Chapter 654: Chapter 199: The Scheming Su Xiaocai
[Hu Ping]: Got it, Admiral Bai is the guinea pig.
[Xing Miao]: Nonsense, Admiral Bai volunteered to demonstrate for Caicai.
[Hu Ping]: ...
Changing the wording suddenly makes it sound more noble.
[Wu Qingqing]: I want to know what kind of life the prisoners are living. If they’re not suffering enough, I’ll be upset, feeling sorry for those adorable soldiers who died.
Speaking of this, Su Xiaocai also wants to know the life of prisoners. In the past life, prisoners would be used as bait for Insect Men, and those who escaped by luck would still be cannon fodder next time, living in constant fear.
She would prefer to kill them all, dying quickly would be less trouble and avoid management hassles.
But with millions of people, after killing tens of thousands of rebels and dozens of officers, the number is still in the millions, more than the population on Su’s Planet.
Killing them is unrealistic and does not align with national values. The warship is filled with skinny, impoverished civilians who were pushed onto the warship and transported here. When asked what they came to do, they only knew they were here for construction, to build a new nation.
How could anyone bear to kill such civilians?
Su Xiaocai feels the Ten Stars Republic would have a more humane arrangement.
[Su Xiaocai]: Maybe there will be news coming out in a while.
And she can directly ask above about the handling plan for the prisoners; it doesn’t have to be kept secret from her.
Heh heh!
The Insect Mother and Insect Man Warriors were all cleared out, and the prisoners were taken to a barren star with nothing, fitted with monitoring shackles, and equally put to work on reclamation.
So many people naturally can’t be placed in one location; they will be separated and processed batch by batch in a while, so she will ask again in a few days.
Su Xiaocai made an appointment with them to meet in the New World the night the Mechas go on sale.
Because on that day, even the leaders of the new recruit camp would be scrambling for Mechas and wouldn’t have time to manage them, leaving everyone collectively free.
They didn’t chat for long before they had to go train.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaocai just finished eating a leg of lamb when Admiral Bai arrived.
Admiral Bai didn’t treat himself as a visitor and boldly occupied the long bench in the backyard, "Admiral Su, shouldn’t you be working?"
Su Xiaocai smiled innocently, "My injury hasn’t healed yet, I need a few more days to rest."
"If you don’t put chili powder on your lamb leg, I might believe you. Eating so joyfully, is this really appropriate?" Admiral Bai threw out two Space Buttons, "Inside there are eight Insect Man Warriors and two Insect Mothers, all yours."
Su Xiaocai quickly switched to a friendly smile, swiftly snatched the Space Buttons, and clasped her hands in greeting, "Hero, whatever you need, just give the order, I’m willing to go through fire and water for you."
Admiral Bai: You brat! Still can’t handle you.
Admiral Bai told her, "I only have a three-month holiday, want to quickly improve my Qi Sensing."
"Mm." Su Xiaocai nodded vigorously, "Okay, if you want to speed it up, why not buy a new Simulation Pod? It doesn’t require nine nine nine nine nine, only nine nine nine nine eight, and you can own a super-performance Simulation Pod and enjoy a ’deadly’ stimulating experience."
Admiral Bai: "???"
What kind of devilish descriptions, can entering a Simulation Pod really be life-threatening?
"I worked hard to apply for materials for you, and you’re discounting me by just one yuan?"
"Deluxe version, I’m planning to sell for six nines, five nines for you, at a cut-throat price."
"How much is the non-deluxe version?"
"Add a one in front of five nines."
Admiral Bai gritted his teeth, "Deluxe version, give me three."
"Are you sure about this? No need to consider?" Five nines is no small amount.
But when she bought a new model Simulation Pod, it also cost a million, much more than her own production, yet many people still flocked to it.
"No need to consider, I can afford it. But you’re making a lot of money, can you really use it all up?"
Su Xiaocai considers herself a mundane person, "Whether or not I can spend it all, running a business, I just love the feeling of making money." Money goes into the pocket, then gets spent, buying brings infinite happiness.
With money, laboratory funding doesn’t need to be scraped together, no one can control her experiment progress. With money, she can plant as much land as she wants.
"But where do you commanders get so much money, can it all be reimbursed? They only give me a salary of three thousand above."
Admiral Bai retorted irritably, "You just lie there and receive three thousand, what more do you want?"
He gave her a briefing on the benefits brought by real power, "Positions above Major General must have some privileges, right? Every month there’s reimbursement quota, all these people wanting to climb up, it’s not just for patriotism, but also for the advantages of power and good welfare awaiting them. Otherwise, who would be willing to move their behind? With comparisons, there comes motivation, envy is also one of the driving forces for progress."
Su Xiaocai obviously understood, "Being a General is supposed to be a noble thing, but listening to you, it all sounds so mundane."
