Chapter 108 Nordlin, Heavily Indebted
Chapter 108 Nordlin, Heavily Indebted
"Whatever you want." Andorra had given up on expecting Nordlin, that roughneck, to buy him a pen.
As a qualified mechanical life engineer, the nature of the role is similar to that of a medical officer, except that the subjects of research and treatment are silicon-based life forms.
For every medical officer, the pen is their life!
You can leave a stack of Star Coin Black Cards on your table, but that doesn't guarantee that any bugs will take them.
But after placing a pen on it...
The moment you placed it on the table, it was destined that this pen would never belong to you again!
"Colonel Nordlin had better think about how to get through the asteroid belt next. After all, this is not like when you are piloting the ship yourself. There is a large fleet behind the ship."
"Yes," Nordlin touched his newly grown stubble.
The piloting skills of those insectoids in the fleet are far superior to mine; I can't afford to destroy the fleet led by the queen insectoid.
"Don't worry, I'll teach them some ship piloting techniques later."
Nordlin cleared his throat and began what he often did—talk nonsense.
The insects, who had been drowsy, instantly woke up, thinking that something had happened to the queen's spaceship, and they all listened with great attention.
To everyone's surprise, the intercom crackled with Nordlin's exaggerated roar, "Listen up, you bugs! The great Colonel Nordlin is about to teach you little trash how to properly pilot a spaceship through an asteroid belt..."
He rambled on and on, and the insects couldn't understand a word he said.
The main problem was his loud voice and fast speech; his long string of words came out like a machine gun firing at them.
They were riddled with holes.
Fortunately, Alex managed to save the day, "Colonel Nordlin, you..."
Nordlin, still brimming with enthusiasm after finishing his speech, turned around and asked, "Would you like to hear my speech too?"
“No need,” Alex said coldly. “My wolf pack has already begun to tighten the encirclement. I suggest you don’t approach yet…”
“Alright, alright, I got it,” Nordlin interrupted him impatiently. “We’ll be there soon.”
"..."
Is this guy even listening to him?
Alex was reluctant, but had no choice, so he could only squeeze out a dry "Be careful."
The warship continued its journey, but this time Andorra overruled everyone's objections and insisted that Nordlin rest aside, allowing Klein to temporarily pilot the ship.
After much persuasion, Nordlin finally gave up his idea of speeding through interstellar space, disregarding interstellar traffic laws and passenger safety.
Andorra felt that this trip had really put him in a difficult position.
Subsequently, a paper titled "On the Difficulty of Communicating with Insects That Cannot Communicate" was published on CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure).
Turning mundane, everyday tasks into practical work is a fundamental academic skill for a scholar.
"We are expected to enter the center of the asteroid belt in two minutes."
Klein reminded him, "And..."
"And what?"
"Colonel Nordlin, you haven't paid me the rest of my wages for today."
"Brother-in-law, didn't I give you a check?"
"I'm returning the check to you."
"Didn't that involve a transfer of money?"
"Oh, that's the pay for the last hour."
"..."
Nordlin then transferred the money, only to discover, to his dismay, that his account showed insufficient funds.
"How can it be?!"
Andor observed discreetly and discovered that there were a large number of expenditures related to women's items such as bags, clothes, and high heels.
A short while later, Ge Yuan's voice came.
"Nordlin~ I bought something using your account!"
Upon hearing Ge Yuan's voice, Nordlin instantly shut up, fawning like a lackey, "Hehe, I'll buy you whatever you like."
"Oh, right," Ge Yuan said, painting her nails, "remember to pay me back for this 'use now, pay later' deal~ Bye-bye~"
Okay, bye-bye~
Andorra is chilly.
It's hard to imagine that such a rough man could make such a clamping sound.
Andorra: yue~
Shen Qingqing: I didn't hear you, I can't hear you...
Klein: He appears to be piloting the spaceship, but he is actually secretly judging whether Ge Yuan is doing well from her voice.
From what I've heard so far, they seem to be doing quite well.
As of now, Nordlin has liabilities.
It's alright, it's all for supporting my wife, this little bit of money is nothing.
Nordlin's self-PUA.
"Brother-in-law, um... the wages I owe you, could you... pay me back with your body?"
Klein: ...
What else could he say.
"I don't have any special fetishes."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll pay you back when you get your salary."
The spaceship nearly collided with an oncoming meteorite as it passed through the asteroid belt, and the surrounding fleet consciously dispersed to avoid being caught in the crossfire due to excessive density.
The further they went, the more meteorites they encountered, so many that the fleet that had been surrounding the spaceship had to split up to continue moving forward.
Surprisingly, the wolf pack did not send troops to continue following them.
On the wolf clan warship, Colette calmed herself down, barely managing to escape with her life from the noise of that black-skinned bug.
"There's no need to send troops to track them down; my sister is waiting for them in the center."
Colette's sister was one of the closer relationships he had with the werewolves.
Therefore, when the old wolf king suggested that the two of them join forces to wipe out the Zerg, he did not object.
"You can leave the rest to your sister. How's the [Pandora Project] going?"
"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, the first batch of reagents has been put into experiments, and the results have far exceeded expectations! Mass production has now begun, and it is expected that large-scale spraying can be achieved in a maximum of two weeks."
Colette smiled; the little white wolf was fast asleep in his arms.
"Tell your sister to hold off the insect queen and the others. As for the rest, just let time take its course."
"Yes."
The little red dot on the radar kept moving, getting closer and closer to her sister's spaceship.
"Andorra, don't you think there are more and more meteorites here?" Shen Qingqing asked, looking out the window at the meteorites that were almost surrounding them.
Noticing the unusual surroundings, Andor spoke up, "It's probably because we've already entered the interior..."
"No, I mean the meteorites outside seem to be controlled, they're following us closely."
He pointed to the meteorite outside, which could be considered a 'tracking' target.
Klein saw it too. "Someone's manipulating things behind the scenes, Qingqing. Should I shake them off?"
Shen Qingqing nodded, "I always feel that being chased by something lifeless is more frightening than being chased by other races."
As they accelerated to shake off the stunt behind the spaceship, a loud bang was heard.
The meteorites that had gathered together suddenly exploded when they collided with each other.
"So this is why the wolf clan hasn't made any moves before."
Andor brought up the previous information, saying, "The Wolf Clan has always been cunning, and they've probably already turned all the meteorites in the Fourth Star System's asteroid belt into bombs."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing almost immediately stood up from her seat. "Then I'll go send a message to Alex and the others!"
At this moment, Alex was confronting them.
