Capítulo 1109: Chapter 434: Always Cheating, Always Thrilled (Part 2)
Carn nodded gently: “Indeed, there are detailed records in your repair robot.”
Yang Ming nodded with a smile.
Of course there are records; this is a script designed by Labuduo, which he morized after glancing through.
The door opened, and the two girls walked in with their heads lowered, bringing two cups of warm stimulating drinks.
Yang Ming’s gaze was fixed on one of them. —— He wanted to deliberately expose so vulnerability to the other party.
“Captain Kole, how were your losses this ti?”
“Oh, don’t ntion it,” Yang Ming said with a face full of frustration, “But, surviving is the greatest gift the stars can offer . Praise the stars; it’s my reward.”
“Do you have any other rchant ships?”
“Four or five, I suppose,” Yang Ming said with a smile, “But I think, more than the rchant ships, I possess greater experience.”
Carn laughed: “You are an expert in this industry; may I ask you a few questions?”
“Certainly,” Yang Ming crossed his legs, “Feel free to ask.”
“I heard you used to be a pirate; I’ve also studied this industry,” Carn said softly, “I’ve heard that your line of work requires a certain level of close combat capability. To force a rchant ship to stop, you need to approach them with special assault boats.”
“Hahaha.”
Yang Ming laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming, and began speaking enthusiastically:
“What you ntioned is the nail ship. In reality, when conducting business, only about thirty percent of cases use the nail.
“At other tis, there’s a tacit understanding with the rchants; we show them weapons capable of sinking them, and they provide us with a passage fee.
“Those remote trade routes without patrols from dium or large national fleets are our valuable assets. Extre situations where rchant ships are truly destroyed are rare. I once went three consecutive years without firing the main cannon.”
Carn smiled gently: “That sounds very peaceful.”
“It’s rare to hear soone describe our profession so peacefully.”
“So why did you stop?”
“Mainly concerns about safety.”
In Yang Ming’s mind appeared the old face of Kolev, his gaze becoming sowhat distant:
“Threats from peers are the biggest challenge for us; retreating without harm is not easy. I also ensured my crew received sufficient bonuses before announcing an imdiate disbandnt.
“Then I started the transportation business.
“Actually, my mindset is already quite old. I have a wish to, after I leave enough footprints in the Milky Way, set out in a hundred-ter-long transport ship modified from a protection ship, warp to the edge of the Milky Way, carrying the ashes of my deceased lover, to engage in eternal navigation amid the gaps of the Large Star System.”
Carn’s eyes revealed a genuine longing rather than pretense: “What a romantic ideal. Who would have thought you still possess such elegance?”
“Ah,” Yang Ming sighed, looking at Carn, a faint red glow flickering in his eyes, “And you?”
Carn’s response seed to beco sowhat slow.
She murmured: “? What?”
“Your story,” Yang Ming said softly, “Wouldn’t you like to explain the tree of life to ? You saved , I should definitely find a way to repay you.”
“Yes, you should repay us, but what we want is for you to beco an external mber, who can share your fleet and channels with us.”
“Is that all?”
Yang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
These folks aren’t bad, but since he’s already extended his hand, there’s no need to withdraw.
Cheating is enjoyable for a mont;
Cheating all the ti, always enjoyable.
“Co on,” Yang Ming sipped his tea, “Tell more about your tree of life. I’m really curious about you. I will help you.”
“You are truly a respectful captain.”
Carn pondered slightly; she didn’t notice anything unusual about herself, only felt that the person in front of her was incredibly kind and trustworthy, capable of being entrusted with all secrets, which would be beneficial to her nation and ideals.
She certainly wouldn’t know that this was the spiritual control of an Ancient God Life Form.
…
“Initially, sixteen great pioneers responded to the call of the goddess, forming the original tree of life.
“Initially, we were not broadly a religious organization; we had few doctrines or clear religious worship. The purpose of this organization was to promote social unity, fight against unhealthy societal trends, and actively conduct orderly reproductive activities.
“Orderly reproduction refers to family-style nurturing, where adult n and won form families, living together, and raising these children together.
“Why have the concept of ‘orderly reproduction’?
“It’s simple: amid the rapid developnt of Dominicos Star, because it’s a small country, and very close to the powerful Sherman Empire, we face imnse survival pressure, always striving to join the Democracy Alliance or Federal Fate Alliance in the Galaxy, then we were hit by many so-called advanced ideas.
“Our economy was gradually controlled by powerful foreign capital using various financial instrunts, and the welfare of the citizens was continuously squeezed. Like other small countries, Dominicos Star beca a processing factory for mid-to-low-end manufacturing.
“The environnt was polluted, resources rapidly consud, more and more immigrants arrived, local ethnic culture vanished, with the accelerated urbanization process, and comparing it to the slow enhancent of social welfare, people’s living pressure increased, and the costs of raising and educating children skyrocketed, so our native birth rate significantly dropped.”
