Chapter 73

Constlac was one of the planets with the longest history in the entire Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. The planet had existed for more than twenty billion years.

As early as the Middle Ages, the planet already had a high level of civilization and was once the core of the entire universe. The high development of the mechanical civilization soon led to conflicts between intelligent machines and humans, and the end result was the annihilation of the entire civilization in war.

The reemergence of Constlac happened more than three thousand years ago. The abandoned planet was redeveloped by the Federal Government, and a large number of mechanical civilization relics were excavated, and a city was built on the foundation of the mechanical civilization. For more than three thousand years, the planet had always been the largest manufacturing planet in the entire Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation.

Due to the prosperity of the manufacturing industry, there were many large-scale shipyards and docks and repair shops.

After docking the spaceship at the port, Gu Ding and Lilliath stepped out of the spaceship and saw a truly spectacular scene. Most of the spaceships at the port were larger than Gu Ding's Grey-faced Buzzard. Various White Falcon and Silver Eagle spaceships were docked at the port, blocking the smaller spaceships. What excited Gu Ding the most was that he saw a Golden Eagle in the distance. The spaceship was more than seventy times the size of the Grey-faced Buzzard. It attracted the attention of countless passersby on the port.

"I wonder what kind of big shot is on this planet," Lilliath muttered in a low voice. "It's not easy to buy a Golden Eagle."

"What an imposing spaceship!" Gu Ding's eyes lit up. "One day, I'll get my hands on one!"

"Do you know the price of a Golden Eagle? Liliath said mercilessly. "Even if it's damaged, the lowest price on the black market is more than 800 million Universe Credits. Listen up, it's not Star Credits, it's Universe Credits! "

"Why don't you just say eight hundred billion Star Credits?" Gu Ding grinned. In Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation, the exchange rate between Star Credits and Universe Credits was 1000: 1. This exchange rate would occasionally fluctuate, but it would not be too big.

"Star Credits are just the currency in circulation within the Cosmic Nation. Different Cosmic Nations have different types of Star Credits and different exchange rates with Universe Credits. This kind of spaceship would only be sold for Universe Credits, not Star Credits, "Lilliath explained very seriously. Star Credits did not circulate between different Cosmic Nations. If he wanted to use it, he had to convert it to universe dollars, or convert it to universe dollars before converting it to the corresponding universe country's star dollars.

After leaving the port, under Neptune's guidance, Gu Ding and Lilliath found a restaurant with a good reputation.

In the past three days, not only Lilliath, but Gu Ding was also sick of egg fried rice. After finding a good restaurant, the two quickly ordered the dishes.

However, they did not notice that a diner in the restaurant, after noticing the two of them, checked the two photos on his wristwatch.

Neptune found Gu Ding four or five reputable repair shops with suitable prices. Gu Ding and Liliath were also going to visit early the next morning. They hoped to repair the spaceship and leave as soon as possible. After all, after the two of them had bombarded the Onassis Mansion, not only had they received a high bounty from the Onassis Clan, even the Federation Government had increased their bounty by a large margin.

Gu Ding's bounty had been increased from eight million Star Credits to eighty million, and Lilliath's bounty had been increased from six million to sixty million Star Credits. Their net worth had increased tenfold.

However, what was more attractive was the bounty offered by the Onassis Clan. After three days without any news about Gu Ding, the Onassis Clan doubled their private bounty to six hundred million for Gu Ding and four hundred million for Lilliath.

Such a high bounty did not match Gu Ding and Lilliath's combat effectiveness at all. At best, Gu Ding's combat effectiveness was about the same as an Interstellar Pirate worth around two hundred million Star Credits, and he would need Neptune's help to achieve that. As for Lilliath, even if she had armor-piercing bullets, she could only deal with a Rank 6 Gene Body at most. At most, her attack power would be equivalent to a bounty of around one hundred million Star Credits.

The Onassis Clan set such a high bounty for a simple reason. They wanted the two of them dead.

Just as the two of them were enjoying their sumptuous dinner, a bespectacled man outside the restaurant said, "I'm Bundy from the Constlac branch. I've found Gu Ding and Lilliath …"

A moment later, a deep man's voice came from the other end of the communicator. "Send their photos to the bosses of all the spaceship production factories and repair companies on Constlac. Tell them to reject all requests from the two of them."

"Understood!" After hanging up the call, Bundy dialed another number …

The next morning, Gu Ding and Lilliath brought the spaceship's blueprints to the first repair shop they could find.

The owner of the repair shop was a bald man with a face full of stubble. When he saw the two of them, his expression was slightly unnatural.

"Mr. Carril, we found your repair shop on Skynet. It has a good reputation. We hope you can help us repair our spaceship." Gu Ding also noticed the change in the other party's expression, but he did not think too much of it.

"I'm sorry, our work schedule for this month is already full. We can only accept new orders on the first of next month at the earliest. Can you wait that long?" Bald Carril directly rejected this business deal.

"But I saw that your repair shop was still accepting orders last night?" Gu Ding asked, puzzled.

"It must be that fellow Interte who forgot to update his online order status again this week. I'm really sorry for making you come all the way here. You should try asking other repair shops."

"Okay, thank you!" Gu Ding and Lilliath could only look for the second repair shop.

"Why do I feel that there's something strange about that bald uncle just now? He didn't seem to welcome us from the very beginning." Lilliath also noticed something strange.

Gu Ding nodded. "I think so too. It's possible that he's seen our videos on Skynet."

"That's possible." Lilliath thought about the video in which she and Gu Ding were completely portrayed by the media as two evil troublemakers. Anyone who saw the video would subconsciously stay away from them.

The two soon arrived at the second repair shop. The boss was a tall, thin young man with a pale face. When he saw Gu Ding and Lilliath, he frowned. Gu Ding and Lilliath noticed this subtle movement.

"Hello, Mr. Adam. We saw on Skynet that your repair shop has a good reputation and is still accepting orders. That's why we came here today." Gu Ding immediately mentioned the other party's online order status to avoid the previous incident.

"Let me take a look at your spaceship's blueprints." Adam nodded.

Neptune immediately projected the spaceship's blueprints in front of the three of them, along with the current damage analysis report.

Adam roughly looked at it and forced a smile. "It's a very beautiful spaceship, and it's also very valuable as a collector's item. But … I can't repair it for you here. "

"Why?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"This is the first generation of the Grey-faced Buzzard. It has a history of more than a hundred years. This generation of spaceships has also been out of production for more than ninety years. There's no way to find the corresponding parts now. I'm really sorry, but there's nothing I can do, "Adam explained.

"Can't you replace it with other parts?" Gu Ding asked.

"Many of the parts are custom-made and are unique. Very few can be replaced. Even if we take a step back and say that replacement parts can be found, the spaceship's performance will still be affected. I absolutely don't allow this kind of work here, and I won't accept this kind of business that will tarnish my reputation. I suggest you look for other repair shops. "

"Alright, thank you for your explanation." Gu Ding nodded and turned to leave with Lilliath.

"This guy is obviously more afraid of us. There's a hint of impatience in his tone." Lilliath once again noticed that something was wrong.

"Let's go to two more shops." Gu Ding was expressionless and did not express his opinion.
