After Qu Jianlei traveled through time, he adhered to a principle: saving people cannot be in vain, and must be paid.
In Blue Star, he didn't have this problem, but there was no such thing as "helping others" in the empire.
Their general philosophy is: the life and death of others has nothing to do with me.
Of course, there is no shortage of Our Lady at any time, especially when your conditions are relatively superior.
Qu Jianlei felt that he was not qualified to be a Holy Mother, so being different would attract other people's attention, which was not in line with his low-key style.
The middle-aged man was about to answer, but the woman spoke first, "Five million, take us to a place where we can go back."
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he was quite kind, and he could earn five million along the way.
If the other party is placed in Lanyun Market, this group of people will definitely not be able to use five million when they go back, and the ten million offered before will not be used.
But that's not how the accounts are calculated. People have also wasted time and still need to work in the middle.
Who is in a hurry when traveling in space? The disgusting person I met a while ago was purely an accident.
So he shook his head, "Five million is too much. One hundred thousand or seven hundred thousand per person is fine, but it requires banknotes or gold."
In fact, silver dollars are fine, but seeing as the lifeboats this wave of people are riding in are so small, how could there be so many silver dollars?
No one was surprised by this cash request, and the ice-type woman answered without hesitation, "No problem."
However, a young man asked aloud, "Why does it cost one million to send it to the stars, but only 700,000 for the way?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him helplessly, "One is a detour and the other is a side trip, what do you think?"
The young man was an awakened person who had just reached C level and didn't seem to have much experience. "Then why don't you want the energy block?"
Qu Jianlei heard this and asked, "I do want it, do you have it?"
The young man wanted to speak, but the middle-aged man snorted coldly, "That's enough, don't mess around."
The young man was a little unconvinced, "But obviously we have energy blocks, just go and get them."
Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
"Nothing else," the middle-aged man shook his head, "I had a fight with a passing starship two days ago..."
Two armed merchant ships got into a fight, but the other side was injured and escaped.
They wanted to leave, but unexpectedly the power system exploded and was damaged.
It was possible to call for help just by staying on the merchant ship, but the other party left harsh words before running away, saying that the matter was not over yet.
So they left some crew members on the merchant ship, and the main characters escaped in the lifeboat.
What the young man means is that there are millions of energy blocks on the merchant ship, and it won't take long to go back and get them.
Of course, it would be better if this armed merchant ship could tow away the injured merchant ship.
He was right to think so, but there was something seriously wrong with this suggestion.
First, the other party needs to change its route, which involves a considerable amount of energy.
Most importantly, his proposal is likely to involve the merchant ship in disputes.
It can even be said that this suggestion is obviously suspected of "pulling people into trouble".
Someone came to the rescue with good intentions, but the rescuer repaid the favor with a grudge - this is too unethical.
The middle-aged man knows very well that those who dare to embark on interstellar voyages rarely lack brains, and caution is an essential quality for crew members.
If the other party suspects one's intentions, once the attack occurs, the lives of one's group will be in danger.
That's why he spoke out to stop him - he was still young after all, and his words were simply out of his mind.
Qu Jianlei rubbed his eyebrows, and found that the other party's explanation was indeed reasonable and sincere.
However, he had some curiosity, "We are all sailing in the interstellar space, how can we get into a fight between good people?"
He has decided that if the other party is vague, or if the two opposite families obviously have a grudge, he will never get involved.
But if it weren't for these reasons and it was just for the other party's honesty, he might consider whether to reach out.
After all, it's all about money. I don't know when this tight life will end.
However, after listening to the other party's explanation, the expression on his face was extremely strange.
The co-author, like him, also encountered a "disgusting person", and his experience was very similar to his.
This group of people also had bad tempers. They fired warning shots in the same manner, and finally got angry and started fighting.
Couldn't it be the same guy? Qu Jianlei felt that there couldn't be too many such weird characters among the crew of Interstellar Navigation.
From an objective point of view, the vast majority of crew members who are in space all year round are not good birds, and honest people cannot afford this bowl of rice.
Because interstellar navigation is boring, it is normal for crew members to bully them casually when they encounter a soft persimmon.
But their main purpose is just to have fun and pass the boring time.
Such behavior can easily lead to a fight between two starships. Even if the crew wants to do this, the captain must agree.
This is a starship, and ordinary people cannot afford it with ten lifetimes of salary.
He pondered for a moment and then spoke, "How much will it cost if I help you tow that starship to a place where it can be repaired?"
The others on the other side were obviously stunned. The A-level woman looked at him and said hesitantly, "Ten million?"
The asking price was obviously a bit low, and she added, "The key is not too much cash and energy blocks."
The main reason is that there is another point that is also very important. The other party is obviously along the way, "otherwise, just drag it to the place where you can return to Tianpin."
It doesn't matter whether you cultivate or not. Once you get to a safe place first, you can take your time with other things.
Qu Jianlei nodded without hesitation, "Yes, but if there is a battle, you will have to pay more."
"Your Excellency," the middle-aged man gave a thumbs up, "but I would like to ask, can this merchant ship... be able to fight?"
No wonder he asked that. When he first saw an attack ship, he thought it was a very tyrannical force.
When we arrived at the merchant ship, it was really miserable and in disrepair.
Even if there is an attack ship in the cargo hold, it will be in vain if the main battle starship cannot keep up.
Qu Jianlei glanced at him indifferently, "I don't mind being used as a knife by you, do you think I'm stupid?"
"Okay, I took the liberty," the middle-aged man felt relieved after hearing what the other party said.
Is the tatters just a disguise? The water in this asteroid belt is really not that deep.
However, in the end, he still had to finalize something, "Excuse me, please go and talk to the captain. Can you take me to see him?"
The one in front of you is the captain! Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly, I am the only captain and crew member on this merchant ship!
"Sorry, I can't... You guys have to live and eat in the cargo hold and are not allowed to enter the main cabin. Is there a problem?"
An older woman was shocked when she heard this, "Food and accommodation are easy to talk about, but when it comes to bathing..."
Bathing is just an excuse. After all, there is no bathroom in the cargo hold.
"Then we'll just have to make do," Qu Jianlei replied expressionlessly, "If you can't bear it anymore, you can leave."
After everyone heard this, they all looked at the A-level woman - this person's feeling is the most important.
The woman nodded simply, "It's easy to say, this little pain is nothing."
As an A-level person, she has no problem going without eating or sleeping for days and nights.
On weekdays, she attaches great importance to the quality of life, but what time is it now, why should she be pretentious?
After they pointed out the fighting area, Qu Jianlei's expression was a little strange.
But the big-headed butterfly was already spinning in his mind, "Isn't this the battle we encountered while driving?"
Let me just say, Qu Jianlei pouted speechlessly, no matter how chaotic the asteroid belt is, there won't be so many battles.
They rushed more than one million kilometers away and found the starship whose power had been completely destroyed.
This starship is not particularly large, but its armor is very thick and there are many weapon holes, making it difficult to provoke at first glance.
Qu Jianlei was a little stunned when he saw it. Anyone who dared to attack the brains of this starship was really not so reckless.
There are crew members guarding the starship, and some weapons can even be used.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man revealed his identity in advance, and the other party did not react much.
8384 stretched out his mechanical arm, locked the starship under his belly, turned around and accelerated away.
Immediately afterwards, another request came from the starship below, hoping that the crew could enter the merchant ship.
Because the power system was destroyed, the crew of the starship could only survive in a closed space, and there were still wounded who needed to be treated.
Qu Jianlei still had the same attitude, he could come in, but he could only stay in the cargo hold.
Fortunately, there are only about twenty people in this starship. No matter how small the cargo hold is, there is no problem in accommodating them.
Seeing that they were settled, Qu Jianlei nodded and climbed up the stairs into the main cabin.
After the main cabin door was closed, there was a lot of discussion below.
Some people are telling their experiences, while others are asking for news.
Some people even circled around the two attack ships, "It's a pity that we don't have this thing on our starship, otherwise they wouldn't be able to escape."
A stout C-class warrior walked up to the A-class woman. He was a left-behind personnel on the starship and had rich combat experience.
His loyalty was unquestionable, and he whispered at this moment, "This starship... feels a little weird."
The woman shook her head, "Don't say more...they saved us after all."
The C-level soldier also knew that she was worried about the microphone in the cargo hold, "I'm a little worried about us wounded..."
"I have medicine here," Qu Jianlei's voice came from the loudspeaker, "The cost can be settled later."
In fact, when he said this, he also meant a clear warning: rest honestly and don't force Lai Lai to talk so much.
The C-level soldier moved his mouth, and finally sighed silently: I want to strive for a better environment for recuperation.
The A-level woman pondered for a moment and spoke, "Are there any A-level crystals? I'll buy one for half a million."
It is true that she does not have many A-level crystals in her hand, but more importantly, she wants to test whether the other party has an A-level awakener.
The aura of that ordinary guy just now was elusive to her, so she couldn't rule out the possibility that he was A-level.
"Fifty thousand one? Okay," Qu Jianlei answered simply, "I want to pay with energy blocks. How many do you want?"
