Extraordinary pedigree

Terra Calendar 1591.1.2.

Edici Federation·New World City.

In the airspace of New World City.

Rumble——

The aircraft numbered [Sky Train·A499] cut through the clouds and pushed forward with a smoothness and power that could only be achieved by a machine traveling at high speed.

Outside, the roar of the engine was like distant thunder, constantly echoing on both sides of the wings, intertwined with the howling of the wind, and weaving into an aerial symphony that was both exciting and peaceful.

This sound, even though it was isolated by the fuselage, still shook the cabin slightly.

At an altitude of 10,000 feet, the plane shuttled between the clouds, and everything in the cockpit seemed extremely peaceful.

The captain held the strangely shaped control lever with his four hands and stared intently at the blue sky ahead and the beating data on the dashboard.

His deputy, a majestic-looking Alancoe eagle man with two wings, was doing a routine job - reporting in the air, which is a key link to ensure flight safety.

The co-pilot lightly pressed the button of the communication system and slightly adjusted the headset to ensure clear communication.

His voice was calm and confident, sent through radio waves, through the clouds, connecting the ground control tower with them in the air.

"Tower, this is flight NH430. The current flight altitude is 35,000 feet and the speed is 460 knots. It is expected to enter the X area airspace in fifteen minutes. Request follow-up flight instructions, please pass."

On the other end of the microphone, the response from the ground control tower was almost immediate, with a professional calmness and precision in his voice: "Flight NH430, this is the tower. After receiving your report, you have been allowed to continue flying on the planned route. Estimated five After a few minutes, there will be slight airflow. Please adjust the flight altitude and speed to ensure comfort. If there are any changes, we will notify you in time. The tower is over."

After the report was completed, Alanko Yingman casually took off his earphones and threw them aside. Then he took out a [financial card], and the card rotated slightly, accompanied by a "di" sound.

A cigar appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He picked up the cigar with his slender fingers and sniffed it gently. The aroma of tobacco and wood was intoxicating.

Then, sharp claws popped out of his fingertips, and he used the claws to cut off the top of the cigar, exposing the butt.

The cross-section of the cigar butt shows a uniform texture, like wood grain, which makes people imagine its texture.

He lit the cigar and lit the butt with a bronze lighter. A plume of smoke rose from the tip of the cigar.

As he drew in, the cigar burned more and more evenly, releasing smoke that filled the room. The smoke was filled with a faint scent of tobacco, like a luxurious ceremony.

He took a deep breath, and the smoke slowly exhaled from his mouth, forming a white smoke cloud.

"Damn it, can't you wait until the train is empty before you smoke?" the fourth-hand driver cursed at the birdman beside him.

"Who is John Galt?" Alancome replied to the driver, holding his head.

"Don't you fucking say that slang, no one knows who John Galt is!"

"So my answer is out, no!"

"Bah, you have really learned the spirit of Edici." After the pilot adjusted the aircraft, he continued to curse at the birdman beside him.

Then, he took out a bottle of amber wine and started to drink it.

This caused the co-pilot beside him to roll his eyes.

"After this flight, you can pay off the loan, right?"

The co-pilot asked curiously to the captain beside him. Cigar smoke surrounded him with a soft haze.

"Well, when I smuggled into New World City from the Junction, I owed too much debt to Monster Power Company, but there was nothing I could do about it. Who told them to monopolize the local portal?"

The captain had memories on his face.

"The place at the junction is not a place for normal people to stay. If it doesn't come out of nowhere, it will be affected by the divine war sooner or later. Moreover, those developers who are engaged in the real estate bubble are really TNND. They are all deadbeat things. For the sake of finance , Dare to sell any house that goes against the sky.

Not long ago, the flying house tour project launched by the real estate developer in their border area was completely unfinished. I heard that it was because a quasi-god (qualified person) ascended there, so the airspace was allocated to that area by the Golden King's Court. It's almost divine.

The quasi-god directly summoned lightning and split all the thaumaturgic balloons on the flying houses. No one died, after all, they paid the down payment and still had loans from [Financial Street]. "

Alanko Eagle Man continued to smoke, with a sneer on his bird face.

"Those people don't even think about the shitty housing acquisition rate of the real estate company in the first phase of Flying House - that housing acquisition rate would make the three-headed dogs of hell shake their heads."

"They just want to take a gamble. If Feiwu can successfully avoid the real estate tax on Financial Street, the religious belief tax of the gods, the electricity bills of the power company, the exorbitant taxes of the local gods, etc., they will make a lot of money. After all, the house is on the border The ground is equivalent to a shelter." The captain took a sip of wine and said with a complicated expression.

If he had a house, he wouldn't be a jobber in the Edici Federation.

"If you want to take advantage of capital loopholes, you don't want to think about whether your size is enough." Birdman Rui commented.

Alanko Yingman looked at the gloomy-looking captain and said comfortingly:

“Although the New World City is also a bunch of shit, compared to the Junction Land, this place is paradise.

The most you can see here is the crowds of people with strange hooves parading on the streets every day, the passionate gunfights of company employees, the failure of prosthetic transformation, the cybermaniacs masturbating to the street lights, and the Mituists. Falling out with others, seeing the unemployed turn into financial evil spirits who randomly hurt people, seeing the state government wanting to become independent because it is dissatisfied with you wealthy people..."

"..." The captain didn't know for a moment whether the other party was really praising the city of the new world, or whether he was being arrogant.

"By the way, I haven't asked you about your origins. How did you come to work as an employee at Monster Cabin Service Company? Are you also an immigrant from all realms?"

"No, I'm from the local hub of Terra. I used to serve in the foreign army of the Edici Federation. After I retired from the army, I was spotted by a junkie boy in the casino. I was not aware of it and fell into a trap. When I came from the gambling When I came out of the city, I only had a pair of underpants and a lot of debt. I had no choice but to use some connections to find a job at Monster Company and sign a contract to work as a labor force to pay off the debt." Birdman said angrily while puffing on his cigar.

"How much do you owe, and how many years will you have to work?"

"One hundred and fifty years."

"Tsk, you're worse than those who take home mortgages."

"Don't worry, just buy some stocks and you can pay off the money in one hundred and fifty years."

"You still dare to speculate in stocks!?"

"The brave will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death."

"You have one slang after another. Why, you want to take the college entrance examination."

"Academy is also a test, but I bought some college funds to climb multiple tracks."

"..., I can only wish you good luck."

*******

In the aircraft cabin, the dim lights cast a soft light, providing a warm haven for people on the journey.

The monster flight attendants walked gently through the narrow aisles with professional smiles on their faces, occasionally whispering to ask if they needed more help or a comfortable blanket.

Passengers each occupy their own small world. Some are immersed in books or electronic screens, while others choose to close their eyes and relax, letting their thoughts wander as the plane moves forward at high speed.

Traveling in the air seems to cause wonderful distortions in time and space. In this enclosed space, the hustle and bustle of the outside world is completely cut off, leaving only the steady hum of the aircraft engine and the occasional whisper from the flight attendants and passengers.

[Dear passengers, we are about to land at LaGuardia Airport in New York and arrive at the central entrance area of ​​the new world city outside the normal state.

Please fasten your seat belt, adjust the seat back to the upright position, stow the tray table, and ensure that your luggage is placed under the seat or in the overhead luggage compartment. First-class passengers please bring their familiars, financial Controlling beasts and human intelligence puppets.

Again, please do not open the emergency escape door privately and make an emergency landing. The Edici Federation has corresponding anti-aerospace laws. Any behavior of flying broomsticks and other flying instruments needs to be reported to the Federal Bureau of Homeland Security. If you need to fill out an entry form, please complete it now. We expect to land within a few minutes.

Please note that it was 10am local time and the weather was sunny and the temperature was around 22 degrees Celsius. Thank you for choosing our Monster Cabin Service Company. We hope you will have a pleasant journey on your next trip to Edici. 】

The sweet announcement on the plane echoed in the cabin.

In the first-class cabin, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes half-closed his eyes, leaning his head on the unusually soft back of the chair, enjoying the rare tranquility during the journey.

On his lap was a half-opened travel guide. The lights in the cabin were soft, and outside the window were the flowing clouds and the ever-changing colors of the sky, which formed a breathtaking picture.

"Sir, could you please take care of your dog and cat?" A respectful and gentle inquiry interrupted the blond young man's rest.

Xia Xiu opened his eyes, turned around and saw a green jelly-like creature standing next to his seat, looking at him with a naive expression.

This creature is only half the height of an ordinary human. Its body is translucent green and looks like living jelly.

Several jelly-like tentacles were extending out from its body, and the ends of the tentacles held several plates with various meals provided on the plane.

Xia Xiu's golden eyes looked along the direction pointed by the other party.

A dog with white fur and eyes shining like bright rubies, and a cat with gray fur and deep green eyes. They were sitting around in a small space with great interest. Their attention was completely attracted by the shivering raccoon in the middle, with a hint of helplessness and fear in its eyes.

The dog with white fur and red eyes had its ears slightly raised and its head tilted to observe the raccoon in front of it. Occasionally, it gently stretched out its nose and tried to touch the raccoon with its warm and moist nose tip, but stopped at the last moment, as if It was giving the other person some space; while the gray cat swung its tail and looked curiously at the small flames that spurted out and tried to resist, but was slapped by the dog to the honest raccoon.

The owner of the raccoon was a dwarf. He looked at the white-haired dog with red eyes in front of him, his face full of fear.

The scene in the first-class cabin looks incredibly absurd.

"Sorry, my familiar is a little naughty." The blond young man showed an apologetic smile, and then he stretched out his hand to summon the two familiars in front of him, "Jiamu, Gray Wind, both Come here."

A dog and a cat returned to the blond young man's side obediently. The dog lay quietly at his owner's feet, while the gray cat jumped on the other's shoulder.

The blond young man casually pulled out a stack of large-denomination Edici banknotes from his body and said apologetically to the flight attendant:

"Give the money to the gentleman and apologize to the gentleman again with me."

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on his slightly messy golden hair, giving his outline a soft halo.

What a quality gentleman. The jelly flight attendant was relieved.

What they fear most is dealing with disputes between humans and other races. As long as the matter involves humans and alien races, the rights and wrongs of the matter and the relevant stance of the discussion will directly change.

If an airline favors humans, it will be scolded by other alien races as a colonial, kneeling, and embarrassing thing.

If an airline favors foreign races, humans will be dissatisfied, restrict your business, and think you are discriminating against humans and seeking death.

"I think that gentleman will definitely accept your apology."

Jelly stretched out his tentacles and carefully received the sincerity from the blond young man. During this period, he never dared to let his body parts touch the other person's skin.

There are many weird rules within the flight attendant company, one of which is not to have any unnecessary physical contact with humans, especially human women.

Companies want to avoid all unnecessary trouble, they just want to quietly make money from humans.

Jelly quickly expressed Xia Xiu's full apology to the dwarf who was frightened by Jiam. After the dwarf took the money, he also showed a flattering smile to the blond young man.

Obviously, even if the human doesn't give money, the dwarf doesn't dare to do anything.

However, the cowardice shown by the dwarf towards the blond young man made other aliens in the first-class cabin frown in dissatisfaction. During this period, some aliens wanted to take out their cameras to take pictures of this scene, but this was quickly dismissed by other flight attendants who had quick eyes and quick hands. Regulations stopped it.

Flight attendant companies are very skilled at this.

This is just a small episode on the [Sky Train·A499] flight.

Everything seemed absurd, but also too normal.

The captain who drinks, the co-pilot who smokes, the familiar who walks around in the first class cabin, the weird and weird flight attendants and passengers...

These are all extremely normal things in Edici.

The episode did not delay any of the plane's itinerary. At this moment, [Sky Train A499] was already approaching its destination.

As the plane began to descend, LaGuardia Airport gradually appeared under the clouds, like a giant jigsaw puzzle slowly pieced together in the passenger's field of vision.

The sun shone on the wings, reflecting dazzling light, and the world outside the window seemed to become vivid.

The plane passed through layers of clouds, and its descent was smooth and gentle, as if the sky was gently embracing travelers.

As the height gradually decreases, the scene of the New World City becomes clearer and clearer. High-rise buildings, busy streets, winding rivers, and the green Central Park are all revealed one by one.

[Dear passengers, welcome to New York's LaGuardia Airport——]

[Sky Train A499] arrived at its destination, and a familiar crisp sound just happened to ring in Xia Xiu's ears.

[Ding--]

[You have an unread message. ]

Xia Xiu glanced at the source of the message. It was a business trip greeting from Dr. 0-03. He directly typed the following line on the genealogy mailbox with his mind.

"I'm in Edici, I just got off the plane..."
