Chapter 40—Counsel for Paul

"I'm sorry Ye, these weapons are not aimed at you, but your strange kind, please don't misunderstand......"

"It's not hard for you to see now, this place has been converted into a secret room by me, and I live on it." Paul happily ushered him into the elevator.

Yang Ye nodded with a smile and said, "It was indeed a jump at first, but you did a good job, so that your and my secrets would be more secure." ”

Coming to the upper floor of the secret room, Yang Ye intuitively saw an open space in front of him, through a glass wall with a width of more than 100 meters, he could clearly see the garbage mountain outside the room, as well as the dark red sky and the 3 moons......

Looking around the room again, I saw that the design style was very similar to the future world in a science fiction movie.

All the furnishings are accentuated by rounded corners, and four or five metal robots the size of a sheepdog are crawling around.

Perhaps sensing the arrival of Yang Ye, the Beetle quickly crawled in front of him, changed into his appearance and saluted: "Welcome to your guest, I'm Paul No. 1, do you need tea or food?" ”

"Transforming robots?" Yang Ye looked at Paul in surprise: "Why does he speak the language of our earth?" ”

"No, no, no, he just communicates with you through a kind of digital brainwave." Paul smiled and drove the robot away, leading Yang Ye to the central control system behind him.

The system has a 3-meter display and laser eye.

As the laser eye finished scanning Yang Ye, his image data was entered into the central system of the room, and he would not encounter such a thing as today when he came in again in the future.

"It's really full of science and technology, and I can only see such scenes in science fiction films."

Sitting on the soft magnetic levitation sofa, as long as Yang Ye stretched out his hand, the sofa would automatically send him to the coffee table.

"It's nothing, you must know that the rich nobles of the Dao will not use such technological products, they usually choose expensive handmade products and Nasa servants."

The Na Gang is a major race of the Alpha Star, and their total number is equivalent to twice the population of Huaxia.

Their status in the Seven Kingdoms of Alpha Star is somewhat similar to that of British professional housekeepers, or Filipino maids.

This habit of being born to serve others has been in their genes since 100,000 years ago.

The Nasa people never fight for themselves, they only think about how to serve their masters, even the most advanced robots, they can't do the same meticulous care as the Nasa people.

"Hehe, as long as you work hard, there will be many Nasa servants to serve you in the future."

Yang Ye picked up the water cup on the table, and then the three Yir people who were fighting for garbage outside the window attracted his attention.

Yang Ye looked outside and said, "Paul, have those nobles asked you about the origin of your cigarettes recently?" When you were building this house and the secret room, was there anyone present? ”

"No, no, no, it's a secret between partners, how can I allow others to peep into all this!"

Paul also looked out the window and said, "I bought this house from a merchant, and it was converted from a decommissioned warship. The construction of the chamber is done by these robots. At the time of the placement of this battleship, I had already expelled everyone in the vicinity of 1000 kilometers......"

"Eviction?" Yang Ye held a cigarette and asked, "Does this land already belong to you?" ”

"Yes, it was a gift from the nobles. They gave me this territory in order to get the seeds of tobacco."

At this point, Paul seemed a little upset.

"Ye, the nobles did not doubt the origin of the tobacco, they thought I had the tobacco seed, and greedily hoped that I could hand it over!"

"It's good if you don't have it." Yang Ye took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is the result of the best I thought of, what conditions did they give you?" ”

"They grow tobacco and produce this cigarette themselves, and if I am willing to give out the grass seeds, they are willing to give me 10% of the profits, and raise my social rank from the upper commoner to the nobility," Paul said. ”

"Oh? That's a good thing! Yang Ye turned his gaze and asked, "How many of these nobles are there?" What is their place in the Empire? ”

"It's not a lot of people, just three people."

Paul extravagantly lit a cigarette: "The eldest is Colais, who is a first-class nobleman, the third son of the great Princess Nanamisi, and the other two are his doglegs, a seventh-class nobleman of Burber and Father Ace." ”

"A royal prince, a clergyman......"

Yang Ye talked to Paul about their religious beliefs more than once, and naturally knew the status of the Daoist clergy in the Alpha Star.

In Alpha Star, if you want to become a clergyman, you must first become a nobleman, and then you have to go through various procedures to actually join the church.

The combined number of all clergy is less than one of the 100,000th of the total population of Alpha Star.

Each of them is equivalent to a first-class nobleman in the royal family.

"Paul, what do you think of the conditions they put forward? I can tell you first that tobacco seeds are cheap where we are, so cheap that you can buy a lot of cigarettes with a pack of cigarettes! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Ye put down his thoughts first, he was going to listen to Paul's thoughts first, and then put forward reasonable suggestions.

"Really? I thought it was very expensive! ”

Paul excitedly finished the last bit of cigarette, approached Yang Ye and said, "I want to join the ranks of the nobles, but the conditions they put forward are too greedy!" ”

"Ye, I feel that they should give me more profit because I am a provider of tobacco seeds, and they will give me at least 50%."

"No, you're asking too much. That's not good. ”

Yang Ye changed his sitting posture and said to him: "Paul, have you ever heard of benefit sharing and monopoly? The so-called giving, only by giving up, can you get! ”

"For the aristocracy, your only bargaining chip now is tobacco seeds, and only by joining their ranks can you have the right to talk on an equal footing?"

"You can call those aristocrats to come in with some reliable partners, as long as the network is big enough. You can completely monopolize this business, and then you will have the entire customer base of Alpha Star, and then 10% will be less? ”

"Very good leaf, you are smarter than those nobles!!"

Paul stood up excitedly and gave Yang Ye a big hug: "Ye, I will convey your thoughts to the nobles, I believe they must be happy!" Can you provide me with tobacco seeds these two days? ”

"Absolutely." Yang Ye patted his arm with a smile and said, "Paul, I have a suggestion, I think you should give up the extra 9% and only take 1%!" Even so, you'll get a lot of money later on, and you'll also get them to like the boost. ”

"In addition, they can use the 9% stake to find more partners. The more you are, the more powerful you will be, and once the system of mutual benefit is formed, your tobacco kingdom will be more indestructible! ”

"Moreover, the higher your social status, the easier it will be to keep the secrets between you and me......"

"Yes! I listen to your leaves! Paul trembled his antennae, his whole body trembled, and he seemed to see a brilliant future in Yang Ye's words.

"Hehe, it's exciting, isn't it?"

Yang Ye took out a cigarette and handed it to him, slowly telling him more detailed suggestions, including what kind of partner to choose......

1 Earth Time passed, Yang Ye and Paul talked very happily, and the pack of Chinese cigarettes that had just been opened was quickly half sucked by the two.

"Ye, what do you need this time? What do you think of this robot? Not only can he protect the safety, but he is also a good housekeeper. And this one, it's the newest intelligent system on our planet...... And this ......"

In the face of Yang Ye's help, Paul wanted to give more in return, but Yang Ye didn't seem interested in any of this, or that it wasn't useful to him right now.

Yang Ye shook his head with a smile and said, "No, Paul, these are too high-tech, I need your old antiques that you don't want at the moment...... For example, the last time I saw the LCD TV in your room? ”

"Too high technology is a very unstable time bomb for me......"

"I understand Ye!" Paul pondered, "When I make a deal with the nobles, I will ask them for a sum of money to buy those old patents, and the merchants should be happy to sell them." ”

"Hmm." Yang Ye nodded with a smile and looked at the quartz watch on his wrist. This is a gift that Feiyan bought for him when he was in Jianghang.

"By the way, Paul, do you have any small, inconspicuous self-defense weapons here? I've probably been in some trouble lately, someone is secretly probing into my secrets......"

"Also, please put a set of that Aurora weapon on my side as well, I'm starting to feel unsafe now."

"I already thought there would be this day, please come with me."

Paul solemnly led Yang Ye to a weapons storage room.

This storage room is about 50 square meters, 10 meters high, and has hundreds of telescopic cabinets on all sides, and a lifting device at the foot helps them reach the upper floors.

Some of these weapons were given away when he bought the ship, some were collected by Paul from a garbage dump, and some were the latest technology he had purchased at a large price.

Yang Ye looked around and saw that there were all kinds of weapons, which could be roughly divided into three types:

One is the disabling type, and the effect is at most to the extent of destroying body tissues.

One is self-defense, which does not have the ability to damage, such as catching a ball.

The last is the sabotage class, which is basically a one-hit death for those who don't wear defensive equipment.

Thousands of selections, Yang Ye took out a watch-type weapon from the destruction class.

The weapon is an all-metal design that is very cold to the touch, with a 1 cm thick flat metal in the center and a button on each side.

"Paul, what kind of weapon is this???"

"It's like the laser weapon in my secret room, it's very powerful, but it can easily cut off an enemy's arm."

As he spoke, Paul pressed the right button in front of him!

As he pressed the button, the round piece of metal in the middle stretched out like a camera lens, about 10 centimeters high, and at the top was a laser emitter the size of a mobile phone camera.

Yang Ye asked with great interest: "So that's the case, how far is its damage range?" Will you accidentally hurt yourself and sell it? ……”

"The damage range is very short, about 1000 earth meters, it won't accidentally hurt you Ye, you see!"

Paul put it on his hand, activated the laser emitter against a wall, and then cast a hand in front of the laser.

Instantly, the laser turned off, and when he removed his hand, the laser activated again.

"It's amazing, how did you do that?" Yang Ye asked excitedly!

"It's simple." Paul removed the weapon, pointed to the curved metal on both sides, and said, "In addition to storing electricity, these two sides also have a neural sensing function on the surface, just like the mental resonator used by you and me to communicate. ”

"After it sticks to your body, it will predict your movements through nerve induction, so I raise my hand to block the laser, and it will turn off in advance, and it will definitely not accidentally hurt the user."

"Good!" Seeing this, Yang Ye suddenly remembered the scene in "Iron Man 2", where little Robert used a double-wristed laser to harvest the enemies who came to chase him.

"Paul, I love this weapon, can you please help me modify it to look like this watch? I hope it's exactly the same. ”

"It's very simple, I'll ask the robot to help you transform it later, and it should be done soon."

As he spoke, Paul began to recommend weapons to Yang Ye one by one like an arms dealer......

"Do you need anything else? This lightning gun is great, and the powerful electricity it unleashes can blow people like me off...... And this bean bomb, press it lightly and throw it out......"
