I have to admit that although paranoid people don't like to use their brains, they have enough experience and their guesses are not wrong at all.
After the two parties met, they exchanged a few pleasantries, and Claire took the initiative to express that renting the storefront for decoration was purely for the sake of playing tricks on others.
They were transit stars who arrived four days ago. As soon as they landed, they faced a problem: Where can they live to better hide their identities?
Xiangxue made a suggestion. She thought she could rent a storefront and pretend to be doing business.
This idea is really weird, but Mrs. Jia agrees.
So they first found an empty store and then went to negotiate with the landlord.
The rent is not much, just three months.
They said that money was tight and they still had to renovate. They would wait until they had enough money after the trial operation to renew the rent.
The landlord didn't think this request was outrageous... Since it's going to be renovated, it's impossible to leave after paying three months' rent, right?
The old lady and the others did pay some money for doing this, but the benefits are obvious.
Someone came over to check the identity, but considering that these people planned to "invest", the inspection was not so detailed.
No one would think that the suspect at the cusp of the storm would actually be in the mood to rent a store and start a business.
To open a store in the Empire, you also need to apply for various permits, but it is not necessary to apply for them during the renovation period.
Once everything is almost ready, it’s not too late to go through the formalities.
But this "almost" only takes a month or two. With this time as a buffer, you can do whatever you want.
Qu Jianlei was also impressed by their strange operation: How can they still play like this?
But what he is more concerned about is, "We are going to Tianbang. Is it appropriate to make such a big noise?"
Claire replied, "The decision to go to Tianbing actually happened five days ago. Grandma Jia went to the place where she used to practice..."
It turns out that they evacuated from Tianfeng not because they had clear information, but because they discovered potential dangers.
Ever since Qu Jianlei and the other three left, they have been paying extra attention to external news.
Not long after, news came that the Rhodiola rosea team appeared at Lanyun Market.
It is said that the asteroid belt is far away from Tianfeng. No matter how good the Rhodiola team is, this kind of modest news will not attract attention.
However, when it comes to this, we have to mention Baron, because his high-profile bounty has pushed Rhodiola rosea to the forefront.
Mrs. Jia is responsible for inquiring about such high-end news. After hearing this information, her reaction was: Let's prepare to pack things.
To her, the panda's appearance in Lanyun was no accident - he was meant to be there.
What surprised her was how widely the news spread - so many people knew about it, how could Baron not know about it?
Then, there was the information that the Rhodiola rosea team attacked the Tear Star and extorted a large amount of money.
After hearing the news, the old lady asked Bentley and Youyou again: How did the pandas do things in the past?
After confirming that Qu Jianlei had a character that refused to admit defeat, she quickly made a decision: We should leave, now!
Because she was 90% sure that the panda would hit Baron in his next move!
——If that guy didn’t have this kind of mental preparation, how could he go there with only the paranoid and the scorpion?
No matter what, planning for a rainy day is a must! And others also supported her guess.
In other words, Qu Jianlei still underestimated the old lady: when they left Tianfeng, it was earlier than he guessed.
Needless to say what happened next, they rented a storefront in the transit star, while the old lady focused on the land.
When she found someone quietly appearing there, she immediately came back to inquire about the news.
Then she learned that not only did she go to the Sapphire Planet with Rhodiola, but she also encountered a war on the way back.
After all, this is the transit star closest to the asteroid belt. This kind of information is very sensitive and can be transmitted much faster.
The specific situation is still uncertain, but there is a high possibility that Rhodiola rosea is going to be in trouble - the people who are following it will not be in vain!
So they booked the ferry tickets to Tianbing, thinking that they would leave in a few days.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this. After all, he had underestimated everyone in the world.
Anyway, the result was good and the team reunited again.
This time, Qu Jianlei did not dare to underestimate the old lady anymore and took the initiative to ask for advice.
"I want to go shopping for some repair materials. Where is the best place to go?"
The old lady first asked him to tell him what happened. After hearing this, she frowned and waited for a long time before saying anything.
"The digital battleships have been dispatched. We can no longer stay in the Skyhook Star Region, let alone the asteroid belt."
Her words were equivalent to completely rejecting the possibility of going to the abandoned mineral planet.
Qu Jianlei felt distressed again when he thought about the large amount of supplies stored there.
I don’t know if those supplies will still be there when I come back.
But now is not the time to get entangled. He asked in a deep voice, "So...where is the best place to go?"
The old lady's eyes were a little wandering, and after a long time she said, "I have two places to go, one is the warhammer, and the other is the blade..."
Warhammer is considered the prosperous star field of the empire, while Blade is more peripheral.
The old lady prefers to go to Blade. In that star field, the empire’s presence is not strong, and there are many no matter zones.
Warhammer is a mature star field, so she has a relatively safe place to go, but there are more restrictions there.
When the paranoid heard this, he couldn't help but said, "Let's go to Warhammer. We have used blade starships before."
The starship snatched from the Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce has been traded away by Mrs. Jia, and what she got back was an ominous ship.
The old lady is doing something in the Hope Star Territory, and her reliability is certainly guaranteed, but there are no eternal secrets in this world.
Especially since the trap they are trying to poke this time is big enough, under high pressure, it is not surprising at all that there will be some changes.
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he couldn't help but become solemn, "Then I'll purchase it as soon as possible and try to leave within three days."
"Let's leave tomorrow," the paranoid man couldn't help it. "The Warhammer Star Territory is much more prosperous than here, what do you want?"
Qu Jianlei blinked, "Didn't you say that...many sensitive items can only be purchased in the edge star field?"
Mrs. Jia said simply, "Don't think about it. Just give me the list and I'll see what supplies I can buy here."
Facts have proved that when the old lady’s subjective initiative is unleashed, her potential is really scary.
Not only did she select the relevant supplies, but she also went to purchase them herself the next day.
Her purchasing efficiency is much higher than that of Qu Jianlei. Qu Jianlei doesn't know where to buy some sensitive materials.
What's rare is that the old lady still has ready cash and can transport the items on the spot.
Before it got dark, she announced, "I've basically bought everything I need to buy. I'll go to Warhammer to buy the rest. We can go."
However, you have to find a way to leave. There is no need to take a private starship, but you can't let people notice the ominous ship.
That night, after the workers settled their wages, Claire stopped them.
"We are going hunting. We will pay you ten days' wages in advance. If we haven't come back after ten days, we will pay you back when we come back."
There is indeed a place for hunting on the transit planet, and it is very expensive.
There were no decent animals on this planet originally. At most they were single-celled organisms.
Later, after humans arrived, they brought some cold-resistant animals and gradually formed a wild population here.
Anyway, it’s not unusual to hunt for ten days. If you’re interested in it, it’s possible to hunt for a month or two.
Of course, there is also the possibility of never coming back.
There are no very ferocious animals here, and the weapons of the hunters are not vegetarian.
But here is the most ferocious animal in the empire - humans!
Anyway, it is not uncommon to encounter unexpected things while hunting, and quite a few of them are eucalyptus.
However, there is no way to pursue this kind of thing. Most of the people who can come to the transit star are brave and fierce people, and no one is afraid of trouble.
How many of these people are good people? And the victims may not be innocent.
Anyway, the workers have already thought about it. If you don’t come back from hunting in ten days, then we will rest first.
The sun and the moon flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The workers followed their true intentions and stopped work on their own initiative.
Two days later, the landlord came over and asked, "Why has the work stopped? Where are the people?"
After he understood the situation, there was nothing he could do - the tenants had already paid the rent, and they were free to hunt as they wished.
Anyway, he really didn't think that the other party escaped quietly - no one is so stupid, right?
Some time later, someone came over to question him, and he insisted that those people might have died while hunting.
The people who came to investigate did not think that these people could have learned the news in advance and escaped, so no one really suspected the ominous ship.
Later, when the lease term is up, the landlord naturally takes back the house, and the old decorations removed by the tenant do not affect the rental.
In the years to come, when he accidentally thought of these people, he could only sigh: The transit star is indeed a bit dangerous.
I have to admit that Qu Jianlei's team is really full of talents, and this escape was very successful.
At the same moment, Qu Jianlei and his party finally jumped to the Iron Hammer Star Territory.
It's not that they don't want to come early, it's just that...that large group of starship wreckage wastes too much time.
Not only are these wrecks slow, but they also have to avoid people, which is what drags down the journey the most.
There's no way around it. Many of the wrecks are starships unique to the military, and you can tell the difference at a glance.
There are more than ten capital ships, plus many small ships, so one can imagine how huge they are.
After the jump came out, no one dared to stay, and directly accelerated the number.
After all, the greater the mass during the transition, the greater the abnormal spatial fluctuations caused.
They jumped in three waves, but even so, Qu Jianlei was a little frightened when the largest wave jumped.
The fourth master couldn't help but complain, "I can't wait to catch up with the movement of two division-level battleships."
He has commanded division-level battleships and is authoritative in this regard.
"Those two space carriers are not small," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "It's best to leave quickly."
Mrs. Jia had planned the route after the jump, and everyone just ran along the star map.
Well, you can't run too fast, otherwise, many starships will fall apart.
After running like this for a long time, the big-headed butterfly turned suddenly, "Hey, there is actually a space detector?"
