"Mr. Dantès, Lord Tata, please ......" In just over a minute, the robot guard suddenly came to life again, and made a gesture of touching his chest with one hand.

“…… Go, you are a clone pilot and you can go in, I can't ......" Hong Tao was just about to take a step, feeling that it was too lonely to go to Longtan alone, and he turned around and wanted to call Yuri to pad his back together. But instead of catching up, he took a step back, a little farther away from the golden area on the ground.

Your Excellency Tata, as the name suggests, is indeed like a tower, the Black Tower!

If he didn't have 400 catties of Hong Tao who dared to pull out his eyeballs as bubbles, that big ass would be half a meter wide when he was sitting. But it's not fat, it's strong, it's full of muscles, and it's more like a robot than a robot guard. Hong Tao stood in front of him as if he was facing a space mecha, which was very oppressive.

"Edmund. Dontes, you've wandered far away, do you need any help from me" Compared to the huge muscular body, Tata's voice was a little too soft, and the softness made Hong Tao get goosebumps all over his body.

"Dear Lord Tata, as you expected, it has been five years since I came out of my hometown to explore the mysteries of the universe. The Federation, the Empire, and the Republic have all been, but never felt such a strong sense of belonging until they entered your space station......"

Since he planned to stay here for a long time, Hong Tao could no longer put on the arrogance of a clone pilot, and even if he would not be blamed for doing so, he would not get the slightest favor.

There are people in the court who are easy to do, this is a proverb in the earth age, and in the new Eden world, Hong Tao plans to try if it still works. If you can win the favor of the owner or manager of the space station, you will have to live a more comfortable life in the future.

"Oh, why" The first trick seemed to work, and Tata lifted his upper body slightly from the back of his chair.

"Taste! No space station is as pleasing to the eye as yours, from the clothes to the architecture, everything exudes a sense of nobility. What Hong Tao said is definitely the opposite, there is indeed something in this space station that makes him excited, but it is by no means taste.

The muscular giant itself and the buildings are simply vulgar, even if they desperately lean towards the noble, they can give people the feeling of being like an upstart, a nouveau riche with thick fingers on his neck.

It is precisely because of these appearances that Hong Tao deliberately said so. Human beings have a nature, what they lack and think. The real aristocracy has no shortage of power and money, so they will rely on culture, and they are eager to turn their homes into museums, such as those seen on the first star of the Federation.

People who are not from aristocratic backgrounds but have power and wealth in their hands, no matter how much power and wealth they have, will always feel that others look down on them behind their backs, so they will try their best to learn the lifestyle of the nobility, such as this Lord Tata.

But some things are habits that have been cultivated since childhood, and they have been integrated into every cell in the body, and they will be brought out inadvertently in every gesture, but they are by no means something that can be imitated casually, even if it is similar on the surface, it always feels like something short in the eyes of people who know how to do it.

Ever since Hong Tao saw this Lord Tata, he deeply felt that he was very different from the powerful people he had seen on the capital planet, and he couldn't say what the difference was, anyway, it was awkward.

There is only one way to deal with this kind of person, which is to make yourself disgusting and want to vomit, how to flatter, how to say shamelessly, and shoot hard when you are round. But be sure to shoot on time, otherwise it will not only fail to work but also cause the other party's disgust, usually this kind of person is cautious and easy to hold grudges.

"Mr. Dantès is very polite, but I do have a love for art, and I am a little careful with everything from architecture to clothing. You can see that you are also a gentleman of great taste, and if we have time, we can communicate more, and the palace of Tata is always ready to welcome you to visit. ”

The second trick also worked, and Tata's reaction was still quite decent, but the muscles on his face kept trembling, and even if he played with restraint, his smile was still revealed. A sincere invitation was also issued, whether in the Earth Age or the New Eden World, it was a high courtesy to invite people to your home.

"Call me Edmund...... As a guest, I also brought a small gift, please be sure to accept it, as a little decoration to add to this palatial palace. ”

Just shooting the master comfortably is still far from Hong Tao's goal, he easily doesn't work so hard to shoot others, but as long as he shoots, he must shoot out of the realm. Anyway, it's just a one-time release, so why not make the ending more perfect.

"It's ......" saw what was in the virtual image, and Tata had already stood up from his seat. Looking at his posture, if it is not a virtual image in front of him, he has to pounce on it and hug it.

"Your eyesight is very accurate, it's alloy wood, which I found on a planet in an unknown galaxy after I traveled through a wormhole. It's been in the cabin all along, and now it's finally ready to be put to good use. ”

In the virtual image, there is a gray tree trunk-like object, four or five meters long and more than two meters thick. In fact, it is a section of tree trunk, which the New Edenians call alloy wood. This plant is not too rare, and grows in patches on the surface of some planets.

It is an anaerobic plant that absorbs metallic elements from rocky soil and converts them into parts of the body through a series of chemical reactions, like a living smelting furnace.

As a result, its trunk becomes a semi-metallic structure, which, in addition to being very hard, has a beautiful texture and an attractive dull yellow sheen after removing the organic matter, and is often used by the New Edenians to make various furniture and decorations.

However, the growth period of this tree is very, very long, and the requirements for the metal content and type of metal elements on the surface of the planet and the intensity of cosmic rays are also very high. Under normal circumstances, it can only grow to the thickness of the mouth of the bowl in 100 years, and if you want to get relatively large wood, you have to look for those big trees that are lucky enough to survive for more than a few thousand years.

But this kind of big tree is cut down one less tree, and it is too late to replant, so the alloy wood material is not unusual, but the large piece of alloy wood is very rare. The price, no score. The little rich and the small and expensive can't afford it at all, and the big rich and expensive want to buy it but don't have it.

Hong Tao's alloy wood was found in the hibernator wormhole galaxy, and its root system spread all over a radius of dozens of kilometers, starving all the surrounding people to death, so that it was lucky to grow up to such a figure. As a result, Hong Tao was made into three pieces with a laser wearing a mecha, the bottom one was kept to continue to grow, and the upper two sections were requisitioned.

This time, the mining barge that came out without a big belly was replaced by a mole, and it can no longer be loaded with ore raw materials for money, and these two sections of trunks are the start-up capital. If you put them on the market, you can exchange a section of trunk for at least one mining barge, and if you don't find a suitable buyer too slowly, the price can increase several times.

"You're here to talk to me about the deal" Knowing the details of the gift, the smile on Tata's face slowly dissipated, and he sat back on his throne that looked like alloy wood, but was actually an imitation of synthetic materials, and his voice was not so soft.

"No, it's a gift, I gave your gift to Lord Tata......" Hong Tao manipulated the manipulation on the main brain with him a few times, and handed it over again.

“…… Canedi II has decreed that officials of the kingdom are not allowed to accept expensive gifts at will! Tata had to lift his upper body again and look closely at the words on the virtual image, and the muscles in his face began to twitch again. This is a contract of assignment by Edmond. Dantès will transfer a piece of alloy wood to himself for zero price!

"Oh, I was negligent, please ...... later" Hong Tao was stunned when he heard this, this grandson built the palace so extravagantly, and he was actually afraid of accepting bribes, it was really a typical example of wanting to eat mutton and being afraid of fat. But it doesn't matter, we also have a full set of plans for dealing with people who are both reactionary and afraid of death.

“…… In less than two minutes, a new contract appeared on the virtual image, and Tata scratched his cheeks.

"Yes, in view of Your Excellency's understanding of art, I would like to entrust you with the processing of this piece of alloy wood, and the style and use are all up to you." Hong Tao clicked his lips, I really want to say that you are a waste. I brought the meat to my mouth, and I didn't know how to open my mouth to hold it, so I had to wait for me to feed it!
