Ganuo was already used to Xi Yujin's erratic thoughts, and answered seriously: "The pilot ship is moving at super high speed. If you jump off the ship rashly, there is a high possibility of an accident."
"Well, I should have known that this day would come." Xi Yujin said, "Fortunately, I have completed the full score of survival skills..."
He asked the staff how long the journey would take, and decided to broadcast the ancient books in eighty chapters. After eighty chapters, they would announce that the archaeology of Blue Star had reached a bottleneck and there would be no more, so they would get off the ship and run away.
Why does it feel like traveling in the universe is a constant process of escaping and preparing to escape?
Xi Yujin fell into a strange state of contemplation.
Jung's recording is still going on. She introduced the major breakthrough of the office this year. They found the most historical version of "Dream of Red Mansions" from the damaged and malicious false backup data, which will be released to the citizens of Blue Star for research in the near future. She also introduced the special features of this ancient book on behalf of her colleague Qiongtian. It is not only a humanistic novel that brings together traditional culture, but also has a superb writing style, a huge structure, and a complicated plot. The fake-realistic method has attracted many readers to read and study it, forming Redology.
The alien creatures didn't quite understand what was being said, but because the atmosphere set up before was so good, they all cheered in front of the light computer, wishing they were citizens of the Blue Star who were qualified to read.
The races that had already met Xi Yujin once in the black market received a notification from the giant ship staff and learned that the auction item was exactly this ancient book. Their mood soared like a roller coaster ride.
This time, even if they didn't understand, they pretended to understand the artistic value of "Dream of Red Mansions" and tried their best to take a picture of the paper airplane. It was a literary treasure that embodied the history of Blue Planet!
"How many ship coins do we have left?"
"I won't buy any more military maps. I'll save them and use them to take pictures of that ancient book. We may not be able to encounter that civilization, but the chance to touch the Blue Star civilization is right before our eyes!"
Many creatures in the sailing team immediately took action. Even the alien who had stopped Xi Yujin was terrified and kept saying that he must find a chance to apologize later.
The races that have never set foot in the black market are much more relaxed. They don't think they will have the opportunity to see the ancient books of Blue Star, but it would be great if they could establish diplomatic relations with the Blue Star race. Even if it is just superficial friendship during festivals, they are very happy.
According to the instructions of the Blue Star official website, the creatures contacted Yu Jin, hoping to establish a friendly relationship through book diplomacy. Unfortunately, the Blue Star said that there are too many diplomatic needs recently, and their official novelists do not have that much time. However, they can change to another diplomatic mode and participate in the joint development of "Investigator Files".
Creatures who want to engage in diplomacy can submit stories about their own races to Blue Star. As long as the overall atmosphere meets the requirements, the manuscripts can be accepted, and Ms. Jung will revise them into game texts as soon as possible. This is Blue Star's new way of diplomacy, game cooperation.
The creatures excitedly agreed. After only a few days, Investigator Files had added 34 new game modules and published nearly 2,000 game process records on related websites, which shows how popular it is. It has truly become a hot topic on this giant ship trip.
In the conversations of many creatures, they seemed to regard Blue Planet as an advanced civilization that could not be offended. After they disembarked, the name of Blue Planet would spread through their mouths in the universe. By then, Blue Planet would truly exist.
Xi Yujin, who had been concerned about everyone's direction, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does this mean the danger is over?"
Xi Yujin planned to stay in Chaoping and type for a while before going out.
His recent work has been relatively easy. Jung is responsible for adapting the game script, Fu Ling is responsible for selecting poems, and Qiong Tian has begun to reproduce "Dream of Red Mansions". There is not much that requires thinking.
The only difficulty is translation.
Ganuo had already learned most of the usage of Chinese, but after reading the first chapter of "Dream of the Red Chamber", a big question mark immediately popped up in his head.
When Xi Yujin saw Ganuo's indescribable expression for the first time, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said that he would write the interpretation.
One of the characteristics of "Dream of Red Mansions" is that it has many riddles and metaphors, and every sentence has a corresponding meaning. The details are so rigorous that it makes people's scalps numb. Therefore, it can be read in many ways. Some people read it as a love story, and the golden and jade marriages and the previous alliances are all sigh-worthy, and the human relationships are written very well; some people read it as an encyclopedia of feudal society, and every time they write ancient Chinese novels, they have to extract something from it; and some people read it as a collection of puzzles, first guessing what the answer to the comments inside is, whether it uses the method of splitting characters, or is it ironic or contrasting, and what the foreshadowing here corresponds to the following plot, and this little joke of the character is a hint that the two characters are having an affair... It is precisely because the structure of the whole work is so rigorous that it can bewitch so many readers.
A more famous version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is the copy and commentary version by Zhi Yanzhai. It can be seen as Zhi Yanzhai copying and commenting on the many foreshadowings in "Dream of Red Mansions". There is a saying that Zhi Yanzhai is the author himself, who deliberately gave the title to the readers.
In later times, due to the diversification of publishing houses, there were many versions of commentaries on the Zhiben version of Dream of the Red Chamber. First, there was the main text of Dream of the Red Chamber, then the commentary by Zhi Yanzhai, and then the commentary by a modern scholar. Occasionally, the modern scholar would also include some personal opinions. If the version was more chaotic, you could also see modern scholar A's comments on modern scholar B. The reading experience was very strange, as if a group of literati were quarreling in public.
The text of Dream of the Red Chamber is exquisite, and the difficulty of translation is increasing. So Xi Yujin plans to take a shortcut and only translate the general meaning now, and let the aliens study the specific content themselves. The aliens in this universe travel every day, and each creature has mastered more than a dozen languages. It is not difficult to learn Chinese. If his translation skills improve later, he will make supplements.
"There are many more studies on the Redology... maybe I can use the pseudonym to talk about these studies?"
Xi Yujin decided to publish a new discussion area in the next issue of Reader to let the vests come out and participate. He finally had some free time.
After the discussion about Blue Star had subsided a bit, he went out with Ganuo to walk around. The pilot ship also had many recreational boats, such as the simulated star baking boat, the simulated shooting boat, the buffet boat... Xi Yujin went to the buffet boat the most, and was very curious about the alien food, although he was repeatedly discouraged by the strange appearance of the alien food.
Some races are busy preparing for the auction.
Finally, the second auction of this voyage began, and a black-gold invitation letter was also delivered to the door of the Chaoping.
Xi Yujin said that he didn't want to go to the auction site as it reminded him of unpleasant things, so he decided to just stroll around the black market.
This time the staff member did not dare to rush and agreed with a smile on his face.
Inside the auction, a small paper airplane was placed on a purple velvet tray, and several gentle lights made it look extremely noble.
On the surrounding stairs, many creatures with red skin were holding up signs for auction, and it seemed that they would start fighting each other at any second.
The staff's clappers kept ringing.
"2000 ship coins per time! Is there a higher price?"
"Thank you, seller No. 77, for the 3,000 ship coins! Any more? 5,000 ship coins!"
"8,000 ship coins per time! This is truly an unprecedentedly high price! But Blue Star is worth it, as are many advanced civilizations!"
In the auction warehouse, the white eggs moved in the huge cube container. A passing staff member felt that the constant temperature lights above them were a bit wasteful, so he turned off half of them. The water temperature in the cube container immediately dropped.
One of the eggs broke, and a black ball of thorns rolled out. This creature is a ball of thorns in the water, and the thorns on land will break down and soften into a black coal ball.
After the fierce auction, the winner walked out of the door with a proud look on his face, while the other creatures looked defeated and depressed. The staff happily found Xi Yujin and Ganuo and congratulated them on their acquisition of 9,800 ship coins.
"Can ship coins be exchanged for dust sand?" Xi Yujin was not sure whether the price was high or low.
"Ship coins are only valid on our ship." The staff answered truthfully.
Even if Xi Yujin went to another pilot ship, he couldn't use these ship coins. They were exclusively for a temporary and private small black market.
"If I don't spend them all in the black market, these ship coins will be just like waste paper?" Xi Yujin thought for a while and decided to do something he always wanted to do but couldn't do - he wanted to buy out the black market!
…
"Yes, pack up all the lightsabers here and send them to my ship."
"I have money, give me three sets of Star Pirate Suit. In our Blue Star culture, attacking stars is wrong."
"Don't you have any more of this exoskeleton armor? Okay, then I'll buy one too..."
Xi Yujin cleared out the primary black market. The load-bearing capacity of the Chaoping is extremely high, so there is no need to worry about not being able to put it down.
He returned to the Tide Flat and happily unpacked the package, but happiness was always short-lived.
"Gano! I was cheated! It turns out that this exoskeleton needs other power to operate! I bought it for nothing!" Xi Yujin once again felt that the aliens were very cunning. If anyone said that the aliens didn't know how to do business, he would throw out evidence to refute them. Now he could only complain to Ganuo.
Although the exoskeleton only cost 10 ship coins, Xi Yujin still felt bad about the money he lost. In the black market, once the goods leave the display shelf, there is no after-sales service, Xi Yujin can only suffer the loss, and his enthusiasm for continuing to shop has dropped a lot.
Ganuo never knew how to deal with Xi Yujin at this time.
"Yu Jinnuo, do you like armor very much?" Ganuo reasoned rigorously and found a very reliable method. "Although the King Armor of Ers cannot be driven by other races, it should be able to last for one or two seconds when partially loaded."
Xi Yujin felt a little embarrassed: "This should be a very important thing for your race."
Gano stopped to think again. He felt that he did not have a deep sense of ethnic honor, so he chose to leave the tribe. Realizing this, he thought slowly and blankly for more than ten minutes before telling Xi Yujin that it was okay.
Xi Yujin was always very tolerant of Ganuo's slow thinking and never interrupted him. He waited for Ganuo to activate the armor with some anticipation and anxiety. To be honest, he liked Ganuo's armor as soon as he saw it.
I saw the ancient black armor unfolding in the air, and the scarlet lines were faintly visible like magma.
Then Gano took off his coat, revealing the vest underneath. His thin and strong muscles were faintly visible as he moved.
Xi Yujin was stunned. Is this some kind of alien etiquette?
After taking off his coat, Gano moved his hands, his eyes inadvertently showing a hint of aggression and wildness, while mysterious lines appeared on his shoulders and neck.
The next second, the pattern came to life, as if upgraded from two dimensions to three dimensions, and a pair of transparent bone wings flapped as if ready to fly.
