my son billions

When he got up the next day, Xu Chu asked the little worms to search around the Quake Village when he went out, but in the end they couldn't find anything.

Xu Chu guessed that boo boo might be more ominous than good, but he still couldn't figure it out. It was said on the Internet that this kind of domestic pet that usually doesn't go out of the house under special circumstances, why did it disappear at home?

"If it's gone, it's gone," Oliver the mechanical spider said nonchalantly while licking his forelimb, "Isn't it just a pet? You're so busy now, how can you have time to take care of it? It's better if you don't have it. "

Xu Chu was too lazy to talk to Oliver when he heard the words. The other party's three views on some things made him understand that the other party was not a person or creature with whom he could discuss such things.

"I think you have the energy, why don't you take a look at the data recently sorted out by the lovely excavator No. 8. I think you should be able to find a big surprise."

Xu Chu knew that Oliver would not make false claims, but he was a little worried that the other party's so-called "surprise" had other intentions, so he hurried to the central square.

The current Quake Village is said to be a village, but it is actually more like a small town.After Xu Chu had a little more money, he made a small renovation of Quick Village.Small buildings are built around the central square, and other buildings are extended to the surroundings in turn.

The shanty houses of the past have long disappeared, and what reappeared before the eyes of the world are small buildings, offices with bright windows and huge warehouses concentrated on one side.

As Xu Chu walked, he checked the data in the simple optical brain of the communicator in his hand.When he came to the office built around the square, he had already discovered this surprise.

"Why did the amount of ore purchases suddenly increase?" Xu Chu asked in surprise and joy, "Didn't the abandoned mine just start digging?"

Oliver looked back and forth subconsciously, and then climbed up Xu Chu's trouser legs to his shoulder, and said lazily: "You don't only have those abandoned robots as labor, if you say that the best at exploiting, it is not human." belongs to."

Oliver pointed out the window while talking and said: "You liberated some s-2 mining robots, and many people lost the opportunity to get something for nothing. But some people will never be content with using their hands to get the fruits of labor."

Seeing this, Xu Chu went to the window and looked down, and found that there seemed to be more people commuting to and from the central square than before.He turned his head to look at Oliver, only to see him lightly hitting the window sill with his forelimb, and then said to him with a smile on his face: "The problems we can't solve have already been solved for us."

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Chu asked in confusion.

"Accordingly, due to the loss of some of the s-2 robots, the amount of ore that humans can dig here should decrease, but in fact it has increased. What do you think is the reason?"

Then he continued without waiting for Xu Chu's answer, "Then it's obviously because they have more labor on hand."

Oliver said, raised his head and looked at Xu Chu, "Where do you think this labor force comes from?"

Xu Chuwen blinked his eyes, and then said in a daze, "You mean outside the wall—"

"There will always be people who, when pushed to the limit, will break the rules in order to survive." Oliver said implicitly.

Xu Chuwenyan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Oliver thoughtfully, but then he didn't continue the sentence, but said, "How is the situation in other areas outside the wall? Is it already bad?"

Oliver frowned when he heard the words, "Those mining companies are not big fools. Who will take over such a mess? In some areas, the original mining companies have come back to mine. That's not a big problem. They will even come from the surrounding areas. Centrally transferred to hire absenteeism. As long as the regional office agrees, it is not impossible."

"But as we guessed, a large part of the ore in many mining areas was consumed by those d732s, so many mines were abandoned, leaving a mess, but no one cleaned it up."

"Now that the price of nutrient solution is soaring outside, the miners have only a few credits left. Besides, the soil is polluted by waste and cannot be planted. The so-called government assistance only covers a small area at best. That Greedy Rupert, now I am afraid that he still has a big dream of attracting mining companies to wipe his ass."

"And in those mining areas, there is no such thing as cannibalism."

Xu Chu couldn't help being startled when he heard this.He didn't expect the situation outside to be so bad, no wonder someone broke through the government's isolation to make deals with the miners in 313.

"It's not an option to go on like this," Xu Chu said with a frown, "It's impossible for me to have enough food on hand to supply them."

Oliver couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, "How could you have such a stupid idea? Who are you to support them? What do we do to support them, just use this environment to make a lot of money? Their life and death What does it have to do with us?"

Xu Chu's breath was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't refute.

"However—" Oliver seemed to enjoy keeping Xu Chu speechless, and after appreciating it for a while, he continued with a happy face, "We can use this to make the purchase of the ore a secret." Turn it out, and get the right to dispose of waste on Moore."

"As long as you are willing to sacrifice a little hue—"

While Oliver was talking, the mechanical claw lightly tapped Xu Chu's communicator, and then a communication number jumped out of the communicator.It was a number he had never dialed, and it belonged to Fandral's original patron, one of the three girls.

"Josephine Clark, the youngest daughter of the Clark family. Her father, Brook Clark, is the Deputy Minister of Planetary Resources of the Alliance, in charge of resources and environmental issues in the area under the jurisdiction of the Alliance."

Oliver turned to look at Xu Chu while talking.

Regarding the plan proposed by Oliver afterwards, Xu Chu hesitated again and again, but failed to make a decision.

Oliver couldn't understand this, "It won't affect them much, why do you hesitate?"

Because I still have that damn stupid morality that shouldn't exist!

To Xu Chu, those three girls were almost the benefactors who saved the entire Kuipengla.But now he wants to use them to achieve his own goals.

It is difficult for him to cross this psychological barrier.Even if this plan may not have much impact on them.

While he was hesitating, more and more people from other areas were forced to take huge risks to cross the isolation zone to buy food in area 313.

At the same time that Xu Chu collected more and more ores, this kind of secret mining and private sale of a large number of ores finally broke out.

Rupert was almost furious when he learned about it, and immediately ordered the closure of all companies involved in the matter, and issued huge fines to all miners who stole the mine.

For Xu Chu, the impact of this incident is only that the amount of ore entering his hand has decreased.And for those who barely survive by stealing mines, all this is nothing more than a thunderbolt, instantly shattering their entire existing life.

When news about the pursuit, punishment, resistance, suppression and related information was delivered to Xu Chu, Xu Chu even seemed to be able to smell the bloody blood behind him through the information.

In the end, he still had to make a decision.

After telling Fandral and No. 3 about the matter on Moore, and asking them to carefully listen to Oliver's advice, Xu Chu took No. 7, Xiaolu, and Xiaoye on the spaceship and headed for the capital planet.

It took more than half a month before Xu Chu arrived at his destination.The moment he got off the spaceship, a piece of news about the Great Depression in a remote ore planet was pushed out on his communication computer.

In this message, it only described the previous sudden insect swarm and the local economy that suffered a huge blow from it.Compared with what he saw before, the familiarity about the tragic life of the people is far from clear and detailed.

"Prices are high, incomes are low, and many people are living on the streets with no one to depend on, and the government is doing nothing."

But just such a report has already aroused the attention of the capital star, and it is said that the capital government is organizing an investigation team and will soon go to Mormo.

After reading the information, Xu Chu turned off the push button without even having time to look at the most prosperous planet in the entire alliance, so he went to the meeting place agreed in advance with Josephine.

It was a top-floor sky restaurant located in a corner of the bustling city center. Xu Chu got off the floating car and landed on the 113th floor of this skyscraper.Then, under the guidance of the service staff, he took a helicopter to the 189th floor on the top floor.

Since the building floors in this area are all high and closely arranged, only the top fifty or so floors have the sunlight intensity reaching the normal daytime brightness.Below these floors, even during the day, the building needs lighting.

However, in this top-floor sky restaurant, in order to create a comfortable and quiet environment, the restaurant is designed with a lot of interior decorations and plants, etc., to block part of the starlight from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, and not very bright indoors. The glowing lights are used as lighting to create an atmosphere.

And when Xu Chu arrived at this restaurant, he found that there were not many people here, but everyone seemed to be different from the hurried people outside, and seemed to have a lot of time to enjoy life.

Guided by human attendants to the agreed table, what Xu Chu saw was a group of three young girls.

Perhaps because of the hesitation on Xu Chu's face, one of the girls with light brown hair spoke first, "Hi, I'm Josephine, are you Mr. Xu Chuxu?"

Seeing this, Xu Chu quickly nodded and said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm late."

As he spoke, he took out No. 7, who was drowsily asleep, and Xiao Lu, who was surrounded by No. 7's wings, but opened a pair of green eyes, and was extremely sober.

He put the two furry little things on the table, then looked at the three girls present with a smile, and forgot his existence in an instant, and gathered around the table, observing the two girls who had been there with surprise. The little things that made them shed many tears.

"My God! It's really still alive!" Josephine said, reaching out her hand to touch No. 7, but then she hesitated and withdrew her hand, just bent over and observed carefully.

The shy Beverly hid beside Josephine, not even daring to stretch out her hand.

The short-haired girl Joan nodded at the waiter at this time, then took the food handed over by the waiter, picked up a small piece of meat from the plate, and handed it to No. 7's mouth.

No. 7 fell into a drowsy sleep all the way, opened his eyes and saw the food near his mouth, and took it into his mouth without thinking.

He chewed a few bites, and it was a moment before he became aware of the three strangers surrounded him.He opened his two dark bean eyes wide, subconsciously grabbed the little green beside him, then turned around and pouted his buttocks, turned his back to them and began to eat happily.

The girl who had watched those videos countless times before was obviously very familiar with the action of No. 7, and then she couldn't help sighing in satisfaction, and Josephine, who was the most emotional, even blushed.

Then she raised her head and said to Xu Chu: "Thank you, thank you for investing in the repair of this camera. We didn't think of it."

Xu Chu shook his head when he heard the words, but looked at the three girls in front of him tenderly.

Fandral introduced him to the three girls as a well-meaning funder.In the communication before he came, Fandral offered to let these three girls meet No. 7, thus attracting him as the investor.

"I heard that you want to participate in the resource and environment balance discussion conference in two days' time," Josephine asked while recalling the information provided by Fandral.

"Yes," Xu Chu nodded with a smile, "Unfortunately, the invitation letter of the conference is too precious, so I didn't get it. At that time, I can only go outside the conference venue to have a look at the participating environmental experts, as well as the publications If I have passed the thesis "On the Contradiction and Balance Between Development and Environment" Mr. Clark, then my trip is already complete enough."

Josephine heard this, but before she could react, Joan beside her had already glanced at Xu Chu sensitively.

Then Josephine blinked and smiled at Xu Chu, but didn't say much.

Before going back in the afternoon, the girls were able to hold it in the palm of their hands with No. 7's acquiescence, and gently combed its feathers.

In terms of cuteness, No. 7 is better than Xiaolu.His big appetite allows him to refuse all the food that comes to him. While eating delicious food that he has never eaten before, he can keep rolling and acting like a baby in the other's hand, and let the other party comb his feathers. She even tilted her two thin legs shamelessly, and didn't mind showing even the most secret place.

Even Xu Chu was amazed at how shameless No. 7 was.

He just sat by the side all afternoon, smiling and watching No. 7 rolling and acting cute in front of the three girls.During the period, No. 7 still didn't forget to paw and pull Xiaolu from time to time, so that the other party had to barely stand within his reach all the time, and then turned his head and stretched his wings, showing off to the girls that he didn't have many. Feathers that are slightly more colored than other feathers that are dusty.

Judging by the way he attracts bees and butterflies, he doesn't know whose genes he inherited.

When they went back at night, the three girls were a little bit reluctant.Especially Josephine, who looked at Xu Chu hesitantly for a long time, but finally left without saying anything.

But when they got into the car, Joan spoke first, "Obviously, the purpose of this Mr. Xu coming to see us is not pure."

Josephine knew what Joan was talking about, "but he didn't say anything after that."

"Anyway, you already know what he wants, and it's not like he can influence your decision by talking too much." While talking, Joan posted the photo she just took on Guangwang, "I don't think you It is necessary to help him. The discussion conference is a hidden high-end investment promotion platform. A person like him who is almost poor and white can't get any resources. Besides, he also mentioned your father. This person has a lot of plans. "

Josephine knew that Joan was right, but when she thought of the gentle look in the man's eyes looking at them, she couldn't help but be shaken.The other party revealed his intentions as soon as he opened his mouth, but there was no utilitarianism in the gentle eyes after that.

Growing up in their environment, they are actually very sensitive to the words and deeds of the people around them.So as soon as the other party spoke, Joan was aware of the other party's request.But during this afternoon of getting along, she also felt something different.

Sensing her friend's wavering, Joan frowned slightly, "Josephine?"

Josephine turned her head and smiled at Joan, and said, "It's okay Joan, it's just a small matter, and it won't matter if you help him."

Joan wanted to persuade her again, but Beverly, who was still silent, held her hand lightly, and shook her head unobtrusively.

It wasn't until the three of them went home that Joan complained to Beverly in the optical brain video: "Why don't you let me persuade Josephine again, that man's intentions are obviously impure, how could Josephine just take the bait like this? "

Beverly in the video has a helpless expression on her face, "The more you persuade her, the more determined she will be."

And even she had to sigh, although the other party's purpose of approaching them was so utilitarian, but the subsequent behavior was not offensive at all, "We just need to keep an eye on Josephine and don't let her continue to contact this man. As for Discussion conference is nothing more than an invitation letter, it is not important."

But in fact, what Josephine got for Xu Chu was not just an invitation letter.

At this time, Xu Chu was in the hotel, arguing with Oliver who came uninvited, "Didn't I tell you to stay in Moore? How did you come here?"

Even Capital Star's strict entry procedures did not find this weird spider, Xu Chu complained quite a headache.

"There is no place for me anymore. The people in the regional office are so easy to deal with. The governor's order is carried out on the enterprise and put it down gently. We pay taxes beautifully. Even those in 313 The abandoned mining area has not been strictly searched, and the farms are still collecting ore." The mechanical spider said while pulling it into Xu Chu's suitcase.

Seeing this, Xu Chu rolled his eyes, and asked while taking off his clothes, "What are you looking for?"

"Where are the fruit slices? The kind of Quipengla fruit slices?" Oliver continued to search for it.

"It's all over, what are you doing? Can I take this with me when I go out?" Xu Chu said helplessly.

Most of the fruit slices that were meant to make a fortune ended up in the mouths of a few little things, and then Oliver came and fell in love with the snacks too, but that was the last bit.

"What? Finished eating??" Oliver looked up from the pile of clothes like a bolt from the blue, and then saw Xu Chu who was taking off his pants, and Xiao Yezi who looked over coldly.

"Ah—" Oliver screamed suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Xu Chu was taken aback, and hurried forward to ask with his trousers waist up.

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't come here! I—my eyes! Ah! The light was too strong just now, I was blind and didn't see anything! I, I, I——I'm leaving first!" He said As if he had completely forgotten that he was a spider, he crawled across like a crab and quickly disappeared before Xu Chu's eyes.

Xu Chu was puzzled for a while, but then he shook his head, picked up the little leaf and went in to take a bath.

For the innocent little leaf, this is an indescribable scene.Then Xu Chu, who was naked after taking a shower, put the same wet little leaf on his neck, walked out carelessly, and lay down comfortably on the bed.

But then he remembered his performance this afternoon, and couldn't help sighing again.

He is really not suitable for this kind of thing, it seems that he will have to think of other ways tomorrow.

But the next day, he received an electronic invitation letter on his communicator.
