StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 303 Enemies meet on a narrow road

"Although I don't know which unlucky guy was piloting the spaceship, I have to admit that the pilot's skills were indeed excellent; he actually dodged my first shot. But it doesn't matter, I deliberately let him win! When they sent a big guy out to repair the engine, I fired a shot..."

"..."

"That spaceship is completely destroyed, hahaha!"

"..."

"It's all thanks to my brilliant guidance. You know, that guy Pandoshisha was still feeding his five-hundred-dollar dog back then, while I'm different. I'm a man focused on my career! I dream of conquering the entire universe! How about it, interested in joining my Omega camp and creating a perfect world for space pirates together!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Omega was even moved to tears.

Of course, Shen Qingqing was not going to be moved; her fists were burning hot at the moment.

'So it really was them. What a small world!'

Omega, who was busy recruiting members to build a pirate empire, obviously did not notice Shen Qingqing's subtle emotional changes.

He was completely oblivious to the subtle actions of women of the opposite sex.

Having spent so much time on the Golden Ship, and having not been in contact with any women since leaving university, he was now completely focused on his career. So, when Shen Qingqing sprinkled something on him in the shadow created by the torchlight, he was oblivious.

"How about it? Under my leadership, Omega, we'll definitely be able to spread the fame of the Golden Ship far and wide. We can work together and achieve great things..."

"Hehe, let's grow bigger and stronger together and create new glories?" Shen Qingqing asked rhetorically.

“That’s right, that’s right! Seriously, Qingqing, you should quit your job. Don’t be an explorer anymore. This kind of job doesn’t offer the five social insurances and one housing fund, and it’s not reimbursed. It’s tough and tiring. It’s not suitable for you at all,” Omega sincerely advised.

"So what kind of job do you think I should do? Clerk? Accountant?"

"No, no, no, I think that would be too much of a waste of your talents. Besides, one accountant like me is enough for the Golden Ship."

Omega unconsciously raised his head, his tone carrying an imperceptible air of pride:

"I believe that with your abilities, you are qualified to be my third mate."

He originally wanted to say first mate, but then he suddenly realized that wouldn't work. Becoming first mate would mean having similar strength and status to him, and he might not be able to control the Gold. So, after considering the second mate's large physique, he thought of the third mate's position.

"Are you that confident? Aren't you afraid I'm just all show and no substance?"

Shen Qingqing decided to temporarily put aside her grudge about destroying the spaceship. After the conversation, she couldn't be sure about anything else, but she could at least be sure that the blond, blue-eyed man in front of her who resembled Michelle was definitely not very bright.

At the very least, he can't compare to Michelle in terms of intelligence.

That's how she commented.

Upon hearing this, Omega was taken aback, clearly not having considered this situation, but quickly recovered and said, "But the fact that you were able to enter here alone has already proven your strength, so I think there should be no doubt about it. However, if you want to be promoted later, you can gradually advance through challenges."

He, Omega, made up for his lack of martial prowess by taking written and oral exams, and then became the captain's first mate through challenges!

Thinking of this, he raised his head even higher.

'Hehe, after my Omega's little bit of persuasion—oops, not persuasion, but recruitment—Miss Qingqing should be interested in joining me, right? Then I'll bring in a few more people, and together we'll grow bigger and stronger, creating even greater glory, hehehehe…'

Omega was overjoyed. He knew that everyone has their own unique talents and that he would definitely make something of himself in this life. And now, the opportunity had come.

Shen Qingqing, standing to the side, knew without even lifting her eyelids what this guy was up to.

'I can tell they're pretty unhappy with Captain Pandora. All this talk is just a ploy to recruit people? Are you kidding me? Do I look like someone who can fight, run, and be tough? Do I look like some kind of morally bankrupt person? Why would I give up being a perfectly good explorer to become a ragged, wanted space pirate? And these pirates… ugh… they don't seem very competent, they're all dressed so smartly.'

After a quick glance at the six people's attire, she could roughly determine that the salary and benefits on this so-called Golden Ship were probably not very good, otherwise these crew members wouldn't be dressed so poorly, especially the first mate named Omega...

"Thank you, I will seriously consider it," Shen Qingqing politely declined.

She wasn't going to waste her time on them, even though less than ten minutes had passed since she fell to the bottom of the 'tower'.

These ten minutes felt incredibly long. From the moment she began exploring to hearing the neighbor's dog barking, and now to meeting Omega, it felt like an eternity.

The watch on her wrist was hidden by her wide sleeves, and in the darkness, amidst the scattered firelight, no one noticed her attire, nor did they see the lightsaber at her waist.

The air fell silent. The interior of the 'tower' was pitch black. Shen Qingqing's footsteps were exceptionally clear in this quiet and eerie environment. Each step felt like it was stepping on the tip of one's heart, sending shivers down one's spine.

Omega was no exception. Although he was the first mate of the Gold, and was usually arrogant, unruly, and lawless, in real life, even that five-hundred-dollar dog was more valiant than him.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Omega swallowed hard, cautiously observing his surroundings. Unfortunately, limited by his race, he couldn't clearly see what the shadows in the darkness actually were.

The unknown breeds fear, so he withdrew his gaze and forced himself to focus on Shen Qingqing, who was scouting ahead, forcing himself not to think about those frightening things.

'I've been through a lot of wars and seen a lot of weird and disgusting things in the past. This place is just a bit darker, quieter, and a bit scarier than those places... There's nothing to be afraid of.' Omega kept reassuring himself, afraid of being frightened.

His gaze returned to the explorer, who was about five or six meters away. He noticed that the distance between them and the explorer had increased from one or two meters to five or six meters.

"He walks really fast, even though he's not particularly tall..." Omega muttered, taking a few quick strides to catch up, not forgetting to remind his subordinates:

"Hurry up, all of you! Don't keep Miss Qingqing waiting!"

'What does this have to do with me?' Shen Qingqing suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and continued walking ahead without stopping.

Sometimes trouble comes to you even if you don't go looking for it.

Especially when there's a loudspeaker nearby.
