CH 19

Xiao Zhi squatted in front of them and asked the basic question first: “What is your name?”

The blue flower pants on the left said: “A11.”

The yellow flower pants on the right said: “A12.”

Xiao Zhi: “… tell me the truth.”

The two looked at each other: “This is the truth…”

Xiao Zhi feels that he can’t keep up with the times. How come human beings don’t even bother to think about names six hundred years later?

They were probably asked before, and A11 explained: “We were produced under the artificial cultivation plan, but when the cultivation was completed, the people who were in the plan were no longer needed. Later, we were sent to the orphanage to grow up. I’m too lazy to change my name, and it’s easy to remember anyway.”

Xiao Zhi frowned: “Is this legal?”

A12 shook his head: “It’s probably illegal, right? I heard we were the last batch, and the base behind was destroyed. I don’t know what happened.”

A11 said: “Here, it is very common that a new base appears and then disappears inexplicably.”

It sounded like a dangerous planet that was chaotic and unregulated.

Xiao Zhi asked: “Where is this place?”

A11 died and said, “This mine is used to be a mining star for Dixiam, but after the mining was finished, the planet was abandoned and the rich moved away, so the poor kept it.”

“I heard from the old people that everyone was pleased with the beginning. They all moved to the new city to live in the houses where the wealthy stayed. You can live wherever you want, and you can also live without any hard work. It’s easy every day.”

“But then the protective cover of the new city gradually broke, the temperature was too high, and nothing could grow on the ground, so I could only buy canned food from the merchant ship from outside, and it became more and more difficult for everyone.”

“There will always be strange people coming here, and then giving money to the people in Xincheng, and giving us food. Everyone agrees no matter what they are here for, we wouldn’t care.”

Xiao Zhi asked: “Have you ever wanted to leave?”

A11: “We have no identities. Everyone outside has a personal terminal. We can’t go anywhere except this place.”

A12 interrupted: “If I have money, I will definitely leave here. If I have money, I can do everything.”

Xiao Zhi looked at A12: “How will you leave?”

A12 scratched his head: “Every month, a class of spacecraft comes here, and I can quietly lie on it and leave.”

Xiao Zhilooked at him inexplicably: “The spacecraft is moving towards the universe, and you are lying on it?”

A12 nodded.

Xiao Zhi: “……”

Have you ever been to school? If you want to go up, it will get cold if you can even get out of the atmosphere.

A11‌ pat the back of A12’s head: “Can’t you take the ticket if you have money?! What if you accidentally drop it?”

A12 covered his head: “I heard that you have to use a personal terminal to buy ferry tickets. I can’t buy it!”

A11 growled: “Idiot! You won’t grab someone else’s ticket! Steal someone else’s ticket! Do you want to get in with fake tickets!”

A12’s face was stunned as if an apple had smashed Newton ‌.

Xiao Zhi: “……”

D8796-11, ‌A good place for outstanding individuals.

But he caught a key: “Is the ferry ticket a physical ticket?”

They nodded.

Xiao Zhi felt a little weird. In his generation, the earth has begun to implement electronic tickets. It has not come to the interstellar age after six hundred. Instead, physical keys are still being used. Maybe only this remote area is like this?

Xiao Zhi: “Where is the ticket office?”

The two looked at each other.

A12: “What is the ticket office..?”

A11: “It’s a place where money and food are exchanged for tickets…”

A12: “There is another place. Where is it?”

A11: “I haven’t bought a ticket, but…maybe in the central area. Every time I see people coming from outside, they will move there first.”

Xiao Zhi thought about how to leave this place. Even if he traveled to the future and became an unregistered resident, he would not stay in this chaotic place where he couldn’t see the future.

The world is so big, and he always has to go out and have a look.

Moreover, he also needs to find a device that can connect to ZERO. Assen is the only surviving friend of his age. He needs to figure out what happened to Assen.

In ZERO’s world, every NPC is too real. He can’t just treat them as boring data.

This is also the feeling of many ZERO players. There are many posts in the forum asking how to deal with the relationship with NPCs. Everyone has discussed it hundreds of times, and there is no definite result.

One of the famous veteran players replied: “when you are wondering whether he should be a friend, in fact, your heart already thinks that he is a friend. You see, he is an AI, and he thinks you are still a crazy Assanasi. No one should dislike each other. “This remark attracted the approval of many players.

It’s no use having too much money. He has neither a terminal nor a common currency. For now, he’d better find a place to rest or at least deal with tonight.

Xiao Zhi looked at the two of them: “Where do you live?”

A11 became vigilant and folded his arms around his chest: “You, you, you, what are you doing?”

A12 also learned the movements of A11 and looked at him.

Xiao Zhi: “……”

Even this stubborn big brother has to guard him. Does he look like a rascal?!

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and decided not to reason with them.

*

After a while, A11 and A12 each had more bags on their heads, and Xiao Zhi came to the broken house. The room was unremarkable, and it didn’t seem abrupt in the piled-up room.

The two people worked together to remove the giant stone blocking the door, opened the door respectfully, and invited Xiao Zhi to go in.

When Xiao Zhi stepped into the room, he was faced with the big pantshunges everywhere. There were so many holes that he couldn’t figure out which one to look at. He didn’t know what hobby these two people had. They want to hang their pants at the door, hoping the whole town to see?

The area is not small, and the old decoration can be vaguely seen, but now it is all mottled.

The room was messy, and the floor was full of empty cans. There were piles of clothes and sundries everywhere. There were also two kennel-like bed boards, which vividly showed the rough man’s life.

Xiao Zhi scanned the circle and reluctantly picked a table with a lame leg and sat on it. Before he had time to speak, a figure broke into the room rudely.

“Idiots, take out the cans. I said you still have stock!” The rude voice sounded.

That was a tall, fat man, his arms were full of muscles, and there were many scars on his face, making it hard to see his appearance, leaving only the hideous feeling of a beast.

A11 and A12 couldn’t help shrinking when they saw him coming. It seems that they usually suffer a lot from him.

Xiao Zhi asked: “Who is this?”

A11 whispered: “Didru, the best player around here is the boss of this area.”

Didru also sees Xiao Zhi, seeing him as a new face. He couldn’t help but establish his prestige first, and his fierce gaze scanned A11 and A12: “You didn’t have my permission to bring others here!”

A11 and A12 looked at him, and then at Xiao Zhi, feeling that they were both uncomfortable, so they didn’t dare to say anything.

Didru was irritated by this attitude. The two men did not immediately beg for his forgiveness, which means his deterrent power has fallen in their hearts.

He looked dangerously at Xiao Zhi, who was wearing a black robe and was not very sturdy.

‌ Instantly, Didru ‌ silently raised his hand to Xiao Zhi, revealing the worn-out assembly-gun in his hand, and directly pulled the trigger with a bang.

The breathing of A11 and A12 stopped. They could not be as fierce as today’s Didru! Where did he get the gun?

Their hearts are cold, and the person in the black cloak, no matter how powerful he is, how can he use his flesh to fight against the bullet? On this planet where the law of the jungle is prevalent, the righteousness of weapons is fighting, and even a self-made assembly-gun from scrap metal is powerful enough to hurt people.

Today, they are afraid it is inevitable that there will be three feet of blood splashing, and they will definitely be liquidated by Didru, who just underperformed.

Unexpectedly, the gun failed.

Xiao Zhi seemed to realize that Didru would shoot and made a dodge action the moment he raised his hand.

‌Xiao Zhi saw that Didru’s movements were too slow. There would be no such person launching a sneak attack at such a slow speed in ZERO, except for a rookie.

‌‌In an instant, a fireball blasted towards Didru, blasting his fat body directly upside down, and the gun fell to the ground.

Didru was a little bewildered by the sudden attack. His clothes and hair were all scorched. He lay in the trash and looked at Xiao Zhi. His eyes were full of skeptics.

What’s this..

A11 and A12 are also full of shock. Could it be that aliens have invaded? ! Or mutants?

Xiao Zhi looked at him, casually babbling: “You are only allowed to have a gun, and I am not allowed to have a miniature flame particle ejector?”

When the three of them heard the words, they looked at the staff in his hand in awe. Is this just a high-tech weapon?

They heard that the big guys outside would try to disguise their weapons as things for daily use to be carried at any time. They haven’t seen it until today. And, seeing how he took out the weapon casually, is there still a legendary space button on his body?!

The three of them looked at Xiao Zhi’s eyes as if they were visiting a shining rich man.

Xiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the uneducated guy is so cheating. But in the future, it’s better not to cast spells in front of people. It’s too unscientific. He does not want to be imprisoned in a weird research institute.

Xiao Zhi continued to act. He walked towards Didru step by step, with a smile on his face: “From today, the boss in this area has changed. Do you have anything to say?”

Didru looked at the “miniature flame particle ejector” that was getting closer and closer and couldn’t help sweating on his forehead.

After being tortured several times, he had been baffled about how badly he had been hit. His tongue knotted several times before he said the words smoothly: “Dang, of course not.”

Xiao Zhi took advantage of Didryu’s unpreparedness and squeezed Assen’s cookies into his mouth. When he saw his face turn pale for an instant, he nodded: “You can go now. If you give me trouble, you’ll know the consequences for yourself.”

Didru clutched his throat: “This is…what…”

Xiao Zhi didn’t answer, “get out, don’t get in the way,” behaved like a gangster, and he didn’t know who he learned from.

Didru sensed Xiao Zhi’s displeasure. He hurriedly picked himself upon the ground and retreated hastily before the broken pants-crotch could be covered.

He also picked up the gun that had fallen from the ground and heard Xiao Zhi coughing lightly. It seemed that he had something to say. Didru didn’t even dare to pick up the gun in an instant and stepped forward with two thick thighs running away.

The A11 and A12 eyes who watched the whole process showed unconcealable worship. So cold and ruthless! Is this the demeanor of interstellar wanted criminals?

A11 said excitedly: “Big Brother! Take us, and we’ll get in with you in the future!”

A12 is more direct: “Dad, I am your long-lost relative !!!”

Xiao Zhi: “…Get out!”

He doesn’t have this son! ! !

A11 said: “Brother, do you want to occupy a site here in the future? There is no supervision, and it is suitable for your development.”

Xiao Zhi shook his head: “No, I will go elsewhere.”

A11 seemed to understand something, and he gave Xiao Zhibi a thumbs up: “So you are an interstellar wandering thief! Many planets must have wanted you!”

Xiao Zhi: “……”

You learned the skill of flattering from a donkey, right?
