Chapter 973: Chapter 839: Drank Too Much

Qu Jianlei and the other two’s revenge debut was a great success, ending with a huge harvest.

What’s particularly rare is that they seized two armed merchant ships, which are in good condition, and the ships are loaded with a large amount of ammunition.

Clearly, Sanhe intended to deal with them, but unfortunately got blocked in the shipyard, giving them a real bargain.

Of course, you can’t say the other party is cowardly; if they really dared to fight hard, Qu Jianlei and the others would definitely slaughter them mercilessly.

Anyway, in this battle, despite some ammunition consumption, Qu Jianlei now commands seven combat-ready starships!

They came fast and left just as quickly, heading straight for their second target, the ”Gem Blue” Star Body.

The primary mineral of Gem Blue is copper, which isn’t too rare, but the key is that there is a large presence of water molecules.

Water molecules are a valuable resource in space; although they can be recycled, but... you can understand by looking at Lanyun selling air.

Gem Blue Star Body has several mining companies, one of which belongs to the Feiying Group.

Feiying is larger than Sanhe, but hasn’t reached the level of the Sail Consortium; it’s not considered a top force in the asteroid belt.

This group is precisely the second entity to ignore the Rhodiola rosea Shelter Card, forcing another starship onto the battlefield, causing it to be injured.

To Qu Jianlei and the others, coming to Gem Blue Star Body poses much greater risks than going to Tears Star Body.

First, this star body has mines from multiple forces, and second, the Feiying Group is on the opposite side of the Sail Consortium camp.

In other words, privately colluding with Balrog is more likely for this group.

Logically, Qu Jianlei’s priority target should be Gem Blue, at least to take the opponent by surprise.

After attacking the Tears Star Body and then coming here, there would virtually be no element of surprise.

But when the three discussed, they all chose Tears first without hesitation, so there’s nothing more to say.

However, this shows that these three are not only stubborn but also not afraid to escalate things!

Actually, the words of the paranoid very much represent everyone’s mood—”Since we can’t escape it, let’s go for it hard.”

Of course, despite how they all feel, they also made thorough preparations during navigation.

They replenished ammunition and energy blocks for each warship, then surprisingly found two small ships inside the two armed merchant ships.

The only worry probably lies with Little Lake.

Big Head Butterfly spun in Qu Jianlei’s mind, ”Central control system... even Pioneer is used, but still lacks terminals.”

No choice, the total number of ships now capable of fighting has reached thirteen.

The original central control systems in each starship aren’t unusable, but their performance is really not up to the Pioneer Terminal.

Moreover, some starships might be sold in the future; if possible, it’s best not to easily change the underlying logic of the central control system.

In fact, even Pioneer and Baofeng were only adequate because Qu Jianlei had purchased several units recently.

It took them five days to travel from Tears to the Sapphire Star Body, and they flew straight without any detours.

The leading ship was still the highly recognizable dilapidated starship, with the first planned purpose being to detect potential ambushes.

Yet before the 8384 ship reached Gem Blue, they got intercepted halfway.

Their interceptors were a company-level military warship.

Of course, this was no trouble for Qu Jianlei; he directly projected the special military pass, ”Important military affairs, please make way!”

The opposite side was evidently well-prepared and, after carefully checking the documents, stated, ”The pass is genuine; can you tell us your mission?”

”Do you think you’re qualified to know?” the paranoid coldly replied, ”Please identify yourself now.”

Having worked as a non-staff member at the Divine Text Association, he’s not unfamiliar with this military routine.

The opposing warship hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not reveal their identity.

Clearly, the warship might be maintaining order but is likely involved in black money dealings; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so offensive.

Seeing the 8384 ship not yielding, the warship didn’t pursue further—they had already fulfilled their mandate by stepping forward for an inspection.

The other side even helpfully advised, ”The Star Realm Military Region is rigorously enforcing order here recently, best to keep things quiet.”

But this advice was blatantly ignored by Qu Jianlei, who candidly asked, ”How much did you take in bribes?”

The other side burst into anger, ”Sir, although you have a pass, you’re ultimately not military personnel; I’d advise you to watch your words!”

The implication was even clearer: I know how you got your pass!

The Liu Qingyu Supreme issued pass is effective, but the frontline military executing tasks can really disregard it.

Qu Jianlei didn’t buy it, ”Caution? That’s exactly what I want to say; I advise you not to play with fire!”

”Believe it or not, if I blow up your warship now, there wouldn’t be any consequences?”

He’s truly ready to play rough, but he’s genuinely confident; a Supreme blowing up a company-level warship isn’t a capital offense.

Considering the factor of the pass, he might not even face charges—this is a certificate issued by the Military Region.

Of course, if he were a real soldier, he probably wouldn’t say such ruthless words, given the camaraderie.

However, since the other side exposed his identity, he won’t be polite anymore.

On hearing this, the opposite side was stunned—you’re not military, dare to look down on us like this?

In the end, soldiers have their own pride. Even if the other party is Supreme, as long as they’re not military, so what?

It’s worth knowing that in the Imperial society, those criminal Supremes are mostly caught by the military.

However, at present, this warship cannot act out as the other party has a military permit, even if it’s fake it’s considered real.

What makes them angry is: You already know it’s fake, yet you dare to threaten us?

But ultimately, the military personnel sighed, ”You and I are both soldiers, I just want to ask one thing, is it wrong to dutifully perform?”

Qu Jianlei was not interested in debating—do you call taking money to do things ”dutifully performing”?

He merely stated blandly, ”Get out of my sight, otherwise I don’t mind killing!”

”You... how dare you talk this way?” the other side was indeed both shocked and angry, ”We are following the Star Realm Military Region’s orders!”

Liu Qingyu Supreme’s influence is indeed great, but he is merely the Guardian Supreme of the Celestial Handle Star’s Military Region, a level below the Star Realm Military Region!

”Don’t push me to kill,” Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, ”Last warning... hurry up and leave!”

The opposing warship, hearing this, turned and quickly departed without saying anything.

Indeed, there’s no choice but to leave, once the other party acts out, then they’ll truly be as the other person said—dead for nothing!

The little secrets they fiddled with privately, the other side is clearly well-aware and not easily fooled.

Moreover, what is more fatal is that the other party doesn’t lack channels to communicate with superiors.

So after probing several times and realizing the opposite is not to be trifled with, they decisively retreated—getting burned for such things isn’t worth it at all!

However, the voice in the public channel didn’t stop, ”If you incite people to go to Gem Blue, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The opposing warship, seemingly not hearing it, went straight away.

In fact, how could they possibly not hear it? The opponent’s words are a severe warning—they don’t want to see warships at Gem Blue!

They genuinely dare not ignore this warning, or else if something happens, their side could very much get implicated!

So whether they like it or not, they must dissuade other warships from heading to Gem Blue.

If someone is unwilling and wants to challenge Rhodiola rosea, then they must clarify things and dissociate themselves.

Precisely because of this, when ship 8384 arrived at Gem Blue, not a single warship was found nearby!

Actually, there was occasionally a warship patrolling around originally.

But upon learning that Rhodiola rosea was so arrogant and unreasonable, everyone vanished.

Within the military, there are indeed people with backbone, defying Supreme isn’t considered a big deal.

However, this Supreme even has a military permit, dares to act recklessly... the problem is this enmity is not much related to the military!

Thinking back carefully on this episode, it really has a touch of black humor.

If nobody benefited, trying their luck to block Qu Jianlei, there might still be military ships patrolling near the star body right now.

Ship 8384 quickly approached Gem Blue, without much ado, released a powerful electromagnetic disruption bomb.

The fierce electromagnetic interference instantly wiped out the capabilities of all satellites at the edge of the star body.

Qu Jianlei paid close attention to covering up battlefield information.

A few days ago at Tears Star Body, he initially attacked the artificial satellite, intending to make the opponent lose sight and not have a chance to call for aid.

Gem Blue’s forces are quite numerous, each having their own satellites, difficult to distinguish by appearance, making indiscriminate attacks inconvenient.

Thus, the interference bomb is an appropriate choice—this thing causes range damage, indiscriminate between friend and foe.

Anyway, in the universe, mysterious, powerful electromagnetic waves often appear without any pattern, so there’s no need to bother explaining.

The next moment, a ragged starship appeared above the star body, a voice sounded in the public channel.

”Rhodiola rosea’s team only deals with Feiying... it’s none of anyone else’s business! Everyone don’t make a mistake!”

The words were a bit arrogant, but much more polite than Seven’s direct actions at Tears, he didn’t want to make more enemies.

However, arrogance is also necessary, the renowned Rhodiola rosea team can’t lack an air of authority?

Yet the next moment, a voice discontentedly spoke, ”Rhodiola rosea... we have also heard your name for a long time.”

”But immediately destroying our satellite, what’s the meaning of this?”

”Well,” Qu Jianlei was indeed a bit surprised, truly there are stubborn people everywhere.

”Whether I destroyed the satellite, think whatever you want... sounds like you’re a bit dissatisfied? State your name!”

”It seems...” the opposite voice abruptly stopped.

Qu Jianlei glanced at the control room screen and understood—the 8384 ship was followed by three other starships.

Besides the warship obtained from the Customs Enforcement Division, the other two were recently snatched armed merchant ships at Tears Star Body.

—This news can’t be kept from others, hiding two starships would only lead to unnecessary assumptions.

The next moment, a different voice was heard in the channel, ”Sorry, sir, he drank too much, please ignore him.”
