Chapter 21

"I was captured by aliens and treated like a monkey. I was captured by aliens and treated like a monkey..."

Ye Bai's brain seemed to be filled with barrages of comments in an instant, and this was the only sentence in his mind.

As for why the kidnappers were able to accurately locate her, it was obviously related to her reply to the email. The other party must have found her specific location on the Blue Planet by tracking the planetary signal.

'Don't answer, don't answer...' The barrage in my mind refreshed again.

How could she forget!

Ye Bai now felt extremely regretful. She was too arrogant... She thought she could deal with a behemoth like the Star Alliance, and that her level and territory in the Ten Thousand Worlds were ahead of cosmic civilizations like Ruilan and Kain. She almost forgot that she was not only Bai Ye, but also Ye Bai.

She was intent on hiding the biggest secret, 'Bai Ye is Ye Bai', but she was blinded by the secret and ignored the dangers that 'the ancient human Ye Bai' might also encounter.

In the extreme darkness and silence, Ye Bai fell into reflection.

In the interstellar age, public security facilities are different from those of ten thousand years ago. There are no blind spots on the entire planet of Blue Star, and everything is under surveillance.

The functions of the personal terminal are also extremely powerful and comprehensive, integrating communication, payment, intra-planetary transportation... It can even load protection modules instantly, and in the modified planetary magnetic field, it can defend against almost any non-military attack.

Before Ye Bai used the purification module, there was no device falling from the sky to cover her, because it was actually the blue star under her feet that had the effect. When it was directly reflected on her, it was as easy as opening an app. However, the technological content in it was beyond her knowledge base.

So apart from spending money to stay in a hotel to get 'business private space', Ye Bai sleeps on public seats on the street every day, which is no different from sleeping anywhere else on Blue Star.

There were banks, stations, service halls and other places that could be called public safety areas ten thousand years ago, but they no longer exist on Blue Planet. These functions have been replaced by personal terminals.

As a public star next to the wormhole, the entire blue star is seen as a "passenger station" by people in this era.

However, this passenger station is as big as a planet, and the vehicles coming and going are not planes or trains, but interstellar spacecraft.

It was also this kind of environment that made Ye Bai, who still had the inertia of thinking from ten thousand years ago, feel that he was unnoticed and safe.

Ye Bai only realized now, where is there any real safety?!

The protection that interstellar citizens obtain through personal terminals is limited and depends on the standard protection level of the planet. This is just a public planet, and the level of defense against wormholes is probably very high. As for individual citizens here, the level of defense they obtain is definitely not as good as that of the core star area of ​​their own civilization.

This is also an era in the universe where the technology and spiritual power of different civilizations can form a hierarchical crushing force.

The planet and personal terminal that Ye Bai couldn't understand the principles of might be easily cracked in the eyes of the aliens who captured her. The moment the other party successfully kidnapped her silently, they should have been able to block the planet's signals, disguise the planet's signals, and at the same time conceal all the steps of the planet's monitoring.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have thought about saving money to stay in a capsule hotel for emergencies... No, that hotel room is not technologically difficult to hack. The most direct reason why Ye Bai was kidnapped this time was probably not because she slept on the street, but because she replied to that email.

From this point of view, the recruitment on the planet Makul that Ye Bai received at the beginning might not be a serious recruitment... Ten thousand years ago, frauds using recruitment as a trap were not news.

Who has ever seen a zoo pay a monkey a salary and give it the same freedom and power as "humans"?

Ten thousand years ago, people would joke about envying the animals in the zoo, who were protected and had food and water. But if this experience really happened to an intelligent creature with self-awareness, the feeling would be completely different.

More importantly, Ye Bai was now being taken away by such obvious 'unconventional means', and was not necessarily being taken to the Makur Star for exhibition.

Zoos only exist because of the awareness of animal protection. If you just want to make money, there is an industry called circus.

On a darker note, they might even be used as rare food ingredients or secret human experiment materials...

As long as you are weak and backward, you may become a prey of the bully.

The law of the jungle still applies in this interstellar age, and it is even clearer. There is no morality between different civilized groups.

…

Ye Bai, who was wrapped in a feeling of powerlessness, became gradually determined while thinking.

She began to calmly look for a solution.

After trying to use identification for a while, Ye Bai did not get anything more from the nutrient solution that wrapped him, but only got more detailed information such as "oxygen ions" and "hydrogen ions".

In the current situation, with the newly discovered powerful ability of [Identification], Ye Bai only needs to allow himself to "touch" more things in the outside world to obtain more information and find solutions.

Even if the body cannot move, there is still mental strength.

The kidnappers didn't know that Ye Bai had opened the star network. She could use the upgrade effect of the Ten Thousand Worlds to find a way to increase her mental power to level D, so that she could release her mental power out of her body.

So Ye Bai immediately logged into the Star Network.

Before entering the Myriad Worlds, she paused and searched for the Makur Group on the Starnet.

Unfortunately, apart from recruitment and gg, she did not get any information that could help her with her current situation.

After all, most people who go online to the Star Network are either for communication or for holographic games, and they don't really pay much attention to this kind of real-life entertainment project. They are completely two different tracks. Ye Bai wanted to find some interstellar travelers' "visit comments" on the planet Makul, but there were none.

Seeing that he didn't find any useful information, Ye Bai didn't waste any more time and logged into Wanjie.

It was still evening in Baiye Village. Ye Bai looked at the territory that was still under construction and began to calculate and evaluate it in his mind.

She is now pressed for time, and the sooner she reaches level 20 and changes her job, the better.

In this case, it is definitely impossible to wait until the third batch of refugees arrives in the territory and build a guard before opening up trade routes as originally planned.

It is not difficult for Ye Bai to obtain upgrade experience, the biggest problem is changing jobs.

'Shua'

Ye Bai opened his backpack and looked at the blueprints for the [Well of Origin] building. Entering the Divine Realm would be extremely dangerous, but it wouldn't be impossible to change classes...

But when he saw the building materials of the 100 source energy crystals, Ye Bai gave up.

It's too slow, because the trade with the traveling merchants has used up a large amount of source energy crystals stored in the territory. With the current production capacity, it will take several game days to collect enough materials. Now the villagers can't work at night.

She still had no choice but to change jobs in the town, so she needed to find a faster way to get to the town.

...traveling businessman?

Ye Bai's eyes accidentally swept across the hot air balloon beside the market.

The traveling merchant would constantly travel between towns to trade. Currently, the only player territory in the Myriad Worlds, 'Rui Lan Village', had not been upgraded to a Level 1 territory based on its rating. Therefore, the next destination for the traveling merchant Kazmai would definitely be an NPC town, and there was a high probability that it would be a town in the 'Galaxy Zone Blue Star Server' not too far away.

In the PC version of Wanjie, it's impossible to make requests to NPCs other than the standard options, but this Wanjie doesn't seem to be the case?

Ye Bai's eyes lit up, and then he immediately went to the market.

In order to give players time to prepare goods, the traveling merchant is set to stay in the territory for two game days, so even though Ye Bai had already emptied Kazmai's package before, he was still seen in the market at this time.

Seeing Ye Bai appear again, Kazmai showed a somewhat surprised expression, then spread his hands and smiled at her:

"My Lord, I have sold out everything I brought this time. I have no new goods."

"I know." Ye Bai nodded.

Kazmai was puzzled: "Then what do you want from me?"

Ye Bai got straight to the point: "I want to ask if you can give me a ride, so that I can ride on your hot air balloon to the next town you are going to."

Hearing this, Kazmai was stunned, then frowned and said, "This... No, this is not in line with our business rules."

Ye Bai did not give up and continued: "I will pay you enough."

If the other party cannot accept it, Ye Bai will consider using the method of "zero-dollar purchase" to obtain the hot air balloon, even if it will cost a huge price. But now is her life-and-death moment, so how can she care so much.

Perhaps it was the 20 points of favorability that worked, or perhaps it was his nature as a businessman, but Kazmai raised his eyebrows and looked hesitant.

Seeing this, Ye Bai realized that there was a way, and immediately took out a source energy crystal from his backpack.

This energy crystal is different from the inferior and ordinary energy crystals I've traded before. It appears more translucent, and the energy glow at its core is also a circle brighter. [Energy Crystal (Excellent)]

Although it is a primary mine, it has been mined for such a long time. Because of the senior engineer Carrie working in it, the territory has still mined green high-quality source energy crystal ore. There are only two pieces since the entire mine was built.

“Nothing is untradable; the key is whether the value is equal.”

Ye Bai blinked and told Kazmai the first rule of the Merchant Guild.

"It's such a pleasure to work with you, Lord Bai Ye!"

The familiar merchant transaction page appeared, and Ye Bai saw Kazmai placed a note on the other side of the scale, with the information displayed as [Kazmai's fellow ship ticket].

“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”

Ye Bai placed the source energy crystal on it.

Even though he agreed to take Ye Bai with him, Kazmai still followed the rule of staying for two days and did not set off immediately. Instead, he left on the second game day.

Ye Bai happened to arrange the future work of the territory overnight, and then he sorted out the props, equipment, and high-value items that might be needed for this trip, and filled them into his backpack.

The next day, as soon as the time came, Ye Bai immediately boarded the hot air balloon and left Baiye Village with Kazmai after the villagers waved goodbye.

Sitting on the hot air balloon, Ye Bai looked down through the clouds at the territory that was beginning to take shape. As he watched the various buildings and fields getting smaller and smaller, a sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

Only when the territory completely disappeared from her sight, leaving only the deserted mountains and wilderness, did she turn to look at Kazmai:

"Now, can you tell me where our destination is?"

"Of course." Kazmai finally said, "The place we are going to is Merlo City - a beautiful magical city."

I came back a little late today because of something, so I just finished writing now~
