295 Liberty

A huge spaceship sails alone in the vastness of the universe.

This is a luxury cruise ship named "Liberty". Coming from the only high-level civilized country in the A star field, the passengers above are either rich or expensive. The destination of this trip is the Red Feather Federation located in the H Star Field.

Although the "Liberty" is only a cruise ship, its level is "super-planetary", and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of a "super-planetary" warship, and it is not afraid of any pirates.

As a cruise ship exclusively for the use of advanced civilizations, it is recognized and protected by all advanced civilization countries. Therefore, as long as there is no cosmic catastrophe, there is basically no danger.

Banquets are a very important social place in high society. It's a place where people make friends, exchange information with peers, and talk about current events.

It's a place of opportunity for anyone.

On the Liberty, banquets are held every few days to provide a platform for the passengers on board to communicate.

Although the Liberty is extremely large, there are not many real passengers on it, more than a thousand big people with deep backgrounds, and tens of thousands of their entourage.

On this day, the Liberty held another banquet, hosted by a duke. Naturally, the banquet cannot be without the host, and these big people have a tacit understanding and take turns to host it.

The banquet hall is richly decorated, the golden color makes the whole hall look solemn, and the melodious music sound is just right to make the banquet atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

People all over the hall whispered to each other, and there was the occasional burst of laughter. Well-dressed maids weave through the crowd with wine trays, reserving the guests.

In the corner of the hall, there was a rather incongruous person standing there alone, looking coldly at the people around him, as if he was examining these big people.

He held a wine glass, the transparent wine glass was filled with a golden liquid, and he gently shook the glass in an elegant posture. Although he stood there alone, he did not appear obtrusive. He always had a slight smile on his face, which did not seem unapproachable, and made people consciously keep a distance from him, which was just right.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, his face moved. Then a hand rested on his shoulder, and a somewhat flirtatious voice sounded in his ear, "How is it, Xiaoyu." I didn't bring you to the wrong place, it's really a beautiful place. I just saw your eyes wandering, is there anything agreeable? Just ask, I'll help you get it. ”

The young man named Xiaoyu glanced at the person who spoke, took a sip of his own wine, and ignored him.

The one who spoke was a young man of the same age as Xiaoyu, very handsome, with his eyebrows and eyes flying out, which seemed out of place with the entire banquet.

"It's really cold." The young man had long been accustomed to his attitude, and he did not care. His eyes rolled, and he said, "What did I tell you last time, how did you think about it?" ”

"Xiaoyu" still didn't speak, as if she hadn't heard him.

The young man didn't give up and said, "Boss, you see that you are so handsome, but you use such a sissy mecha, which damages your image of wisdom and martial arts." Why don't you give her to me, I have a 'flame', drive it out, it's absolutely manly, and it's a perfect match for you." ”

Xiaoyu glanced at him helplessly, knowing that if he didn't speak again, he would be able to babble for an hour. "You want to give it to that girl. She is not strong enough, and she can't open it if she gives it to her. ”

The young man smiled, "The boss is really wise, although she can't open it now, she can keep it for the future." Her birthday is almost here, boss, you can do well, help me this time. ”

Xiaoyu shook her head as a maid passed by, put the wine glass on the plate, and walked to the table next to the food table.

The young man hurriedly followed, "Boss, that, the price is negotiable, how about adding another hundred rough stones to the 'Flame'?" ”

Xiaoyu suddenly stopped and looked back at him sharply, his eyes were a little strange.

The young man squirmed in a rare way, and said sarcastically, "I know that a hundred rough stones are a little less, but I don't have a lot of money lately. That, as long as you're willing to change, everything is negotiable. ”

Xiaoyu continued to walk forward to the table full of food, where a waiter standing there respectfully handed over a small plate and a knife and fork.

Shaking his hand refused the waiter's help, he himself cut off a piece of meat with a knife, put it on a plate, cut it into small pieces of meat, took a piece with a fork, and put it in his mouth.

The young man next to him diligently handed over a glass of wine, Xiaoyu glanced at him, and saw that his face was full of flattering smiles, and he was amused in his heart, but he was very vigilant. This young man has a proud background, but he is extremely pleasing to himself. The city is unfathomable.

Xiaoyu slowly ate a whole plate of diced meat, and finally spoke, "That girl deserves so much thought from you, presumably her life experience is not simple." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's nature." "I wonder if it's not because of her background, I've already used it strongly, and I still need to work so hard?

Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "You have never pursued a girl seriously, have you?" ”

The flattering smile on the young man's face was put away, his hand touched his chin, and a very strange light flashed in his eyes, although it was only a flash, but it was captured by Xiaoyu.

The young man nodded, "Hmm." ”

Xiaoyu continued, "With your status, which woman you like, as long as you reveal the slightest meaning, those women will automatically climb into your bed. Whether it's voluntary or arranged by someone close to you. ”

The young man was really stunned, and in retrospect, it was indeed the case.

"It's too easy to get, but it loses a lot of fun between men and women." Xiaoyu smiled, "You rely too much on using your power to get what you want. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, it's your advantage, and it's your brain that doesn't use it. But the result of too much dependence is that when your power is out of effect, you start to blind. ”

The young man smiled wryly, "You're right. ”

Xiaoyu glanced at him meaningfully, this was the first time he showed his true emotions.

"The power behind that girl is at least equal to yours, so you can only pursue it in the normal way." Xiaoyu cut off a piece of meat again and carefully cut it into small pieces.

The young man looked at him again with a scrutinizing gaze, wondering in his heart what he meant.

"Unfortunately, you're using the wrong method." Xiaoyu asked the waiter for a bottle of sauce, poured it on the diced meat, and said.

"That girl is really beautiful, tsk, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Xiaoyu recalled the thrilling shock when she saw the girl, and still can't believe that there are such beautiful people in this world.

When the waiter heard their conversation, the friendly smile on his face suddenly froze, and his eyes became a little drifting.

Xiaoyu glanced at him casually, "A woman like her, I want to impress her with a gift......" He smiled and didn't say any more.

The young man let out a long sigh, he also knew that this chance was slim, but he had to try, because he could not find a better way.

"I know that, but I won't give up if I have the slightest chance." A blazing light shot out of the young man's eyes, "I can't do anything else, I still have a bit of a confident eye, your blue mecha is definitely the best of the seven-star mecha." What's even more rare is that,"

Seven stars? Xiaoyu smiled, but didn't explain, Xiaoyu shook her head, "No matter what, I won't give you 'Linglong'." ”

The young man's eyes narrowed, and there was a cold light in those narrow eyes, which made people shudder. Xiaoyu was vigilant, this is his true face. The arrogance he usually shows is just his mask.

Xiaoyu knew that he had completely offended him with this sentence, and with the character of a person like him, he would definitely not give up until he achieved his goal. Although I am not afraid of him, there are still some things that need to be used by him, so I can't just turn his face.

"I can help you, though."

"Oh, how can I help?" A sarcastic smile flashed at the corner of the young man's mouth. He's going to have to get his hands on that mech, no matter what method he uses. Even if the other party talks about this level, he knows. The soft ones don't work anymore.

"Gift-giving is very particular, depending on the friendship between the two parties, the relationship between the two, and the purpose of the gift. Sometimes, giving too much of a gift can backfire. ”

"Oh?" The young man was a little interested, and he wanted to see what Xiaoyu could come up with. With his position, he naturally won't think about how to give gifts to people all day long, and others will give them to him. Sometimes I will send some to my own women, and they are all precious.

"How to choose a gift is a science. Take between men and women as an example, ordinary girls, you can basically get it done with money. But she is not short of money, and she has seen no less valuable things than you. ”

"Presumably, she won't be the one who values these things." Xiaoyu's eyes resurfaced the figure of the girl. After a pause, he added, "At this time, you have to do what you like." You can send a gift to her heart, so that you can really impress her and make her look at you differently. ”

He glanced at the young man again and smiled, "Of course, everyone understands this truth. The hard part is how to choose the gift that suits her heart. ”

Xiaoyu looked at the young man seriously, "Hong Dashao, you have helped me a lot during this time." Even if I don't know how to lift, I know the reward. This matter is wrapped up in me. ”

Hong Dashao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled, and his face once again regained that flying and jumping temperament, "Leave this matter to you, boss, I don't worry." ”

Xiaoyu smiled, a little admired for the rapid change in his face.

This Xiaoyu is naturally the newly baked emperor of the Galactic Empire, Zhong Yun. He changed his identity and assumed the pseudonym Yun Zhongyu. After leaving the Galactic Empire, he happened to rescue this Hong Dashao from the pirates in the Wushi Galaxy.

After seeing Zhong Yun's strength, Hong Dashao tried every possible way to win him over. Zhong Yun just needed an upright identity, and just hit it off, and the two came together.

Hong Dashao has a very good background, and this time, on behalf of the family, he went to the federation to discuss a business. Unexpectedly, on the way home, he was robbed by pirates.

He dragged Zhong Yun on the "Freedom" alive, and Zhong Yun had to rely on him to hide his identity, so he could only follow.

From Hong Dashao's mouth, Zhong Yun learned about the recent situation outside, and the wars launched by advanced civilizations in various galaxies have come to an end. There are a few middle-level civilized countries that have been spared the doom of national annihilation.

Zhong Yun guessed that the power of these high-level civilized countries had swelled to the limit and could no longer eat. will stop the pace of expansion.

In any case, the current cosmic civilization has temporarily entered a period of peace.

But Zhong Yun knew that this was only a prelude to an even greater storm, and when the time came, a bigger war would break out, and at that time, the war would engulf the entire universe. Because, it was a war between advanced civilizations.

At the same time, exchanges between high-level civilized countries have become more frequent. Zhong Yun guessed from Hong Dashao's words that they wanted to form an alliance with the Federation. Because the two countries are too far apart, there is no actual conflict of interest.

Outbred and close attack. Throughout the advanced civilization, lobbyists have been dispatched one after another, and they have begun to merge vertically and horizontally.

Knowing the general situation of the civilized universe, one of Zhong Yun's tasks was completed.

He came out this time, in addition to wanting to understand the situation outside and not let himself become a blind man. The biggest purpose is to get some rough stones.

He has a lot of valuable things on hand, especially "Linglong" and "Lonely Goose". But they can't be taken out and sold, so they have to find another way.

He inquired about the market, and the market price of a first-grade rough stone was 100,000 interstellar coins. More than two products are priceless.

Starcoins are a common currency between advanced civilizations, pegged to a block of hard currency energy, and one Starcoin is equal to one hundred units of energy. In other words, a first-grade rough stone is equivalent to 10 million units of energy.

This means that Zhong Yun has to make a lot of money.

But there is a problem, in advanced civilized countries, the surveillance is very strict, and people without identity cannot enter these countries at all.

According to the normal way, if you want to become a citizen of a high-level civilized country, you must first undergo an assessment, not only intelligence, but also physical fitness. in order to become a prospective citizen of the country.

The probationary period for prospective citizens is twenty years. Prospective citizens are subject to various restrictions, such as being subject to strict surveillance and not being able to live in the core area.

These harsh conditions discouraged Zhong Yun from becoming a citizen of these countries. But if you don't have the status of a high-level civilized country, you can't enter a high-level civilized country at all. Now the countries of the intermediate civilization have basically been wiped out and have become colonies of the advanced civilization. Wherever Zhong Yun goes, he can only be a slave, which is even more miserable.

Therefore, he needs Hong Dashao, and with Hong Dashao's power, it is not difficult to give him an identity. Now he also has the status of a high-level civilized country. However, without Hong Dashao's protection, it would have been impossible for the Federation to enter the second stage of intermediate civilization.

Hong Dashao is doing this favor, he has to help. Not only do you have to help, but you have to do it beautifully.

After returning to the room, Major Hong Dae handed him all the information he knew about the girl.

Zhong Yun browsed through these materials, and became more and more sure in his heart, originally he was only five points sure, but now he has eighty percent. "Leave this to me."

Hong Dashao was very curious about what he had, and asked again and again, but seeing that he was just smiling and silent, he had to give up. Although he didn't believe in his heart, he could really find a gift that impressed that girl. But he didn't dare to turn his face directly, he definitely didn't want to make a feud with such a powerful mecha master as a last resort.

The powerful strength that Zhong Yun showed when he rescued him made him remember it very deeply. He secretly guessed that this person was only afraid that he was on a par with the number one master of the younger generation of the empire, the seventh-grade mecha master Haiyue. If you can, let's try to solicit as much as possible.

After that, Zhong Yun stayed in the room for ten days in a row, and Hong Dashao ordered no one to disturb him. Although I was so curious that I was going to die, I couldn't help it and didn't go to him.

Ten days later, Zhong Yun finally left the room and handed a small box to Hong Dashao, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Hong Dashao was about to open it, Zhong Yun shook his hand and said, "This box is specially made, and it will be destroyed if it is opened." ”

Hong Dashao hesitated again and again and did not dismantle it. Just hold it in your hand and look at it over and over again. I will be suspicious in my heart, just this thing, can impress that lady of the sky?

"What the hell is in this? You've got to get to the bottom of it. Hong Dashao couldn't help it and asked out loud. He was cautious by nature, he had never seen this thing, and he really didn't dare to give it to that woman like this. If something happens, his family won't be able to protect him.

Zhong Yun smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a painting." ”

"Painting?" Hong Dashao's brows furrowed.

"She's fascinated by the Garan civilization, and it just so happens that I have a painting like this on me, so it's just right to give it to her."

"Garan painting?" Hong Dashao's eyes narrowed, he is not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it, if it is really a painting handed down by Jialan, it is worth a lot. Like those national treasure-level boutiques, they are worth more than his blue mecha.

After hesitating for a moment, Hong Dashao said, "How much does this painting cost?" You make an offer. ”

Zhong Yun shook his head, "It was given to you." ”

Hong Dashao said unhappily, "What do you mean, if you don't collect money, I won't ask for this painting." With that, he pushed the box back.

Zhong Yun glanced at him unexpectedly, thinking that he really deserved to be an elite cultivated by a big family, atmospheric, and not taking advantage. Originally, he thought that Hong Dashao was just a little scheming. Now it seems that he despised him.

Of course, this is also Zhong Yun's strength is enough for Hong Dashao to value. Otherwise, how could there be such treatment.

No matter what, Hong Dashao's action won Zhong Yun's favor. He didn't pretend either, he just said, you can watch it when the time comes.

Hong Dashao thought for a moment and agreed.

Waiting for Zhong Yun to leave, Hong Dashao stroked the box, and when he heard that it was a Jialan painting, he had a little confidence.

It's just that his eyes flashed, and he called his entourage in, pointing to the box, "Take it out and check it to see if there are any dangerous goods." ”

When the attendant took the box away, he added, "Remember, don't open it." ”
