Chapter 57: The Gamble

The Coalition Domain, located in the remote Seferas system, Black Saturn.

On this remote and backward planet, there is a declining kingdom called "Candace", a weak and incompetent royal government, which is ruling over the poor people on the planet.

Outside the royal city of Ragnar, a young man dressed in an ordinary brown walker costume, more than one meter tall, slender figure, with long blue shoulder-length hair, feminine and handsome facial features, and a melancholy atmosphere, was walking on a suburban road.

From time to time he was greeted by people along the way, and sometimes he responded, sometimes just nodded silently.

Suddenly, the watch-like device on his wrist flashed red, causing his determined and slow steps to stop in midair.

"Huh? This is...... Iris channel communication? ”

After a moment's hesitation, the melancholy young man found a nearby stone pier, sat on it and closed his eyes.

Soon, a virtual projection appeared on the display interface of his personal smart terminal.

Due to the huge disparity between the rich and the poor and the loose organizational system, the citizens of the alliance do not have the good "welfare" of the citizens of the empire, and they can have a brain chip in their hands.

Of course, rich people can do it, but the vast majority of poor countries and citizens can only use some personal smart terminals of uneven quality.

"You're Peach?"

"You're Binks?"

In the smart terminal, the projection shrouded in a black robe did not answer the melancholy young man's inquiry, but only asked him rhetorically.

"That's right," Binks nodded, knowing that the other party's identity was not ordinary, and didn't care about the other party's rudeness: "Since you were introduced by Iris, you must also be a master hacker." ”

"Hey...... Not a master, but at least a little stronger than the iris you mentioned. ”

Peach's white answer, that is, Yang Wuji's answer, made Binks nod again.

Although Binks admits that he has seen a lot, he is not very familiar with the circle of hackers, and Iris is already the most powerful hacker he has ever seen.

Stronger than irises, already meets his requirements.

"Also, if you can't, Iris won't introduce you. Did she tell you about my needs? ”

Binks continued to ask, but what he got was Yang Wuji's somewhat impatient answer:

"I didn't say it, I don't care about your needs, now I only care, can you meet my needs......"

"What needs?"

"Help me purchase G-13 Dilleron compound stock solution, about 100 ml."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Binks casually looked up the compound, which he had never heard of, and found that it was one of the raw materials needed to make some high-level weapons, and the purchase authority was quite high.

But thinking about his existing resources, Binks gave Yang Wuji an affirmative answer:

"No problem, but you'll have to provide your own credits. Because I have a temporary authorization, I have the purchase authority of the members of the House of Elders, and what you want is just within the scope of the purchase authority. ”

"Good." Yang Wuji's face was shrouded in a black robe, and he couldn't see his expression, but his mood was undoubtedly excitedβ€”after spending so much time searching, he finally found a chance to break through the refining void period!

After he calmed down a bit, he began to negotiate with the declining Sir Binks, who seemed to be only in his early twenties:

"Now, we can talk about your needs......"

Binks smiled, and the melancholy expression on his handsome face decreased, and he looked a little heroic.

……

Two hours later.

Yang Wuji stepped out of the small rented spaceship and stepped on a pile of mud.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are your roads here so bad? ”

He looked at Binks, who was standing not far away to greet him, and couldn't help but complain.

"That's already done, if you're coming here on a rainy day, there's probably no place to park a spaceship nearby."

Binks walked up with a smile on his face.

"How? Would you like a snack first? Black Saturn's specialty, Wangcheng's best quality snack award, Mirin fruit and dried fruit, you are guaranteed to eat a bite and you can't stop......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When you say that, I really want to eat it. ”

Yang Wuji casually took the yellow preserved fruit handed over by Binks, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and it was really tough, sweet and delicious, a little more delicious than dried mangoes.

"20 credits a piece, thank you for your patronage."

"Ahem, ahem...... Want money? ”

Hearing Binks's words, Yang Wuji almost spit out the dried pieces of dried fruit in one bite.

"Haha, just kidding, but if you eat it again, it really costs money, how about it? Would you like to have some? The shelf life is super long, and the quantity is enough, you can take it back to the empire and sell it to others, and if you don't have a hundred kilograms, you will be exempt from customs duties. ”

Binks mysteriously approached Yang Wuji, tirelessly selling snacks like a drug dealer.

"This man looks like a melancholy nobleman, is he actually a small vendor?"

Yang Wuji glanced at him and waved his hand to thank him for his kindness:

"If you really want to make money, why don't you consider the offer I just mentioned in the newsletter, help me buy materials, and I'll give you double the credit. You know, that's the equivalent of picking up two or three million credits for nothing. ”

"Alas......" Binks put away the sample fruit for sales and put it in the small backpack behind his back, and sighed:

"Attractive proposition, but as I said earlier, I'm just an agent, and most importantly, I have what I want to achieve."

"Is that the bet you just talked about?"

Yang Wuji shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Binks to talk as he walked.

Through the communication just now, Yang Wuji learned that Binks really needed money, but the purpose was not for himself, but for the ruler of Black Saturn to continue to rule.

As the ruler of a poor planet, the Candace royal family here is clearly not doing a good job.

Not only has it not developed its own industry on the planet, but even the government's daily expenses are a little unsustainable.

The people are poor, the army is scattered, and it only takes a few daring interstellar pirates to come over and make the planet change hands.

However, the biggest problem is not these, after all, interstellar pirates also have to eat mixed food, and people will not come to this kind of place where birds don't to burn and loot - do you want to eat the Mistral Wind?

The biggest problem facing the Candace royal family now is that someone is eyeing their House of Elders authority.

Black Saturn is very poor, yes, but the Candace royal family, which rules here, happens to be one of the oldest members of the alliance.

Therefore, the king here has the right to vote in the decision-making process of the House of Elders!

Originally, the kings of Candace were very self-aware, and they have always cooperated with the big chambers of commerce, accepted the sponsorship of the big chambers, and voted according to the wishes of the big chambers, which is the so-called selling votes.

And "selling votes" has always been the "pillar industry" of the Candace royal family, and the sponsorship in exchange for voting not only supports the military and government expenditures, but also maintains the daily life of the royal family.

But this matter has changed recently, two years ago, the big chamber of commerce, which has always supported the Candace royal family behind it, for some reason, transferred the assets in this star field.

Later, another new chamber of commerce took over the field and became the voice of hundreds of nearby galaxies.

Of course, the Candace royal family is not a loyal force, and for the sake of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, they went to this new chamber of commerce to surrender as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the person sent by the new chamber of commerce to manage this side is the son of an executive of the chamber of commerce, and he acts very domineering, he not only wants the voting rights of the Candace royal family, but also the blood of the Candace royal family.

The administrator said that if the Candace royal family wanted to be sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, the king would have to marry his only daughter to the administrator as his one hundred and forty-sixth wife, and give birth to at least one child within a year.

Once this condition is accepted, it is tantamount to the entire Candace royal family will be cut off in this generation.

This is a bit difficult for the Candace royal family to accept, and the princess of Candace is even more adamantly opposed to it.

Binks' father was once a classmate and friend of this generation of King Candace when he was young, but after he was knighted, he did not choose to live with the king in Black Saturn, but chose to go out into outer space and become a well-known mercenary.

Binks also followed his father since he was a child and saw the outside world.

Unfortunately, his father was seriously injured in an accident, and he begged Binks to send him back to his hometown so that he could return to his roots, and passed the knighthood to Binks before his death, hoping that he could help the royal family in times of crisis.

So this time, in the face of the difficulties of the big chamber of commerce, Binks, as the agent of the royal family, negotiated with the administrator, and the final result was that the two sides made a bet.

The manager of the Chamber of Commerce and Binks choose a game developed by the alliance together, there is no limit to the deep web or the signal network, and each side sends one person to enter this designated game to compete with each other, if the Chamber of Commerce wins, the Candace royal family will obey the requirements of the Chamber of Commerce, marry a daughter and have children.

If the Candace royal family wins, the chamber administrators will sign a 100-year contract with the royal family to continue to sponsor the Candace royal family in exchange for their voting rights, according to the standards of the previous chamber of commerce.

"This gamble sounds unfair, why not just move out? The right to vote is exclusive to the royal family, not to this planet. After entering the royal city, Yang Wuji couldn't help but ask Binks.

They were walking on the way to the palace at this time.

"Because of the oath," Binks explained to him, "the Candace royal family had made an oath with voting authority in their House of Elders in order to gain the support of the people of Black Saturn, and if they turned their backs on the people of Black Saturn, they would voluntarily give up their position in the House of Elders." ”

Yang Wuji was a little speechless - it's all in the future, and he is still doing this.

"Then I'm ugly to say that in the front, I'm not good at playing games, I'm not good at it. Although I know a very good professional player, she can't play well in the league. ”

Yang Wuji once again reiterated his weakness - he brought his sister with him if he knew it earlier.

"Don't worry, the game won't let you come forward." Binks had a confident expression on his face:

"When I ran with my dad all over the universe, I don't know how many games I played, and I don't dare to say that I dominate every game, but it's still no problem to be in the top 100 of these games! So if the people of the Merlin Chamber of Commerce want to compete head-on, we don't have to worry about it at all, even if we lose, it is not as good as others, and we are willing to gamble and lose, but we are afraid of it...... They're playing with the ...... behind their backs."
