In front of me is a big house, a very big house. I don’t know if land is precious on this unknown planet in this unknown universe, but judging from the surrounding building styles and distribution density, this big house in front of me is
The house is obviously a very unique place.
It is surrounded by tall cluster-type buildings. When we came along the way, we also saw residential areas similar to dense residential areas. Moreover, the population of this city is not large at all. All circumstances show that this place is far from a vast land and sparsely populated place.
This street doesn't look like it's the location of a villa area, but at the end of the street... there is such a three-story house that is incompatible with the surroundings. Not only is the house very big, it also has a large yard, and there is even a built in the yard.
A fountain.
"Brother Jun, I think of my home." Alaya floated in the air, flickering her wings, because she didn't really need to rely on wings to fly, and now she floated completely using anti-gravity, "This house
It looks a bit like the one at home!”
"Well," I agreed casually, and then carefully observed the big house in front of me again, "It's just a bit similar, but the difference is still very big. In other words, we may be overthinking it."
Yes, the big house in front of us really reminds Alaya and I of our own home: it is also located in an inner part of the city where land is at a premium, and a building like this has popped up in a place where no house should exist no matter how you look at it.
The large warehouse-like house also has a courtyard, and a fountain is built inexplicably in the yard. The house itself also looks simple and rough. Even though it covers a large area, it always looks like an enlarged small bungalow. These characteristics
It is very rare in other places - normal people would not renovate their houses like this. After all, not everyone has a group of imperial engineers to help repair their houses.
But apart from the above similarities, the big house in front of us actually has nothing in common with our home: whether it is the detailed shape of the house, the plants in the courtyard, the size of the fountain or the color of the roof, it is actually very similar to ours.
Every home is different.
I can only say that the styles are quite similar. I really didn’t expect to meet local people with similar aesthetics to me in such a baffling world. If it hadn’t confirmed that I didn’t buy real estate elsewhere, I might have been fooled.
If acquaintances saw it, they would probably think that this was a palace built by the Xiling royal family in some suburban universe - speaking of which, a palace built like this is probably unprecedented?
A bunch of random thoughts were running through my mind. I didn’t stop walking, but stepped forward to look for the doorbell: I didn’t have much to do at the moment anyway, so I just decided to go for a walk. I finally came across such a “destined” place, so why not visit it?
Checking out the owner of this place, it happened that Alaya and I wanted to find someone to find out more about this place.
Don't tell me, there really is a button on the cement doorpost next to the courtyard door, which is more complete than my own home: Due to various reasons, my doorbell has been abandoned for many years, and now my home has long returned to the stage where guests basically rely on shouting.
.
After pressing the button, he vaguely heard some movement in the big room. It seemed that he understood the function of the button correctly. At this time, Alaya flapped his wings and flew into the air. It seemed that this idiot wanted to go directly with his head twitched.
After climbing over the wall (a common problem of flying species), I quickly pulled the girl down by her feet. At the same time, the door of the big house opened, and a woman with ordinary appearance and clothes came out, with a belt tied around her waist.
Wearing an apron: This is really earthy.
"Are you..." The young woman who looked like a housewife looked at the two people at the door of her house in confusion, and then her eyes fell on Alaya, "Oh, people from the Feather Tribe? You want to buy feather brushes and lotion
, Hey. Our brand is big enough, and there are always people coming to buy things these two days. Come in quickly, come in quickly, I am about to cook, you tell my husband."
This young housewife who looked a little arrogant didn't give anyone a chance to speak. She just finished the matter in her head, and then turned sideways to let Alaya and I enter the courtyard, which made me so embarrassed: What else can I do?
You didn't even say anything, okay...
But it seems that the other party misunderstood Alaya and I as customers who came to buy things. So the owner of this big house is a businessman? The locals on this planet call angels "feather tribe". And the person in front of me is a businessman.
The young housewife mistakenly thought that we came here to buy the "Feather Brush" and "Care Solution" specially designed for the Feather Clan... This is a bit interesting, why do I feel like I have arrived in the Shadow City...
The two above-mentioned "chemical products", which sound strange, are actually used by the birdies at home.
But this misunderstanding doesn't seem to be a bad thing. It just so happens that Alaya and I don't know how to approach this family: after all, we came to disturb them rashly. I still regretted it after ringing the doorbell. As for buying things...
It's not a big deal. Some local currencies were indeed created on the road just now, and information about these currencies was also collected by probes located in other areas.
We curiously followed the hostess here into this large house that felt inexplicably familiar, and found that the inside of the house was indeed... different from home! Well, what did we expect before?
"You guys sit here first," the hot-tempered young housewife asked us two "guests" into the living room, then quickly served drinks and snacks that looked like shortbread, and then walked to the kitchen while talking to
The lion from Hedong on the second floor roared, "The dead ghost upstairs! Don't sleep! Guests from the Yu tribe are here to buy things. Hurry down and pick them up!"
The cold sweat on my head is brushing down layer by layer. When I open my eyes, I am in a different world. When I close my eyes, I am my home. If Bingtis is lucky enough to marry in the future, maybe this is what it will look like. Don't
Not to mention, the voice is absolutely the same.
While Alaya and I were curiously studying the strange snacks on the table and the local drinks with strange taste and questionable ingredients, there was a burst of flying noises from the second floor. Anyway, I couldn't imagine anyone getting out of bed.
The sound effect was the same as an emergency evacuation, and then we saw a tall man with messy hair running down wearing home clothes. This must be the owner of this place. When he saw Alaya and me, he nodded with a smile.
Come, then I ran to the corner and dragged over a large cardboard box. The first thing I saw was the image of an angel lying on the lawn sunbathing on the box, with twisting alien characters written underneath.
A line of words should be something like an advertisement.
...Sure enough, just like the Shadow City, all kinds of pornographic supplies related to winged creatures have become a formal industry. Creatures like angels are indeed rare in other places, but if they live together with ordinary races for a long time, it will actually be
That's all, especially after Xiling Angel resumes mass production. Shadow City's specialty "sleeping feather pillow" is almost sold to Macroworld. Who will be intimidated by Angel's special feather brush and care solution? It's just the first
It was the first time I saw wild angels outside the Shadow City and the God Realm, and I felt a little strange.
"Come on, come on, this is a new product that has been launched recently. The brush has a massage function and a magnetic therapy function. You can take a look at this." The man in front of me also thought that we were here to buy something and didn't wait for me.
After talking to Alaya, he started selling products by himself. He took out something that looked like an extra-large electric toothbrush from the box. Then he took out a bottle of extra-large cosmetics, "This is matching.
The care solutions are all from the same brand. If you buy three bottles of care solution, you can get a feather brush for free. By the way, does this Yu tribe girl like to brush her hair by herself or let others help? Seeing that you two are so close, you must be spiritual partners? Then you are definitely
I have to try this brush, it’s so easy to use…”
Me: "..." I haven't said anything yet. How come both the male host and the hostess are so imaginative?
But it’s a good thing that the other person is so enthusiastic and good at brainstorming. Many topics can unfold naturally without Alaya and I having to think about it. In fact, I really don’t want Alaya, an idiot, to come up with ideas with me.
She is one of those magical girls who can land herself in a ditch while walking on flat ground. No matter who she comes up with, she will definitely only come up with tricks to trick her teammates. Unless she is full of despair in this world, who would dare to do anything that requires her?
The work of the brain.
After talking for a while with the man in front of me who claimed to be a "feather tribe nursing expert" and "the most honest local agent for ri-chemical products", I learned more about this peaceful planet like a paradise: it is shared by two intelligent species.
The living planet has a large number of talented humans on one side, and a slightly smaller number and long-lived Yu tribe on the other. The two sides have a harmonious relationship and have lived together for thousands of years. Human beings are the promoters of technological society, and the Yu tribe is born with
Artist, sociologist and goodwill ambassador. There seems to have never been any conflict between the two races. Even in the ancient times recorded tens of thousands of years ago, the two races supported each other and developed. To this day, they still use this method.
The phenomenon of "mixing of species" is taken for granted.
The Yu tribe will also intermarry with humans, but this kind of cross-species love has a special name, called "spiritual partner". Because the life span of the Yu tribe is very different from that of humans, if they want to intermarry and avoid the pain of widowhood, they need something special.
Through a certain "ceremony", the two parties to the marriage can evenly distribute their life spans, so as to truly live and die together. This seems a bit unfair to the Yu tribe with longer lifespans, and it is also harmful to human beings.
It seems like a huge profit temptation, but no one has illegally performed a spiritual contract ceremony since history began - because it requires both parties to be completely voluntary, and neither party entering into the contract can perform the ceremony out of selfish motives.
The Japanese supplies agent in front of me obviously regarded Alaya and I as a young couple - maybe our words and deeds just fit in with some of the characteristics of local "spiritual partners"? Anyway, I don't know how the other party came up with this.
But this misunderstanding is obviously more embarrassing, although... Although Alaya didn't seem to react at all, this girl is currently busy trying out the so-called fully automatic multi-functional feather brush with massage therapy: she really thought she was here to buy something.
Of?
Or does Angel Sister not deny the idea of "spiritual partners"? This is true, after all, we have been together for five years, and we even have children... How shameless do you think it is to take this literally?
Life.
Anyway, we finally said our goodbyes and left. When we left, we took several brushes and enough lotion to wash Dingdang seven or eight times. When we got to the road, I was stunned for a long time before I realized: It seems that I am not
Going shopping?
Turning my head to look at the big house that always made people a little concerned, the bright smiles of the two local couples who specialized in "Yu tribe Japanese supplies" reappeared in my mind when they said goodbye. I shook my head and put away the business that I had just sold.
They bought suspicious products under false pretenses.
"Brother Jun, can you use this to comb your feathers at night?" Alaya looked at me eagerly as I put the things away (although she also kept a set in her own pocket), and her wings swayed twice subconsciously, "I feel like this
The care solution is better than what I used before.”
"That's a fresh picture. How can it be better than the limited edition cosmetics Bingtis stole from her mother?" I replied smoothly while pinching the angel sister's wings, and at the same time started to get in touch with other probes.
After all, he and Alaya are now "living outside". Although nothing happens for the time being, they still need to figure out where they are as soon as possible while Sandora is sleeping. At least make a comprehensive check on the situation in this universe.
, of course, if possible, it is best to determine the route back to the empire area from here, and this series of things obviously cannot be accomplished on a small planet. So while I was wandering here with Alaya, I also
More deep space probes have been released, and these probes have now been sent to all parts of the universe, and the farthest ones have searched almost tens of billions of light years away.
I haven't checked the situation outside the world barrier for the time being. The functions of ordinary probes are limited, and I can't find much information in the void. I'd better wait until I am almost recovered or Sandora wakes up before I study the matter of leaving this universe.
The silly cat Angel and I found an inconspicuous place, made sure there were no other people around, and opened the camouflage barrier. Then the two cats went into the temporary living cabin to study the signals coming from hundreds of deep space probes.
A lot of information. Well, to be precise, I was studying the information, and Alaya continued to study how to polish his feathers... This girl couldn't have injured her head during the previous battle, and her low intelligence was damaged again.
Is it damaged? (Alaya also played in the previous battle.)
According to the images returned by the probe, it can be determined that this universe is quite "prosperous".
The world order is stable, and the distribution of material belts meets the requirements for the birth of complex life. Star-making activities are frequent in space. It is obvious that the entire universe is in a very young state. Tens of thousands of living things have been discovered within a radius of 10 billion light years.
Although there are "hot spots" that exist, there are only a few dozen civilizations that have developed to a higher level - that is, can explore the universe. Although the proportion is not high, in most universes this is already a quite prosperous situation.
Of course, based on the habits of void creatures, it should be said that this universe has “a relatively large amount of information and is relatively active.”
At present, deep space probes have not found anything related to the empire or the gods. This means that this world belongs to the undiscovered "white area", and no signs of abyssal pollution have been found. This means that this place is far from the abyssal area, and this is the most advanced place in the universe.
Civilization is still in the stage of galactic exploration. According to the empire's judgment standards, this is a "prosperous but backward" border world... It seems that there is no need for extensive exchanges for the time being. If there is local contact with the civilization of the void level, or a comprehensive understanding
As for the civilization of your own world, you can get in touch with it.
At this time, Alaya finally finished fluttering her wings. She lay on my shoulder and looked at the holographic image in front of her. Of course, she was just joining in the fun: "Brother Monarch, is this world going to become an imperial territory? Pack it up and take it away then?"
"
...It can be seen that the Xiling bloodline is the same at heart. People like Alaya always maintain a heart to open up new territories for the motherland. You know a cute and cute girl said this solemnly.
How much pressure can such things put on people?
However, according to the empire's consistent rules, discovering a new world does require some "special procedures". First, determine whether there is abyss pollution, then determine the stability of the universe structure, then determine the highest level of civilization, and finally pack it up and take it away. This kind of work is very difficult.
I have been working as an apostle for countless years. What a great thing for me, Da Xiling Moving Company... Is this the first time I have completed the great task of expanding territory and sealing borders alone since I became the emperor?
The number of deep space probes is limited and cannot track and observe every "information hotspot" where life exists, so my attention is mainly on those civilizations with space navigation capabilities. The closest civilization to here is located at Twenty-Two Light
Years away, that planet does not look as stable and peaceful as the planet under my feet. It is in a state of war.
The probe captured a set of battle scenes in space. A group of planetary forces using shuttle-shaped space battleships are attacking a giant space city in high orbit. The battlefield is extremely fierce. The two warring parties are obviously of the same race. This may be a civil war.
.
"The scale of the battle seems to be very large. Is it a serious conflict of mutual extermination..." Alaya blinked, and his huge wings almost enveloped me. "It's only more than twenty light years away from here. Maybe when
I discovered that there is a livable planet here. I need to predict whether they will become an offensive civilization. If they want to be included in the empire's territory, they must abide by the imperial code. After all, it already belongs to the category of civilization."
"Isn't it too early to say this now?" I curled my lips, and then ordered the probe to shift focus, preparing to observe the surface of the planet, but just as the camera was about to turn to the ground, there was a dazzling blue and white light.
suddenly appeared on the surveillance screen.
I quickly turned the camera back, only to see that the planetary forces and the space fortress defense forces that were still fighting had been wiped out. The vast space was littered with debris, and the lonely space city was floating in the distance. Many facilities on the surface had been destroyed by the high temperature.
Melted: These fiercely fighting armies were destroyed by something.
After searching for a while, the probe captured an image of the attacker: a silver-white starship nearly a hundred kilometers long was hovering at the edge of the battlefield. It was powerful and heavy, but its shape was somewhat weird. It looked like it could fly in one bite.
