Lai Yin was not unfamiliar with the topic of Girl Star Territory, and even felt that it was impossible for the other party not to talk about it.
So she had the opportunity to bring up the old conversation again, "When you go to the Maiden Galaxy, you also want to find the way to the highest place, right?"
Qu Jianlei nodded first, then shook his head, "Not entirely."
"Not exactly?" Lai Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded in realization, "Do you still want to enhance your research foundation?"
She has already acquiesced that behind the other party is a powerful force with several supreme powers.
Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head, his eyes a little misty, "Not entirely."
In addition to wanting to find his own path to the Nascent Soul, he also wanted to know where the predecessors in China came from and how they developed.
Lai Yin was stunned for a moment and said, "If there is a suitable opportunity, I can help you introduce the Supreme Being."
Above the highest... Qu Jianlei pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of force does this person you know belong to?"
What kind of power? Lai Yin blinked. Could it be that this person knows more than one supreme being?
After thinking about it, she replied, "It should belong to... In fact, there is really no force that can restrain the Supreme Being."
Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly. This person didn't understand what he was asking at all.
But it doesn't matter anymore, "Okay, if the opportunity is right, I will go to the Sky Handle Star to find you."
He spoke in a coquettish way, with a strong sense of perfunctoryness, and it was not impossible for Lai Yin to hear it.
So she stood up again and said, "That's it. I'll have someone bring 30 million over in a moment. Will it be a banknote or an energy block?"
"Energy blocks," Qu Jianlei replied casually. He still had more than 200 million in banknotes and couldn't use them up for the time being.
Lai Yin calculated the size of the opponent's cargo hold, and then thought about the cargo it carried. It would definitely not be able to hold 30 million energy blocks.
But whose family doesn’t have a few talismans? This is normal.
Lai Yin was a resolute woman. On the second day of the conversation, she led the people out of the market.
Only two crew members and the middle-aged man were left, living in the attack ship and taking care of the damaged starship.
The supplies Qu Jianlei needed also arrived one after another a few days later, including the Haiyin family's weapon systems and ammunition.
These supplies cost him more than 10 million in banknotes, and the total number of banknotes was only 200 million.
Fortunately, the attack ship was sold and 30 million energy blocks were harvested.
Then he drove away in the dilapidated 8384, with a little expectation in his heart.
Many people in the market saw that his starship was loaded with a set of expensive computing units and many energy blocks.
I don’t know if there are any brave people out there who want to rob me?
Or you can face that disgusting guy again. The remaining attack ship in the cabin will make up for the lack of speed.
Lai Yin's armed merchant ships can fight, why can't his?
Unfortunately, Qu Jianlei was well prepared and had a safe journey.
It was half a year later that the dilapidated starship appeared again in Lanyun Market.
This time it didn't come alone. Appearing with it were an armed merchant ship and three attack ships.
Two of them are attack type and one is assault type.
Someone recognized that the armed merchant ship was the cook's former vehicle.
In other words, the cook who had not appeared for more than half a year had indeed fallen into the hands of this force.
Some people secretly called it luck, and some people were wary. Is this another tyrannical master coming?
Qu Jianlei brought these starships for sale, but they ended up selling them for over a hundred days.
He paid 110,000 for the venue fee alone, but not even one of them was sold.
Finally, when he was about to leave, someone came to discuss the purchase. As a result, two attack ships were purchased for 40 million.
The armed merchant ship that Qu Jianlei had high hopes for was not sold.
The price he set for this ship was not high, only 200 million. As a result, the highest purchase price he intended was only 110 million.
All buyers said that your price is indeed not high, but they cannot get a loan to buy your merchant ship!
The asteroid belt is indeed controlled by many big forces, but no one can easily spend 200 million in cash.
Could it be said that the things stolen really cannot be sold at a high price? Qu Jianlei is not sure whether this is an excuse.
Anyway, it was impossible for him to lose 90 million, so he could only turn around in frustration.
A year later, the dilapidated 8384 came to Lanyun Market again.
Qu Jianlei didn't bring any merchant ships or attack ships this time. He just wanted to ask if anyone was interested in buying them.
If no one bought it yet, he would consider asking Xiaohu's clone to send 8384 back and stay in the market for a while.
For more than a year, he has been practicing using the Spirit Gathering Array, and his cultivation has been steadily improving.
But the more he practiced, the more he could feel the upper limit of the spirit gathering array.
It was still early to reach the upper limit, but he was already a little worried that he would not be able to find a formation to continue improving by then.
So he was thinking about whether to sneak into other people's starships and take a trip to Sky Blade or Sky Handle Star.
In any case, if you keep curling up on an abandoned mineral star to practice, you will not only be out of touch with society, but you will also not get new inspiration.
But there is also a problem with using Starship. It is easy to go there, but not very convenient when you want to come back.
He also considered whether to make a jump in a high imitation warship to find the Haiyin family.
However, it is impossible for a high-imitation warship to land on a habitable star.
Although there are many choices, none are particularly suitable and there are always flaws of one kind or another.
Qu Jianlei thought that if he stayed in the market for a little longer, he might be able to find a better way to break the situation.
This was his plan. He didn't expect to wait until the day of the big gathering when someone came to discuss the purchase of armed merchant ships.
The other party offered 180 million, which was very sincere, but Qu Jianlei said that he was not in a hurry to sell.
——I haven’t brought any goods, you should know what I mean.
As a result, the buyer offered a new condition, 200 million can also be considered, but you have to help me look after the mine for two years.
In the asteroid belt, hiring armed merchant ships to guard mines is also a common practice.
But obviously, this kind of job is not something you can just get, you must at least have convincing abilities.
This also means that Qu Jianlei's elimination of the cook's team has brought some positive effects.
He thought about it for a while and said that the price of 20 million for two years was a bit low - after all, I have a team.
As a result, the other party said, "You don't have many people in your team. Everyone saw it. We also discussed this matter very sincerely."
A year ago, 8384 stayed in this market for more than a hundred days, and at most he only got off the starship alone.
Otherwise, time can prove everything best. No matter how much he conceals it, he cannot withstand the observation and analysis of others.
In fact, for Qu Jianlei, where to practice is not a matter of practice? He just wants to make more money.
If the armed merchant ship that is about to fall on your hands can be sold, the cash flow will reach an unprecedented 400 million.
Since the other party said this, he asked carefully where the mine to be guarded was.
This mine is really not simple. It is located in the Godley star, which is currently the third largest star in the asteroid belt.
The star has a diameter of more than three thousand kilometers, a thin atmosphere, and three large mines on it.
The three major mines belong to different forces, and the one currently employing him is the Purcell Consortium.
Qu Jianlei agreed to the order and drove away in a tattered 8384.
Ten days later, 8483 and the cook's warship arrived at Godley.
Before landing, he received inquiries from the ground.
After the other party learned that he was a guard of the Purcell Consortium, he ordered him to land in a certain area, and his attitude was quite blunt.
There was nothing he could do. It was his first time here and he accidentally entered another family's territory. It was strange that the other party's attitude was so good.
From this we can also see that the relationship between these three mines is not very good.
The scope of the Sayer Consortium mine is not small, covering more than 100,000 square kilometers, and there are currently two major mining areas.
Under the guidance of the ground, 8384 brought another starship down, and the mine quickly sent people over to check the condition of the starship.
One day later, all-round testing was completed, and the other party paid a bank check of 180 million.
The remaining 20 million banknotes will be paid in the form of 10 million per year.
This method of working first and paying later feels a bit unfair to Qu Jianlei.
However, the other party said that he can choose cash or energy blocks when the time comes, which is also a good condition.
After all, in the asteroid belt, energy blocks are not only hard currency, but also have a certain degree of premium.
After the delivery was completed, the starship sailed away from Godley, leaving only 8384 to protect the mine.
The other party also asked if they need to provide accommodation, food, etc., and the price will be more favorable.
Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation - even if he wanted to agree, he had to be able to become a good person, right?
He learned about it, chose a place without ores, and drove the starship over.
Then, under the attention of the mine, he walked out of the starship alone and began to seal the knot.
Followers couldn't help but comment, "This guy should be A-level, but what is he going to do?"
"No, is it an A-level earth attribute? Are you building a house?"
Qu Jianlei's method is quite simple and crude.
He first raised a piece of rock, then used fossils as mud, and used the mechanical arm of an armed merchant ship to dig out a large hole.
Half of the large hole is underground, which is equivalent to a semi-underground hangar - strictly speaking, it is called a ship hangar.
Then he began to repair the stone door, using a simple push-pull method.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qu Jianlei completed the construction of his residence by himself in only half a day.
The people in the mine couldn't help but marveled, "Isn't it true? Is there really such a tough A-class?"
"It can't be the highest, but the problem now is that this shipyard seems to have poor protection."
"If it can be built like this, can we discuss with the other party to improve our accommodation conditions?"
"Don't even think about it. It's insulting to ask Class A to do civil construction. People only do this to their own family members."
"But doing this means that the battleship has given up its ability to observe, isn't it?"
"Information can be shared, but... you have to give the other party a high-power mobile phone."
