How Did It Become a River Crab?

When Mo Lan found Xing Ji, the little girl had already changed into a gorgeous dress suitable for shopping. In Mo Lan's impression, this was the skin costume of the operator Xing Ji in the original work [Xun Yao]...

Operators who are summoned from Rhodes Island will have a temporary personal space to store some carry-on items, and fashions are naturally within the carrying range. At this moment, Xingji is standing on a statue as tall as a person, equipped with several lenses, like In front of the telescope group, which is as exquisite as a work of art, I listened to what the Numa lynx shopping guide Miao Miao Ao Ao introduced, and nodded politely while listening, looking quite peaceful.

...It would be more peaceful if the feather tips protruding from the corner of her skirt behind her were not fluttering back and forth.

"...All in all, this set of telescopes can observe many galaxies with extremely high precision in most areas, and even enjoy some of the allowed wonders of the universe. As a shipboard telescope set, whether it is collection or practical value They are all first class." The shopping guide rubbed his hands and said, "You see?"

"It is indeed a very good work, especially for someone like me, but unfortunately, my financial resources are not enough to afford its price." Xingji smiled and shook his head, "I hope it can be carefully crafted by someone who is destined. Thank you for your explanation."

Mo Lan glanced at the price, and the money allocated to Xingji was indeed not enough, but if Wei Luo forced it, the part of the money that he didn't need would be more than enough.

Xingji nodded slightly to the shopping guide, turned around and happened to see Mo Lan, raised his skirt and smiled at him: "Mr. Mo Lan."

"The dress is beautiful." Mo Lan raised her pliers and said, "Let's go, Wei Luo and En Daxing...it's time to go back to the ship if it's not Endas."

Xingji nodded happily, and walked slowly towards the outside of the Tianwen store.

After walking three steps, Xingji glanced back at the astronomical telescope group behind him. He continued to move forward and took a few more steps. He seemed to want to look back again, but tried hard to restrain his impulse. The blue feather tip behind him It drooped pitifully on the ankle held up by the high-heeled shoes, sweeping back and forth in small increments.

"...Brother, help me pack this thing."

"Eh?"

Chapter 720

Five minutes later, Mo Lan and Xing Ji walked side by side on Roulette Commercial Street, heading towards the location of Captain Wei Luo of the Advertisement Space Rent.

"Mr. Mo Lan, is this really alright?" Xing Ji followed Mo Lan half a step away, his tone a little hesitant, the feather tips under his skirt overlapped nervously, and the fingers interlocked in front of him. Fingers echoed each other, she hesitated for a moment, and timidly said in a calm but somewhat stuck rhythm: "If you return the product now, there is still time. I don't want you, the employer, to pay for me."

"You've asked this question three times." Mo Lan glanced at her backpack, where the telescope set that almost turned Xingji's small wings into helicopter propellers was lying quietly inside.

"But I will still answer you for the third time: For me, all the things that have nothing to do with endless points and can't improve combat power are meaningless. With the money in my hands, I can only choose the food from other stars." , but if you get this set of astronomical mirrors, it will be helpful for you to observe the galaxy and communicate with the stars. Out of the objective requirements of improving the combat power of the team, it is a very normal decision to buy you a set."

"Subjectively, giving good-looking girls some resources that I don't need to show my awesomeness will give me a huge sense of vanity and self-satisfaction. You see, this is called a win-win situation. It's very comfortable, so let's not have a fourth conversation like this."

"..." Xingji blinked, and the overlapping tail feathers behind him slowly stretched out, his eyes that seemed to be hiding stars flowed back and forth on Mo Lan's body, and smiled with some emotion: "You really told the rumors exactly the same."

"What rumors can TM involve shopping?"

"It doesn't refer to this matter, but refers to your action style." Xingji looked up and recalled: "It is said that there is a Sarkaz mercenary who once worked with you on Rhodes Island. Many stories are told by her."

"She once made an evaluation of you: [Mo Lan is a large-scale origin stone worm who does things unscrupulously, lawlessly, and annoying at a glance, but if I have to do something one day, the difficulty is so high that it is equal to If you can only choose one teammate for the errand of naked swimming in magma, I should choose him.]”

"[After all, apart from Sarkaz's mercenaries who can only cover Ding Bao's self-ashamed behavior, this brain crab really did not disappoint anyone who gave him the back.]"

After Mo Lan listened, she seamlessly converted the series of words into the voice of W in her mind, as if the white-haired girl with the American cockroach hairstyle appeared in her eyes, making a V letter, grinning and sticking out her tongue, with slaps on her eyes. The appearance of a black line that deserves a beating.

"Although the tone is rather aggressive, I think you are indeed a warrior who will not disappoint those around you." Xingji said sincerely, "It's just that I have a question that I would like to ask you."

"speak?"

"Excuse me, what does [Ding Bao] mean?" Xingji stared at Mo Lan with those big glasses shining like stars and said, "Is it some kind of traditional local vocabulary in Sarkaz? I asked Ms. Huang, she No matter what, you don’t want to tell me.”

"...I don't know about Chumi either." After a moment's delay, Mo Lan also stared at the innocent crab eyes, and changed the subject: "Speaking of this, how is the situation in the world of Terra now? What about the situation in Rhodes Island? ?”

Mo Lan has always wanted to know the situation of the Arkworld that he has been to. Judging from the details that Xingji went to the island and W also appeared in Rhodes Island, so far, the timeline of this Arkworld has at least arrived. In the later stage of the Dragon Gate chapter, the player’s incarnation [Doctor] has been rescued by Rhodes Island. He regrouped in Dragon Gate and gathered a group of new fighters. He and the main villain of the first chapter [Integration Movement] and the behind-the-scenes black hand of the chapter [Black Snake] 】The timing of the decisive battle in Kossiche.

But Xingji's answer surprised Mo Lan.

"Rhode Island has developed very well in recent years, and has launched many businesses around the world. This ship travels between various mobile city-states, constantly conducting various medical activities and academic seminars, and the free armed forces responsible for maintaining stability are also It is booming, and everything is quite optimistic except for the frequent public security problems in various places."

"Ah?" Mo Lan was stunned, "No, what about the integration movement?"

According to the original plot, the main enemy of the first chapter, the extreme violent terrorist organization [Integration Movement] composed of infected people, should have caused a huge blow and pressure to Rhodes Island, but in Xingji's narrative, this organization is As if it doesn't exist.

"Integration Movement?" Xingji was stunned for a moment, as if he was searching for relevant information on this word in his memory, "Ah... In the case of Integration Movement, it is the organization controlled by [Black Snake] Kosche behind the scenes, right?"

"It's actually..."

"As far as that organization is concerned, the leader behind the scenes, Kosche, was decapitated by an extraterrestrial visitor like you one night half a year ago." Xingji explained, "It is said that at that time, they were planning an attack that would affect the Ursas city of Chernobyl." Fortunately, Berg's attack was stopped in time, otherwise the entire city might be destroyed by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the consequences would be disastrous."

Xingji's set made Mo Lan completely confused.

[Chernobog] is the main stage of the prologue of "Ark of Tomorrow". Players, the mastermind behind Chapter 1, who controlled the integration movement leader Tallulah's [Black Snake] Cosche, was killed in advance, and the entire original plot was cut off from the beginning?

While being confused, Mo Lan asked about the villains in the second to fifth chapters of Xingji one after another, and finally got the answer that they were all given to unknown users one year before the Ark world line. It was shattered, and a series of chain reactions triggered by this caused Rhode Island's [Doctor] to be found, and the sarcophagus is probably still sleeping in some corner with difficulty...

That is to say, the world of "Tomorrow's Ark" that Mo Lan has been to twice, under the influence of users and players, the plot has long gone in a completely different direction from the original.All the original plot nodes were completely smashed and discarded, and it became a relatively safe world line with bright prospects for the development of Rhodes Island and the entire world.

The question is... who did it?What is their purpose?Is it the actions of these people that caused the energy level of the Ark World to increase?

Mo Lan didn't think it was a purely good thing. Those users who had been to that Ark World overtly and secretly might have left many unknown hidden dangers to that land.

After being shocked by the sudden explosion of the plot line, Mo Lan and Xing Ji also walked to the border area of ​​the roulette business district, which is where Wei Luo is located.

One bird and one crab raised their heads, staring innocently at the pink signboard of the theater building.

[FOX48!Heartbeat Theater! 】

The very familiar old Japanese idol-style sweet song came out from behind the door, and the sound waves beat on the hearts of Mo Lan and Xing Ji, shaking and shaking, making people almost think that they were under the spell of a demon (①).

... Captain, are you going to recruit dozens of idol chefs for the advertising space rental account to hold a holographic handshake meeting every day?

Chapter 720 Seven Automatic Idols

Inside the heartbeat theater, on the stage, there is a whole set of holographic system, projecting sixteen star fox girls wearing Japanese singing costumes, singing and dancing lively. Let go.

Out of curiosity, Mo Lan had read the story of FOX48, the star fox idol group, before. This is a virtual idol group composed of more than 100 star fox AI girls with different personalities. The intelligent AI is divided into five groups according to groups A, B, C, and 100 and 4. Groups are touring all over the galaxy. They not only have many fans in the territory of the Star Fox Church, but also have many fans among the various races of the galaxy. At the beginning, there were only 8 AI units, and then expanded all the way, experienced AI aging, meltdown and other changes, and developed to the current scale all the way to the current scale. Wearing the idol's clothes, waving the fluorescent sticks in their hands to cheer enthusiastically, and shouts of "FOX-48 sauce!" and "KV-48 sauce are the best!" came from time to time, which made the two experience a huge shock.

Mo Lan originally thought that it would be very difficult to accurately find out Wei Luo, the naughty captain, from so many people. Prominent places found him.

Right in front of the stage, there is a specially cleared space. In the open space, there are more than a dozen strong men holding extended light sticks. They are waving the light sticks in exaggerated movements full of power, forming smooth and handsome lines. The dance is very entertaining as if dancing with two lightsabers.

Mo Lan has never seen this thing with his own eyes, but he knows that it is called [WOTA Art]. It takes great physical fitness and years of practice to jump out.Generally, it is a high-end skill that can only be learned by fanatical fans.

(By the way: Those groups who wave light sticks according to the rhythm in the audience are also a kind of WOTA art, called "calling for XX". Later, the popular meme of "calling for XX" popular in China is the word spread The product after the change of mind.)

Speaking of this, the judges must have guessed it. That's right, in the center of the WOTA show group, there is a star fox hunk nearly two meters tall who is waving two silver light sticks. It is Wei Luo himself.

"Every time this hydrocephalus receives money, [-]% of it will be sent back to my hometown to build a school, and [-]% will be used for these things."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from Mo Lan and Xingji's ears. They turned their heads at the same time and found En Daxing...Endas had stood behind them at some point, with a large satchel on his body. The bag seems to have just returned from shopping.

"I believe that every creature needs its own way of stress relief, but I still think that holding a concert with more than 100 large personality simulation AIs is a very weird way to relieve stress, but it doesn't affect me after all, so I don't care Yes." En Daxing frowned and said seriously: "I just hope he has already recruited the crew."

"Mr. En, my thoughts are somewhat similar to yours." Mo Lan nodded and shouted amidst the loud waves, "But can I ask a question?"

"What's the problem?" En Daxing replied loudly.

"Can you explain to me what is the pattern on your bag?"

Mo Lan stretched out her pliers and pointed to the bag that Endas was carrying.

This bag depicts a Japanese-style female Jiusanren, wearing a white coat, six tentacles covered with wraps similar to stockings, two needles with pink liquid rolled up, wearing rose-red glasses, two pairs The eyes look forward to make waves, which is really attractive.

""Heimeijiao Medical Doctor·Extreme Mariko"!" En Daxing said with the loudest volume ever: "It is a quasi-restricted medical animation that I personally admire the most. The human body structure is rigorously researched and the proportions are perfect. Best ever! "

"Are you fucking qualified to taunt the captain?!"

After the exciting performance ended, several robots with wheels that looked like oil barrels jumped onto the stage, and projected a holographic image of a beautiful star fox girl on the red projection port above their heads. Arranged in rows in a high order, everyone held a handshake ticket in their hands, and the traditional handshake meeting after the performance began. Hold tightly.It's fun.

Wei Luo, the leader of the support, naturally also shook hands, but the difference is that he first shook hands with his main AI idol, and then stepped over to shake hands with the AI ​​system maintenance personnel behind him: "Don't forget the well digger when you drink water, thank you Thank you for your hard work!"

The maintenance personnel burst into tears, and immediately sent Wei Luo ten more handshake tickets. Wei Luo shook every mechanical arm on the machine, and then turned around to join Mo Lan and the others.

"I know what you're going to ask." Wei Luo sighed, "I've tried it. Not many people in Roulette are willing to work in the high-risk scientific research ship industry. We are destined to explore high-risk unknown hyperspace channels. Some people who wanted to come were also scared away, and the rest were either crooked, or asking for a price higher than the heels of the Star Fox Goddess, and they were just disgusting foxes."

"Is the boat itself ready?" Mo Lan asked.

"It's ready, there are fewer people than expected, only more than 40 crew members are needed, and it can be controlled after a quick AI training. My idea is to make an extra trip and find a colony star of the Star Fox Theocracy... ..."

"No need." Mo Lan lifted the tongs and said:

"I have a way".

Incident Report: Bizarre Disappearance at the Zoo

Content of report:

The God of the Star Fox is here!

A bizarre case of disappearance occurred in the Numa Comprehensive Alien Zoo located in Roupan. More than [-] giant claw crabs/giant claw crabs raised in the zoo mysteriously disappeared overnight. The Merchant Alliance is currently investigating. According to eyewitnesses , this group of crab creatures wore suits at night, filed out, and got into the bottom of the wheel at a very high speed, and then a ship of unknown model left the port immediately. , the specific details are still under further investigation.

Reply: ...is this none of our business?

Chapter 720 New Advertisement Space Rental Number

Three hours later, at the edge of the star system where [Roulette] is located, the [Executioner-class] frigate, which looks like a double-clawed giant crab, is heading towards the point of the nearest hyperspace channel.

At this moment, the frigate's original platinum and gold painting has disappeared without a trace, replaced by mobile advertising lights all over the ship, marked with [Faji Xingxian Food Stall], [Tianbaowang Fast Food], The signboard of [Desheng Tea Restaurant (Galaxy Chain, FOX48 linkage event in progress)] hangs on every corner of this brand-new advertising space rental number, which looks like an armor plated with a layer of billboards.

The most exaggerated thing is that on the left side of the ship, there is also a holographic projection advertising launcher. The advertising image above is like this: a nine-three people like Endas are standing in front of an energy center that is about to explode , absorbing all the energy in the center into the body, the whole starfish changed from Pai Daxing to a lot of puffed food in the shape of fish brand starfish, which is about to explode at any time, and is saying goodbye to the friends around, the scene is like a hero who sacrificed himself, The scene of saving the world is extremely tragic.

Then, a human explorer beside him suddenly slapped his forehead, took out a box of pills from his bag, and poured his brains into the mouth of the nine-three person. The next moment, the nine-three person trembled and shouted angrily. With a sound, he rushed out of the room, lying on the ground, with his butt facing the sky, a laser beam burst out from the hole of his buttocks, expulsing all the energy in his body, and survived.

In the last shot, Jiusan and his brothers embraced and looked up at the starry sky together. The product name and slogan were also printed in the advertising image at this moment.

[Van Geli brand universal laxative for all races, so that your journey of salvation will not be hindered by constipation, I love you so much, Vang Li! 】

As a college student majoring in editing and directing, Mo Lan feels that this advertisement is not vulgar or not, it is indeed memorable from the design point of view...

These exaggerated advertising light strips are all sponsored by the merchants on [Roulette], in exchange for placing their own advertisements on the ship. These merchants will provide complete logistics services such as ammunition, maintenance, and equipment for the [Advertising Space Rental Number]. At the same time, under Wei Luo's lobbying, these advertising light boards are all made of materials as hard as possible, and can be used as a set of external armor in a critical moment, which also provides a considerable degree of practicability, which can be described as a perfect win-win situation.

And in the interior of this first ship, dozens of giant claw crabs, giant claw crabs are busy in every corner of the ship, maintaining the inside and outside of this large frigate, accepted by these crabs abducted by Mo Lan from the zoo The fast AI teaching designed by Endas synchronizes the knowledge of one's position directly through the external electronic brain and the biological brain, and quickly becomes dozens of excellent crew members. The leader is still the crab's crab boat.

While completing this series of operations, the system also officially opened a new [Ship Panel] for Mo Lan, so that Mo Lan can understand the situation of the ship more intuitively.

...It seems that even in the eyes of a benevolent and benevolent system, the big hamburger of the previous [advertising space rental account] really cannot be called a complete ship.

[Advertising space rental number] (Because the title sponsor has not negotiated well, the original name will be kept for the time being)]

Completeness: 100%
