The infrastructure starts from the plane hotel

It is indeed cheap.

This kind of space equipment is a controlled technology in all major civilizations. If private individuals want to buy it, it can easily cost [-] yuan, and they must also undergo strict qualification reviews.

But in the border area, the starting price is only a few hundred stars, and there are very few people who want to buy it.

Butler Chu took it down easily.

"A good thing is a good thing." The special envoy looked hot, "It's a pity that you can't use it when you return to the empire." Thinking of the specific use of this thing, the special envoy showed an ambiguous smile.

Butler Chu smiled and said, "This is the freedom in the outer universe, isn't it?"

"Haha, yes, freedom," the envoy raised his teacup, "Cheers to freedom."

"cheers."

The liberty of the nobility and the liberty of the common people are not the same thing.

Also in the "free" outer universe area, a group of small creatures temporarily sacrificed their freedom for the survival of their own race.

"Nutrient solution, culture tank, soil from the original planet..."

Ah Chang checked the long shopping list, while the half-rabbit people ran around in a hurry, bringing the things they bought to Ah Chang to report from time to time.

The half-rabbit people are also at the auction.

Naturally, they are not qualified to go to the VIP room, and they are not even qualified to allow all rabbits to enter the main auction-the main venue requires a certain amount of star coins to enter-but when several fortresses are connected together , the residents in the fortress will also take out their own collections, forming several scattered small markets, and exchange what they need with each other.

Among other things, the half-rabbit people at least have a comprehensive enough relative network. They have relatives in different fortresses. They are also familiar with the rules of the underlying market and know where they can buy the cheapest goods.

In this auction, half-rabbit people were active in every corner of the market, collecting what they wanted.

They confuse their relatives.

"You guys have enough to buy this time!"

A half-rabbit man from another fort helped carry a bag of materials, and asked Ah Chang strangely: "What are you planning to do?"

The half-rabbit man hurriedly replied, "We want to build a moon."

"Moon? What's that?"

"A star flying around a piece of land, to be precise, is a satellite."

"Ah?" The half-rabbit man was stunned, and began to wonder if the half-rabbit man in this fortress had gone crazy.

"This is a commission from a nobleman," A Chang explained with a wry smile, "He is going to upgrade his detector and transform it into an artificial planet... This is a long-term project, so we signed a labor agreement, and he agreed to our Building space farms on his turf."

Of course, the specific agreement is more than that.

However, what Bantu people value most is the "Space Farm"!

That's their farm!

Seyo, the nobleman of the stars, will provide the seeds, technology and ecosystem, and the half-rabbit people will learn and master it all.

Of course, this is not free. In addition to upgrading the detectors for Seyou free of charge, the Bantu people are not allowed to take away the materials in the space farm. They can only be purchased by Seyou, but the Bantu people still agreed.

Half-rabbit people are actually very aware that their "dreams" are a bit naive.

If there is not enough food and technology, only a starship cannot survive, but before that, they have no place to learn at all, they can only take one step at a time.

Now, they got a chance to:

"Don't you think my star is too lonely? It's my star, but it doesn't have any satellites. They said that because of the conditions of the surrounding stars, it is impossible to send me a star, so I can only consider upgrading the probe to planet, the middle must be empty, so as not to affect other stars with too much mass!"

Master Seyu complained so at the time.

This is undoubtedly a willful decision in line with the personality of the noble young master, because it is so willful that even his butler servants are not optimistic about this plan, so Seyu took a fancy to "not afraid of power", "dare to talk back to the special envoy", "will keep it secret" "The half-rabbit people entrusted them to build their own planet, and promised to give them the technology of ecological farms.

Of course, the half-rabbit people will not miss this opportunity.

In order to ensure that the ecological farm is completely their own, they even rejected Master Seyou's initiative to provide a farm, took out the money for the starship they were planning to buy, and purchased materials from scratch, determined that they would start from the first by themselves. Start learning and building down-to-earth step by step.

Their decision was supported by the half-rabbit people in other fortresses.

"This is much better than your original plan to buy starships."

"I was worried about what to do if your original company was rectified, at least in the short term."

"Is your coat color better than before?"

Ah Chang smiled wryly and listened to the discussion of the other half-rabbit people. He didn't tell them that he didn't give up his original plan!

It is not an option to depend on others.

They want to learn the technology of ecological farms, and they also want the seeds of those vegetables, all in order to wait until they have their own starship in the future, transform the starship, and go to a place deeper in the universe, where no one is restrained, completely Own a planet of your own.

At that time, I invited Ah Chu to go with me. I don't know if he would be willing.

However, the existence of "dream" is the most valuable when it is in my heart.

Ah Chang and the other half-rabbit people did not talk to the half-rabbit people in other fortresses, but happily followed their topic and said:

"Has the coat color changed?"

"Because our food is good, and the new employer's family provides good vegetables, and they are going to grow them in the ecological farm!"

"Of course you are welcome to come to our farm to play! Because it is our farm! After saving some star coins, maybe we can be a little extravagant. Maybe you can go to the space port hostel of the employer's house. It's very interesting there. -"

The half-rabbit people began to tell their distant relatives about their recent experiences.

In fact, rabbits are also very cunning creatures. They realize that they have more things to do than usual, so they consciously lure their compatriots to do it together.

Anyway, the kind of unscrupulous companies that don't pay wages at every turn and may be rectified at any time are definitely better than growing vegetables for themselves!

The half-rabbit people are happily doing their purchases, and the auction on the other side is also going on steadily.

As time goes by, the items at the auction become more expensive.

Afterwards, Housekeeper Chu sold a few more items, all of which were not expensive but very stylish.

Envoy Kodler was more and more itchy to be seduced by him. He sketched several planet development plans in his mind, but he felt more and more that the other party's goal was more than that, and it might be an unimaginable big project.

This made him want to attract the other party's attention: "Your Excellency, butler, I wonder if you have read the auction list. Although they made a fuss about the last finale item, for this kind of frontier auction, it is a bit mean."

In this auction, the finale item was kept confidential, and the special envoy only learned about it through the privilege of Marshal Luke.

Special Envoy Kodler was showing off, and was also testing Steward Chu's intelligence network.

"Compared to that, for me, the most valuable thing is before that," Butler Chu sighed melancholy, "Of course, it would be even better if there is a 'Light Ax V-899 Missile' in this auction." gone."

"Haha, you really know how to joke, that is a star weapon," the special envoy laughed, "How could it appear in the border auction!"

"Yes, even if there is, my young master, as an exile, has no right to buy it." The butler smiled and shook his head.

But what he said made the special envoy even more curious.

What exactly is it that the housekeeper needs to buy, and it needs to be used with the "Light Ax V-899 Missile"?

Special Envoy Kodler had a vague feeling that as long as he knew the answer to this question, he would not be far from knowing the overall situation of Steward Chu's "rich plan".

He didn't wait long.

Before the mysterious grand finale, a water tank was brought up to the auction block.

In the tank is a long silver creature.

It looks a bit like a snake, but with a pair of small horns.

The creature was lying at the bottom of the water tank dying, looking like it was dying.

The auctioneers seemed unmoved by the fact that this thing was in such a bad condition.

But the special envoy noticed that Steward Chu turned his head and stared at the creature carefully with electronic eyes.

In this auction, it was the first time that Butler Chu looked at the auction items so carefully.

"Everyone, the auction item for this round is a mysterious creature from the Azure Sea," the master of ceremonies introduced. , everyone is very clear that the creatures in the Azure Star Field are never as simple as they appear on the surface. Whether they are beautiful mermaids or terrifying evil gods, they can more or less dominate our consciousness. Therefore, although we don’t know the creatures What is the specific ability, (booing), but for everyone who explores in the outer universe, it is also very likely to be a life-saving medicine."

The master of ceremonies' words made some people interested.

Indeed, the Azure Starfield is rich in mind-controlling creatures. People have always said that eating the flesh of creatures in that galaxy can live forever, and no matter how bad it is, it can also clear up the type of mental trauma similar to the previous half-rabbit man Ah Er.

For a while, it was even popular in the Empire of Stars to eat mermaid meat!

Therefore, no matter what kind of creature it is, as long as it is produced in the Azure Star Field, there is always some value.

So here and there some people began to raise signs.

Butler Chu quoted a high price after waiting for three or five people.

"50 million star coins."

The special envoy raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It's too expensive, it's just an unknown creature." The previous offer was only in the early [-] star coins.

"It's not an unknown creature." Butler Chu said.

The master of ceremonies became excited when he heard the price: "It seems that someone knows the value of this creature! Then, 50 star coins, once! 50 star coins, twice! 50..."

"100 million star coins!"

At the last moment, at the VIP seats, someone increased the price, but it doubled in one go.

The envoy's eyes widened.

Butler Chu frowned, and added without hesitation: "300 million star coins."

Continue to double over there: "600 million star coins."

Hearing such a terrible price, the auction house below went crazy.

I also have to say that places like auctions are the most likely to make people numb to the price. For some reason, there are people in many VIP seats following suit, and the price of this unknown creature in the Azure Star Field has become even more exaggerated. stand up.

Not long after, its price quickly broke through 1000 million star coins, heading towards 2000 million.

Cordler felt like he was going crazy.

He took the initiative to contact Marshal Luke and asked him if he knew the origin of the item.

Marshal Luke is also investigating this matter, and his report is very detailed: "This creature is from the fortress next door. I heard that it has been captured for a long time, but it has not been sold because the price is too high. , but the buyer didn't know what was going on, so he turned around and put it on the auction, because the analyst believed that the possibility of failing the auction was very high, so he simply put it at the end as a gimmick, but he didn't expect—"

The marshal's tone was full of annoyance, obviously regretting that he was not the one who auctioned this item.

But Special Envoy Kodler felt that he smelled a conspiracy.

However, it is not against him.

But to fight against Butler Chu.

Or the person who bid with Steward Chu.

Te used his clever brain to analyze that someone obviously knew the value of this item, so he bought it first and put it in the auction for Steward Chu to bid with the other party.

But with such a terrible price, it seems that this creature is not simple, and what Butler Chu is doing is not simple either!

Special Envoy Kodler was thinking from the perspective that watching the excitement is not too big of a deal.

Although he was taken advantage of, he was obviously not ready to pay for such a thing.

But Butler Chu was obviously not going to stick to it.

After the price reached 500 million, the frequency and range of his quotations decreased, and when it reached 750 million, Steward Chu looked at the special envoy.

"Can you allow me to connect to the star network?"

"Of course." Envoy Kodler nodded.

He felt that Marshal Luke was really an idiot!Is it not easy for the eldest son of the Thorn family to get on Starnet?Why come to the auction to buy star network connection equipment, isn't the housekeeper directly connected to the Internet now?

——The special envoy didn't know that the marshal also gave the noble young master a "trial item".

Butler Chu got through the communication and reported: "Sorry, the price has exceeded our bottom line, so we can't continue."

"No!" A sharp voice came from the side of the communicator.

Even the electronic sheep couldn't help but take the communicator a little farther away.

It's a pity that the other party obviously has a special speaking skill. The other party actually kept his voice sweet and artificial while screaming, and used the voice of private communication to create an external effect:

"Do you know what that creature means to our Azure Starfield?! It belongs to the Shui Clan...! In short, no matter how much money you spend, you have to take pictures of it, otherwise Chuchu will break up with you on behalf of the entire Starfield!"

"...Is it Miss Chuchu?"

Envoy Kodler easily recognized the owner of the voice?

"Who?" The voice of the mermaid over there suddenly dropped eight degrees and became gentle: "It's disgusting, Mr. Butler, who has a bad heart, didn't tell Chuchu that there are other people."

"I'm Kodler, the special envoy of the Star Empire." The special envoy quickly introduced.

Although he was temporarily distracted by Butler Chu, he was still very interested in this mermaid.

"Special envoy... Your Excellency, it's great that you are here!" The mermaid suddenly became happy when she heard about the identity of the special envoy, "Please tell the great emperor, and ask him to help me save the Holy Spirit of our sea clan." Chuchu will thank him forever!"

"What capricious words are you talking about!" Butler Chu was furious.

The envoy did not refuse.

He remembered Emperor Qunxing's ambiguous attitude when he reported on Chuchu's whereabouts.

He smiled and said, "I'll try it!"

Butler Chu frowned disapprovingly, but he didn't stop him, but raised his card again to add another [-].

At this moment, the bidding for the unknown creature has entered a final stalemate. Only Steward Chu and another distinguished guest of unknown origin are left. The other party obviously does not want to give up. The price has reached around 830 million.

After a while, the special envoy put down the communicator in shock.

He opened his mouth and said in a dry voice, "Your Majesty agrees."

"Huh? Is he crazy?!" the electric sheep yelled out of control for the first time ever.

It wasn't until Special Envoy Kodler looked over in surprise that Steward Chu coughed.

He took a sip of tea in a concealed manner, and tried to restore his usual tone: "I mean, you humans are incredible, so outrageous... Cough, you can also agree to strange requests."

Special Envoy Kodler agreed with the other party's opinion. He had no idea that Emperor Qunxing would agree to such a ridiculous request.

Are the rumors true?

No, even if the rumors are true, it is outrageous for His Majesty the Emperor to agree.

The envoy thought strangely.

The mermaid over there seems to have confirmed the gossip: "Wow, I knew he loved me!" She said triumphantly, and ordered the electronic sheep steward to say: "Did you hear that? Honestly take a picture of it for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

Butler Chu said helplessly, he turned around and raised the price by 50.

This time the rate was not as high as the initial price, but it was enough to suppress the opponent's will, and the strange aquatic creature was finally taken down by Steward Chu.

And with such a scene in the middle, the subsequent auction items seemed not enough to watch.

The final finale item—the star intelligence core—seemed to be nothing.

After several people bid, it was sold at a very ordinary price of 900 million star coins. Butler Chu seemed to have some data confusion due to the addition of the star emperor, and he didn't even participate in the final auction.

Special Envoy Kodler adjusted his mood faster than Butler Chu.

He valued the mermaid Chuchu more than before!

Not only that, but also more interested in the project that Steward Chu participated in!

The known condition is that the eldest son of the Thorn family hired Steward Chu to develop the planet, and Chu Chu joined in. It is only a bit unusual business cooperation to this point, but after Steward Chu bids for aquatic creatures, and the mermaid Chu Chu is behind the scenes, it is basically confirmed that, There is also a third force involved in the development of this planet:

Azure Starfield!

Of course, there may be the Emperor of Stars!

The special envoy thought about it five hundred times, but he didn't think that his wise majesty would pay almost 2000 million star coins for a mermaid just because of emotional problems. It can only be said that the emperor also knew what the Thorn family was doing.

It must be so!

In this way, is there any possibility of failure in the planet development project hosted by the two Wang Yinming civilizations?

For the first time, Special Envoy Kodler became interested in the legendary pioneering planet, and he couldn't wait to see it.

Of course, at the end of the auction, Special Envoy Kodler did not forget to settle all the bills, including the pile of items that Steward Chu had bought before.

Steward Chu was absent-minded until the special envoy paid the money, and then said disapprovingly, "I bid on those..."

"You're welcome, His Majesty the Emperor will pay the bill anyway!" Special Envoy Kodler laughed, he would not miss such a good opportunity to show his favor!

What's more, he is confident this time:

This time it's really all reimbursed!

——As for all the items that Steward Chu bought were reimbursed, only the expensive can of tea bought by the special envoy himself was rejected because it was a personal item, which is not worth mentioning.

Butler Chu is not hypocritical.

Anyway, in the end, all the expensive things are paid for, and the "little things" in front of them don't matter at all.

He politely made an appointment with the special envoy, and after inviting him to come to the space port for a "visit", he rejected the special envoy's farewell, and returned to the owner with the aquatic life tank in his arms, ending the meeting decently.

"So, what is this creature? Why can it be worth 900 million!"

Afterwards, the soul of Shattered King Seal asked.

The creature was still lying dying at the bottom of the tank, not showing much gas.

"No, we bought it back, and it's only worth [-] star coins, because it's said to come from the Azure Starfield." Chu Ci corrected.

That's right, the one who bought this aquatic creature and put it up for auction was Chu Ci himself.

The one bidding in the middle is also the Shattered King Seal.

To put it bluntly, this is a self-directed and self-acted game.

The Shattered King Seal looked like the world view was collapsed because of this: "But it earned us 1000 million 900 million!"

"It's less than 900 million, only 880 million. If the handling fee is not deducted," Chu Ci said here, and whistled, "It's really an auspicious number suitable for fraudsters. If you take another Apple Computers are more real."

Broken Wang Yin couldn't understand Chu Ci's cold joke.

"However, I really didn't expect that the big guy would be willing to pay the money." Chu Ci concluded.

"Could it be that His Majesty Qunxing really likes you?" Broken Wang Yin gossiped.

"How is it possible, I haven't seen him at all," Chu Ci said coldly, "He's just Chuchu's netizen."

"Netizen?"

"Yes, the kind specially for rewards." Chu Ci said.

Although there is a reward, it is not enough to give that much.

Therefore, according to Chu Ci's original plan, he was not prepared to ask the Emperor Qunxing to pay, but he knew that "Chuchu's face" could make His Majesty the emperor willing to talk a few words, and the other party estimated that [-]% of them might refuse with "the elegance of the stars and nobles" Chu Chu, but this is enough, the emperor's willingness to say a few words is enough for the special envoy to re-evaluate Chu Chu's value.

Then according to the special envoy's brain, it should be possible to deduce that there is a shadow of the "blue star field" behind it.

With this premise, what he really wants to get from the special envoy is pretty sure.

Of course, it's pretty safe now.

Also skipped a step.

——After buying this unlucky aquatic creature, because no one paid for it, there would be a scene of the aquatic creature "disappearing for no reason". Steward Chu should have strongly demanded that Space Fortress investigate this matter. By the way, add a few The communication account of the person in charge of the fortress.

Now it seems that this step can only be omitted.

Chu Ci curled his lips regretfully, and said to the aquatic creatures: "Anyway, you are still back in my hands——I also got a lot of star coins because of you, so I can buy better genetic adjustment fluids, you really Do you want to give up treatment?"

"..." The aquatic creatures ignored Chu Ci and buried their heads in their bodies.

Chu Ci sighed.

When he planned the scam, because he couldn't guarantee the survival rate of the creature in the plan, he bought a creature that couldn't be saved—that is, the creature couldn't survive in the first place.

Chu Cibai received a large sum of money and wanted to take care of him at the end of life, but the other party didn't appreciate it.

"Forget it, the sacrifice is done."

Chu Ci said, carrying the water tank to the altar.

The Broken King Seal yelled: "Wait? Don't let it live for two more days? Anyway, it's 900 million!"

"I'm afraid they only want euthanasia!" Chu Ci shook his head.

He had tested this creature, and the silvery white color of the creature was not born, but because of the falling scales. The creature should be suffering from pain every second, so euthanasia might not be a good thing.

The creature obviously thought so, and let Chu Ci end its life without struggling.

And the next moment after the sacrifice was completed, the text on the altar was updated:

[Registration of new species: mutant sea snake]

【Civilization Points 100】

[The following fragments have entered the altar of society]

【Dragon★★★★】

"Huh?" Chu Ci's eyes widened.
