The doorway of a bar on the central planet of the universe.

Li Kunpeng looked at the cosmic slave who worked for eight hours and got off work on time, threw the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground, and crushed it twice: "The special cosmic slave only works eight hours a day, and he is not allowed to work overtime, that little broken star is no longer saved!" ”

After watching the slaves who were about to go to protest against the overwork of the eight-hour workday leave, Li Kunpeng turned and entered the bar.

"Mr. Karl, it's a pleasure to see you again, I heard you've been worrying about manpower lately, haven't you?"

Li Kunpeng sat next to an octopus with a glass tank in an interstellar spacesuit older than his grandfather, this guy he knew well, he was notoriously wronged, and the main thing was to be rich.

"Praise the god of the deep sea, let me catch you, you still dare to appear in front of me, believe it or not, I will turn you into a cerebral palsy now? Make you a slave! ”

Obviously, this octopus named Carl has a lot of resentment towards Li Kunpeng.

"Mr. Karl, the last time was a misunderstanding, there was something wrong with my spaceship, so I left temporarily, let you pay the bill, rest assured that this time I came with sincerity!"

When Carl heard this, he quickly gathered the drinks on his table in front of him with a few paws.

"Say, what bad idea do you have, don't try to use bionic robots to trick me, I've already dropped ten liars to the edge planet to mine for me!"

Hear this.

Li Kunpeng immediately smiled and said: "Of course not, I am very sincere this time, I heard that Mr. Carl bought a mineral planet, and now there is a shortage of labor for mining, it just so happens that I know that there is a planet with sufficient labor, how about we make a deal?" ”

"You? Can there be such news? ”

"Of course! Don't forget, no one in the universe knows where my home planet is, and there are at least tens of billions of people like me on my home planet, and they are an excellent workforce. Interstellar mines, build houses, be cannon fodder, and even train to become a Space Marine, as long as you want! ”

"And they can work twelve hours a day or more!"

"Praise the gods of the deep sea, it's crazy, twelve hours a day, are they robots? Robots work eight hours a day to perform maintenance, replace parts, and check energy! ”

"Don't worry, they are all intelligent beings, cosmic people like me."

Carl looked at Li Kunpeng, his brain was racing, he really didn't know which planet this bastard named Li Kunpeng came from.

Someone once was curious and tried to get him drunk to inquire about the whereabouts of Li Kunpeng's home planet.

But it all failed.

The bastard drank and fell asleep like a dead pig.

"Carbon-based creatures like you? A carbon-based creature that looks like a cosmic man? ”

Li Kunpeng pointed to himself and said, "Of course it's exactly the same, but there are also different skin tones, some white and some black." ”

"If it's really what you say, I'm very interested, but you have no trust with me, and you are no different from a liar."

"Mr. Karl, we can go to the notary office to trade, it only costs 200 million, I will tell the coordinates of a planet with nearly tens of billions of labor, and trade there, I don't think you will suspect that I am a liar, right?"

Hear this.

Karl's eyes lit up immediately.

The so-called notary office refers to a fair trading floor in the central galaxy.

There must be no deception, concealment of information or articles or information traded there.

Once someone dares to deceive or conceal it, they will be hunted down by the whole universe and permanently banned from docking in the interstellar ports of any of the universe member countries.

Since its establishment, only a few people have taken risks, and all of them have been found dead in space.

Moreover, once the buyer finds out that he has been deceived, the fair trading platform will also advance the buyer's loss, and the fair trading platform will find a way to recover the loss.

Therefore, trading in the universe, as long as you propose to trade on the fair trading floor, everyone does not worry about being cheated.

"I choose to believe you once, but 200 million is too expensive, 10 million!"

Carl shook his glass jar and began to bargain.

"Mr. Karl, that's my home planet, the place where I was born and raised, and you want me to betray my home planet for 10 million? Impossible, absolutely impossible! I'm going to find someone else right now! ”

"Thirty million!"

"And my dear friends, my siblings, and my friends there!"

"Fifty million!"

“……”

"One hundred million! This is my reserve price! There is also my white moonlight there, and the thought of her going to mine makes her white and tender little hands blister, and my heart hurts! ”

"Eighty million! Bastard, you're laughing! ”

"Deal!"

Soon, Li Kunpeng and Carl arrived at the fair trading hall on the central planet.

The two sides soon signed an agreement.

Carl happily transferred 80 million cosmic coins to Li Kunpeng.

Recently, Carl's claws have begun to shrink due to manpower problems.

Since the robot turmoil swept the entire universe a thousand years ago, the intelligent life civilization has suffered a devastating blow, and it has taken hundreds of years to recover.

A joint statement was issued by all member states of the universe.

With the exception of intelligent piloting computers other than starships, the large-scale use of creative intelligent life is prohibited in the entire universe.

The creative intelligent life here refers to various intelligent objects created by intelligent life, including but not limited to robots.

Therefore, intelligent robots such as traditional mining and service industries have all been destroyed.

Only a few bionic robotic arms or fool-proof robots that need to be operated by humans are left to use.

For a time, the price of labor in the entire universe skyrocketed.

Even with desperate expansion to find new planets with life and capture slaves, there is still a labor shortage in the entire universe.

And Carl spent tens of billions of cosmic coins to buy the mining rights of a large resource planet.

Large-scale mining is now not possible because there is no labor.

If the employment of labor is carried out by legal means.

In a cosmic year, a salary of at least 200,000 cosmic coins needs to be paid.

But if you find a planet that has never been discovered before, has not joined the Cosmic Alliance, and has intelligent life.

Then the ownership of the planet theoretically belongs to the discoverer.

Then Carl's labor shortage can be reasonably solved.

"Okay, the money has been transferred, tell me the coordinates of your home planet, you promise to be a planet with no less than eight billion carbon-based life-based intelligent beings!"

After Li Kunpeng saw that the balance in his interstellar card had increased by 80 million.

Immediately smiled and said: "Of course, this is a fair trading hall, my home planet is called the earth, of course, this is what we call ourselves, the coordinates are located in the remote galaxy of the universe, the remote area of the Milky Way left arm suspension area, I don't have the exact coordinates, after all, my home star has not joined the cosmic alliance, but he flies around a star, there are a total of nine planets flying around the star called the sun, and there is a satellite for my home star, so you should be able to find it, right?" ”

"By the way, my home planet looks blue from afar, you can also call him Blue Star."

Hear Li Kunpeng's words.

Karl thought for a moment.

As long as there is no problem with the address.

It doesn't take long to search a galaxy for a left arm dangling.

But when he opened the interstellar map.

A mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

The Milky Way is located on the edge of the known exploration universe.

We are almost at the end of exploration of the known universe.

Flying from the central galaxy requires ten space-time jumps, the most recent of which is near the Alpha Cluster of Galaxies, which is a subsidiary of the Milky Way, and is still fifteen million light-years away from the left arm.

If you fly at full speed with a curvature engine, it will take three months to arrive.

But think of at least eight billion free laborers.

Karl didn't say much.

Straight out of the trading floor.

Wait until after Carl leaves.

Li Kunpeng quickly took out an interstellar mobile phone and dialed a call.

"Mr. Lohr, I heard that your company has been short of labor recently, and I know the coordinates of a planet close to 10 billion intelligent life, are you interested?"

"Don't worry, it's my home planet, and I haven't joined the Cosmic Alliance!"

"Of course, I can choose to trade with you on the fair trading floor!"

"No problem, we'll see you on the fair trading floor in half an hour!"

After hanging up the phone.

Li Kunpeng walked out of the fair trading hall with a smile on his face.

"Captain, if you do this, aren't you afraid that your compatriots on your home planet will curse you?"

"No, they'll call me a hero!"

Li Kunpeng stood in place, looked up at the sky of the central galaxy, and said slowly.

"They're crazy?"

"No, I will appear like a god and save them!"

"And then?"

Li Kunpeng looked at his balance and said, "Sell it for another good price." ”
