(Two in one) “Mr. Lu Liran, you are suspected of illegally carrying unreported heavy military submarine weapons, and you are suspected of participating in instigating rebellion…”
…
He Baidao and Xie Wei left surrounded by escorts and boarded an airship.
Although Xie Wei was surrounded by his own bodyguards and was a little depressed, this could not extinguish his happiness in harvesting the currency of the Altagan ruins.
While looking at the rust on the box through the protective cover, he casually asked He Baidao: “Who was that person just now? Isn’t he just a live broadcaster and a wilderness survival expert?”
“Why do you say that?” He Baidao looked at his friend with interest and asked, “Are you also interested in him?”
“I’m interested in him getting this box of currency.” Xie Wei said.
“Tsk, just watch the highlights he uploaded to the platform. There must be footage.” He Baidao said immediately.
Xie Wei clicked his tongue: “Why do you sound like an old man addicted to the Internet?”
“It’s better than an old antique who has lagged behind the times. Besides, I’m probably a middle-aged Internet addict at best.” He Baidao replied rudely.
The two of them teased each other for a while and then returned to the topic: “Tell me, why do you think that person is not simple?”
“What ordinary person would blithely refuse the Military Research Institute and just move on?” Xie Wei smiled, “He didn’t take that research institute seriously at all.”
He Baidao shook his finger and corrected: “It’s not that he didn’t take the research institute into consideration, it’s that he didn’t take the Desolate Star military into consideration.”
Xie Wei’s eyes changed slightly and he looked at He Baidao.
He Baidao: “That person should be the former subordinate of the Federation Commander-in-Chief, but I don’t know who he is.”
After hearing this, Xie Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and returned his attention to the precious currency in his hand: “Oh, that’s not surprising.”
He Baidao laughed: “Oh, yes, I almost forgot, you also hate Wei Sizhong.”
“Tsk, keep your voice down, I don’t want to be labeled as arrogant by that guy.” Xie Wei sneered and twitched the corners of his mouth and said, “Ever since that guy captured the Desolate Star Self-Defense Force and came out, we almost went back to the feudal era where he became the king.”
“That’s far inferior to the emperors in the history books. Wei Sizhong’s rise to power was driven by several major financial groups behind him.” He Baidao shook his head.
Compared to Xie Wei, he knew some of the inside stories and said with a smile: “Wei Sizhong is just a pronoun. It can be him, it can be someone else, it can be countless Wei Sizhong. As long as those consortiums are still there, the center of Desolate Star is still them.”
Xie Wei said nothing more and just snorted: “Just wait until it rots and then eradicate it. The center can regenerate. Although regeneration is a painful process, it is better than the rotten bacteria spreading bit by bit and eroding the surrounding intact cells.”
He Baidao looked at his old friend, his eyes a little stunned and surprised. He had never thought that Xie Wei had such thoughts. He always thought that the other party had long since cultivated his character and devoted himself to archeology.

Xie Wei met He Baidao’s gaze and smiled: “I’m not old yet.”

With the newly opened sub-function of the system, he can completely use the portal as long as he has enough popularity points to redeem it.
He glanced at the total number of redeemable popularity points on the panel. The total was 23.77 million, which was still six to seven million short of reaching it. It was much faster than buying a ticket and waiting for the dust to clear before the interstellar spacecraft could be navigable.
Lu Liran, who was riding in the elevator, was thinking about where else to go in Desolate Star where he could accumulate popularity points in a short time and without difficulty.
When the system awkwardly presented a task extractor and encouraged: “The host can do a blind draw! These are two-star collection tasks! There is no time limit, and you will be rewarded upon completion!”
Lu Liran asked suspiciously: “Why haven’t I seen you take out this thing before?”
“Before, we had to evaluate the host’s wilderness survival skill level and issue the most suitable growth tasks to the host!” The system said immediately, with a look of good intentions, “Now, it’s still a little difficult for the host to complete the next stage of growth tasks, therefore, they will not be released to hosts for the time being! ”
Lu Liran paused and raised his eyebrows slightly: “Does it mean that my survival ability is not enough to cope with it?”
The system said carefully: “That’s it, host…but host, don’t be discouraged, everything will be arranged for the host! As long as the host continues to work hard and does not neglect training, it can always be completed!”
“…thank you.” Lu Liran was thinking in his heart. He didn’t care at all if he couldn’t complete the so-called growth task.
“You’re welcome, host, would you like to do some mission, host?”
Lu Liran thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He could accept the mission first and wait for him to rest for a few days before doing the mission.
As soon as he pulled the lottery handle on the virtual panel, he heard a “crackling” sound, and then a festive bell popped up from the system:
“Congratulations to the host for extracting the two-star hidden mission: Mud Land, Forest of Bones!”
Lu Liran’s eyes twitched, hidden mission?
He glanced at the floor reading in the elevator and clicked on the details on the task panel——
[Mission Detection: Mud Land, Forest of Bones]
[Mission Difficulty: ★★]
[Map type: Swamp]
[Mission location: Ghost Forest Swamp]
[Mission details: Collect the special products of the Ghost Forest Swamp —— 10x Cod Grass, 1x Swamp Ghost Crocodile Tail, 3x Giant Mouth Catfish. You are limited to carrying no more than seven pieces of basic equipment, and the terminal storage function is disabled]
[Basic mission reward: 1. Three hundred thousand star coins 2. Accumulated online popularity]
[Additional mission reward: unknown]
Lu Liran couldn’t help but pinch his eyebrows. These collection targets…were suspected to be deliberately arranged by the system.
“Wow, the host is so lucky! One-tenth of the hidden mission has been obtained by the host!” The system voice was full of surprise, and it didn’t look like it was fake.
Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth, was he really lucky?
“Host host, a friendly reminder, cod grass is a seasonal plant. It only grows in the alternating seasons of summer and autumn. It is expected to wither in less than two weeks!”
Lu Liran nodded slightly to show that he understood. He estimated the time in his mind and set a rough date.
When he returned to the hotel room, Lu Liran was not surprised to see Ke Ji in his room.
His Excellency, the Commander, seems to be on complete strike. He stays here all the time and does not appear to be dealing with official duties at all.
“Papa!” The child, Lu Ziqian, held up the conch and blew it, smiling so hard that he showed two big teeth, “Zai-Zai blew the conch, and Papa will come back!”
Lu Liran looked at Ke Ji and saw Ke Ji making a gesture towards him to express that Qi Bai’s little modification was complete, and revealed the small metal ring pinned to his ear that was used to connect the receiver in several conches.
Lu Liran couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t expect Ke Ji to actually get this thing out.
Ke Ji coaxed the little boy in a low voice: “Zai-Zai can tell the conch whatever wishes he wishes in the future, and the conch might fulfill the obedient Zai-Zai’s wish.”
The child, Lu Ziqian, thoughtfully held the conch as big as his own head and nodded: “Zai-Zai is very good and obedient.”
Lu Liran is amused.
He sat on the sofa, played with the toys for a while with the little boy, and whispered to Ke Ji for a while. He didn’t feel that time passed so fast, but it was already dark in the blink of an eye.
Lu Liran briefly mentioned the matter of lending ancient currency and the sea worm in one sentence. Ke Ji didn’t say anything. He just nodded slightly and said with a smile: “You can do whatever you want.”
“The research technology here on Desolate Star is also low-level. If you leave the sea worm to them, it might die in a few days. We might as well wait until you return to the home planet and send it to my brother for research. He will definitely be very interested.” Lu Liran said.
Ke Ji thought of that fanatical researcher, he twitched his lips slightly and nodded in agreement.
“When I left Solto I heard that your brother was researching something similar to a teleportation molecular device and was starting to experiment.” Ke Ji said, “Maybe he will come before you go back.”
Lu Liran’s heart skipped a beat and he looked at Ke Ji: “My brother? He knows I’m in Desolate Star? Did you tell him?”
“He and I found it out.” Ke Ji smiled, “Don’t you have a wealthy boss who rewards you? Didn’t you pay attention to what he said?”
After Ke Ji accidentally noticed the ID, he started to investigate and soon discovered that it was sent from Lu’s Tower on the planet Solto.
Lu Liran was stunned for a moment, and then realized that there was a person named “Big Brother” on the rich list, but there were so many reward IDs that were keen to take advantage of the anchors that Lu Liran didn’t worry about it.
He shook his head, a little amused and a little excited: “There are so many barrages, it’s just luck to see anyone. How can I pay attention to a certain one?”
“What about mine? Have you seen it?” Ke Ji came closer and gently touched Lu Liran’s shoulder with his chin, asking with a smile.
Lu Liran blushed: “Humph.”
“If you have that money, why not transfer it to me directly?” He added.
Ke Ji laughed and responded: “Okay, when I return to Solto, I will transfer all my income accounts to your name. From now on, you will give me living expenses and pocket money, okay?”
“…you can really spend money.” Lu Liran snorted.
Who is richer, the Ke family or the Lu family, has been a hotly debated after-dinner topic in Solto.
One is the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation and the other is the Federation’s Chief Arms Supplier Researcher. It’s really hard to tell.
“I asked Bronte to contact your father and brother yesterday, but there has been some problem with the navigation signal and they haven’t given me a reply yet.” Ke Ji said warmly, reaching out to smooth away the broken hair from Lu Liran’s forehead, revealing a pair of dark brown eyes.
After he finished speaking, he saw a strong surprise bursting out of those eyes. He smiled, and couldn’t help but move forwards and kissed the corner of the man’s eyes, and continued: “Bronte will contact me at eight o’clock every night. There is still half an hour left. Wait with me, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise.”
Lu Liran nodded and thanked him in a low voice.
He couldn’t help but wonder what their usually serious and rigid Chief of Staff would look like after receiving this order from His Excellency the Commander.
Ke Ji: His face is full of gossip and he is waiting for a good show.
——It must be said that Bronte still wears a very reliable and serious skin outside others.
It didn’t take long before Bronte’s communication request came in time.
“Let me tell you, I risked being beaten out of the Lu family building to contact them on your behalf. The head of the Lu family also strengthened the military communication signal for us. It must be much more stable now!” As soon as Bronte connected to the communication, he started talking, and the camera was pointed at the workbench behind him, “Just look at you, this is all the result of your indifference in work. it’s all saved up to be almost as tall as my man, isn’t it? Why don’t you work remotely? Hello? Why don’t you say anything?”
When he finished speaking, there was no response from the other side of the communicator. Bronte turned the camera back in confusion. When he looked at the communication screen again, he saw the Lu family’s youngest son and the commander appearing on the screen.
Bronte: “……”
“I didn’t expect the chief of staff to be so lively in private.” Lu Liran coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence.
Bronte: “……”
So close!
Thanks for the update!❤️❤️
