Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 20: Psychic WarChapter 20: Psychic War

”How much did you say you sold it for?”

In City 315, at the Interstellar Alliance Square, Liu Wen asked the blue fat man in surprise.

The blue fat man held his stomach, reorganized his words and said, ”A total of 250 million contribution points were sold.”

”The buyer is not from the Interstellar Alliance. As soon as the cargo ship arrived, someone contacted me through Tong Xue Na and said that they had booked this batch of ore. After knowing the quantity, they asked for 250 million contribution points. I thought that based on the spiritual energy content, if I sold it to the Interstellar Alliance for recycling, the total price would probably be less than 200 million, so I agreed!”

When Liu Wen heard that it was Tong Xue Na who introduced him, he turned around and asked Bai Haitang: ”Do you know such a person?”

Bai Haitang looked confused. If Tong Xue Na really knew such a boss, would she lower the price to sell the minerals just because she couldn’t even come up with 230,000 contribution points?

”Go and ask who that person is. I’m happy to do business with him, but if he has other ideas, I’m also happy.” Liu Wen’s words were full of warning, clearly telling Bai Haitang that if Tong Xuena sold her information, then don’t blame him for being cruel.

Bai Haitang also knew what Liu Wen was averse to. They had been working together for almost half a year, and she had a deep understanding of the fact that they always felt insecure. If Tong Xuena really leaked their information, it would not be surprising for them to do something extreme given their lack of security.

Therefore, he could only contact Tong Xue Na with a heavy heart and ask about the details.

Liu Wen wondered who would be so anxious to get psychic ore. The characteristic of the ore they collected was that they were all metal ores, which could be smelted into psychic alloys through special smelting furnaces. However, the psychic content of this batch of minerals was a bit low, and the quality of the psychic alloys smelted out of them was not very good, and might not even meet the normal standards.

So what is the purpose of the other party’s actions?
”Go to the Intelligence Department and check if there have been any fluctuations in the market for psychic ore recently.” Liu Wen said to the blue fat man.

The blue fat man turned and headed straight for the Alliance Building, while Liu Wen began to take stock of the assets he currently had.

It has been a busy six months. Although the expenses are high, the income has been considerable. Together with the 250 million contribution points that have just been received, after adding up the miscellaneous income and expenses in the past six months, there are still a total of more than 273.66 million contribution points left.

The warships in hand include two level VI cruiser-class battleships, twenty alien frigate-class battleships as one formation, and another two frigate-class battleships and mining barge transport ships and scientific research ships in another formation.

According to the previous plan, we will purchase five level VI destroyer-class battleships, with the target being the products of Daqin Heavy Industries of the Shangxia Republic. Since we have a complete set of production materials for frigate-class battleships, we are not in a hurry to buy them. What we have now is enough for the time being.

Finally, we will buy a level VI battleship, which is also produced by Daqin Heavy Industry of the Shangxia Republic. The total expenditure is 120 million contribution points for a battleship and 4.5 million contribution points for a destroyer. In addition, we will equip it with some high-end detection radars, fire control radars, unmanned fighter production lines, etc., for a total expenditure of 156.5 million contribution points.

I still have about 114 million contribution points left. I’ll keep them for now and find another alien to do something with later. It would be best to rob a shipyard and then spend the money according to my needs.

Moreover, a large number of employees will come in from both sides, and the monthly salary will also be a huge expense. In order to ensure the loyalty of the employees, it would be best to gather those who joined the fleet in the second world together in the main universe and take turns to work and command the fleet.

”Frigates have at least five people per shift, destroyers have at least twelve people per shift, cruisers have at least twenty-five people per shift, battleships have at least forty people per shift, large transport ships have seven people per shift, and scientific research ships have at least one researcher per subject. Three shifts plus a certain amount of redundancy means that according to the current scale, we need to recruit 600 employees to run the fleet.”

Liu Wen felt overwhelmed after just a simple calculation of the labor cost. Mathematics, even if simple, is a test of one’s brain nerves.

There are about 600 people in the Second World, and the monthly salary expenditure is about 600,000 contribution points. In addition to a small number of management personnel and logistics personnel, the main space station mainly has technical personnel for maintenance. Fortunately, the expenditure is in credit points, and it is only about 10 million credit points a month, which is not too high.

No wonder those small teams have several ships and a dozen people taking turns. According to their monthly mining income, it is only a few thousand contribution points a day. After various expenses, the actual income they receive in a day may not even be four figures.

”Boss, are we taking too big a step? We don’t even have a stable income.” Jack was helping Liu Wen with the accounts. After calculating, he felt very troubled when he saw the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of contribution points every month. This was all money!
”We don’t need any industry to provide blood transfusion for the time being. You have seen that we will make more and more money by following me during this period of time. We don’t need to go out to strengthen our strength. No matter how much money we have, it will only make us fatter. Greedy people can eat whatever they want, whenever they want.” Liu Wen patted Jack’s shoulder and said earnestly.

Jack pondered for a moment and realized that the boss had indeed done nothing wrong, and his ability to make money was really strong. It had only been a short time since he left the Paradise Island Infant Nursery, less than a year, and he had already earned hundreds of millions of contribution points. If converted into Blue River Empire credit points, it would be tens of billions. Many so-called large companies and large teams might not have so much net assets.

”Let’s go, let’s buy everything we need first.” Liu Wen took Jack into the Interstellar Alliance Building to shop.

Bai Haitang worriedly found Tong Xuena and asked, ”Who was the person you introduced to Lan Tian to buy ore?”

Tong Xue Na looked confused: ”I don’t know either. I don’t know how they knew I had a large amount of refined ore, so they came to ask me how to sell it. The ore is not mine, so I can only ask them to go find Boss Liu.”

”It turns out that Boss Liu was not in this star field. It was Lan Tian who received the message. Then they bought all the ore in Lan Tian’s hands. Afterwards, they sent me a red envelope of 20,000 contribution points.”

”Don’t you know where they come from?” Bai Haitang still believed in her sister. After all, they had been together for so many years, and she knew which hole to go to just by looking at her.

Tong Xue Na nodded: ”I really don’t know. I asked at first, but they just said it was a private purchase.”

”Well, I hope they can gain something from the Interstellar Alliance Intelligence Department.” Seeing that he could not find any useful information, Bai Haitang had to give up.

Tong Xue Na asked doubtfully, ”Isn’t it a good thing to sell the ore at a high price? People don’t even want to look at my own ore. Is there something special about this batch of ore?”

How would Bai Haitang know this? It’s true that she is familiar with psychic materials, but she only knows whether it is a psychic material and how much it can be sold for. If you ask her what the psychic ore can be used for, aren’t you just deliberately making things difficult for her?

The two of them muttered to each other for a long time without coming to a conclusion. As they talked, the topic turned to how Taozi had grown up again and how the little white tiger was so cute and could spit.

The blue fat man returned to the airport where the fleet was docked with the purchase information, and saw several more warships nearby. The muzzle of one of the warships was dozens of meters thick.

”Brother Wen, this is the information we purchased. It’s very interesting.” The blue fat man followed the route provided by Liu Wen and entered the fourth-generation Xinghai, which is the latest purchased sixth-level battleship.

Liu Wen and Jack got together and looked at the so-called interesting information mentioned by the blue fat man.

”Shangguan Haitang of the Shangguan family of the Blue River Empire? Has your psychic power reached level six and you are preparing to build a psychic battleship?”

Liu Wen and Jack looked at each other with the same expression, what a psychic battleship!
”What a rich guy!” Jack exclaimed after a long time.

Liu Wen nodded in agreement unconsciously. They did have money, as that was a psychic battleship. However, the Shangguan family did have the confidence, but he didn’t know whether they could succeed.

”By the way, it seems that the butcher is also from the Shangguan family, right?” Fatty Blue suddenly asked.

”The butcher’s real name seems to be Shangguan Xi, right? At most, he is from the side branch of the Shangguan family, and the relationship is quite distant, otherwise he would not be suppressed like that.” Liu Wen recalled the information he remembered and made this judgment based on the actual situation. ”Tsk, are all the women from the Shangguan family so strong? It seems that I have never heard of any famous man from the Shangguan family.” After careful recollection, the blue fat man found that he had never heard of a male celebrity with the surname Shangguan.

”This is none of our business. Since the ore was purchased by the Shangguan family, let’s just leave it as it is. The territory of the Blue River Empire belongs to the royal family, and the economy belongs to the Shangguan family. Tsk!” Liu Wen shook his head and stopped thinking about the affairs of these wealthy nobles. No matter how much they thought about it, they would not give him a single credit point.

”Lant just sent me a message saying that the job fair is almost ready and the number of applicants has reached 150,000. However, some companies saw the job fair we held and they also wanted to get involved and use our job fair to recruit some people. They asked us if it is possible.” Jack closed his eyes and received the information from the main universe, then spoke to Liu Wen.

”Give me money?” Fat Blue asked immediately.

”Of course, I’ll pay you according to the normal use of the venue.” Jack smiled, ”About 100,000 credit points per family.”

”One hundred thousand per family? How much did we spend on the job fair? How many companies paid?” The blue fat man’s eyes lit up.

”I remember Rand reported before that the total cost was less than two million credit points. The advertising fees in the plaza became free after the mall store advertisements were inserted. Currently, fourteen companies are interested in joining the job fair. Rand estimates that if we agree, some more companies will join in.” Jack said after using the login cabin to retrieve the information and check it.

”That is to say, not only did we not have to spend any money by holding this job fair, but we actually made some money?” The blue fat man was as happy as a 300-pound tumbler.

Liu Wen also felt a little strange. Isn’t it said that job fairs usually waste money? How come he could make money here?
”Tell Lant to screen the participating companies. At least they should have good reputations. Don’t accept those with bad reputations.” Liu Wen thought that his family was also doing business on Dream Star, and it would not be good to refuse money offered by others. More friends mean more ways to go. If businessmen help each other, the benefits will come. This is the way businessmen do things.

Putting this matter aside, there are still two days before the job fair. If we join dozens of companies now, it is estimated that there will be hundreds of thousands of applicants by then. Of course, most of them are just trying their luck, ordinary citizens who live on the minimum living allowance and wait for death. Those who come here to get a resume for free have no intention of actually going to work.

After dinner, several people went to practice their spiritual powers. They were having a great time when Wa Zai hurriedly sent them an emergency signal, asking them to quickly enter the second world.

”Wa Zai, what happened?” As soon as Liu Wen came online, he quickly ran to the cab and asked Wa Zai who was on duty.

”Boss, something happened in the city. Two high-level psychics attacked the city from the subspace. Now, except for the Interstellar Alliance Building which is wrapped in a protective shield, the entire city is almost demolished in half.” Frog said with sweat dripping from his forehead, pointing at the city 315 outside the porthole.

”A battle between two high-level psychics?” Liu Wen quickly sat in the command chair, called up the detectors and detection radars. At the same time, the intelligent center connected all the spacecraft, ignited them and took off, leaving the airport.

”Ding! High energy reaction detected, please evade immediately!”

What was going on? Before Liu Wen could react, the intelligence center autonomously mobilized the warship to evade, the steering engine was fully activated, and the energy shield, deflection force field, and mental force field were all activated.

A loud bang was heard along the metal armor and into the cockpit, and the battleship shook for a long time before it stabilized again.

”Is a war going on?” Jack, who had just entered, was knocked to the ground because of the shaking of the battleship. The blue fat man behind him ran in steadily because of his weight, sat down on the radar detection position, and organized the radar detection data and optical data into an image and projected it.

315 In the sky above the city, two Super Saiyan-like figures were shrouded in golden flames. They moved quickly towards each other while fighting with all their might.

The punching speed of both sides has reached more than 1,300 times per second, and the sonic boom has never stopped. The strong winds generated by the rapid punches are comparable to a level 8 or 9 hurricane. In addition, the energy is released wantonly due to the collision of psychic energy. Even a little bit of the energy afterwave is comparable to the artillery power of a level 5 battleship, destroying buildings into ruins.

In the entire city, only the Interstellar Alliance Building raised a thin energy shield to protect it, and the most important subspace battlefield portal and a few squares in the surrounding area were also protected and did not suffer any damage.

Countless people in the city who did not have time to escape were killed by the aftermath of the fight between the two sides, or were evaporated by the released energy. Many aircraft flying in the air were shot down. Occasionally, one or two deflected psychic attacks would explode into space, directly blowing up the spacecraft if they were unlucky, while those with good luck would make the spacecraft shake for a long time like the Xinghai.

”Energy detection shows that their individual energy values ​​have reached seven thousand degrees, and their psychic reaction is that of a sixth-level psychic!” The blue fat man roared in horror.

”Hurry, leave the city airspace and jump out of the star system.” When Liu Wen heard that it was a level six psychic, he forced the jump without saying a word.

The battle between the two level six psychics became more and more intense. The energy emitted during the collisions became more and more frequent and powerful. The entire city covering thousands of square kilometers was flattened in this battle, leaving huge pits, as if it had been subjected to orbital bombing by a battleship.

The planet’s continental plates were shaking non-stop during the battle between the two sides. Earthquakes and tsunamis occurred one after another. Volcanoes were spewing thick smoke and gushing hot lava into the sky!

”This is playing with fire. This is a city of the Interstellar Alliance. Although they don’t care about the accident in the Alliance Building, it now affects the entire planet!” After leaving the star system, Liu Wen finally had the leisure to pay attention to the battle. A battle between level six psychics is rarely seen in this inner territory.

Sure enough, within two minutes, several psychics whose psychic reactions also reached the sixth level standard directly leapt into the star system and simultaneously took action to stop both sides of the war.

”They are the psychics of the garrison fleet of the Blue River Empire’s administrative star field.” The blue fat man determined their origins by observing the clothing of the psychics that appeared behind them.

After several Blue River Empire military psychics separated and surrounded the two men, more than a dozen cruiser-class battleships and four battleships simultaneously leapt into the star system. The battleships’ fire control radars aimed at the two men fighting, and all kinds of restraint devices were turned on as if they were free, covering the airspace where the two were.

It was not until this time that the spiritual energy flames on the two people gradually weakened, revealing their true appearance under the flames.

”Hey, isn’t this the butcher Shangguan Xi? And this one seems to be Duanmu Yiyong, the leader of the Black Dragon Pirates of Paradise Island. He’s actually a level six psychic?” Liu Wen was shocked to see the two people reveal their true faces. They were all acquaintances. Even though he was the only one familiar with them, they were celebrities who were introduced in great detail in the Infant and Child Care Institute.

”Boss, did Duanmu Yiyong run away and get caught by the butcher again?” Jack guessed curiously.

Liu Wen shook his head and said nothing. Who knew what had happened to them? And wasn’t it said that they were attacked from the subspace?
”Frog, are you sure they fought their way into the city from the subspace battlefield?”

Frog answered confidently: ”It’s true. I was also called here by the alarm. They first appeared in the square, and then the Interstellar Alliance Building raised a protective shield.”

Several people continued to watch the live broadcast. After verifying his identity, the butcher Shangguan Xi was freed from his restraints. Duanmu Yiyong was surrounded by several people until two military psychics put a psychic restraint device on him and sent him to a transport ship and took him away. Shangguan Xi was also taken away by the military.

It was not until this time that several round aircraft flew out from somewhere in the Interstellar Alliance Building and headed to various parts of the planet to stabilize continental plates, quell volcanic eruptions, and clear tsunamis and landslides.

It’s just that no one is managing the destroyed city. The many spaceship wreckages floating in the sky and the holes on the ground that seem to have been hit by meteorites show how dangerous and exciting the scene just now was.

Liu Wen was not in a hurry to return. He had nowhere to stay now, so he simply started the spaceship and jumped towards the 314 star field.
