Chapter Twenty-Three: Suburban Mansions

In the luxury residential area in the eastern suburbs of Sihaixing Donghuazhou, a seven-seater commercial hovering car slowly stopped, and a team of people got out of the car.

Chen Ruixin, the only girl in the team, looked at the mansion in front of her and exclaimed: "This house should be worth a lot of money!" In her extra memory, even a room costs 500,000 alliance coins.

Du Ziteng shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Chen said that I am joking, my house is not as expensive as you think." ”

Chen Rui was a little puzzled, "Isn't it that expensive?" Renting a room near the Star Aviation Academy also costs thousands of alliance coins every month. ”

Hearing this, Du Ziteng explained: "The house now is not like a hundred years ago, when you dared to sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars if you built a house. Nowadays, the Union has strict rules on real estate, and all houses are built by the Union's Renovation Department, with 100-story skyscrapers built in the urban area with 400 households as standard, and 6-storey small buildings or such mansions in the suburbs. The price of the house ranges from 100,000 to 200,000 Union Coins, and as for the choice, it depends on personal taste. ”

Chen Ruixin said with a smile: "If this is the case, I will buy a set in the city, and another mansion in the suburbs, where I want to live!"

Looking at the smiling Chen Ruixin, Du Ziteng came to the door, successively verified the triple password of digital password, voice recognition, and retina recognition, opened the door and invited everyone in, before explaining: "It is impossible, according to the regulations, when people become adults, they will become a family." Within the Union, a family can only own one house and three studios, and cannot be in the same city. Once two people who have a home get married or have children, the alliance will forcibly repossess a house. Another point is that the mansions in this suburb can only be purchased by those who have contributed to the alliance. ”

Chen Ruixin suddenly muttered, "Doesn't this make people single?"

Du Ziteng had already led everyone to the hall, and he said with a smile: "Although the house is bought, it belongs to you, but as long as the house is in one day, you must pay the property fee, just like if I don't live in the house, I must pay about 1,000 yuan in property fee every year." People who start a family have a 60% discount on property fees, so is it really a discount if you don't get married? Two houses are 2,000, and marriage only costs 600. ”

Chen Ruixin seemed to be on a par with Du Ziteng, arguing: "Is it okay for me to rent out the house?"

Hearing this, Du Ziteng shook his head, "The alliance has a large number of low-rent studios, only one hundred per month, and all of them should be fully furnished. ”

One hundred per month, Chen Ruixin smiled, "There are one thousand per month near the Star Aviation Academy." You must be fooling me. ”

Du Ziteng sighed and explained, "I'm only talking about the housing regulations on the surface of the planets within the alliance. Don't forget, there are three floating cities suspended in the clouds of the four starfish alone. One of them was just above the imperial capital, where the real rich lived, and the houses on it were not only ten times more expensive, but also required a lot of contributions. The Star Aviation Academy you mentioned is there, so of course the public rental housing around is also very expensive. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ruixin was completely speechless, "I, I ......" said and walked towards Xingchen, and asked in a low voice: "Lu Xingchen, you help me, how can I lose to the natives?"

Xingchen, who was sitting on the sofa watching the play, replied in a low voice: "We only have the most basic identity memory, and we definitely don't know as much as Ensign Du." But I am curious about two things: first, the housing is built by the department of the Alliance, will it be guarded and stolen? Second, any society needs an industry that absorbs capital, and what does the Interstellar Alliance rely on to develop its economy?"

After Chen Ruixin heard this, she smiled, and just as she wanted to ask, Du Ziteng said: "The reconstruction department and other departments are all supervised by the most powerful artificial intelligence Nuwa, and there will definitely be no self-theft. As for the economy, before interstellar warfare, most of the money was invested in interstellar exploration. In the event of an interstellar war, part of it is transferred to scientific research, which is invested by civilians and managed by the Alliance. Once the scientific research results are put into the market, investors can enjoy profit dividends. ”

And when Chen Ruixin was explaining to Du Ziteng, she sat directly on a sofa and didn't say anything anymore.

Xuanyuan Meng on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, there was no way, now he was the lowest status person here. He struggled to hold back, but his hand pressed against the black dropper next to him, and the white wall opposite him began to play television.

Now it's a report on the Global Games, and reporters are in Austria interviewing athletes who will be competing.

At this time, a reporter in a gray tunic and sunglasses was in front of the city's municipal sports association, and he said to the black camera float: "Hello everyone, I am Kai, a frontline reporter at a global radio station. I'm in ##εΈ‚δ½“θ‚²εδΌšε‰ right now, and I've heard that there are a lot of championship seeds here, so let's wait and see what they're going to do. As he spoke, he headed for the gate of the association.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by four black-clad security guards, and no matter how the reporter explained, he was not allowed to enter.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a blue suit and a big belly came. The reporter immediately shouted, "Mr. Principal, Mr. Principal." ”

The headmaster walked over and asked, "Do you know me?"

The reporter hastened to explain, "Ten years ago, students studied under your management. ”

In response, the principal sighed, "I've been dismissed, please don't call me principal again." ”

The reporter was puzzled, "Mr. Principal, you have been conscientious, how could you be dismissed?"

The principal smiled bitterly: "It's all my fault, in order for my students to grow up well, I spent a lot of money to hire professional nutritionists to match scientific nutritious meals for students, and often let teachers study at public expense, and even spent a lot of money on sports equipment." As a result, the steel frame on the roof of the swimming pool was negligently repaired and destroyed in a thunderstorm, and the teachers and students who were attending classes fell into a coma. Although I tried my best to save all the students, their swimming coach didn't save them because the grade was too big, what a sin for me!" said him, hiding his face and leaving two lines of tears.

At this time, all over the world, the principals who watched this program couldn't help but curse angrily: "Nai Nai, isn't this what a principal must do? How can it come to this guy's mouth, as if he is the only principal in the world who can do these things." No, I'm going to call the league and complain. ”

The reporter looked at the painful principal and comforted: "Mr. Principal, don't be sad, in the hearts of students, you will always be the principal." ”

After trying to stop his sadness, the principal showed a relieved expression, "But my hard work is effective, and there are 32 people in our city's athlete delegation from our school this time. They are all all-rounders, and the championship will belong to them. ”

As soon as the reporter heard this, "the students knew that the efforts of Mr. Principal would definitely have good results." I just wonder if the students can make a report for them?"

The headmaster had fully recovered and nodded, "Of course you can, I have sacrificed so much for them, of course I can call the shots for them." As he spoke, he walked into the association with reporters and photographic floats.

As soon as I entered it, I saw a group of basketball players fighting fiercely, and the two sides were extremely desperate, eager to smash the opponent's basket.

The reporter couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, it is a team of lions, with this fighting spirit, they must be the champion of the basketball project of this global games." ”

The headmaster laughed and said, "It's not them, come with me." ”

The two soon came to the outdoor football field, and the reporter saw the football players who ran to cramps on the football field and continued to work hard, and couldn't help but praise: "I have never seen such a desperate football player, so desperate during training, and who can stop them in the official game." Alas! This reminds me of the history class when I was a child, those uncompetitive guys, who have no skills and actually get tens of millions of salaries, and if they don't work hard, no one is allowed to say it. ”

The headmaster shook his head again, "It's not them, keep coming with me!"

After a little more walking, they came to the largest indoor stadium in the sports association. There are several sports venues here. On each field, there is an athlete who is carefully teaching another person.

Seeing them, the reporter finally confirmed and said, "Presumably, the athletes who are teaching others are the seed players of our school, right?"

The headmaster sighed, "Wrong again, they're not." Those who are listening are the ones who are taught. ”

The reporter was obviously stunned and didn't believe it at all, "How can those who don't understand sports skills be seeded players, Mr. Principal, we are broadcasting live, you must not lie." As he spoke, he was stunned to see a small nebula carrying a large table of food, and the camera float next to him relayed the scene.

In a mansion located in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital of Donghuazhou, Xingchen saw Xingyun and the other four people in the image, and immediately stood up, "It's Xingyun them." ”

Du Ziteng on the side asked, "Captain Xingyun, do you know him?"

Xingchen nodded, "Yes, he is my younger brother Lu Xingyun, I haven't seen him since I got on the troop carrier, I didn't expect him to be in Orly." Second Lieutenant Du, can you help me find out when they will come, and I'll pick them up. ”

Du Ziteng smiled: "This is no problem, after all, your life was saved by you." As he spoke, he began to use his high-tech glasses contacts to help him check.

And Xingchen said to himself: "I haven't used the code 'Langya' yet, but I didn't expect to know the situation of Xingyun and Han Feng." ”

After a while, Du Ziteng stopped, "Captain Lu, I have already checked, they are coming by tomorrow's flight, and they are expected to arrive at seven o'clock in the evening." One more thing, I have a friend who works at that sports association, why don't you get in touch now? ”

Xingchen said excitedly: "Of course, you send the communication number, and I will contact them myself." ”

On the other side, Han Feng, who was learning the starting posture in the sports association, suddenly heard a broadcast, "Han Feng, Lu Xingyun, Rhine, Di Rong, please come to the radio station quickly." Mr. Langya is looking for you. ”

Hearing the word "Langya", which was the code they had agreed upon, Han Feng got up directly and went to the radio station, ignoring the sprinter boy who was carefully teaching around him.

When he came to the radio station, he saw that the three Nebulas were also here.

A young man in a black suit looked at a few people, bowed and asked, "May I ask if you are the four classmates Han Feng, Lu Xingyun, Lai Yin'er, and Di Rong?"

Han Feng directly took out a dark green notebook, "This is my student ID, you can take a look." ”

After checking his documents, the young man in the suit took out a note, "This is Mr. Langya's contact number." ”

Han Feng accepted the note, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's so cautious and troublesome, I don't even dare to reveal my real name, it must be Xingchen." As he spoke, he typed the thirteen-digit number on the slip of paper into his ultra-thin tablet, and dialed it, and quickly connected. Han Feng asked first, "Xingchen, where are you?"

"Brother Feng, how do you know it must be me?"

"Except for you, no one else will call themselves Mr. Langya. Tell me where are you?"

"I'm at a friend's house, at No. 111 Shanghai Road, in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital. ”

"Damn, why did you arrive at the imperial capital so quickly, it's not fair, I won't be there until seven o'clock tomorrow night. ”

"It's a little faster, but I almost got stuck on Ward Planet III. ”

"Ward, wood, why are you there?"

"Listen to me slowly......" and then Xingchen told a series of his experiences. After Han Feng heard this, he shouted directly, ", it's Star Wars, you actually participated in Star Wars, how about it?"

"There's no such thing as enjoyment, and someone dies every time you fight. Brother Feng, I suddenly found that I have nothing to say to you, call Xingyun, I want to talk to him. ”

Han Feng was suddenly a little annoyed, he just wanted to talk about Xingchen, but the ultra-thin tablet in his hand had been taken away by Xingyun, so he could only secretly scold the two brothers Xingchen Xingyun and stand aside angrily.

Xingyun looked at the image on the tablet and cried, "Brother Chen, I finally saw you again, in this world, I can't feel your existence at all, I'm so scared." Zizizizi. The sound of a yogurt straw sounded.

When Xingchen heard this voice, he didn't care, "It's okay, don't you see me now?" You follow my sister well, and we will meet at seven o'clock tomorrow night." ”

The tablet was casually handed to Rhine by Nebula, and Nebula himself took out a sausage from the black backpack behind him and skillfully disassembled it.

From Rhine'er, Xingchen only knew the experience of Han Feng and the others, and just by defeating a few indigenous athletes, he could successfully complete the first goal. So after the call, Xingchen couldn't help but sigh: "It's really more popular than people, why don't we have such good luck?"

Chen Rui on the side was puzzled, "What's the matter, Lu Xingchen, is your friend lucky?"

Xingchen explained at this time, and when he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Meng was the first to jump out, "What? Just by defeating the indigenous athletes, you can complete the first goal, this is too easy!"

Du Ziteng on the side was curious: "Is it very easy to defeat athletes? For example, the current 100-meter speed world record, 9.03 seconds, athletes who can participate in the Global Games can run 100 meters in 11 seconds, where can they easily beat." ”

Xuanyuan Meng said with a smile: "Even if it ......" said and stopped, thought about it, and said: "Lao Tzu can run 100 meters in five seconds, and he can't look at the so-called world record at all." ”

Du Ziteng couldn't believe it. Xuanyuan Meng glanced at Xingchen and saw that the other party had no objection, so he got up and appeared next to the gate ten meters away with a slight movement. Du Ziteng's eyes widened, and he remembered Xingchen's skills again, and exclaimed: "Could it be that the people in Xinghang Academy are so powerful." ”

At this time, Xingchen stood up and explained, "No, only people from the ancient martial arts family have such skills. Although we are far better than you ordinary people, the family motto stipulates that you should not show your skills in public, and if you are forced to show them, you will not leave any record in the records. If you don't believe it, Ensign Du, you can try to tell your friends about our speed. ”

Hearing this, Du Ziteng really didn't want to believe it, he asked, "Can I really try?" Seeing Xingchen nodding, he used high-tech glasses to edit the matter into an email and send it, only to find that the sending failed and kept prompting that the email was empty, and he checked the email and found that the email was really blank. He just couldn't understand, "What's going on?"

Xingchen sat down, "Second Lieutenant Du, remember, you must not tell us about it, otherwise your life will be endangered." ”

Du Ziteng said solemnly: "Okay, I will never say it." ”

At this time, Xingchen suddenly asked, "Second Lieutenant Du, what's the matter with your eyes? Du Ziteng sighed, "Since you told me about you, it's time for me to talk about myself." It was eighteen years old, and I had very good eyesight, so I joined the military and became a crew member on a space carrier. ”

Back in time and space, a 10,000-meter-long silver-white space carrier received a top-secret mission after a battle and broke into the Squid Monster's occupation area to sneak attack the Squid Monster's spawning planet in an attempt to capture the Squid Monster's mother.

The space carrier, which has a curvature engine, reached the sky above the squid monster spawning planet very smoothly.

A large number of twenty-meter-long landing ships flew out of the mothership and headed for the planet's surface. As a naval soldier, Du Ziteng was also on one of the landing spacecraft. After landing, they were attacked by numerous squid monsters, but as a large number of ships were dropped, they quickly took up a position.

In the night, three days after the gradual advance, disaster struck, and a black cannonball the size of a basketball was fired into the position.

The cannonballs do not kill people, but they emit an unknown white light. In this light, many soldiers clasped their eyes and shouted, "My eyes." ”

Du Ziteng was not spared, he looked around a little blankly, there was gray mist everywhere, blurred.

After a while, the injuries were counted, a small number of people were nearsighted, and most people lost their sight and became blind. After learning about it, a truth appeared in front of everyone, all the people who lost their sight had undergone vision correction surgery in order to enlist in the army, and the myopic people originally had good vision.

People who are nearsighted are issued high-tech glasses. During the conversation, Du Ziteng knocked on his glasses and smiled, "These are the glasses issued at that time, and I have been keeping them carefully over the years." ”

Chen Ruixin on the side asked, "Then what happened to you?"

Du Ziteng fell into memory again. Taking advantage of the damage to the Alliance's combat power, a large number of squid monsters came overwhelmingly, they lost their positions, and fled all the way. Whenever you are caught up, someone has to leave behind. Because Du Ziteng is the youngest, even if he asks for it, no one will let him break off.

They fled to another position, still locked in a bloody battle.

As he spoke, Du Ziteng lifted his coat again and pointed to the centipede scar on his abdominal muscles, "We fought that battle for a long time, and just when we thought we were going to die, the squid monster retreated, and I also picked up a life because of it." But my captain and partner are dead. ”

He held a pocket watch in his hand and stopped talking.
