Chapter 205 Interstellar Beauty (4)
“Okay.” Wangyou followed Xiaobang into an office.
Why did you bring me here?
"Nothing else, I just wanted to ask if you sell this mecha? If you do, our military can buy it," Chopin asked, his eyes shining.
"These? No way! These are my crew from when I was a space pirate. I can't sell them to you. We'll be enemies in the future. How could I possibly strengthen my enemies so they can turn against me?" Wangyou relaxed and even felt like teasing people, although she might really be thinking that way.
"No way! Nobody's chasing you, why are you thinking of becoming a space pirate!" Chopin glanced at Wangyou, but couldn't see anything wrong with her.
"It's probably because it brings in money quickly," Wangyou said after a moment's thought.
That's an amazing reason!
"Young lady, being a space pirate isn't so easy!" A middle-aged soldier walked in from outside, with quite a few stars on his shoulders.
"Are you a high-ranking leader in the military region?"
"Yes!"
"So you also want this latest mecha?" Wangyou asked, taking out a mechanical egg.
"If our hunting teams could be equipped with these latest mechs, our warriors could bring back more supplies and fewer people would die."
"That's pretty much what I thought. You should know that building this mech isn't cheap!"
"Of course, as long as you're willing to sell, we will never treat you unfairly," General Fang said earnestly.
Wangyou thought that this was not a bad idea, but you can't always believe what interstellar people say, even the military. You have to know that there are all sorts of forces in the military, and there are countless hunting teams and mercenary groups on every planet. Most importantly, each person may have a family, big or small, behind them. There are really too few ordinary people.
Relatively speaking, the military might be a little simpler. Selling it to them wouldn't be a problem, since it's not the newest mecha she has. The newest ones should definitely be kept in her own hands, otherwise, if they turn their backs on her, Wangyou can't just stand there and take the beating.
How many do you want?
"The more the better, of course," General Fang thought. He wished he could sell him all those dozens of mechs, even though the military might not be able to handle that many.
“I’ve heard there are plenty of supplies on other planets. So, I’ll provide the mechs, but you have to take me with you on your missions.” Wangyou has been engrossed in mech research for the past eighteen years and has never left this planet. Now that she’s not afraid of being imprisoned, she’s naturally going to go out and have some fun.
"You mean you'll go on missions with our hunting teams, and in exchange, you'll give the mechs to the warriors to use, but won't sell them?"
"Correct."
"What percentage of the supplies we harvest do you want?"
"Can we still distribute supplies?" Wangyou asked, somewhat surprised. "We can distribute them according to your usual rules."
"We need to discuss this. Let me leave you my phone number, and I'll call you when the time comes."
"Okay." After saying that, Wangyou didn't linger any longer and turned to go to her new home. The first thing Wangyou did on the day she turned eighteen was to buy herself a house so that she wouldn't be homeless.
The Xie family waited and waited, but Wangyou never returned. They sent someone to the military headquarters to inquire, only to find that Wangyou had already left. They couldn't get through to her by phone either, because Wangyou had blocked all members of the Xie family.
"Dad, what's so special about that wooden sign? Why were you so polite to that brat after you saw it?" Uncle Xie said with dissatisfaction.
"What do you know!" Old Master Xie roared. "If that wooden plaque belongs to that girl, it means that an extraordinary person has emerged in my Xie family. With that wooden plaque, returning to the Imperial Star is not a dream for us."
"Dad, what exactly is that wooden sign? Tell us!" Uncle Xie said anxiously.
"Well, it's a long story. Our Xie family is a family with a very long history. We existed long before the Blue Planet was destroyed."
"That was five thousand years ago!"
"Yes, back then, every descendant of the Xie family, regardless of gender, would have a wooden plaque appear beside them at birth. The plaques of the direct descendants of the Xie family had a real dragon on them, but the color was different. The collateral descendants would occasionally have a dragon plaque, and most of the others would have a snake-shaped plaque."
"So what is the purpose of this wooden sign?"
"Legend has it that a wooden plaque appears at the time of birth. The higher the level of the creature on the plaque, the greater the talent. Other than that, I don't know anything else. Probably only the people in the old mansion on the imperial star know more inside information."
"Then why didn't we have that when we were born?"
"About four thousand years ago, the dragon token disappeared. Later, the number of dragon tokens also decreased, and the number of snake tokens also decreased. Now, only the patriarch of the Imperial Star has a dragon token, and a few candidates for young patriarch have snake tokens. Everyone else has never even seen this thing!"
"How did you know, Dad?"
“I was quite spoiled when I was young, so I naturally heard a bit about these classes, but I don’t know much about them.” Old Master Xie suddenly became excited. “Do you know what kind of badge Xie Wangyou is wearing around his neck? It’s a dragon badge!”
"The Dragon Token hasn't appeared in four thousand years. Do you know what it represents?"
"We don't know!" The Xie family members all shook their heads.
"I don't know either, but I do know that the appearance of the Dragon Token will reshuffle the entire Xie family!" Old Master Xie suddenly looked much younger. "Go and find out where that girl went. We must get to the bottom of this."
"Dad, if this was something you were born with, didn't Lao Liu and his wife ever see it?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Wangyou's parents, who suddenly became extremely nervous. "We...we didn't know either. At first, the child was cared for by a nanny robot."
"Foolish things." Looking at the couple's clear, foolish eyes, Old Master Xie didn't expect to learn anything from them.
“I saw Eighth Sister wear it when I was little. I liked it a lot and wanted to snatch it to wear, but I found that the wooden plaque could not be separated from Eighth Sister. As soon as I took it away, it would return to Eighth Sister by itself the next second.” Xie Yunwu, the older sixth sister of Wangyou, suddenly said in a low voice.
"and after?"
"Then I was beaten up for no reason, and I never thought about that wooden sign again. I originally thought my parents bought it for me, but later I wanted to buy one, but it felt different." Xie Yunwu tried hard to think of what was different.
"It seems that the wooden plaque really did appear with Wangyou's birth, otherwise it wouldn't have recognized its owner so readily. I need to think about how to get the greatest benefit." Old Master Xie's face was flushed with excitement.
"Old man, that girl has no affection for us whatsoever. You're dreaming if you think you can get something out of her!" The old lady saw it all clearly, just as she was well aware of her own favoritism.
“Dad, if it’s that important, let’s contact the main residence on the imperial star directly. Maybe they’ll give us some benefits because we provided the information,” Uncle Xie said soberly.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it some more!" Old Master Xie was not very willing to give up.
