Tianguanzhi

Chapter 133 Don’t speculate
The Jili people are called Unhatched, and Haitang is commonly known as Egg People.

They are a natural fighting race, with intelligence similar to that of humans. They are born with the equivalent of 20 standard ECG points of humans. The egg people have a unique ability to cultivate ECG, and like humans, there is no upper limit to ECG. Several egg man elders have more than 100 standard ECG points, which is similar to Edward, the strongest human of this era.

Not only that, the egg people can survive underwater and in a vacuum environment. The hard eggshells can resist attacks from famous swords and Gaussian electric bombs. Compared with native humans with the same electrocardiogram value, the egg people's combat capability is undoubtedly stronger.

Like the Jixiang, the Egg People are a wandering species without their own habitat. They were also listed by the Doumu Palace as a celestial species that "can coexist peacefully and promote prosperity" very early on.

Although the Eggmen are generally brutal, they can communicate with each other as a whole. Most importantly, their civilization is still almost at the Iron Age of mankind. They do not have the ability to independently create cosmic machines, have no concept of surgery, and their knowledge of medicine is only herbal medicine and empirical medicine, without systematic geometry and physics...

As soon as they came into contact with humans, the egg people quickly fell into the capitalist commodity society, integrated into human society as mercenary troops, and were active in space wars of various intensities; in the next few decades, the egg people also helped reactionary governments and capitalists suppress the workers' and peasants' revolution, so that in many future film creations and comic strips, the image of ferocious egg people in various costumes acted as screen villains.

The above is all that humans currently know about egg people.

But only Gu Jianqiu knew that humans were still not cautious enough towards the egg people. In fact, since the unprecedented changes in a thousand years, all the cosmic people that the celestial officials had access to who had not yet become extinct had various secrets and taboos. If not handled properly, it would easily bring huge disasters to humans themselves.

It’s not that these celestial beings deliberately harbor evil intentions, but that humans have underestimated the chain reaction caused by the celestial beings’ invasion of the solar system.

"Wait a minute, I need to check."

The egg man's voice was very hoarse.

"No, I have important supplies for the Haitang Army on me, and they cannot be checked at will."

In fact, Gu Jianqiu was not afraid of the egg man's inspection. In this era, most humans could not recognize rocket backpacks at all, and the scanning sequence was not considered a dangerous item. Some people could make excuses to get away with it, but it is better to be safe than sorry, and he did not want to cause any trouble.

Kapok looked at Gu Jianqiu strangely and said, "Aren't you a servant? How could you transport such important materials alone?"

The eggman's mechanical compound eyes kept shrinking, emitting a scarlet light: "You can't go in without inspection."

Gu Jianqiu shook his head and also refused to back down.

A bunny girl with blond hair and blue eyes and curvy figure came out from the entrance upon call: "Mr. Zheng asked what's the noise outside?"

"It's me." Kapok said, "I brought the person here."

The girl looked at Gu Jianqiu curiously, then trotted back. After a while, she came back and said to the egg man, "Mr. Zheng said there's no need to check."

The egg man was silent for a while, then he made way through the door.

A golden chandelier hangs above the milky white hall, and the air is filled with a strange smell of alcohol and alien herbal fragrance. The Greek statue fountain hanging on the wall changes its water column from time to time. Scantily clad girls sit in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing, and occasionally glance over here.

Out of habit for unfamiliar enclosed spaces, Gu Jianqiu immediately observed his surroundings, trying to remember possible shelters and escape routes, but he soon discovered that these places were basically guarded by egg men. Including the one at the door, there were a total of six egg men here.

Seeing this, Kapok could not help but urge him: "There will be plenty of opportunities to see it in the future. Mr. Zheng is waiting for you. Let's go quickly."

Gu Jianqiu didn't care and followed the other person.

Zheng Yuanfu sat upright, surrounded by about five or six good-looking young girls of various shapes and sizes. One of them was a brown-skinned girl holding a radio, and a hoarse voice came from it.

"Except for a few who escaped on airships, the pirates who attempted to enter the city were basically wiped out. Those that couldn't be pieced together are just for show. There are a total of 36 relatively intact bodies, and some of them have been on your wanted list for two or three years. I have already sent the photos over. Ask someone to check them and transfer the head fee and the bounty to my account."

A petite black-haired girl brought a radio screen, and several horrifically dead faces were shown one by one on the screen, compared with the faces of the people marked with bounties.

There were people of all ages, even teenage boys.

"Well done! Anhaqid is indeed different. It is worthy of being the most powerful space cleaning company in the past two years."

Zheng Yuanfu was so busy chatting with the Eggman that he didn't pay much attention to Gu Jianqiu who was led in. He just glanced at him, picked up a still hot contract on the table and threw it in front of Gu Jianqiu, then took a big puff of his cigar and asked the other end of the radio: "Is there anyone alive?"

The other party was silent for a while, then said, "There is one, who seems to be a priest of the Spiritual Religion, and he is still very young. Those believers tried to cover his escape without caring about their lives, but they were eventually caught by my people. I am preparing to torture them to find out the whereabouts of those members of the Ao Tu Xiao."

Zheng Yuanfu peeled a banana excitedly and said to the other end of the radio: "Bring him to see me. I want to interrogate him personally."

"Is this necessary?"

"You don't understand. These pirates have given me a lot of trouble in the past few years. I finally caught a leader. Of course I have to meet him in person."

There was another silence, with only the rustling electronic sound on the other side of the radio. After a while, the other party finally spoke: "Okay, are you still in Yuanfu Building?"

Gu Jianqiu frowned slightly.

"No, no, no, I'm somewhere else. Haha, I have a lot of businesses. Let me send you the address and you come over now."

Zheng Yuanfu seemed very excited. "Well, OK, that's it."

Zheng Yuanfu signaled the girl to hang up the phone, then looked at Gu Jianqiu with interest: "Have you read the contract? Are you satisfied with the price?"

Gu Jianqiu glanced down at the contract in his hand. As far as a contract of sale was concerned, the price offered by Zheng Yuanfu was quite generous.

"Mr. Zheng, I don't quite understand what you mean. I am a servant soldier. According to the imperial law, even if I sign this contract, it will not take effect."

"As long as you cooperate, you will no longer be a servant soldier. I will create an accident, a realistic accident. This is a good opportunity for you. As a military leader, I know a little bit about the inside story. If you really get to the front line, it's hard to say whether you can be a serial soldier or not. You servant soldiers will definitely die. Hey, I saved you."

Zheng Yuanfu took the bottle of champagne handed over by the girl next to him. Gu Jianqiu could easily sense that she was abnormally excited and her eyes were dull. She must have just taken some psychiatric drugs.

"Thank you for your offer, Mr. Zheng, but I will decline."

"When the time comes, you can change your name and stay with me. I won't treat you unfairly."

Zheng Yuanfu talked to himself. He could hardly think of any reason why Gu Jianqiu would reject him.

"Ok?"

He came back to his senses and smacked his lips: "You, what did you just say?"

Gu Jianqiu repeated what he had just said.

Zheng Yuanfu touched his chin and said, "Because of that Mongolian girl who smelled of motor oil?"

He shook his head, pulled up a plump girl beside him and pushed her into Gu Jianqiu's arms.

The girl laughed like a silver bell and didn't take it seriously, but Gu Jianqiu frowned.

"Hahaha~ I'm just kidding. Um, her name is Lilith. She's still a virgin. Now she's yours. What would you like to drink? Oh, you don't like drinking alcohol. You prefer water, right? I've seen your consumption records. Lilith, pour the guest a glass of water."

The girl responded obediently. Zheng Yuanfu continued, "Are you afraid of being discovered? Don't worry. Your chief is a little tricky, but I don't worry about it. Besides, you are about to die. Do you have any choice? Oh, you don't know who I am, do you?"

He spoke like a string of cannonballs, and paused here deliberately, staring straight at Gu Jianqiu's face. After a while, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed a thoughtful expression: "It seems that's not the case. You know who I am."

The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy.

"So you are... ungrateful?"

Gu Jianqiu sighed in his heart and began to reflect on whether he should not have come here.

He organized his words and said, "Mr. Zheng..."

Zheng Yuanfu stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Those people outside don't know who I am. They call me Mr. Zheng. I won't argue with them. Ignorance is not a crime. But you are different. Since you know who I am, what should you call me?"

Zheng Yuanfu's attitude became more and more arrogant.

Gu Jianqiu suddenly laughed out loud. Although his laughter was very short and not very exaggerated, it still made Zheng Yuanfu stunned for a moment.

He had imagined many reactions from Gu Jianqiu, but he never expected that he would laugh.

He actually dared to laugh.

"Mr. Zheng."

Gu Jianqiu has always been a man who values ​​words very much, especially when talking to people he dislikes.

But on this occasion, he didn't mind saying a few more words.

"I have two months left before I go to the front to drive a mule machine. As you said just now, I am a dying man. No matter how noble your status is, it means nothing to me. It is really ungraceful to show off to a dying man like me. As for why I rejected you, well, there are many reasons. I don't know where to start. Just treat me as an unreasonable fool."

The girl named Lilith had brought boiled water long ago, but she was stunned by Gu Jianqiu's almost unbridled attitude, and for a moment she forgot to hand over the water.

Gu Jianqiu stood up, took the cup of water from the tray, put it to his nose and sniffed it before drinking it all in one gulp.

"Thank you."

Gu Jianqiu thanked the girl and then turned to Zheng Yuanfu: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
