King of the Stars [Rebirth]

Yan Beichen felt that he was floating, not the kind of floating in the water where gravity and buoyancy struggled, but the complete weightlessness of the universe.Around him, there is no power to rely on, the whole world is in darkness, and all his consciousness, all perception, can only return to his own body.

This is a very wonderful state, the body is extremely relaxed, but the mind is more focused and sharp than during meditation.It's like two very different feelings have been blended together.Gradually, he discovered that two forces appeared in his body, one hovering in the brain and the other in the lower abdomen.As soon as these two forces appeared, they began to rotate on their own, attracting each other, but repelling each other, like some kind of complicated celestial body movement...

The moment the word comes out.Yan Beichen saw the light.Two clusters of light.

In his body, there are two obvious clusters of light that are moving, like newly born galaxies, and the elegant spiral arms scatter stardust as they rotate.At the same time, they are also influencing each other and entangled with each other, just like the countless binary star systems in the universe, they are harmonious and unified, just like a whole.And it is the body that restrains them, controls them, and shares them.Yan Beichen suddenly woke up from this wonderful spectacle.Yes, this is his own body.If the light from the lower abdomen represents the sea of ​​air, what does the light from the top of the head represent?Is it the core of spiritual power storage?Will this delicate balance be interrupted, and what impact will it have on his body?

Everything seemed like the strangest of mysteries.Yan Beichen couldn't help but want to stretch out his fingers to touch the falling stardust, but just as he moved his fingertips, a voice appeared beside his ears.

"We have arrived."

Where are you?The sound pierced the flood of consciousness and dragged him out of that wondrous world.He opened his eyes.A reddish-brown planet appeared in front of him.Its diameter is not very large, but on the short star path, countless spaceships shuttle through it, either sailing into the spaceport, or moving to start the voyage again, with a staggering busyness and prosperity.

They have passed through the meteor belt?How long has he been asleep?Yan Beichen turned his head involuntarily and looked at the young man beside him.It may be that he has been controlling the fighter plane for a long time, but the opponent's expression is a little tired, but the smile on his face does not change: "Are you awake? Well, there is Macquarie in front."

The over-prosperous planet in front of them is exactly the destination of their trip, the Free Star Macarthur.Although the same name is "Freedom", it is different from the distant Freedom Star Alliance. This is the world of pirates and black market merchants, and it is also a complete trading planet.As long as the rules are followed, any sale or transaction can be completed here.This is a paradise for adventurers and a paradise for speculators.It is not very safe, but it is the only destination that their antique plane can reach.

Perhaps infected by the other party's smile, Yan Beichen withdrew his gaze, and also looked at the planet. With just one glance, he suddenly remembered something: "Wait, how are we going to land?"

Any inhabited planet will have a special area outside the atmosphere and set up a space airport. Those spacecraft that need to load and unload cargo, refuel, and conduct ground transactions must enter the airport to park.This is the only way to avoid smuggling and collecting tariffs, and the passage to the ground is also set within the airport.Even if it is a real free port, it is necessary to supervise these incoming ships to avoid unexpected problems caused by wanton landing.

They don't have a spaceship, no identity chip, and no money. How can they pass through the airport and reach the ground?

As if waiting for this sentence, Griffin smiled slyly: "Look at mine."

The antique plane moved in response to the sound, and got into the spaceship's starway without a sound.Most of the ships here are for trade, and the smallest is a light transport ship over 100 meters. Compared with those behemoths, the fighter plane is like a sparrow that gets into a flock of wild geese. shuttle.

What is this for?Yan Beichen narrowed his eyes, and found the clue after a while.The angle Griffin chose was too tricky, cleverly avoiding the observation deck and rear-view scanner of the spacecraft every time.You must know that when the spacecraft enters the airport, most of the weapons and defense systems will be turned off. It is all based on these two places to locate the front and rear spacecraft to avoid collision accidents.As long as it avoids the monitoring, this fighter plane will become a ghost and disappear out of everyone's sight.

After a few ingenious interludes, Griffin pushed the control lever, and the fighter plane smoothly slid under a medium-sized spacecraft that was about to enter the airport, clinging to the opponent's belly.The fighter plane shut down all the systems in an instant, and no longer used any micro-controls, and moved synchronously with the spaceship entirely by inertia.Such a flame-out small fighter will be recognized as an accessory module of the spacecraft by the airport system, and it will not be taken seriously at all.Just keeping hovering like this, it slid into the gate of the airport bit by bit.

The belly of the spaceship is the warehouse part, as long as it enters its berth, it will be opened first to load and unload the cargo.Anyone would have seen the "entrained" fighter plane at a glance, so before the opponent stopped, Griffin turned on the power system of the fighter plane again, turned the fuselage, and flew out calmly, swaggeringly following the first team Behind the landing craft headed for the surface, enter the channel.

All of this was done naturally, as if he had done it countless times.Yan Beichen raised his eyebrows: "Have you been to Macquarie?"

Griffin leaned back in his chair leisurely and whistled: "Of course not. What? Do you admire me?"

Yan Beichen didn't pay attention to his bragging. To be honest, he is a bit confused about the real identity of this kid now.You know, Griffin is a knight, and judging from the operation skills of crossing the meteorite belt before, he is by no means the kind of apprentice knight who just passed the knight exam. Has a very high talent.The knight level may even exceed the elementary level and reach the intermediate level.But how old is he?At most it is about 18 years old.It is impossible for such a person to have no inheritance!

Yan Beichen himself is a typical example. If he hadn't been born in an ancient martial arts family in his previous life, he would never have reached the S level of physical arts at the age of 18, and it would be impossible for him to become a top knight of the Freedom Star Alliance before the age of 22.In addition to talent, his net worth, his experience, and even the resources in his hands made him achieve those extraordinary achievements.And Griffin?This kid was not from an ancient martial arts family, and he didn't have the qualities that a warrior should have. On the contrary, he was too smooth and knew too many things that should not be understood at this age.

He doesn't look like a warrior, nor does he look like an aristocrat. As a viviparous child, he doesn't even look like a pirate.Yan Beichen had never seen such a person before, and it was also rare for him to be a little curious about what kind of growth experience shaped such a weird guy.

Because of the protection of the channel, the landing was very smooth.In just half an hour, the fighter plane landed on the ground.This should be the outskirts of a certain city, with a large area of ​​vegetation, which is very suitable for fighter planes to hide.After the engine stopped, Griffin turned his head and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Now, what are you going to do?"

They had already escaped from the Poseidon, and even wiped out the enemies they were following.No longer enslaved, no existential crisis, what bound them together is now gone.The trading planet was equally foreign to both of them, but neither of them was clearly the type to survive on their own.

Of course Yan Beichen also thought of this, frowned slightly, and said, "I need a spaceship."

"Spaceship? Space travel?" Griffin's eyes lit up. "You know what? I'm a very good helmsman, and I can also serve as a navigator. Of course, the captain is fine."

Now that he has come to this planet, Yan Beichen has no plans to take another spacecraft.There are too many dangers and too many variables, so starting alone is his intended goal.However, the man's eyes were so bright, so bright that he hesitated for a moment.What he was going on was an adventure, the kind that could really risk his life, and it was obviously safer to have a companion.But at the same time, there are too many secrets on him, and what he is going to is also a place that needs to be kept absolutely secret. If his companion is not so reliable, it will be a devastating disaster.He has known this kid in front of him for less than two weeks, can he take him with him?

Griffin's observation skills are obviously excellent, and he can see it just after a momentary pause.Smiling slightly, he raised his hands innocently: "Okay, okay. What I need is also a chance to leave. It is of course best to have my own spaceship. But, we must have money first? If our short-term goal If they agree, why not make the money together?"

What they are talking about is a spaceship. Even the smallest second-hand spaceship costs tens of thousands of dollars.This is not a small sum.If you add the necessary equipment and round-trip fuel, it will be a headache.This is something that cannot be avoided no matter what.And without an identity chip, it is not very easy to work part-time.How to save money as soon as possible is indeed a big problem.

After a few seconds, Yan Beichen finally nodded: "Do you have any plans?"

In this regard, the young man on the opposite side should be more experienced than him.Sure enough, Griffin laughed immediately: "Don't tell me, I really have a plan. But first, we have to get rid of this old antique, and this..."

Like a magic trick, he took something out of his pocket.It was a dark, fist-sized ball with lightly etched patterns engraved on it.

Yan Beichen raised his eyebrows: "Heavy nuclear? Did you get it?"

Although it is only the lowest-level central control core, the heavy core is finally a kind of induction metal, which can be worth some money.

Griffin proudly tossed the heavy core in his hand: "It's not easy to hide such a thing. Now, let's get some start-up funds!"

After spending the whole afternoon, they finally sold two things.The fighter is really worthless, the model is old, the performance is worrying, the interior is full of patchwork parts, and it has gone through a horrific chase. It is lucky that it does not fall apart.However, Griffin still paid a high price for this thing with his penetrating tongue.Including the heavy core, 1200 bang yuan fell into the pockets of the two.

And a short-term shelter and daily necessities cost all the odds in one go.When the two moved into the simple rental house not much larger than a single room, they only had 1000 bang yuan left on them.

"That's a good start." Griffin came out of the bathroom covered in steam. Instead of being depressed, Griffin was a little excited. "Tomorrow, let's go to the underground arena to try our luck. A knight and a soldier , we should be able to win something from there."

Yan Beichen moved a little to the other side of the bed to free up some space—of course it is impossible to provide a double bed in such a crappy room—and asked casually, "Your plan is to fight with mechas?"

"Otherwise? This is the fastest way to get money. It's a pity that we don't have our own mechs. I hope that some of the rags they provide can be used..." Griffin fell down on the bed unceremoniously. , groaned, "Damn, I've been floating in the universe for too long, and I can't get used to such a hard bed that doesn't feel wobbly at all..."

His tone didn't seem dissatisfied at all.Yan Beichen raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes moved down, landing on the bed sheet beside him.There is a necklace that is not too long, and there is an oval pendant hanging on it, with a copper shell and a hollowed-out pattern, the shape is quite retro.According to common sense, there should be a holographic photo inside.It's just that this chain has never been seen on the ship before, is it something he hid?

As if suddenly remembering something, Griffin suddenly sat up again, scratching his wet hair: "By the way, I almost forgot. Come on, this thing has to be pasted first."

He picked up the necklace, opened the lid of the pendant, and took out two small patches from inside.Yan Beichen blinked involuntarily, and asked in surprise, "Identity chip?"

"It's a fake chip." Griffin smiled smugly. "I can't connect to the star network, and I don't have basic information, but it looks very realistic. If you paste it, those people won't ask questions."

Indeed, this is a trading planet after all, and no one will check their identity or trade through the star network.There are even many people who deliberately avoid revealing their information.With such a disguise, many things will be much more convenient.It's just...he didn't expect such a flashy thing to exist.

Shaking his head, Yan Beichen didn't resist, and lowered his head, letting the other party stick the small electronic chip on his neck.After putting it on for him, Griffin put the other piece on the back of his neck with his backhand. The movement is very skillful, and he has obviously used it many times.After making sure everything was done, he put on the necklace and fell back on the bed as if he had pulled out a bone. The pendant bounced lightly on his bare chest, which was very noticeable.

As if seeing Yan Beichen's gaze, Griffin laughed: "Oh, I hid it before, lest those bastards snatch it away. My mother left it to me."

Relic?Yan Beichen read the meaning behind this sentence.Griffin didn't mean to talk too much. He rolled halfway on the bed and turned his body sideways: "Okay, go to sleep. Tomorrow, we're going to find the biggest underground arena. We don't have much money left... ..."

Yan Beichen didn't ask any further questions, and just lay down.This bed was too narrow, the backs of the two were almost touching together, the same warmth, the same damp with a little water vapor.This should have been an annoying touch, but Yan Beichen didn't feel uncomfortable.

This is a companion that delivers on the back.

Soon, the breathing of both of them stabilized and they fell into a deep sleep.
