Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1124 Phoenix One (First and Bigger Chapter)
After the charity dinner hosted by Crown Princess Tan Tai Jing, Li Fu saw the trending searches and the flood of inquiries and jokes from his teammates.

He did not reply to everyone, nor did he move back to where the Li family lived as everyone expected.

He still lives in the small flat he just bought.

This was a new house he bought with almost all his savings in Chaowailou Community, close to the imperial palace in the capital of Beichen Star.

It was renovated not long ago.

He watched the sunrise on the terrace in the morning and the sunset in the evening.

The rest of the time, he was wiping the weapon he used to make a living - a sniper rifle.

……

The days passed, and there was still a week left before school started on September 1st. Xia Chujian, who was like a fish in water, had already earned 160 credits!

This means she can graduate anytime she wants...

Because this crash course in learning is perfect for her!

Moreover, these are not assessments of book knowledge, but rather practical results, including simulated confrontations in a virtual network environment.

For her, it was a sure thing.

Sometimes I can complete the assessments for two courses in one day and get 32 ​​credits directly!
If she continued with her previous pace, it would take her half a semester to get thirty-two credits.

But Xia Chujian also knew that this kind of crash course learning did not lay a solid foundation.

Just like playing a game, she passed the level very quickly, but if she encountered those levels in a real environment, she might be at a loss.

After all, no matter how realistic the virtual environment is, it is not real, but virtual.

The ever-changing and unexpected situations in the real environment cannot be fully simulated by machine intelligence.

Xia Chujian is very clear about the gap between virtual and reality.

Therefore, Xia Chujian did not apply for graduation. She still planned to continue to take elective courses that interested her, receive special military training, and consolidate the courses she had already passed, especially the elective courses related to star destroyers.

Anyway, she doesn't have to pay tuition, and the living expenses have already been deposited into the school's account. She would be at a disadvantage if she doesn't continue studying.

……

This day is Friday.

The school closed half a day early, giving everyone more than a week's vacation, which will last until the Monday after next.

The Monday after next is September 1st, and school will officially start.

This is to allow everyone to go back and have a good rest.

The special training for the reserve forces throughout the summer vacation was indeed serious.

Not only Xia Chujian, almost everyone became darker and thinner, but also more energetic and capable.

The atmosphere is completely different from when I started freshman year.

At that time, I had just come to college from high school.

Now, they all seemed to have experienced a war, even if it was a virtual war.

With such reserve cadets, the school and the military can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Only they know what kind of brutal battle is waiting for these college students who have just finished their freshman year and started their sophomore year.

……

Xia Chujian returned to her villa near the school and tidied herself up.

She planned to return to Yuanxing to spend this last vacation before school started.

From now on, we will have more than a week of vacation!
The Monday of the week after next is September 1st, and school officially starts.

She packed her luggage and was about to go out when Ye Shijie called her again via video.

This time, it was still a group video chat.

Xia Chujian clicked it casually.

"Hello, Captain Ye. Hello, Qian, Sister Cai, and Li Fu."

"Eh? Li Fu, oh, no, it should be Li Fuli, the eldest son. Shouldn't you return to the Li family and be your noble son?"

"Why do you want to be a bounty hunter with the rest of us and earn this little hard-earned money?"

Xia Chujian smiled and teased.

Ye Shijie, Song Mingqian and Sister Cai also looked at Li Fu in surprise.

Ever since the last palace night banquet hosted by Crown Princess Tan Tai Jing, Li Fu has become the most popular target on the entire Starnet.

What is “the son of a wealthy family turns prodigal”?
What is this "the original eldest son strikes back and slaps the shameless stepmother in the face"!
What is this “Lee’s top management has a keen eye for talent”?
He was praised as one of the Buddhas born and two Buddhas ascending to heaven!

However, what is strange is that Li Fu’s identity as a bounty hunter has not been exposed despite such widespread online popularity.

Of course, the main reason is that Xia Chujian realized that the people in their team were not so bored as to exploit their teammates' privacy to earn a little traffic.

The Night Hunters Association also protects the true identities of its members strictly.

Li Fu himself never told anyone in the Li family how he had survived all these years.

The people from the Li family's main lineage didn't ask either.

Because in their opinion, this is something that does not need to be asked.

Even if I was kicked out of my home, it was just a matter of supporting one person, is there any need to ask? !
They all thought that even if Li Fu's father ignored him, he would not stop providing him financial support.

After all, he was kicked out of the house when he was a minor, but parents have the obligation to support their minor children.

If the parents do not provide support, the children can directly sue them in court and demand compulsory enforcement.

So no one ever doubted how the underage Li Fu lived after being driven out.

Li Fu's father felt guilty and had a guilty conscience, so he didn't even dare to ask his son how he had survived all these years.

In addition, after Li Fu's background was exposed, he still did not move back home, which also blocked the attention of many people.

Some gossipers really wanted to find out how he had survived all these years, but unfortunately Li Fu did not give them the opportunity to do so.

So various factors are intertwined, and Li Fu's identity as the most important bounty hunter is hidden gorgeously.

When Xia Chujian teased him at this time, Li Fu felt it was very cordial.

He doesn't like being looked down upon, but he also doesn't like being treated like a monkey.

Xia Chujian thought it was best this way, he would just say what he wanted to say and not stab anyone in the back.

He smiled and said, "I am Li Fu, and I will never change. As for the 'Li Fu' mentioned on the Internet, what does it have to do with me?"

Then he said to Xia Chujian, "Chujian, I have to go away for a few days. Please take care of my house for me."

"I'll express the key to you."

Xia Chujian nodded and said, "No problem, but do houses nowadays still need keys? Aren't they all smart locks?"

Li Fu said: "I have both antique locks and smart locks installed here."

"I never use smart locks, I just use antique locks."

Xia Chujian agreed.

Then she looked at Ye Shijie and said with a smile: "Captain Ye, do you want to talk to us about something?"

Ye Shijie smiled and shook his head: "Why do you say you have something to do when I look for you? Can't I look for you if there is nothing to do?"

Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Captain Ye never comes to visit unless there is something important. Everyone is busy, so let's make it short."

Ye Shijie laughed: "You still know me well after meeting me for the first time." "It's like this, I do have a mission at hand, but it's not issued by the Night Hunter Association."

"But a friend introduced it to me."

"The mission is to help them protect an important person, but we are not the main force. The main force is said to be from the most powerful security organization in the empire. We are just their substitutes."

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched and he said, "How much can a substitute for a substitute get paid?"

Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Sister Cai also looked at Ye Shijie with sharp eyes.

They are bounty hunters, so of course they only care about money.

They will take on tasks from whoever pays more, of course, provided that their own lives are safe to a certain extent.

None of them have an S-level genetic evolver, so they will not take on missions targeting S-level genetic evolvers.

However, below the S-level gene evolvers, they can now choose any tasks they want.

Ye Shijie smiled and said, "Don't worry about the money. My friend is very generous and will never treat you unfairly."

Xia Chujian smiled and continued to ask: "How much is it? How much is the deposit? How to pay later?"

It's completely a business tone.

Ye Shijie was slightly displeased.

He said he was his friend, so Xia Chujian was being too fussy.

But Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Sister Cai all support Xia Chujian.

They said almost in unison: "This is our problem, too."

Xia Chujian added: "It's not that I don't trust Captain Ye, but this mission is not issued through the Night Hunter Association. Whether the other party can pay on time is more important."

Ye Shijie smiled faintly and said, "Since you trust me, are you still afraid that the other party won't pay?"

"I can put it here. If the other party doesn't pay, I can pay myself."

Xia Chujian looked at Ye Shijie and said calmly, "Captain Ye, this is meaningless. You are embarrassed to pay for it, but we are embarrassed to accept it."

In the end, if they are asked to do favors, they will suffer a great loss.

She might as well return to a distant star for vacation.

Ye Shijie stared at her for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head, and said, "Xia Chujian, Xia Chujian, you really are... exactly like I imagined!"

"Don't worry, I have thought about all the problems you mentioned."

"I'll talk to my friend and see what he thinks."

Xia Chujian nodded: "Then let's wait and see."

Everyone hung up the video call.

But less than ten minutes later, Ye Shijie called everyone together for a video call again.

This time, Ye Shijie said directly: "My friend thinks it is better to go through the formal channels."

"So, he has already posted the mission in the Night Hunter Association."

"This is a B-level mission. In fact, the danger level is not that high, but because the other party offered a high price, it is considered a B-level mission."

Xia Chujian became interested: "How much is it? Can it be rated B?"

Ye Shijie clicked "Accept" on the task interface of the Dark Night Hunter Association's official website.

Everyone received the mission release news from the Night Hunter Association.

"B-level mission: As the second backup, protect an important person for the client, codenamed Phoenix One."

"Mission location: Beichen Star, Imperial Capital, Hot Spring Hotel."

"Task amount: total price is 20 million Beichen coins. The deposit is 2 million. The 20 million has been transferred to the official account of the Night Hunter Association."

"Mission time limit: Protect the important person for seven days. After seven days, as long as the important person is alive, you can get the full salary."

"If an important person dies, you can get half of your salary."

After reading the mission briefing, Xia Chujian was very interested and said, "Even if the mission fails, there is still 10 million to be won!"

"How much do the main security personnel get paid? Hundreds of millions?"

Song Mingqian said: "Almost. We are the second substitute, which means there is another layer of substitutes before us."

"According to the current market price, if the second substitute also costs 20 million, then the first substitute must be at least 50 million."

"The main force is at least hundreds of millions."

Xia Chujian sighed and said, "We haven't taken on a mission with a target value of over 100 million, right?"

Sister Cai shook her head: "No, never."

"However, it is great to be able to take on this mission worth 10 million yuan."

"Chu Jian, ever since you went to college and went to Beichen Star, although our team also went to Beichen Star, we really didn't get any good missions this year..."

"They were all small fights, and they almost bankrupted me."

Ye Shijie said awkwardly, "I am sorry to you all. In the past year, I took on a few personal tasks to repay favors, and I neglected you all."

"I will give up my share of the profits for this mission. I will give it all to you."

Sister Cai suddenly became happy: "Really?! Captain Ye keeps his word?!"

Song Mingqian felt something was wrong and quietly pulled Sister Cai's clothes.

The two of them were video chatting with everyone in the same place, so they could do little things in private without being discovered by everyone.

Because the virtual display only shows the area above everyone's neck, it is very pure.

Sister Cai understood, but she couldn't take back what she had said, so she added awkwardly, "Captain Ye, it's a good idea, but you don't have to share it with everyone."

Unexpectedly, Xia Chujian argued: "Captain Ye has already said that he wants to split up, we can't not give Captain Ye this face!"

"Come on, let's all thank Captain Ye together!"

Xia Chujian even pretended to bow to Ye Shijie.

Li Fu, Song Mingqian and Sister Cai were all laughing.

Ye Shijie also laughed, but the smile only flashed across his face for a moment.

Li Fu took a look at the mission content and suddenly realized that the mission only said to protect an important person for seven days. It did not say who this important person was, and it did not say which seven days.

He raised this doubt and said, "I will be quite busy next because I have also accepted a private order."

"If the time of this mission conflicts with my personal mission, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate."

Xia Chujian also said: "Today is Friday. In nine days, we will officially start school."

"If it's after September 1st, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend."

She looked at Song Mingqian and Sister Cai and said, "If I can't participate, I will give my share to Sister Cai."

When Sister Cai heard this, she laughed like crazy: "Hahahahaha! Really?! Really?!"

Li Fu also said: "If it conflicts with my schedule and I can't participate, then I'll give my share to the money for giving away my life!"

Song Mingqian was also very surprised and laughed the same "Hahahahaha" as Sister Cai.

Xia Chujian and Li Fu smiled at each other and both found it quite interesting.
