Chapter 166: The Passerby Who Died in a Pirate Raid in the Interstellar Novel (Part 3)
"Hey, when did you stop lying, you heartless bastard?"
"Yeah, yeah, you still consider yourself a conscientious businessman?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Jiang Yue got up and left without saying a word. She turned her back to him, gave him two middle fingers, ignored the laughter and curses of the other people in the store, and went out with her tattered backpack.
Jiang Yue's original body was born on a desolate star, and she wasn't much better off than this person. She knew exactly how to deal with this kind of person.
After leaving the recycling shop, she went to a nearby repair shop. When she went in, an old man was busy repairing something on the workbench. When the young man saw Jiang Yue come in, he asked her, "Hello, what do you need repaired?"
Jiang Yue took off the personal computer she had been wearing on her wrist and handed it to him: "It must have been broken in the fall, it won't turn on." The young man took it and looked at it: "Wow, this was quite a fall. Let me check what the problem is."
The young man said something and then sat down to take it apart. In no time, he found the problem: "This is because part X inside is broken. The cost of replacing the part and repairing it will be 5800 credits. Do you want it repaired?"
The price is 50% higher than elsewhere. Jiang Yue took out the quantum computer she had picked up from her pocket and handed it to him: "Take a look at this. Are the parts on it good? Can you replace them?"
The young man took it and quickly opened it. After inspecting it, he said, "It's good. In that case, 2000 will do."
Jiang Yue handed over the white card, and the young man took it, swiped it for 2000 yuan, and returned the card to Jiang Yue. It was a minor problem; he could have fixed it without that obviously skilled repairman. He fixed it in no time, and after handing it back to Jiang Yue, he didn't even say "Welcome to visit again next time." It didn't matter whether he said it or not; there was only one repair shop around here, and there was nowhere else to go.
Jiang Yue took the computer, deposited the money from the white card, and checked into the only hotel in the area. With police robots patrolling, security should be guaranteed. The first thing she did after booking a room was to take a shower. Showers were charged separately and not included in the room rate. She only turned on the computer after showering and eating.
The first person to contact Jiang Yue after opening the quantum computer was not her parents, but the God of Justice, the interstellar mainframe. After verifying Jiang Yue's bloodline and spiritual power, the God of Justice confirmed that she was indeed herself: "Respected Ms. Jiang Yue, an eight-star citizen, it is truly gratifying that you are safe and sound. I have contacted the nearest fleet to pick you up and take you home. Before that, I hope you can tell me about your experience."
Jiang Yue didn't hide anything and recounted everything that had happened since her accident. The God of Justice recorded everything and judged whether Jiang Yue was lying. After all, the spaceship was gone, and everyone who was still alive was a suspect. After passing the God of Justice, there was still the Enforcer to deal with. Only after passing both of these tests could she proceed. However, the intensity of the Enforcer's interrogation depended on the God of Justice's judgment.
If the God of Justice determines there's no problem, then there's a high probability there's no problem. If the God of Justice detects a problem, the interrogators will definitely intensify their efforts. Jiang Yue wasn't lying; the God of Justice didn't find any problems, and the system even marked her as safe.
After the God of Justice finished recording, he left. Only after the God of Justice left did Jiang Yue have time to check her personal computer. There was a lot of information inside, including messages from classmates and friends, but most of them were from her parents and younger brother. Jiang Yue saw that they had tried to contact her just an hour ago.
Jiang Yue selected her mother from the contacts and called back. The call was answered in less than ten seconds, showing Jiang Yue's mother's pale face and red eyes. Jiang Yue smiled at her mother, but tears streamed down her face as she smiled. Her mother, like Jiang Yue, covered her mouth and cried uncontrollably. Jiang Yue's father, like her mother, was too happy to speak.
After things calmed down, Jiang's parents asked Jiang Yue why she hadn't contacted them yet. Jiang Yue explained what had happened to her family: "That's how it is. We just found some people today and then fixed the computer. Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Haha, it's alright, it's good that you're alright. You scared your mom to death these past two months, she cried every day, look at her eyes, they're all swollen from crying."
Jiang's mother glared at Jiang's father, annoyed: "You're something else. You don't cry during the day, but you secretly cry at night, and your crying even wakes me up."
Upon hearing this, Father Jiang's dark face turned slightly red, and he quickly changed the subject: "Yue'er, where are you now, and when will you be back?"
"I am currently on planet Biling 020201, which is quite far from my home. The God of Justice has already contacted me and said that he has arranged for a spaceship passing by to pick me up in three days. I estimate that I will be able to return in more than a month."
"I see. Is it safe over there? What's the situation on that planet?"
"It's alright. This is a garbage planet. There's no war or Zerg here. Apart from the lack of resources, it's still quite safe."
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were relieved. They had also gone to the garbage planet to collect garbage, so they knew the situation there quite well. Jiang Yue and her mother chatted until night. Her mother only let her go to sleep when she saw that Jiang Yue was sleepy. The personal terminal was still on. Jiang Yue knew that her mother was worried, so she let her watch over it. She snuggled in the quilt and fell asleep. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while.
The next day, after getting up and having breakfast, the spaceship company contacted her. It seemed they had also learned that Jiang Yue had survived. Jiang Yue tidied herself up, changed into her rag-picking gear, and then rolled around in the garbage heap before connecting to the personal terminal. The person in charge on the other end knew that this was going to be difficult when he saw Jiang Yue like this. After all, who would dress like this after two days? The idea of using credits to get rid of Jiang Yue was also abandoned.
After the call connected, neither of them spoke. The person in charge on the other end twitched his eye, forced a smile, and said to Jiang Yue, "Hello, Ms. Jiang Yue, first of all, congratulations on still being alive..."
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes. "Can't you even speak properly? You're not even as good as that AI, the God of Justice." "Yeah, it's just that the spaceship was hijacked and the escort ship just ran away."
"After all, how can we poor people let the adults on the frigate risk their lives to protect us? Don't you think so?"
What Jiang Yue said was true. Spaceships are always escorted by frigates, but when the pirates came, the frigates ran away. Although Jiang Yue knew that she had been bribed by the Fifth Princess, it didn't stop her from using it to demand compensation, since the original owner of this body was really dead.
The person in charge turned green after hearing Jiang Yue's explanation and hurriedly retorted, "Where did it run off to? The escort ship just turned around and launched an attack from the rear. It's just that the pirates were too fast and didn't have time. Don't make things up without evidence!"
