Wen Luan never made a life plan for himself. He lived in an ordinary western town for 20 years before his life. Life here was repeated every day, and he rarely saw strangers.

Even if there are strange and lost people who come to Meteorite Town, it is impossible for them to stay in this featureless, barren and desolate town, so the outsiders always leave very quickly, sometimes so fast that Wen Luan doesn't even know how they got there , but it has nothing to do with his life.

Meteorite Town is very remote, and the name of the company responsible for iron ore mining is a word that Wen Luan can't spell, because the ore source is gradually exhausted, and it has been resold two or three times-"Which company, who knows?" Bald Jim yelled in the tavern However, "Those businessmen from the east coast, what kind of shares, subsidiaries... It's too complicated! Anyway, as long as you have money, you can get the money, and it doesn't matter who you give it to."

Jim's words were unanimously agreed by the townspeople and miners, and after that, no one asked such questions again.

The difficulty of the courses in the public schools in small towns is very low. Even if you don’t go to class all day, as long as you have a smart mind and understand the entire book before the exam, you can basically get a graduation certificate.Such a certificate can only be an ordinary worker in the United States, but it is enough in Meteorite Town. Wen Luan doesn't need to have any life plan, he just needs to drive a bus.

The problem is that he doesn't have a bus to drive now. This is an extragalactic galaxy N light years away from the earth. The way he can choose now is to follow Jim to become an interstellar pirate. Spectrum" high-end armor.

Always feel something is wrong.

Wen Luan lay in the rest cabin, staring at the top of the spaceship in a daze.

"Hey, we are going to enter the space jump point, follow me into the safety cabin!" Jim slammed the door open again, shouting loudly.

Wen Luan stood up and found that Shier was still floating in front of the porthole in the shape of a metal ball, so he naturally used the posture of shooting a basketball, hooked his arm, and grabbed it.

Sear opened and closed the electronic eyes causing the spaceship to shake slightly, but Jim didn't notice it, because his spaceship was too broken and something would happen all the time.

"Where are you going?" Wen Luan asked.

"No no, my friend, it should be 'Where are we going'." Jim, always rude but hardly annoying, laughed loudly and gave a thumbs-up, "Trust me, it's definitely the beginning of a good life Let's go, great life!"

In the words of the Orientals, Wen Luan felt that he had been on a thief ship since he hit Jim at the Deep Blue Star Port ==

"What is the daily life of a star pirate?"

"Replace Meteorite Town with a battleship, just like that one, stay together for a long time, do your job well." Jim said triumphantly, "What do you think, do we need to rob with knives? No, no, we can only carry laser cannons at most, if you don’t want to, you don’t need to take on the job of robbery, of course, the money you get is less.”

"Is there no risk of being besieged?"

"My God, my God!"

Jim exaggeratedly said, "Do you think we kill people? No, no, we only want goods and valuables. There are not many safe routes in the universe, especially for cross-galaxy merchants. You must go to a stable one with special maintenance and inspection. Space jump point. There are too many countries in the Moby Dick galaxy, you know, the distance that can be solved by one space jump point, because of the national border, oh, it takes several times to jump, and the usage fee of each space jump point is It's not low, plus taxes—it's better to go to our pirate territory."

Jim clenched his fists and showed a "friendly" smile, but his appearance was still too ferocious: "Only rob 5.00% of the cargo, hey, we are interstellar pirates with professional ethics! If those merchant ships have enough speed to escape, We won't chase them down either, we all rely on technology to make a living!"

"..."

Jim led Wen Luan to the end of the passage, opened a hatch, and strode in first.

Wen Luan asked Xi Er through spiritual connection: "What kind of place is this?"

"The equipment of this spaceship is very poor. When jumping in space, the life on the spaceship must enter the isolation compartment to avoid danger." The metal ball spun around and answered slowly.

"Why is your voice so slow?"

To Wen Luan, Xier's voice now is like a cassette record, spelling out a sentence intermittently and with great effort.

"My thinking module was overloaded just now, occupying other programs." Xier continued to tape.

Wen Luan subconsciously asked: "Thinking about the second step of your 'Goal of Stars and Seas'?"

"No, I saw something that I shouldn't have seen." Xier murmured.

"..."

Wen Luan's thoughts were distorted along with this ambiguous sentence, he didn't know that mechas also have the hobby of peeping into the privacy of human beings.

"Is the world we see with our eyes real? In addition to humans, there are demons in the world? Why are there no gods if there are demons? If there are gods, the gods in the lost civilization said, 'Those who think have souls', So do I have a soul too, and where did my soul come from?"

OTZ, Wen Luan realized that he was very wrong.

The system is almost "I think, therefore I am", where is the privacy of human beings, this is the realm of philosophy.He really wanted to protest to the Deep Blue Kingdom, don't build mechas with such a high IQ, you see, something went wrong!

"Don't worry, everything in this safety cabin is normal." Before Wen Luan's black line asked questions, Shier slowly confirmed the safety of the isolation cabin.

Therefore, Wen Luan didn't want to disturb the mech to think about the profound topic of "soul and meaning of existence". He put down his vigilance and continued to talk to Jim to inquire about the situation.

Various facts show that Jim really has no malice towards him.

Rude Jim may be able to tell lies, but it is too difficult for him to cover up his murderous intent and pretend to be kind, and Wen Luan's intuition did not jump out to warn him. With the intention of leaving the Deep Blue Kingdom as soon as possible, Wen Luan certainly hopes to run as far as possible the better.

It didn't take long for Jim to close the door of the isolation cabin, and the whole spaceship was jolted. Wen Luan leaned against the bulkhead, his face turned pale, and he almost vomited. His last meal was hard snow wolf meat with ice cubes on the ice field. It can be called tooth-destroying indigestion level, and I don't know if it's because it's been eight hours since now that he can't vomit, or because his stomach is completely tough, and Wen Luan feels sick to his stomach, but he can't even spit out the acidic water.

Compared with him, Jim was much more relaxed. He even let his body shake with the bumps of the spaceship, humming a song, and said loudly: "It's okay, it's like this for the first time! Do you need a piece of chewing candy? friend?"

"No...don't tell me what to eat."

With a pale face, Wen Luan half bent over and sat down on the ground against the bulkhead.

"Then let's have a chat!" Jim seemed to see Wen Luan's thoughts, he grinned, patted the bulkhead and said, "Don't worry, no matter how broken my ship is, the compartment for space jumping is definitely a good thing, this is I dismantled it from a scrapped merchant ship last time. It is sturdy and durable! Except for the bumps, there is no other problem. You can even enjoy the wonderful feeling of shaking the muscles and internal organs of the whole body, fighting from fist to flesh. Still enjoyable."

"..."

Wen Luan thought blackly, after all these years, Jim is still a violent maniac.

Uh, by the way, there seemed to be a lot of violent madmen in Meteorite Town back then?Jim is one, as is the car mechanic who lives next door, and those idle young people——Wen Luan thought about it, and felt that it was a problem of Western race, all of them were tall, muscular, and liked violent rugby Contest.

Chatting is a good idea, at least it can distract the pain, but Wen Luan thinks that he needs to change the subject: "Is this the space jumping point?"

"Yes."

"You just said that you need to pay a fee to use the space jump point? I didn't see you dock?"

"Oh, this is the cute and hateful place of the Deep Blue Kingdom!" Jim continued to jump in the cabin, and said happily, "You only need to pay the fee when you go to the Deep Blue Star, and you don't need to pay when you leave. Even within a day, with When the deep blue star leaves the port, it will give you a spaceship number at the interstellar network level, and any space jump point you travel through the Beluga galaxy will be free."

"Then why hate it?" Isn't that nice?

"God, you really don't understand the vicious psychology of the Deep Blue Kingdom!" Jim said bitterly, "It's going to empty your pockets and drain your last money. Think about it, when you don't even go home When you don’t need to prepare the travel expenses, can you still be sober and rational? You will buy extravagantly, play extravagantly, without any scruples!”

"..."

"As for letting other kingdoms go free, in the distance of a day's interstellar voyage, even if you add space jumps, how can there be any forces that dare to openly oppose the dark blue kingdom?" Jim hummed, "The ideal fallen garden, the dark desire Heaven, what a wonderful city Deep Blue Star is! Come and bless it to exist forever."

Wen Luan silently rolled his eyes.

At this time, the spaceship stopped bumping, Wen Luan got up sweating, and asked about today's dinner a little tiredly—well, damn it, in this pitch-black universe, it’s hard to tell whether it’s morning or evening—or Where is today's food?

As a result, Jim shook his head decisively:

"There's no food on board, and I don't think you'll need it?"

Before Wen Luan had time to ask why, the spaceship that was jolting again made him instantly stiff, and asked through gritted teeth, "How many jump points do we still have to pass?"

"Seven!" Jim looked at him sympathetically, "Don't you really want a piece of chewing gum? It works very well, just like chewing gum on an airplane 2000 years ago."

Flying like this for a period of time, 10 minutes of severe turbulence, and flying for a period of time, the body that has not recovered is tortured by the turbulence again.

Wen Luan, who was lying on the ground in a daze, thought bitterly, at most he could only drive the town bus like a kangaroo jumping on the road, but the isolated cabin of this broken spaceship was bouncing around like an inflatable ball.

Is Jim taking revenge on him?

Looking at the narrow smile of the bald man, Wen Luan decided that he must make Jim regret it in the future!With no bus running, he would think of other ways to "pay back" for today's hospitality.

When the hatch opened, Wen Luan didn't get up.

After the spaceship flew steadily for 10 minutes, Wen Luan still felt like he was in ecstasy (confused).

Until a grinning voice came out of the spacecraft communication system:

"Dear sir or madam, welcome to the land of interstellar pirates, please leave something to commemorate, you see, in the vast universe, we have met unexpectedly, what a wonderful fate. Please rest assured, we are a civilization of the new era Pirates, have a good work ethic, if you are lost, hand in your belongings and we will help you find your way home, if you are passing by..."

Jim trudged to the cockpit and called:

"Can't you see, I'm Jim! This is my spaceship!"

"Damn! Why are you wasting your feelings, get out of here!" The robbing voice was very depressed.

Jim pressed the screen cautiously, seeing Wen Luan lying in the isolation compartment in a daze, looking not sober, Jim heaved a sigh of relief, and changed the communication channel from the entire spaceship to the secret channel (such as hands-free order exchange). people to answer), and then whispered: "Prince Settra, haven't you been notified by the Dark Council?"

"Yes." The voice declaring the robbery became lazy again, "Otherwise, as the prince of the Bruch family, why would I come to guard the time-space jump point to rob? It really doesn't fit my identity, I robbed The targets are usually organized legions. How do I know your broken spaceship... How is the situation?"

"all the best."

"The Dark Parliament wants my Bruch family to take full responsibility, hmph, full responsibility."

Jim scratched his bald head: "Oh, actually, we believe that His Majesty Prince must have a way to deal with the Eastern Devils, and I will leave it to you later. Anyway, we just need to continue to be pirates seriously. The Moby Dick galaxy is so big, Wen won't want to go there We must insist on smearing Meredith City in front of Deep Blue Star, a place of depravity and indulgence, anyway, he is an Easterner, a conservative Easterner, right!"

"Very well, it's such a happy decision."

The author has something to say: note, Wen Luan's special ability is only effective in dreams, or when his life is in danger ╮(╯_╰)╭So he is miserable at this time.
