The Star Knight - 30. Chapter Thirty

Opal said: “Listen, I know Azeroth, you dare to deduct our points…”

Clerk: “Who is afraid of you! I know Azeroth as a person! He wrote a love letter to my grandmother last time!!”

Opal: “…”

Raymond: “…”

The two quarreled for ten minutes, and finally applied for arbitration at the union office. This point was adjourned before claiming, and they all got out of their stomachs. Opal went to repair the weapons and equipment, and Raymond took the task in the union hall.

“Opal.” Raymond pressed his ear button with his finger: “We have to take on tasks with more points, and make more money by the way.”

Opal looked at a new fantasy movement of sex toy boxes in the entertainment store, which included twin dolphins, a pair of blue jellyfish transparent sleeves and a connector.

The boss said: “Why, do you want to buy one? I really want it? I know you want it very much! You have seen it several times, this is a fantasy movement for two people! It’s all for men! Let you be nice to you Dude, good playmates have an orgasm together, two of them only cost 10,000 credits…”

“Oh.” Opal put down the box hurriedly, waved his hand to tell the boss not to say more, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said casually: “Do you want to advance quickly?”

Raymond thought for a while, and said, “That’s not what I said…Forget it, try to pick up some rich people, do you want to take a vacation?”

Opal said: “I’m casual, in fact, the task is like a vacation.”

Raymond looked up at the bulletin board, and said: “There is a team of 200,000 commissioned, looking for people.”

Opal said: “I know that the task, issued by Sid, is too difficult. Our rating is not up to the requirements, please don’t take it.”

Raymond said: “Well… the mission deadline is ten cosmic years, which is not cost-effective.”

Raymond raised his head, and the light screens in the circular hall flew around. Every time a rectangular light screen flew out, a team received a task. Raymond asked: “Investigate dangerous creatures on unmanned planets, one hundred and sixty. Points, sixteen thousand six hundred points, how about this?”

Opal: “Sounds okay, how long is the journey?”

Raymond said: “Explore from the photon star towards Orion…”

Raymond’s slender index finger pressed against his ear buttons, and the outsider looked like he was talking to himself, and the person next to him came over and said, “Hello, sir.”

Raymond removed his index finger, nodded at him, and looked at him questioningly.

“I heard you talking about this commission.” Sid said: “Are you willing to take it? I saw you and Opal arguing just now…”

Raymond said: “It’s not that I and Opal are quarreling, it’s the two of us who are quarreling with the office staff. We will not accept this request.”

Sid said helplessly, “I have been waiting here for six days.”

Raymond moved his eyebrows, and said, “We are not well-ranked, and this is not the time to accept the appointment of people, ten years.”

Sid said: “But you can also help me find someone while accepting other commissions…you can bring me…”

“Listen.” Raymond said: “I understand your feelings, but we really can’t do it. Our deputy head is a dead brain. Once he accepts this commission, he will definitely find it and bring you more. Impossible, we can’t even protect ourselves.”

“You can seek help from other people.” Raymond made a gesture and said: “The mercenary country has many high-level mercenary groups, especially B-level and above…Many of them no longer accept commissions for money and ratings. Maybe you will be interested in these challenges.”

Sid nodded perfunctorily, Raymond sighed, and took the next survey commission, went to meet Opal, and set out.

This mission went smoothly unexpectedly. The two only needed to take a survey machine to go around the unmanned planet. However, the new wasteland took a long time to go back and forth, and the distance to the starry sky gate was very long, back and forth. , Opal’s head is so dull that mushrooms are about to grow out of it.

Thirty cosmic days later, they returned to Liexing smoothly, and a magnetic storm came.

The last wave of spacecraft landed on the tarmac, crowded with people, waiting for the train to carry passengers. All small shuttles on the ground were cancelled to avoid accidents. When the train took them back to the union headquarters, it was already dark.

“Quickly!” The clerks closed the door, leaving two small doors for the mercenaries to enter and exit, and shouted, “I’ll get off work soon! As soon as possible!”

Raymond wetly ran into the hall to deliver the commission, and people came and went. Opal sat down in the corner, took off his boots and poured out the water inside. Attention to one person-Sid.

Is he still here? ! Opal remembered his tracing commission. Thirty-eight days have passed since they first met. During this period, there was no mercenary group to accept his commission. Was it too difficult?

The information bulletin board closed, Sid said anxiously to Raymond at the window, Raymond waved his hand and said, “No, no.”

He turned and walked towards Opal. Sid chased after him and said, “I beg of you.”

Opal got up, Raymond said: “Go, go have a drink.”

Opal was about to freeze and said: “Sid, let’s come together.”

Raymond glanced at Sid and acquiesced to Opal’s invitation. The three of them sat down in the dining room.

Sid has been living in the inn on the opposite side of the alley these days. Opal ordered something to eat. Raymond said, “You don’t have to wait here. Once someone picks up the order, the union will use the long wave communicator to inform you. yours.”

Opal nodded and said: “I also think you should go to other planets to relax. It’s useless if you keep on guard.”

Sid sighed and said, “Help me, I bet everything I can entrust.”

Opal and Raymond looked at each other, and someone outside the door said loudly: “Sid!”

Sid immediately got up and said, “What’s the matter?”

A young man came in outside, it was Xun, he glanced at Raymond and Opal unkindly.

Sid said: “Let’s have a drink at the bar.”

“No.” Xun said with a cold face, “Go away.”

Sid smiled after Xun left, and the eyes of Opal and Raymond followed Xun’s figure until he disappeared.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Raymond said vaguely: “Don’t mix with him.”

Sid said: “Xun is not what you think.”

Opal couldn’t help but laugh, and found it very funny, Sid said: “Xun is a good person.”

Opal smiled helplessly and shook his head. Raymond didn’t bother to discredit him. The food came. Opal was eating while listening to Sid’s dilemma. It was indeed a very, very troublesome task, so many mercenaries were watching. In the task details, when you see the second line, you will return the task directly.

Each employer can choose their delegation method. There are usually two categories: open and closed. Open delegation faces all mercenaries. You can check the details of the task before proceeding to determine whether it will be accepted or not.

Closed orders can only be inspected after they are received, which facilitates the confidentiality of the employer’s identity.

There is also an encryption entrustment, which is negotiated by the employer and the trade union before communicating privately with the mercenary, and all responsibilities are at your own risk.

“You should choose a closed commission.” Raymond said.

Opal: “Isn’t this a pitfall? The mercenaries are not fools. The tracing task plus a closed entrustment is still B-level, let alone no one will touch it.”

“Yes.” Lei Meng said.

Sid said: “My commission is to find my father.”

Opal and Raymond were quiet, and Sid said: “I… don’t even know if he is dead, he is my only relative. The Republic issued his death certificate, and there is a suicide note drawn up a long time ago. , But I think he is not dead yet…”

Raymond said: “Forget it.”

“No.” Opal said, “Go on.”

Sid sighed and began to tell his story before he came to the God of War galaxy. He was born in the central galaxy living area of the Republic, and like countless teenagers, he began to receive education at the Interstellar United School at the age of six and graduated at the age of ten to participate in vocational training. Employment at the age of sixteen, twenty this year-two years older than Opal.

His father was a staff member named Spark Express. This company was a private industry with only a few spaceships and very little capital, and delivered goods between galaxies. Occasionally, they also contract for the transportation of goods in some remote areas, and privately do small business with local people for tax evasion.

Three years ago, Sid’s father was sent to the M97 Owl Nebula in Ursa Major and took a guest and his package to the designated destination. As a result, there was a big explosion at the edge of the nebula, and the entire spacecraft was bombed to no bones. The guests and the five crew members on the ship were all killed.

The Republic sent police forces to investigate. The situation at that time was very complicated. The M97 Nebula showed some instability, or a chain reaction of a supernova explosion, which caused distortions in the remote force field and space. This is an unpredictable catastrophic factor. Spark Express Co., Ltd. therefore received a compensation for the spacecraft and life insurance, and after the distribution, a new sailing team was reorganized.

Sid spent a full year in litigation with the company. In the end, he was exhausted. After receiving insurance compensation, he bought a spacecraft and went to the M97 Nebula to find his father. It took nearly two years and finally returned without success. .

The Republic no longer cares about this matter, and the identities of the victims have long been included in the archives. But Sid still stubbornly moved between the planets, searching for his father’s whereabouts. In his words, even if he is dead, he will find a relic as proof, otherwise he will never be at ease in his life.

However, how could it be so easy to find a fragment in the vast universe that could prove that his father was dead? Once the spacecraft explodes, the energy of the atomic furnace is enough to turn everything into molecules and atoms. Even if the power of the explosion only blows it up, the resistance in space is extremely small. The spherical impact projectile except the center point is enough to give the remaining solid matter a Extremely fast, throw them away into the endless darkness.

As long as these substances do not change their trajectory due to impact, they will always follow the initial speed and move endlessly in a vacuum environment. One year is enough for it to fly tens of millions of kilometers and search in the spherical area near the explosion point. Impossible to get anything.

Sid didn’t conceal the slightest bit, he told the difficulty of the mission, which is simply the most difficult category of mercenary missions-looking for the victims of drifting. According to the standard rating, this commission will also be marked A-level at least, and the reward points are 12,000. But because of Sid’s remuneration problem-A-level team cooperation tasks will not be accepted by the leader if there is less than 800,000.

Sid only had two hundred thousand, so he downgraded the task.

Two hundred thousand remuneration, 12,000 points, looking for a person who was issued a death certificate by the Republic. The only reason to prove his survival was Sid’s wishful thinking “I believe he is not dead.”

No one will look at such a commission.

Opal glanced at Raymond, who immediately understood what he meant, frowned and said: “You are crazy! We can’t get the task rating alone. Our team is still E-level…”

Opal said: “Our strength is not only E-level, and he can make special appointments, and the reward is 12,000 points…”

Raymond said: “According to the mercenary regulations, lowering the commission level will reduce the points. If we take it, in addition to the 200,000 commission, the reward will only be two hundred and forty points! Do you understand?”

Opal disagrees. Neither of them speaks. Raymond said to Sid, “We can’t do it.”

Opal suddenly said: “Wait, listen to it again, there is no loss, is it? Sid, what makes you think your father is still alive?”

Sid shook his head, didn’t want to say any more, and said, “Thank you.”

Opal said: “No, no, after finishing talking, maybe we can give you some help?”

“You guys talk, I’m leaving.” Leimen didn’t get angry, and then got up and left.

Opal sat on the chair, raised his palm, grabbed Raymond’s fingers, and said, “Hi, comrades-in-arms, don’t do this.”

Raymond’s big hands were warm and comfortable. The two of them just pulled them gently, and Raymond unnaturally shook off Opal’s hands and went to the front desk to check out without saying a word. Opal pointed his middle finger to him and slandered Shi Lei. Meng ordered a few cups of coffee and came back.

“E7, is there any news lately?” Raymond sat down.

E7 projected a holographic newspaper dickly. Raymond pulled up a chair, sat with his back to them, and smoked and read the newspaper carelessly.

Opal motioned to Sid and said, Sid thought about it, and said: “My mother, died before I was born.”

Opal understood, nodded and said: “You are not conceived by the mother.”

“Yeah.” Sid said, “She eloped with my dad. My dad never mentioned her. I think she should be rich, but nothing matters anymore.”

Opal: “What does this have to do with your father’s birth?”

Sid said: “I was genetically cultivated. Dad left a bit of mother’s blood, extracted chromosomes, and put it together with his to nurture me. But my mother’s genes have been destroyed by radiation, and only a lot of cells are left. Most of the few paragraphs are made up with Dad’s genes, so… I’m like Dad’s clone.”

The rustling of Raymond flipping through the newspaper stopped.

Opal said: “So what?”

Sid said: “When I was a child, I was different from other people. I was taken home by my dad and raised after I left the newborn nursery. He grew up with me almost every day. I…maybe it’s hard to believe. , But I just know that he is alive, that is something…like faith.”

The electronic sound of flipping the newspaper rang again.

Sid stood up and said, “I know someone will be willing to help me. Thank you, goodbye.”
