A semi-open-air Bird's Nest restaurant.
The planet is the moon, and the fireflies are the lamps.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is very romantic, and it feels like going on a first date with the lover of your dreams.
However, Lu Chen brought two women.
The restaurant is in a suspended box on the edge of a tree branch.
A woman wearing a black armor mask, only showing her white chin and flaming red lips, was sorting paper copy at the dining table.
In this era, few people use paper anymore...
She seems to be a very traditional female editor.
However, she was wearing a tight black leather outfit, and there was a whip with a hook on the table.
Pretty good at playing.
Also wearing a tight-fitting black leather jacket, this woman's figure was not as good as Gloria's. She was on the slender side, but her curves were very prominent, and she insisted on not showing them.
But it’s cool.
Until the item identification in Lu Chen's mind revealed: This is a scorpion woman with a cultivation level of fifty-two!
Lu Chen stared at the whip on the table, dumbfounded.
It’s actually a woman’s scorpion tail!
Gloria didn't care and took her seat directly, sitting across from the round table facing the woman.
Lu Chen did not sit down immediately, but asked:
"Are you the editor of the Commonwealth Free Star, Scorpio?"
The woman raised her head, perhaps because she was a humanoid, and the first thing she looked at was Ellie, and she looked at her for a long time.
Then he looked at Gloria again.
Finally it was Lu Chen's turn.
"It's Scorpio. The editor is only part-time. His job is the captain of the ninth ship of the Guernica Beast Control Corps."
Lu Chen and the other three looked shocked.
Lu Chen suddenly remembered the rumors on the Internet: The Guernica Beast Taming Group was a semi-official adventure group secretly supported by the federation. It was a national team and it was considered a real deal.
A captain of the ninth ship has fifty-level cultivation...
It seems that the strength of the Guernica Beast Control Group is much stronger than Lu Chen previously imagined.
The woman lowered her head and flipped through the information of the three people, and read in an almost cold and calm tone:
"Original Star Adventure Group, won first place in the historic ship hijacking in the flight assessment, went to sea for a month, scored 10,000 adventurer points with three battles and three victories, and successively won the Imperial Hero Medal and the Uncrowned Country Idealism Medal. The potential new stars, captain Lu Chen, combatant Gloria, and beast master Ai Li... it's a pleasure to meet you all, please take a seat!"
Lu Chen thought to himself that the achievements of the Guernica Adventure Group must be more brilliant than the original star dome, and the woman has her reasons for calmness.
Afterwards, he and Ellie took their seats.
And where he sat was on the side where the woman placed the scorpion tail on the round table.
Scorpions are said to be dangerous, but this woman gave him the impression of rigor, not danger, like a science teacher.
The hedging guide also doesn’t give any tips.
Lu Chen gradually relaxed.
Out of curiosity, he turned his head and glanced at the woman's butt.
That's called a tight cock...
In comparison, Gloria is a bit too plump and has no idea of body management.
Ahem.
Lu Chen didn't look at this. What he wanted to see was that the woman's leather jacket had a convenient hole where the scorpion's tail protruded.
In this case, it will be very troublesome to urinate...
Will there be zippers or something like that?
Lu Chen thought wildly.
Of course, practitioners do not necessarily need to relieve themselves.
Scorpio ordered the food, served the drinks, and began to look through some of the evidence provided by Lu Chen.
"I have already read the evidence you provided. The Empire and the Federation are currently in a truce period. The Federation is recuperating and does not want to actively create conflicts and provoke disputes... Therefore, the "Federal Free Stars" will not publish this news."
Lu Chen picked up a glass of high-end cocktail, and suddenly realized that it was not a cocktail tail, but a scorpion tail... it was actually a scorpion tail wine.
Ai Li didn't dare to drink and was only eating snacks. Her glass of Scorpion Tail wine had already been finished by Gloria.
Lu Chen hesitantly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Fortunately, there is no unpleasant smell.
"So, the purpose of your invitation to meet us at Little Raquel is..."
Scorpio said calmly:
"I can publish it in some tabloids as a member of the Guernica Beast Controlling Group, and then reprint it on the Adventurer Association's news forum."
"Where's the reward?"
"Unfortunately, there is no pay."
Gloria's color changed instantly.
Scorpio explained:
"In times of peace, no one wants to go against the Empire. In fact, you are asking me to do something about this. I can feel that you, a recipient of the Empire Hero Medal, do not like the Empire. Helping you publish for free is what we can do. It’s the limit, unless…”
"Unless what?"
"Unless Ellie replaces you as the leader of the Original Star Adventure Group and lets the whole group join the Guernica Beast Controlling Group."
Good guy, wait for me here!
However, the Guernica Beast Controlling Group was originally formed to search for talented beast masters, so it is normal for them to covet Ellie.
Lu Chen did not refuse immediately, but asked tentatively:
"What's the reward for doing that?"
Scorpio held up the wine cup with a somewhat provocative gesture.
"Becoming the eighteenth ship under Guernica, this is your reward."
Lu Chen smiled and turned to ask Ai Li:
"It is said that the man from Guernica is a Phoenix man with a very charming personality. What do you think, Ellie?"
However, Aili didn't even eat the snacks and said with a straight face:
"I know Guernica. I only go on adventures with the captain and sister Gloria. I don't want to join other adventure groups."
Lu Chen tentatively asked her again:
"What if we join together? The Guernica Beastmasters are all humanoid, so you will have more friends."
Ellie is determined:
"I don't want to."
Lu Chen had no choice but to show his hands towards Scorpio.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Ai Li doesn't trust outsiders easily. Even I spent a long time training her."
"What if we knew the enemy who wiped out Sirius' civilization? We will definitely avenge you."
"I will work hard to get revenge myself!"
Seeing that Ellie was determined, Scorpio stopped insisting.
"That's fine. We just need to make sure that you are not being coerced into becoming an adventurer. You don't have to join Guernica."
After saying that, she turned to Lu Chen and said:
"This matter is so confirmed. We will help you publish Cylon's inside news for free in the near future."
Lu Chen put down his wine cup and smiled.
"No, I would rather not publish it without a reward of at least a thousand spirit stones... I don't hate the empire that much, I just like money."
Scorpio stared at Lu Chen in surprise.
I thought that he was just a symbolic captain, but I didn't expect that he was actually the decision-maker.
"As you wish, the adventurer account of the Primal Star Vault will soon receive a transfer of one thousand spirit stones."
Lu Chen then picked up the wine cup with satisfaction, stared at the woman's scorpion tail, and tasted the scorpion tail wine.
Gloria, who was about to go berserk, was relieved.
Scorpio took out a document about Fog Starfish and placed it in front of Lu Chen.
"Also, if you go to Fog Sea Star to look for the Shadowless Whale in three days, you will become Guernica's enemy... If there is a Shadowless Whale, Guernica must have gotten it."
Lu Chen sipped the wine and said nonchalantly:
"Don't every adventurer go looking for the Shadowless Whale? Are all the tourists on Misty Starfish your enemies?"
For the first time, Lu Chen's shadow was reflected in the deep eyes exposed under the mask.
"Because others are just going fishing for fun, you are really likely to find it."
With that, Scorpio turned and left the table.
"you flatter me."
Looking at the sultry back with a long scorpion tail, Lu Chen called up the item prompt again.
It clearly says:
The woman has the blood of the ancient interstellar Zerg race.
