Ascended Warrior Arnes has left, and Doctor Lorelei has joined, leaving only the female hacker, engineer, navigator, and dinosaur-headed warrior.

God Valenti most wanted to dismantle the female hacker, whose role alone surpassed that of everyone else.

She wasn't in a hurry to persuade Yoon Seul-ri. She knew very well that the more people who betrayed her, the less pressure Yoon Seul-ri would feel to betray herself, and the greater the possibility of her betraying him.

"And you?" she asked softly, looking at the navigator, Dayi.

As celebrities, it's instinctive to use their charm.

Dayi looked at Li Changzhou with the three eyes on its three tentacles.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that the person sitting on the captain's throne was less domineering and arrogant, and more composed and aloof than before.

It's like... the difference between a warlord emperor and a lonely king.

But his brain still told him that Li Changzhou in front of him was his captain, and the two had been fighting in the universe for many years. He could even recall every move the other made when they first met.

“Are you really not my captain?” Day asked.

“No,” Li Changzhou replied.

"Where is the former captain?"

“I don’t know.” Li Changzhou stroked the beads on the armrest. “I opened my eyes and was on the flying car. Your captain may have been killed by the wanted criminal from that time using some means.”

Only then did Da Yi truly realize that the captain in front of him was not the same as before, but... his trust in the captain still shifted to Li Changzhou.

This is just an unintentional manifestation of the power of value games. After a player replaces a character, they will absolutely inherit the goodwill and hatred of those around them towards that character—which the player can then change through their personal charm.

Da Yi was caught in a dilemma.

Even though he knew the other party wasn't the captain, and with Si Si's infatuation pleading with him, he still couldn't shake the urge to help Li Changzhou.

"One last time," Dayi said, as if biting off his own tentacle. "I'll help you one last time."

This answer surprised Li Changzhou. Given Da Yi's infatuation with Si Si, he shouldn't have made this choice.

He thought about it for a moment and roughly guessed the principle behind it.

"Thank you," he said with a smile, "but it's alright. You helped me because of your friendship with the captain, which would make me owe you a favor, and I don't have time to repay it right now."

This time, before God Valenti could speak, he took the initiative to say to the remaining three:

"You too, we've only known each other for two days, you don't deserve my help one last time. Of course, if we have common interests, you're welcome to join us."

"Common interests? For example?" the hacker girl, who hadn't spoken until now, asked.

"For example... do you like war? Do you want to invade planets? Or do you have a high level of professional ethics and must complete the mission?"

"...Completely unappealing, thank you."

“Hey, you just said that ‘knowing it’s an evil mission, but still completing it’s the romance of a bounty hunter!’” Li Qianxia couldn’t help but interject.

The three-meter-tall waitress stared at Li Qianxia. Li Qianxia... raised her hand as if to shield herself from the sun, blocking the other party's condescending gaze—this was a cosmic version of burying one's head in the sand.

“That’s a negotiation tactic.” Yin Seli glanced at Li Qianxia.

"So, what you just said about 'utterly unattractive' is also a technique?" Yaochi asked with a smile.

Yoon Seul-ri thought for a moment and said, "I guess so. Does anyone have a bigger bargaining chip? Whoever can persuade me, I'll listen to them."

"Lily—"

"Shut up!" Incere glared at Arnes. "If you want to talk to me, let me examine your brain first. Are you willing?"

Arnes flashed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, then said, "Is this the time to talk about this? Hurry up and get the money, let's get on the flying machine and leave together!"

"We're done. You can leave on your own." Yin Seli ignored him and looked at Li Changzhou and Si.

Arnes glared at Li Changzhou, then turned and left the bridge, heading towards the airlock of the aircraft.

Yin Se-ri glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, then looked away without lingering.

She supported her right hand with her left, her slender index finger playing with her bright silver short hair: "I think I'm quite useful, think it over before you bid."

Li Changzhou chuckled twice, clasped his hands together, and said, "Extraordinary. The first time we met, I knew you were extraordinary when I saw that murderous face behind your spacesuit visor!"

"By the way, whoever you are, you have to compensate me for my flying car—do you players just disappear once the mission is over? You have to pay me back right now, and give me two boxes of the stuff I just gave Lorelei."

Two boxes? You might as well give her your life.

Li Changzhou pretended not to hear.

"If you want us to name a price, you have to tell us what you like," Si asked.

"I'm a superficial woman; I like luxury goods." Yoon Se-ri played with her short hair without the slightest embarrassment.

"I'll give you 150 million Divine Coins. You can buy whatever you want." God Valenti... is probably a wealthy old man.

"Are things that can be bought with money considered luxury goods?" Miss Zhao (Yaochi) has the right to say on this.

Her words caused Yoon Seul-ri, who had been somewhat tempted, to calm down again, like water that was about to boil being doused with cold water.

“You’re all players, right?” Yin Seli stopped playing with her hair, her mind clearing. “Give me something good that only players have.”

God Valenti and Li Changzhou both fell silent.

A pleasant chuckle rang out in the bridge, and everyone looked toward the center of the universe (Yang Qinglan).

"What are you laughing at?" the three-meter-tall waitress questioned her.

Yang Qinglan lightly covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes looking at Li Changzhou: "I just feel that you can really encounter anything in the value game missions, and players can actually be... extorted by ordinary people."
