Chapter 704 Arriving at the Destination
Lan Xuanyu frowned slightly and said: "With whom to trade? Other pirate groups?"
"No, no, no. It is best to trade directly with the exchange. It’s convenient, and trading with the pirate group is okay, but sometimes there will be trouble. Although the price they give may be higher than the exchange, it is not as fun as the exchange. And there may be problems like this. It is recommended to sell directly to the exchange. In this case, the evaluation fee may not be high, but the speed is the best and the security is the highest.”
Lan Xuanyu's eyes lit up. It could be sold directly to the exchange. It was indeed a good choice. Saving time and effort is more important to them now than maximizing profits. After all, they still have to complete the task, and it would be nice to earn a vote along the way. But don’t be too adventurous.
"Okay, then when you trade, you come with us." Lan Xuanyu said.
"Me? I..." Liu Guiding hesitated for a moment in embarrassment.
"What's wrong with you?" Lan Xuanyu turned to look at him.
"Lord Shouyi, after all, I am the deputy leader of the Purple Fire Pirates. If I help you trade, it will be equivalent to betraying my team. In our interstellar pirate world, the most hated thing is betrayal. This behavior will make it impossible for me to survive in the pirate world."
"Oh?" Lan Xuanyu's tone rose a little.
Liu Guiding hurriedly said: "Of course, of course there is nothing we can do. If Lord Shouyi is willing to accept me and become a member of the Thirty-three Heavenly Wings, then it will be no problem. Because after all, we are all your prisoners. If you If you are willing to give the prisoner a way out, it is not a betrayal. He became yours only after he was captured."
Qian Lei next to Lan Xuanyu said: "Are you afraid of being a slave?"
Liu Guiding said with a smile: "Who wants to be a slave who is worse than an animal if he can be a human being? Although I am a bit old, I still understand our pirate world." He knew very well the fledgling pirates in front of him. What is needed most.
Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly, "You are a smart man. Complete this transaction first. If you can prove that you are really useful, I will consider it."
"Yes, yes." Liu Guiding this time No longer refusing, he quickly agreed. He knew that he had created the conditions for himself to survive, and that he might still have the opportunity to live a better life.
These young pirates are very sharp and have anti-matter missiles, so they are probably supported by some big forces. The young people are already so powerful, so how powerful will the support behind them be?
Liu Guiding is indeed very smart, otherwise he would not have lived to such an old age in the pirate world and still served as deputy captain. What he has to do now is to show his role and even loyalty in the next transaction. Only then can it be possible to truly become a part of the Thirty-three Heavenly Wings.
Lan Xuanyu also has his own plans in mind. Qian Lei can see some of Liu Guiding's intentions. How could he not see it? But as Liu Guiding understands, for the Thirty-three Heavenly Wings, the experience from the old pirates is indeed very useful. Especially Lan Xuanyu and the others now have their own battleship and are still in the process of completing the mission. With such an old pirate as a guide, it will be much easier whether it is carrying out tasks or robbing pirates.
So, he did not mean to expose Liu Guiding. As he said, he needed to see the role of Liu Guiding.
The spacecraft landed slowly. As the deputy leader of the Purple Fire Pirates, Liu Guiding had certainly been to this place before and was very familiar with it. Lan Xuanyu handed him the main control position and stood beside him to supervise his operations. Liu Guiding contacted Exchange No. 3 familiarly, and then piloted the spacecraft to land slowly.
Viewed from the air, the so-called Exchange No. 3 looks like a giant turtle shell lying on the planet. This asteroid is certainly not very beautiful. It is full of bumps and valleys, and there is no trace of vegetation or water. It is just a planet that looks bare.
Exchange No. 3 was built under such surface conditions. A huge metal shield covered a large area. The shields showed bulges and were connected to each other, so they looked like a turtle shell, covering a considerable area. Not small. Although it is only a drop in the ocean for the entire planet, its existence can be clearly seen when it is still thousands of meters above the ground.
The pirate warship slowly landed on a flat ground near the exchange. The ground here is just flat and has no decoration.
The four battleships landed and stopped. Liu Guiding took the initiative and said without Lan Xuanyu asking: "There are special vehicles from the exchange here to pick up people into the exchange. It seems that not many people have come to trade recently. , I took a quick look when I just landed, and there were only about twenty pirate warships here.”
Lan Xuanyu said: "What does it mean that there are fewer pirates here?"
Liu Guiding said: "There has been less business recently. The Douluo Federation has increased its blockade of Tiantian Star, which will definitely have a negative impact on the entire It has an impact on the pirate world."
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Do pirates have other ways to survive besides robbery?"
Liu Guiding said: "Basically, it's still robbery. In fact, the Douluo Federation's blockade against us is only within the scope of the federation's planet. This actually forces us to turn more outward and rob other intelligent races."< br>
"Huh? The Federation guides interstellar pirates to plunder other races?" Lan Xuanyu asked doubtfully.
Liu Guiding said: "Actually, interstellar pirates sell not only resources, but also intelligence. In fact, the Douluo Federation has always had transactions with Tiantian Star. Otherwise, with the strength of the Federation, It is not completely impossible to destroy the Paradise Star.”
After hearing what he said, Lan Xuanyu was not in a hurry to get off the spacecraft, and asked curiously: "Can you tell me more specifically. What kind of deal is it?"
Liu Guiding said: "Where the Heaven Star is located? The galaxy is special and can only be entered through wormholes. Therefore, to the interstellar pirates, Paradise Star is like a pure land. However, there are many wormholes connected to Paradise Star, and the Federation only blocks them. Part of it. Why do you do this? In fact, I have thought about it carefully, and I even think that in a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that Paradise Planet can even be regarded as a part of the Douluo Federation. But generally speaking, people will not kill people after plundering, but they will either sell them as slaves or let the people they robbed pay to redeem them. In fact, only a few extremely vicious pirates will do that. "< br>
“When I discovered this, I felt that the world of pirates was not so chaotic. Is this what real pirates would do? I have been observing for decades, and it becomes clearer and clearer. These. Also, although there are many intelligent races from alien planets on Paradise Planet, the seven pirate kings have always been human. This has not changed for thousands of years, and the pirate kings have also changed. , but foreign races never have any chance."
"And what you just asked me about is about the way of survival of interstellar pirates. In addition to robbing and selling resources, interstellar pirates actually have other things to sell, such as intelligence! Especially some information from alien creatures. Intelligence. I have thought about this carefully. Why do we, a group of pirates, need so much information about alien creatures? This is part of the reason, but the price of information is higher than resources. It’s a little bit unreasonable.”
“If you think about it carefully, who is more useful to this information from alien creatures? There is no doubt that it is the one that has been continuously expanding and occupying the resource star and the administrative star. Douluo Federation. In a sense, Paradise Star is actually providing Douluo Federation with information about the outside world. The value of this information can allow the Federation to better carry out interstellar colonization. That’s the most important thing they want to do.”
