Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station Chapter 555 - 179: Yan Xiong’s Application Method2

Although he had already learned the general situation from Bai Quan earlier, listening again wouldn’t hurt.

The factory director cleared his throat and recounted the entire incident in detail.

After all, it took so long for the Space Station to co to a conclusion.

So, it’s normal for the final ssage to be more detailed than what Bai Quan explained to Chen Ming.

The director even covered everything from the ex-director arriving at the Space Station, leaving amid chaos, until Chen Ming brought him back.

All his non-compliant and illegal activities were thoroughly investigated, pinpointing each event down to the hour.

Of course, Chen Ming was completely uninterested in what else he might have done.

If this guy hadn’t irritated the director and Chen Ming himself, he wouldn’t have bothered.

Therefore, he only paid attention when the director ntioned the cooperation between the director and the Battle Zone.

But it was no different from what Bai Quan had said earlier.

When talking to Chen Ming, the director could tell Chen Ming appeared sleepy and uninterested.

Suddenly, he said, "Additionally, we previously captured two Zuo Jing agents at the Space Station; they didn’t dare to self-destruct, their convictions weren’t strong enough."

"We interrogated these two and found a Zuo Jing base location, which was verified by the director’s communication records."

"It’s an independent Space Station similar to the Mining Space Station where you once resided, infiltrated and managed by Zuo Jing."

"Rewards have been posted, the Space Station is fully sealed, just waiting for soone to handle it."

"However, there seems to be no movent from the Fourteenth Legion."

"Oh?"

The ntion of this perked Chen Ming up.

You can never have too much money.

Gamma B is now running around the Gallo Star Realm capturing pirates.

Since there’s now a cult organization nearby.

For Chen Ming, as long as there’s a bounty, cults and pirates are the sa.

Though the target is a Space Station.

But a Mining Space Station of this scale doesn’t have the cruiser-level shields and large weapons like a Pirate Space Station.

Chen Ming has no fear at all.

However, there’s one thing he needs to confirm: "What’s the bounty for these Zuo Jing agents?"

"The leader’s bounty offered by the Fourteenth Legion and the governnt is 500 million, given the scale of a Mining Space Station."

"The scattered Zuo Jing agents on the station should total up to 500 million as well."

Chen Ming recalled the circumstances of the Mining Space Station in his mind and said, "It feels like the bounty is a bit low compared to the damage caused by these Zuo Jing agents."

"Even thirty years ago, a Mining Space Station would require at least tens of billions for developnt and construction, right?"

The director considered for a mont and said, "Hmm...roughly."

"But that’s the original price; considering depreciation, the Space Station isn’t that valuable, cutting in half is quite normal."

"This 1 billion already accounts for 20% of the depreciated 5 billion, which isn’t bad."

Chen Ming pondered and agreed.

It’s sowhat unreasonable for the terrorist bounty to exceed the value of the Space Station they occupy.

Just as Chen Ming was about to inquire further about the bounty targets, the director suddenly added, "However."

"That Space Station is used to test the special effects of star radiation on vegetation of habitable planets locally, a Plant Research Station."

"The company behind the Space Station, ’Harmony Plant Research Institute Company,’ offered an additional conditional bounty."

"As long as the main structure of the Space Station isn’t damaged by more than 10%, an additional 300 million will be paid; a specialized assessnt company will determine the damage extent."

"If the research results are preserved, an extra 500 million will be awarded, and if the kidnapped researchers are saved, additional rewards will be based on the number and identity of researchers saved."

"Do as you see fit."

Chen Ming lowered his head again to think and said, "But since it’s a public bounty, there might be more than just going there, and these additional requirents might not be easily t, right?"

The director quickly provided a very convincing response.

"It’s all luck."

"First co, first served. If you’re the earliest to capture the station, et the extra objectives, and record the evidence, even if accidents occur later, they must pay."

"If you arrive later, collaboration is generally prioritized, but when necessary..."

The director left the sentence unfinished, but Chen Ming understood the implication.

"At such tis, if you et the goals, you should imdiately contact that company and let your ship wait there for a while, until soone cos to take over."

"Afterward, the company will surely handle matters for you, you don’t need to personally collect the bounty."

"The earlier scenario is the sa; you can also contact them. Since their company is willing to offer extra bounty, they’ll certainly want to handle these Zuo Jing agents personally, handing them over would be sufficient."

"If they’re willing to pay, why don’t they arrange a fleet to attack?"

"Uh...don’t you think fleet deploynt is cheap?"

"For a Space Station of this scale, it’s generally necessary to have seven or eight destroyers and twenty or thirty guards."
