To the people of the Interstellar Exploration Team, this experience was more convincing than any report card. After the battleship returned to the team, the internal management of the fleet went through a replay of the entire process. Combining it with Meng Tian's various performances in the Milky Way Military College, they appointed Meng Tian as the acting captain of the 12th battleship.
Even under the Milky Way Military College system, there had never been a student acting captain. Without question, if Meng Tian could complete this mission alive, her life would take an extraordinary leap.
Planet Maklou. This planet was also rather barren. Other than the Fallen Paradise, the other places were basically uninhabitable by humans. They were either mining areas of various sizes, or places like blockhouses. Other than some bored thrill-seekers, or fugitives, no one would leave the city.
The Fallen Paradise was like an oasis in the desert. Not only was it safe, but it was also incomparably prosperous. Along the way, Old Xiao was very cocky as he introduced the surroundings to Wang Zheng.
"The entire city's energy is inexhaustible. It can be called an eternal source of energy. This is something no other planet can do, and the most awesome thing about the Fallen Paradise."
This originated from Maklou itself. It could be said that this planet itself could use human technology to directly extract energy. It was actually a little similar to Tita Star, just with different characteristics.
"Old Xiao, where do you plan to take me to see? I hear it's very exciting here." Wang Zheng smiled. Since he was out, he had to make good use of this day.
"Heh heh, kid. Don't worry. I'll definitely take you to see it today. But since you're out, you have to know that the three powers in the Fallen Paradise cannot be touched," Old Xiao said.
Wang Zheng shrugged. "Oh?"
"Kid, don't be unconvinced. I know you have some skills, but the entire Fallen Paradise is under the rule of the three powers. Even a dragon crossing the river has to bow down here," Old Xiao said.
Wang Zheng smiled. "That's cool. What's all this stuff? Let me see it too."
"Well … I'm a little thirsty," Old Xiao said, smacking his lips.
Wang Zheng nodded. "I've collected my salary today. You find a place."
More than 10 minutes later, the two were drinking large mugs of beer. It was rather authentic, more authentic than most places. The aroma of wheat was refreshing. Staying in the dark, hot, and sultry mines was driving one crazy. Drinking such a large mug of beer was heaven.
No wonder it was said that this was a paradise for depravity. Sometimes, a huge contrast was enough to make people fall.
The Bill family controls casinos and underground fights. They also have a lot of connections with the underworld. They are also the family you should not offend. Don't say I didn't remind you. The second is the Hong Lirong family. The current family head is a woman, and she's very sexy and hot. It's said that if you can have a night with her, it'll be worth it even if you die, "Old Xiao said with some yearning." Let's not talk about the past. The one who rules Maklou now is the Bill family.
Seeing Wang Zheng's nonchalant smile, Old Xiao was unhappy. "Don't doubt me, kid. That Hong Lirong is a woman among women."
"Old Xiao, have you seen him before?"
"I haven't seen her. It's said that those who have seen her face are all dead. I haven't lived long enough. The Hong Lirong family controls most of the lifestyle and entertainment industries in Fallen Paradise. The third is the Julian family. They control the port and are also responsible for the connection with the Milky Way Alliance. The three families each take a third of the mining profits."
Old Xiao took a bite. "That's an astronomical amount of income every year."
"I'm curious. Is there no army here? Why doesn't the Milky Way Alliance take over, but manage it themselves?" Wang Zheng asked.
Old Xiao looked at Wang Zheng and smiled. "First of all, the factors that formed this place are complicated. Who has the right to take over? Secondly, although there is no army here, as long as the eternal energy here explodes, the entire planet will be set aflame."
Ping …
Old Xiao made an exaggerated gesture. "You can imagine the consequences of a planet with this kind of energy collapsing and becoming a black hole."
Old Xiao did not need to explain. Wang Zheng was a professional. It would cause the surrounding star fields to be in chaos for a long time. Clearly, the impact was huge. The Milky Way Alliance was also cautious. Of course, to the people here, it was better to live than to die. Unless it was absolutely necessary, there was no need for a life-and-death struggle.
But what was his Easter mission?
Could it be that they wanted him to destroy the three powers … This Elite Academy X thought too highly of him. Give him 100 lives first.
"No wonder this place is so nourishing. Oh right, Old Xiao, is Easter celebrated here?" Wang Zheng asked casually.
Old Xiao smiled faintly. "Kid, on account of this glass of beer, I'll give you a suggestion. No matter where you come from or what you want to do, staying alive is the most important thing. Alright, enjoy yourself from now on. I'm going to go see my old lover."
Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. Was he so obvious? This agent was such a failure.
Old Xiao, who had not gone far, came back. "Lend me 100 dollars."
Wang Zheng took out 200 dollars. Old Xiao did not stand on ceremony. "Easter is a ghost festival. That's for the dead."
Old Xiao took the fare and left, leaving Wang Zheng alone. Wang Zheng rubbed his face. Granny's leg, his whole body was full of righteousness. Gold would really shine wherever it went.
But it was useless. This kind of spiritual victory could only comfort himself. Wang Zheng could not keep drinking like this. One had to know that he could only come out once every half a month. If this went on, he did not know what the fighting machine would be like. He might really become a professional miner.
Just as Wang Zheng was wondering if he should go to the underground arena to solve the problem, a kid walked over, craning his neck. "Big Brother, can you lend me 100 dollars?"
Student Wang was also depressed. How did he look like a rich person???
He had a total of 5,000 dollars. After deducting the travel expenses, he was left with 4,000. This drink just now was 1,000 dollars. Old Xiao took away 200 dollars. He was also a poor man.
Wang Zheng looked at this kid who was about 10 years old. The kid smiled and sized Wang Zheng up.
"I can give you 100 dollars, but what can you do for me?" Wang Zheng said.
"One look and I know big brother is a straightforward person. I'm a local tyrant. As long as it's something you want to know, I can get it." The kid said very confidently.
Wang Zheng gave the kid 100 dollars. "Bring me to the best underground arena."
The kid smiled. He had a small dimple and was very cute. "If you give me 100 dollars, you'll be my big brother. It's a piece of cake. Wait a moment, I need to go to the toilet."
Wang Zheng waved his hand. The kid disappeared into the crowd after a while. Suddenly, Wang Zheng realized a very serious problem.
At the back door, the child stuffed the hundred dollars into his pocket. Although it was a little dirty, one could see that his eyes were very lively. "What an idiot. Sigh, I'm too kind. I only took one hundred dollars."
"Little kid, are you forcing me to rob you?" Wang Zheng said with a smile. The kids here did not learn good things and treated him like a passerby.
