Chapter 64: Early
◎I think he is dirty◎
"ABO?" Xu Wen was very confused by these unfamiliar letters.
"Don't get off topic." Qin Shu felt a headache when she saw this.
"Then Mr. Xu Wen, I have sent you some information. Please take a look at it yourself first." After Omir finished speaking, Xu Wen's terminal made a "ding" sound, which was the sound of a successful file transfer.
"Okay." Xu Wen responded blankly, preparing to study the information carefully after returning home.
"Let's get back to the pheromones." Seeing Qin Shu holding her forehead, Omir quickly brought the topic back. "Actually, I've studied all the medical reports and data from your world. Although you aren't divided into six genders, ABO, everyone has some pheromones. That's why some people fall in love with someone at first sight. It's the mutual attraction of pheromones."
"oh."
"Boss, your reaction is so cold."
"Um?"
Although Omir is an artificial intelligence, it actually has a very strong sense of human emotions: "Anyway, Miss Clara discovered the wonderful use of these pheromones after obtaining them. She added these pheromones to the food ingredients, and then based on which pheromones attracted the diners to the restaurant, she could make a comprehensive judgment on what kind of people the customers would be attracted to.
Although the pheromones they obtained were limited and general, they could only deduce the general type of customer they liked. However, pheromones were merely a means of promotion. The more important thing was the device that could access people's dreams. They would connect people who matched the customer's preferred type into their dreams. Because the scenes and scenery in dreams were generally familiar to the dreamer, they could deduce where the customer would appear based on the scene, and then..."
"A fateful encounter?" Thinking of what the girl sitting behind me said in class yesterday, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
"Um."
"...This Clara, you said she is a genius girl?" Qin Shu suddenly asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much, but if I had her ability, I probably wouldn't use it for this uh... holographic love game?"
As soon as Qin Shu finished speaking, Xu Wen couldn't help but nodded: "It's really a pity."
If you have this ability, even if you read more books, solve problems, and do research in your dreams, it is more promising than engaging in love scams.
"Hey, love games are so fun." Surprisingly, among the three people, the non-human Omir was the most interested in the topic of love.

"But what you just said was about obtaining pheromones, which means that this thing was not made by them?" Qin Shu yawned as she spoke.
"Yes, they bought it on planet A9011. Are you interested in it?" Omir was a little unsure of Qin Shu's preferences. Obviously, any of the previous points were more interesting than this topic, right?
"A9011, numbered star?" Qin Shu frowned.
Numbered stars are generally independent planets that have not joined any country or federation and are generally privately owned. People on such planets are often engaged in some gray or even black industries. They are synonymous with sin, chaos, but also wealth and opportunity.
"Well, it's located on the border of the Interstellar Federation and the Kopra Empire. Because it has the most famous black market in the entire Alpha Quadrant, even the Interstellar Federation and the Kopra Empire can't do anything about this planet. After all... interests are intertwined here. Do you think you are only dealing with the forces of a private planet? No, when you deal with it, you have inadvertently offended various forces. After all, in order to protect their own interests, some people will not play by the rules with you." Omir answered Qin Shu's question before Xu Wen.
"You seem to care about this matter?" Seeing that Omir had said everything he wanted to say, Xu Wen simply asked about other things.
Qin Shu couldn't help but yawn again. "What I'm concerned about is my mental health. I think I'm pretty good at self-regulation, but this overwhelming feeling of distress is a bit too strong."
"We've checked. We didn't find any suspicious ingredients in the food, nutrients, or what you call pheromones. As for the feeling of slump... Clara said it was related to the lighting and fragrance in the restaurant. Those things do have a hypnotic effect when combined with pheromones, but she herself doesn't know the details." Xu Wen replied.
"She doesn't know?"
"Well, according to her, this was done by their investor. They've never actually met this investor, only contacted him online, so they don't know anything about him. But this investor is incredibly powerful. The store's decoration, fragrances, and other things were all arranged by this investor. He even helped them upgrade the dream equipment system they developed. All they have to do is regularly hand over the dream data to this investor."
"Ask me, ask me, ask me who that investor is!" As soon as Xu Wen finished speaking, Omir shouted excitedly, as if he couldn't wait to share this secret with everyone.
Qin Shu paused for a moment, then quickly guessed: "Joker?"
Xu Wen: “!”
Omir: "Ah, you guessed it so easily? When Mr. Xu Wen and the others asked me, I said I wanted to be the first to tell you."
"You're just too excited."
Qin Shu always felt that these things were like beads scattered on the ground, and only a string was needed to connect them all.
But now they haven't found that thread yet.
Qin Shu always felt like she had overlooked something, but unfortunately she couldn't remember it for the moment.
"I want to go to the black market on planet A9011." Qin Shu finally spoke after thinking for a while.
"Just go if you want, boss. There's something good on the black market this time. It's really worth seeing." Omir said mysteriously.
"What good stuff?"
Omir chuckled twice. "It's something you like anyway. I guarantee you'll know what I'm talking about the first time you see it. It would be boring to explain it now. You know, I like to leave the answer to the mystery for the end."
"All right."
"When you come back from the black market, I'll be almost there too. I'll treat you to a wonderful show then."
"I won't watch anything that's not exciting enough." Seeing Omir's excited look, Qin Shu added calmly.
"Of course." Omir responded confidently.
"Are we going to planet A9011 now?" Xu Wen asked.
"The nearest black market opens at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If you leave now, you can arrive before it opens." Omir had obviously digested all the information about the black market and was still able to give advice at this time.
"Then let's go." Qin Shu didn't like to drag things out for too long, she liked to get things done quickly.
"I'll arrange it." Xu Wen nodded and agreed quickly.
Qin Shu also nodded, but she glanced back and her eyes fell on the man in the basketball jersey in the back seat. She asked the question she had always been curious about: "Since you have found Clara, why didn't anyone come to catch him?"
After all, he is Clara's accomplice, how can he be so free?
Xu Wen actually wanted to talk about this matter at the beginning, but because Omir kept taking the initiative to bring up the topic, Xu Wen was unable to get a word in, so he waited until now.
"Clara provided everyone's information, but the person you arrested was not among them, unless—"
"His information is fake." Before Xu Wen finished speaking, Qin Shu guessed the trick.
"That's right. Not only did he use a fake name, fake identity, and fake biometric information, but even... his current face is fake." Omir suddenly spoke.
Is the face fake too?
Qin Shu didn't think that when Omir said the face was fake, he meant plastic surgery or something like that. So it could only be that -
Qin Shu's gaze fell on the little puppy's face.
"Stop the car, let me check."
Seeing this, Xu Wen cooperated and parked the hover car on the side of the street.
Qin Shu unbuckled her seat belt and moved directly to the back seat. She then touched the man's face and finally felt an inconspicuous bulge behind his ear. As she pressed lightly, many blue electronic lines suddenly appeared on the man's face.
Qin Shu exerted force with her hands and actually tore off a layer of skin from the man's face, revealing the man's true face, which was very ordinary.
"What is this?" Qin Shu picked up the thin layer of skin and looked at it.
The texture of this skin is no different from real skin. If it weren't for the fine blue electronic lines that appeared on the skin when she tore it just now, Qin Shu would have doubted whether she had really peeled off someone's face.
It was also the first time that Xu Wen saw it. He took it from Qin Shu with some curiosity and looked at it carefully.
Omir gave a direct answer: "It's an electronic bionic mask. With it, you can change your appearance at any time. All you need to do is download a program to your device and pinch your face. It's also a great thing that can only be found on the black market."
Pinching the face.
Why does it sound more like a holographic love game?
"It seems that there are many advanced things in this black market..." Xu Wen couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
He didn't think that pheromones and the mask in his hand were things that one person could research on his own, but such things were only sold on the black market. It was a bit strange no matter how he thought about it. If it was for money, there were obviously better options, such as selling them to certain countries or specific forces. It would definitely make money faster than selling them on the black market.
It seems that I really have to visit this numbered star.
"Boss, you can go to A9011 with this mask. After all, your face is very famous in the interstellar world."
Qin Shu glanced at the electronic bionic mask in Xu Wen's hand and refused firmly, "No, I think it's dirty."
