While Lung and Berzett were talking, the communicator in the office outside the lounge rang, and it seemed to be going out of control.
Lung covered his ears and rolled around on the seashell sofa. "It must be that woman, Yu Linglong. I'm not going to pick her up even if you beat me to death."
"If you don't pick her up, I'm guessing that little princess Yu will come for you directly," Berzett said with certainty.
"I don't care. I won't meet her even if she comes for me. If she had even a tenth of her courage to meet Silin, would I have to be like this? "
When he thought about how Yu Linglong had turned from a highly intelligent and dangerous woman into a gentle and harmless little lamb when she talked about Silin, Lung felt goosebumps all over his body.
Berzett sighed. "But, the Andriera Family's business will be affected. If that's the case, I don't know how long you'll have to stay here, young master."
The old master had given him a mission to be forcefully thrown to Planet Ouruk to manage the affairs of the Andriera Family. If he did not meet the old master's standards, then Lung would have to stay here forever.
Hearing Berzett's words, Lung, who was rolling around on the sofa, froze. He straightened his back and rushed toward the office.
"You can take the opportunity to fight for the development rights of that planet in the H-U district," Berzett reminded him from behind.
"That's a must!" If he did not talk about conditions, he would be a fool among fools.
Silin was completely unaware of Linglong and Lung's troubles. After leaving the Andriera Family's building, he went to buy some candies along the way. This was what he promised Tang Qiuqiu.
Planet Ouruk was filled with money, power, and desire. High-end flying cars could be seen everywhere, and people more beautiful than the last ostentatiously flaunted their wealth. Walking on the streets, the workers who came and went in a hurry seemed to be wearing a layer of mask on their faces, and their hearts could not be seen. The rapid pace of life left people with no time to relax, and they gradually became numb to it. They had unknowingly gotten used to putting on a disguise.
When he returned to Feniers' place, Castella and Kirk looked at Silin with a strange expression.
"Vice-captain Silin, you and the young master of the Andriera Family … have a good relationship?" Castella asked.
"Yeah, we knew each other a long time ago. We haven't seen each other for a few years. Today, we got to get to know each other."
Silin didn't try to hide it either. He knew that the Feniers Family had sent someone to follow them, so they must have known about the situation in the square. However, Silin did not intend to say anything more. Silin did not care what Castella and Kirk thought. Tang Qiuqiqiu's mission this time was more or less completed.
After talking for a while, Silin went to find Tang Qiuqiu and gave her the colored candy and toothpaste he had bought on the way here.
However, Silin didn't know that his position in Castella and Kirk's hearts had risen by yet another level. Not just anyone could have such a good relationship with young master Lung. In fact, Lung had only given the quota to the Feniers Family because of Silin's face. In this case, it would seem that the cooperation negotiation this time would go relatively smoothly.
In terms of influence in Sector H, the Feniers Family and the Bin Family combined might not necessarily compare to the Andriera Family. This was also the reason why Castella thought more highly of Silin.
They probably didn't expect that the thing that caused them such great trouble in Zafia not long ago was young master Lung's handiwork.
In the next two days, just as Castella thought, their cooperation negotiation with Andriera went quite smoothly. Two days later, both parties signed the contract, and the rest was Kirk's responsibility. Castella still had to escort Tobo back.
Huimao was quite happy to leave this planet. He didn't like this planet. Of course, that aquarium in Lung's office was the exception.
They boarded the starship once more, left the most gorgeous planet in Sector H, and flew straight to Sector F.
The flight was very smooth. They didn't run into any obstructions or other troubles, and when they approached Sector F, they ran into the Feniers Family's corvettes that had been ordered to wait for them. With these corvettes, it could be said that Tang Qiuqiqiu's mission had come to an end.
Cillin and Tang Qiuqiu did not follow Castella and the others to the Feniers Family's headquarters. When they passed by the transfer planet at Sector F, Cillin and Tang Qiuqiu boarded the spaceplane Castella had arranged for them and landed on the transfer planet.
Tang Qiuqiu received the two million reward for this mission, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep well for a few days. She kept thinking about where to go next.
Inside a restaurant on the F-C100 transit star, Tang Qiuqiu flipped through the documents in her hands. These documents were about some of Sector F's tourist attractions. Even Tang Qiuqiu felt dizzy just looking at them. If it was possible, she really wished that she could visit every single one of them.
Unable to make a choice, Tang Qiuqiu pushed the documents to Silin, "You choose, big brother Silin. I don't know where to go."
Cillin received Tang Qiuqiu's information and gave it a look. He was mainly looking at the characteristic planets of Division F-C because they were closer to this place, and there would be fewer incidents involving the Feniers Family if they were in Division F-C.
"How about this one?" Silin pointed at one of the introductions and said.
It was one of the more famous planets of Sector F-C, Acerella.
Acerella meant 'flying car' in Sector F's Sector language, and just like its name, Acerella was famous for its flying car race. Every year, a lot of people would travel to Acerella to watch the flying car race, and there were many places in Sector F that broadcast the race. But if the conditions were right, more people would be willing to watch the race in person.
However, Acerella's championship race had not arrived yet. If they went now, they would only be able to watch the elimination race. This was a pity to Silin.
"Not bad. But, big brother Silin, what does' three 'in the Triceratops Flying Car Race mean?" Tang Qiuqiu asked interestedly.
Beside her, Huimao who was struggling with grilled fish on his plate also pricked up his ears.
"A flying car that can travel normally in all three conditions — water, land, and air — is called a Triceratops Flying Car Race, and a race that only uses Triceratops Flying Car Race is called the Triceratops Flying Car Race. The race venue should also be suitable for all three environmental conditions." Silin explained.
The Triceratops Flying Car Race was a favorite sport of many people in the galaxy. More commercial activities were launched because of the Triceratops Flying Car Race. Among them was car gambling. Back at Planet Brown Earth in Sector X, Old Devon often gambled cars, and Silin had helped him win some prize money from car gambling to improve his life.
"It sounds interesting. Let's go to Acerella then!"
"Right now, Acerella's championship race is far from here. If we go, we will only be able to watch the elimination race."
"That's fine too. I want to see what the Triceratops Flying Car Race is like." Tang Qiuqiu's eyes were bright with yearning. The Triceratops Flying Car Race sounded very exciting.
There was even a spectator group specifically going to Acerella's race under Acerella's introduction. However, neither Silin nor Tang Qiuqiu were willing to join the group. They preferred to move around freely.
After the meal, two people and one cat casually strolled around the transit planet before boarding the passenger plane to Acerella. Huimao seemed to have gotten used to it. He immediately switched to sleep mode after entering the pet cabin.
When they came out of Acerella's port, the first reaction people had was — there were so many cars!
There were all kinds of flying cars of all shapes and sizes. There was also a big electronic sign at the port's exit that displayed the recent Triceratops Flying Car Race and replays of classic clips. It attracted a lot of people to stop and stare.
After they had prepared their food and some equipment, Silin, Tang Qiuqiu, and Huimao boarded a passenger car headed to a city that was closer to them.
Planet Acerera did not have a large population. Compared to other planets of the same size, the population was pitifully small. Many of the people who came to compete were from other planets, and the people who ruled the planet were also transferred over from other planets. Therefore, Acerella's native population was basically on the low side.
The main reason for Acerella's low population was its geography. Of course, it was also famous for its geography. The planet's unique geography made the Triceratops Flying Car Race famous. More and more flying car enthusiasts came here to participate in the race.
Due to the large number of foreigners every year, people from Sector F and the few Sectors around Sector F would come here out of admiration. Therefore, people spoke the common language of the League of Stars on Acerella. However, many of them spoke with their own Sector's accent. As for the Acerella natives, they also spoke the common language of the League of Stars. Although it wasn't standard, it was still understandable.
The windows of the passenger car were closed because the wind was strong.
People said that people who came to Acerella for the first time should not miss the wind of Wind City other than watching the Triceratops Flying Car Race.
Wind City wasn't a city, but a large area made up of more than ten cities. It covered millions of square kilometers and was called the Wind City Region, or Wind City for short. The cities in the Wind City Region often used 'Wind City' as the prefix of their city name. Therefore, it was common to hear people say 'Wind City XX' and so on. They were referring to a certain city in the Wind City Region.
Wind was a special characteristic of this place. It didn't have a fixed direction. It might blow from the front one moment, and from the back the next.
Acerella's flying cars would go through special modifications so that they could find a sense of balance amidst the irregular airflow.
The uninhabited areas of Wind City had a special landform similar to dry areas. Wind erosion played a role, and due to the constant erosion of the strong winds, the eroded valleys and depressions gradually separated into island shaped platforms and hills. Then, they evolved into stone pillars or stone blocks. From afar, it looked like they had arrived at a decadent ancient city. The criss-crossing eroded valleys, stone pillars and stone blocks looked like a group of buildings built along the streets. Every time a gale came, yellow sand would cover the sky, and the wind would surge and swirl inside these 'groups of buildings', howling shrilly like the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves. It was a hair-raising sight. Therefore, there were people who described this area as' Devil City '.
Due to millions of years of wind and sun, the flat sandstone layer in this area had formed various landforms such as eroded walls, eroded mushrooms, eroded pillars, eroded furrows, eroded depressions, ruined hills, castles and so on. The scenery was spectacular and amazing.
There were also some oddly shaped mounds and mounds of different sizes. The mounds were dry and hard, row upon row. Whenever the shadow of a cloud floated past, or the wind stirred up the light sand, the mounds and mounds seemed to drift slowly, like a ship setting sail and a big fish swimming around. It was confusing and gave people endless imagination.
If the rock layer was nearly horizontal and hard and soft rock layers alternated, the soft rock layer would be easily eroded, and the hard rock layer would be relatively prominent, just like the eaves. Here, it could be seen everywhere.
"Wow, Brother Silin, look, it looks like a snake is crawling!" Tang Qiuqiu, who was leaning against the window and looking outside, exclaimed excitedly.
Silin looked in the direction that Tang Qiuqiu was pointing at. The sand had been 'scraped' by the wind, leaving a long, twisted mark on the sand. One end was slowly being covered by the sand, and the other end was facing the wind and continuing to cut through the sand layer in front of it. At first glance, it looked like a big snake crawling on the sand.
Huimao squatted on Silin's shoulder, staring at the scene on the sand outside the window with his eyes wide open. His claws moved unconsciously, looking like he really wanted to go down and have fun.
"Hey, there's a stone ball there! It's so big! "Tang Qiuqiu said, the camera in her hand never rested." Who carved that? "
"No, it's naturally formed." Silin explained, "When a rock is exposed to the surface, it will be weathered. Because of its protruding edges, it is more susceptible to weathering. Its corners will be weathered in three directions, its edges will be weathered in two directions, and its surface will only be weathered in one direction. So, over time, under the effect of weathering, the edges of the big rock will gradually shrink, and eventually tend to become spherical, just like that big stone ball. "
"Oh, I see." Tang Qiuqiu noted down Silin's explanation in her mind. This was also a form of knowledge.
"Up ahead is one of the competition routes." Someone shouted.
Everyone looked over and saw that there were two towering rock mountains. Between the two mountains was a narrow passageway that looked like a pipe. That passageway was one of the competition routes during the competition period. When air flowed in, the narrow passageway would accelerate the airflow, so it often formed a strong wind. In addition, the wind in Windy City was irregular, and the narrow passageway was crooked, so if one was not careful, they would crash into the rock mountains. It could be said to be extremely thrilling.
Although this narrow passageway was very thrilling, it was only a small part of the Tri-amphibian Flying Car Competition's route.
According to the information, the Tri-amphibian Flying Car Competition's route was almost all around the world, and this route involved dangerous areas on the planet.
One of the most commonly used routes was the "Windy City – Qilian Lake – Stone Forest" route.
Although the wind in Windy City was strong, if one was forced to fall, they could temporarily drive on the sand. However, they had to avoid the instantaneous gales, because those instantaneous gales would blow the car away. Experienced drivers would use the subtle changes in the sand to determine where the instantaneous gales existed and when they formed the strongest gales, so they could avoid them.
The second major route was Qilian Lake.
Qilian Lake was an underwater route formed by seven large lakes that were connected by a passageway underwater. The lake was very deep, and there was basically no light passing through the passageway. It was very dark, and there were some aquatic animals and plants that could cause interference. If there was a problem with the power system, the car would sink to the bottom of the lake and sink into the mud. Coupled with the entanglement of aquatic plants, one could only use up the oxygen reserves before the rescue team arrived. If the oxygen reserves were insufficient or the oxygen supply system was abnormal, one would not be far from death.
There were some other obstacles in the lake, but the public information in Silin's hands did not mention them, so it was obvious that it would be even more difficult. This was just the environmental factor. If the drivers tripped up each other, then there was no need to mention it.
The third major route was the Stone Forest.
The Stone Forest was a place where peaks stood tall and straight. The peaks were conical, tower-shaped, cylindrical, and other sharp peaks, with stone buds and karst ditches growing on the surface. The Stone Forest was very hard. In the Stone Forest area, once a car fell, it would basically not be able to fly again. Or the car would be destroyed, and the better ones would be stuck in the Stone Forest. Even if they could fly, the car would be damaged, which would have a huge impact on the later part of the race.
Such a route was a test of the driver. Not only the driver's skills, but also their psychological and adaptability. Of course, experience was also essential.
It was precisely because of the dangerous terrain, the high fatality rate, and the high rate of car damage that the racing enthusiasts were even more excited.
However, Silin also wondered what the chances of a person who could drive a flying car so well in such a race would be like in a battle?
There was no time to continue thinking about it. He had arrived at his destination. Silin was ready to get off at the Wind City Winto stop.
Although the native population of Acerella was small, there were many foreigners, and all the hotels were full all year round. In Acerella, if you saw a towering and gorgeous building in the city, it was definitely a hotel. The cost of those hotels was frighteningly expensive, but they were always full, and you might not be able to book one even if you booked three months in advance.
Therefore, for Silin, who had temporarily decided to come to Wind City, there was no doubt that Wind City Winto, which had the most backward living conditions, had more accommodation opportunities. They were not afraid of a little hardship, but the important thing was to have a place to live. It must be said that in a place like Wind City, sleeping in the wild was purely asking for trouble. Not to mention the low temperature at night, there were also strong winds and dust. If you were to stay in a tent, you might be swept away along with the tent.
In Acerella's Wind City, many local residents lived in stone houses made of sand or rock. Compared to the towering and gorgeous buildings in the central area, these residential houses looked ancient and vicissitudes, and Wind City Winto undoubtedly played out this vicissitude even more strongly.
The high-class hotels and the surrounding areas in the central area of Wind City Winto were all full. Because of the limited number of hotel rooms, some private houses would also vacate their rooms for rent. In fact, many local residents relied on rent to survive. If one day the Tri-amphibian Flying Car Competition was not held, and there were no more foreigners to stay, it was estimated that they would not be able to make a living.
However, along the way, there were no more private houses!
Huimao was lying on Silin's shoulder, looking powerless.
What the f * ck! This shabby place was so expensive, and the most infuriating thing was that it was so expensive, and yet it was full! Was this a scam?!
The sky gradually darkened, and just as Silin and Tang Qiuqiqiu were looking for accommodation along the street, a rattling sound was heard from behind them, slowly approaching and stopping next to them.
It was a flying car. The car was very old and belonged to the kind of old, broken car that made no sound except for the horn.
Huimao raised its eyes to glance at the broken thing, and lowered its eyelids again. There was really nothing to look at, and looking at it one more time would only make it have the urge to let this broken car die of old age.
"Are you looking for accommodation?" The hood of the old, broken car opened, revealing a young face covered in dust.
