Future Shennong Space

The airship is a kind of transportation unique to Dark Sand Star. It is slower than the airship, but it has a very large space on it. It can carry more people and goods than ordinary airships. The most important thing is that it consumes more energy than the same volume. There are far fewer spaceships.

Brooklyn is close to the sea and the dense virgin jungle, with a very large area.The terrain here is very complicated, and the people in the city are equally complicated, including mercenaries, pirates, interstellar exiles, as well as various fugitives and people who came here for other reasons.

Every day, people disappear here quietly, and new outsiders join in every day.

When they got off the airship, it was night, and with the rain, there were not many pedestrians on the street.So no one noticed at all, who entered Brooklyn, a city like a melting pot, in the night.

Xiao seemed to be very familiar with this city, leading Ji Mingxiao through the intricate streets of Brooklyn with ease, and finally stopped at the end of a small alley.

There is a hotel signboard here, but it is tightly covered by the ivy planted at the door. If someone hadn't led it over, you wouldn't be able to tell where it was at all.

"This can be said to be the safest hotel in Brooklyn. The owner only opens to people he knows." Xiao said to him while pushing the door open.

As soon as you enter the door surrounded by ivy, a warm air immediately rushes to your face, with the mellow aroma of coffee.

This room was not too big, and the light was very dark. The fireplace beside the wall was burning, making the sound of crackling sparks from time to time.In front of the fireplace was an antique-style sofa, a man in a nightgown was sitting there, watching something with an electronic tablet, and a coffee cup was placed on the table in front of him.

Xiao stepped forward and whispered something to him, the man looked up at them lazily, put down the things in his hand reluctantly, took out a large bunch of keys from his side, and untied one of them for them.

"Standard suite on the third floor, go find it yourself." He said lazily, then ignored them, picked up the tablet and started watching.

Xiao didn't take it seriously, and led Ji Mingxiao into the next door.When passing by the man, Ji Mingxiao casually glanced at the thing he was watching. It was covered with white flowers, and some kind of popular love action movie was being staged.

He couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and followed Xiao into the door. When the door closed, he heard a burst of laughter from the man, as if he saw something very funny.

"Is this person the boss here?" He asked Xiao, "Looks crazy."

"His nickname is Madman." Xiao said concisely, "Try not to provoke him."

Inside the door was an elevator that took them directly to the third floor.After the elevator door opened, it faced a long dark corridor with closed doors on both sides of the corridor.

Xiao looked at the label on the key, led him to the corresponding room, and opened it.

Unexpectedly, the room was very warm and tidy, just like an ordinary and comfortable apartment, completely different from the dark corridor outside.

When they were walking through the streets outside, both of them were drenched by the rain a lot, and it was not comfortable for their clothes to stick to their bodies.

After taking a hot bath and changing into dry clothes, Xiao did not fall asleep, but prepared to go out.

It was pitch black outside the window, and the raindrops were pattering on the window. Ji Mingxiao couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything that must be done now?"

"Now is the best chance." Xiao put on a hooded coat, smiled and kissed him on the top of his head, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, you go to bed first."

Even though Xiao said so, after he left, Ji Mingxiao was still sitting on the sofa outside, doing mental exercises while waiting for him.But until he fell asleep waiting, Xiao didn't come back.

Probably because of the sound of rain, when he was asleep, it was raining even in his dream.He seems to have returned to the house where he first lived in Tuckerman Star. When it rained there, the raindrops also slapped on the windows.Once when it was raining, he went to close the window, and the cool air of the wind mixed with the moisture of the rain hit his face directly, and the outside world was hazy and blurred by the rain.

The cold air and moisture were still rushing to his face, as if his body was also contaminated, Ji Mingxiao shivered, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Xiao was hugging him. The clothes on his body were waterproof, but still had the moisture of rain, and the tips of his hair were dripping, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Seeing Ji Mingxiao opened his eyes, he lowered his head and kissed his eyes lightly, and before he could react, he kissed his cheeks, nose tip, and lips all the way down, and then stayed there to rub his lips.

Before Ji Mingxiao was fully awake, he kissed him all over the place, and it took him a while to recover.

"What happened?" He asked a little dazedly.

Xiao relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, with an unconcealable excitement on his face, Ji Mingxiao had never seen him so emotionally exposed.

"Although there were some accidents, the matter has been resolved. You don't have to worry about someone coming to arrest you again." Xiao said with a smile, "And I have already contacted my people, and they will come here to pick us up in a few days."

Ji Mingxiao was stunned.

He looked out the window, and although it was still raining, it was already dawn, which meant that Xiao hadn't returned all night.

So what did Xiao do this night?

Why did the matter come to him, and it seemed to be resolved easily?

His eyes were too direct, and the obvious surprise and admiration made Xiao feel a little proud. He restrained his emotions a little, and told him another news.

"There is one more thing. If it is done properly, it may change the status quo of the Federation and the Ragu Star Empire."

This news was obviously too general, and Ji Mingxiao was a little confused.Xiao didn't explain too much, he stretched and stood up from the sofa.

"I'm going to take a shower and catch up on sleep."

It was still dark outside because of the rain.Xiao didn't sleep all night, and Ji Mingxiao had been waiting for him but didn't sleep for long.So after Xiao took a hot bath, he took Ji Mingxiao back to bed and slept again.

It was already afternoon when I woke up, and the rain outside had stopped.

The hotel provides meals, but if you miss a meal, you have to figure out what to do.Xiao took him to a shop on the street and ate some local specialties.

When he came out of the door surrounded by ivy, Ji Mingxiao didn't see the very individual boss from yesterday.And after he came out of the hotel, he realized that this place was not as chaotic and terrifying as he had imagined. On the contrary, the surrounding environment was like an ordinary port city.The white houses are scattered on both sides of the street, and you can directly see the sea in front of the door.There are evergreen plants and some flowers planted in front of many houses. The colors are more delicate after the rain, and the colorful colors give people a beautiful and peaceful feeling.

The place where they ate was an open-air restaurant, on a platform stretching out to the sea, which was an excellent place to enjoy the sea view.

When the waiter brought out the ordered dishes, Ji Mingxiao almost thought they were here for vacation.

Because it is near the sea, most of the special dishes here are seafood.The store they are in has more than a dozen kinds of oysters, and the prices are set according to the size. When eating, they will be served with fresh lemon, which tastes extra crisp and fresh.

The size of the lobster is not very big, but the meat is very full. After cooking, put it on the ice. When you want to eat it, cut it in half. You can feel the elasticity and sweetness of the meat after one bite.In addition, there are grilled fish and a mussel pot made with a kind of local shellfish, which taste very good. Of course, the price at the final checkout is also eye-popping.

"The Dark Sand Star is rich in various mineral materials, which are not suitable for farming, so food is very scarce. Because of Brooklyn's better geographical location, these problems are not serious, but in other areas of the Dark Sand Star, it often leads to some fights. .” Xiao explained to him.

"I've found a place to exchange for a local trading card, let's go to the material trading center later."

Ji Mingxiao couldn't help but look sideways at him: "How many things did you do in one night?"

Xiao shrugged slightly, "It will definitely exceed everyone's imagination."

-------------------------

On the way to the trading center in downtown Brooklyn, Ji Mingxiao finally woke up from the illusion of vacation.

The closer it is to the city center, the more prosperous it is. Many rich and luxurious buildings are actually gambling and whoring.People in sexy and revealing clothes and heavy makeup can be seen everywhere on the street. It is impossible to tell whether they are men or women. The dark alleys on the roadside are full of all kinds of violence and crimes.

"For the powerful, this place is like heaven; for the weak, this is hell."

This sentence very clearly points out the biggest rule of Brooklyn, strength first.

Compared with the small city they came from, the commercial street here is obviously much more prosperous, and they also saw shops selling mechs.However, the price of the mechs here is obviously much higher than that of the outside world, and in Ji Mingxiao's opinion, the price is even ridiculously high.

The materials for making the mecha here are extremely cheap, and most of the high-grade materials that Xiao's mecha needs to be used have been found, and he bought them at a high price.But among them, thorium is used the most. They searched all the material stores here but couldn't find much.

Other materials can be found after returning to the Federation, but the star field near Dark Sand Star is the place where Thorium is produced. If you can't find it here, then even if you go back, you may not have a better result.

After inquiring with the boss, they got a piece of news.

"Tomorrow there will be a trade fair in Gray Rock, and all kinds of rare things will appear. I heard that there may be a large amount of thorium. You can go there to try your luck. But you have to find a way to get admission tickets first, and you have to prepare Enough money." The boss who made a big deal today said to the donor with a smile.

Xiao's face darkened slightly, and Ji Mingxiao asked a little puzzled, "Grey Rock?"

The boss winked at him ambiguously, "The most famous nightclub in Brooklyn, when you get there, you can find whatever you want."

Alright, Ji Mingxiao nodded clearly, and was dragged out of the store by Xiao before asking any more questions.

After some more inquiries, I can confirm that at the trade fair tomorrow, there will indeed be a lot of top-level mech making materials, including a large amount of Thorium.

The fair is private and not held publicly, and tickets are hard to come by.

"I can think of a way for the admission ticket," Xiao hesitated, "but the price of the things sold at the fair must be much higher than the usual price, and the money I exchanged may not be enough."

"That," Ji Mingxiao said, "maybe I can help."

"Ok?"
