It was nearly 10 a.m., the sun was rising in the sky, there was plenty of light, there were no clouds, and there was no wind. At this time, the sky of the Gobi Desert is always so beautiful and intoxicating.

Under this blue dome, the desolation in the distance and the lush flowers and plants in the near distance contrast with each other, making people feel more and more that in this glass palace, blowing the central air conditioning, drinking drinks, listening to music, what a pleasant thing.

Of course, Adele, Ella, and Cork as prisoners can't be happy. Even, because enjoyment has long become a habit, I don't think there's anything special.

Kane was thinking about this and had a rough idea of how to punish the trio.

For the purpose of disguise and confusion, Miranda appears next to Kane in the form of a biochemical lieutenant.

The Methuselah has advanced 3D printing equipment on board, and there is no shortage of related materials, so it is not a laborious task for Miranda to use the evil god cells as the biological brain, and then install a high-end mechanical prosthetic body for herself.

The outermost artificial skin, which is also made of evil god cells, looks like a high-end product, almost chaotic, and is three levels more advanced than the artificial skin used by the T850 in {Future Soldier}.

Miranda, who is dressed in a crisp military uniform, looks like a dignified and bewitching female officer. She even has her own unique temperament, clear and intellectual, and a pair of black-framed glasses adds a bit of civility to it.

She walked with a catwalk, gracefully and gracefully beside Kane, and after greeting her, she stood diagonally behind Kane, holding the back of the chair where Kane was sitting with one hand, and swept over the three of Adele from a staring perspective.

In comparison, Adele's little princess aura was ravaged, and there was no comparison at all, and Ella's royal sister aura was also much worse, as for Cork, as a boy, there was no comparison.

The waiter appeared on the scene with a tray, fruit, snacks, and wine, and removed the ones that Ella had used before.

The cleaning staff, at this time, also completed the work, and retreated in an orderly manner, in the glass palace, there are only five left, good sound insulation system, shock absorption system, so that the noise can not enter, if it is not through the display screen wall can see the outside scenery, even can not detect the movement.

Kane didn't speak.

Ella: They don't speak.

Miranda was the first to break the silence.

"Commander, the Sandworm has been fixed, and this is the latest stat. ”

As he spoke, the wearable device on his wrist projected a hologram, and in addition to video, there were also more intuitive data statistics tables and schematic diagrams.

Kane put down his glass, stared at it a few times, and nodded.

The damage to the battleship is actually quite serious, but with the equipment on the Methuselah, powerful technology and almost omnipotent evil god cells, let alone repair, even rebuilding a sandworm is not a big project.

According to Kane's thinking, the restoration of Miranda Overseer did not invest too much advanced technology, but was the most common 'patching' repair with a strong personal style in the Fight Land area.

Cut off the damaged part first, and then make up what can be repaired, and replace what can be replaced, OK!

As a result, the sturdiness of the overall structure has dropped again.

It's really nothing at all, 90% of the various warships and vehicles running on this land have more serious safety hazards than the Sandworm, and some even run and spontaneously combust and fall apart.

In contrast, even if the Sandworm is patched, it is still an artistic-level patch, which makes the layman look unaware of it, and they think that the rear has been equipped with additional armor or magic.

Kane praised the fact that after the restoration, the old hairy style became more and more intense.

"It's very Soviet, and we're just going to do the things of the Comintern, the style of painting fits, there's nothing wrong with it!"

As for the Soviets, it is a people's democratic dictatorship under the leadership of the party, and he is simply a dictatorship, not a Soviet at all. He said that the question of dictatorship could be discussed with Comrade Stalin.

The Sandworm suffered some casualties, Glenn's wife and young daughter died, and five hapless crew members also died in the incident.

For Kane, all that was lost was seven low-level puppets with their own personalities.

According to the golem used by Kane, from S, to F, there are seven centimeters, and D\\E\\F are all low-level, and what is lost this time is the F-class puppet that has only completed the most basic body optimization adjustment in addition to brain modification.

Kane didn't think it was anything to worry about, especially since he didn't know them well, and he hadn't even met them......

Obviously, these are also two sets of standards.

The death of the crew of the Sandworm was regarded by him as a loss of property, and he himself was offended by the impudence.

Although the members of the Sandworm are part-time sand bandits, they do all kinds of things to kill people and sell organs, which is very in line with the saying of his hometown that 'the feet of the car and ship shop should be killed if they are not guilty'. But private law lynching is also a kind of evil.

When he was offended by this evil, he was filled with righteous indignation, and he had a demand for justice and revenge, and other evils died and were considered unlucky.

Fortunately, Kane also knew that he was not a good thing, so he did not put a face on the three Adeles, and asked righteously, why did the Methuselah fire at the Sandworm for no reason?

But the specific reason, he still wants to know.

And there is already a goal for interrogation.

"Commander, the elixir is ready. ”

Kane finished his review of the Sandworm's damage and repair report and said, "Then use it on him." Kane said, gesturing at Kirk Ritter.

When Cork heard this, his face immediately turned pale.

Ella immediately felt the sadness of the rabbit's death, and she realized that she couldn't be silent any longer, otherwise she would be pressed by the other party step by step, and finally lose her dignity.

She coughed, cleared her throat, and said, "This gentleman, I have something to say." ”

Kane made a gesture of please.

"If Sir wants to know something, there's nothing we can't be honest. ”

At this time, Adele also broke the silence and interjected: "Yes, honesty and frankness are virtues that we have, and we don't need to use any inferior means. ”

Her voice was originally good, but because one side of her face was swollen and her teeth were a little loose, her speech was a little slurred.

And Ella had already reached out to pull Adele at this time, and it was appropriate for her not to speak indiscriminately, but Adele still stubbornly expressed her attitude.

Cork held his forehead on the side, and said in his heart: "Aren't you adding to the chaos? It's all at this time, what kind of eldest lady is still playing? You have virtue, and the other party is using inferior means." Isn't this looking for a whip? Now the whip is in someone's hands!"

Kane gestured, and as soon as Miranda raised her hand, she discharged in the air, and Adele immediately convulsed, her eyes rolled and her mouth foamed.

"Adele, Adele!" Ella shouted anxiously, realizing that Adele's life was not in danger, and still couldn't help but stare at Kane and Miranda with hatred, but in the end she still controlled her desperate impulse, gritting her teeth and roaring: "What do you want?"

"Look. ”

After Kane's short answer, he continued to drink, listen to music, and watch the scenery.

Ella has no desire to talk.

It was Cork, who behaved modestly, with a flattering smile on his face: "Sir, no matter what questions you have, just ask, I know everything." ”

Kane didn't seem to hear at all, and continued to enjoy himself.

After a short while, the elixir was delivered.

Miranda stepped forward and said to Cork, "Cooperate or suffer?"

Cork looked sad and begged Kane for the last time, his hazy little eyes, like the eyes of a cute little hamster, very innocent.

Kane sneered and said, "The acting is well received." Just because I worked so you, I decided to reduce your sentence by two months. ”

Ella's heart sounded 'thud!' Although there has been some speculation before, the person in front of him is different from ordinary villains, and it is likely that he will not take the path of blackmailing him, but will make a profit by obtaining the information he wants and selling it to his respective family's business rivals. Even the backstage of this person himself is a certain company or gate valve family.

But when the matter came, when I heard the word 'serving a sentence', I was still in a heavy mood.

She knows the truth of long nights and dreams, and the longer it drags on, the more likely it is to breed new incidents.

Especially her and Adele, the long-term imprisonment is bound to bring serious damage to the reputation of the two, and then encountering the hype of someone with a heart, it can be said that the future of the two is bleak.

As for Adele, she was now just a receiver with eyes and ears, and the paralyzing effect of the click was still ongoing, and she felt that her tongue was so big that she couldn't even do 'Abba Aba', and it was laborious to bend her fingers.

Soon, the two girls were drawn to Kane's question and Coke's answer.

What attracted Adele was the question itself. This question and answer made her understand that Cork had a dirty soul.

In the name of justice, Cork instigated her to use the temporary authority of the Gilded Period to order the Methuselah to shell the Sandworm, and the real reason behind it was simply because some people were interested in the relief materials, but not his share.

This time, it was Cork and Adele's classmates who made the disaster, a 'genius' figure who performed quite positively and eye-catching in school, and was also the president of the student union, and founded a charitable organization at a young age, a student model in the new era...... In short, it is burdened with a lot of rumors.

As a result, he played a game of hiring someone to rob himself, and then the thief shouted to catch the thief.

All in all, the Sand Worm's Grand is just a small character who consumes human affection and eats a little dregs, but because it is a small role, it is easier to be angry, and there is no place to reason if he is killed, and there is no reason to say, even if he knows the truth about black eating black, I am afraid that there are many people who applaud him.

And the specific reason is because of the bad luck of the Sandworm.

If Grande had followed the original route and sold those compressed lunches, he might have spent a fortune in a bar or counted a small amount of money at home.

However, after Kane took over the Sandworm, he wanted to take a compressed lunch box to invite people's hearts, so the Sandworm turned back 180 degrees after stopping for nearly 48 hours.

The looting of disaster relief materials here, the fermentation has also been completed, and people like Cork basically know what's going on.

The active radar detection range of the Methuselah is 50 kilometers, which means that the whereabouts of the Sandworm can be discovered without the help of the satellite detection network in space, so that there is no need to alarm some people with the help of the satellite detection network.

The motivation is as simple as that.

And the interesting point is that the radiant genius student union president is precisely the in-law arranged by the Weining family for Adele.

Although this is indeed a political marriage, it may not be a happy marriage and the fruit of love recognized by the parties.

This is something that both sides have vigorously touted and promoted. It turned out to be overshadowed by Cork Ritter's big mouth under the truth spitting agent.

Although Cork Ritter has a bad image in the minds of the two women, the effect of the truth spit seems to be trustworthy.

As an arbiter, Kane showed a shallow restraint.

Failing to dig into Cork Ritter's privacy allowed him to shake out the scandals of himself, his family, and some of the others he said he knew.

There is no pressure to ask for high-value trade secrets or anything.

This left Ella wary and confused.

After all, she had always believed that Kane did not disdain to make such small money as extortion, but by probing into trade secrets and even scandal hype, so that the group behind him would cut a large piece of meat from their respective families.

But now it seems that this assumption is not true.

This only made her more afraid, Kane's series of practices must be justified, and the more difficult it is to figure out, the greater the damage caused.

Then Ella noticed that Kane seemed to read her thoughts, and laughed, "If I were you, I would be concentrating on how to spend my time in prison now." ”......

For the next four days, all three of them were under house arrest. Among them, Ella and Adele are imprisoned together, and the dormitory room of the intermediate driver is a temporary prison cell, and it is fair to say that life is not difficult, but if you are afraid of comparison, Ella and Adele's past days can taste some pain when compared with the current days.

Adele washed her face with tears, and Ella said bitterly, both of them thought that this was part of the prison years, but they didn't know that compared to the real prison years later, this was the last good time, but unfortunately they spent it in anger and dissatisfaction, and did not cherish it.

On the sixth day of Kane's robbery of the Methuselah, the battleship arrived in the outer areas of Rainbow City.

This is already the southern border area of the fighting land, and beyond the rolling mountains, it does not belong to the category of fighting the earth.

Rainbow City is a neutral city, at least nominally.

Like many cities, the official influence of the state is very weak here, and even the napkins of the corporate empires are about the same.

Toilet paper is played by gangsters and is used to wipe.

The napkin is played by the official and is used to wipe the oil and blood from the corners of the mouth after gluttony.

At the same time, like other neutral cities, it is secretly hated by two groups that are almost torn apart and-for-tat at the same time.

It's not because neutral cities are pulling the shelf, on the contrary, it's because they're too fair.

If either side is strong, the neutral city will help the other side, and it must be balanced, so that the left and right sides can meet the source, and the two sides want to shake hands and make peace? The key role of the neutral city is not the arbiter, nor the savior of the weaker side, but the-stirring stick. Just like the role of the British Empire in Europe.

And the most interesting point is that the neutral city is the one with the deepest background.

UA International, as well as its rival Industrial Alliance, are also members of this class of neutral cities in other regions, and are also hated by both sides of the ring in other regions.

On this planet, the power structure within civilization is so interesting.

Kane, on the other hand, intends to make the world a little more interesting.

That evening, he invited Ella, Adele, and Cork to dinner at the Palace of Glass.

Memory indoctrination + hands-on practice, in just a few days, he has a special chef in this world who can reproduce the food of his hometown. Therefore, there is no need to say more about the color, flavor and beauty of the dinner dishes.

"I invited three of them for several purposes. ”

Kane, who was seated in the host's seat, gestured, and the waiters began to serve the food and pour the wine.

Kane said: "From the point of view of including a period of time in the future, this meal is arguably the last good meal. After this meal, we will go our separate ways. ”

Both Adele and Cork looked surprised, and they couldn't believe that Kane had let them go so easily.

Ella heard something else, she knew that going their separate ways was not the same as freedom, and that there must be difficulties here.

So next, the three of them dined with different moods.

People's adaptability is very strong, and now, the three of them are much calmer from the bottom of their hearts than they were at the beginning. At least it's time to eat and drink. Especially if the food is still very tasty.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, eating and drinking are almost over, the show is coming.

Very vulgar program - big flowers.

The scale is indeed grand, and the most famous 'Hongqiao Heavenly Pavilion' in Hongguang City has been blown to pieces!

This Hongqiao Sky Pavilion is part of the largest megastructure in Hongguang City. It makes the whole of Rainbow City look like a flower basket on the ground, and it is the handle of the flower basket.

It is like a rainbow perched on the clouds, emitting colorful light in the daylight and shining like a jewel chain at night.

If you zoom in closer, you will find that this area is a rich area where luxury houses gather, with a variety of luxury house designs, subverting people's imagination, and the perfect combination of art and technology, its scenery is breathtaking.

After the Methuselah arrived at the outskirts of Hongguang City during the day, the impostor Adele and his party visited the Hongqiao Heavenly Pavilion and took the opportunity to complete a series of invasions, as well as the planting of explosive bombs, which were detonated at this moment.

The bomb is specially made, and the specific location is also calculated by strict building structure, so as to ensure that after the explosion, the entire Hongqiao Tiange will be blown up enough to pieces, and can be ignited in high temperatures, so that it is gorgeous enough and there is not much residue.

The Methuselah is more than ten kilometers away from the incident site, but looking at this super-large fireworks, the distance is just right, and you can not only appreciate the shocking magnificence, but also get a glimpse of the whole picture.

Adele couldn't maintain the dining etiquette that she had become a habit, and the soup spoon fell directly into the soup bowl.

Cork was frightened and frightened, but also had a certain relief and excitement, and his mood was very complicated.

Ella was dumbfounded, and then couldn't hold back anymore, gritting her teeth and roaring: "You madman! There are more than 50,000 people living there, including women, children, and old people, and many innocent people!"

Kane put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and smiled, "To be exact, twenty-six thousand three hundred and seventy-eight." Most of the temporary handymen, at this time, had already left the Hongqiao Heavenly Pavilion, and they did not have the right to spend the night in the Yao clan's special area. Of the more than 20,000 people, more than 20,000 are close servants of the family type, as well as security personnel whose loyalty and professional skills have been repeatedly tested, as well as other staff who maintain the normal operation of Hongqiao Tiange."

"Among the Yao clan of less than 5,000 people, the real upper class is not even one-third. Most of them are successful professional managers, golden wage earners. Although they have managed to have the title of the Yao clan, even if they don't mention the unspoken rules of the three generations of precipitation, from the perspective of power and profit, they are just high-level foreign affairs slaves. After all, their rights and interests, and even their status, are provided by their positions, and they are competent, which does not mean that future generations can also. ”

"Among the more than 1,000 upper-class people, there are about three hundred, and this point in time is not in Hongqiao Heavenly Pavilion. The situation here has not been tense lately, and the nightlife of the rich is abundant, and they can be found in various urban areas, including death drag racing at the bottom and cage death fight scenes. ”

"Aside from these lucky people, at least half of the remaining more than a thousand people are all kinds of milk who have been raised, and they don't have the right to fool around, they have to eat and drink and have fun, but they have to wait in bed for nothing, without this awareness, they will soon fall into the dust, and even don't know what to do. ”

"So you see, the real Yao clan is only more than 400 people, so few, it's not fun to kill!" Kane sighed heartily, completely unable to taste the slightest hint of fake pride and smugness.

Adele, Ella, and Cork all felt a chill flood from the bottom of their hearts.

"What kind of demon has been activated, a thousand-year-old demon!"

As a result, Kane said, "If these people have spirits in heaven, I believe they will be grateful to me." It may seem hypocritical to you, but it has a point. This truth is mainly reflected in the angle of looking at the problem. ”

Kane smiled: "Don't worry, it's not a perspective of righteousness, justice, civilization, and race, what I'm going to say is a very simple, down-to-earth perspective, this perspective is called being afraid of comparison in everything." ”

"How do you compare?"

Kane didn't give the three of them much time to guess and think, and replied directly: "This is more about the specific sentence arrangements for the three." ”

"First of all, Mr. Ritter is the culprit, and my way of dealing with you is a poisonous duck. You'll have to earn 20,000,000,000 Star Coins to compensate me for my losses. ”

"You might say that even at the black market price, 20 million is enough to buy three new Wilde III. But I will say that the lion's share is the mental damage fee, and my crew's life, every one of them is very expensive. Therefore, I suggest that you take the initiative to do this job well, otherwise I am afraid that you will die of it, and the competition in this industry is also quite fierce. ”

Whether it's Cork, or Adele, or Ella, they all want to say something at this time.

But Kane didn't want to listen to them, so he drugged the meal, and they are now paralyzed.

When Kane finished sentencing Ritter's sentence, someone came and dragged him down.

This guy's sentence is the most troublesome to implement, so he needs 'drug control', as for what he will be mistreated after serving his sentence, Kane didn't think much about it.

The technology of this era is so prosperous, as long as Cork can go home, it is not a problem to change his body, and even the family is estimated to have a clone backup.

Of course, the wound of the soul is not healable, and the withdrawal of wanting to take drugs, even if the body is changed, has a psychological effect on it, and this psychological addiction is the real trouble.

As for making money, 20 million is actually not a desperate goal, mainly because Cork Ritter's own conditions are not bad, a natural person, and the whole body is original, which is very high-grade. If you can change your mentality in time and strive to be a leader in the industry, you will be able to escape in three or five years, provided that the broker is not so black.

After completing the verdict on Cork Ritter, Adele was next.

"Born with a golden spoon, born noble. Adele Weining, before the age of eighteen, you enjoyed the material fruits of civilization. I think the answer is luck, at least the main factor. ”

"However, where there is good luck, there is bad luck. If the parents who received your blood represent good luck, I probably represent your bad luck. From heaven, to hell. This is my punishment for you. ”

"I won't touch your body, it's a near-perfect, young eighteen-year-old shell, it's going to be sealed in a hibernation pod, waiting for its owner to become one with it again. ”

"Your brain will be housed in a biochemical body, and before that, I am giving away unparalleled brain frame technology for free, as well as protection technology, unless it is a weapon of cannon caliber or higher, it will not be able to blast through this layer of brain protection. And I'll arrange for a loyal, powerful guardian to keep an eye on your every move, making sure your head doesn't spin around and end up with no idea where the sale goes. ”

"Of course, there is a fee for this type of protection measure. I've got you a lucrative job, Wandering Warbler, uh......" Kane touched his head: "Sorry, due to the lack of flora and fauna, you may not understand this word, I'll change to a more popular, street girl." ”

"You might say that you could have done something else and pay back the money. I'm sorry, it's not that I'm underestimating you, I don't think any other job is reliable for you. As for leadership positions, many, many years ago, there were towns that were elected by the people and made a cat or a dog or something as the mayor. ”

"In my opinion, your biggest advantage is that the personality that you have cultivated at home through the greenhouse is beautiful, kind, and righteous, of course, there are some negatives, arrogance, not knowing how to be considerate of others, and so on. Because it is a true performance, your character can attract some psychologically distorted people, they are used to seeing bad goods, but they have never seen your pure and good, or even the so-called noble personality, even if the body is biochemical, it can be sold for a good price. ”

"But I consider your personality and recommend you to go to a well-known big store, which is asking for trouble, and soon the mother there will strangle you with her own hands, so you still start from the low end. ”

"Moreover, what I arranged for you is the property of the Weining family. You may not believe it, but the facts will slowly make you believe that from standing on the street to high-end takeaways, the Weining family has a one-stop system in this regard, and the ancestor of the family's Zhongxing has survived the difficult times by relying on this industry. Haven't you been clamoring to hate gilding, to experience life, to sharpen yourself? Weining's custom industry is much more powerful than Weining's computer and power system, at least it doesn't need too much false advertising and assassination of competitors. ”

Adele was also dragged down. Looking at her confused eyes, it is estimated that she is already in a state of semi-collapse.

It doesn't matter, people are often more resilient than they think. If you take 10,000 steps back, it's just one more madman, how big is it?

In Kane's view, Adele's tenacious sentence is over, and after she returns to her body and returns to the Weining family, it can be regarded as the beginning of the main drama......

Finally, there's Ella Greenhill.

"I believe that from school to work, there has never been a shortage of kneeling and licking people of the opposite sex around you, and there are even more people you secretly admire. Or maybe you've successfully skipped the stage of indulging in this shallow sense of accomplishment and can't extricate yourself, and from time to time you tell yourself that your future is more brilliant, like the stars and the sea. ”

"All men are not created equal. Some people are talented, well-born, have a stable and rich living and learning environment, and the elders also imparted valuable experience through various ways at a very young age, so that they can avoid many detours, and then go all the way to glory, even if it is the so-called trough, it is also the ultimate goal of many people. Unlike some other people, the road is bumpy, relying on their own groping forward, exchanging scars for shallow experience, exchanging life for money, a little start-up capital, you have to catch up with health, and even conscience......"

"Jealous? Of course, why not?"

"Maybe in your eyes, this is called 'poor ** plan, rich conscience', but in my opinion, these are two almost completely different stages, and the big ones are like animals and people. The former is for survival, and the latter can already talk about the high-end needs of self-fulfillment. ”

"What is it that makes all this happen, what makes the poor poorer and the rich richer? What is it that deprives the poor of their free access to basic subsistence resources and jobs, and then further squeezes and slowly bleeds?"

"You might think I'm alarmist when I say this. As I have already said in the media reports, poor people have something to hate, that is, some people are not motivated, that is, some people do not study well, geniuses with good conditions are working hard, why don't stupid people with bad conditions know how to struggle?"

"So the punishment I give you is the status of the poor. I will not deprive you of the knowledge and skills you have mastered under good conditions, as well as your experience and vision, I will just change you to the status of a poor person. Then I'll throw you in the scum street. ”

"The name has no impression. I think there should be. After all, you've done your research and written an essay that won an award. Waste Street was single-handedly promoted by Greenhill Heavy Industries, but you think that the Greenhill family is very aggrieved by carrying this pot. To summarize simply, those people in Waste Street are a bunch of treacherous, lazy and greedy people. ”

"This time you can do a meticulous and serious long-term investigation. There is no need to look at the flowers like a leader inspection like back then. I don't need you to help me make money, because in addition to the custom industry, it would be good for you to ensure that you can live a relatively healthy life. That's why I want you to write me an investigation report of no less than 100,000 words. When I say the report passes, your sentence will be over. To give you a little hint, I like to speak with detailed data, and I don't like official clichés and empty words. ”

"By the way, don't worry, I will also change a shell for you for free, I will help you change a second-hand non-flowing prosthesis, this is for your good, otherwise just to deal with the problem of organ theft and robbery, you can be busy to death, I am not your father, why should I take care of it?"

In this way, the three main criminals who shelled the Sandworm have all been sentenced.

The other arrangements were completed in one step.

Next, it will be the glorious curtain call of the Methuselah, the battle of warships and vehicles.

The target, the Ugin Mine in Rainbow City, where a convoy of warships is watching......
