Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 787 Cool Orange

"Hey, are you leaving now?" Malu said in surprise as he looked at the spaceship going away.

"That was the new private spaceship Gold Boss 5000 that was released by the Madelen Aviation Company three months ago. If you want compensation for that scratch just now, it will cost at least 240 million star coins." Wrench also said.

"Wow, this repair price is outrageous."

"That's what a luxury plane ship looks like."

"Then why did he just leave like that?" Anqi asked.

"Maybe it's because the docking time is almost up." Mr. Maotuan guessed.

"Makes sense."

In fact, everyone had discovered at this time that the dock of Aurora Freeport was very busy, with spaceships taking off and landing all the time. It seemed that the previous limited-time docking policy was not aimed at them.

Malu asked Yanwu, "Have you contacted the buyer to bring the engine over as soon as possible?"

The hardware store owner nodded, "He said he'll be here in 10 minutes."

"That's good."

Looking at the buildings in front of him that were very different from those on Earth and the passers-by dressed in different clothes, Anqi really wanted to stroll around the city more and learn more about this strange and magical plane.

Unfortunately, they could only park here for 25 minutes this time. And it took Yanwu 5 minutes to reverse into the garage, so now they only had less than 20 minutes left.

Fortunately, only 3 minutes later, a truck with a huge human portrait printed on its body drove over from a distance.

The driver was a tall, skinny jackal in a suit named Cool Orange.

The image of a man printed on his car, with his arms folded, his eyes looking forward, his chin slightly raised and a determined look, looked familiar to everyone.

"Sorry for the long wait. You must be the buyer of the Starstream VI warp pulse engine." Cool Orange parked the car and opened the door.

"That's right." Malu shook his hand and then asked curiously, "Is Aurora Trade Port usually so busy?"

"Not at all." Cool Orange said, "It's because rumors of the end of the universe suddenly broke out from somewhere in the past two days, and people started to panic and flee. My boss just ran away.

"I remember his private spaceship was parked nearby. You may have encountered it before."

"Ah, then why don't you run away?"

"Because I have a mortgage, my wife is a full-time housewife, and we have three children."

The voice of the wolf in the suit sounded weak, and coupled with his lifeless eyes, a sense of fatigue that belonged to a social animal came over him.

"Running away will be considered absenteeism. It would be fine if it really is the end of the world, but if I don't come, not only will my salary be deducted, I might even lose my job." Cool Orange kept muttering.

"The company's performance has been poor recently and they have been planning to lay off employees. If I lose my job at my age, it will be difficult to find a new one."

"Ah this..." Malu expressed sympathy.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get down to business first. You only have less than ten minutes left."

Cool Orange opened the compartment and pointed at the things inside and said, "The Starstream VI warp pulse engine is guaranteed to be authentic, but not new. You can't buy a new one at the price you offered.

"The boss advertised that this engine had only been in service for one year and three months on the original spacecraft, but in fact it has been in service for nearly five years. However, for an engine, this age is still very new and it is still a long way from being scrapped.

"Do you mind if I check it out?" Wrench asked.

"Of course, please feel free to do so." Cool Orange said, "Before shipping, I asked my colleagues to help you test it. There are no functional issues and all parameters are normal.

"Oh, the only problem is that there are a few small bumps. I can point them out to you, but they don't affect the use of it."

The wrench connected a metal tentacle directly to the engine's controller and then checked it. While waiting, the wolf man lit a cigarette and made way for others around him.

Wrench finished the inspection quickly and nodded to Malu, "What he said is true."

The jackal was about to continue speaking, but at this moment his personal terminal suddenly rang. Cool Orange quickly spit out the cigarette and answered the call.

After a moment, he put away his personal terminal, his face a little grim, "There is bad news."

“You just got fired?”

"It's not that bad." Cool Orange said, "But it was indeed my boss who called and said he wanted to triple the originally agreed price."

"Why triple it?" Yanwu asked dissatisfiedly.

"Because when you booked it, there was no such thing as the end of the world. Now the residents of all planes of the multiverse are shrouded in panic and are scrambling to escape their homes.

"As a result, everything related to the plane spacecraft has become in high demand. My boss said that if you don't plan to increase the price, he will sell this engine to other new customers who are willing to pay a higher price."

The jackal paused and said, "I know, I know it's very ungentlemanly to increase the price after the customers come. I absolutely stand with you on the spiritual level.

"But I'm just a worker and I can't disobey my boss's orders, so either you pay three times the money, or, unfortunately, I have to take the engine back to the warehouse."

"The original price of this engine was 1100 million star coins. Triple it, which means we have to pay another 3300 million."

Malu looked at Yanwu and the others, "I have already spent all my money, can anyone of you make up for it?"

An Qi shook his head. "What is a star coin? How about RMB? I have a lot of RMB."

Mr. Maotuan said, "I don't have either of these."

Wrench said, "I still have about 40 star coins in my account. If you want, I can lend it to you."

"My total assets are only about 1800 million star coins, and most of them are in the form of goods." Yanwu, the richest among the crowd, said in a deep voice.

Everyone tried hard to collect the money, but they couldn't even get one tenth of it.

"In that case, I can only say sorry." Kujuzi was about to close the trunk when he was stopped by Malu, "Wait, to be honest, we are actually planning to save the world this time.

"That warp pulse engine is very important to us. Without it, we won't be able to rush over to stop those Skulds. So could you please be flexible and give me the engine first?"

Cool Orange blinked, "Sorry, my boss would fire me if I did that."

Just when the millipede was feeling disappointed, the jackal changed the subject, "But I have a proposal that will allow you to get the engine and keep my job."

"What proposal?"

"You can attack me and take the engine."

"Uh…are you kidding me?"

"I didn't." Cool Orange said, "See that surveillance camera over there, you, the big hairy guy."

"Are you talking about me?" Mr. Maotuan captured the key words.

"No, no, it's the one next to you."

"Me?" He pointed at his nose while you peed.

"That's right. In a moment, you will pick me up under the surveillance camera and strangle me by the neck. Use some force, but don't strangle me to death. At least, just leave some bruises on my neck.

"Then throw me out with all your strength, and you can leave with the engine."
