Walk alone in the abyss

Sometimes, hearing too well is not a good thing.

Yang Ming sat in the virtual hall made up of holographic projections, and during the interval between changing the music, he clearly heard the loud plotting of the girls who accompanied the wine outside the door.

"There is a handsome guy in King Suite No. 3!"

"Wow, he is really rich. I just sang a song and got 20,000 Luofeng coins!"

"Which sad prince is this here to save sentient beings? Look at my sister! I have to squeeze his wallet dry today!"

That's it?

Yang Ming curled his lips slightly.

There are already a group of young ladies with heavy makeup and good figure sitting around him, but their mood has not improved, and they are still immersed in the sorrow caused by Hera's "departure".

Yang Ming even felt a sense of guilt.

Obviously there are so many big things waiting for him to do - the interstellar politics of the Milky Way, the national defense construction of the Luofeng Empire, the inheritance of the high-dimensional civilization, the crusade against the life forms of the ancient gods, adding obstacles to the new federation, and so on.

But now, he just wants to sit in this happy land full of melodies, killing precious time.

However, it is also very comfortable to waste time occasionally.

Yang Ming sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and the beauties around him tried to get closer to him in order to earn more money, but they were inexplicably guilty and did not dare to get too close to Yang Ming.

To them, this is actually very unprofessional.

They have been fighting for a long time, and they are already familiar with the skills of touching, relying on, and making love.

But when they faced this man who seemed to be in his twenties, they had a feeling that he could not be approached and that he was dangerous.

Not the meddling danger, but... but a...

A danger of a broken neck.

"Aren't there many guests here?" Yang Ming asked suddenly.

The girl next to him quickly replied: "Most, recently there are quite a few, but it won't be until evening, most of the guests have to work during the day..."

"It's the first time for me to come to this administrative star." Yang Ming turned to look at the elder sister Dabo next to him, "Is the income of the people here really so low?"

A big sister smiled and said, "Are you here to do research?"

Yang Ming just watched her quietly, and the latter began to panic for no reason.

A woman with heavy make-up full of mature charm answered the words familiarly:

"Look at what you asked, it feels like an official unannounced visit. Although our fifth star is notoriously poor, with a large population and a small total value, there are also many rich people. However, most of the rich save If you have enough money, you will move to Ilando or other wealthy planets, and over time, there will not be so many rich people left."

"That's the reason," Yang Ming slid it down casually, and gave the woman a transfer.

The women suddenly started talking about sex, and began to open their mouths:

"Our place is a five-star high-consumption venue, but compared to our nightclubs on other planets in Luofeng, the average profit is only a fraction of others."

"That's right, I heard that in the night show in Yilan Duo, the tip alone is three times higher than our average."

"The richest guests who come to us are civil servants, followed by businessmen and high-income elites."

Yang Ming sent a tip to each of the women in the room.

Sisters, what you said and what I said outlined the fringe political ecology of the fifth administrative star of the Luofeng Empire.

Yang Ming did not ask about the privacy of specific guests.

For them, this is just talking about some daily gossip and knowledge, which is equivalent to making money for nothing.

"Brother, did you come to us to ask these questions?"

"of course not."

Yang Ming opened his arms, and the two beauties on the left and right immediately stuck up.

"Others continue to sing and dance, and want to make money in a daze? Call some of your managers over to chat with me."

A big sister hurriedly said, "Our managers don't accept guests."

Yang Ming threw a stack of virtual projected digital currency onto the physical coffee table aside.

Several managers arrived running.

He asked while playing, and after about an hour or two, he finally figured out the marginal environment of the fifth administrative planet.

It is slightly different from the survey done by the law.

Law attributed the poverty of the fifth administrative star to three points—political instability, systemic corruption, and industrial backwardness.

But from the mouths of these legally engaged ladies and sisters, Yang Ming heard a different point of view.

"In fact, many people here are too lazy. Everyone has the mentality of dawdling. They spend as much money as they have, and do odd jobs when they have no money. My family is like this."

"Everyone thinks that as long as they save a certain amount of money and can move to other planets, they can live a good life... In fact, many times, going to other planets is also a difficult life."

"I dropped out of school at the age of seventeen and went to the factory. I worked in mineral screening for several years. I just stood by the instrument every day, pressing a few buttons, and my salary was barely enough to survive. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to come here to earn more money. Save enough money to go to other planets, find a factory or open a restaurant."

Yang Ming thought carefully.

In essence, the fifth administrative star is Luofeng Empire's own 'dumping ground' and blood-drawing machine.

The social atmosphere here is generally loose, with no room for advancement at all, wealth keeps flowing out, and itself is constantly being hollowed out.

In order for the fifth administrative star to develop rapidly, it is not only about upgrading industries, stabilizing the political situation, and eliminating corrupt officials, but also using other means.

For example, migration tax, the establishment of state-owned enterprises to promote the upgrading of supporting industries, the development of labor-intensive technology industries, and re-education of residents, etc.

Yang Ming was not very good at doing this, so he edited information on his watch while listening to music and watching dance, and sent a message to Edwang.

Edwan sent a reply seconds later.

[His Majesty Twerk: Wow, Ming, you actually went to the fifth administrative star to do research! This simply overturned my understanding of you! 】

Yang Ming sneered, greeted the people around him, turned off all the virtual devices in the 100-square-meter suite, and asked a dozen ladies and sisters to gather around him, take a group photo and send it to Edwang.

[His Majesty Twerking: ...You have really had enough. I am almost so busy that I am vomiting blood, and you are still having fun there! Where is the location? Is it convenient for me to go there? 】

Yang Ming quickly replied with his watch.

[Yang Ming: I'm in the fifth administrative star. I came here to hang out on a whim. Do you need me to help you solve any trouble here? Assassinate some officials, nobles and the like. 】

[Your Majesty: I really want your help with something. I will send you detailed information about the candidate for the governor of the fifth administrative star. I am a little undecided. 】

Ding ding!

Adwang sent an email, and Lu quickly sorted out the information inside.

Adwang selected three officials. Judging from the superficial information, they are all young and powerful and have outstanding political achievements.

The governor of a planet is a territorial official, so Adwang is naturally very cautious, not to mention choosing the next governor for the fifth administrative star with complicated situations.

Yang Ming asked the girls around him to dance on the dance floor, while he sat alone and read the documents.

Lu quickly provided supplementary materials.

Among the three officials, two officials themselves were involved in corruption, and the remaining official's ability index was the least conspicuous among the three.

Yang Ming struggled for a while, but finally chose the honest one.

He felt that the Fifth Administrative Star needed an official like this to correct bad habits in the officialdom.

Lack of ability can be compensated for;

Officials who have engaged in corrupt practices cannot stop their desires.

By the time Yang Ming sent a message to Edwang, the dance floor had become empty.

Night has fallen outside the window, and this nightclub has become more lively. There are more singing and dancing in the private rooms. High-income people come to relax or socialize, looking for the body to carry their own desires.

Sexual resources have become commodities here, clearly marked with prices, and consumed wantonly.

Yang Ming still couldn't make up his mind to spend the night here.

He threw down a few wads of virtual coins and left the nightclub calmly.

…

Where to go shopping next?

Yang Ming wanted to see the night view here, have some special dinner, and feel the fireworks of city life.

"Boss," Lu's voice reminded her in a low voice from her watch, "026 has been waiting for you in the parking lot for a long time."

"She's in the parking lot?" Yang Ming wondered, "Didn't she go home?"

"Some unpleasant things happened," Lu chuckled. "Didn't 026 send most of her salary to her family in the past two years? Her parents and siblings all lived a good life and bought two properties. , purchased some properties.”

Yang Ming frowned and said: "Are they repaying kindness with enmity and trying to exploit the remaining value of 026? This is a plot of an eight o'clock TV series."

"Not this one."

Lu Wei sighed:

“They suspected that 026’s money came from dirty sources, and many neighbors and relatives were saying that she had gained so much money through her business in flesh and blood.

“026 couldn’t even get in the door at first, but in the end her mother came back from the factory and opened the door for her.

"Her father even politely asked her not to come back casually. Her family was cautious when facing her, not only for fear of offending her and losing their financial resources, but also for fear that she would affect their reputation.

"I just learned a new term today - gossip."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Did you explain it to her?"

Lu sighed: "026 didn't ask me to explain. She said this was good, and everyone's life has become better. That's just her temperament."

Yang Ming turned into the parking lot and walked towards the hover car he had been riding in before.

He originally thought that 026 would be particularly depressed now, but as soon as he approached the hover car, he heard the fierce drum beat coming from inside.

Yang Ming gestured to the floating car window, and Lu quietly lowered the driver's window. A blast of music immediately came from inside. 026 shook his head to the drums, and a variety of shopping interfaces were displayed on the projection screen in front of him.

She's in a pretty good mood.

Boom!

Yang Ming knocked on the car door, 026 turned his head and glanced, then let out a soft sigh, hurriedly turned off the music, opened the door and jumped out.

"Boss! You're done!"

"What are you talking about? What do you mean it's over! I'll drive to a hotel with a better environment. If I see a good restaurant on the roadside, I'll stop and recommend some local specialties to me." Yang Ming yawned, "These few days This day is a public trip, and you accompany me to visit the scenic spots in the Fifth Administrative Star."

"okay!"

026 opened the car door and made a bowing gesture: "Boss, please come in."

"Yes, I have the potential to be a doorman," Yang Ming commented with a smile. After sitting down, he closed his eyes and meditated.

The hover car slowly left the parking lot and headed towards the nearby food court.

Yang Ming rested for less than five minutes when his watch began to vibrate continuously.

This made him slightly irritable.

He is here to relax, not to work.

After working at the nightclub for a long time, the governor who helped Emperor Luofeng decide on this administrative star has lost all his interest in looking for flowers and flowers. Who is going to trouble him now!

‘Boss, Molly sent a letter for help. '

Mimily?

What happened to Star Widow?

Yang Ming regained his energy immediately, and asked directly: "What's wrong with my eldest niece?"

Law's projection appeared on the center console, and then floated in front of Yang Ming, with a strange expression on his face.

"Boss, as you know, Mimi Li has been active on the outskirts of Luofeng Empire, and under Molly's guidance, she will help us do some dirty work.

"For example, Kolev's main competitor in the chemical industry was almost bankrupt because Mimily visited the cargo ship several times in a row..."

"Let's get to the point," Yang Ming said, "the part about asking for help."

The law said succinctly: "Mimily wants to fall in love."

"Huh?" Yang Ming smiled, "Let's talk about it, Mimily is not a child anymore, she is now an outstanding pirate captain."

"Yes, she has a high talent for piracy, although this is not a legal act."

Lu blinked at Yang Ming, and whispered:

"So, if Mimily calls you later about this, you'll help her, right?"

There was a question mark on Yang Ming's forehead: "What does this have to do with me?"

"You seem to be the first person Mimily thinks of."

"I can't accept her... that's the way," Yang Ming immediately shook his head.

026, who was driving, pricked up his ears.

Yang Ming suddenly thought of something, and stared at Lu for a while.

Lu remained calm and looked at Yang Ming.

"You arranged it?" Yang Ming asked with a frown.

Law: "Of course not, how could I announce your emotional status, boss, this is your privacy, but Miss Mimily is beautiful and handsome, and has excellent fighting power, and she also has a deep bond with you. Lev's daughter."

"Turn off the lie system," Yang Ming asked, "You arranged it?"

Law: "Okay, yes, boss, Molly and I have made up our minds, and I think it's pretty good to match the two of you."

After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth, her eyes full of guilt.

Yang Ming scolded: "I think you are the overpowered mastermind!"

The lawyer flattened his mouth aggrievedly.

Ding Ding!

A communication request popped up on Yang Ming's watch, and he clicked to agree; the blonde girl who looked the same as two or three years ago jumped out of the dialog box.

The maintenance equipment that was purchased at a high price has begun to realize its value.

She was wearing a loose shirt and black-rimmed glasses. She should be sitting behind the desk in the cabin at the moment. Her long wine-red hair was tied into a double ponytail, and her fair and translucent skin seemed to have turned on a high-power beauty filter.

"Hi!"

Mimi Li raised her hand a little stiffly, her voice was also a little nervous, and said straight to the point:

"I heard that you are broken in love, right, Uncle Hunton."

Yang Ming shrugged: "It's not a broken relationship, it's just a little emotional twists and turns."

"Are you free recently?" Mimily said with a smile, "I just need to take a break. Recently, I have done too much business and I feel a little tired. If you have time, how about we hang out for a few days?"

Yang Ming said with a smile: "My spaceship is malfunctioning, and I can't go too far for now, and I will continue to travel in a few days, so I may not be able to accompany you."

Mimi Li shrugged and muttered: "Well, we all have a lot of things to do, I just go and relax by myself."

"Well, have you cared about your father recently?"

"Of course, I have to contact him once a week." Mimily hesitated to speak, "Let's talk about Uncle Hanton first, I will continue to study, if you need someone to talk to, you can call me anytime."

Yang Ming waved his hand, and the communication ended.

He breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Li's realistic projection in his hand, and rubbed it hard a dozen times.

Which "Abyss" player can resist the charm of the young star widow?

"Be more honest," Yang Ming reprimanded with a straight face, "If you have the time to think about this, why not find a 400-meter warship!"

"Yes, boss," Ritsu agreed feebly.

Yang Ming shook his head, watching the night scene passing by outside the window, but his mood improved inexplicably.

I have to say that niece Mimily has become pretty again recently.

...

Almost the same moment.

In the remote star field of the Sherman Empire, a survey ship belonging to the Molly Miss Mining Group is hovering near a rocky planet, searching for something with full power.

There are more than sixty crew members on board, and their job is to search for ore veins.

The survey ship carried many self-operating instruments, and most of the crew members would not notice the existence of these instruments, and even if they did, they would not ask more questions, let alone take care of them.

At this moment, the captain led several senior crew members to analyze the perspective view of the planet's mineral veins, and got some unexpected gains.
