Chapter 233
"Father Xiong, good afternoon." Ji Lin showed a cute and flattering expression, raised his insect claws and waved at him.
Ji Wei smiled gently, pretending to be slightly surprised and said, "So you still remember that you have a heroic father?"
"I thought that those who wandered outside had forgotten that they had a home."
Ji Lin shuddered in his heart. No matter whether he looked mature and steady outside, when he was in front of his handsome father, he was still a little bug who was afraid of his father.
Fortunately, I found a place where no one was around to answer the call, otherwise if other bugs saw me, I would be shameless.
He laughed it off, trying to ignore the fact that he had run away from home and not returned.
"Hahaha, how could that be? Father Xiong, how could you slander me like this." Ji Lin blinked, and pinched himself hard with the hand under the camera, making his eyes red.
"I'm out there, and I think about my father every day."
"Father, don't you miss me?"
Ji Wei felt amused. If he didn't know what this little bug was thinking, he wouldn't be his heroic father.
But I still feel sorry for the bugs out there, and I wonder if there are any other bug cubs suffering.
"Really? You think about your father every day? Then why don't you go home after you come back?"
Ji Lin knew that he was halfway through the process of running away from home, and he immediately felt much more relaxed. He scratched his head and said, "Who said I don't want to go home? Isn't this a bit inconvenient?"
He guessed that his father knew about this, probably because 001 said something.
"The other bugs don't go home. It would be bad if I went back to see you."
001 didn't say much about Ji Lin's situation, but only briefly mentioned that some Zerg had returned from outside Tianyun Star, including Ji Lin.
"By the way, Father Xiong, is the terminal easy to use? I specially selected the best one for you."
"This model has the most comprehensive features. In addition to the basic functions, it also has many additional functions. You can make good use of them."
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me these days, and you can seek help online later." Ji Lin held his chin with both hands, looking for praise.
Ji Wei asked, "Where are you from?"
He knew his own insect cub and knew that he was not the kind of male insect that would act recklessly, but this thing obviously didn't even have a unicorn, so where did the little insect cub come from?
“It’s the official way.”
Ji Lin smiled: "Don't worry, Father Xiong. Similar items should appear in the material exchange items later. However, most of them are basic models. Upgraded versions like this are more expensive."
"I bought this for you with my salary, specially, um, as a gift to you."
Ji Lin thought about it and decided that these were not things that he couldn't tell Xiong's father. Anyway, once the gray fog spread across Tianyun Star, some internal information would soon spread.
"You know, I ran away from home because I went to look for a job."
No, actually it was Xiao Ba who directly put the job in my hands, and I ran away because I was tempted.
Well, after all, I was already an adult by then.
Adult insects do not need to consult the guardian insects when making decisions. Even if the guardian insects disagree, it cannot be called running away. It should be called insisting on one's own wishes due to disagreements.
"If you have a job, you have to go to work. If you work, you will get paid."
"The basic monthly salary is 3,000 credits, and there are bonuses and performance bonuses for good work. You can rest assured and enjoy your retirement on Tianyun Star. Let me support you."
Ji Wei felt both amused and angry after hearing this.
"Credits? What's that?"
"And do I need you to raise me? Haven't we been raised by the Unicorn people all along? Otherwise, how do you think you grew up?"
The female insects in the gathering place also need to do various things to support themselves, and even regularly hand over some to feed the male insects in Area 1. Adult male insects are more or less aware of this.
"Well, you don't know this, father."
Ji Lin thought about what he had heard and looked at Xiong's father who knew nothing about it. He felt that he had to give Xiong's father a shot of prevention.
Otherwise, once your policy is implemented, it will probably cause a lot of complaints, especially among male insects.
It just so happened that his male father had a good relationship with other male insects, and was considered a male insect with more say among the male insects in Area 1. With his male father mediating, the situation would not be too ugly.
“Credit points are a new monetary system that will gradually replace the current exchange system.”
Ji Lin thought this would be a long story, so he looked around and said to Xiong's father, "Wait a minute, I'll find a quiet place to sit down and talk to you."
"I believe you will be very interested in what I have to say."
No one knows a father better than his son. Ji Lin’s current character is inseparable from his heroic father.
Seeing Ji Lin like this, you know that Ji Wei is not a useless male insect who only knows how to eat, sleep and lay eggs, and has no opinions of his own and only knows how to boss people around.
The camera on the Jilin side began to shake, and as Ji Lin ran, the camera began to move up and down to capture the surrounding environment.
Ji Lin was inside the starship. He was originally standing in the deserted corridor outside the main control room to answer the call. He was standing still and could only see the smooth metallic wall behind him.
Now, as he moved, the entire layout of the starship came into Ji Wei's sight.
That was something that Ji Wei, who lived on Tianyun Star, had never seen before. Although he was more conscious than other male insects to understand some things that male insects should not know, due to the blockade of the unicorn people, he could only see things in a fog.
He guessed the environment the male insect cub was in at the moment, and memorized everything that appeared on the screen in his mind without blinking.
Before he even realized why he did it, he had already memorized it.
He also saw a young man wearing clothes similar to those of the male insect cub in the picture. When they met, Ji Lin smiled and nodded to the other party as a greeting.
It was at this time that Ji Wei noticed that the clothes on the male insect cub were a little different.
He had a good memory, and even though they had passed each other for only a few seconds, he could quickly remember the difference after a little recollection.
Compared to the young man who brushed past Little Bug, their clothes were generally the same style, but... there was a difference in the position of the left chest and epaulettes.
Ji Lin in the starship didn't notice the silence on his father's side, and was thinking about the female insect he had just met.
If it were any other time, he would probably say hello to the other person, but at this moment he was more anxious to go back to his room and have a good chat with his father, so he really didn't have time to exchange pleasantries.
The time I have left on Tianyun Star is getting less and less every day, and I don’t know when I will have to set off.
I must seize this rare free time and chat more with my father.
——He had guessed early on that after 001 gave the bug terminal to Xiong's father, Xiong's father would call him, so he deliberately cleared this period of time.
Otherwise, he would have a lot of work to do, so how could he answer the call just in time when Xiong's father contacted him, and even have time to act coquettishly and chat with Xiong's father?
After entering the elevator inside the starship, going down to the living area, returning to your room and closing the door.
Being the guild president does have its advantages, for example his room is a single room, not a shared dormitory.
Ji Lin turned the camera towards himself: "Father Xiong, are you still there?"
"Yeah." Ji Wei came back to his senses.
Ji Lin: "I'm in my room now, Father Xiong, look..."
The camera turns and looks around the room.
The room was a single room, but not that big. On the left was a slightly wider single bed, next to a cabinet built into the wall, and on the right was a separate bathroom.
With just one glance, you can take in all the places.
You can tell at a glance that it is a room for a single person.
The camera wandered around and returned to Ji Lin's face: "How is it, not bad, right?"
"Very good, much better than your room."
No matter how well the male insects in Area 1 live, it is only compared with the living environment of the female insects. If you really compare them, they are just as good and not much better.
"I think so too."
Ji Lin sat on the bed and thought about the room he lived in Area 1, which was indeed not as good as a room on the starship.
After seeing the environment Ji Lin was in, Ji Wei put aside the last bit of worry in his heart. The male insect cub was living better than he thought.
This way he would feel relieved.
"Let's continue what I was not finishing. You hit the nail on the head. Father Xiong really wants to know about everything related to you."
Whether it's credit points or wanting to support himself, these are all related to the little bug's experience after going out, so he will naturally care.
But, maybe it's not just because of these.
"Okay."
"Where should I start?" Ji Lin was organizing what he wanted to say in his mind, and he had to make sure that there was nothing confidential.
You must keep a clear distinction between public and private matters. There are some things that cannot be said, and you still cannot tell Xiong's father.
Ji Wei glanced at the bracelet on his hand and said, "Let's talk about credit points first, and how this... terminal came about."
Optical computers and terminals are not unfamiliar to male insects. They have seen unicorns have them and have also seen them use them.
Ji Wei naturally knew about it, but this was the first time since he was born that he had touched and used it with his own hands.
With 001's guidance and Jiwei's good memory, he had already figured out how to use the terminal even though he had only had it for less than two hours.
"Speaking of credit points, I have to start with my work."
Ji Lin smiled happily when he thought about his job as the transport captain. He was serving all the Zerg, and every bit of materials transported was changing the living environment of the Zerg on Tianyun Star.
So, Ji Wei listened to his son's stories about his 'adventures' during this period.
"...That's about it. The equipment and supplies 001 used to draw blood from you, Father Xiong, are part of the supplies we brought back this time."
He briefly talked about how he left Tianyun Star, was commissioned to set up a chamber of commerce, purchase supplies and transport them back.
"My job involves constantly moving supplies back and forth, and I might have to leave again in a few days."
"Credit points are the currency on Tianyun Star. I work for Mr. Gray Mist's 'Doctor'. The salary he pays me can be exchanged for star coins from the outside world, or used directly on Tianyun Star."
"Once you click on the gray icon on the terminal, you can go online directly. Then search for [Tianjiaxing Era] to download the forum app, or you can directly access the forum from the website."
"This is a little different from what we use. It's a civilian version, developed specifically for future citizens to log in and use."
