No. 1236 - 1264 Beggar-thy-Neighbor (2-in-1 Chapter)
Chapter 1263 Inch by Inch (One Change, He Meng, Lord Mingyue)
"I actually encountered the matter of buying and selling prisoners," Qu Jianlei was a little crying and laughing.
He always felt that it was in the history books, far away from him.
Especially in this life of the empire, he has never been soft on his enemies, and now he only has one more "ransom" option.
However, he still refused, "If you want to buy prisoners, you can wait until the matter in the black zone is over!" β
After all, he can get a lot of information out of the captives now, and he won't make the mistake of being an enemy.
Well, Thorn Blossom may not be an enemy, but it's still a contender.
He won't insist on not selling, but he can't affect his actions.
The second thing that the thorn blossom wants to know is, of course, the whereabouts of the magic weapon.
Qu Jianlei won't elaborate, but he won't take the initiative to make trouble for himself.
He simply said, "If we do find the artifact, is it necessary to stay in the black zone?" β
He felt that his two answers had clearly demonstrated his intentions.
The former is to show that he has no intention of taking capital from the government - I agree to sell people, but it is not appropriate at this time.
The latter reveals his true purpose - we are here for the magic weapon, and once we succeed, we will definitely leave!
He consciously expressed it clearly, but others also have to believe it, right?
"Out of the black zone and then trade? Hehe, by that time, not to mention that the value of the captives will shrink, who can guarantee that they will definitely sell? β
"If you don't get the magic weapon, it's hard to say, if you leave now, won't it be confirmed that he got the magic weapon?"
Things in the world are always so ridiculous, he feels that his attitude is very clear, but he can't stand others and always have other interpretations.
In the face of his reply, Thorn Flower blossomed with a new condition: we wanted the two teams to work together.
We are very impressed by your team's unique search technology, and if you are willing to transfer, we can pay you accordingly.
In addition, once the cooperation is rewarded, everything else is negotiable, except for the return of the magic artifact to the original owner in exchange for a reward.
"What is inexplicable," Qu Jianlei felt, the person who made this request had a bag in his brain, and couldn't understand people's words?
A few days later, the other two teams also sent people to spread the word, also asking for cooperation.
Is this going to be coerced? Qu Jianlei was really a little annoyed, and he resolutely refused.
Next, the consequences of rejecting all teams appeared, and the fleet of digital phantoms was targeted by everyone.
At first, it was just the sneering of the starship encountered, but later, someone flew with it.
Anyway, everyone has agreed that the five teams must not start a war lightly.
Previously, the digital phantom was equipped with a starship that mimicked the divine consciousness equipment, and there were only four except for 1314.
Now the other seventeen ships are all equipped with similar equipment - really just similar, the same is only the "detection class".
No way, there are no long-term secrets in the world, especially in this kind of group cooperation.
Moreover, if this kind of thing is treated differently, once it spreads, some centrists who could have been able to win over will also be separated from morality in an instant.
Qu Jianlei realized this relatively early, and asked Xiaohu to develop an imitation and start processing it himself.
In fact, it is not just an imitation, in addition to the appearance, it will also emit some detection waves, which can issue an alarm for abnormal situations.
It's just this kind of "abnormal situation", then it's quite Buddhist, and the main one is to do whatever you want.
Because Xiaohu is in control of the control side, the abnormal situation of the choice is not too nonsense, but there is no law at all.
But one thing is absolutely the same - the self-destruct device.
After being sent to other starships, SCP-1314 can also receive alerts from time to time.
However, at this time, it was no longer handled on the spot, and rushed to record the location in time, and then arranged for the starship that called the police to continue the search.
Many starships harbor strong curiosity, but Qu Jianlei will not have any explanation.
He only stressed that if all goes well, we will return the confiscated materials when the search is over.
- Those who have outstanding performance will get some feedback privately, but we will not announce it to the public.
The main hit is a fish and a pearl, but it's not without a price.
Not only has the 1314 ship increased a lot of tasks, but Qu Jianlei also has to reward individual starships from time to time.
However, compared to these costs, Qu Jianlei feels that everything is still worth it.
It's enough to have a few starships to help search the black zone, at least it can save a lot of time for team members.
And the lion's share of what he needs to pay is nothing more than to return what he stood.
Now the rest of the team has also learned that the fleet of digital phantoms has a special detector that seems to work wonders.
There will definitely be people who will use the detector's brains, but before they tear their faces, it is still inconvenient to make rash moves.
If you change teams, the big four teams are likely to poke at the black hand - this is the black zone anyway.
But the digital phantom ...... There is a powerful artificial intelligence, and no one dares to guarantee that it will not be detected after it is started.
And the revenge from the Digital Phantom is not something that any force can afford.
If the grudge is too deep and spreads to the entire empire beyond the Black Zone, it really ...... You'll have to weigh it carefully.
The serious is a cold yin and yang sentence, that doesn't matter.
Companion ...... It's not impossible, the black zone belongs to everyone, not your team!
However, when the first companion flight appeared, Qu Jianlei realized the other party's intentions - did he cut meat with a blunt knife?
He would never get used to this kind of problem, so he rushed over with two company-level ships as soon as possible.
The other side has three starships, and his own side only has two, but when he arrives, it will be five against three.
He said very simply: I don't care what your reasons are, now I will only give you two choices.
Fuck off, or blow you up - once fired, I won't keep the prisoners!
Explain two sentences on the other side, saying that he didn't have a heart, and then left in a gloomy manner.
The core ship of the digital phantom, which must be given face - whether it is artificial intelligence or the supreme, it is not something that can be insulted!
However, less than a day after the incident, a second escort incident appeared.
The 1314 ship arrived again, expelled the other side, and made it clear: it has been twice, and the third time we will open fire!
Tired soldier tactics are such pediatrics, can you hide it from him?
However, it was still less than a day, and the third escort incident appeared!
After Qu Jianlei received the alarm, he smiled helplessly, "Is this a public enemy?" β
But it doesn't matter, the etiquette has come to an end, and if he doesn't break the game strongly, he won't be him anymore.
This time, it was still three starships that were accompanied by the Thorn Blossom team.
When the 1314 ship arrived, it only said one sentence, "It's the third time, and we've already warned you!" β
As soon as the other party heard it, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately explained, "It's just a coincidence, what third time?" This is the first time this is such a coincidence. β
"That's why others didn't inform you, no wonder I'm there!" Qu Jianlei directly issued an order, "Attention all ships...... Fire with all your might! β
Not only his three starships, but also the two starships that were accompanied by him, were also unhappy in their hearts, and they also turned on the battle mode when they heard the words.
The starship with thorns and flowers really didn't expect that the other party would really say that it would fight.
They have the word "thorns" on them.
Although their power in the black zone is not as good as the Bright team, the Bright team does not dare to be disrespectful when they encounter them!
Even two starships related to Thorns got rid of Bright's requisition and joined Thorn Blossom, and they didn't dare to stop them.
The good thing is that these three ships are also on guard sufficiently, the strength of the shields has been raised very high, and the muzzles are also in a charged state.
- Everyone has spent a lot of money in the black zone, and now they don't care about this little consumption at all.
The three starships fought back in the face of the siege, while trying to explain that there must have been some threat, of course.
But in the past two minutes, they did not dare to be presumptuous anymore, and the power system and fire control system failed one after another.
This is still three starships, and two of them have quite strong digital defense capabilities, otherwise the time will only be shorter.
On one of the starships, it seems that there is a person in charge, and he said very simply, this time we admit it and are willing to compensate!
At this point, all eight starships had ceased fire, and because the battle was still short, there was almost no damage to each starship.
Qu Jianlei snorted coldly when he heard this, and spoke directly in the public channel.
"You two...... I've already stopped the starship, are you waiting for me to do it again? β
The two starships that were accompanied by the flight were stunned when they heard this, "This ...... Do you want to keep fighting? β
Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "This is the third time in three days that I have accompanied the flight, I warned them, it will not be more than three!" β
The two starships that were accompanied by the flight suddenly realized that they had not heard of the first two incidents because they had been searching separately.
But as soon as you hear this kind of thing, you can understand, who is not an old Jianghu?
However, it is clear that the boss is going to ...... Are we forced to do it?
Thornblossom and Digital Phantom are different teams, but these two starships were only requisitioned by 1314.
It's a little annoying to encounter the escort flight, but how good is the 1314 ship?
A starship plucked up its courage to speak, "This ...... My lord, can't you requisition them? β
Qu Jianlei didn't answer his question, "Of course we can make a move, but we will kill the witnesses, are you sure?" β
"I'm rough," the other starship frantically persuaded his companion through a private channel, "don't drag me if you want to die." β
These two starships seem to be operating normally, but they are already resident by artificial intelligence, and they don't even need to invade!
As for the conversation on the private channel, there shouldn't be anything private at all, but at this time, can you take care of these?
As long as the three starships on the opposite side can't hear it!
However, although the opposite side couldn't hear the conversation between the two, he heard Qu Jianlei's words clearly, and he was extremely shocked for a while.
You've all taken control of our starship, now ...... And you want to blow up the starship?
(The first update, He Meng's master "Where is the bright moon, how is the dream?") οΌ

Chapter 1264 Beggar-thy-Neighbor (Second Update)
Among the three ships of Thorns, it was the one who took the lead to speak, "My lord, we really have no intention of offending, and we are willing to compensate ......"
"It's really not good, you can take the starship away, what is good, why break it?"
At this moment, he was so annoyed in his heart, he knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, why did he take on this task?
It is said that it is only a tentative task, and it is necessary to force the other party to comply.
Before coming, he assessed the risk and thought that the possibility of the other party turning his face was not small, and if he had the strength of others, he would not endure it.
But even if it is a face-turn, there is a degree problem - it is enough to restrain your own three starships, right?
The menacing appearance of the other party already made him feel bad, and after being restrained, he immediately took the initiative to admit it and offered to compensate for the loss.
The bottom line in his heart is that it's a big deal to compensate the other party for the three starships.
This choice was a bit painful, but he found a reason to comfort himself: there were already hidden dangers, and it was not safe to use them.
As for the future, let's talk about it...... Always find out what kind of force the other party comes from!
In short, he is not only a member of the Thorn Blossom team of his own starship, but also a member of the Thorn Circle.
As one of the organizers, he was not forcibly requisitioned, and it was not appropriate for him not to go to this kind of thing.
Anyway, if you should fight, if you lose, you will admit it in time, and you will slowly find a field in the future.
Who would have thought that the other party was really angry, and even the starship that had been controlled would be exploded!
A starship is not very valuable, but it is also hundreds of millions larger.
Before coming to the Black Zone, the three starships of our own side have undergone different modifications, and the total price should be around four billion!
Don't get the four billion, you have to destroy it...... What kind of mentality could be causing this?
So the next question is: the starships will be blown up, what will happen to their crews?
He didn't dare to think about it, because he was scared from the bottom of his heart!
However, although he reminded the other party again that the compensation could be a starship, even the most wealthy Xiaohu was indifferent.
Qu Jianlei sneered, "Opportunity...... I've already given it to you, and I endured the first two provocations. β
"Bear with it this time, that's my problem!"
"I really didn't receive it," the public channel hurriedly argued, "I know, I was wrong......
Qu Jianlei didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, "These two, for us, three starships are destroyed, and five are also destroyed." β
"I'll give you five seconds to think about it...... Don't say we didn't give it a chance! β
"Don't think about it for a second," said one starship decisively, "fire!" β
People are mixed in society, and the most taboo thing is to be timid and swaying, and it is very likely that both sides will not be pleased.
In extreme cases, the wrong choice is better than no choice.
The starship's decision was also careful, so it opened fire at the first opportunity.
He wasn't sure which was stronger, Thorn Blossom or Digital Phantom, but he was sure: it's better to die late than to die early!
Seeing that he had made a choice, the other starship didn't dare to slack off, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Fire! β
For a while, the three starships of the other party burst out with all kinds of bright lights.
"We surrender!" There was a shout from the opposing starship, but unfortunately, no one cared anymore.
The three starships were paralyzed in their power systems, and naturally there was no energy supply shield.
How long can you hold out without turning on the protection and simply relying on the armor of the starship?
In just over a minute, the three starships were smashed to pieces.
Qu Jianlei found that the artillery fire of the two attacking starships was gradually thinning, and he snorted coldly, "Don't stop, explode!" β
There was no shortage of good men on these starships, and he could see very clearly that the attack deliberately avoided the ammunition depot and energy bay.
It's nothing more than hitting three targets that can't be maneuvered, which can be done by qualified gunners, not to mention adventurers who dare to break into the black zone.
Qu Jianlei can't be satisfied with this, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people!
As soon as his words came out, the two starships were stunned for about two or three seconds, and then increased their firepower.
The guy who dared to gamble even said, "My lord, we want to reduce the consumption of ammunition." β
What do you want to reduce...... It's the hatred of the other party, right? Qu Jianlei didn't bother to pay attention to this guy.
But the person on the other side couldn't stand it, "We all said surrendered...... They are all imperial people, so why should you, my lord? β
Qu Jianlei didn't think it was too much - I crossed the beginning, it was in that large human testing ground, and now you tell me about the empire?
Even in the black zone, you have already realized this, as for the provocation of the accompanying flight?
Seeing that he didn't react, the guy who took the lead spoke, "Abandon the ship!" β
If you don't abandon the ship, you can't do it, the other party has already made a ruthless decision, how long can these starships that have been disabled hold out?
He doesn't have anything to gamble on now, he has already shouted "all are from the empire", is the other party really killing?
The next moment, the rescue capsule and space mecha popped up on the three starships...... There are also two lifeboats.
The people in the lifeboats should be a little more wary of the digital phantom - at least there is some motivation.
In addition, there was also a man in civilian clothes, who jumped out like an arrow before the starship fire burst out.
The two starships in charge of the attack really released the water, and when the people came out about the same, they began to blow up the starships one by one.
- People have already come out, it doesn't make much sense to blow up or not, this level of damage is absolutely impossible to repair in the black zone!
However, the supreme who came out in the end is really not bad, and if he is a little later, he will be injured by the aftermath of the fire storm.
As he thought, the ejected rescue pods, lifeboats, and space mechs were not attacked.
Qu Jianlei actually doesn't mind hurting these people, surrendering before the war and surrendering in defeat are fundamentally two concepts.
At worst, he can ignore these people, but he doesn't believe how long they can last in the black zone.
But the phrase "all of them are from the empire" still carries a bit of weight, even if he has no sense of belonging to the empire.
Moreover, in the future, if the other party accuses him of "ill-intentioned and fornicating alliances", this will also become a proof!
Don't think that the probability of this kind of accusation is not high, Qu Jianlei will never underestimate the evil in human nature!
So he could only say, "You two cease fire, let's go capture the prisoners!" β
It is important to note that he does not say "rescue", but emphasizes the fact that the human rights of the captives - captives are pitifully few.
Mrs. Jia and Mu Guang flashed out of the two company-level ships, and Qu Jianlei and nutrients also came out of 1314.
Mrs. Jia and Mu Guang didn't do anything, supervising the starship to grab the life-saving pod, lifeboat and space mecha.
Qu Jianlei and the nutrients went straight to the supreme.
Seeing this, the Supreme hurriedly spoke, "Don't get me wrong, I'm ...... sincerely."
Before he could finish speaking, the nutrient directly released coercion, suppressing the other party's reaction ability.
Then her body flashed, and she came directly to the other party, and raised her hand to place a ban, so fast that people couldn't react at all.
Then she carried the supreme and went straight back to the 1314 ship.
Qu Jianlei felt that there was only one supreme among the three starships, and he felt a little wrong, so he still stayed in space and prepared to respond.
It took more than an hour before and after, and all the people who escaped were put away by the two company-level ships, and he returned to 1314.
When he got to the ship, he found that the Supreme had been left in a corner of the hall, and the nutrient was playing with the vortex terminal.
"Didn't interrogate him?"
"Don't bother to ask," Nutrient replied without raising his head, "You're the boss, you can ask." β
The Supreme was originally there, looking loveless, and the word "boss" in his ears suddenly became clever.
He had just said a few words, and he was twitched several times by the supreme on the other side, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Now that I heard that this man is actually the boss, he is really confused - isn't this just the supreme?
"I don't bother to ask," Qu Jianlei frowned in disgust.
It's not easy for the Supreme to ask things out of his mouth, this is one thing, and the key is...... The other party's operation really made him tired.
It's nothing more than the four teams tied together, trying step by step, through extreme pressure, forcing themselves to finally give in.
If he really dares to show that the carriage and horse are hard to fight, he can still have a little respect.
This kind of disgusting method, he really doesn't want to see it.
Then he sensed that the nutrient was talking to Xiaohu, and couldn't help but ask, "Those two sides are interrogating?" β
"Well," the nutrient looked up and spoke disdainfully, "only one of the three supremes came...... Someone still wants to have a face. β
"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded in realization, "I should still hide the two supremes...... Just to face, not afraid of death? β
He said this unscrupulously, and the supreme captive shuddered when he heard itβare you still not satisfied with a supreme person?
"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of death," the nutrient nodded, "It's disgusting anyway!" β
She didn't bother to interrogate the other party for the same reason as the boss - this thing was really disgusting!
Qu Jianlei could also understand her emotions, so he sat down very casually, "What about these people...... Point ransom? β
He didn't think about how to deal with these people, it was really a toad that fell to the surface of his feet, and it didn't bite people.
"Energy blocks," the nutrient replied casually, "the more we have, the fewer of them." β
When the two said this, they did not shy away from the supreme next to them - although the other party's behavior was excessive, there was no way to kill.
The Supreme secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was always a good thing that he could get away with it.
As for the ransom? That's okay, he's not bad for money.
But this humiliation, he remembered, and slowly found it back in the future.
After a while, the nutrient snorted and laughed, "They're really being cheated by their teammates...... No one listened to your warnings. β
It's just that the neighbor is beggar-thy-neighbor, Qu Jianlei is not strange at all, "It's not strange that they all want to pit others!" β
When Supreme heard this, he felt that he had finally waited for the opportunity to explain.
"Two, I really don't have any ill intentions, maybe you have some misunderstanding about the thorn blossoms."
