Chapter 30: Debt, but became the captain
A few minutes later.
Yang Ming turned his back to Mimili and closed the metal door, looking a little messy.
He suddenly began to doubt his life.
Mimily is a supporter of asexual relationships and she advocates the use of inter-sensing devices for direct neuron-to-neuron communication... well, that's her freedom.
What else could Yang Ming do? Apart from expressing understanding and giving encouragement, he gently encouraged her to stick to herself and try to be avant-garde and fashionable like an elder.
The rays that appeared from the side intertwined the image of Molly, who was laughing non-stop.
"You knew it a long time ago?" Yang Ming glared at Molly.
"Yes, Master Hanton," Molly pushed up her glasses, "Master Mimili likes cutting-edge science very much, but she is a little obsessed. Perhaps you can use your manly charm to change her preferences, Molly thinks."
"Come on, Molly, you should respect other people's hobbies."
Yang Ming put his hands behind his head and walked towards his room.
Molly immediately caught up.
Because the projection device was located in a limited position, her figure was sometimes blurry and sometimes bright.
"Master Hanton, are you sure you don't want to seduce Mimily? She's a young girl and already has certain hormones for you. From what I understand, as long as you arouse her interest, fall in love with her, and are strong enough, she will most likely obey you in the end."
"Molly, you used the word obey."
Yang Ming turned and stared at Molly.
Molly said: "The weak obey the strong. This is the basic ecology of human society that I have observed."
"Then your observation is limited and not detailed," Yang Ming explained seriously, "Friends and partners should respect each other, and enemies and subordinates need to be conquered."
Molly asked, "Is this a sign of hypocrisy?"
“Why is it hypocritical?”
"Only conquest can bring pleasure and make your brain secrete more dopamine. This is what Master Kolev told me."
Yang Ming smiled and said , "Then can you understand what friendship, responsibility, and sacrifice are? If we understand it purely from a biological perspective, when parents face a three or four-year-old child, the hormones in their bodies that are specific to this child have already subsided, but they will still endure the cubs' noise and protect and help them. Why is this?"
Molly said thoughtfully: "Maybe I need to observe and think more."
"Yes, Molly," Yang Ming said with a smile, "You have never been to the outside world. The structure of human society is extremely complex. When enough individuals come together, a network will be formed. And when each individual is extremely complex, the amount of information that this network can generate will burst your hard drive."
Molly was silent for a few seconds.
She said, "Well, I won't do anything beyond my capabilities. I'm just a long-winded smart housekeeper... The old master is waiting for you in the hangar. He already knows that you are in the same room."
Yang Ming cursed: "You little traitor."
"Kolev is my first master, and you are the third master. Here in Molly, your orders have different priorities."
Molly emphasized:
“It’s not a betrayal, it’s a difference in priorities.”
Yang Ming calmly turned towards the hangar, but he was still a little confused.
Ah, this Mimily who gives uncle a headache.
…
In Mimi's room.
She raised her hand to her forehead and stared at the two helmets for a while.
"Oh, I think I messed up... He doesn't seem to accept this approach?"
Mimili muttered quietly: "But everyone has their own freedom, what's wrong with that?"
She lay down on the sofa, staring at the still warm cakes quietly, then sighed dejectedly and lay there for a long time without moving.
Like a beautiful salted fish that has lost its dreams.
…
In the corner of the hangar, Yang Ming stared at the pincer-shaped battleship in front of him. No matter how you looked at it, it was a huge ship, not a light ship as defined by the warship definition.
"What did you guys just talk about?"
Kolev leaned over and whispered.
"Little things."
Yang Ming looked at Kolev guiltily.
Kolev played with the electronic parts in his hand, lowered his head and sighed:
"In fact, she has her own freedom, and I shouldn't interfere. But you know, Hanton, she is my only relative, and I always overprotect her without realizing it."
"Nothing happened between us," Yang Ming explained, "and you should pay attention to her mental health."
"There's no need to comfort an old man like me. If I were a young woman, I would also be attracted to you," Kolev said with a bitter smile.
Yang Ming was too tired to complain for a moment and could only nod in agreement.
Starry Widow needs his care and love?
Yang Ming felt that if things continued like this, there was a high probability that he would become a gigolo in the future.
Mimili has now demonstrated an excellent sense of the overall situation and leadership in battle.
"Let's talk business," Yang Ming said, "Tell me about your revenge plan. It's almost three months."
Kolev regained his serious demeanor and said, "I plan to establish contact with a trusted confidant. He was the guy whose status in the pirate group was second only to Kimo. He also has great ambitions. His name is Guka."
"Then what?"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "I don't really trust this Gu Ka. Apart from the pirates here who can't contact the outside world, I don't trust anyone in your Black Dragon Group."
"I don't trust him either, nor do I trust anyone of theirs now," Kolev said, "but this doesn't stop us from coming up with a plan. There is one thing you have to understand. Black Dragon is also my hard work. What I want is to keep the ship as much as possible."
Yang Ming shook his head: "They have betrayed you - although it was Mimili who was betrayed directly. I think what you need to do is not to subdue the black dragon, but to destroy the black dragon, eliminate the threat, and then help Mimili to establish a new pirate group."
Kolev had his hands behind his back, his old face full of thought.
"I know, Hanton," Kolev said, "You are always wise and sharp, and you are right. But people will always make mistakes in their lives. I have fought for the Black Dragon for most of my life, and I don't want to..."
"Listen first mate!"
Yang Ming's voice was a little high-pitched and his eyes were aggressive.
"The Black Dragon Pirates are not your private property. When you decide to pass it on as your private property, the following things are bound to happen. It is a collective, you are the leader, but you are not the whole flock! What we have to do now, or if you want to do something for your daughter, is to eliminate this threat. Your former pirate group has become the enemy of you and your daughter!"
Kolev held onto the edge of the table and sat down.
His cloudy eyes showed some hesitation.
Yang Ming looked at the old man and felt somewhat soft-hearted.
"I may have said something a little too harsh, but I stand by my point of view."
"I understand," Kolev said with a wry smile, "but Hanton, those guys, those guys I trained, I still feel... I have to find a way to take back at least three or four ships and rebuild my prestige among them."
Yang Ming sighed in his heart and said slowly: "I know your ability, Kolev. Without you, the Black Dragon Pirates are only a second-rate pirate group. Tell me your plan and I will help you as much as possible. For the sake of this ship."
"I want to use Guka to fight Kimo," Kolev said. "The firepower of Guka's ship is second only to Kimo. Now he is the deputy leader of the Black Dragon and has a big disagreement with Kimo. But I know that he is only interested in three things now."
"three things?"
"My influence, my wealth, my beautiful daughter."
Yang Ming's expression was hard to describe: "Is this Guka also a contactless enthusiast?"
"What?" Kolev was a little confused.
"Ah, it's okay," Yang Ming asked, "So what are your plans?"
Kolev made a gesture, and rays of light intertwined, and a projection screen appeared in front of him.
——Molly is already very good at doing this.
The busts of two men appeared on the screen. They were Kimo and Guka, Kolev's right-hand men in his early years.
Kolev said, "Whether we can provoke a war between Guka and Kimo is the key to our victory. My current target is the other ships besides these two forces. Guka's character is forbearing, vicious, cruel, and greedy. What he cares about most now should be my wealth, so if I am caught by him, he will kill me for a while."
Yang Ming frowned tightly: "You plan to use yourself as bait."
"That's right," Kolev said, "I plan to throw myself onto the scales. This is the only way to break the balance between them now."
Yang Ming looked at the information on the screen carefully, then slowly sat down on the edge of the workbench. His strong, warm muscles glowed slightly under the light.
He asked: "Since I have accepted your benefits, I will naturally help you carry out your plan. Will I be by your side to protect you?"
"No, no, no, you are plan two."
"Um?"
Kolev raised his eyebrows. "I made this plan after fully considering the actual situation. I need a force on the periphery that can pose a threat to both of them. You are that force."
Yang Ming became interested: "Tell me in detail."
“My thinking is very simple.”
Kolev shook off his dejection and said with a blazing gaze:
“First, I will find a way to fall into Guka’s hands, and then openly support Guka. Guka and Kimo have arranged spies for each other. What I am waiting for is their confrontation and encounter, and then I will focus on each other and find a way to make them fight.
“This is what I’m responsible for.
"When they have a dispute...if the dispute is on the ground, then I don't have to worry about anything, you can easily resolve them, right Hanton?"
Yang Ming said seriously: "I need to know their specific strength, firepower intelligence, and a large number of weapons."
"I'll give you everything... but this is only the easiest scenario. The pirates will be very alert. I guess the standoff will most likely happen between ships."
Kolev said: "When the two sides start fighting, you need to break into Kimo's hull. You don't have to consider my face. You can blow up the entire ship. You can kill Kimo in front of everyone. At this stage, you need to show your dominance, and then I can turn the tables in front of Guka."
Yang Ming thought carefully for a while.
Kolev reminded him, "The reward for this is that you can use one million credits to buy this spaceship, and my pirate base will always be your supply port from now on."
Yang Ming said with emotion: "Your plan sounds somewhat executive, but in fact, it can be summed up in four words: act according to circumstances."
“Hahaha! That’s it!”
Kolev laughed for a while.
"You might encounter an unexpected event, Kolev," Yang Ming warned.
"This possibility has been with me for more than forty years, Hanton. This is the profession of piracy."
"Since you insist," Yang Ming shrugged, "I am willing to take the risk with you. After all, the discount you gave me is too big."
Kolev smiled with relief and stood up.
"Come with me, First Mate. I had Molly split off an artificial intelligence of the same specifications. It is now the main control system of your ship. However, due to the capacity limitations of the shipboard computer itself, it cannot be as vivid as Molly."
Yang Ming was overjoyed: "Molly's nagging has been restricted? That's great."
Molly's voice sounded beside her: "Can I understand this as a kind of disgust towards me?"
"Without a doubt," Yang Ming answered decisively.
Molly snorted, "That means there's a good chance I'll be liked by the public."
A butler robot drove a "sightseeing car" and took Yang Ming and Kolev to the landing port of the clamp-shaped spacecraft.
Kolev took a glass plate the size of a cell phone from the robot's hands.
"This is the authentication key for this spaceship. I have already entered your biological information in advance. I have collected your hair follicles on a daily basis. Don't worry, I have destroyed your biological information for you. I have no interest in biochemical transformation.
"This is an IOU, you need to sign it."
Yang Ming carefully read the narrative that couldn't be simpler.
[I now owe Kolev one million federal credit coins, which must be repaid within three years. If you fail to do so, you will incur interest equal to the normal commercial loan interest of the Federal Head Office.]
Then he solemnly...signed his name as Hanton.
"This is actually a ritual. I cannot go against my principles as a pirate. Now, Captain Hanton, you need to name your spaceship and also name your auxiliary system."
Yang Ming thought about it and casually typed a line of imperial language.
The spacecraft is named: Flying Henan People.
The main control system is named: Molly No. 2.
Yang Ming calmly clicked the confirmation button and even laughed out loud.
This is a lousy joke.
