Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 81 The Goddess and the Nightingale
Marlin folded his arms across his chest.Facing the lightning crystal creature, instead of panicking, his attitude seemed a bit aggressive.

"Don't make it look like I'm going to steal!" he protested to the snow crystal. "Is this a place for business? Why can't I be here?"

The current in the crystal flickered with great regularity.The mechanical female voice did not reveal any emotions: "Hundreds of work records in the past have shown us that you do not have any need to purchase energy-gathering materials, and you will only contact us when you encounter difficulties. Among them, you have made more than 20 financial requirements, and in addition There are more than 40 times you asked us to resolve your heterosexual social disputes, which forced us to spend a lot of extra resources. We have fulfilled the "Refugee Compensation Agreement" signed to you, and this agreement itself exceeds the standard of 240 stipulated by the league. %, so we no longer have any obligations to you. I have provided detailed instructions and relevant documents on this matter during your last visit - now, please declare your purpose, otherwise I will invite you out according to standard procedures our area."

The electric light on its body burst out of the crystal surface, forming regular geometric figures like thin rings.Marin immediately shouted: "I bring people to buy things! This is just a normal transaction!"

The outermost electric light went out, and the rhythm of the crystal flickering became more relaxed.

"Well," it said, "we have just been informed that martial law is imminent on the exchange, but the contract does not state that no suspicious persons shall be traded during this time...Who are the customers?"

Miro leisurely took two steps forward, looking at the snow crystal curiously.

"Are you a silicon-based civilization?" He asked with great interest. "Generally speaking, things in the carbon-based world are not attractive to you. Why do you come here to sell energy minerals?"

The snowflake crystal deflected slightly, facing Miro with the front.Luo Binhan didn't find any eye-like organs on it, so it might just be a purely polite gesture.

"We are conducting a research on the transformation of spiritual matter," it replied, "There are signs that we need some suitable participants, so we would like to purchase a certain amount of the White Tower Apprentice Standard Agreement. However, the alliance currently does not accept us Civilized form of currency, so we will conduct market acquisitions in another way, and continue to advance direct trade negotiations with Central City."

"Haha, so that's the case, but I don't have an apprenticeship agreement with me. Is it okay to just use Zhisi coins or the like?"

"You can pay in any official currency recognized by the federation," Crystal said.

Miro immediately took out a card from his pocket.An arc flashed within the snowflake crystal, and two alloy robots somewhat similar to it floated in.

"Please allow me to take you to the container to view the samples." It said, "In the meantime, your friends and Malinovlas can wait here, and we will ensure their safety until the entire transaction process is terminated."

It led Miro out of the automatic door.As soon as it left, Marin spit immediately, and then said to the robot next to him: "Hey, get a more comfortable chair, and get some food and wine."

One of the robots complied.It suspended three soft chairs of moderate height from the outside, and arranged three steaks, chopped vegetables, fruit juice and wine on the table.Marin immediately sat down and started to gobble it up unceremoniously.

Luo Binhan also felt horny, but not as unscrupulous as Marin.He tried some juice and minced meat first, and after a few minutes there was nothing unusual, so he gave this to Mikula.

"You don't need to be so neurotic." Marin said, "They are 'Sacred Melting Crystal Envoys' - anyway, that's almost the translation of the literal meaning. These things communicate internally by electrical signals, so there is no language Transliteration. They are all monsters, but they like to follow the rules, have no interest in other people's affairs, and will not bother to poison us. If it is not because the gate city controls space items, and their bodies are full of energy gas transmission tubes , these things will not go to the underground exchange."

Only then did Luo Binhan feel relieved.After taking a few sips of juice, he asked, "What's the matter with you and them?"

Marin kept rolling his eyes.He didn't touch the juice at all, but poured wine into his mouth with all his might.After a while his face started to turn red.

"What else could it be?" He burped and said, "The thing about big and small people... ah, a silicon-based advanced civilization, thinking about things you can't understand in your life. Some of them say you should Like this, some said it should be like that, and then they fought over which formula. Of course they couldn't fight in their hometown, so they went outside to fight in the wild, anyway, no one can kill anyone. But guess what? There are still a group of monkeys living in the wild! When they bombed down, the whole forest burned! The monkeys were all dead! Now they understood the formula and felt a little sorry for the monkeys, so they went to the ashes They dug up a monkey that was lucky enough not to be burned to death. They cured the monkey, and then based on their advanced moral concepts, they signed a resettlement agreement for the monkey, built a more beautiful forest for it, and copied some more The monkey group, this is the best of humanity. But those who died before can’t do anything. Unexpectedly, the monkey was still dissatisfied, so they discussed and discussed, and finally put the monkey into space.’You love Go wherever you want,' that's what they say. That's how my old home turned into a giant space glass ball."

Marin had finished his drink and was sucking desperately on the empty bottle.Luo Binhan handed him his bottle of wine wordlessly.

"Oh, thank you." He said, "I used to be more or less a nobleman. I had land, a manor, a 200-person singing and dancing troupe, and a white horse that could tell if someone was malicious. The early fever is gone. These are nothing, anyway, the gate city is not bad. My father is even more unlucky, he is considered a top candidate for the king, the consultant mage presented him with an ancient amulet, and assured him that this thing is powerful, It can even withstand the wrath of the gods, which is true. I stood in the garden that night and told him that the shape of the amulet was very beautiful, so he took it off and handed it to me-then there was a bang in the sky, He and the garden are gone, and the talisman in my hand was finished at that time, and I was half-burned, but I was still alive. Do you think how much time this talisman should have been on him? How much time on me? I am just a young son, no one will come to assassinate me, so he will not give me that thing. Who would have thought that I would be the last living person on the entire planet just to take a look at it? "

He raised the wine bottle and touched the juice glass in Luo Binhan's hand.

"May we live longer," he lamented. "As the saying goes, 'When two stars collide, tragedy follows.' We can only hope we don't... Have you heard the story? A king raised a cat The nightingale, he listened to it singing every day, and later someone gave him a mechanical nightingale, which could sing day and night. He was fascinated by it, and the live nightingale had to fly away sadly. But the king didn't know how to wind up the machine The mechanical nightingale stopped singing. He was so sad that he fell ill, and was so sick that he thought he was going to die. At this time, the living nightingale flew back and healed the king with its singing. The king was very moved and asked it to stay and sing for him. Then the mechanical nightingale was thrown away. The abandoned mechanical nightingale was full of resentment, and it let a poisonous snake wind itself up, and then flew back to the palace and pecked out the king's eyes."

Luo Binhan squirted out the juice all at once.

"This is the most instructive story I've ever heard," Marin sighed in a bleak tone. "I should write a song about it. But it's already spread enough that I think someone must have written about it." There are probably three or four songs in your ancestral grave in the country.”

He laughed drunkenly again.Luo Binhan hesitated for a moment, then said: "This version seems to be different from what I've heard..."

"How normal! All stories will lose shape in the process of spreading, but what I tell is definitely the most mainstream version."

Robin Han was a little confused.He clearly remembered the original version in his heart, and even liked that story quite a bit.And anyway, the mechanical nightingale returns for revenge is too dark for a fairy tale.

He asked inexplicably, "What educational significance does this story have?"

"It's obvious, my friend," Marin replied, "You can do things with the law, and you can do things with reason-but don't fucking touch things you can't play with."
