Chapter 229 Klein's Attitude
The Facundo base is an irregular pentagon, surrounded by light grey alloy walls. It is heavily guarded, with one ground floor with a dock and one underground floor.
The architectural style appears to be rather rough, with the shiny black shell reflecting the light of the stars, and the structure being angular, with a precise and rigorous mechanical feel.
In addition to the large area of black, the bright blue paint extends along the edges, adding a slight beauty to this heavy base.
The so-called five-hectare usable area is blocked by metal mesh, and there is no developed rock land at all.
There are several bases of different shapes nearby. If you look up, you can not only see the stars constantly circling the main star, but at certain moments, you can even see the [Galactic Veil]
The reason why housing prices in Guixing are so high is largely due to [Galaxy Veil].
As one of the safest places in the universe, countless people are trying their best to get in.
The base has permanent ownership, but requires a considerable annual maintenance fee of around 50 million.
If you refuse to pay for more than ten years, Guixing will take back the base.
Looking at the rather magnificent base in front of him, Li Yu felt a sense of excitement. It was the flower-growing talent engraved in his soul.
He shook his head to get rid of the inexplicable thoughts. The remaining facilities would be completed in about seven days. Now the base was still an empty shell.
"Fuck! The Little Mermaid has been attacked!" Max was shocked by the message that suddenly popped up on his smart terminal. "Who dares to attack the Little Mermaid? They're courting death!"
His expression changed and he glanced at Li Yu. Since this guy had paid the money, he should not run away. After all, more than 10 billion star coins was not a small number no matter how you looked at it.
"I'll come to see you in a few days... don't run away..." Max gave a few instructions and left in a hurry without waiting for Li Yu to answer.
This Max is also a weirdo. He was eager to ask Li Yu to prove it to him before, but now he is leaving in a hurry.
"Mermaid Princess? Xiao Chaonao, come and see what's going on?" Li Yu rubbed his chin and asked Xiao Chaonao to search for relevant information. Soon... a large amount of information was gathered.
"Master, the mermaid princess is holding a concert tour in Guixing... not long ago..."
Li Yu's face gradually became strange. The status of mermaids in the interstellar space is relatively special. They are the representatives of persecution in the slave trade and are supported by many races.
The mermaid princess not only possesses the most noble colorful scales of the mermaid clan, but her tears can also turn into high-density metal, and her singing can soothe tyranny.
Even her eyes could make a murderous villain burst into tears.
Her mission is to hold concert tours across the galaxy, mainly to promote anti-slavery trade. She is one of the top stars in the galaxy.
And he is still friends with Klein.
Meeting Klein’s friend again... Li Yu has become a little sensitive to the word "friend".
However, according to gossip, Klein and the mermaid princess have a very deep friendship, and they are not just ordinary friends.
An hour ago, in the Guixing-Vettel Galaxy, the Mermaid Princess was attacked, resulting in many staff members being injured.
"...According to relevant staff, this attack would not have been so serious. It was only because the mercenaries on the outer defense temporarily escaped, causing the guards to be disconnected, that the unexpected situation occurred..."
"...The ones who undertook this security mission were none other than the Silver Snake Mercenaries. It is said that...they have a close relationship with His Highness Klein..."
Li Yu roughly understood what happened and couldn't help but be speechless. He was afraid that Klein would be dragged out and whipped again.
He shook his head, it had nothing to do with him anyway.
…
Six days later…at eight o’clock in the morning, the light of the stars shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the lobby of the base and onto the rectangular metal dining table.
The housekeeping robot carries an exquisite dinner plate with delicious food on it, tempting people's taste buds.
"La la la..." Keller kicked her calves and sat on the chair. In front of her was a basin of scarlet liquid, which whetted Keller's appetite.
"A cup of blood a day is better than Vimala."
The metal floor cracked in a spiral shape, and Li Yu slowly rose up in a mechanical seat. Hearing Keller's words, he felt it was a bit outrageous.
"What are you talking about..." He shook his head, and the combat uniform on his body turned into ordinary clothes. He floated to the main seat. The sunlight fell in front of him, and the cup next to him was filled with milk.
"I learned it from that big-headed guy on TV..." Keller explained with his eyes wide open.
"The delivery has been almost completed. There is only one B-level training room left, and it should be delivered soon." said the hunter sitting next to him.
Li Yu nodded, picked up the milk and drank it all, then praised: "I can taste the unique flavor every time I drink it. Sinai's craftsmanship is good."
"Yeah...yes, I used to drink it every day, but it tastes bland now," Keller agreed.
Sinai walked slowly towards them wearing an apron, her slender chest looking particularly substantial.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but say shyly: "This is a specialty of our place. It uses a special method to make the milk ferment twice."
She tried hard to find her own sense of existence and didn't want to appear to be doing nothing. She was good at cooking.
Coincidentally, after she took Compound No. 5, the superpowers she awakened were also related to cooking.
She can add special powers to food, allowing those who eat it to gain a small increase in strength.
However, it has just awakened, and at most it can make people's blood flow faster and see more clearly, etc. It is not of much use and needs further development.
Tu Ying was eating quietly at the side. The bowl next to him had been replaced several times by the housekeeping robot and was filled with compressed nutrients.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Payton pushed the door open and walked in. Keller, who was humming a nursery rhyme, immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak, and trembling.
Peyton looked around and fixed his sight on Tu Ying: "Follow me, there has been new progress in the research of the sacred objects of the trolls."
"Yes." Tu Ying put down the rice bowl and said to Li Yu, "I'm leaving first."
Li Yu nodded, and Tu Ying followed Payton and left.
"Poor little Tu Ying..." Keller shook his head and sighed, then jumped off the table and ran after Xiao Chaonao.
Li Ping is not here, leading the superpower group, developing day and night, hoping to contribute to Li Yu as soon as possible.
Eating is just to satisfy the mouth. To maintain the normal functioning of the body, you still need to take compressed nutritional medicine. After taking two tubes, the fatigue caused by overnight training was swept away.
"Master, Klein wants you to come over. She has something to talk to you about." The little noisy kid in Keller's arms suddenly spoke.
Li Yu purchased a server array specifically for Xiao Chaonao. It cost a lot, but it also greatly improved Xiao Chaonao's performance and could help him remotely hack into smart devices.
Li Yu paused, nodded and said, "I understand."
Ever since Max left in a hurry last time, this guy seemed to have disappeared and never contacted him again, leaving him with a few days of comfort. I don’t know why Klein wanted to find him this time.
The hunter added, "By the way, the weapons you ordered from Optoelectronics Technology are ready. They have notified you that you can pick them up."
"What exactly did you order? It cost so many star coins."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Guess."
The hunter was speechless and shook his head, "I asked the sales manager before that high-energy weapons need to be reported when entering here. Don't forget it when the time comes."
"Weapons will not enter here." Li Yu said meaningfully.
The hunter narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he understood something, looked at the [Titan Colonial Suit] on Li Yu, and didn't say anything.
…
In the Star Casting Palace, Li Yu followed the soldiers and moved forward quickly. Klein's palace was not remote, and it didn't take too long for him to arrive here .
"Sir Li Yu, we have arrived at His Highness Klein's palace." The soldier performed his routine duties and then left.
The palace's female guards were wearing light blue armor and had obviously been notified. They did not stop Li Yu, but pushed open the tightly closed alloy carved door and said:
"His Highness is already waiting for you."
Li Yu nodded and walked straight in. The palace seemed very empty, the curtains fluttered without wind, and a familiar figure walked down the stairs.
It's Horus!
Li Yu's heart suddenly moved. Although this old bastard had no intention of killing him for the time being, he was still very unhappy because of the fact that he had previously seduced Edwin to be hostile to him.
These days, Li Yu occasionally spied on this old pervert, but didn't gain much. He just learned a lot of little secrets, not many of which were related to him.
"Lord Horus..." Li Yu smiled gently.
Horus saw Li Yu, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not show it. He nodded calmly and said calmly: "Your Highness is in a bad mood, please be careful with your words."
Damn, why are you acting like a eunuch? I haven't even given you the silver yet, but you're already telling your master's mood.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he smiled: "Thank you for your reminder."
Horus didn't answer and walked out. Li Yu pondered for a moment before going upstairs.
After knocking on the door, Klein was sitting behind a metal desk, looking a little tired, with a slightly frowned brow. He rubbed his brows and said, "Come on, sit down."
Isn't it nice to let people sit down as soon as they arrive?
“I heard that you had a big fight in the Talent Support Association before?” Klein’s hair was a little messy, and she was wearing an elegant light white dress.
Li Yu nodded and sighed deliberately: "I was impulsive."
Since Klein knew about this, he must also know the cause and effect, so he didn't need to say more.
“It has nothing to do with you. My behavior caused you trouble.” Klein took a deep breath and said, “Don’t act impulsively just because someone disrespects me in the future.”
Hmm? Li Yu was a little surprised. Klein seemed to think that he took action because of her... Well... To some extent, it seemed to be true.
Li Yu remained silent, neither admitting nor denying.
"I asked you to come here this time because I want to trouble you with something." Klein's wording made Li Yu feel a little strange. Is he so polite?
Those words on the Black Knight seemed to have a great impact on Klein. Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "You say."
“My friend…” Klein paused here, his cheeks flushed, as if he was ashamed of the word “friend”.
After a pause, she continued, "To be precise, my best friend, the Mermaid Princess, was attacked in the Vetter Star System not long ago. It took six days to settle the matter."
"But her concert hasn't started yet, and there was a problem with the security personnel before, so I want you to go over and help."
Li Yu was speechless. He had thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but then Klein came to his door.
There was no way. Something had gone wrong with the previous security mercenary, most likely introduced by Klein. If she didn't take responsibility now, it would be embarrassing.
"This..." Li Yu hesitated. There was no benefit, but Klein's attitude was so good that a direct refusal might ruin her good impression of him and affect the next plan.
This incident could be used to test Klein's attitude.
“It can be considered a mandatory mission of the association,” Klein added.
Li Yu shook his head. He didn't care about that. He said, "Mr. Max wants me to prove the origin of the Xinhe virus for him."
Klein was somewhat confused when she heard this. She didn't know this news. "Can you confirm the origin of the virus?"
"I was in No Man's Land at that time, and I did see something." Li Yu's face was not red, and he was not out of breath.
"If you don't want to stand up, I can block it for you." Klein thought for a moment and thought that Li Yu didn't want to be the first to take action.
Li Yu said sincerely: "That's not the case. Since Guixing has accepted me, I am willing to prove it."
It would be strange if I didn't want to prove it. What if Big Brother Anxing found out that something was wrong with this matter one day and bit me first? What should I do?
Li Yu will not be able to sleep or eat well until Big Brother Anxing takes the blame.
Klein didn't understand what Li Yu meant. He stared at him with his beautiful eyes, waiting for what to say next.
"I hope Princess can help me next time..."
Li Yu pretended to be hesitant and uneasy: "I have a friend who is the most talented researcher I have ever met. He has been studying the Xinhe virus."
"If he can come up with a countermeasure, I hope Her Royal Highness can earn enough benefits for him."
Klein looked at Li Yu with a strange expression, then suddenly smiled and shook his head, saying, "Guixing has been researching for so long and hasn't found a targeted measure. Your friend doesn't need to waste his efforts."
Li Yu "eagerly" explained: "My friend is a genius, I believe in him."
Klein obviously didn't believe it. Since the outbreak of the Xinhe virus, many large laboratories have been studying it, but it has been difficult to contain it.
The root cause is not the Xinhe virus itself, but the fact that the Xingyao Empire has been behind the scenes, and its evolution and spread speed is frighteningly fast.
Klein felt that Li Yu's question was a bit abrupt. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly guessed that this guy was testing whether he regarded him as a friend or a subordinate.
If he was a subordinate, the credit could be attributed to Klein himself. If he was a friend, he would naturally fight for his interests.
Klein did not answer immediately, but looked at the anxious Li Yu, many thoughts emerged in his mind, and finally said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, if it really succeeds, I will fight for enough benefits for your friends!"
