Chapter 379: Princess Emerald and Seven Little Starfish

"First of all, after all, it is a stage play, and the space for expression is often limited, so the character structure cannot be too complicated. If we're going to make a movie in the future, we can play a little bigger. Yu Lian calmly picked up a piece of paper from the table.

"You still want to make movies? I think there are a lot of movies, and I've written some scripts. However, the scripts that I spent a year and a half preparing carefully usually didn't make much money, and I spent two or three weeks sketching out ghost talismans to deal with people's gadgets and they always sold well. The audience loves to watch something lighthearted. ”

That's why I said, like Mr. Qi, who is handy with popular and serious subjects, and a great writer who has made brilliant achievements, is completely the protagonist template of the literary copying stream, and the name of a new work alone is enough to make a cosmic-level big news, which is definitely a treasure of the earthlings, and a colossus weapon in the propaganda industry! It's a pity that the big guys of the community don't know how to use it.

"Audiences like to watch light-hearted things because they have suffering. The audience only likes to watch light things because they are not suffering enough. Yu Lian said.

Mr. Qi sighed softly and nodded.

"It's also possible that someone didn't let them face the suffering. However, the coming day is long, and we can come little by little. Yu Lian pondered for a moment, and then wrote a few words on the paper.

"Don't tell me you're creating on the spot. Seven steps into a poem for you? In other words, are you not only a genius in battle, but also a genius in heaven? That's disrespectful. Mr. Qi smiled, and then saw Yu Lian leave the words "Princess Gumeia and the Seven Little Starfish" on the paper.

How could it be possible to write "The White-Haired Girl" and "Thunderstorm"! Even if it is written, it will have to undergo major surgery! It does not conform to the characteristics of the times, but it does not impress people.

In addition, it is more convenient to really pick up the bottoms of capitalism, such as "The Great Gatsby" and "My Uncle Hule", but this is the time to play with the alliance in the future. Now, don't we have to play with the Empire first?

“…… Princess Gumea? You guy is really too energetic. I know you're going to block the empire's devils, but with your real name like this, are you really not supervised by the empire? They're much stricter than the Alliance. Mr. Qi exhorted earnestly. If the old man hadn't all laughed and blossomed, and felt that every pleat was full of bad taste, Yu Lian might have believed it.

"That's why I used seven little starfish!"

"So why starfish?"

Uh, isn't the persecution of starfish a matter of course in the context of a cosmic war? Although Yu Lian wanted to say this, he estimated that if he said it, he would be regarded as mentally retarded by the old man, so he explained: "I can't just say the Kuifei people, of course, I have to replace them with starfish." Anyway, they look alike, and if you know it, you will naturally understand. ”

"Where does it look like? People are also normal mammals, okay? It can't be said that people prefer to be active in the sea, just say that it is a starfish! Mr. Qi said helplessly.

The Quaffy does bear some resemblance to starfish. They are about one-third the size of a human, and have a round but very agile body, with a triangular head and torso separated by no neck, making it look like they have grown together.

Their limbs are dexterous enough to walk upright and manipulate various tools on the ground, but when they are in the sea, they absorb a lot of water and become full starfish antennae, which propel their bodies to swim freely.

It was a minority living within the empire, or rather, one of the rather inconspicuous components of the empire's long list of conquests.

Before being completely conquered by the Tirelos, this intelligent race living on the continental shelf and on the shallow seas had already created a fairly prosperous civilization. They possessed a perfect written language, calendar, and law, a systematic system of rules and regulations, and moral pursuits, and also formed five or six complete civilization circles on their home planet, and were marching towards the final unification.

If you look at it in terms of civilization, the Quaffy people should be equivalent to the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance era on Earth.

Sadly, even with this level of civilization, in the eyes of the empire that had already traveled the galaxy at that time, it was still no different from primitive people. What's more, the early history of conquest by the Tiriro was trampled by blood and fire.

The cities of the Quaffes were razed, scholars were slaughtered, and writing was buried. For empires 2,000 years ago, all they needed was slaves, minions, cannon fodder, and even biological batteries and canned materials.

The diversity of civilizations, what is that? Can it generate electricity or can it be eaten?

By the time the empire entered the reign of the reborn Evan the Great, and became relatively relaxed, the civilization inheritance of the Quuffy people was almost cut off. They only know that they are the lower races of the Empire, living numbly like slaves.

"Our story, Princess Goumea, and the Seven Little Starfish, is the story of the reign of the Empire, and it is not many years from now." Yu Liandao.

"This ancient princess can't get around. What are your plans with the Gumeans lately? If you're planning to meet with the Gumerians in Skyland, it's better to cancel, it's too sensitive. I estimate that for every Gumeian who enters the Celestial Realm, there is at least one group of secret police. In addition, it's really not Princess Gumea, if you don't change this title, you will definitely not be able to get on stage. ”

"Well, then call it Princess Emerald, or Princess Green Star for short."

"You......" Mr. Qi glared at Yu Lian, but he couldn't help but be happy.

There are many green planets in the universe, but when it comes to "emerald" planets, most people's first reaction must be the ancient American star in the Imperial Capital Heavenly Domain.

"Emeralds are emeralds. Anyway, there are so many emerald-like planets in the universe, if the imperial side is still not satisfied, I will go directly to the Cultural Administration Bureau to bet on their melon boss cut! Mr. Qi sneered.

What can Yu Lian say? It can only be said that the great writer is mighty, and after giving Mr. Qi a thumbs up, he continued: "Overall, this is a true story that happened a hundred years ago, and of course, we can process it a little bit. ”

As we all know, Skyland isn't just home to the Tiriro. In fact, the Tirilo people, who were born on that blue planet, and the ancient Americans who were born on that green planet, realized in the age of electromagnetic communication that they were not alone in the universe.

Then, when they first stepped out of the universe, they faced a brutal challenge from their competitors.

Both sides obviously live under the same sun, but they don't seem to want to think about the issue of working together and co-prosperity and coexistence.

In short, after almost half a century of war, the empire finally achieved total victory. Of course, through this war, the Tirero people did forge a martial and virtuous folk culture and a positive and enterprising state system. In a sense, the ancient Americans are really the "benefactors" who helped the empire forge the soul of the country.

So, in order to repay the favor, the Empire drove all the remaining Guemeans out of the green planet and moved to the borders of the Empire.

Then, as the empire expanded, the former frontier became a hinterland, and the ancient Americans had to move to all corners of the universe again and again. Their communities are becoming more and more dispersed, their communities are getting smaller and smaller, and of course their power is getting weaker and weaker.

In the course of this great migration, a young girl who is said to have been the princess of Ancient America, ah no, the princess of the Emerald Star, was displaced to the ocean planet due to some accidents during the migration.

She was poor and sick, and when she was about to die, she collapsed in the corner of the city's harbor and was about to die, but she was saved by a group of small starfish.

The little starfish are not brothers, but a pair of parents with five young children. They live hard but hard, although they feel that they are exhausted just by living, but after all, the whole family is working together, which is the happiest thing.

Then, on the local Emperor's Day, the day the empire descended on the planet, the starfish family finally had a rare meal of crabs, shrimp, shellfish and fish. They are obviously sea creatures, but they can only eat these during this time of the year, and they usually live mainly on algae.

After the children went to sleep, the starfish parents took advantage of the night to go to the beach, hoping to catch the sea to pick up some seafood for the children. They are obviously marine creatures, but this is the only day of the year when they are allowed to go to the beaches around the agricultural area.

However, the closer you get to the city's beach, the more people there are, and the starfish parents go to the remote reef area, find a nest of pike crabs, and also pick up the dying emerald princess.

"We have gained a lot today, this is the blessing of Your Majesty!" Starfish dad said to starfish mom.

"Your Majesty will bless the good." Starfish mom said to starfish dad.

So, the two of them took Princess Green Star home and took care of it.

"Wait, aren't the Quiffies sea creatures? How could the Gumeans go back to their home? Mr. Qi said.

"That was before. The Imperial Government felt that it was difficult to manage so many indigenous people living on the continental shelf under the sea, so they forcibly drove them to the surface. Shanty towns floating on the sea were built with steel and composite materials. Such a house is much stronger than the underwater buildings built by the Quuffy people with coral reefs, and it is a real imperial grace! Anyway, the Quaffy people are an amphibious race, living on the sea and shore for a long time, at most they are easily weak, easy to get sick, and their life span becomes shorter, but they can't die for a while. Yu Lian shrugged.

In this way, Princess Green Star became part of the family of the seven little starfish.

Of course, the Imperial Governor's Mansion has prepared a sea shanty town for the sea race, of course, it is impossible for there to be only starfish, and there are also races that have migrated from other planets, so it is not too inconsistent for multiple Green Star people.

Princess Green Star is very grateful to the little starfish for saving their lives, and after recovering, she quickly threw herself into work. The space in which the family lives is getting narrower, but it seems to be moving in a better direction.

"After a few more years, we can move to a city closer to the sea and buy a house where we can dive." Starfish dad said.

"Yes, the first floor of the house is sunk in the sea, we live. The second floor floats on the water, where the princess lives. Starfish mother said.

Princess is the nickname given to Princess Green Star by the little starfish, which means that she is as beautiful as a princess. The reason why she is called "Princess Green Star" is precisely from this.

Starfish's parents wanted to buy a new house as soon as possible, so they took another job to raise seahorses for the new lord. It was not an ordinary seahorse, but an alien beast that looked like a super seahorse, and it was a phantom beast with psionic energy.

Because it's dangerous, the pay is high.

Because of the high salary, Starfish Father and Starfish Mother were treated as desserts by the lord's seahorse on the tenth day of work.

"Rest assured, they won't have any pain. This is a little bit of the master's heart. "The lord's retainers left the starfish's parents' first month's salary for the little starfish and the green star princess, and then went away contentedly with the smug of the benefactor.

"I'm your mom too! I'll take care of you. The princess said to the remaining five little starfish.

Then, she worked even harder and raised the little starfish as her own children.

Then, the little starfish gradually grew up, and when they saw the increasingly haggard face of Duoduo's mother, they rushed to Wanfen to communicate. In order not to make this mother work so hard, the three eldest starfish brothers decided to go out and look for work.

Big Brother Starfish went to work in the watermelon plantation of Dome Farm. The boss gave a good treatment, at least including food and living without starvation, and also enjoyed a particularly environmentally friendly idyllic life.

Of course, starfish people can't actually afford the heavy work of staying in a dry area for a long time and being exposed to the sun, but the boss said that he "has never seen a starfish who has worked hard to grow watermelons", and gave him an extra five percent of his salary, and the starfish brother began to work here.

The second brother of the starfish went to work in the private seaside estate of a noble lord, where he cultivated and collected rare fish, corals, and natural black pearls, which are the specialties of the local planet.

The pay here is better, and the salary is paid according to the performance. As long as you dive more than 500 times a month, and work for more than half an hour at a depth of less than 3 or 400 meters each time, you can eat two full meals in the morning and evening.

Of course, more needs to be done to get paid for the extra work. Dive more than 40 times a day, you can get a full attendance award at the end of the month, there are additional bonuses for workers with more than 10 monthly performance, and occasionally you can get the leftovers of pearl mussels rewarded by the overseer to cook for your family.

In addition, if there are tourists visiting the estate, they will also have live demonstrations of underwater operations and some dangerous underwater performances. Although it is dangerous, it can also get tips from tourists if it is done well. Although the manor will take away ninety percent, they can always get a little money.

The third brother of the starfish is far from being an adult, but he is favored by a large ship maintenance company. He is not alone in the underage starfish working here. Because only their size can they burrow into some narrow mechanical voids to complete maintenance. Although the machine is very dangerous once it turns, and it can always clip the tentacles of the little starfish, the salary is already 80% of that of an adult starfish laborer.

Although the work of the three brothers is very hard, the starfish family finally sees hope for life.

Isn't it enough to have hope? In this world, only if the whole family can live together, you have to do your best, and it is already a very happy thing.

However, the bad news soon befell the unfortunate family once again.

An all-out war broke out between the Empire and the Alliance, and this was the Second Galactic War recorded in history. The planet's economy, which is dominated by high-end agricultural products and luxury goods, has been hit hard, and the unemployment rate on the planet has begun to rise step by step. The nobles and merchants would rather continue to hire cheap natives of the sea than the people of Tiriro.

In addition, there is also a famous starfish general on the alliance side, who has dealt a heavy blow to the empire on the front line. Although some people are calling for the starfish of the Alliance and the starfish of the Empire to be completely different species, but they just look alike, how can ordinary people with no education accept it?

As a result, this planet, which was supposed to be the home of starfish, began to have an atmosphere of hatred for starfish.

One day, after finishing a day's planting, the starfish was about to go home with the watermelons given by the farmer, but was stopped by the Imperial police patrolling the road and wanted to be arrested for theft.

On this planet, the watermelons grown on ecological farms are high-end agricultural products, which are not affordable for ordinary starfish.

No matter how Big Brother Starfish explained to the other party, the other party didn't believe it. One of the military police officers violently knocked the boss to the ground with a stun gun. The boss, who had been working all day, was already very weak at this time, and the sudden electric shock caused internal organs paralysis and respiratory failure.

The boss shouted "Mother Princess" with his last strength, and then died.

After hearing the bad news, the second brother of Haixing hurriedly asked for leave, and the supervisor said that he would not be able to get the full attendance bonus when he went home now, but the former could only accept it.

However, as soon as he left the gate of the aristocratic lord's manor, he was stopped by a group of workers of other races. The second brother of the starfish recognized that these were already his colleagues, but they were laid off by the aristocratic lord due to the economic downturn.

"It's these starfish that have caused us to lose our jobs!"

"If it weren't for you starfish, everything would be fine!"

The man who lost his mind grabbed the starfish, punched and kicked him, and poured strong acid on him, and the second brother of the starfish died in such pain.

What he didn't know was that before that, his youngest brother had also died.

Because the war on the front line is becoming more and more intense, there are often various types of ships that need to be maintained, and the workload is getting bigger and bigger. The third brother of the starfish, who had been working hard for more than ten hours in a row, fell asleep groggily when he entered the belly of the ship for engine maintenance. Ten minutes later, the engine started again and completely vaporized the child's body.

After learning the news that her three "sons" had all died, Princess Green Star went to a hairdresser in the town owned by an Imperial man, untied her headband, and hung down a hair that seemed to be woven in the moonlight.

"What beautiful hair!" The Imperial Barber shouted.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

"An Imperial Golden Dragon."

"Cut it."

She bought her two youngest starfish sisters their favorite fish, shrimp and algae cakes, as well as new velvet clothes and rag dolls, and bought herself a small cup of hot chocolate.

"Mother Princess, what day is it?"

"Good day. We would go to a better home. ”

"Then are we going to wait for our brothers to come back?"

"They have gone there and waited for us. Eat cuddles, put on new clothes, and we're going together! ”

"Yay!"

The children fell asleep forever with a vision of a new life.

Princess Green Star set the house on fire, letting the fire engulf the home that had been warm for her for more than ten years, and let the fire slowly spread to the entire surrounding area of the shantytown. She burst out of the flames and rushed towards the Imperial soldiers.

"This is the story of Princess Green Star and the seven little starfish, what do you think?" Yu Lian blinked his eyes and said to Mr. Qi.
