Chapter 111 The delivery service is cash on delivery.
Michelle's snicker echoed in the empty command room.
Alex merely frowned slightly upon hearing this, paying little attention to one of the thirteen clan representatives who had suddenly appeared and insisted on visiting the starship.
In his view, most of the thirteen clans were power-hungry individuals.
There are very few people who truly care about the development of the Zerg.
"Now that you've seen the Queen, shouldn't you return to your own starship, Michelle?"
Alex didn't want to say anything more to him.
However, Michelle was not happy about it. She picked up Shen Qingqing and spun her around in circles. "The Elders Council also unanimously approved the proposal for me to assist in the front-line operations. Since it is a joint operation, we should naturally have more contact and cooperate with each other."
He had no desire to return to his own starship and watch their tedious battles.
"Besides, you and that female wolf seem to be getting along quite well right now, so it looks like there's no possibility of war for the time being. Why don't we let the soldiers rest for a bit first..."
“Michelle,” Alex disagreed with his suggestion.
"If the wolf clan launches a surprise attack, can you guarantee that you can counterattack and quickly seize the main battlefield in the shortest possible time? This is not your transport fleet, nor is it your comfort zone. If you are not happy, you are fully capable of refusing the Fourth Elder's proposal... instead of hiding here, enjoying Wang Xing's military aid while ignoring Wang Xing's safety!"
Shen Qingqing was also frightened by his stern tone, her breath caught in her throat, and she dared not provoke this cold and hard officer.
Alex grew up in the military camp from a young age. After his father remarried and took two female wives, he rarely pestered his father to play with him like he did when he was a child.
After Desk was born, he volunteered to join the army and had already distinguished himself in the military by the age of eleven.
He became the youngest lieutenant at the age of thirteen, and at fifteen he followed General Bin Laden and became his prized student in the army... He returned to Wangxing for the first time at his coming-of-age ceremony at the age of eighteen and met his half-brother.
Although many Zerg are powerful and join the military before the age of eighteen, there are very few like Alex.
He had witnessed the cruelty of the battlefield and experienced family tragedies, so Alex devoted all his energy to protecting the planet, just as he had protected the Zerg and the planet on the battlefield.
He would not allow any Zerg to betray Wang Xing.
no way!
"If you are really unwilling, I can also apply to the elders' council on your behalf to transfer you to the third line."
Alex saw Michelle suddenly laugh and wondered what was so funny.
“Alex, you are always so serious, rigid, and conventional, and you don’t know how to be flexible at all.”
Michelle and he are different; they are two completely different kinds of insects.
“The vast majority of Wang Xing’s troops have been sent to the front lines, but the situation there is not as urgent as they say. Don’t you think something is wrong?”
"Do you really think that sending you to the front lines is just to protect your already rotten and decaying Zerg? Don't be ridiculous, this isn't funny at all..."
Shen Qingqing even wondered if Michelle was sick, why she was laughing so hysterically.
Michelle carried Shen Qingqing and slowly walked up to Alex, forcing Alex to take several steps back.
"You and I are both sacrifices, and so is the queen insect. Wang Xing doesn't need that many insects, and haven't you noticed that the frontline troops have been short of pay lately?"
When he mentioned the funding issue, Alex's expression became somewhat moved.
But Michelle didn't care whether he understood or not; he wasn't interested in educating the younger generation.
“I’ll say it again, Gatana isn’t that kind, and neither is your father! The royal treasury is already empty, and even military supplies are almost unavailable, so now we need to get rid of those surplus members stored within the Zerg, and this is a good opportunity.”
"The Zerg race should have been wiped out long ago."
But Alex didn't believe his side of the story. "No matter how you try to sow discord, I will never betray the Zerg, and I will never believe a word you say."
"I didn't ask you to believe me, believe it or not."
Michelle smiled and said to Shen Qingqing with a tender expression, "Would you like to take a look at my new warship? I just bought it."
While they were making a huge fuss here, a few insects who were waiting for news from them in the reception room began to think about their own futures out of boredom.
Nordlin believed he should save more money so that his future wedding would be the most extravagant and ostentatious wedding in the entire Zerg, no, in the entire intergalactic world!
Nordlin, lost in his dream, felt something poke his face.
Disturbed from his sweet dreams, Nordlin looked furious. "What are you doing?"
"Hello, this is Shunshou Express. The box of pens you ordered this morning has been delivered. Please check and sign for it."
The deliveryman, wearing a red vest and sporting a professional smile, handed him the paper and pen.
Andor stared intently at the box of pens, never expecting that Nordlin would actually buy them for him.
Uh, no, I gave him compensation.
After quickly looting all the pens from the box, Andor nodded slightly in approval.
Nordlin took the pen and was about to sign the form when he stopped when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the price.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... Come on, tell me what 100 pens and 110,000 star coins means?"
Nordlin grabbed his collar, and the courier had no doubt that if he said the wrong thing, he would be met with a fist as big as a weight from Colonel Nordlin.
"Do you think I'm stupid? How could it possibly sell for such an exorbitant price!"
According to Wang Xing's prices, a pen costs between two and twenty star coins, but a hundred pens would cost over ten thousand. Nordlin is not stupid, nor can he act like one.
"Oh, you mean this?" The deliveryman scratched his head. "Because this is on the front lines, what you're seeing is actually the delivery fee... And we at Shunshou Express have always operated with integrity and would never cheat our customers."
He let go of the collar and plopped down on the ground, wincing in pain.
Nordlin looked closely, and wow!
It's true, the delivery fee alone is 100,000 star coins... more expensive than an interstellar travel ticket.
"Just deduct these from my account," Nordlin said nonchalantly, waving his hand.
“…I’m sorry, Mr. Nordlin,” the deliveryman was now starting to suspect that the roughneck in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for him, “your account balance is insufficient.”
"How can it be?!!"
“It’s true,” the delivery guy said, shoving the personal terminal in his face. “Your account balance is 200 star coins. You cannot sign for the package due to insufficient funds.”
"We always use cash on delivery for our express delivery services, so this makes things difficult for us..."
The young man quietly pulled out a lightsaber from his pocket. "If you don't understand addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, I also know a little bit of martial arts."
