Him and their stars

Mr. Zhou once said to us: "The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying. And if you meet a smart and beautiful woman, you have to do it well. You must not cheat or sneak attack."

Because women are actually very sensitive to lies, and beautiful women are even more sensitive. Beautiful and smart women are the most sensitive among sensitives. This doubled and squared sensitivity will bring about even more sensitivity. For men, what they get is naturally nightmare-like years of walking on thin ice and facing the abyss.

All in all, for a mature man who is cautious and emotionally intelligent, the best way to face a smart and beautiful woman like Yani is to express his true feelings and opinions frankly to her.

Thinking of this, Yu Lian wiped his face and said seriously: "Yani, are you lying to me? Didn't you say you were going to attend the trade meeting today?"

Yamida looked at Yu Lian in amazement, as if she was sizing up a cherished Qixing species: "It's over in the morning! But Yu Lian, didn't you say you would rest at the embassy all day today?"

"I've had half a day off! I was forced to come to the interview by Mr. Qi in the afternoon."

"Interview?" Yani was quite interested in this matter: "Isn't it because of the movie "Green"?"

This girl is indeed too smart. It only took her less than half a second to complete the logical derivation of the interview - the closest point of commonality between Mr. Qi and Yu Lian - "The Green Star Princess and the Seven Little Starfish".

"It is indeed because of that "Green"! Thanks to it, I will soon become popular." Yu Liandao: "Remember at eight o'clock on Saturday night, lock in the "Saturday Interview" of the "National Unity Daily"."

"Oh, that street fighting show with a maximum viewing rate of just over 10 million."

Yu Lian thought to himself that this was a bit heartbreaking, could he apologize to the president, the youngest son of a noble family, but he said, "Then you actually knew?"

"Of course I have to know. After all, this media is a civil rights group that is rarely seen in the empire. You see, the orangutans who always like to dance in front of humans are annoying, but if there is one more one with yellow hair , shouldn’t we also protect it carefully? I believe that protecting the diversity of species is also a prerequisite for protecting civilization.”

Yu Lian thought that if you said such things in front of the public, I don’t know how many people would have their views changed and cry to death. Also, can you please stop talking about primates over and over again? They are also close relatives of humans after all.

"Of course I wouldn't say that in front of the public. Even starfish know how to disguise themselves as plants before pouncing on their prey. Humans can't be as good as spiny animals."

Yu Lian didn't want to talk anymore, so he just started laughing awkwardly.

"But, look at your smug look. You must have made a big news, right? Krell formed a girl group with his maids and debuted. The first concert sold 100,000 This was the expression I had when I was signing the ticket."

Wow! I didn’t expect that old man Claire Belmont was so elegant! Is it too late for me to have a good relationship with him now?

"Don't think about it, most of the shares in that girl group's economic company are in my hands. If you have any impure intentions, it would be faster to please me." Yani smiled.

Oh, Brother Belmont, you even poached the maid team? Doesn't this treat you as an enemy?

"Okay, I will watch Planet Six on time. Then depending on the extent of the big news you make, we will see whether you want to add fuel to the fire."

"Please do this. The wider it spreads, the better it will be for the alliance."

"I will, and I will send you a big medal as a gift when the time comes." She smiled: "Then, let's get back to the topic. Have you also found some of Count Salvin's treasures? "

Oh haha! The distraction tactic failed.

"Don't say you don't know. In the past year, you have been to the Foggy City to visit the Salvin Underground Square, to New Seville to visit the publicist left by Duke Tannhäuser, and finally to Rumina. The above places are all places that Count Salvin has visited."

"You are too free-spirited. Those places I went to were all arranged by work! Count Salvin is an environmental senior. He has never been to anywhere in the galaxy? Even your alliance has been there several times, hasn't it?"

"Yes, I have been there three times in total, each time for more than two years. I have good reason that he took the opportunity to record the star map in our country."

It turns out that he is the "scientific expedition team" and "business investment personnel" of this book? I feel so much better all of a sudden!

"Anyway, let's talk about yourself." Yani said with a smile: "Although you can indeed say that the above are all coincidences. You happened to have a brief exchange with the place where Earl Salvin was because of work reasons, but I But I just don’t believe it.”

"So this is the proof of freedom! Aren't you a scientist? You have to talk about evidence."

Yamida raised her graceful eyebrows and said with a smile: "Eh? This is interesting. When did I say that I was a scientist? I am actually a lawless liberal. When I study science, I talk about science and study society. When studying, put interests first..."

Please apologize to the sociologists later! By the way, there are so many people you need to apologize to today!

"When it comes to dealing with Yu Lian, a psyker like you who is full of mysteries will of course have to pay attention to the free mind."

"Bold assumption? Careful verification?" Yu Lian said helplessly.

"No, no need to ask for confirmation! My intuition is number one." She showed a bright and dignified smile

With such a willful and rude attitude, why can this girl act so naturally and confidently without being annoying at all?

Yu Lian pressed his temples, and the corners of his mouth twitched to form a stiff smile. He thought about it seriously and then said: "Okay, if you have to ask... I can only say that by chance, Under the circumstances, I found out some secrets about Count Salvin. He is not only the third-rate painter, first-rate garden artist and environmentalist, and top-notch scholar-bureaucrat as we imagined. In fact, he should also be a top-notch scholar. Psionics, and masters of alchemy of precious phantoms.”

Mr. Zhou also said to us: "When faced with a smart and beautiful woman who cannot be deceived, the best way is to tell the truth."

Of course, the subtext of the gentleman is to learn to tell only part of the truth. However, this move is actually a very advanced skill, and not everyone can master it.

Yani didn't show any surprise. She pondered for a moment, and at the same time waved to Yu Lian, motioning for him to come up to the observatory.

Of course the latter did not refuse and went on stage. However, just as he stopped, he heard the girl say: "Did your so-called coincidence mean that you got the painting left by Count Salvin by chance?"

"What you got is the "Winter Night Snow Appreciation Picture"?" Yu Lian asked.

"Then it seems that the one that fell into your hands should be the "Summer Night Stargazing Map"." Yamida immediately understood: "But, did you really get it by accident?"

"Actually, someone sent it to me. I can't help it. Maybe someone was impressed by my naturally outstanding temperament and Yuan Tingyuezhi's pride? Sometimes I also want to restrain my handsomeness, but this Like a firefly in the dark, too bright and outstanding, there is really nowhere to place such youth." Yu Lian shrugged.

Of course, Yani is not so superficial that she would be fooled by such a joke: "Someone specially sent it to you?"

"It's not that deliberate. It's a kind of tacit understanding that can be said in a thousand words when we first meet each other. This is a kind of empathy where the brilliance of idealism shines into reality. Do you understand?"

If you have the ability, go ask Mr. Trende, and maybe we can get in touch with you early. I don't know, but the reason why the Omnic Brotherhood has grown to such a large scale is partly because of the support of you and your alliance.

It's normal. After all, it's a true state-capitalist political system ruled by plutocrats. Since it is capitalism, it is bound to be filled with sour pragmatism and is relatively more tolerant.

However, the more intelligent a person is, the more rational and scientific they are. At the same time, their material desires are lower, but their spiritual needs are higher, so they are more Bolshevik. Even if Bingxue is as smart as you, this kind of thing must be unthinkable, right?

Yu Lian looked directly into Yani's eyes, his eyes full of justified enthusiasm.

The girl opposite looked away slightly and sneered: "In short, you are indeed exploring the legacy left by Count Salvin, right?"

"Yes, but it's not a huge gain."

Yu Lian thought to himself, I can't be lying. After all, more or less is always a relative concept rather than an absolute concept.

"So far, I can only confirm that this is indeed a powerful person who has left many treasures all over the galaxy. However, while leaving treasures, he also left behind some historical truths that were hidden behind the scenes. Of course, , this also includes some kind of mission he left behind and expected future generations to complete. However, I guess you are not interested in these, right?"

"No, I am actually a little interested in the so-called historical truth he commemorated. As for those so-called missions, I lack empathy. Whether it should appear, or how it should appear, only depends on what it will bring to me. What, or what it brings to the empire.”

What a natural thing for meat-eaters to do! Of course, ordinary meat eaters don’t have such confidence.

"Yani, even if Salvin left some treasures, how can they be comparable to the treasures of the Belenkester family? A poor kid like me, who has nothing but nothing to do, can just come here to dig for treasures. You Why is Her Royal Highness the Princess coming here to join in the fun?"

You know, the Belenkeist family is also a top wealthy family that has been passed down since the days of the Alliance's home planet. Not to mention the "ends of mortals" such as big capitalists, great politicians, great scholars, or great artists, even the top masters in the extraordinary field have made countless achievements. Although they often act like "we are just ordinary citizens of the Alliance" and really talk about the background of mysticism, they are definitely not under the Imperial Family of Dawn.

"There are no princesses in the Alliance, only ordinary citizens who pay taxes legally and enjoy all rights protected by law. I am just one of them." Seeing that Yu Lian had begun to roll his eyes, she continued: "Of course, this Noble Phantasm Who would think there are too many things? Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so it’s okay to explore around. Unfortunately, I walked around the garden and found nothing. The only thing that is a bit suspicious is probably here. Come on." She said.

Yu Lian thought for a while and asked: "In your "Viewing the Snow in Winter", the scene is here?"

"No, it is in the manor on his fief, with his parents and family." Yani shook her head and said: "However, Earl Salvin's family has been extinct, the fiefdom has been taken back, and now it is directly controlled by the Imperial Prime Minister's Office. Integrated management. The mines of mithril and spiritual marrow were discovered in that place thirty years ago. It is now the location of a very important zero element production area and a mysterious weapons workshop in the empire. It is not easy to visit. Even if there is really something there, It’s impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of the empire for so long.”

Yu Lian smiled and said: "Perhaps it was because the empire discovered something that the Earl Salvin family became extinct."

Yani glanced at Yu Lian and said with a smile: "If you want to estimate the lower limit of the Dawn Royal Family with the greatest malice, that's fine. Anyway, that's what Nephi's commander-in-chief and his cabinet ministers have always done. However, you shouldn’t be the type who gets angry without any target, do you already know something?”

Yu Lian thought to himself that I did know something, so he confidently said: "One billion."

"ha?"

"Information stars. I mean, the information about some little information about Count Salvin and the location of the treasure here requires one billion information stars. Information is a scarce resource! This is what a friend from the Sharing Foundation gave me. ah!"

"The reason why those group of intelligence dealers can exist today is just because the balance between the Alliance and the Empire allows some gray channels in the galaxy. How can it be justified?" The eldest lady of the Belenkester family stretched out. His tone was unbelievable and unacceptable: "Yu Lian, I thought we were friends. How can you do this?"

"Because we are friends, I hope we can reach a consensus on this matter from the root! Is there any consensus in this world that is more stable than money transactions? You are the princess of the alliance! You should understand this truth. "

"They all say that there is no princess in the alliance." Yani said with a smile: "However, this is quite true...so, let's just say 100 million."

"There is no way to bargain for a tenth of the price. At most, since we are close comrades-in-arms, we can give you a 10% discount."

"Can a 99% discount be called a discount? Then considering that we are close comrades-in-arms, it will be 109.13 cents."

"What the hell is nine dollars and thirteen cents?"

"It's your birthday! Think of it as a birthday gift to you."

"Then I really appreciate your reward!"

In short, after a round of bargaining, Yu Lian and Yamida finally reached a consensus on the amount of 650 million Xinxing. There is no way. Recently, Red Star Design Institute is undergoing comprehensive expansion. There are too many places where money needs to be spent. Every little bit you can make is worth it. Of course, this amount of money was probably just Miss Bei's snack money, so she didn't feel any pain at all, as if she was just enjoying the bargaining process just now.

Then, Yu Lian saw Yamida making a phone call that lasted less than half a minute. Immediately afterwards, within half a minute, his terminal received a message that there was really an extra 650 million in his anonymous secret account at Libra Bank.

It turns out this is really your pocket money!

"I am almost certain that Count Salvin was once a snake man." Yu Liandao.

Yamida nodded, but she didn't seem too touched.

Yu Lian understood at this moment that the eldest lady of the Berenkeist family most likely noticed the special features of Earl Salvin when she was dealing with snakes, and she should have suspected this.

"Count Salvin is actually Emperor Elansel's number one traitor! Before the emperor ascended the throne, the purge of the central system and the Senate was actually directed at Count Salvin."

This time, the eldest lady of the Bei family finally showed an moved expression. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a glint flashed in her eyes. Yu Lian could even feel that this girl's brain was already moving rapidly like a fast-running computer.
