There are more than 20 people in the Ping An Merchant Group, two A-level and one B-level.
They were not sure what kind of cultivation this old lady had - anyway, she was at least a senior A-level.
But Mrs. Jia's understatement made everyone put away their inappropriate thoughts.
Some things are difficult to describe in words. The old lady's lazy attitude is one aspect, but it is by no means limited to that.
In the stone room, a group of people fell into silence. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was quite depressing.
Fortunately, most of these people have been traveling in space all year round, and their psychological tolerance is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Everyone was immersed in this strange silence. After an unknown period of time, a very low muffled sound was heard.
Everyone looked sideways and found that the stone door opened and the four people who had just left walked in.
"Okay," Hua Scorpion raised his hand and pointed at Kading and Lao Qi, "You two come out and help clean up."
Seeing this, Duoduo stood up and said, "Sir, how are you?"
She was mainly worried that the other party wanted to take away her only two A-levels. In that case, how could she resist if something happened?
"It's just two armed merchant ships," Hua Xingzi replied lightly, "but there is a supreme one."
When the people from the Ping An Merchant Group heard this, they were all stunned. Although they also thought about victory, this was... too fast, right?
Hearing this, Duoduo hurriedly bent down to get the space suit, "I'll go and have a look too, okay?"
"Whatever you want," Hua Xiezi replied nonchalantly, "By the way, is there anyone who can't keep their mouth shut about what happened today?"
She really didn't want to emphasize this point, but... she had to say it.
Kading originally had a trace of doubt in his heart, but now he is completely relieved.
The logic lies there. If the other party is really colluding with the pursuers, there will be more people coming in.
The three of them followed them out of the settlement, and when they saw it, they were stunned.
Duoduo spoke a little quickly, "Two armed merchant ships...are they so complete?"
There are a total of five starships parked on the vast wasteland outside.
Three of them were the Ping An Merchant Group's own starships, and the other two were armed merchant ships in pursuit.
Both armed merchant ships have skull symbols on them. At a glance, you can tell that they belong to the Star Thieves force.
Both the entry and exit hatches of these two starships were blown open.
There are still some human remains scattered on the wasteland, scattered as far as the eye can see.
The battle must have taken place, but even the attack ship was not released, which looked a bit strange.
Kadin and Lao Qi boarded the starship, which was littered with human remains, but there was no sign of a fierce fight.
The task they received was to clean the interior of one of the merchant ships, but they did not need to take care of the ammunition and supplies.
But for A-level warriors, this kind of work is still a bit overwhelming.
After working for a while, Kading found Hua Scorpion, and he could see that this person seemed to be the main person responsible for communication.
He suggested calling other people to help, even if they were wearing spacesuits to work. The speed would be slower, but there was strength in numbers.
Hua Xiezi agreed to his request, and not long after, a dozen people came out again.
After working for a while, Duoduo found Hua Scorpion again and asked if another starship wanted to be cleaned.
Hua Scorpion shook his head, "No need, that starship will be used to dismantle and repair the existing two ships."
"Dismantle...repair?" Duoduohaoxuan thought he heard wrong. Starships can also be repaired here?
After getting a positive answer, she returned to her own people and spread the news.
"This is the real genius!" Lao Qi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "He is worthy of doing scientific examinations."
Having heard that the other party claimed that he was doing scientific examinations before, everyone was still a little skeptical.
Even when they saw the energy block extractor rubbed by hand, everyone just thought that the other party was a bit powerful.
After all, the principle of an extractor is very simple.
But if you can repair a starship under such conditions, then you are really not an ordinary person.
It took a day for everyone to clean up the starship, and they couldn't help but start talking after they returned.
Several attack ships were still in the merchant ship, and the battle was over. I don't know how the other side did it.
But the starship can be repaired, which is a good thing.
The armed merchant ship of the Ping An Merchant Group was too seriously damaged and has lost the ability to jump.
If it cannot be repaired, it will take a long journey in space, at least several years, to find a habitable planet and land on it.
In this process, a lot of energy blocks are needed to survive, and many possible dangers must be faced.
In the vast space, there are too many unpredictable risks.
It is precisely because of this that they think of replenishing energy blocks, which is not only a need for combat.
Everyone discussed excitedly for a while, and Duoduo found Mrs. Jia again and wanted to know how long it would take to repair the starship.
The old lady shook her head, "It depends on them. I don't know much about this."
A few days passed, and everyone stayed in the stone room, and some doubts arose again.
Only this old lady stays here, where are the others?
However, after this period of contact, everyone has felt that the old lady is definitely an extremely powerful existence.
Therefore, others did not dare to ask questions easily and could only communicate with Duoduo.
She said that she felt a little depressed after staying in the stone room for a long time. Could she go out for some exercise?
Mrs. Jia can still satisfy them with this small request.
When everyone came out, they saw that a merchant ship owned by a star thief had been cut into eight pieces.
Our own merchant ship is waving its mechanical arm to repair another starship.
They wanted to take a closer look, but were stopped by Hua Scorpion, "Go somewhere else to relax, don't go too far."
Duoduo plucked up the courage to ask, "Do you have any other place to live?"
She didn't want to pry about anything, but mainly because the boss, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, could "seize the opportunity"?
Hua Scorpion nodded, "There is one more place, but don't ask about it."
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and then asked the question that everyone was most concerned about, "How long will it take to repair it?"
"It will take almost three months," Hua Xiezi was also very concerned about this and discussed it specifically with the boss.
"The Star Thief was repaired first because it was relatively lightly damaged."
Three months... is really not much, and it is obviously another piece of good news.
In the following days, the people in the Ping An Business Group completely relaxed.
Although this place is extremely desolate, the pursuers have been wiped out and the schedule for returning home is clear. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
The only regret is that except for the old lady and Hua Scorpion, who take turns guarding them, there is no one else they can come into contact with.
Three months later, the two starships were completely repaired. During this process, Qu Jianlei built three more extractors.
However, even so, the accumulated energy blocks are less than 30 million.
It mainly dismantles and repairs starships, which uses a lot of energy.
On this day, Qu Jianlei finally appeared in front of them, "Okay, pack up and prepare to leave."
The people from the Ping An Business Group approached the starship and were surprised to find that there were not only five people on the other side, but seven!
But at this time, no one cares about this anymore - it is normal to keep some trump cards when you are away from home, right?
Seriously, if you can accompany these people, it will definitely not be easy, and everyone's return trip will be safer.
Qinghu and Xiao Moshan boarded the star pirate's armed merchant ship, and Quan assumed control of the starship.
Xiao Moshan has just broken through to Level A for a month, and his aura is not very stable yet, so he might as well avoid it.
The two starships took off one after another and left the star.
Seeing the star behind him gradually moving away from the smaller star, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I've been stuck here for so long!"
The old lady was in a good mood and replied with a smile, "It's good to come out alive."
Flower Scorpion goes to the other party to communicate about follow-up matters.
There was a lot of free time on interstellar voyages, and it didn't take long for us to talk about everything.
In the end, the other party insisted on communicating with Qu Jianlei to confirm certain things.
The ones who came to negotiate were Kadin and Duoduo. They hoped that the other party's team would be stationed in the Ping An Merchant Group for a period of time.
In the past three months, the two parties have not had much contact, and neither Hua Scorpion nor the old lady is a talkative person.
However, the actions of Qu Jianlei and his team have shown that they are not extremely evil people, but rather very trustworthy.
As for the price, Ping An Commercial Group offered 30 million per year.
If there is a Supreme in the opposite team, it can be increased to 50 million.
Of course, this is just a preliminary intention. If the other party is not satisfied, the price can be raised.
In addition, they hope to cooperate with Qu Jianlei's team to develop the star with the energy stone.
Ping An Business Group is responsible for all mining, refining and transportation, and only takes 30% of the profits, with 70% going to Qu Jianlei's team.
However, they hope to open up the channels of the empire and conduct regular mining.
Formal mining procedures are complicated and taxes and fees are high, but once private mining is discovered, the consequences will be too serious.
The expenses incurred here will be borne by both parties in proportion.
Ping An's request for 37-7 shares is not much. They want to try their best to win over this team and find a reason to maintain long-term cooperation.
Qu Jianlei has always been reluctant to participate in the industry, but this opportunity... I really can't refuse.
The energy block is an urgent need for the team, and although he did not discover the star, they arrived first.
Once the team leaves and is allowed to be exploited by the Ping An Business Group, he will feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, it may be considered to open a stronghold in the Tianhe Star Region.
The main reason is that the profit distribution is also very sincere, and he doesn't even bother to bargain.
Now that we have decided to cooperate, the supreme leader in the team can explain it.
"Don't worry, among the seven of us, there are more supreme beings than non-supreme beings."
As soon as these words came out, Duoduo and Kading were stunned.
They had imagined that there were supreme beings in the opponent's team, but at most there were only one or two, and at most three.
The main target of speculation is the boss, and the second one is Mrs. Jia - after all, one person dares to guard a group of them.
If there is a third person, it might be Paranoid or Mu Yu, but Hua Xingzi is obviously not one.
Now the other party said that there were at least four supreme beings. While the two of them were happy, they were also a little scared.
I almost broke up with him at first - it seems that when you are away from home, you should be more serious.
