Chapter 1044 Equivalent Exchange
Not to mention how happy Zhang Qin and the others were to get the food, the three Qiaos had mixed feelings.
Jordan Will looked at the pile of plants in front of her, then at the fish and shrimp that Zhang Qin had just put down, "Are you helping them detoxify?"
"Um."
Jian Yan nodded and said, "It's not for nothing. They got something in exchange."
exchange?
The three of them were full of questions, but they also knew the principle of not talking about deep things with people they had just met, so they didn't ask too many questions, but chatted with her while eating fish.
"Black Star has so many districts, why did you come to District 7?"
"I heard it's safe here, so I came here."
"Then you must have been deceived. Black Star is not a safe place for anyone over the age of fifteen."
"I know."
He said briefly, "But compared to other districts, District 7 has an armed central system. I'm attracted by District 7's armed forces."
The information revealed in just two sentences was not small. She had a way to know the situation in District 7, and later went straight to District 7. She also confessed her ability to seek their protection when they first met. This meticulous mind and bold decision-making made her a useful talent.
Jordan Will's eyes flashed, and he asked some more questions. Jian Yan continued to answer fluently. As for whether it was true or false, the three of them couldn't tell. Anyway, they didn't find any trace of fabrication.
The three of them didn't think about getting to the bottom of the matter. Unless they were desperate, they wouldn't run to a place like Black Star.
For those of them who live on Black Star and may not know their future, it doesn't matter whether their companions have secrets or not; what matters is that they can make a profit.
In a word, her cooking skills were enough for them to accept her.
Jordan Will raised his eyebrows, losing the serious and cultured atmosphere of the previous second. Instead, he looked at Jian Yan and said in a deep voice, "Although your words are watertight and without any flaws, Black Star is far away from the Desolate Star, and there is no way to verify it."
"We don't want to cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. If you want to join our team and seek our protection, you need to be self-aware. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jian Yan glanced at her and said calmly, "I think you need to recognize one fact. I am not your subordinate, and you have no right to say such things to me.
Self-awareness?"
She snorted, without any emotion, and said, "I don't need to be self-aware. I just know that our relationship is mutually beneficial."
"I use my skills to feed you, and you have to protect my safety. This is an equal exchange."
"Also, I have to make it clear that the reason I'm willing to cooperate with you isn't because I'm incapable of protecting myself, but because I'm afraid of trouble."
Jordan Will smiled. "You don't look like you're afraid of trouble. On the contrary, I think you're deep-minded, bold, and fearless. You're unwilling to hide your weaknesses and instead display your strength and ability everywhere, risking a falling out with me without restraint."
If you really just want to take advantage of the situation to find shelter, your current actions are completely unnecessary."
The slender fingers tapped his knees, the handsome red-haired young man tilted his head slightly, his narrow fox eyes stained with frost, and he said -
"You want to use food and your strength as a stepping stone to make us work for you. Am I right?"
Upon hearing the sound, the two Qiaos immediately drew out the particle guns from their waists and aimed at Jian Yan.
Jian Yan ignored the two men's weapons unmoved, but she began to miss her man in her heart. She hummed with a half-smile, "Yes, I do have this idea. You know, it's not easy to live under someone else's roof."
