It is said that the person who brought their spiritual energy and soul to claim the bounty was a freelance assassin who called himself "King".
Although the leader who died this time was only the fourth in command, and Su Xiaoxiao's bounty in the Interstellar Alliance was only eight million gold coins, she was the first leader of the Black Yama Pirate Gang to be successfully killed.
Does this mean that the fate of this pirate crew is about to undergo a major change?
And who is this "King"? A freelance assassin who wiped out an entire squad of the Black Yama Pirate Crew. I heard that he got a bounty of 16 million, and several of the dead were on the Interstellar Alliance's death list.
As soon as Chu Nian entered the team's canteen, he heard many Space Marines of varying ranks discussing this big news.
Chu Nian calmly took her portion of food, sat down next to her teammates, and ate quietly, keeping her achievements hidden.
"Niannian, you were the last one to leave that desolate planet that day. You really didn't see the assassin 'King'?" Teammate Xiao Liu asked, unwilling to give up.
Chu Nian said helplessly, "Oh dear, how many times have you asked? I already told you, I fainted at the time, and when I woke up, I didn't see anything except the last remaining spaceship."
I remember there were three spaceships parked on that desolate planet. You said you took advantage of the chaos to sail away with one. When I woke up, I only saw the Yanxing, and the other one was probably taken away by that 'King'.
Cheng Min, standing to the side, said with obvious envy, "Niannian, you're so lucky! You brought back a spaceship all by yourself. In our team, whoever gets the spoils keeps them. You got a spaceship on your first mission, your net worth has instantly skyrocketed to a million!"
Xiao Liu: "Didn't we bring one back too?"
Cheng Min: "How can it be the same if we, a dozen or so people, share one boat, and Niannian has one boat all by herself?"
Most of these team members come from ordinary families. They can earn a high income by joining the Galaxy Team, but they can only be considered middle class. They don't really need spaceships. The team usually buys them back at the market price and will never treat these team members who work hard in outer space every day unfairly.
If it weren't for the news from the Skynet team that they had brought back a spaceship, Chu Nian would never have told anyone about it.
Honestly, just one spaceship has already caused an uproar in the Fifth Patrol Team. If these team members knew that there were thirty mechs on board, I wonder what they would do?
In fact, there was another spaceship belonging to the Black Yama Pirate Gang in Chu Nian's Ruins—the Wangchuan Ship. It was the spaceship that Su Xiaoxiao herself rode in. Its equipment was much better than the other two spaceships, and it also housed several warships and more than a dozen well-equipped mechs.
Chu Nian felt it was better to be safe than sorry, as she might need it someday, so she stored it away in the Ruins of Souls. She had no intention of handing over the Forgotten River; let everyone think it had been taken by the assassin "King"!
A relatively handsome patrol squad leader walked over, placed a steak in front of Chu Nian, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Ling Ren, the captain of the seventh patrol squad. This steak is for you."
The Galaxy Team's warriors come from all corners of the world, so the food provided here is also quite varied.
After years of research and development, human food has not degenerated as depicted in many space novels; on the contrary, cooking techniques and raw materials are far more refined than in the past. Special planets have long since separated within the Milky Way galaxy for cultivating grains, vegetables, and raising livestock.
For space warriors like them, who are always facing life-or-death crises in interstellar battles, the food provided by the Milky Way is the best.
Chu Nian ordered Chinese food, and this time there was no steak in her meal. But she also knew what it meant when someone gave her steak; as the saying goes, "There's no such thing as a free lunch."
She said, "Thank you, but I'm almost full, so I won't take the steak." Then she got up and left with her plate.
Ling Ren felt a little lost watching her leave.
Cheng Min smiled and said, "Captain Ling, I'm still not full. Please give me this steak!"
Ling Ren quickly picked up the steak and turned to leave.
Xiao Liu chuckled and said, "Cheng Min, don't you think about it? Niannian's background is different now, and she's even made an appearance with the captain of the Skynet team and the captain of our Galaxy team. This promotion might just come her way. Can you compare to her?"
Cheng Min said, "You said it yourself, Niannian's wealth is not what it used to be, and she has more opportunities, so how could she possibly be interested in a mere patrol team leader?"
Ling Ren, who hadn't gone far, clenched his hand holding the tray tightly when he heard this, but when he sat back down next to his teammates, his expression was normal, and there was nothing unusual about it.
One of his teammates comforted him, saying, "Captain, don't be discouraged. Wang Nian's qualities are what they are, and we've heard before that she's a proud and arrogant person. It won't be easy for her to win you over."
Another team member whispered, "Hey, how come she's so lucky? She fell into the hands of the Black Yama Pirate Gang, and not only did nothing wrong, she even made a pirate ship."
The third member said, "If you ask me, the entire Fifth Patrol Team just got incredibly lucky."
"That's right, otherwise how could they have been rescued by the appearance of the Assassin King? If I were the Assassin King, I wouldn't have been able to get the entire pirate ship away so quickly, nor would I have let them leave!"
"Yes, a well-equipped spaceship is worth millions of gold coins, a price comparable to a barren planet."
...
As the saying goes, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."
Chu Nian returned in a spaceship all by herself. To outsiders, it seemed like she was lucky to have found it. Some were envious, some were puzzled, and naturally, some were jealous and resentful.
Chu Nian had just stepped out of the cafeteria when several women blocked her way. Judging from their military uniforms, they were probably members of the Galaxy Team's guard unit.
The Galactic Force is divided into two parts: the Patrol Team and the Guard Team. The Patrol Team is responsible for patrolling the outer space around the Milky Way and is responsible for the most basic security work within the Milky Way's space territory.
The Guardians are the true guardians of the galaxy's safety. They carry out the most dangerous missions, from within the galaxy to throughout interstellar space.
Their status and salary were naturally much higher than those of the patrol team.
Most of the patrol team members were rookies who had only been in the galaxy for less than two years, and many in the guard team looked down on such rookies.
"You're Wang Nian?" The group of female team members surrounding Chu Nian, led by a blonde woman, questioned Chu Nian with her chin raised.
Chu Nian answered calmly, "Yes."
