Chu Jungui looked at Xino, and Xino was also looking at him.
After a moment of stalemate, Chu Jungui spoke first, "Should I call you Mr. Louis 194?"
Xino hurriedly said: "No, just call me Xino."
"It seems that your status in the family is really not very good, but..."
Xino directly interrupted Chu Jungui, "The truth is exactly the opposite. My status in the family is quite high now! In my generation, I am the first to be promoted to major general, and I am already expected to be promoted to lieutenant general. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty In this war, I also made many meritorious deeds, of course, before I met you."
Chu Jungui ignored Xino, chatted with Jane for a while, and roughly figured out what was going on.
The real reason why Sino was so generous before and directly threw out four light cruiser main guns as bets was that they were not actually his personal property, nor the property of the Louis family. A pure starship fleet costs hundreds of millions, and even a wealthy family like Louis cannot afford a complete fleet. The federal first-level fleets are all under the name of the government, and the private military fleets can only be second-level fleets at most.
Xino is commanding the federal fleet, so these are considered the property of the federation, but they are only temporarily under his command. Even if you use it as a bet and lose, it doesn't matter. The worst thing you can do is go back and report the battle damage, and your personal achievements will be affected a little.
This Sino was able to work all the way up to the rank of rear admiral in the federal fleet, which is quite a bit of real ability, and it was not all due to the help of his family. Besides, judging by his serial number, I guess the family's core resources have nothing to do with him.
The ransom is different. Sino himself couldn't afford so much money. According to Jane, this guy had no savings at all and all his wealth was spent on painting fighter planes. Therefore, this ransom must be applied to the elders of this branch of the family. To put it bluntly, it means asking your parents. If his parents couldn't afford it and needed to apply for support from the family, then this would be a big deal and would definitely affect Xino's status as the family heir. You must know that Sino's status was not very high at first, but later he joined the starship fleet and showed his talent in one fell swoop, and then he rose steadily. If the momentum of promotion was interrupted at this stage, it would probably be worse than killing him.
After chatting with Jian, Chu Jungui understood: "Actually, what you mean is that instead of losing your future because of paying an exorbitant ransom, you would rather be ripped off by me here, right?"
"Yes!" Jane always said simply.
Chu Jungui turned to look at Xino and asked, "You think so too?"
Xino opened his mouth, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although I don't want to admit it, losing your future and becoming nothing again would be worse than killing me. So, what Jane means is what I mean."
"Okay!" Chu Jungui was very straightforward, stretched out his hand to carry Xino over, and said, "Then let's tear up the vote."
"Wait, don't, don't move there!" Sino panicked for a moment.
"Wait!" Jane sent another message, finally looking a little anxious: "This 1.5 million is the limit we can afford. In fact, I also put 100,000 in it."
Chu Jungui replied calmly: "How much you can take is your business, and how much I want is my business. This is a battlefield, not a charity."
Xino shouted: "Jane! Think of a solution quickly, this guy is serious!"
At this time, Chu Jungui said: "Is this light cruiser a fleet asset?"
Xino immediately understood what Chu Jungui meant, and said with a wry smile: "Starships all have information recording systems. If I just leave it like this, I will probably go to jail for the rest of my life. You'd better just kill me." .”
Chu Jungui said: "I don't want to complete the ship, but I think the fighter's power is a bit insufficient, so I need one main engine and two attitude engines."
While Xino was still hesitating, Jane agreed very happily: "This is no problem."
Xino was startled and asked, "Is it really okay?"
"Your losses are big enough this time. A few more engines won't make things worse."
This plan also satisfied Chu Jungui, so Chu Jungui watched the high-orbit starship undergo several minor explosions, and then threw out several engines.
Li Ruobai immediately drove the spaceship over to recover the engine and main gun, and then Chu Jungui released Xino from the ball. A fighter plane flew out from the light cruiser and picked up Xino. This duel was over.
The starship in high orbit left quickly, and Chu Jungui piloted the ball fighter to dock with Li Ruobai's spacecraft again. Xino left in a hurry, not even leaving the damaged fighter plane. In fact, this fighter plane took a solid main gun shot and was on the verge of being scrapped. However, Li Ruobai regarded it as a treasure and ran directly to retrieve it. He flew out of the cockpit himself and carefully fixed the fighter plane to the outer shell of the spacecraft.
"Can this thing still be used?" Even the test subject doubted whether it could be used, which shows how badly damaged the fighter plane was.
"This fighter plane is a privately-made model. It has obviously been modified by a great designer. This kind of thing is simply not available on the market. They are all made one by one. I want to scan it all and then reverse engineer it. Study the design drawings. And there must be many usable parts on them."
Chu Jungui had nothing to do with Li Ruobai's interest, so he let him go. No matter how good Xi Nuo's fighter plane is, in Chu Jungui's opinion, it doesn't make much sense since it can't be mass-produced. No matter what kind of limited edition fighter plane it is, wouldn't it be knocked down by his ball?
After putting away the fighter, Li Ruobai returned to the cockpit with a satisfied look on his face and sighed: "Jun Gui, there are not many guys who are so stupid and cute in the world now! We have to take it easy next time we meet him. Otherwise, I’ll bully him so much that it’ll be bad if he doesn’t dare to come again.”
Chu Jungui nodded, "I'm already very measured. I just found out that the training mode can't help him, so I just raised the difficulty to the entry level."
"Is there a difficulty level for this? Haha, will there be a hell difficulty later?"
Li Ruobai was originally telling a joke, but Chu Jungui nodded seriously: "Yes. But there are several levels before hell, namely rookie, advanced, veteran, elite, difficulty, nightmare, and then we get to hell."
Li Ruobai couldn't figure out whether Chu Jungui was joking and asked, "Are there really so many levels?"
Chu Jungui nodded, "Of course there is. In fact, if broken down, each level can be divided into three smaller levels: upper, middle and lower."
"It's not easy to pass the level with you. If Xino knew that there were so many levels, would he collapse immediately? Hahahaha!"
After laughing, Li Ruobai asked casually: "Is there anything behind hell?"
"there is none left."
"That's good." Li Ruobai let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, Kaitian projected a beam of cold light: "Stupid inferior advanced humans, haven't you heard that there are eighteen levels of hell?"
