With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 262 Star Sand!

The capital of the Marsh Abyss civilization.

Under the leadership of Olaya, Chen Fan and the others left the forum area and came to the truly prosperous area of ​​the city.

“The output of Xingsha is very low and the price is also very high.”

When it comes to Xingsha, Olaya's mental state becomes obviously excited: "So Xingsha can't be bought everywhere."

He took the trouble to introduce Chen Fan and the others: "Hemu District, this is the largest tourist attraction in the Marsh Abyss Civilization, and it is also the only area on the planet where star sand is legally sold."

"legitimate?"

Chen Fan quickly noticed the key information in Olaya's words: "Does it mean there are still illegal selling places?"

Olaya smiled bitterly and nodded: "Of course."

"Xingsha is firmly controlled by the advanced civilization of the Mining Alliance. In fact, our third-level civilization does not have much share."

"So... some interstellar caravans will purchase star sand from high-level civilizations and sell it to low-level civilizations at high prices."

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

Interstellar scalper, right? !
"Of course, this kind of behavior is strictly prohibited." Olaya added in a hoarse voice, "If you are caught, there will be basically no good consequences."

“But because the income is high enough, this kind of non-compliant star sand is still emerging in a steady stream.”

Chen Fan was not surprised by this.

What is there to say?

Once there are appropriate profits, capital becomes bolder.

As long as the profits are high enough, there will naturally be a steady stream of desperate people who are not afraid of death.

Following Olaya's footsteps, Chen Fan noticed that the surrounding environment gradually changed.

Towering trees that are hundreds of meters high rise from the ground, with their withered yellow trunks piercing straight into the sky, like a sharp sword pointing to the sky!
There are almost no branches on the trunks, and it is not until the top area that these trunks suddenly spread out in all directions.

They were tiny twigs. These twigs continued to extend around and intertwined with nearby giant twigs, eventually weaving a huge seemingly undulating canopy hundreds of meters in the air.

Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a towering tree that has grown into a forest all by itself, covering dozens of square kilometers.

A large number of steel-cast buildings use these towering trees as beams to form a unique urban area.

On the stone-paved streets, the number of people coming and going gradually increased.

In addition to those blue-skinned giant-headed giant salamanders that were swaying, a variety of amphibians and molluscs appeared in Chen Fan's sight.

"These are Hemu."

Olaya's voice came from the side: "This is a unique landscape of the Marsh Abyss civilization."

"Hemu's strength far exceeds that of conventional steel, and its average height reaches more than 100 meters."

"The entire Hemu District is an urban area built on Hemulin."

Chen Fan looked at the environment in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

I have to admit that if you exclude the weird amphibians and soft-bodied creatures on the streets, this is indeed a city that can be called a work of art.

Compared with the previous charming street, the prosperity of Hemu District has indeed more than doubled.

"That is the Star Sand Store of the Marsh Abyss Civilization."

Olaya raised his withered and thin arm and pointed at the tall steel building surrounded by straight trees.

Compared with the surrounding buildings, the steel building located in the center of Hemulin is exceptionally tall, and it also attracts the most people.

Whether it is a blue-skinned giant-headed salamander or a large soft-bodied worm, they are basically all surrounding the huge steel castle.

……

Star Sand Store.

Relying on Olaya's identity, Chen Fan and the others entered the steel castle, which was 100 meters high and almost topped the canopy of the Hemulin forest, without encountering any obstruction.

The space inside the castle is very spacious, and almost every "customer" has a sufficient rest environment.

There is an empty cup made of high-quality crystal placed on the table at almost every seat. Some of the empty cups still have a little strange-colored liquid remaining at the bottom.

As for the seats...

Whether it's a blue-skinned giant salamander or a soft-bodied worm, the reaction of each creature is very similar.

Their bodies were slightly twisted, and there was a faint excitement in their expressions. Their eyes looked up at the sky blankly, as if they were staring at some god invisible to others.

The scene in front of him made Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.

This horse riding...are you sure it's not some kind of addict's paradise?
Chen Fan cursed in his heart and became extremely wary of Xingsha.

[Chen Fan, I feel something is not right here. 】

Isa's voice sounded in the psychic network.

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at the tight and pretty face behind the mask.

[If something is not right, then it is right. Is the right place where we should come? 】

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and once again looked at the big-headed giant salamander next door that was obviously in hallucination, and then said in the spiritual network: [Everyone, pay attention. 】

[Wait and remember to turn on the liquid sample storage function of the mechanical exoskeleton. 】

[I’m talking about you, Gao Yuan! 】

[Don’t really drink that star sand! 】

After hearing Chen Fan's instructions in the spiritual network, Gao Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Your Excellency Chen Fan, please take a seat." After walking around, Olaya finally found an empty seat and hurriedly sat down while also extending an invitation to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan did not speak, but sat on the wooden chair with a calm expression.

Compared with the seats inside the starship, the chairs in the Star Sand Shop are obviously much wider - it even considers the size of the alien tourists!
More than ten seconds later.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, a big-headed giant salamander swayed towards Olaya.

"Your Excellency Olaya." The same hoarse voice came, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time, more than a month in total." Olaya nodded in agreement, then pointed at Chen Fan and the other three beside him, "I'm treating you today, four cups of star sand."

Hearing this, the unfamiliar big-headed giant salamander showed an obviously surprised look.

"Four cups of star sand? This costs a lot of Swamp Abyss coins!"

He quickly glanced at the three Chen Fans who were wrapped in exoskeleton armor: "These three are..."

"Friends from advanced civilizations." Olaya stretched out five fingers and interrupted the giant salamander's words at the same time, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, you know?"

The unfamiliar big-headed salamander looked solemn, quickly withdrew his curious gaze, and then turned around and left silently.

"Feel sorry."

After the giant salamander left, Olaya quickly apologized to Chen Fan: "The staff at Xingsha Store often watch people download discs, so I..."

"It's okay." Chen Fan waved his hand and asked casually, pretending not to care: "Do tourists from the fifth-level civilization rarely come to Maoyuan Star?"

Olaya turned her head and glanced at the hall, nodded slightly bitterly and admitted: "Of course."

"Even though there are so many aliens here, most of them are actually members of second- and third-level civilizations."

"Let's not talk about amphibians like us. Those soft-bodied creatures have natural physiological disadvantages."

"so……"

Chen Fan understood instantly.

Thinking about it, this is also the reason. Compared with humans, molluscs are indeed not very suitable for the development of science and technology - among other things, the mucus all over their bodies is enough to cause a lot of trouble for precise scientific research.

Just when Chen Fan was about to continue asking questions, a rush of footsteps came from the side.

Chen Fan turned his head subconsciously and saw four giant salamanders walking towards him holding four gorgeous crystal cups.

"Xingsha is here!"

There was a touch of uncontrollable excitement in Olaya's hoarse voice.

The previously suppressed desires completely burst out when I saw those four glasses of gorgeous drinks!
despair.

The cup made of crystal was gently placed on the table made of stone in front of Chen Fan, making a crisp sound.

Chen Fan's eyes did not stay on the beautifully crafted crystal cup for too long. He quickly looked at the gorgeous liquid contained in the cup.

Not bad, gorgeous!
Before seeing Xingsha, Chen Fan had a hard time imagining that a drink could be described as gorgeous.

The liquid's base hue is a deep, flowing blue.

At first glance, it seems to be seeing a cloudless sky.

In this breathtaking blue, finely divided fine sand-like substances flow slowly inside. These fine sands exude a strange luster, making the whole cup of liquid look extremely gorgeous!
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly understood the reason for naming it Xingsha.

The fine sand in the starry sky is star sand.

"Your Excellency Chen Fan, I, I will do it first!"

"As you wish!"

Seeing the star sand placed in front of him, Olaya finally couldn't restrain the original impulse in his heart. He said hello casually, and under Chen Fan's gaze, he couldn't wait to pick up the cup and drink it all!

……

The exciting blue liquid quickly flowed into Olaya's mouth and entered his digestive system along the esophagus.

After a few seconds, Olaya's eyes became visibly blurred.

He slowly slumped down on the wooden chair, his face showing the same intoxication and excitement as other big-headed salamanders.

"How do you feel now?"

Chen Fan picked up the cup in front of him and tentatively asked Olaya.

"me……"

Olaya had obviously lost consciousness, and he uttered a series of phrases of unknown meaning: "Beautiful...so beautiful..."

"Xingsha..."

"Hehe...I, I saw a nebula..."

The moment he finished speaking, Chen Fan's right hand trembled suddenly, and a little bit of the blue liquid in the crystal cup spilled out.

"What did you see?!" Chen Fan's tone quickly rose.

"Star... star..." Olaya shook his head, completely immersed in the illusion.

"Brother Fan?"

Looking at Chen Fan, whose face suddenly darkened, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask: "What... happened?"

Chen Fan carefully put down the crystal cup in his hand and glanced at Isha and Gao Yuan beside him with a strange look:

"you……"

His voice paused: "Do you still remember the Nebula potion used by the Mechanic Cult on Varela?"
