Chapter 155: Friends hope that this gift will make our friendship last forever.
Bai didn't want to discuss those extravagant and licentious male insects. He didn't answer Murphy's seemingly gossipy but actually probing questions. Instead, he asked, "General Murphy, don't you want to know the answer to your third question?"
"Oh, right? You haven't told me how you knew the bandit leader would confess today." Seeing that Bai didn't want to talk any more, Murphy didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject. "Brother Bai, just call me Brother Murphy. Look, Nan Qi calls me Brother, doesn't he? You should follow suit."
Murphy made a face while saying this. He had a rough appearance, bronze skin, and a very wild air.
When he's serious, he looks like a ghost from a movie or TV show, extremely difficult to approach. But when he laughs, his features come alive, giving him a chivalrous air that's believable.
But now...
Bai blinked, realizing for the first time that too many expressions weren't necessarily a good thing. When Murphy made those quirks, he looked approachable, though he looked like a gorilla gone mad after eating too many toadstools, his features flailing wildly, unbearable to watch.
Fortunately, he had practiced the Bai Ren technique to perfection, so he didn't spray the sugar water he had just drunk onto Murphy's face.
Bai put down the sugar water with a lingering fear and cleared his throat. "I didn't know the bandit leader would definitely confess today. Brother Murphy is a smart man. Since he promised me, he will definitely cooperate with me. I'm not worried about this at all."
"Let's take a step back and say that if the bandit leader doesn't explain, today's meeting won't take place. Brother Murphy will naturally come to me with any questions he has, and it won't be too late to explain then. But..."
"Just what?" Murphy asked at the right time.
Bai smiled faintly, "It's just that I was lucky. The bandit leader confessed on the first day, saving me the trouble."
"Oh, is that so?" Murphy didn't get cocky after being flattered by Bai. He rubbed his chin and said, "I think you're being modest, Brother Bai. Most interstellar pirates come together for profit, not necessarily out of loyalty. Plus, they commit major crimes, so getting caught is almost certainly punishable by death."
"Without loyalty and righteousness, I'll be killed if caught. If I were a thief, I'd confess immediately to avoid physical pain."
Bai: "Brother Murphy sees things clearly."
"Don't be ridiculous. You're the one who sees things clearly." Murphy glanced at Bai with regret. He tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Can't you change your nationality?"
white:"…………"
There is no need to be so eager to recruit talented people.
Perhaps it was because Bai Wuyu's expression was too obvious, or perhaps it was because he remembered his promise not to bring it up again, Murphy coughed twice and changed the subject: "Um, Brother Bai, what do you think about the cooperation between the three major thieves? I always feel that things are not that simple."
"The largest of the three factions is just the Beast Stealers Group, made up of Star Beasts that even the miscellaneous bandit groups wouldn't accept. Furthermore, the other faction is made up entirely of you Zerg. I remember the Star Beasts and you Zerg were at war with each other, but now they can mingle so freely. Is this what we often say, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend?'"
Murphy glanced at Bai and saw that he looked serious. He suddenly wanted to tease him and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you Zerg are so generous. You can even cooperate with your mortal enemies."
Interstellar thieves are mainly divided into three types according to their race.
1. A group of space pirates composed of Zerg.
2. A group of beast thieves composed of star beasts.
3. Various mixed-race or mixed-race bandit groups.
In addition to these three major categories, there are also some small categories, such as the bandit groups established by the human race, the rock race, etc.
Because of their small number and insignificance, most of them were eventually swallowed up by the above three major forces, eventually forming the third largest force, the miscellaneous thieves group, in addition to the beast thieves group composed of star beasts and the star thieves group composed of Zerg.
All races can join the miscellaneous pirate group except for star beasts. It is even more impossible for the star pirate group to have any connection with the beast-stealing group composed of star beasts.
Therefore, it is possible for the miscellaneous pirate groups and the star pirates to unite, but if the thieves are mixed in, the situation will be delicate.
Bai also felt that it was unlikely that space pirates and beast thieves would mix together, but nothing in the world is absolute. Without sufficient information, one cannot jump to conclusions, but one should still have a rough idea in mind.
Bai: "I understand what Brother Murphy means. I will pay more attention to this aspect and see if there is any opportunity to take advantage of it."
It is a taboo for the two armies to be at odds with each other. The Zerg and the Star Beasts are mortal enemies. If they can be used to their advantage, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"I understand. It's nice to talk to a smart teammate." Murphy smiled brightly, leaned back on the pillow, and stretched out his legs comfortably. "Oh, the more I drink this sugar water, the hungrier I get."
Bai Waner smiled and thought Murphy was quite cute. It was no wonder that Nan Qi had a good impression of the human race.
"Brother Murphy, wait a moment. I'll go see how Nan Qi is preparing." Bai said as he stood up and walked towards the small kitchen.
Murphy, who was made even hungrier by the aroma emanating from the small kitchen, waved his hand: "Go, go, it smells so good, I think I can eat the whole plate in a while."
As he said this, he touched his rumbling stomach seriously to confirm that what he said was true.
Bai nodded, took a few steps to the "door" of the small kitchen, moved the screen to a position where one person could pass through, and walked in quickly.
Bai didn't move the screen back. The smell of food was no longer blocked and he ran out happily. Bai was well taken care of by Nan Qi, so he didn't think anything of it. But it was hard for Murphy, who had been taking nutritional supplements for more than a month.
He looked at the two figures that couldn't fit in between them even with a gap, smacked his lips, and suddenly felt his head light up.
"Let it shine." Murphy lowered his head and patted his rumbling stomach, muttering to himself, "It's all so that you don't get wronged!"
Murphy's voice was so quiet that the couple in the small kitchen separated by a screen naturally didn't hear it.
As soon as Bai entered the small kitchen, he "stuck" to Nan Qi and reached out to take the vegetables that Nan Qi was about to wash: "Let me do it."
Nan Qi decisively let go. Cooking together would help enhance the relationship between husband and wife. Besides, Bai was a very polite person. He could leave Murphy, a guest, out. He must have something to say to her.
Putting the freshly cooked rapeseed and mushrooms aside to warm, Nan Qi put the meat slices into the wok. With a sizzling sound, the aroma echoed along with Nan Qi's deep voice, hidden in the crackling sound of the wok:
"Is there something urgent?"
"Nothing." Bai was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I just didn't expect the space pirates and beast thieves to actually cooperate. Brother Murphy said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm not unaware of that, but..."
"I just feel that they have lost even the most basic bottom line, right?" Nan Qi shook the pot and put the previously fried dried chilies into it, and a special spicy smell burst out.
Bai couldn't help but sneeze, his voice muffled, "Yes, and no. I was just wondering, aren't they afraid? Actually, the Star Beasts are our Zerg's natural enemies. Before the Zerg evolved strong bodies and mental strength, they were their primary prey."
"Even if the Zerg can now compete with the Star Beasts, and the Star Beasts no longer need to consume Zerg bodies to survive, the hatred, vigilance, and even fear etched in their bones are not so easily erased, even if they are brutal by nature."
"Since you have doubts, then carefully verify them. I will figure it out with you. Don't worry." Nan Qi put the freshly fried rapeseed mushrooms and pepper fried pork in Bai's hands, "Now, take the dishes out first. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid the people outside will stretch their necks like goose necks."
Bai reflexively looked towards Murphy, and his eyes met with Murphy's as he stretched his neck to look over here.
Bai was stunned by the unreserved desire for food in Murphy's eyes, and then he was amazed at Murphy's honesty, and said with a smile on his lips: "I agree with what you said now."
"What?" Nan Qi, who was serving the steamed egg custard, asked without turning his head.
"It's just the cute and cunning words of the human race." Bai threw down these words and walked out with the dishes, saying as he walked, "Brother Murphy is waiting anxiously."
"No, no, it's good enough as long as I can have a free meal."
Nan Qi pursed his lips as Murphy laughed in response. He seemed to sense a hint of jealousy in Bai's words.
After thinking about it, Nan Qi changed the last dish of the day into shredded pork with fish flavor. The refreshing smell of vinegar rose up. Nan Qi quickly cooked the dish in a very good mood and left the kitchen with the steamed rice.
"Let's eat!" Nan Qi's voice was filled with laughter, sounding much gentler, and with the smell of vinegar that had not yet dissipated, it was full of the flavor of home.
Bai took the tray from Nan Qi and placed the dishes one by one on the coffee table they used as a dining table. He also poured three glasses of juice before starting to eat.
Murphy was already hungry, and he didn't pretend to eat little. He picked up his chopsticks very quickly, which made Nan Qi and Bai, who were not very hungry, eat a lot.
There were four dishes, not many, but the portions were large, plus a pot of rice, and they were all eaten up by the three of them.
After the meal, Murphy comfortably drank a sip of hot tea and sighed comfortably: "This is the life of a human being! Brother Bai, you are so lucky to have found such a unique male insect like Nan Qi!"
"Well, I'm very lucky." Bai lowered his head and drank the milk tea with milk and sugar. He was not used to drinking tea, so Nan Qi made this drink with tea flavor.
Nan Qi never does things perfunctorily regarding himself, and he is indeed lucky.
"Alright, you've eaten and drunk enough, I won't bother you two any more." Murphy stood up and said goodbye. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at the two bugs. "I won't eat or drink for free either. I'll give you two a gift you'll definitely like. I trust your character, and I hope this gift will keep our friendship alive."
"I will." Bai stretched out his hand and shook hands with Murphy.
Nan Qi also patted Murphy on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Murphy, as long as we love peace, we will always be friends. In the future bandit suppression work, please take good care of my Bai. I cook every day, so you can come and eat when you are not busy."
Murphy was happy: "Okay, that's all you need to say. Don't see me off. I'm going home now. I think there will be more arguments tomorrow. It's a headache. I need to go back and recharge my energy."
Although it has been decided today to fight against the bandit alliance and everyone has pledged their allegiance, there is still no specific plan for how and when to fight.
It's true that they are now cooperating to suppress bandits, but after all, they are different countries, and for the sake of their own national interests, these things still need to be negotiated. Not to mention Murphy's headache, Bai Yi also felt a headache when he thought about this.
After seeing Murphy off, Nan Qi and Bai took a shower and lay down on the not-so-wide bed, ready to go to sleep.
At this moment, the Star Brain that Bai placed on the bedside suddenly flashed, and it was very conspicuous in the room with the lights off.
