In the Seventh Sector, the border of the Soma Domain, merchant ships roam the shipping routes like migrating beasts.

At the end of the route, there is a commercial world called Soma 4, where every drop of seawater has been drained of the once ocean planet, and the layers of nest cities occupy almost every surface of the planet, even filling the originally bottomless trenches.

Due to its high urban coverage, most of the residents of the lower and lower floors, except for the VIP area on the upper floor and some of the middle nests, can only live in darkness that even the light of the stars cannot glimpse.

Under the operation of the global enterprises with capital spread over half the galaxy, this is a paradise that businessmen yearn for, and it is a golden hometown on the road to wealth.

An elite paradise where everything is measured by the interests of capital.

......

In the commercial starport on the border, it is time for employees to change shifts.

Today's headlines are being broadcast in the cafeteria, and the host from the Voice of Reason program group is shouting in an enthusiastic voice.

"Heavy! Once again, the conspiracy of the thugs at the bottom has been crushed! Glory to the great Universal Board of Directors! ”

Hearing this, the customs clerks who looked like foxes at the dinner table seemed to be in their spirits instantly, and they pricked up their ears and waited for the next announcement.

"The results of today's Death Lotto will be announced below! In the repression against yesterday's bottom, the glorious corporate soldiers achieved the record of ~"

As the host lowered his tone in a tricky manner, the atmosphere in the cafeteria was tense for a while.

"75 people!"

In an instant, the employees who were eating the protein bar began to get agitated.

“MD！ Just a little bit! ”

With a snap, an unlucky ghost angrily slapped the lottery ticket in his hand on the table, while his companion on the side came over gloatingly.

I saw that the words [73] were written on it, and it was the number of the results that he had bet on the company's soldiers, and it was clear that he had just missed out on a prize.

"It's a pity that there are only two people missing~"

As he spoke, he patted the other man on the shoulder, signaling that he wanted to open a little.

At this moment, the heater in the corner of the dining table suddenly alerted that the balance was insufficient, and a 60-second countdown appeared in the center of the screen.

The employee knew that if he didn't renew the heater in time, his lunch would be sent to the trash can attached to him when the countdown was over.

Not only does it cost money to heat food, but everyone born in the Soma Star Domain is regarded as the property of the company from the moment they land, and everything in the future can be said to revolve around the number of balances.

It's no exaggeration to say that even every breath of air inhaled here is charged.

"Those damned Sivirs......"

"If they're working harder, the Lotto prize will be mine, and that's enough money to pay off my 77 years of debt, I've calculated."

"It's only been 77 years, I remember how much you owe the company in total?"

In the face of his companion's inquiry, after renewing the heater on the side, I only listened to him say casually without care.

"200 years."

Just then, the director's strange roar was heard over the radio.

"Ho!"

"Kaihei! Get me out to Room Three! If you dare to be late, I'll fire you tomorrow! ”

Listening to the high-pitched sound that seemed to be made by pinching his nose, the clerk named Cay Hugh sighed, and then pushed the lunch box he had just taken out of the heater in front of his companion.

"I've got you."

After that, when he got up and was about to leave, he seemed to think of something.

"By the way, the next big lottery will buy it for me, and it will still press 73 people."

......

......

Walking down the long hallway, standing in front of the ornately decorated VIP room, Cay Hughie once again straightened his chest tie.

He knew that he was about to face the company's VIP customers, and as a guide, he could not afford to make a mistake even in the smallest details.

After all, the mood of these big customers is good or bad, but it deeply affects their future fate.

After taking a deep breath, Cay Hugh solemnly pushed open the door in front of him.

What comes into view is the ultra-luxurious reception room, where the aroma of expensive Sumerian fruit wine wafts through the air in a cozy environment.

As a rule, the supervisor will only take it out when entertaining the most special dignitaries.

"Boy! Why did you come so late? ”

The moment he entered the room, the already impatient director rushed over, and his soft head shaped like an octopus had already risen with anger.

With the help of the afterglow, Kaixiu secretly looked at the soft seat in front of him, and the first thing he saw was a familiar figure.

Sitting on the side was the leader of the Ram Chamber of Commerce, the little man Ram Chi, who was privately known as the rat people.

However, judging from the other party's slightly jealous look, it seems that the protagonist who needs to be received this time is not him.

"Squeak...... Boss, is there anything else you would like to explain......"

Unexpectedly, the once arrogant leader of the Chamber of Commerce was actually like a little lamb at the moment, and even spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that the other party would eat him.

I have to say that this is a strange phenomenon.

"Nothing, so we can go?"

The speaker was a young man with a ceremonial gray cloak and a white mask with no facial features hidden under the hood.

He had a dark gold cross of stars and crescent hanging from his chest, and from the first impression alone, he looked like a religious person.

Next to the man, there is a girl dressed in the same dress, judging from the hairless and smooth skin exposed, the two seem to be the Emma people in the north of the galaxy, if nothing else, they should be the great nobles of the Emma Empire.

In the face of the questions raised by the guests, the supervisor did not dare to slack off in the introduction.

"Of course...... This is the receptionist who is in charge of the guidance work this time, named Cayhew. ”

As he spoke, Kaixiu bent slightly over the other party as a sign of respect.

For some reason, looking at the white mask on the other party's face, he always felt a little inexplicable in his heart.

For a moment, the young man sitting in the center stood up and came to Kaihei's face unhurriedly.

"I'm interested in Soma IV, and I'm going to have a lot of trouble leading after that, Mr. Cahew."

"By the way, you can call me Gu Fan."

Gu Fan? It's a strange name.

To Kaixiu's surprise, there seemed to be some kind of special magic in the other party's voice, which made people involuntarily have a strange sense of trust.

Through the white mask, he could feel that the other person was watching him.

"This ...... It's my pleasure......"

......

......

At this time, Kai Xiu didn't know, in fact, Gu Fan was quite interested in him at the moment.

After all, it was the first time he had seen a fox that could talk and walk upright.

This couldn't help but make Gu Fan start to doubt, could it be that after the human race encountered a crisis, the animals in those zoos went to the sky one after another?

Lizards, rats, octopuses and foxes, he couldn't be sure what would happen to him next.

As things stand, this universe may be even more interesting than you think.
