Qi Le

The four of Moran walked in the market like a spotlight, always attracting a lot of attention and being watched by all kinds of onlookers.

For example, the crow and the barn owl had contact with other races before, and had several interactions with them, and Qi Le reminded them that they would not pay too much attention to the four of them passing by the shop, and cared more about their own business.

This is not the case with other native species.

At first sight, four alien races appeared in the market and walked past them. Even though they were not wearing laser weapons, they did not make any hostile actions. Apart from being curious, they still couldn't help feeling tense and ready to fight anytime, anywhere. Enter a combat state.

Especially the populations that came from other areas.

They have only heard about the base established by Shiar, but have not seen it with their own eyes, let alone dealing with the aliens inside.Even knowing the various measures of the base and hearing a lot of useful information from Mole, the inherent impression still cannot be changed overnight.

Hundreds of years of hunting star career, so that they are always vigilant against outsiders.

Although the base has announced that it will close the hunting grounds, not allow foreign hunting ships to land, and severely punish poachers, the estrangement of centuries cannot be dissolved by Mashan.

Even taking a small step takes a long time.

At this moment, seeing Moran and the others, it is not difficult to understand the cautiousness and even hostility in everyone's eyes.

Qi Le walked beside Moran, and could clearly feel that no less than a dozen eyes fell on him.Fortunately, the cat dad did not feel obvious hostility in it, but more curious and puzzled.

Looking around, he met the original species who cast a suspicious look on him. The latter froze for two seconds, turned his head first, and stopped staring at the group of people.

The reason and process of the appearance of the bazaar have all been heard by native species.

Cat dad often goes to the base to trade, and maintains a certain degree of contact with other races, which is not a secret among the races.After all, potions and ores cannot come out of thin air, they are all purchased from other races.

Since Qi Le maintains long-term trade with foreign races, and this is his territory, it is not uncommon to allow foreign races to come.

After the initial curiosity, most of the original species adopted a neutral attitude and kept a certain distance from Moran and others. They neither approached nor deliberately showed hostility, but dispersed one after another. developments.

The few who were violent, reckless, and even showed aggressive intentions were quickly stopped by the patrol team and warned not to make trouble.If you don't listen to dissuasion, you will be expelled immediately, and you will not be allowed to trade in the market in a short period of time.

Qi Le and Squirrel entered the base, and any aliens with evil intentions who tried to harm them would be cleared out by Shiar, without any leeway.

Moran and others came to the market. As the owner of the territory, Qi Le also had to do his duty and make arrangements in advance to avoid accidents.

What's more, with the strength of the native species, against the fighting power of Moran and the others, if they really fought in the market, the damage caused would definitely be beyond imagination.

A collapsed house can be rebuilt, even if the entire market is demolished, it can still be rebuilt.

However, it is not happy for cat dad to hurt either party.

This kind of battle is meaningless, not to mention deepening the estrangement between each other, it will also hinder his next plan, and it must not be let go.

Da da!

Since the spear ants and army ants left, the black ants and fire ants have taken over the former, shouldering the security work in the market together with the black spider.

At this moment, a few fire ants walked up to a group of native buffaloes, raised their brown-red bodies slightly, shook their antennae, raised their pincers, and issued a stern warning to them.

All native species who do business in the market understand the meaning of this gesture.

If the person being warned is ignorant of current affairs, he must bear the consequences at his own risk.

The native buffalo planed its front hooves violently, and the nostrils exhaled hot air, faintly carrying sparks.One of them was the strongest in size, let out a deep roar, straightened a huge corner, and was about to charge forward.

The buffalo is one of the most dangerous native species. Even if it is no match for the ant colony, it may not be impossible to fight.

Before the fire ants could make a move, two native horses stepped forward and intercepted between the buffalo and the fire ants.One of them raised its front hoof and stomped heavily on the ground, warning the buffalo not to make trouble.

"Zhaka, this is not the sixth district, not a place where you can play wild. It's best not to cause trouble and cause trouble for everyone."

"That's a foreign race!" the buffalo roared angrily.

"I have eyes, so I can see. But they didn't show hostility, and they didn't even wear laser weapons." The black horse calmly nodded in Qi Le's direction, its smooth mane hanging down its neck, and its lower end swayed slightly, "You It should also be seen that standing beside them is the owner of this territory."

"So what?!" the buffalo growled loudly.

"How?" The black horse smiled instead of anger, and the words in his mouth were no longer polite, "Think about it with your poor brain, why can they appear here? It must have been approved by the owner of the territory! This territory does not belong to you, you No right to deport anyone here!"

"They are aliens! Have you forgotten what they did to us?!" the buffalo said angrily.

"I haven't forgotten." The black horse was already a little impatient, "The reason why the rules exist is for everyone to abide by. We came to the eleventh district to trade, exchange for what the ethnic group needs, not to fight. Before the alien race did not take the initiative to attack us , I don't think provocation is a good idea."

"I agree with what Isaac said." Another dark horse said, "The squirrels have said that they come from the base, and they are different from those aliens who hunted on Blue Star."

The base severely punished poachers, and the prohibition of hunting ships from re-entering the Blue Star has been proven, and it cannot be faked.

The two dark horses believed that Qi Le, as the master of the territory, must have his considerations in allowing foreigners to enter the market and appear in front of everyone.

As an outsider, all he can do is to remain cautious and wait and see what happens before he knows the reason.The last thing you should do is to look for opportunities to make trouble, to cause trouble in other people's territories.

What's more, those aliens didn't show any attacking intentions, and the only thing that could be called a weapon was a dagger, and Zhaka's actions were completely unreasonable.

Even if they are very clear, that kind of foreign race with pale skin and pointed ears is a "weapon" in itself and has extremely strong combat effectiveness.But it is really unwise to act provocatively like a buffalo before the other party does anything out of the ordinary.

The black horse and the buffalo are also from the sixth district. Because they live close together, they have occasional contact with each other.

This time I came to the [-]th district together, at first everything went well, and I bought a lot of urgently needed goods.Just as they were going to the raptor's store to buy potions, they ran into Qi Le and Moran head-on.

Seeing the alien race on the opposite side, the buffalo immediately fell into a rage, regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones, it was about to attack.

Fortunately, the native ants intercepted it in time, otherwise, no one can guarantee what the temper of the buffalo will do.If there is a conflict in someone else's territory, the consequences may be difficult to deal with.

Zhaka is indeed a leader in the group, with strong fighting power, and he is determined not to be afraid to fight the native ants.But if you really start with it, no matter how rough the skin is, it will definitely not take advantage of it.

Even if it is not the most terrifying spear and army ants, fire ants are by no means easy to deal with, enough to drink a pot of water buffalo.What's more, the opponent has the "home court" advantage. If Xhaka can't see the situation clearly, he will definitely suffer a big loss.

The reason why the dark horse came forward to block was based on various considerations.

In any case, they came from the same district, and this time they came to trade together, regardless of their friendship, they cannot just watch each other cause trouble and become enemies.

Another point is that if the owner of the territory is offended and they are not allowed to trade again, it will be an incalculable loss for both ethnic groups.

"Zanka, Dhaka, it's best to stop Zhaka and don't let him mess around." Isaac turned his head and said to the relatively calm buffalo, "You don't want the plan of this trip to go to waste, do you?"

Several buffaloes looked at each other, and they all thought that what the black horse said made sense.

Only Zhaka's eyes were red, he roared, he used a hard horn to push away his fellow clansmen, and was about to charge forward again.

Seeing that he really didn't listen to persuasion, Isaac finally lost his patience. Without any warning, he kicked his hind hoof directly, and with all his strength, he accurately kicked the buffalo Zhaka's chin.

boom!

This is the buffalo being kicked and flying upside down.

boom!

This is Xhaka fell on his back, with all four hooves in the sky, and hit the ground heavily.

The guy who caused the commotion passed out, and the expected battle would naturally not happen.

When Zanka and other buffaloes were busy taking care of Zhaka, the black horse Isaac walked up to Qi Le, bowed his neck, and apologized: "I apologize for my companion's recklessness. Zhaka lost several relatives during the hunting season, so , he will lose his mind."

"I can understand." Qi Le nodded.When the horse's mane brushed past his eyes, he instinctively raised his front paw and patted it quickly.Feel good, and took a second shot.Facing Isaac's surprised gaze, realizing what he had done, he immediately withdrew his claws and shook his beard in embarrassment.

You can't blame him, it's just that the dark horse is so beautiful.

The body is strong, the muscles are strong, the mane hangs down, and the light shines faintly, like silk and satin, which makes people want to touch it.

After observing Qi Le for a while, it seemed that he could see what he was thinking. The dark horse let out a deep laugh and changed its shape on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, what stood in front of Father Cat was no longer a strong black horse, but a young man with slender limbs, firm outline, and dark skin.

The young man only wore a pair of black trousers, and the tight leather wrapped his strong thighs.The upper body is bare, with a distinctive totem on the broad shoulders, which is darker than the skin color.

Strong pectoral muscles and eight-pack abs, plus the bulging biceps on the arms, show strength everywhere.

Long black hair hangs down behind her, with an elegant texture, just like a horse's mane.

In order to match Qi Le's height, the young man touched the ground with one knee and held Qi Le's front paw with one hand.

"When I was in the horse group, I heard about your deeds from the camels of the merchants. I knew everything you did, and I always wanted to take a look at the eleventh district." The young man smiled brightly, as bright as the sun, "Everything here It opened my eyes.”

"Thank you." Qi Le was inevitably a little embarrassed to be praised so much.

"My name is Isaac. If you come to the sixth district, welcome to my territory. I will entertain you with the best exotic meat."

"If there is a chance, I will definitely go." Father Cat moved his ears and nodded vigorously.

Mutated plants can feed on exotic animals, so it doesn't seem so strange that evolved horses eat meat?

Isaac stood up and nodded to Moran and the others respectively.

"Hello." The green girl's attitude was a little cold, showing obvious alienation.

Isaac didn't take it seriously, smiled again, said goodbye to the cat father, and turned to his companion.

Looking at Isaac's back, Qi Le tilted his head.

In his opinion, if the town develops to a certain scale and expands contact with other races, this young man named Isaac should be a good diplomatic talent.

But after all, they don't know each other well. Whether this idea is feasible remains to be seen.

After the buffalo, there was no native species to provoke again, Qi Le continued to lead the way for several people, starting from the crow's shop, and toured the entire market.

"Go up from here." Qi Le stepped onto the corridor and said, "From this corridor, you can see most of the market.

Moran and the others followed Qi Le to the air corridor, looked down from above, and soon had an understanding of the building layout.

"It turns out that I read it right before." Moran said, "This is really modeled after the base."

"The airport and control tower are not included." Qi Le did not deny it.

The builders are squirrels and moles, there is no other reference, and the best imitation object is the alien base.

But it is not all copying, but imitating the layout of the base, arranging the buildings, building air corridors, and building various streets, which are suitable for native species to live in.

"It's amazing." Ashlia praised, "According to my observation, only half of the buildings here use growth ore, and the rest of the materials are ordinary ore and metal plates disassembled from spaceships, right?"

"That's true." Qi Le said, "The price of growing ore is too high, and the quantity is limited. It is also very good to use these materials."

"That's true." Ashlia put one hand on her forehead to block the scorching sun, "What is that metal platform for?"

"It's a landing pad, used to park spaceships and aircraft. Sometimes, it's also used for auctions." Qi Le explained.

"Auction?" Moran asked.

Before Qi Le could explain, five or six black eagles flew over from the forest.

Each black eagle held a strange beast in its claws, hovered over the market for two weeks, attracted enough attention, landed on the lifting platform one after another, and began to "auction" the prey.

This is a new form of trade, first initiated by native ants, and soon mastered by other species.

Especially birds of prey.

Whenever they catch rare prey, they will openly bid in the market while it is fresh.All native species present can bid, and the highest bidder wins.

"That's the other use I was talking about." Qi Le pointed to the lively landing platform and said to Moran.

"I see." Moran nodded.

"Anyone can bid?" Ashlia asked curiously.

"Yes."

"Pay with what?" Ashlia continued.

"Crystal nuclei, potions, ores, xenoplants, or other trading methods that the seller is willing to accept." Qi Le said, "You can't buy or sell by force, everything is voluntary. You can't go back on your purchase, but you can buy it in the market For sale again."

"Can we also bid?" Ashlia eagerly tried.

"Of course." Qi Le smiled and nodded.The tip of the tail is wagging, and it is another image of a beckoning cat.

Moran patted Ashlia and shook his head at her.

"The potions and energy stones on us are limited, don't you want to change to mutant plants?"

In Moran's view, this kind of bidding method may not be cost-effective to replace the crystal nucleus.For other things, the population of Constellation [-] doesn't eat meat, so what do they buy it for?

"Indeed." Ashlia was only curious for a moment, and did not really lose her mind.After being reminded by Moran, he calmed down and quickly gave up the idea of ​​participating in the bidding.

Oran and Leia remained silent, but the curiosity and surprise in their eyes were no less than those of the two girls.

Under the influence of Moran and several contacts with Qi Le, the two gradually changed their minds about the Blue Star population.However, facing everything in front of you, the impact is still beyond imagination.

Before setting off, they thought that what they saw would be a relatively primitive trading place, just like the temporary exchanges opened on the original star and the wild star, or the bazaar put together by pirates.

Everything in front of them broke their expectations.

There is no trading screen here, no intelligent system, and everything that an alliance exchange must have. The transaction scale is also in its infancy, but it is undeniable that there is a set of rules of its own here, and it is effective.

From the shops they just passed by, to the stalls opened on the roadside, to the "auction" on the metal platform, what they see in front of them has nothing to do with the original.

The population here is not lacking in wisdom. Given time, it may not be impossible to catch up with other planets in the alliance and keep pace with other intelligent populations.

"The barn owl shop has a new batch of mutated plants, I think you will be interested." Qi Le raised his head and said to the two teenagers.

"Mutated plants?"

"There are terrestrial species, and there are also those that grow underwater." Qi Le said, "There are also those collected from the sea, [-]% of which can be eaten directly."

"Fifty percent?" Oren asked strangely, "The rest?"

"They're all poisonous." Qi Le grinned.

poisonous?

The green girl looked over and said, "How poisonous is it?"

"It's very strong, that's all it takes," Qi Le gestured with his paws to the length of a knuckle, "It doesn't matter what kind of species eats it, if there is no antidote, it will die soon. There are two of them that will cause poisoning died in excruciating pain."

"Oh?" The green girl became more and more interested, "Take me to see, if the price is right, I want as much as I can."

Moran needs to take poisonous xenografts regularly, which will be converted into his own toxins and stored in the poison sac under his tongue.Qi Le's proposed xenoplantation aroused her great interest, if the effect is really so good, she wouldn't mind buying more.

Father Cat nodded, and walked down the air corridor first, leading the way for several people.

Thinking of Moran's hobbies, I can't help but feel a little regretful.

It's a pity that the green girl doesn't eat fungi, and any kind can't be imported.If not, the ostrich's poisonous mushroom would definitely be her first choice.

Mother Planet, Judgment Hall

After a long month, the trial is still not over.

As defendants, Hetty and Tristan, in order to get rid of the guilt, started to attack each other from the initial defense.In addition, the congressmen and fleet personnel who also wanted to get rid of the crime, bit each other, and presented strong evidence, involving a lot of shocking content.

More and more people were involved, the number of clerks in charge of recording doubled, and the number of clan members who participated in the audit reached an astonishing 570-[-].

At one point, the presiding judge announced the suspension of the trial, waiting for new evidence and witnesses.

As plaintiffs, Governor Lucas and Alecto are not as calm as they appear in the image.

Tristan exposed the First Clan during the trial, accusing the other party of developing inhibitory drugs for other races, which caused an uproar in the alliance.

As for which race the inhibitory potion was targeted at, the Tribunal strictly controlled the news, and there were many speculations from the outside world, and there was no definite conclusion yet.But as the trial continues, things will eventually become impossible to hide.

With the development of the situation, the secret was further unearthed, and Governor Sakya's complexion became more and more ugly.In order to avoid trouble, he gave up prosecuting the matter, but he never expected that the cover would be lifted by Tristan.

"Both the First Clan and the Third Clan are mobilizing their armed forces."

During the adjournment of the trial, several governors discussed with Siyar how to take action to minimize the impact.

"Destroy the source." Siyaer's suggestion is very simple, "I already have information that the R&D base of the First Clan is not on the home planet. You can directly mobilize the fleet and completely destroy it."

The research and development base is gone, all the data is destroyed, and all the people who have mastered the relevant technologies have disappeared. Even if the news is announced to the public, there is still enough time for the Constellation II population to face any threats from the outside world.

"This is tantamount to launching a war." Alektu said, "In this case, more fleets need to be mobilized."

"War?" Shiar laughed, "No, it's not the time for a full-scale war, I mean, we can destroy the research and development base of the first clan, and then push it to the third clan and pirates to speed up the trial process. "

Although he expected the trial process to be long, he was already a little impatient.

Sitting in the trial hall all day, there is only endless boredom and tedium, and the knees and palms feel empty.

He misses the feel of the hairball.

After hearing the almost crazy plan of Xi Yaer, several governors looked at Alecto in unison: Uncle or nephew, which one is more crazy?
