Chapter 364 Ruler and SErso



No matter whether it is Green Eyes’ blood or not, the meaning of the guide’s words is clear enough: this is a treasure and you can collect it, but there are risks, so the price... must be lowered a bit.

The guide was so pleased to meet such a straightforward customer like Tu Ran that his face was filled with smiles.

"One hundred thousand star coins." he said.

One box costs 100,000 yuan, eight boxes cost 800,000 yuan.

Tu Ran, who had just arrived in this world and was not familiar with the prices here, asked cautiously, "What can you do with 800,000 yuan?"

“You can experience 99% of our business.”

"Does your family have a lot of business?" Tu Ran asked back.

The guide smiled meaningfully and said, "Compared with stores with similar business models, we have everything that other stores have, and we also have things that other stores don't have."

Tu Ran was quite satisfied. She stood up and slowly smoothed the wrinkled hem of her skirt. "Then let's go. Let me see your service."

The guide was delighted. Tu Ran said, "Doesn't this mean that the deal is successful?"

He immediately stood up, with a professional smile on his face, and made a gesture of invitation to Tu Ran and Tang Ying, saying enthusiastically: "For customers who have just joined the Ruler World, we have specially launched a one-stop service, covering basic services such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as some specially customized special services. Now I will take you to have a look."

As he spoke, he walked towards the light curtain outside the booth.

Tu Ran raised her foot and kicked the open metal box beside her feet. "These boxes are placed here?"

The guide turned around and explained, "After we leave, the boxes here will be collected by other waiters and taken to a designated place for verification. The money will also be deposited into your account. Oh, by the way...you haven't had time to apply for a ruler account yet, right?"

Tu Ran: "No, we just arrived."

"It's okay, we will do it for you for free. The eight hundred thousand will be credited to your account automatically, and all your spending here will be deducted from your account." The guide said considerately.

Tu Ran nodded, "Then lead the way."

The guide led them through the busy banquet hall, stepped on the bright and almost reflective floor, and pushed open a brown door.

"This is a shop selling essential equipment for travelers entering Junction City. What is the biggest difficulty you encounter when entering Junction City?"

The guide gave a passionate introduction and answered his own questions.

"It's just that we can't speak the same language! Junction City is home to hundreds of different species from different worlds, and each species has its own language. It's impossible to learn the languages ​​of all the species. Junction City doesn't have a designated official language, and everyone speaks their own language. If you want to travel freely in Junction City, a language interpreter is a must for everyone."

What catches your eye are rows of transparent display cabinets filled with a wide variety of merchandise.

The guide opened the door of a glass display case and took out a small object that looked like an earplug.

"The ruler's latest technology is a language interpreter. As long as it is a world that has signed a contract with the ruler, their language will be recorded in it. Wearing this language interpreter, there is nothing you can't understand, unless you don't want to listen."

Tu Ran just reached out her hand and wanted to pick it up to take a look.

The guide had already taken out the second one from the display case. "Two, the latest model, only two thousand star coins."

Tu Ran's hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, finally dropped, picked up two earplugs, and gave one to Tang Ying: "...put it on the account."

"Okay."

The guide spoke briefly to the waiter at the counter and then took them to the next place.

After a round of shopping, Tu Ran spent 20,000 star coins.

She bought two copies of some things that were essential for survival in the ruler's world, one for Tang Ying and one for her.

The prices are very reasonable too.

Her account has been set up and there are still 780,000 star coins left in the account.

Tu Ran also paid to listen to the development history of the entire world of rulers, the division of forces among various parties, racial characteristics, current situation, celebrity stories, foreign strategies, and part of the situation of other worlds that surrendered to the world of rulers.

Anyway, they understood everything they could. In three days and with fifty thousand star coins, Tu Ran and Tang Ying had a basic understanding of the world of rulers.

The 50,000 star coins were well spent, as not only were there professionals coming to explain these things to them in person every day, but the cost of their food, clothing and other expenses in the luxury suite were also included.

But Tu Ran knew that the real spending process had not yet begun.

What she had learned in these three days were all basic things. They were not secrets in the world of rulers and could be found out with a little inquiry. However, they spent money to learn here, which could save time in inquiring and ensure the accuracy of the information obtained.

Tu Ran did not forget the ultimate goal: the Order Cube.

In the massive amount of information she received during these three days, she did not hear any information about the fragments of the Order Cube. She did not even see the name of S. Erso on the list of nearly a thousand worlds occupied and destroyed by the Ruler Worlds.

The S·Erso galaxy was deliberately concealed by the rulers.

S. Erso's holy relic was taken away by the ruler, and the order of the universe collapsed. Only then was the ruler's world able to find and occupy so many other worlds in a short period of time. This information, which was enough to make the entire universe explode, was not leaked at all.

The rulers are also afraid that other worlds will unite after knowing the Order Cube.

They are not as confident as they think.

Tu Ran, who was sitting at the table looking through the list, thought of this and sneered.

Tang Ying, who was doing push-ups on the ground, heard the laughter and looked up at her in confusion.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Tang Ying got up from the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, grabbed the black robe on the back of the chair, put it on, covering his face, and pulled the door handle to open the door.

The guide stood outside with a smile on his face: "You are looking for me? Do you need any new service?"

"Come in and talk." Tang Ying moved sideways to make room.

"Okay." The guide stepped over the threshold.

Tang Ying closed the door behind him.

In the living room, Tu Ran was already sitting on the sofa, crossing her legs, watching the guide coming in. Tu Ran pointed to the sofa opposite, "Sit down and talk."

The guide sat down quickly, rubbed his hands, and looked at Tu Ran expectantly.

Tu Ran poured a drink and pushed it in front of him. "I've read all the information you sent me these days. It's very detailed, but it's not rare. I want some... secrets that ordinary people don't know." She raised her eyelids and said meaningfully, "Do you have it here?"

"Of course." The guide moved the drink on the table towards him, but did not drink it. "It's just that this price..."

“Price is not an issue.”

The guide immediately entered a professional state, took out the small notebook in his pocket and quickly flipped through it, "We have two ways of charging. One is to charge by time. The consultation fee is 100,000 star coins per hour. The other is to charge by question. There are three levels of questions, high, medium and low, which are 20,000 star coins per question, 5,000 star coins per question, and 1,000 star coins per question. Which one do you want to choose?"

Tu Ran tapped her fingers on the sofa, "The price is calculated by time." She had a lot of questions that she wanted answers to, and it would be more cost-effective to calculate the price by time.

"Okay, I'll call a professional to answer your questions right away. Please wait." The guide stood up, put the notebook back into his pocket, and left the living room.

Tu Ran and Tang Ying were the only ones left in the living room.

Tu Ran was still sitting on the sofa. She picked up a blank book on the table, lowered her eyes and quickly wrote down the questions she would ask later. Saving time means saving money. Although she is not short of money now, she doesn't know where she will have to spend money in the future, so every bit of money saved is a bit saved.

Tang Ying stood by the door with her eyes downcast, not knowing what she was thinking.

The doorbell rang quickly and she turned to open the door.

This time it was a waiter who came in.

He sat down where the guide had sat.

Tang Ying sat down on the sofa between him and Tu Ran.

Tu Ran raised her eyes from the notebook and looked at the face of the waiter opposite her.

His facial features are pleasing to the eye, but they are without any distinctive features. You would forget them as soon as you turn your head away.

But Tu Ran remembered this face, not for any other reason, but simply because this appearance appeared on the faces of all the waiters in this place. Even if they had plastic surgery, they could not make them so exactly the same. Moreover, their movements, postures, and voices were also the same.

If it were the previous Tu Ran, she would tend to think that they were robots produced from the same batch on the same production line, but with a slightly higher precision.

But now, after seeing the diversity of species in the universe, Tu Ran said: Well... everything is possible. Maybe the species in a certain world grow according to the same template?

"Are we about to start?" The waiter was putting a timer on the table. When he saw Tu Ran looking up, he asked hurriedly.

Tu Ran quickly came back to her senses from the other person's appearance, lowered her head and glanced at the dozen or so questions already listed on the paper, nodded, and said, "Let's get started."

The waiter adjusted his tie, sat up straight, pressed the timer, and looked at Tu Ran.

"Where does the Green Eyed Clan leader live?"

The waiter's eyes lost focus briefly and he looked in Tu Ran's direction, but Tu Ran didn't feel like he was being watched.

Tu Ran waited patiently. Three minutes later, he refocused his gaze. "Key Protection Area No. 111 in Green Eye Territory."

"Which planet is the Redtop Clan leader on now?" Tu Ran asked while spinning the pen.

It was still a long three minutes. "The Redcap Clan leader is in the Claude Nebula. He left for the Claude Nebula two months ago. He stopped transmitting his location a month ago. The last location he appeared was at the very edge of the Claude Nebula. We have no way of knowing his location now."

Tu Ran crossed out this question.

She didn't care about not getting an answer. She didn't plan to assassinate the leaders of the three races one by one.

The first two questions are just a preparation for the third question.

The pen tip paused on the third question, and Tu Ran stared at the waiter's facial expression, "When was the S. Erso galaxy destroyed?"

The waiter's eyes were blank and Tu Ran waited patiently.

"One thousand seven hundred and sixty-four years ago."

Tu Ran put down her crossed legs and looked at Tang Ying.

There is news from the S·Erso galaxy! She suppressed her excitement, kept a calm face and continued to ask: "What spoils did the rulers plunder?"

"Nothing was plundered. S·Erso is the ruler's old enemy. They have been at odds with each other for tens of thousands of years. They don't need anything from the S·Erso galaxy. They only want the S·Erso galaxy to be destroyed."

Tu Ran frowned: "Think about it carefully." S. Erso's sacred object was clearly taken away by the ruler.

The waiter thought about it for another five minutes and shook his head firmly.

I'm stuck on this question and can't ask any more questions after that.

Tu Ran threw the notebook back onto the table, crossed her arms, and added a question, "Who led the army to attack the planet S. Erso?"

"The Rulers have been at war with S.Erso for tens of thousands of years. The three major races native to the Rulers have led their armies to attack the S.Erso galaxy, and the S.Erso galaxy has also come to fight the Rulers." The waiter answered seriously.

Tu Ran emphasized, "Who led the final attack that destroyed the S. Erso galaxy?"

"The ninety-ninth leader of the Green Eyed Clan." The waiter looked at Tu Ran's face and added cautiously, "He is now dead. The current leader of the Green Eyed Clan is the one hundred and twenty-first."

Tu Ran took a deep breath, "Why has the S·Erso galaxy and its rulers been hostile for tens of thousands of years? Why has this information about the S·Erso galaxy been concealed?"

"The rulers have been committed to conquering the universe since they took their first step into space. The S. Erso system was the first star they encountered."

"When the rulers did not show hostility, S.Erso was very friendly and taught the rulers, who were obviously backward at the time, a lot of technology. The rulers' rapid development was inseparable from S.Erso."

"Later, when the rulers thought they were powerful enough, they began to covet the vast land and unlimited technology of the S·Erso galaxy and launched a war against S·Erso."

"It was deliberately concealed. The ruler probably didn't want the rest of the universe to know about his past weakness."

This reason can indeed explain part of the story, but Tu Ran, as an insider who knows that the ruler has stolen the sacred object of S. Erso, does not believe this explanation.

The rulers are just using this excuse to cover up the existence of the Order Cube.
