Monica took out a bottle of perfume, opened the seal and smelled it.

"Hmm...... That's it, it tastes right! Finally bought the original product! Monica said excitedly.

Shang Si: That's what you've traveled all the way to get me to ship?!

Monica: "What kind of eyes are you?" I tell you, this bottle of perfume is limited! And Shengyue also prohibits imports! It took a lot of effort for me to get this one! ”

Monica said, placing the bottle back in her hand and carefully picking it up.

Powerful, so capricious......

Shangsi: ......

Shang Si was thinking about whether he should commit a crime.

At this time, the long-lost system prompt suddenly sounded in his head.

"Complete the hidden mission, open the hidden branch, and the faction is determined."

Shang Si was secretly surprised.

This system did play a big role before he graduated from military school. At least his deep-seated procrastination was cured by the system.

However, since he was assigned to the Anxing Provincial Border Army, the system has not squeaked much except for giving a main mission. For so long, Shang Si had almost forgotten that there was such a thing.

I didn't expect the system to jump out now, and what does "complete the hidden mission" mean? He wasn't given any assignments.

What's more, the later sentence "the camp is determined", hasn't he always been from the Shengyue Federation?

……

After Monica leaves, Shanes returns to her quarters.

The room was not very large, with only a bed and a few simple pieces of furniture.

Military warships in the universe have always been like this, and in order to save space, the design of the lounge can be small.

Shang Si took off his coat, folded it neatly, and put it in the cabinet, and sat at the desk wearing only a shirt.

The monitor page on the desk stayed on Sheng Yue's largest official news network, but Shang Si's mind did not stay on it.

He was thinking about this morning.

When he returned, he had already taken a closer look at the system. But other than that sentence, the system has no other prompts.

Referring to the scene at that time, in fact, Shang Si already had a certain guess in his heart.

Monica received something definitely more than just a set of cosmetics, or rather, definitely more than just a set of cosmetics.

Although she opened the box in front of him, and there were indeed only some bottles and cans inside, some things were not what they seemed.

Otherwise, the system would not say that he completed the hidden mission.

Shang Si's right index finger tapped on the table.

Actually, Monica gave him a hint.

Limited edition cosmetics, Shengyue prohibits imports.

With these two signs, even Shang Si, a person who knows nothing about cosmetics, can quickly find out the source of this set of cosmetics.

Eisen Empire.

The state established in the first anti-invasion war, the imperial system. It is also the only remaining imperial state.

If you go back in history, more than a hundred years ago, the Aisen Empire was still a province of the Shengyue Federation. Later, the Zerg invaded, the Roboxter Line collapsed, and the communication between the various star fields was almost completely broken, and almost all places were fighting on their own. It was at that time that the Eisen Empire was founded.

Later, after the victory of the first anti-invasion war, the Shengyue Federation thought that it could restore the actual control of Aisen. However, when the statement was issued, it was unanimously resisted by the people of the Eisen Star Field.

One is the parliament that ignores them during the war, the other is General Edward, who protects them in front of the Zerg, and with the propaganda of people with intentions, the people's aspirations at that time are simply clear at a glance.

In addition, after the wartime, the area of Ayssen was completely under the control of the then Emperor Edward I. In the end, the council reluctantly stopped the recovery of the Eisen field.

However, in the end, the council also stubbornly refused to recognize the Eisen field as an independent country. So all along, the relationship between the two governments can almost be described as bad.

Now Monica has received a set of things from the Eisen Empire.

Regardless of whether there is another mystery in it, just this information that she deliberately revealed made Shang Si think a lot.

What exactly is Monica going to do?

As soon as he first came into contact with Monica, Shang Si vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The Raven's equipment was outdated at the time, and the supplies were also scarce, and Monica's arrival did help Shang Si solve this problem. Although, according to Monica, there is mutual benefit between them. But when you think about it, such a reason seems to be untenable.

How much does Monica earn for doing a little bit of agency work?

Although perhaps for the average person, that number is not low. But, let's not forget, Monica is, after all, the chief consul of a province. Will she see such a little interest?

Moreover, even if she really sees such a small benefit, she needs to contact Shangsi personally?

What is Shang Si, even if he graduated with the first place in the Curran Military Academy that year, he is just a rookie soldier who has just joined the army, and he is still just a squad leader, what does he need to let the Archon meet in person?

There are too many doubts, and Shang Si is not unaware of it, but at that time, he just had the idea of waiting for retirement with a mix of food, fooling around with system tasks, and just spending ten years, so he didn't care about any doubts.

But now, it was as if he had been caught up in a complex maelstrom.

From the discovery of the energy mine, to the team being sold out, to now helping Monica deliver strange things......

Shang Si always had a feeling as if there was an invisible hand that kept pushing him in one direction.

Although this direction is unknown, Shang Si knows that its goal will definitely not be the same as his goal of retiring from the past. And the system has even divided the camps this time, it seems that it is difficult not to mix in......

……

There are no natural planets suitable for human habitation in the Venetian planetary system, so the stargate ports formed to facilitate trade and formation eventually gathered into a man-made city suspended in the universe - Venice City.

Now the time in the city is going on at night. The artificial light in the sky gradually disappeared, and the street lamps lit up one by one.

The city of Venice is also a city that never sleeps because of its developed commerce.

Arnold once complained, since it is a city that never sleeps, why do you still extinguish the artificial light, isn't it good to be daytime all the time?

At that time, Yan Kou smiled, patted Arnold's head, and left a sentence: "You'll understand when you grow up." Arnold was confused.

It is true that there are some things that people are willing to do only at night.

The night in Venice is the time when bars, high-end clubs, and even gambling houses are thriving.

During the three-day holiday, most of the people on the Raven chose to go out.

After all, no one has ever been to this place, so of course you should take this opportunity to take a good stroll.

Shanth was the last to leave the Raven, and after handing over the box to Monica, he arranged the supplies that the Raven needed before leaving.

Because this was a private job, although Monica had been promoted to the boss of the eighth detachment, she was still paid, and by the way, she was reimbursed for the energy used by the Raven.

Originally, arranging energy supplies for the Raven should have been Sunne's business, but Shang Si sent him out early this time. After all, Sune is still very young, and it must be boring to surround him all day, so take this opportunity to go out and relax.

After Shang Si did this, the time was in the evening. Changing into civilian clothes, he left where the ship was moored.

He didn't plan to go downtown, so he just wandered around the harbor.

After an afternoon of speculation about intrigues, he also needs to relax, otherwise sooner or later he will be darkened by these things.

Shang Si casually found a bar to go into.

The bar is not big, but the decoration is more special. The bar is filled with wooden tables, chairs, and bar counters from the antique European period, and a decorative kerosene lamp hangs from the roof.

Because it has been so long since humans left the earth, some things have been drowned in the long river of history. The owner of this bar is also doing his best to make antique decorations, but Shang Si still feels disobedient.

But what's the point? A bar only.

Shang thought about it, found a corner and sat down, and ordered a glass of wine.

Because it is located in the port, it will not be literary young people who come to the bar. Most of the guests here are crew members who have been running with the ship for a long time, and they don't have much culture, so they like to be bold. So the atmosphere of the place is in line with the idea of the owner of the bar, like those taverns that appear in fantasy novels.

The bar was noisy, some were boxing, some were drinking, and some were shouting yellow jokes. When the interest comes, someone will take off their shirts, show their strong muscles, and have a hand-to-hand fight with another person on the spot.

There is a win or loss in the competition, the winner gets a full applause, and the loser is nothing, that is, three bottles of rum are poured. If someone can drink it all in one sitting, they will be praised.

The port is originally a mixed place, and there are all kinds of people, but the people who enter this store are not like Shang Si's style. So as soon as he entered the store, many people noticed him.

neatly dressed, even the buttons of the shirt were buttoned to the top one; has a slender and straight figure, and every move reveals a rigorous bearing. Although his expression was very cold, this did not damage his handsome face at all, but added a bit of the unique temperament of a superior to him.

This is not a person to mess with.

The clear-headed people in the bar saw this.

This is also a person who should not be here.

I thought this person was in the wrong place, but I didn't expect this person to walk to the table in the corner casually and order a glass of wine.

The bar was still lively, but someone with a heart paid a little attention to that corner.

Shang Si didn't expect this, he either studied in a semi-closed military academy or was imprisoned in a fully closed military academy over the years. In addition to classmates, the people who come into contact are instructors.

The reason why he has not yet lost touch with society is really thanks to the existence of the Internet.

Because of this, although he felt that some people here seemed to be paying attention to him, he didn't bother to care because he didn't feel malicious intentions.

However, just because he doesn't make trouble for others doesn't mean that no one comes to trouble him.
