Chapter 1: Letters from afar(1/2)
Noah's Galaxy, Edin Star, Vitkari City.
The weather was perfect, and the sea water was turquoise and clear under the bright sunshine. Several seabirds quickly skimmed the water and stopped on the cliffs by the sea. They gently pecked their beautiful feathers and occasionally called a few times to show their presence to the world.
.
A small aircraft flew through the sky and stopped on the tarmac in front of a seaside villa. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with meticulously combed hair stepped out of the aircraft and looked gently at the villa not far away.
He frowned.
He walked forward, stopped at the door of the villa, and connected the personal terminal on his wrist to the villa's smart phone.
After a while, a sweet female voice sounded: "Welcome, Mr. Warren, the master has received your visit message. Please go to the tea room and sit for a while. The master will be here soon."
With a serious look on his face, Mr. Warren walked into the villa and followed the intelligent guidance of the villa to the tea room. He took a sip of the tea delivered by the housekeeping robot and placed it on the table.
This wasn't the first time he'd come to visit the lonely mechanic, but it was probably the last.
His boss said that if the invitation was unsuccessful this time, there would be no need to invite him again.
To be honest, Mr. Warren has quite some criticisms of this mechanic, because although she has some talents, she is far from being a gifted person. He doesn’t know why the head of the family has repeatedly issued orders to invite this mechanic to join them.
Yes, many times, because every time her answer was no!
"A proud little guy..."
Mr. Warren grunted inwardly with dissatisfaction, but good etiquette prevented him from showing it at all.
Five minutes later, the owner of this villa arrived late.
"Ms. Lin, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting." Mr. Warren stood up and said politely.
His visit was a sudden decision made by the family head, and there was no prior agreement with Lin Shu.
Lin Shu is a woman in her forties, who is barely an adult at this age among the common people. She has a plain appearance, is unsmiling, and carries the usual calmness and stubbornness of a mechanic. She does not look like a person who is easy to talk to.
"It doesn't matter."
Regarding Mr. Warren's apology, she just said three words dryly, and then went straight to the point, "What's the matter with your sudden visit?"
Warren had dealt with her many times and understood this person's character. He said simply: "It's still the same matter. The head of the family hopes that you can consider it again. As far as I know, your current source of income is mainly from the Star Network.
, although it is free and convenient, I am afraid it will take a long time to save enough tuition for the fourth-level mechanic training class. If you join the Potter family, the head of the family will definitely prepare a series of follow-up study plans for you because of the importance he attaches to you..."
He talked endlessly and eloquently. In fact, he had said these words many times in the past, but never once did he convince Lin Shu.
Lin Shu's expression was very serious, and he didn't look disapproving or perfunctory just because she knew all the words by heart, which comforted Warren a little.
Warren talked about some new "benefits", but Lin Shu was not interested. He waited until he finished speaking before replying: "Thank you for the invitation. In fact, due to some personal reasons, I will leave Edin Star in the near future.
, I cannot accept your family master’s kind wishes.”
Hearing this answer, Warren was a little stunned. This was the first time he heard that Lin Shu was leaving.
"I would like to ask, where do you plan to go?" Warren was a little curious, "Is it the Ziwei Galaxy?"
The Ziwei Galaxy is the third-ranked super galaxy in the entire Zhongzhou Star Region. It has many universities and professional scientific research institutions, and is also well-known in the entire Galaxy Alliance.
Lin Shu smiled slightly and shook his head, "No, I want to leave the Zhongzhou Star Territory for a while."
Leave the Zhongzhou Star Territory!
Warren became even more curious, but his upbringing did not allow him to continue asking about other people's privacy, so he could only say regretfully: "Then I hope you have a pleasant journey and everything goes well."
Lin Shu nodded, "Thank you."
The invitation failed again, and Warren sighed in his heart. He felt a little sorry for Lin Shu.
The Potter family is the largest family on Edin. Although it is nothing in the entire Galaxy Alliance, it is much stronger than ordinary interstellar citizens. Although Lin Shu has some talents, he has no background. He wants to be a mechanic.
It may be very difficult to go down this road.
And maybe the Potter family would give her a stumbling block because Lin Shu repeatedly rejected her without giving her face.
But, in the end... it has nothing to do with him.
Warren walked out of Lin Shu's seaside villa and was about to board the aircraft when suddenly another small aircraft landed. He could see clearly that it was the express spacecraft of the Galaxy Transportation Company.
"It must be the mechanical parts Lin Shu bought."
In today's era, long-distance material transmission technology has been applied, but it has not been popularized. The vast majority of civilians still need to rely on transport spacecraft to transport goods and purchase goods online.
Of course, there are also many people who are qualified to use the material transmission device and refuse to use it, thinking that this technology has drawbacks or other psychological reasons.
Warren withdrew his gaze, boarded the aircraft, and soon flew away from the seaside villa area.
A robot stepped off the express delivery spaceship, carrying a standard-sized express box in its hand, and came to the door of the villa: "Hello, you have an express delivery, please check it."
Villa Intelligence scans the code and encryption lock on the express box, confirms that the recipient is the owner, and enters the dynamic password just received into the robot's signing machine. At the same time, it opens the express channel and allows the robot to put the express into it.
After the robot delivered the courier, it boarded the spacecraft, and the courier spacecraft left quickly.
At this time, the people in the villa had also taken out the express delivery.
"Come here and unpack the courier." A housekeeping robot read the address on the courier and said to Lin Shu on the side.
This housekeeping robot is not the same one that poured tea for Warren before. Its model is older. It is the "Xizawa-k12" released by Cecil Company more than ten years ago. It is low-priced and can be used by almost every interstellar robot.
All citizens can afford it.
"Come from... Chaotic Star Territory?"
This word caught the attention of Lin Shu or should I say Qin Sui.
Qin Sui has settled in Edin Star for four years, and "Lin Shu" is the identity she has used for the past four years.
She frowned, walked to the robot and looked at the delivery address of the express box: Noan City, Lorenta Star, District 4 of the Chaotic Star Territory.
"It seems you are in trouble."
The robot sighed. Its emotions were much richer than those of ordinary robots, and it even didn't look like a robot at all.
Qin Sui looked at the express box and didn't open it for a long time.
This was the first time she had received something from the Chaotic Star Territory since her "old boss" went crazy. She had a hunch that this thing would break her peaceful life...
"Second brother, guess who sent the express?" Qin Sui looked at the robot, "Which old acquaintance of ours is it?"
"Who knows?" The robot spread its hands, "You can just take it apart and take a look."
Qin Sui was not very happy: "I have already washed my hands in a golden basin! Why are there still so many things..."
"Don't talk about washing your hands in a golden basin. You wear a fake face all day long and swagger through the market. You are pretending to be whatever you are. This has violated the laws of the alliance..." The robot rubbed her head, "When can I see you with your true face?"
You are a human being, let’s stop talking about this.”
Qin Sui slapped the robot's hand away and began to unpack the express delivery.
She once walked in the darkness, but now she has finally found a new life. She spends her days in the sun dismantling machines and playing games. She doesn't want her life to be too beautiful. Even if someone comes to bother her, she won't go.
She had no choice before, but now she wants to be a good person.
The express box was opened, and there was only a letter inside.
The moment they saw the envelope, Qin Sui and the robot's eyes froze. They both knew what the envelope represented. The black pattern in the center was the logo of their old club.
The robot picked up the letter and checked it, then handed it to Qin Sui, "It's not the same. It was probably printed by some crazy manufacturer."
Their old boss "Soul Leech" is the most notorious dark organization in the interstellar world. It undertakes all tasks including murder, arson, terrorist attacks and even subversion of the regime. It was killed by many powerful forces ten years ago. Since then, Qin Sui
Also laid off with honor.
This matter was widely publicized by the entire Galaxy Alliance, and basically everyone knew the symbol of the soul leech.
Some middle school boys just like this dark style, so there are also many unscrupulous manufacturers who use this logo indiscriminately. No one has sued them for infringement.
This is also the reason why this letter can pass the express delivery security inspection. Before the destruction of Soul Leech, items with this mark were classified as high-risk items by most countries.
"Do you believe this?"
A randomly printed envelope is nothing, but sending it to the homes of the two former members of Hun Leech is a big deal.
Opening the envelope, there was an exquisite invitation and a thin piece of letter paper.
Qin Sui handed the invitation letter to the robot. He opened the letter first and glanced at the signature Mu Xuan.
"It's him..."
A figure appeared in her mind, but she didn't expect that he would survive. What a... disaster for thousands of years!
At this time, the robot said: "This is an invitation letter from the Hall family in the fifth district of the Chaotic Star Territory. On October 25th this year, the daughter of the head of the Hall family will come of age and invites us to attend her coming-of-age ceremony."
"The Hall family..."
Qin Sui had already read the contents on the letter paper, casually handed the letter paper to the robot, took the invitation letter, glanced at it, and threw it aside.
Sitting down at the table and drinking the tea just served by the housekeeping robot, Qin Sui was not in a calm mood.
The Hall family is the most famous family of pharmacists in the Chaotic Star Territory. There are several S-level pharmacists in the family, and even the current head of the family, Sharp Hall, is an SS-level pharmacist!
And what she needs most now is an extremely rare S-level drug to revive life...
The robot sat down opposite her, "Do you want to go?"
Qin Sui glanced at him and said nothing, isn't this nonsense!
To be continued...
