Interstellar Super Empire

Chapter 273 Liberty

A huge spaceship sailed alone in the vast universe.

This is a luxury cruise ship named "Liberty".Coming from the only advanced civilized country in Star Region A, the passengers on it are either rich or expensive.The destination of this trip is the Red Feather Federation located in the H Star Territory.

Although the "Liberty" is only a cruise ship, its level is "superplanetary level", its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of "superplanetary level" warships, and it is not afraid of any pirates.

As a cruise ship exclusively for advanced civilization, it is recognized and protected by all advanced civilization countries.Therefore, as long as you don't encounter a cosmic disaster, there is basically no danger.

The banquet is a very important social place in the upper class.We meet friends here, exchange information with colleagues, and talk about current affairs.

This is a place of opportunity for anyone.

On the "Liberty", a banquet is held every few days to provide a platform for the passengers on board to communicate.

Although the Liberty is extremely large, there are not many real passengers on it. There are more than 1000 dignitaries with profound backgrounds and tens of thousands of their followers.

On this day, another banquet was held on the Liberty, hosted by a Duke.Naturally, a banquet cannot be without a host. These big shots have a tacit understanding and take turns hosting it.

The banquet hall is magnificently decorated, the golden tones make the whole hall look solemn, and the appropriate melodious music makes the atmosphere of the banquet relaxed and joyful.

People in twos and threes all over the hall were talking in low voices, and occasionally there was a burst of laughter.Well-dressed maids shuttled through the crowd with wine trays, refilling wine for the guests.

In the corner of the hall, there was a rather uncoordinated person standing there alone, looking at the people around him coldly, as if he was examining these big men.

He was holding a wine glass with a golden liquid in it, and he shook the glass gently with an elegant posture.Although he stood there alone, he didn't look obtrusive.There is always a faint smile on his face, which is just right for people to keep a distance from him consciously without appearing inaccessible.

After a long time, he looked away and fell into deep thought.

After a while, his face moved.Immediately afterwards, a hand was put on his shoulder, and a frivolous voice sounded in his ear, "How about it, Xiaoyu. I didn't bring you to the wrong place. This is where the real beauty is like a cloud. I just saw your eyes dazed. Take a look, is there anything you agree with? Just ask, I'll help you out."

The young man named Xiao Yu glanced at the speaker, took a sip of his wine and ignored him.

The one who spoke was a young man who was about the same age as Xiao Yu. He was very handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were fluttering, which seemed out of place with the whole banquet.

"It's really cold." The young man had long been accustomed to his attitude and didn't take it seriously.He rolled his eyes and said, "How do you think about what I told you last time?"

"Xiaoyu" still didn't speak, as if she didn't hear what he said.

The young man did not give up, and said, "Boss, you see that you are so handsome and handsome, but you use such a sissy mecha, which damages your image of being wise and powerful. Why don't you give her to me? I have a mecha 'Lie Yan', driving out, is definitely full of masculinity, and you are really a perfect match."

Xiao Yu glanced at him helplessly, knowing that if he didn't speak again, he could chatter on and on for an hour. "You want to give it to that girl. She is not strong enough, and she can't drive it even if you give it to her."

The young man smiled, "Boss is really astute. Although she can't open it now, you can keep it for later. Her birthday is coming soon. Boss, please do me a favor and help me this time."

Xiaoyu shook his head, and then a maid passed by. He put the wine glass on the plate and walked to the table with food next to it.

The young man quickly followed, "Boss, um, the price is negotiable. How about 'Fire Flame' plus one hundred rough stones?"

Xiao Yu suddenly stopped and looked back at him suddenly, with strange eyes.

The young man twitched uncommonly, and said awkwardly, "I know, one hundred rough stones are a little short, but I don't have much money recently. Well, as long as you are willing to change, everything is negotiable."

Xiao Yu continued to walk forward, and when he reached the table full of food, a waiter standing there respectfully handed over a small plate, knife and fork.

Shaking his hand refused the waiter's help, he cut off a piece of meat with a knife, put it on the plate, cut into small pieces of meat, took a piece with a fork, and put it into his mouth.

The young man next to him enthusiastically handed over a glass of wine. Xiaoyu glanced at him and saw a flattering smile on his face. Although he was amused, he was very wary.This young man has a proud background, but he does his best to please himself.The city is truly unfathomable.

Xiaoyu finished eating the whole plate of diced meat slowly, and finally said, "That girl is worthy of your attention, she must have a difficult background."

The young man froze for a moment, nodded and said, "That's natural." He wondered if it was because of her background that he had already used his strength, so why should he put so much thought into it?
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "You have never pursued girls seriously, have you?"

The ingratiating smile on the young man's face was put away, and he touched his chin with his hand. A strange light flashed in his eyes. Although it was only fleeting, it was caught by Xiao Yu.

The young man nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Yu continued, "Given your status, if you like any woman, as long as you show the slightest intention, those women will automatically crawl into your bed. Whether it is voluntary or arranged by the people around you."

The young man was really stunned. In retrospect, it was indeed the case.

"It's too easy to get, but you lose a lot of fun between men and women." Xiao Yu chuckled, "You rely too much on using your own power to get what you want. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. This is your advantage. You If you don’t use it, there is something wrong with your brain. However, the result of relying too much is: when your power loses its effect, you start to go blind.”

The young man smiled wryly, "You're right."

Xiao Yu gave him a meaningful look, this was the first time he showed real emotion.

"The power behind that girl is at least equal to yours, so you can only pursue it in the normal way." Xiao Yu cut off a piece of meat again, and carefully cut it into small pieces.

But the young man looked at him again with a scrutinizing gaze, thinking about his intention of turning the words.

"Unfortunately, you used the wrong method." Xiao Yu asked the waiter for a bottle of sauce, poured it on the diced meat, and said.

"That girl is indeed very beautiful, tsk, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Xiao Yu recalled the thrilling feeling of shock when she saw that girl. She still can't believe that there is such a beautiful woman in this world. people.

When the waiter heard their conversation, the friendly smile on his face suddenly stopped, and his eyes became a little wandering.

Xiao Yu glanced at him inadvertently, "A woman like her, I want to impress her with a gift..." He chuckled and didn't say any more.

The young man let out a long sigh. He also knew that this chance was slim, but he had to try it because he couldn't find a better way.

"I know it too, but I won't give up even if I only have the slightest chance." The young man's eyes shined with blazing light, "I can't do anything else, but I still have some confidence. That blue mecha of yours is definitely a seven-star The best among mechas. Even more rare is, "

Seven stars?Xiao Yu smiled, but didn't explain. Xiao Yu shook her head, "No matter what, I won't give up 'Linglong' to you."

The young man's eyes narrowed, and there was a ray of coldness in those long and narrow eyes, which made people feel chills.Xiao Yu was vigilant, this was his true face.The arrogance he usually shows is just his mask.

Xiaoyu knew that her words had completely offended him. With a character like his, he would never give up until he achieved his goal.Although I am not afraid of him, I still need him for some things, so I can't just fall out with him.

"However, I can help you."

"Oh, how can I help?" A mocking smile flashed from the corner of the young man's mouth.He must get that mech, no matter what method he uses.Even if the other party said it to this extent, he would know it.Soft is no longer enough.

"Gift giving is very particular. It depends on the friendship between the two parties, the relationship between the two, and the purpose of giving the gift. Sometimes, giving too heavy a gift can backfire."

"Oh?" The young man became a little interested, and he wanted to see what Xiao Yu could figure out.Given his position, he naturally wouldn't think about how to give gifts to others all day long, because others would give them to him.Sometimes I also give some to my women, and they always choose expensive ones.

"How to choose a gift is a science. Take the relationship between men and women as an example, an ordinary girl can basically get it done if you spend money on it. But she is not short of money, and the expensive things she has seen are no more expensive than You are less."

"Presumably, she won't be the one who values ​​these things." The figure of the girl appeared again in front of Xiao Yu's eyes.After a pause, he added, "At this time, you have to do what you want. Only if you can send a gift to her heart can you truly impress her and make her look at you differently."

He glanced at the young man again, and said with a smile, "Of course, everyone understands this truth. The hard part is how to choose a gift that suits her."

Xiao Yu looked at the young man seriously, "Young Master Hong, you have helped me a lot during this time. Even if I don't know how to compliment me, I know how to repay you. This matter is all on my shoulders."

First Young Master Hong's eyes flickered, and he suddenly laughed, his face regained that flying temperament again, "Leave this matter to you, Boss, I don't worry."

Xiao Yu chuckled, a little admiring the quick change in his face.

This Xiaoyu is naturally the newly-baked emperor of the Galaxy Empire, Zhong Yun.He changed his identity and changed his name to Yun Zhongyu.After leaving the Galactic Empire, he happened to rescue the young master Hong from the pirates in the Wushi galaxy.

After seeing Zhong Yun's strength, Young Master Hong tried every means to win him over.Zhong Yun just needed an aboveboard identity, and they hit it off right away, and the two came together.

Young Master Hong has a strong background. This time, on behalf of the family, he went to the Federation to discuss a business deal.Unexpectedly, on the way back home, he was robbed by pirates.

He dragged Zhong Yun to the "Liberty" desperately, and Zhong Yun had to rely on him to cover up his identity, so he had no choice but to follow.

From Young Master Hong's mouth, Zhong Yun learned about the recent situation outside. The wars initiated by advanced civilizations in various galaxies have come to an end.There are a few intermediate-level civilized countries that have escaped the fate of national annihilation.

Zhong Yun guessed that the power of these advanced civilized countries had expanded to its limit and they could no longer take advantage of it.Only then will the pace of expansion stop.

In any case, the current cosmic civilization has temporarily entered a period of peace.

But Zhong Yun knew that this was just the prelude to a bigger storm, and when the time came, a bigger war would break out, and by then, the war would sweep the entire universe.Because it was a war between advanced civilizations.

At the same time, exchanges between advanced civilized countries have become more frequent.Zhong Yun guessed from Hong Dashao's words that they wanted to form an alliance with the Federation.Because the two countries are too far apart, there is no actual conflict of interest.

Make friends at a distance and attack at close range.Throughout the advanced civilization, the lobbyists were dispatched one after another, and they began to join forces.

After understanding the general situation of the civilization universe, one of Zhong Yun's missions was completed.

When he came out this time, he wanted to understand the situation outside and not let himself become a blind man.The biggest purpose is to get some rough stones.

He has a lot of valuable things on hand, especially "Linglong" and "Guyan".But none of them can be taken out and sold, so we have to find another way.

He has inquired about the market, and the market price of a first-grade rough stone is [-] interstellar coins.The second grade and above are priceless.

Interstellar currency is a common currency among advanced civilizations, and it is linked to hard currency energy blocks. One interstellar currency is equal to one hundred units of energy.In other words, a first-grade rough stone is equivalent to 1000 million units of energy.

This means that Zhong Yun has to make a lot of money.

But there is a problem. In advanced civilized countries, surveillance is very strict. People without identity cannot enter these countries at all.

According to the normal way, if you want to become a citizen of a high-level civilized country, you must first undergo an assessment, not only intelligence, but also physical fitness must meet the standards.To become a prospective citizen of the country.

The probation period for preparing citizens is 20 years.Preparatory citizens are subject to various restrictions, such as being subject to strict surveillance and being unable to live in core areas.

These harsh conditions dispelled Zhong Yun's idea of ​​becoming a citizen of these countries.But if you don't have the status of a high-level civilized country, you can't enter a high-level civilized country at all.Now the middle-level civilized countries have basically been wiped out, and have become colonies of high-level civilizations.Wherever Zhong Yun went, he could only be a slave, which was even worse.

Therefore, he needs Young Master Hong, and with Young Master Hong's power, it is not difficult to give him an identity.Although he also has the status of a high-level civilized country now.But without Young Master Hong's protection, it would be impossible to enter the federation of the second stage of intermediate civilization.

He has to help Young Master Hong with this favor.Not only do we have to help, but we also have to do it beautifully.

After returning to the room, Major Hong gave him all the information he knew about the girl.

Zhong Yun browsed through the information and became more and more sure. Originally, he was only [-]% sure, but now he is [-]% sure. "Leave this to me."

Young Master Hong was very curious about what kind of tricks he had, so he asked repeatedly, seeing that he just smiled and said nothing, so he had no choice but to give up.Although he didn't quite believe in his heart that he could really find a gift that would impress that girl.But he didn't dare to turn his back on him directly. He absolutely didn't want to have an enmity with such a powerful mech master unless he had to.

The powerful strength that Zhong Yun showed when he rescued him left a deep impression on him.He secretly guessed that this person might be on par with Haiyue, the seventh-rank mecha master of the empire's younger generation.Solicit as much as you can.

Afterwards, Zhong Yun stayed in the room for ten consecutive days, and Young Master Hong ordered no one to disturb him.Although I was so curious to death, I held back and didn't look for him.

Ten days later, Zhong Yun finally left the room, and handed a small box to First Young Master Hong, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Young Master Hong was about to open it, Zhong Yun shook his hand and said, "This box is specially made, it will be destroyed if you take it apart."

Young Master Hong hesitated again and again and did not dismantle it.I just held it in my hand and turned it over.I was skeptical in my heart, just this thing, can impress that heavenly girl?

"What's in it? You have to find out for me." Young Master Hong couldn't bear it anymore and asked aloud.He was cautious by nature, he had never seen this thing before, so he really didn't dare to give it to that woman like this.If something unexpected happened, his family would not be able to keep him.

Zhong Yun smiled and said, "Nothing, just a painting."

"Painting?" Young Master Hong frowned.

"She is fascinated by the Jialan civilization, and I happen to have such a painting on my body, which is suitable for her."

"Jalan's painting?" Young Master Hong narrowed his eyes. He is not an ignorant person. If it is really a painting handed down by Jialan, it will be of great value.National treasures like those are more valuable than his blue mecha.

After hesitating for a moment, Young Master Hong said, "How much is this painting? You can set a price."

Zhong Yun shook his head, "For you."

Young Master Hong said displeased, "What do you mean? If you don't charge me, I won't want this painting." As he said that, he pushed the box back.

Zhong Yun glanced at him unexpectedly, thinking that he really deserves to be an elite cultivated by a big family. He is generous and does not take advantage.Originally, he thought that Young Master Hong was just a scheming dude.Now it seems that I have underestimated him.

Of course, this is also Zhong Yun's strength enough for Young Master Hong to value.Otherwise, how could there be such treatment.

No matter what, Young Master Hong's actions won Zhong Yun's favor.He didn't pretend to be hypocritical, he just said, you can watch it then.

Young Master Hong thought for a moment and agreed.

After Zhong Yun left, Young Master Hong stroked the box. He felt a little more confident when he heard that it was a Jialan painting.

However, with a flash of his eyes, he called his entourage in, pointed at the box, "Take it out and check to see if there are any dangerous goods."

After the attendant took the box away, he added, "Remember, don't open it."

PS: Uh, the monthly pass is really ugly, please ask for a monthly pass.
