Gortle had wanted to spend a few more days in Godley and have some contact with Rhodiola Rosea.

But the other party looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and he felt that there was no point in continuing to stay, and it might backfire.

It just so happened that the cargo starship was also loaded, so it returned a day later.

However, he finalized other things, the largest of which was, of course, a thank you fee of 50 million.

For 50 million miles, Qu Jianlei received 30 million silver tickets, and the remaining 20 million were exchanged for energy blocks. Other supplies - as soon as they are replenished, as for the cost of Rhodiola Rosea to recuperate, it is all included in 50 million miles.

Finally, it was time to make a holographic image of the pass, and Qu Jianlei specially drove the 8384 ship out of the ship's hangar.

Gottel couldn't help but complain, and it was almost, "I said Your Excellency, your taste is ...... It's a bit unique. ”

Qu Jianlei sighed faintly, "Alas, there is no way, I am not the only one in the family, and some people have bad tastes." ”

He said this to lay the groundwork for that "Ice Attribute Supreme", which may never be used, but what if it is needed?

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

"Something else?" Gortle nodded thoughtfully, the news was not unexpected.

The supremacy of anything else is not on this merchant ship, so it can be seen that there is definitely more than one merchant ship in this organization. But I just don't know if the crews on those merchant ships are also so elite

After Gottel left, Qu Jianlei also began to prepare for departure, he had been holding back here for more than three months, and it was time to go to breathe.

But the most fundamental reason is that one of his attack ships has been damaged—a strong attack type. The damage is not serious and does not affect the battle, but it is imperative to repair it, and a small problem becomes a major problem if it is not treated.

Wanmi Mining's assessment of the damage cost 1 million, but it was up to Wanmi to arrange for a place to repair it.

Anyway, with the condition of Godley's astral body, it is impossible to do meticulous repairs.

Before leaving, Gottel made a special decision and gave the other party two million to let them repair it themselves.

For the mine, such an operation is not too much of a loss, isn't it money to transport starships back and forth? But Qu Jianlei also earned, and he returned to his lair to repair, spending some raw materials and energy blocks at most.

Before leaving, he had to put away the Spirit Gathering Array first, and then clean up the xenomorph energy in the suite, it was said that with the strength he showed, it was impossible for the mine to secretly send someone in to investigate after he left.

However, there is nothing wrong with being careful, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can say for sure?

So he left two days late, and finally left the assault ship to watch his home.

Immediately afterward, something unexpected happened, and another mine heard that he was leaving for a short time and sent someone to discuss the escort.

Li Ang saw the "white fish" again and asked him if he had any plans to take on the escort mission.

The target of this mine is a transit star, not far from the Celestial Blade, which is a mineral transit planet in the asteroid belt.

This is a serious planet, not a miscellaneous star, with a diameter of more than 8,000 kilometers, not much smaller than the blue star.

Most of the planet is the sea, and there are dotted islands, which are enough for heroes from all walks of life to stay.

Interestingly, the Celestial Blade Star Government also knew that the asteroid belt was chaotic, so it was not strictly inspected.

There is no way to be an important transit station, keeping the logistics smooth is the most important, and everything else is secondary.

There is a high probability that Qu Jianlei's merchant ships will not be inspected if they go there.

Even if it was inspected, the mining company called Simone also said that they had covered the customs clearance.

Qu Jianlei was a little incomprehensible, "They also have armed merchant ships, is the situation so grim now?" ”

Leon smiled a little incomprehensibly, "The situation is indeed a bit tense, and their armed merchant ships still have to protect the mines......"

"The last time they didn't support us effectively, they must have been a little apprehensive, so leave some strength to protect the nest."

Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, in the battle a while ago, these two mines were indeed not effective in rescue. Both sent several attack ships, and it cannot be said that there was no movement at all, but neither sent the main battle merchant ships.

The reason is very simple, it was Wanmi Mining that was attacked, and it was the duty of neighbors to support the two families.

As for saying that the three families can resist foreign aggression when they gather their strength...... Well, this point of view holds up in theory.

But in fact, it is impossible - you are beaten away by foreign enemies, and I take advantage of the situation to embezzle your minerals, this is the norm.

The world of capital is really so disgusting.

Qu Jianlei couldn't figure it out, "When this mine came, it also picked us up, and at present, there is no friend or foe, do you really think you have a big face?" ”

Li Ang spread his hands and replied helplessly, "It's all business, they give money." ”

Then he smiled bitterly, "It is precisely because friend and foe are not separated that they hired you to escort them, and they also want to clear their suspicions." ”

There is no logical problem with this - I have asked you to escort you, and the last incident was really not ***.

But Qu Jianlei doesn't approve of it, and he still sees less of the thief shouting about catching the thief?

So he said very simply, "Maybe there are still people guarding outside, and we don't want to be stabbed by friendly forces at a critical moment." ”

"If you don't want to, forget it," Leon nodded, and it was clear that he didn't like Simone coming out of nowhere.

But you have to say, "That means you may have rejected their kindness." ”

"I'm going to ride a horse," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but burst into foul language.

He almost wanted to say - I just refused, so what can I do?

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help it, "We don't feel safe yet, so they can go as they want." ”

That's what happened, he killed the other party's supremacy, is it possible that the other side won't retaliate?

"Actually, according to our reasoning...... They can also be victims, and the probability is extremely high. ”

"That has something to do with me," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, turning and leaving. More than an hour later, the tattered merchant ship took off into the air and rushed into the atmosphere.

Not long after, another heavily laden merchant ship took off and signaled a friendly signal to 8384 in the distance.

Qu Jianlei didn't call the light signal, and called directly on the public channel, "This is 8384, don't tailgating, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" ”

He didn't bother to repeat it, and the attitude was clear: I don't care if you hear it clearly, I've already said it anyway.

The heavily laden merchant ship obviously understood what he meant, and adjusted its direction slightly, and the two ships finally drifted apart.

Qu Jianlei went to the abandoned ore star first, and he planned to repair the attack ship first.

This time he was unlucky, encountering five waves of merchant ships along the way, avoiding them from beginning to end, and it took eight days to arrive.

The abandoned ore astral body is still so lonely and desolate, Qu Jianlei checked the hidden array, and it seems that no one has moved.

However, after persevering for such a long time, more than 20,000 energy blocks were consumed, and the key was that the materials were also a little aged.

This is something that cannot be helped, and long-term operation has a great impact on the material.

Moreover, from time to time there are various radiation or storms in the universe, which will also accelerate the aging of materials. "You have to protect the nest," Qu Jianlei muttered softly.

The merchant ship drove into the wide mine, he turned on the lights, and looked at the familiar environment for a while, and suddenly felt at home.

The next moment, he shook his head, he actually regarded this place as home, how much I like to live in isolation?

At the end of the day, there are too few environments that can bring him peace.

Next, he arranged for Xiaohu to repair the attack ship, and he was not in a hurry to set up a spirit gathering array, but went out to investigate first.

Qu Jianlei walked out of the pit, released his senses, and carefully inspected the entire ore body. For a minute, his face changed slightly, "This is ...... Or is someone coming? ”

He flew up in the air, drew an arc in the air, and in a short time came to a distance of more than a hundred kilometers.

Probably more than 1,000 square meters, there are some domestic garbage scattered around, and there are obvious traces of starship crushing.

Starships can rise straight into the air, but they can also walk on the ground, which will save energy blocks.

On the astral body, the crushing marks of the starship sometimes remain for a long time, but Qu Jianlei is sure that this is definitely new.

Looking at this scene, his face was cloudy.

Ever since he met Rheinland's party in space, he realized that this abandoned ore body would not be as quiet as he imagined.

Although there are no people and no living facilities, it is still a good place for interstellar wanderers to escape risks.

However, even though he was aware of this, he still had mixed feelings when he actually found out that someone had come.

So, my home base...... Not so safe either? Faced with this reality, his mood was a bit irritable and bored.

He tried to collect the other party's breath, but unfortunately, the breath had already dissipated, and he didn't find any valuable clues.

In fact, even if he collects clues, what if he can still chase them over and kill them? This is Borderlands!

He slowly flew towards the mine, releasing his sentient .....

In short, coming back this time gave him a new demand for safety and changed his plan and itinerary.

It's impossible to throw away this place, but it can't be regarded as a place for yourself, let alone hide most of your wealth here.

It is necessary for him to find more places to live as soon as possible. Three days later, the Big-headed Butterfly repaired the attack ship.

Qu Jianlei left a robot and a forerunner terminal, leaving Xiaohu with a wisp of clones in it.

With this wisp of clone control, the robot can make simple maintenance of the base camp, and open the defensive array and hidden array according to the situation.

When the formation material is aged to the point where it is unbearable to use, it can also be replaced in time.

In the past, Qu Jianlei did not arrange this way, because in case it was discovered, this wisp of Xiaohu's clone would start to self-destruct.

For the big-headed butterfly, this loss is not very large, but it is a little cruel after all. He didn't want to think of it as pure artificial intelligence.

But this time Xiaohu said, "It doesn't matter, it's not easy for us to accumulate some belongings." ”

After the arrangements were made, Qu Jianlei drove the 8384 and came to Lanyun Market again.

However, this time the treatment was different, and before he could make a landing request, the ground responded.

Welcome to Merchant Ship 8384, you can choose any place to land. (Updated to, ask for commuter passes, catch-ups, and recommended tickets.) ）
