Looking at the smile on Gong Yaming's face, the waitress suddenly said, "Classmate, you're not from the Nathan Haute Star Boundary, right?" ”

Gong Yaming was stunned for a moment and replied, "How do you know?" ”

"I guessed from your expression," the waitress said with a smile, "You're a student of the Federation Sergeant Academy who came to the Astral Boundary, right?" ”

"You guessed wrong this time, I'm not a student of the Federation Sergeant Academy, but a Federation Reserve Explorer," Gong Yaming replied, then touched his face and asked suspiciously, "May I ask if my expression is any different from that of Nathan Hout in the Astral Zone?" ”

"Our young men in the Nathan Haout Astral Realm don't smile as gently as you," the waitress said, "It seems that although you are a pre-explorer of the Federation, you must not have much experience exploring the primordial planets. ”

"Why do you say that?" Gong Yaming asked again suspiciously.

The waitress smiled and said, "As I said, a man who has been through many dangerous situations will not have a smile like yours."

Hearing the waitress say this, Gong Yaming subconsciously looked at the expressions of the male diners in the restaurant, and found that although most of them looked a little serious, there were also a few male diners with happy looks on their faces, and couldn't help but say: "I don't see the smile of the man in the Nathan Haout Star Boundary, which is different from me." ”

The waitress replied, "Of course it's different, but you people from the Peace Administration Star can't see it." ”

Gong Yaming said disapprerovingly: "According to what you say, ordinary people living in the Star Boundary Region have also experienced a lot of dangers?" ”

The waitress nodded and said, "Of course, just over a week ago, the people of Turin attacked the Nathan Haute Star Boundary..."

"Waiter checkout." A diner near the restaurant's door interrupted the young waitress with a wave of his hand.

The waitress smiled at Gong Yaming and said, "There is a vacant seat." He turned to the diners who wanted to check out.

Gong Yaming followed behind the waitress, watching her pick up money, make change, and clean up the table with her hands and feet, although she wanted to inquire about the specific situation of the Turinees' attack on the Nathan Haout Star Boundary more than a week ago, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak.

The waitress cleaned up the table, smiled at Gong Yaming and said, "Mr. Ready Explorer, you can order." ”

Gong Yaming sat down with a smile and suddenly thought of a very serious question, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Can this restaurant pay through bank transfer?" ”

"The most expensive dish we have here is 25 yuan, do you think you can transfer the payment?" The waitress was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile on her face.

Gong Yaming stood up and said with an increasingly embarrassed face: "I'm sorry, I don't have any cash on me now, so I can only withdraw money first..."

Seeing that Gong Yaming really wanted to leave, the waitress waved her hand and interjected arrogantly: "Forget it, don't be so troublesome, I'll treat you to this meal, but it can only be within 30 yuan." ”

"Then what's the matter, it's very hard for you to come here to do odd jobs," Gong Yaming said thoughtfully: "No matter what, you can't break the bank." ”

Looking at Gong Yaming's sincere expression, the waitress suddenly approached him and whispered, "I'm not doing odd jobs in this restaurant, but the owner here, so I can still afford to have a meal." With that, she turned and left.

The waitress's words surprised Gong Yaming a little, he didn't expect a young woman who looked youthful to run such a thriving restaurant.

At this time, another waitress brought the meal to the table, and he hesitated for a moment, and finally felt that it was even more inappropriate to live up to the kindness of others, so he could only bury his head in eating. …,

The dish is just simple fried meat mixed with clear beans, but for Gong Yaming, who spent 36 days of hard days drinking blood in Speargun 19I Star, and was only entertained with a few thin slices of bread at the Nathan Haout Star Boundary Military Base after escaping, it is already a rare delicacy.

He ate very sweet and filling, and he was completely free of the pickiness he had when he was in the castle of Dawn.

After a full meal, Gong Yaming breathed a long sigh of relief, and another waiter said to him with a drink: "Sir, your bill boss has ordered it to be waived, and this ice drink is also included, I wish you a happy meal." ”

"Thank you." Gong Yaming smiled gratefully, drank the iced drink, and when he stood up and wanted to thank the young female owner of the restaurant who looked like a student, he found that she was gone.

Reluctantly leaving the restaurant, Gong Yaming walked around the market for a long time, and finally found a bank that offered self-service cash withdrawal services.

Because it was a fake identity, when he authorized the withdrawal, he found that for the sake of authenticity, there was only less than 20,000 federal coins in the account.

Secretly cursing in his heart, Gong Yaming, who was used to spending a lot of money, took out the yuan, stopped a rental car, and rushed to the long-range space airport...

During the conversation with the taxi driver, Gong Yaming finally learned that the city in the Nathan Haout Star Boundary District where he was located was called HUB7 City, which had the same name as the military base in the city.

Such a strange nomenclature is also a characteristic of the cities in the Star Boundary, because in the Star Boundary, there are usually ◆ bases that appear first, and then around these military bases, prosperous cities are gradually born.

After chatting about some special things in the Astral Sector, Gong Yaming slowly turned the conversation to the Turin attack that happened more than a week ago, but he heard that the attack was not very intense.

According to the middle-aged driver who sat next to him and drove a taxi flying car, the cities in the Astral Boundary of Nathan Hout experienced the same intensity of attacks almost once or twice a year.

Hearing this, Gong Yaming was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Driver, if you recall it carefully, you really don't think that the Turin attack 12 days ago was anything special?" ”

Such a question was already very deliberate, and the driver said suspiciously: "There is really nothing special."

Young man, why do you ask that? ”

The absence of something special is the greatest speciality, from the soul of the cardinal priest to know that the people of Turin were commanded by the gods to hold a grand ceremony to start an all-out battle with the human race, but still maintain such an unimpatient, step-by-step rhythm of attack, Gong Yaming knew that from now on, the battle between Turin and human race will definitely enter a new stage of lasting and unprecedented tragedy.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt inexplicably tired in his mood, sighed silently, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just asking casually." And he spoke no more.

In a dreary atmosphere, the taxi flew to the long-range space airport in the city of HUB7.

After paying the fare and walking to the airport ticket office, Gong Yaming realized that there was no direct flight to any of the administrative stars of Aborbon in the Nathan Haout Star Boundary.

After talking to the ground service staff for a long time, he learned that the most convenient way for him to return to the American Star was to take the spacecraft to the Galactic Federation's Queenan Star Continent Baileqi Star, and then transfer to Yabobang there.

There is no direct route to Yabo in the Nathan Haute Star Boundary Area, although there is a special reason that the Star Boundary Area passes through the ordinary administrative region and the routes are relatively scarce, but it also makes Gong Yaming understand that Yabo is not as popular as he imagined.

In the final analysis, Yabo is just a Galaxy Federation with 4 administrative stars, a subcontinent exercising political power, and a discounted B-level civilization to join, even if it can barely protect itself, but for the Galactic Federation with a territory of more than 880 administrative stars, it is still far from being a powerful force of great importance. …,

This kind of realization made Gong Yaming's mood become more and more depressed, and after recalling carefully, he suddenly felt that the rapid expansion of Yabo Bang in just two years made him and Xu Guilun, the only one who could advise him directly, have some arrogance of the authorities when examining Yabo.

In this way, with a melancholy mood, with a gloomy face, he bought an ordinary seat ticket to the Baileqi Star of the Quinan Star Continent, Gong Yaming went through a transfer and spent a full 7 days, and finally returned to Grina City...

Returning to his own territory, he finally didn't have to worry about the strict monitoring of the special department of the central government of the Galactic Federation, Gong Yaming found a random leisure bar near the remote space airport in Grina City and connected to a private site in the star network.

After the call, I waited for 10 minutes, and finally there was a response, but it was not a video image, but a very original text message: "Boss, are you okay, there has been no news from you for 58 days, and I have been worried." ”

Looking at the three-dimensional text displayed on the projection screen, Gong Yaming replied with a wry smile: "Miss housekeeper, do you need to be so careful on a private channel?" ”

"Boss, there's always nothing wrong with being careful at any time and place." Yabobang's housekeeper Miss Xu Guilun wrote.

Gong Yaming couldn't refute such words, so he had to carefully write the information that the Turineites would launch a full-scale invasion of the human world to Xu Guilun.

"Boss, where did you get the information that the D Alliance is going to launch an unprecedented merger and acquisition of our business federation, and is it really reliable?" After getting this amazing news, Xu Guilun, who rarely questioned Gong Yaming, replied after an interval of more than 1 minute.

"Miss housekeeper, the inside line is very reliable, and the news is beyond doubt." Gong Yaming typed this line without hesitation.

"Then you should come back and take charge of the big picture, boss." Xu Guilun replied immediately.

Gong Yaming thought for a while and wrote: "The offensive of mergers and acquisitions in the early stage will not be too fierce, you are careful, you will definitely be able to stabilize the situation."

I have one more important thing to do, and if I don't take advantage of the fact that the D-League hasn't gone crazy now, I'm afraid it's hard to have a chance to complete it in a short period of time. ”

Guessing Gong Yaming's greedy mood, Xu Guilun replied: "Boss, no matter how high the profit is, your safety is not as important, in such an extraordinary period, the situation is often difficult to grasp, please be sure to think about it." ”
