If you look down from directly above the Milky Way, you will find that along the route of the Mass Effect Repeater, dozens of civilized races in the Milky Way have established a complete circle of loose countries around the center of the Milky Way. [No pop-up novel website] Civilized races are expanding outward along the nodes of Mass Effect repeaters, and the world that has been explored may only be one percent of the entire galaxy. A large number of vast worlds far away from Mass Effect repeaters, or where repeaters are dormant, are still silent in darkness...

Then follow the direction of fifteen degrees west-north, through the center of the Milky Way, and cut the Milky Way into two halves. The distinction between chaos and order can be clearly distinguished. The lower part is the Citadel space and the Attica section. This is the world of order established by the civilized races that joined the Citadel Council, including humans, Asari, Turians, Salarians and other races - in this world, There is a naval treaty limiting the number of dreadnoughts, an agreement that warships are not allowed to bombard planets with their main guns, and any interstellar war will be intervened and mediated by the Citadel Council... It is almost a very peaceful and beautiful world.

The other half of the Milky Way above the Citadel World is the World God Galaxy composed of countless countries and forces, as well as the Geth Kingdom (synthesized) hidden in the Perseus Curtain (a purple-gold nebula that cannot be penetrated by any detection). A country composed of AI. The entire World God Galaxy is filled with chaos, piracy, crime, slavery, etc., and all the evils that civilized races can think of happen here every day.

In the World God Galaxy, which lacks unified restraint, pirates and slave traders venture to attack the Citadel World every year. But whenever the Citadel World invades the Realm God Galaxy, those chaotic forces will unite and resist together. In order to avoid an all-out war with the World God Galaxy, Citadel Space has always avoided sending fleets into adjacent areas. Compared with the unscrupulous anarchy of the Realm God Galaxy, the parliamentary Citadel World always "takes the overall situation into consideration" and appears to be extremely weak...

At the junction of the two worlds, the planet Ilim in the Crescent Nebula has become a special existence. The place believes in complete "money supremacy", downplays the color of politics and implements extremely liberal laws - you can even sign a contract for buying and selling slaves openly - making Ilim a trade transit point between the Citadel World and the World God Galaxy. Just like the Novilia Human Research Zone with free laws, the loose policies here have led to explosive prosperity.

Not long ago, on this planet dominated by Asari and Voler people, a small, human company was born. It is said to belong to humans simply because the person in charge of this company is a beautiful and powerful woman who puts even the Asari to shame! She is the only human in the entire company, and the rest are hired locals... Another group of her subordinates are indigenous people who have never appeared in the civilized world. She calls those subordinates "greenskins".

These "greenskins" are so cheap that they seem to kill a few for fun every day - like a mixture of slaves and pets - to find such a free indigenous race is a surprising thing in Ilim. The envy of everyone!

The woman used a mildly sexual soft drug, "Havana Cigar", to easily open the door to the market and gain a foothold in Ilim.

But only those hiding in the darkness know how terrifying this new queen is! Her "greenskins" who were strapped with various bombs, carrying crude shotguns, killing people with a smile and self-destructing at the same time, made countless mercenaries collapse... The key is, always push with a sea of ​​"greenskins" Even with the opponent, no matter how heavy the casualties in the battle were, the number of greenskins under the Queen never shrank! ——The powerful, invisible and intangible ability to replenish soldiers is even more frightening!

When this woman named "Ms. Zhao" established her authority in Ilim and established her scope of interests, her agents began to bring countless containers of goods to the worlds of various civilized races, selling all kinds of strange goods. , has been sold to the end of the galaxy!

…The good thing about being headquartered in Ilim is that you don’t have to explain anything about your company to anyone—if someone asks you, “Where do you get your goods from? Are there any violations? Is there child labor? We’re going to check it out.” ”—You have the “right” to quietly stuff him into the reactor.

"A few days ago, the 'Authentic' company from Ilim officially opened in London. The company's first product on display - a handmade car that uses nuclear fuel cells and walks completely close to the ground, aroused strong global attention. !According to interviews, the cost of the car is as high as 150,000 Xingyuan! The company plans to focus on the nostalgic style and launch tens of thousands of products with the style of the early 20th century. For details, see..."

Lu Yuan saw this soft advertisement on the news network, shook his head and smiled... The advertisement was so unsubtle, the agent was probably a Turian.

But it's just right - even the soft ads are in the style of the early 21st century... This is the real "original taste". There is no doubt that Zhao Min is like a seed that has been irrigated and suddenly blooms into stunning flowers. Perhaps it was because he had suppressed it for hundreds of years and once it broke out, even across the vast nebula and infinite world, Lu Yuan could feel the heavy resentment hidden in the violent means.

Master Lu silently placed the entire northern Milky Way into a restricted area - until Zhao Min's resentment is completely subsided, don't provoke her...

Of course, there are some things that cannot be forgotten. Through the buoy network, Lu Yuan ordered a small gift and a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to the front desk of the "Original Flavor" company in Nos. Astra, the capital of Ilim, thousands of light years away - Lao Lu just now The fourteen thousand stars that were blackmailed were gone in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan suddenly became depressed when he thought that his "girlfriends" seemed to be doing better than him. In fact, he came up with a lot of bad ideas, but he was too embarrassed to take the credit.

For example, in the small bar that day, Lu Yuan and Zhao Min were fooled by the argument that "what belongs to the nation belongs to the world!"

At the end, Lu Yuan told a little story. His classmate (the person taking the blame at this time must be a classmate and his friend is from Shenzhen). When traveling to Tibet, he bought a lot of local Tibetan silver art and gave it away. As a result, When he returned home, he discovered that those things could also be bought locally, and they were actually produced by small local factories in Shenzhen... Zhao Min understood this.

"Ancient artworks of the human race" are now popular in Illium - the quarians who have lived on battleships for a long time like steampunk-style mechanical products; the warlike Krogan people have a special liking for large dinosaur skull fossils ...especially the Tyrannosaurus rex; and the most powerful race in the galaxy, the Asari, who are all women, were directly captured by plain, fragile and beautiful porcelain!

——Don’t buy cheap products of reinforced porcelain!

Just that kind of... porcelain that is as thin as cicada wings, as greasy as fish flesh, translucent, and will break if you hold it in your hand with the slightest force! The more fragile and delicate it is, the more expensive it is. Lu Yuan didn't understand the reason why it suddenly became popular - he just thought that in a race made entirely of women, there shouldn't be too many female men. Beautiful yet fragile...isn't that the portrayal of a beautiful woman hurting herself?

Selling porcelain to the Asari is really a stab in the heart...

It is said that there is also an Asari historian who wrote a long book - "On the Development of Human Civilization and the Asari Interference Hidden Behind History" using porcelain as evidence. When they saw the "blue and white porcelain rice cooker" that was used as historical evidence (Asari people have blue skin, many humans complained... your sister's "blue and white porcelain rice cooker"!

*****

On the "Skywalker" spacecraft, Lu Yuan, who had just passed through a secondary repeater, downloaded the Starlink network news package again.

…"This is a report from the Skyllian Front! It is reported that in retaliation for the Star Alliance's severe crackdown on the slave trade. The Batarians hired mercenaries, pirates and slave traders to attack the 'Skyllian Verge' Star cluster, the human colony star 'Elysium' (elysium) launches a brazen attack!

It is reported that the attack has caused dozens of soldiers casualties, and hundreds of colonial residents are missing... There are currently no specific statistics on casualties. Please continue to pay attention to the latest battle report sent back from the front line by xx News Network..."

Lu Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this news that was suddenly pinned to the top of the page! He subconsciously sat up straight - finally... Is Shepard about to appear?

It's been a long time, and Lu Yuan can't remember many things clearly about Mass Effect. Although you can look through your own memories, that's... weird, right?

Because when you start to create a character in the Mass Effect game, the protagonist Shepard can choose one of the three battles as the background of the character in the Skillian raid in 2176, the Sandworm attack in 2177, and the counterattack on the pirate lair in 2178 - Although it is unclear how such a story would happen in the real world, this is an important clue to find Shepard after all!

You must know that neither Mu Xing nor Annie can find Shepard in the army-in this case, either the protagonist does not exist at all! Either that or... Shepard was well hidden. In order to plan, Lu Yuan must master all the information about this person in advance...

He checked the star map. At this time, he only needed to pass through four mass relays from the "Skylian Edge" star cluster - this is not a very long way. Do you want to check it out on the way?

But at this moment, a red urgent email suddenly occupied the entire screen!

When Lu Yuan opened the email, a hoarse, panicked voice sounded in the cabin——

"Help! Please save us! This is the cargo ship MSV 'Agility'... There are two hundred civilians on board. We are... We are lost in the unknown star field, and the repeater we passed is about to crash... The cargo ship was Binary star system captured, one engine has burned out, the mass effect core is seriously overloaded...Zi~...There are only seven hours until the William Herschel limit...We don't know who can receive this email...God, please show you Please be merciful...please save us...please save us..."

The voice of prayer echoed in the cabin, and in the background, countless people were praying... Lu Yuan could easily tell that there were many various voices in it... His intuition told him that this was a real letter asking for help. It's not the "help trap" trick that pirates often play!

Seven hours... Lu Yuan opened the star map and used the multi-purpose tool to easily find the source of the distress signal based on the coordinates in the email - it was an unexplored dark universe - and their distress letters were actually sent to the buoy network. , and it was really received... God did show His mercy at this time.

Lu Yuan opened the "Wizard" seriously and invaded the Star Alliance's buoy network as quickly as possible... Within four light hours, he was the only lone spacecraft? ! How could this be? They can't even forward emails... But how can a ship as dilapidated as the "Skywalker" do something like rescue? !

He had never felt the emptiness of the universe like at this moment.

"Alas~" Lu Yuan quickly wrote the words "Sorry!" and sent it to Li Yunchen along with his manuscript.

Then Lu Yuan turned the bow of the boat and slammed his fist on the red button! There was a huge "bang" on the ship's hull... and the four containers were ejected directly! Then a lone cockpit dragged three huge ion engines roaring in unison, rushing towards the nearest mass effect repeater!
