The Star Knight

Opal said: "Listen, I know Azeroth, you dare to deduct our points..."

Clerk: "Who is afraid of you! You know Azeroth as an individual! He also wrote a love letter to my grandmother last time!!!"

Opal: "..."

Raymond: "..."

The two quarreled for a full ten minutes before finally applying for arbitration at the union office. This point was postponed and then received, and they both burst out of their stomachs. Opal went to overhaul the weapons and preparation. Raymond took the task in the union hall.

"Opal." Raymond's fingers clasped on his ear buckles: "We have to take on more points and make more money by the way."

Opal looks at a new sex toy box fantasy movement in the entertainment store, which includes the twin dolphins, a pair of blue jellyfish transparent sleeves and a connector.

The boss said: "Why, do you want to buy one? I really want it? I know you want it very much! You have seen it several times. This is a fantasy movement for two people! It’s for men! It’s good for you and yours. Buddies, the good friends have an orgasm together, and two only need 10,000 credit points..."

"Oh." Opal quickly put down the box and waved his hands so that the boss wouldn't say much, his mouth twitched, and he said carelessly: "Do you want to advance quickly?"

Raymond thought for a while and said, "It's not like that...Forget it, try to get rich. Do you want to take a vacation?"

Opal said: "I do whatever I want, in fact, it is quite like taking a vacation."

Raymond looked up at the bulletin board and said, "There is a 200,000 team entrusted to find people."

Opal said: "I know that task, Sid released, it is too difficult, our rating does not meet the requirements, don't take it."

Raymond said: "Well... the mission deadline is ten cosmic years, not cost-effective."

Raymond raised his head, and the light screens in the ring hall flew around. Every time a rectangular light screen flew out, a team received the task. Raymond asked: "Investigating dangerous creatures on an unmanned planet, 160 Fifteen thousand six hundred points, how about this?"

Opal: "Sounds okay, how many days are there?"

Raymond said: "Explore from the photon star towards Orion..."

Raymond’s slender index finger pressed against his ear buckle. The outsider looked like he was talking to himself. A person next to him said, "Hello, sir."

Raymond removed his index finger and nodded at him, looking at him with questioning eyes.

"I heard you talking about this commission." Sid said: "Are you willing to take it? I just saw you arguing with Opal..."

Raymond said: "It's not that I was arguing with Opal, but we are arguing with the office staff.

Sid was helpless and said, "I've been waiting here for six days."

Raymond raised his eyebrows and said, "We are under-rated, and it is not the time to receive a tracing commission, ten years."

Sid said: "But you can also help me find someone while taking other commissions...you can take me..."

"Listen." Raymond said: "I understand your mood, but we really can't do it. Our deputy head is a brainhead. Once he accepts this commission, he will definitely find it. Take you even more. Impossible, we can't even protect ourselves."

"You can ask for help from others." Raymond made a gesture, saying: "There are many senior mercenary regiments in the country of mercenaries, especially at level B... many of them are no longer entrusted for money and ratings. May be interested in these challenges."

Sid nodded perfunctoryly, Raymond sighed, took the next survey commission, went to meet Opal, and met the task.

The mission this time was unexpectedly smooth. The two only had to take a survey machine to go around the unmanned planet, but the new wasteland took a long time to go back and forth, and it was also far away from the starry sky gate. , Opal was so bored that mushrooms were growing on his head.

Thirty cosmic days later, they successfully returned to the star, and the magnetic storm came.

The last wave of spacecraft landed on the apron, crowded with people, waiting for the train to come to carry passengers.The small shuttle on the ground was canceled to avoid accidents. When the train sent them back to the union headquarters, it was already dark.

"Quickly!" The clerks closed the door, leaving two small doors for the mercenaries to enter and shout, "Shut down soon! As soon as possible!"

Raymond ran wetly into the hall to deliver the commission. People came and went, and Opal sat down in the corner, taking off his boots and pouring out the water inside.Notice a person-Sid.

Is he still here?!Opal remembered his tracing request, thirty-eight days had passed since they first met.Was it too difficult for no mercenary regiment to take his commission during this period?

The information board was closed, and Sid said anxiously to Raymond at the window. Raymond waved his hand: "No, no."

He turned and walked towards Opal. Sid chased behind him and said, "I beg you."

Opal got up and Raymond said: "Go, go have a drink."

Opal was almost frozen and said, "Side, let's come together."

Raymond glanced at Sid and acquiesced in Opal's invitation.The three sat down in the restaurant.

Sid has been living in an inn across the street all these days. Opal ordered food and Raymond said: "You don’t have to wait here. Once someone picks up the commission, the union will use the long wave communicator to notify your."

Opal nodded and said: "I also think you should go to other planets to relax, and it's useless even if you keep it."

Side sighed and said, "Help me, I bet all I can entrust."

Opal and Raymond looked at each other, and someone outside the door shouted: "Side!"

Sid immediately got up and said, "What's wrong?"

A young man came in from outside, it was Xun. He glanced at Raymond and Opal with a bad intention.

Sid said: "Let's have a drink together."

"No." Xun's face was cold and he said, "Go away."

Sid smiled after Xun left, and the eyes of Opal and Raymond always followed Xun's figure until he disappeared.

Raymond drew a cigarette and vaguely said, "Don't mix with him."

Sid said: "Xun is not what you think."

Opal couldn't help laughing, and found it very interesting. Sid said: "Xun is a good person."

Opal shook his head helplessly, Raymond was too lazy to discredit him, and the dish was served. Opal listened to Sid while he was talking about his plight-this is indeed a very, very headache task, so many mercenaries are watching When the task details, see the second line and then directly retreat the task.

Each employer can choose their commissioning method. There are usually two types: open and closed. Open commissioning faces all mercenaries, and you can check the task details to determine if you can't connect.

The closed entrustment can only be inspected after it is received, so as to facilitate the confidentiality of the identity of the employer.

There is also a type of encrypted commission, which is negotiated by the employer and the trade union, and then communicated privately with the mercenaries, all at your own risk.

"You should choose a closed commission at that time." Raymond said.

Opal: "Isn't this a pitman? The mercenaries are not stupid. The tracing task plus closed commission, or B-level, let no one touch it."

"Also." Raymond whispered.

Sid said: "My commission is to find my father."

Both Opal and Raymond were silent, Sid said: "I... don't even know if he is dead, he is my only loved one. The republic issued his death certificate and a suicide note prepared a long time ago. , But I think he is not dead yet..."

Raymond said: "Forget it."

"No." Opal said, "Go on."

Side sighed and began to tell his story before coming to the Ares galaxy.He was born in the central galaxy living area of ​​the Republic. Like countless teenagers, he began to receive education at the Interstellar Joint School at the age of six, graduated at the age of ten, and participated in vocational training.At the age of sixteen, he will be employed this year and will be twenty-two years older than Opal.

His father was a staff member called Spark Express, a private company with only a few spaceships and very little capital, who made deliveries between galaxies.Occasionally, I also contracted the transportation of goods in some remote areas, and privately do small businesses with tax evasion and tax evasion.

Three years ago, Sid’s father was sent to the M97 Ursa Major Nebula and took a guest with his package to the designated destination.As a result, there was a big explosion on the edge of the nebula. The entire spacecraft was blown to the bones, and the guests and all five crew members were killed.

The Republic sent police to investigate. At that time, the situation was very complicated. The M97 nebula showed some kind of instability, or a chain reaction of a supernova explosion, which caused the distortion of the remote force field and space.This is an unpredictable and catastrophic factor. Spark Express therefore received an insurance for the compensation of the spacecraft and life, and distributed it and reorganized a new sailing team.

Sid spent a full time with the company in lawsuits, and finally he was haggard. After receiving insurance compensation, he bought a spaceship and went to M97 Nebula to find his father. This took another two years and finally returned without success. .

The Republic is no longer in charge of this matter, and the identity information of the victims has long been included in the file.But Sid still stubbornly tossed between the planets, looking for his father's whereabouts.In his words, even if it is dead, you must find a relic as proof, otherwise he will never be at ease in his life.

But how can it be so easy to find a trace of debris in the vast universe that proves that his father died?Once the spacecraft explodes, the energy of the atomic furnace is enough to turn everything into molecules and atoms. Even if the power of the explosion only breaks it up, the resistance in space is extremely small. The spherical impact ejection other than the center point is enough to give the residual solid matter a Very fast, throwing them into the endless darkness.

As long as these substances do not change the trajectory of movement due to impact, they will always follow the initial speed and advance endlessly in a vacuum environment. One year is enough for it to fly out tens of millions of kilometers and search in the spherical area near the explosion point. It is impossible to get anything.

Sid didn't hide anything at all, and showed the difficulty and cross-examination of the mission. This is the hardest kind of mercenary mission-looking for the drifting victims.According to the standard rating, this commission will be rated at least A, and the reward points are 12,000.But because of Sid's remuneration problem-A-level team collaboration task will not be headed without 800,000.

Sid had only 200,000, so he relegated the task.

Remuneration of 200,000, 12,000 points, to find a person who was issued a death certificate by the Republic, the only reason to prove his survival was Sid’s wishful thinking, “I believe he is not dead yet”.

No one will look at such a commission.

Opal glanced at Raymond, and Raymond immediately understood what he meant, frowning: "You're crazy! We can't even receive the task rating, our team is still E-class..."

Opal said: "Our strength is more than E-level, and he can be specially designated, the reward is 12,000 points..."

Raymond said: "According to the mercenary's charter, lowering the commission level will reduce the points. If we take it, in addition to the 200,000 commissions, the reward will be only 240 cents! Do you understand?"

Opal disagreed, neither of them spoke, Raymond said to Sid: "We can't do it."

Opal suddenly said: "Wait, listen again, there is no loss, isn't it? Sid, what makes you think your father is alive?"

Sid shook his head and didn't want to go any further, saying, "Thank you."

Opal said: "No, finish, maybe we can give you some help?"

"You talk, I'm gone." Raymond didn't have a good air, and then got up and left.

Opal sat on the chair, raised his palm, grabbed Raymond's finger, and said, "Hi, comrade, don't do this."

Raymond's big hand was warm and comfortable. The two just held it lightly. Raymond unnaturally shook off Opal's hand and went to the front desk to check out without saying a word. Opal turned his middle finger at him, slandering Lei. Meng ordered a few cups of coffee and came back.

"E7, is there any news recently?" Raymond sat down.

E7 beaded a holographic newspaper, and Raymond pulled a chair, sitting back to them, casually smoking and reading the newspaper.

Opal motioned to Sid and said, Sid thought for a while, and said, "My mother died before I was born."

Opal understood and nodded, "You are not pregnant."

"Well." Sid said: "She and my dad are... elopement, my dad never mentioned her, I think she should be rich, but everything is not important."

Opal: "What does this have to do with your father's birth?"

Sid said: "I was genetically cultivated. My father left a little blood of my mother, took out the chromosomes, and put it together with him, and nurtured me. But my mother's genes have been damaged by the rays, and only a lot of them are left in the cells. For a short period, most of it was made up with my father’s genes, so... I’m like my father’s clone."

Raymond's rustling through the newspapers stopped.

Opal Road: "So what?"

Sid said: "I was different from other people when I was a kid. When I left the newborn nursery, I was taken home by my father and raised him. He grew up with me almost every day. I... maybe this is hard to believe , But I just knew he was alive, that was... something like faith."

The electronic sound of flipping the newspaper rang again.

Sid got up and said: "I know someone will be willing to help me, thank you, goodbye."
