Chapter 668 - Convincing or Not Convincing
Qu Jianlei said that he would only leave after repairing the armed merchant ships, purely to scare Xiaohu.
The big-headed butterfly was really frightened and didn't dare to speak again along the way.
Back in the mine, the second attack ship was about to be repaired, and it would be a day or two at most.
The one responsible for the maintenance is the doppelganger, and the intelligence is slightly worse, but it is not bad.
Qu Jianlei asked Xiaohu to test the first attack ship - after all, it went out for a run.
If there is no accident, they will leave for Lanyun Market in three days.
However, on the third day, both warships raised the alarm at the same time, "A call for help from a space wanderer!"
It's the survivors who had an accident on the starship and had to get into the survival pod to escape.
"A distress signal?" Qu Jianlei's brows furrowed slightly.
Before the crossing, he also encountered the problem of "whether to accept or not", but at that time he was already very rich and was not afraid at all.
Even after he experienced blackmail, he succeeded in sending the other party's children to step on the sewing machine.
But this place of the empire is more urine, and you don't know who you're going to save.
I saved the bad guy in Shenzhou, but I was blackmailed to ask for money, and I saved the wrong person here, it could be a fatal thing!
After a moment's silence, he asked, "How far is it from us?"
Xiaohu's soft voice sounded, "More than 1.1 million kilometers."
That's it! Qu Jianlei doesn't want to do much, this travel fee alone is a lot of money, what if someone else also receives the signal?
However, before he could speak, the big-headed butterfly's body turned, "It's coming in our direction."
The distress signal is actively released, and it is easy to be caught by people to catch the movement trajectory of the distress caller.
I'm really ...... Qu Jianlei was completely speechless, "Do you want to take refuge on this astral body?"
"Chances are," Xiaohu muttered softly, "It's written in the Space Distress Self-Rescue Guide."
The Guide teaches some common sense, for example, it is very lonely in space, and long-term drifting is not good for body and mind.
If you encounter danger in space, there is basically no way to avoid it.
However, the stars may not necessarily be safe, they may be poisonous or have alien beasts, and even the biggest danger - star thieves.
Only those stars that know the bottom line are the most reliable.
Obviously, the star that Qu Jianlei lives in meets the criteria.
Originally, it was a mineral star, and the air and rocks were very safe, but although they are now abandoned, the safety is better than space.
Qu Jianlei sighed, "Then save it, we can't let them really fall here."
The range of motion of the rescue capsule will be very limited, but what if it is a space mecha?
He had covered the mine well, and there was a concealment array inside, but why take the risk?
He groaned and asked, "How are the two attack ships inspected?"
"Perfect," replied Lake in the affirmative, "now we can go...... Which ship to use?"
"8384," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "The computing power is also strong, don't you like it?"
Xiaohu hesitated and spoke, "Actually, I prefer 3344, and it feels bad that I can't outrun people."
Co-authoring it also feels this way.
While chatting, Qu Jianlei slipped out of the armed merchant ship, and then did not forget to open the concealment array.
To be honest, if someone steals these belongings now, he will really feel distressed to death.
The armed merchant ship quickly took to the air, and in order to prevent hidden dangers, it also made a big circle, pretending to be coming from other directions.
When approaching the other party's 100,000 kilometers, Qu Jianlei breathed a sigh of relief, "Good guy, it's actually a lifeboat?"
The lifeboat is a large rescue cabin, which can take more than one person, and has a certain amount of power and materials.
The other party was obviously prepared for a long battle, and actually turned off the engine of the lifeboat, trying to rely on
Reach the abandoned star by inertia.
So when he found the other party, even if it was a big circle, the lifeboat was still 900,000 kilometers away from his lair.
But it's a shame that I didn't let this guy go, otherwise the lifeboat still has a small amount of power, and I really don't know what kind of moth it can make.
Qu Jianlei released an attack ship and quickly approached 50,000 kilometers away from this guy.
"Is that your distress signal?"
"It's us," a man's voice replied, "save us, and we'll be thanked!"
"Speak well!" Qu Jianlei replied bluntly, asking for someone has to look like asking for someone, and he still dares to use the imperative sentence?
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency," the man said with kindness, and immediately became humble, "Thank you for saving us!"
Qu Jianlei felt a little strange in his heart, what kind of people are this?
In interstellar travel, it is not necessarily good to ask for help, but it is not necessarily good to save people.
"Ask us for help? Didn't you notice that it's an attack ship approaching you right now?"
"That means your power is great," the man replied without humility or arrogance, "and we are relieved."
At this time, the person in charge of communication will definitely not have enough brains, so the other party is either pretending to be a beep, or a real cow beep.
Qu Jianlei didn't bother to think about which one it was, "Sit down, don't react in any way, the attack ship will take you into the cabin."
Attack ships also have mechanical arms, the very small kind, but it is easy to catch a lifeboat that has not been started.
Then grabbing the lifeboat, he went into the cargo hold - that's right, the armed merchant ship has a cargo hold.
The cargo hold is not too large, and there are two attack ships in it, and they are not at all in a state where they can eject and attack at any time.
However, the lifeboat was so small that it was casually stuffed.
Jian Lei walked out of the assault ship, "Alright, you can rest for a while."
There were seven people coming down from the lifeboat, four men and three women, and the first one was a middle-aged man with a B-grade stone attribute.
He looked at Qu Jianlei curiously, and a solemn look appeared on his face, "The attack ship, was it driven by Your Excellency alone?"
The other party is mediocre, and he belongs to the kind of person who can't be found if he throws it into the pile.
But he knows very well that the more such people are, the more they cannot be underestimated, especially in the asteroid belt.
In addition, he could vaguely feel that the other party was like a strange beast with a hidden breath, and there was a huge potential threat.
Qu Jianlei ignored his question, on my starship, do you want to dominate the topic?
He said very bluntly, "Let's talk about it first, how much is the money?"
"Your Excellency," the middle-aged man was very happy, "if you can send us to the Heavenly Handle Star, I will give you 10 million."
Ten million for seven people is higher than Xiangxue's life-saving price of one million.
However, there is a cost to interstellar travel, and if you count the return voyage, it can only be said that the money given by the other party is not small.
"No," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "We just save you, or send you?"
"Twelve million," the man said without hesitation, "if you don't think it's enough, you make an offer."
There's no way my starship can land on the Heavenly Handle Star, okay? Qu Jianlei was a little helpless.
Of course, if the other party dares to make such a price, the value will not be bad, and the possibility of hiding clumsiness cannot even be ruled out.
After all, there are too many hidden dangers in this vast space, and it is safer not to show your wealth.
But it is conceivable that he can drive the starship to the galaxy where the Tianshan Star is located, and the other party will most likely be able to arrange the starship to pick it up.
Therefore, it is actually normal for the Anti-Smuggling Department to work in it, and he has really affected other people's industries.
But he wouldn't talk about it like that, in fact, he didn't plan to get used to the other party.
"It's not about the money, so let's see if you're going to that abandoned mineral astral body, and I'll send you to a million?"
"No," the middle-aged man shook his head busily, the reason why they chose that one
Astral bodies, because there is no choice.
After landing on the star, you have to wait for the passing starship to rescue you, do you have a ready-made one in front of you?
The point is that it's hard to say whether there is a starship passing by or not!
Qu Jianlei will calculate the cost of the rescue, and other starships will also calculate the cost.
If there is a difference of ten to eighty thousand kilometers, it may be easy to save it, and if it is three or five hundred thousand kilometers, who will eat too much to save people?
So all he could say was, "Where are you going? Just send us there."
At this moment, a gorgeous woman spoke up, and the woman looked to be in her thirties and had an extraordinary temperament.
"Twenty million, Celestial Star, just arrive in the galaxy, do you want to go?"
Qu Jianlei has always been wary of this woman, although she is moderate or even thin, which is a bit inconsistent with mainstream aesthetics.
But this woman is an A-level ice attribute, and her combat power in space can be comparable to the supreme.
The woman didn't speak, but let Qu Jianlei be sure that this was a person who could call the shots.
The big guys will only appear when they make a decision, and the bargaining will naturally be taken care of by the people below.
Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied simply, "It's all said, it's not a matter of money."
The woman replied very firmly, "There are not many problems that money can't solve, you make an offer."
Qu Jianlei laughed when he heard this, "You really don't worry that I'm a star thief, I'll ...... two hundred million."
"That's two hundred million," a hint of coldness flashed in the woman's eyes, "as long as you dare to take it, I dare to give it."
"Eldest sister," the middle-aged man couldn't help it, "take your temper away."
"It doesn't matter," the woman replied lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Qu Jianlei, "Those who dare to understand the offer will not be bad."
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You can see clearly, I'm not a bad person, but I have something."
The woman groaned and asked, "And where can you send us?"
She finally recognized the reality, Qu Jianlei naturally didn't have much to do, and replied very simply, "Do you know that the route is secret?"
"Yes," the middle-aged man replied this time, and it was clear that it was a role similar to that of a butler.
"We won't give it away, that's where you met us."
There's a lot of information that can be analyzed through the locations of the encounters between the two sides.
In the interstellar world, there are many people who do business generously, but there are also many people who make a lot of money in a muffled voice, and they don't want to be known.
This has nothing to do with whether the business is formal or not, it is purely "easy to borrow money, but difficult to borrow".
He felt that he was quite sensible, and he didn't think that the ordinary man opposite him would talk about something else, "Then let's talk about the cost."
