When the lid was removed, a golden cake appeared in front of everyone's eyes. There was also a little bean who was still trying to eat even though his stomach was full.
… Be honest, what's your relationship with Jerry? Where's Tom?!
Because the surrounding space suddenly became bright, the little thing who was in the middle of eating raised its head and looked around blankly. Then, it saw us in the crowd. Just as I was about to say something, Dingdang took the initiative to speak. Holding a small lump of cake, the little thing bounced in front of me, "Ah Jun … Do you want to eat? It's delicious … "
I patted the shoulder of the sobbing Ilson. "Don't be sad. This only proves that Jingle is still very energetic today."
"The cake has become like this," Silvia finally reacted.
At this time, Sylvia finally reacted. She looked at the Ding Dang on the plate and the cake that had already been eaten by Xiao Budian. "There's no way to let everyone eat."
I grabbed Jingle, who was hopping around with a small piece of cake in her hand, ready to lecture her. I pushed the plate of cake to Sandora. "It's okay. There's someone here who isn't picky."
"Ah Jun, Ah Jun, don't use too much force!" A soft voice came from my hand. "You ate too much! If you use too much force, it will come out! "
I took out a big cup from my dimensional pocket and threw Jingle into it. "Wash off the cream on your body first!"
"Father above!" Ilson looked at me with admiration. "Is this how you usually bathe Captain?"
I nodded. "Sometimes, I add some detergent."
Protoss had the ability to clean themselves anyway. Ugh, if that's the case, I didn't have to throw Jingle into the cup, right?
Looking at the bubbling little bean in the cup, I suddenly felt that sometimes ignorance was bliss.
This was the first time she had gathered together with us like this. From start to finish, Fina had maintained that same wooden expression that had never changed in ten thousand years. She was still able to remain so calm in such an unscrupulous environment. I should really be impressed by Fina's mental fortitude. Even Gaia, who was beside her, had already been loading up a few times.
"Speaking of which, Gaia, how's the reconstruction of Keplu going?"
I suddenly recalled the reconstruction of Keplu that Gaia had been personally supervising. Back then, the space in that area had experienced the thermal activation of the arbitration authority. All matter, energy, space, and history had been completely erased. Gaia had to rely on the 'world snapshot recovery point' that he had previously recorded to restore those galaxies. It was a huge project. Even though the three arbitration authorities had activated the world's self-repair mechanism, it was still not completed to this day.
"The celestial system in the Sector has been rebuilt." Gaia found that there was finally someone discussing business, and his face almost showed a moved expression. "Using the last full-information snapshot before the thermal activation and the repair order left by the Arbitration Authority, the original celestial bodies in the Keplu Sector have reappeared, but the traces of civilization attached to those celestial bodies will probably take a longer time to rebuild. Because of the fragility and precision of life, any deviation in the restoration process will cause these things to be unusable."
I understood that. Many people didn't care about the melting of the Antarctic ice sheet. But who would want the toilet of a new house to be two square meters smaller? He dared to go to the Urban Construction Bureau with you … Speaking of which, I didn't stray from the topic, right?
"Due to the complexity of the later project, the government of the New Eden Federation has contacted me and expressed their new demands," Gaia added. "They hope that we will only restore the traces of civilization on a few major planets with historical and civilization value, such as Tanzania, Aiur, and Char. The other planets only need to restore the basic ecological environment. They can go back and rebuild their homes themselves. Although it will take a longer time, it will free up a lot of the Empire's production capacity. Also, the human leader James Renault believes that the Keplu people, who have lost their homeland more than once, should accept the fact that their homeland must be rebuilt. If everything has to wait for the Empire to provide a hotbed, the brave Keplu people will gradually lose their initiative. "
"If I'm not wrong, Renault should have only told you these two days, right?"
Sandora asked with a look of understanding.
Gaia looked a little surprised, but he still nodded affirmatively.
"It's because of the recent communication." Sandora smiled and turned to look at Fina. "Who said that you have nothing other than weapons and equipment?"
With Sandora's reminder, I immediately understood.
It was because the emergence of the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community had given the New Eden Federation a sense of urgency.
A mixed civilization that had survived in an environment of high pressure and panic for countless years had shown tenacity and bravery that a civilization that grew up in a greenhouse could not compare. Although the two major races of the New Eden Federation had also experienced the flames of war and rebuilt their homes, it was nothing compared to the experience of the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community that had been shrouded in death for thousands of years, where there were races going extinct at every moment. The former saw the fighting spirit and suffering from the latter that they could not compare to. This was also a kind of warning:
Don't indulge in the dangerous idea of 'we have the protection of the Empire anyway, and if our home is destroyed, the Empire will help us rebuild it sooner or later'. The multiverse was full of dangers, and any civilization would inevitably encounter endless difficulties and challenges in its progress. This was the spiritual guidance that the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community had brought to other brotherly worlds after becoming the fiercest servant army of the Empire during the trials.
"Ring ring ring …"
The crisp sound of a wind chime interrupted our conversation. Then, the prophet's voice, which I hadn't seen for two days, came from the door, "Ha, you are all here?"
"Do you need to speak in such a surprised tone?"
I glanced at Lin Xue, then turned to look at Sandora. Hurry up and eat. She is definitely here to freeload!
Who was Sandora? Protecting her food like her life wasn't a joke. Just as my gaze drifted over, the gluttonous girl had already started to lick the plate.
I shrugged my shoulders at the confused Lin Xue, "You are late. We have already finished eating."
"Hey! Did I just come here to freeload?! " The missy placed her hands on her hips, "Also, I have been on a diet recently. Desserts and whatnot … I don't feel regretful at all!"
Can you be any more arrogant?
"Your brother went back?"
I looked behind Lin Xue. I didn't see Lin Feng following in, so I asked curiously.
Due to the two 'family members' following, Lin Xue didn't go crazy with me for the past two days. Instead, she became her own tour guide seriously, bringing Lin Feng and Ding Ling around the City of Shadows every day. En, actually, it was all about showing off. For example, she dragged her best friend, who she had played with and fought with since young, and pointed at a bunch of black figures patrolling in the sky, "Do you see the 500-meter cruiser? Mine! Do you see the 1-kilometer battlecruiser? Mine! Do you see the 10-kilometer battleship? Mine! Do you see the dozens of kilometers mothership? Mine! Do you see the hundreds of thousands of kilometers planetary battleship? Oh, I can't see that …
Something like that.
"I came to find you for this."
Lin Xue sat beside me casually. She pushed Little Bubble, who was licking the cream on her hand, away and hugged her. She rubbed against me, causing the little chick to giggle.
"Come in, they don't eat people!"
I turned to the door in confusion. A tall and beautiful girl with brown curly hair pushed the door open and walked in. Beside her was Lin Feng and Ding Ling.
En, it could be Ding Ling and Lin Feng …
Lin Feng was wearing a shiny silver light cavalry armor. He carried a handmade longbow on his back, a Zanpakuto on his left waist, and a Gauss pistol on his right waist. Energy belts and a large iron chain hung in front of his chest. On his head was a knight helmet from God knows which world it came from, and on his feet was a pair of field boots. Standing there, he looked like an English longbowman who signed a contract with Withered Rukia and became the Grim Reaper. He had transmigrated to Galaxy 2513 and wandered around for half a year.
Ding Ling wore a gorgeous yet sexy mage robe in the style of the Blood Elves. On her back was a harp that she definitely didn't know how to play. She wore a triple crown on her head and rocket boots on her feet. There were at least 10 kilograms of colorful gems hanging around her neck. She held the Heart of the Rising Sun in her left hand and held the Jedi Light Sword in her right. She was playing with it like a flashlight.
I didn't look at their faces when they walked in, so I thought they were monsters.
When I first saw the brown-haired girl, I didn't recognize her. But when Lin Feng appeared, I suddenly remembered. Isn't this Lin Feng's little girlfriend?
"Sister-in-law." Lin Feng saw Shallow Shallow who was sitting at the outermost corner. He immediately bowed politely to greet her. His Jingle Iron Leaves rattled all over his body. Then, he realized that there was a large group of people sitting in the room. He was momentarily stunned. After thinking for a long time, this fellow who had grown up with Lin Xue reacted just like his sister. He walked along the axis of the door and bowed to the entire room. "Second Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law …"
* Bang! *
There was a loud sound. Lin Xue ended her brother's crazy action with a single punch (hitting his helmet). The veins on Lin Feng's eyebrows bulged. Lin Feng swayed a few times before he recovered from the unprecedented blow. He looked at me and said, "Ah, and brother-in-law …"
My vision blurred. If you really can't figure it out, you can go home and draw up a formula. Isn't it better to figure it out yourself?
* Bang! *
Lin Xue hit his head again. This time, it was even harder than before. I could even hear the echo of his helmet.
I glanced at Shadora and Qian Qian. Shadora was chewing on her plate, while Qian Qian was chewing on my arm. Alright, alright, at least I should be glad that they were only a little jealous and hadn't come at me to beat me up …
"Did your brother suffer from some trauma today?" I awkwardly pulled Shallow Shallow off my arm and winked at Lin Xue. This brat isn't in a good state. We'll find a chance to throw him out.
"This idiot brother and this idiot girl, they've been walking around like country bumpkins for two days!" Lin Xue unceremoniously scolded her brother and best friend. She didn't need to say anything. Just by looking at the things they were wearing, I could imagine how much they had done in the past two days. They were at least responsible for 1% of the Shadow City's GDP this year.
"Who wouldn't take advantage of such a great deal …" Ding Ling's face was red as she pressed down on the light sword, "Gems! A huge diamond that's half a kilogram! They're actually selling it by the kilogram! And this! Light sword, it's a real light sword! It's only 998, it's really only 998! Look at this, it's a real female mage robe that I bought from the Blood Elf. It actually has a discount on it! Even if your family is rich, you can't buy these things in the outside world! I even met two people who sell jadeite … "
"Don't be fooled, the people who buy jadeite in the Shadow City are all soldiers of the Empire." I quickly reminded her, "They all bought it from the third plastic factory!"
"… Then look at these gems of mine …"
"The fifth glass factory."
"This light sword …"
"Yueming home appliances."
"This staff …"
"A Bubble cosplay club. Also, I can add that at least half of the equipment Lin Feng is wearing is made by an aluminum company …"
Ding Ling was about to cry, "What about this mage robe?"
"The mage robe is real." My eyes wandered and just when Ding Ling was about to heave a sigh of relief, I gave her a counterattack, "But didn't you notice that the neckline is already open?"
"…" Ding Ling wanted to cry but had no tears, "You're lying to me, right? You must be lying to me, right? These are all real … "
"The people of the Empire have a long history of counterfeiting. Back then, the introduction letter that Pandora used to go to school was printed by that girl herself. You can't even distinguish the goods that they bought from the outside after some processing. Do you believe that if you give them a piece of cucumber, they would dare to make a Heart of the Ocean?"
Ding Ling and Lin Feng cried internally.
I said earnestly, "Also, when you were buying these things, did you meet an uncle in a black suit who sold you CDs?"
"Uh, there was such a strange uncle, but the moment he appeared, he was chased away by a girl dressed as a witch." Ding Ling nodded her head in confusion.
"Ling Meng's working attitude is very positive. Let me remind you, that guy is called Sicarro. Wherever he appears, there is definitely not a single item within a radius of two hundred meters that is real. The number one counterfeiter in the multiverse and the pirate peddler is not a joke. How many times has the God of Town Security fought with him, but they still can't decide the winner."
Even Ding Ling and Lin Feng were on their knees.
"Alright, it's good to let these two unlucky kids learn a lesson so that they know how deep the water in the City of Shadows is." Lin Xue had an expression as if she was watching a good show. She didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy for her best friend and younger brother who had suffered such a huge blow. "Now, let's talk about serious matters. Sally, come over. It's fine."
Lin Feng's girlfriend, Sally, was a gentle and ordinary mixed-blood girl. From the moment she entered the room, she had been trembling in fear, as if she was a weak lamb that had been sent to a place surrounded by a pack of wolves. It was just that my attention had been completely attracted by Lin Feng and Ding Ling at the start. Now that Lin Xue reminded me, I focused my attention on this girl.
"She … Who scared her this time?"
Sandora furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the ordinary girl who had her head lowered in silence. The other party's current behavior reminded me of our first meeting. The first time Sally met Pandora, she was so scared that she almost fainted. After that, we met a few times. Even though she was able to control her fear, she was still extremely fearful of Pandora. This abnormal behavior had always made Lin Feng feel awkward. Thus, he rarely brought his girlfriend to appear before us.
Of course, even with such a reason, we didn't hate Sally. Even though we couldn't say that we were very familiar with her, through Lin Xue and Lin Feng's description, we could at least confirm that she was a girl with a good character. It was just that … she was a little strange.
"My younger brother brought her here this morning. At first, everything was normal. Other than feeling a little dizzy, Sally was having fun until she saw this thing."
As Lin Xue spoke, she drew a square in the air with her hand. The omnipresent public information system in the City of Shadows immediately displayed images according to her mental instructions.
Battleships that covered the sky, ground troops that resembled a flood of steel, light beams that streaked across the sky and projected the emblem of the Imperial Army in the background, as well as an impassioned mobilization speech. With just one look, I knew that this was the scammer recruitment advertisement that Pandora had supervised the production of. This was something that my two precious sisters had to show several times in public regardless of the situation. I had used a bunch of lollipops to get Pandora to reluctantly agree to only show this thing once in the morning and once in the morning.
The moment these images started to play, Sally's face paled. However, perhaps it was because she had already experienced it once, she didn't scream in fear. Instead, she hurriedly closed her eyes and pounced into Lin Feng's embrace.
"What we can confirm is that she has a phobia towards certain things in the Xiling Empire." Lin Xue turned off the projection. "The targets of her phobia are the Imperial Army's warships, the army formations, the emblem of the Imperial Army, Pandora, un, and perhaps Visca who looks exactly the same. Another thing to point out is that when these things appear in a civilian form, such as those soldiers of the Empire who walk the streets selling souvenirs, Sally wouldn't feel any fear. However, when they show their battle forms, as you can see, she is terrified. "
I didn't know if I should ridicule her. Could it be that Pandora and Visca aren't in a state of war?
"What did you see?"
I looked at Lin Xue curiously. I knew her personality very well. When she revealed such a sly smile, it definitely meant that she had discovered something important.
"Just a little," Lin Xue said as she poked Little Bubble's face, who was squirming in her embrace. "Because Sally couldn't tell what she was afraid of, I used my power to search for the source of her fear. It wasn't easy as it was completely different from a conventional prophecy. However, I still managed to see something … Her fear didn't belong to herself, but to an even more distant memory, a memory that was at least a few hundred thousand years old. This isn't easy to explain, but it's enough for you to know what's going on."
"A memory from a few hundred thousand years ago?" Big sister and I repeated at the same time as we looked at each other in confusion.
"The time when the Atlantis civilization was destroyed."
