Chapter 920 How much is he worth
Eunice looks sexy, young, beautiful, and full of the charm of a mature woman.
But if you look closely, you can still see the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, proving that she is no longer that young.
By visual inspection, he must be over 35 years old, probably around 40.
Of course, estimates are estimates, so you can't say that.
"You are looking for me to buy information, right? Very good, I never refuse business."
Eunice clapped her hands, and the unlucky ones who had just been hung up were put down again, and then carried into the backstage by a few strong men in the bar.
Li Chengqi looked down and saw clearly that there was a guy who pinched the drunkard's butt...
I dare not think about the subsequent development.
Soon, Eunice and Alyssa were the only ones left in the bar.
Inviting Alyssa to come and sit down at the bar, Eunice exhaled a breath of smoke and asked:
"What information do you want?"
She looked at Alyssa, and suddenly added: "Wait, are you Alyssa? Alyssa Li?"
"You know me?"
"Of course I know him. Your eyes are exactly the same as your grandfather James Lee."
This sounded like an acquaintance of her grandfather, but then Eunice said:
"That madman who deserves to go to hell, I will never forget it in my next life."
Damn, why do you sound like an enemy?
But when it came to this, Eunice gave Alyssa a slightly apologetic look: "You should know that when I said that your grandfather is a madman who deserves to go to hell, I didn't mean to scold him, but a... ...Well, it’s a relatively objective evaluation.”
This sounds even more shitty.
"What did my grandfather do? I never heard about you from my grandfather."
"Of course you haven't heard of it. That happened thirty years ago. I was only eight years old at that time, and I still lived in a very peaceful colonial satellite. I just took the New Year's money and planned to go to the toy store to buy the little bear that I longed for. I passed by I was caught by a group of drunkards at the bar and insisted that I dance with them.”
When Eunice said this, there was no light in her eyes.
"Among them is your grandfather."
"..."
Alyssa already wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Grandpa, can you be more reliable and let an eight-year-old girl dance with you? How can you open your mouth?
"Then the pirates came. Your grandfather, that lunatic, was not even sober. With less than ten people and only four or five guns, he dared to charge at the pirates head-on."
This is in line with Alyssa's impression of her grandfather. He is indeed such a brave person.
Eunice pointed at herself:
"Among the less than ten people, there was me, who was only eight years old back then. Your grandfather tricked me into killing three pirates with a laser pistol."
"..."
Alyssa opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
"Since then, I have discovered that school is not interesting, and bears are not interesting either. Killing people is more fun, you know? I was supposed to be a doctor, or a beautiful flight attendant, and maybe marry into a rich family and become a wealthy wife. The handsome guy in the class next to me had feelings for me, but everything was ruined by your grandfather. "
Eunice's eyes turned red as she spoke, and it didn't sound like she was complaining to Alyssa, but more like simple thoughts, which made people doubt whether her mental state was good.
Alyssa hesitated, hesitated, and finally managed to hold back one sentence:
"I'm sorry..."
Alyssa's grandfather was definitely not a Wei Guangzheng person. After all, no one from Wei Guangzheng worked as a recycler, but this was the first time Alyssa had heard of such an outrageous thing.
Eunice thought about it for five minutes, and then she regained some sense. She poured herself a glass of strong wine from under the bar and took a sip, feeling relieved.
"Forget it, let's not mention those old things. You came to me probably to find information about the starship."
Not many people knew about the fact that Alyssa's starship was taken away by Carlos in a short period of time, but Eunice was able to find out. Sure enough, Father Pro was not lying, and he was indeed a well-informed intelligence dealer. "Yes, I want to know where my starship has been driven to, and..."
Alyssa hesitated for a moment, then added:
"What happened to Carlos."
Long didn't believe that Carlos would rebel. This was because Long often got along with Carlos on the bridge and knew him very well. She knew that Carlos's greatest advantage was his loyalty.
In fact, if Carlos hadn't put the knife on Alyssa's neck, she wouldn't have believed it, but that was the fact.
A person's nature suddenly changed, and there might be some problems here. Alyssa didn't intend to ask at first, since we had to take back the starship anyway, but Long strongly insisted to ask.
Eunice narrowed her eyes after hearing this, and the unique shrewdness of human beings seemed to have returned to her, changing her previous image of being full of resentment.
"No problem, are you ready with the money? I have the information you want, but it's not cheap."
"I don't have much money, but I have this."
Alyssa took out the hairpin given by Father Pro, and Eunice immediately said angrily when she saw it:
"Old dwarf! You're really going to find trouble for me!"
She was so angry that she drank two more glasses of wine, as if she was using this method to make up for the gold coins that flew away.
"Well, it seems that because Father Pro has treated me well in recent years, I will give you the starship information for free."
"Thanks."
"Don't thank me in a hurry. Carlos' information is not free."
Alyssa was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
"Wait, you mean, Carlos really has a problem?"
"Yes or no, you can guess for yourself. Anyway, the information is in my hands, and I won't let go until I'm satisfied with the reward."
"But Daddy Pro gave me a hairpin..."
Eunice picked up the hairpin, broke it off and threw it on the wine rack behind her: "It's gone now."
"..."
That's right, a token is exchanged for information. You can't just take a token and empty it out.
Dad Pro and Eunice are friends, but Eunice and Alyssa are not friends. If you insist on saying it, you still have a lot of resentment towards Alyssa's grandfather. Of course, you can't give everything for free.
"Okay, how many do you want?"
"How much is a loyal crew member worth to you?"
"I said it's priceless, are you going to take everything from me?"
"Very good. I like chatting with sensible people. I want five thousand gold coins, a universal gold coin issued by the Star Group. Don't fool me with antiques dug out of some ruins."
Gold is also a rare element in the universe, so gold coins can still play the role of currency.
However, some originally valuable metals became worthless after entering the Star Sea.
For example, fine gold was originally priceless, but after entering the void, its price plummeted to a level that is not much more expensive than copper and iron.
But having said that, five thousand gold coins was far beyond Alyssa's budget.
Her own small treasury didn't have much money in total. She got two thousand gold coins from a loan, but the supplies during this period, as well as the cost of renovating the Swan and replenishing ammunition, had almost spent the money.
You can still squeeze out one or two hundred, but you really can't squeeze out five thousand.
