Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 2: Plans are ready
While Liu Wen was trembling with fear, the blue fat man successfully brought him back to his warm home safely. If they hadn't experienced an extreme sport due to engine failure on the way, and if this home hadn't been built on a garbage recycling station, everything would have been fine.

"Huh!" After getting off the car and taking a deep breath, Liu Wen looked around the blue fat man's cozy little nest.

The garbage station is located on the third underground floor of a residential building. Due to limited space, there is not much garbage, only a few garbage mountains, and the storage area is completely filled with strange metal parts.

"How did you settle down here?" Liu Wen asked curiously.

It's not surprising that the place where Fat Blue lives is so shabby, but metal garbage is also wealth. It is usually occupied by some small pirate groups or subordinate forces kept by large pirate groups. It is impossible for Fat Blue to live there.

"What are you thinking about? I'm just working here." The blue fat man shook his belly and said speechlessly.

"Let's go. Although it's a bit messy here, there are a lot of good things. Although the wages here are pitifully low, you can still make a lot of money by repairing some machinery and equipment and selling them to the lower-level blocks." The blue fat man seemed quite proud when he said this. After all, not everyone who comes out of the infant and child care center can master a skill.

The Infant and Child Cultivation Center does have a whole training chain that can reach the level of Blue River Empire Middle School. Various skills and knowledge can also be learned, but there is no practical experience. However, the prerequisite is that those in charge are willing to let you learn.

The learning process in the interstellar age is very simple. Each skill and knowledge is directly instilled with psychic energy, and then you just need to digest and absorb it through practice.

But that is a normal human country. Here is Paradise Island. The places for indoctrination have long been sold by the person in charge of the Infant and Child Training Institute. There is no psychic indoctrination to quickly acquire knowledge. You either have to study slowly on your own with textbooks, or load a biological auxiliary chip or something like that. If you don't have either of these, I'm sorry, but not being an illiterate is already very good to you.

The blue fat man's mechanical knowledge was truly self-taught bit by bit, which was why Liu Wen was terrified when he heard that the blue fat man assembled the hover car by himself. Without a teacher to teach him, he relied on the mechanical knowledge stored up for who knows how many years, so it was not surprising what he learned.

Walking into the hut built with various metal wastes, the space inside was much wider than Liu Hai had imagined. It seemed that part of the house was buried by the garbage dump.

The house was simple, with a bed, a few processing machines that were pieced together from nowhere, and all kinds of mechanical parts scattered all over the floor and walls, reflecting the cold light under the shadowless lamp.

"Old Liu, please sit down. I'll show you something nice. I dug this out from the garbage dump with great difficulty." The blue fat man walked to a workbench with a mysterious look on his face, and struggled to turn the auxiliary motor under the workbench.

Ten seconds later, a tightly wrapped storage chip appeared in the palm of the blue fat man's hand. He then watched him take out a micro optical computer from somewhere and plug in the chip.

Looking at the blueprint projected by the optical computer, Liu Wen was stunned for a while: "Is this the design blueprint of the exoskeleton armor?"

"Yes!" Fat Blue looked at the blueprint of the exoskeleton armor divided into tens of thousands of parts and explained, "I have checked this model. It is the first generation model designed by the Winged Pirates. Although it was designed more than 300 years ago, for us, having a set of design drawings is enough to look forward to the future."

Liu Wen nodded in approval. In this interstellar age, possessing enough knowledge could bring wealth and the ability to protect wealth. Correspondingly, the cost of acquiring advanced knowledge was naturally very high, and each step was enough to bring tears to one's eyes.

There are no restrictions on basic knowledge, but it is unrealistic to want to make a fortune in this interstellar age with only the basic knowledge of the inner earth civilization stage.

The blue fat man enlarged the drawing, and a drawing of a magnetic storm rifle that was compatible with the exoskeleton armor appeared.

"This is what I meant when I said to prepare a magnetic storm rifle for each of us. The principle is not complicated, and the materials are plentiful. Although the quality is a little worse, it is just a little worse. It can still kill people, and it has a considerable deterrent effect on low-level psychics."

Liu Wen nodded. After all, it was a supporting weapon for the exoskeleton armor, and its lethality was considerable.

"Can you make it?" Liu Wen really doubted that the blue fat man's self-taught mechanical knowledge could be used to create such a sophisticated firearm.

"Just wait." The blue fat man put the computer on the table, turned around and ran to a pile of metal parts and started planing.

With a clang, a thick bag was picked up by the blue fat man, who placed it on the table with great effort and opened it.

Liu Wen took a closer look, then looked at the still glimmering projection of the blueprint: "Are you ready?"

"It's still a little short. We can't get the energy source." The blue fat man said regretfully: "The original energy source of the magnetic storm rifle is to use energy blocks or link exoskeleton armor, but we don't have these."

"Energy blocks can be purchased with some money, but we don't have a micro-extraction and conversion device, so we can't use them even if we buy them."

Liu Wen watched as the blue fat man quickly assembled a magnetic storm rifle with only an electromagnetic coil and a magazine. It had no energy system, no aiming system, and no magnetized alloy warhead.

He frowned and asked, "How are you going to solve the energy problem? Get a high-energy battery as an external power source?"

"Yes, this is the only way at the moment. This is a garbage disposal plant. We don't have high-end energy servos, but there are still many batteries in various abandoned machines. It won't be a problem to collect them and combine them to make two high-energy batteries." The blue fat man rubbed his hands and said.

Liu Wen nodded. It was fine as long as they could use it. The only problem was that both of them were still ordinary people. Their genes had only been basically optimized during breeding to allow them to adapt to slightly harsh environments, but there was no bonus to their physical strength.

If you want to use a magnetic rifle while carrying a large battery, the physical strength required is not low.

Thinking of this, Liu Wen thought that it would be great if he could awaken his psychic power. Even if it was just awakened, the body cells that were flushed by psychic power would be much stronger than they are now.

"Give me the information. I'll go investigate the target and find the channel dealer. You should get the job done as soon as possible." Liu Wen thought for a while and said to the blue fat man.

"Okay, but you have to change your clothes first. Also, I have to repair the hovercraft first. The engine suddenly failed before. I guess there is a problem with the energy supply system again." The blue fat man turned around and threw a personal terminal of unknown use to Liu Wen, then picked up the toolbox next to him and went to repair the hovercraft while muttering.

Liu Wenzhe sat on the bed and began to check the information. He saw the sun set in the west and the virtual curtain of Paradise Island released bright moonlight.

"Here." The blue fat man threw a tube of strawberry-flavored nutritional paste to Liu Wen, turned around and picked up his stuff and went into the garbage mountain, and began to collect some of the remaining battery materials.

Liu Wen read for several hours and finally finished reading all the relevant information.

Paradise Island has a total of fifteen divisions, and the five middle divisions are where the pirate groups sell their stolen goods, ranging from slaves to spaceships.

Banks from several surrounding human countries have branches here. Of course, there are no banks in the open, only the money houses on Paradise Island. Any funds entering these houses will lose 30% of their value, and there are not so many rules for their use. There is only one transaction method used on Paradise Island, bearer cash bonds. If you are a citizen of a human country, you can take them to any bank in exchange for credit points of your country.

Getting back to the topic, the fifteen districts outside Paradise Island are service areas, with all kinds of dens of money-spending. As long as it is prohibited by the surrounding human kingdoms, you can find it here. As long as you have money, you can live a life here that even the powerful people in the human kingdom cannot live.

Paradise Island is the place where interstellar pirates from several surrounding human kingdoms sell stolen goods. There are more than 300 pirate groups with branches located here. Many small and medium-sized pirate groups even focus on providing support to the service industry here.

People who come to Paradise Island for various reasons, or simply local nurtured people like Liu Wen, the rich live in the upper outer area, while the poor live in the lower area, and the dividing line is the hovercraft channel.

In addition to the ground part, Paradise Island also has an underground part. This part is composed of some people who are not liked even by the interstellar pirates of Paradise Island. Chaos is the norm there, but it is not entirely true to say that they are powerful, because the so-called underground part is the widening of the underground pipes in the urban area.

The creatures living in the dungeon are those that cannot survive on the surface. They usually become sacrifices during a hunt or goods when a customer wants to enjoy a bloody kill.

Liu Wen's target, the Vulture Pirates, was considered the second echelon on Paradise Island before the incident. They had two Meteor II destroyers produced by Blue River Empire Star Heavy Industries, fifteen pirate gunboats of various models, and a living space station with the ability to repair warships.

There are 130 shops on Paradise Island, including 30 in the five central areas and 100 in the outer areas.

Liu Wen's target was not these shops, which were cash cows, and it was not their turn for people who didn't even have a pirate group to spy on them. His target was only the shops opened by the middle-level cadres in the Vulture Pirates. After checking the information, Liu Wen set his sights on a shop that sold nutritional cream.

Nutrient paste is a necessity for the lower creatures and has always been in the hands of these pirate groups. There are only three stores in each block selling these necessities. Therefore, although the price of nutritional paste is very cheap, only two credit points per tube.

But the daily turnover is not low, estimated to be around one or two thousand. According to the usual settlement once a week, the store must have at least more than five thousand bearer credit bonds.

The Vulture Pirates are a pirate group composed of Angolan creatures, who can barely be considered a humanoid race, but human civilization has never recognized the Angolans as a humanoid race, because this race is inherently cruel and murderous, and chaos is their nature.

Today, the Angolan people are just a race wandering in the starry sky. Their main job is to act as interstellar pirates and rob houses. They basically leave no one alive during the robbery. Therefore, Liu Wen felt no guilt at all for robbing their shops.

After saying hello to the blue fat man, he changed his clothes and drove the hovercraft out of the garbage disposal plant. Since the hovercraft had no navigation equipment, Liu Wen could only rely on his personal terminal to determine the direction.

After finding the target store block with his personal terminal, Liu Wen parked the hovercraft on the upper parking platform, took the elevator to the ground, and walked straight towards the target.

Although it was night on Paradise Island, there were still a lot of people on the streets, and all kinds of strange creatures were still rushing around for tomorrow's nutritional paste.

Liu Wen looked at the various neon lights on the street, coupled with various metal brackets, which gave it a cyberpunk feel. The only thing missing was that prosthetic transformation was not popular here, mainly because there was no money.

I looked at the target store, but there was no name on it. There was only a sign with "Nutrient Paste" hanging alone at the door, swaying in the wind. The store was sealed tightly, with only one door open and people coming in and out constantly.

I pushed open the door and walked in, and saw a high platform divided by an alloy railing, leaving only a small window for delivering goods.

Behind the platform is a shelf filled with various nutritional pastes.

"It seems that it is impossible to rob from the main gate. It seems that we have to see where their back door is." Liu Wen just took a glance and found that there was no passage for people to enter or exit from the front, so he turned and left.

After walking around the building and searching underground for a while, Liu Wen easily found the target.

There was no way. The other party was too conspicuous. Other houses had ordinary alloy security doors, but theirs was high-end. It was not quite right to say it was high-end. It was just a piece of high-energy alloy that was welded into the size of a door and then installed. The door had to be opened from the inside.

After confirming through the store location that this was indeed the back door, Liu Wen did not stay any longer. He took two photos and immediately prepared to go back and discuss with Fat Blue how to open this thing.

I went back to the garbage dump and told the blue guy about it. I gave him the photo. After just one look, the blue guy pouted and said, "It's easy. I have a laser cutter on my workbench. Although the power is not high, it can still open a door easily."

After getting the guarantee from Fat Blue, Liu Wen drove the hovercraft again to look for channel dealers.

Pirate gunboats are usually converted from shuttles. The better ones have a curvature navigation of more than ten times, and the better ones are converted from small transport ships. They have high-multiple curvature navigation and short-range space jump capabilities, but the distance is usually no more than five light years.

These pirate gunboats can only threaten ordinary transport ships. Anyone with a little bit of capability can install two laser cannons and blow up the gunboat on the spot.

Therefore, pirate gunboats generally cooperate with frigate-class battleships or even destroyer-class battleships, and only take control of the situation after the battleships have destroyed or forced the target's engine to stop. Therefore, the price of this thing can be said to vary greatly.

The best one can be sold for millions of credit points, and the worst one can be bought for hundreds of thousands. It is only slightly more expensive than buying a shuttle normally. The expensive part is the weapon.

Liu Wen followed the flow of traffic to the edge of the outer area. There was an endless roundabout building, which was used to park shuttles, small transport ships, etc. The entire roundabout building was thousands of meters high, and its length just surrounded the entire Paradise Island. The virtual sky of Paradise Island started from here.

After finding a parking space and parking the car, Liu Wen walked into the roundabout and looked at the projection sign. The outermost area was the parking area, and the innermost area was the trading area for bulk transactions.

All goods entering the island will be delivered here, and how they are sold on the island has nothing to do with the suppliers.

"Handsome boy, would you like to see the new slave?"

"This is a drone from the Shangxia Republic, produced by Mojia Heavy Industry. Would you like one, boss? Hey, boss, would you like a shuttle?"

"Don't miss it if you pass by. The Second World Landing Helmet and Advanced Landing Pod are on clearance sale."

……

Liu Wen stared at the Second World promotional video for a long time, shook his head and left: "Now is not the time, let's solve the funding problem first."

After searching for a while, Liu Wen finally found his target on the third floor. However, looking at the owner who was sitting in the store and playing games with his head shaking, he wanted to change to another store. Unfortunately, he only had one channel provided by the blue fat man.

"Dongdong, Jilong people, here comes the business."

The Jilong man, who looked like a four-legged lizard that walked upright, turned his head to look at Liu Wen, then turned back to play the game: "There is a list of items behind the shelf. Let me know when you have made your choice."

Liu Wen looked at the shelf that served as a screen, then looked at the Jilong people, and walked in.

When I walked in, I saw a clean space of more than ten square meters, with only a table, a stool and a turned-on fixed optical computer.

Liu Wen didn't have to look for them himself, the projected images showed the various aircraft and weapons and equipment for sale.

After a quick look, the tallest ship was a frigate-class battleship produced by the Bald Eagle Federation, marked as being refurbished four times. Most of them were pirate gunboats converted from various shuttles and small cargo ships.

"I definitely don't want the cheapest one. Without a warship to carry it, it can't even fly out of the star system."

"After picking and choosing, I found a gunboat converted from a small cargo spaceship that looks okay. However, the Jilong people are famous for their cunningness, and I don't know how much of the data is true." Liu Wen's mind was racing, and he obviously only believed 70% of the displayed data.

"Angora, 50 meters long, 30 meters wide, 18 meters high, equipped with a heavy fusion reactor, output power of 3 degrees per second, 40% sub-light speed flight capability, 30 times curvature engine, 5.6 light-year jump distance per jump, two 30-degree laser cannons, and one 50-degree phase particle cannon."

"Small interception force field, small particle tractor beam, but the price is a bit high, up to three million Blue River Empire credits."

Liu Wen also selected two substitutes that were impossible to make, and planned to use the substitutes to make up the difference if there was not enough money at that time.

After choosing, I found the Jilong people and asked, "When can I pick up the goods?"

"Sure, we'll pay you and deliver you the goods, no cheating." The Jilong man replied without turning his head.

"Okay, come again tomorrow." Liu Wen turned and left.

At this time, Ji Longren turned around and glanced at Liu Wen. He looked at the receding figure with interest and muttered, "This human boy who just came out of the breeding center, is he planning to make a fortune on Paradise Island?"
