Chapter 176: The World of Freedom

"Rumors about the Controlling Body? What rumors? Hearing that Lu Youfei was the focus of attention, Andor finally stopped being his star card, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"You really don't know anything about the Divine Guard?" Lu Youfei slowly hugged his hands in front of his chest.

"I really don't know! Didn't I tell you several times? Amdo looked at Lu Youfei in puzzlement, becoming a little verbose.

"What's the use of telling me several times? That doesn't prove that you're telling the truth! Lu Youfei frowned tangledly. You told me the other day, where are you from? ”

"Manati! No way? Miss Lu, I'm asking you about body control! ”

"I know, you let me make sure of something first!" Lu Youfei's expression was grim, and he said at a faster pace: "Amdo, don't you have a place like the extrastellar office of the Divine Health Bureau in Manati?" ”

"I don't know."

"Aren't you from Manati? How could you not know such a thing? ”

"I told you a long time ago that I came out after graduating from public school. Don't say that Manati has any of the things you said, even if there is, I can't know! ”

"Why?"

"I haven't been to Night Moon City at all, how can I know these things. No, I've been there once! It was the one that flew out of the space port of Monati. ”

"You're ......, it's really good!" The corners of Lu Youfei's mouth twitched slightly. "What activities did you participate in when you were in public school, or did you join any groups?"

"No, Miss Lu Youfei, what do you want to ask? Can we not go around in circles like this? Hmph, my life is about to be saved, I really don't know what else you have to scruple about! Alas! You guys from the institute are always so weird! Andor shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"Who do you say is weird?" Lu Youfei turned his head unhappily and glared at him.

"You say you're not eccentric? It's so good that I'm asking about the body control, why do you say you're asking me these questions? What other groups have you been a member of? Do you still suspect that I'm a pirate? Amdo leaned on the back of his chair in annoyance, and glanced at Lu Youfei with a solemn face.

"This thing I'm going to talk about is very important and extremely dangerous, and I have to be sure of something before I can tell you." Lu Youfei did not avoid the questioning gaze cast by Amdo in the slightest, and raised his head to look at him fixedly.

"Hehe...... it's been such a big circle. Don't you just want to say that I don't deserve your trust! Andor's body slid back down the back of his chair.

"It's not a matter of believing it or not, it's not as simple as that! I ask you, when you were in school. Have you ever been a member of a group, or something like that? ”

"Nope! I'm not a good learner like this, and I don't have a family background. Not to mention those lively teams, they are the school health teams that no one wants to go to. Hmph, no one introduced me to join! Amdo seemed to be particularly angry when he mentioned this. Hands on the chair, constantly flapping.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's the first time I've heard that there are any additional requirements for joining the labor team of a public school! Lu Youfei stared at Amdo's every move seriously. It seems that he is afraid to let go of anything suspicious.

"Cut! You haven't been to us again, you know what! Andor snorted with a little disdain.

"I haven't been to Manati, but I've been to both the Dole and April systems. If you want to say that the best school, whether it is a university or a public school, there is no Xia Lanxing, right? If you want to say that it is ancient, there must be no school of any star body that can compare to Jinglan Star in the April Galaxy, right? How come I have never heard of such strict rules for joining the labor team in public schools in these places? Lu Youfei frowned and said while thinking.

Andor turned his head suddenly, his face almost touching Lu Youfei who was lying on the back of the chair. "Do any of these public schools you heard ask for labor services? Students who do not contribute to the school must take enough additional labor credits to participate in those school clubs. The most demanding is the Mecha Club! You must subsidize the school every year for 1,000 stars before you can directly join the company without taking labor service points! Even the Xingwen Society also fucking needs the funding of 300 Xingang, or it is enough to repair 800 labor points! ”

"How is this possible ......? Didn't you go to a public school? Lu Youfei opened his mouth in shock.

"Yes. But what happened to the public school? Public schools don't cost money! Amdo said disapprerovingly.

"The resources of public schools are allocated by the Federal Board of Education! How is it possible to charge a student any more? You can sue them! This is simply ridiculous! Lu and Fei Yi explained sternly.

"Oh...... are you telling the truth?" Amdo stared at Lu Youfei with wide eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, he grinned again. "Tell me now, isn't it too late? It's useless! I've already graduated! Besides, we in Monatina are autonomous stars, are you sure that the Federal Government's Board of Education can manage our business? ”

"It should be managed, right? It's an autonomous star, and it's just the autonomy of the executive power, right? Lu Youfei replied with a little hesitation.

"Don't talk about this, it's all in the past! But if only I could join the Mecha Club at that time. Maybe the current driving skills can be a little better. Andor said a little yearningly.

"Oh......," Lu Youfei's expression became a little sad. "It's good that you're not part of those clubs."

"Hey! Miss Lu, what do you mean? You can't see me like this, huh? ”

"Ahh That was not what I meant. I mean, if you haven't been a member of those societies. There will definitely be no chance of being implanted with a 'variant lens'. Lu Youfei hurriedly explained.

"'Variant crystals'? How do I sound so familiar with this name? Andor thought as he gently pinched his chin.

"If you really haven't even heard of this, I can't believe you're from the Sheephorn Domain!" Lu Youfei said a little angrily.

"Don't be so exaggerated, right? I don't know if I can't be a human being anymore? I don't have much of an impression of how important it is. ”

"Hmph, you're in luck. I don't know where, I somehow got a star card! If you have taken the exam to qualify for a star card seriously. I think you still dare to talk like that? Lu Youfei laughed at Amdo unhurriedly. I don't know a little bit about these things, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to even get the qualification to register for the star exam! ”

"Does it really matter?" Amdo still couldn't believe what Lu Youfei said.

"It's important whether it's important or not, you yourself will slowly experience it later. However, since you have not had a 'mutant crystal' implanted, I can rest assured that I can tell you something. ”

"What if I get this 'mutant crystal' implanted? I've heard that you can buy it for money! When I was still in public school, there was a fat cub at the school. Just yelled all day long that he didn't care about the school's implant assessment exam, saying that he only wanted to. They can buy as many as they want! ”

"Hmph, maybe." Lu Youfei sneered noncommittally.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth. That fat cub is very rich! Don't think you're a great shell! Amdo's attitude towards Lu Hefei seemed to be a little resentful, and he teased softly.

"We are not the Shell family, we are the Lu family! Do you want me to repeat it many times before I can remember it? Lu Youfei glared at Amdo fiercely. I really think that our Lu family is amazing, and our family's shells are also amazing! What's wrong? ”

"What's wrong?" Amdo looked at Lu Youfei proudly looking at his expression, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice. "We have nothing but me! You're amazing in front of me! ”

"Humph!"

"Don't be angry, the fat cub's business is not as good as your shells...... The Lu family has made it big. But even now, I don't think it's too difficult for them to buy a few 'variant crystals'. Andor explained cautiously.

"That means that you are still stuck in the knowledge of public school, and you have not made any progress!" Lu Youfei looked at An Duo and said unceremoniously. "What do you think 'variant crystals' are? The world's 'variant crystals' are the same price, the same? Do you know its classification, its growth steps? Even today, I can't say how well I know it! How much do you know? ”

"I know it's called 'Morph Crystals.'" Adoris replied.

"You ......, ignorant!" Lu Youfei's hand, after hearing Amdo's answer, slapped it on the back of the chair angrily. "Do you know why I'm afraid of it? Because I've done so much research, I still don't know how it was formed very well. Knowing that my mentor, Professor Ge Ling, is obviously studying metamorphology, why did I, a student studying mecha, worship her as a teacher? ”

"You're happy."

"Heh...... you answered quite accurately! I'm just happy! The stunned look on Lu Youfei's face flashed for a moment. But that's not my main reason. The main reason was that the 'mutant lens' that I implanted when I was a child broke when I was fourteen. Without the slightest warning, it was about to advance to perfection as my realm was about to take shape. Disappeared without a trace in an instant. The people in my family have found countless physical teachers and researchers. I didn't find the slightest reason for it, and I didn't find any trace of the 'mutant crystal' implanted in my body. But the people from the Divine Health Bureau suddenly targeted me at this time. If it weren't for the energy we still have in our family, I might have disappeared from this world before my fifteenth birthday! ”

"They're going to kill you?" Amdo opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Lu Youfei in amazement.

"Maybe they want to kill me, maybe they want to get me back to the base of the Divine Guard for research, maybe they want to detain me...... Either way, there's no way I'll ever be able to get back into a free world. Lu Youfei said with a gloomy expression.

"So you're starting to suspect the Divine Guard?"

"Yes. They're acting too outlandishly. Not only is it trying to prevent the generation of logical bodies, but it is also restricting the flow of human xenomorphs. However, they made their own 'variant crystal' implantation, and they could not make a clear explanation. They have too many problems anyway. Lu Youfei sighed softly. Could it be that you were sniped this time also have something to do with them? Amdo asked warily.

"Such a possibility cannot be ruled out. Over the years, I've had a lot of assassinations with them. But whether this time it has a direct relationship with them or not, it's really hard to say. This time, both in terms of technique and the people involved, it was different from their previous style. This time, it is more like the shameless style of those big institutions. As he spoke, Lu Youfei laughed coldly.

"Big Agency?" Amdo looked at Lu Youfei puzzled.

"Oh, it's our peers." Lu Youfei shook his head helplessly as he spoke.

"In recent years, neither ships nor mecha have been easy to sell, especially in recent years, no one can figure out which direction those new technologies will develop. No one dares to make a desperate attempt to determine the direction, and they are all keeping an eye on the rumors of other houses. Now, as long as it is a research room with a little reputation, regardless of whether it is engaged in material or material development, and even those physical cultivation institutes, there are countless people staring at it. As soon as something happens, it will be known to passers-by in an instant. Until now, no one has surpassed the technology of others. Everyone is mixed up in a quagmire with no end in sight. As long as there is a little movement that others think is threatening. All the manufacturing companies and consortia immediately frantically poured like coyotes that smelled blood. No one can afford to fail at this time! ”

"I don't understand, huh? It's like you've never failed before? Amdo squinted, squinting at the landing. Even people like me who don't know much know how many junk and even waste-grade mechs are on the market now. Just look at the boat I repaired myself. There are bulk carriers in the lower ranks, and cruise ships with pools and airships in the upper ranks. Hmph, there's hardly anything that can be considered perfect! ”

"Hmph, you don't understand. It's not a question of perfection or garbage. Let me give you a simple example. Take our Shell recently developed a global power field device, if it is successful. If you put it on any of the current mechas, I won't talk about the improvement in power performance. The cost and savings on crystal burning alone can eliminate the vast majority of power manufacturing companies on the market today. Lu Youfei said with some excitement.

"You mean, you can kill people by saving money?" Amdo had a vague amount of common sense about economic affairs in his head, but when it came down to it, he couldn't fully understand it.

"It's not that absolute, but if you can't understand it comprehensively, you can think about it so simply." Lu Youfei pursed his lips and thought for a while, then replied softly. "Actually, there are a lot of technical and political problems here. If the technology is leading, there is a cost advantage. Then you're basically going to be able to take out all of your opponents. Destroy it! ”

"So...... they want to kill you first?" Andor asked in a muttered whisper.

"Huh? You can think so. Our latest Aquila has made a big breakthrough. However, because of this incident, our R&D office has been repeatedly attacked. All the libraries have been hijacked, and I've told you about it. So we were only 21 - we had to postpone the next step of research and development, and I came to Xihan alone. Lu Youfei didn't know what was unhappy when he remembered something, and his face became gloomy.

"Aren't you Shell Maker pretty good? How could it have come to this point? Amdo frowned in confusion.

"The so-called awesome depends on who you compare with. If you compare it, it's naturally very powerful. Lu Youfei looked at Andor, pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Hmph, does it seem more powerful to repeat it once?" Andor wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction.

"I didn't mean that!" Lu Youfei's hand patted the back of the chair. "I just want to remind you that there are people who are very, very powerful. You will do things later, if you meet them. It's best to avoid it early. ”

"What do you think?" When Andor saw Lu Youfei talking, he leaned on the back of the chair and became distracted. His eyes were wide open, but he just stared straight ahead. Andor slapped her hard in front of the eye before she suddenly came back to her senses.

"Huh? Didn't think about anything! Just wanted to draw your attention. Lu Youfei lowered his head in a panic.

"It's strange that I didn't think about anything! Look at your soulless appearance! Andor arched his body on the back of the chair and leaned towards Lu Youfei's side.

"Hehe...... it's nothing. I just thought of a little trouble in the past. Although Lu Youfei was laughing, Amdo saw that her eyes were full of sorrow.

"It's useless to say to me, is it?" Andor shook his head and sighed deliberately. "Also, I'm just an intergalactic vagabond who just graduated from public school. Tell me that it's a waste of your saliva. ”

"I really didn't mean that." Lu Youfei put away the smile on his face and explained seriously. "Although there are indeed reasons for this......"

"Wouldn't it have been said earlier? You have to make me unhappy that you're willing to tell the truth, huh! ”

"Oh, can you wait until I'm done?" Lu Youfei stretched out his hand and slapped it fiercely on Amdo's hand. "Although this is an important reason, it is not the main reason why I will not tell you!"

"What's the main reason for that?"

"The main reasons are,...... Oops, it's useless to say anything anyway, so why should you listen to it! A look of hesitation flashed across Lu Youfei's face.

"Huh...... Don't you think it's a long way to go, and it's time to tell a story? Andor asked with a grin.

"Cut, you are a big man, why are you still so gossipy! Can it be a little shapely? We're still running for our lives! Lu Youfei glanced at Amdo lightly and said angrily.

"I don't have a bald head to escape, if he can't escape. I really think it's a dead end! Amdo said a little smugly. How about it, being idle is idle anyway. Why don't you tell me about it, let me relieve my boredom? ”

"Hmph, what about making fun of me? I think you're really looking for trouble! Lu Youfei snorted coldly, rolled his eyes and threw it to Amdo.

"Misunderstanding, you misunderstood. I mainly want to help you analyze and analyze how to solve your troubles. Andor tugged on Lu Youfei's shoulder and explained in a low voice. Anyway, the two of us are grasshoppers tied to a rope now! If something happens in the future, how much will it affect me, right? ”

"Is there a bigger trouble now?" Lu Youfei's hand pointed to the outside of the cockpit.

"It's not just going to be a matter of moment! It's just that the burning crystal is really burned halfway, and it will be on the star of Heavenly Hell in two months at most. You don't have to worry so much! ”

"It was better to do so!" Lu Youfei rubbed his hair irritably.

"If this goes to Hell, I'm afraid your troubles have just begun, right?" Andor asked cautiously.

"You don't need to worry about that!" Lu Youfei raised his head and glared at Amdo. "Don't worry, I'll leave when I get there!"

"What do you mean? This has taken you all the way, but not to mention the grace of saving lives, you should ...... Promise. You can't just cross the river and tear down the bridge, can you? Under Lu Youfei's forced gaze, Amdo's voice became smaller and smaller.

"Aren't you afraid that trouble will happen to you? I can't stay away from you! ”

"When have I ever been afraid of getting into trouble?" Andor patted the back of his chair menacingly. "I mean, you can't get me in trouble and be a fool, can you?" Amdo pleaded in a whisper.

"What's the biggest trouble you've ever gotten into?" Lu Youfei ignored Amdo's anger and asked with a calm look on his face.

"The biggest trouble? Isn't it a big trouble to promise someone else to save humanity? Andor replied with a soft sigh.

"Heh, can you answer my question seriously!" Lu Youfei couldn't help but slap it Andor's hand again.

"Ouch! You tap! Again, I'm not lying. Forget it, I'm a little bit unconvinced when it comes to it. Amdo shook his head vigorously, as if trying to sober himself up. I owe a lot of money to a few people, and I'm afraid that no matter how much I earn in this life, I won't be able to pay it back! ”

"Is this your big problem?" Lu and Fei sneered. "It's big enough!" She shook her head with a laugh.

Andor also shook his head gently as she moved. "If this money were a bottomless pit, would you still think it was small?" Amdo looked at Lu Youfei calmly and asked softly.

"Hmph, money is not a big problem in the first place, no matter how much it is, it is only a problem of money. If you don't earn enough, you earn slowly. Earn that your form and god are all gone in this world, and this trouble will be solved by itself! Lu Youfei said with a half-true smile and a half-truth. And there are some things that will never give you time to do it slowly! ”

"How do you know that my things can be done slowly!" Amdo retorted unhappily. "It's like you can't wait."

"I can't wait!" Lu Youfei looked at An Duo with a grim face.

"Why can't you wait?"

"At most, it's only two years, if we can't push a popular mecha and turn the current situation around. The shells are really going to be finished. Lu Youfei took a deep breath and looked up at the top of the cockpit.

"That's your trouble? It's over, it's over! ”

"Oh, you're light enough! Do you know how much our family borrowed for the Shell Factory? Hmph, according to your words. Just the interest on this money can make you earn two lifetimes and never pay it back! Lu Youfei glared at Amdo angrily.

"Hey! You've come full circle, isn't it also about money? And say that my matter is not trouble, but you are in trouble? ”

"You don't understand!" Lu Youfei glanced at Amdo and didn't say any more.

"What's wrong with me, I don't understand?"

"You're alone, I'm family." Lu Youfei's brows were tightly twisted together. "You can earn it slowly. I can't! Lu Youfei looked at Andor and sighed sadly. There will be a lot of things that can force me to do things I don't want to do. ”

"For example?" Ando looked at Lu Youfei, who had a gloomy face, and asked.

"For example, if that day comes, you will have to consider marrying the eldest young master of the Mu family, or accept the price of the Poor Wood Society. Hum! There's nothing better than putting a lifetime of debt. Lu Youfei's eyes became a little erratic. Isn't it a little more troublesome than your business? ”
