At Qu Jianlei's insistence, Youyou still got into the space mecha - she was not a hypocrite.
After some inspections, she walked out of the cockpit and said, "Everything is normal, well maintained, and the energy block reserves are sufficient."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cursed, "This guy really deserves to die!"
Qu Jianlei did not agree with her, but listened to something with a strange expression, and then sighed.
When Youyou saw this, her heart sank. She subconsciously felt that the situation was a bit bad, "What happened?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "It seems... he is about to surrender."
"Surrender?" Youyou's eyes suddenly widened, "Didn't you just say that you would fight to the death?"
She didn't think that Menninger's threat could scare everyone. At least the people at the base really didn't take threats.
Even other citizens of the empire don't like this - if you want to destroy the ship, don't you have to die too?
"Hey, forget it," Qu Jianlei didn't want to continue, "The question now is, should we take action against that guy?"
They have eliminated hidden dangers, but others do not know about it.
Therefore, it was difficult to make this judgment. He could only ask Youyou for advice - after all, she understood those people's mentality better.
Youyou was stunned for a moment and replied, "I want to take action, but after killing Menninger, can I beat the Star Thief?"
"And our identities...how can we win other people's trust?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her in astonishment, "I thought you would choose to actively participate in the war!"
That's because I have a space mecha. Youyou sighed in her heart: If you leave the mecha to me, how can I sit back and watch you take risks?
But she was embarrassed to answer this, "There must be a reason why they changed so quickly, right?"
"You're right," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Menninge swore that he would not hurt anyone."
"The Colorful Snake Group promised him that they will only rob goods and extort ransom, but will not be cruel to anyone."
"Can you believe this?" Youyou sneered at this, "After surrendering, what should I do if the Star Thieves regret it?"
Almost no one among the Star Thieves has a good reputation, and the Colorful Snake not only robs but also kills people, so it doesn't look like he has a good reputation.
Qu Jianlei's expression became more and more weird, "That Monninger's grandfather... seems to be a supreme being."
"The supreme grandson?" Youyou was immediately stunned. With a grandfather like that, does it need to be so extreme?
But then, her eyes lit up, "I seem to remember who this person is!"
When Youyou arrived at the base, Xiao Moshan was already wanted, which meant that she had not been at the base for long.
There are more than 7,000 people in the base, and if she stays there long enough, she can almost memorize almost everyone.
It wouldn't be a problem to at least remember all the B-class fighters, but now... she really can't do it.
But when it came to her supreme grandson, she finally identified this person.
"His grandfather should be named Kushnir. He was a Supreme from Central City. He later left the base and went to the Empire."
Qu Jianlei thought about it and felt that he couldn't understand the logic. "Is there any explanation in this?"
"There is a saying," Youyou nodded simply, "If you reach the highest level in Central City, you will not enter the canyon, but directly enter the base."
"I know this," Qu Jianlei also nodded, "In order to prevent any harm... we have discussed this topic before."
Youyou looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "If the Supreme Being enters the base, how will his relatives be arranged?"
Qu Jianlei thought about it, this is really a problem. The ultimate warrior is playing with supernatural powers, not cultivating immortals, and there is no separation.
"What would be the arrangements under normal circumstances?"
Youyou really knows the details. She said that usually, the family members of Central City's newly promoted supreme will get the identity of the canyon.
There are those who have reached A level to the highest level, have made breakthrough improvements, and have been directly transferred to the empire.
But don’t think so much about your dearest relatives, especially the people in Central City... are regarded as the natives of the planet!
But it is not very realistic to leave these people in Central City. The base has never dealt with Central City.
Therefore, giving these people a canyon status as an additional reward for the supreme is a good compromise.
Once the Supreme Being misses his family, he can go to the canyon to see if anything happens to his family, or he can inform the Supreme Being through the liaison office.
As for how the Supreme family can develop in the canyon, it depends on their own efforts.
After Kushnir Supreme entered the base, he stayed there for more than ten years. Then he received an order from the empire and left the base.
But his family's development in the canyon was not going very smoothly.
It's not that someone is suppressing him - no one dares to suppress his family members. It's just that there are no particularly outstanding talents in the family.
After Kushnir left, the family was still half-dead, and in the end, it actually seemed to be in a state of decline.
People in the family began to look for people everywhere, hoping to meet their supreme leader and explain the family's predicament.
But no matter who they look for, the answer they get is - your Supreme has left the base!
Everyone in the base knows about the Empire, but very few people in the canyon know about the Empire.
The Kushnir family was from Central City, and the information was more limited, so they always felt that the base was giving excuses.
But it was impossible for the base to tell them too much, so this misunderstanding was never resolved well.
Menninger is a rare rising star among the younger generations of the Kushnir family. He was promoted to Class B in his thirties.
The family simply had a sudden change of heart, consumed the remaining supreme authority and sent him to the base.
After he entered the base, he finally understood where his grandfather had gone.
However, there was a gag order at the base. He did know the truth, but he could not explain it to his family.
A few years ago, a similar thing happened to his grandfather.
But how old was Kushnir when he advanced to the highest level? He had already seen and figured out many things.
Menninger was not good at this point. He was successful at a young age and entered the base of the canyon people who were silent at a young age.
Moreover, his great-great-grandfather was just transferred away, not dead.
It was an iron rule not to discuss the situation in detail with his family, and he did not dare to violate it, but... he wanted to report the situation to his grandfather.
Anyway, he created a lot of trouble in the base, and most people have heard that there is such a person.
Youyou also heard someone say it twice and had a general impression in her mind.
However, Menninger's behavior was too childish and ignorant, and most people in the base kept away from him.
Grandfather is supreme, can he do whatever he wants? We can't afford to offend you, but we can always hide away, right?
It must be pointed out that there are too few supremes from Central City, and Monninger was an exception to the base that he entered when he was still in B level.
Speaking of genius... he does have a bit of it, but he doesn't have access to any circles, and others intentionally or unintentionally avoid him.
To put it simply, he turned himself into a joke, but he didn't feel anything was wrong with it.
Seriously, after he learned the news about his grandfather, he had been filing reports and applying to visit his grandfather on Hope 3.
But this request... is outrageous. The people at the base are equivalent to guarding the border here.
People like Youyou who have only been here for a few years are not qualified to report to visit relatives.
When Monninger applied for the first time, his qualifications were even lower, and he also had a flaw—he was a native of this planet!
According to the empire's management ideas, if the natives want to go out to see the world, the requirements are usually much stricter.
It’s too easy to cause unpredictable things!
Monninger also knew that he was barely qualified, but he just signed up - I went to visit my great-great-grandfather, wasn’t the reason enough?
However, he had ideas and the base had its own rules and regulations, so his applications were rejected every time.
So in the end, his qualifications were barely enough to compete, and the base still rejected him - he was from Central City, maybe next time!
After the next time, or the next time, no one will let him go.
Anyway, if you help such a person, he won't appreciate it. He just thinks it's what he deserves. Why should everyone bother?
Youyou knew the general situation, but didn't know too many details, so she explained it roughly to Qu Jianlei.
What is certain is that Menninger is hated by gods and ghosts in the base, but he has never intentionally harmed anyone.
Of course, maybe it's not that he doesn't have the will, but simply that he doesn't have the ability.
This time he cheated a whole boatload of people, plus a boatload of goods. If you say that this man is kind-hearted but he just doesn't know how to behave, no one will believe him.
But if he endorses his grandfather as the Supreme Being, many people are still willing to believe it.
The supreme deterrence is really that great.
In the past, people did not take Menninger seriously because Kushnir, as a native, should understand the importance of avoiding suspicion.
If Kushnir was as ignorant as Monninger, even if he was the supreme leader, he would definitely be dead and buried in a ditch now.
However, if Monninger endorses the Supreme, that is another matter.
Apart from anything else, no matter how cruel the Colorful Snake Group is, how dare they take the risk of offending a supreme leader and massacre a group of prisoners?
So, if you surrender, just surrender. After all, the opponent is just a star thief, not a cannibalistic degenerate.
Qu Jianlei listened to the general explanation, then filled in the relevant details in his mind, and finally sighed, "Then we...can only admit it?"
He was really unwilling to leave his fate in the hands of others.
Youyou spread her hands helplessly, "We can kill them all, but leaving aside the threat of the Star Thieves..."
"Can we drive this interstellar spacecraft? To be honest, I really can't fly this thing."
Qu Jianlei was silent. No matter how confident he was, he would not dare to say that he could fly an interstellar spacecraft by himself.
Even if Xiao Hu was added, he still didn't have the confidence.
"Then we have to restore the cargo bay to its original state now? But then you won't have a mecha... Is it safe?"
"Why don't I have a mecha? This is my mecha!" Youyou answered without hesitation.
