Chapter 336 The Great Hero's Friend
"It really is related to Saio!" said Liu Xingquan.
"You two don't seem surprised at all." Fuxiao looked at Liu Xingquan and Xiaozhen, "Do you know why the number of Sai'ao has dropped so dramatically?"
"In fact, he just received a summons from the Joint Arbitration Council." Xiao Zhen briefly explained the Seol smuggling case to Dawn, "We suspect the criminal is a bounty hunter."
"I see, it's poaching and smuggling." Dawn nodded. "But you were summoned directly, which is a bit strange. Generally speaking, in this case, they would just send a notice to urge your local authorities to strengthen supervision."
"It also shocked me!" said Liu Xingquan.
"It's a pity." Dawn said, "Compared to the high fine, being involved in the lawsuit of the Joint Arbitration Committee is another unfortunate and heavy blow."
"What high fine?"
"Uh, you haven't received it yet?"
"Received what? Some hefty fine?"
"Excuse me, do you know the Galactic Ecological Protection Bureau?" Dawn showed sympathy.
Xiao Zhen let out an "ah".
"What is that?" Liu Xingquan looked at Xiao Zhen, "Why did you scream?"
"The Galactic Ecological Protection Bureau, as the name suggests, is the galactic planetary ecological and environmental protection agency..." Xiao Zhen's gaze drifted to the other side of the room.
"So? Why aren't your eyes on me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a message suddenly popped up in front of his retina, indicating that an interstellar electronic letter was being received. He opened the letter.
Three seconds later, Liu Xingquan let out a scream.
Fuxiao said: "It seems that it has been received."
Xiao Zhen said, "It seems that I received it."
Liu Xingquan shouted: "120 million fine!! 120 million!!!"
Dawn nodded, "See, this is indeed a heavy blow."
"..." Liu Xingquan stood there silently, with no expression on his face.
Xiao Zhen silently answered his call, opened the email and quickly glanced at it. This was a very restrained official letter, which said that after testing, it was found that the natural ecology of your planet was unbalanced, and according to Article XX, Rule XXXX of the Galaxy Planet Natural Environment Protection Law, a fine of 120 million will be imposed.
This is a standard official document, but the 120 million fine marked in big red is enough to make any intelligent life in the galaxy stop breathing.
Xiao Zhen carefully glanced at Liu Xingquan, his good friend, who was standing there with his eyes wide open. This was normal, or in other words, he had a good mental quality because he didn't faint on the spot after being stimulated. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Liu Xingquan's eyes.
"Liu Xingquan? Liu Xingquan?"
Liu Xingquan grabbed Xiaozhen's hand and said, "I'm calm."
"Oh really? You're turning pale."
"I'm very calm." Liu Xingquan held Xiao Zhen's hand tightly. His eyes rolled and he looked straight at him. "Yan Zhen, even if you sell me, you won't get 120 million."
Not necessarily. The title of Hope Township Savior Hero is more valuable than you think, but you can't say this to him right now. Xiao Zhen said, "The Galaxy Ecological Protection Bureau has a set of planetary nature protection guidelines. Once something deviates from the nature protection guidelines, the protection bureau will show up and fine you."
"Never late." said Dawn.
"Even if you sell me, I won't get 120 million."
Generally speaking, the main body of planet development is wealthy nobles or interstellar conglomerates. The damage caused to the planetary environment during real development is extremely shocking. However, in fact, a fine of several hundred million is just a drop in the bucket for these conglomerates, but it is different for individual planet owners with very little funds. Although the original intention of the Galaxy Ecological Protection Bureau is to protect the natural environment of the planet, it does not play a real and substantial role in restraining those large conglomerates and princes and nobles. This kind of fine is only a deterrent to individual planet owners without background. Of course, now is not the time to discuss this topic. Xiao Zhen thought, my friend is already upset enough. He could feel that Liu Xingquan's fingers were very cold, and his palms were sweating.
"It's not that bad." Xiao Zhen said, "It's not going to fine you right away. Look, there's a sentence on it, which says that you must restore the ecological balance within a time limit. If you fail to do so within the time limit, you will be fined 120 million yuan."
"Within the deadline." Liu Xingquan said.
"As long as it can be resolved within the deadline."
"That is, I need to solve the problem of the green moss that is caused by too much snail poop."
"In fact, if left alone, the white-fronted rat-eater will cause food shortages due to excessive predation on the round-eared fat-tailed rats, and in the near future, the white-fronted rat-eater will die in large numbers. When most of the rat-eaters are dead, the reproduction of the round-eared fat-tailed rats will gradually recover, and then the Crete snails will naturally decrease, and the green mud giant horn gametophore will automatically die out. This is nature's self-repair." Fuxiao said, "But this repair time will definitely exceed the deadline set by the Galaxy Ecological Environmental Protection Bureau."
Liu Xingquan let go of Xiao Zhen's hand. He paced a step on the spot. The young man had regained his sanity from the panic. "If we trace back to the source, everything is caused by the large-scale poaching and smuggling of Sai'ao. Solve the smuggling problem of Sai'ao and recover the Sai'ao that have been smuggled away. The ecological problems on this planet can also be solved."
Everything is back to the starting point, Xiao Zhen thought.
"Yan Zhen, I think the culprit is that bounty hunter!"
Without Xiao Zhen's urging, Liu Xingquan handed him all the bounty mission information and bounty hunter information that had been posted.
"I'll check it out for you." Xiao Zhen said.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and Luo Qingxi appeared at the door, "Xingquan, Xiaozhen..." Her eyes fell on the little man Fuxiao on the desk. Fuxiao waved to her.
The room fell silent.
Liu Xingquan said: "Mom, this is the toy figurine that Yan Zhen brought!"
Luo Qingxi's gaze stagnated for a few seconds, and then he moved away from Fuxiao very naturally, "The meal is ready, come and have dinner."
For dinner, Luo Qingxi served several home-cooked side dishes, including stir-fried pork with leeks, steamed tender hand-shredded salt-baked chicken, fried egg with loofah, and a tomato, egg and pickled mustard tuber soup. Xiaozhen tasted a few bites and exclaimed that they were delicious, and ate two large bowls of rice with the dishes. Liu Xingquan looked at his mother with a guilty conscience, but Luo Qingxi didn't ask him anything. She just smiled and asked them to eat more.
After dinner, Xiaozhen left.
…
…
That night, Liu Xingquan lay in bed thinking about the summons from the Joint Arbitration Committee and the possible 120 million yuan fine for destroying the natural ecology. The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
His bedroom window was pushed open.
A figure tumbled in, followed by a cat, and then a chicken jumped in.
"Yan Zhen? Captain Ban and Mr. Cat, why are you here?" Liu Xingquan jumped up from the bed.
He looked at Xiao Zhen, who had a serious expression, and a bad premonition came over him, "Yan Zhen, is the situation very difficult?"
Xiao Zhen nodded and looked at Mr. Cat beside him.
Mr. Cat jumped onto the desk with an elegant step, "Liu Xingquan, your matter is indeed rather troublesome."
"I think it's already extremely troublesome now." Liu Xingquan said sadly, "How much more troublesome can it be!!"
Captain Madara said, "It's to the point where even I sympathize with you."
"What--"
Xiao Zhen said, "Don't scare him, Mr. Cat, just tell him directly."
"Well, I think that would scare him more."
"Hurry up and show it to him!"
Mr. Cat raised his paw and a three-dimensional holographic image popped out.
The content of this video is very exciting.
Specifically, it was a video of a Seio attacking an alien. Liu Xingquan knew in the past that Seio was very aggressive and moved very quickly. It could smash the opponent's bones with its powerful forelimbs in a flash of lightning. As for the content of the video now being played, it was similar to some of the most frightening scenes in Jurassic Park 1 and 2. Although Liu Xingquan had witnessed the tragic scene of Star Platinum being attacked by this beast, the current scene was still a bit too shocking for him. What's more, the holographic image was more realistic and oppressive than the IMAX movie theater on Earth. When Seio's big face rushed over, accompanied by the screams of the alien in the picture, Liu Xingquan even had the urge to run away.
"You should understand what happened." said Mr. Cat.
"I understand." Liu Xingquan took a breath and tried his best to steady his tone. "This is the Seio that was smuggled from my planet. It killed the aliens."
"There is good news and bad news as far as the results of this video are concerned."
"Please speak!"
"The good news is that the unlucky guy you saw being attacked on the screen is not dead."
"Not dead? I saw his head was torn off by Theo..."
"The bad news is this victim was a Shilling man."
"Xilin people?" Liu Xingquan thought of the dawn he had seen during the day, and gestured, "But aren't Xilin people very small?"
"That's why he didn't die. Theo destroyed the outer shell of his bionic body."
"Ah! That's great." Liu Xingquan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he noticed Xiao Zhen's look, "What's wrong? Why do you look like I'm dead?"
Xiao Zhen said: "Because the other party is a Xilin noble."
Captain Madara said, "Because the other party is a Shilin noble."
“Do you need to repeat it?”
"Let me give you a brief introduction. One of the most important common senses in the Milky Way is not to mess with the Xilin people." Xiao Zhen said, "The Xilin nobles are one of the most powerful races in the Milky Way. Although they are not as big as your palm, they are really difficult to deal with. Once you make them unhappy, there will be endless troubles. "
Mr. Cat said: "In the past hundred years, there have been only about a hundred cases where angering the Xilin people has led to the extinction of certain intelligent species."
"Genocide?"
"In short, the Xilin nobles are very difficult to deal with." Xiao Zhen said, "The Xilin man whose body was injured by Seo is the eldest son of the head of the Huiguang Group and the future heir of the group. His arrogant self-esteem has been insulted."
"The Glorious Group accounts for one-third of the interstellar trade in the Greater Star Region," said Mr. Cat. "That's why the United Arbitration Council will not hesitate to use violence to take you back."
"But they should be catching smugglers, not me!"
Xiao Zhen said: "You provided information about the bounty hunter. The problem now is that the hunter is missing ."
"Missing?"
"Yes, he disappeared without a trace, and there is no way to find out about the smuggling gang behind him." Mr. Cat said, "So the United Arbitration Council had no choice but to arrest you as a scapegoat under the pressure of the Xilin nobles."
"What--"
Captain Madara said: "In short, it's all over——"
Liu Xingquan fell silent.
"Normally, an ordinary person in the galaxy would be doomed if he encountered such a thing." Xiao Zhen said calmly, "But the hero of Hope Township is not an ordinary person ."
Liu Xingquan looked at him.
"Because great heroes have friends like me." Xiao Zhen smiled.
“……” Liu Xingquan felt his nose a little sour.
"Get ready to set sail. This time, I'll accompany you to catch the bounty hunter." His friend announced in a very calm voice.
