Under the insistence of Qu Jianlei, Youyou still crawled into the Space cha – she wasn’t one to be fussy.
After so inspection, she walked out of the cockpit and stated, "Everything is normal, well-maintained, and the Energy Block reserve is sufficient."
After speaking, she couldn’t help but curse, "That guy really deserves to die!"
Qu Jianlei didn’t agree with her but instead listened intently to sothing with a strange expression, then sighed.
Seeing this, Youyou’s heart sank as she subconsciously felt that sothing was amiss, "What happened?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "It seems...we have to surrender."
"Surrender?" Youyou’s eyes instantly widened, "Didn’t we just say we were going to fight to the death?"
She didn’t think ng Ningge’s threats could scare everyone; at least this group at the base wasn’t afraid of intimidation.
Even other citizens of the Imperial nation weren’t easily frightened – if you destroy the ship, won’t you die too?
"Ah, don’t ntion it," Qu Jianlei didn’t want to continue the discussion, "The question now is whether to deal with that guy or not?"
The two had already eliminated potential threats, but others weren’t in the know.
So making this judgnt was difficult, and he could only consult Youyou – after all, she understood those people’s ntalities better.
Youyou was taken aback for a mont and responded, "I do want to act, but after taking ng Ningge down, can we take on the Star Thieves?"
"Plus, with our identities...how can we gain others’ trust?"
Qu Jianlei looked at her in astonishnt, "I thought you would choose to actively participate in the battle!"
That was because I have a Space cha, Youyou sighed inwardly: You left the cha with , how can I just watch you take risks?
But she wasn’t embarrassed to answer like that, "They changed so quickly; there must be a reason, right?"
"You’re right," Qu Jianlei nodded, "ng Ningge swore not to harm anyone."
"The Banshen Snake Corps agreed with him; they would only rob and extort ransom, not hurt anyone."
"Can we trust that?" Youyou sneered at this, "What if the Star Thieves go back on their word after we surrender?"
There was hardly anyone trustworthy among the Star Thieves, and the Banshen Snake not only robbed but also killed, which clearly didn’t look trustworthy.
Qu Jianlei’s expression beca even more peculiar, "That ng Ningge’s grandfather...seems to be a Supre."
"The grandson of a Supre?" Youyou was taken aback imdiately. With such a grandfather, does he need to act so extrely?
But then her eyes lit up, "I think I rember who this person is!"
When Youyou arrived at the base, Xiao Moshan was already wanted, aning she hadn’t stayed long at the base.
With a total of more than seven thousand people in the base, if she had stayed long enough, she could have rembered almost everyone.
At least rembering all the B-level Warriors wouldn’t be a problem, but now...she truly couldn’t do it.
But when it ca to the grandson of a Supre, she finally matched the person.
"His grandfather should be called Kushnier, a Supre from Central City who later left the base for the Imperial nation."
Qu Jianlei thought for a mont, feeling confused by this logic, "Is there any particular story behind this?"
"There is," Youyou nodded decisively, "A newly advanced Supre from Central City won’t enter the Gorge, they’ll go directly to the base."
"I know that," Qu Jianlei also nodded, "To prevent corruption...this topic is sothing we’ve discussed before."
Youyou looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "If a Supre enters the base, how are their family mbers arranged?"
Qu Jianlei thought about it; it indeed was a question. Ultimate Warriors play with Superpowers, not Cultivation, so there’s no disregard for family.
"So under normal circumstances, how would it be arranged?"
Youyou did know the details, explaining that typically, the family of a newly advanced Supre from Central City would receive the identity of the Gorge.
At A-level and advancing to Supre, their own breakthrough resulted in an imdiate transfer to the Imperial nation for many.
But the family of a Supre shouldn’t expect too much, especially those from Central City...who are seen as planet natives!
However, it’s not very realistic to keep these people in Central City since the base and Central City never interact.
Therefore, giving these people the identity of the Gorge, as an additional reward for the Supre, is a pretty good compromise.
Once the Supre misses their family, they can visit the Gorge; if the family has any issues, they can inform the Supre through liaison.
As for what the Supre’s family can develop into in the Gorge, that depends on their own efforts.
After Kushnier entered the base, he stayed for about a decade, then received an Imperial transfer order, leaving the base.
And his family’s developnt in the Gorge wasn’t very successful.
It wasn’t because of suppression – no one dared to oppress the family of a Supre; it was simply because the family had no particularly outstanding talents.
After Kushnier left, the family continued to languish, ultimately showing a faint sign of irreversible decline.
The family mbers started looking for people everywhere, trying to see their Supre to present the family’s plight.
However, no matter whom they asked, the answer they got was – your Supre has already left the base!
Everyone at the base knew about the Imperial nation, but those in the Gorge knew little about the Imperial nation.
The Kushnier family was from Central City and had less access to information, so they always felt the base’s reasons were just excuses.
But the base couldn’t tell them much, so this misunderstanding was never resolved well.
Monniger was a rare rising star in the Kushnier family, advancing to B-level in his thirties.
The family decided to grit their teeth and used their last Supre authority to send him into the base.
After entering the base, he finally understood where his grandfather had gone.
However, there was a gag order in the base. He did know the truth, but couldn’t explain it to his family.
Years ago, sothing similar had happened to his grandfather.
But when Kushnier advanced to Supre, wasn’t he already quite old? Many things were already clear to him.
Monniger, however, didn’t have that advantage. He achieved success early and was young when he entered the base that made even the Gorge people tremble.
Moreover, his Supre grandfather was just transferred, not dead.
It’s an ironclad rule that he couldn’t explain the situation to his family, and he didn’t dare to break it. But... he wanted to report the situation to his grandfather.
After all, he caused enough trouble in the base that most people had heard of him.
Youyou had also heard about him from others and had a rough impression.
But Monniger’s ways of dealing with others were too naive and immature, so most people in the base avoided him.
Just because his grandfather was Supre, could he do whatever he wanted? We can’t afford to offend you, but we can certainly avoid you, right?
It must be pointed out that there were very few Supres from Central City, and Monniger was an exception when entering the base as a B-level.
You could call him a genius... but he couldn’t connect with any of the circles, and others deliberately avoided him.
In simple terms, he lived his life like a joke, though he didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Among all the seriousness, after learning about his grandfather, he kept submitting reports, applying to visit his grandfather on Hope No.3 Star.
However, this request... was outrageous, as the people in the base were essentially guarding the frontier.
Even soone like Youyou, who hadn’t been there for long, wasn’t qualified to apply for a family visit.
When Monniger first applied, he was even less qualified, and he had a major flaw — he was a native of the planet!
According to the Empire’s managent approach, natives wanting to see the world usually faced much stricter requirents.
It was too easy to trigger unpredictable events!
Monniger knew he was underqualified, but he still applied — wasn’t visiting my Supre grandfather a sufficient reason?
But while he had his intentions, the base had its regulations, so his applications were rejected, every single ti.
To the point that even when he barely qualified to compete, the base still rejected him — You’re from Central City, maybe next ti!
And next ti ca after next ti, but no one would ever let him through.
After all, if you helped soone like him, he wouldn’t be grateful. He’d just think he deserved it; why bother?
Youyou knew the general situation, but didn’t know too many details, so she roughly explained it to Qu Jianlei.
It’s certain that Monniger was detested in the base, but he truly hadn’t intentionally hard anyone.
Of course, it might not be that he didn’t have the intention but purely because he lacked the ability.
This ti, he got an entire shipload of people, plus a cargo, into trouble. If soone said he was inherently kind but just couldn’t deal with people, probably no one would believe it.
But when he used his Supre grandfather as a backing, many people were willing to believe him.
The Supre’s deterrence was truly that great.
In the past, people didn’t take Monniger seriously because, as an indigenous Supre, Kushnier should have understood the importance of avoiding suspicion.
If Kushnier were as clueless as Monniger, even as a Supre, he’d surely et a dead end now.
However, when Monniger used his Supre lineage as backing, it was a different matter.
Regardless of other issues, as savage as the Banshen Snake Corps was, would they dare risk offending a Supre and massacre a batch of prisoners?
So, surrender is surrender. After all, they’re just star thieves, not cannibalistic Fallen.
Qu Jianlei, hearing the rough explanation and filling in the details, finally sighed, "So we just... have to accept it?"
He truly felt a bit unwilling, as if his fate was entirely in soone else’s hands.
Youyou helplessly spread her hands, "We could kill them all, but putting aside the threat from the star thieves..."
"Do you think we can operate this Interstellar Spaceship? Honestly speaking, I really have no idea how to pilot this thing."
Qu Jianlei remained silent. Even with all his confidence, he wouldn’t dare say he could pilot the Interstellar Spaceship alone.
Even if Little Lake joined in, he still lacked the confidence.
"So now we just have to restore the cargo hold to its original state? But then you wouldn’t have a cha... is it safe?"
"Why wouldn’t I have a cha? This is my cha!" Youyou responded without hesitation.
"What about Monniger? I’m going to et him right now!"
