Chapter 990: Old Grudges
Qu Jianlei and the others went back to Paradise Star this time, and they encountered a little trouble on the way.
The accident did not appear on the Ominous Ship, but on the trailing 3344 ship.
After they entered the Tianpeng Galaxy, Qu Jianlei had the heart to go to the Lost Star to take a look from afar to see if the military was still staring.
However, it was still far from the Lost Star, and Xiaohu told Qu Jianlei that something had happened.
The 3344 ship in the back actually triggered a passive space early warning.
In such a vast space, it is really surprising that someone has laid an early warning device.
And the 3344 ship turned on stealth, and did not take the initiative to probe other situations - not far ahead, there was its own starship to explore the way.
I never thought about it, and I triggered an early warning that floated from nowhere.
To make matters worse, the signal from the early warning is quite strong and dense.
"Ninety out of nine are set up by the military," the big-headed butterfly turned, "Boss, what should I do?" ”
"Let 3344 continue to jump," Qu Jianlei commanded, "Target...... I hope the star field is better. ”
There aren't many times that the high-imitation warship has come up, but the last time it was nearby, and I encountered a scuffle between the Steford Adventure Group and Tufuzi.
For this reason, the Steford family also specially contacted Paradise Star to issue a bounty, but it didn't get their wish.
However, Qu Jianlei thought about it again, this jump was likely to alarm the military, the ominous ship...... It is not suitable to return to the park in the short term.
Don't look at the iron snake at the bottom, as long as people are suspicious, there may be some trouble in the future.
"Forget it, let's also go to the Hope Star Field, we haven't been back for a long time."
Soon after the two starships jumped, two warships actually rushed over, but the painting was "military police".
"The other party interfered with it as soon as possible, but it can be seen that it should be a standard warship type."
In order to disguise their presence, passive early warning usually does not issue active detection, and only detects after the alarm is triggered.
It was Xiaohu who controlled 3344, and the reaction speed was definitely no problem, but it still allowed the other party to spy a little.
"Is there really something wrong with the military here? Or is it ...... Is it a counterfeit warship? ”
It seems that the military also knows that there are people who are messing around under their banner, such as a certain group of archaeologists.
"There must be something wrong anyway, otherwise they wouldn't have escaped by jumping, can you lock down where they are going?"
"How is that possible...... It's not an official standard jump channel, but it's a pity that the other party is too alert. ”
"Then the patrol around the area will be more rigorous, and some more starships will be transferred over."
The two starships jumped to the Hope Star Domain one after the other, and it took half a day to get in touch.
Qu Jianlei really wanted to take a look at the four habitable stars to see what the current Hope Star Field had become.
But it's a pity that even if the Ominous Ship is registered here, it's not suitable to land casually.
"Let's wander around for a while," Mrs. Jia suggested, "and see if there are any suitable landing opportunities." ”
Anyway, in the short term, they are not suitable to go back to the park, and it is good to find something to kill time.
Not to mention, the old lady's mouth seemed to be open, and after five days, they really found a chance.
It was a cheap passenger starship that had broken down, frantically sending out distress signals in all directions.
It's not that the starship is completely unusable, but the situation is still dangerous, and the breakdowns are spreading.
There is no doubt that there are no high-level maintenance engineers on this flight.
But this is not such a big problem, and the signal they send will reach the headquarters sooner or later.
Headquarters will definitely send someone to rescue them, but it will take some time on the road.
After the ominous ship found the signal, it drove directly over and said very bluntly, "How to calculate the maintenance cost?" ”
On the other side, it is really hard to give up the money, saying that our maintenance costs are limited, let's see where the fault point is?
Qu Jianlei drove the starship close to the other party, and really boarded the passenger ship to take a look.
The fault is not big but not small, and if you change someone, even if the spare parts are enough, if you want to repair it in space, the difficulty is not ordinary!
Qu Jianlei directly offered a sky-high price: I will pay for spare parts, and 20 million is guaranteed to be repaired!
He did report high, this kind of work with four or five million is enough - this is still considering the difficulty of space operations.
But Qu Jianlei didn't think about repairing it at all, so he quoted a sky-high price.
Sure enough, the other side said that he was too dark - obviously a million can be done!
These people run space passenger transportation all year round, although they are not good at maintenance, but for those common faults, the approximate price is still clear.
They wanted Qu to charge a reasonable fee, and said the company's annual maintenance budget was limited.
"Love to repair but not to cultivate!" Qu Jianlei turned around and left directly, "Your company sent someone, how much does it cost to come and go?" ”
"How much money did you make less while you waited?"
Anyway, he is just a philistine, trying to make excess profits by "laying out facts and reasoning".
However, the crew members were also reluctant to give up their money, and resolutely refused to agree to such extortion, and finally the two families broke up unhappily.
After Qu Jianlei boarded the ominous ship, he left without any intention of bargaining.
So much so that some passengers on the ship complained, "This guy also bargains more or less, does he have a grudge against money?" ”
Qu Jianlei has no grudge against money, but he stepped forward to negotiate the price, mainly because he wanted to send Mrs. Jia to the starship.
The old lady's own concealment ability is very strong, and it is not difficult for him to apply a little illusion to cover the old lady's entry into the cabin.
Anyway, if he doesn't take orders, it means that he is just a person with a desire for profit.
Are there fewer such people? There are really a lot of them, and you can meet them casually on the street, and many passengers don't think it's so strange.
Seriously, he repaired the starship, which will attract more attention from everyone, and the level of repairing the starship can also be seen at a glance.
Well-wishers are too rare, let alone well-wishers with ability?
Everyone has seen a lot of those who are scheming about flies and dogs, but they don't take it to heart.
You don't pay attention to me, that's for the best! The ominous ship just flew away.
Three days later, the maintenance division arrived with other starships, and it took half a day to temporarily solve the starship problem.
"You can drive to the place first, and then repair it completely."
No one noticed that in the cargo hold of the passenger starship, a shadow appeared like nothing.
The destination of the passenger starship is the Hope Star, and the old lady left two teleportation arrays on the Hope Star.
Then she went to the fourth and second stars - the third star is still in a tense atmosphere, so she is not in a hurry to go.
Qu Jianlei and others also came to the second star, and revisited the old place, which really had a different taste in their hearts.
It's good that he actually saw Sophia on the street.
The former business tour guide has become a little plumper, and there is an automatic stroller by his side.
And her lower abdomen is also in an obviously abnormal bulging state - it should be pregnant with a new life.
Qu Jianlei smiled subconsciously and shook his head again, this is probably "You have your life, I have my journey".
However, the reality didn't give him too much time to be sad, and Mrs. Jia came over with a dark face, "Jiuxian was taken away." ”
"Take it away?" Qu Jian Lei raised his eyebrows and spoke in surprise, "Where did you bring it?" ”
"Anomalous Observation Group," Mrs. Jia muttered softly, "she has a strong ability to do research, and she ...... Family Roots. ”
"Family Origins?" Qu Jianlei repeated, and then asked with a strange expression, "Was it influenced by you?" ”
"This ...... There should be a point," Mrs. Jia hesitated and nodded, "but the main thing is that archaeology has been hot recently." ”
The hot spot of archaeology is the ghost cultivation incident in the Blade Star Field, but there are deeper reasons.
Listening to the words of Qianhe's middle-aged young master, you can know that the empire has accumulated too many things.
Ran Bingluan's thunderstorm, Rhodiola Rosea's spiritual secret technique, and the theft of the Super Qi Gathering Array......
This is only related to him, when the old dean of Lushui began to study the divine script, this trend was difficult to stop.
But the Empire has always emphasized that it is strictly forbidden to study the Divine Script in private - I can dismiss it, but that doesn't mean you're legitimate!
Because there is such a backlog of grievances, it is now equivalent to all kinds of contradictions beginning to erupt.
"That's too long-sighted, isn't it?" A cold light flashed in Qu Jianlei's eyes, "Do you want to them?" ”
"It's okay for now, on Star Three," Mrs. Jia replied calmly, "It's not convenient for us to go for the time being." ”
I have to admit that the imperial people are really big-hearted, and she is not in a hurry when her granddaughter encounters this kind of thing.
"That's okay," Qu Jianlei nodded, the bitter master said that he was not in a hurry, and it was useless for him to be in a hurry alone, right?
"Anyway, you can keep in touch with them, just say it when you need to."
"I hope it doesn't come to that day," the cold glint in Mrs. Jia's eyes flashed, "By the way, the current No. 2 star boss is Ke Rui'an." ”
"Corian?" Qu Jianlei's brows furrowed, "This person ...... Should I know him? ”
Mrs. Jia said lightly, "Hoyle, the second-in-command of Star No. 4, do you remember, the one who made you wanted?" ”
"Of course," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, it was a complete and unwarranted disaster, how could he forget it?
At that time, he already had plans to integrate into the imperial society and become a normal person.
But it was this accident that made him completely see the basic logic of the operation of imperial society, so that he fled to this day.
By now, his mind has become wild, and he can't go back.
Of course, from another point of view, maybe he should be grateful for this accident, which made him live more soberly.
But who can tell what is right and wrong?
Mrs. Jia spoke leisurely, "Corian was the biggest pusher behind Hoyle, although he wasn't in the Hope Star Domain at the time. ”
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "The person who embarrassed Hoyle should be a member of the Shenwen Society, right?" ”
"Corian is from the Divine Society," the old lady affirmed.
"Hoyle's mother's grandfather was cheated by him."
"Of course, there are others in their force, but Corian is the absolute main party!"
