Chapter 5: Russell's Gift

In preparation for their trip back to Sogo, Russell and Delphinium went out shopping on Sunday.

Although he no longer has any relatives to run to on Sogo Island, Russell still has some friends to play with.

In contrast, with the character and talent of "Russell", it is difficult to be hated even if he does not disguise his personality.

Looks are closer to "cute" and "pretty" than handsome. However, Russell does not have the kind of hesitant soft character, nor is he cowardly enough to make people feel offended, but is quite bold and neat. It feels like it's closer to "a neutral beautiful girl with a free and bold personality" than a "delicate and beautiful beautiful girl".

Although the family conditions are not good, Alice has taught Russell not to be too stingy since he was a child.

Even if he only has a bag of snacks, he can easily share them with his friends. Even if each of his partners has more than ten times more pocket money than him, Russell never asks the other party to buy this and that for him.

But with Russell's likability, he will not be hypocritical when he is fed.

And his physical agility and academic performance are also at the top level. In addition to the fact that his strength is really small, he always needs help with things like lifting heavy objects...... In other ways, Russell was always helpful. He also has a good personality himself, he doesn't get angry even if he is joked, and he can play with almost everyone.

So Russell's "friends" are quite complicated.

From the lecturer of Sogo University, the company dog in the Sogo group, the bishop of the Cyber Church...... To the *** person who is wanted for killing his boss, the arms dealer who sells guns in the black zone, and the leader of an underground gang, it can be said that anyone can have it.

"When I came to Happiness Island, I didn't actually say goodbye to my friends."

Russell drove the float car and said to the delphinium sitting in the back with some nostalgia, "Because I'm afraid that if I tell them, I might be stopped by them."

"Many of them know that I used to want to go to Theosophical Heavy Industries. And some people want me to do it with them...... Happiness Island seemed to them to be a home that didn't fit so well with me. If they had known that I had chosen to go to the Island of Happiness only because of Alice's last wish and not my own, they would have stopped me outright. γ€Œ

"But wouldn't that be too violent?"

Delphinium frowned, "After all, that's your mother's last wish."

"Indeed."

Russell said helplessly, "But not all of my friends like to be reasonable."

Soon, the float car stopped on the middle level of the "Happiness Building". Russell and Delphinium both have their own parking garage here to store their own floats.

No matter how professional security and monitoring are, there will always be omissions or being bought. If a bomb is planted, a virus is planted, or a slow-release poison gas is placed inside the floater, even the big man can be easily assassinated. Therefore, when shopping in such a large shopping mall, the floating cars are parked directly in a separate storage room - although for experts such as Russell and Delphinium who can easily infiltrate the matrix space, this level of security is actually not very different from the non-existent.

But for most wealthy people, they would rather trust machines than security guards.

However, although Russell and Delphinium were allocated two rooms from the company, they actually only needed to use one car.

This new floating car was recently bought by Russell, and the one from the previous Delphinium was given to her father. It was still a public car approved with the public funds of the Executive Department when Delphinium had just worked, and he didn't actually pay for it. Although it can still be used, if it is based on the standard of multi-person behavior, the space in the back seat is a little smallβ€”β€”β€”β€” the specifications of the car are "small", and theoretically only the back seat can sit two people facing each other. There is a small table in the middle of the back seat, but if you are a little bigger, your knees will easily touch the table.

If you follow a less safe ride...... The driver sat on a horizontal sofa anyway, and there were one or two people squeezed next to him. after

If you curl up, you can sit in about four small units.

But Russell was lying on the bed at the time and thought about it, as if there was no need for this.

The time they were almost killed by a mud truck was because the Delphinium's floating car couldn't drive too many people, so they changed to other ways of traveling.

So Russell simply took out one-third of his savings and directly bought a car of the same model as the black wreckage.

Floating cars are designed to meet business needs, and the back seats are all face-to-face. And the back seat of this car can not only easily seat four people, but its height is also enough. Even if there is a big man with horns on his head, there is no need to bend over.

Moreover, the last row where the delphinium is now sitting has directly turned into a soft sofa. It can also be flattened back at any time to turn into a double bed with a width of 1.8 and a small bedside table.

The boss of the black skeleton often takes his girls in this luxury "RV" and pulls them out to the sea for a ride.

It is not a pure oil drive or a floating car with a mixture of oil and gas, but a more difficult oil-gas and electricity balanced three-wheel drive.

Its floating technology is based on the latest "Solar Compass Type III" Spiritual Floating Disk produced in Troth, which uses the same technology as the Triple Disc of Sun Island. Able to accelerate to 480 km/h without overflowing the glass - this stability value is more than four times that of the previous model used by the Delphinium. This speed can basically only be driven by Al, and the "driver" can only play a role in route planning.

Its powerful levitation device allows it to shoot directly on the surface of the sea and stay afloat after leaving the island. After a circle around the sea, climb back up the Mage Tower, and return to Happiness Island along the minaret in the center of the lower city.

This is undoubtedly quite a thrilling "ride". Whether it's a parabolic full speed, a bungee jump from an empty island to the sea and a splash, or a long-distance 90-degree vertical climb on the way back, it's all more exciting than a roller coaster.

The most exciting thing is that every time I come back, I run out of fuel...... When climbing the hill, watching the fuel gauge brush fall off and the tower seems to be a long way from going back, that's the most exciting part.

The boss of the black bones also invited Russell several times to go out with him and the two girls in the back rowβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€” but Russell was already a family man, so he chose to decline every time. And after the official announcement of Russell and Delphinium, he didn't invite Russell to participate in this kind of messy occasion again.

Obviously, although the eldest brother looks rude, he still has no problem with emotional intelligence. He knew that this might cause conflict on Russell's side. It is only on occasions that the delphinium will not be misunderstood, and Russell will be invited to play together, or simply invite the delphinium together.

The previous model of the Delphinium was launched locally by Tianen Group, and the floating technology and stability technology were one era behind, and there would be obvious vibration when the speed was pulled to 120 miles per hour. Russell was always worried that if he flew too fast, the car would fall apart. This time, I directly changed to a new car, and I was finally satisfied.

"It's just a pity...... Although it can fly far, it can't cross the ocean and fly directly to Sogo Island. γ€Œ

Russell sighed, "But I've done the math, it should be able to run more than half the distance." If you can change cars in the middle of the way, you can really fly out."

"It's useless."

The delphinium walked around the table and leaned on the seat behind Russell, playing with Russell's ears: "This is obviously designedβ€”β€”β€”β€” no one can enter the other air islands without passing through the empty boat."

"That's not necessarily ......."

Russell thought of the Heavy Loader: "The Heavy Loader maybe."

"No. Although the floating time is enough, the speed is also enough...... But to drive a heavy plane, you have to connect to the network, and the network is launched from the center of the island."

Tsk. What a pity."

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course it's to go home and show off," Russell said confidently, "and it's time to return home." The most convincing and reassuring way to do that is to tell them...... I'm also having a good time on Happiness Island.

"It's just a pity

, the credits of different islands are not universal. And you can't drive back a large item like a floating car......

"So I'll go back with you."

Delphinium said with a smile, resting her head on Russell's shoulder, "Am I not good enough?"

"But I'm not going to send you out."

Russell said casually, pinching the delphinium's face without looking back: "Help me think about it - is there any famous specialty on Happy Island?"

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦ Do you ask the locals about the specialty? γ€Œ

The delphinium's expression was a little subtle: "I don't know you don't have anything there...... How do you know what is our specialty here? If you want to talk about specialties, you can."

The most valuable export item of Happiness Island is obviously the "idol".

An idol trainee from Happiness Island, who is the highest-level plaything on Seven Sky Island. And Russell is the highest-level existence in this field.

"That's what I said......

Russell pondered: "If I want to say, all kinds of movies, variety shows, and animations on Happiness Island are all specialty. When I was in Sogo, there weren't so many shows. γ€Œ

"Don't you have a TV over there?"

"Yes, yes, but not so much. Generally, there is one news station, one movie station, and two or three stations for animation and TV series. Variety shows are rare things...... Our variety show there is a mess. It's like a group of social terrorists taking turns in prison under the camera. I can only pay online to watch some variety show videos smuggled from Happiness Island."

Russell whispered with some nostalgia, "But because it's too expensive, I can't see it. I'll rub other people's brains to see ......."

"Is it wired?"

Delphinium said suddenly.

"What?"

Russell didn't react for a moment.

Delphinium added, "Is it a wired direct connection?"

"Sometimes, right...... Sometimes it's screen projection."

"Then when you go back this time, you can't connect directly with others by wire."

"You have a lot of secrets now, and you can't just connect with others."

"I know," the corners of Russell's mouth rose slightly, "I'm only on a wire with you, no problem, right?"

"That's pretty much ......."

The delphinium snorted and retracted into her seat, waiting for Russell to stop the float.

And then, it occurred to her: "I said, why don't you buy some of that and try it?"

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦ Huh? γ€Œ

When Russell heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"

As they returned, Bad Day couldn't help but look at the pack of things Russell and Delphinium had brought back, and couldn't help but show a subtle expression.

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦ How did you buy a bunch of messy stuff and come back with this stuff as a gift or souvenir? γ€Œ

"Don't talk nonsense, this is already the level of smuggling."

Russell looked at the large pile of things and couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for me and Delphinium going on a private airboat business trip this time, it would be really difficult to get through."

"β€”β€”β€”β€”So in addition to daily necessities, you bought a bunch of collection versions of variety shows, film and television drama videos, and adult versions of transcendental data chips."

Bad Day looked at the chip full of a suitcase on the table, and couldn't help but show the expression of the old man's subway mobile phone: "Although it's not even at the taboo level, but this thing ...... It's essentially the same as the film, so you're sure you want to give this kind of thing to your former friends."

Hearing this, it was Russell and Delphinium who looked at him with strange eyes, which made Bad Day take a step back with a little weakness: "...... Why?"

"I say...... I remember you didn't have a girlfriend."

Russell looked up and said with a subtle expression, "You haven't ever touched this kind of thing, have you?"

Bad Day glared at Russell when he heard this: "This thing β€”β€”β€” this kind of thing, and I'm more or less a swordsman." Is there any value in this filthy and unclean thing?"

"And you're the highest-ranking wanted criminal

, it is obviously impossible to go to the compass area and the giant screen area to play; As far as I know, you don't have any friends of the opposite sex; Most of them have no way to buy Sogo Island servants..."

Russell's gaze at Bad Sun suddenly became more subtle.

He hesitated for a moment, and patted Bad Day, who was a full round older than him, on the shoulder: "You're an adult, too."

As he spoke, Russell gave a chip to Bad Day. He thought about it for a moment and stuffed him with a few more.

"If I have the chance, I'll try to bring a servant back to you. In this way, when you are old, you will be able to have a companion somewhat."

Russell comforts Bad Day.

Bad Day was so angry that his teeth itched: "You have a great wife, aren't you?"

"One to say, one to say, that's trueβ€”you just say if you want it."

"No, I'm not interested in this kind of stuffβ€”"

The voice of the bad day was a little louder.

"Otherwise," Russell interrupted Bad Day abruptly, "I won't notify the strangulation and the bad guys, lest they see it." Those two fools can't act. It just so happened that I was quite tired from visiting the mall today, so Flody and I stayed at home to rest...... In return, I'll give you a box of chips, right?"

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦ That's fine."

After the bad day left, Russell shrugged silently at the delphinium.

Delphinium leaned over with a wicked smile, put her hands under the hem of Russell's clothes, and touched Russell's chest: "You're still afraid that they will see what their acting skills will see, um."

"Do you know I can't touch you right now, you're getting bolder...... You can't mean to tease me, do you? Moreover, I am now the main body, so what is there to touch!"

"Then change it for me!"

On Monday morning, when he and Delphinium went to work...... His Uncle Dodkison, the director of the Big Orange Board, came to the Special Operations Department and announced to Russell and Delphinium that they were going to Sogo Island on a business trip immediately.

This instruction from Chairman Seron obviously made Dodkison very uneasy.

He specially repeatedly told Russell and Delphinch to pay attention to safety on the road, and then accompanied them back to pack their luggage, sent them all the way to the empty boat, and stuffed some gold bars for Russell, and told him to say yes - remember to change them into credits when you get to the place.

The credits of different air islands are not universal, but the gold of this era is still a serious hard currency.

High-purity gold is an essential material for floating devices. Therefore, it is restricted in circulation to a certain extent. Only the executives of the Big Seven were able to buy a small amount of gold bars with credits from the local branch of Tho Zero.

As long as you have gold bars in hand, you can sell them from Thotranic's side for credits. The high commission of credits on the black market is also related to Thothronic and gold smuggling.

Holding a high-class equivalent that retains the full value even when it crosses different islands and is not common to the islands is a status symbol.

The gold bars that Dodkison gave Russell must have been about one-third of his deposit. And they just met for the first time a year ago...... In his uncle's position, Dodgson has reached the limit of what he can do.

Russell looked at his somewhat haggard face, as well as his fat face, which had lost a lot of weight, and he was also a little speechless.

Obviously, the radicalization of "Seron" and the other elven directors has put too much pressure on these human directors.

But his uncle is obviously also an honest man who can't hide things in his heart.

If he knew too much, perhaps Russell's plan would have been different.

So he was still ruthless and didn't tell him anythingβ€”β€”β€”β€” the emperor and Bingshui Russell had already passed through the qi. With the old emperor looking at him, it shouldn't be a big problem.

By the time Russell and Delphinium boarded the airship, Russell was already thinking about Ultramarine's death.

Today is May 8th, and Russell's birthday is May 11th...... They would have to spend at least their birthday on Sogo Island, and then they might not be back for a few more days.

β€”β€”β€”β€”Then the day when the rumors are released will be set on the 11th.
