Him and their stars

Yu Lian looked at the other party's flaxen dreadlocks, piercing gray eyes, rust-colored skin, and sharp hooked nose, and thought to himself, I really believe it.

...But, then again, it was definitely not just people from Earth who provided Gong Xiao with blood. However, since this guy still uses an East Asian name and speaks standard Earthling lingua franca, from the perspective of cultural identity, of course he can only be regarded as an Earthling.

For example, Ina's ruby-like eyes are not characteristic of Earthlings, but she is still a war hero of Earthlings.

But, then again, I, Yu, have a handsome appearance and a beautiful tree in the wind. How could I have a nephew as ugly as you? If you were more beautiful, I would be able to recognize this relative... Thinking of this, Yu Lian was immediately filled with a feeling of disgust, and he almost subconsciously blocked the communication.

But at this time, I heard the big pirate king say again: "Whether it's the empire or the alliance, I can't believe it. Old people like us can only believe in our own eyes. So, general, I have the weakness of the snake's lair here. Do you want to hear it?"

...Well, considering that it is not easy for people to obtain their own communication methods, Mr. Gong Ao's younger brother and right-hand man personally sailed out to surrender and gave many gifts to the senior officials of the three parties. Although the natural gemstone coral tree given to Yu Lian was sold to King Wilente by the latter, out of courtesy, everyone still had a few opportunities to talk and laugh. This is how the opponent got his terminal phone number.

However, even so, they were very careful to use an encrypted communication code. Out of curiosity, Yu Lian asked Golden Whistle to check it out, and learned that it would take at least 15 minutes to completely crack it, and more than an hour to lock the location.

Needless to say, the technical team under the great pirate king Mr. Gong Xiao is also very capable. Yu Lian knew that in another timeline, his "Shibao Ship Group" was the only pirate group in the Spiral Nebula that had its own research institute. And not only in terms of weapons and ships, but also in orbital hydroponic agriculture, many achievements have been made.

All in all, this is a really stylish pirate king.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian suddenly felt that his plain face began to look more beautiful. Take a closer look, although it looks a bit like a bulldog, once you accept this setting, isn't a bulldog also ugly and cute?

Speaking of which, do you still remember the setting that psykers can have a bonus to their appearance? Therefore, the leader of Gong Xiao should not be ugly, but handsome in a way that is not obvious.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian decided to hold his nose and acknowledge the marriage, and showed an amiable smile: "So, it seems that we are relatives who are not too far apart."

His smile suddenly became brighter, even a little more naive: "Isn't that right? The universe is so big, it is not easy to meet people of the same race, let alone relatives. What's more, they are with We are relatives by eye contact, so, my cousin..."

"No, it's really hard for me to accept it! I can recognize my relatives, but I still don't need to call him this." Yu Lian suddenly got goosebumps all over his body and suppressed his smile.

"But, in terms of seniority..."

"One more beep and I'll go crazy now."

The other party also grinned awkwardly and said with a smile: "Okay, let's call him General. In short, I have the weakness of Snake's Den here. General, I have said that I don't trust the Alliance and the Empire, but I really want to trust them." you."

Yu Lian took a deep look at the other party and smiled himself: "That's right. We are all decent people, and we only care about speaking openly. So, Mr. Gong, what do you want?"

His cheeks moved a few times, and his smile suddenly became even more despicable: "As for me, I am said to have millions of people under my command..."

"Is not it?"

"It's a title, it's just a title. It's just flattery. Just like my brothers and colleagues next door, they all care about what I call the palace king. Tsk, my father is just a farmer from Aixu. He has not been a nobleman for eight generations. What kind of person do you think he is?" King." He quickly waved his hand: "In short, leaving aside the soldiers who can carry guns and fight, including some old and weak women and children, the total is about four to five million."

"Old, weak, women and children?" Although Yu Lian was not surprised, he still couldn't help but look at the other party as if he was appraising the visual spectacle.

Indeed, Gong Xiao is a well-organized pirate king who completely treats the territory he occupies in the nebula as territory. There are some gangsters under his command who are drunk now and then, and of course there are also people who are engaged in non-combat jobs.

Sure enough, he opened his mouth and said in a proud and magnanimous tone: "General, our Shibao Ship Group occupies six galaxies in the Spiral Nebula, and has two surface colonies. A space station that can accommodate 300,000 people, with orbital minerals and hydroponic farms. I even signed a planet development and exploration contract with the Boreas Star Company."

"North Wind Star? Their business expanded so quickly?" Yu Lian was shocked.

The so-called Boreas Star is a planet jointly established by the Red Star Agency and now the People's Federation Foundation with funds, ancient Meiya and Terabi mercenaries with manpower, and a famous Russian explorer couple with management. Development company.

Now, one of the comrades of a certain God-chosen champion in the Ares Festival, the ancient Meiya girl Agnes, is the shareholder and executive of this company. Yu Lian did remember that before the Battle of the Dawn Star Territory officially started, the New World Colonial Government of the Blue Star Community had already signed a planet exploration contract with this company. The target of its exploration is, of course, the Lanza galaxy located at the end of the New World Highway - that galaxy was (theoretically) discovered by a team led by Master Lan Jiufeng and Duke Sadolan, hence its name.

Of course, it was also in that galaxy that Yu Lian, his friends, and the empire's "allies" destroyed an ancient ship of the Enlightened Ones, unlocked the starry sky of the Devil's Labyrinth, and discovered two naturally habitable planets.

The empire was not prepared to break up with the community over a planet, so it agreed to keep one planet at a time.

Subsequently, the Borei Star Company focused most of its energy on exploring planets, and even declined a contract from the Community military to explore newly discovered planets in the Dawn Star.

"Uncle Norwich said that there are too many people watching that place, and our new company can't join in the fun. We'd better do our own thing." This is what Agnes sent to Yu Lian in the letter. explained.

At that time, the Gumeiya girl was building a sentry tower on the edge of the planet's dense forest, so she took a break from her busy schedule to record a video letter. In the video, she is wearing light work clothes, still carrying a compound folding bow on her back, and a dazzling array of tool bags hanging around her waist. She looks like a working woman.

Speaking of which, Agnes became a promising and profitable planet explorer here, and her good friend Amiya seemed to have stayed in the imperial capital and was admitted to the Wisdom Palace University. Some ancient Meiya people have returned to their hometown and have become royal employees and administrators of royal gardens and hunting grounds. The other part is leaving the imperial capital through various channels and spreading to the entire universe.

For example, Mr. Qi sent a letter last time, saying that the New China government had taken in 10,000 ancient American refugees.

All in all, everyone has their own future, so it can be considered a good "comma" for the time being.

However, Boreas Star does not dare to go to the Dawn Star Territory to join in the fun, but does it dare to come to the Spiral Cross Nebula to take over the work of pirates?

Gong Xiao said embarrassedly: "...Well, it's because I am a pirate that some big companies still dare not cooperate blatantly. However, although I am a pirate, I personally feel that I am still an angry person. Like Northern Star. A young and powerful new company with good business standards, reasonable fees, and no bias. I like them very much.”

"So, you discovered a habitable planet in the Spiral Cross Nebula?" Yu Lian asked.

The other party nodded slightly: "Whether you use it yourself or sell it to other countries, you must first complete the preliminary exploration."

At this point, he couldn't help but mutter: "We had planned everything, but now there's nothing left! Huh, really, it's all the snake's fault!"

"Indeed, unless the snake dies, there will be no peace in the world." Yu Lian agreed.

The Pirate King nodded and shook his head: "There is a saying. The World Serpent has been hiding deep in the Spiral Cross Nebula for so many years. With their strength, it is quite easy to develop us into minions. . But for so many years, they have always been restrained, and in a sense they have played the role of mediators in the underworld. The large and small pirate groups, gangs, and those god-like religious orders here have all suffered from them. Less gracious."

Yu Lian nodded. This is actually in line with my understanding of the snake that surrounds the world. This strange, joyful, nihilistic organization has never had the idea of ​​unifying the underworld for generations to come.

In a sense, they are much gentler and gentler than the Empire and Alliance.

However, Yu Lian said that the World Snake must still die. After all, this is something that has been decided by the Alliance and the Empire.

"So, the weakness of the snake's lair you mentioned..." Yu Lian paused for a moment, but then smiled: "Let's talk about it, what can I do for you?"

"These four to five million men under my command, my old palace, I can use my wealth and life to assure the great spirit of the universe that they are really unarmed old and weak women and children. Well, after following me for all these days, they are indeed A bit unruly, but overall they are really good people... So, General, can you let the community accept them? Cousin, you are always a hero, and you can't ignore death!"

He didn't wait for Yu Lian to answer, and then said: "No, to be precise, it is not the community, but the New China Star Region."
