Like a mouse in a dirty stinky ditch that doesn't want to crawl out, "Think about it, Ike, you can't live like this forever, and design pornographic simulation tools that don't work on the table for those vulgar refugees Don't you feel ashamed to earn money from those people who don't know whether it was stolen or cheated?"

"..." Even though he was denied the way of life, he couldn't get angry with the uncle who had polished his edges and corners in the years of tempering. He reached out and closed the projection box. Disappeared instantly as if waking up from a dream, the store returned to its previous chaos and grayness, scratching the messy hair, "It's really unnecessary, I think it's fine now, uncle, my eyes are not very good, too bright will make my eyes dazzled..."

Rant wholeheartedly believes that since Ike is about to be with him, he can no longer live like before. He must be transformed into a superior person who can walk side by side with him, instead of being with those sneaky refugees .

But Ike always has a lazy and careless attitude, which makes him anxious but helpless: "Oh...why are you always like this..." Maybe it's because Uncle Ike hasn't had much contact with the upper class yet. , if you can let him talk to people with taste more, or even just stand around them more, maybe he will be gradually infected, hate those vulgar things, and turn into a well-educated upper class person. Isn't that the case with all the girls you date?

Lante smiled excitedly and grabbed the uncle who turned around and wanted to go into the back room to sleep: "Ike, you go to the dance held by my father tonight!"

"what?"

"Yes! That's it! You need to go out and see the world, and you will not make any progress in this kind of place. The ball tonight is held by my father to welcome an important family member who came from afar. Many aristocrats, wealthy businessmen and elites, ordinary civilians are not allowed to participate, you will definitely benefit if you go-"

"Wait a minute!" Ike held down the excited Rand, "I'm also a civilian, and I'm a refugee without a document. I'm afraid I can't participate in this dance..."

Lante frowned, and couldn't understand his reaction. All the students in the college were eager for this dance, and even the flower of the college, who usually put on a princess-like proud posture, sent news that she wanted to be his dance partner. Attending, why is Uncle Ike so clueless?

He thought for a while, and suddenly realized that he comforted Ike: "Don't worry about the dress, I will ask my housekeeper to bring the dress with me, well, now is not the time to discuss this, I should go, I will talk about it later Let the butler drive to pick you up."

"That's not what I meant... Wait! Rand!"

The bright nebula is like a huge molecular cloud pillar, giving birth to shining newborn stars one after another, and layers of overlapping interstellar dust reflect the brilliance of the stars, showing a blue halo.Even though human beings have taken the step of exploring the universe, the seemingly endless universe is still full of many unknown secrets, keeping her mysterious and remote.

This vast starry sky is actually just a mirage themed with reflection nebulae arranged in a simulated projection.

The guests at the ball felt like they were in cosmic starlight, and although it might actually be a rather boring venue if the projections were turned off, humans themselves are creatures that are easily confused by what the eye sees.

Ike, who was wearing a black dress, stepped on the Spider Nebula.

In fact, he didn't want to come.

Lante's subsequent actions were more than he didn't even have the chance to refuse.Shortly after he left, an old housekeeper knocked on his door. Although his eyes couldn't hide his contempt and scrutiny, he still brought a well-fitting suit. As for the car that came to pick him up, it was a bit unfortunate. Between the walls of the narrow back alley, he could only come to the dance on foot in the end.

The old butler brought him into the venue, probably worried that he would embarrass the little master, so he carefully told him some precautions during the process, and Ike did not interrupt the other party to listen silently, anyway, even if If I told him that I used to go to dances more often than I slept when I was young, the other party probably wouldn't believe it.

Guests who entered the venue couldn't help but be amazed by this magnificent starry sky simulation technology, but in the eyes of Ike, who is used to the aristocratic balls held by the alliance's main galaxy, the gorgeous starry sky is matched with retro mother star party clothes, It's a bit out of place.Although the starry sky looks quite shocking, it's a pity that the overly luxurious and majestic campaign has deliberately created an atmosphere, like a rich man in the country who wants to imitate the nobles of the imperial capital but can only make some ugly fur .

Dancing on the planet?So don't you have to wear a heavy spacesuit?If you wear a vintage silk dress and go into outer space, you will die with blood vessels bursting, nostrils and eyes spurting before you make your gorgeous debut, right?

Although I feel that I am a bit too ignorant to think like this, after all, those who come to the banquet are the nobles and wealthy businessmen who usually sit in the VIP seat of the spaceship to admire the nebula in the distance with admiration and praise, but drifting in outer space like him, almost People who came back alive have long since lost any illusions about the universe.

He sighed, looking around to find Rand, at least to say hello, to prove that he has been here, even if he wants to escape, he will have an explanation...

There seemed to be a commotion-like excitement on the east side of the venue. Many people gathered, and it seemed that some important person had appeared.Gossip is the nature of human beings. Ike couldn't help but look over there, and saw an old businessman who looked somewhat similar to Rand among the crowd, and the old businessman was following closely behind the other side with great care. around guests.

Ike guessed that this guest was an important member of the Heber family that Rand had mentioned before. In fact, from the respectful and cautious old businessman who was also a member of the Heber family and in charge of the commercial lifeline of the space port of the 265 colonial star. In terms of attitude, Ike keenly noticed that the guest seemed to be more than just an ordinary family member.

The man was facing Ike sideways. He was tall and tall among the many guests. His long gray and almost white hair covered his face. It happened that the person next to him was talking to him, and the man's face was slightly Turning around, Ike couldn't help admiring in his heart, probably this face must be a very proud creation of the Creator.

Eyes deep, nose high, embossed and three-dimensional facial features, almost like a work of art, reaching the point of no flaws, water blue eyes are bright and deep, hiding a deep wisdom that others cannot guess, everything combined makes this man so handsome Almost weird.However, when he revealed his entire face, Ike shuddered. He saw the devil at the same moment as he saw the angel. Anyone would be shaken by the shock of this moment.

The other half of the face turned out to be a metal cheek.

No, it's not that the whole face is made of metal, but the part from the frontal bone to the cheekbone on the left side is made of exquisite machinery, and even the eyes are protruding artificial glass crystal eyeballs.In fact, in the colonial planet where the plastic surgery technology is very developed, it is completely possible to cover the artificial skin on the surface of the machine to make it look like the real thing, but the man did not do this.

The naked mechanical face even made people afraid to look directly at him. When he raised his hand to take a wine glass from a waiter's tray, his fingers and wrists were actually mechanical prosthetics.However, the man was not ashamed to show others at all, and even generously showed his disabled body which was different from normal people.

But none of the people around him dared to show contempt or curiosity. They succumbed to the power and status of this man, and they were cautious, let alone discussing it.

No matter what the identity of that person is, to Ike, it is simply farther than the distance between galaxies. He looked away after seeing it, and finally saw Rand in the crowd on the other side.

Rand was wearing a white dress, which looked like a "prince" professional attire from the ancient mother planet. Coupled with his handsome and elegant temperament, he always easily attracted the attention of girls.

Ike managed to squeeze away those delicate young girls, and got a bunch of big eyes who were obviously interrupted by an inexplicable uncle to chat with the prince.

"Ike! Where have you been hiding? Why didn't I see you?" Lante greeted Ike in a high-spirited voice, and put his arms around his shoulders as a master.

"Rand, who is he?" A beautiful girl wearing the most fashionable nebula swirl dress in the main galaxy, full of bright spots, took Rand's arm very intimately. Although her tone was curious, her eyes were full of curiosity. He couldn't hide his disdain for this strange uncle.

"His name is Ike."

The girl blinked her eyes: "Huh? Is that the subject of your social studies assignment last time?"

"Uh... yes."

"But how can a commoner be qualified to come here to attend the ball?"

"You are so stupid! That must have been invited by Rand!"

"Wow, Rand, you are so caring! You even invited your practice subjects to the ball!"

"That's right! If it wasn't for Rand, ordinary civilians like this probably wouldn't have the chance to attend a ball in their lifetime!"

Lant, who didn't have time to introduce Ike's identity, became very embarrassed, and the girls around him seemed to know that Ike was once the object of Lant's social practice, and they all knew that this uncle was just a man living at the bottom. It's nothing more than civilians, so they discussed it indifferently.
