Chapter 39 Blackmail
As soon as the main force of the Scorpion team withdrew, the escort ship fought against the remaining pirate cruiser and three gunboats despite the restrictions of the stagnant winding beam.
The outcome is doomed.
He directly ordered the warships to advance, almost confronting the enemy ships face to face, exchanging wounds. The powerful firepower of the seventh-level technology quickly tore several pirate gunboats into pieces, and the remaining cruisers could not survive several rounds of saturated firepower. sunk.
Without the interference of the stagnation entanglement force field, the escort ship resumed its super speed, ordered the industrial ships behind to salvage the wreckage, and the escort ship pursued the main force of the retreating Scorpion team at full speed.
"He's catching up."
At this time, the channel of the Scorpion Team was silent. They were speechless because of the completely helpless opponent. The few surviving members could only look at the captain.
Scorpion pondered for a moment and said in the channel:
"Pay a certain price and negotiate with him."
He pinched his eyebrows and sighed heavily.
The meaning of peace talks is to spend money to buy lives and remaining ships. This is also a common way for the weaker party to escape from encounters in the wild, and it is also an unspoken rule.
Most people with the advantage will agree. After all, if they continue to fight and the enemy will be destroyed in despair, they will also suffer some losses. The most important thing is to sink all the enemies. How can the income from a pile of wreckage be as high as buying a life? Normal people Everyone knows how to choose.
Of course, the premise is that they are not mortal enemies. There is no way to say that you would rather sink your opponent without spending a penny.
There is nothing Scorpion can do, he will not surrender if given the chance, but this opponent is too fast and his weapons are powerful.
He extremely doubted that the technology on this strange ship was more than level five, otherwise it would not be so powerful.
Li Wei was not too surprised when he received the communication from his opponent for peace talks. He had even expected it, and he agreed.
Just like a normal person thinks, if he kills them all, the total wreckage may not amount to five million, but if he pays for his life, with the existing warships of the Scorpion Team, he can easily get two to thirty million. This gap is too big. Big.
And besides that, he had another thought.
Although it would be nice to eliminate them directly, it would be too wasteful.
Catch them now and blackmail them once, and then ask them to blackmail them again later when you have time. Then, if you have nothing to do, you can come to them for fun and catch the sheep to death. Isn't this much better than a one-time deal?
So when the communication was connected, Scorpion saw Levi with a smile on his face. He stretched out five fingers and said to them:
"I don't want any more. I'll give you 50 million and I'll let you go."
The faces of the Scorpion team immediately fell, and Scorpion said:
"Friend, you are asking for too much. Normally, with the size of our fleet, more than 20 million would be enough."
Li Wei smiled and said:
"You're right. Normally more than 20 million is enough, but this time it's not normal."
"Why is it abnormal?"
"First of all, I'm not the only one you want to compensate. You sunk several other girls' boats. Don't you want to compensate me?"
Several people were speechless. The corners of Scorpion's mouth twitched and he finally said nothing.
Li Wei saw this and said:
"The second reason is compensation for my past."
Several people were stunned at this time, and Scorpion asked:
"What previous compensation?"
Li Wei pointed at the scorpion and asked:
"Do you still remember the pursuit of a medium-sized mining ship and a medium-sized transport ship in the XL-D-213 system more than a month ago?"
Xie Zi was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled that there was indeed such a thing. Although they usually robbed frequently, the reason for chasing the missing person that time was too strange, so he was very impressed.
He looked at Levi very unexpectedly:
"Is that your ship?"
"That's not all. Two years ago, you robbed me four times. You robbed me of three ships of mines and sank a transport ship. I recorded all these accounts in my notebook. This time, you hit me. Do you think we should pay compensation?”
The Scorpion team were speechless.
Everyone has said it so clearly, so it is most likely true.
Moreover, even if it is fake, they have to pay compensation. Now they are the fish on the chopping board and have no room for bargaining.
Several people discussed it in the internal channel, and finally Scorpion said to Levi:
"Fifty million is fifty million."
"That's right, let's transfer the money!"
Soon 50 million arrived in the account, and Li Wei checked to see if it was real, then waved to them and said:
"You can go, keep your eyes open next time and don't be blind again. If you bump into my hand again, it won't be enough for tens of millions."
The arrogant words made the Scorpion team members so angry that their noses were smoking, but they couldn't fight and had no choice but to grit their teeth and leave in despair. Fifteen minutes later, they started the hyperspace engine and jumped away tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Li Wei kept watching them leave, and after they left, he transferred 10 million star yuan to Gu Hongye, who was parked not far away.
Gu Hongye, who was repairing the battleship, saw the 10 million he transferred and refused it directly, saying:
"If it wasn't you who helped pay for my life, it was me. You saved me, how could I still ask for your money?"
Li Wei smiled and said:
"This is not my money, it is the compensation I asked them for on your behalf. I have already taken their life money."
"Then I still can't have it."
"Be obedient and keep it."
These words made Gu Hongye feel weird. He didn't know what he thought of and suddenly covered his mouth and laughed. His eyes were curved like crescent moons, which made him look even more beautiful.
After laughing, she said crisply:
"Brother, you're welcome. My little sister is not short of money. Just take it. You should need it more than me."
Upon hearing this, Li Wei put on a straight face and said seriously:
"Just take it if I tell you to, it's a matter of principle!"
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Hongye dropped the smile on her face, nodded after a few seconds and said:
"In that case, you're welcome, little girl."
Then Li Wei saw her accepting the transfer and was relieved. Then he saw her transfer 20 million and looked up in surprise. Gu Hongye said with a smile:
"Big Brother saved me, this is my thanks to Big Brother!"
She blinked her big eyes and said:
"This is also a matter of principle!"
Good guy, respond immediately with your own words.
Levi opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
"I can't see that you are still a little rich woman, so I won't be polite."
Thinking back at this time, she was indeed not short of money. With just a few destroyers and eight frigates, she could withstand the siege for so long with several times the combat power of the Scorpion team. It was impossible to do this without advanced technological equipment.
After confirming the transfer and receiving her friend application, Gu Hongye said with a smile:
"Brother, add me as a friend. I have something to do now, and I will have a chance to play with you in the future."
Levi
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Hongye also realized that there was something wrong with this sentence, and a blush appeared on her delicate and pretty face.
After adding friends and chatting for a while, she left.
After Levi cleaned up the wreckage of the battlefield, the fleet left at sub-light speed, and the void returned to calm. No one knew that a fierce battle took place here not long ago.
Counting the harvest on the way, in addition to the Scorpion Team's 40 million life money and Gu Hongye's 20 million remuneration, the total value of the salvaged wreckage and accessories was about 1.2 million, making a total of 61.2 million star yuan.
"No wonder so many people like to turn into pirates, they make money so quickly from robbery!"
Levi sighed.
But he can't.
Although robbery brings quick money, it is not the right way after all.
Unlike ordinary players, he has a limited future. The Palm Universe has given him an almost endless future, so he cannot take advantage of others and cannot affect his reputation because of temporary gains. (End of chapter)
