84 Although they went to the sea, they were free. 】
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Chen wouldn't have believed that there were actually half planets in the universe revolving around the stars as if nothing had happened.
It is not an ordinary half, but the remaining half is like being cut off by a sword, floating alone in the orbit of the planet.
The other half, nowhere to be found.
Lu Chen thought to himself, "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" is not a deception.
Its northern hemisphere, like the surface of a normal planet, is home to vast farms and huge modern cities.
In the southern hemisphere, the sea is as flat as a mirror, dotted with thousands of sandy islands.
If there are native natives on the islands, then they will definitely come to the same conclusion as the European gods:
The earth is flat.
Beneath the surface of the sea, the core of the earth has been dug out, forming a huge pit.
The planet loses its core, but can still maintain its magnetic field and gravitational force, and its stable revolution and rotation are the credit of the planetary formation.
It is said online that this is most likely a very trendy way of mining.
Lu Chen doesn't believe in this statement, cutting through an entire planet is not as simple as blowing up a planet with a star destroyer, it takes a lot of engineering problems and consumes a lot of spiritual energy, what kind of minerals can be made up?
This is the destination of Lu Chen's trip.
An interstellar post station located at the intersection of multiple route branches: the Thousand Islands Sea.
This interstellar post station belonging to the uncrowned country is the only pure flat sea in the universe to passers-by adventurers or tourists.
Lu Chen has always felt that his perennial air force may have been adversely affected by the deflection of the magnetic field and the curvature of the water surface.
The Thousand Islands Sea is likely to be a stop for him to prove himself!
The Leonin arrived outside the atmosphere of the Kuril Islands, and a guard of honor consisting of six frigates escorted the ship to the central square of the Northern Hemisphere.
The king, known as the "benevolent dictator", set up a huge podium in advance in the square, and greeted the three of Lu Chen with a group of beautiful princesses.
The sense of ceremony is full!
On either side, there are flowers with applause and media cameras.
There were various shouts from the crowd:
"Cyon Star Heroes!"
"Ellie is the best in the world!"
"It's so cute, help!"
"Make your debut, Ellie!"
"Golia, Golia, Golia, Golia, Golia!"
The more Lu Chen listened, the more wrong it became.
Calling him out, he was quickly drowned out by the tsunami-like cheers of Ellie and Golia.
The rice circle is really outrageous!
He turned his head to look.
Ellie didn't deliberately dress up, but still wore a neat school outfit, only wearing a blue flower-shaped hairpin.
Because of the nervousness, they are almost walking with the same hands and feet......
It's a little funny, but it also adds a bit of cuteness.
Goliath was wearing a sword blue cloak, but it was matched with a close-fitting purple evening dress, and the tall and plump devil figure was stunned to wear a hell-level match with a fairy effect.
Domineering side leakage, and sassy water.
On the other hand, Lu Chen himself was wearing a men's suit that he bought from Golia and was ready to wear himself...... None of them fit well.
Even if he has outstanding facial features and a good temperament, he can't find a bright spot at all, like a driver carrying bags for the two goddesses.
Fortunately, the focus of the big shots is all on him.
Lu Chen came to the center of the podium and shook hands cordially with King Pennan, who was two meters tall and had a two-meter abdominal circumference.
"Captain Lu went to the Thousand Islands Sea in person, and he missed the distance."
Numerous cameras were pointed at the center of the podium.
For a moment, Lu Chen had the feeling that he was going to be on the news broadcast, and he was a little nervous.
"The Star Lord has a heart!"
King Pennan laughed.
"Hahahaha, half a planet is still a star master, I still like to be called a king."
"Your Majesty is so polite!"
"Not every Idealist Medal winner gets this treatment, Captain Lu is a special person."
"Oh? Where am I? ”
"Especially my daughters love you."
King Pennan said, and a dozen princesses behind him waved at Lu Chen with a smile.
Lu Chen didn't expect that he finally had fans.
is still a princess with 200 catties per capita, a top two!
It can be seen that his fans have much more weight than Ellie and Golia's fans.
Subsequently, King Pennan personally wore the Idealist Medal for Lu Chen and delivered an award speech.
The boastful road dust man is a little fluttering.
In his previous life, he hated the words of fake Dakong the most, but now that he said it to himself, he felt unexpectedly comfortable.
No wonder leaders love ......
Next.
King Pennan held a state banquet for Lu Chen and the three of them at the Star Lord's Mansion.
Lu Chen secretly heard the whispers of the guests, and found that this was actually a paid state banquet, and only the king's family and Lu Chen were free.
The rest of the guests are local politicians and business tycoons from all over the planet.
Ran to take photos with Lu Chen, an idealist, and brush up on contacts.
This seriously affects the pleasure of eating in the road dust.
After all, this was a seafood feast worth thousands of spirit stones.
According to your mother, the king won't give me a share, and you will affect Lao Tzu to eat, if you can't eat it, won't it be a loss?
Eat, you can eat!
As long as you don't die, eat to death!
However, Lu Chen can also see that King Pennan, as the lord of one star, can actually pull down his son and rely on this kind of stingy trick to collect small fortunes, which shows that he did not use his status as a star lord to monopolize the resources of the planet or charge high taxes and fees......
If it's an expert in hollowing out the planet and exploiting the people, who cares about the little money of the dinner?
In fact, King Pennan is called a dictator online by capitalists or hostile forces.
But countless people spoke out for it, calling it a benevolent dictator, and turned the dictator into an honorific title.
The enemy blacked his brain and was full of fat, and he looted the people's fat and people's cream, but Lu Chen understood when he saw his daughters that obesity was the gene of the Pennan family.
Women are beauty-loving animals, and the real rich women are obese in the minority.
They have enough money to eat expensive food that is nutritious, fresh and delicious, and has enough calories.
How can you get fat?
Whether Lu Chen was in his previous life or in the Rust Star, the rich girl he saw not only had a good figure, but also looked like a fairy.
How can there be a group of princesses like a bun of dirt buns......
It is said that the security forces of the Kuril Sea spend a lot, and King Pennan, in addition to making money, is also very budget-conscious.
In addition to medals and dinners, Lu Chen also received a large number of local crafts and paintings of princesses.
There are so many gifts that they are worth a hundred spirit stones.
At the dinner, Lu Chen thought that he could see the tourist business card of the Thousand Islands Sea, the mermaid dance.
As a result, I actually enjoyed a mechanical tank dance danced by the princesses themselves for Lu Chen.
The guests' expressions were stiff, and they shouted in their hearts to return the money, and even their appetite for food and drink was lost.
Save on food!
Maybe it's the effect of the reverse fan filter, Lu Chen feels that the princesses' tank dance is okay.
Although they are too plump, they have good physique, flexible and vigorous movements, and they really have a sense of rhythm of mechanical dance.
Lu Chen ate and drank to his heart's content, and even couldn't help but get up and dance with the fan princesses.
There is nothing wrong with the mechanic dancing mechanic.
Ellie turned on the bracelet camera and quietly took pictures of Lu Chen.
Gloria had a headache when she saw it, and bluntly asked the king:
"I heard that the mermaid dance in the Thousand Islands Sea is very famous, how can Your Majesty fool us with the mechanical dance?"
The king held the wine cup in his hand, and did not drink it for a long time, and sighed helplessly:
"Miss Goliath doesn't know that in the past few years, the Imperial Entertainment Weekly and the Galactic Animal Protection Organization have said that we have enslaved the Fishmen, forcing us to terminate all mermaid shows in the Thousand Islands. But in fact, we signed a performance contract with the fish people, and the salary of the mermaid dancing and acrobatics far exceeded the average salary of the Thousand Island Sea, and they who could not perform returned to poverty because they lost their jobs, and now it has become a major social problem in the Thousand Island Sea, and I am also anxious about it. ”
Goliath listened angrily.
"Isn't that forcing them to go into the sea?"
The king drank the cup of wine, snorted coldly, and said:
"They went to the sea, but they were free...... That's what the Animal Defenders Association seems to say. ”
Lu Chen, who had just finished dancing, heard that the mermaid went to the sea, and he was immediately interested.
"If there is a little better service, I will take care of their business."
The king was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to understand what Lu Chensu meant, and he looked up and laughed:
"Captain Lu is a big hero, young and handsome, and the meat can be free, let alone vegetarian?"
Golia's drunken blushing face was filled with a hint of unprovoked vinegar.
"People are perverted enough, and they still instigate, the fish people are not even mammals, how can they come to meat?"
Lu Chen frowned, thinking to himself, it depends on whether it is a mermaid who is a fish or a mermaid.
Ellie secretly tugged at the corner of Golia's coat and whispered:
"Sister Golia, don't say it, aren't you seducing the captain?"
"Huh?"
Goliath tilted her head and didn't react for a long time.
After the dinner.
"Light", the main media from the uncrowned country, hopes to do an exclusive interview with the original Star Dome adventure group.
Lu Chen doesn't know much about this media.
What's more, he didn't like to be in the media spotlight, so he politely declined the interview request.
On the side, the king, who looked surprised, hurriedly pulled Lu Chen aside and told him:
""Light" will give an interview to idealists, and there will be a reward of 1,000 spirit stones, and if you don't make money, you won't earn it for nothing!"
Only then did Lu Chen remember that in the True Spirit Continent, the reward that "Imperial Entertainment Weekly" was going to give him, the winner of the Hero Medal, for an exclusive interview, was one hundred spirit stones.
Dogs don't do it.
Golia, who was sharp-eared, heard the reward of a thousand spirit stones, and walked over and patted Lu Chen's shoulder.
"Don't be too high, Captain, believe in Light."
One sentence ignited Lu Chen's childhood feelings.
Lu Chen decided to give it a try.
Before accepting the interview, he specially asked the bearded director.
"Do you want to memorize the answer in advance to do an interview, and whether there are sensitive words."
The bearded director comforted him and said:
"Don't worry, it's so dark outside in our uncrowned country, these antique practices must be abandoned, as an idealist, you can answer whatever you want, what we want is the truth."
Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the bearded man added:
"Don't worry, the unreal will be cut out."
Road dust is full of black lines......
However, this can be regarded as the basic exercise of the media industry, there is nothing to criticize, and in the end, it is still the effect of the film.
This makes Lu Chen relaxed, he can say anything, and what he says wrong will eventually be cut off.
Soon, Lu Chen and the three of them got on the interview ship of "Light".
There are also some volunteer students in the studio.
In the eyes of these students, Lu Chen saw the kind of faith in the eyes of the people on the Saion Star.
The host is a well-dressed middle-aged woman.
The person is very beautiful, but he is a little serious, holding a stack of paper documents in his hand, which reminds Lu Chen of a certain scorpion girl.
After a brief greeting and explanation of the precautions, the interview began quickly.
Compere:
"After coming here for more than a month, and getting so much public attention, what do the three of you think?"
Road Dust:
"Ellie, you speak first."
Ellie, she looks a little scared of the camera.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any feelings, and I won't answer questions, the captain's feelings are my feelings, and the captain's answers are my answers, host, sister, I'll just sit and watch you talk."
Compere:
"Don't be nervous, Ellie, that's your truest answer."
"Where's Golia?"
Gloria:
"I don't think I'm getting enough traffic, and the conversion rate is pitiful."
The host looked confused.
"What conversion rate?"
Gloria:
"Of course, it's traffic realization, just like you do media, you want to convert traffic into people's hearts and cohesion, I hope to convert traffic into money, it's best to open a live broadcast account as soon as possible, everyone remember to reward me!"
said that he was embarrassed to look at the camera.
The host was confused for a while.
"While it's a good thing to say it's true, Goliath is too real...... This will lose the powder. ”
"Huh?"
Goliath was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked:
"Then tell me, how can I not lose my powder?"
The host smiled and didn't give Golia a chance.
"Of course, it's to bring fans more exciting adventures, such as continuing to expose the evil face of imperialism, such as winning another idealist medal......"
Gloria looked disappointed and muttered:
"That's so tiring, I like to get something for nothing."
Road Dust:
“……”
The host looked at Lu Chen again.
"Where's the captain?"
"What am I?"
Lu Chen was about to fall asleep.
Compere:
"How did you feel about this journey?"
Road Dust:
"Oh...... My impression is that it is too dangerous to be an adventurer, and if you have a choice, you should not set foot in the Pangea Corridor, because the purpose of many people going to sea is not to take risks, but to trap them halfway and cut the leeks of adventurers. ”
Compere:
"Now that the Black Dragon incident has been exposed, Captain Lu will make others think that you are trying to reduce your competitors."
Road Dust:
"I'm just giving my opinion, who cares what others think? I've been going all the way, and to be honest, luck has taken up a big part, and if I go again, I'll have (earned) and died (more) sooner or later. ”
Compere:
"For the sake of secrecy, we generally don't ask about the interviewee's talents and abilities, I just want to ask, what does Captain Lu think is the most important ability for adventurers?"
Road Dust:
"Rich...... If you don't have money, you have to give an interview. ”
Golia slapped Lu Chen's leg.
"Give me a good talk."
Road Dust:
"If you have money, you can buy the best equipment, hire a strong crew, to make up for any of your shortcomings, for adventurers who have no money, this is a dimensionality reduction blow, no matter how high your talent is, it is difficult to resist, this is the power of money."
Compere:
"Captain Lu means you don't have any money, but how do you find two teammates who are very strong in my opinion?"
Road Dust:
"If you really don't have any money, Shuai can make up for it."
Goliath looked unconvinced, and suddenly pinched Lu Chen's handsome face with both hands, and pulled it horizontally into a disc.
"You're really shameless, I'll ask the host, is this guy handsome?"
The host glanced at Lu Chen, smiled and said:
"I think it's pretty handsome."
Gloria was speechless.
"To be a host, you have to be fair, how can you be fascinated by just a man?"
Compere:
"Doesn't that mean that Captain Lu is quite handsome?"
Gloria was speechless and had to change the subject.
"Can you eat handsome? I'm not more beautiful than him, why are I still so poor? ”
The host shook his head and smiled bitterly, I don't know why the interview was turned into a play by these people.
"As we all know, Captain Lu is a technical shareholder, and Ellie and Goliath also relied on their own abilities to get on the ship, step by step, to discuss the issue of appearance, you are too modest."
Road Dust:
"Ah, yes, you're so right."
Compere:
"I want to ask you what you think about the Black Dragon incident, or from a technical point of view, is there any possibility of falsification in these two videos?"
Road Dust:
"True or not, soon a large number of new leeks will enter the Pangu corridor, craned their necks and waited for the sickle to fall."
Goliath gave him a blank look.
"You're here again, wouldn't it be nice to have a bit of fun?"
Road Dust:
"Even if the video is true, such a small atavistic black dragon only has scientific research value, and it is not enough to stuff your teeth, and it is impossible for you to become an immortal...... If you have already gone to sea, it is still recommended that you enjoy the adventure, don't care too much about dragons and phoenixes, the more you have a goal, the easier it is to be cut leeks, ensure safety, earn less and earn less, don't fight so hard, if everyone thinks so, the traps along the way can be avoided. ”
Gloria:
"Just to be interviewed, you still think of yourself as a life coach?"
Ellie had already picked up a small notebook at some point......
Road Dust:
"I collect money for an interview, I have to say something, is it just like you?"
The moderator smiled.
"It seems that Captain Lu is an adventurer and has some humanistic care, so it is no wonder that he can win the Idealist Medal...... In that case, I suddenly want to ask, what does Captain Lu think of the social system of Saion Star? What else could be improved. ”
"That's an overarching question."
Lu Chen didn't know how to answer.
"The Saion Star system can exist for a thousand years without falling, naturally it has its merits, and what can be improved is that the eldest sister can be more ruthless to the enemy. In addition, I hope that Saiangxing can find a way to improve artistic creativity and create good works to export to the outside world, so as to enhance national self-confidence and institutional self-confidence, and the communication effect of art is far better than this interview. ”
Compere:
"Lack of parental love, will it adversely affect the growth and production of children, lack of artistic cells?"
Road Dust:
Perhaps, this will require more investment into the education industry, so that the love of mentoring and apprenticeship can replace the love of parents. What's more, it is not allowed to get married, have children, and bring friends, Saionxing has a purer love and friendship than the outside...... The main reason why Saiangxing lags behind in art is that it lacks cultural self-confidence and focuses too much on science and engineering in education. ”
After thinking about it, Lu Chen added:
"Of course, the game developed by Cyon Star is quite fun, but it is still too niche and hardcore, which is not conducive to cultural dissemination."
Game enthusiast Gloria rarely agrees with Lu Chen.
"That's not it, the game dogs don't play on the Saion Star."
"Well, I hope the eldest sister will see this interview."
The host said with a smile, and then asked:
"I'm curious, how did the three of them meet, and do you have any interesting stories to share with you in the early days?"
Road Dust:
"It's more about ...... than about meeting"
The two-hour interview went by in a flash.
Lu Chen didn't feel bored unexpectedly, and chatted quite happily.
It is equivalent to taking a thousand spirit stones for nothing.
……
At the end of the interview, after getting the money, Lu Chen gave Ellie and Golia 250 spirit stones as pocket money, and let them spend them casually in the mall.
The other five hundred spirit stones were handed over to Ellie and asked her to help buy the Cleansing Pill and the Healing Pill.
Gloria thought that her pocket money was too little, and proposed:
"The forty-level broken armor on the ship is still sold, it's just that the engine level is high, and it's not a high-end cargo, it takes up too much space, and the combat power is average, next time you encounter an expedition that needs armored escort, I'll accompany you in, isn't it much more powerful than armor?" I don't use spirit oil, and I can even chat with you...... As long as you usually give your pocket money generously, and when it comes to the end of the universe, you can still have children, isn't it much more cost-effective to invest in women than in steel? ”
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking that the rate of return on investing in steel was 10,000 times higher than that of investing in women, and I would give birth to a fart child after the end of the universe!
"Okay, okay, if the armor can be sold for a price, I'll consider it."
Goliath was satisfied and took Ellie shopping.
At this point, Lu Chen's award activities are all over.
King Payne didn't even provide accommodation for Lu Chen, but only suggested that he go to the islands of the Southern Hemisphere to have fun.
Lu Chen has plans for recreational fishing.
But not now.
He had to go to the second-hand market to sell his equipment first.
Lu Chen drove the Leonin and landed in the Mechanical City southwest of the Royal City.
It's a bit like the cage harbor of Cyon, and its large modified equipment seems to have been imported from Cyon.
There is a dedicated second-hand market and even an auction market.
Lu Chen thought to himself, I just won a medal and appeared on TV, will the auction make more money?
The Leonin opened the auction market.
The rent of one hundred spirit stones was paid to the organizer.
People go to that station.
The loot swings to that point.
Level 40 Combat Armor.
Level 40 retractable Minotaur spear.
and the rest of the loot, large and small, looted on the Horn.
The organizer informed the audience that this is to expose the evil behavior of the Imperial Entertainment Weekly, which has just won the Idealist Medal of the Uncrowned Country, the big star of the Foggy Starfish:
Road dust.
The audience's emotions were ignited at once.
But soon, they were all shouting where Ellie and Goliath had gone......
Lu Chen didn't care.
The organizers continue to introduce that these trophies come from the 66th place on this year's list of potential rising stars.
It's a pity that everyone was excited and excited, and there was little interest in the loot, and in the end it was auctioned by major second-hand dealers.
Combat armor is a large road cargo, which sold for three thousand eight.
Since the spear was custom-made, it was sold for only one thousand two.
The rest of the loot added up to only a thousand sold.
Lu Chen sold a total of six thousand spirit stones, a small box full of them!
As far as the auction is concerned, there is no significant premium.
Kind of a normal price.
It can be seen that these buyers are still very calm, and they don't give him a celebrity filter at all, and they can pay as much as they want.
Leaving the auction house, Lu Chen's total assets are counted:
Earned three thousand three from the Saion Star Welfare Institute.
The income from the interview, a thousand, has been spent.
Auction loot, six thousand.
Plus the one thousand that was traded with the scorpion girl, which was deposited in the adventurer's bank account.
At this point, the total number of spirit stones at the disposal of Lu Chen's is one thousand and three hundred!
"Whew, it's finally 10,000 yuan."
In addition, road dust also has physical assets as follows:
Thirty-level modified ships.
Level 30 Treasure Picker Armor.
A ghost cat.
A demonic sword.
Nuclear-powered fishing rods.
A shadowless whale bead fused into the dantian.
Also, a Class 20 motorboat that Golia had stolen from the Rust Star Police Station had just been ridden out.
"It's only been a little over a month, and it's good!"
Lu Chen is very satisfied.
Subsequently, he found a ship modification factory.
It took three hundred spirit stones to rewire the main structure of the spirit pattern in the spaceship, and Lu Chen personally designed the new spirit pattern.
The purpose is to make his spiritual power more smoothly transmitted to every part of the ship.
In this way, at a critical moment, it can spread its spiritual power throughout the ship to achieve global stealth of the spaceship in a short time!
Everything was done, and it was already dawn the next day.
Lu Chen drove the ship back to the central square of the royal city, and called Ellie and Goliath to urge her.
Soon, Golia returned on a jet ski.
There were also large bags of clothes, cosmetics, and Ellie's textbooks that made up a small mountain, and even needed to be strapped, so that they could be fastened to the jet ski.
Ellie handed a large box of elixir to Lu Chen.
"Captain, this is the elixir you want to buy, the store saw that we were members of the primordial star dome, and gave us a twenty-percent discount."
"Still Ellie is reliable!"
Lu Chen took the pill, but asked Golia:
"You bought it overnight, and that's it?"
Goliath smiled mysteriously.
"Quite a bit, we bought a lot of beautiful swimsuits."
"Huh?"
Lu Chen thought he had heard something wrong.
"Why do you need swimsuits for intergalactic adventures?"
"Stupid, this is the Thousand Islands Sea, of course I bought it to play beach volleyball!"
Gloria roared as she drove the jet ski into the back compartment of the ship.
Lu Chen and Ellie also hurriedly followed the rear cabin.
"Who said you want to play beach volleyball?"
Goliath proudly asserts herself:
"You're definitely going to be in the Air Force when you're fishing, and you're not going to play with us in the end? The independent sand island in the Thousand Islands Sea is a must, and we have to fight to the death through beach volleyball! ”
