Bengbeng said: "Could it be that your life..."
Opal said very cooperatively: "Yes, there is no other pursuit than money."
"As things stand, that's really the most important point," Raymond said.
Bengbeng could only nod his head, took out a form from the drawer, and said, "Ah, boys, this is a hidden commission."
Opal: "… "
Raymond: "… "
Raymond said in disbelief: "And this thing?!"
Bengbeng said mysteriously: "Of course, this sounds like a bounty mission in a game like Star Hunter developed by VCO Entertainment, but I have to say that this situation is also true in our large aerospace society. … I mean, there is no such thing as 'hidden' or 'hidden' in this kind of commission, but it is up to you to collect information and discover those who have commission intentions, but because of various factors, do not come to the king The people at the pier."
"Does anyone need help from an adventurer? There must be, for example, I'm just giving an example, when I heard a news-Duke Kerima recently had an idea that he had withdrawn a sum of money from the mining planet. Now, it is idle, and I don't know how to spend it. At the same time, this money is his private money, so when you bring information about an asteroid in the Taurus polonium nitrate star cluster to find him, he is likely to pay for it. Buy it. Bring the information and report book to him, let him read it first, and then ask him to send someone to entrust it, and you can get rich rewards."
Raymond said, "What if he doesn't want it?"
Opal: "Well that sounds good, I'm sure he will."
Raymond said: "I know you want to force it again, but this sounds a bit unethical. Is there another plan?"
"This is just an example." Beng Beng said: "Aha, now we have a piece of information, but to get this information, you have to pay a little bit, because the adventurer who provided the information also needs to support his family..."
Opal and Raymond looked blankly at Beng Beng.
Bengbeng said: "This is obviously a good deal, because as long as it takes you a short period of time, it is enough to make you directly into the ranks of the probationary adventurer, and only requires 20,000 credit points."
"Twenty thousand credit points?" Raymond said, "What can I do with this money?!"
Opal said: "Did you see zero wrong!"
Beng Beng said: "Nothing at all... I read it right. The rewards you are about to get are huge, do you want to continue?"
Opal said: "Impossible, not so much money."
Raymond said: "Wait, listen to the reward first."
Beng Beng said: "Remuneration, it depends on how lucky you are and whether you understand how to negotiate with your employer. This information is related to the people in the capital, and it directly involves things that imperial intelligence officers cannot intervene, because intelligence agencies are under orders from The emperor, and the emperor's attitude towards certain things directly caused the intelligence agencies to not be able to make too much action in some places."
Opal: "???"
Raymond narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Can I take credit?"
Bengbeng said: "No, this is the rule, if you don't want it, how about changing it? Go to Nuluo Star and make a local social report after Nuluo's mother withered, uh, I mean it is withering... So it will be Affect the milk of the mother of the female Luo, etc., as well as the environmental changes of the female Luo star. This report will remain in the Big Astronautical Association, waiting for someone to buy it, you need to stay on the female Luo star for at least eight Months, use the entry and exit reports of the planet to prove that you are actually working, and that's it."
Half an hour later, Raymond and Opal went to the reporting window to check their identities. Opal received a reserve adventurer's manual with a spear emblem printed in the lower left corner. This is the emblem of Horius and the star emblem of King's Wharf.
"How much money do we have left?" Opal asked after leaving the window.
Raymond said, "Thirty-seven credits."
Opal: "… "
"I can't even eat dinner." Opal said gloomily.
Raymond said: "The food maker can solve all big problems... well, I mean most of them."
Opal: "Where's my fantasy movement?"
Raymond: "Everything will be there."
They sat on the sofa, head to head, and began to study the first commission Opal received - the Shepherd's Day celebration on the Star of the White Falcon.
Delegate Rating: Special Intelligence.
The content of the commission that may be obtained: This information comes from the wife of a high-ranking official in the capital. According to the speculation of several ministers, the emperor will take some actions in the near future.
Commission reminder: The Star of the White Falcon will hold the annual Shepherd's Festival celebration, and at the same time will hold the Imperial Atomic Pool Contest. There are many celebrities and socialites, as well as ambassadors from the Republic and many guests. It is recommended to collect complete information first.
Commissioned Rating: None
Employer: none
Remuneration: unknown.
"This kind of commission is really weird," Opal said.
Raymond shrugged and said, "Everything has to be judged according to the actual situation. I think it is even more strange that this Green Mercury man actually has the authority to issue commissions."
Opal said: "He just provided a special piece of information, look here." He pointed to the lower right corner of the page and said, "It also has the stamp of the association on it... I'll take a look at yours, what is the commission you received? ?"
Raymond said: "On the Star of the White Falcon, I specially selected this task to participate in the Shepherd's Day celebration, and accompanied several officials' families at the celebration, telling some interstellar knowledge and jokes, and accompany them to pass the time before the banquet started. ."
Opal said: "This mission sounds a bit stupid..."
Raymond glanced at him and said, "I'm sure I can tell stories."
Opal said sourly: "I wish you the best of luck from now on."
Raymond laughed, picked up Opal by the waist, left the Great Astronautical Association, and went back to Time VI.
Times VI turned around and left the apron to fly to the White Falcon Star. Opal turned on the food maker and prepared dinner. Xiao Q and E7 were playing chess.
"We still have thirty-seven credit points in total." Raymond tossed the deck of cards in his hands and said, "There are 117 energy units left in the fuel, which can only support the consumption of flying to the White Falcon Star."
Opal only felt that this life was too miserable, and said, "That is to say, if you fly over, you won't be able to come back?!"
Raymond said helplessly: "Yes, you can only buy fuel if you get the money. My commission fee is 2400 credit points, but you don't know about your commission."
Opal said: "Do some research and see how to cheat money."
Raymond opened the two adventurer manuals and spread them on the table for comparison. He rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers and said, "First of all, the emperor will take some actions soon... What does this mean?"
Opal said: "I heard from him two days before I left... I heard that person said that there was a little problem of principle between the Pope and Karthus."
Raymond narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, Marshal Rotman, as the actual master of the Empire's military power, might also be involved in this dispute, so we need to find out what this little question of principle is. problem, and then choose a team."
Opal recalled the fact that Pope Drummond invited him to study abroad four years ago, and said: "At least the Pope and the Emperor have differences and are divided into two factions."
Raymond said: "Then which faction Rodman belongs to, it must determine the development of the whole situation... I think I should understand the meaning of this information... It is indeed worth 20,000 yuan, and it is probably some beautiful adventurer. The news from which official's wife's bed cover shall we take?"
Opal said: "It doesn't matter who you stand on. The question is how to get in. We don't even have a dress. Wearing such two sets, we will..."
Raymond was in a daze, Opal patted his face and said, "Hey! What are you thinking? I'm in a bad mood."
Raymond turned his head, leaned in and kissed Opal's lips.
The two looked into each other's eyes when the lips were divided, and Raymond said, "I was thinking that there might be a VIP room for guests to stay at the banquet, and there would also be fantasy music... just like going to Eternal Day..."
Opal said: "I don't think it's very likely, after all, I didn't have a lady this time."
Raymond said: "Then we have to come now."
Opal: "… "
The two were silent for a moment, and Opal said, "Forget it."
Raymond smiled and put Opal in his arms. Opal was a little depressed. For three consecutive years, he found that he didn't seem to grow as expected. Is it high because you often went to mines when you were a child
Most of the time, he and Raymond can only get along as usual. First, he is too young, and he feels that he can't get in when facing Raymond's stuff. Second, he always feels that during the two years of separation, he and Raymond have been separated. Meng is a lot more unfamiliar.
Just like couples who have been separated for a long time, they can't always find their original feelings for a while.
And the strangest thing is that he did not have nocturnal emission until he was fifteen years old. In the last life of B11, he had a dream one night at the age of fourteen, and then he became an adult. However, this time, when he re-experienced All this was filled with tension and worry.
In the first year they were with Raymond, they tried kissing, hugging, and stripping to sleep together, Raymond's stuff was up, and he was always lusting after him, but the opal didn't get as often as before. , and did not want to have sex urgently, he just simply wanted to hug Raymond, for fear of losing him again, instead of engaging in any intense and lingering behavior.
At that time, he tried to help Raymond solve the problem with his hands. After Raymond finished shooting, he held him in his arms. After a long time, I had to give up.
Sometimes Opal gives birth to an illusion, as if he and Raymond are not lovers, and they return to the situation when they were comrades in arms and partners, but they are vaguely different from before.
He tossed to and fro in the dark, and Raymond, knowing that he wasn't asleep, asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Opal didn't answer, and Raymond said, "Have you made love?"
Opal said, "Raymond, I don't think you love me anymore."
Raymond said, "Why do you say that? You've been too sentimental lately. You've got a very sensitive temper, and you can't make fun of the little things."
Opal said: "No way!"
Raymond said: "Look, you want to quarrel with me now."
There was an unbearable irritability in Opal's heart, and Raymond pressed his crotch to him and said, "This is the proof that I love you, I am full of sexual desire for you."
Opal burst out laughing, and Raymond said: "I want you to have sex and not do it, because you are afraid of pain? You don't want to solve it with your hands..."
Opal sometimes does not know why he is so depressed, he sighed.
Raymond said, "I love you, wife."
Opal said, "I know."
Raymond touched Opal's forehead and asked, "Is it because of your physical condition that you feel uncomfortable?"
Opal finally understood.
He is sensitive, irritable, and insecure. The reason is the growth hormone in his body. Opal's voice has a taste of juvenile voice change.
Raymond said, "Adolescence?"
Opal didn't think that he would experience the pain of an adult again after the reversal of growth. He sighed and said, "I think about it and sit for a while."
Both Xiao Q and E7 turned off the lights and waited on the console. As soon as Opal went to sit on the swivel chair, the two little robots immediately turned on the lights at the same time. With a thud, the two little robots seemed proud that Raymond and Opal couldn't understand their language.
Opal sat in front of the cockpit and looked at the starry sky outside the window. It took ten hours to arrive at the White Falcon galaxy. The disc-shaped nebula in the distance exuded a beautiful silver light.
Raymond came over and said, "Get up."
Opal got up, Raymond lay on the swivel chair, motioned for Opal to lie on top of him, Opal reached out and took the blanket over the two of them, snuggling up to look at the galaxy outside the porthole.
"My faith is like dead in the two years I left you." Opal said, "I can't go back to the way I used to..."
Raymond said: "Everyone can't go back to the past, we are in the river of time, haven't you heard what Mrs. Antar said? She also often reminisces about her girlhood and feels that the past can't come back..."
"Yes," Opal said.
Raymond added: "Now, it is the only form we have."
Opal thought for a while, then said, "I think Ledgerson has added another person's past to my memory to influence my thoughts?"
Raymond frowned and said, "Is there such a thing?"
Opal said: "Yes, that desert ranger. Later, my internal and external memory barrier was removed, but I still remember this past that did not belong to me. I feel that I am not pure."
Raymond was at a loss, and Opal said, "If I had someone else's memory, would you still think I was me?"
Raymond said, "Of course, what's the difference?"
Opal knew that no matter what he became, Raymond would never feel that he didn't love him.
"I still remember the time when I was almost eaten by the acid beast..." Raymond was very funny: "You didn't dislike what I became..."
"But that's not the same," Opal interrupted, saying, "Body and soul are different."
Raymond said: "It's almost the same for me. Anyway, when you stand in front of me, I will know that you are you."
Opal nodded.
Raymond added: "Cololin gave me a lot of knowledge, but he didn't mix his emotional factors in it. It's strange, how did he do it? It's like... "
When Opal looked at him sideways, Raymond made a search gesture, which was exactly the same as when Coroline gave him a lecture, Opal said: "I know, Mr. Rector used a chip when he taught me knowledge. , directly instilled a lot of things into me, and I forgot all about it as soon as it was over, but when it came time to use it, I could clearly remember it..."
Raymond said: "Yes, that's how it feels."
Raymond hugged Opal, turned off the light, and the two were leaning against each other in the dark, but Opal thought of something else—what if Raymond had all the memories of Coroline? Who is who
In the long night, Raymond whispered: "Opal, how about we play a game?"
Opal was a little sleepy and said, "What?"
Raymond said: "Let's start over, this time, it's my turn to actively pursue you, just as you pursue me..."
Opal said vaguely: "Okay, but I really don't expect much of your pursuit..."
Gradually, Opal fell asleep in the dark. When he was woken up by the sound the next day, he had arrived at the outer space station of the White Falcon Star. This is the family territory of Rotman. The entire galaxy space station is lined up, supporting each other and independent of each other. , distant stars exude a myriad of magnetic winds, forming beautiful auroras outside the polar atmospheres of hundreds of planets.
"I received an invitation from Mr. Erling to come." Raymond said into the communicator, "Now send my ID and Adventurer's Handbook number."
"God." Opal stared at the planetary system in front of him, and was simply dumbfounded.
This is the galaxy with the best conditions he has ever seen. Hundreds of habitable planets can be distributed in the same star system!
Opal said: "These planets are all Rotman family?"
"Yes." Raymond put his hands on the bridge and looked out, and said, "There are more than 200 planets in another galaxy, all of which are rich in products and complete in business, mining and people's livelihood industries. He is very rich, It is equivalent to the most powerful lord in the empire, and you see, the Lion Galaxy Empire occupies the right time and place, and the resources of the Republic cannot be compared with them at all."
Opal looked at the star of the White Falcon in the distance, and there was a strong sense of deja vu in his heart, as if something familiar was calling him.
