StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 59 Wanted Order

"Hey, stop crying."

Ge Yuan never expected that she would have such a talent for public speaking.

Her heartfelt words actually moved her to tears.

She really is too versatile.

With snot and tears streaming down her face, she cried and begged to return to Wangxing immediately.

Shen Qingqing suddenly realized how naive and ridiculous her initial thoughts were.

Everyone else is thinking about the future development of the entire Zerg race, but she's always thinking about hiding and going somewhere to have fun.

Even if we have to play it safe, we have to wait until the Zerg are strong enough to survive.

The wolf clan is so arrogant now. Once the insect clan is completely defeated, she, a mere insect, will have a hard time roaming the world.

"Waaaaah, let's go now!"

"Sigh, no rush," Ge Yuan wiped the tears from her face. "We need spaceships and tools, otherwise going straight back would be suicide."

"I scouted the location yesterday. They sell raw materials here. Give me time, and I can handcraft a particle cannon!"

He set off with Shen Qingqing, full of bravado.

To avoid any accidents, they walked there.

"We don't take taxis to avoid being detected by the real-name registration system, right?"

After so much time, Shen Qingqing has realized that it's really hard to survive here without an identity, unless you're prepared to become an unregistered resident.

Ge Yuan nodded, "That's right. Moreover, things like spaceships that can travel between stars require a legitimate identity to purchase. As for interstellar flights, forget about them; they're both troublesome and time-consuming."

Ge Yuan, who was used to traveling by following the crowd and piloting her own spaceship, didn't particularly like it.

Fortunately, their accommodation was not far from their destination, so it was a good way to digest their meal.

When Shen Qingqing actually set foot on that land, she realized that the place they lived in was probably the most developed region on the planet.

The residential area before us, which could hardly be called a residential area, looked lifeless and devoid of any sign of life.

Even she had to bend over to pass through the low, narrow alley, making it very difficult for Ge Yuan, who was 1.8 meters tall.

They also had to be wary of sewage splashing out from the abandoned windows on both sides from time to time.

"Ge Yuan, is this really a place where people live?"

Shen Qingqing carefully walked on the ground where there was almost nowhere to put her feet, and finally understood what the legendary Eel River District looked like.

Looking up, there was no sky, only endless darkness.

It's hard not to feel depressed living here.

However, for Ge Yuan, who had lived in the Elu District for many years, it felt more like coming home.

"Of course people live there, and not only are there people, but there are quite a few of them."

Ge Yuan joked, "Have you ever seen cockroaches in the sewers? Just like them, there are probably no fewer than five or six homeless people crammed into every damp and dark corner."

"It's not nice to say it like this, but that's the truth."

Compared to Shen Qingqing's discomfort, Ge Yuan seemed much more at ease.

"Oh, and remember not to take off your mask."

"Are you afraid I won't be able to win and will get robbed?"

"No, I'm afraid you'll be sold." Ge Yuan deliberately wanted to tease her.

"With your small frame, someone could just cover your mouth and carry you away to sell you. There's no chance of you even getting a chance to steal you."

After saying that, Shen Qingqing moved closer to Ge Yuan, "Then you'd better protect me."

When they arrived at the Strange General Store, they discovered that things were not so simple.

Reach out and tear down a painting that was pasted on the mottled wall.

The two heads looked at it again and again, but they still couldn't figure out what was drawn on it.

"Can you understand it?"

"I can't, but what about you?"

"Same."

Faced with the eccentric style of the drawing, Shen Qingqing said she couldn't understand what was drawn on the paper at all.

The simple line drawing, composed of a few lines, is crooked and distorted. Apart from the easily recognizable font of the reward amount at the bottom of the picture, it contains almost no useful information.

Ge Yuan threw away the paper and went straight in through the door.

"Boss, do you sell aviation materials here?"

A smiling middle-aged man stepped out from behind the curtain, his small eyes gleaming as he saw the two of them.

"Oh dear, this kind of thing is contraband, we're afraid..."

He rubbed two fingers together, making a number.

Ge Yuan frowned, her expression displeased.

This number is too high; it must be a scam.

The two then engaged in a heated debate, haggling over the price. In the end, the shopkeeper, unable to win with just one mouth against two, agreed to a discount.

"Send the materials over in three days. Please leave your address, ladies."

Ge Yuan picked up her pen and quickly wrote down the address. According to local custom, a 40% deposit was required.

Although the boss looked like he was losing a lot of money when haggling, he was all smiles when it came time to pay the deposit.

They couldn't stop smiling even as they reached the door.

"By the way, gentlemen." Perhaps out of kindness, the shopkeeper took two pieces of paper from the counter and handed them over.

"The Zerg are currently hunting these two people. If you two are short of money, you can also gather information on them, since you get paid for providing clues."

After walking out, Ge Yuan threw the paper away without even looking at it.

"They didn't even paint a fraction of my beauty on it."

The wanted poster featured a portrait of Ge Yuan.

However, the drawing is somewhat abstract.

The large waves were replaced with just a few curved lines, and the eyes were replaced with two small black beans. Only a headshot was drawn.

You can tell this style of art is the boss's doing without even looking at it.

"Am I really that ugly?" Ge Yuan touched her face and suddenly had the idea of ​​getting minor cosmetic surgery.

"No, it's just that their drawings are a bit too eccentric."

The remaining wanted poster about her was folded up and stuffed into his pocket.

Ge Yuan didn't understand why they had to do this.

Shen Qingqing offered a seemingly reasonable explanation for this behavior: "It's mainly because the art style is so unique that it made me want to collect it."

Before I even left the alleyway of the Ellio district, a gust of wind blew in my face, slapping several wanted posters against my skin.

Wild portraits, covering the mountains and plains, floated in the air and danced on the ground.

“We’re quite valuable,” Shen Qingqing said, taking the wanted poster off her face. “That boss was just a middleman who made a profit from the difference.”

"Look, it's a difference of a full 100,000 star coins."

Ge Yuan saw that it was indeed so.

The wanted poster, originally priced at one million Star Coins, was reprinted and increased to nine hundred thousand Star Coins.

The unscrupulous merchant pocketed a full 10% of the price difference!

Even the secondhand market wouldn't dare to be this shady!

Thinking about the money she had spent, Ge Yuan felt a pang of heartache and needed Shen Qingqing's support to keep from collapsing.

"That despicable middleman, he'd better have everything ready in three days, or he'll get a taste of my wrath!"

At this moment, inside the Wangxing, Gatana connected to the inside line, and Colonel Nordlin's booming voice came through:

"Lord Gatana, Goyu has been blasted to smithereens by the dark matter particle cannon, along with its spaceship..."

"What did you say?"

The person on the other end seemed oblivious to the displeasure in Gatana's tone and continued smugly, "My lord, they are already dead."

"Colonel Nordlin, when will you ever use your brain for a second? Why should you be the one to wipe out the female who could tame you like a dog..."

“Also,” Gatana tapped the table lightly with his index finger, “Ge Yuan is not important. I want you to bring men here now to capture the female who was traveling with her.”

"Remember, stay alive."
