Infamous system

Chapter 25 The Old King

The voice of this electronically synthesized voice is very familiar, and the intonation and rhythm are exactly the same as Shen Bo's own speech. I don't know when Jian Chong recorded it.

Half a second later, the envelope unfolded, and a message box with a black background and a gold border was suspended in midair.

Slender, slender, white fingers slid a few times on the interface, and found that the background of the message box was the sleeping self.

In the photo, the collar of his pajamas was half open, exposing a collarbone, but the subject of the photo was not here.

The photographer seems to love the flawless face under the lens, and deliberately got very close when taking the photo, resulting in the thin and drooping eyelashes being photographed in every detail.

Regarding Jian Chong's private little hobbies, Shen Bo can only helplessly indulge them.

His earlobe was quietly stained with a blush, his eyes blinked uncomfortably, and then he just acted as if he didn't see it, and started to operate on the interface.

After confirming that the other party's identity is indeed as stated in the message, and not a visitor with malicious intentions, Shen Bo marked an open space on the planet under strict surveillance and agreed to the other party's landing there.

No one can take off the communicator for personal use unless the owner agrees to take it off.After Shen Bo took note of the other party's landing location, he covered Jian Chong again with the quilt, took a lamp and walked out the door.

Holding the lamp, Shen Bo walked out of the castle along the straight and empty corridor.

The sky is starless and moonless, like an opaque black cloth, covering the entire planet.The wind at night carried a biting chill, and a thick layer of hoarfrost formed on the grass and trees.

Shen Bo's body is full of energy, and he adapts well to the cold outdoor temperature.

Shen Bo slowly walked down the long steps in front of the castle gate, and when he was about to walk up the ancient stone bridge over the moat, he suddenly remembered his identity as everyone screaming and beating, so he turned back and took a white mask and put it on.

The masks of the interstellar era are highly developed and can cover up all the features of the head, including hair color and hairstyle.

The bright light on the other side of the river guides Shen Bo, and he walks quickly towards the spaceship that turns on all the lights.

The group of remnants got off the spaceship and didn't dare to act rashly. They pulled their clothes tightly, shrank their necks, and stood shivering in the cold wind.

Everyone looked at the towering and magnificent castle not far away, secretly guessing the identity of the owner of the planet.

After a while, I saw a faint light slowly drifting here in the distance.

A man with an impressive temperament and a tall figure appeared in their sight.The man's face was covered by a white mask, and other features of the head were blurred except for the color of the mask.

There are many big people who don't want to be known about their appearance. The survivors of the alien planet didn't find it strange. They crossed their arms on their chests, bowed their heads, and gave a special salute to the coming man. .

The level of this meeting ceremony is the highest on Gliese Star, and it is generally used for civilians to meet the top leaders of the Federation.

Shen Bo lowered his head slightly as a return gift.

"Excuse me, my lord, are you the master of this planet?" The man who spoke was standing in the front, with a long and thin scar on his neck, his voice was full of vicissitudes of life, and there was a hint of hoarseness.

Shen Bo heard that this man was the one who sent the message for help. He didn't answer the question raised by the man with the scar directly, but just told the group of survivors that they could live on this planet.

Before Shen Bo came, he checked the situation of the entire planet, and found that there were only two people on the planet, Jian Chong and himself.

Habitable planets are generally as big as the earth, more than enough to accommodate a group of survivors.

But the faces of this group of people did not find the happy look of the settlement. The woman holding the child even hugged her child tightly, with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know what reward my lord wants?" The man with the scar had a bitter expression on his face. He sighed, as if accepting his fate, and reported all the money owned by his group of people to Shen Bo.

"Remuneration? Are you talking about the rent?" Shen Bo thought that the group in front of him was strong and would not take advantage of him, so he casually said a series of figures.

"That's all you need, sir?" Someone in the group behind the scarred man exclaimed in disbelief.

But this leading man has experienced a lot after all, he knows that there is no pie in the sky, and there may be other plans for the person who is inexplicably fond of you.

The man with the scar looked calm, his eyes swept over the thin woman and child behind him, and said in a decisive tone: "We can't provide any extra services for adults, please charge the rent at the normal price."

Shen Bo followed the scarred man's gaze and looked at the yellow and thin woman and child. Although he understood the meaning of the scarred man's "extra service", Shen Bo never liked to waste his feelings on things he was not interested in. .

"What's the normal price?" Shen Bo was a little impatient, he pushed the mask and asked in a casual tone.

There was a flash of struggle on the scarred man's face, and he opened his mouth to announce a series of prices charged by the day and by the number of people.

"Why is it so expensive?" Shen Bo twirled his perfectly lined chin with his fingers, his tone surprised.

The one-day rent quoted by the man with the scar is equivalent to what Jian Chong paid for the small apartment on Night Falcon Star. Although Shen Bo is not very clear about the prices in the interstellar era, he also knows that it is a sky-high price.

The man with the scar originally thought that he would meet those rich and powerful who like to play with women and children again, but the reaction of the adult in front of him was obviously not what he thought.

It seems that this adult doesn't know that a large number of livable stars are now frozen, housing prices are soaring, and even rich people can't find a place to live.

Only then did the man with the scar begin to observe seriously. The man with the white mask in front of him, the man with the scar noticed the gold-rimmed obsidian cufflinks on his cuffs, and was a little surprised: Isn’t this the iconic color scheme of the former empire?It's hard to see in today's federation.

The man with the scar pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively: "My lord, do you know the residence restriction order issued by the Federation?"

"Residence restriction order?" Shen Bo frowned, not quite understanding what the scarred man meant.

The man with the scar saw that the adult seemed to be really unclear about the current situation of the Milky Way, so he patiently explained:

"Due to unknown reasons, the energy of the stars in the universe has been reduced by half compared to before, making many stars become dead stars, and most habitable stars for human beings are also frozen due to the loss of the light of the stars."

He paused, nostalgia for his hometown flashed in his eyes, and continued: "The livable planet is frozen, forcing us aborigines to leave the planet where we have lived for generations and wander among the stars. But the supplies will run out one day, Always find a place to live."

The scarred man said, with a hint of indignation on his calm face, he could not help but clenched his hands, and said in a deep voice: "But the high-level federal officials don't care about the life and death of us civilians, they issued the so-called residence restriction order, allowing the powerful to control All the remaining habitable stars. If civilians with no power or power want to live in them, they must pay high rents."

The scarred man glanced at the women and children behind him, with a look of sadness on his face, and said painfully: "If you can't pay the rent, you have to pay for beautiful men and women, including good-looking children."

"If your lord is willing to take us in, we are willing to restore the empire for your lord, and charge forward!" The scarred man stared at the imperial logo on his thin cuff, his heart slumped, and he fell to his knees.

He seemed to have a lot of weight in this group of people, and the remaining 200 people saw him kneeling down, and they also knelt down.
