Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Friday passed quietly. The next day was the weekend, and the festive atmosphere in Academy City was even more grand. But what happened in the alley last night was like a stone thrown into water, without any ripples.

Although on the surface, the official did not report this matter, many details of the battle were exposed on the Ajieka network, and some people continued to analyze the various abilities of the flesh and blood monster that night.

This is a hidden space located inside the AIJEKA network. It is an area that is difficult for ordinary residents to reach. Opinions from all parties also gather here. Those who can reach here are often 'senior users' of the AIJEKA network.

"The opponent's self-healing ability is extremely strong, and coupled with its quick movement and camouflage abilities, it is indeed difficult to hunt down."

"The 'Grey Mountain' is still too limited when dealing with it. If it were another elite transcendent of the light feather sequence, it might not be so frustrating to lose."

"If it is a blood pupil sequence that is good at blood curses and poisons, it can completely defeat such a flesh and blood monster."

After discussing combat matters, someone else analyzed the dangers of the clown carrying potions.

"The part that enhances strength has no threat to giant companies that are proficient in various elixirs. But the part that can infect cells and slowly transform genes when drunk does have amazing effects. If you use This is more lethal to threaten certain powerful people.”

"He only treats this as a treasure. Not to mention, some rare candies from 'Lagdis' can achieve effects similar to replenishing the essence of magic power and promoting strength improvement."

"You said it's easy upstairs. Have you ever bought them? Do you know how expensive those rare candies and elixirs are? And the potions given by the clown are very low-cost to prepare, otherwise they wouldn't give them away so easily."

After that, the two sides argued about the economic aspect of the potion for nearly a hundred floors. It wasn't until the heat subsided a little that someone mentioned another matter.

"At the end of the video, the flesh-and-blood monster is about to hang the man in gray in mid-air. Is this the end of the battle?"

"I don't know. The video was sent just like this. The back part must have been cut off."

Then, the direction of everyone's discussion gradually changed, and this incident was gradually submerged in the vast and endless network. Only a few people noticed that the riot control unit and monitoring and self-discipline unit patrolling in Academy City changed after this night. It has become much denser, and more monitoring devices have been installed in some places where there is not much traffic.

On Saturday afternoon, Tilan was sitting under a tree in the courtyard of the mansion, with a simple wooden chair under her and a small round table next to her with a teapot and a book on it. A maid stood behind her. , wait quietly.

Smoothing the pages blown by the wind with her fingertips, Tilan continued to read the "Anthology of Singers of the Past".

Silugea, a well-known singer in the early days of the Federation, was born in 186 of the Sixth Era. At that time, the singers in the Federation entered a period of small decline. Since Sandra's generation of "Sandstone Rose" Since then, none of the new generation of singers has broken through to Sun Yao level, and their influence is far less than that of the singers born in the early golden age.

Regarding this phenomenon, some people commented that the era when the new generation of singers was born was too stable and comfortable, lacking some kind of growth and unforgettable experience. As a result, after the 180th year of the Sixth Era, whether it was singers, the music industry, or the film and television industry, , are all in a situation of poverty and scarcity, and excellent works are rare. Many people can only miss the golden age of turmoil, great development, and great innovation in the early days of the Federation.

After the group of singers and characters like Sandra the Sandstone Rose gradually aged and retired, the Federation fell into a dull and anxious state.

At the beginning of the Sixth Era, eradicating the darkness of the Fifth Era, re-opening the territory of civilization, and restoring the prosperity of the entire human society was the common goal of society, and it was also the consensus of almost all the surviving descendants from that era.

However, when the Federation really gradually realized these goals, the happy time of society did not last long.

In the golden age of great development and great innovation, the entire Federation is in urgent need of population. Whether it is the development fleet going to remote star areas or the fighting in various emerging markets in society, a large number of talents are needed. Support, almost all the adult population, as long as their own problems are not too serious, can find suitable jobs and then plunge into the hot construction and development.

However, this fiery scene gradually reached saturation after 160 years of the Sixth Era, and also ushered in a big turning point around the 180th year of the Sixth Era. Most of the planets that can be easily developed in the Federation have been developed or have entered the advanced stage of development and no longer require a large number of personnel.

The situation of mutual competition in the market in many fields has gradually stabilized. Various industry giants have slowly emerged and established. Related industry standards have gradually stabilized. It is difficult for new companies to impact the market share of established groups. The economic gap between the central star field and the remote star field It gradually took shape, and as it expanded outward, its economic value gradually declined, until finally the pace of federal development slowly stopped.

Because the star field near the center is home to more than 70% of the industries, and high-end industries are concentrated in the central star field. As you go to the edge of the federation, the industry becomes sparse. Even if you want to develop, you still need to produce certain goods, whether it is The import of raw materials and the main sales market are not as convenient as the central star region, and the transportation cost is low. This leads to the closer to the edge of the federation, the more economically backward the relevant star regions are.

When the economic value of newly developed planets became lower and lower, and people became less and less willing to go there, the Federation's pioneering period gradually ended, and its territory slowly stabilized.

Born in such an era, after realizing the life-long goals of the sages, people who were originally united gradually lost their goals, and society became dull and anxious. Young people no longer found jobs as easily as in the past golden age, and positions Their promotions are far inferior to those of their grandparents' generation.

"I don't care about those great and praised things."

When 'Fiber Orchid' Silugea was interviewed for the first time, she started talking about her unique style.

This black-haired and red-eyed singer, with snow-white skin and slender figure, has a kind of enchanting charm. She has a changeable personality throughout her life. Sometimes she is idle and quiet, sometimes she is aggressive and showy, sometimes she is kind-hearted, and sometimes she is cold and indifferent. , that kind of behavior that is not restrained at all, and she can easily destroy even the image she has established in the past, fully demonstrates the unusual style of this singer.

For this singer, the federal authorities at the time could be described as loving and hating her. Because of her rebelliousness, many young people imitated her, but also because of the massive popularity and influence she brought to the originally lifeless society. There is a sense of vitality and freshness.

She is different from those dignified singers in the past. Silugea is willing to experience and try many things. She participated in a large number of movies and TV series in her early years, with a variety of styles, including a simple princess who does not know the world, and a charming and evil witch. , there are lustful and corrupt rich girls, innocent and lovely students, etc.

For her, she came to the human world just to have fun. She wanted to experience every aspect. Since real life is inconvenient, wouldn't it be enough to experience it in acting?

Many TV dramas and movies were actually written and filmed by her specifically for fun and experience. She doesn’t care whether the audience likes her or not, but letting herself experience the freshness is the most important thing.

In addition to filming, she also formed a band and kept switching. A band may last only a few years. When she gets tired of it, she will change to a new one. Then she is also keen on traveling to various places and shooting local scenery as a music video. This is also based on her fame. Many unknown planets in the Federation are known to the mainstream people.

This singer rarely issued serious political slogans or declarations, but her influence far exceeded that of other singers and politicians at the time. She was also the strongest Lieyang-level singer of that era, and countless people were willing to incarnate A mindless follower who imitates her behavior.

It’s not just ordinary people who like and admire her. Even hundreds of years after her death, some singers are still imitating her style. Because of her lead, various novel trend products have emerged, and people have begun to pursue various styles. This is something that expresses one's own personality. Especially young people, in order to express themselves differently, have begun to reject the purchase and use of products from established companies.

Although this kind of behavior is somewhat naive, it does give many new companies the blood to get through the difficult initial stage, and to carve out various small and unique subdivisions in the originally stable market, and maintain it, making People who are unwilling to use the products of large companies can have the freedom to make other choices.

In the year 309 of the Sixth Era, the singer died at home, leaving a last message.

"It is such a happy and fun life. If there is a next time, please don't forget to take me with you."

The writing on the page gradually came to the end, and a slender blood-colored orchid representing Silgea emerged, just like the image she left to the world, with a quiet and enchanting beauty.

After reading the life record of 'Blood Fiber Orchid' Silugea, Tilan put down the book, slowly raised her head, closed her eyes slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and recalled the singer of that amazing era.

"She is such a free and temperamental person. No wonder there are still people fascinated by him today." She lamented the extraordinary life of every singer named in history. She also lamented the changes in the world. In that era of gradual affluence, people were not as big as they were in their early years. The passion and happiness of pioneering times.

However, even though 'Blood Fiber Orchid' Silugea brought new vitality and vitality to the Federation of that era, and greatly promoted the emergence of new consumer markets, it did not really solve the problems at the bottom of the Federation, but only delayed them. And postponed, until hundreds of years later, the accumulated grievances and conflicts completely broke out, and the entire federation ushered in a complete civil war, and the 'Cobalt Blue Tears' ended and transformed everything.

Closing the book, some finely chopped light yellow osmanthus blew down, and drifted to Tilan's fingertips in the breeze. She gently touched the small petals, put them into the palm of her hand, then slipped between her fingers, and blew away in the wind again. .

In the corner of Academy City, a small shuttle landed slowly, and out came a young man wearing a straight military uniform. He looked to be about 20 years old. The logo and badge on his shoulder indicated that he had the rank of captain. At this age, he could be said to be very young. Excellent.

Those who came to greet him were several young people of similar age to him.

"Hey, Yade, you're back." The familiar people punched him in the chest as soon as they came up, and then hugged each other.

"Haha, isn't this coming?" He replied a little shyly, seeming a little unaccustomed to everyone's enthusiasm.

"We haven't seen each other for two years. It is said that you have been elected as the pilot of the new mecha. Among us, you are the most promising." Pulling him, they walked and chatted.

They were high school classmates and also studied in the Central Star Territory. Although the schools were different, they used to get together almost every week. It was not until they graduated that they gradually got together less and less.

Unlike other students, Yade went to a military school and is now in the practical training stage, serving in the Federation's Central Third Fleet. He will not return from vacation until the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival.

"You will officially graduate next year, Yade." Among these people, Yade is undoubtedly the most talented and has the most outstanding achievements.

"Yeah." He replied calmly, sitting with his companions in the open-air restaurant on the rooftop, overlooking the cityscape in the distance.

"How about the Third Fleet? I heard that every soldier in it is above Sequence 6. They are the elite among the elites of the Federation and the ace among the aces." An old classmate was curious.

"This, if it's a combat position, it's probably like this." He answered slightly cautiously.

"It's a civilian job, isn't it? But even so, it can be said to be luxurious. In general, a Sequence 6 officer in the cruising fleet in the local star field can be a high-ranking officer." Some people lamented the huge gap.

"The six main fleets in the center of the Federation can be said to have brought together the Federation's top combat forces. They are naturally proud of the galaxy and cannot be compared with other forces."

"If you are promoted to fleet commander in the future, even captain, Yade will be a great person. I guess the memorial wall in our high school will have to be dedicated to you, haha." Others also laughed.

"Thanks, but." Yad drank his beer, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Central Fleet for long." His words surprised his companions.

"What's wrong, are you being squeezed out?" After all, they all have ordinary backgrounds, and they are the greatest luck to be able to study in the Central Star Territory.

"Not really, the atmosphere of the central main fleet is pretty good." He denied this statement.

"Then why don't you stay? Is there a better way out than this? You must know that it is the main fleet directly under the Central Council. All the most advanced equipment and starships are prioritized by them for installation. All kinds of new mechas , and they will also test it.”

"It's very complicated to say, and I'm afraid it's hard for you to understand." Yade looked at the city in the distance. There was a constant flow of floating cars here, and the decorations of the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival on the streets were very gorgeous and festive.

"I want to go back to my hometown, which is the Western Patrol Fleet, and serve in it."

"What are you doing?" The others didn't know what to say.

"Is it possible that someone you like is in your hometown and you don't want to be separated?" After all, the central fleet has strict military discipline and has fewer opportunities to get together, so it is not as free as the cruising fleet.

"That's not the reason. It's hard for me to explain now. Maybe many years later, you will understand me." He stood up.

"Let's meet again next time. I'm sorry this time, I'm leaving first." After saying that, he waved to everyone and turned to say goodbye.
