Chapter 923 Old Grudge
Qu Jianlei and the others encountered a little trouble on the way back to Paradise Star this time.
The accident did not appear on the ominous ship, but the following ship 3344.
After they entered the Canopy Galaxy, Qu Jianlei decided to go to the Lost Star to take a look from a distance to see if the military was still watching.
However, it was still far away from Lost Star, so Xiaohu told Qu Jianlei that something had happened.
The 3344 ship behind actually triggered the passive space early warning device.
In such a vast space, there are still people who set up early warning devices, which is really unexpected.
And the 3344 ship turned on stealth, and didn't take the initiative to investigate other situations-not far ahead, there was its own starship exploring the way.
Never thought about it, it triggered the early warning device that came from nowhere.
To make matters worse, the signal from the early warning device was quite strong and encrypted.
"Ninety-nine percent are arranged by the military," the big-headed butterfly turned, "Boss, what should I do?"
"Let 3344 continue to jump," Qu Jianlei issued an order, "The target... I hope the star field will be fine."
The number of high imitation warships has not appeared many times, but the last time it was nearby, they encountered a scuffle between the Stratford Adventure Group and Tu Fuzi.
For this reason, the Storford family also specially contacted Paradise Star, wanting to offer a reward, but it failed.
But Qu Jianlei thought again, this jump may alarm the military, and that ominous ship...is not suitable to return to the Paradise in the short term.
Don't look at the bottom of the iron snake, as long as someone suspects it, there may be some troubles in the future.
"Forget it, let's go to Hope Starfield too, and we haven't been back for a long time."
Not long after the two starships made the jump, two warships actually rushed over, but the ones painted were "Mendarmerie".
"The other party interfered immediately, but it can be seen that it should be a standard warship type."
In order to conceal the presence of passive early warning devices, they usually do not issue active detection, and only detect after the alarm is triggered.
The one controlling 3344 is Xiaohu, so the reaction speed is definitely not a problem, but it still allows the other party to spy a little bit.
"Sure enough, is there something wrong with the military here? Or... is it a counterfeit warship?"
It seems that the military is also aware that some people are messing around under their banner, such as a certain archaeological organization.
"Anyway, there must be a problem, otherwise they wouldn't have escaped through the leap. Can you lock their whereabouts?"
"How is that possible...it's not an official standard transition channel. It's a pity that the other party is too alert."
"The surrounding inspections will be stricter, so let's call in some starships."
The two starships jumped to the Starfield of Hope one after the other, and it took half a day to get in touch.
Qu Jianlei really wanted to go to the four livable stars to see what the current hope star field looks like.
But it is a pity that even if the ominous ship is registered here, it is not suitable to land casually.
"Let's wander around first," Mrs. Jia suggested, "see if there is any suitable landing opportunity."
Anyway, in the short term, it is not suitable for them to return to the paradise, and it is good to find something to kill time.
Not to mention, the old lady seemed to have opened her mouth. After five days, they really found a chance.
It was a cheap passenger starship that had encountered a breakdown, frantically sending out distress signals to the surroundings.
The starship is not completely unusable, but the situation is still very dangerous, and the faults are constantly spreading.
There is no doubt that there are no high-level maintenance engineers on this flight.
But this is not such a big problem. The signal they sent will reach the headquarters sooner or later.
The headquarters will definitely send someone to rescue, but it will take some time on the road.
After the ominous ship found the signal, it drove over directly, and said frankly, "How do you calculate the maintenance cost?"
On the other side, it is really hard to give up good fortune, saying that our maintenance costs are limited, let's first see where the fault is, okay?
Qu Jianlei drove the starship closer to the opponent, and actually boarded the passenger ship to take a look.
The fault is not major but not minor. If another person comes in, even if there are enough spare parts, it is not so difficult to repair it in space!
Qu Jianlei directly offered a sky-high price: I will pay for the spare parts, 20 million guaranteed to fix it!
He did quote a high price, four to five million yuan is enough for this kind of labor and labor - 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 person said that he was too dark - obviously a million or so can be done!
These people run space passenger transportation all the year round. Although they are not good at maintenance, they still know the approximate price for those common faults.
They hope that Qu Jianlei can charge a reasonable fee, and they also said that the company's annual maintenance budget is limited.
"I love repairing or not!" Qu Jianlei turned around and left, "How much does your company send someone to come and go?"
"During the waiting time, how much money did you earn less?"
Anyway, he just looks like a philistine, trying to earn excess profits by "presenting facts and reasoning".
However, the crew members were also desperate for good fortune, and they resolutely refused to agree to such extortion. In the end, the two families broke up unhappy.
After Qu Jianlei boarded the ominous ship, he left without any intention of haggling.
So much so that some passengers on the ship complained, "This guy also haggles the price, does he have any grudges against money?"
Qu Jianlei had no grudge against money, but he came 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 use 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 greedy person.
Are there few such people? There are really quite a few, and you can meet them casually on the street, and many passengers will not find it so strange.
Since he repaired the starship, it will attract everyone's attention, and the level of restoration of the starship can be seen at a glance.
Kind-hearted people are too rare, let alone kind-hearted people with skills?
Everyone has seen a lot of those people who care about everything, so they don't take it to heart.
You don't pay attention to me, that's the best! The ominous ship just walked away.
Three days later, the maintenance engineer arrived with other starships, and it took half a day to temporarily solve the problem of the starship.
"It can be driven to the place first, and then it can be completely repaired."
No one noticed that in the cargo hold of the passenger starship, there was a vague shadow.
The destination of the passenger starship is Hope Star, and the old lady left two teleportation arrays on Hope Star.
And then she went to the fourth star and the second star - the atmosphere on the third star is still relatively tense, so there is no rush to go.
Qu Jianlei and others also came to the second star, revisiting the old place, I really have a special feeling in my heart.
Fortunately, he saw Sophia on the street.
The former commercial tour guide, slightly plump, with an automatic stroller by his side.
And her lower abdomen was also in an obviously abnormally bulging state - it should have given birth to a new life.
Qu Jianlei subconsciously smiled, then shook his head, this probably means "You have your life, I have my journey".
However, the reality didn't give him too long to be sad. Old lady Jia came over with a dark face, "Jiu Xian was taken away."
"Take it away?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Where did you take it?"
"Anomalous Observation Team," old lady Jia sighed softly, "she is very capable of doing research, and...she has a strong family background."
"Family origin?" Qu Jianlei repeated, and then asked with a strange expression, "Is it influenced by you?"
"This... there should be a little bit," Mrs. Jia nodded hesitantly, "but the main thing is that archeology is more popular recently."
The hot topic of archaeology was triggered by the ghost cultivating incident in the Blade Star Field, but there are deeper reasons.
From the words of the middle-aged young master Qianhe, one can know that the empire has accumulated too many things.
Ran Bingluan's robbing thunder, Rhodiola's mysterious magic, the theft of a super energy gathering array...
This is only related to him. When the old dean of Lushui started to study divine writing, it was difficult to stop this trend.
But the empire has always emphasized that it is strictly forbidden to study divine texts in private - I don't have to pursue it, but this does not mean that you are legal!
Because there is such a backlog of grievances, it is equivalent to all kinds of conflicts starting to erupt.
"Isn't this too short-sighted?" Qu Jianlei's eyes flashed coldly, "Are you going to mess with them?"
"It's okay, it's on Star 3," Mrs. Jia replied calmly, "It's not convenient for us to go there for the time being."
I have to admit that the imperial people are really big-hearted, and when their granddaughter encounters this kind of thing, she is not in a hurry.
"That's fine," Qu Jianlei nodded, the sufferer even said that he can't be in a hurry, it's useless for him to be in a hurry, isn't it?
"Anyway, you should keep in touch with them, just let them know if necessary."
"I hope it won't come to that day," Mrs. Jia's eyes flashed coldly, "By the way, now the number two star boss is Corian."
"Korian?" Qu Jianlei frowned, "This man... should I know him?"
Mrs. Jia said indifferently, "Hoyle, the second in command of the No. 4 star, do you still remember the one who made you wanted?"
"Of course," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, it was a complete and innocent disaster, how could he forget it?
At that time, he had already planned to integrate into the imperial society and become a normal person.
But it was this change that made him completely see the basic logic of the operation of the imperial society, so much so that he fled to this day.
Up to now, his mind has become wild, and he can't go back even if he wants to go back.
Of course, from another perspective, maybe he should be grateful for this accident, which made him live more clearly.
But what is right and wrong here, who can tell clearly?
Granny Jia spoke leisurely, "Corian was the biggest pusher who brought down Hoyle, even though he was not in the Starfield of Hope at the time."
Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "The people who make things difficult for Hoyle should be members of the Divine Culture Society, right?"
"Corian belongs to the Divine Society," the old lady said with certainty.
"Mother Hoyle's grandfather was tricked by him."
"Of course, there are others in their force, but Corian is the absolute main party involved!"
