Abnormal crossing

Chapter 10 Let’s make a deal

Gu Wei's voice was not loud, but it was very clear in this quiet area.

Jin slowly folded her hands over her chest, and did not give an immediate answer. Instead, she cast her eyes on Gu Wei's slightly clenched left hand, with a slight smile on her lips:
"Gu Wei, you seem a little nervous? Are you worried that we will kill you directly after we decide you are worthless? Or are you afraid of being sliced and chopped to taste the salted egg?"

Gu Wei followed Jin's gaze to his left hand, and without trying to hide or deny it, he moved his fist in front of him and spread it out, then lightly stroked his palm with his right index finger.

Feeling the sweat stains on his fingertips, he sighed, "Ms. Jin, I'm just an ordinary person. The most amazing thing I've ever done in my life was asking Sergei where his ammunition was at the Zhuhai Air Show. So it's not strange that I would be nervous in such an occasion, right? - It would be a problem if I didn't feel nervous."

Gu Wei's tone was very calm. After all, he was now on an alien spaceship, and both parties were discussing a life-threatening topic. It would be strange if he didn't think too much about it.

Although Jin and Milo acted very relaxed when they met, and Gu Wei did have some good feelings towards them because of their actions, it would be too naive to believe or imagine that he was safe just based on this slight good feeling.

Before understanding the character of these two aliens, any situation could occur. Gu Wei even considered the worst-case scenario, and his peripheral vision had already locked onto a device with a large number of wires a few steps away.

If Jin and Milo really wanted to harm him, he would definitely not be able to escape. He estimated that the resistance time would be measured in seconds at most, but he would at least try his best to tear a few wires to make the two aliens lose some money - although the actual losses caused by this approach would most likely be so small that they could be ignored, and even look a bit ridiculous, but it would still be more meaningful than standing there and waiting to die.

The scene froze for a while.

"Alright, Jin," just as the atmosphere was getting tense, Milo's slow voice suddenly rang out from the side: "This unfortunate child is already pitiful enough, don't scare him anymore, what if he gets excited and has a cerebral hemorrhage? - Mee Mee is already telling you that his intracranial pressure is a little high."

Jin was just about to continue to scare Gu Wei, but after Mi Luo's interruption, she couldn't pretend anymore. She immediately rolled her eyes and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. It's just a cerebral hemorrhage. Can't I just use my salary to buy him a prosthetic brain? Anyway, there are still two left on the ship."

"Is this a question about replacing the brain?" Milo subconsciously said to the girl, but he frowned as he spoke: "Wait a minute, how come there are only two prosthetic brains left? Didn't I see seven when I counted the inventory some time ago?"

Jin shrugged expressionlessly, and nodded his chin towards a mechanical door. "Last month, you asked Kai to go out and buy materials. Li Zi was bored, so he took Mee Mee and Nono out for a boat ride. As a result, he accidentally crashed into the cockpit of a hapless guy and crushed five heads of a six-headed alien. He had to get a prosthetic brain from the warehouse to make amends."

"That guy is indeed a sports student. Only one of the six heads still has the nerve to argue with Li Zi. His speed of speech is as fast as a fully loaded close-in defense artillery. Li Zi, Mee Mee and Noonuo almost lost their household registration books together."

Gu Wei, who heard everything clearly through the translator, said: "???"

Even though the occasion was extremely serious, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a matter of life and death, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Milo was stunned by Jin's words for a long time, and his whole body looked like he was about to say something but couldn't.JPG. After he came to his senses, he glared at Jin fiercely, and then looked at Gu Wei again:
"Ahem. Gu Wei, ignore this lunatic, let's get back to the original topic."

Gu Wei nodded with a complicated expression.

Milo looked a little tired at this time, but he still forced himself to get into the state: "Gu Wei, to be honest, your experience is indeed very subtle."

"I'd praise your luck, because you didn't do anything and fell into a trap. But I'd say you're unlucky, because you didn't die and came to the star sea, and you met us."

"Although there are no saints with extremely high moral standards on my ship, we are not angry and bloodthirsty star pirates. I won't be so cruel as to kill you in a snap - of course, there is another reason. You really didn't cause any substantial damage to our operation."

Milo paused after speaking, giving Gu Wei some time to buffer, and glanced at the teleportation platform in the distance:

"But on the other hand, your appearance does have some aspects worth exploring. The specific principles are complicated to explain, but to put it simply, no matter what you experienced in that pit, theoretically it is impossible for it to intersect with this transmission."

"Besides, from your personal perspective, you have nowhere to go if you leave our ship now, right?"

Gu Wei glanced at Milo: "So what you mean is..."

"Why don't we make a deal?" Milo snapped his fingers and looked into Gu Wei's eyes. "We agree on a deadline - for example, half a universe year or a universe year. During this time, you stay on the ship and I will prepare an area for you to live in."

"You will have to cooperate with Jin to do some research - macro-level research, which may use a few drops of blood, hair or other liquids, but it will not involve biological modification, nor will it pose a threat to your life."

"This is the plan I proposed. You can also share your opinions." After Milo finished introducing the situation, Jin also added: "Believe me, Gu Wei, we have no ill will towards you. If you just got on the spaceship by mistake in a container or something, we can even let you go directly." "The reason why I want to study you is just because you appeared in an impossible occasion - this 'incident' violates my knowledge framework, that's all."

"After the agreement expires, I will find a planet suitable for you to live on based on your physical condition, and give you a sum of money - that sum may not be a lot, but it should be enough for you to find a safe place to live and cover your living expenses for the first few years. As for the rest of the time, you will have to rely on yourself."

Jin looked like she wanted to say more, but Gu Wei interrupted her before she could finish: "No problem, I agree."

Jin was slightly startled by the interruption, and for the first time, there was obvious surprise in her tone: "You agree so soon? You don't object?"

"To be honest, I definitely have some resistance," Gu Wei spread his hands towards Jin. His nervousness subsided a lot after being interrupted by Jin's words about the prosthetic brain:
"But I know one thing better. Although the current situation is pretty fucked up, I can blame God, blame myself, and even blame that inexplicable co-frequency signal. The only thing I can't blame is you - it's not you who kicked me into this pit."

"Since there is no causal relationship between us and my life is not going to be lost, then I can only accept reality."

Gu Wei did not hide his helplessness, but as he said, he could not blame anyone but these two foreigners.

To some extent, Jin and Milo are also victims, but their losses are not as great as Gu Wei's.

Then Gu Wei thought of something and looked at Jin again: "By the way, there is one thing I want to confirm again - is it possible for me to return to Earth?"

"." Jin and Gu Wei looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally shook their heads: "To be honest, I'm afraid it's difficult."

When introducing his origins, Gu Wei had given some information about the Earth and even the Milky Way. The celestial system described in the information was not within the known territory of the starry sky. It was unknown how much time and effort it would take just to determine its location.

To take a step back, even if the location of the Milky Way can be found, the cost of inter-galactic travel is not something that Gu Wei or Type II civilized life can afford - most Type II civilized life forms can only afford a ticket for an inter-star system trip even if they sell themselves like slaves.

No matter how kind-hearted Jin and Milo were, it was impossible for them to raise Gu Wei's salary to that level.

In fact, Gu Wei himself understood this truth. The reason he asked this question was more because he wanted a conclusion to dispel his fantasy, so after Jin gave the reply, he did not ask any more questions, but just exhaled a dull breath.

You say you are one of the best young people in the world, but how come you can't even find your home for unknown reasons?

What a fucking fuck.

Looking at Gu Wei who had fallen into silence, Milo shook his head with emotion, walked to Gu Wei, and patted his shoulder with his broad palm:

"Gu Wei, I personally sympathize with your situation, but judging from the current situation, the possibility of you returning to Earth is indeed very slim. I hope you can accept this reality as soon as possible. I will ask Mee Mee to prepare a contract for you to sign later."

"No matter what, life must go on. I will open some courses and materials to you in the future. You can use your spare time to learn some knowledge. If you can master some means of making a living, you will have a guarantee for the rest of your life."

"Although I can't be an upright adventurer like me, with flowers and wine paving the way for me when I come and fireworks when I leave, but..."

However, just as Milo was talking, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded in the control room.

At the same time, a bleating sound came from the ceiling:

"Captain, stop bragging. You've been caught stealing! Soldiers are chasing you!"

Milo's originally excited expression suddenly froze on his face: "."

Gu Wei: “.”

The atmosphere became visibly awkward.
