Chapter 404: Leaving and Vimala's Reward
"You did a good job this time..." Vimala praised, and then changed her words:
"But you should have told me in advance so I could be more prepared."
As the incident happened suddenly, Vimala was completely unprepared, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the battle.
If she had prepared earlier, she could have torn more meat from Titus.
"I wasn't sure whether Titus would attack me." Li Yu said perfunctorily. He just didn't want the Vimala family to dominate, otherwise how could he benefit from it.
Vimala did not delve into it further. Li Yu was now a hero, so how could she blame him?
"Titus will be quiet for quite some time this time, but I was pretty scared by Elton..." Li Yu said meaningfully.
Instead of talking nonsense here, it would be better to reward something substantial.
Vimala's face froze. Was he asking for benefits now? He was so obsessed with money that he forgot about the job he had helped him get?
However, it is only natural that those who have made contributions should be rewarded, otherwise who would do things for her.
"What do you need?" Vimala asked in a bad tone. She looked very similar to Klein, but her face was more elegant and cold.
"Military-grade alloys, the more the better!" Li Yu didn't bother to care about the queen's expression. As long as he was given benefits, he would even be willing to sit on the throne.
"Another military-grade alloy!?" Vimala was also a little troubled: "This year, you have swallowed up one-tenth of the alloys of the entire military. Prince Connor has come to me many times."
"Now Guixing can only purchase from outside, where can we get so much alloy for you?"
"No? Then change it into star coins..." Li Yu thought for a moment and could only do it reluctantly.
Vimala felt even more upset. At their level, there was no way they could be directly rewarded with star coins. She frowned and said:
"I suddenly remembered that the Stuart Galaxy produces a lot of alloys, and part of it is supplied to Guixing. They should have some surplus..."
"Stuart Galaxy?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Xiao Chaonao to call up the star map. His eyes suddenly became playful.
"My noble queen, you still want me to go to the no-man's land..."
The Stuart Galaxy is the galaxy closest to the No Man's Land and the one that has signed the [Friendship and Mutual Assistance Treaty] with Guixing.
With this treaty in place, Guixing can build a star gate within the territory of the Stuart civilization, nominally for support, but in reality, those who understand will understand.
In interstellar warfare, logistical support is an extremely critical issue, and the convenience of star gates is favored by all forces.
However, due to the uncertainty of the war situation, building a star gate near the battlefield is too risky.
Therefore, many civilizations choose safe places nearby to build star gates.
It just so happened that the Stuart civilization was relatively close to the No Man's Land, so Guixing simply passed through it.
"The war situation in Borderland is stable now, there is no harm in you going there," Vimala explained.
Even if Vimala didn't say it, Li Yu was ready to leave the central galaxy, but since Vimala spoke first, how could he not take advantage of her.
Li Yu offered a condition: "It's okay for me to go to the No Man's Land, but I must let the Stuart civilization help me with all its strength."
So, Vimala couldn't help but ask the classic question: "What on earth do you want so much military-grade alloy for?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "Queen, you are wrong. This is not a request but a transaction. The previous 200 billion tons were exchanged for prisoners, not given to me by Guixing."
What he meant was that I earned these alloys myself, and it was none of your business what I used them for.
Vimala frowned slightly. Although the relationship between the Stuart civilization and Guixing was "close", in order to avoid interstellar public opinion, Guixing also purchased alloys from Stuart.
However, if she couldn't do anything, she would be unworthy of being called the "Iron Queen".
"I can ask Stuart to advance you 50 billion tons..." Vimala shook her head and said, "If it's more, I can't do anything."
This number has far exceeded Li Yu's expectations and is higher than Morgan's value.
Vimala should have also included the intention of continuing to win over Li Yu, which is why he gave so much alloy.
"No problem..." Li Yu was not greedy: "I'll prepare and go there today."
Li Yu's attitude surprised Vimala a little. He thought this guy would find another excuse to refuse.
Is this a way to feel my sincerity?
Fifty billion tons of military-grade alloys is not a small number, and the reward alone is far from reaching this number.
After this Elton incident, she valued Li Yu even more, so she was willing to give so much.
Li Yu decisively agreed, which Vimala considered as returning the favor.
Satisfied with Li Yu's attitude, Vimala finally smiled slightly.
Li Yu hung up the call amid Vimala's inexplicable smile, still muttering in his heart: "Why do two people who look so similar feel completely different when they smile?"
The news that Li Yu was about to take up the post of commander of the Black Eye Fleet did not cause much stir.
Everyone knows that this day will come, and Li Yu cannot delay it any longer.
…
Five days later, outside the [Star Veil], the Meteor Fleet was ready to go. After Vimala's operation, the original Meteor Fleet was incorporated into the Black Eye Fleet.
Most of those who came to see him off were from the Vimala camp. Amidst various congratulations, Li Yu stepped into the main ship and drove into the star gate.
Just as the Meteor Fleet entered the star gate, Titus was listening to reports from his men.
"…Your Highness, all traces of people around Li Yu have disappeared. Tu Ying and Keller have applied for leave of absence. Sinai, who occasionally came out to buy groceries, has also disappeared. Only a few insignificant small shrimps are left…"
"Preliminary estimates show that he probably took them all away..."
"Took away by him?" Titus felt a little confused when he heard the report from his subordinates.
Am I afraid that I might harm the people around him?
Is my reputation outside that bad?
Or is there another reason?
He couldn't possibly defect, could he? There was no need. He had already resolved all the problems with Elton, so there was no need for him to defect.
"Your Highness, I found out one more thing..." The subordinate had a strange look on his face and was hesitant.
"explain."
"The laboratory awarded to Li Yu is no longer occupied..."
Titus glanced at his subordinate, somewhat displeased. He wondered if he needed to be told about such things. If the person was gone, he was gone.
"…the things inside have also been emptied…" the subordinate added.
Who did you learn this heavy breathing from? Titus narrowed his eyes. Li Yu had also emptied the laboratory. It looked like he was running away with a bucket.
"Write a report and submit it to the Queen, initiating a routine inquiry..." Titus said.
This matter could be a big deal or a small one, because Li Yu could completely argue about the right of use.
Instead of expecting this incident to cause any trouble to Li Yu, it would be better to find out why he ran away with the bucket.
Is it because of that incident?
Titus's expression suddenly changed slightly, but how did he know? Was it a camp at a different latitude?
…
Stargate jump also takes a certain amount of time, and soon after Li Yu entered the stargate, Prince Connor called...
"Li Yu!" Prince Connor's face was grim. "Do you want to defect? You only have the right to use the experimental base! Who told you to take the things inside away!?"
"Oh, Prince Connor, I admit that this is my fault. I really didn't pay attention to the [Laboratory Usage Regulations]. Don't worry, I will put everything back to its original place when I return."
Li Yu put his legs on the console and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
If it were someone else, Guixing might have sent troops to capture him by now.
But Li Yu’s current status already gives him the capital to argue.
Prince Connor on the screen turned red in the face and shouted angrily: "If the experimental equipment is damaged in the slightest, you will be brought to the Supreme Court!"
He hung up the phone in great anger. Li Yu was becoming more and more arrogant and even emptied the entire experimental base.
Li Yu didn't care about Prince Connor's anger. He turned to look at the hunter next to him and asked, "Has anyone come to make an offer?"
The hunter said helplessly: "There are many people who come to inquire, but no one offers a quote. If you hold a hard drive and say it is the coordinates of Gensokyo, no one will believe you."
That’s right, Li Yu is now selling the coordinates. There is more than one copy of this thing, and he doesn’t intend to keep it secret. He might as well take this opportunity to find a few suckers.
"Ramon, why do you believe it so firmly?" Li Yu asked casually.
"If Patton said yes, then he is..." Ramon's words left people speechless.
"..." Li Yu shook his head: "Forget it, it's better to take the initiative than to wait for the victim to come to you."
Li Yu searched through his address book, and soon he found a qualified victim - the reformer.
Since the last time they sent the people from Gust Laboratory to Guixing, the two sides have not had any contact.
They seemed to have forgotten the Crickley siblings, and this was a good opportunity to remind each other.
And the most important thing is that Anthony sent news some time ago that they found traces of the transformers in the Tanbul Hub, which made Li Yusheng a little suspicious.
Although there is no way to confirm that they are the force behind the hard drive, it is always a good idea to give it a try.
After the holographic image of the Reformer Elder, Husband, popped up, Li Yu got straight to the point: "...It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. Do you still want the Kreckley brothers and sisters? If you don't want them, I'll sell them as slaves."
Husband's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Of course we want it..."
Li Yu interrupted him and said casually: "The price has changed now. I want military-grade alloy, and a few trillion will do."
Hasband was even more speechless. He stared at Li Yu's back and asked, "Are you in the cabin, sir?"
"Yeah..." Li Yu said frankly, "With your information channels, how could you not know that I left the Central Galaxy?"
"We are not too concerned about Guixing..." Hasband shook his head. Li Yu obviously did not believe it, but he did not dwell on it and continued, "By the way, I have a key piece of information here. Do you want it?"
Husband was speechless at the speed at which Li Yu jumped to the next topic, and asked, "Can you tell me what news it is about?"
"Do you know... Gensokyo?" Li Yushen asked mysteriously.
In an instant, Hasband's expression became strange and inexplicable, not surprise, but another emotion.
This old guy didn't seem surprised, Li Yu muttered to himself. Because he had some doubts, Li Yu kept staring at his reaction.
And Husband continued: "Gensokyo, of course you know, the half-dimensional world, the mobile base that all forces dream of."
"I have its coordinate information here, do you want it?" Li Yu said with a smile.
"No..." Hasband shook his head decisively: "I don't believe you will sell me such precious information."
"Uh..." Li Yu's face froze for a moment, and he immediately lost interest. He waved his hand and said:
"Since you don't want to buy it, forget it. I'll go to the green-skinned orcs' lair and collect the bodies of the Krekrekri siblings later."
The corners of the hunter's mouth twitched. What kind of nonsense is this?
Hasband's face was full of black lines. He said, "Mr. Li Yu, I have a message for you. Please take good care of them."
"What news?" Li Yu became interested. Getting something for free always makes people happy.
"Something big is about to happen on Guixing, please be prepared."
Li Yu was slightly startled. Was it about Tigor? Even the reformers had received the news?
"What's the big deal?" Li Yu asked, but Husband shook his head: "That's all I can say."
The Riddler is at it again. Li Yu guessed that what the Reformer was talking about was most likely about Tigor.
"Then I will also give you a sentence." Li Yu's thoughts moved slightly, and he smiled and said, "The riddle person will not die well."
Husband: "..."
Since the victim refused to take the bait, Li Yu had no choice but to find the two siblings, Krekli.
They have been under house arrest and, although they wear restraints, are not allowed to access electronic devices.
But they never missed three meals a day, and during this period of time, the two of them even gained a lot of weight.
"It seems that the Reformers don't want you anymore, so I plan to sell you to the green-skinned orcs." Li Yu's words left Kerry stunned.
"What race are the green-skinned orcs?" Kerry was still a little confused and tugged at his sister's clothes.
"It has nothing to do with you..."
Kerry pursed his lips and whispered.
Her face flushed a little. The green-skinned orcs were not an interstellar race, but mimicry creatures from certain websites who enjoyed torturing females.
Li Yu said lazily, "Do you have any important information for me, such as the secrets of the Reformers? It's very difficult for me to deal with you eating like this all day long."
Li Yu was a little surprised by Hasband’s special reaction to Gensokyo just now, so he planned to let Kerry make use of his remaining energy.
"The tasks we deal with are just ordinary ones, and only the elders know the secrets," Kerry explained.
"Okay..." Li Yu thought for a while, then said, "I've thought of a way. I'm going to let you go."
Kerry's eyes widened slightly, but he did not feel happy. He continued to listen to what Li Yu said next.
"Then leave your brother behind and go back to the Transformers to be my spy. If you don't cooperate, I will turn your brother into a woman and sell him to the goblins."
So cruel!
Kerry was breathing rapidly. She had not had much dealings with Li Yu, but Li Yu did not seem like a good person. It was entirely possible that he could do such a thing.
Kerry's little face had turned pale and he was trembling and unable to speak. It was so scary.
"Okay, I promise you..." Kerry agreed without thinking too much. Being imprisoned here was a complete waste of time.
If I can get out, maybe I can find an opportunity to rescue Kerry.
Li Yu looked at Kerry and suddenly smiled and said, "Come here, I will help you strengthen your strength..."
Kerry looked at Li Yu's smile and suddenly had a bad feeling.
After dealing with Kree's affairs, the fleet is about to reach the Stuart civilization through the star gate.
At this moment, another thing attracted Li Yu's attention——
Avatar No. 3 has returned from Marvel!
