Chapter 6. Merchant
Starting from the third member of parliament, the views expressed in the speech became increasingly bizarre. At the beginning, it was believed that the Survivors Alliance and the Planet Alliance civilization had something in common and should enjoy rights.
Later, the debate began to deviate from the theme of today's meeting. Some were asking the Planet Alliance to restore the imperial system, while others were asking the legalization of the marriage between humans and non-carbon-based organisms...
Then the venue started fighting, with groups and singles fighting, which was very lively.
The media that filmed all this seemed to regard the fights and fights in the parliament as a variety show, and actually brought the camera seriously to introduce the details of each member of the fight, and even had a real-time update of combat power ranking.
"Please look at the highly-watched MP Genos. Member Genos comes from the planet Iha, which is famous for plastic surgery. He has always been considered the number one combat power of the planet Iha. Since he became a member of the alliance and entered Conrad, his ranking has been rising and has now reached the 106th place in the list of MPs' combat power.
Councillor Genos is best at falling over shoulders. His signature move is to touch his hair casually after falling someone.
Vomit, look, Councillor Genos knocked down another person.
Hey, Councillor Genos was also flirted with. Wow, they suppressed Councillor Genos.
They just gave Genos' pants, vomiting, red boxer briefs.
Councillor Genos's socks were stuffed into his own mouth.
The ranking of MP Genos on the combat power list has dropped significantly, but its ranking in the popularity list of MPs has increased significantly. Some netizens believe that MP Genos has the potential to become the most funny MP of the year!
Vomit, MP Genos, MP Genos cried so sadly, but his expression had a comedian temperament. Is MP Genos going to transform into a comedian?”
"Haha, our poor survivor representatives were actually affected. Who is so unethical that he actually threw things away our poor survivors of marginal civilization with things!
What seemed to be sticking to the head of this unfortunate king's majesty is lollipop?
It's a bad taste, who is so unfair and evil, I think I should apologize to His Majesty the King on behalf of all the residents of Connery~”
When the parliamentary speech was replayed, there were almost no people watching it on the street, but when the parliament started to fight, more and more people gathered around, and even hawkers began to sell beverages and snacks, and some even started trading.
Lu Yu's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to look at the Planet Alliance.
Now he needs to find a safe place to fake his identity.
The city of Connery has developed technology to ensure control over the entire city. Although there is no big problem with moving on the street, you must have identity identification if you want to enter some public facilities.
Lu Yu didn't plan to wander around outside. His previous actions were to adapt to Connery's customs and customs. Now he is going to the library, to the database, and to the shipyard. The ultimate goal is to obtain as much technology as possible from the Planet Alliance.
Through communication with Man and observations on the street, Lu Yu has some understanding of Connorry's overall situation.
Although Connery is a huge space station like a planet, the distance between people is actually similar to that of an ordinary ground city.
This is because most of the main body of Connery is occupied by airports and various production facilities. The remaining areas for people to survive are only half an hour due to the existence of ultra-high-speed transportation facilities, even in areas thousands of miles apart.
This huge artificial planet actually has only more than 200 million people in total.
If the planet is of equal proportion, it can live at least about 10 billion people.
Although Connery is not a city with strict planning, highly developed technology seems to monitor everything. Although this can give the city a good security, human nature inevitably has a dark side. In some corners of Connery that are not so easy to be monitored, there are still gray or even dark areas.
Lu Yu wanted to find such a place so that he could fake his identity and enter the place he wanted to go.
After all, whether it is Connery or the Planet Alliance, even if it is not the Earth, it is a brother civilization of the Earth. In the setting of this world, both are descendants of ancient civilizations. The Planet Alliance did not show hostility to the Earth, so Lu Yu did not have to come up and do something.
Through some technical means and commonalities of civilization, Lu Yu quickly found clues from this gray area. However, after finding them, he had to sigh.
It would be better to say that he found a place that was not an underground black market or something like that.
It was an abandoned warehouse of a factory, composed of many old-fashioned space capsules, wrapped in the middle of a large number of constantly renewed space capsules, and seemed to have been intentionally abandoned here.
Through the introduction of the middleman, Lu Yu has already learned some knowledge about it.
The middleman covered himself tightly with a hat, and showed some unremitting and pity for him in every move.
"It's not impossible to say that these survivors are bad, but the gap between technology and culture from the alliance's main body is too big, making it difficult for them to adapt to Connery's life.
So they gradually gathered together, found this gray area, and built a place that seemed to restore their hometown in a magical way.
Then they ate here and waited for death until they died, and then were cremated and buried here.
This place can be said to be a dark corner or a slum, but I think it is a grave more precisely.
Although you are also a survivor, I suggest you don’t get addicted to it, especially don’t be fooled by the psychedelic beliefs of these guys.”
After saying that, the man accepted a large bottle of strong wine handed to Lu Yu and quickly left the dark corner.
Connard naturally does not ban alcohol, but for some historical reasons, there is a restricted sales order for spirits. Anyone who has a criminal history, a mental illness, or anyone who has been judged by the hospital or the court to be inappropriate to drink spirits cannot buy spirits. Under Connard's highly developed technology monitoring, it is difficult for these people to get spirits on the surface.
This man is a man who has had a history of fighting and was detained, so he cannot buy strong wine directly. However, although he himself cannot be said to be addicted to alcohol, he is also a person who loves alcohol and always has to rely on black markets and other places to do some things.
However, there are very few good wines circulated in the black market, and the high-quality spirits provided by Lu Yu are still very attractive.
The situation where Lu Yu met him was very interesting, because Lu Yu attracted the attention of the girl he liked on the road, so he wanted to teach Lu Yu a lesson, but Lu Yu kicked him into the ball.
This funny guy was randomly questioned by Lu Yu and turned out to be Lu Yu's key to entering the gray area.
However, Connery is indeed an interesting place. Lu Yu has to take care of this kid, otherwise it may cause trouble.
The fights of ordinary people in Connery are regarded as serious security incidents, but the fights of members of the parliament are regarded as variety shows...
Why...
According to some of the man's statements, Lu Yu was wrapped tightly and deliberately pretended not to look at anyone, because people in these gray areas were unwilling to be noticed.
These old space capsules are not well ventilated, and they may also be because they have accumulated too much garbage, so that there is always a lingering sour smell inside.
The people sitting in ragged clothes on both sides were mostly empty and silent, and some even kept muttering to themselves.
Some people walk slowly like walking corpses, neither like begging nor as if they have any purpose.
But there are also guys who are walking like flying, each wrapped tightly, probably those guys who survive on the ground.
After a few rounds, Lu Yu found a black market businessman as the man said before. He occupied a small branch of work room, mainly selling some difficult daily necessities on the ground, such as unlicensed spirits, etc.
But what Lu Yu values most is that it is said that this black market businessman is also a package of inquiries and can provide Lu Yu with some useful information.
The black market businessman's shop blocked it with two black cloths with some symbols. When he walked into it, there were many customers with bad faces occupying the seats inside, and then looked at Lu Yu together.
After observing for a while, I saw that the outsider seemed to be fine, so I returned to my previous state.
The black market businessman sat behind the counter, and he seemed unique compared to anyone in this gray area, because he was dressed up meticulously, with his hair and beard meticulously combed, and his pair of silk-wisted glasses than the people who were tightly wrapped, or the fierce customers in his shop.
"Dear guest, what do you need?"
Black market businessmen welcomed.
"I heard you can buy a lot of good things here?"
"Yes, some things that are not easy to do on the ground, but we are good citizens who are honest and law-abiding. We won't sell things that are criminal."
"It's not okay to increase the money?"
“Not everything can be bought with money, but I just want to make money, but I don’t want to take risks.
Since you found this customer, you should understand what I can only give you."
Lu Yu took out two large bottles of 96-degree spirits: "I can give you this, change the news, wherever I can find a place to live, a place that is not monitored by the ground."
The black market merchant turned on the spirits and sniffed it: "Good thing, this thing may not be particularly valuable, but in my place, it is a good currency equivalent. Dear guest, you are very wise.
I don't do anything criminal, but selling you a piece of news seems harmless.
Please come over and let us make a fair deal.”
The address I got from the black market businessman was not in this area. He was not the only one here. In fact, this place was equivalent to a gray area that was defaulted to the ground, giving some people a buffer, and by the way, it could also store those guys that were difficult to arrange.
However, Lu Yu had no time to stay here. What the black market merchants gave him was not the place he directly asked for to find a place to live, but the key to a deeper black market.
Through this address, Lu Yu can find a black market businessman who is doing more dangerous business. If Lu Yu can give him a price that satisfies him, he will get an entry ticket to the deeper black market, where Lu Yu can get what he wants.
What surprised Lu Yu was that when he found the location, the location of the black market was near a camp of the Planet Alliance Fleet.
The Planet Alliance Fleet has more than one camp in Connery, and each camp has a living area that is attached to the camp.
Although many of the fleet's service personnel have the right to decide where to live, many of the fleet's missions are extremely busy and it is more convenient to live near the camp. Secondly, Connery has a common problem with human civilized cities, that is, housing prices are high. Even if the fleet's service personnel are considered good income in the alliance, it is a considerable burden to buy or rent a house in Connery.
Most of the living areas near the fleet camp are managed by the fleet, and a lot of public housing has been built to live in the fleet and retired personnel as a benefit.
Because most of these places live in fleet personnel and families, Connery's local security agencies generally do not intervene too much, giving these areas great autonomy.
The fleet has long been performing missions on various planets, and the personnel's collections and spoils naturally have a demand for circulation, which is easy to form a black market.
But the threshold for entering this level of black market is not low. If it is not a person within the fleet, someone will need to introduce it.
What Lu Yu bought from the first black market merchant was just an opportunity to buy an entry ticket to get the opportunity to introduce the referee. No wonder he only needed two bottles of liquor to pass it.
The black market businessman guided him to find the tailor in a small broken house in the living area of the fleet.
The old man glanced at Lu Yu and casually said a secret code. Lu Yu quickly met.
The old man then looked at Lu Yu: "Young man, have you found this place? Tell me, what can you take out?"
Lu Yu thought about it and took out a bottle of male health products developed in the Pacific Rim copy: "This thing is very powerful, and it will work if the eunuch eats it."
"Hmm?" The old man looked at it: "It looks like a novel thing, I need to take a good look."
As he said that, he took out a small pill, which was lilac and the size of a fingernail.
He threw it to the male cat on the windowsill. The male cat seemed to be used to being fed all kinds of strange things and swallowed the pills directly.
"that..."
"What's wrong?"
"This is a man's five-day amount."
"ha?"
Although Lu Yu kindly reminded him, the male cat had already disappeared.
When the two of them realized, a little girl came over pitifully with the body of a male cat and a female cat.
"Grandpa...them..."
