The full name of the Astral Gate is "a linear and circular time channel, a parallel and intersecting space center, and a closed and open cosmic portal jointly maintained by all astral adventurers".

If the astral adventurers who travel through the countless time and space of the multiverse and carry out adventure activities really have any so-called "common right to maintain the astral gate", probably everyone will vote for the first time to dismantle the strange buildings in this special space that mix and match visual and deep spiritual pollution. As for the members of the Astral Chamber of Commerce who live here, looking at their shops that can almost be described as "indescribable", you can see that the aesthetic of these guys has almost completely collapsed.

For example, a roadside shop that sells flavorful snacks such as grilled skewers, fried rice cakes, and spicy tang has chosen a Gothic chapel with a boiling lava fountain under it and a wall full of horned and winged demon bones as the counter and kitchen. It's hard to understand what the owner thinks, who has the appetite to order a meal when the guests see the fire-scorched skeletons struggling up and down in agony in the magma beneath the fire?

At least Wei Ye and Sima Ling didn't have such a good appetite, so they just asked for a few skewers of snacks and held them in their hands and chewed as they walked, instead of sitting at the restaurant bar of that store while enjoying the magma dance of the demon bones, while happily nibbling on the barbecue crispy bones and connecting the flesh and bones.

Of course, according to the external propaganda of the highest administrative organ, LHG, the citizens of LHG who joined the Gate of the Astral Plane and became Astral Adventurers, or the teenagers who had just completed the compulsory education course and obtained citizenship, all of them resolutely became such noble and excellent young people who traveled through different time and space, and it was basically difficult to enjoy the material pleasures brought by modern civilization for seemingly metaphysical reasons such as "comprehending the true meaning of life" and "truly living". The aesthetic collapse tendencies of the guys who live in the gate of the astral plane to varying degrees are also said by the LHG propaganda department to say that these people "feel the relativity of beauty and ugliness", "jump out of the cognitive mode of beauty and ugliness, and get great freedom", thus becoming excellent advanced individuals in spiritual civilization.

"For such a bullshit reason, only those who have been fooled will feel that 'although I can't understand it, it is really powerful', and I am stupid to sign an adventurer employment agreement with LHG's Astral Gate operator, right?"

Biting on a string of greasy spicy skewers and carrying all his belongings in his baggage, Wei Ye commented indifferently: "Even if it is to 'experience the true meaning of life', or to feel some bullshit 'truly live', there are simply too many options to count, and if you want to hone your mind or something, you don't have to be an astral adventurer." ”

"So, why did Uncle run out of school and become an adventurer?"

Sima Ling pinched a skewer of fried rice cakes sprinkled with osmanthus sugar and tilted her head to look at her uncle.

Not surprisingly, she heard Wei Ye tear off a large piece of barbecue meat almost with the sad and indignant expression of the enemy who did not share the sky, and bit it hard several times as if chewing the skin and flesh of the enemy, and then swallowed it with a "grunt", before she began to murmur in a bitter tone:

"Because all the space-time observation devices are civilian, the space-time monitor has become popular to the point that elementary school students can abuse it when writing summer vacation homework. ”

"The misuse of space-time observation devices is a devastating blow to traditional history and archaeology, which rely on written records and archaeological excavations, as well as folklore and anthropology, which rely on fieldwork and historical and archaeological support. ”

"As someone who is about to go to the last few areas where traditional folklore is still preserved, can you understand my grief and indignation when I hear that all colleges and universities have canceled the fieldwork of folklore and anthropology, and that future graduate students will be given a 'Doroma' V5 portable space-time observation instrument and rely on the camera peeping of the space-time observatory to complete the research?"

Staring at the spicy skewers in his hand, the bearded current scribe of Shizhong Temple bit down on a large piece of meat without any elegant temperament, chewing hard, as if he was not chewing barbecue, but a space-time observatory of various brands and models from the Lady of Eyes type, the Bare-eyed Female type to the Doramu type.

"It's really miserable, uncle," Sima Ling thought for a moment and decided not to laugh at his uncle, "It's like the sorrow of the small handicraft owners who were replaced by steam engine factories in history." ”

However, the green-shirted scribe biting the skewer only glanced sympathetically at his family's double-haired girl: "Because of technological advancement, judges and lawyers have also lost the privilege of relying on word games to monopolize the right to interpret the law. ”

"Hitting people doesn't slap their faces, exposing people doesn't expose their shortcomings!"

"Your uncle, I'm just telling the truth. ”

Without the consciousness of being embarrassed to expose each other's old bottoms on the street, the two uncles and nieces who are noisy everywhere they go look at each other with great momentum, which is simply the best portrayal of the four words "no one else". However, just from the point of view of doing my own thing, I really deserve to be a family.

According to the boring drama that Wei Ye and Sima Ling have been staging every day, this kind of momentum competition is generally discovered by a few "elders' consciousness" of a certain nominal elder and automatically separates the winner and loser. It's just that their luck doesn't seem to be good today, and a warm voice that sounds unusually familiar interjects at the right time:

"Isn't this Mr. Wei and Sister Sima who helped us on the North Mountain?

A delicately crafted beast-faced gluttonous copper-plated fine iron armor was inserted between Wei Ye and Sima Ling with this familiar voice, looking at Zhao Yalong's extremely kind smile, the uncle and nephew could only smile at this former wronged man who had been knocked out by them:

"Mansion Lord Zhao, it's a coincidence that I can meet you at the gate of the astral boundary......"

A leader like Zhao Yalong, the leader of the Astral Adventurers' Mutual Aid Organization, of course, could not appear alone at the Astral Gate. Not surprisingly, Wei Ye saw the two martial arts combinations like two generals around Zhao Yalong, Shi Tianpeng, who was good at Shaolin stick techniques, and Liu Yefei, who played with double knives and rolled the ground, and not far away, Bi Yongzheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair with bandages all over his body, looked curiously this way, and Hua Qisheng, who was pushing a wheelchair, stared at Wei Ye's face angrily, not like he wanted to see a flower, but like looking at the deficit on the books.

The mustachioed scribe who couldn't stand such treatment unconsciously took half a step back, and arched his hand towards Zhao Yalong and said: "Lord Zhao, your ministry killed the wolf demons infested in Beibi Mountain, removed a harm for Luoyang City, and successfully completed the task of the forbidden middle, do you want to gain a lot from this battle?"

"TOEFL, TOEFL!" Zhao Yalong returned the salute with a smile, "If it weren't for the timely delivery of a batch of weapons by Uncle Xian and his niece, that battle would have ended hastily." When we came back to set up the celebration wine, we were still saying that if the two of you also came to work together in my Big Gun Mansion, and the two of them would be rewarded for their meritorious deeds that night, they would definitely have to make a first contribution!"

Looking at this very friendly face, Wei Ye silently pulled the wrapper that was a little loose on his shoulders, and the slip signed by Zhao Yalong was still lying in the baggage. I just don't know if if I had joined the Big Gun Mansion, would the weapons have been donated or sold? Is this so-called first merit just like the year-end bonuses of private enterprises many years ago, and it is a thing that is not expensive?

Subconsciously reached out and touched the burden on his shoulder, which was originally just an inadvertent action of Wei Ye, but when his fingers touched it, he felt that there was an object in the burden skin that was trembling slightly. Although the fingers were separated by the furoshiki, the restless object was too easy to distinguish, it was the bronze short knife hidden by the wolf girl who had just been refined into ashes in the Beibi Mountain.

This knife is nourished by the wolf girl with her own demonic energy, although it is not a real spiritual blade, but it cannot be regarded as an ordinary mortal iron, which can make this knife restless, it can only be that something similar to the physical properties of this demon knife resonates with it. Quickly raising his eyes and glancing at the group of people in the Big Gun Mansion on the street, Wei Ye saw Liu Yefei suspiciously reaching out and pressing the handle of the single knife on his waist, as if he wanted to pull it out to see what was going on.

Although only the handle of the knife was outside, and he couldn't see the true face of Liu Yefei's single knife at all, Wei Ye could still conclude that the single knife on Liu Yefei's waist was also nourished by the wolf demon's qi. It's just that when the wolf girl turned into a spirit and fled, she threw this single knife in her body, and it became the trophy of the Big Gun Mansion.

Wei Ye shook his shoulders without a trace, and let the bamboo slip version of the secret summary of the "Taiping Qing Lingshu" that he had hand-copied in the baggage unfold, which happened to cover the bronze short knife. Disturbed by the scriptures and sentences of the "Taiping Qing Collar Book", the demon knife in the burden immediately stopped. As soon as Wei Ye arched his hand, he said, "We still have something to do, so we won't bother a few", and he wanted to take Sima Ling to slip away.

However, he really underestimated Zhao Yalong's ability to pull relationships with his mouthful of words, the lord of the Big Gun Mansion who enjoyed playing the role of the underworld tycoon in the Eastern Han Dynasty, looked carefully at the appearance of Wei Ye and Sima Ling, and suddenly said in a tone that was half congratulatory and half envious: "Could it be that Master Wei returned to the Gate of the Star Boundary this time to go through the official inauguration procedures of the Star Adventurer? Recently, however, LHG is implementing the outsourcing of registration services in order to streamline its organization and save costs. Rather than going to the official operation hall and arguing with an unknown rookie clerk, I think it is better to go to a store that has outsourced the registration service of the members of the Astral Chamber of Commerce, which not only has good service quality, but also allows you to inquire about a lot of additional information. ”

"Oh, which one has the best service quality? In my opinion, on the Iron Throne Street in front of you, which was transformed from a space destroyer, the door number 13, and the one with the Fengyue Hall signboard is good. ”
