If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Chen wouldn't have believed that there was half a planet in the universe, orbiting the star as if nothing had happened.
It is not an ordinary half, but the remaining half, which is like being cut off in half with a sword, floating alone in the orbit of the planet.
The other half is missing.
Lu Chen thought to himself, "The Lonely Northern Hemisphere" is honest and true.
Its northern hemisphere is just like the surface of a normal planet, with vast farms and huge modern cities.
In the southern hemisphere, there is a flat, mirror-like sea surface dotted with thousands of beach islands.
If there were native indigenous people on the island, they would definitely come to the same conclusion as Ou Shenxian:
The earth is flat.
Under the sea, the core of the earth was dug out, forming a huge mine.
Even if the planet loses its core, it can still maintain its magnetic field and gravity, and its stable revolution and rotation are the result of the planetary formation.
According to the Internet, this is probably a very new mining method.
Lu Chen didn't quite believe this statement. Cutting open an entire planet was not as simple as blowing up a planet with a Star Destroyer Cannon. Many engineering problems had to be solved and a lot of spiritual energy was consumed. What kind of minerals could make up for it?
This is the destination of Lu Chen's trip.
An interstellar station located in the star area where multiple routes meet: Thousand Island Sea.
This interstellar station, which belongs to the Uncrowned Kingdom, signals to passing adventurers or tourists that it is the only flat sea in the universe.
Lu Chen always felt that his constant air force might have been adversely affected by the deflection of the magnetic field and the curvature of the water surface.
Thousand Island Sea is probably his stop to prove himself!
The Leonin arrived outside the atmosphere of the Thousand Island Sea, and an honor guard composed of six frigates escorted the spacecraft to the central square of the northern hemisphere.
The king, Devolpenan, known as the "Benevolent Dictator", had set up a huge awarding platform in the square in advance, and together with a group of beautiful princesses, personally greeted Lu Chen and the others.
Full of sense of ceremony!
On both sides were flowers, applause and media cameras.
Various shouts came from the crowd:
"Cylon Hero!"
"Ellie is the best in the world!"
"So cute, help!"
"Please make your debut, Ellie!"
"Goliath, Goliath, Goliath, Goliath, Goliath!"
The more Lu Chen listened, the more something was wrong.
Just calling him, he was quickly drowned out by the tsunami of cheers from Ai Li and Gloria.
The rice circle is really outrageous!
He turned and glanced.
Ai Li didn't dress up deliberately, she still wore a neat student uniform, except for a blue flower-shaped hairpin.
Because of the nervousness, they were almost walking in the same boat...
It's a bit funny, but also adds a bit of cuteness.
Gloria wore a cyan cloak with a sword, but paired it with a close-fitting purple evening dress. Her tall, plump devil figure made the hell-level outfit look like a fairy.
She is domineering and sexy.
On the other hand, Lu Chen himself was wearing a men's suit purchased from Gloria for his own use... but it didn't fit well.
Even though he has outstanding facial features and good temperament, there is no highlight at all, like a driver carrying bags for two goddesses.
Fortunately, the big shot's focus is all on him.
Lu Chen came to the center of the awarding platform and shook hands cordially with King Penan, who was two meters tall and two meters in circumference.
"Captain Lu personally came to the Thousand Island Sea, but he was disappointed and greeted from afar."
Countless cameras were aimed at the center of the podium.
For a moment, Lu Chen felt like he was going to be on the news network, which made him a little nervous.
"Lord Star Lord is interested!"
King Penan laughed.
"Hahahaha, half a planet is not a star lord, I still like to be called a king."
"Your Majesty is too kind!"
"Not every Idealist Medal winner receives this kind of treatment. Captain Lu is a particularly special person."
"Oh? Where am I in particular?"
"Especially since my daughters love you so much."
King Penan said, and a dozen princesses behind him smiled and waved to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't expect that he would finally have fans.
She is still a princess with an average weight of 200 kilograms per person, one can equal the weight of two!
It can be seen that his fans are much more important than those of Ai Li and Gloria.
Later, King Penan personally wore the Idealist Medal for Lu Chen and delivered an award speech.
The boastful Lu Chenren was a little embarrassed.
In his previous life, he hated false words, but now he felt surprisingly comfortable when he said them to himself.
No wonder leaders like it...
Next.
King Penan held a state banquet for Lu Chen and the others at the Star Lord Mansion.
Lu Chen secretly overheard the whispers of the guests and discovered that this was actually a paid state banquet. Only the king's family and Lu Chen were free.
The remaining guests are major local politicians and business tycoons on the planet.
Came here to take photos with Lu Chen, an idealist, to build up connections.
This seriously affected Lu Chen's enjoyment of eating.
After all, this is a seafood feast worth thousands of spiritual stones.
As for your mother, if the king doesn’t give me a share, you’re affecting me’s ability to eat. If I can’t get it back, wouldn’t it be a loss?
Eat, you can eat anything!
As long as you can't eat to death, eat to death!
However, Lu Chen could also see that King Penan, as the Lord of a Star, was able to lose face and earn a small amount of money through such stingy methods. This showed that he did not use his status as Star Lord to monopolize the planet's resources or Charge high taxes and fees...
If he is an expert at hollowing out the planet and exploiting the people, who would care about the small amount of money for a dinner?
In fact, King Penang is called a dictator online by capitalists or hostile forces.
But countless people spoke out for him and called him a benevolent dictator, which turned dictator into an honorific.
The enemy accused him of being fat and plundering people's wealth, but when Lu Chen saw his daughters, he understood that obesity was the gene of the Penan family.
Women are beauty-loving animals, and only a few of the real rich girls are obese.
People's financial resources are enough for them to eat expensive food that is nutritious, fresh and delicious, and has enough calories.
How could he be fat?
Whether in his previous life or on the Rust Star, Lu Chen saw rich girls who not only had good figures and fashionable clothes, but also looked like fairies.
There is nothing like these princesses and a bunch of bumpkins...
It is said that the security forces in Qiandaohai spend a lot of money, and King Penan is not only good at making money, but also budgeting carefully.
In addition to medals and dinners, Lu Chen also received a large number of local crafts and paintings of princesses.
There are so many gifts that together they are worth a hundred spiritual stones.
At the dinner, Lu Chen expected to see the mermaid dance, the tourist card of Thousand Island Sea.
As a result, I actually enjoyed a mechanical tank dance performed by the princesses themselves for Lu Chen.
The guests' expressions were stiff, they were shouting in their hearts for their money back, and even their appetite for food and drink was lost.
Saved on food!
Perhaps it was the effect of the reverse fan filter, but Lu Chen felt that the princesses' tank dance was pretty good.
Although their figures are too plump, they have good physiques, flexible and vigorous movements, and they really have a sense of rhythm of mechanical dance.
Lu Chen was so full that he couldn't help but get up and dance with the fan princesses.
There is nothing wrong with a spiritual mechanic dancing mechanically.
Ai Li turned on the camera on her bracelet and quietly took photos of Lu Chen.
Gloria had a headache when she saw it, and she asked the king bluntly:
"I heard that the mermaid dance in Qiandao Sea is very famous. Why did your majesty fool us with the mechanical dance?"
The king held the wine cup in his hand. He hadn't drank for a long time and sighed helplessly:
"Miss Gloria doesn't know. In the past few years, Empire Entertainment Weekly and the Galaxy Animal Protection Organization have said that we enslave the murlocs, forcing us to terminate all mermaid performances in the Thousand Island Sea. But in fact, we and the murlocs both They signed a performance contract, and the salary for mermaid dancing and acrobatics is far higher than the average salary in Qiandaohai. Those who can't perform have fallen back into poverty because they lost their jobs. Now it has become a major social problem in Qiandaohai, and I am also worried about it."
Gloria was angry after hearing this.
"Isn't this forcing them to go into the sea?"
The king drank the wine in one gulp and snorted coldly:
"Although they went into the sea, they gained freedom...the Animal Protection Association seems to say so."
Lu Chen, who had just finished dancing, suddenly became interested when he heard the mermaid descending into the sea.
"If they had better service, I would take care of their business."
The king was stunned, and it took him a long time to understand what Lu Chensu meant. He raised his head and laughed:
"Captain Lu is a great hero, and he is young and handsome. You can eat meat for free, let alone a vegetarian one?"
Gloria's drunken red face showed a trace of unreasonable jealousy.
"I'm already perverted enough, but you're still instigating me. Murlocs aren't even mammals, so how can they be so cruel?"
Lu Chen frowned and thought to himself, it depends on whether the mermaid is a mermaid who fishes or fishes.
Ai Li secretly tugged at the corner of Gloria's clothes and whispered:
"Sister Gloria, stop talking. Aren't you trying to seduce the captain?"
"ha?"
Gloria tilted her head and didn't react for a long time.
After dinner.
"Light", the headquarters media from the Kingdom of the Uncrowned, hopes to conduct an exclusive interview with the Original Star Vault Adventure Group.
Lu Chen didn’t know much about this media.
What's more, he doesn't like to be the focus of the media, so he declined the interview request.
On the side, the king, who looked surprised, quickly pulled Lu Chen aside and told him:
"Everyone who does an exclusive interview with an idealist in "Light" will be paid a thousand spiritual stones. If you don't make it, you won't make it in vain!"
Lu Chen then remembered that in Zhenling Continent, the "Empire Entertainment Weekly" was going to pay him, a Hero Medal winner, one hundred spirit stones for an exclusive interview.
Dogs don’t do either.
Gloria, who had a sharp ear, heard about the reward of a thousand spirit stones and came over and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.
"Don't be too arrogant, captain, and believe in "Light"."
One sentence ignited Lu Chen's childhood feelings.
Lu Chen decided to give it a try.
Before accepting the interview, he specifically asked the bearded director.
"Should I memorize the answers in advance for an exclusive interview? Are there any sensitive words?"
The bearded director comforted him and said:
"Don't worry, it's so dark outside for our uncrowned country. These antique practices must be abandoned. As an idealist, you can answer whatever you want. What we want is truth."
Lu Chen was relieved.
Unexpectedly, the bearded man added:
"Don't worry, anything that's not true will be cut out."
The road dust is full of black lines...
However, this can be regarded as a basic behavior in the media industry. There is nothing to criticize. In the end, it still depends on the film effect.
This actually made Lu Chen relax, he could say anything, and whatever he said wrong would eventually be cut off.
Soon, Lu Chen and the others boarded the "Light" interview boat.
There are actually some volunteer students in the studio.
Lu Chen saw in the eyes of these students the look of faith that the Master of Cylon had.
The host is a well-groomed middle-aged woman.
She was pretty, but a bit serious. She was holding a stack of paper documents in her hand, which reminded Lu Chen of a certain scorpion woman.
After simple greetings and explanation of precautions, the interview began quickly.
host:
"It's been more than a month since I've been here, and I've received so much public attention. How do you feel?"
Lu Chen:
"Ellie, please speak first."
Ellie looks a little camera-shy.
"I'm sorry, I don't have any thoughts, and I can't answer questions. The captain's thoughts are my thoughts, and the captain's answer is my answer. Sister host, I will just sit and watch you talk."
host:
"Don't be nervous, Ellie, this is your most truthful answer."
"Where's Gloria?"
Gloria:
“I feel like the traffic I’m getting isn’t enough, and the conversion rate is pathetically low.”
The host was confused.
“What conversion rate?”
Gloria:
"Of course it's about monetizing traffic. Just like you do media, you want to convert traffic into public support and cohesion. I hope to convert traffic into money. It's best to open a live broadcast account as soon as possible. Remember to tip me!"
As he said this, he shamelessly gestured to the camera.
The host was confused for a moment.
"Although being truthful is a good thing, Gloria is too real... This will make her lose fans."
"ha?"
Gloria was stunned and asked hurriedly:
"Then tell me, how can I not lose followers?"
The host smiled and did not offer any advice to Gloria.
"Of course it is to bring more exciting adventures to fans, such as continuing to expose the evil face of imperialism, such as obtaining another idealist medal..."
Gloria looked disappointed and muttered:
"That would be too tiring. I like to get something for nothing."
Lu Chen:
"..."
The host looked at Lu Chen again.
"Where's the captain?"
"Me what?"
Lu Chen was almost dozing off.
host:
“How do you feel about this journey?”
Lu Chen:
"Oh... My feeling is that it is too dangerous to be an adventurer. If you have a choice, don't step into the Pangu Corridor, because the purpose of many people going to sea is not to take risks, but to set up traps along the way to cut off adventurers' leeks. .”
host:
"Now that the Black Dragon incident has been exposed, Captain Lu's words will make others think that you want to reduce competitors."
Lu Chen:
"I'm just expressing my personal opinion. Who cares what other people think? I have been along the way. To be honest, luck accounts for a large part. If I were to go again, I would have made more money and died a long time ago. many)."
host:
"For confidentiality reasons, we generally do not ask about the talents and abilities of the interviewees. I just want to ask, what does Captain Lu think is the most important ability for adventurers?"
Lu Chen:
"If you have money...if you don't have money, you have to accept an exclusive interview."
Gloria slapped Lu Chen on the leg.
"Speak to me nicely."
Lu Chen:
"If you have money, you can buy top-notch equipment and hire powerful crew members to make up for any of your shortcomings. For adventurers without money, this is a dimensionality-reducing blow. No matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to resist. This It’s the power of money.”
host:
"Captain Lu means that you have no money, but how can you find two teammates who are very strong in my opinion?"
Lu Chen:
"If you really don't have money, being handsome can make up for it."
Gloria looked unconvinced and suddenly grabbed Lu Chen's handsome face with both hands and pulled it horizontally into a disk shape.
"You are so shameless, so I asked the host, is this guy handsome?"
The host glanced at Lu Chen and said with a smile:
"I think he's quite handsome."
Gloria was speechless.
"As a host, you must be fair. How can you be fascinated by a mere man?"
host:
"Doesn't this mean that Captain Lu is quite handsome?"
Gloria was speechless and had to change the topic.
"Can handsome people be used as food? I'm not more beautiful than him. Why am I still so poor now?"
The host shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't know why the interview was turned into a house game by these people.
"As we all know, Captain Lu is a technical investor, and Ai Li and Gloria also relied on their own abilities to get on the ship and get to where they are now step by step. You are too modest to discuss the issue of appearance."
Lu Chen:
"Ah, yes, you are absolutely right."
host:
"I would like to ask you what you think about the Black Dragon incident, or from a technical perspective, is there any possibility of fraud in these two videos?"
Lu Chen:
"Whether it's true or not, a large number of new leeks will soon enter the Pangu Corridor, raising their necks and waiting for the sickle to fall."
Gloria rolled her eyes at him.
"You're here again, why don't you take risks and be more lively?"
Lu Chen:
"Even if the video is true, such a small atavistic black dragon has only scientific research value. It is not enough to fit between your teeth. It is impossible for you to become an immortal... If you have already gone to sea, it is recommended that you enjoy the adventure and don't care too much about the dragon. Ah Feng or something like that, the more goals you have, the easier it will be to be cut off. To ensure safety, make less, and don’t work so hard. If everyone thinks so, the traps along the way can be avoided."
Gloria:
"You're just here for an interview, and you consider yourself a life coach?"
Ai Li didn't know when she had already picked up a small notebook...
Lu Chen:
"I'm paid to do an exclusive interview, so I have to say something. Am I just doing it for nothing like you?"
The host smiled.
"It seems that Captain Lu, as an adventurer, has some humanistic concerns. No wonder he can win the idealist medal... In this case, I suddenly want to ask, what does Captain Lu think of the social system of Cylon? What else can I do? Areas for improvement.”
"This question is beyond the scope."
Lu Chen didn't know how to answer.
"The Cylon system has been able to exist for a thousand years, so it certainly has its merits. What can be improved is that the elder sister can be more ruthless towards the enemy. In addition, I hope that the Cylon system can find ways to improve the art of Creativity, creating good works and exporting them to enhance national self-confidence and institutional self-confidence, the dissemination effect of art is far better than this interview."
host:
"Will the lack of parental love have a negative impact on a child's growth and lack of artistic talent?"
Lu Chen:
"Perhaps, this requires investing more funds into the education industry, so that the relationship between master and apprentice can replace the love of parents. What's more, it is not allowed to get married and have children, and it is not allowed to support friends. Cylon has purer love and friendship than outside... …The main reason why Cylon lags behind in art is that it lacks cultural confidence and focuses too much on science and engineering in education.”
After thinking for a while, Lu Chen added:
"Of course, the games developed by Cylon are fun, but they are still too niche and hard-core, which is not conducive to cultural dissemination."
Gloria, a game enthusiast, rarely agrees with Lu Chen.
"No, none of the game dogs on Cylon play."
"Well, I hope Big Sister will see this interview."
The host said with a smile, and then asked:
"I'm curious, how did the three of them meet? Do you have any interesting stories about their early relationship to share with you?"
Lu Chen:
"It's better to say..."
The two-hour interview went by in a flash.
Lu Chen surprisingly didn't feel bored and had quite a good time chatting.
It is equivalent to taking a thousand spiritual stones in vain.
…
After the interview was over and the money was received, Lu Chen gave Ai Li and Gloria 250 spirit stones each as pocket money to spend as they pleased in the mall.
The other five hundred spiritual stones were given to Aili and asked her to help buy marrow-cleansing pills and healing pills.
Gloria thought the pocket money was too little and suggested:
"It's better to sell the level 40 armor-breaking machine on the ship. It's just that the engine level is higher, and it's not a high-end product. It takes up too much space, and its combat power is average. Next time you encounter an adventure that requires armored escort, I will accompany you. Go in, isn't it much more powerful than armor? I don't use spiritual oil, and I can even chat with you... As long as you are generous with your pocket money, it will be fine. When the end of the universe comes, I can still give you a child. Investing in women is no better than investing in steel. Is it a better deal?”
Lu Chen was stunned, thinking that the return on investment in steel was 10,000 times higher than that on investment in women. It would be the end of the universe and I would still give birth to a child like this!
"Okay, okay, if the armor can be sold at a high price, I will consider it."
Gloria was now satisfied to take Ai Li shopping.
At this point, Lu Chen's award-giving activities are all over.
King Pain didn't even provide Lu Chen with accommodation, but just suggested that he go to an island in the southern hemisphere.
Lu Chen had plans to go fishing for fun.
but not now.
He first had to go to the second-hand market to sell equipment.
Lu Chen drove the Leonin and landed in the Mechanical City southwest of the Royal City.
This place is somewhat similar to the Cage Port of Cylon. Its large-scale modification equipment seems to be imported from Cylon.
There is a specialized second-hand trading market and even an auction market.
Lu Chen thought to himself, I just won a medal and was on TV. Will I make more money from the auction?
The Leonin headed for the auction market.
I paid the rent of one hundred spiritual stones to the organizer.
Where do people go?
That's where the spoils of war go.
Level 40 combat armor.
Level 40 retractable tauren spear.
As well as the rest of the messy trophies, large and small, that were looted from the Horn.
The organizer announced to the whole audience that this was exposing the evil behavior of Empire Entertainment Weekly. The star of Misty Sea Star, who had just received the Uncrowned Country Idealist Medal:
Road dust.
The audience's emotions were instantly aroused.
But soon, everyone was shouting where Ellie and Gloria had gone...
Lu Chen ignored it.
The organizer went on to introduce that these trophies came from Niujiao, who was ranked 66th on this year's list of potential new stars.
Unfortunately, everyone was so excited that they showed little interest in the trophies. In the end, they were photographed by major second-hand dealers.
The combat armor was a popular product and sold for 3,800 yuan.
Since the long gun was a customized model, it only sold for one thousand and two thousand.
The rest of the loot combined only sold for a thousand.
Lu Chen sold a total of six thousand spirit stones, which was a small box full!
As for the auction, I didn't feel there was a significant premium.
It's a normal price.
It can be seen that these buyers are still very calm and do not put celebrity filters on them at all. They pay as much as they want.
Leaving the auction house, Lu Chen counted his total assets:
Earned three thousand three thousand from the Cylon Orphanage.
The income from the interview, one thousand, has been spent.
Auction spoils, six thousand.
In addition to the one thousand from the transaction with the scorpion woman, it is deposited in the adventurer's bank account.
At this point, Lu Chen has a total of 10,300 spiritual stones at his disposal!
"Phew, finally a ten thousand yuan household."
In addition, Luchen also has the following physical assets:
Level 30 modified spaceship.
Level 30 treasure hunting armor.
A ghostly cat.
A demon-slaying sword.
Nuclear powered fishing rod.
A shadowless whale bead fused in the Dantian.
Also, a level 20 motorboat that Gloria snatched from the Rust Star Police Station had just been ridden out.
"It's only been a little over a month, not bad!"
Lu Chen was very satisfied.
Later, he found a spacecraft modification factory.
Three hundred spirit stones were spent to rewire the main structure of the spirit pattern in the spacecraft, and Lu Chen personally designed the new spirit pattern.
The purpose is to allow his spiritual power to be transmitted to every part of the spacecraft more smoothly.
As a result, at critical moments, you can spread your spiritual power throughout the ship to achieve global stealth of the ship for a short period of time!
After everything was done, it was already dawn the next day.
Lu Chen drove the spaceship back to the central square of the royal city and called to urge Ai Li and Gloria.
Soon, Gloria came back on a motorboat.
There were also large and small bags of clothes, cosmetics and Ai Li's teaching materials that built up a mountain, and even needed straps to fix it on the motorboat.
Ai Li handed a large box of pills to Lu Chen.
"Captain, this is the elixir you want to buy. The store saw that we are members of the original star dome and gave us a 20% discount."
"Ally is still reliable!"
Lu Chen took the elixir and asked Gloria:
"You bought all night, and this is what you got?"
Gloria smiled mysteriously.
"It's quite a lot. We bought a lot of beautiful swimsuits."
"ha?"
Lu Chen thought he heard something wrong.
“Why do interstellar adventures require swimsuits?”
"Idiot, this is the Thousand Island Sea, of course I bought it to play beach volleyball!"
Gloria roared and drove the motorboat into the back cabin of the spacecraft.
Lu Chen and Ai Li also quickly followed the rear cabin.
“Who said anything about playing beach volleyball?”
Gloria was very proud of herself:
"You must be good at fishing. Why don't you play with us in the end? The independent sand island in the Thousand Island Sea is unique. We are going to fight to the death through beach volleyball!"
(End of chapter)
