"Give up?" Everyone looked to Lan Xuanyu at the same time.
Lan Xuanyu nodded without hesitation and said, "This mission didn't take us too long, and we have also gained something in other aspects. We might as well hurry back and change to another mission before continuing. The biggest problem with this exploration mission is that we can't find any results. Since we have encountered this, we have to accept it. Let's go back and continue other tasks."
Qian Lei clenched his fist and said, "Combat missions are better. At least there is a clear goal."
Lan Xuanyu said: "Go back, complete the transaction and return home."
Liu Guicheng's ability to do things was better than Lan Xuanyu had imagined. When they returned to the exchange, the evaluation of the two complete warships had been completed. Each ship had 120 tons of basic rare metals. The total for the two ships was 240 tons.
Lan Xuanyu did not exchange for rare metals this time, because it was enough for the time being. The price of exchange here was also relatively expensive. It would be better to take the basic rare metals back directly, and the Ring of Destiny could also hold them.
"Liu Guicheng, you did a great job. The Purple Fire Pirates are now in your hands. I'll leave you a contact number. You can choose to go back with the Purple Fire Pirates, or you can choose to join us. The purpose of our operation has been achieved. You have also played your due role. It is up to you to choose." Lan Xuanyu stood in front of Liu Guicheng and said to him indifferently.
Liu Guicheng gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to join the Thirty-Three Heavenly Wings. Please accept me. I exchanged this with my own savings, please give it to me." As he spoke, he took out a small metal bottle from his pocket and handed it to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu looked at him with some confusion, "What is this?"
Liu Guicheng said: "This is an implantable brain needle. It can be implanted in the human brain. After implantation, there will be a remote control connected to the satellite. As long as it is pressed in the same galaxy, the brain needle can be detonated, causing the implanted person to die from a headshot. I am willing to implant the brain needle and pledge my loyalty to you."
Lan Xuanyu didn't expect this person to be so determined. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you? After all, you know a little more about us."
Liu Guicheng smiled bitterly and said, "I am considered old among the interstellar pirates. I have seen many interstellar pirates. I think I still have some judgment. Although I don't know the origin of our Thirty-Three Heavenly Wings, I can feel that you have a different smell from the dirty smell of ordinary interstellar pirates. Your smell is very fresh and positive. I think that only by following you can I have a future. Maybe, I can have a good end. My request is not high. I will serve our Thirty-Three Heavenly Wings for ten years. If possible, you can buy me a small house on Heaven Star for my retirement, and I will be satisfied."
"You are very smart." Lan Xuanyu looked at the bitter smile on Liu Guicheng's face and nodded slightly.
Liu Guicheng was undoubtedly smart, as he dared to place a big bet without knowing their origins. In fact, his bet was undoubtedly correct. The Thirty-Three Sky Wings came from Shrek Academy, and Lan Xuanyu and the others were the elites of Shrek Academy, an unprecedented experimental class. In the future, they will undoubtedly become stronger every day. Once they enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, they will be on a completely different level. How can the interstellar pirates compare
Liu Guicheng took the metal tube from Lan Xuanyu's hand and pressed it against the back of his head. He pressed the button to activate it, and the next moment, his whole body trembled violently, and it took more than ten seconds for him to calm down.
Then he handed the metal tube to Lan Xuanyu and said, "The blue button on it is for activation, and the red button is for taking out the brain needle. This concerns my life, so please keep it safe. If one day you think I am qualified to break free from its control, please help me take it out."
Lan Xuanyu didn't act pretentiously. He put the metal tube into the brain needle, then took out ten tons of basic rare metals and handed them to Liu Guicheng.
"This is the money I leave for you. You can stay here or go to Paradise Star. We can keep in touch at any time."
Liu Guicheng certainly doesn’t have a storage soul guide large enough to hold so many rare metals, but how to deal with them is his business, and Lan Xuanyu believes that he must have a way.
Liu Guicheng watched them leave before his expression calmed down. He frowned slightly, touched the back of his head, and sighed, "I hope my choice is right. The place I really want to go is the Douluo Federation! After all, I'm old."
Seven Skywing fighters broke through the atmosphere, returned to space, and directly returned to the Thirty-Three Skywing battleships.
The thirty-three Tianyi warships slowly appeared in space, emerged from their stealth state, activated their tractor beams, and towed the Tianyi fighters over, slowly merging into the interior of the warships.
A few minutes later, the main jet nozzles of the thirty-three-wing fighter were fully opened, and the battleship gradually became illusory and disappeared silently into the space.
Turning on the stealth mode undoubtedly consumes a lot of energy, especially when flying at full speed. But at this time, the Thirty-Three Heavenly Wings will never be stingy.
They gained a lot this time, and they might have offended the Pirate King of Paradise Star, so escaping safely was the most important thing.
The only pity is that the team failed to complete the Doutian mission this time. There is nothing we can do about it. The most worrying thing about this kind of exploration mission is that there is no real exploration target at all. This is why the mission was rated as the third level even though it was not difficult. It is because the probability of failure is not low.
"Next we need to discuss the next course of action." Lan Xuanyu called all the students over to the main control room. The warship was guided by navigation and did not need them to do anything more.
"Let me tell you what I think first." Lan Xuanyu said, "We have gained a lot this time. The rare metals are enough for everyone to make two-character battle armor."
As soon as he said this, everyone cheered before he could continue. The rare metals needed for the two-character battle armor! How precious they are. Normally, many students may not be able to collect them after completing the Doutian mission. In the next two school years, they will have to go all out to collect the two-character battle armor.
Now that we have the rare metals, all that remains is forging and manufacturing, which will naturally be much easier.
Lan Xuanyu continued, "Don't be too happy yet. You guys, the one-word battle armor, still owe me the badge. The rare metals of the two-word battle armor are earned by everyone performing the mission together, but you still have to pay for the labor, right?"
"Hahaha. Too many lice won't bite, too many debts won't worry. I will definitely give it. I will give it if I have it." Bing Tianliang laughed happily.
In fact, Lan Xuanyu never asked them for the money they owed.
Lan Xuanyu said unhappily, "Then you go to the back row. What I want to discuss with you is that in addition to the rare metals that are enough to build the two-character battle armor, there are still 220 tons of basic rare metals. How to deal with these resources. We have to keep 20 tons as the power reserve for the battleship in the future. For the remaining 200 tons, we have several options. First, change them into badges and give them to everyone. Let you save them. Although it is not enough to buy the Tianyi fighter, it is still a lot. Second, we continue to buy some ammunition from the Tang Sect and continue to steal from the pirates during the mission. Two hundred tons of basic rare metals are not a small amount, but if it is used as combat resources, it is not too much. Of course, we also have the ammunition and rare metals captured from the pirate battleships, and we can exchange them for some badges when we go back. I haven't calculated the specific number yet. I want to discuss with you, mainly how should we do it in the overall direction? In addition, because this Doutian mission failed, we don't have much time to rest when we go back, and we have to carry out the next mission. We must speed up."
