Bentley didn't know much about imperial society, but he was no stranger to this scene.
He has spent most of his life in the Zhouliu settlement, and even if Zhouliu is on a junk planet, it is a highly commercialized place.
He has seen too many such monsters and monsters, and he also understands the possible tricks of the other party. There is nothing new under the sun.
It's just that Zhou Liu's method of preying on the weak is more ruthless and his methods are simpler and more crude.
Clubs like Paradise Star may be a little more secretive, but when it comes to the level of bloodshed, it's not necessarily bad here.
If you look at Tianyin's experience, you will know that whether he is cruel or not has nothing to do with the level of civilization. It is nothing more than eating people and spitting out their bones.
So for these two people, Bentley didn't have a good reputation at all.
Hearing the threat from the other party, he frowned slightly. At this point, he and Qu Jianlei behaved differently.
People on the junk planet never give in - weakness means they can be bullied.
He spoke coldly, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly... Can you say it again?"
The two Class Bs looked at him calmly, and he looked at each other calmly, without any emotion.
Seven or eight seconds later, a Class B smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you are not going to give us face anymore?"
A trace of pity flashed across Bentley's eyes, "Nothing else to say? Come back quickly, it's already dinner time, buy whatever you want to eat."
This is the code word of the garbage star. After all, the food there is not abundant, so it is normal to persuade people to eat their last meal.
However, these two people didn't quite understand it, but they just had an intuition that it was not a good thing to say.
One of them came back to his senses and looked at the other person suspiciously, "You mean... to eat without your head?"
The concept of decapitation also exists in the empire. After all, prisoners in prison cannot be overfed, otherwise they will easily cause trouble, right?
Lao Ben didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. He just asked slowly, "You are going to cut off our business, right?"
If you cut off my business, I'll cut off your head - there's nothing wrong with this statement.
"That's not the case!" Hearing this, another Class B quickly shook his head in denial.
He spoke with a smile on his face, "What he means is that we are all doing business nearby and we need to help each other. We can help introduce them."
This is what people in mixed society are like. If they can be an uncle, they can also pretend to be a grandson.
They wanted to refuse to give in, but they had no choice. The club was in such chaos recently that they simply couldn't mobilize the strength to retaliate.
After all, today's trip was made privately by the two of them in a hurry to gain a position.
It's really a pity to let such a big customer go for nothing.
If you can use both soft and hard tactics and apply it to your own name, it will not only demonstrate your ability to do things, but also make it difficult for others to compete for it.
Their concession means that they will no longer come, and whether others come or not is none of their business.
When Bentley heard this, he sneered disdainfully, "That's all it takes..."
Then his face straightened, "I have made it clear. If your people are not sensible next time, there will be no warning!"
The two B-levels didn't dare to answer the question anymore, turned around and walked away dejectedly.
Qu Jianlei nodded and said nothing more.
Lao Ben's acting style is a bit too tough and not suitable for the rule of law in a society.
Strictly speaking, under normal circumstances, mutual testing and running-in is still necessary.
Du Wuchi of China once said that a dynamic social organization is basically a chamber pot.
To understand it from another perspective, it means that it is sometimes useful and can bring some convenience.
However, it is not a bad thing if the boss is stronger. He can directly tell the other party that he is not someone to be trifled with.
Everyone intends to operate this place as a base, but "being feared by everyone" is not necessarily worse than "loving by everyone".
In the final analysis, there is no need to spend time on this kind of thing. As long as the goal can be achieved, the means are not important.
As for whether the other party may have a grudge and cause trouble? That doesn't matter. If you kill a few chickens in a row, the monkey will naturally be afraid.
In fact, after the two Class Bs left, they were still discussing today's operation.
"These guys are too arrogant. Is this really the case?"
"Let's decide whether it counts or not. Don't worry about them for now. It's our home court anyway. If we get a chance later, we can try again."
Qu Jianlei received this information and shook his head disapprovingly.
If you are so greedy and still look forward and backward, no wonder you can only live in society. The situation is so different...
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
In the farm on Home Planet, Qu Jianlei finally successfully built the ordinary version of the spirit gathering array.
The deduction of the light attribute skills is also progressing relatively smoothly, and he has already calculated the B-level practice method.
This is because he has never been exposed to light attribute techniques. Otherwise, the calculation speed will only be faster.
Anyway, there is nothing going on at the moment. He has rarely set up 80 million computing units, and he plans to further improve the A-level technique.
At this time, the Fourth Master came back with Youyou.
It turned out that they had already applied for their residence permit, and they had spent a lot of time in the amusement park and decided to come back and look after the farm.
The main reason is that they feel that the paradise is too noisy and they feel that their home is more comfortable, which means they want to live there permanently in the future.
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei and the others also went to the paradise to apply for certificates.
What's rare is that the old lady also found a place to issue fake IDs and applied for fake IDs for everyone.
In fact, if you have lived in the park for five years and met the investment and other requirements, you can use your residence permit to apply for formal immigration.
There was no problem with their investment amount, and all they owed was the time limit. It was just that Mrs. Jia was worried about other variables, so she applied for a false certificate.
This operation is indeed safer, but... it is also a good sum of money.
After processing the documents, Qu Jianlei built an ordinary spirit gathering array.
He then returned to Homeworld with Paranoid, Scorpion and Bentley.
From now on, Lao Ben will be in charge of the farm, while Qu Jianlei and the two of them will drive the ominous ship to the Lost Star.
A year has passed, and Xiaohu has repaired three armed merchant ships - including 8384, and six small ships.
Qu Jianlei didn't want to repair the other starships, but Xiao Hu suggested repairing the frigates and a space carrier.
Forget about frigates, space carriers... Qu Jianlei was really scratching his head, "This is a standard warship, and it's very eye-catching!"
Big-headed Butterfly replied plausibly, "But according to my investigation, there are at least five space carriers in the hands of star thieves."
"You have no comparison!" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes when he heard this, "What kind of star thieves are they?"
The star pirate forces with space carriers must be eliminated quickly by the empire.
No matter where it is, as long as an unofficial space carrier appears, it will inevitably attract a large number of warships to encircle and suppress it.
Of course, it would be nonsense to say that the Star Thieves would never dare to use the mothership. Sometimes it is just an effective advertisement.
Xiaohu didn't dare to argue with him, so he could only mutter in a low voice, "What if?"
Qu Jianlei originally wanted to say a few more words, but then he thought: Forget it, Xiaohu rarely has any ideas.
Moreover, if this mothership is not repaired, it can only be thrown away. It is better to reuse the waste, maybe it will be really used.
However, he still wanted to make his words clear, "It will cost a lot of money to repair this mothership, and we have been sitting on nothing."
Over the past year or so, more than 200 million have been spent on banknotes alone, and tens of millions of energy blocks have been spent.
——Just repairing these starships consumes a lot of energy blocks.
The big-headed butterfly sighed anthropomorphically, "Then sell an armed merchant ship as soon as possible."
In addition to No. 8384, there was an armed merchant ship, and Qu Jianlei planned to pay compensation to the family that lost the merchant ship.
After all, someone bought an asylum card and suffered such a huge loss, so it is normal for him to pay compensation for one ship.
If it hadn't been for this reason, he wouldn't have had the guts to seize the other party's merchant ship.
The remaining one can be sold, but the problem is, "It's not easy to sell it for the full price..."
The key is that this is the Warhammer Star Territory, and things of unknown origin are even harder to sell!
In addition, if he wanted to repair the two warships, he had to send some materials over, which really meant only expenditure but no income.
The financial pressure is getting heavier and heavier! Qu Jianlei is even vaguely looking forward to seeing some unsighted person coming to his door.
——Forget it, it’s better not to think about this. It’s rare to have a long-term rest.
After that, the ominous ship came to Paradise Planet again.
As expected, Paradise showed extreme contempt for this starship from the Hope Star Field and inspected it very strictly.
Even if Qu Jianlei and the other three showed their residence certificates, it didn't have much effect.
Fortunately, the inspectors verified the identities of the three people and probably found out that their investment amount was huge, so their attitude improved.
Qu Jianlei came to the paradise this time with the intention of sending Tianyin away. Her identity must be cleared in her homeland before she can obtain a residence permit.
But before that, he still wanted to see how the business of this B&B was going.
But after looking at the bill, he was a little speechless. It had been almost a month since the business started, and the income could barely cover the expenses.
Xiao Qin is in charge of finance, so she is quite optimistic, "It's not the peak season yet, and my reputation hasn't been established yet, but it's already pretty good now."
"It doesn't matter whether you make money or not," Qu Jianlei's heart was bleeding, but he still had to say, "This business is just a cover."
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there anyone who wants to cause trouble for us?"
Needless to say, it was really a surprise because the B&B was of a very high quality. Someone tried to sneak in at night, and they were two reformed warriors.
But they were unlucky enough. It rained that night and they were discovered by the old lady early.
Before they even entered the B&B, they were knocked unconscious for no apparent reason, kept in the cold all night, and quietly left in embarrassment the next day.
After this incident, no one showed up blindly.
Just when Qu Jianlei understood the situation, the big-headed butterfly started turning again.
"In the Skyhook Star Territory, the Alien Management Department is still conducting a large-scale search, and has already captured three wanted supreme..."
Qu Jianlei didn't care much about Skyhook's movements. He had planned to stay in the Warhammer Galaxy for a few years.
But the next moment, his face darkened, "Oops, the materials from the abandoned ore planet..."
