Chapter 1: A Letter from Far Away

Next Chapter

Noah's system, Aydin, the city of Wittcari.

The weather is just right, the sea is turquoise and clear under the bright sun, and a few seabirds quickly skim the water, stop on the cliff by the sea, gently peck at their beautiful feathers, and occasionally call a few times, showing their presence to the world.

A small flying machine flew through the air and stopped on the tarmac in front of a seaside villa, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with meticulously combed hair stepped down from the aircraft and frowned slightly as he looked at the villa not far away.

He stepped forward, stopped at the door of the villa, and connected the personal terminal on his wrist with the villa's intelligence.

After a while, a sweet female voice sounded: "Welcome, Mr. Valen, the master has received news of your visit, please go to the tearoom and sit down for a while, the master will be here soon." ”

Mr. Valen looked serious, walked into the villa, and followed the intelligent guidance of the villa to the tea room, took a sip of the tea from the housekeeping robot, and put it on the table.

It wasn't the first time he'd visited the reclusive mechanic, but it was probably the last.

- His boss said that if this invitation is still unsuccessful, then there is no need to invite again.

To be honest, Mr. Valen has a lot of criticism of the mechanic, because although she has some talent, she is far from talented, and he doesn't know why the head of the house has repeatedly ordered to invite the mechanic to join their Potter family - yes, repeatedly, because every time she answers no!

"Proud little guy ......"

Mr. Valen grunted inwardly, but good manners kept him from showing it.

Five minutes later, the owner of this villa was belated.

"Miss Lin, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting." Mr. Warren got up and said politely.

His visit was suddenly decided by the head of the family, and he did not make an appointment with Lin Shu beforehand.

Lin Shu is a woman in her forties, this age has only recently reached adulthood in the popular human race, she has a mediocre appearance, does not smile, and has the usual calmness and stubbornness of a mechanic, and does not look like a good talker.

"It's okay."

In response to Mr. Valen's apology, she just said three words dryly, and then got straight to the point, "Is there something wrong with your sudden visit?" ”

Valen has dealt with her many times, and he also understands this person's character, so he said neatly: "It's still that matter, the head of the family hopes that you can think about it again, as far as I know, your current financial source is mainly the star network, although it is free and convenient, but it will take a long time to save up the tuition fees for the fourth-level mechanic training class, if you join the Potter family, with the attention of the family master, you will definitely prepare a series of follow-up study plans for you......"

He gushed endlessly, his mouth was like a river, in fact, these words had been said many times in the past, but none of them convinced Lin Shu.

Lin Shu's expression was very serious, and she didn't show a disapproving or perfunctory look just because she would memorize these words, which made Valen feel a little comforted.

Valen said some new "benefits", but Lin Shu was not interested, and waited for him to finish before replying: "Thank you for the invitation, in fact, due to some personal reasons, I will leave Ayding Star in the near future, and I will not accept your family's good intentions." ”

Hearing this answer, Valen was a little stunned - this was the first time he had heard that Lin Shu was leaving.

"Where are you going?" Valen was a little curious, "Is it the Violet Galaxy?" ”

The Ziwei Galaxy is the third largest super galaxy in the entire Zhongzhou Star Field, with many institutions of higher learning and professional scientific research institutions, and is also well-known in the entire Galactic Alliance.

Lin Shu smiled slightly and shook his head, "No, I'm going to leave the Zhongzhou Star Domain for a while." ”

Leave Zhongzhou Star Field!

Valen was even more curious, but his upbringing did not allow him to continue to inquire about other people's privacy, so he had to regretfully say, "Then I hope you have a good trip and all the best." ”

Lin Shu nodded, "Thank you." ”

The invitation failed again, and Valen sighed in his heart, he felt a little sorry for Lin Shu.

The Potter family is the largest family in Aydin, although it is nothing in the entire Galactic Alliance, but it is much stronger than ordinary interstellar citizens, although Lin Shu has some talent, but he has no background, if he wants to go down the road of mechanics, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

- And maybe the Potter family will stumble on her because Lin Shu has repeatedly refused to give her face.

At the end of the day, though...... It's none of his business anymore.

Valen walked out of Lin Shu's seaside villa and was about to board the aircraft when suddenly another small flying machine landed—he could see clearly that it was the delivery ship of the Star Transport Company.

"It must be the mechanical parts that Lin Shu bought."

In this day and age, long-range material transmission technology has been used, but it is not widely used, and the vast majority of civilians still rely on transport ships to transport goods and buy goods online.

Of course, there are also many people who are able to use the material transfer device and refuse to use it, believing that this technology still has drawbacks, or some other psychological reasons.

Valen retracted his gaze, boarded the aircraft, and quickly flew away from the seaside villa.

A robot walked down from the delivery spaceship, holding a standard-size delivery box in its hand, and came to the door of the villa: "Hello, you have a courier, please check." ”

The villa intelligently scans the code and encryption lock on the express box, and after confirming that the recipient is the owner, it will enter the dynamic password just received into the robot's signature machine, and at the same time open the special channel for express delivery, so that the robot can put the express delivery into it.

The robot boarded the spacecraft after delivering the delivery, and the delivery spacecraft quickly left.

At this time, the people in the villa had also taken out the courier.

"Come and unpack the courier." A housekeeping robot read the address on the courier and said to Lin Shu on the side.

This housekeeping robot is not the same as the one that poured tea for Valen before, its model is older, it is the "Nishizawa-K12" released by Cecil more than ten years ago, and the price is low, and basically every interstellar citizen can afford it.

"From ...... Chaos Starfield? ”

This word caught the attention of Lin Shu—or should I say Qin Sui.

Qin Sui has been settled in Ayding Star for four years, and "Lin Shu" is the identity she has used in the past four years.

She frowned, walked over to the robot and looked at the delivery box - the shipping address: Lorenta Star Noan City, District 4 of the Chaos Star Field.

"Looks like you're in trouble."

The robot sighed, its emotions were much richer than the average robot - even not like a robot at all.

Qin Sui looked at the express box and didn't open it for a long time.

It was the first time she had received something from the Chaos Universe since her "old club" hit the streets, and she had a hunch that it would shatter her peaceful life......

"Second brother, guess who sent the courier?" Qin Sui looked at the robot, "Which of our old acquaintances?" ”

"Who knows?" The robot spread its hands, "You can just take it apart and see if you can." ”

Qin Sui was not very happy: "I've already washed my hands!" Why is there so much going on......"

"Don't talk about washing your hands, you've been swaggering around the market with a fake face all day long, and you've already violated the laws of the Alliance...... "The robot rubbed her head, "When you can see people with your real face, I'll talk about it again." ”

Qin Sui slapped away the robot's hand and began to unpack the express.

She used to walk in the dark, but now she finally got a new life, basking in the sun every day to dismantle the machinery and play games, the days are not too beautiful, even if someone comes to bother her, she will not go.

She didn't have a choice before, but now she wants to be a good person.

The courier box opened and there was only a letter inside.

The moment they saw the envelope, Qin Sui and the robot's eyes froze—they all knew what the envelope meant, and the black pattern in the center was the logo of their old club.

The robot picked up the letter and checked it, and then handed it to Qin Sui, "It's not the same, it is estimated that the manufacturer who smoked the brain printed it casually." ”

Their old club, "Soul Leech", is the most notorious dark organization in the interstellar, undertaking everything from murder and arson, terrorist attacks to subverting the regime, etc., and was killed by many major forces ten years ago - since then Qin Sui has also been honorably laid off.

This matter has been widely publicized by the entire Galactic Alliance, and basically everyone knows the symbol of the soul leech.

Some of the second-year teenagers just like this dark tone, so there are also many unscrupulous manufacturers who use this logo indiscriminately - anyway, no one has sued them for infringement.

This is also the reason why this letter can pass through the courier security check, and before the death of the soul leech, the items with this symbol were listed as high-risk items by most countries.

"Do you believe that?"

The indiscriminate envelope was nothing, and it would be very good to send it to the homes of the two former members of the two soul leeches.

The envelope was opened, and among them was a delicate invitation and a thin piece of stationery.

Qin Sui handed the invitation to the robot, opened the letter first, and swept to Mu Xuan at the first glance.

"It's him ......"

A figure appeared in her mind, she didn't expect him to survive too, it was really ...... The scourge is a thousand years old!

At this time, the robot said: "It is an invitation from the Hall family in the fifth region of the Chaos Star Field, on October 25 this year, the daughter of the head of the Hall family came of age and invited us to attend her coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"Hall Family ......"

Qin Sui had already finished reading the contents of the letter paper at this time, casually gave the letter to the robot, took the invitation and glanced at it before throwing it aside.

Sitting down at the table, drinking the tea just delivered by the housekeeping robot, Qin Sui's mood was not calm.

The Hall family is the most famous apothecary family in the Chaos Star Field, and there are several S-class pharmacists in the family, and even the current head of the family, Sharp Hall, is an SS-level pharmacist!

And what she needs most now is an extremely rare S-class elixir - life resuscitation......

The robot sat down across from her, "You want to go?" ”

Qin Sui glanced at him and was silent—isn't this nonsense!

"Mu Xuan suddenly sent such a letter, which means that he knows that I am still alive, and he has calculated that we must need life resuscitation medicine." "He's eyeing us, and we know little about him." ”

"Xiaosui, you'd better not go."

Qin Sui furrowed her eyebrows, although her expression was still indifferent, it was not difficult to see the irritability in her eyebrows, "How did he know that we were here?" I've long since erased all traces! ”

What made her irritable was not only the life resuscitation potion, but also Mu Xuan's means and purpose.

Few people know that Qin Sui is a top hacker, and he has forged many perfect identities for himself as early as when he first entered the Zhongzhou Star Domain, and it is impossible for anyone other than the star network master Qilin to find out!

How did Mu Xuan know?

What purpose did he use the life resuscitation potion to lure her to the chaotic star field?

After being silent for a long time, Qin Sui said, "I'm going." ”

The robot disagreed, "Since you want to live a peaceful and free life, don't meddle in these dark things anymore...... Otherwise, you will never really get rid of these strife. ”

"Yang Lie, I want you to come back to life and really live, not like now - live as a robot...... Qin Sui stared at the robot seriously, "I have no relatives in this world, I need you, I hope you can live well." ”

She stood up and picked up the invitation, "I need a life-saving potion, it's the only one that can save you." ”

The robot, that is, Yang Lie, looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.

They have been dependent on each other for many years, if it weren't for Xiao Sui, he would have died in the soul leech a long time ago, even if he can only survive in this weird form now, he doesn't care.

However, he knew that he couldn't stop Xiao Sui at all.

Ever, no one can stop what Qin Sui wants to do, he can't, big brother...... No, it doesn't.

"Okay." Yang Lie compromised, "But you can't take risks, although life resuscitation potions are rare, they are not only available to the Hall family, we are all in our twenties, and we will have time to find it slowly in the future, right?" ”

Qin Sui smiled at this time, "Of course, I'm dead, and the life recovery potion is useless." ”

No one could break the power she had inflicted on Yang Lie's body, not even herself.

The two agreed, but the atmosphere in the villa could never return to the previous lazy idleness, and they both knew that they were going to enter that dark world again.

Before receiving the letter, Qin Sui had already planned to move—this matter was also related to Mr. Valen and the Potter family.

The reason why the head of the Potter family has repeatedly sent people to invite her to be a mechanic who is only a third-level on the surface is because three years ago, by chance, she saved him once before he became the head of the family, and later he was crowned the head of the Potter family, so he planned to repay the favor.

- Although Qin Sui didn't think that with this family master's style, he would be grateful to her for her help that day, it was more likely that he hoped to use her to achieve some goals.

Qin Sui had already decided to "retire to the rivers and lakes", and was too lazy to get involved in family disputes, so he repeatedly refused.

But the new head of the Potter family is not a man of big hearts.

After discovering some small moves of the Potter family, Qin Sui decided to move and live on another planet, anyway, there are thousands of planets in the Galactic Alliance, just choose a habitable star!

Before Mr. Valen came, her application for emigration had been approved, and this application was approved by the Noah's government, and the Potter family couldn't stretch that long, so she would directly use this as an excuse to reject Valen.

Standing at the window, looking at the beautiful blue sea and blue sky not far away, Qin Sui was a little difficult to describe his mood-

Nostalgia?

It seems to be a little, but it's not much, she has long been used to being at ease with what happens, and "reluctance" is too luxurious for her.

Regretful?

It is also reasonable to say that a peaceful life may be gone forever, and she is indeed sorry.

But more, perhaps, it is helplessness.

However, in life, it is inevitable that you can't help yourself, and you really don't have to be sentimental - ahead, there will always be something new and what you want.

Rushing to chase and never be satisfied, this is life.
