322 ? The eleventh store

322 The Eleventh Store

◎Why is that guy here?◎

Lu Yao expected the Knight to have plenty of money, but she didn't expect him to be so generous. Ku Ku picked up a dozen books, which cost nearly a million Star Coins.

She did intend to scare him, but the Knight's reaction was more intense than expected, and he was completely different from the rebellious criminal who had caused trouble some time ago.

The Knight carefully looked at the owner's face, feeling uncertain.

He was not afraid of death, but was extremely afraid of the unknown.

The Knight already knew that the owner was not interested in computers, but such a person sneaked into the prison quietly. He couldn't imagine what she was up to, and became more and more terrified.

Lu Yao didn't know that the knight was struggling fiercely. After scanning the code to pay, he picked up the books on the floor, carefully put them into a palm-sized black card, and handed it to the knight.

"The bookstore has newly developed a book card with space storage and concealment functions. Because you bought more than ten books at a time, you are given one. However, there are special rules attached to the book card. The space storage function is limited to storing books. Since you are a regular customer of the store, you will be given an extra book within the specified range. Please choose one of the two specified books."

The book card is a new product that Lu Yao has just developed. Combining her shadow ability and the space technology of the star field, the card is small and easy to store, and more convenient than a special book bag.

Storage cards and special book bags are props developed by Lu Yao specifically for guests in the three inner island areas. At least before completing the system mission, the guards must not discover the books in the cell.

The knight listened carefully to the shopkeeper's words, looked up and saw the two books the shopkeeper brought out. One was a new book he had never seen before, with a fresh cover and a title that exuded a funny innocence, called "What kind of life do you want to live", and the other was "The Veil" that made his scalp tingle.

The knight closed his eyes and pointed to Lu Yao's left hand.

"The Veil" was his nightmare, and this book would never appear on his book list.

Lu Yao handed over the book "What Kind of Life Do You Want to Live" and bowed slightly to the knight: "Thank you for your patronage, and I look forward to your next visit."

The strange door opened and closed, and the knight watched the owner disappear into the cramped cell. The shadow covering the chain did not disappear, and he still held the dark card and a book in his hand.

The knight sat up slowly and tried to stuff the book into the card. It was really a space storage card.

On Guandao Island, jailers and prisoners are not allowed to carry space rings, but the owner actually made a space storage card and handed such a thing to these inner island prisoners.

The knight couldn't help but have a malicious expectation. The owner was so crazy that he came in early to be his prison buddy. He hoped that the shop owner would be exposed later, because books are hard to come by

, and they are the only entertainment in this endless prison. Before being discovered by the jailer, the knight took out the book that had just been stuffed into the book card, sat on the floor where the moonlight leaked through, and began to read it page by page. The room of AO-17 was separated from the knight by half a corridor. Lu Yao, Harold and Lingliu wandered in the quiet corridor and saw robots that were not seen in other areas, alien monsters, mechanical bodies that looked like humans but not humans, and robots with strange shapes that floated in the air in groups like insects. Lu Yao learned a lot of common sense about the star field through Duther's mechanical eyes. In addition to robots and native humans, this star field also has countless different humanoid intelligent races and alien intelligent creatures. Many of the prisoners in the second area prison were originally humanoid intelligent species or alien intelligent creatures. Humanoid intelligent species and alien intelligent species have unique aesthetic tastes for the appearance of mechanical bodies. Compared with native humans, their tastes are bizarre and alien, and they can be easily distinguished from their appearance. However, native humans, humanoid intelligent creatures and alien intelligent creatures have all been unified into two forms, robots and native creatures, by mechanical bodies. Lu Yao had to admire the dominance of mechanical technology in the star field. Harold pulled Lu Yao's arm: "Do you want to try to sell him a book?" They were passing by a cell, and the prisoner in the cell seemed to have noticed something. The spider-like head had six mechanical eyes, and the eyeballs moved around, and the line of sight was always following them closely. Lu Yao stopped, turned around and motioned Harold to open the door. Emosinges looked blankly at the human who suddenly invaded his private space. After nine years, he actually met a native human in prison. Almost instantly, Emosinges became excited, and the mental chains running through his brain vibrated faintly. The shadow under Lu Yao's feet stretched into a thin line, and flew out like an arrow from a bow, tightly entwining the chain, and swallowed up all the light on the chain in an instant. The chain drooped and fell limply from the middle of the bed to the floor. Emosingus was so surprised that he blurted out, "Are you from the Temple?" The guest used the universal language of the star domain, but his accent was a bit strange, but Lu Yao understood. But what kind of power is the Temple? Lu Yao lowered his eyelids, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and did business as usual: "The mobile bookstore is open for a limited time. Would you like to buy a book?" Emosingus tilted his head and looked at Lu Yao: "Are you not from the Temple?" Lu Yao suddenly remembered that Dus had complained to the green-eyed man named Deus several times. There was a group of people outside who worshipped Deus as a god, and Deus's subordinates were also classified as followers of God. Does Temple mean "canning factory"? Lu Yao: "The mobile bookstore is open for a limited time. Would you like to buy a book?" Emosinges: "..." After a moment of silence, Emosinges paid half of his attention to the half of the bookshelf behind Lu Yao. After a long time, he reached out and took down a thin book. Lu Yao smiled: "You have a good eye. This is a new book that will be officially put on the shelves tomorrow. The price is very affordable." Emosinges held a copy of "Seasonings" and lowered his eyes to observe. He quickly glanced at the words on the cover and turned to the back. Under a short but very interesting text, the price tag of "Price 19,000 Star Coins" was particularly eye-catching. Emosinges didn't fully understand the meaning of the book, but such a thin and strange board cost 19,000. He couldn't help but wonder if the prices outside have inflated to this extent? Emosingus glanced at Lu Yao, said nothing, and reached out to take down two more books. He looked at the back and saw that the price was 77,000 star coins.

The list price is 99,000 star coins.

Emosingus was speechless. The first copy he got was the cheapest one.

Not knowing what the thing in his hand was for, Emosingus decided to buy one.

He was able to sneak into the mobile stalls in the inner island area of ​​Guandao. Even if it was weird, he had no reason to refuse.

The customer clicked on the star ring to pay, and Lu Yao took out the book card in time: "This is a special book card developed by the store. It has a storage space built with special rules. It can store up to 3,000 physical books. The card is small and has hidden spiritual power, which makes it very easy to store. The original price is 59,000 star coins, and now it is on sale for only 19,000 star coins."

Emosingus felt a little powerless, but also very fresh.

He had never seen such a greedy high-level native ability user.

However, things like space cards are much more valuable in Guandao than the pile of more expensive books behind her.

Just because she was able to bring them in from outside, the price of 19,000 per card is like giving it away for free.

Emosingus said no more, and took the book card from Lu Yao's hand in a haughty manner, indicating payment.

The second order was successfully completed, and the mobile bookstore left quietly again.

The room returned to silence, and Emosingus began to study the book in his hand.

He clumsily tore open the plastic cover, and then he found that there were words inside.

Emosingus took a few steps towards the light, turned back to the first page from the last page of the book, sat down and began to read, reading ten lines at a glance.

Perhaps because he had been detained for too long, Emosingus actually felt that the words on the pages of the book had a special flavor to read.

The alien robot, who had only received basic education, was originally very disgusted with human culture. After leaving the basic education community, he never touched any electronic data with text as the main carrier of his own will.

Emosingus was not even interested in serialized online novels, but now he was holding a physical paper book, page after page, and he couldn't stop reading. In a few minutes, he had turned to the end of the book that was less than a finger thick.

Emosingus suddenly felt a little depressed. The happiness bought with 19,000 star coins was gone so quickly.

After sitting there blankly for a while, Emosingus turned back to the first page and couldn't help sighing. If he had known that books were this kind of thing, he should have bought a few more.

The knight who was several rooms away from Emosingus was very happy at this moment. The happiness of a small million star coins was enough for him to be happy for the whole night.

----

Lu Yao continued to walk along the corridor for a hundred steps, but did not meet the right guest. The question from the guest just now kept circling in her mind, which made her feel a little uneasy for some reason.

Lu Yao suddenly turned around and grabbed Harold's wrist, whispering: "Let's go to the first area now."

Harold: "Huh? So sudden?" Lu Yao

nodded: "I always feel that time is running out. Are you scared?"

Harold sneered: "What a joke."

As soon as the voice fell, he looked down at the mini cleaning robot clinging to Lu Yao's legs: "I think it's best not to bring it."

Lingliu is short and fat, with a patch on his head, big and round eyes, and his stubby mechanical claws are tightly pulling at the hem of Lu Yao's down jacket, revealing a bit of pity in his confusion. Lu Yao

bent down and picked up Lingliu, urging Harold: "There is no time to go back and forth, and he won't cause trouble, let's go."

----

In the first area, at the end of the corridor deep in the darkness, the door was pushed open from the wall.

In the guard duty room on the first floor, the guard on duty paused slightly as he turned the pages of a book. After a moment, he seemed to sigh, picked up a piece of metal on the table and pressed it between the pages of the book, closed the book and stood up.

After guarding Guandao for twenty years, this was the first time he caught someone who sneaked into the prison in Area 1 at night. The man who had been locked up in the underground cell for twenty years might have a cellmate. Entering

Area 1, Harold opened the door at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the prison for the first time.

This floor is also the only floor on the ground among all the cells in Area 1.

After successfully entering Area 1, Harold immediately selected new coordinates and opened the second door, this time on the second underground floor.

The cells in Area 1 are completely different from the other areas. The rooms on both sides of the corridor are reinforced with special black metal, with only two fist-sized viewing ports for ordinary adults. There are also heavy mental chains on the outer wall of the metal wall and the viewing port .

Lu Yao estimated that the cells in Area 1 are only one-sixth the size of the cells in Area 2. There are no ventilation holes inside or outside, and they are as dense as a tomb.

Harold stood outside a cell and looked in through the viewing port. It was as dark and empty as the outside. In the middle of the cell, a palm-sized box was tied with chains, and a faint halo of light shone through the gap of the ink box.

Harold frowned, not understanding what it was.

Lu Yao came over and tiptoed to look inside.

She also saw the glowing little box and murmured in a low voice: "It really looks like an urn."

Harold: "Do you know what that is?" Lu

Yao nodded: "Probably a computer."

She also didn't expect that the way prisoners were detained in the first area was so unique. Even the mechanical bodies were stripped away, and only the prisoners' spiritual bodies were confined in a special space.

The uneasiness in Lu Yao's heart almost became a reality. How could she do business in this situation?

Lu Yao suddenly raised her hand and pressed the back of her neck. The cells in Area 1 were colder than any other area. Since she stepped into here, the cold air went straight up from the soles of her feet, and the chill was piercing her bones.

The temperature around seemed to be still dropping, and an uncontrollable shudder broke out from the back of her neck.

Lu Yao felt something was wrong.

A strong gust of wind blew in her face, and Harold and Lingliu blocked her way almost at the same time.

Lights slowly lit up on both sides of the corridor, and a figure walked down the side corridor.

The leather boots rubbed against the smooth floor, and the sound was extremely light, as if he was strolling leisurely in the garden, but the pace was extremely fast.

The soft and warm light shone on Lu Yao's feet, and Ya Luan stepped down the last step.

Ya Luan was wearing a humanoid mechanical body, over 1.9 meters tall, covered with simulated skin all over his body, and even his face was made of extremely simulated materials. Unfortunately, his face was stiff, and like ordinary robots, he could not make expressions freely. He looked a bit scary under the light.

He tilted his head to scan the empty corridor and walked straight towards Lu Yao.

Harold frowned and said in a deep voice, "We've been discovered."

The shadow ring was still ineffective, but the prison guard had obviously detected their presence.

Perhaps it should be said that this was worthy of being the First District. Whether it was the defense of the prison or the ability level of the prison guards, they were incomparable to other areas.

Harold was about to open the door and send Lu Yao back to the store first.

Although he had joked a few times that the little robot would be blamed when the situation was not right, he knew that this method would not work.

Lu Yao shook his head: "There is no way to leave if we are discovered."

Regardless of whether they were actually caught today, once the news that someone had sneaked into the First District was leaked, it would only be a matter of time before the bookstore was suspected.

If there was a problem with the bookstore, the mission would not be done.

Leaving now would not solve the problem. What needed to be solved was the person in front of him.

Harold shook his wrist lightly and walked in front of Lu Yao: "Don't move, I'll do it."

He took two steps and was forced to stop. He looked down and saw the little robot that was only as high as his knees. His brows were knitted: "What are you doing?"

Lingliu poked Harold's knees with his two little claws and pushed him back.

Harold was pushed back to Lu Yao's side. The little robot moved to Lu Yao's feet, slowly squatted down and curled up into a ball, and suddenly stopped moving.

Harold almost laughed angrily, pointing at the short and stout lump at Lu Yao's feet: "Is this guy's program broken?"

Lu Yao didn't say anything.

The prison guard in front of him stopped abruptly, bowed slightly, and bent his body forward in a defensive posture.

Harold turned his head, his deep blue eyes shrank slightly, and he looked back at Lu Yao in disbelief: "Why is that guy here?"

The round mini cleaning robot was still squatting at Lu Yao's feet, motionless, as if it had turned into a pile of scrap metal.

A young man with silver hair and a black robe appeared at some point, standing between Lu Yao, Harold and the jailer, with a straight back.

Even without seeing his face, Lu Yao and Harold knew that the young man had a pair of blood-red eyes that were more beautiful than rubies. Harold

stared at the young man's back, then lowered his head to look at the pile of scrap metal on the ground. Thinking of Lu Yao's inexplicable love for this mini cleaning robot, he suddenly realized.
