Chapter 118: Never take leadership seriously
Once you get on the pirate ship, you will never be able to walk down again in your life.
At this moment, Jones felt particularly touched by this sentence.
Thirty years ago, he was a young man with a strong ambition living around the Oasis Space Station. He was a slum planet with a slum planet. Although he was hunched and ugly, he was tough and warm. Such a person's original life trajectory should be like most civilians in the wandering star field. He worked hard, made progress, and had good luck to become a middle class like Stiljarong. If he was not lucky, he would live a progressive life in poverty.
However, after one step, Jones had a fire by chance... He could have ignored it, just like most wild species in the world, trying to live his life in obscurity, but he was excited and unwilling to be lonely for a moment, and got on the pirate warship. From then on, his life trajectory was very different, and he never had the chance to go back on his word. Occasionally, he looked at his companions who died tragically on the battlefield or were hanged at the gate of the city. He woke up countless times in nightmare, regretting the difference in his thoughts back then.
After that, he gradually became crazy and sought comfort by abuse of the innocent civilians who were looted by them. It was his madness that led him to be promoted to deputy sheriff by Jack, and from then on a darker path of no return.
When being a pirate, although he often wanders on the edge of life and death, he always has free time to enjoy life after robbery. In the pirate den, he can occasionally have human shining points. However, being a subordinate of Jack, he really has to maintain a crazy and inhuman state at all times. If he relaxes a little, he will die like the former deputy sheriff.
Jones has always believed that he had gone from an unknown civilian to the position of deputy sheriff, and had almost no choice during this period. The so-called boarding the pirate ship is a portrayal of his life.
At this moment, Jones once again felt the taste of this sentence deeply.
Just a moment of thought, he was on the way to betray Jack.
Jack has absolutely zero tolerance for betrayal, and even if there are any signs, he will erase it mercilessly.
For example, although Jones's previous conversation with Wang Ye did not have any substantial betrayal, it expressed this intention. If the conversation reached Jack's ears, Jones would undoubtedly die, and there have been many precedents before this.
Jones worked under Jack for ten years without showing any flaws, and then he was qualified to take over.
But in fact, this power change is accompanied by a test.
This is Jack's usual style. Even if he wants to reward something, he will not hand it over directly to the other party. It will inevitably be accompanied by a game like a cat and a mouse. The other party will have to go through a lot of trouble and torture it all in order to get the things.
The task of raising funds is actually not difficult. Jack himself has already raised almost all the funds and goods. For the rulers of the Oasis Space Station, that gap can easily be filled. Even if you can't grab Yula's st crystals, you can still find something worth tens of millions of dollars if you can't grab Yula's st crystals around the Oasis.
So Jones once thought that Jack was finally influenced by his loyalty, so he gave him a difficult job, which was equivalent to giving him the position with the flow.
But now it seems that there are quite a few traps behind this mission.
First of all, Yura's smuggling boat, with a Sleya on the boat and a Wang Ye who is stronger than Sleya. Did Jack know about this in advance?
If he didn't know, why did he leave the Oasis Space Station in a hurry after he arranged the mission? There were really so many urgent matters to report to his superiors? I'm afraid that Jack would have known Slaya's existence at that time, and even knew that the other party had an absolute advantage in force. Even with the years of operation of Oasis Space Station, it was difficult to resist, so he went to take refuge. And Jones... was the abandoned son who blocked the gun.
Of course, if Jones could really complete the task successfully under such adversity, Jack would certainly not be stingy with the reward, but this is really a missionimossible.
Jones once thought it would be his last mission as deputy sheriff.
When Jones thought of this, he suddenly remembered a legend he had heard in the pirates before.
"Never regard a task as the last time. Those who shout to go back to their hometown to get married after completing this ticket will definitely not come back."
Jack played this trick, giving people a glimmer of hope, and then hiding this glimmer of hope in deep despair.
...
"Hey, what are you thinking? Tell me the question quickly and don't waste everyone's time."
Wang Ye interrupted Jones' thoughts in his heart impatiently.
"Introduce the details of your birthplace, in addition, how you get fire in the slums, how many wild species are there, how Jack usually draws power from it... These questions require you to answer seriously."
Jones smiled bitterly.
"Actually there is nothing to say. I was born in the Oasis Recycling Station, an asteroid made of mining garbage. The first twenty years were like most of the untouchables in the wandering star field. Until one morning, after getting up, I found that I had a fire. In the recycling station, there were indeed many people who had similar experiences to me, and the proportion of wild species was born far greater than the average. However, only Jack himself knew the abnormality of the Oasis Recycling Station. All the rest of us, whether I, Yue Huang, were just a little bit of aware, including how the fire in our bodies came from, I still don't understand."
"Don't understand?" Wang Ye was not satisfied with the answer. "Even if you didn't understand at that time, can't you understand after you took the position of deputy sheriff?"
Jones explained: "It is because of the deputy sheriff that we cannot understand the problem too clearly. You also said that that is the capital for Jack to truly settle down. How could he let his subordinates know too much? I have been under him for ten years, and only know that he collected a large number of wild species from the recycling bin and carried out elite military training for a group of people with better talent. The combat effectiveness of those wild species is quite amazing, and he is really loyal to Jack."
After pausing, Jones emphasized again: "You will never be able to instigate that army."
Wang Ye sneered: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, all I need is the number of immigrants. It doesn't matter whether you die or live after entering."
"Um?"
"Nothing, don't care." Wang Ye said, "Then at least you should know how to get to the recycling bin."
"Of course, but you really want to go?" Jones said, "I haven't been there for more than a decade. It is said that Jack carried out militarization in the past few years, which was amazingly strong, and things are likely to be related to Jack's launch."
"so what?"
Jones reminded: "I suggest you think it clear, that is a powerful force that can treat Jack, the ruler of the Oasis Space Station, the famous warlord in the underworld of the Wandering Star Domain, as a chess piece. It's okay if you go to die by yourself, don't implicate me."
"I'm still the head coach of 800,000 wild species, the system administrator of the New World. This kind of mystical tone is less used to show off. You are only responsible for leading the way honestly. And from the moment you betray Jack, you are destined to be implicated, so be more sober and accept reality."
Jones pondered for a while: "Then, when I take you to the Oasis Recycling Station, will you help me clear all the troubles as promised and sit firmly on the sheriff's throne?"
"Or it can also help you open a portal, a new world, you should have heard of it."
"I have no interest in games, this is the home I have run for many years," Jones said.
——
At the same time, millions of kilometers away from the Oasis Space Station, a pitch-black spacecraft floated quietly in the meteorite belt. Its shape is very unique and at first glance it looks exactly like the meteorites around it.
However, inside the spacecraft, it is like a magnificent palace, with a wide and gorgeous hall, with artworks made of gold and jade, purely hand-woven silk, and carpets of natural wool... As a spacecraft, it is incredibly luxurious.
The hall was empty, with only two men walking side by side, one of which was tall middle-aged man, Jack, the sheriff of Oasis Space Station. There was a person next to him, half a head shorter than him, and much older. He was half a step ahead when walking next to Jack, revealing his positional advantage.
The man said as he walked, his tone of emotion: "Every time I come here, it makes people feel that my lifelong struggle seems worthless. Just such a lounge is more luxurious than the most luxurious building I can build. Even those superpowers are hard to have such luxury. This is the truly powerful force that is richest."
Jack nodded: "And we have struggled all our lives, but we have only walked to this peripheral lounge and barely entered the edge sequence of the high-rise."
"Haha, you are lucky. When you are in your prime, you will be able to retire from the elders and be able to take the bench naturally. I can't. Now this position is exchanged for the lives of the whole family."
Jack said, "That's worth it."
"Of course it's worth it." said the old man, "but I still envy you, Jack. When you walk here from Oasis Space Station, you're really soaring into the sky."
Jack held back his smile and said, "It's still a little too late. There is still the last task that has not been completed, and then we can talk to the sky."
"Ha, for you, the task of raising funds is not easy to get? Even if you use your private treasury, it is enough to meet the task requirements, right?"
"Of course, it's OK, but that will reduce my task evaluation, right?" Jack said, "so I still let my subordinates do it. I don't know how it's done now, but I'm going to let him take over my shift."
The old man said wonderingly: "You really have the successor you like? Is it that one-eyed dwarf?"
"One-eyed dwarf? Hahaha, of course it's not him, that's just a self-righteous idiot."
"Oh, who could that be?"
"Chen Sen."
"Chen Sen?" The old man was a little incredible, "In terms of ability and nature, he is far worse than that one-eyed dwarf, right?"
