Chapter 270 Are you willing?
"Ahem, the place where we discuss the mission." Li Zixi laughed dryly.
"Yes, look at the next mission location." Tengchong added hurriedly.
It's really embarrassing. Although they have no intention of coveting it, it's still uncomfortable when the real owner suddenly comes to their door.
"Really?" Qian Zedong glanced at them suspiciously. "Why do I feel like you're choosing a planet?"
The Xiangyang Mercenary Group had reached the required level to apply for a base, but hadn't taken any action yet. Perhaps they had other plans. Opportunities abounded, and purchasing a planet was only a matter of time.
Qian Zedong felt relieved when he thought of this.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere froze again.
Qian Zezhong looked at them with amusement, "Which planet are you discussing? Do you need our help to give you some advice?"
...You know exactly what this is about! Is it fun to be so funny?
Xie Yu has always been thick-skinned, and said shamelessly, "Well, after looking around, I think Falling Star is suitable everywhere."
"Oh?" Qian Zedong raised his eyebrows and stretched out his voice, "You want the falling stars?"
After a deliberate pause, everyone immediately sat up straight, extremely nervous.
"No problem!" Qian Zedong said these three words heavily, shocking everyone instantly.
No problem? What does "no problem" mean? It's not what I thought, is it? The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. Why did Wu Qian suddenly give up the Falling Star?
Could it be... They didn't want to start a conspiracy theory, but it was really weird.
Wu Qian has been operating in Zhuixing for many years, and it is hard to believe that he would just give up like that. It is unlikely that he is impressed by their abilities.
This is so funny!
Yun Xiang was the first to come back to his senses. "Uncle Dong, Xie Yu was joking with you. We do plan to purchase a planet, and we're still selecting one."
Qian Zedong raised his eyebrows, "Do you look down on the falling star?"
"..." Yun Xiang hurriedly shook her head. How could she dare to do that?
Seeing this, Qian Zezhong said, "I think Falling Star is good enough, no need to choose."
We think it's pretty good, but it's not something we can expect. Is it intentional?
Qian Zedong was even more straightforward, "If you want to buy it, buy it now!"
Everyone was suddenly in disarray.
Seeing that Uncle Dong and the others didn't seem to be joking, Xie Yu glanced at Zeng Li and the others. Zeng Li understood and immediately stood up, shouting for everyone to go to the trading market for a stroll.
Only Yun Xiang, Xie Yu and Dong Shu were left in the room.
"Why?" Xie Yu's question was full of meaning. Why didn't he buy it himself? Why did he let them buy it? Or why did he let Yun Xiang buy it?
Qian Zedong didn't answer immediately, but stood up and said, "Let's go."
Yun Xiang and Xie Yu exchanged a glance and followed him. Unexpectedly, they went straight to the spaceship parking area.
Knowing that he was going out, Xie Yu sent a message to Zeng Li, asking him to arrange the mission temporarily.
Their current destination was Lianjiao Star. More specifically, the territory of the Lianjiao Star Angry Toothfish.
I don’t know what Uncle Dong and the others did, but the toothfish didn’t attack anyone.
Then, Uncle Qian skillfully climbed up the rock wall and took pictures of a few protruding rocks. Suddenly, a section of the rock wall in the lake moved down.
The lake water, carrying the toothy fish with it, flowed out of the gap. After about half an hour, the water at the bottom of the lake had completely drained away, revealing the flat rocky bottom.
Yun Xiang and Xie Yu followed Uncle Dong and others to the bottom of the lake. They saw Uncle Dong find the mechanism at the bottom of the lake and turn it on. A hole that could only accommodate one person suddenly appeared.
Uncle Dong made no secret of his presence, clearly treating them as his own. The two of them didn't want to be alienated from them, so they followed him in without hesitation.
Going down the ladder, we found a very large storage room. The supplies inside were piled up like mountains, which was quite spectacular.
Especially the mountains of mines and crystal cores, which almost blinded Yun Xiang. Then he was filled with envy, uncontrollable envy.
Yun Xiang thought he'd done well, at least not harboring any desire to keep the item for himself. Putting aside whether he had the ability to do so, even harboring such thoughts was not being honest.
Apart from being surprised, Xie Yu had only one idea, which was to build such a storage room for Yun Xiang as well.
After the two men returned to normal, Uncle Qian said, "Everything I've accumulated over the years is here." Perhaps he could see their confusion, "I have to sell some to consolidate my position."
Otherwise, the falling star would have become someone else's.
The two of them understood what he meant instantly, and Yun Xiang couldn't help but ask, "Then why don't you buy it?" There would be no trouble if you bought it.
"We had a chance, it only took two days, but who knew something unexpected would happen." Uncle Qian was a little depressed. Whenever he thought of that dark past, he always felt uneasy.
"Bian Qin's betrayal?"
"Well, your grandfather wanted to give her a planet, so naturally they would be apart for a long time, and then the surprise turned into a sudden change." Qian Zezhong said with indescribable sarcasm.
"If she knew..." Yun Xiang was not sure whether Bian Qin would make the same choice after getting the planet, but given her personality, she would probably still not be satisfied.
Qian Zedong saw it at a glance and said, "You already have the answer in your heart."
Yun Xiang sighed silently.
"We are where we are today, all thanks to your grandfather. These are all your grandfather's. Your grandfather loved you the most, so you will inherit them."
Yun Xiang was stunned by his words. He waved his hands and spoke incoherently, "This... No, no... Uh-huh, no..."
How could she have the nerve to accept this? The hard-earned money of the five-cent servants over the years, how could she take it? Grandpa is grandpa, and she is her, absolutely not!
"Just take it if we tell you to! We're not giving it to you for nothing. Manage the Falling Star and make it a refuge for all ordinary people, whether they're just born here or suffer from injuries.
This was your grandpa's lifelong wish, but it never came true. Your grandpa didn't want you to carry a heavy burden, he just wanted you to live your own life.
But you have come this far. Whether it is the Cangkong Star incident or the Weiyang Star accident, you may not feel it, but you have won the love of more people, and everyone has more expectations of you.
Even the people came to you, and you took on the responsibility smoothly. Youyou, you chose a path that your grandfather least wanted you to take, but he would be proud of you.
These materials are not the keys to wealth for you, but shackles that bind you to millions of people on the Falling Star, and perhaps even more in the future. So, are you willing to be bound?"
Are you willing to be tied up? Yun Xiang didn't know how to answer. Her journey had seemed like her own choices, but in reality, the outcome had already been predetermined, so she just let things take their own course.
Now, it is finally her turn to make a choice, so is she willing?
Grandfather's wish, countless people's prayers, the heavy responsibility on her shoulders... She suddenly remembered a sentence from her past life:
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
Although she wasn't that great, she also wanted to help more people when she was able. Isn't that why Uncle Dong and the others had been guarding the Falling Star?
The reason why I didn’t buy the falling star was probably due to my personality.
Yun Xiang kept thinking, and Xie Yu remained silent. She should figure out this choice by herself.
No matter what she chooses, he will be with her.
