Chapter 90： stage fright violinist

The largest department store in Newnes, the first star of Storm Star, Lane's parents used a shopping guide robot to lead the way. They have been shopping in the mall for nearly an hour. In the past, father Qin Yi didn't bother to go shopping in the mall. He felt that it was a waste of time. Isn't it bad for purposeful shopping? Is online shopping bad? Is it bad to stay at home and have afternoon tea? In the past, my mother Paley said that I was going to go shopping, and my father always stayed in the waiting area, boringly surfing the star network to watch news and videos Several famous novels, he drank hard in this environment. down.

The waiting area of ​​the shopping mall is also called the "husband sustenance place". When the wives return with a full load, they can take their bored husbands home.

Today, his father Qin Yi did not become one of them. He took the initiative to take his mother to the mall when he learned that the little grandson was coming. The Newnes Department Store has a 20-story shopping area, covering all aspects of life, from large civilian mechas to small bath towels, and every item on each floor can be seen, and it does not take a week. Don't try to do it. Faced with a dazzling array of commodities, it is impossible to start and you want every one. Probably this is the fun of shopping.

After Mom and Dad came, they went straight to the children's area on the seventh floor to see all kinds of beautiful and cute little clothes and toys. A shopping cart behind him is full. Mom and Dad looked at each other silently, then smiled in unison.

Dad Qin Yi, "We seem to have taken twenty sets of clothes alone."

Mom Paley: "I took sixteen of the same ball toys because of different colors."

"Tuantuan is a boy, I even took a unicorn castle, it's still pink..."

"Tuantuan is just over a year old and can't use the aircraft, so I actually took it."

"..."

"..."

This is irrational consumption, but knowing that the little grandson is coming, they are so excited that they have lost their reason. Forget it, they have taken everything they have, and they simply buy them all home, which is good!

Then they came to the children's food area on the eighth floor. When they left, there was another car behind them. The shopping cart was filled with food that was generally suitable for children. correspondingly, in the interstellar age, the more pure and natural things are, the more expensive they are.

Who made them rich!

Half of the compensation was donated, and half of it was taken back, which was still a huge amount. Dad took the money to update all the machinery of the E69 planting star, including agricultural equipment and security devices, and bought a lot of cost-effective weapons under Ryan's suggestion, which is regarded as arming the planting star to the teeth. In addition, we expanded the storefront on Planet Newnes, and bought the fruit and vegetable direct-sale store on the eighth floor in the central city of the capital city without blinking. If it goes up, after three or four years, you may be able to earn back the money from buying the store.

The rest of the money, Dad made long-term investments, bought a few stable funds and bought some real estate and plots with appreciation potential, and did not spend it casually.

"Would you like to go upstairs again?" Mama Pei used her personal terminal to look at the shopping mall's recommendation list, and she was still very interested in some things.

Dad, whose shopping enthusiasm was a little hesitant, hesitated a little, "..."

Mom rolled her eyes reluctantly, "I know, I'm too lazy to pay attention to me after buying things for Tuantuan."

"How could it be!" Father Qin Yi immediately denied it, answering too quickly but with some guilty conscience.

"Then accompany me to look at clothes, department stores, and on the 20th floor to see agricultural and sideline products."

Dad felt that his calf was twisted a little, and it was a lot easier to think about it, but he still insisted, "I should do it for the lady."

Mom couldn't help laughing, pretending that she didn't see the shaking of the muscles on Dad's face. It was rare to take her husband to the mall. Of course, she had to send enough. I don't know when the next time will be.

In the next four hours, except for lunch time, I was walking around. The number of steps recorded by the personal terminal had exceeded 20,000, and was approaching 30,000. When it was about 30,000, my parents' personal terminals rang at the same time, yes According to the message from Ryan, they are still 30,000 light-years away from the E69 planting star, and they can go home for dinner at night.

Mom put down the dress in her hand, made a decision with Dad, and went home!

The little starship was full of things, and the uncle's family who went home together were stunned when they got on the starship. Aunt Ryan said in surprise, "You guys have moved the mall home!"

"Everything looks good, so I can't help but take it home." Mom was sorting out the things she bought, and when she folded her little clothes, she imagined what Tuantuan was wearing, and she couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, "Look, this one Will the clothes look good when they are worn?"

"Good-looking!" Auntie nodded, no one would not like that sensible, well-behaved, delicate and cute little doll.

"Ryan said that Tuan Tuan is interested in brightly colored things, and he definitely likes these little balls."

Auntie looked at the fist-sized floatable ball, brightly colored and tactile, "Tuantuan will like it."

The topic of the elders has been completely irresistible, and Tuan Tuan is sleeping on the cot with his hands spread out. A white winged lion larger than a golden retriever is lying on the bed, and the wings that converge on his side are shaking from time to time. , a snoring sound came from his mouth, there must be a group of baa beasts in Dafu's dream, and let it chase, otherwise why would the claws be slightly scratched?

In the cockpit, the original sitting in the driving position, codenamed Zero sat aside, the star map in front of him was unfolded, the route was calibrated at any time and the surrounding conditions were checked to find out whether there were any suspicious ships. The universe is too big, and not every place is safe. The route they take is a safe route opened up by the imperial army. Compared with other places, this safety must not be taken lightly. Maybe there will be obstacles. Some unprofitable adventurers can turn into wild pirates at any time.

Ryan stood in the middle of the two artificial intelligences, folded his arms and looked out the window and the eternal universe. Some familiar planets became the scenery passing by quickly. He roughly estimated the time to get home in his heart, "Original, it is still a long way from planting stars. how long?"

Yuan Chu said: "At the current speed, there are still forty minutes to reach the outer space station of Planting Star."

"Maintain the current speed." It's about the same time as he estimated in his heart, and he will be able to get home soon.

Originally, "Yes, sir."

Just when Ryan was about to turn around and leave, the codename zero said, "Sir, a suspicious starship was found approaching at 1,500 meters in the direction of ten o'clock."

Ryan raised his eyebrows, "Preliminary investigation."

"Yes." The finger code-named Zero stroked the control panel of the starship twice. A small opening in the abdomen of the little starship opened, and several bee-sized probes flew out. The probes were all black and highly concealed. , and these little things fly very fast and have a strong ability to feedback information. The only disadvantage is that they are one-off. As a by-product of Ryan's beast-type mecha, the detector has applied for a patent and sold it to an official arms company. , made a little money.

1,500 meters away, the probe disguised as cosmic dust quietly approached the starship, took pictures around it, and quickly sent the image to the holographic screen in front of Code Zero. Code Zero adjusted the image with his own little mecha fingers, and they saw The starship that was gradually approaching them was a mid-sized swallow-shaped starship, weighing between 25 and 30 tons, with nine muzzles, six of which were concealed. The windows on the starship have been specially treated so that you can't see what's inside at all. Ryan also used this treatment, so he knows that the coating is very expensive... The people who do this treatment are either rich or hiding something.

"Sir, the distance is getting closer, seven hundred, six hundred, five hundred... what do I need to do?"

At the distance of five hundred, Ryan said decisively: "Warning."

"Yes!" Code Zero quickly pressed a few times on the sub-console of the starship, and several light high-speed guns flew out and exploded in front of the unknown target as a warning. Don't look at the fact that the explosion looks very weak, the interference to the other star ship is obvious, and the star ship suddenly stopped, and the hull vibrated visible to the naked eye.

Auston walked to Ryan's side at some point, lowered his eyes and looked at the picture transmitted by the detector, frowning slightly, the other party opened two hidden ammunition launch ports, filled with ammunition, one of which had half a half on it. The logo looks very familiar. Allston ordered, "Code zero, zoom in on that part."

Code-named Zero Operation and said: "Yes, General. General, that logo is very vague, but after image restoration, it can be determined that it is a half red skull, which is a weapon often used by some wandering pirates. It is said that these weapons are gathered in many pirates. You can buy everything, and some black-hearted arms dealers provide it to the black market."

Both Ryan and Auston know these knowledge points, and the code name zero is just a reminder.

Originally, "There is a signal requesting connection, sir, general, are you connected?"

Ryan smiled lightly under his lips, "Connected, we will do the disguise."

"Yes, sir!"

The video was quickly connected, and in the eyes of the other party, Ryan Fang would be an ordinary-looking, nervous and somewhat restrained image, which was very obscure to everyone. And the other party... Ryan let out a slight snort, turned his head to Auston and said, "Remember this person?"

"The cruise ship Shakespeare." Auston had a good memory and quickly recognized the face that appeared on the video call screen.

On the Shakespeare, they met a small band, the one owned by the official wanted adventurer "Musician" Evan, and there was a violinist who was performing nervous stage fright in public, and landed on a small planet on the way. Some guests asked to perform on the ice, and the small band wore thin clothes to perform in the cold wind. Ryan helped them end the performance as soon as possible with a complaint.

But now, the stage fright violinist has become a self-confident "adventurer", bowing politely towards the camera, "Have a good weekend, gentlemen."

Today is the weekend of Newnes, the first star of Stormwind.

Lane said, "Good afternoon." It was Newnes' weekend afternoon.

The former violinist, now the "adventurer" said with a smile: "We have no ill intentions, we just want some fuel, so we can help? We'll give the money."

Lane, disguised as an ordinary traveler, followed the practice of ordinary people that "one more thing is worse than one less thing", paused for about five or six minutes before giving a reply, "Sorry, our journey is still long." Transactions are easy to attract attacks. The wise thing to do is to hide in the starship and not open half the doors.

"Adventurer" shook his head regretfully, "But we need it very much." A dagger appeared in his hand for some unknown reason. It kept turning at his fingertips, as light as a butterfly, and it could kill someone while talking and laughing. Generally, "The deal is fair, I buy at ten times the market price."

Ryan looked sideways at Auston, squeezed his eyes and said in a hesitant, scared voice, "Okay, okay. Use, what transaction method, method?"

"You just throw the fuel out of the starship, there's no need for a face-to-face deal."

Ryan pretended to be relieved, "That's fine, that's fine."

If you put aside the fact that the other party may be a pirate, this transaction will make a steady profit for Ryan and the others. The fuel is sold for ten times the price, and the fuel can be thrown into the universe, regardless of whether the other party can receive it or not. Coins only need to be transferred to the account. Ryan gave the other party a fake account with a real identity. Twenty seconds after agreeing to the transaction, he was prompted that 50,000 star coins had arrived. A barrel of fuel for space navigation was 5,000 star coins. It was a compressed nuclear fuel and was expensive. , but the price/performance ratio is definitely high... Of course, now is not the time to say this.

After throwing forcefully into the universe, Ryan gave the order, "Retreat as quickly as possible." To act like an ordinary person who is eager to escape when something happens.

In the process of retreating, the other party's star ship did not move at all, and there was no trace of wanting to chase.

"What not to rob?"

Auston: "A little regret?"

"Haha, it doesn't count. If he does it, we have a reason to fight." Ryan said jokingly.

There are children on the starship. Neither Ryan nor Auston are people who take risks on the basis of their own strength. They will never bring their children into a dangerous situation. Therefore, if the other party does anything, they will choose to retreat strategically, unless the other party bites hard. put.

Allston, "Code Zero, how is the detector installed?"

"General, out of the six probes, four have been damaged, and two have been attached to the opposing starship. One minute ago, the signal of one of them was interrupted, and the remaining one was able to transmit a weak signal. "Code Zero replied, the subtext is that these disposable little things are not for tracking, and the weak signal from the last one will be cut off at some point.

Ryan shrugged helplessly, "It seems that we have to find a way to design a second generation to enhance the service life and tracking ability?"

"It's up to you, Mr. Smith."

"Okay, General Dalton, I will do my best for the military."

"Looking forward to your service."

When the child was away, Ryan leaned into Auston's ear and drove a slightly adult-like car, "General, I can also provide some personal services, ensuring meticulous, in-depth, and meaningful."

Auston looked at Ryan in embarrassment, his cheeks flushed uncontrollably, "I'll go see if Tuan Tuan is awake, I seem to hear a sound." He turned around quickly, and walked out in a mess.

The two of them are old couples, and they both have a child. When doing sports that adults cannot describe, they often unlock new poses, but Auston still has a shyness that he can't hide when he talks about it, which makes his heart feel hundreds of times. Year-old Ryan was heartbroken.

Primitive & Code Zero worked intently and earnestly, communicating within the system.

Code Zero: [Mr. is getting more and more open, and he is completely different from the shy and shy young man he saw at the beginning. 】

Yuan Chu: [After all, he is an old man who has lived for hundreds of years. His ability to learn and comprehend is super fast. You don’t even know what he usually reads on the star website. 】

Code Zero was curious, [What are you looking at? No, you actually look at the Internet records of the owners, you are not good, little strawberry. 】

Originally passed a blank expression to the code name zero, as follows: ==.

Originally, it was impossible for me not to read when Mr. asked me to erase the records, you know for nothing. 】Because of the body of the white winged lion beast-type mecha, the codename Zero chose to be defeated confidently, so he has the small nickname of "Baibai".

Code zero, [Oh. 】 He has nothing to say about this nickname, after all, this is the general's choice, and he will unconditionally approve whatever the general chooses.

Yuan Chu continued to talk about the topic just now, ["One Hundred Ways to Flirt with a Man", "Teach You How to Say Love Words Are Not Dirty"... etc., and so on, you know, Mr. has a strong ability to learn and comprehend. 】

Code-named zero, [I see, the general still needs further education in this area. 】

Ryan, who was standing between Yuan Chu and Code Zero, didn't know that the two silent artificial intelligences had already had hundreds of conversations "in his mind". There are too few known conditions, and a correct result cannot be solved. There are several alternatives. 1. A real adventurer? 2. Unorganized wild pirates? 3. Great organized pirates? 4. Officially planted spies?

One or two options can be combined, and the fourth is an alternative answer given by Ryan's beastly intuition. Perhaps the most inconceivable answer is the correct answer? Of course, there is a high probability of intuition being wrong, and Ryan didn't dare to make a deal, just investigate and find out.

It was originally agreed that you can go to the space station outside E69 in 40 minutes. After arriving at the space station, contact the ground control tower and say that you will not be attacked. You can enter the atmosphere of the planting star after receiving the entry command. And now, due to delays on the road, it is already half an hour later than expected.

"Tuantuan, this is our other home. It's a beautiful planting star. Grandparents, great-grandmothers, aunts, and many, many relatives are waiting for us to go home."

After the long-distance cross-star journey, Tuantuan was a little sluggish. The universe is beautiful, but if you look at it every day, every time, and you can see it when you open your eyes, it is not beautiful. It's not like the previous mode of playing while rushing), adults can control their emotions and adjust their personal feelings, but children can't accept such a boring trip at all. It's very, very good that Tuantuan can insist on not crying and not making trouble.

Tuantuan leaned his little head against his father's face, yawned and said, "Oh, go home."

"Yes, we're home. Grandpa and grandma miss you very much."

Tuantuan rolled his eyes, "I miss my grandparents."

"You must tell your grandparents personally. They must be very happy." Ryan turned to look at Auston and Tuantuan.

Tuantuan nodded, "Well, I said."

The little starship cut through the sky, leaving a brilliant "meteor" in the evening sky. It was located in the white house by the lake. Mom and grandma stood at the door and looked up at the sky. Mom Paley said: "Finally home. , I haven't seen Tuantuan for a long time, do you miss us and want to be close to us?"

"I think too much. It was a video five days ago, and the group called us how happy we were."

"Mom, video calls are different from real contact."

"What's the difference?" When they were young, holographic video calls were expensive, and they couldn't be used often. It's not that they would not feel unfamiliar with ordinary video calls.

Mom Paley was a little worried, and to put it bluntly, it was unfounded. "I have a little sister. Her son works in the Capital Star and has settled there. It is rare to come home once a year. She said that she often communicates with her granddaughter and interacts with each other. It's all very good. The child jumps into her arms when he sees her, not to mention how close he is. But when he sees her, the child hides behind his parents, as if he doesn't know each other. There is no way to communicate smell and temperature through phone calls. Children have their own way of distinguishing. My little sister was sad for several days, she sighed a few times when she saw me, and cried several times."

"Thinking!" The grandmother scoffed at this. She raised her head and said proudly, "Can ordinary children compare with us, we are the smartest."

"Of course." The grandmother, who is proud of her grandson, went online, and Paley said, "We are the smartest children, and we will be able to meet soon."

This horse is quite fast. After standing at the door for about ten minutes, they saw a family of three who got off the aircraft 100 meters away. Two small robots with similar images followed behind them, and behind them were pulling luggage. , with a white winged lion the size of a calf flying beside them. Dafu still remembers the happy life of running freely in the planting star. Although many memories have faded, the feeling of freedom will not change. He raised his neck and shouted "Ow Ow" twice, and he already has the might of the future land and air overlord.

"Dafu, let's play, do you remember those little friends?" Pony chestnuts, cows, lambs, shepherd dogs, etc. Dafu made many good friends in Planting Star when he was young.

Dafu tilted his head, a little dazedness in his big eyes, he looked up in a certain direction, and then lowered his head to look at Ryan.

Ryan said, "This is home. Play whatever you want. Go and play."

Dafu shouted softly, fluttered his wings and flew, and soon became a small dot in the eyes of everyone, and then disappeared.

Tuantuan, who had to go down and walk by himself, looked up at Dafu who flew away, and shouted enviously, "Dafu..." He also wanted to fly away.

"When you get older, Daddy will make a seat and put it on Dafu and let it fly around with you."

Tuantuan nodded expectantly, "Mmmm." Then ran to Dad's side and grabbed Dad's hand, "Dad, I, Feifei."

"The group is awesome."

"Whee."

Tuantuan walked happily, kicking his little feet, and soon he saw relatives who came out, especially the grandparents and great-grandmothers. "He shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, great grandma, I miss you all~"
