Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

The armor was captured by a signal a few minutes ago. If nothing unexpected happens, it might be the person in front of him, or the organization that the person in front of him belongs to.

It doesn't seem difficult to guess what the other party's purpose is.

Because there are only a few purposes for capturing a weapon.

Research and engage in war.

Grammer was destroyed, and she was the only one left in the Iron Cavalry. She didn't know what to do, but she didn't want to be an unnecessary weapon anymore.

The mecha moved the next second. She had no intention of hurting anyone, but she also didn't want to be captured.

In such a situation, she could only choose to knock down the person in front of her.

Zhu Qing looked at the attacking iron fist and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before he could say anything, the other party started attacking.

No, at least give people a chance to speak, right?

He hasn't negotiated with anyone for such a long time, has he degenerated to this point?

Although he was thinking about it in his mind, Zhu Qing's hands did not slow down at all.

He raised his arm and wrapped it around the outside of the mecha's arm, then pushed outward to avoid the incoming punch.

The mecha started up again, and the whistling iron fist attacked again.

Zhu Qing had no choice but to dodge while talking. He suddenly lowered himself, used his elbow to push away the fist of the mecha, slid to the side of the mecha, kicked the fuselage, and took the opportunity to fly out.

"How about we talk about it first and then discuss the actual action?"

The mecha paused for a moment, and the mechanical sound sounded again.

"There seems to be no need to discuss between us."

"There's no harm in talking about it, and delaying it only increases the risk. But if we can reach an agreement, we won't have to resort to war."

Zhu Qing then fell to the ground, his wide cloak torn, revealing the long sword at his waist.

"If I had intended to strike, I would have used the knife the first time. This should prove that I had no ill intentions, right?"

The Molten Mech hesitated for a moment, but finally extinguished the flames.

"What you said makes some sense. So what do you want to talk about?"

So easy to talk to?

Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pointed to his side.

"Kafka, it's settled. Now that little firefly is ready to negotiate terms. I hope the offer you make is tempting enough."

Zhu Qing's voice did not subside, and the mecha opposite tilted its head in a very humane way.

The girl in the mecha seemed a little confused.

Little firefly, are you talking about her?

Two minutes later, Zhu Qing stopped communicating with Kafka and looked at the mecha.

The spaceship will not come this way for the time being. Zhu Qing's fighting power has already put pressure on the girl. If the spaceship is driven over again, it may cause resistance from the other party.

He is the only one who can come to this negotiation.

Kafka trusted him very much because he used to work in the strategic investment department.

Negotiation had always been his strong point.

Zhu Qing looked at the other party.

"Do you want to understand the meaning of life?"

"Uh?"

The mechanical voice expressed a very human doubt.

"Their organization is called the Star Core Hunters. The leader of this organization has the ability to predict the future. He said that you are destined to have an intersection with the Star Core Hunters, so... they want to invite you to join."

"What can I get?"

“The chance to live and find meaning in life.”

This is what Kafka relayed.

The mecha seemed even more hesitant, and she paused for more than ten seconds before replying.

"Then what do I need to pay?"

"Complete the script assigned by Elio. There are no other restrictions."

"I was once a weapon and took too many orders."

The girl shook her head. She didn't want to live because of orders anymore.

"If you don't want to join, I'll reply?"

The mech tilted its head.

"Won't you try again?"

Zhu Qing laughed.

"Choice is everyone's right. If you don't want to, no one can force you."

He paused.

"At least not here."

The girl seemed stunned. After a while, she spoke in a dull voice, "Do I... have the right to choose too?"

"Of course, if someone denies it, as long as you're not doing evil, you can seek my help no matter where in the world you are."

"Why......"

The girl wanted to ask why he helped her so much.

"No particular reason."

Zhu Qing smiled and said, if you must give a reason.

Because he is a sea patrol ranger.

If the nameless guests are a group of nosy people.

Then these sea patrol rangers are mainly doing something unhelpful - meddling in other people's business.

Under the camera of the mecha, the girl looked at the smiling man, and she suddenly wanted to change her mind.

"Sorry, can I take back what I just said?"

The mecha caught fire, and the next second, a gentle female voice sounded.

"I'll join."

The flames gradually disappeared, and colorful lines appeared on the girl's neck and face. The next second, a large cloak covered her head, hiding her entire body.

"At least here, we're not used to being honest with each other."

Is that how the word is used?

......

Chapter 6: Fireflies

"Childcare is also an additional fee."

Zhu Qing leaned against the door and looked at Kafka who was sitting inside.

As early as an hour ago, Zhu Qing had persuaded the little firefly and brought her to the spaceship.

Perhaps because the first person she saw when she opened her eyes and the one who negotiated with her was Zhu Qing, she was still a little wary of the other two people.

This isn't something worth mentioning, but that's where the problem lies.

This Grammer Iron Knight...she has no common sense.

In her own words, she has spent her entire life fighting the Zerg for Grammer and knows nothing else besides fighting.

Even if she wanted to understand, the constant war would force her to rush to the battlefield until her death.

So now, she can communicate with others normally.

The rest? She had no idea.

Kafka smiled and said, "Of course, you name the price."

With Elio around, the Star Core Hunters may lack everything, but they don't lack money.

Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem for the Star Core Hunter.

"..."

"Taking care of children is really not my strong point."

"Take care of her until the mission is over, okay? You can see she's still wary of us."

"The quickest way to disarm someone is to have someone familiar in the middle."

Kafka folded her legs and closed the book in her hand.

"If money doesn't move you, you can try to propose some other conditions to Elio."

It's not free, but it's pretty close to free.

The easier it is to obtain, the more likely it is to have traps.

The free ones are often the most expensive.

You can't play with people who can predict the future.

Zhu Qing shook his head.

"Just transfer the money directly."

Kafka didn't force anything, but just smiled and nodded at Zhuqing.

Her voice was as gentle as ever, but I couldn't hear the real feeling in it.

"Then trouble you."

Elio's script gave two options: one was that the other party agreed directly, and the other was the scene in front of him.

There is still a long way to go, so there is no need to rush.

Zhu Qing turned around and the heavy iron door opened automatically.

Kafka had already prepared a room for the little firefly.

The girl should have finished her shower by now.

He kept looking around on the way, but couldn't see where the star was.

This little raccoon obviously doesn't care much about the mission.

If Zhu Qing were to say, it was because of the lack of rewards.

Just give it 200 credit points and this little raccoon will run faster than anyone else.

"Dong dong dong."

Walking to the door, Zhuqing knocked on it.

Soon, the person inside opened the door.

The girl poked her head out and looked at Zhu Qing with some curiosity.

"Have you changed your clothes?"

Most people wouldn't ask this question, but this little firefly might not.

"I've changed it, but compared to Sam's special combat uniform, it's a little... not so close-fitting?"
