Chapter 1096: Same Star Track, Different World
It has been ten days since 058 arrived at "Xuliangxing", and he still feels like he is walking on thin ice.
Ten days ago, it was investigating the mausoleum wonder structure on the surface of the "Xuliang Four" star. 058 and 007 divided the work to deal with the inside and outside, it went to the surface of the star to scan the signal and make rubbing records, and 007 did sampling and analysis on the inner ghost corridor.
From the perspective of signal technology, the corridor of the dead is much more difficult, because it involves the identification and analysis of law trajectories, so it is handed over to 007 who is more skilled in technology. The spectacular buildings on the surface of the stars are divided into specific categories, which is more like a slow and meticulous job.
[Tianzun Star] appeared unexpectedly and projected to form a star well.
As energy was drawn from the tunnel, a huge black storm formed on the surface, connecting into the shadows of the stars in the sky.
058 observed and recorded carefully from a distance.
As a result, a signal group came to my ears.
[Because the land capacity is far above the average, you have been certified by "Tian Zun Xing" as an outstanding child. ]
[Transportation starts immediately...]
Before he could come to his senses, 058 was projected into a completely new world by the shadow of the star.
It found itself standing in a closed transparent jar, surrounded by identical containers on all sides.
There was no one else around, just 058.
It tried to get out, but was alerted as soon as it touched the transparent side wall.
【Please wait quietly. 】
【Star God is matching. 】
A moment later, a golden ball of light bloomed in front of 058's eyes, and a voice came from it.
"Xuliang Si can actually give birth to an outstanding child. I'm lucky today. You're mine."
The transparent side walls slowly disappeared.
058 was reminded again.
[Star God matching has been completed, and the one who claimed you is the second-level Star God: "God of Love" Venus. 】
Just like that, 058 unknowingly became a subordinate of the god of love and came to the City of Love governed by the god of love.
The City of Love is a city filled with the remains of wonders, most of which are half-finished products or have collapsed due to years of disrepair. It looks more like a city of ruins.
But the central area is completely different. The core is a brightly lit city within a city. There are rows of magnificent buildings. This area not only has artificial clouds, rain and sunshine, but also has lifelike vegetation and trees. Outside stands the broken-armed statue of Venus, the goddess of love.
The official residence of the god of love has ten bedrooms, six collection rooms, and eleven baths of different styles. All the functional buildings serve the only owner here. The outermost two-story houses belong to the subordinates of the god of love.
Venus likes 058 very much and takes it with her wherever she goes.
When he was resting, he asked 058 to guard outside the door, and when he was bathing, he asked 058 to serve as a waiter.
The bath of Eros is more like a kind of self-polishing.
He has eleven baths. Although their styles and characteristics are different, they are essentially spectacular buildings that use various energies to polish their bodies, more like training rooms.
Bathhouses are usually filled with rising heat and harsh scraping sounds.
At the end of each round of bathing, the tired Venus needs waiters to clean up the scene and apply paste to the surface of her energy body to reduce wear and tear and energy dissipation.
The god of love told it: "It is difficult to carry out natural material exchange in the star track, so you need to stick to this process yourself. If you can't discard the outdated old things and get new ones, then not only will the physiological structure tend to decay and decay, but the field of consciousness will also gradually become rigid and conservative. Without movement and change, life is very close to death."
"There is also a bath in your side hall, although it is a little small. Remember to bathe, it will keep you active."
058 said yes sir.
The God of Love does not only exist in the form of an energy body.
In formal banquets, the god of love will appear in full dress. He always appears with one arm, wearing an elegant and simple long skirt or robe. In the eyes of different people, the god of love has different appearances. He can be very close to the ideal form of beauty in the eyes of every life, thus winning the favor and closeness of everyone.
This is the power of love for God.
The reason why the God of Love doesn't usually do this is not because he can't, but because he's lazy.
"Do you know how much effort it takes to dress yourself up? Not only does it take time, but it also consumes a lot of energy. I also have to ensure that the God of Love is running efficiently, and I have to pay attention to everyone's feedback on me throughout the process."
"I usually have a more relaxed energy state without makeup. Beauty is a job for me."
He said so.
When visiting other jurisdictions for exchanges, Eros also brings 058 with him.
This kind of visit brings absolutely no benefits. The star gods waste all kinds of resources and energy of the second-magnitude star in the form of learning and communication - this is in line with the principles and norms of the star track.
In the Star God's residence, everyone is relatively restrained and polite at first, but after the polite exchanges, they get down to business as wild and unbridled.
There are three common forms of entertainment in Xuliang Star. The first is indulgence, where the star gods select some people to have sex with according to their own way, and then provide them for everyone to watch and enjoy. If they are interested, they will join in.
The God of Love watched this with great interest, and commented with the other Star Gods on who was more committed and full of tension, which shocked the newcomer 058.
Another is dueling. The duel between the members of the imperial guards is used to ease the conflict - but it is more of a way to kill boredom. Most of the outstanding members of the imperial guards died in the duel at the banquet.
058 I have asked this question privately.
It didn't understand, weren't the outstanding rankers sent to the second-class stars used to build wonders? They died for such a strange reason, so who would do the work? Venus said in a relaxed tone: "Second-class stars do not undertake any production capacity tasks. Our function at "Xuliang Star" is to develop new wonder buildings and improve efficiency through changes."
"What we actually need to do is consume as much energy and assets as possible, otherwise the next cycle will be calculated based on the consumption of this cycle. We can't use too much, but we can't use too little either, so we have to steadily increase spending. This is in the interests of "Xuliang Star" and all the Star Gods."
"It's not easy to develop a new structure, so don't take it too seriously. Just make some minor adjustments. Relax your shoulders. The third-class star is pure hard work, but the second-class star is a place of enjoyment. You have to slowly get used to it."
058 Only then did I realize that this was how those unfinished and damaged buildings in the City of Love came about.
It then thought: “Won’t this situation… attract scrutiny?”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“Of course there is censorship.”
Venus didn't care: "But all the functions of Xinggui must be carried out strictly in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. What we do is legal and reasonable. Is it against the regulations? No. It's just a necessary expense for communication and learning. Zhizi's death is also a result of life movement and change."
"The first-class star "Liang Pseudo-Dixiu" under the general supervision will monitor and investigate all second-class stars every cycle. Most of the star gods from that system understand us very well. Everyone for me, I for everyone, this is the survival law of the star gods."
He said softly, "But there are also a small number of Star Gods who try to change the existing order. Unfortunately, the order is not so easy to change. Instead, they will become the ones who are punished, or even lead to self-destruction due to dangerous operations."
"Star Gods have a special management system, and there is also a complex process for punishing Star Gods. The process is the most important rule here, and every survivor must study it."
"This is the way of survival for Xinggui. We must follow the laws instead of trying to forcibly change the laws of nature. We are not transcendent."
058My heart trembled.
It knew during its training in the magnetic sea that the star gods under the "Scales Pseudo-Dixiu Star" were responsible for supervising the investigation of other zodiac stars. The loss rate was extremely high, and many disappeared and died for unknown reasons, and there was a lack of manpower all year round. It seemed that it was indeed easy to touch the interests of other second-class stars, and to investigate beyond the star regulations would be a way to death.
The god of love took it everywhere to visit and answered all its questions.
This kind of love and care made 058 feel very uneasy. But he didn't dare to investigate the god of love, for fear of arousing the other's suspicion and vigilance.
"Lord God of Love, why do you appreciate me so much?" 058 asked.
Venus said: "I just like the freshness, new people will have freshness."
After the twelfth day, the god of love seemed to have completely forgotten about number 058, and even prevented it from entering or leaving the official residence. Other officials told it that the god of love was like this, and you had been with it for a long time. Some of them had a close relationship on the first day, but hated it or even locked it up on the second day.
This actually made 058 feel greatly relieved.
On the fourteenth day, Eros went out to visit and study, and 058 finally seized the opportunity to start sending signals with the magnetic sail. The weak signal was mixed with other signals in the void, and it would not be captured and analyzed by the Zodiac Star. This was also the confidence for it to go deep behind enemy lines to do intelligence work.
"This is 007, where are you, 058?"
The long-lost signal from comrades in the magnetic field made 058 excited.
It told 007, who was far away in "Xuliang 4", about its own experience.
007 responded immediately.
"Your information is of great significance. Please continue to hide and stay safe. For safety reasons, please pass your information to me first, and I will send it to the headquarters via weak signals."
058 thought to himself that this was indeed a safe method.
It briefly summarizes the new intelligence obtained.
"First-class stars don't have star gods, only star officials. The others are shadows. Auxiliary stars will only allow them to approach when they need repairs and maintenance. The main star is the center of the star track and has its own system."
"The governance method of the second-class stars is that the regional star gods independently manage them, and expand the human resource reserve by absorbing outstanding order children, but there is an extremely serious redundancy, and the operation is slow and bloated."
"The Star Gods are divided into three levels, with level one being the lowest and level three being the highest. Different levels have different areas of jurisdiction and the number of rank children they can have."
"Third-class stars have the highest labor intensity and are also the core production areas, and the living environment is also the worst."
It suddenly remembered that it had missed an important piece of information.
"In addition, some of the Old Gods were created here using the [First Law of the Old Gods]. I learned this when I attended the banquet. However, the main crown is very mysterious. The Star Gods also like to chat about these things. They basically believe that the main crown is directly manufactured and distributed by the first-class stars."
007 said.
"Keep in touch and stay hidden. I will report to headquarters immediately."
