Chapter 1481: Hot Items
After a little inquiry, Qu Jianlei and others found out the news about Baozhi Star War Fortress, which has also been a hot topic in Bitao recently.
And Wu Zhen's whereabouts is no secret.
He leads a group of Baozhi people and is currently living in a military camp, receiving protection and inspection from the military.
The military's explanation was that they were mainly on guard against some accidents - these people might be parasitized by aliens.
This may sound a bit alarmist, but we cannot rule out this possibility.
Needless to say, the new seedlings of those exotic trees are all developed from spores.
Therefore, Qu Jianlei would not dare to be so sure that there is no possibility of parasitism.
In addition, some of the relevant characteristics and habits of the alien race were also revealed.
Although not many details were revealed, it is still much better than the previous strict defense.
None of the revelations come from the official or military, but the official will not distinguish and simply ignores them.
However, those who understand know that the fact that the official does not approve but does not refute the rumor is enough to explain the problem.
Some of this information may be inappropriate, but it will usually be deleted quickly.
Particularly confidential information will also be deleted immediately. For example, some people once revealed that those who have awakened the light attribute are the nemesis of alien races.
This information has been leaked repeatedly, but most of the time it is deleted within seconds.
However, the people have sharp eyes, and now flash bombs are out of stock on the Bitao star.
It is available on the black market, but the price is doubled with a zero added to the end - yes, it is twenty times the original price.
Don’t think it’s too expensive, you can buy it if you want. In the past few days, Bitao has been unable to supply goods and the price will continue to increase.
Flash bombs are very simple to make, require no technical skills, and the raw materials are not difficult to obtain.
This thing can be sold for twenty times its original price. Qu Jianlei even recalled that someone on Blue Star once hoarded salt at a high price.
Flower Scorpion was also quite speechless, "Can't this thing be made with hands?"
She is not good at mechanical repairs, but when she was on the garbage planet, she was able to make her own flash bombs.
"These are all trivial matters," Qu Jianlei shook his head. "But Wu Zhen is in the military camp... so he can't get the divine treasures for the time being."
"Then go find other magical instruments," Jing Yuexin said calmly, "I'll go get the starship."
They did not have a proper Alliance starship, so the starship they got was given to the Imperial military for reference.
But for them, building a starship is not a big deal.
In the Empire, there are some things that need to be avoided, but in the Alliance, there is no need to be afraid of anything.
Then she nodded slightly to Qu Jianlei, "Boss, can you find out which starship owner deserved to die?"
It's so scary when people have no restraint. They don't play those technically demanding games, they just kill people and seize ships.
Jing Yuexin was still quite considerate. At least she remembered to find someone who deserved to die.
However, the big-headed butterfly turned around twice and gave a reply, "Killing people is useless. Now Bi Tao and the starship are controlling materials."
In fact, it was all Baozhi Star's fault. Wu Zhen was able to escape with more than 40,000 people thanks to the many starships that attracted hatred.
Currently, the Dome Top is at the forefront, and the transportation capacity of each starship is already under close scrutiny. Adding this reason, it will definitely be regulated.
Then, Xiaohu found a request online, "Anyone take out a Starship mortgage?"
It’s just that the conditions of this starship are… a little high.
This is a medium-sized luxury starship, similar in size to an ordinary cargo starship, but as for its cargo capacity... let's not talk about it!
The owner stated that this is a starship for eating, drinking and having fun, but there is absolutely no problem with safety and comfort.
The original price of the starship was 1.5 billion, and he spent 1 billion on the modification, making it 2.5 billion.
A similar cargo starship, even with modifications, would cost at most 1 billion.
What made Qu Jianlei laugh and cry was that this man wanted to use this starship as a mortgage loan for 4 billion - doesn't your starship depreciate?
He was too lazy to contact this person and simply scanned him with his spiritual sense to see how he responded to other people's questioning.
Qu Jianlei originally thought that this man might be a liar, but he didn't expect that he was in a luxurious manor.
This man was not very old, probably in his thirties, at the peak of B-rank, with a rebellious air between his eyebrows.
Qu Jianlei is very familiar with this kind of temperament. Shui Xisheng has it, Young Master Qianhe has it, and Rhine still has it.
It's that kind of arrogance that comes from the heart, a typical child of the powerful.
He has an assistant to help reply to messages and does not appear in person, but only complains from time to time.
It turns out that this person's desire to borrow 4 billion is not just empty talk, but the current price of Bitao's starship has been driven up to the sky.
A second-hand cargo starship that was worth 500 to 600 million in the past, now, if you can’t come up with 1 billion, forget it!
Even though prices have risen so much, the starship's price has not doubled, so wouldn't it be a profit if you buy it?
You don’t have to work hard to move the goods, just increase the freight rate directly - others are panning for gold, and I’m selling gold mining tools and jeans.
However, the Bitao government is not a pushover and announced early on that it would conduct a strict investigation into freight price increases!
The government’s attitude is that prices can rise, but freight rates cannot.
After all, Bitao is on the front line, and it is normal for prices to rise. It is just a question of whether you can afford it.
But once the shipping cost goes up, it may not be possible to ship the goods!
The Bitao government is not afraid of the high prices of things, so they hoard them to make a profit. This is how they make money from war.
The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. If there is no big money to be made, why would people come to such a dangerous place to do business?
However, increasing freight rates will lead to interruptions in the transportation of supplies, which is unacceptable to all war zones!
Therefore, the most fundamental reason for the price increase of Starship now is that people need to prepare for their escape!
Bao Zhixing’s painful lesson has told everyone: no matter what flight or relationship, it’s all useless.
At the critical moment of escaping, you must have your own starship!
The cost of buying a starship is too high, and ordinary well-off people cannot afford it, but we can crowdfund it, right?
It seems normal that he wants to mortgage a starship worth 2.5 billion for 4 billion.
However, his starship is essentially a luxury product, and its transportation capacity is no match for an ordinary cargo starship.
The defense and attack capabilities are indeed stronger, but this is not enough to support the price.
The purpose of buying a starship is to escape, not to fight with aliens.
The worst thing is that in order to provide a better riding experience, the starship is not very fast, and its focus is on stability and comfort.
But at this time, it’s a matter of life and death. If its speed can catch up with that of a small attack ship, it can be sold at a sky-high price.
After all, when facing a man-eating alien race, you don't need to run the fastest, you just need to run faster than your companions.
The worst thing is that he planned to mortgage the property instead of selling it - and after mortgaging it, he would still have the right to use it.
It’s just that the ownership is mortgaged to the lender.
But in this chaotic situation, if the starship is destroyed, won’t the lending forces be in tears?
After Qu Jianlei understood the whole story, he felt that this guy was a little weird: Do you think everyone else is a fool?
He sensed for a while and found that quite a few people came to ask about the situation. After all, at this moment, Bi Tao's starship was really in great demand.
But most people hang up on the communication within half a minute.
Qu Jianlei felt that it was not interesting and was about to withdraw his perception when he heard the rebellious young man snort coldly, "Are you all fucking sick?"
"Is it so difficult to get a loan? Then don't take out a loan. Pack up your things and let's go to Tianyu Star!"
Tianyu is the central star of the Blue Light star field, and Blue Light is one of the five major star fields of the alliance.
This is somewhat similar to the inner side of the inner circle of the empire. Not only is it protected by the surrounding star fields and rarely invaded, it is also very developed.
"Tianyu Star?" Qu Jianlei's heart moved, and it seemed that he could leave with them.
It is not easy to leave Bitao now. The passenger starships are inspected very strictly, and the cargo starships are not much different.
Of course, if Qu Jianlei and his team wanted to smuggle, whether it was passenger or freight transport, it would not be very difficult.
However, luxury starships will obviously be more comfortable and will have fewer inspections.
Two days later, the luxurious starship took off, carrying a large group of people.
These people were not just entourage, most of them were actually local people from Bitao. Seeing the imminent invasion of foreign races, they wanted to escape.
But it is difficult to leave at this time. As the saying goes, if everyone leaves, who will guard the land?
Fortunately, the owner of the starship is not an ordinary person. Others cannot stop him, and he can even take money and take people away.
The inspectors were just going through the motions and just got away with it.
Qu Jianlei and others just sat in the hall and watched the scene silently.
All the people passing by ignored the existence of the nine of them, as if there was a missing space there, which was very strange.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but sigh, "If Wu Zhen saw them leaving like this, would his eyes bulge out?"
Some people are working hard to resist the aliens, while others have already escaped. This is life.
Eight days later, the starship landed on Tianyu, a warm and rainy planet.
When Qu Jianlei and his group came out, no one checked on them at all - it would only affect their mental strength slightly.
In the alliance society, they completely let themselves go because there is no need to think too much and worry too much.
Qu Jianlei had a good impression of Tianyu, not because it rained a lot here, but because... at least men didn't have to wear skirts.
The information about the magic weapon provided by Wu Zhen has nothing to do with Tianyu, so they have no plans on this planet.
The nine people were divided into four groups, walking on the street in twos and threes, strolling leisurely in the rain.
Qu Jianlei didn't hold an umbrella - many locals didn't hold umbrellas, as if they were used to the not-so-cold rain here.
He took out a cigarette and lit it, but the light rain could not wet his cigarette butt.
"Xiao Hu, is there anything worth attacking on this planet?"
The big-headed butterfly turned twice, "Searching... Boss, why don't you tell my fortune?"
"Don't tempt me," Qu Jianlei looked around while holding a cigarette in his mouth, "Jing Yuexin will dismantle your clone!"
"There's a bankruptcy auction," Big-Headed Butterfly turned around, "The deposit is 10 million, anonymous."
