Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　Realizing that Cong Yu and the others probably weren't there to buy translators, he immediately lost interest, shaking his head and asking, "Who are you looking for?"

　Perhaps because the voice came through the mask, it sounded somewhat muffled and indistinct, but you could still tell it was a woman.

　In response to the other party's words, Cong Yu immediately said, "We need a guide... not a local guide."

　"We are a civilization just beginning the interstellar age and are looking for a guide with relevant experience to help us quickly understand the space age... Is this a shop that provides guide services?"

　The female alien realized she had been given a chance to be guided, so she perked up a little. She pointed to the street and said, "In fact, all the shops on this street can provide guided tours... including me."

　As he said this, the alien coughed lightly and introduced himself: "Ahem, you can call me Doctor, I am the shop owner here."

　Cong Yu: "..."

　Yao Chuanguang: "..."

　Blue Sky Nagisa: "..."

　Xiao Cui: "..."

　Cong Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked the "doctor" in front of her, "Excuse me, do you have any other nicknames? Or your real name?"

　Slightly apologetic, Cong Yu wasn't sure if she should laugh out loud: "Because we also know someone nicknamed (Doctor)."

　of. ”

　Ah, that's really rare.

　“Then you can just call me Aria… How interesting.”

　Arya then got straight to the point and started discussing the guide: "Should we hire me? I've been a guide for over ten (cosmic years)... I consider myself quite professional, even though I used to be an archaeologist."

　The very familiar word "archaeology" caused everyone to fall into silent contemplation... Why is it that someone is calling themselves an archaeologist again?

　Does "archaeology" in the interstellar age equate to tomb raiding?

　Cong Yu was also a little tense, but he still maintained a serious conversation: "What about the price? How much do you charge?"

　Arya responded casually, saying, "80000 credits is a cosmic year. I can help with most things, and I can offer advice on things that can't be handled for me."

　"If I haven't made any mistakes, I don't support early dismissal. But I can pay off the debt within a decade of a universe."

　In the interstellar era, most guides will accept credit. After all, those with credits are usually established civilizations that don't need guides.

　Cong Yu wasn't sure if the price was reasonable, but he had neither the inclination nor the interest to compare prices from different vendors.

　Anyway, I'll end up getting scammed...

　The one who should be afraid is someone else.

　Cong Yu nodded nonchalantly and said, "That's it, Arya... So, what's the hiring process?"

　Aria's gaze was somewhat strange as she observed Cong Yu's complete disregard for truth and falsehood, and even his lack of embarrassment at displaying ignorance.

　They really are a very easygoing race...

　On Arya's home planet, there is a creature called the Water Rat, which is large in size but has a very good temper, being easygoing and lazy.

　At this moment, Ailiya felt that Congyu's civilization was very similar to an intelligent life form, the water rat...

　Perhaps it was through charm, befriending, and harmonious cooperation with other races that they successfully reached the stars.

　Such a civilization would be quite dangerous in the space age.

　I feel there's a possibility I've been scammed and am completely disoriented.

　Well... this is the time for the guide to step in.

　As Aria considered this, she added Cong Yu as a friend and said, "You can just sign on the terminal."

　"Actually, 80000 is not a low price. Other stores may only charge 4 to 6, but I guarantee that it is worth the money."

　Despite Aria's confident assurance, Cong Yu's expression remained completely unchanged: "Well, I don't really care."

　After Cong Yu said that, Yao Chuan Guang, as a mother who likes to save money... cough cough, anyway, felt a bit cheated.

　However, Lan Tianzhu and Xiao Cui stopped her from saying anything.

　Whether it's the more pragmatic Lan Tianzhu or the seemingly innocent but actually cunning Xiao Cui, they both know why Cong Yu doesn't care at all.

　What about this money...?

　If it's a good deal, then it is; but if it's not... then the other party should be the one to worry.

　However, Aria, unaware of all this, simply felt that the other civilization was incredibly harmonious and friendly.

　"Okay, how should we address the employers?"

　Arya asked, looking at these excessively beautiful employers, "Your civilization... your looks and figures are just too outstanding."

　I feel like I hear similar things all the time...

　However, Cong Yu, who came from the future, could empathize with this as well... People in the future look quite normal.

　Some were ugly, some were beautiful, and some were ordinary; their hair colors were all normal.

　Even celebrities with outstanding looks only barely reach the average level of this era... Bai Leliu is an example of this.

　The same principle probably applies to the interstellar era...

　what……

　How is Bai Leliu doing?

　Chapter 920 Classic Developmental Path

　In the interstellar age, how will people make money?

　Actually, it can be divided into two types: one is doing business, and the other is working for others... These can be further subdivided into many categories.

　As a guide, Arya certainly knows a lot.

　He explained the feasible options to Cong Yu and the others in detail, even revealing the "sex trade".

　After all, Cong Yu and his people have a significant advantage in civilization.

　No, to be precise, it's Cong Yu's personal advantages that are dazzling... If we were to say that this employer's sidekick is a 95 out of 100.

　So, this employer himself would probably score 101 points...

　But in the end, Cong Yu rejected him.

　He still doesn't think he's capable of accepting all sorts of bizarre female aliens... mainly because he can't choose his own clients.

　That's terrifying. If he encountered a flesh mountain alien, he would just self-destruct.

　"Since you say you don't have anything to sell, how about mentioning some of your civilization's... talents?"

　As Aria said this, she probably thought that Cong Yu and Yao Chuan Guang's race was beautiful, cute, and kind, which led to some kind of misunderstanding.

　There seem to be quite a few misunderstandings and errors in this understanding.

　Just as it's hard for people to imagine that lions and other ferocious beasts kill far fewer people each year than koalas.

　Aria couldn't imagine that the civilization Cong Yu belonged to would be filled with monsters who could dismantle Gundams with their bare hands and whose members were all Space Marines.

　So she

　The text uses the word "talent," suggesting that Cong Yu and his group must be from a civilized society that is good at singing and dancing.

　Cong Yu pondered for a moment before speaking, "As for talents, we'll... set off fireworks."

　Before Yao Chuanguang and Xiao Cui could react, Lan Tianzhu, the most powerful and explosive person in the modern era, couldn't hold back any longer—

　"Pfft-"

　"..." However, when everyone looked at Lan Tianzhu, her expression had already returned to calm, as if nothing had ever changed.

　Aria, unaware that Cong Yu and Lan Tianzhu's understanding of "setting off fireworks" had two layers of meaning, tilted her head, which was covered by a bird-beak mask: "Making fireworks? That should be a very common technique..."

　After all, fireworks are a derivative of gunpowder, and the principle behind them is not complicated.

　Is setting off fireworks by hand considered a talent?

　As she spoke, Cong Yu demonstrated how beautiful flames could emanate from her fingers... Unfortunately, this was not accepted by Aria.

　"I'm really curious how you did it..."

　As Aria said this, she shook her head, using gestures to indicate that it wouldn't work: "In the Star Sea, this level of talent isn't enough to make money... Do you have a 'livestreaming' job where you are?"

　Of course, there are such things, and Cong Yu can easily consult Miss Chi You about them.

　But Cong Yu didn't want to make money as a video blogger; he knew how difficult such work would be given the sheer number of people.

　Ah, that makes things more difficult.

　While one could become a space mercenary or easily traverse the void to conduct "archaeological" missions, it's quite troublesome.

　Isn't there a quick way to make money?

　Are there any assassin organizations or anything like that?

　As she said this, Cong Yu yawned and asked Ailiya, then suggested, "Yawn - I feel like we could be assassins."

　Aria: "???"

　Hearing Cong Yu's words, Yao Chuan Guang immediately became interested: "Are there any security companies? Security is our old profession—"

　Lan Tianzhu immediately voiced her opinion, her thought being the most direct: "Why not just find a rich, heartless person and kill them?"

　Aaliyah: “!!!”

　Arya hesitated slightly, somewhat doubting her previous judgment. However, she quickly concluded that these people were just being naive.

　It's the kind of situation where people don't understand that being a killer isn't just for fun.

　"Assassin organizations and security civilizations do exist. However, I have no connections to them, and they don't exist on this planet either."

　To Aria's words, Lan Tianzhu immediately responded with a calm expression and a disdainful look: "It's clearly very expensive."

　Aria: "..."

　No, in the end, she was just a guide.

　……

　Just as everyone was starting to think about how to make money, Xiao Cui suddenly spoke up: "Is there a casino? I want to gamble."

　Arya didn't take what this child, who was clearly in the "juvenile form of the race," to heart.

　"Yes, there are some in the city, but they're gambling dens."

　As Aria said this, she didn't think they had any talent for gambling: "But you don't have any capital..."

　"Do you guys know any cheating methods that no one can detect? Like switching cards at lightning speed or using air currents to control the direction of the dice?"

　Even extraterrestrial civilizations play cards, and their sophisticated system uses decimal cards... except they don't have letter cards or jokers.

　It consists of six playing cards numbered 1-9, similar to the concept of "suits," meaning that "5" becomes the median.

　There are many variations of card games, and besides card games, there are also dice games... Various numbers of 100-sided dice have led to a wide variety of games.

　"..."

　"..." For some reason, all four employers fell silent at the same time. She opened her mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"

　Upon hearing her words, Cong Yu glanced at Xiao Cui, then at Ailiya: "Do you feel it? Like being enveloped by something."

　What does it feel like?

　What are they talking about?

　Arya shook her head in confusion, indicating that she couldn't understand what these employers were saying at all...

　The group of people then showed expressions of understanding.

　Xiao Cui withdrew the magic that had enveloped the surroundings and nodded gently: "I am invincible."

　Cong Yu then spoke at just the right moment, saying, "We can release a special... bio-force field."

　"This biofield can replace our race's senses. So it's natural that we can see the cards in other people's hands."

　Aaliyah: “!!!”

　Holy crap! You guys are unbeatable!

　Aria, whose pupils dilated wildly, was unsure whether what the others were saying was true or false, but she still said, "Is it true? But if it's an electronic wave or a magnetic field... my terminal doesn't show it."

　Can it fool the terminal's detection?
