Chapter 85 Insults

As a military-government coalition government accommodating 360 intelligent races, Interstellar has the technological strength developed by integrating the intelligence and resourcefulness of all intelligent races.

Today, with the highly developed interstellar technology, the exploration of the universe is only a small step forward.

The vast and boundless universe, like a black bottomless behemoth, devours all those who try to challenge it.For thousands of years, countless explorers with romantic dreams and ambitions have silently disappeared into the darkness of the universe.

But with the high risk comes the equally attractive high returns.The rules formulated by the Interstellar General Assembly stipulate that any individual or team that discovers and announces a new star field will receive ten years of priority development rights for that star field.During this ten years, they can give priority to other interstellar organizations to discover resources and conduct exploration in the new star field.

This is a sweet pastry that is enough to tempt anyone.

Therefore, the red commission that appeared in the mercenary hall this time - the exploration of an ancient star field attracted so many adventurers to participate.After all, once it succeeds, the profits will be unimaginably huge.

Of course, the premise is that you can survive to get this profit.

But for most mercenaries in exile in the interstellar world, taking risks with their lives is what they usually do all the time, and there is nothing to hesitate about.

Therefore, Gals, who arrived at the meeting place early the next day, found that the number of mercenaries gathered here was no less than last night, and there seemed to be an increasing trend.It is estimated that some people have called friends.

"Ah! Here, Gals!"

As soon as he entered the NO.13 airport, Gals heard someone shouting his name.

The young mercenary frowned unaccustomedly and followed the prestige.I saw two men and a woman approaching in the distance. It was Li Yang and his group who just reached a temporary alliance agreement with him yesterday.The human mercenary still took the lead with a hearty smile on his face. Li Yang and his two companions walked towards Gals.

"Very punctual." The human mercenary smiled. "I thought I'd come early enough."

"Adherence to time is a must." Gals replied after glancing at a few people. "Arriving early is a respect for the client."

Li Yang and the others looked at each other and thought to themselves.As expected of the Vail tribe, known for their strictness, punctuality is their custom.Fortunately, the few of us were not late today, otherwise it would be bad to leave a bad impression on our new companion.

But they didn't know that the good habit of time was just a habit that Gals, or Cheng Zhen, had always cultivated in the academy.But he obviously didn't need to explain so much to these temporary companions.

In the dilapidated living room yesterday, Gals and the three reached a short-lived alliance agreement.During this quest, they will act together as a small group with shared interests, sharing information and helping each other.

For Cheng Zhen, he now needs a helper who can help him conceal his true identity, so he agreed without hesitation.In addition to being able to get rid of the attention of celibacy, the inviter is a human being, which is also one of the reasons why he agreed to this invitation.

It was beyond his expectation to meet a compatriot mech pilot at the border thousands of miles away.As we all know, there are only a few hundred meters of mech pilots in the entire human army. How could such a cherished talent end up here.

This Li Yang should also have an unusual story.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhen, who now looks like a Vatican, looked at the port.Who doesn't have a secret of their own?Whether it's me, Li Yang, or that mysterious client.

It is not an ordinary person to have a star map of the ancient star field.

Just as he was thinking, the client who issued the task finally arrived late under the waiting of all the mercenaries.

"I'm very glad that all of you persevered and did not give up participating in this difficult journey." He was still dressed the same as yesterday, and through the weird mask, the client's voice seemed a little distorted. "I'm glad that you all made wise choices. Taking this journey is definitely the most worthwhile adventure for you."

The mercenaries responded calmly to the client's inflammatory speech.

"Then, as I said yesterday, everyone who arrived here today will set off with me on this voyage of exploration. However, in order to reduce the burden and trouble of the journey, I hope that you will take the same ship with me, so as not to It caused too much delay. As for your mechas, please rest assured that there is enough space in this ship prepared by me for everyone to store your own mechas." As if afraid of the mercenaries expressing dissatisfaction, entrusted The man continued. "Don't worry, we will provide professional mecha maintenance personnel to maintain and repair the mecha for you. As for the ship you are going to take, please look to the left. The ship that is approaching the port is the ship that you will live together in the future. "

The mercenaries, who were about to complain about their dissatisfaction, looked in the direction pointed by the client, and all of them were stunned for a moment.

What a huge mech it was, it was about the size of a mid-level warship, and it took up more than half of the berth after it approached No.13 port.Compared with this behemoth, the ships parked next to it are like a baby standing beside the giant.

"I hope everyone can understand my unfeeling request this time. After all, there are too many unknown risks in this journey. I just want to provide you with as good an environment as possible." The client was still there to persuade.

But at this time, there is no need for him to waste his words, as long as he is a sensible person, he will make the right choice.To survive in a universe full of risks, a powerful mothership is essential.

"Hey, what kind of background does this guy have." Among the newly met companions, the tall and big man Donna exclaimed. "It's like a warship!"

Both Melissa and Li Yang who were traveling together were silent, but looked at the client with complicated eyes.This is really a good move to shake the mountain and shake the tiger. With this song, those mercenaries who have different intentions may not easily reveal their ambitions.After all, no one wanted to offend a mysterious figure with such a strong backstage background.

Only Cheng Zhen looked at the client with suspicion and vigilance.

This ship is not like a warship at all, it is a modified warship!If it hadn't been for a period of special training and close contact in Storm Fortress, even he would not be able to recognize him.

Teacher Victor, Your Excellency Moyun.It seems that this time, he finally hit the mission target.

Thinking of his real purpose of lurking for the past three months, the young man disguised as the Vaer race darkened, and quietly clenched his hands.This time, it is estimated that it will be a long time before I can go back to school.

In the end, two or three mercenaries chose to withdraw, and most of them decided to continue this commission.The next thing to do is the cumbersome registration work, register each mercenary and the mechs they carry one by one, and land on the ship.

Gals stood in line with the others as the tedious process slowly progressed.And as time went on, gradually some people became impatient, and queue jumpers began to appear.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Let me register first!" A rough voice came from behind, accompanied by a burst of pushing.

For some reason, none of the mercenaries who had always been bad-tempered protested the arbitrariness of the queue jumper, but silently moved out of the way.When the queue jumper approached Gals and the others, Li Yang and Melissa looked at each other helplessly, and immediately stepped aside.

Sometimes, an appropriate step back is a wise choice.

Only, Trouble didn't choose to avoid them.

"Huh? Human?" When passing by Li Yang, the queue jumper hesitated for a moment, then turned around.

"Ha, look what I saw!" the guy said excitedly. "In this team, there is an unsightly little mouse! My God, you guys, do you think this is just an ordinary commission? Get the hell out of here, I want to be caught by you idiots on the next trip!" I was dragged down!"

Li Yang's face was pale, the other party's undisguised loud voice, and the saliva that almost sprayed on his face made him feel extremely humiliated.But at this moment, it was obvious that he was still rational, and he just turned aside Dona, who was angrily about to rush forward, and said in a very restrained voice.

"Marley Antok, I know you are an excellent mecha pilot, but this is not a reason for you to insult others at will!"

"Insult??" The man named Marley laughed. "I'm just telling the truth, how can it be considered an insult! As a human being, you know your own strength best, don't you? Only the weak will unite their companions, because they cannot save their lives by themselves."

The rude man sneered. "Look at your accomplices, who are they... Well, a stupid Gaoshan tribe, a female who can only rely on her beauty. I can defeat you guys all by myself." Chill out. "I advise you to get out of here quickly, I'm in a bad mood now, and I don't want to see things that are in the way!"

"This bastard...!" Melissa cursed in a low voice, with humiliation and anger in her eyes.

But at the same time, they all held on to Dona tightly, preventing their companions from going up to do their best.Because as the mercenary named Marley said, even if the three of them add up, they are not his opponent alone.Marley Antok is a well-known strong hand among mercenaries.

As for Li Yang, apart from anger, there was more sadness in his heart at this time.As a human mecha pilot, over the years, he has gotten used to a lot of contempt and ridicule.Patience for fate made him learn to endure these ridicules.

But what makes him sad is that today he can only let his partners accompany him to accept the humiliation in vain, and he is even powerless to fight back!

Just because what Marley said was mostly true.The other party laughed at his own weakness with the facts, Li Yang was only angry, but more bitter.He now only hopes that the client can discover the chaos here as soon as possible, so that his partners can be liberated from this unreasonable humiliation.

The sad and angry human mercenaries were looking forward to this, but they didn't expect that the one who finally freed them was not the imaginary client.

"It's not them who should leave here, but you."

A cold and quiet voice broke the deadlock, and instantly, like a refreshing breeze, awakened everyone's increasingly feverish minds.

The handsome young man of the Van Er nationality approached under the gaze of everyone.The usually indifferent face now carried a hint of sarcasm.

The outstanding appearance, tall and slender figure, and the most important thing is the pair of pointed ears, which immediately let everyone know the race of this young man.

"Heretic..." someone in the crowd whispered.

The Vail clan, which has become powerful by changing its own genes, enjoys the title of heretics among other interstellar races, which is not a good reputation.

Marley obviously recognized the other party's identity, and was a little taken aback. "You want to meddle in your own business? A Vail pilot."

It's just that his tone at this time is not so arrogant.

Just as resounding as the heretics is the fighting power of the Vail clan, which is comparable to that of the golden clan.Coupled with their character of vengeance and defense.No one dares to be too arrogant in front of this group of heretics.

Seeing the obvious change in the other party's attitude, Cheng Zhenxin laughed mockingly.Immediately, he put on the indifferent tone that belonged to Gals again, and said softly.

"Unfortunately, I'm not in a good mood, and in my opinion, getting rid of you will make me feel better."

The slender pointed ears seemed to tremble, the young man named Garth said slowly.

"I'll give you two choices, leave by yourself, or be invited away by me." The handsome Vaer tribe evoked a sarcastic smile. "Hope you're smart enough to make wise decisions, lesser one."
