"puff--"
Pegasus, who nearly choked Waldo on his drink, was looking at the familiar face on the financial news broadcast in the restaurant.
Seeing his real-life "enemy" Akabane, Tenma was almost scared to death.
This guy is acting all serious as a host interviewing the richest man in Haiyuan Star. He looks like a decent person, but he's actually up to no good.
The occasional hint of murderous intent that flashed in his eyes made even Pegasus want to say, "His acting is terrible!"
"What are you doing, you brat?"
Waldo, carrying his meal, had just dodged the attack when he turned around and saw that Pegasus showed no intention of apologizing. Instead, he was staring intently at the live financial news broadcast not far away.
"What's wrong? Did you lose money in the stock market?"
According to Waldo, something that could elicit such a strong reaction from the other party must mean either that they've made money or lost money.
The key is, if it were about making money, a smile would already be on his face, why would he be so surprised?
"No, um...this news anchor...he looks really familiar to me?"
Whether it was his imagination or not, Waldo could detect a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.
"How would I know? I'm not in the entertainment industry... wait, wait a minute, financial news anchors aren't in the entertainment industry either. But this guy is really good-looking, wow—you've got your eye on him?"
After asking this question, Waldo looked horrified and, before the other could refute, exclaimed, "Brother, are you... are you sure? This road is not easy! Have you thought it through? Before we go back, let me find an opportunity to show you around and make sure?"
"What the hell is going on?" Tianma was trying to confirm whether the financial news anchor was a player from their Alien Sea, but when he came to his senses, what was this NPC saying?
Want to broaden your horizons?
Is this something a soldier in your legion should say?
"I don't like men." Tianma stated seriously and solemnly, "I just felt like I recognized that host."
"Really?" Waldo smacked his lips, glanced at the financial news anchor, and turned to Pegasus. "Really?"
His eyes were full of suspicion, and then he heard Waldo say, "I remember you're from the Canglan Star Region, Pegasus, and he's from the Guangyu Star Region. How did you two meet? Online?"
"Everyone says he looks familiar, like I've seen him before, but I never said I knew him!"
Tenma's face turned red from holding it in; he felt that his lifelong innocence had been ruined by Akabane!
This guy, he really makes things difficult for me in real life, and it's the same in the game!
"But that's not right either. Who would have a feeling of déjà vu about a complete stranger?" Now it wasn't just Waldo, the NPC, who started the commotion.
The other NPCs also started exchanging knowing glances, and one even sighed, saying, "It's a pity that the Lightfeather Starfield isn't part of our Sixth Legion's territory, otherwise..."
As he spoke, the other person glanced at Pegasus, whose face was almost as red as an eggplant with anger, and teased, "Being closer gives you more opportunities~"
"Who can argue with that?"
Another NPC, having finished his meal, picked up a toothpick and, while cleaning his teeth, said, "The Lightfeather Starfield, ah, the starfield under the jurisdiction of the Third Legion, that's a rich place! If you succeed, the good life you'll lead will be... incredible!"
"I already said that's not what I meant!"
Pegasus was really driven crazy by this group of "old rascals"!
"Oh dear, oh dear, don't be angry, don't be angry~" Seeing that Pegasus was really angry, Waldo quickly tried to smooth things over, kicking each of his companions under the table while giving his junior a kind smile.
He pushed the meat that had been left on the table toward Pegasus and said, "Eat more before we go back to the legion~ You can't always eat good food outside whenever you want."
Seeing this, the others also very tactfully pushed the rest of the meat and other items in front of him, giving him kind and honest smiles.
"senior."
When he saw the other party coaxing him like a child, Tianma felt helpless. He was often so angry with these veterans that his nose was about to crooked, but the next second they would suddenly admit their mistakes and try to please him, leaving him with no way to vent his anger.
Moreover, Pegasus discovered that he actually quite liked this approach.
What are we going to do when we get back?
We just wiped out a group of space pirates, so we can't go back to work again, can we?
While eating, Tianma wondered what kind of test center the Sixth Legion was.
He's never been this frizzy in outer space, has he?
No wonder that many people who came from outside the outer seas during his years there hate the Sixth Legion so much, but most of them only spout nonsense on the dark web.
He's been here these past few days.
They chased the space pirates all the way to the Outer Sea, where they disposed of another batch of stolen goods. Afterward, they wandered around the Outer Sea to make sure there was nothing good to kill before leaving. They rested temporarily on a planet at the border of the Sixth Legion and the Third Legion and had a meal along the way.
This meal was the only decent meal he'd had in the past few days.
Moreover, something about the chatter of these people seems off.
"I don't know. The Major General recently returned to the Imperial Star, so we need to be careful to avoid them finding fault with us." Pegasus couldn't understand the roundabout way Waldo was talking.
The main problem is that the names don't match up with the real people.
However, the major general of the Sixth Army Corps was not at the base. Why did he feel like he had heard this somewhere before?
