Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

“It seems that those who can stay here must not only be capable but also obedient,” Zhou Xu remarked.

Chu Muxi glanced at Lu Junzhi and replied, “It’s not just about being obedient; they are making you obedient.”

Most of the people who came here were ‘desperate’ individuals.

Therefore, if they could secure shelter, those people would generally not want to leave.

Not only that, but the exchange here also regularly released some tasks.

As long as they could take on tasks and complete them, they could still make money and live a good life.

And another thing: as long as they were recognized by the people here, they would be safe here.

There were no so-called legal restrictions; everything depended on strength. Whether they lived or died was entirely up to them.

Of course, if they were not a force-type but possessed skills or a super high IQ, the major forces in the Black Star would see them as valuable.

They would give protection against others.

Chu Muxi was now in a period of investigation. “As long as Casey thinks I am trustworthy, he will probably let me join the forces behind him,” Chu Muxi said.

But this was also the most dangerous thing. After all, their starships were parked ten jump points away.

“We are here this time to gain a more thorough understanding. So, you can dig deeper, but don’t take unnecessary risks,” Lu Junzhi warned.

Chu Muxi nodded heavily. “Don’t worry; I understand, and I won’t mess around.”

If possible, Lu Junzhi didn’t want to involve Chu Muxi.

However, Chu Muxi was the most suitable candidate at the moment. Their people had been sneaking around here and some of their characteristics could not be changed in a short time.

Several pirate groups in the area had experience with their people. To be foolproof, they could only let Chu Muxi take the lead.

As soon as Chu Muxi arrived at the store that day, the boss sensed something was off.

It wasn’t until he looked at Chu Muxi’s face for the third time that the boss exclaimed in surprise, “Ximu, your face looks more pretentious than before. You little rascal, have you been eating well recently?”

He knew how much work he had arranged for Chu Muxi during this period.

When Chu Muxi first arrived, the boss had only given him a few jobs to test him out.

Later, noticing his careful work and talent, the boss gradually increased his responsibilities.

Eventually, Chu Muxi even secured a client, and in the spirit of soliciting business, the boss didn’t deduct too much from the commission.

As a result, Chu Muxi’s earnings became substantial.

At least his life was much better than that of most people in the slums where he lived. Considering this, it was likely that Chu Muxi’s face looked significantly better now than when he first came.

Chu Muxi hummed and continued to work diligently.

The boss walked around the room three times, unable to restrain himself from approaching Chu Muxi and stopping in front of him. “Boy, raise your head and let me see.”

Chu Muxi lifted his head, puzzled, and met the boss’s gaze with his clear eyes.

The boss slapped the table. “That’s it! Okay, you kid, I have something for you!” He slapped Chu Muxi on the shoulder twice.

Chu Muxi frowned. “What are you talking about?”

“Boy, help me with something in two days,” the boss said, smiling and adopting a very friendly tone.

Chu Muxi asked, “What’s going on?”

“Oh, I won’t sell you out, just trust me.”

At such a close look, this little brat looked genuinely good-looking. Why hadn’t he noticed it before?
