The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

As we all know, the Eleventh Sector does not obey the official discipline of the Empire, and even the Eleventh Military Region here is living a tight life. The military expenditure is often not enough, so they can only find ways to make some extra money - for example, they are facing the passing of the Eleventh Sector. The spaceships and starships have launched a "single escort" service.

The individual escort service, as the name suggests, is to send professional individual soldiers who have received military training to provide protection services for civilian caravans that lack sufficient force. It charges a high fee and is also one of the main sources of income for the 11th Military Region.

And now, His Royal Highness, because of his outstanding performance at the Dolan Supply Depot, has successfully won the favor of his superiors and been appointed to come back to perform such an escort mission. And because he is now in a state of voluntary labor, there is no commission for the individual soldiers that should have been allocated to him. He only has a set of A-level standard mechas promised to be allocated as a consolation prize - it is still temporary, and it will take more than 100 yuan to complete this single mission. Taken back.

Jicheng: "..."

Speechless, but still smiling.

"Royal tour group" does not really mean the royal family. It is just like the "supreme", "super", "gold" and "diamond" that ordinary businesses add in their promotions. It is purely a gimmick. However, these tourists set off to the Eleventh Star District in a group from the Imperial Capital Star, and their financial resources are definitely not weak. It is also because of this that the merchants who organized this tour paid for individual mecha soldiers from the Eleventh Military Region to go out. Protect and protect.

Although this business has also implemented a stingy face from beginning to end: the tour group's promotion stated that it would hire professional and senior mecha soldiers to escort it, in fact -

Professional, graduated from the mecha department of the Imperial Military Academy, couldn't be more professional.

Senior, you dare to say that the army is not senior?

An individual mecha soldier, ah, an individual mecha soldier is also an individual mecha soldier!

And Jicheng was the "professional and experienced" mecha soldier who was fortunate enough to be invited.

He even took a part-time job as a ground shuttle - the distance between the Imperial City and the Eleventh Star was far away. The tour group set out from the Imperial Star, first went to the space jump base on the Alata Star, and then directly jumped to the Eleventh Star on a special starship. Next to the district army headquarters, it is also the only space jump base in the eleventh star district.

Because the spaceship pilot was busy looking for a parking space, the local tour guide was afraid that he would not be conspicuous enough by himself, so he roped in Jicheng and pulled up the banner with him: Warmly welcome the Imperial Star Royal Tour Group to the Eleventh Sector! !

Jicheng: "...Okay, add more money."

Although Julien gave him a full scholarship and he did not have to worry about money in the past few years at the Imperial Military Academy, but after the two months of training in the 11th sector, he has deeply understood the importance of money - the poor even There are no useful mechas to choose from!

The stingy 11th Military Region took away his share in the name of voluntary labor. Can't he earn it back in some other way?

The tour guide thought that although Jicheng was beautiful and slender, but considering that the opponent was actually a mecha soldier from the army, and the cold glance in his eyes made people feel nervous, in the end he still didn't dare to play the old tricks. Guaiguai took out his pocket and paid him a service fee.

When the people in the tour group gathered one after another, Jicheng discovered that there was an unexpected guy inside: "...Jonah?"

Although the other party's eyes lit up the moment he saw Jicheng: "My best friend! You are actually here!"

Jicheng: "?"

"Why did you come to travel to the 11th Star District?" He glanced back at the huge banner and said in a strange tone, "Royal Tour Group?"

Jonah yelled: "Didn't I hear from the principal that you came to the 11th sector? I was thinking of booking a tour group and maybe we could meet each other - you see, isn't fate here?"

Ji Cheng looked at him with suspicion.

The army is not open to ordinary people. Which mecha soldier this tour group invites is simply a random event. If Jonah wants to use this kind of luck method to find him, it is better to buy two interstellar lottery tickets.

Jonah immediately looked at the sky and the earth: "Ahem, okay, I also want to come out and collect inspiration for materials and so on."

I forgot to mention that more than half a year ago, this guy was no longer satisfied with just reading novels, and began to write his own - in Jonah's own words, he called it "generating electricity for love" - ​​and then It’s not clear whether it’s because he is indeed well-read and has accumulated a lot of knowledge, or because there are really too few people producing food in the circle he is interested in. All in all, in just half a year, Jonah has actually made quite a name for himself in their circle. fame.

He said in a sonorous tone: "I have already thought of the subject of my new article, which is about the shocking love between star thieves and ordinary planet residents. I heard that star thieves are more rampant in the 11th sector, so I wanted to come here for an on-site investigation. It feels more realistic when I write it!”

"But I didn't expect to run into you this time," Jonah said with emotion, "My best friend! If this doesn't count as fate - ah, by the way, the protagonist of my new novel happens to be based on you, Iron-blooded and stubborn little white flower, I originally wanted to ask you a few questions, so I might as well choose a different day and just wait until I look through the memo...ah!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince easily held back Jonah's hand of friendship as he tried to pat his shoulder: "What did you just say?"

The smile on his face was extremely bright: "...the iron-blooded and stubborn little white flower?"

Jonah murmured: "I think it fits you very well... Oh no, what I actually meant is that setting the characters this way will create more conflict and excitement!!"

Jicheng: "Huh."

In a moment, all the guests had arrived. Considering that Jonah was the one spending the money this time, Jicheng still stopped and stayed at the end of the line to ensure that no one was left behind, while following the tour guide towards the direction of the spaceship.

Jonah followed him and asked: "By the way, dear friend, do you have any thoughts about your, no, protagonist O's CP?"

Jicheng: "No!!!"

In addition to being stingy about hiring individual mecha soldiers, the merchants have also put in some effort in other aspects - the spacecraft they arranged for the tour group is S-class, which is strong and well-defended enough to withstand most dangers. . And although there are many Star Thieves in the Eleventh Star District, they still prefer those large caravans to tour groups with fewer people and less money.

Although sometimes this sentence is said like a flag.

As a hired mecha soldier, Jicheng doesn't have to do anything on the spaceship every day. He can just eat, drink and have fun with the tour group - after all, he only needs to take action when he encounters danger, and everything else on the spaceship has its corresponding consequences. staff to do it. Moreover, he is good-looking and knows how to maintain the illusion of being polite in front of outsiders, so he quickly got along with the entire tour group.

On December 3, star date 99813, the guests of the tour group had just finished their tour on a specialty planet and took an interstellar sightseeing bus to the spacecraft parking place. This planet is a well-known attraction in the Eleventh Star District. The port where the spaceship is parked is very crowded. It took everyone a lot of effort to squeeze into their own spaceship. Soon the spacecraft took off and headed for its new destination.

They had been touring this planet for more than a week, and most of them were quite tired due to the long journey ahead. As soon as they returned to the spacecraft, they went to find their own rooms to rest and sleep.

After absorbing spiritual energy and training, Jicheng's physical fitness far exceeds the level of people in this small world. This level of exercise has little effect on him, so he doesn't feel tired. He was leaning on the sofa in the center hall of the spaceship, preparing to play two games to relax. When he looked up, he saw Jonah coming to him with a small notebook: "My dear friend! I just suddenly had a new inspiration, do you think... "

An alarm bell rang in Ji Cheng's heart: "I don't think-"

At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound in the distance.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9* Book Bar!

The sound was not loud, and it was extremely unclear when it fell into people's ears. However, Jicheng's sensitivity was enough for him to catch it clearly. Although Jonah next to him was not very attuned, he accepted the military academy. Top students with orthodox training also immediately noticed this unusual sound.

He stood up straight in an instant and turned around to try to find the source of the sound. Jicheng had already stood up and walked upstairs - the sound just came from this direction.

Jonah: "Wait!"

Jicheng turned around, his eyes puzzled.

I saw him carefully putting the notebook into his chest, placing it carefully and carefully, and then said with a serious expression: "Okay, let's go."

Jicheng: "..."

Not long after the spacecraft took off and entered the universe, most of the passengers were resting in their rooms, and the crew of the spacecraft were also checking various data at their posts. Ji Cheng and the others walked towards the source of the sound, paying attention all the way. It was very quiet until they walked through the corridor and came to the entertainment room on the upper floor. They found that the furnishings inside were skewed and the tour guide fell to the ground. There was a fresh wound on his forehead and blood was gushing out.

And this unlucky brother was still moaning: "There is a star thief..."

Star thief? !

Ji Cheng and Jonah looked at each other and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

As half an employee of the tour group, Jicheng had the authority to contact other staff of the spacecraft, so he immediately notified the spacecraft control room. After confirming that the control room had not been attacked, he asked them to activate the alert and check the interior of the spacecraft at the same time. monitor to see if they can find any traces of the "Star Thieves" intrusion mentioned by the tour guide.

Jonah took advantage of Jicheng's notification to the control room and went up to bandage the tour guide urgently to ensure that the other person's life was not in danger. Then he quickly surveyed the surrounding situation and found that the window of the spaceship not far from the entertainment room was actually there. Traces of someone sneaking in from the outside were found.

He carefully looked at the marks and the tour guide's wounds. Chao Jicheng came to the conclusion: "The attacker should have been lurking outside the window opposite the entertainment room before we took off, and then took advantage of the situation." He pried open the window at the moment the spacecraft started. The reason why the spacecraft alarm did not detect it may be because the other party had some means to block the warning system of the spacecraft. According to my previous research, this is indeed very similar to the style of the small star thieves in District 11. "

"But the good news is that there should be only one intruder, otherwise the tour guide would have been more than just beaten," Jonah rubbed his chin and said, "Based on the size of the window and other signs, it can be inferred that the intruder is 1.75 meters tall. He is about 1.78 meters tall, has a slender body shape, and has been trained in fighting..."

He spread his hands and concluded: "If such a dangerous factor is really allowed to run around in the cabin, we may be in trouble."

Of course Ji Cheng also knew this, especially when the spacecraft control room just replied to him that the monitoring in many places inside the spacecraft had inexplicably failed - which meant that the difficulty of finding the intruder had once again increased.

He was ready to search the spaceship with his mental power with a cold face: there was no way to train mental power in the 8137th small world, so only he had this cheating ability. The only risk was that once his mental power was released, people with S-level mental power on the spaceship might notice it, and even Ji Cheng couldn't say what kind of trouble it would bring.

At this time, a clear and powerful voice came from under the messy equipment in the entertainment room: "It's not 1.75 to 1.78 meters."

The man's tone sounded very firm: "It's 1.8 meters."
