Blessings to the beautiful stars

There is no free lunch in the world, and there should be no saints who help without asking for anything in return, but the standard of "reward" should be quite a subjective thing.

Although there is a high probability that helping someone who meets by chance can only be exchanged for verbal thanks from the other party, the joy generated in one's heart should also be included in the "reward" received.

There are also those various Bodhisattvas on the Internet forums who post some great photos for free. Doesn’t the picture also show the vanity brought to them by the praiseworthy words of the forum friends in the snowflakes of replies?
How much would it cost to get others to go through fire and water for themselves?For the individual, the price to pay can be great or small.

For example, the leaders of the company can get some employees to work hard with verbal and illusory promotions and salary increases.

The price paid by the leader is very little, but the rest is paid invisibly by the employee's vision of relieving the pressure of life, as well as the face and credit of the leader and the company, and even the image of the entire industry. up.

As for other situations, the price that needs to be paid is really generous.

Money can be exchanged for the mercenary's selflessness. Rong Liangyuan had such an experience in his early years. Facing the unexpected enemy, he was already thinking of retreating, but with the employer's generous money again and again, he still mustered up the courage. , launched a charge to the imposing enemy.

Then it developed to the point where the employer had to add money every time he charged the employer. The end of the war was not because the two sides decided the outcome on the battlefield, but because one side's bank sent a notice that its account was frozen due to suspicious transactions.

But now, for Wo Jinre and Rong Liangyuan, they want to let the virtual Duite drop everything for the sake of their selfish pursuit, and embark on a journey that may last for years or even decades for them. What kind of price should we pay for the journey?
The two pondered together for a long time, then sadly bowed to the conclusion.The reason Wogginger had already emphasized in his question before was that they were almost a world away from the virtual opponent Dite, and there was no way to pay them.

In any case, they were still on their way to visit Feng.

At this time, Rong Liangyuan scratched his hair, and only when he was sure that he couldn't come up with any other plausible solutions in his head, he sighed faintly:
"...Really, in fact, my idea of ​​pulling up the peak at the beginning was to ask the scientific research team to come up with some methods to modify the information in the virtual world. You are full, the virtual is similar to the NPC in the game to us, right? If we can modify an unimaginable account balance for them, wouldn’t the problem be solved?”

Woking thought for a while, then sneered: "Pay with game currency? Thanks to you, you can figure it out."

"Isn't the money people in the virtual world can spend just game currency?" The mercenary leader shrugged.

The soft creature shook its head again: "I don't think so. After all, there are not many props that can be exchanged for game currency. The truly precious things can only be obtained with real money, which is the 'red and green modifier' mentioned in the allusions. "

The red-green modifier is a slang term for recharging games with red, green and green bills thousands of years ago. Today it has become a historical allusion that carries culture.

Rong Liangyuan grinned: "Hey, that's why I wanted to find Feng and set up a 'recharging window' for the world of Virtual Duite."

"Then did you succeed?"

"...I can only believe that His Majesty's scientific research team is omnipotent."

at this time.

Although the "omnipotent" peak is still flying with the fugitive, its energy is still on the satellite of the man in gray - the satellite will be destroyed after it is taken away from its original orbit. Automatically disconnect from the Tingyi network, and then go into hiding, even if you are close at hand, you can't find it at all.

If you want to study and visit the network established by the fallen country and where the virtual Duite resides, you can only work hard at the moment.

Fortunately, Zuo Wu doesn't seem to be planning to leave this galaxy right now, sharpening his knife without cutting firewood by mistake, and confirming the location of the Jingfu civilization is the highest priority right now.But in the real world, it is much easier to play than in the hyperspace channel.

Of course, Wo Jinre and Rong Liangyuan are not the only smart people under Zuo Wu's command. Others can also see Zuo Wu's current thoughts, and many people want to try their luck with the satellite of the man in gray.

Near the satellite, the scientific research platform was built as usual, and carbon ink-colored tents were also erected on it——

Once upon a time, when the creatures of the Milky Way had just stepped into the sea of ​​stars, and space archeology was barely getting started, similar tents popped up near the relics that were sleeping in the deep space.

In the beginning, the tents were made of foldable solar panels, which solved the temporary energy problem of countless archaeological teams.

Although people can use more convenient energy nowadays, the style of the tent has been given a "professional" color, just like the lamp tube at the entrance of a barber shop.

Of course, the tents that actually have researchers under Zuo Wu's command are only a small handful of the countless, and the others are speculators like Wo Jinre and Rong Liangyuan.It is easy to recognize that the speculator's tent system is quite standard, but the researcher's tent is much more casual.

There are always air bubbles attached to the scientific research platform.There is no need to continue to wear helmets and visors used for spacewalks here. As soon as you enter the range of air bubbles, you will be greeted with hustle and bustle and noise.

The periphery of the platform seemed a little crowded. Wo Jinnuo looked around and found that there was a long queue of speculators like him.The target of the queue is the tent located in the middle of the platform. On the top of the tent, the big "peak" character shows who its owner is.

And Wo Jinnua suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Seeing that Rong Liangyuan joined the line very naturally, and bought two strangely shaped skewers from the barbecue stall next to the line, and handed one to himself, Wojin's enthusiasm erupted with a premonition:
"Wait, wait, haven't you already recruited Feng into the group? Why do we have to wait in line when we see him?!"

"That's right, it's just that we're not the only gang in the peak, and our status is almost equal to that of other gangs it joined." Rong Liangyuan shrugged, swallowed the skewers in one gulp, and wiped his mouth slowly: " Don't worry, the probability of Feng finally adopting our proposal is extremely high."

Wo Jinre took a deep breath and pointed to the long dragon in front of him: "That is to say, everyone has their own plan, where did you come from that the Confidence Peak will accept us in the end?!"

"Look at you, other gangs, is there someone like you who is expected to predict the direction where the civilization of Jingfu will be located?" Rong Liangyuan shrugged.

The mollusk was almost laughed angrily: "Since you don't have a unique position with Feng, why should I cooperate with you, instead of signing up by yourself, go talk to Feng?"

Rong Liangyuan grinned, and suddenly pointed at Wo Jinre with his index finger:

"In front of me is a man who has spent 20 years in the Star Sea Alliance. He tried to sell his plan to step out of the galaxy but failed repeatedly. He never succeeded in an interview. If he hadn't met His Majesty, he would have been swallowed by the darkness of the ring. fall, and then no one will know his precious perseverance;”

Then, the mercenary leader pointed to himself again:
"And in front of you is a guy who has been hanging out in the galaxy for a long time. At the beginning, he only had a fruit knife stolen from a restaurant, but it made people believe that I have strength. I took the first job as a servant at the age of nine." soldier business, and slowly until now, the mercenary leader finally has 37 ships and [-] men under his command."

"Haha, in fact, you can introduce your divination method to others at any time. Use your pen fairy game, and your self-created spell that no one can understand, saying that you can predict the location of Jingfu civilization."

"Everyone can see that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win His Majesty's favor. You can ask others to bet their future on your method, anytime, and ask others to trust you who have never met before. But no matter what the result is, I will only I will tell you one thing - that I will always believe in you."

Wojin took a deep breath and went to other civilizations to apply for a job. The memories of several interviews and rebuffs flooded his mind, which was extremely painful.Who would want to tear open the scars on their body again?I do have confidence in predicting the location of Jingfu's civilization, but it is really difficult for me to take the initiative to interview again.

The mollusk could only hug its arms, took the skewer from Rong Liangyuan, and stuffed it into its mouth randomly:

"...Damn it, aren't you a white wolf with empty hands? I remembered that earth joke. A director wanted to invite two big stars to participate. He told A that B would participate, and told B that A would join. Then the two A star really came for each other.”

"That's because the director has a lot of face, we are different. Well, let's think about it quickly while waiting in line, what price can we pay for the virtual interest in Dite?" Rong Liangyuan shrugged and spat out one of the skewers. Hard chewable tentacles:
"If you can't figure it out, then Feng will probably report our plan, and it's time for His Majesty to go and talk to the virtual dialogue in person."

Wo Jinre squinted: "That's right, Your Majesty and Xu Wen have such a good relationship with Dite, and Dian will probably listen to his request. Ha, what price are you thinking about, and the result is not the same?"

"The result is the same for His Majesty, but it is different for us." The smile on Rong Liangyuan's face slowly disappeared, but he took a quite comfortable breath: "It's great, I'm starting to find the feeling, speculative, selfish, That's what it feels like."

The mollusc creature grinded and squeezed the skewer with the muscles in its mouth, saying, "Selfishness is not a good word."

"Okay, how about changing it and fighting for yourself?" the mercenary leader said.

Damn it, you really don't like oil and salt, you have completely forgotten His Majesty's previous slogans.Wojinre wanted to say that, but he didn't say the words in the end.Because his mouth was also pierced, he spit out lightly, and found that it was the same type of hard tentacle that Rong Liangyuan spit out just now.

What he can't eat, he can't eat.Ha, it's just such a strange detail that doesn't make much sense. For the first time, Woking felt that he and the mercenary leader in front of him might be the same kind of people.
-
Feng's body is that huge starship, and its huge size always gives people a feeling that it can easily fit the entire Mount Everest in its stomach.Its own activities rely on projection, and of course there will not be only one projection.

The projection made for it also has some black technology, as if wantonly playing with the way of light transmission.As long as there is a small gap between a place and the main body of the peak, the projection can move freely in that space.

Everyone can see that Zuo Wu attaches great importance to research. Now that the resources in the dilapidated galaxy are already limited, the materials that the scientific research team can mobilize have not decreased, but have increased.

After all, Xindilian is a regime, and its interior is also a society.Of course, the scientific research team that Zuo Wu valued cannot be isolated from other parts of society.

It's just that those fanatical researchers have social problems, and it's already a great restraint not to arrest other people as experimental subjects.Feng, the starship, was actually the one with the highest EQ in the team, so he took full responsibility for contacting others.

This tent was erected for such a purpose, and it proved to be a meaningful act.Many research topics come out of contact with others, and Feng has been reminded by others countless times before he notices the information that he has accidentally ignored.

It's a pity that Feng's main business is still research, and it is very distressing to allocate part of the computing power to contact customers. The number of projections it releases is not many, and every customer who wants to contact it seems to have endless words.

In the end, Wo Jinre and Rong Liangyuan stood in line for a long time.

Finally it was their turn, and no one jumped in line, and they couldn't.Feng showed the same smile to the two of them who entered his tent: "Hello, both of you, what can I do for you?"

Rong Liangyuan exhaled, rubbed his eyes, tightened the bag containing the sleeping bag, and then pointed to Wo Jinre: "My brother, once helped His Majesty predict the possibility of the arrival of Sorin."

Feng nodded: "I know, I also know Mr. Wogginger. Ah, sir, do you mean that you can predict the location of Jingfu civilization for your majesty?"

The interview process can be described as extremely smooth. Feeling Feng's gaze, Wo Jinre wanted to nod, but the countless failures in the past came to the top of his heart again, making him speechless.

Rong Liangyuan nodded for him: "That's right."

"Okay! Then can I ask Mr. Wokinger to demonstrate for me a few times now? Don't be nervous. If you fail once, just do it a few more times. We have time." Feng said.

Almost in a hurry.

Woking knelt down on the spot and set up his fortune-telling stand, which was exactly the same as the one he had rehearsed countless times in the queue.Rong Liangyuan took a step back, trying not to let his sight interfere with Wo Jinre.

Woking became even more nervous, and he also mispronounced the spell he created several times. Fortunately, no one could understand it, so no one knew of his mistakes.Soon, the fortune-telling keyboard was "cracked" by him, and an obscure character string appeared in the vision of the three of them.

Feng used part of his computing power to analyze: "Huh? It's interesting. I can see that this is a password, but it will take some time to analyze..."

"No, there is a result," Woking said, but the excitement on his face was soon filled with doubts: "Eh? Weird."

"What's wrong?" Rong Liangyuan couldn't wait.

And the doubts on Wojinre's face became deeper and deeper: "According to my divination...prediction, the branch of the Jingfu civilization closest to us, the main body is actually those canned starfish...ah no, the starfish people."
