"I just thought of this suddenly. I forgot to tell you at the time, but I never thought of hiding it from you."
Li Shu said as he pulled Huo Wei towards Bai Bu, "If I really had this intention, I would never bring you here at this time."
Howie nodded, as if he understood the other party's explanation, and continued to ask, "So, what did you want?"
Li Shu did not answer this time, but let out a light breath, then quickly walked to the white cloth, reached out and lifted the large piece of white cloth in front of him, revealing the true appearance of the thing that had been there for several years.
There are many hot weapons here. Although their power is not too great, ordinary people can use them to protect themselves.
When Huo Wei saw this, he looked at Li Shu meaningfully, "Are you preparing for war?"
Li Shu knew he couldn't hide his thoughts from Huo Wei, and he never thought of hiding them from him. Hearing this, he nodded gently and replied, "This is just a helpless move on my part. I want to see how the conversation with the warden goes. If they agree to let Lido Planet go, then I'll take these things and leave. That way, I'll have some self-protection power in the universe."
"Of course, if the negotiations fail, then once a war breaks out with the Empire, these are our reserve materials and will be of some use to us."
Hearing this, Howie's expression softened, "You did a good job, you are very thoughtful."
Li Shu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the other person's praise. "Don't praise me. I know who I am. I'm not as smart as you think. I just want to solve the current problem in my own way."
Su Peiyao, who was standing by, curled her lips slightly when she heard this. "Hey, you two, shouldn't you say this kind of thing somewhere private? At least don't say it in front of me. I'm not interested in hearing your gossip."
"However..." Su Peiyao said this, suddenly ran to the front of the machine, looked up at him, "Mr. Li, the feud between you and the Empire has nothing to do with us pirates. After all, we will be evacuating from your planet soon. So, now I want to ask, how do you plan to return the plants you owe us?"
"I owe you money?" Li Shu frowned. "If I remember correctly, I've already given you the plants for today. There shouldn't be any such thing as owing you anything."
"You can't say that. What you lacked before was indeed supplied to us. I'm talking about the next fifty years now!"
Li Shu's face darkened upon hearing this. He was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, he heard Su Peiyao's clear voice, "I know the next fifty years haven't arrived yet, but don't forget, you're about to fight the Empire. If you lose and die, who will pay you back for the plants you owe us?"
From ancient times to the present, they have only seen one plant that can reduce the danger rate of star beasts, Li Shu. Now they have finally caught him and fleeced him. If he doesn't take any action, he would be a real idiot!
When Li Shu heard this, he was silent for a moment. He had never thought about this problem, but since he heard the other party raise this issue, Li Shu was ready to solve it.
Then, he silently calculated in his mind how many plants he would need to repay all the plants for the next fifty years.
He roughly calculated that at least 1.83 billion plants would be needed.
Li Shu felt dizzy when he heard this number. He looked up at Li Shu and said seriously, "I can't take all of this out at once."
"I know, I didn't expect you to be able to take out all these things at once."
"So how much time are you going to give me?"
Su Peiyao hesitated for a moment. She couldn't stay here for too long because the empire had already judged the planet Lido as a traitor, so they would definitely not change their decision.
But if I leave too early and can't get the plants in my hands, I'll feel like I'm at a great loss.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's wait until Jon comes back. When he comes back, we will leave immediately."
"During this period, you have been working hard to give me the plants that will grow. Now, I don't expect you to give me all the plants. At least you have to let me break even!"
Li Shu didn't expect Su Peiyao to be so easy to talk to. He nodded readily after hearing this and said, "Okay, I will do my best to help you grow plants during this period."
Su Peiyao was finally satisfied. He snorted and said, "You know what's good for you."
At this point, Su Peiyao glanced at the time and said, "Okay, now that we've finished our business, do you want to go to my place for a drink?"
Li Shu looked at Huo Wei, who nodded slightly, "Alright, let's take this opportunity to say goodbye properly. We'll see each other later."
Li Shu also responded with a smile, "Let's go."
Su Peiyao looked at the gay couple in front of her and couldn't help rolling her eyes. Then she led the way to her room.
The food on Su Peiyao's table was very rich. During this period, although Li Shu was rich, he didn't eat much because of the shortage of supplies on the planet. Now he finally found a place where he could eat well and have enough food, so of course he couldn't let it go.
Su Peiyao looked at the attitude of the rescuer while eating and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Hey, Mr. Li, you are a big shot at having the ability of supernatural plants. Can you eat less and be less down-to-earth? It looks like you haven't eaten anything good in eight hundred years."
Li Shu shrugged and said, "What's the big deal? I can't do anything that would make me feel wronged just for the sake of other people's opinions."
"Not bad!" Su Peiyao also liked the other person's personality. He clapped his hands with a smile, "Since we have the same attitude, let's go together!"
Li Shu was also in high spirits after being criticized, and raised his glass, "Cheers!"
Before they had finished the two pots of wine, there was a sudden explosion outside the door, shaking the whole room.
Li Shu and Huo Wei looked at each other with extremely serious eyes, then ran out of the room as fast as they could and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
The deputy who had just run to Su Peiyao frowned when he heard this and didn't want to answer Li Shu.
Seeing this, Su Peiyao's face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "It's already late. Don't act like a spoiled child. Tell me, what exactly happened in the distance?"
Adjutant Su Peiyao pursed his lips slightly when he heard Su Peiyao's order, and said in a deep voice, "Planet Lido seems to have been attacked by other forces."
When Li Shu heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened. Who would choose to attack them at this time? After thinking about it, Li Shu could only think of the imperial family!
