Ye Qingyun: "..."
The burly man winked at him knowingly.
Ye Qingyun: "...No need, thank you."
Ye Qingyun, with a blank expression, asked the chef to scoop out two free dishes for him. The chef looked at him, chuckled, and scooped out a little of each of the dishes for him.
"Ignore him, I'll treat you to a meal." The chef smiled confidently.
Ye Qingyun: "...Thank you."
The food had already been loaded and couldn't be returned, so Ye Qingyun had no choice but to say to the chef, "I'll return it to you when I earn contribution points in the future."
The chef waved to Ye Qingyun nonchalantly and ladled him another bowl of soup.
When Ye Qingyun turned around with his lunch, he saw many people looking at him, patting the chair next to them and inviting him to sit down.
Ye Qingyun: "..." As expected of a bold and unrestrained space pirate, he's too enthusiastic.
If it were according to Ye Qingyun's usual habits, he would definitely sit next to the person who seemed easier to talk to, and take the opportunity to get some information about what happened on the space pirate ship.
But he's currently a cannon fodder who's completely devoted to the scumbag, ignoring all the advances of others. Of course, he can't do that; he has to fit the character.
Every table was occupied, so there was no way to sit alone; one had to share a table with others. Ye Qingyun looked around and spotted a young man.
The young man looked quite handsome. He kept his head down and ate his meal without glancing at him once, seemingly disdainful of him.
You're the one, comrade.
Ye Qingyun sat down opposite the young man. The young man was clearly taken aback, looked up at Ye Qingyun, and frowned deeply.
The young man glanced at Ye Qingyun only once before lowering his head to continue eating, seemingly not wanting to say a word to her.
Ye Qingyun, of course, couldn't speak up and silently ate her meal. However, the others were too enthusiastic and kept bringing them drinks. Ye Qingyun's refusal was useless, and the table was soon piled high with drinks.
The young man, unable to bear it any longer, slammed his hand on the table: "Have you all had enough? When will this end?"
The others weren't afraid of him: "What, jealous? Want one too?"
"I'm not jealous at all," the young man sneered, glancing at Ye Qingyun. "He doesn't even have any contribution points, what's there to be jealous of?"
They're all in the same boat, everyone knows who's who. Someone immediately chimed in, "You're just jealous that she got together with the boss. You've liked the boss for so long, but he's never been interested in you." The person paused and sighed, "That's the difference in looks."
Ye Qingyun: "..."
Is this still his 'love rival'?
The young man's face turned ugly the moment he was exposed. He yelled at the talkative man, "Shut up!"
After saying that, the young man glared at Ye Qingyun again and said sarcastically, "What are you looking at? No matter what, I got on the ship on my own merit. What about you?" The young man stared at Ye Qingyun's face and said contemptuously, "You only have a pretty face. You're just a vase."
Ye Qingyun lowered her eyes.
He had heard the word "vase" countless times; it was arguably the phrase he disliked hearing the most.
Therefore, he also knew that the best way to deal with such people was to defeat them in their familiar territory, so that they would never dare to look down on him again.
"What skills do you have?" Ye Qingyun asked.
"Me?" The young man sneered. "I can hack into the target's terminal, confirm their location, and then our pirate crew can go and meet them."
The young man's face showed an arrogant expression, and his eyes looked at Ye Qingyun with increasing disdain: "I am not the same as you guys who rely on your looks. I am a core technical staff member, and Pu Tian would not dare to be harsh on me easily."
After listening to the young man's explanation, Ye Qingyun said calmly, "Oh, location tracking? I learned that when I was five."
These words immediately made everyone burst into laughter.
"My beauty, don't spout such nonsense. Do you think it's as simple as one plus one equals two?"
"Even though you're good-looking, if you compare yourself to him and get humiliated, there's nothing I can do to help you."
The youth's confidence in the crowd made him even more smug. He said to Ye Qingyun, "Since you can do it too, do you dare to compete with me? If you lose, you can get off the boat."
This was exactly what Ye Qingyun wanted, so he agreed and added, "If you lose... I want all your contribution points."
The young man seemed completely unfazed by the possibility of losing and readily agreed.
The method of comparison is simple: have a crew member anonymously post a thread on the space pirate forum, and whoever finds out who posted it first wins.
The onlookers, having quietly chosen someone to post the message, nodded to Ye Qingyun and the young man: "Alright."
Ye Qingyun opened the terminal on his wrist and heard the young man mocking him, "It's not too late to surrender now, otherwise you'll lose face when you can't find it later, and don't blame me for not warning you."
Ye Qingyun remained silent, her fingertips flying across the terminal screen.
He rarely boasts and always tells the truth. Locating a person is easy for him. The reason he was able to successfully write a letter to the scumbag protagonist according to the plot of the book was because he hacked into the scumbag protagonist's terminal.
He can easily find even the most rudimentary attackers, let alone a crew member whose terminal isn't that advanced.
The space pirates watching from a short distance were chatting loudly: "Hey, I think there's no suspense anymore. Why is this beauty so desperate?"
"What was the fastest location tracking speed before? An hour?"
"That's assuming things go smoothly. Our terminals were upgraded a while ago, and I think this time it won't take a single day to come down."
"Let's call it a day after we finish eating."
Seven minutes later, Ye Qingyun raised her eyes and looked straight at a bearded space pirate.
The young man was still searching desperately opposite him, while the other space pirates were still chatting. The space pirate being looked at by Ye Qingyun was startled and said gruffly, "What are you doing?"
“Lu Jia,” Ye Qingyun said slowly, “it’s the post you made, titled ‘A List of the Idiots I’ve Met Over the Years’.”
Before he finished speaking, the noisy restaurant fell silent instantly. The space pirates who had been talking and laughing loudly seemed frozen in place, staring at Ye Qingyun as if they had seen a ghost.
The person who posted the message was indeed Lu Jia, but it took less than ten minutes?
Their first reaction was that Ye Qingyun had just randomly picked someone, and it was just luck that she happened to pick the person who posted the message.
But he even revealed the post's title...
Who exactly is this person?
And is the boss crazy? Shouldn't a technician of this level be pampered with 10,000 contribution points a month?
The young man who was fighting Ye Qingyun turned pale, then sneered, "You know there's no hope, so you just made up an answer?"
"Stop talking nonsense, ask them yourself if you're right." Ye Qingyun tapped the table with his index finger. "All your contribution points will be transferred to my account, Ye Qingyun's account, not a single penny less." Ye Qingyun thought for a moment, then smiled slightly: "If I see you still have contribution points when I come to eat tomorrow, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, Ye Qingyun stood up, gave the young man a cold look, turned around and strode out.
————
Back in her room, Ye Qingyun closed the door, lay down on the bed, and quickly turned on the terminal on her wrist.
He had only eaten a few bites of food before rushing back because, while searching for the poster, he discovered that the signal on the pirate ship was connected to an underground forum he had never heard of before.
He accidentally clicked on it and saw his own name on the bounty section!
Among the people with bounties on their heads in the bounty section were many wealthy and powerful figures that Ye Qingyun had heard of. Being listed alongside these people, Ye Qingyun couldn't help but feel a faint sense of pride.
He's really amazing!
Ye Qingyun indulged in his narcissism for a while, then clicked on the bounty post and began to read its contents.
The bounty post was published more than a month ago, and when he opened it, he was even more shocked.
The person who posted that message actually offered 100,000 Star Coins to catch him!
Keep in mind that 10,000 Star Coins is enough for a family of three to live comfortably for a year, and 100,000 Star Coins is definitely a considerable sum of money.
The poster's tone was indifferent: "After catching the person, send me a private message with the transaction location. Money on delivery, goods on exchange."
Ye Qingyun took a deep breath and continued reading. He found that the previous comments all said they had never heard of him. It wasn't until later, when someone specifically looked him up and came back to explain who he was, that everyone realized who he was.
However, he kept a low profile and no one had ever seen him, so no one could provide any information.
Finally, someone suggested: "I heard from a rumor that Ye Qingyun is interested in Pu Tian, the captain of the Silver Radiance Pirates? Why don't you destroy the Silver Radiance Pirates, capture Pu Tian, and wait for Ye Qingyun to come to you?"
The original poster replied to this comment: "DM me your account number. If it's truly useful, I'll transfer the money."
Ye Qingyun: "...?"
It seems he's discovered something incredible.
