Chapter 428 Lucky Beast
Chapter 428 Lucky Beast
Qingyou had also heard of this auction. The main reason was that the items in this auction were very weird, but every auction was packed and it was even more popular than many large auctions.
"It is said that what is being auctioned for one interstellar coin is the excrement of an animal."
Meng could justify herself by saying, "What? Feces?"
"Hmm! If it weren't for its unrefined appeal and its minimal use, there's no way such things at the auction would start at just one interstellar coin and still have no one bidding higher."
Luo Tian wrinkled his nose: "Why do I feel that the person who took the photo of the feces is even weirder."
Meng Ke nodded. If it was special feces, it would be fine. But if it was feces with little effect, why bother taking pictures of it? It was embarrassing enough.
“Soon after that auction, everyone who didn’t bid regretted it.”
Meng Ke and Luo Tian's eyes immediately flashed with gossip.
Qingyou frowned, as if thinking of something. "The Star Auction was selling off unusual items. At the time, no one knew what kind of feces it was, so they put it up for auction. A plant grower happened to be at the venue and wanted to try processing it into plant growth fluid. He bought it with the starting price of one interstellar coin. After returning home, he actually grew vegetables that exceeded their own level. Later research revealed that the feces in the auction contained a unique spiritual power. When made into plant growth fluid, it could improve the quality of natural fruits and vegetables."
Luo Tian opened his mouth in shock. Meng Ke thought he was so cute and gently closed it with her hands.
Luo Tian placed his wife's soft little hand on his face, gave her a look that said, "Don't make trouble for now," and then asked anxiously, "Have you found what kind of creature's feces it is?"
It is hard to imagine how huge a gap would be created if the alliance raised this kind of beast and the supply of high-grade fruits and vegetables increased exponentially in the future.
Meng Ke thought of another question: "Can someone without a talent for planting succeed with this growth liquid?"
"cannot!"
Qingyou answered Meng Ke first, then responded to Luo Tian's question: "I found it. There is no such creature in the interstellar database. The Alliance named it the Light Beast, which means it can bring new hope to mankind."
Meng Ke speculated: "Can't this kind of star beast be bred?"
Qingyou nodded. "They are as rare as star cores. The Alliance has tried to breed them in captivity, but all attempts have failed."
Luo Tian sighed: "In this case, I might as well follow them and pick up their poop."
Ouyang Kong chuckled. Meng Ke turned to look at him and suddenly an idea struck her: "Will the Alliance do this now?"
Ouyang Kong nodded: "That's true, but they like to live in the desolate star field, where natural disasters are frequent, and the cost of collecting feces is quite high."
"Can't we confine them to a safe area?"
"No! They are creatures who will not turn back even if they hit a wall, even if it means death."
"It's so stubborn, yet it hasn't gone extinct yet. It really is the blessing of the interstellar gods."
"Yeah! Later, when we followed their team, we found that as long as we didn't disturb them, it didn't matter if we got close to them. They were born with the ability to avoid interstellar disasters, so the soldiers could also avoid disasters if they got close to them. As time went by, everyone liked to call them Lucky Beasts."
Qingyou added, "I heard from my comrades that if you get lost in an alien space, just follow them. They feed on energy stones, so following them not only replenishes your energy but also helps you avoid interstellar storms."
Meng Ke sighed: "If you can raise such a good beast, Qingyou, you will be able to walk sideways in the alien domain."
Luo Tian echoed, "Yeah! It can sense danger and detect energy mines. Even its poop is a treasure. Woohoo! Why do I feel like I'm not even as good as Zhishoushou?"
Luo Tian counted on his fingers, and the more he counted, the more useless he felt.
Meng Ke laughed: "So if you calculate it this way, none of the four of us is more precious than him."
"Alas! Interstellar species are truly amazing. Humans are truly inferior to beasts!"
Ouyang Kong glanced at him and said, "Humans are also a kind of interstellar beast, just more numerous. Among the vast alien races, we are just a drop in the ocean."
Qingyou felt the same way. "I talked to a friend of Gulan Star before. He said that most ordinary people on Gulan Star don't know about the existence of interstellar humans. They think that Gulan Star is the only planet with life in the vast starry sky. If they knew that the Alliance alone has tens of thousands of planets, they would definitely think that Gulan Star is nothing more than a drop in the ocean."
Meng Ke's soul is not an interstellar person, and she has a different feeling towards Gulan Star. After hearing Qingyou say this, she really has a question to ask: "Why not migrate all the people on Gulan Star to the interstellar space?"
Let’s not talk about the alliance, just talk about Meng Ke herself. As long as she is willing, it will be no problem for her to replicate an ancient blue planet in the central area.
Not sure if this question was too profound, Qingyou didn't say anything, but looked at Ouyang Kong.
Ouyang Kong casually played with Meng Ke's fingers and reminded her, "I heard that the invitation to the Star Auction is quite difficult. Have you asked someone to arrange it?"
Meng Ke nodded: "It's arranged."
Luo Tian was a little anxious: "I want to go too! If you don't take me with you, I won't let you go!"
The child's temper was getting worse and worse, but Meng Ke was very happy: "Okay! I'll take you with me."
Then he asked Qingyou: "Are you going?"
Qingyou nodded: "It just so happens that I have only heard of it and have never been there. This time I will go with you to broaden my horizons."
Ouyang Kong was a little dissatisfied: "Why don't you ask me?"
Meng Ke took advantage of Ouyang Kong's playing with her fingers, pulled his hand up and kissed him: "Of course you have to go, I'm counting on you to protect me."
This answer was perfect, and Ouyang Kong was quite satisfied. Coupled with the warm touch on the back of his hand, the corners of the man's mouth couldn't help but rise.
He was also happy to answer Meng Ke's question: "Ancient Blue Planet is too far from the Alliance. The cost of moving the entire planet is too high. Moreover, many people are unwilling to leave their homeland. If too many people were to know about the existence of interstellar humans, it would bring instability to Ancient Blue Planet."
“Will the transfer be expensive?”
If it's a matter of money, Meng Ke feels that she can also contribute.
"Resource depletion is partly to blame, but more importantly, the physical fitness of the ancient Blue Star people is generally too poor. They can't withstand the harsh interstellar environment. Rather than experiencing a high mortality rate, it's better to maintain the status quo."
"Our ancestors all migrated from Ancient Blue Star. Didn't a group of them also arrive a few years ago?"
Luo Tian only knew this much, and he thought it would be easy to immigrate from Gulan Star.
Ouyang Kong and Luo Tian looked at each other with silly and innocent eyes, and finally did not tell him some cruel things.
Meng was not as blank as Luo Tian. From Ouyang Kong's words just now, she had already heard the cruelty of the migration road.
“What were the odds a few years ago?”
"More than thirteen percent."
Meng Ke frowned. That is to say, if a hundred people migrated here, even if they were transported by the most advanced interstellar starship, the death rate would be as high as thirteen. This was a very scary number, because those who could be included in the migration list had been tested in advance and their physical fitness barely met the standards. But even so, they would still die from radiation. It can be seen that for ordinary people, if their quality did not meet the standards and if they were forced to migrate, the death rate would reach a very scary number.
"For the first time, I deeply felt the hardships our ancestors faced when they migrated to interstellar space."
Meng Ke's expression was solemn. Luo Tian held her arm and shook her: "Honey, what's wrong with me? What are you talking about? What's thirteen percent?"
Meng Ke squeezed her husband's palm and said, "Alright! Didn't we say we were going to the auction? Do you want to change into something light?"
"want!"
Luo Tian let go of his wife's hand and stood up. Suddenly he thought of something and leaned closer to remind her worriedly: "Don't sneak away without changing clothes."
Meng Ke was amused: "When did I ever break my promise?"
Of course Luo Tian believes in his wife, but now is an extraordinary period. Who knows if his wife will not bring him along for his own good.
"Just promise me!"
Luo Tian acted coquettishly, and Meng Ke agreed without any struggle: "Okay! Go change your clothes! I'll wait for you outside."
Luo Tian looked at his wife's clothes and asked, "Don't you want to change into casual clothes?"
Meng Ke was wearing combat uniform and had no intention of changing: "The Star Auction is on the black market, it's not safe there, so I'll wear this to protect you."
When she came back, she guessed that Luo Tian might go, so she asked Zhu Jie to go to the black market to make arrangements in advance to ensure the safety of the man at home.
After all, Ouyang Kong has a special identity. If something really happens, he is not suitable to charge at the front. He still has to rely on himself at critical moments.
Luo Tian's eyes rolled and he had an idea: "Wife, wait for me, I'll give you a surprise later!"
After saying that, he trotted towards the rest room. Meng Ke quickly reminded him: "Don't be in a hurry, slow down!"
When Luo Tian reappeared, Meng Ke looked at his combat uniform, then at her own, and gave him a thumbs-up: "Handsome!"
Luo Tian happily moved closer to his wife to record a video. He and his wife were wearing matching outfits.
But soon Luo Tian couldn't laugh anymore, and pointed at Qingyou angrily until his nose was crooked with anger.
