"The majority are indigenous people, and a small number are poor residents of other planets, exiled prisoners, and descendants of star thieves."
"In short, there are all kinds of people here, but there are not many normal people. ”
Even the prisoners were driven here, which shows how little attention they were given.
Cheng Xi observed the surrounding environment and became silently on guard.
The federal government has been established for thousands of years and has explored many planets. There are very few planets suitable for living creatures, and garbage stars are just between habitable and uninhabitable.
In short, there were people, but not many.
The harsh environment and uneven quality of residents are standard features.
“Is this the edge of the federal region?”
“Yes, it is the farthest planet from the capital star.”
“No wonder it’s a long journey from the tourist star. After seven days of traveling, the civilian ship jumped seven or eight times along the way.”
Since I plan to "travel" to the Junk Star, I have to make a lot of strategies in advance. After all, no one has the courage to set foot here.
Cheng Xi walked forward while thinking about the information he had read before.
The federal government treats residents equally, even those living on the garbage planet have certain preferential treatment.
Underage children will be provided with centralized housing and living expenses as well as the lowest level of nutritional solution, and will receive six years of compulsory education. As an adult, if you don't have any skills, you can still recycle materials at the waste disposal site, or do simple tasks within your ability, and you can also receive low-level nutrient solution for free every day.
In short, the Interstellar Federation will not starve any of its residents to death. There is only a difference between good and bad life.
"In a sense, the federation has achieved the goal of feeding the people, which is very commendable."
Although it is just a frivolous statement, it is actually very difficult to implement.
Cheng Xi once lived in the modern era, which was known as the prosperous age, but even in that environment, there were many children in the mountains who were hungry and skinny, not to mention the poor families in Africa.
Shen Xingluo, who lived in the Great Yan Dynasty, felt it more than she did. Even the people in the capital under the emperor's feet sometimes went hungry, let alone other places where natural and man-made disasters occurred frequently.
However, he is still cautious about this sentence.
"Don't draw this conclusion too early."
"What do you mean?"
Is it possible that there are accidents in the interstellar age?
No way, no way
Facts proved that it would be possible. Cheng Xi’s face was soon swollen from his own blow.
The two stepped out of the civilian ship and headed towards the hotel they had booked. Along the way, they not only saw the buildings along the way but also passed by many local residents.
There were many people who were hungry, malnourished, and looked wary, and some even looked more like refugees than the refugees she had seen during the snowstorm.
“!”
Just, quite unexpected.
Cheng Xi looked at it without any trace, and figured it out after a moment.
"My thinking was too one-sided."
She thought that the interstellar era with such advanced technology could do everything well, but she neglected human nature.
No matter which plane or era you are in, human nature is the most uncontrolled and complex thing, and the interstellar era will be no exception.
As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures. The federal government can guarantee that it is you who comes to receive the low-grade nutrient solution, but it cannot guarantee that it is you who drinks the low-grade nutrient solution. Once you get out of the door, everything will change.
“It’s not that you think it’s too one-sided.”
Shen Xingluo shook his head, "But you subconsciously hope that this is true."
"?"
Cheng Xi looked strange, and his original depressed mood was suddenly inflamed by his words. , "So in your eyes I still have the halo of the Virgin?"
The bandit that year was killed in vain.
Shen Xingluo chuckled lightly and said nothing.
"Hey, what do you mean?"
"."
"You know, you are getting more and more annoying."
"!"
Shen Xingluo suddenly stopped, his usually calm black eyes filled with a hint of disbelief.
"Hahahahaha!"
Demon, think I can't do anything? Don't underestimate it.
***
In two days, the two of them took a low-key look at the junk star.
This planet numbered 061 is roughly divided into three large areas, one is the residence and public living area of the residents; one is the garbage factory, which specializes in serving the industrial and technological waste generated by other planets; the remaining One section is a maintenance shop that recycles and reuses industrial technology waste.
It is obvious that an industry chain unique to Junk Star has been formed here.
People at the bottom live near the garbage factory for three meals a day, and transport the collected garbage to the maintenance plant in exchange for a certain amount of payment. These people are collectively called waste pickers; the middle-class people live in residential areas and need all the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Humans keep the basic operations going.
"For example, the existence of the number one chain store in the Federation?"
"Of course. If the number one chain store in the interstellar cannot enter the garbage star, then this place is really It’s hopeless.”
The two walked into a large shopping mall near the hotel while talking.
From the outside, this place doesn't look much different from Capital Star, but once you step inside, you can clearly feel the difference.
All the products on the surface from the first floor to the top floor of the mall are the cheapest and most basic daily necessities. For example, low-grade nutritional solutions are everywhere. If you want to buy high-grade nutritional solutions, you have to go to the counter to find the staff. , rather than having robots serve as store clerks.
As for wanting to buy mutated animal meat and cook it at home?
Don’t think about it, only a few rich people at the top can afford it.
“Thankfully we have space.”
Otherwise, this trip would really be unsatisfying to my stomach.
Walking around the entire mall without spending a single star coin, Cheng Xi didn't like any special products belonging to the junk star, so he simply pulled Shen Xingluo out.
"Tang Xiao, hand over the energy stone!"
A man's shout sounded not far away, and the two felt that violent powers were condensing in the air.
Shen Xingluo held the hand he was holding behind his back and brought the person behind him. His dark eyes looked at the two groups of people having an intense conversation not far from the mall.
——If one group has seven or eight superpowers, and the other group only has one girl, it can be considered two groups.
“Want an energy stone?”
The girl’s voice was as cold as ice, “Then it depends on whether you have the ability.”
“ Tang Xiao! Don’t think you are invincible, that energy stone It was originally the one we saw first. If you hand it over, we can pretend that this never happened.”
“Oh, what a big face. Is it yours that you saw first?” That’s mine in my hand.”
The girl didn't give an inch, her back was straight towards them, her words were arrogant and arrogant.
Cheng Xi knows that she has the strength to complement her arrogance. If I feel right, this girl who looks like she is only 20 years old has already reached the fifth level of elementary level.
But
"Do you feel that this back is familiar?"
"It seems so."
Shen Xingluo hadn't noticed it before, but after she reminded him and glanced at it, he did feel a faint sense of familiarity. While the two were talking, the two groups of people had successfully fought.
They were not surprised by this result. Not to mention that the group of superpowers had deliberately robbed and failed to achieve their goals, and they would definitely not be able to settle the matter peacefully. The girl alone was not a fuel-efficient lamp. .
This kind of situation where two groups start fighting after a disagreement is too common. Cheng Xi has seen a lot in the past few days since he stepped into the garbage star.
Special projects unique to Junk Star have never been found in Capital Star.
"The security here is really bad."
There are many robots responsible for cleaning garbage on both sides of the road. They are now standing near two groups of people. If someone is beaten to the point of being paralyzed on the ground and unable to get up, , they will even come forward to help drag people aside and then clean them.
It can be said that he is quite proficient in business.
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi just stood at the entrance of the shopping mall and watched quietly. Although the fifth-level junior girl was fierce and ruthless, she had no moves at all. She was just groping through the pile of dead people. The style of play that comes out.
Three to five minutes later, she successfully knocked a group of people to the ground, and red-blond fire powers gathered in the palm of her hand.
"Garbage."
Tang Xiao snorted disdainfully, arrogantly tossed the large energy stone in his hand and drew a wave of hatred, turned around and walked towards the mall.
“Eh?”
“Eh!”
Cheng Xi’s eyes widened in surprise as he watched the show, “Isn’t that an upgraded version of Tangtang? ! ”
Yes, the girl looked very similar to Tang Tang, but her eyes were more wanton and fierce, and her fiery red hair bounced as she walked, making her look a lot more showy than Tang Tang.
Shen Xingluo’s eyes also flashed with surprise.
"It is indeed similar, but it is not an upgraded version. This girl should be smaller than Tang Tang."
"I agree."
Cheng Xi still has some discernment, this girl Her height is just over 170cm, her body is thin and her cheeks are a bit childish. She is said to be an upgraded version of Tangtang because of her extraordinary aura.
That's right, gangster-like.
The gangster girl quickly noticed the two superpowers at the entrance of the mall. It was because the eyes that fell on her were too hot. Tang Xiao, who had lived on the garbage planet since he was a child, wanted to feel it. It’s hard to get there.
But why didn’t she feel any malice, but instead felt enthusiastic and curious?
Just, very confused.
“Hey, you also want this energy stone?”
Tang Xiao went straight in and did not put down her guard because of the curious eyes that fell on her - on the contrary, she became even more guarded.
Shen Xingluo: "."
Cheng Xi: "."
What energy stone? What's so important about that thing? What we're curious about is you, girl!
Cheng Xi looked at her with a smile, "Since you picked up the energy stone, it is yours."
Tang Xiao was satisfied.
"He knows the rules."
"." To be honest, isn't the rule of your garbage stars that whoever has the strongest fist gets it?
"Well, I just see your kind face and want to chat with you and make friends."
"."
Tang Xiao was speechless now.
She has lived on the garbage planet for twenty years, and has long been accustomed to a life of fighting and killing from time to time. When she was a child, she was killed because of a bite of food. When she grew up, she got better and raped more powerful people. , and have never made friends.
I have never seen anyone who wants to make friends with someone right away.
“I have no friends, and I don’t need friends.”
Tang Xiao’s tone was cold and he walked into the mall leaving a figure behind.
Cheng Xi didn't intend to catch up. They were still not sure whether he was really related to Tang Tang. At present, they only made speculations because the two looked alike.
It is not wise to ask rashly, and it is not etiquette.
“That energy stone should have been picked up from the garbage dump. It would be worth a lot of star coins if I bought it.”
“No wonder the people on the opposite side want to grab it.”
Even the most common energy stone can be sold for tens of thousands of star coins, which is enough for ordinary people to live for a long time. It is not easy to find such a treasure in the garbage.
"I came out today originally because I wanted to see the customs and customs of the Garbage Star, but I didn't expect that I would get something extra."
"Do you suspect that Tang Xiaozhen is related to the Tang family of the Capital Star?"
" Their faces are almost similar, isn’t it obvious?”
Obviously, anyone who has seen the two of them would guess this.
Shen Xingluo was helpless, "You are not a nosy person. Besides, the girl just now is also living a good life."
"But I don't like Tang Rou."
Cheng Xi clicked her tongue twice, obviously wanting to cause trouble, "Don't you think Tang Rou and Tang Tang are very different, both in appearance and temperament? There is no similarity. "
"." Isn't that similar? They are obviously two extremes.
What else can Shen Xingluo do?
Of course we are going to do things together.
Although Tang Xiao refused to make friends and didn't know where he was now, the two of them were not worried at all. After all, apart from the scavengers and normal people living in the downtown area, there was a third type of people in the Garbage Star.
"Tang Xiao can reach the fifth level of primary superpower at this age and has a good appearance. It is impossible that no one knows about her. We will go to the black market tonight to look for clues."
Yes, it’s the black market.
No matter where you are, there are three religions and nine streams, and underground strength is indispensable in this world.
The two of them wandered around to kill time again. After dinner in the evening, they secretly entered the black market of the garbage star.
Shen Xingluo took out two black peaked caps from the space, put one on Cheng Xi's head and pressed it down, covering most of his handsome little face in an instant.
"Okay."
Cheng Xi felt anxious at the same time, "Is there something shameful about me?"
"Of course not."
The corners of Shen Xingluo's mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cooperate or not to answer the question.
Fortunately, a few burly superpowers walked out in front, interrupting the little quarrel between young lovers.
“Let’s go and buy information.”
“Do you know where the people who sell information are?”
“Know something.”
This After a few days, he didn't just wander around. There were some things that he could get some clues as long as he inquired carefully. What's more, Shen Xingluo had collected all the world's news through Hongwei Escort Agency in his previous life. This trivial matter was a piece of cake for him.
"That's great, lead the way."
Cheng Xi is a master who is accustomed to enjoying himself. He can sit but never stand, and his eyes can be in a daze even if he doesn't use his brain.
So there was a man and a woman wearing peaked caps on the main street of the famous underground black market of Junk Star. They arrived at an underground arena without attracting much attention along the way.
