's too bad. ”
The middle-aged woman didn't care, "I dare to say, I'm not afraid that you will report, are you sure your boss is not involved?" ”
Qu Jianlei was stunned again, "My boss...... Involved? I'll report that too. ”
"Whatever you want," the woman became more and more casual, "but you'd better think about what the consequences would have been if I hadn't lied to you." ”
After a pause, she spoke again, "If it wasn't for your identity, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you to sell information." ”
For this reason, the persuasive power is not ordinarily strong.
Knowing that he didn't have any money, he still had to come to the door to sell information, and the two sides met for the first time...... It doesn't make sense at all, right?
Qu Jianlei froze again, and after a while, he smiled bitterly, "Can you still operate like this?" ”
The middle-aged woman replied disapprerovingly, "This is how rare and strange you are, and there is a high probability that information will be repeated, right?" ”
Qu Jianlei nodded, "That's right." ”
"It's not a loss to pay some money to buy an assessment to pass the test, others ...... No one, including your boss, would be too much money, right? ”
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly, "The words are true, but I always feel that my heart is a little weird." ”
"After all, you're still too weak," the middle-aged woman didn't mind his reaction, "how much information are you going to buy?" ”
She didn't ask the other party's choice at all, and her contempt was overflowing - I'm going to eat you.
However, the role played by Qu Jianlei really has no other choice, this is the sadness of ordinary people.
He pondered for a while, then smiled bitterly, "Forget it, just spend money to buy peace." ”
"But I don't really have much money, a hundred silver dollars...... I want to buy messages that are not too repeated. ”
