[Rebirth] Alien Royalty
Chapter 52 Interstellar Underground Merchant
Chapter 52
So... He and Arnold are now in a cooperative relationship, right?
On the way back to the room, Lu Xiao thought about it.His decision should be correct, and Arnold is not the same as before, but after all, he told others some of his secrets, so he still feels a little uneasy in his heart.But on the other hand, Arnold has almost no reservations about him, so he can indeed try to trust the other party again...
Lu Xiao turned a corner and came to the corridor. He saw the man with the scar leaning against the door of his room, and his footsteps paused slightly.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Xiao asked as he walked.
Cecil looked over and curled his lips: "Do you really want to stay here?"
"Well, yes." Lu Xiao nodded, walked over and opened the room with the key.
Although I planned to ask Cecil for help before, but now that I have decided to act with Arnold, there is no need to leave.
"What can you do here?" Cecil followed his ass into the room, "That fellow Arnold really intends to take revenge on those guys with unknown origins, and you want to waste time and life with him? "
"...I agree with his decision." Lu Xiao said blackly.
Cecil crossed his arms, stood in the middle of the room, frowned and looked at Lu Xiao, asking, "Have you recovered your memory?"
"No, you still want those experimental materials in my head?"
"I'm just wondering if you're the same Bazel from before."
Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at Cecil and said, "I'm not anymore."
"Huh?" Cecil raised his eyebrows.
"I'm not the Bazel I used to be—no matter how you understand my words, I mean it literally, so you can't use my previous behaviors to guess my current movements."
Cecil didn't speak, just frowned and stared at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao really couldn't figure out what he meant by coming to him at this time, so he had to figure it out for himself, and said: "So even if I remember the past one day, I will not continue to do experiments. This time you and us The employment relationship between the two is over, so let's stop here."
Cecil was obviously upset, his face stretched, but he didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.
"...Do you have anything else to do?" Lu Xiao wanted to see off the guests.
Cecil said gloomyly: "You and Arnold are still planning other things!"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Lu Xiao was startled.
"Sure enough," Cecil snorted, "If you want us to stay and help you, it's not that we can't think about it. And about revenge, although it has nothing to do with me, Tania and Xiaoni I'm annoyed by my son's constant quarrel, if we leave her here, wouldn't all the medicine used on her be wasted!"
"..." What is this?
"Hey, even if you don't have any money or other things to pay us," Cecil twisted his neck and raised his chin, looking like a gentleman, "just ask me, I can't— "
"no need!"
"..."
Lu Xiao said sincerely: "Hurry up and find other jobs to do, don't waste time and life with us."
"..."
So Cecil walked away with a bad face.
However, the next day, this guy appeared in front of Lu Xiao, with a triumphant grin at the corner of his mouth.
"Boss, have you really decided?!" The other two members of Black Hawk shouted after him.
"Ah, I've made a decision. Hurry up and notify the other people. If you want to leave, go quickly. If you want to follow me, let them come and meet with us!" Cecil turned his head back to them, and turned back Lai grinned at Lu Xiao and said, "Hey, I've been thinking about it all night, and I still think you'll need me. I understand that you're a weakling. If you have me, you don't have to worry, and you don't need to thank me too much." He also patted Lu Xiao on the back so vigorously that he almost choked on the water.
Lu Xiao wiped his mouth and stared at Cecil with wide eyes: "Are you a mercenary?!"
"Well, that's right." Cecil poked his ears.
"Don't you have to do serious business? We don't need to—"
"Ah, let me explain something first," Cecil glanced at him, his dark eyes flashed with a coldness that could not be refuted, "I didn't say that people who have been mercenaries have to be mercenaries for the rest of their lives, right? Something I want to do. I'm more interested in you now, so I don't plan to do anything else."
"..."
Although Cecil could indeed become a support that should not be underestimated if he could stay, but Lu Xiao didn't understand what Cecil was here for.
...Could it be that he was really entangled?
Lu Xiao was startled into a cold sweat by this thought.
After Cecil said those words, he looked at the black-haired man sitting next to Lu Xiao, with a hint of provocation in his expression.
Noticing his gaze, Arnold looked over and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to do good deeds for free, Cecil, if you want to stay, of course we welcome you."
"..." Cecil gritted his teeth and grabbed Lu Xiao by the back collar, and carried him to the other side of the dining table. He sat down in this position and snorted coldly.
Looking at the rivalry scene not far away, Tania glanced expressionlessly at the red-haired man beside him: "Are you going to stay, Xia Zuo?"
"Well," Xia Zuo said lightly, "let's treat it as a vacation."
In the end, apart from Cecil, Xia Zuo, and Tania, only the two Black Hawk members who were sent out to track down the aircraft remained.
Cecil himself seemed indifferent, he was more interested in what Lu Xiao and Arnold were planning.
After the members on the flight plane stabilized, everyone began to formally discuss the future.
The first is the question of money.
Before at the base, everyone was self-sufficient, and food was no problem.There is no production room in this aircraft, so the ingredients and the like are delivered directly from various bases.Now the remaining food can sustain the people here for a while, but not for long.
"Mr. Arnold, I remember that some things in the base were added after you took control of the base!" Chris from the second base said, "Those should be brought back from outside."
"Well, that's right, I know an underground businessman, he was recruited by the little prince before, and later he cooperated with me," Arnold said, "But he didn't provide it for free."
"Then what did you pay for before..." Chris said in a daze.
"There is still some money left in the base. Besides that, of course it is the potions left by the little prince." Arnold smiled.
Lu Xiao was stunned for the four of them and Sami in the No. [-] base.
Fitch was taken aback by Arnold's words, stood up and said in a panic, "Mr. Arnold, what's the matter with this potion, uh—" There were not many people who used the potion as money back then. I know!
"So you lied to us when you said that all the potions were destroyed?" Chris frowned.
"Well," Arnold admitted frankly, "it's a pity to destroy it. There are many people outside who want the potion, so they have a great ability to pay."
The four people in the No. [-] base were silent for a moment.
Just as Lu Xiao was thinking that he wouldn't fall out at this moment, Chris exchanged glances with the other three, and said in a low voice, "Well... about these things, can you stop lying to us in the future?"
"I know, that's why I told you that," Arnold was always calm, "but at the base, it wouldn't work, right?"
Everyone defaults to it.
After all, the situation is different now, so we can be honest and understand each other.
"So there are not many potions left now?" Chris asked.
"Yes, so we urgently need to solve the money problem." Fitch wiped his cold sweat and sat down again.
A group of people fell silent for a moment.
But after all, there is no other way, so there is only one way to go.
The flying machine sailed slowly in the silent universe, and stopped in a star field after a day, and the two aircraft were ejected.
Arnold and Lu Xiao sat in the leading aircraft, followed by Chris and Fitch.
After two jumps, Arnold and the four approached an unfamiliar flying machine.
The flying machine opened a hatch for them, and the two aircraft slowly entered it.
After parking the aircraft, the four of them walked out.
There was no one waiting for them outside the hangar, but Arnold knew the way as if he were walking in his own home.The flying machine is not big, walk through this corridor, open the door at the end, and inside is the largest space in the flying machine.
In the entire room, apart from the sofas on both sides, there was only a table facing the door and the person behind the table.
There is a very thin computer on the table, leaning on the chair, the person with his legs on the table in a casual posture is staring at the computer screen.
The man had long hair combed into delicate braids.A tight black vest on his upper body, which undoubtedly showed his curves, and a pair of white loose trousers.
The face is somewhat difficult to distinguish between men and women, and the chest is simply flat, so it doesn't need to make people entangled for too long.
"Hi, Hall, long time no see." Arnold smiled and greeted him in the language of the Thirteen Galaxy Alliance.
Lu Xiao was secretly surprised.
Arnold spoke an unfamiliar language, but he could understand it, probably because Bazel had learned this language before.
Fitch and Chris were originally residents of the Thirteen-Star System Alliance, they learned Shmiya later, and the Alliance language is their mother tongue.
Hall raised his head, his gaze wandered over the four of them, and finally settled on Lu Xiao.
With a bitter face, he complained lazily: "You really brought this Highness here."
"I said you don't need to be nervous." Arnold took the lead and walked to the side of the sofa and sat down.
Lu Xiao and the others also sat down with Arnold.
"Because this Highness lost his memory, right?" Hall sighed, got up and walked around the table, leaning against the corner of the table, "Then I will simply greet you, Your Highness Bazel."
"It's okay, you don't need to call me 'His Royal Highness'." Lu Xiao hurriedly said.
Hall raised his eyebrows, and said to Arnold: "Then what do you need me to do for you this time?"
Arnold briefly explained their purpose.
If you want to make money, you can't do it like a mercenary group, because there are basically no people here who can become mercenaries except for Arnold-this is what Cecil said himself.
So the only way out is to get an identity card, register on the online trading platform, and become an exchangeable labor force.Generally speaking, there will be some more ordinary jobs on this type of platform, such as running errands for the employer, helping to clean up the yard, and other various jobs.There will be very strict identity verification for registered people on large platforms, but there is no problem with small platforms.
But the identities of the few people in front of Hall are very subtle.
Lu Xiao will not talk about it, Arnold is a man-made human, and he has no identity in the interstellar society, and people like Fitch and Chris have become "missing persons" early on, so it is definitely not good to use their original identities again of.
In other words, everyone needs a fake identity.Not only the four here, but also those who remain in the flying machine are all needed - making money is everyone's task.
In addition to the false identity, Lu Xiao also needs to change his appearance.
This time, they still paid with potions, but after paying this time, they really didn't have much potions left.
After asking his assistant to take Fitch and Chris to process the ID cards, Hall led Lu Xiao and Arnold into another room.
Lu Xiao sat on a chair and put on an apron. For a moment, he had the illusion that he had come to a barber shop.
"Okay, so let's start with the hair." Hall held a pair of scissors, "clicked and clicked" twice, "Trim it, and then what color will it be dyed?"
"Uh... Ran..." Lu Xiao couldn't think of it all at once.
"Dye it black?" Arnold made the decision for him.
"Well, then black... right..."
During the dyeing process, Hall picked another pair of pupils for him.
Lu Xiao's light blue irises are not special, but his pupils are special.Once frightened, it turns into a vertical line, which is very dangerous.
But since I have to wear pupil lenses, I simply changed the color of the iris to brown.
After putting on the pupils with some difficulty, Arnold leaned forward and looked at him for a moment, and said softly when Hall turned around: "Actually, your pupils are still cute when they become vertical lines."
After finishing speaking, he straightened up with a nonchalant expression and followed Hall.
Lu Xiao remained seated, looking at the back of the black-haired man strangely.
yarn...
Two hours later, the hair was colored, a human skin mask was pasted on, and a boy with black hair and brown eyes stood in front of the mirror.
Arnold and Hall stood behind him and looked at him for a long time, Hall commented: "Ordinary..."
Yes, he has completely turned into an ordinary person.
Although Lu Xiao is a black-haired and black-eyed young man from heaven, after all, he has lived in Bazel's skin for a while, and he is not used to changing his image all of a sudden.
"Then go to the reception room just now and wait. Your companions should be going back soon."
Lu Xiao was taken aback: "Where's Arnold?"
Arnold stood beside Hall, smiled at him and said, "I still have some work to do, you go first."
After Lu Xiao left, there were only two people left in the room.
"Did I feel wrong? You seem to care too much about that Highness." Hall said while preparing things.
Arnold sat by the bed against the wall, took out a piece of paper from his pants pocket, and handed it to Hall who came over: "It's not your illusion."
Hall unfolded the paper, looked at the skull and butterfly pattern on it, and said, "Don't you hate him? Although it is said that he has amnesia, but after all, it is His Royal Highness, and maybe one day he will recover his original nature."
Arnold took off his shirt and lay down on the bed: "No, that person is no longer Bazel."
"I don't understand you."
"You don't need to understand, as long as I understand."
Looking at the other party's smile, Hall flicked the paper in his hand: "It seems that I can't be interested in him anymore."
So... He and Arnold are now in a cooperative relationship, right?
On the way back to the room, Lu Xiao thought about it.His decision should be correct, and Arnold is not the same as before, but after all, he told others some of his secrets, so he still feels a little uneasy in his heart.But on the other hand, Arnold has almost no reservations about him, so he can indeed try to trust the other party again...
