"My name is Dai Xiaolou, although my name is a little feminine, but you must not doubt my real gender. Moreover, I'm not a pseudo-mother, let alone a homosexual. ”

This opening statement can be described as special, and it also has another special meaning. Looking at Dai Xiaolou's cynical hippie face, Su Hao couldn't help but wonder. It could be seen that the Imperial Colonel, who was wearing the uniform of the main army, was not hostile, nor was he as harsh and harsh as he had just faced Brigadier General Baddam.

The two men shook hands and sat down.

"You have now become a great gold mine that has been targeted by many imperial nobles."

Dai Xiaolou spoke very directly and went straight to the core of the problem: "I can help you solve a lot of troubles." The premise is, I have to see if you're worth it? ”

Su Hao narrowed his eyes: "What, you also want those imperial contribution points?" ”

"Come on! I don't want to be the target of the nobles in your place. ”

Dai Xiaolou was very addicted to smoking, took out another cigarette and lit it, and kept smoking: "I am on business, you hand in the biological samples that the empire needs, and I will issue rewards according to your needs." Well, saying too many polite words is just a waste of time. According to the conclusion of the Imperial Research Department, the Biological Sample 1029 is only a fully developed larvae. What I want to know is, where did you find it? Were there any other dark creatures at that time? ”

Su Hao did not hide it at all, and shot Wang Li that day, and also explained in detail the whole process of the "baby" parasite. In order to make the narrative more complete and show that he was not lying, Su Hao called the mercenary Kenson and others, and also brought Lacemeres, who was imprisoned in the 22nd squad station.

"This is the mother of that biological sample."

Su Hao pointed to Rusteses, who was in a cage, and said seriously, "It is a dark female, and it is also a very rare mutant. I examined it in detail and found that a new larvae of the same type were forming in its body. This should be a remote mind control skill, like a probe that we unleash. The difference is that the creature hatchling is capable of having a parasitic effect on the target, thus gaining the opponent's combat and memory abilities. The larvae are very viable and extremely adaptable to the environment. Even a high-ranking powerhouse would find it difficult to resist this kind of parasitism from close range. ”

Dai Xiaolou has a strong interest in the Brushmercess watch. He leaned close to the cage for several minutes, and very maliciously flicked the ash onto Racemeress. The poor dark creature roared, its body writhing involuntarily, but it slammed into the metal thorns tied to the other sides of the cage, stinging more and more and screaming louder.

"Hey, hey, hey! It's a nice toy. It's a pity that it has to be handed over to the cold guys at the Imperial Research Institute to take over. ”

Dai Xiaolou shook his head with regret, trying to dispel the dirty idea of wanting to stuff the cigarette butt between Lacemerces's legs to see how it reacted next, straightened up, and snapped his fingers at Su Hao.

"I'm glad it was worth it."

He took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, held it in his mouth but did not light it, smiled strangely at Su Hao, and said, "You know? Your current situation is even more dangerous than when that guy was there. ”

Su Hao had a puzzled look in his eyes. He instinctively felt that Dai Xiaolou should not be his enemy. But why do you say such threatening words?

So, he shook his head slightly.

"You're just a fool who doesn't know anything!"

Dai Xiaolou held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at him with pity: "The biological sample No. 1029 you handed in has been defined as the highest level discovery by the Imperial Research Institute. According to the newly promulgated regulations, the reward for "S" Rank finds is up to 1,000 Imperial Contribution. You have to understand that the "S" class is just a kind of target boundary. Discoveries beyond this limit will naturally be rewarded with more than a thousand points. ”

Su Hao interjected: "So, how many contribution points can I get?" ”

"One thousand five, or two thousand."

Dai Xiaolou lifted his foot and kicked the iron cage containing Razmerces, causing another collision and causing the dark creature to scream. With a raging perverted smile, he said, "How much, depending on my report." On top of that, you can get more. ”

As he spoke, Dai Xiaolou glanced at Lacemers, who was trampled underfoot, and spat at it with a thick phlegm that was extremely dirty, and it happened to fall on Lacemeress's face: "This mother is also very good." It was rated even higher than the juvenile sample. If you were to ask what it was actually worth......"

Dai Xiaolou took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, looked at Su Hao seriously, raised his right hand, and stretched out three fingers: "It should be worth three thousand points, and the gold coins for other rewards are counted separately." ”

After speaking, he carefully observed Su Hao's expression, and his tone became cynical again, as if a hooligan was molesting a woman from a good family: "Now, you should be able to understand what I just said, right?" ”

Su Hao's calm heart suddenly swelled with turbulent waves, and even his mind was accompanied by bursts of dizziness.

Regardless of material rewards, the benefits of the empire's contribution points alone can be as high as four thousand five hundred, or five thousand, or even higher.

This is also an exaggeration.

However, this is also a fact that no one can deny.

Larthmerces was originally a scarce female creature in the Dark World. Mutants are extremely rare in males, let alone females. If the male-to-female ratio of the Dark World is considered to be one to one, then the probability of mutant individuals appearing is equivalent to one million to one, or even lower.

Five thousand Imperial Contribution Points sounds like a lot, but they are nothing compared to the actual research value of Larthmerces. What's more, Lacemeress's current mutation skills are at most at the elementary stage. If she hides deeper and becomes fully grown, joining the war between humanity and the dark world is likely to be a key factor in determining the outcome of a major battle. Even if you don't count the credit of Su Hao's surrender of biological samples and their mothers, the fact that he captured Lacemerses alive alone is enough to be worthy of these huge contribution points.

Danger and benefit coexist. One thousand contribution points attracted so many nobles, so it is conceivable that once the news that Su Hao alone holds as many as five thousand points spreads, how terrifying the situation in Konoha Town will be? It is not only the viscounts and barons who are at the bottom of the aristocratic class, but even the marquis and dukes with a long family background.

Su Hao didn't think that he still had the kind of opportunity to stir up right and wrong in front of Baddam. It takes just the right time, and it's very rare to get it once. Not to mention that there is a second and third time.

Suppressing the panic and panic in his heart, Su Hao barely cheered up and said, "As long as you don't announce the reward information, I won't be in trouble." ”

"It can't be!"

Dai Xiaolou's answer shattered Su Hao's last bit of luck: "This kind of reward can maximize the fighting courage of imperial soldiers, even civilians will feel excited and stimulated." Moreover, ordinary people have always been dissatisfied with the corruption index of imperial officials. They demand that any kind of reward be open and transparent. Your name will be included in the latest issue of the Imperial Military Bulletin, and it will be broadcast as news in various media outlets. Congratulations, in twenty hours at most, or less, you'll be the most eye-catching star since the Empire enacted the Contribution Point System. ”

Su Hao stared at Dai Xiaolou with dark eyes, and his tone became strange: "What, do you want me to die?" You yourself said that those nobles would never let me go. ”

"That's right, you seem to them to be a big golden pig's head. Fatty, fatty, and oily when you bite into it. ”

"You seem to be gloating?"

"Why not? There are not many things in life that are worth being happy about. As a bystander, it's a good show. ”

Su Hao glanced at Dai Xiaolou, who was full of ridicule: "Can I not want these rewards?" ”

"Of course not!"

Dai Xiaolou showed a mysterious smile full of charm: "You have to accept them." Otherwise, the relevant departments of the empire will check all those who handle it, and they will also slice and study you like a monster. It's like if you bought an Imperial Welfare Lottery ticket for a copper plate and won the jackpot of five million gold coins. You take the lottery ticket and run to the center of the redemption huàn and claim that you don't want the money. Do you think this kind of thing is possible? Even if you want to be incognito, the media will dig up all of your qiē. You can donate this money, or you can spend it in the shortest possible time, but the only thing you can't do is resolutely don't. ”

"Spend them?"

Su Hao somewhat understood Dai Xiaolou's intentions, and nodded lightly: "Can you give me anything?" ”

Dai Xiaolou touched the stubble on his cheek, and his voice was leisurely: "I estimated it according to five thousand contribution points." You have to understand that the commoners are the lowest class of the empire, and on the surface, you have the right to vote, but that kind of thing is just a way of deceiving fools and honest people. Officials are appointed directly from above, and no one will take your votes seriously. So, even if you're not a resident of the Empire's realm, but a mercenary, a dark hunter, the most important thing is to try to increase your social rank. ”

"According to the decree signed by His Majesty the Emperor, the status of soldiers is higher than that of civilians, and the status of officers is higher than that of ordinary soldiers. From an ordinary soldier to a second lieutenant, you'll need to cross the ranks of corporal, sergeant, sergeant, and senior non-commissioned officer. You have a lot of contribution points in your hands, and I will make you directly exchange your points for your rank, and in total, you can become a senior non-commissioned officer by spending five, ten, twenty, and fifty points respectively. Then, one hundred points for the promotion of second lieutenant, two hundred points for lieutenant, and five hundred points for captain. That's pretty much the limit of 1,000 contribution points. But that's not enough, you need to come up with another thousand points, add a little nice tricks to your epaulettes, and become a major. ”

Su Hao glanced at the colonel's badge on Dai Xiaolou's shoulder, and asked suspiciously, "Major?" A school officer like you? ”

"No, no, no, I'm an officer of the main legion, and you're completely different from me."

Dai Xiaolou patiently explained: "Relying on contribution points to get promoted, you can only serve as an officer in Category B troops, that is, local units of the Imperial Regular Army. If you want to become an officer of the main legion, you must pass the guò selection. That process is very complex, and it is not possible to implement it directly for contribution points to promote officers. But no matter what, as long as you take this step, you will no longer be an ordinary civilian at the mercy of others, but an imperial officer. Even if a nobleman wants to do something to you, he must weigh the consequences. ”

Su Hao thought for a moment and asked, "I remember that when I was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel, I only needed three thousand contribution points. According to the algorithm you just made, I have enough points in my hand, why don't I just get promoted to lieutenant colonel? ”

"That's what I'm going to tell you next."

Dai Xiaolou's face was calm and calm: "Have you ever heard of the space converter?" ”

"Nope!"

"It's a special device that relies on the energy of the hedron to drive it, so as to produce a link effect with another dimension."

Dai Xiaolou's voice was obviously seductive: "The territory of the empire is very vast, and the same is true of the dark world. In fact, the world is not what you think it is. There are many unfamiliar areas that have not yet been set foot by us and the dark creatures. We don't know why there are these places where zài exists. The space converter has been in existence for too long, who is the specific inventor? We ourselves have forgotten. Not only us, but the Dark World also has the manufacturing technology for such a device. It's complicated, it's very delicate, it consumes a lot of precious resources, and a huge amount of special metals. Hehe! This situation has now changed. The cost of manufacturing the Space Converter was reduced by more than sixty percent, and many of the Imperial nobles had this kind of thing. You can find its name in the latest Contribution Points table for huàn. It's very cheap, only 2,500 points. ”

I don't know why, Su Hao suddenly associated the name "space converter" with the "time shuttle" in his memory.

After thinking about it, Su Hao asked: "What is the specific function of the space converter?" Is it just connecting to another world? ”

"It's another part of the world that connects us right now."

Dai Xiaolou corrected the mistake in Su Hao's words: "We are not completely familiar with this world, and there are many parts that cannot be set foot in by normal means, and we must rely on space converters to reach them. ”

Su Hao slowly frowned: "The part that can't be set foot in? ”

"It's not strange!"

Dai Xiaolou was still smiling: "There are always some special areas that cannot be reached by normal means. For example, in the ocean and underground, submarines and roadheaders must be relied upon. Don't be bound by habitual thinking in your brain, you are a smart person who should see and think more than the average person. ”

Su Hao had a long-standing question in his mind, and blurted out: "If you want to reach the sky behind the clouds, you need to take a plane?" ”

The smile on Dai Xiaolou's face turned into doubt, and he looked at Su Hao incomprehensibly: "Airplane? What is Airplane? ”

"In my imagination, there should be a flying machine, like an airship. Shouldn't flying machines be called airplanes? ”

Su Hao explained with a natural expression. The first time he learned from Gao Mo that there were no planes in the third stage of the world, he was indeed shocked. Now, Su Hao is completely immune to similar answers. It's just that I don't know why, every time he meets different types and different classes of people, he always wants to lead the topic in this direction intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to hear different answers.

"Airplanes?"

Dai Xiaolou frowned and repeated the unfamiliar word. He looked at Su Hao and nodded thoughtfully: "What you said has a certain truth. However, an airship is an airship, not an airplane. Otherwise, according to what you said, the maglev car should also be renamed and it would be more appropriate to call it "flying car". ”

Although the other party did not show a sarcastic expression, Su Hao could hear that his questions and statements about the plane were quite stupid in Dai Xiaolou's opinion. But no matter what, this young officer of the main army of the empire does have a good impression of him, and it can even be said that he is close to him from the heart. And it's not the gay kind.

Su Hao's smile was a little reluctant, he tried to suppress the idea of wanting to cut a piece of meat from Dai Xiaolou's body and taste it, and asked another question that he had to know the answer to.

"What do I get if I become a major in the Imperial Army?"

"That's the key I'm going to sue you next!"

Dai Xiaolou put away the bewitching smile on his face, and his handsome and thin face looked full of energy, releasing a solemnity that could not be ignored. He flicked the cigarette butt between his fingers and rubbed the soles of his boots back and forth against the ground, his voice low and clear.

"The main legion is not a special force that can only be sustained entirely on the finances of the Empire. Each main legion has a complete set of independent operating systems. As you can see, we have special combat mechs with completely different weapon configurations from the regular Imperial Army. The companion weapons we use are more powerful and have stronger armor. But neither the model nor the style could be obtained by the regular army of the Reich from normal channels. In a word, the "Fist of Steel" has its own manufacturing plant and logistics center. But at all times, we are loyal to the Emperor and resolutely obey every order from His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"We need a servant army."

Dai Xiaolou pointed out the theme he wanted to express: "Every soldier of the main army is indispensable. Without them, it would be impossible to guarantee a sufficiently strong legional combat effectiveness. Nothing in this world is perfect, and the same is true of war. We are in charge of the frontal battlefield, and the secondary fronts are left to the regular army. The most powerful offensive spearhead must have the strongest supporting foundation. The "Fist of Steel" has a large group of servants, who are responsible for many things, such as the end of the battlefield, the replenishment of supplies, the collection of resources, and so on. It is precisely because of these people that the "Iron Fist" can always maintain a strong and powerful momentum, crushing an enemy who dares to challenge us.
