Chapter 145: Cloud City, the capital of business
Tuoba Yu'er didn't care about Bai Xiaochun, who almost choked to death, and continued to ask, "That Qingxin sister knows?" ”
Bai Xiaochun felt that he shouldn't be as knowledgeable as this kind of little kid, and tried his best to calm his breath, as if he had nothing to do, he squeezed out a very reluctant smile, and replied, "I don't know about this, maybe?" ”
Tuoba Yu'er didn't get the answer she wanted, and couldn't help but become more and more suspicious of his "fiery eyes", and had no interest in saying anything to him, so she lowered her head and ate the meatballs on her plate intently.
Bai Xiaochun's eyes narrowed, and he realized for the first time that Tuoba Yu'er, this little girl, was not simple at all.
……
The simple welcome banquet ended, and along the way, Yun Xiaotian and others talked as they walked.
As they walked, they walked to the convenience store downstairs in the dormitory and sat down.
"That man, it seems to be the captain of the Taihe Star Mansion Courtyard, what is his name Wu Jian, Qingxin, are you very familiar with him?" Bai Xiaochun asked suddenly.
Qingxin was suddenly asked, hesitated slightly, and replied ominously, "It's not too familiar, it's just a world friend." ”
"World friends?" Bai Xiaochun's small eyes narrowed again, and she looked smaller and smaller.
"As far as I know, the Wu Jian family is not an ordinary family, and the power of the Wu family in Taihe Star is not at all smaller than Long Fei'er and their Long family."
"Since you are world friends, then you must have been born extraordinary, right? Then why haven't I heard of such a Qing family, whether it's Hailian Star or Taihe Star? ”
Ever since Bai Xiaochun met Qingxin during the entrance test, the doubts in his heart have not been reduced, even until now, after he came back, he did countless investigations, but he still found nothing about her origin.
It was as if she had just popped up overnight.
Now that he had the man named Wu Jian as an introduction, he immediately said all the doubts in his heart.
Waiting for Qingxin's answer.
"Forehead ......" Ai Bingtai was asked by Bai Xiaochun, and he was immediately hesitant, his heart turned over the river and the sea, and he organized his speech.
At this moment, Long Fei'er suddenly interrupted her, unexpectedly angry, and said to Bai Xiaochun: "You are a big man, what are you doing so much gossip, what is there to inquire about other people's private affairs, does this have anything to do with our discussion!?" ”
"Have you been under-smoking lately?"
Before Long Fei'er could call, Bai Xiaochun seemed to know it a long time ago, twisting his body, which was already quite thin and still slightly rounded than before, and flashed to the side, narrowly avoiding Long Fei'er's show fist.
"Auntie, can you not be so violent, so many people, I want to save face." Bai Xiaochun's white and tender round face turned red, and she complained helplessly.
Long Fei'er didn't reply yet, but Long Yuxuan on the side suddenly became energetic, and said with a smile: "You call my little niece aunt, I'm not your grandfather!" ”
"Come, good grandson, shout grandpa to listen!"
"Haha......"
As soon as Long Yuxuan said this, except for Bai Xiaochun, whose face was red and purple, everyone else laughed, and even Ai Bingtai, who was originally hesitant in his heart, also smiled.
Long Fei'er also held back a smile, and scolded with a slight smile: "Give me a serious point, and continue to return to the clues on the paper." ”
"We are going to unify our opinions now, and everyone will write the final guess in the palm of our hands, and then discuss it when everyone's opinions come out."
After Long Fei'er finished speaking, she borrowed a pen from the convenience store owner and sat around in turn.
"That's it!"
The seven stretched out their palms and looked at their answers.
Tuoba Yu'er, with clean palms, not ashamed at all, looked at the others with a smile.
From beginning to end, she didn't think much about this at all, who called her small?
Lan Xin and Long Yuxuan, but they seemed to have a heart in their hearts, and they all wrote a "I don't know", looked at each other and smiled bitterly, quite a little sympathetic.
Ai Bingtai's answer is much longer, "Northern Plains Province, deep in the Guyu Mountain Range, the secret realm of the Star Fish Cloud Palace. ”
Ai Bingtai saw the answers of Long Fei'er and the others, but he hurriedly took his hand back.
Yun Xiaotian, Long Fei'er, and Bai Xiaochun's answers turned out to be exactly the same, "Shangdu Cloud City".
Long Fei'er asked, "Qingxin, do you have anything to say?" ”
"It's okay, maybe we're all wrong."
It dawned on Ai Bingtai that the place she was writing had been something he had accidentally seen from her grandfather's collection, and she didn't think there was anything, but this place might be much more secret than she had imagined.
And Mr. Xia Dan, how could he put an ordinary exchange competition venue in such an important and secret place, let alone just to hide a clue.
After all, even Long Fei'er and the natives of the Sea Lotus Star didn't know that there was such a place.
"Uh......, when I was flipping through a book casually, I saw such a place, which looks similar to the image, and it shouldn't look like this place." Qingxin's words were crisp, and he didn't insist on his answer, explaining to everyone.
Everyone present was a human spirit, and from the noon banquet, I knew that she was obviously inconvenient to say something, hiding it from everyone, and then I knew what she meant.
Long Fei'er knew it in her heart, laughed, and said, "That's it, it's nothing." Xiaotian, why do you think it's Shangdu Cloud City? ”
Yun Xiaotian stared at Ai Bingtai's palm just now, and then came back to his senses, and then replied: "Well, the clues we got were randomly assigned, which means that the clues we held in our hands may also be obtained by Taihexing's classmates." ”
"But the topic of our Helian Star Mansion is naturally impossible to be too difficult for friends who come from afar, so the location on the picture must be a big place that is particularly famous and easy to come out of our Helian Star."
"On the picture, there are clouds and cities, and it is obvious that the allusion should be to the cloud city of Shangdu."
"Hmm." Long Fei'er nodded, and the others were also thoughtful.
"What about you?" Long Fei'er looked at Bai Xiaochun and asked.
"Same!"
Bai Xiaochun felt that she had just been bullied by the two people of the Long family, where would she give her a good face at this time, don't look around.
Tuoba Yu'er, who saw that he had nothing to do on the side, couldn't help but secretly say in his heart that he was stingy.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and Long Fei'er said loudly: "My opinion is similar, so I won't repeat it." ”
"In that case, let's all go back and get ready."
"Our next stop is Shangdu Cloud City."
Long Fei'er asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, agreeing with Long Fei'er's decision.
……
Long Fei'er, Ai Bingtai, Tuoba Yu'er all the way, Lan Xin and Long Yuxuan, together slowly walked out of the sight of Bai Xiaochun and Yun Xiaotian who stayed in place.
"Everyone is gone, what else to see!"
"I'll see you again tomorrow anyway, as for it?"
Bai Xiaochun leaned next to Yun Xiaotian, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to go upstairs.
Yun Xiaotian woke up and sighed.
Crushing on this kind of thing is like poison, the most bitter.
However, there are always fools who drink to quench their thirst, but they still feel happy.
……
……
As one of the top cities on the planet Helen, the star capital of the Federal District and the commercial capital belonging to the Vess Commercial Federation, there are direct passenger air ships flying every day.
Yun Xiaotian and the others had been waiting in the cabin for a long time, and Long Fei'er was late, which was not like her usual style.
Looking at Long Fei'er, who was hurrying over, Yun Xiaotian asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I met the captains of other teams on the way here, and they want to exchange clues and information with us." Long Fei'er hurriedly sat down next to Ai Bingtai, and thought about Yun Xiaotian to explain.
"I gave them our clues, and they gave me clues."
"You don't blame me for making a decision, do you?" Although Long Fei'er said so, she didn't apologize at all, and she didn't take it too seriously.
"If they want it, they will give it to them, and it won't be of much use if they get it anyway."
Bai Xiaochun leaned comfortably on the soft seat, originally dozing off with his eyes closed, but now he opened his eyes, and he didn't care about it.
"If you just rely on piecing together clues like this, you can gain something, then you look down on Director Xia Dan too much."
"Let's just follow this clue and go on."
"I'll sleep for a while, and call me when it's time."
Bai Xiaochun yawned and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.
"Do you want to see it?"
Long Fei'er handed the clues she had written down to the others in turn, allowing them to circulate them.
Yun Xiaotian took it in his hand, and saw that on the white paper, a green-haired turtle was carrying a boulder, and the boulder was engraved with the words "Qianyu reversed".
This clue has nothing to do with what they have gotten, just like Bai Xiaochun said, it will not have any effect on them, but if they are trapped in it, they may add irrelevant interference out of thin air.
An episode passed quickly, and no one paid much attention to it.
Just when Yun Xiaotian and the others took the first step and boarded the empty ship heading to the Shangdu Cloud City.
From all over the world, teams from different schools are still meditating, reading materials from all over the world, and some have also found their own clues and possible answers, and embarked on the road of adventure and treasure hunting.
……
Director Xia Dan stayed in his laboratory as always, soaking instant noodles, humming a song, and browsing the latest progress of the teams that secretly followed their teaching.
In addition to experiments and research, she rarely entertains, and it is rare for such little guys to send them to the door, so she naturally refuses to let them go, and she is already ready to fiddle with them.
……
The young boys were racking their brains for their competition, but the teachers from various schools were leisurely at this time, holding a tea party in Vice Dean Liu's garden.
The distance is long, and even acquaintances often do not see each other for years or even more than ten years, and there is an opportunity to have a lot to talk about with each other.
A female teacher from the Taihe Star Mansion Courtyard sat opposite Vice Dean Liu and said loudly: "Aunt Liu, is it okay to let Sister Xia Dan play like this?" ”
When Aunt Liu heard this, she smiled and said: "It's just a game, is it that when you are in other schools, it's just a game of knives, guns, sticks, and sticks, so let her have a good time." ”
Vice Dean Liu is not spoiled by Teacher Xia Dan, and the inter-school exchanges between the top universities of the Terran Federation, as long as she can have fun, it doesn't matter
Vice President Liu let out a long sigh and said, "After all, she has paid more than anyone else. ”
"If we can't find our way home, she's running out of time."
The female teacher knew what Aunt Liu meant, and when she thought of this, she was also stunned for a while, and said with relief: "It's okay, I believe she will be able to wait for that time." ”
The female teacher then asked, "Sister Lan still has no news?" ”
Vice President Liu groaned slightly, his face was sad, and he sighed: "No, there is no clue at all." ”
"How can this be, Sister Lan's strength is not inferior to you and me, what happened, how could it disappear without a trace overnight!"
Aunt Liu shook her head and didn't say anything.
Vice Dean Liu looked at the woman in front of him, although he believed her, he didn't dare to tell her his conjecture and the clues he had recently gotten.
As she said, the person who can silently make Sister Lan disappear in her mouth can naturally make her disappear as well, and Vice Dean Liu doesn't want her to be involved in this matter.
In recent years, Vice President Liu has hardly left the Xingfu Courtyard, and even Xingdu rarely goes, just to avoid being accidentally murdered.
Although she wasn't sure who it was, there weren't too many people who could do it on the Terran Federation's Sea Lotus Star.
Whoever it is, it's not something she can provoke.
……
Yun Xiaotian chose a position by the window, and there was no sleepiness along the way, and he kept looking at the mountains and dense forests under the thousands of feet, and only a few times could he occasionally see one or two towns.
The star is too big for humans to set foot in the places they control, less than one percent.
Although through a dense and powerful air defense system, it controls the outer space of Neptune, and can barely resist the invasion from the Luo and Zerg.
But just the original threat within the Sea Lotus Star has already made the Terrans on the Sea Lotus Star stagnant.
Although the population is growing rapidly and the population is growing faster and faster, the pace of the Terrans on the Sea Lotus Star to open up new territories has not made progress at the same rate.
Since the sixth great development of the Terran Federation, it has been declared bankrupt due to the joint resistance of many powerful beasts, and many newly built cities have been razed to the ground.
Now the Helian Star Human Race Federal Government has no choice but to adopt the method of gradually expanding outward from the cities at all levels that have been settled, and gradually encroaching on the territory of the surrounding alien beasts.
It's just that this is too slow, and a small beast tide is enough to ruin the efforts of several generations.
Yun Xiaotian looked at the empty ship, as if the endless forests, seas, mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but sigh for the blue wisps of the ancestors, it was their selfless and helpless efforts that exchanged for their current comfortable life.
Cities are being built bit by bit.
Only then can there be such an incomparably prosperous metropolis as Xingdu and Shangdu.
Xingdu, located in the middle of the Middle Continent.
And the Shangdu they went to was located in the southeast of Zhonglu, not far from the Haitie City where Yun Xiaotian used to be, but it was a long way from the Xingdu, and even if it was the fastest empty ship, it would take the next day to arrive.
The scenery outside the window was getting darker and darker, like the lights of an uninhabited settlement, and through the clouds, it was almost impossible to see anything.
Yun Xiaotian retracted his gaze and slowly closed the metal baffle.
Forgetting to glance at Ai Bingtai who was asleep, he leaned back on the soft chair and closed his eyes.
