Chapter 1 I was in Edici, just got off the plane.(1/2)

Terra Calendar 1591.1.2.

Edici Federation·New World City.

In the airspace of New World City.

Rumble——

The aircraft numbered [Sky Train·A499] cut through the clouds and pushed forward with a smoothness and power that only a machine traveling at high speed can achieve.

Outside, the roar of the engine was like distant thunder, constantly echoing on both sides of the wings, intertwined with the howling of the wind, and weaving into an aerial symphony that was both exciting and peaceful.

This sound, even though it was isolated by the fuselage, still shook the cabin slightly.

At an altitude of 10,000 feet, the plane shuttled between the clouds, and everything in the cockpit seemed extremely quiet.

The captain held the strange-shaped control lever with his four hands and stared intently at the blue sky ahead and the beating data on the dashboard.

His deputy, a majestic-looking Alancoe hawk-man with two wings, was doing a routine job - reporting in the air, which is a key link to ensure flight safety.

The co-pilot lightly pressed the button of the communication system and slightly adjusted the headset to ensure clear communication.

His voice was calm and confident, sent out through radio waves, through the clouds, connecting the ground control tower with them in the air.

"Tower, this is flight NH430. The current flight altitude is 35,000 feet and the speed is 460 knots. It is expected to enter the X area airspace in fifteen minutes. Request follow-up flight instructions, over."

On the other end of the microphone, the response from the ground control tower was almost immediate, with a professional calmness and precision in the voice: "Flight NH430, this is the tower. After receiving your report, you have been allowed to continue flying as planned. Estimated five

After a few minutes, there will be slight airflow. Please adjust the flight altitude and speed to ensure comfort. If there are any changes, we will notify the tower in time. "

After the report was completed, Alanko Yingman casually took off his earphones and threw them aside. Then he took out a [debit card], and the card rotated slightly, accompanied by a "di" sound.

A cigar appeared out of thin air in his hand.

He picked up the cigar with his slender fingers and sniffed it gently. The aroma of tobacco and wood was intoxicating.

Then, sharp claws popped out from his fingertips, and he used the claws to cut off the top of the cigar, exposing the butt.

The cross-section of the cigar butt shows a uniform texture, like wood grain, which makes people imagine its texture.

He lit the cigar and lit the butt with a bronze lighter. A plume of smoke rose from the tip of the cigar.

With his attraction, the cigar burned more and more evenly, and the smoke released filled the room. The smoke was filled with a light tobacco aroma, like a luxurious ritual.

He took a deep breath, and the smoke slowly exhaled from his mouth, forming a white smoke cloud.

"Damn it, can't you wait until the train is empty before you smoke?" the fourth-hand driver cursed at the birdman beside him.

"Who is John Galt?" Alancome replied to the driver, holding his head.

"Don't you fucking say that slang, no one knows who John Galt is!"

"So my answer is out, no!"

"Bah, you have really learned the spirit of Edici." After the pilot adjusted the aircraft, he continued to curse at the birdman beside him.

Then, he took out a bottle of amber wine and started drinking it.

This caused the co-pilot beside him to roll his eyes.

"After this flight, you can pay off the loan, right?"

The co-pilot asked curiously to the captain beside him. Cigar smoke surrounded him, accompanied by soft smoke.

"Well, when I smuggled myself from the Junction to the New World City, I owed too much debt to Monster Power Company, but there was nothing I could do about it, because their family had a monopoly on the local portal."

The captain's face was filled with memories.

"The place at the junction is not a place for normal people to stay. If it doesn't come out of nowhere, it will be affected by the divine war sooner or later. Moreover, those developers who are engaged in the real estate bubble are really TNND. They are all deadbeat things. For the sake of finance

, I dare to sell any house that goes against the sky.

Not long ago, the flying house tour project launched by the real estate developer in their border area was completely unfinished. I heard that it was because a quasi-god (qualified person) ascended there, so the airspace was allocated to that area by the Golden King's Court.

It's almost divine.

The quasi-god directly summoned lightning and split all the thaumaturgic balloons on the flying houses. No one died, after all, they paid the down payment and still carried loans from [Financial Street]."

Alancoe Eagle Man continued to smoke, with a sneer on his bird face.

"Those people don't even think about the shitty housing acquisition rate of the real estate company in the first phase of Flying House - that housing acquisition rate would make the three-headed dogs of hell shake their heads after looking at it."

"They just want to take a gamble. If Feiwu can successfully avoid the property tax on Financial Street, the religious belief tax of the gods, the electricity bills of the power company, the exorbitant taxes of the local gods, etc., they will make a lot of money. After all, the house is at the border

The ground is equivalent to a shelter." The captain took a sip of wine and said with a complicated expression.

If he had a house, he wouldn't be a jobber in the Edici Federation.

"If you want to take advantage of capital loopholes, you don't want to think about whether your size is enough." Birdman Rui commented.

Alanko Yingman looked at the gloomy-looking captain and said comfortingly:

"Although the New World City is also a bunch of shit, compared to the border area, this place is paradise.

The most you can see here is the crowds of people with odd lamella parading on the streets every day, the passionate gun battles between company employees, the failure of prosthetic transformation, the cyber maniacs masturbating against the street lights, and the Mituists.

Falling out with other people, seeing the unemployed turning into financial demons randomly hurting people, seeing the state government seeking independence because it is dissatisfied with you wealthy people..."

"..." The captain didn't know for a moment whether the other party was really praising the city of the new world, or whether he was being arrogant.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "By the way, I haven't asked you about your origins. How did you come to work as a staff member at Monster Cabin Service Company? Are you also an immigrant from all realms?

"

"No, I'm from the local hub of Terra. I used to serve in the foreign army of the Edici Federation. After I retired from the army, I was spotted by a junkyard operator in the casino. I didn't notice and fell into a trap. When I came from the gambling

When I came out of the city, I only had a pair of underpants and a lot of debt, so I had no choice but to use my connections to get a job at Monster Company and sign a contract to work as a labor force to pay off the debt." Birdman said with an angry look on his face while puffing on a cigar.

"How much do you owe, and how many years will you have to work?"

"One hundred and fifty years."

"Tsk, you're worse than those who take out mortgage loans."

"Don't worry, just buy some stocks and you can pay off the money in one hundred and fifty years."

"You still dare to speculate in stocks!?"

"Suffice the bold to death and starve the timid to death."

"You have one slang after another. Why, you want to take the college entrance examination."

"Academy is also a test, but I bought some college funds to climb on multiple tracks."

"..., I can only wish you good luck."

*******

In the aircraft cabin, the weak lights cast a soft light, providing a warm haven for people on the journey.

The monster flight attendants walked quietly through the narrow aisles, with professional smiles on their faces, and occasionally whispered to ask if they needed more help or a comfortable blanket.

Passengers each occupy their own small world. Some are immersed in books or electronic screens, while others choose to close their eyes and relax, letting their thoughts wander as the plane moves forward at high speed.

Traveling in the air seems to cause wonderful distortions in time and space. In this closed space, the noise of the outside world is completely isolated, leaving only the steady hum of the aircraft engine and the occasional whispers of flight attendants and passengers.

.

The sweet announcement on the plane echoed in the cabin.

In the first-class cabin, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes half-closed his eyes, leaning his head on the unusually soft chair back, enjoying the rare tranquility during the journey.

On his lap was a half-opened travel guide. The lights in the cabin were soft, and outside the window were the flowing clouds and the ever-changing colors of the sky, which formed a breathtaking picture.

"Sir, could you please take care of your dog and cat?" A respectful and gentle inquiry interrupted the blond young man's rest.

Xia Xiu opened his eyes, turned around and saw a green jelly-like creature standing next to his seat, looking at him with a naive expression.

This creature is only half the height of an ordinary human being. Its body is translucent green and looks like a living jelly.

Several jelly-like tentacles are extending out from its body, and the ends of the tentacles are holding several plates with various meals provided on the plane.

Xia Xiu's golden eyes looked along the direction pointed by the other party.

A dog with white fur and eyes shining like bright rubies, and a cat with gray fur and deep green eyes. They are sitting around a small space with great interest. Their attention is completely attracted by the middle

I was attracted by the trembling raccoon, with a hint of helplessness and fear in his eyes.

The dog with white fur and red eyes had its ears slightly raised and its head tilted to observe the raccoon in front of it. Occasionally, it gently stretched out its nose and tried to touch the raccoon with its warm and moist nose tip, but stopped at the last moment, as if

It was giving the other party a little space; while the gray cat was wagging its tail, curiously watching the small flames spurting out and trying to resist, but the dog slapped the honest raccoon.

The owner of the raccoon was a dwarf. He looked at the white-haired dog with red eyes in front of him, his face full of fear.
