At the same time, he was also very much looking forward to it. If this task was really a traditional love story, he would say that he would help out. As long as the person who issued the task and the person he loved were truly in love, and they were not scumbags and did not play with each other's feelings, Pei Guang would say that he would help out.
From childhood to adulthood, whether in stories or games, there are too many such unrequited love stories. Now that he has the choice to change the plot and not let the two of them be together, Pei Guang feels that this game is played in vain.
If I really complete the game one day, I will think back to how I was able to completely change the plot, and I will even give myself two chicken legs when I eat as a reward.
Xing: "What are you waiting for? Let's go! Come on, I'll send him a message and let us help him contact his girlfriend. Hehe~"
Chapter 187: Wasteful Use of Star Destroyers
In the main control module, Pei Guang and his team found Rocky who was sending messages to Xing. As a clerk at the Black Tower Space Station, he was not doing any research at the moment, but was looking carefully at the poem he had written.
Beside him, an old man was hunched over, looking at the happy Rocky with a complicated expression. Seeing this scene, three people walked over.
The old man named Bernard was still mumbling and did not notice Pei Guang and his group coming over. When Pei Guang and his group came over, they happened to hear his mumbling.
"This brat is messing with his broken stone again. He really doesn't know where his future lies! If he continues like this, don't blame other departments for looking down on our Department of Geology. How can we achieve anything if we are so decadent? Alas, love between men and women, romance, is simply an obstacle on the road to scientific research and knowledge."
Pei Guang and his team came here happily to take on the task, but after listening to the words of the old man named Bernard, Pei Guang asked curiously: "Oh? Why do other departments look down on your Department of Earth Science?"
Pei Guang originally thought that this was a simple relationship-related task, but he didn't expect that he would ask about the follow-up.
Bernard wanted to curse when he heard the question, but his eyes widened when he saw that the person coming was Pei Guang. When the antimatter army invaded, Pei Guang had done him some favors, and there were several girls and boys in his department who were helped by him.
At the same time, he was also an important guest of the Black Tower. When he heard Pei Guang's question, he explained directly: "This space station has the stupidest rule, which is to divide the talent department into rigid departments."
"The second stupidest rule is a hidden rule: different departments are divided into high and low, noble and humble, and people who are eloquent are respected, while those who are silent and devoted to research are called old-fashioned and useless. This is the part of the space station that needs to be changed the most. Alas, I am an old man, and I am not capable of making any changes. To be honest, it is still the young people who have to work hard on their own."
Bernard's words made Pei Guang curious: "Why do we have to divide scientific research into different levels? If I remember correctly, the background setting of this space station is that you, the staff, are all geniuses. Although not as outrageous as the Black Tower, you are all the best geniuses on your own planet, right?"
Hearing this, Bernard sighed even more: "One of the best? Many people are the most talented ones on their respective planets, but so what? Coming here, if you choose the wrong direction, you will end up being just like everyone else!"
Pei Guang: "Tsk, your space station has a lot of problems. Although I am not a scientific researcher, I know that many projects look ordinary, but they are very useful. Let's not talk about anything else. Just to make a planet that looks habitable become a truly habitable planet, it will take a huge amount of time and scientific researchers."
Pei Guang has played various business simulation games and has a deep understanding of this kind of thing. For some things, you just need to find the right person to do them so that they can do them clearly and well for you.
Thinking of this, Pei Guang suddenly became interested: "Since there is no room for development here, do you want to join me? I just got an entire galaxy that is habitable and rich in resources from Estelle. Although I have never been there, I think since it is a reward from Estelle's favor, it must be great. I need people to help explore a galaxy, and I think it would be perfect to get a few researchers from here!"
Pei Guang's words stunned Bernard. Not only Bernard, but also Sanyueqi asked worriedly: "Ah Guang, this is not good, although we have accepted the mission of the Black Tower, but it is not good to poach people here so openly, right?"
Pei Guang pondered and said, "Now that you mention it, poaching is indeed not appropriate. They give us fun and mission rewards. It is indeed not appropriate to poach them directly. What if their favorability drops a little? It will be troublesome. How about this, I will contact Black Tower~"
Pei Guang took out his phone and sent a message to Heita. After receiving the message, Heita glanced at it and replied to Pei Guang: "Whatever."
Black Tower didn't care about this at all. As long as Pei Guang was willing to test her simulated universe, she would pack up the entire Black Tower space station and give it to him. Of course, Black Tower would not give all of them to Pei Guang. For a reliable and serious little girl like Esta, Black Tower would definitely keep her.
What? The research results of these staff members? To be honest, Black Tower doesn't care about them at all.
The gap between a genius and an ordinary person is like the gap between a human and a dog. The gap between geniuses at the Black Tower's level and ordinary geniuses is like the gap between humans and single cells. Naturally, the Black Tower will not care about the research results of these researchers.
However, although Heita was proud and outspoken, she might intentionally or unintentionally leave behind some manuscripts. As for how to deal with the manuscripts, that was not her business.
Pei Guang received a reply from Heita and nodded: "Okay, Heita said it's up to you."
Xing: "It's fine, you can do whatever you want, that means she allows it."
March 7: "It's settled. I don't know what to say, but I know it's settled."
Bernard was silent as he looked at the three people in front of him. After a long silence, he decided to change the subject: "Everyone, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Pei Guang slapped his head at this sentence: "Hey! I almost forgot the mission. It's like this. I received a mission from a member named Rocky. We are here to help him make peace with Lily."
Bernard was stunned by this sentence: "Reconcile? Do you think Rocky can be with Leslie? Dream on, a toad wants to eat swan meat. Maybe there are too many rumors about this girl, causing everyone to forget a key fact!"
This girl named Leslie is a genius among geniuses in the space station. According to Bernard's description, if Leslie is a genius that is rare in a century, then Bernard is a clerk that can be found everywhere. In his opinion, these two people cannot be together at all.
As to whether he really doesn't think highly of these two people or there is some other hidden reason, that is another matter.
Bernard talked about the gap between the two people, while Rocky behind him completely ignored the old man's words. Being able to work in the Black Tower Space Station, and in such a discriminated department, Rocky had a big heart and he didn't care about the opinions of outsiders.
Bernard's description ended, and after saying this, Bernard sighed: "Alas, it is really unfortunate for my master. You are all young people. Please help me persuade my stupid apprentice."
After listening to Bernard's description, March Seven asked in confusion: "Persuade? Why persuade? It is everyone's freedom to pursue beauty. As long as he doesn't disturb that person and doesn't pester that person when he refuses, I think it's a good thing to have expectations!"
As soon as March Seventh said this, Rocky, who had ignored his master Bernard, looked at March Seventh at this moment. There was a gleam in his eyes, and this gleam was the excitement of hearing someone recognize him.
"Girl, you are right, Leslie is simply the most beautiful thing in my life!!!"
Bernard interrupted, "Oh, Leslie is a star staff member of the [Black Tower Guangyuan Secret Scroll Department], and the only visiting scholar to the Fertile Star Region in the last Amber Age. How could she have time to deal with you?"
Rocky retorted directly, "Of course she has time to talk to me! Since she left, we have been in intermittent contact with the galactic radio wave repeater. Even though she is tens of thousands of light years away, she will not ignore me. She didn't reply on time, it must be just because of the special circumstances this time. I wrote a letter to her and confessed my feelings. It's not like usual, telling her how many kinds of stones and mud there are in the Earth Science Department."
As soon as these words came out, Xing's eyes widened and Sanyueqi also opened his mouth.
March 7: "Wait? When you were chatting with her, all you talked about was rocks and mud?"
Rocky nodded and said, "Yes! I just don't understand why Leslie suddenly ignored me after I confessed my feelings. We talked about a lot, from which of the 101 Star God secret rituals in the Secret Scroll Department require the use of Gunn's beard, to how to use the star survey drill to match the soil and rocks, so as to judge the prosperity or decline of a Star God's followers by the quality of the soil."
Rocky's voice sounded a little lonely when he said this. Before the confession, he and Leslie never had awkward conversations, but really communicated about what they were interested in. At the same time, before Leslie left, he also gave her a gift, and Leslie liked the gift very much.
He was prepared for his confession to be rejected, but after confessing, he did not receive any consent or rejection, and he even had no signal, which made him wonder if there was something wrong with the equipment.
Pei Guang listened with great interest, while Xing asked in a low voice: "Who talks about mud with a girl..."
This made Rocky look dissatisfied. "Mud... What's wrong with mud? Even chatting with Leslie about mud is quite interesting. What's more, in the communication before I confessed my love, she also described a magnificent starquake to me. Think about it, that was the demise of a star. Others would not have time to hide, but my Lily not only obtained first-hand observation data, but also saved a hitchhiker who escaped death. You don't know how happy her tone was in this reply letter. Even the signal of the repeater was so happy."
Pei Guang interrupted Rocky and said, "I see. You want me to help you restore the communication with that girl, right? You want to know whether she agrees or refuses?"
Rocky: "Yes, I would like you to help me restore the communication so that I can contact Lily!"
Bernard was about to speak out to stop him, but Pei Guang gestured to Xing and Sanyueqi: "Xing, Qi'er, come and tell this old man to stop talking. According to traditional skills, this old man must be the guy who broke up the couple. Even if he is not the one who broke up the couple, this guy must know something and may even hinder us from completing the mission. Before he hinders us from completing the mission, kill him first."
Xing: "Okay, my bat is thirsty."
After beating the guy, Xing felt that he was very good at it. He took out the baseball bat with a proud look on his face and looked at Bernard in front of him.
San Yue Qi stretched out his hand and flicked Xing's head fiercely: "What are you thinking? Guang's words definitely don't mean to kill him!"
Pei Guang: "Qi Er is right!"
Xing didn't know whether what March Seven said was right or not, but she was sure that when Pei Guang said he did it, he didn't care about the person's life or death at all. However, after March Seven finished speaking, Pei Guang's tone returned to normal.
Something is wrong! Something is very wrong.
Xing suddenly remembered that many of Pei Guang's words on the road to facing the Lord of Extinction were simple words without any joy or sadness, but when he and San Yueqi interrupted him, Pei Guang's words returned to normal.
However, Xing did not think much about it, but followed Pei Guang's words and asked the old man to keep silent for the time being.
How to keep silent? Of course, it is the coffee obtained from here. This sleepy coffee is so useful that Xing can't let it go.
Bernard fell asleep, and Xi Peiguang asked Rocky, "I can do your job, but as the saying goes, you have to take money from others and help them get rid of disasters. I will help you restore the communication, what can you give me?"
This question stumped Rocky. Pei Guang's previous behavior in the space station made him realize that Pei Guang was not the kind of person who valued money. Asking Pei Guang for help was very mysterious. Some people would succeed and some would fail. At the same time, giving Pei Guang the task reward was also very mysterious. Some were valuable and some were worthless. But Rocky believed that Pei Guang, who had helped many clerks and saved many people, must care about his attitude.
What can I give to the other party? The poem for Lily? I can show it to Pei Guang, but I can't give it to Pei Guang! That's for Lily. What else can I give?
Thinking of this, Rocky suddenly spoke excitedly: "Yes, if we get married in the future, I will invite you to be our best man and bridesmaid, okay?"
Pei Guang: "No problem. If you fail, I don't ask for much. Just let us beat you up."
Rocky said frankly: "No problem! It's like this, I suspect that it's because the repeater is damaged that I can't receive her message. Can you please help me fix the repeater?"
It was just a beating, it didn't matter, and he believed that Leslie would not reject him.
Because his confession was not a charge. At the same time, his communication with Leslie was also about each other's interests, hobbies, little emotions, and importance they attached to each other.
Rocky thought he had a low emotional intelligence, but he was still confident that his confession would be successful. Even if it didn't work... the other party wouldn't ignore him.
Sanyueqi was ready to go: "I understand. Our mission is to repair the repeater. Hey? Is this what Guang always said, repairing the fuse? It's just a different form of expression?"
Pei Guang nodded: "Of course, but! For something like this, it would be a waste of our resources if we just repaired it honestly!"
Xing: "Oh? Guang, what's your trick?"
Pei Guang: "Of course, since it is a signal transmission, there must be data stored. Since there is data stored..."
March 7: "Then we can get the data directly! No need to waste time repairing them."
Pei Guang: "That's right! It seems that you have mastered the essence of my skipping routine. If it were a normal game, there would definitely be a fixed plot for us to run, and at most we would be given a few options that might affect the future, but now..."
Pei Guang proudly took out his cell phone and called Silver Wolf. At the same time, Silver Wolf, who had escorted Kafka and Blade out of the fairy boat and was preparing to find a good place to play games, answered the call from Pei Guang.
"A Guang? What's wrong?"
Pei Guang: "I'll make it short..."
Pei Guang told Silver Wolf the whole story, and upon hearing the mission, Silver Wolf teleported directly to Pei Guang and his group.
Arriving at the Black Tower Space Station, he chewed bubble gum and tapped the screen projected into the air with both hands: "It's really unfair. Why do you always get these interesting-sounding missions, but I can only take on boring and repetitive fighting missions?"
After hearing the description of the task that Pei Guang accepted, Silver Wolf instantly became interested. As a player, Silver Wolf thought of many possibilities.
Of course, she had taken similar tasks before, but they were nothing more than stories about scumbags and bootlickers, which were not even stories. But this time it was Pei Guang and his team who took the task, and Silver Wolf felt that after all these years, she could finally get a reliable love story.
She doesn't mind clichés. No matter how clichéd it is, it's just a way of breaking up a couple. She just wants to see such a pure love story in real life.
Seeing the silver wolf suddenly appear, Rocky was stunned for a moment: "Who is this?"
Pei Guang: "Don't talk. How about the person who completed your task, Silver Wolf? Can you find the data?"
Silver Wolf snorted coldly: "Humph! You underestimate my skills. It's just this level. I..."
Silver Wolf had already obtained the key data at this moment, but when Black Tower obtained the data, she paused and turned to look at Pei Guang: "A Guang... this mission is a bit special..."
Pei Guang: "What's the special method?"
Silver Wolf looked at the information he had obtained, sighed, and then sent the data to Pei Guang's mobile phone.
Looking at this information, Pei Guang looked at Rocky without thinking: "Brother, I have good news for you."
Rocky: "Did you find the message Lily sent me?"
Pei Guang nodded: "I found it. By the way, I have good news for you. She agreed to your confession. Well, don't doubt the accuracy of the information. This is the information that Silver Wolf helped you get directly. However, there is also bad news. That is, what happened to your lover caused a time distortion. Maybe one month has passed for her, but ten, twenty, or even a lifetime may have passed for you."
Looking at the information Pei Guang found for him and listening to Pei Guang's words, Rocky was stunned. He felt as if his head was filled with red earth and crackling.
Is the information given by Pei Guang true? He believed that what Pei Guang gave was true, because Pei Guang called the famous Silver Wolf, and he really took out what he thought was the best reward. Pei Guang accepted the task and would definitely complete it, so the information given by Pei Guang was definitely true.
But if it’s true…
Rocky looked at the message in Pei Guang's mobile phone. At the same time, Xing and San Yueqi also received the summary and generalization of the message from Yinlang. Looking at this message, Xing and San Yueqi also fell silent.
After a long silence, San Yue Qi said, "Can it be understood this way? A week has passed for the girl, but several years or even decades have passed for this guy? The girl agreed to his confession, and they..."
At this point, San Yue Qi fell silent. She thought that Xing Jie was following the common routine of traditional romance novels, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
Pei Guang: "One day in heaven is one year on earth. We are separated by heaven and earth. We may never meet again in this life."
Xing: "So this is a...tragic story? It's the knife you always mentioned, right? This feeling is so uncomfortable. I accepted the mission, but I can't do anything. It's so unpleasant."
Silver Wolf: "Same..."
Originally, Silver Wolf came here with great enthusiasm, and she was even expecting to see a cliché but comforting happy ending story, but the result turned out to be like this?
Rocky was still silent. As a staff member of the Black Tower Space Station, he understood the meaning of this sentence at that moment.
Rocky took a deep breath and said, "So... is that so? The long time I missed her was just an insignificant moment to her. I never expected that even time would be unfair to people..."
Rocky's tone was very heavy, and from his voice, one could tell how much of a blow this incident had dealt him.
After a long silence, his tone changed, becoming unusually resolute and firm.
"Spending a lifetime waiting for someone, enduring endless longing and loneliness..."
"Honestly, man, you don't think I'm that naive, do you?"
"Haha! Of course I won't wait for her! I won't wait."
"I won't wait..."
At this moment, Xing, March Seven and Silver Wolf were silent, while Pei Guang felt something different. He felt that the mission seemed not yet completed.
Just as Pei Guang expected, Rocky's tone and eyes were full of determination and resoluteness: "I'm going to chase her. I'm going to catch up with time."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was infected by Rocky's tone and determination, but Pei Guang asked calmly: "Oh? Catch up with time? Have you decided? The universe is full of dangers, especially the place you are going to, which has just experienced a major crisis. Your trip..."
Rocky smiled. "Maybe. There are unknown dangers, but also magnificent and lonely wonders, and the person I've been asking about... When I find Leslie, one day I'll come back and tell you everything I've seen on this journey. I'm sorry, I can't give you the reward for the mission, so please beat me up."
Rocky's tone was full of apology, while Pei Guang frowned and said, "Ah? We haven't completed your mission either~ NPC, please don't forget that your mission is for us to help you restore communications and contact your lover. The main task is to help you contact your lover, and repairing the repeater is just to help you contact your lover, but now you haven't contacted her, so the mission is not yet completed."
Rocky: “Huh?”
Rocky didn't understand what Pei Guang meant, and Pei Guang put his hand on Rocky and smiled: "My lovely NPC, please prepare the mission reward."
Rocky said firmly: "I..."
Rocky thought that Pei Guang was asking him whether he was ready, because if this trip achieved the results he expected, it would be like a miracle.
