merit book

The octopus alien is really ashamed of his "alien" origin, and this period of time has been really miserable.After escaping from the train station, he has never encountered a time when the fortunes come and go, and managed to barely master some basic expressions of earthlings, but he has no money if he wants to eat, no ID card if he wants to stay, and he can’t see them when he walks on the road. Accidentally squeezed into others due to his size problem, and if he used a little more force, the fragile earthlings would be severely injured... Then, within three to five minutes of causing chaos, the nearby policemen would hold their batons and shout and run Over here, the octopus alien is always running away in a hurry because he is afraid of being caught and identifying his true identity.

Finally, he discovered that there is a kind of people on earth who are always ignored by everyone. No one asks their names and no one checks their documents. Sometimes they meet people who give them food and drinks. This kind of people is Homeless people can be seen everywhere in the streets.The octopus alien turned into a tramp, and he lived a very stable life. Except for being hungry most of the time, he was very satisfied with this identity.

But today, he was particularly lucky, unexpectedly, someone was willing to treat him to eat and drink with his belly open.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack..."

The octopus alien grabbed a freshly baked hot dog, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" bit off the upper third, then wriggled his cheeks twice, took two more bites and the hot dog disappeared.He threw the wrapping paper bag on the ground, took another one from the mobile food truck, and finished the hot dog in less than ten seconds.

Twenty or thirty packaging bags have been thrown on the ground, and it seems that he still has more than enough to eat.The long-faced young man selling hot dogs opened his mouth and looked at him dully, as if he had lost his ability to think.

Rong Yuan sat cross-legged on one side of the rest stool, holding a book in one hand, and a cup of hot coffee beside him. It looked like he was not sitting on the street but in a high-end coffee shop with the sound of the piano playing slowly.His eyes fell on the book, but he knew every move of the octopus alien.

According to his observations during this period, this octopus alien unexpectedly belongs to the type with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. It is a bit stupid, but it is not a bad guy.At first he looked like a ruthless killer who regarded human life as nothing, but after he realized how much harm his unrestrained strength would cause to human beings, he became more careful in his actions and began to avoid crowds as much as possible. Try not to do it when you are being hunted down.

——If he hadn't found out that he was such a guy, Rong Yuan wouldn't have come to see him so soon.It was really because he felt that he had to continue to observe, this guy might be able to starve himself to death here.

Finally, the last hot dog on the stand disappeared into the mouth of the homeless man. He searched helplessly, but found no extra food. He sighed regretfully and satisfied, then rubbed his stomach, and smiled with crappy nuts. Yu said to Rong Yuan: "Thank you, I'm full!"

Rong Yuan closed the book with a snap, put down the white porcelain cup with half of the coffee left, and paid the stall owner who was still sluggish.The exaggerated appetite of the octopus alien has attracted many people to watch, and he left with this stupid guy.

……

The weather was very cold, and there were almost no people around the square. There was still a thin layer of ice on the lake, and the damp and cold water vapor made no one willing to stay around.

Compared with the closed dark room, Rong Yuan prefers such an open environment when talking.He turned his head and looked at the alien who had been walking behind him without any doubt because he said "Let's go". At this time, he was tilting his head and staring at a sparrow on the treetop , looking at it, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the sparrow and stuffed it into his mouth.

Rong Yuan asked speechlessly: "Aren't you full?"

"Oh... I forgot." The octopus alien awkwardly let go of the sparrow in his hand. When the bird fluttered away, he still couldn't help but stared at its back reluctantly and licked his lips.

Rong Yuan decided to get to the point, he stroked the translation mask on his face, and said to the octopus alien: "How did you come to this planet?"

"Oh, I'm really unlucky." The octopus alien sighed: "The spaceship first hit a group of ghost eating insects, which destroyed the protective layer and detection system, and then hit a high-risk cosmic ray. , I didn’t know why I fell on this planet. Fortunately, this is a habitable star, if I accidentally fall on a star, I will die...Huh?"

He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized the problem. When Rong Yuan asked the question just now, it was not the native language of this planet at all, but the lingua franca of their planet!

"Ah... you, you are..." the octopus alien pointed at Rong Yuan and shouted loudly. After stuttering for a while, he jumped up happily, and the ground trembled twice. He circled around Tongue said: "You, are you also a monk?"

Rong Yuan didn't admit it or deny it, but said: "I had an accident while traveling through the wormhole, and I got here somehow. Do you have a route map from this planet to Biqiu?"

"Yes... But, I don't have it now." The octopus alien was in the middle of tears when he saw a fellow villager, and answered every question. He seemed to want a hug very much, but Rong Yuan's calmness made him feel overwhelmed. He has nowhere to sway his enthusiasm.

"What's going on?" Rong Yuan didn't take into account his feelings, and paid more attention to the direction of the road map.

"The star map is on the spaceship." The octopus alien said honestly, "When I landed, the spaceship fell into the sea."

——The common name is Star Map?

Rong Yuan nodded. He has precise records of the latitude and longitude where the octopus alien landed. The flow direction and speed of the seawater can also be modeled based on the data. It is not difficult to deduce the landing point of the spacecraft.Just how to use it, maybe with the help of this silly alien.

He said: "I will find a way to fish it up. But how did you make yourself like this? How long have you not had enough food?"

Speaking of this octopus alien with tears in his eyes, he said aggrievedly: "You can't blame me, the aborigines on this planet are too scary, violent and stingy, and people who obviously encounter difficulties in our place will directly Help, no matter what I do here, the people here will ask me for the common currency. If you are so weak and so arrogant, you will be killed if you accidentally kill it. With such a good disguise, he must have been trapped here for a long time, right?"

Looking at his watery little eyes full of sympathy, Rong Yuan glared at him, and said with a cold snort: "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

Not only was the octopus alien not annoyed when he heard the words, but he touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, yes. My teacher always said that I was too stupid to find a job after graduation. That's why I later became an interstellar explorer. What about you? What do you do?"

"Same as you." Rong Yuan said.

"Really?" The octopus alien became more intimate when he heard this. He couldn't help closing the distance between the two of them, and said happily: "You are smart at first glance, I thought you must be doing something wrong." Even more powerful work! Such as spaceship research and development! You look like it!"

"I like to explore. What's the point of spaceship research and development." Rong Yuan squinted at him and said, "My spaceship is still there. When I find the star map, do you want to leave with me?"

"Yes, yes!" the octopus alien nodded and said, "I've wanted to go back a long time ago, but I can't help it! The environment on this planet is too harsh, and no one can stay there!"

Rong Yuan, who has lived on this planet for 19 years, nodded and said: "That's right. By the way, do you know what planet this is? I don't think I have seen any relevant records before."

"Haha, you are asking the right person! The information on this planet is encrypted, and I only have the opportunity to see the information because I want to explore this star field. If it is another guy, I might not know it." Outside the octopus The starman said triumphantly: "This is the earth, but most people call it Shuilanxing...Have you heard of Shuilanxing?"

Rong Yuan thought about it seriously, shook his head and said: "It seems that I have heard of it before, but I don't know the specifics."

"Of course, this is a planet where development, exploration or tourism are prohibited by the interstellar laws! I heard that the natives on this planet have been trying to send out messages to get in touch with the Interstellar Alliance! It's a pity that they don't know, no matter what Whoever gets their information must hand it over and destroy it according to the regulations. Otherwise, the Peininglang Empire would have included such a weak planet in its territory long ago." The octopus alien seems to have completely forgotten who said this planet just now The planet is too scary, and he also forgot how embarrassed he was as a homeless man on such a weak planet, telling Rong Yuan what he knew as if he was showing off.

——Interstellar Law, Interstellar Alliance, Penninglang Empire.

It seems that the interstellar era is no different from the social system on Earth. There are also mutual restraints in the name of "law" between different regimes and powers.It's just that the Peininglang Empire, which seems to be the closest monarchy to the earth, has it always coveted this planet?And why is the earth protected by interstellar law?

While extracting the useful information revealed by the octopus alien's words, Rong Yuan kept it in his mind, and at the same time induced him to say more useful things.He saw that this alien was a bit good at being a teacher, so he sincerely asked: "Why? Is this planet not worth mining?"

"Well, not exactly. I heard that there are still some rare resources here, but the content is very small, and there is no value for special mining. Its biggest feature is that there are so many intelligent life forms, which far exceed the capacity of ordinary planets. , but this is of no use at all." The octopus alien curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"It's useless?" Rong Yuan asked, "How do you say it?"

"You didn't know it when you first came here. People on this planet are very, very weak! They are very easy to die!" The octopus alien used exaggerated expressions and tone to help express the degree of "specialness", and then he further explained to Rong Yuan Said: "The average life expectancy is not even one-fifth of ours, and the load-bearing capacity can only be compared to one-tenth of one of my tentacles. I can't run fast, and my jumping ability is also very poor. I don't drink water for a short period of time. Or you will die if you don’t eat, if the food you eat does not meet the carbon-based biological diet, you will die, if you breathe the wrong air ratio, you will die, if the pressure is greater, if you touch it with greater force, you will die, if the temperature is higher or lower They will also die, if they are exposed to vacuum or cosmic rays, they will die soon, if they fall into water, they will die in the blink of an eye, if they don’t have enough rest and sleep time, they will die, if they are too stressed or in a bad mood, they may die..." He talked about dozens of human beings' inconceivable death methods in one breath, then took a breath, and concluded: "So, this is a creature that is only suitable for living in a specific environment. If there is any idiot Taking a fancy to their huge population and wanting to export the natives of the earth as a labor force, he must first build a huge shield to shield all kinds of harmful rays in the universe, and then create an air with just the right proportion in the shield , adjust the temperature to a fixed range, provide them with specific food and a large amount of water every day, and only perform the most light work, and only work for a short time before resting, and create a pleasant environment for them. There cannot be any creatures that are more dangerous than level one. Before that, in order to transport the natives of the earth, his spaceship could not accelerate too fast, pass through wormholes, and not approach planets above R-level, otherwise the fragile bodies of the natives of the earth would be destroyed. Shredded... If you have the time, why not buy a few Tena beasts on Planet Turner, the labor force of one Turner beast can be equivalent to a hundred natives of the earth, and it can adapt to the environment of most habitable stars The requirements are also the simplest, as long as there is soil to eat."

Rong Yuan's expression was slightly stiff, he never thought that in the eyes of the creatures of the universe, the earthlings would be such... unworthy creatures.The human beings on the earth have always claimed to be the master of all things and the crystallization of the most advanced wisdom of the earth's creatures. As a result, are aliens not even qualified to be coolies?

This matter... To be honest, it is not entirely a bad thing, because it has no use value, so the possibility of "alien colonization" that human beings have been worrying about is very small.Think about it, if human beings find a planet in space with many cockroaches but no desired mineral resources, they probably have no interest in invading and colonizing.

However, as a person on Earth, although he thinks that what the octopus aliens said is all right, he still strives for the existence value of his own kind: "I have contacted it, and I feel that the natives of the earth are at least smart... Many ideas seem to be very funny."

——At least he is much smarter than the monk in front of him, right?

"That's right." The octopus alien nodded, and then commented condescendingly: "It's a pity that their lifespan is too short, and their intelligence is also far behind that of real intelligent species. If you go to the Star Alliance, wait until they put the foundation After all the knowledge has been learned, it is basically at the end of life, and there is no chance to invent and create something that is progressive. Moreover, the cost of cultivating a native of the earth is too high, and it is not worthwhile."

"In that case," Rong Yuan looked into the eyes of the octopus alien, and slowly asked, "Why is the development of this planet prohibited by the interstellar law, and even the Peininglang Empire dare not touch it?"

In the previous chapter, many relatives asked Rong Yuan why he didn’t spend all his merits before exchanging them, or he was afraid that Xiao Yuan’s merits would be wiped out or something. Yanqi said this very well, and I answered directly in her words——

[Because I spent all my merits to buy stones, and then it is impossible for some small things to lose merits and be obliterated, because black chess, white chess, skynet and so on, are bringing merits to Yuan Yuan every moment, and Even if one of them is wrong, there are more right ones and fewer wrong ones, so the merits and virtues are always increasing.

As for buying a lot first, and then spending single digits on stones, then I'm sure it's useless to buy stones.

Things like cultivating immortals pay attention to Taoism and spend everything, which is what I have now. If I have 2 merits, I will spend 2 merits, and if I have 2 million merits, I will spend 2 million merits. 】What kind of merit book exists, and how can such a big loophole be left for others to take advantage of?In life, there is not always the opportunity to exploit loopholes by opportunism. Sometimes, what is needed is the wisdom of the people.

PS: O(∩_∩)O haha~ Have you ever thought that my aliens and earthlings have this image?Aliens aren't necessarily bad and smart, this one is pretty normal.
