Chapter 41: The Truth

"Ahh I'm going to report to this school too. When the young man heard this, he was immediately excited.

"Really?" Lucy was a little skeptical of her ears, how could it be so coincidental.

"Looks like we're going to be classmates." The young man patted his chest, "My name is Li Jun, what about you?" ”

"Lucy." Lucy smiled.

After the drunken man made such a fuss, Lucy was completely sleepy, and happened to meet a new classmate, so she proposed to Li Jun to go to the leisure area to sit and chat while eating.

The two of them arrived at the spaceship's recreation area. This area is on the upper level of the ship and is full of dreamy hues. Some of the passengers are enjoying their freedom alone, while others are chatting and laughing in groups.

From the moment the ship enters the cruising phase, the dome and four walls of the recreation area have been set to be transparent, and the view of space can be seen from the inside without obstruction. The ground is also a star-like hue. Being in it is like floating among the stars of the universe.

Lucy and Li Jun found a quiet corner and sat down, ordered two drinks and a plate of snacks from the waiter, and chatted happily.

After a while, several men came to Lucy's next seat, and their appearance and accent were somewhat similar to those of the Martian natives, but the difference between the two was still large, and it was easy to distinguish between the two. Lucy thinks they're probably new immigrants to Mars.

"Let's have a drink." Said one of the bearded men.

Another well-mannered man hurriedly stopped him: "Second brother, don't drink, look at the eldest brother who was drunk like that, something happened, and now he has been locked up by the spaceship guards and sobered up." I don't know how to punish it in the future, and it is estimated that at least some civic points will be deducted. As you know, if we don't meet the citizenship scores, our mining company will be revoked in the future. ”

The sound of their conversation reached Lucy's ears as well. She also knew what they meant by the "Citizenship Score," referring to the scoring system developed by the Martian Federal Government for Martian citizens. This scoring system is decisive for new immigrants' qualifications for such important matters as obtaining Martian Federation citizenship, operating and mining Martian minerals, and serving as Martian federal government officials. If the score does not meet the corresponding criteria, you will not be eligible for the relevant qualifications.

If a new immigrant has previously obtained the corresponding qualifications, they will also be disqualified if they are not eligible for the citizenship score due to the penalty deduction of points for illegal acts.

Lucy guessed that the men might be mining Martian minerals, so they were worried about deducting points and canceling their business rights.

Unexpectedly, another thin man said loudly and dissatisfiedly: "What is there to worry about, anyway, our minerals will be taken over by those guys from the Interstellar Mining Group sooner or later." ”

Lucy had also heard of Interstellar Mining Group, the most powerful mining company in the entire solar system, which operated and mined minerals from all the planets of the solar system. Lucy has read news reports that more than half of Mars' minerals are owned by the company.

At this time, the man who was called the "second brother" took over the conversation: "It's all because they deceive people too much, take advantage of them, and force many people to be cornered, so they will make those things." ”

"For example, someone tied up the young master of this company at the Platinum Hotel in the Earth One Space City before, but it didn't work out in the end." The skinny man continued.

Hearing this, Lucy's heart trembled. She hurriedly asked the man when this happened, and when she got the answer of "two years ago", Lucy was stunned for a long time. She knew that this was the event she had experienced with Kevin, and she still remembered it vividly, and it turned out that there was still such a reason.

And what she didn't expect was that Kevin, who had been friends for two years since she met him, turned out to be the young master of the Interstellar Mining Group! And he never mentioned it in front of himself...
