XXIX. Golden Branches and Gardens

At a time when interstellar transportation has reached an incredible level, all kinds of resources are abundant to the point of exploding. In the past, people sought after all kinds of precious resources, minerals and gemstones, but now there is no time to mine, there is no possibility of scarcity.

The only hard currency in the universe is probably energy and technology.

Gems that were known as rare treasures thousands of years ago are as common as stones on some planets, and Hatsuizumi wants to go to such a planet next.

Huge hedras stood casually on the earth, lakes formed by crystals, ridges made of jadeite, and holes filled with diamonds the size of fists.

It's like a golden branch in a fairy tale.

When rarity becomes common, the value of these stones will not be much more expensive than the transportation fee, and "white jade for gold and horses" is not as good as the dark cosmic alloy.

Therefore, the Authority is the real tyrant, and the buildings are all made of the most advanced cosmic alloys, and the invasion of idleness can't even open the door of the Authority.

It's too far, and Hatsuizumi is just an ordinary tourist now.

It is no wonder that some people call this planet a dreamlike landscape, accustomed to the cold and hard space style, and this pure fantasy scenery is more attractive to people's imagination of myths and legends.

There are many more tourists here than the planet that Hatsusen went to before, and the buildings are also built like fairy tales, without edges and corners. Chuquan picked a few gems that are special here, and it can be regarded as a worthwhile trip for her.

"Coming to a tourist attraction is not a tourist value!" Hatsuizumi language.

As he walked out of the store, Hatsuizumi raised his eyes and saw Sueko leaning against a tree carved out of opal one man tall. Sueko's skin was almost as white as opal, only strands of white hair slightly darker than his skin lined up in thin pieces between his forehead and ears, and Sueko's amber golden eyes were staring straight at Hatsuizumi.

Hatsuizumi was looking for something on his face that caused him to look at him so intently, she had to look back, which gave her a chance to re-examine this young man she had always regarded as a child, Hatsuizumi was a little uncomfortable, and Sueguang was already a man.

Compared with the delicacy of Sueguang when he was a child, his facial features are still delicate today, but this delicacy does not hide Sueguang's straight waist, moderately wide and narrow shoulders, and a bland and cold expression that will never be mistaken for gender.

Hatsuizumi really felt that he was really simple and peaceful when he walked beside Moguang...... Mother.

This is definitely Chu Quan's thoughts, not to mention that Chu Quan looks only in her early twenties, she can be regarded as a superior for such a long time, the breath that lingers in her eyebrows and eyes is soft most of the time, so soft that few people can notice it at any time It can turn into a sharp blade at any time, piercing a qiē.

But more often than not, Hatsuizumi is just a good old man who can talk.

"What do you think?" Hatsuizumi approached Sueko and tried to pat him on the head as she had done in the past, but she patted him on the shoulder, considering how laborious and awkward it was.

Perhaps it was from this time that Hatsuizumi gradually separated the image of the end of the past from the present, and the pure emotions of relatives also deteriorated slightly.

But this change is like a pebble thrown into the sea, and the ripples it stirs up are not noticed by either of them.

"I miss you" Sueguang almost blurted out, but reason still blocked the sentence, he just looked at the bag in her hand and said, "What did you buy?" ”

Speaking of this, Hatsuizumi excitedly took out the stone for the end of the light and said, "This is for you." She handed the honey-yellow opal, half the size of a fist, to Sueguang.

"I thought it looked like you, so I bought it." To be honest, she didn't know what this opal could do, probably purely out of interest.

The last light carefully shone the opal against the sun, and the bright light lined the stone more transparently, indeed the color of his eyes.

Naturally, his joy was not expressed on the surface, but he was a little cautious when he put the gem in his breast pocket.

She gave him a gift definitely not because he was more special than Jiuying, gifts are naturally available to everyone, but he was closer to her and obtained this priority.

"Aquamarine for the Nine Infants, Obsidian for Mucuna, Opal for White Mustard, Jade for Grass Wattle......" Chu Quan was still talking about the contents of the bag as if he were counting the treasures.

Look, everybody has it.

Sueguang laughed helplessly but happily.

Hatsuizumi glanced at Suomitsu with some suspicion, she really couldn't think of anything worth laughing at.

"Let's go." Endlight didn't want to explain his small but inflated possessiveness.

He was very close to her, but even if he was closer, he couldn't cross the same line as the chasm.

"The grass is bearing its seeds, the wind is shaking its leaves,

We stand and do not speak,

It's wonderful. ”

It was one of the countless poems that Hatsuizumi had read by the nourishment warehouse a long time ago, and it suddenly appeared in Sueki's mind.

If you don't speak, you don't have to go out of your way to find an ending, an answer, and you have always kept this breathing and audible distance.

Which one is better, for the current Sueko, for the current Hatsuizumi, there is no answer.

When he traveled again, Hatsuizumi did not take his own boat, but took the much faster ship of Sueguang.

"By the way, how the hell did you lend this?" Hatsuzumi pointed to the ship that was pitch black as if it was coldly announcing "give way", and said curiously.

"Jiuying told the military that they wanted to arrest important fugitives, and by the way, they talked about the loopholes in their system." Chuquan shuddered, "fugitive" ...... Isn't that her?

"Loophole ......" Chuquan raised his forehead, "You guys have cracked the military system again?" ”

Every time the military changed the firewall, Jiuying hurt their self-esteem in this way, and Chuquan was accused too many times, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he warned Jiuying.

Jiuying said that she was a good young man who knew her mistakes and changed them, and then she turned the crack on the surface into a crack that she didn't say anything after cracking, and made a fortune in a muffled voice.

Although Hatsuizumi thinks there is nothing wrong with cracking, it is the military that benefits from each update, not the Authority.

However, this kind of behavior is equivalent to a slap in the face after all, and the military can't get by.

"The last time we did that was five years ago." Sueko doesn't really care about face, and it's not his anyway.

As if Jiu Ying had been greatly wronged, Chu Quan rolled his eyes.

When she went, it was a smooth road, and when she returned, it was full of dangers, and Chuquan didn't expect that she would not be able to live in peace even if she came out to travel.

Of course, the current Chuquan is still simply enjoying the trip, and the ups and downs will be put in the next chapter.
