Chapter 4819 4822 [Help for Justice]

After Xiang Nan left Watto's Thrift Store, he came to Qui-Gon Jinn, Padmé, Jar Jar Binks and others.

"Hi~" Xiang Nan greeted with a smile.

"Hi, hello." Qui-Gon Jinn nodded.

"A sandstorm is coming soon. Do you have a place to shelter from the wind?" Xiang Nan asked.

"How do you know a sandstorm is coming?" Jar Jar Binks asked curiously.

"This is the philosophy of survival that I have summed up," Xiang Nan explained.

"We can go back to the ship," Qui-Gon Jinn explained.

"Will it be very far?" Xiang Nan asked again.

"Just outside of town," Padmé explained.

"Then you won't be able to get back in time. Sandstorms are very, very dangerous, and you need to take shelter for a while." Xiang Nan said, "Come on, I'll take you to my house."

Qui-Gon Jinn and Padmé looked at each other, neither of them able to refuse Xiang Nan's hospitality.

Seeing this, Jar Jar Binks and the Barrel Robot hurriedly followed behind.

Xiang Nan took a few people to the Mos Espa slave district, which was the poorest area in the city.

The houses are stacked on top of each other, like beehives or anthills. They look very simple in appearance, but at least they can shelter from wind and rain.

For Anakin and his mother, such a house is already rare.

Just when we were halfway there, a sandstorm arrived.

The howling wind blew up the yellow sand all over the sky, and in an instant, it covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire city of Mos Espa, making it extremely difficult for people to move.

Xiang Nan and the others returned home in a somewhat embarrassed manner, braving the wind.

He didn't show his strength because he didn't want to get into trouble.

Whether it's the Jedi Knights, the Sith Knights, the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire, or the New Republic, they have nothing to do with him.

He just wanted to learn the most advanced scientific knowledge and live a peaceful and comfortable life with Padmé.

……

Arriving at the slave quarters of Mos Espa, Xiang Nan found his own house and entered the code on the access control panel. The door then opened and everyone walked in.

"Mom, I'm back!" Xiang Nan shouted.

"Well, a very cozy room." Jar Jar Binks looked around the house and nodded with satisfaction.

Following Xiang Nan's call, a kind-looking lady came out from the inner room. It was Anakin's mother, Shmi Skywalker.

She was obviously a little surprised to see Qui-Gon Jinn, Padmé, Jar Jar Binks and others.

"They are friends I just met, Mom," Xiang Nan explained.

"Hello, I'm Qui-Gon Jinn. Your son asked us to come here to avoid the sandstorm." Qui-Gon Jinn introduced himself.

"Please take a seat." Schmi was kindhearted. Although he was a slave and very poor, he was still willing to help others. "I'll go prepare lunch."

"Please take a seat. You're welcome." Xiang Nan also greeted them, "Why did you come to our place?"

"Our ship is broken and we need to repair it," Padmé explained.

"I can help. I can fix anything." Xiang Nan volunteered, "I am responsible for repairing most of the old items in Watto's Thrift Store." "I believe you can, but we need to buy the necessary parts first." Qui-Gon Jinn nodded.

"But we don't have the money to buy it now." Jar Jar Binks spread his hands.

"That vendor must have some weakness that we can exploit," Padmé suggested.

"Gambling." Xiang Nan said immediately, "Voto is a crazy gambler. He will bet on anything for the shuttle race."

"Podrace?!" Qui-Gon Jinn groaned, "We can take advantage of its greed."

"I can help you." Xiang Nan said immediately, "Tomorrow is the shuttle race day. I have a shuttle. I can participate in the race and help you win the engine."

"You're participating in the shuttle race?" Qui-Gon Jinn was stunned.

He had heard of shuttle races, where participants would drive shuttles to race, and whoever completed three laps first would win the race. It was a difficult event full of danger and challenges.

Because the speed of the shuttle is usually over 800 kilometers per hour, and the road conditions are full of dangers, including plains, canyons, caves, hills, etc., the slightest unsatisfactory situation can result in car crashes and deaths.

Because the race is too dangerous, the Republic has banned shuttle races. Only Tatooine, far away from home, still holds the race.

"That's too fast, too dangerous. You need the speed of a Jedi." Qui-Gon Jinn waved his hand.

"Let me try. This is your only way." Xiang Nan looked at Qui-Gon Jinn and said.

"Even if I agree, your mother won't agree." Qui-Gon Jinn refused again.

"I will go and convince my mother." Xiang Nan explained, "I secretly built a shuttle myself, and I dare say it is the fastest shuttle on Tatooine.

You can say that this shuttle is yours, and then take me to sign up for the competition. Then you can bet your spaceship with Watto for the hyperdrive. He will definitely agree to your bet. "

Anakin was a skilled repairman. He picked up a pair of engines that Watto thought were scrapped and built a shuttle of his own, with a maximum speed of 950 kilometers per hour.

Such a speed was enough for Xiang Nan to win the shuttle race. Moreover, he was also proficient in some tricks outside the game, which guaranteed that he would not lose the game.

……

Soon, lunch was ready.

Although simple, it is enough to feed everyone.

Xiang Nan also told his mother Shmi that Qui-Gon Jinn and his friends were in trouble and in urgent need of help. "Mom, I want to help them. I want to participate in tomorrow's shuttle race and win the hyperdrive they need for them."

"Anakin, that's too dangerous." Shmi shook his head and said, "Watto won't let you participate."

"He will. Just don't tell him that I made the shuttle." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"But I don't want you to go either. It's too dangerous, son." Schmi also said worriedly, "Every time Watto asks you to participate in a competition, I get very worried."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be fine." Xiang Nan smiled, "And I like adventure."

"I also think it's too risky. We will think of other ways." When Padmé heard Xiang Nan say that he wanted to participate in the shuttle race and win a hyperdrive engine for them, she also thought it was too risky.

"Are there any forces here that are inclined towards the Republic?" Qui-Gon Jinn also asked.

"No." Schmi was silent for a moment and shook his head.

Tatooine is located at the edge of the Milky Way and is a notorious criminal planet, most famous for its spices and mercenaries, all of which are controlled by gang organizations.

The Galactic Republic has no place here, or else slavery wouldn't exist.

"Mom, I am the only one who can help them now, and don't you always tell me that the biggest problem in this universe is that people never help each other?" Xiang Nan looked at Schmidt and said.

"Well, although I don't want to agree to your going, this is indeed the only way." Shmi finally nodded, "He is destined to help you."
