Chapter 160 Mission Arrangement, Sudden Assassination

Chen Ming just casually said that he wanted to buy his intelligence.

But Glasses didn't seem to have any doubts. Instead, he said as if he was trading intelligence normally: "This person is very popular recently. What's the price?"

Seeing Glasses holding up two fingers, Chen Ming didn't say much, and asked as if he was buying intelligence normally, "Twenty thousand?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

Chen Ming paid the money, and Glasses directly sent the intelligence to him face to face.

Chen Ming stood up and leaned against the wall to take a look, and found that all the content in the intelligence was basically information that could be obtained from normal public channels.

Basically, it was introducing Chen Ming's life. At most, it had some information on the pirate space station that was more than Chen Ming's own resume, but it was also very rough.

Starting from the mining space station of the local corrupt star zone military targeting the Sinda Company, to relying on the psychic power that could control the spacecraft to come to the pirate space station.

When he wanted to expose the corruption and greed of the star zone military and obtained enough evidence.

In the end, because of the pursuit of the star zone military, he was forced to use psychic power to attract Yuhui and save his life.

However, the evidence had been handed over by him, and the star zone military was destroyed.

Then the 14th Legion rescued him twice in the heart of Yuhui and successfully brought him out.

And let him use psychic power to severely damage Yuhui, taking away several Yuhui cruisers and several Alpha-class individuals.

The content can be said to be quite vague, and there are some errors and omissions.

There is not a single piece of information that can be considered confidential.

The only thing that is still unknown to the general public is that the evidence of corruption within the star zone military was indeed obtained by Chen Ming.

Chen Ming remembered that he had given the information to both the company and the boss before, but he didn't know which side leaked it.

But overall, this information cannot be said to be useless, it can only be said to be worthless.

So Chen Ming looked up at Glasses again and asked, "Are there more?"

Glasses tapped the terminal next to him a few times, and asked casually, "Do you need to be so detailed?"

"Just tell me if you will sell it or not."

"Sell, of course, but it won't be so cheap."

"How much?"

Just as Chen Ming was waiting for Glasses to count.

The boss's voice suddenly rang out from the terminal in front of him: "Okay, Xiao Ming, stop playing."

"I have basically blocked your intelligence, and no one knows about it. There are only the ones you just saw in the bar, and nothing else."

"If you want to know what kind of news about you is circulating outside, just come and ask me, and I will take the initiative to release the news that can reflect your ability."

This is right now.

Chen Ming said why the intelligence dealer who sells intelligence in the bar funded by the boss would sell his intelligence, and he didn't even know him.

And the bartenders outside clearly knew him, knew that he usually wore protective clothing, and didn't associate him with Chen Ming in the intelligence.

It seems that the boss had made arrangements in advance, and many news were blocked tightly, even his subordinates were not told.

So his habit of wearing protective clothing was not leaked.

Of course, the Space Station Management Bureau, where Chen Ming has been for a while, may not be able to control it.

So there are still people who know Chen Ming's habits, such as the captain of the guard that Chen Ming just saw.

But there is the factory director over there, and the company actively wants to "renew the relationship" with Chen Ming, so it is basically impossible to actively leak it.

In addition, there are not many people who know Chen Ming's habits, and they should also take the initiative to protect him.

There are a few people in the management bureau who know Chen Ming's habits and have the motivation to leak them, such as the director.

Now it is difficult to protect himself, and I am afraid he has no mind to think about Chen Ming's daily habits.

So Chen Ming's situation will basically not be noticed by others, even if he is walking on the street openly now, he will not be recognized.

But he thinks he should be more careful, don't wear protective clothing in the future, just wear power armor.

After thinking clearly about the current situation, Chen Ming said to the boss: "Okay, but actually I came to see Lao Wu, and I came to see if there is any information to sell."

"Well, you can handle the rest. I have something else to do. Come to me if you need anything."

The boss hung up the call.

Glasses sitting next to him was a little embarrassed for a while.

He remembered that the boss happened to come when Chen Ming came last time, and Chen Ming also chatted with the boss for a few more words and helped the boss with something.

But he didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a while, Chen Ming and his boss seemed to have a good relationship.

Did he provoke Chen Ming just now?

Of course, Glasses thought so, but Chen Ming obviously didn't mean to pursue the fact that he secretly contacted the boss.

After all, although Glasses did this just to obey the boss's orders, it was also to protect him.

So Chen Ming sat opposite Glasses again, with no intention of mentioning what happened just now.

Glasses breathed a sigh of relief, and a little nervousness and curiosity flashed in his eyes under the lenses.

He suddenly asked, "Are you the Chen Ming?"

Chen Ming did not deny: "Yes."

"Then I will return the 20,000 yuan to you."

Glasses dared not take the money now.

"It's unnecessary, it's too troublesome, just think of it as the wine money I paid for Lao Wu, and if he asks, just say it directly, it's okay."

"Okay."

After a few words, Glasses relaxed a little, looking at Chen Ming, waiting for Chen Ming's next move.

Is it to buy and sell intelligence or something else?

Chen Ming is thinking about what intelligence is worth buying.

However, seeing Glasses's look, he suddenly thought of a question, so he asked: "You just said you would sell me more detailed information, right? What if someone else comes?"

Glasses immediately replied: "I will also say yes."

"That's what the boss asked. He said that as long as someone buys your information, you will only be given the information that was given to you at the beginning. If you want more information, just notify him directly."

"Then if you pay, I will say that the information is very important, and I have to let you contact the boss and let him give it to you personally. I really don't have this much information anymore."

Chen Ming thought about what Glasses said for a while, and said: "I see."

Anyone who wants to get access to Chen Ming's information will be personally asked by the boss, and then decide whether to actively leak some of the information.

At this point, Chen Ming no longer entangled in his information, knowing that his information was well protected.

He said to Glasses, "Then help me check if there are any pirates with bounties over 50 million recently."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

The fundamental reason why Chen Ming suddenly wanted this kind of information was that he had always wanted to build his own fleet, and he was also implementing it.

At this time, Chen Ming used his psychic power to look at the dock of the space station. His ships were basically parked here.

That's why he was targeted by the new director before, and it was also one of the reasons why Chen Ming promised the factory director to kill the director before.

The reason why the director was sweating profusely after knowing that Chen Ming was back, in addition to the good relationship between Chen Ming and the factory director.

Another reason was that the director had previously targeted Chen Ming's things and really wanted to reach out.

Even if he was stopped by the factory director, he had no idea of ​​giving up.

That's why he was afraid, and he went to the guard department and the network security department as soon as Chen Ming visited him.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Ming's current search for pirates.

The reason why Chen Ming wants to find pirates now is just to make some pocket money.

By the way, test his fleet.

Chen Ming used his psychic power to personally control every ship he had parked in the dock, a total of eleven ships.

Refraction, Gladiator and Storm, and two military Centurion-class heavy frigates, which Chen Ming had earned some money to ask Lao Wu to buy.

And, as compensation for the severance of diplomatic relations, the company gave one armor-piercing ship and five hammerheads some time ago.

Seven destroyers and two escorts, this configuration is a bit strange.

Generally speaking, for a normal fleet, as long as it is not a main fleet, the number of ships is preferably one to two or one to three.

For example, ten destroyers are matched with twenty or thirty escorts.

So Chen Ming has to continue to find ways to make up for this number.

However, he needs to use the 7 billion on hand to buy industrial equipment first, and cannot use it casually.

So Chen Ming plans to do his old business for the money for the new ship for the time being, and find a way to make up for it.

If there is any money left after the equipment is bought, he will use it to buy ships.

If he could test the strength of the fleet while making money, it would obviously be more suitable for Chen Ming's current situation than pure money-making.

Of course, this is what Chen Ming has always thought.

Although he already has a large number of Yuhui and Yuhui spaceships, it seems unnecessary to form a fleet.

But he doesn't want to give up on this matter halfway.

In Chen Ming's mind, the colonies belong to the colonies, and his own belongs to him.

Although they are all his, he feels that it is better to distinguish them clearly.

In fact, he had thought about calling a few ships from the Yuhui fleet in his hands, and returning them when he had enough ships.

But another reason why he didn't do so was that the main function of the ships in these fleets before was to transport goods.

So most of the ships in the fleet were cargo ships for transportation, and only a small part were combat ships.

The combat fleet that Chen Ming originally planned was found by Yuhui's main battleship when he evacuated at the end, and the whole army was wiped out.

The colonies in the border galaxies were basically in chaos before, so he had no choice. The lack of combat power was not something he could make up now.

It is best not to move the remaining stationed fleets and try to ensure their combat effectiveness.

What if the battle capacity of the warships that Chen Ming took away caused any problems?

Chen Ming would really regret it for the rest of his life.

These Yuhui are his real assets now.

Moreover, Chen Ming's own fleet only had to face pirates, so he really didn't need a few Yuhui ships.

If the pirate fleet was weaker, and he could operate manually and use psychic power, he could drive a storm to destroy the entire pirate fleet.

Of course, if Chen Ming did this, there would be no value in the test.

That's why he needed information about pirates with a bounty of more than 50 million, and planned to only be responsible for command in the future, and would not personally do it.

Unless he couldn't beat them.

But after eliminating the previous problems, there was still a problem waiting for Chen Ming.

Many of these pirates were funded by someone behind the scenes, and few of them developed from the grassroots and were still pirates.

That's why Glasses asked Chen Ming to confirm whether he wanted to find the news about these pirates, just to confirm whether Chen Ming knew about this matter.

Chen Ming certainly knew.

But he didn't care about other forces.

Anyway, it's basically out of reach in the future, so there's no need to consider it at all.

And it's because of these people's funding that these pirates are valuable enough.

If he can successfully capture these pirates alive, he can earn a bounty and exchange some money with the people behind them.

As long as the people behind them can be informed in advance that these pirates have been captured, those people will definitely be willing to pay.

Get out of jail quickly, change the identity of the pirates and go out, and they will be a "bandit" who can support the bandits and respect themselves.

So Chen Ming finally decided to use this method.

And he has been robbing pirates all the time, but he stopped for a while because Yu Hui's business was too important some time ago. Now it's time to restart.

Glasses quickly found out all the information about the pirates who met Chen Ming's requirements who had appeared in and around the star zone recently.

There are not many, a total of three.

Their bounties add up to less than 200 million, which is really just pocket money to buy spaceships.

If Chen Ming really wants to make money, he still has to rely on his psychic power or colonies.

The former requires others to completely trust him, and the latter requires a long time of investment.

After Chen Ming got the information, he left the glasses.

As soon as he went out, he saw Lao Wu still drinking in the corner of the bar.

There was no one in the bar for most of the day, but Lao Wu still found the girl he liked from somewhere, and he looked like he might run to a hotel at any time.

Chen Ming didn't want to disturb him at first.

But Lao Wu didn't look like he could solve the problem quickly, so Chen Ming went over and greeted him in advance, "Lao Wu."

"Hey, Xiao Mu, have you found Lao Lu?"

Lao Wu was very enthusiastic and pulled Chen Ming to sit on the sofa next to him, without any sign of the look when Chen Ming said he was looking for the factory director.

Chen Ming almost didn't react when he heard Xiao Mu, and then he remembered that this was the pseudonym he used before, Mu Shuikong.

Lao Wu was still very vigilant when he was outside.

After realizing what was going on, Chen Ming nodded and said, "I've found it."

"So you're here to drink? Do you want me to find you a good-looking one?"

"No, I have something to talk to you about. I have to start over with the thing I've been doing for a while, so you may have to go out twice more."

Chen Ming is not safe now, and running around may cause problems, so he still plans to let Lao Wu go out to help collect the bounty as before.

Of course, Chen Ming will definitely not give Lao Wu less errands.

"You're going out in person just for this?"

"Not only that, there's one more thing, buy me some things."

Chen Ming handed the list that Huihuang had sorted out to Lao Wu in person.

Seeing this, Lao Wu pushed away the girl leaning on him and changed his attitude to a normal attitude.

Just as he said just now, if Chen Ming has something simple to talk to him about, he can just contact him directly through the terminal.

Now he's here in person, I'm afraid it's something important.

Old Wu looked at the things on the terminal, opened his mouth slightly, and said with some surprise: "These things..."

"What's wrong? Is it easy to get? If it's not easy, I can go to the boss."

"No, you go to Old Wu to buy things, aren't you just idle?"

"I know, that's why I came to you first."

"Tsk."

Old Wu, who was trying to persuade Chen Ming, rolled his eyes at him instantly.

But Chen Ming ignored him and just asked: "Just say whether you can buy it?"

Old Wu shook his head slightly, nodded and said: "Some things are strange, but if you can accept substitutions, it's still easy to get, they are all very basic things."

The list that Chen Ming gave to Old Wu was made by Huihuang, because Huihuang knew what was needed for the initial construction of a colony.

Only some infrastructure is Yuhui's own internal model, which cannot be bought by humans, and it is not easy to replace it with human equipment.

You need to directly purchase raw materials and equipment that can produce these equipment, and let Huihuang make them, or Chen Ming make them.

Under normal circumstances, Lao Wu only needs to order according to the list given by Huihuang.

But it is obvious that Huihuang missed one thing when writing this list.

There are many things that only Yuhui has, but not necessarily humans.

Of course, this may also be because this list has been written before, and it was not shown to Lao Wu by Chen Ming until today.

Huihuang has been connected to the human network, and should also know which things are relatively rare on the human side.

It's just that Chen Ming didn't specify when this list would be useful, so Huihuang didn't ask Chen Ming to modify it.

Then now is the time.

Chen Ming asked, "What items need to be replaced? Tell me."

Old Wu clicked on the terminal a few times, sent a revised list back to Chen Ming and said, "That's all."

Chen Ming forwarded the list to Huihuang, and after getting Huihuang's answer that it could be replaced, he said, "No problem."

Old Wu clicked on the terminal again and said, "Well, I should be able to help you get it done in two days, but there are too many items, it may take a few days to send them over, and it will definitely cost a lot of money. The amount you need..."

Chen Ming raised his hand to stop Old Wu from continuing: " You know what I want to do, and money is not a problem. "

"I have made a lot of money recently. If I can buy all of them and keep 10% for reserve, I can use the extra money to smooth relations and speed up efficiency."

"It's better to do this quickly. I have been here for too long. If I continue, I don't know what will go wrong."

Old Wu put the terminal in his pocket and said, "Don't be so pessimistic."

"I am not pessimistic, I am analyzing. The factory manager said two days ago that someone is going to cause trouble for you."

Old Wu shrugged and reached out to hug the girl he had just thrown away.

"Okay, that's enough. I will inform you when there is news."

"Okay."

Chen Ming did not continue to disturb Old Wu and continued to have fun.

Old Wu's performance just now also showed that although he was lustful and liked wine, he was basically not vague when doing business.

Chen Ming turned around and prepared to leave.

The moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a tingling sense of danger on his forehead.

Chen Ming reacted very quickly and immediately condensed a combat power armor on his body. The streamlined solid armor completely protected Chen Ming.

This was something that Chen Ming had mentioned intentionally or unintentionally when chatting with Bai Quan before.

Then Bai Quan heard what Chen Ming meant, and very considerately gave Chen Ming a blueprint of a combat power armor called Locust when he gave Chen Ming anti-electromagnetic pulse technology before.

So Chen Ming can make it directly now.

The next moment after Chen Ming made this power armor, a gunshot rang out in the bar.

Followed by screams that instantly made the bar and the surroundings of the bar chaotic.

And Chen Ming's forehead, which was protected by the power armor, also rubbed sparks at the moment the gunshot rang out.

Someone fired a shot and hit Chen Ming's head.

But it was obviously useless.

And An Ren, who fired the gun, had been locked by Chen Ming.

But he didn't move, because Old Wu, who had no protective measures on his body, was still behind him.

Chen Ming took a step back and reached out to grab the arm of Old Wu, who had already turned over and moved behind the sofa.

Old Wu was holding his head and holding a gun at this time, shouting at Chen Ming: "I knew you were a bad mouth. Someone is really looking for trouble with you."

While Old Wu was talking, another set of power armor was built on his body.

Chen Ming said back: "Stop talking nonsense. You knew it before. Protect yourself."

He left this sentence and then took a step.

The man who fired the gun before jumped out of the window of the bar before everyone could react and disappeared in the chaotic crowd outside.

However, Chen Ming had just hacked into the surrounding surveillance network and locked his position.

He couldn't escape.

The locust power armor itself was designed with a jet backpack at the beginning, and it also maintained very strong mobility.

It can be regarded as a special type of power armor given by Baiquan after considering that Chen Ming basically couldn't really use the power armor to fight head-on but was mainly used to save his life.

Chen Ming jumped out of the window where the assassin had smashed the glass, activated his jetpack, and flew high into the sky in an instant.

However, he immediately received the air control signal from the space station, but he obviously didn't care about it at this time.

He quickly notified the boss and the factory manager, and then he found the assassin who had fired the gun before according to the surveillance camera.

It can be seen that he was desperately running towards the dock just now, and it seemed that he wanted to leave directly.

The dock of the space station is the place that is least likely to be blocked in the entire space station.

If it is blocked for one minute, the space station will lose a lot of money.

So it is a very reasonable idea for the assassin to do this.

But Chen Ming will not give him a chance to escape.

After getting close enough, Chen Ming controlled the jetpack to let him hover in the air.

A lot of pure white metal liquid flowed through his hands.

Condensed into a weapon that is most suitable for current use, the electromagnetic javelin of the mechanical family.

It does not look thick in the hands of Chen Ming's power armor, but it looks quite suitable.

Chen Ming raised the electromagnetic javelin.

The power armor visual sensor and the sight of the electromagnetic javelin were connected together by him.

Almost instantly locked the assassin who was desperately escaping.
