Chapter 238 Commission
The reason why Liu Xingquan posted a private chat about the reward was because he was unsure of the situation of destroying Saiao.
He looked up information about Seo on the Star Network and found that it was a beast with a head similar to that of a baboon and a body like that of a large cat. Through the holographic image, Seo had sharp teeth and extremely powerful limbs. When its brown eyes stared forward and it let out a terrifying roar, Liu Xingquan had the illusion that the whole house was shaking.
This is a carnivorous beast , mainly living in the subtropical and tropical regions. When the holographic image of Seo opened his mouth, his tongue was as red as blood, his teeth were as hard as steel, and his fierce and powerful aura was overwhelming.
Liu Xingquan felt very sad when he thought about the Tas Ball he bought at a high price. In addition, the slime mold Liu Xingquan is still recovering slowly from his broken limbs, which also makes Liu Xingquan feel very scared. Fortunately, the slime mold Liu Xingquan is a kind of regenerative fungus, so he didn't really die. But what if he didn't have the slime mold Liu Xingquan given to him by Yan Zhen, but hired other aliens? What if he was the one who took care of the ranch in the Heart of Asgard?
I'm afraid I would have been killed by this monster long ago.
Alien planets are really scary.
Liu Xingquan thought about all the horror monster movies he had seen in the past, and the more he thought about it, the worse and more terrifying it felt. Just as he used his rich imagination to describe the details of Seio swallowing the slime mold Liu Xingquan, and scared himself into a cold sweat, the Star Network issued a notification sound of new information.
Liu Xingquan clicked on the message and was surprised to find that three people had already accepted the request for help he had posted on the Interstellar Bounty Guild.
"How many Theos are there?" asked the first bounty hunter.
Liu Xingquan replied according to the information provided by the slime mold Liu Xingquan: "It is estimated that there are 6-9 Sai Ao groups."
"Easy, give me 4000 credits and I'll do it."
So cheap? Liu Xingquan, who originally thought it would cost tens of thousands, was somewhat delighted.
What he didn't expect was that the second bounty hunter offered a lower price, and he would take it over for 3,000 credit coins.
Liu Xingquan was stunned.
Before he could react, the third bounty hunter made an offer, saying that he could help him kill Seol for free.
"Free?" Although Liu Xingquan was only a middle school student who had not experienced much of the world, he knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch. "Why do you want it to be free? Aren't the labor costs and ammunition free?"
"Actually, I have a request." The third bounty hunter said, "I hope to buy Seio at a purchase price of 20,000 each."
"Acquisition?" Liu Xingquan asked, "What do you want to use Sai Ao for?"
The third bounty hunter replied, "The fur and bones of the Seol are both useful. I just need to collect a few Seol. I can help you kill them for free. Just give me a discount price for the captured Seol, whether it's dead or alive."
"Let me think about it."
Liu Xingquan began to think.
In his eyes, Sai Ao, who ate three Tas Balls and half of the slime mold Liu Xingquan, was an unforgivable monster, and there was no problem in killing him directly. The consumption of Tas Balls was not low, and although the slime mold Liu Xingquan was not a human, he was no different from a living person in Liu Xingquan's eyes. Of course, he had to kill Sai Ao to ensure their safety.
But on the other hand, as a middle school student, Liu Xingquan also has the basic concept of respecting natural animals after being exposed to some extracurricular books and documentaries. The words of the third bounty hunter just now made him suddenly alert.
These beasts were originally living in this grassland. After all, he was the outsider. Would it be too simple and crude to wipe out Sai Ao? Would it affect the local ecology? But if he let these ferocious beasts roam freely, his ranch would not be able to continue. If the ranch could be expanded in the future, it would also pose a threat to the safety of future staff.
He has to make a trade-off between the two.
After some thought, Liu Xingquan made his decision.
He decided not to exterminate the Saio, but to expel them. He would drive the Saio away from the pasture, which would ensure the safety of the pasture and minimize the harm to these native organisms.
After thinking it over, Liu Xingquan gave up the third bounty hunter who was obviously going after Seol. After comparing the prices, he chose the second hunter who was cheaper.
After he stated that he only wanted to drive the Seo around the ranch instead of simply killing them, the second bounty hunter said that the cost of driving them away would be higher than killing them directly. After some bargaining, they finally finalized the commission with 3,800 credit points.
Liu Xingquan sent the relevant information about the bounty hunter to the slime mold Liu Xingquan.
Slime mold Liu Xingquan sent him another video.
In the video, a female tass ball is squatting on the ground, its belly is round and bulging, the white fluff on its abdomen is spread out, and the light red semi-transparent skin can be vaguely seen. The slime mold Liu Xingquan, who is speaking in the voiceover, said that he has tested it and that this litter will have a total of five cubs.
I really hope it can hatch its babies safely.
Liu Xingquan clasped his hands together and prayed wholeheartedly to the God in the dark, hoping that his ranch would be safe and sound.
Luo Qingxi walked into the room holding a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented rice and happened to see this scene.
Xingquan, who has always been confident, is actually praying to gods and Buddhas.
It’s over, it looks like I’m going to fail this exam again, Luo Qingxi thought to himself.
…
…
The stars in the sky are twinkling.
Siluch landed the airship on the grassland. The grass swayed in the wind like waves. The breeze carried the dampness of rain and the smell of soil.
This is such a great place.
If only I could own a piece of land here, land with rich black soil.
Siluch sneered and shook his head to get rid of his thoughts. He was a retired soldier and a Marafu. These three personalities made up the current Siluch. He had served the glorious Galaxy Fleet for 25 star calendar years and received a fairly generous retirement allowance after retirement. He also received two medals. But after retirement, it turned out that the medals he had exchanged for blood were useless. Money is the foundation of everything. He originally wanted to use the retirement allowance to buy a fertile piece of land on a planet with a pleasant environment like this and return to farming.
But man proposes, God disposes. His former symbioteA serious illness almost consumed his retirement money. Now he has to work as a bounty hunter just to delay the life of the symbiote.
Soft and fertile land. He thought. When he was a child, his family had such a piece of land. The field was full of fresh melons, and even the air had a special sweet smell. But now, he had little money left, his former symbiont was still seriously ill, and the dream he once had became out of reach.
The stars in the sky were like scattered pearls, and the land beneath his feet was a vast grassland. He knew that this must be a fertile land full of vigorous vitality.
In fact, not only the endless grassland, the continent, the ocean and sky, and even the planets have been assigned to one owner. Owning a planet, Siluch thought, is like holding a star in my hand.
The master of this planet hired him. Now he needs to carry out the master's commission and drive away some annoying Seol.
In Siluch's opinion, this was a very strange request. He had never understood the mentality of animal protectors. The guardian of this planet was also very strange. For such a big planet, the guardian was just a disabled minor Homo sapiens with a cane.
He said: Haha, only those rich people who don’t have to worry about their livelihood would think of protecting animals.
He is the most intense personality among the three personalities of Siluch. He is dissatisfied with everything and complains all day long.
Lu said: It is also possible that the owner of this planet does not know the price of an adult Seo on the black market.
Xi said: Stop talking nonsense, work quickly, and go home early.
Xi is the most rational of the three personalities, and most of the time, Xi is the dominant one. So Xi Luhe collected his thoughts and quickly entered the working state.
In order to drive away the herd of Saio, Siluch planned to spread a kind of biogas on the grass around the pasture. This gas can directly stimulate the brain of Saio and make him feel disgusted, thus achieving the purpose of expelling him.
Biogas is essentially composed of a kind of microorganisms, which can survive in the open air for two to three years. According to Siluh's experience, as long as the gas is spread, it will be a perfect job.
Just as he was about to release the flying spreader, a new airship appeared in the sky.
It circled in the sky and then began to descend. Siluch saw that the airship was roaring down in his direction.
As the airship rumbled down, a gust of wind blew up around it.
When the hatch opened automatically, Xiluhe Zhonghe shouted, "Why is it Rong Puzhazha!"
The Rongpu Zhazha mentioned by He was also a bounty hunter. In Xiluhe's eyes, the Zhazha family was a group of rogues who disregarded the rules of the bounty guild. He immediately realized the purpose of Rongpu's coming here.
Xiluhe said, "This is my commission. The client only found me."
"I know." Rong Pu smiled maliciously, "But I have a better proposal now."
"I am the only one who can carry out the commission. You should leave here immediately!"
"What commission did the client give you?" Rong Pu spread his arms. "Expel the Saio? Look at what nonsense this is that shows no knowledge of human suffering. Those Saios should have better uses. You know how to do it in the most cost-effective way."
"You can go!"
"Listen to me. You can pretend you know nothing." Rong Pu smiled sinisterly, "And after you capture the Seos that are troubling the owner of this planet, I can give you 100,000 credits."
Lu in Xiluh shouted, "100,000 credits!"
He said: "I heard it. 100,000, it seems that the new medical expenses for the symbiote are available."
Xi said: "But this is against the terms of the commission! The customer's task is only to expel."
"Think about it," Rong Pu said, "How much can you earn from this order? After deducting your gas and material costs, this order is only enough for you to spend a night in the bar."
“…”
"Our rich customer is worried about those Seos, and I just need to satisfy his wish. Since he is unwilling to buy them, I will do it secretly. According to my investigation, this mysterious rich man has never been to this planet. The guardian of this planet is just an underage disabled Homo sapiens. What are you worried about? 120,000 credits, just shut up."
"but……"
"150,000."
Think about the medical expenses. He shouted loudly.
"Okay." Siluch agreed.
"I knew you were a smart man." Rong Pu stared at him and said, "Next, your cooperation will be very important."
…
…
A few days later, Liu Xingquan received a commission completion report from bounty hunter Siluch: he had expelled the Saio group around the ranch.
Slime mold Liu Xingquan also sent a report: there are indeed no Saios around the ranch.
At this time, at Yan's house, Xiaozhen's family also saw the latest pet food advertisement shot by the pet food company on TV.
The scene starts: Captain Ban walks proudly on a green lawn (Voiceover: We adhere to the scientific concept of nutrition and pay great attention to the formula of cat food)
The camera gives a close-up of Captain Ban, especially focusing on his chest (Voiceover: We carefully control the quality of the raw materials)
The camera once again shows Captain Ban’s wings spread out (Voiceover: We carefully select the freshest ingredients to pass vitality to your cat)
…
The camera turns, and Captain Ban and a cute cat run towards the sun with beautiful and cheerful music (voice-over: We will not add any attractants or flavorings, it is extremely delicious, just to make your cat happy...)
The Yan family turned to look at Captain Ban in silence.
Captain Madara: Grass.
