Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 245 The Girl and the Treasure

If we look at it from the perspective of the social system of Jiqiao Star, Linglong is a noble.

Only the nobles could have managed to steal the national treasure of the Mechanical Planet in the midst of a fierce civil war.

The plan was flawless.

The Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce's support forces are massive, and the rebels' defeat is inevitable. The nobles in the Throne of Machinery only need to enjoy themselves every day and send out beacons for help to the Chamber of Commerce in their spare time, and the rebellion can be easily quelled.

The next step is to deal with the rebels.

On the issue of executing all the rebels, the rulers of the Mechanical Planet have reached a consensus with the envoys of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce, but the two sides have differences over the rebels' families, friends, and the towns and villages where they lived.

The rulers believed that this was an unprecedented rebellion. Simply executing some rebels was not enough to quell their anger, nor was it enough to completely imprint fear and awe in the hearts of every mechanical alien. They also needed more severe measures to prevent those potential rebels from ever having the slightest thought of resistance.

They believe that such a period of terror should last for five to ten years, allowing the rats living at the bottom of the society to report on each other and bite each other until they are exhausted.

But this will affect the reputation of the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce. After all, the entire rescue fleet came with the attitude of "mediating the fight".

At least the Semitic people of that period still cared very much about the outside world's opinion of them.

Therefore, after a series of consultations, the two sides finally reached a consensus - execute all rebels and exile all people related to the rebels. Even if you are just a neighbor of the rebels and have spoken a few words to them before the war broke out, you will be included in the list.

Those who are exiled are never allowed to return to the territory of the Mechanical Planet.

This gave Linglong's parents an opportunity.

As long as they get the timing right, once they have stolen the secret treasure of the Mechanical Throne and followed the refugees onto the evacuation flagship to leave the planet forever, they will have endless wealth and glory for the rest of their lives.

However, "Perfect" is a Debuff just like "Invincible".

In the process of stealing the secret treasure, they had a disagreement with their companions, which caused the guards to be alerted during the escape. They could only hide the treasure temporarily, and eventually, under the wanted order of the entire planet, they had to disguise their appearance and sneak onto the flagship that was evacuating the exiles.

Therefore, from the first day Linglong became sensible, she was instilled with a mission that could not be refused. Her parents had already designed her future path - to enter the company's higher education institution as an excellent student, to work in the company after graduation, and then to be recognized by the senior management with her outstanding performance and be transferred to work in the company headquarters.

According to the company's regulations, Linglong will have the opportunity to apply for an overseas assignment after working for a certain number of years.

And all these plans are for this sole purpose.

——Go to the Mechanical Planet as an employee of the Universal Company, conceal your whereabouts, and retrieve the great treasure that should have belonged to them.

Linglong's parents have planned every stage of her life, and ultimately she must rely on Universal Company as a stepping stone.

After listening to Linglong's story, Tang Qianqian and Duan Mingyuan felt mixed emotions.

They originally thought that Linglong was also one of the refugees who were expelled from the planet, but they didn't expect that her parents were wanted for stealing national treasures. It was entirely her own fault that she ended up like this.

"What exactly is the great secret treasure they are talking about?"

Tang Qianqian asked.

"do not know."

Linglong shook her head and said seriously, "But I will find it. When I find the great secret treasure, I will return the boat ticket money to you."

"But it's been so long since they escaped from the Mechanical Planet. Maybe the stolen treasure has already been found."

"Then I'll steal it again. Anyway, I'll definitely return the money to you."

Why is this little girl so stubborn!
It seems that she has been brainwashed by her parents so badly that she is willing to sacrifice her entire life for an illusory treasure.

"But why? You are a top student in the city's No. 1 Middle School. As long as you continue at this pace, you will get the job that countless people dream of. You don't even need to find the secret treasure to live a good life."

While persuading her, Tang Qianqian was already considering whether to report Linglong's parents, the two thieves who had stolen the country.

After escaping from their home planet, these two people not only did not repent, but also tried to train their children to become thieves!
"Repay them for their upbringing."

Linglong's eyes suddenly became very determined, "As long as I hand over the secret treasure to them, my life will no longer be controlled by them."

For a long time, she felt like a puppet and everything she experienced was predetermined.

Until, she had a turning point in a wild dream.

No longer a tool that is designed to be good, but exists as herself.

She began to look forward to the dream every day.

Dreams are more colorful than the real world. There are friends and professors there, and even if you do some unorthodox pranks, you will not be severely criticized.

But every dream has a moment of waking up.

Whenever the morning light shines into the house, the first moment she opens her eyes, the burden will fall on her shoulders again.

"Student Linglong, your idea is very problematic."

Tang Qianqian never thought that one day she would warn others like a senior. She said seriously, "If you need help, we can communicate with your parents instead of indulging you to become a thief!"

"do not want!"

Linglong hugged her knees and lay down on the ground. "I won't go back. Even if you don't take me with you, I will find other ways."

"In my experience, runaway children may need some time to calm down, and an interstellar tour may have a good effect."

Duan Mingyuan said. "Senior!"

"But we have an appointment first. When we get to the Planet of Machine, you are not allowed to steal anything."

"it is good."

Linglong agreed without hesitation.

"Also, if you want to get on board, you must ask the captain's permission."

Duan Mingyuan dialed the third prince's number in front of the two of them. When the call was connected, they seemed to hear Caidie's voice.

"What? You said there was a ship ghost on the Ranger? Let me see!"

The third prince was very anxious, especially when he heard that Linglong was a girl with long black hair and wearing a school uniform. It sounded like he wanted to get out of the screen immediately to find out what was going on.

But with the sound of "click", the other end of the phone fell into a brief silence.

Duan Mingyuan seemed to hear the "woooo" sound, but it was getting farther and farther away from the microphone. After a minute, Caidie's voice came over, "The Third Prince has some official business to deal with, so it's inconvenient to speak now. As for whether to accept the crew, it's up to you, Mr. Mingyuan."

The phone hangs up.

The third prince ultimately failed to see the girl in school uniform with long black hair that he had been dreaming of.

Silence spread in the small space. It was unknown how long it took before Linglong broke the silence.

"what are they doing?"

The red eyes are innocent and have not been polluted by the world.

She knew that the captain of the Ranger was the third prince of the court and one of the most prominent people on Blue Star, but this brief first impression left her a little confused.

The third prince seemed to have been hit by something.

The mouth was still blocked.

It sounds like an intrusion is underway.

Linglong asked with concern, "Is he okay? Does he need us to call the police for him?"

"He's fine."

Duan Mingyuan said, feeling that he had been a little inconsiderate.

It's late at night, time to rest.

Rest time is often free, and the Third Prince is freer than anyone else on the planet. However, it was his phone call that disturbed the Third Prince's entertainment.

"Now that the captain has spoken, you are now considered a member of the Ranger. Don't live in a place like this."

Duan Mingyuan spoke, glancing at his phone.

The "rest reminder assistant" at home was very dissatisfied with him for going out to work late at night without sleeping, and sent him several unread messages.

As the deputy captain, he handed the task to Tang Qianqian, the logistics staff, and said, "You will arrange a room for her and take her to familiarize herself with the facilities on the Ranger."

After Duan Mingyuan left, only Tang Qianqian, Lihua and Linglong were left on the Ranger.

After confirming that there was no evil spirit on the Ranger, Tang Qianqian felt much more at ease. Looking at the bright side, having a girl with long black hair on board was better than having a hideous monster.

Although Tang Qianqian didn't understand why Duan Mingyuan left Linglong on the Ranger, as the saying goes on the Internet, don't question, believe first.

The senior is a visionary and many of the decisions he makes may not be understood until much later.

She took the initiative to bring up the topic, "What's the matter with that secret door? Are you also a user of special abilities?"

"No, it's this."

Linglong took out a rolled-up piece of paper from the pocket of her school uniform, spread it out, and drew a door on the paper with simple strokes. "It's called the Anywhere Door, and it's a prop on the Mechanical Planet."

As she spoke, she pasted a piece of white paper on the wall of the corridor. When she removed the paper, a door that had not been there before suddenly appeared on the wall.

Tang Qianqian's eyes widened immediately. She put her arm forward and walked straight through the opened door.

Linglong took out a compass and a fountain pen from her pocket in front of her. "If there is no space on the other side of the door, these tools will be used. The reclamation instrument can open up a small area... Although the people on the Mechanical Star do not have life energy and strange magic, they are ingenious and have created many incredible tools."

Tang Qianqian looked at Linglong and the pocket around her waist.

Obviously, the thin-looking school uniform pockets were not enough to hold so many things.

"Is your pocket also...?"

"Well, it's called a space compression bag, and it actually has about three cubic meters of storage space."

"I understand, I totally understand!"

Tang Qianqian stood still and excitedly announced to the world, "Doraemon is real!"
