Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1264 Chips (First Update)
Ruan Xiong is not very old, probably around 25 or 26 years old.

He is of medium build, well-mannered, and looks like a natural secretary.

So Xia Chujian didn’t understand why this kind of person had to come and grab the position of a squad leader of the Star Marines.

Even if I want to avenge my father, isn't this method too cost-effective?

Xia Chujian pondered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He nodded and said, "Is it Secretary Ruan?"

Ruan Xiong also nodded, with his hands behind his back, looking gentle and elegant, and said with a smile: "I am Ruan Xiong, the third secretary of the captain's office of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet."

"Are you Xia Chujian? The candidate for squad leader of the 044th Squadron of the 144th Company of the 4th Battalion of the Space Marines?"

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, thinking that the prefix of this title was really long.

This is really a small piece of meat, and some people are arguing...

She remained calm and said calmly, "It is me. Shall we start the challenge now?"

Ruan Xiong shook his head: "I still need to announce the rules. Don't you already know the rules?"

Xia Chujian said: "Rules? Isn't it just a challenge? Whoever kills the other wins."

Ruan Xiong smiled meaningfully and said, "It can be seen that Captain Xia is a man who does not stick to any rules."

"However, the necessary procedures still need to be followed."

As he said this, he raised his hand.

In the transparent cubicle, a talker on the glass wall began to make sounds.

"Now I announce the rules of the challenge. The challenger may not aim to kill the opponent."

"Once the opponent has no power to fight back, the challenger needs to stop the action."

"The challenged party may make every effort to defeat the other party, and in the event of a threat to life, may use all possible force."

"Both sides can only use weapons permitted by the military."

"Weapons not permitted by the military shall not be used."

"Once discovered, they will be immediately treated as defeated."

Xia Chujian listened attentively and was very confused: "...That's it? This is the rule?"

Ruan Xiong raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this enough?"

Xia Chujian said seriously: "What do you mean by enough? We have to fight to know whether we win or lose!"

Ruan Xiong shook his head and said, "If I remember correctly, Captain Xia is not a genetically evolved person."

"And I am a D-level genetic evolver."

“There is a wall between the genetically evolved and ordinary people.”

"Captain Xia, you don't think that an ordinary person like you can beat a genetically evolved person, right?"

Xia Chujian said, "We haven't fought yet, how do you know you can't win? I've never been the kind of person who gives up before the fight."

Ruan Xiong nodded: "I see. It turns out Captain Xia is the kind of person who won't turn back until he hits a wall."

Xia Chujian didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she said directly: "Let's do it!"

She was about to release her Xuannv Qingyao Titanium Mech when she heard Ruan Xiong say, "Captain Xia, we don't have to fight to the death."

"Although I challenge you, I can also admit defeat immediately."

Xia Chujian: "..."

Are you kidding her?!

Is there something wrong with this person?
Xia Chujian frowned and said coldly: "Ruan Xiong, I don't have time to joke with you!"

Ruan Xiong said hurriedly: "Captain Xia, don't worry, I want to discuss something with you..."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the surveillance camera on the glass wall and made a gesture.

Then, there seemed to be a flash on the surveillance camera.

Ruan Xiong nodded and said, "Okay, the surveillance here has been turned off now."

"I specifically sought this opportunity to negotiate a deal with Captain Xia."

Xia Chujian put her hand on the red spider lily necklace around her neck and said calmly, "I'll give you one minute."

Ruan Xiong said: "As long as you promise me, I will admit defeat immediately. You are the team leader, and I am just a space marine under your command."

Xia Chujian said: "No, I never make promises easily."

"Since today is a challenge, let's do it!"

She released her Xuannv Qingyao Titanium Mecha.

A black and silver light flashed, and Xia Chujian was already completely enveloped in the mecha.

Ruan Xiong's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Captain Xia, I said, as long as you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xia Chujian's sniper rifle had already been loaded out, and the black muzzle was directly against Ruan Xiong's forehead.

Ruan Xiong felt the cold and murderous texture of the sniper rifle, and his back suddenly broke out in sweat.

He no longer cared about negotiating with Xia Chujian and said quickly: "Captain Xia, as long as you promise me to kill the remaining eight people in your team, I will immediately admit defeat!"

Xia Chujian was a little surprised: "What did you say? You want me to kill my teammates?"

Ruan Xiong said coldly: "Captain Xia has just arrived at our Fifth Interstellar Fleet. I'm afraid he doesn't know what kind of ruthless people your team members are!"

"They are so bold that not only do they often bully other Marines, they even dare to attack their superiors!"

"My father, Ruan Qiang, was once the captain of the Fifth Starship, but he offended them and was killed by them!" "I endured the humiliation and joined the army as a genetic evolver, and became a small secretary just to avenge my father!"

When Xia Chu heard that he was indeed avenging his father, she felt a little bit of admiration for him.

She put away her sniper rifle and said calmly, "You want to drag me down with your one-sided statement."

"Ruan Xiong, if your brain is not enough, don't use your IQ to challenge other people's patience."

Seeing that Xia Chujian was unmoved, Ruan Xiong suppressed his anger and said, "Of course I have evidence!"

"I have collected a lot of evidence in the past few years in the captain's room of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet."

Xia Chujian said, "Let me see."

Ruan Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and thought, as long as he was willing to look at the evidence, it would prove that there was still a chance.

He was worried that Xia Chujian would not cooperate with him...

Ruan Xiong pulled out a virtual display screen and began to show the evidence to Xia Chujian.

Xia Chujian glanced at the transparent cubicle and said, "Secretary Ruan, aren't you worried about being seen by others if you just display the evidence like this?"

Standing here, she could see clearly what was happening outside.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Xiong said, "When there is someone in this cubicle, people outside cannot see inside. Only people inside can see outside."

Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows: "This is quite interesting."

Then he turned his eyes to Ruan Xiong's virtual display screen.

Xia Chujian’s pupils suddenly shrank, but quickly returned to normal, and he looked at the “evidence” as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Xiong showed her several screenshots, which turned out to be the anonymous group where military merits could be exchanged for transactions!
Lao Mo told her that everyone there was anonymous and no one knew each other's identities.

At that time, Xia Chujian felt that it was unreliable. At least the group owner and administrator could see the true identities of the group members, right?
But Lao Mo also said that especially when people were speaking, even the group owner didn’t know who was speaking.

But now after seeing this screenshot, Xia Chujian knew that the anonymous group was not so anonymous...

The screenshot that Ruan Xiong showed her showed that when group members were talking "anonymously", someone, or software, could display each other's real accounts and identities.

In other words, this entire so-called anonymous group for exchanging military merits is actually under the control of those above.

It’s just that these people in control really just don’t care.

Even if some people rob each other and some people fight back, they don't care.

Because the anonymous system itself is a double-edged sword.

To gain an advantage, you have to take risks.

How can military merit be so easily obtained?

Do you really think that exchanging military merits privately is possible as long as you are rich and powerful?
Danger exists for both parties in the transaction.

There were space marines who offered military merit in exchange for being killed by soldiers or officers in regular combat sequence.

There were also soldiers or officers in regular combat sequences who wanted to kill someone during a transaction but were killed by the Space Marines.

Basically, they will not disclose the true identities of the two parties in these transactions.

Unless someone is extremely persistent and is determined to track down the murderer at all costs, it is not impossible to discuss it.

Ultimately, it depends on whether the chips you pay can impress the controllers of those anonymous groups.

Ruan Xiong was able to obtain these evidences, which shows that he was really determined to do it.

It is impossible to get the people above to show leniency without offering huge benefits.

Xia Chujian understood all the clues in an instant, and was glad that she didn't have to take the risk of going to the anonymous group for military officers to exchange money.

Now that their Star Marines can be counted as military merits, people will be even less likely to trade.

That group should be considered defunct.

No one is a fool. If the benefits and honor can be obtained in a fair and honest way, why would they sell official salt as private salt?
Xia Chujian guessed that this was probably the reason why Ruan Xiong could no longer wait.

Because if people like Lao Mo were promoted based on their military merits, Ruan Xiong would probably never be able to avenge his father's murder.

Xia Chujian wanted to understand all this and said calmly: "How much did you pay to get these things? Is it worth it?"

Ruan Xiong gnashed his teeth and said, "Of course it's worth it! As long as I can avenge my father, I will pay any price!"

Xia Chujian said: "How much did you pay? Tell me about it..."

Ruan Xiong was choked by her words, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Of course the price will be very high, but Captain Xia, don't worry about it."

"I also promise Captain Xia that if you can kill your eight teammates, I will give you another 8 million Beichen coins!"

"Kill one person and I'll give you one million Beichen coins!"

"Also, I'll get you eight Space Marines. You'll still be the team leader, and we'll all be your soldiers!"

Xia Chujian sneered, slowly raised the sniper rifle in his hand, and said, "Your abacus beads are about to fall on my face."

"Eight million. You have to kill eight comrades to get the eight million. Do you think you are being generous?"

Ruan Xiong was surprised and said, "Eight million! Isn't that enough?"

Xia Chujian's voice turned cold, "You can sell out eight comrades for eight million. Ruan Xiong, you are just like your father, a bastard with a black heart, blind eyes, long hands and a stupid brain!"

Seeing that she still refused to compromise, Ruan Xiong frowned and said, "So we can't come to an agreement?! - Then don't blame me for being rude!"

It's Monday again, please give me some votes for recommendation!
There will be a second update at five minutes past twelve noon!

Have your recommendation votes increased?
