Chapter 137 The training mission is over
Immediately, the Lucky Cat became a little unhappy again.
Although it was good for the butcher to establish a relationship with Augustine, it also meant that the other party would no longer do business with him from now on.
I am missing the biggest way to make money!
Seeing the lucky cat lamenting, Liu Cheng seemed to understand what the other person was thinking and said:
"In a few days, I may be transferred to the frontline star battlefield with the troops. There are fewer interstellar merchants there, and the nearest black market in the star field is here. Maybe I will have to cooperate with you in the future."
Lucky Cat said happily:
“It’s easy to say, it’s an honor for me to serve the butcher boss and Senior Augustine.
Don’t worry, butcher boss, the price I will give you will be absolutely fair! "
"Contact me often in the future. Anyway, you also have my communication key."
Without chatting more with the Lucky Cat, Liu Cheng made an explanation and left the black market.
This time he only purchased some daily consumables and did not sell the excess star cores.
During the last beast wave incident, he consumed a lot of the star core fragments on hand. When this training mission was over and he was about to go to the front line, he decided to accumulate more star core fragments.
After leaving the black market, Liu Cheng went to Fat Hu's transportation company office to try his luck and see if Fat Hu was there.
As a result, I happened to see Fat Hu sitting behind the desk holding two women.
Seeing Liu Cheng come in, Fat Tiger, who was holding two women in his arms, showed no awkward expression on his face. He slapped the two women on the buttocks and motioned them to go out first.
Then he smiled and said to Liu Cheng:
"Brother Butcher, you're here. I heard that a tidal wave of alien creatures attacked the planet last month. Are you okay over there?"
Fat Tiger was obviously not on planet ST44732 during this period, and he didn't know much about some of the things happening on the planet.
Liu Cheng did not intend to tell the other party too much about the military situation and said directly:
"I'm going to the frontline star field in a few days. Do you want to say goodbye to Fat Brother this time?"
Fat Tiger asked in confusion:
"Why did you go to the front line when you were fine?
Oh, by the way, I remembered that your military has been thoroughly cleaning up the alien creatures on this planet recently. Will there be no need for troops to be stationed in the future? "
"Pretty much. Part of the reason is that I've been promoted to captain of a soldier now."
"Have you been promoted to a level two superpower?!"
Fat Tiger asked in surprise.
In his impression, Liu Cheng was a first-level psychic who had just joined the army a year ago.
If he were told that Liu Cheng was now a level three superpower, Fat Hu would be so shocked that his jaw would drop to his stomach.
Liu Cheng didn't explain much and said:
"In addition to saying goodbye to Fat Brother, I also want to ask you to help me transport some things to my family."
With that said, Liu Cheng took out some more star core fragments.
These star core fragments are different from those of poor quality that he has taken. They are all carefully selected and set aside by him.
When Fat Brother saw another star core fragment, he said:
"Brother Butcher, it's not that I don't want to help you transport it, it's just that the round trip distance is too far. You really can't afford to transport these star core fragments every time."
"You transfer the money you earn from selling them to your family, and then let them buy the star core fragments themselves. The difference in price is not much more than the transportation cost."
Liu Cheng knew that Fat Tiger had good intentions, so he explained:
"This is different. The star core fragments I took out are of high quality. My sister has just entered the first year of high school. I don't want her to absorb low-grade star core fragments that contain too many impurities."
Liu Cheng lied. Every star core fragment he left for his sister was of the highest quality.
If Augustine hadn't looked down upon such small star core fragments, he would have probably snatched them away.
However, just hearing that these were top-quality star core fragments had already shocked Fat Hu.
"All of them are top quality?!"
Fat Tiger took the star core fragments and looked at them one by one, just like Lucky Cat's first acquisition of Liu Cheng's star core fragments.
But Fat Tiger didn't know much about this aspect. After looking at a few pieces and seeing nothing fishy, he put down all the star core fragments.
He believed in Liu Cheng. Since Liu Cheng said that these fragments were all of high quality, it would definitely not be false.
Fat Tiger showed a very embarrassed expression and said with a smile:
"Butcher brother, don't worry, I will definitely deliver this batch of goods!
But if you have extra high-grade star core fragments in the future, can you sell me some? "
Liu Cheng asked doubtfully:
"Fat brother, you also need star core fragments?"
Fat Tiger said:
“Oh my, isn’t this a bottleneck in business development and I want to find a way to break through?
It was robbed by interstellar pirates last time, and recently it was suppressed by other transport caravans.
I finally figured it out. If you want to make your business bigger, you must either have a strong background like those who suppressed my peers, or you must have strong strength yourself! "
Liu Cheng nodded:
"Fat brother, you will think clearly when the time comes.
Okay, when I have extra star core fragments on hand, I will sell you some at a friendly price. "
"No, no!"
Fat Tiger waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Although there are many star core fragments on the market, top-quality star core fragments are indeed hard to find. We two brothers have a good relationship, so we can just trade them at normal prices.
Butcher brother, if you are willing to sell it to me first, I will already get a big advantage. "
Seeing Fat Hu say this, Liu Cheng didn't refuse.
After all, he now needs a lot of money to buy equipment. The money for a minimum-level Gundam combat mecha alone is enough for him to save for several years.
Liu Cheng left Fat Tiger's transportation company and ordered two bottles of beer and ten skewers of desert lizards at a small shop on the street of Mineral City.
He sat at the table of the open-air shop, drinking beer and eating skewers, watching the streets of Mineral City quietly.
People of all kinds shuttled through the streets of Mineral City, the merchants were busy and noisy, and everyone lived their normal lives.
It seemed that no one cared that three special forces soldiers and thousands of marines died on this planet a month ago.
It was already evening when Liu Cheng returned to the temporary assembly point of the military.
A group of fast troop transport ships were sent from the Qin-class strategic cruiser to take all the recruits who withdrew from the training mission today back to the Qin-class battleship.
Liu Cheng also took the troop transport ship back to the regiment headquarters.
Four days later, all the alien creatures on the planet ST44732 were cleared.
The training mission for this year's recruits also officially came to an end.
Liu Cheng looked at the published statistics. The total number of people who participated in this year's training mission was more than 60,000, and more than 10,000 people died, with a casualty rate of just over 20%.
This created the lowest casualty rate in all previous training missions.
Everyone in the regiment sighed, secretly saying that the strength and quality of this year's recruits were really high.
Liu Cheng understood that the reason why the casualty rate of this year's training mission was so low was not because the strength of this year's recruits was much stronger than that of previous years.
It was the result of the excellent teamwork ability and strong sense of cooperation of the recruits.
