A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

the fact is……

It’s a coincidence indeed.

Lin Yang confirmed repeatedly that this flight was indeed heading to Qianpan Star and would not stop at other planets on the way.

It's a direct interstellar flight.

"This……"

Lin Yang boarded the spaceship with a strange look on his face and found his cabin.

Then his expression became even weirder.

squeeze!
It’s too crowded!
The ordinary seats on the public flights here are much more crowded than the ordinary seats on the public flights in the universe.

It was as if he wanted to cram three people into the space originally occupied by one person.

"Damn capitalists..."

Lin Yang complained in his heart.

Although he could more or less understand that the pressure on human survival here was too great, and that traveling in space also involved considerable risks.

The goal is to make as much money as possible on a flight, but the space is too narrow.

It is not something that most people can endure, as they have to keep their bodies straight while sailing for months.

However, the humans here don't seem to care much about this.

Years of survival pressure have made them more resistant to stress and able to endure hardship.

"Alas...damn aliens!"

Lin Yang sighed, closed his eyes silently to rest, and at the same time quietly absorbed the spiritual universal substance.

Not long after, a noisy sound suddenly came from beside me.

"Look, that's the fleet of merchants from the Qianpan Star. They seem to be flying together."

"That's true. It should be because we accepted the escort mission. We are much safer this time."

"It seems that the merchant suffered a heavy loss in the goods this time, otherwise he would not have accepted this kind of escort mission."

"No wonder this flight took off so quickly, it must have been put together with the merchants."

"..."

The passengers next to them were talking in a flurry, and from time to time they could see the merchant warship flying along through the porthole.

After listening to these discussions, Lin Yang gained a better understanding of the merchants.

The Shang family is considered a big family on Qianpan Star, but it is not the top big family.

But it is also a force with its own fleet.

Although the overall strength of the fleet is not very strong, it is already something that many ordinary families cannot achieve.

The presence or absence of a fleet is a watershed in one’s strength and status.

Even with just a small fleet, you can do a lot.

For example, the escort in front of us.

Since traveling in space within the Myriad Universe is full of risks, the forces that own the public flights on the major planets will cooperate to a certain extent with the major families with fleets.

If there are public interstellar flights with the same destination, the fleet will generally be invited to escort them along the way.

Of course, it is not a free escort, but a relatively substantial reward will be given.

After all, compared with the money to be paid for compensation after a flight accident and the money to be sent specifically for escort, the cost of escort is not so painful.

Moreover, if an irresistible danger is encountered, there is no requirement to ensure the safety of public flights, nor is there any need to pay any penalty.

Therefore, if it is on the way and there are no special circumstances, the fleets of major families will generally take on this escort mission.

This is the case with the merchant’s fleet now.

There were several warships flying on both sides of the spacecraft.

If there are any minor troubles, they will be resolved by the fleet.

"In the myriad universes, interstellar flights do not require escorts."

Lin Yang once again sighed at the hardship of survival for the people here.

Then, several more discussions caught Lin Yang's attention.

"Speaking of which, this merchant is really unlucky. Originally, the merchant was thriving, and Madam Ma gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, making everyone envious. Unfortunately, the younger son was beaten and his brain was damaged, and he became a fool. Madam Ma died of grief, and the merchant's owner, Shang Changshan, also lost his ambition. Otherwise, the merchant would probably be the top family on Qianpan Star now, at least, it would not be gradually declining."

"Yes, it can only be said that fate plays tricks on us. Now the Shang family is only supported by the eldest daughter Shang Qingluo. However, it is estimated that she will not be able to hold on for too long. Such a big family is only supported by one woman. The family business is very coveted."

"If you ask me, Shang Changshan is also a lovesick man. After Madam Ma passed away, he refused to remarry. Otherwise, if he had had a few more children to help each other, he might be much better off now."

"Everyone has their own choices. There are very few people like Shang Changshan in big families. Some of them have a lot of illegitimate children, while others have many mistresses. Although the Shang family's situation is lamentable, Shang Changshan is also admirable."

"Yes, there are very few people like Shang Changshan who are rich, powerful, and deeply devoted to their love."

"..."

Several passengers whispered.

Lin Yang was somewhat stunned when he heard this.

It sounds like the business is pretty miserable?

After a pause, he also felt curious and turned to ask the person behind him, "Sir, how did the merchant's youngest son get beaten into a fool?"

The other party was very enthusiastic and immediately said, "This matter was a big event back then. Are you from the Qianpan star?"

"No." Lin Yang shook his head.

"No wonder, listen to me..."

The person behind him immediately told Lin Yang a piece of gossip:
"Back then, the Shang family had a mortal enemy, the Tang family. Some of the two families' businesses overlapped. Because the Tang family acted too domineeringly, many ordinary people were unhappy with them, and they all went to the Shang family's businesses to spend money."

"The Tang family was a little angry about this, and they repeatedly made trouble with the merchant, and the two families became enemies. Later, due to the Tang family's frequent troubles, the merchant's business was greatly affected. In desperation, the merchant and the Tang family agreed to have a fair fight to divide the business territory."

"Originally, this kind of competition was to stop at a certain point, and it was also a relatively peaceful solution that the empire advocated. But the Tang family suddenly made a fatal move and wanted to wipe out the Shang family. In order to save people, the Shang family's youngest son blocked it for his sister, and as a result, his brain was damaged and he became half stupid."

"After that, it was what we just talked about. Mrs. Shang died of grief because her son was injured and she had no way to seek medical treatment. In addition, she had no hope of revenge. The head of the Shang family, Shang Changshan, never recovered from the blow, and the Shang family declined year by year."

"If it weren't for the fact that the eldest daughter of the merchant family was able to work hard and hold on to some of the family business, the merchant family would have been swallowed up long ago."

"..."

As this person spoke, Lin Yang couldn't help but frown: "There is no hope of revenge? Aren't the two families evenly matched? Both of them broke their son's head, so why wouldn't the Shang family do everything they can to get revenge?"

"It's not that simple. We were at war with the alien race, so we had to unite against the outside world. Although the Tang family didn't follow the unspoken rules, they didn't kill anyone after all."

The person in the back seat spoke again:
"At least, I didn't succeed in killing someone in public."

"Plus, not long after the incident, a member of the Tang family got lucky and was taken in as a student by a powerful man who came to the empire to do business. As a result, the merchants had to be treated as inferiors. Many of their industries and resources were swallowed up, and there was no hope of revenge from then on."

Lin Yang was stunned: "This..."

He was a little speechless for a moment.

The other party sighed and said:
"This is the reality. It cannot be determined by personal likes and dislikes. Although many people dislike the Tang family, they can only try their best to reduce their consumption of businesses. As for the business, they can only swallow it themselves."

"Thank you for telling me." Lin Yang didn't ask any more questions.

"It's nothing, you're welcome." The other party smiled, then lowered his voice to remind him, "Sir, you are not a Qianpan star. This time, you must remember to avoid provoking the Tang family as much as possible, and spend less money at their properties. It's not because I personally hate them that I want you to do this, but the Tang family is now more domineering than before. Sometimes, they just spend money to make themselves unhappy."

After saying this, the man seemed to be afraid that Lin Yang would not believe it, so he added: "If you don't believe it, go and experience it yourself and you will know!"

"Thank you for your reminder, I will remember it." Lin Yang said again.

"You are too polite..."

Afterwards, Lin Yang closed his eyes again and absorbed the spiritual universal substance.

I was thinking secretly in my heart.

The merchant saved him and gave him considerable help.

He would wait until he arrived at Qianpan Star to see the situation first. If the Tang family was indeed behaving in a perverse manner, he would not mind helping the merchants.

Just consider it as repaying Shang Qingluo and others for rescuing me before.

One of Lin Yang's principles of conduct is to repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude!

this day.

The system's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Yang's mind.
"Host, the information module has been unlocked, but due to some rules, most of the information still needs to be unlocked for a fee."

"...I knew it!" Lin Yang curled his lips secretly. To be honest, he was not very surprised.

Because I have long been used to it.

Advanced special information modules require payment for the information contained therein.

For example, the information about the stone sculpture in the unknown space is divided into ten parts, and each part is worth 10 billion national treasures.

Simply abstract.

"Is there basic information about this universe?" Lin Yang asked.

"Yes, host, this is indeed the symmetrical universe area of ​​​​the myriad universes. This is not good news."

"What is a symmetrical universe zone? Now it can be explained, right?" Lin Yang asked again.

"Host, there are two concepts in the symmetrical universe. One of them is advanced information and requires payment. This system can tell you the other one first. Do you want to know?"

"...Speak!" Lin Yang resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

This also requires payment?
"Okay, host, one of the concepts is that the myriad universes plus the myriad worlds universes belong to a complete universe zone."

"..."

"..."

"Hmm? That's all? Just this one sentence?"

Lin Yang waited for a while and found that the system did not have the second sentence, and he couldn't help but frowned.

After unlocking it for half a month, this is all you can say?

"Yes, host."

"…Are you kidding me?"

Lin Yang was speechless:
"The two together make up a complete universe. Is there no more detailed explanation for this sentence?"

"I'm sorry, host, I brought you a bad experience. Regarding this issue, you can refer to the following information."

This time the system gave an explanation that made Lin Yang's heart jump:

"Host, both the Ten Thousand Universes and the Ten Thousand Worlds Universes are called "ten thousand", but no matter whether it is the Ten Thousand Universes or the Ten Thousand Worlds Universes, there are only more than 3,000 numbered universes. You may be able to make some inferences based on this."

Lin Yang's pupils shrank when he heard this. He suppressed his shock and said, "System, do you mean that the "ten thousand" in the Ten Thousand Universes and Ten Thousand Worlds Universes is not an exaggeration, but an actual number?"

"Yes, host."

"This..." Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat again, and he couldn't help but say, "So, the universe of the Ten Thousand Universes plus the various universes on the Ten Thousand Worlds side can constitute the actual "ten thousand" number, and it also needs to reach the "ten thousand" number. The sum of the two is actually the real Ten Thousand Universes?"

"And the current myriad universes and myriad worlds are both incomplete?"

"Yes, host."

"But... even if we add the two together, the total number of all the numbered universes known to both parties is only about 7,000, which is still nearly 3,000 short!" Lin Yang's doubts deepened:

"Could it be that there is another area similar to the Myriad Universes and the Myriad Worlds Universe?"

"Host, there will only be two universe zones in the symmetrical universe zone." The system said so.

Lin Yang was stunned: "The numbers don't match at all!"

"Host, the ruined space in the unknown space ruins may have been a normal universe."

The system gave another surprising statement.

"Ok?"

Lin Yang's heart was shocked:
"You mean, the nearly three thousand missing universes are in the ruins of unknown space?"

"Host, this system has only analyzed the possibilities based on the known information. Since the detailed information lacks the national treasure value to unlock, we cannot give you a definite answer for now, but, this should be the case."

"Oh..." Lin Yang's eyes flashed, "If that's the case, then it seems that there are many secrets hidden in the unknown space."

"If the dilapidated space in the ruins was originally a universe, it must have been destroyed to such an extent by some force that is difficult to understand and imagine at the moment."

"It can destroy a universe and move it to the so-called "ruins"..."

Lin Yang found it hard to imagine what kind of horrible method that was.

"Host, large-scale destruction of the universe is usually caused by war. The universe in the unknown space must have experienced a very terrible war, and the universe has been damaged."

The system said again.

"war?"

Lin Yang frowned, finding it hard to imagine what level of war could destroy nearly three thousand universes.

After a pause, he collected his thoughts temporarily.

The power or war that could destroy the universe was too far away from him now, so there was no point in thinking about it too much.

Immediately, Lin Yang asked, "Were the Ten Thousand Universes and the Ten Thousand Worlds Universe originally supposed to be a whole? Were they later divided into what they are today, or were they separate from the beginning?"

"Host, this system cannot answer this question at the moment. The detailed answer should be in the payment information."

"...Let's do this for now, and we'll talk about it later when there's a national treasure worth it."

Lin Yang curled his lips and asked no more questions.

He is so poor now!

The debt is worth tens of billions of national treasures.

I don't have any currency here.

"Whether it's national treasure value or Fengqi currency, it's imperative!"

Lin Yang sighed.

It’s simply impossible to move forward without money!

too difficult!
After that, he stopped talking to the system and continued to absorb the spiritual universal substance silently.

Now, the most important thing is to regain full strength!

Only when you have strength can you consider the next step.

time flies.

A few months later.

The spacecraft landed on the planet Subaru.

This interstellar voyage ends.

As a normal civilized planet, Qianpanxing seems to be pretty good.

"It's settled."

Lin Yang muttered as he walked out of the spaceship and stretched his muscles.

Even for him, it felt a bit uncomfortable not moving for several months.

Just when Lin Yang walked out of the spaceship.

On the merchant spaceship next to them, Shang Qingluo and others also filed out.

Zhang Bu casually glanced towards the public spaceship, and then couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Isn't that Mr. Lin Yang?"

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice, Shang Qingluoma Bo and others looked over and frowned slightly.

"Why is he here?" Ma Bo whispered, "Is he trying to rely on us?"

Shang Qingluo's eyes flickered twice, and he shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Gu Yinxing was invaded, and he must have felt that it was unsafe there, so he chose the fastest flight to leave Gu Yinxing, and this flight was the fastest. I think it must be a coincidence."

"What should we do now?" Ma Bo asked again, "We gave him five million, and he bought the ticket. Now he should be penniless."

"This……"

Shang Qingluo was hesitating when suddenly two voices rang out in succession, making her temporarily unable to reply to Ma Bo's words. She looked towards the source of the voice and smiled.

"Qingluo."

"elder sister!"

A middle-aged man with graying hair and a young man with an innocent face were waving at Shang Qingluo.

"Father, little brother, why are you here?"

Shang Qingluo walked over quickly, pinched the boy's face very gently, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you didn't make your father angry at home, did you?"

The boy laughed and shook his head: "No, sister, I'm very good."

"Do you miss your sister?" Shang Qingluo's voice also softened.

"miss you!"

The young man simply nodded, then raised his hand, took out something that looked like a "sugar man" from behind, handed it to Shang Qingluo, and said with a smile: "Look, sister, this is the sticky sugar painting I made for you, sister, you eat it."

"Chengfeng is so good!"

Shang Qingluo took the things with a smile, and also took out an exquisite battleship toy and handed it to the boy: "This is a gift from your sister. Do you like it?"

"I like it! I like all the gifts my sister gives me! Thank you, sister!" The boy took the toy and played with it with joy in his eyes.

Seeing this, the white-haired middle-aged man's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he said: "Gu Yinxing had such a big incident, Chengfeng was worried about you, and knew that you would arrive today, so he asked me to come pick you up early in the morning."

Hearing this, Shang Qingluo's eyes flashed with pity. He gently touched the boy's head and whispered, "Father, we are relatively safe. This time, an adult happened to pass by on Gu Yinxing and quickly resolved the invasion. We didn't lose too much cargo."

"That's good. I've heard about this, too. That lord is probably at least an extraordinary warrior of the super class, to be able to deal with the alien invasion so efficiently." Shang Changshan nodded slightly.

"It's a pity that that adult never showed up from beginning to end..." Shang Qingluo's tone was filled with some inexplicable emotion.

Shang Changshan's eyes suddenly became serious: "Qingluo, father knows that you have always wanted to find an opportunity to meet the adults and try to become a student of an adult, but this kind of thing cannot be forced. Father has no other ideas now. As long as you and Chengfeng live safely, it is enough. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, understand?"

"Father, I understand. I will definitely take good care of my younger brother." Shang Qingluo took a deep breath, "Let's go home first."

"Okay, go home."

"Sister, go home!"

Shang Qingluo took the boy's hand and turned to look at Uncle Ma: "Uncle Ma, I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, Miss!" Ma Bo smiled and looked at the young man.

The young man immediately let go of Shang Qingluo's hand, hugged Ma Bo, and said crisply: "Ma Bo, Chengfeng misses you too."

"Haha, Chengfeng is so good. Uncle Ma misses our little Chengfeng too. Let's see what delicious food Uncle Ma brought for you."

Ma Bo laughed and took out a big bag of Gu Yinxing's specialty snacks, his eyes full of doting on the young man.

"Thank you, Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma is the best to Chengfeng!" The boy smiled happily while holding the specialty snacks.

"Uncle Ma, just spoil him. What a snack! He won't eat today again." Shang Qingluo couldn't help but chuckle at the side.

"Haha, Chengfeng only eats once every few months, so it's no big deal to skip a meal." Ma Bo laughed again.

not far away.

Lin Yang was observing this scene.

Shang Qingluo's younger brother was indeed as people said, his head was injured, and his IQ was estimated to be that of a three or four year old, or at most five or six years old.

"The technology here is not advanced enough to treat his brain injury. System, do you have any solution?" Lin Yang asked.

The technological civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds Universe is far behind that of the Myriad Universes.

As for the strong ones, I guess even businesses can’t afford them.

Didn't even get a chance to see it.

If we can cure this young man's brain injury, it would be like repaying the help that Shang Qingluo and others had given us.

"Host, the brain itself is quite sensitive. You may need to move closer so that this system can conduct a preliminary examination."

"Oh, then I'll find a chance."

Lin Yang nodded and looked at Shang Qingluo's younger brother Shang Chengfeng, who was also grinning happily at the moment.

Suddenly, Shang Chengfeng turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of Lin Yang who was observing them.

Then he pointed accurately at Lin Yang in the crowd and whispered to Shang Qingluo: "Sister, that man has been watching us. Is he a bad guy?"

"Ok?"

Shang Qingluo turned her head and looked over, then whispered: "Don't be afraid, little brother, he shouldn't be a bad guy, sister knows him."

"Ah? That's my sister's friend?" The boy immediately retracted his fingers and then suddenly walked towards Lin Yang.

"Little brother!"

"Chengfeng, come back soon!"

Shang Qingluo and Ma Bo called out at the same time.

Unfortunately, the boy ran like the wind and came to Lin Yang, whispering: "Hello, brother, you are my sister's friend. I was very rude to point at you just now. Let me buy you some snacks."

As he said that, he handed the big gift bag of snacks in his hand to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang looked at the boy who suddenly ran over, and then looked at the bag of snacks in front of him. He was also stunned for a split second, but then he took out a small bag of snacks and said with a smile:
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you!"

"..."

Seeing this, Shang Qingluo and Ma Bo, who were not far away, looked shocked and solemn.

Shang Changshan looked at the two men's expressions, then glanced at Lin Yang who was talking to Shang Chengfeng with a smile, and seemed to understand something. He whispered, "Qingluo, does that gentleman have any questions?"

"Father, we rescued him on the way to Gu Yinxing, but the situation is a bit complicated." Shang Qingluo sighed and quickly told Shang Changshan the situation.

Just at this moment, Shang Chengfeng pulled Lin Yang over and said, "Sister, brother is here!"

"Miss Shang, Uncle Ma, and Zhang Bu, hello, nice to see you again."

Lin Yang greeted with a smile.
