Chapter 18 Robbery

Where can you get a faster and more comprehensive understanding of an unfamiliar era?

library?No, Wen Luan found that the interstellar pirate's temporary warehouse is more suitable!

Wen Luan was in a strange semi-circular fortress, which was called a "lighthouse" by the pirates. It was a symbol used by interstellar pirates to occupy and divide the robbery area. It also served as a warehouse. The pirates each had spaceships and Space battleships don't live on lighthouses.

But lighthouses are mobile bases for pirates and are always protected at the highest level.

The leader of the interstellar pirates who transferred from an American plantation owner in the 19th century lived on the highest floor of the lighthouse.His subordinates not only have octopuses, but also many other intelligent species, all kinds of strange things.

According to Syl, "the virtue of the noble has no borders, it can overcome the discrimination of race and color, and let a group of people live together. However, the irony is that the greed of the despicable also has the same effect."

Wen Luan felt that this mecha had gone forever on the path of a philosopher.

Like the Caesar octopus, there are only a few pirates who speak standard English and have friendly conversations with the robbed. Most of the interstellar pirates are still unbearably rude.

Wen Luan saw with his own eyes that the pilot of a small space fighter jet lost in a certain country was forcibly intercepted by pirates.

According to the 5.00% robbery principle, the pirates dismantled the backup navigator of the fighter plane, and then used laser weapons to intimidate the victim not to move. buttons.

A dozen buttons and navigators were thrown into the warehouse like this.

Are the pirates short of buttons?Certainly not.

"We are pirates with good professional ethics!" Caesar Octopus waving its tentacles and exaggeratedly shouted, "How can we not snatch the victim's things because they are worthless? This is against professional ethics!"

"..."

Therefore, it is really not surprising that the temporary warehouses of the pirates will become garbage dumps.

There are even worse cases, such as the victims of civil interstellar flights, floating in space in a rescue capsule, and were "rescued" by pirates.

The pirates dragged the rescue capsule to the temporary residence, politely told the direction of the victim, and provided the worst concentrated food pills and water. When the victim was so grateful, the pirates rushed forward and stripped the guy naked , laughed and told the trembling victims, "We are pirates, my dear, what a fate it is to meet in the vast universe", and then threw the victims with their rescue capsules into another merchant ship they had just robbed I did not forget to wave my hand to say goodbye, "Next time you are in an accident, you must remember to pass by us. Hey, I will give you a discount for acquaintances, and I promise not to strip you naked next time. I will leave you a pair of socks."

"You can't ask all pirates to be as knowledgeable as I am!" Octopus Pirate said triumphantly, "There are too many types of goods in the interstellar runner, for example, there is a rare energy mine that looks like a rotten stone. As a pirate, you must Only by grabbing everything can the loss be minimized.”

The hard currency that can be used as money, such as precious metal energy blocks, is not stored in the temporary warehouse, and it has entered the top level of the lighthouse early.The rest were all messes, and the octopus pulled the mountain of garbage, and introduced the job content to Wen Luan conscientiously: "So, as a qualified temporary warehouse manager, you need the ability to distinguish these things."

"..."

When Wen Luan found out about this job, even if he worked for another 300 years, he would not be able to become a regular assistant to Caesar.

— This guy has eight hands!Can this work efficiency be compared?

A terrifying mountain of rubbish piled up, and this guy sorted it out neatly after a busy work.

Things that can be sold on the black market for money, things that can be disassembled and wait for the spaceship to be damaged for repair and replacement, and special good things that need to be handed over to the pirate leader. Even the currencies of various countries are divided into N types by Caesar Octopus based on the common currency area. The public warehouses of the pirates, with labels on them, are convenient for use when doing business in these countries.

"What should we do with these?" Wen Luan stared at the largest pile of things in the warehouse that were completely useless.

Many of the things pirates robbed were indeed rubbish, such as buttons or clothes.

Caesar glanced casually, shaking his tentacles:

"Planets sold to lower civilizations."

The octopus pulled out a map and told Wen Luan which galaxies were still developing intelligent civilizations in the ignorant period. In the primitive society, a little garbage can be exchanged for a large amount of raw ore, precious metals, and food.

Clothes and the like should be sold to places where wars have been raging all year round.

The most broken spaceship screws can also be sold to planets that have just explored the universe and don't even know how to build spaceships!Big price!Can be exchanged for many souvenirs!

"We are interstellar pirates with professional ethics. We only rob in the universe and never go beyond the boundary!" Caesar Octopus said proudly, "We must protect the lower civilizations, my dear partners, they are our future robbery targets. The ancient earth people said, sustainable development."

"But I don't understand, why do you succeed every time you do business?" Wen Luan asked suspiciously, "Such as spaceship screws, isn't there any other technologically advanced country to do business with?"

"Oh!"

The octopus pirates rolled with laughter: "Could it be that their army and merchant ships can pass through the surveillance of neighboring countries on a large scale and go to remote low-level civilizations to do business? This is not worth the loss! Only we pirates can recklessly cross these borders and sail In any corner of this wonderful starry sky!"

The big octopus jumped onto the wreckage of a flying saucer, its body color turned bright gold, its big eyes shone with wisdom, and it howled imposingly: "Only science and pirates have no borders!"

"..."

Unfortunately, Wen Luan sprained his ankle, and the pain caused him to regain consciousness in an instant.

What kind of world is this?

Picking up a mech and wanting to conquer the stars and the sea, I finally met an acquaintance who was a pirate. In this era, I was looking for a place to dawdle temporarily, and I met such a colleague who was brainwashed by the pirate profession.

The most embarrassing thing is that Seier kept applauding in the spiritual link.

"That's right, you're right!"

"Master, will you stay? I found that I can copy a lot of information here, which is helpful for me to upgrade the intelligence center. There are also a lot of components here, and I can convert energy sources to supplement it myself."

Seeing that Ser was about to add the word pirate to the most ideal profession in the universe, Wen Luan hurriedly called a stop. He had already discovered that Ser had a special approval for adventure plans and passionate stories. Where did the scientist who built this mecha come from? What are you thinking?

——Actually, it was because after Syer turned on the phone.Misjudging Wen Luan as a missing population, he copied all the missing population files of the Beluga Galaxy.Almost every "lost population" will tell about their unique origins, evocative experiences, sweet and sad love, and occasionally there are two lost populations who finally stayed in the dark blue star (the blood race who took this opportunity to mix into human society), and also They are all successful people with elegant words and profound academic knowledge, and their struggle experiences are as perfect as the protagonists of novels.

Xier, who was influenced by the first copy of the boot file, became what he is now.

The octopus pirate was very surprised when he saw this metal ball for the first time, because he didn't recognize what it was, so Wen Luan could only bite the bullet and repeat the lie of "Deep Blue Star's latest optical brain".

Unexpectedly, the two chatted together immediately.

Three days later, Wen Luan who woke up in a daze couldn't bear it any longer: "You guys never stopped?

The sier metal ball twirls, and the chubby octopus Caesar also twirls to express shaking his head.

"Caesar, don't you need to sleep?"

"Yes." The octopus replied happily, "The successful evolution of our intelligent life is to extend the lifespan and evolve a second brain. We don't need to rest in our life, and the brain is used in rotation, so that we can enjoy more life time. , to learn more knowledge, which is why the leader, Sir Setra, appointed me as the warehouse supervisor."

"..." Wen Luan was defeated.

After deciding to ignore those two completely, Wen Luan's life gradually got on the right track: when he had nothing to do, he used the language machine to learn the common language of the Beluga Galaxy, and when he had something to do, he followed Caesar to identify the pirate's booty and organize the warehouse.

Wen Luan also picked up a small ray gun from the pirate's arsenal for self-defense, and occasionally stood in the corridor in front of the warehouse to watch the pirates' robbery.For him, it was a layman watching the excitement. When the conflict was fierce, all kinds of artillery fire exploded in the vast and dark space of the universe, which was more beautiful than fireworks.

Few people are stubborn. People in the Beluga Galaxy are always more aware of current affairs, and they surrender when they find that they cannot be defeated. Therefore, Wen Luan has never seen the tragedy of a heroic and desperate fight. What he sees every day is farce.

Things like shaving off 5.00% of the hair of the robbed target, and taking a few needles of blood, it really happened. When the pirates were bored, they would even completely dismantle the victim’s spaceship and reassemble it. The excuse is that the victim Hide belongings.After the reassembly process, some spare instruments and components that would not affect flight safety were detained.

Just when Wen Luan suspected that he might have lived like this temporarily enough to understand all the common sense of this era, Shier was also quietly observing Wen Luan, and it also tried to mention Wen Luan's snow wolf fur that mysteriously disappeared, but Wen Luan didn't know what to do after that. On the second day, he completely forgot about it, was at a loss for Syer's question, and thought that his clothes were lost in the port of Deep Blue Star, and he was wearing the clothes given by Jim.

"That must be an important, very unusual secret!" Ser thought seriously.

Deep Blue Star, the owner of Raymond Gayton, a pirate who deceived Wen Luan with lies, seemed to take care of him, but in fact completely confined Wen Luan here!A very clever house arrest technique, so this is definitely a conspiracy!

"Insufficient intelligence to analyze."

Shier chose to wait for the changes to happen, but as for telling Wen Luan the truth?It doesn't know the truth yet.

Time slipped by like this, and Seir silently recorded:

——Today, my master yawned four times within an hour, which is very abnormal.Maybe what the pirates said was true?

Wen Luan still has a correct learning attitude towards new and interesting things. After all, he has to find a way to adapt to this era and survive.Recently, he has been seriously tinkering with the control cabin of the armed robot, but he looks listless and drowsy.

Seven days later, Wen Luan's symptoms became more serious. He leaned weakly on a spaceship soft chair disassembled by the pirates, and was hit in the head by the language learning machine one after another. The last time he failed to get up, he fell asleep holding the instrument. .

When the pirates came out to work, the food was very bad, only compressed food pills of various flavors and compressed solid water, Wen Luan also ate less and less, and his sleep time gradually increased from seven hours to one day and one night.

"According to what I know about intelligent species..." The octopus moved in front of the sleeping Wen Luan, scratched his head with its tentacles, and widened his eyes, "Only species that get rid of the constraints of the original environmental conditions can develop intelligent civilizations. How could Wen Luan?" Are you hibernating? Do humans need to hibernate?"

Humans certainly don't.

But an ordinary human would definitely not eat dreams.What exactly is Wen Luan?

"Insufficient information, insufficient information." Xier muttered.

Although Wen Luan slept deeply, his mental fluctuations were always strong, which was why Xi Er was not in a hurry.Various data showed that Wen Luan showed no signs of dying.

Just when Syer was about to take necessary measures, Jim ran over excitedly.

"Hi Wen?"

Wen Luan didn't respond, even his breathing became slow.

Xie Er watched quietly, Wen Luan's mental fluctuations were already multiplying, if this guy dared to make any crooked ideas, he would definitely die——

"boom!"

Jim was thrown out horizontally. In mid-air, Jim's body was raised like ramen noodles, with thick hair growing all over his body, and his head was covered with spots.

Caesar, who was tidying up the warehouse, rushed over with his tentacles in surprise, only to see that Wen Luan was in a coma, floating from the chair at all unlike a human, with his eyes closed, and his hands and feet were still drooping.

"Damn—" the octopus screamed, turned its head and ran, bumped into Seir halfway, and the two balls rolled into a ball.

Seir also felt bad. Its self-awareness was being slowly suppressed by orders from the highest authority. The entire metal ball was boiling hot instantly, the octopus pirate screamed, the spacesuit was burned through, and a smell of barbecued seafood came out. .

"pat"

The metal ball disintegrated completely, turning into irregular metal blocks.

At the same time, the messy components in the warehouse, the spaceship's spare equipment, and the wreckage of the armed robot also flew out with the bombs, spinning around Seir.

Shier received a vague but very strong will.

Wen Luan has its highest authority, and Shier can only obey.

So after Jim was dazed for three seconds, he howled "Prince Settra, run away, it's not good", a knight in silver-white armor appeared, his handsome face, and the blue electronic eyes directly turned into He turned black, and said without emotion: "Sier, [-]% activated, confirmed, the ultimate combat state!"

With a "bang", the silver armored knight disintegrated again, and countless fragments slammed into the warehouse wall, followed by the deformation of the ground, and some places seemed to be folded in half, turning into a ridiculous right angle. The suspended components just now , including Wen Luan and Jim with their weapons, were swallowed by the distorted wall.

The pirates who happened to be on this "lighthouse" were terrified and held on to the shaking bulkhead.

The interior of this space fortress they are familiar with is like a sand sculpture suddenly turned into a child's play, being twisted and twisted at will.The copper buckles on their clothes, even the silver rings on their belts, the gold necklaces around their necks, and everything related to metal rushed out.

Someone roared and took out the weapon. It is conceivable that the alloy barrel of the weapon flew first, then the parts, and the energy block in the weapon emitted a dazzling blue light and was sucked away. In the end, only the energy cannon was left in their hands. shoulder strap, or a leather case that is not made of metal.

"boom!"

The floor caved in, and it was as if they had fallen into a dark pipe, and ended up rolling half dead into a large, dark room.Octopus pirates and Jim suffered the same treatment.

"No, no, the leader's energy block warehouse!" Caesar screamed. Before he called in, the last thing he saw was a frightening and dazzling blue light flickering above the ceiling. This was the color of the energy block being activated. Such a large scale , enough to blow up half of the entire star system.

Outside the lighthouse, the pirates happily driving their spaceships to rob all looked back at their base dully, but the semi-circular space fortress had been completely deformed.

First came a beautiful silver horseshoe.

Then there was the vigorous muscular form, shining with metallic luster, the phantom mane, the high raised head, and the huge wings combined like sharp blades, which flapped slightly.

It's only half the size of the original Battlestar, but one of Pegasus' feathers is still bigger than Jim's spaceship.

Pegasus was a knight in silver armor, with a tall and straight figure, slowly stretching out his hand, and amidst the terrifying energy fluctuations, the silver knight's spear gradually took shape.

In the pitch-black starry sky, the silver-armored knight riding a Pegasus slowly raised his head like this, and suddenly opened his black eyes!
