Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Star Era Guide (3)
“Spiritual power?”
“Yeah, if you had spiritual power, forget the Main Star, even the Administrative Star would be within your reach.” The tomboy winked at Chuzheng. “It’s a pity not everyone has spiritual power. It’s one in a million.”
Chuzheng could roughly understand what spiritual power was.
People with spiritual power are especially respected in this world, their status is higher than that of ordinary people.
Because only those with spiritual power can operate chas.
And chas are indispensable in war, with great destructive power.
Of course, spiritual power is far more useful than this alone.
In short, if you have spiritual power, even if you used to roll in the mud, you can soar and beco soone of great importance.
[Sister, let’s spend money!] King’s Account was the first to speak, with its routine brainwashing of Chuzheng on the benefits of being extravagant.
Chuzheng: “…”
None of your business, shut up!
[…]
King’s Account sulkily logged off with its little tail between its legs.
Chuzheng gave the tomboy a nonchalant glance: “What’s your na?”
“You can just call Xiao Jiu.”
Chuzheng nodded, saying nothing more.
–
The spaceship landed on a Two-Star Planet.
Chuzheng followed the crowd off the spaceship. The air was a bit polluted and not pleasant to sll.
It was also very hot.
This seed to be just an illegal docking station; as soon as everyone disembarked, the spaceship left imdiately.
Most of the newly arrived people seed quite confused, not knowing where to go after escaping.
“Where are you planning to go?” Xiao Jiu took the initiative to follow Chuzheng, “I’m pretty familiar with this area, want to show you around?”
“What do you want?”
Xiao Jiu chuckled, “Why do you think of like that? Can’t I just feel sorry for you and want to show so camaraderie and love?”
Chuzheng lowered her lashes, repeating lightly and firmly, “What do you want?”
Her expression was cold.
A bit impatient.
“How about hiring for a day for 100 Star Coins?” Xiao Jiu observed Chuzheng’s expression, then tentatively reduced the price: “Eighty, I know a lot about this area, and I’m familiar with the surrounding planets.”
“What makes you think I have money?” Chuzheng eyed Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu sized up Chuzheng; honestly, her current attire wasn’t much different from the people around.
But she had a very different aura.
She could easily be spotted in a crowd.
Xiao Jiu scratched her head, “Then fifty?”
Seeing that Chuzheng wasn’t responding, Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth, ready to lower it a bit more.
But then the girl suddenly said, “I have money.”
Xiao Jiu: “??”
Then why did you ask that earlier?!
–
Chuzheng hired Xiao Jiu at the rate of 100 a day.
Xiao Jiu had been drifting around the fringe planets since she was young, and this ti she got unlucky, got caught in a pirate attack; otherwise, she wouldn’t have paid such a high price for this ticket.
Of course, Xiao Jiu said that for people with identity chips, it was only slightly more expensive than a regular spaceship, not the exorbitant price Chuzheng paid.
From Xiao Jiu, she learned that to go to the Main Star, she first had to upgrade her Identity Chip.
“Your upgrade needs to be pretty high, you can’t rush it all at once, maybe upgrade to Three-Star first, then figure out sothing else once you’re there,” Xiao Jiu suggested to Chuzheng.
“No black ships?”
Xiao Jiu imdiately understood what she ant: “Smuggling? What’s the point of smuggling over? Without an Identity Chip on the Main Star, you can’t move an inch, you’re still a nobody, can’t show your face.”
Of course, there were people doing smuggling.
Just like the spaceship they ca here on.
This was a whole industry chain.
But Identity Chips were too important in places like the Main Star.
“If I can get there, that’s good enough.” The Identity Chip issue could be dealt with after reaching the Main Star. Chuzheng instructed Xiao Jiu, “Go find out.”
Xiao Jiu opened her mouth: “Alright then.”
On this kind of planet, the buildings weren’t very tall, and there was an air of dilapidation.
Like rundown buildings after a sci-fi world war.
Many robots were rusty, and quite a few buildings had exposed steel bars, with no one to fix them.
The ground wasn’t clean, trash was everywhere.
Cleaning robots clacked along but didn’t clean the streets.
Occasionally, there passed by so oddly shaped people…
The people here also wore numb expressions.
Stifling.
Silently oppressive.
Chuzheng exhaled, wandered around a bit, and then went to wait for Xiao Jiu at their previously agreed eting spot.
I could find a place to stay, so why am I waiting by the roadside for soone?
Whatever, let’s consider it a cultural exploration.
Chuzheng stood by the roadside, her expression cold as she watched.
With her hard and cold deanor, people around assud she was looking for trouble and avoided her.
In places like this, having so law and order would already be decent.
As for being ineffective, being manipulated—that’s all too normal.
So most people didn’t cause trouble.
But so people did…
Like the boy standing in front of Chuzheng now.
Wearing a leather jacket, with colorful hair, sporting weird earrings, the kind of non-mainstream style at a glance.
It proves that even in the Star Era, non-mainstream fashion remains a standard that wouldn’t be buried.
“I see you’ve been standing here for quite a while. What’s the matter, lost your way ho?” The boy inspected Chuzheng casually, a malicious glint in his eyes: “Want to co with us, we’ll take you ho?”
Behind the boy stood two lackeys dressed nearly the sa.
“Do you have a ho?”
The other party was montarily stunned, probably not expecting that today’s target, instead of showing a panic-stricken Little White Rabbit expression, calmly asked such a question.
The question was even a bit… strange.
According to normal reasoning, shouldn’t you ask, “Who are you?”
They didn’t look like good people at all!
The boy quickly snapped back: “Of course I do, why wouldn’t I? So, want to co ho with us?”
Chuzheng’s gaze fell on him with a touch of coolness.
However, at this mont, the boy didn’t notice.
“Let’s go.” The boss spoke with great authority.
Today, I’ll take you to see your old ho!
Damn it!
Bothering !
The boy exchanged a glance with his two lackeys: “Let’s go, let’s go, hey little sister, you’re not from around here, right? You look unfamiliar, ca from elsewhere? Don’t worry, this place is my turf, from now on, I’ve got you covered.”
“…”
Oh my, quite impressive.
Chuzheng quietly followed them, and as the surrounding buildings beca denser, there were fewer people around.
The boy kept chattering.
Chuzheng observed the surroundings, and seeing no one, she stopped walking.
“It’s just up ahead, why’d you stop?” the boy asked her.
“This place is nice,” Chuzheng replied, lukewarmly.
The boy raised an eyebrow, exchanged a look with his lackeys: “Oh wow, didn’t think you’d be so bold, alright, since no one cos here, let’s just do it here.”
Chuzheng pinched her wrist.
Fighting! I’ve never lost!
Bang—
Just as Chuzheng turned around, there was a loud noise in front of her as sothing, maybe porcelain or whatever, shattered in front of her.
Followed by a robust shout—
“What are you doing, you lot?!”
