Volume 8 Chapter 1 The Pseudo-World

From a distance, the administrative star in front of it looks like a giant egg that radiates a beautiful light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, chickens that can lay such large eggs must not be found in the universe.

Fang Mingwei and Iverson stood in the control room of the cargo ship, looking at the capital star of the Kaiyue Empire through the observation glass.

After a long time, Iverson stood up straight, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and he sighed deeply, "Kaiyue, I'm back again......"

Fang Mingwei smiled slightly, quite understanding his mood at the moment.

For the first time since he got his new body, Iverson is about to return to his country!

The last time he came back, he was still one of the many souls in Fang Mingwei's mind, although this soul was relatively special and had a rare sense of autonomy. But compared to being able to keep your feet on the ground, it's still a different feeling.

"Iverson, don't be in a hurry." Fang Mingwei comforted: "There are still three days before we can enter the territory of Kaiyue, so you can relax." ”

Iverson smiled awkwardly and said, "yes, I'm really too nervous." ”

Fang Mingwei made a move, and a bottle of drink on the corner had automatically flown into his hand: "I hope everything goes well this time." ”

"Don't worry, the harvest this time is so big, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to embarrass you." Iverson recovered from his hometown timidity and said, "You have to think about who exactly you should give this news to. ”

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course, if it is directly handed over to His Majesty the Emperor, you may not be able to get the maximum benefit."

Fang Mingwei frowned and said, "Listening to your tone, it seems that there are other people to choose from." ”

"Of course, for example, for Firmington, for example, for Benfica masters, for example, for example, for the Rovers, for example...... Leander. ”

"Why did you choose them?"

"Actually, there is not much difference between handing it over to Fixington and handing it over directly to His Majesty the Emperor, because as far as I know, Prince Filmington does not have the ambition to replace his brother as Emperor Kaiyue, as for Master Benfica and the Rover family, they also have strong strength and voice in the Kaiyue Empire, if they are allowed to master these things, it is likely to give you more benefits." Iverson smiled, "As for Leander, it's for future friendship." ”

"Oh?"

"Don't forget, Leander is a serious contender for the next throne."

"He's just one of the contenders, not the only one."

"Yes, but with this information of yours, then there is a good chance that he will become the only one."

Fang Mingwei's heart moved slightly, and he said, "What if I don't want to offend anyone? ”

"Then make it public, let everyone know that you're back, and then tell this information in public."

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, don't forget, you're not an ordinary person yourself, but a great evil star with a legion-level title. I don't think anyone will have enough to eat and be your enemy for this little thing. ”

"I see." Fang Mingwei smiled freely, if it was before entering the beast realm, Fang Mingwei still had lingering fears about the many master-level physical masters in the capital star of the Kaiyue Empire. But now, as long as he has the heart to leave, even if there are more of those master-level masters, Fang Mingwei is sure to get out safely.

What's more, if it really pushes him into a hurry, then he doesn't mind repeating the invincible killing of the Atedo Beast Territory.

Of course, if he could maintain a certain good relationship with the Kaiyue Empire, then Fang Mingwei would not be bored and kill.

After breaking up with Vernon, Fang Mingwei and Iverson did not alarm the Newman Empire's garrison on the planet Smallin, but secretly left there.

For others, wanting to leave a planet with bare hands is undoubtedly a fool's dream. But in Fang Mingwei's identity ring, there are hundreds of ships that can fly in the universe. So he took out one casually and already solved the problem.

At the beginning, Fang Mingwei wanted to sail the spaceship to Tianpeng Star because he eagerly missed his relatives and friends.

However, Iverson stopped him.

Because the secret in Fang Mingwei's hands at this moment, as well as that memory stone, are extremely important things for the entire human race. It is better not to keep these things in the hands of private people. Moreover, the most important thing is that although Fang Mingwei's entry into the beast realm this time, although the Kaiyue Empire did not make a big splash, their high-level must have known about it.

If he knew that Fang Mingwei had left the beast territory and returned to his territory first, then I don't know what kind of thoughts these big people would have?

If they suspect that Fang Mingwei deliberately left something at home, then this problem is very troublesome.

In this way, although Fang Mingwei, who was angry in his heart, still chose to listen to Iverson's words, and did not report his whereabouts to Tianpengxing.

Since those family members were still kept in the dark and didn't know the purpose of their entry into the beast territory, there was no need for him to do anything more. Otherwise, after saying it, it will make them worry about themselves, and it will not be beautiful.

So, the two of them left Smallen in a spaceship and came to a large commercial planet of the Newman Empire, and in the name of doing business, they went to the Kaiyue Empire with a merchant fleet.

Under normal circumstances, the planets of the seventh-level civilized countries will not open their trade ports to the fifth-level countries, and their trading partners are only the sixth-level civilized countries at the very least.

However, the Newman Empire is different, because they are already certain that they are about to be promoted to the sixth level of civilization. Therefore, these fleets will receive the treatment that only the sixth level civilization can enjoy, and they can directly enter the territory of the Kaiyue Empire to carry out commercial activities.

Fang Mingwei did not reveal his identity, but as the large army advanced, it seemed that he would officially enter the Kaiyue Empire in three days, and he finally made a decision on his own affairs.

Touching the identity ring on his hand, Fang Mingwei sat down, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Iverson continued to look in the direction of the Kaiyue Empire with the observation glass, and there was a never-ending momentum.

Fang Mingwei seemed to close his eyes and recuperate, but he was actually not idle, his brain was spinning with countless thoughts, filtering everything that happened when he entered the beast territory, thinking about what things he could say, and not mentioning those things a word.

When everything was over, Fang Mingwei hesitated, but still got in touch with Douglas's soul.

"Mr. Douglas, I have prepared a body of rice for Mr. Iverson. You've seen this body too, it's perfectly suited to a master's soul, if you'd like, would you like a similar body? ”

"No, thank you for your kindness." Douglas refused: "I was a soldier in my life, and the best place for me is the barracks." If I had to choose, I'd rather live in the Little Crown for the rest of my life. ”

Fang Mingwei's heart quietly breathed a sigh of relief, although both Douglas and Iverson were self-aware souls. But the two of them are still different from Fang Mingwei.

Although Iverson is powerful, he can only help Fang Mingwei, even if he gets rid of him, he basically can't see any big loss.

Because at this moment, there are already too many master-level souls in Fang Mingwei's body, it can really be said that there is no more than one, and one less is not less, so as long as Iverson does not betray himself, then he hopes that there will be one less self-conscious soul in his mind.

The soul is definitely a good thing if it doesn't have its own mind and only obeys orders in a mess. But once you have your own thoughts, it's like there's another person in your head, and it's always unbearable.

So once he has the opportunity, Fang Mingwei must hope to be able to expel Iverson.

However, Douglas is different, among the many souls controlled by Fang Mingwei, he is the only one who has the ability to unify the overall situation and command a high-intensity battle.

This ability cannot be replicated, even if it is also a master-level soul, it is impossible to replicate this remarkable ability.

That's why Fang Mingwei only made one rice bar in the Beast Leader's Nest, and he simply wanted to keep Douglas. Of course, in order to take care of his emotions, Fang Mingwei still had to be polite.

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course, because my abilities can only be brought to the limit when combined with you, so I won't leave unless you no longer need my help." Douglas gave him the most sincere assurances.

Indeed, only by using the little crown and Fang Mingwei's super spiritual power, Douglas was able to master more than hundreds of millions of souls at the same time to fight at the same time.

Each soul can control a machine, and each soul is a separate combat unit.

The only one who can perfectly combine and use these souls and machines is Fang Mingwei. And with the help of his special ability, Douglas can really control every bit of change in the overall situation, and squeeze every bit of potential of his troops on the battlefield.

If it were a human being to control the army of machines, then no matter how high Douglas's level and ability were, he would not be able to do this.

Therefore, this man known as the god of war did not deceive Fang Mingwei, as a military half-madman, he was really willing to live in the small crown forever, and get Fang Mingwei's trust and gain control over many souls.

If this is lost, then for him, even if he obtains a ** that can move freely, it will be more than worth the loss.

After getting Douglas's affirmative reply, Fang Mingwei was really relieved.

Because Douglas had his spiritual imprint in his soul, Fang Mingwei could sense that he had not deceived himself.

It was at this time that Fang Mingwei really felt that the necromancer's skills were indeed too good.

Man can lie, but the soul does not, especially the soul that has left its spiritual imprint, and it is even less likely to deceive itself, even if the soul is self-conscious.

Suddenly, Fang Mingwei heard Iverson let out an exclamation full of surprise.

He opened his eyes to see what had surprised the spiritual master.

"What's wrong?"

Iverson smiled and turned on the big screen, and several warships of different models immediately appeared inside.

"Where did these ships come from?"

"Burst out."

"Oh, what?"

"They are...... Space Pirates. Iverson said with a smile, pointing to the skull emblem on the battleship.

If the average person hears that they have encountered a space pirate, then their first reaction is that this is bad, especially for these merchant ships, which are their biggest nemesis.

I was cautious along the way, but I was about to reach the ground, but I ran into trouble instead.

However, Fang Mingwei and Iverson's reactions were different, and after a moment of stunned shock, his face immediately burst into laughter: "Pirates, I really miss it." ”

Indeed, it was the first time he had encountered a real pirate since he set up an ambush at Costa and wiped out the pirates.

Although the hydra is also under the guise of a pirate group, those people are all members of the Ubang family, so they can't be counted at all.

Think about the number of years of flying around in the universe, but the number of times you accidentally encounter pirates is only this time, and it can be regarded as a good character.

It's just that this group of pirates didn't go to rob other fleets, but they wanted to provoke his master-level masters who enjoyed the title of legion, which shows that the character of these pirates is really bad enough.

However, Fang Mingwei didn't expect that although he had flown many times in the universe, he was basically on a high-level warship.

Just think about the sheer size of the Victory-class battleship and the psychological pressure on people, then there really isn't a pirate who doesn't have a long eye to come to the door.

Not to mention that it may not be able to fight, even if it can be defeated and fight hard to defeat a Victory-class battleship, then the strength of the pirate group is estimated to be very little. And what's even more terrifying is that anyone who can ride a Victory-class battleship has a big background behind them, and generally speaking, pirates try their best to avoid provoking such tricky big shots, otherwise it is easy to kill the entire pirate group.

But now, looking at the smoke of more than 20 miscellaneous transport ships of various types, then any veteran can see that this is actually a temporary cobbled caravan.

Only such a fleet is the favorite of all pirates, and if even such a fleet does not rob, then it is intolerable.

Although the number of merchant ships is three times that of the pirate ships, the momentum of the two sides is far apart.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the pirates did not attack immediately, but instead used communication to spread the word.

In general, such pirates are not the most vicious, they are particular about taking their heads. That is to say, after leaving a part of the goods, let the people go.

After some negotiations, the leader of the caravan opened the joint communication of the many ships in the caravan with a bitter face.

"Boss, what are their requirements?" One immediately asked.

Anyone who joins a caravan will generally call the leader of the caravan as the leader, which will be more cordial.

Of course, this is only the rule of a small caravan, if it is a large or super-large caravan, it is naturally much more formal and less humane.

"They asked us to keep a hundred percent of the cargo, and promised that there would be no more robberies from other pirate groups before entering Kaiyue territory."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just like this, then they would still pay for this loss.

"But......," sighed the leader of the caravan, "they asked us to load all our cargo onto one of these ships, and the ship was left to them." ”

Everyone's faces suddenly turned out to be uneasy, for these merchants, the value of a spaceship was far greater than the cargo that stopped there. No one wants to leave behind a spaceship that they have bought or rented with great difficulty.

"Boss, can you talk to them and don't leave the spaceship behind."

"Impossible, they say, if we don't leave the ship, then we're going to destroy them all."

"All destroyed? Did they do it? Fang Mingwei looked at the ratio of the two spaceships, even if he didn't make a move, those warships wanted to destroy all the transport ships here, I'm afraid it was impossible.

Of course, in terms of firepower, Fang Mingwei is not optimistic about these merchant ships, although the other party's ships are relatively few, but after all, they are all genuine warships, and in terms of combat effectiveness alone, there is still a certain advantage in dealing with more than three times the transport ships. But if you want to destroy them all, it's a matter of words.

The caravan leader glanced at Fang Mingwei unhappily and said, "Whether they can destroy all of our fleet, in short, we are not their opponents, if we fight, the lost goods will be lost." ”

The corners of Fang Mingwei's mouth twitched, and he turned to Iverson and whispered: "Iverson, your country is not very good, there are so many pirates." ”

Iverson suddenly cried and laughed: "Mr. Fang, there are still three days to go before the Kaiyue Empire here, do you want to ask the fleet of the Kaiyue Empire to leave the territory and include this place in the scope of patrol?" ”

Fang Mingwei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, if you are reasonable, which country's territory is here, which country is allowed to run rampant by pirates?" ”

"There is no country." Iverson explained: "It's a public border, a buffer between several countries, so there's pirates. ”

"Oh, yes, let's continue watching the fun." Someone said heartlessly.

At this moment, the many shipowners in the fleet have finished deliberating, and they have finally decided to take out a spaceship to ensure the safety of the whole team.

However, there is a great deal of disagreement about which spaceship to come up with.

Some of the caravan owners had only one ship, while several had two or three ships.

Therefore, although it has been decided to use the lottery method to select the spacecraft, it has not been decided on how to draw lots.

Owners of only one ship require all ships to be added to the lottery, but owners of multiple ships are required to be drawn according to the owner's head.

The two sides quarreled over their own interests and were never able to reach an agreement.

Fang Mingwei shook his head slightly, in fact, if more than twenty transport ships work together to deal with only a few pirate ships, although they may not be able to win, they may not necessarily lose.

And looking at the other party's words, I'm afraid that it may not be easy, if the caravan is really hard, they may not be willing to fight the same battle.

But the current situation is completely one-sided, after listening to the other party's acceptable conditions, the caravan side no longer thinks about joining hands to defend against the enemy, but instead puts its mind on how to minimize its losses, which is really funny and sad.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think of these pirates?" Iverson asked suddenly.

"There's no fighting power." Fang Mingwei made a fair evaluation, after all, he was a person who had seen a big scene, and he could preliminarily estimate their strength by looking at the other party's warships.

In Fang Mingwei's eyes, if he wanted to destroy them all, even this spaceship under him was enough.

Although his spaceship looked no different from an ordinary transport ship in the past, it was actually a high-level private adventure ship of the Kaiyue Empire.

This spaceship has two forms, in the form of this transport ship, it can only exert fifty percent of the power of the whole ship, but even so, its speed and firepower are not inferior to the Qingsong-class battleships that the Newman Empire is proud of.

If it switches to another form, then when it is 100% combat-effective, it can even compete with more than three Green Pine-class warships at the same time.

It was precisely because of this super spaceship that Fang Mingwei's heart was not worried at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had some nostalgia for the past in his heart at this moment, and he didn't want to reveal his identity in front of these people, he would have killed all those blind little thieves a long time ago.

Iverson smiled dumbly, "For you, these pirates are naturally no threat. But I didn't ask them about their combat prowess. ”

Fang Mingwei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, you mean the plan of these pirates." Well, yes, there are some powerful people among these pirates, and they have a very good grasp of the psychology of these shipowners in the caravan. ”

"Yes, in fact, this is no longer a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Because even if these shipowners see the mystery, they still can't help but think, as long as it is not me who loses, what will it matter? Iverson sighed and said, "But this kind of trick can only deal with this kind of small caravan that gathers temporarily, and if you encounter a large caravan, then this method is completely useless." ”

Fang Mingwei nodded slightly, the owners of the large fleet are all people with status, and when they sail, they are like fellow soldiers, paying attention to a high degree of discipline, if they really encounter a similar situation, they can decide which spaceship to casually point, and where there will be any internal strife.

"Look, they should have figured it out." Iverson said suddenly.

Fang Mingwei looked towards the big screen, only to see the leader of the fleet say: "Mr. Fang Wei, we have unanimously passed a decision just now, what do you think?" ”

"Unanimous? I don't think I'm participating. Fang Mingwei said in surprise.

"Ah, actually, we make decisions according to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, so ......," said the leader of the fleet, with some embarrassment.

"Okay, I see, I don't know how you discussed?"

"We unanimously decided to give up a spaceship to them."

"Okay, is there going to be a lottery? My luck has never been bad. ”

"No, we've discussed it, and we won't draw lots."

"No lottery?" Fang Mingwei looked surprised and asked in surprise, "Could it be that someone volunteered to provide a spaceship?" Who has such a good conscience? ”

"No, you're mistaken, our decision is to ......" The leader of the fleet paused and said, "Vote, yes, we decided to vote on which ship to stay." ”

"Vote?"

"Yes, we have a total of twenty-six ships here, but there are only eighteen shipowners, so we decided to let these eighteen shipowners vote together, and whichever shipowner has the most votes will provide the ship."

Fang Mingwei's face sank quickly, and said, "Boss, is this fair?" ”

"It's fair, so that only the most unpopular shipowners will be abandoned by everyone. I thought it was fair. ”

Since multiple ships are connected at the same time, each owner is qualified to open the line. At this time, a fat big fat man seemed to be afraid that someone would regret it, so he quickly interjected.

Fang Mingwei looked at the shipowners from the big screen, only a few shipowners turned their heads in embarrassment, while the rest of the shipowners had a natural expression.

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Fang Mingwei said, "Okay, since everyone has decided, let's start voting." ”

"Okay, now let's cut off the tie and wait for ten minutes to officially start voting. Whoever is chosen, hopefully you won't regret it. The leader of the fleet breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said.

Looking at the big screen that cut off the communication, Fang Mingwei scolded: "This group of bastards is trying to trap me." ”

Indeed, although this group of merchant ships was formed temporarily, Fang Mingwei was the only outsider. If it is a vote, then he is 100% unlucky.

"What are you going to do?" Iverson asked with interest, "Are they going to be wiped out along with the pirates?" ”

"No, I'm a civilized person, not so bloody." Fang Mingwei said with a smile.

The corners of Iverson's mouth twitched, he didn't say anything, but in his heart he didn't believe it, when the leader of Eddor went on a killing spree, how did you forget your identity as a civilized person?

"Aren't you going to resist?"

"Of course, why resist?" Fang Mingwei asked rhetorically: "One-tenth of the goods, although they are not very valuable, but this is also given away for free, don't do it for nothing." ”

Iverson looked at Fang Mingwei and sighed in his heart, you can also see this thing, you really have nothing to say.

Ten minutes later, eighteen shipowners gathered, and the leader of the fleet said, "Now, we can officially vote." ”

Every shipowner typed out their favorite name on the spot, and Fang Mingwei didn't need to look at it to know the result. On the contrary, Iverson whistled lightly and said with a smile: "Seventeen votes, all of them are Fang Wei, it seems that it makes no sense for you to vote or not." ”

Fang Mingwei glared at him, but although he had known this result for a long time, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The big fat man who was the first to speak said: "The results of the vote have come out, Mr. Fang Wei, I hope you will abide by our prior agreement." ”

"Well, Mr. Scala, I do." Fang Mingwei said dejectedly.

The leader of the fleet seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Fang Wei, you and your crew can come to my spaceship first, and when you reach the Kaiyue Empire, no matter where you want to go, I will definitely send it to the ground." Of course, even if you want to go back the way you came, you can ride our ship for free. ”

"I know, thank you for your kindness." Fang Mingwei said helplessly: "You send the goods over, and then I and my crew will go over." ”

Fang Mingwei's spaceship looked like a typical small spaceship from the outside, and when it was full, there should be more than a hundred crew members, so his words did not arouse anyone's suspicions.

The leader of the fleet sent the pirates the decision of the crowd and the list of one-tenth of the cargo, and they quickly agreed to their choice.

Although the pirates did not know exactly how much cargo was on these transport ships, after reading the list, the pirates did not dwell on it. Because whether or not the cargo amounted to a tenth of the entire fleet, they were worth to the satisfaction of the pirates.

And the pirates knew that if they were not satisfied, it would likely provoke resistance from all the shipowners, which would not necessarily be good news for them.

It was not a difficult thing to dock a spaceship in the universe, so it only took more than an hour, and Fang Mingwei's car had already docked with the twenty-five spacecraft once, and all the goods on the list had been accepted.

During this period, perhaps because of guilt, no one noticed that when Fang Mingwei received the goods, he did not transport nine-tenths of his cargo to other spaceships.

When all the goods were transferred, Fang Mingwei looked at these obviously relieved ship owners, and asked with a smile: "Everyone, have your goods been delivered?" ”

"Yes, it's all over."

"Okay, please connect to the pirate ship's channel, I'm going to send them the cargo and the ship." Fang Mingwei said with a smile.

When those ship owners saw the expression on Fang Mingwei's face, they didn't know why, and they felt a faint chill in their hearts, but in this case, no one dared to object.

The communicator was turned on, and a lean man appeared on the screen, with a huge knife wound on his head, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying.

However, for Fang Mingwei, who has seen a lot of all kinds of monsters, this scar is a pediatric thing, he doesn't seem to see anything about it, but instead says in the most kind tone: "Excuse me, is it the respected pirate?" ”

"Nonsense, are you the guy who sent the spaceship?"

"Yes, a tenth of the cargo is already with me." Fang Mingwei was not angry, still smiling and groaning, "How should I hand over the spaceship to you?" ”

"Drive the ship over and get the fuck out with your guys." Scarface laughed, and the people around him laughed too.

"Okay, then I'll drive over, but before I do that, allow me to say goodbye to my companions."

The horizontal flesh on Scarface's face shook and said, "Hurry up, don't want your mother-in-law's." ”

"Yes." Fang Mingwei did not shut down communication with other merchant ships, so their conversation was clearly heard by everyone.

"Farewell? Mr. Fang Wei, what do you mean by this? Faintly, the leader of the fleet seemed to sense that something was not right, and he asked hurriedly.

Fang Mingwei turned his head to look at the shipowners who were a little hesitant, and there was obvious disdain and mockery in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't buy too many goods this time when I went to Kaiyue to merchant, and the things you gave away are undoubtedly the most needed treasures for me, who has just joined the ranks of merchants, so I would like to thank you here, and wish you a safe journey."

At this point, as long as you are not an idiot, you know that something must be wrong. Those shipowners howled angrily, as if Fang Mingwei was some heinous guy.

However, Fang Mingwei just laughed at this, he waved his hand lightly, Iverson shook his head slightly, and gave the order to move forward at full speed to the spacecraft.

The small ship seemed to shake in place for a moment, and then turned into a white light like lightning and rushed through the corsair's blockade.

The unprecedented speed and momentum of the advance made everyone, including many pirates, stunned.

At the same time, everyone's hearts filled with questions, is this ship still a transport ship?

※※※※

The spaceship accelerated to 0.5 times the sub-light speed in an instant, and it was still rising rapidly, and by the time they reacted, it had long since disappeared without a trace.

Fang Mingwei looked at a shipload of goods, thinking of the expressions of those people at the moment, and couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was full of indescribable happiness.

After the laughter stopped, Fang Mingwei unexpectedly realized that it seemed that he hadn't laughed so much for a long time.

Since he left the Earth Alliance and came to the Newman Empire, the people and things he has come into contact with are much stronger than his own, and in this case, his nerves have always been very sensitive, like a tense bowstring, and he has been in a state of readiness.

However, in addition to a few unruly pirates, there are also some self-righteous traders, and no matter what kind of plans or ideas these people have, they are unlikely to pose any threat to him. That's why Fang Mingwei can let go of everything and enjoy a rare happy trip.

However, there is also a lesson learned from this, that is, in the face of absolute strength, any intrigue is useless.

In the same way, as long as you have the strength to surpass everything, then it is impossible for you to pose any threat to yourself, whether it is a genetic person or a natural person.

Of course, this is easier said than done. However, Fang Mingwei was confident that with the magical ability of the necromantic inheritance to continue to accumulate strength, he would be able to reach this point one day.

It's just that a trace of discord slowly emerged in his heart, is the ancestor of that genetic person really dead?

A cry of surprise pulled his mental consciousness back from his contemplation.

Iverson held a clear mug in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Fang Mingwei looked at it curiously, this cup was just an ordinary glass, but the manufacturing process was quite ingenious, and it seemed to be a few years old.

"What's wrong with you?" Fang Mingwei asked in surprise, I really can't figure out what is so wonderful about this cup that is worth Iverson's fuss.

"I think I've seen this cup somewhere." Iverson put his hand on his forehead, thought for a moment, and finally said, "I remember, this style of cup is recorded in the Royal Museum of Kaiyue, and it seems to be a style handed down from ancient times. ”

"Oh, what?"

"It's nothing, it's just that this cup is an antiquity of the Yakai Empire, and it hasn't been seen since Yakai's demise."

"Jacques Empire?" Fang Mingwei was stunned and said, "This name seems quite familiar." ”

"Of course it's familiar, this is my country." Suddenly came the voice of Douglas in his head, although he was a soul, he was still able to take the initiative to speak when he was self-aware.

Fang Mingwei's face was quite strange, and he didn't expect that he could find a treasure in this batch of goods.

"Iverson, how much is this cup worth now?"

"If it's for collectors interested in history, the value of this cup is very high, yes, very high."

"Yes." Fang Mingwei became interested, came to the goods for a while, and found a few things with similar styles. However, these things are not stored separately, but are confused with some worthless cultural relics and antiques.

"Iverson, how much are these artifacts worth?"

"Except for these few things from the Jacques Empire, the rest are worthless." Iverson scoffed, "Everything else is a fake." ”

"Well, a bunch of fakes, a bunch of genuine things, what do you say that represents?"

"There must have been similar cargo on those ships."

Fang Mingwei and Iverson looked at each other and smiled, but they had no plans to go back, after all, no matter how valuable these things were, they would not be put in their eyes.

"Wait, can you show me these things?" Douglas's voice was faintly reminiscent.

Fang Mingwei didn't talk nonsense, let go of his spiritual consciousness, and let Douglas's soul blend in.

The next moment, Douglas's angry voice suddenly rang out: "Oh my God, where did these bastards get these things?" ”

"What's wrong?" Fang Mingwei asked in surprise, it was the first time for Douglas to speak in such an angry tone.

"These are funerary goods, items that can only be allowed to accompany the burial after the death of a big man of status, these hateful tomb robbers."

Fang Mingwei and Iverson looked at each other and rubbed their hands at the same time, it was really unlucky. Fang Mingwei was even more secretly glad in his heart, he originally planned to use this cup to drink water, but now, naturally, he won't drink it anymore.

"Mr. Fang, I beg you one thing."

"Mr. Douglas, you're welcome." Fang Mingwei smiled: "You want me to go back and ask about the origin of this batch of goods." ”

"Yes, I wouldn't have been so excited if this shipment had just been stolen from an ordinary cemetery. However, the same badge is printed on all of them. ”

Fang Mingwei took a closer look, and sure enough, among these antiquities from the Yakai Empire, there were small and complex badges printed in inconspicuous places.

"Which family is this?"

"This is Luke? Patrick is a personal badge, and anything that is engraved with this badge is his personal belongings. Douglas's voice was sad.

Fang Mingwei is not familiar with this Patrick, but he knows one thing, that is, this person, like Douglas, is one of the two heroes of the Yakai Empire in the past, and he is also an outstanding person who is not born in the world.

Curiosity rose in his heart, and Fang Mingwei asked, "Mr. Douglas, there is something I don't know if I can take the liberty of asking." ”

"You say."

"What exactly is the Yakai Empire studying in the past? How could it be suppressed by the joint efforts of all the ninth-level civilization countries? After a pause, Fang Mingwei asked cautiously, "It can't be a genetic person and a biochemical beast, right?" ”

"No, we're not studying genetic humans and cyborg beasts." Douglas said without hesitation.

Fang Mingwei's mood was relieved, since it wasn't, it would be good.

If it was before going to the beast territory, Fang Mingwei also had an opinion on the iron law stipulated by the Great Federation, which states are not allowed to study genetic people.

But after seeing and hearing about the beast leader, Fang Mingwei also became a resolute supporter of this iron law.

If you don't learn your lesson and continue to create genetic people, then this is purely creating enemies and killing opportunities for your own race. Therefore, if the Yakai Empire was really destroyed by many ninth-level civilization countries because of the incident of studying genetic people, then it is not worthy of sympathy.

"Since I'm not working on this, what else can provoke so many countries to join in...... What about concern? ”

"We're looking at the real world." Douglas hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "And I already have a certain clue." ”

Fang Mingwei's heart was suddenly startled, he looked at Iverson, and he also saw the shock in his eyes.

In the real world, this is the most powerful technology that only a Tier 10 civilization could master.

"Did you really figure it out?" Iverson couldn't help but interject.

"Although it has not been completely successful, the pseudo-world has been successfully developed."

"Pseudo-world?" Fang Mingwei asked in surprise, "What is that?" ”

"It's the real world you get from the ruins."

"What?" Fang Mingwei immediately took out an instrument from the identity ring.

This thing is the real world that can be turned into a sea of sand obtained in the ruins, and it used to be unable to be activated because there were no high-level energy blocks. But now that I have the energy block, I heard news that doesn't seem to be very good.

Isn't this really the real world, but just a shoddy product?

"Mr. Douglas, are you talking about that?"

"Yes, this is the pseudo-world, and we were able to successfully replicate such an instrument in the first place." Douglas said smugly.

"This is a pseudo-world? But I think once it unfolds, it's like the real world. Fang Mingwei asked suspiciously.

"No, the real world is a world that can be read without the need to be infused with energy all the time. And this pseudo-world must rely on instruments, light cards, and a lot of energy to maintain, once the energy supply is insufficient, the world will collapse immediately. ”

Fang Mingwei nodded abruptly and asked, "Then is there a real real world in this universe?" ”

"Of course there are, and there are quite a few."

"Really?"

"Yes, you've been in there a few times, actually."

"Me?" Fang Mingwei suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "Ruins? ”

"That's right, those ruins are the real real world created by the ancient tenth-level civilization countries, but with the inexplicable demise of those countries, these places have become relics that countries covet and fight for."

"Mr. Douglas, is it because you have researched the pseudo-world that those ninth-level civilized countries will send troops to exterminate them?"

"Yes, those countries are asking us to hand over this technology and send people together to participate in real-world development research."

"You refused?"

"Yes." Douglas's voice was also full of bitterness: "His Majesty the Emperor refused. ”

Fang Mingwei nodded slightly, this typical behavior of picking peaches would not be happy for anyone. It's just that what makes him strange is that under the strong suppression of so many ninth-level civilization countries, the Yakai Empire still has the courage to resist, this courage is indeed commendable, but it is not advisable.

However, it was the emperor of the Jacques Empire who made this decision. It's just that why did the emperor make such a stupid choice, could it be that his head was actually funny at that time?

"Mr. Douglas, I have to say, your Imperial Majesty really has a surname." Fang Mingwei said sincerely, but his tone was not respectful at all.

"No, this resolution was passed by everyone in the first place."

"What?" Iverson asked incredulously, "Do you agree?" ”

There is a certain connection between Iverson and Fang Mingwei on a spiritual level, so Douglas can be heard.

"Yes, I agree." Douglas said calmly.

Fang Mingwei and Iverson's faces were quite funny, wasn't it that Emperor Yakai was alone with a funny head, but that all the Yakai ministers were nervous together?

"Don't get me wrong." Douglas hurriedly explained: "Under the circumstances at that time, we thought that we would be able to fight with the coalition forces of all the ninth-level civilization countries, and there would be a big chance of victory. ”

Fang Mingwei gasped, if this sentence was said by someone else, he would have slapped it a long time ago. With an eighth-level country, even if it has the pinnacle strength of the eighth-level civilized country, but wants to confront all the ninth-level civilized countries, this can no longer be called confidence and arrogance, but should be called madness.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the instrument in his hand, Fang Mingwei had an idea, and blurted out: "Pseudo-world? ”

"Yes, it's the pseudo-world." Douglas's voice was full of emotion: "In ancient times, the reason why the tenth-level civilization country was able to stand out among many human civilizations was because of the real world. With their efforts, they have created one after another paradise with the characteristics of different civilizations that are completely in line with their own ideals. Where, there are endless ores, with all kinds of magical substances. It is with these things that human civilization can dominate the entire galaxy. ”

Seeming to feel the nervousness of Fang Mingwei and the others, he smiled and said, "These current ninth-level civilizations are not inferior to the ancient tenth-level civilizations in most of the scientific and technological civilizations. However, in terms of combat effectiveness and overall strength, they were not as good as any ancient tenth-level civilization. The biggest reason for this is because of the real world. ”

Iverson said slowly, "I understand, because the real world can be shaped by pre-programmed programs. Therefore, after mastering this technology, it is equivalent to mastering the entire universe. No matter what is needed, it can be mined and refined without restrictions, and in the case of material scarcity, the national strength is vigorous, of course, it is not comparable to the current ninth-level civilization. ”

"You're only half right." Douglas sighed: "You're talking about the civilian and manufacturing side, but it's even more so on the military side. Have you ever wondered how you would feel when all your fleets were ready to attack the enemy, only to suddenly find yourself in a completely unfamiliar world? Moreover, after you have used all the methods, you find that you will stay in this strange world forever, and you will never be able to go back, at that time, you have a huge weapon of destruction in your hands, so what choice will you make? ”

Fang Mingwei and Iverson were silent for a moment, if this situation really happened, then this army was afraid that there was only one way to collapse, and it was more likely that it would take up arms to attack each other, and eventually the whole army would be annihilated.

"I see." Fang Mingwei finally said: "I heard Bob introduce that the strength of a fleet under your command actually defeated the legion-level alliance composed of two ninth-level civilized countries. I always thought he was telling the truth, but now, I believe it. ”

Indeed, with this kind of technology that can be called a pervert against the sky as a backing, if Douglas is no longer victorious, then is there any heavenly reason?

Iverson hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since you have the technology of the pseudo-world, it can be said that you are already invincible on the battlefield, so why are you still defeated and annihilated in the end?" ”

Douglas's voice darkened, and he said, "Strong fortresses are often breached from within, and in our country, traitors have appeared. ”

Fang Mingwei sighed, in fact, this is not news. In the universe, betrayal can be said to happen every minute. It's just that the act of betrayal of the state is a little more ugly and the crime is a little bigger, but in essence, it's still the same thing.

"Did those traitors hand over the technology of the pseudo-world?"

"No, this kind of top-notch technology is only in the hands of one person, and those traitors, although they are in high power, have no access to the core secrets of the pseudo-world."

"So ......"

"They detonated our country's energy reserves." Douglas sighed: "The biggest weakness of the pseudo-world is that it requires extremely large energy support, and in the case of insufficient energy, no matter how good technology is, there is no room for play." So in the end, we failed. ”

sighed softly, it turned out that the reason for the defeat was so simple!

But that traitor also grasped the main point, energy. Otherwise, if there is enough energy, then the outcome of this war may not be known.

Thinking of this, Fang Mingwei was suddenly uneasy about the identity of the traitor and the reason why he wanted to betray his motherland.

A country, especially a country in times of war, is naturally extremely protective of its energy reserves. But even in this case, the traitor was able to detonate it. It can be seen from this that this person's status in the Yakai Empire is definitely extraordinary.

Even such a top person will be able to leave the vest, and the demise of Jacques can be regarded as inevitable.

As for the means used by those ninth-level civilized nations to succeed in the future, there is really little need to know. Anyway, it is just wealth, beauty and power.

At this moment, Fang Mingwei is most concerned about the real world: "Mr. Douglas, has the real world been successfully developed in the end?" ”

"I don't know, because I lost contact with Patrick before I died in battle. For so many years, I fell into an unconscious slumber, and only today did I see his personal badge again. ”

Fang Mingwei's heart moved, and his eyes were bright and bright. That Patrick is really not a simple character, being able to create a pseudo-world is already a very remarkable thing, and he has to go one step further and want to study the real real world, and he has a certain clue.

Genius, what is genius, this is the real genius.

If nothing else, as far as he knows, even now, no country claims that it can develop a pseudo-world.

Looking at the scattered goods all over the ground, Fang Mingwei's heart suddenly surged with a burst of heat.

If Douglas is right, these things are funeral goods, and they belong to the genius Patrick, then it means that this genius has fallen. However, it is not known whether his soul exists, and if he can get it......

Fang Mingwei touched his nose, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if he mastered the technology of the pseudo-world, wouldn't he be able to compete with the ninth-level civilized countries?

He involuntarily swallowed and foamed, and the light in his eyes became more and more vigorous.

Patrick, the genius scientist and the man named by Douglas, how could his soul dissipate so easily?

"Iverson ......"

"Yes." Iverson was startled by Fang Mingwei's ghostly crying wolf-like voice, and hurriedly said.

"Quick, let's hurry back, and don't let those damn pirates hurt our good friends."

"Good friends?" Iverson gave him a strange look, but he still controlled the ship and returned as fast as he could.

A strong flash of light appeared in the cosmic space, and it was obvious that Iverson had done his best, and it seemed that even he had guessed Fang Mingwei's thoughts, and he was very willing to cooperate.
