Chapter 1773 Alarm (I don’t want to go out to buy food when it snows)
Due to the outbreak of Duanmuhuai, the court lost two fleets, and there was nothing to say about Duanmuhuai. But this does not mean that others don’t have it. For example, after being urged by Duanmu Huai several times, Maria pushed him out directly.
"If the judge is so idle, just collect more supplies. There are not enough supplies now!"
Since Maria said so, Duanmu Huai didn't say much, after all, he did destroy those fleets himself. Anyway, he was idle, so Duanmu Huai returned to the base camp of the Inquisition Court located in the Realm God Galaxy, responsible for supervising the collection and transportation of materials. By the way, I also brought Kurokawa Akain to get familiar with the environment and have a specific understanding of the work of the court.
As for the supplies themselves, it is not difficult to find. Duanmu Huai directly contacted Dardanell, a Shang Shangren, and asked him to deliver the supplies he needed. During this period, Dardanell's business alliance has been booming and is very prosperous and has made a lot of money. Dardanell naturally did not dare to neglect Duanmuhuai's request and agreed immediately.
At the moment, the group was standing on the dock, watching the scene of the transport fleet entering the port in the distance.
“It’s really spectacular.”
Through the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the scene outside, Kurokawa Akain couldn't help but sigh. Transport ships are generally large in size. Although they are not as powerful as warships in combat, this volume alone is enough to shock. This is also normal. After all, many ocean-going cargo ships are not much worse than aircraft carriers in terms of size, but it does not mean that they can compete with destroyers in terms of combat effectiveness.
But it's really big...
Seeing the transport ships entering the port and unloading goods one after another, Kurokawa Akato was also extremely amazed.
"I have bought so much goods and must have spent a lot of money."
"No, I didn't spend a penny."
"Hey? Don't you need to spend money?"
"Yes, this is used to deduct taxes."
Duanmuhuai nodded, just kidding, let the court spend money? Which family of dreams did you have? The court is not a commercial organization and does not print money itself.
"Tax deduction?"
"The 11th tax, you can just understand it as a protection fee."
"Uh………………”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Kurokawa Akain's expression was a bit complicated.
"Is it the kind of fee that gangsters charge when going to the store in TV series?"
"That's right."
"Will they give it to it..."
"They have received the protection of the court, so they naturally have to pay the price."
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"We are not an organization that is easy to mess with. If they don't give it to you, then I don't mind letting them taste the power of the court."
“………………………………”
Kurokawa Akane looked at Duanmu Huai with a complicated expression, and then looked at An and Mari standing next to her. The latter shook his head without saying a word, while An smiled bitterly.
"Actually, you don't need to think so complicatedly, Miss Kurokawa."
"Is that true?"
"Yes, just like national taxation, the state has to collect taxes from the people. If it is unwilling to pay taxes, it will be punished or even jailed. As the price of tax collection, the state will also protect its people from foreign enemies, which is not much different from what the court has done. And sometimes, if the state cannot trade money for some reasons, it can reach a transaction through tax reduction or alternative means."
While talking, An rolled his eyes at Duanmuhuai.
"It's just what Mr. Knight said is so misunderstood."
"What is the misunderstanding about this? The essence is not the same? What is the difference?"
Duanmu Huai sneered at him.
"But for those who listen... well, I know Mr. Knight doesn't care about these."
An also gave up persuasion. After all, she knew what Duanmu Huai thought.
Just then, a cheerful and lively voice sounded.
"Yeah, big brother, big sisters, hello you guys."
Accompanied by this sound, Kurokawa Akino saw a very cute white-haired girl with horse ears and a ponytail coming out from the side and greeted everyone with a smile. Kurokawa Akino had seen her and remembered that her name was Zhenjiling, a Ma Niang - Duanmu Huai said that she was a kind of monster girl. Kurokawa Akino didn't understand this very much, but thinking about how many animations and comics in his world have things like cat-eared girls. I'm afraid that Zhenjiling is similar to this?
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Well, didn't you say that I wanted to shoot a video with Sister Chiyin and introduce it to you. I happened to hear that you guys are back, so I'll come and have a look."
"Introduction?"
"Well, I heard that Sister Chiyin, you are a genius actor and are very good at acting? Have you ever thought about continuing to be an actor and filming?"
"Genius actors or something, it's too exaggerated..."
Kurokawa Akain waved his hand quickly, but soon tilted his head in confusion.
"But, am I not joining the court now? Can I continue filming?"
"The only one who really regards the judge as the chief position in the court is Mr. Knight."
An also said with a smile beside him.
"Everyone does their own things on weekdays. We will only go to the trial court unless Mr. Knight gives orders. For example, Gureya and I still have the work of the princess to do on weekdays. Miss Mary also writes novels. She doesn't often do live broadcasts? This does not conflict with our daily work."
"Ah...so that's it."
Kurokawa Akino nodded, then she looked at Duanmu Huai.
"Is that OK? Mr. Duanmu?"
To be fair, Kurokawa Akino still likes acting very much, but she originally thought that when she arrived at the court, her job should be just to be responsible for playing Duanmu Huai's stand-in and fighting, and she should have no chance of acting.
"Of course there is no problem. As long as the task of the court is not delayed and the regulations are not violated, it doesn't matter." Duanmuhuai shrugged.
After hearing Duanmu Huai's reply, Kurokawa Akino also pondered for a moment, then made up his mind.
"I... hope to continue acting."
"No problem."
"Great."
Hearing Kurokawa Akino's answer, Shi Zhili jumped up excitedly and grabbed her hand.
"Kalian has always hoped to perform with others. After all, everyone in the Inquisition is not used to doing this kind of thing, but now there is no problem. With Sister Chiyin, it will be much more convenient to carry out similar activities in the future."
Looking at the lively and cheerful and clever mind, Kurokawa Akino also smiled—this girl does have a very outstanding cute temperament, and even Kurokawa Akino can feel this cuteness and beauty.
"Then, please let Sister Chiyin introduce you to you."
As he said, he pulled Kurokawa Akino to the platform next to him and pointed to the ball floating beside him.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"What is that?"
"Huh? The camera equipment used for live broadcast."
"There is actually a live broadcast in the universe."
"Of course, Kalian will broadcast live for a while every day, chatting with everyone, singing and dancing, and having fun together. Kalian will also invite Sister Chiyin to broadcast live together in the future!"
When Kurokawa Akito was relieved when he heard what Shi Ji said. At least from what he heard, this seemed not much different from the live broadcasts Kurokawa Akito had seen in his own world. The fact that being able to discover something familiar to me in a strange environment made Kurokawa Akain feel a little relieved.
So she also followed Zhenjiling's guidance and introduced herself in front of the camera that was turned on, chatted with Zhenjiling, and then showed off her acting skills.
"Thank you, Sister Chiyin!"
After the end, Maki Ling took back the camera and thanked Kurokawa Akain with a smile.
"Everyone's response was good, and he has gained another wave of fans. Sister Chiyin will also appear more in the future."
"Is there a lot of audience?"
"It's okay, after all, Karen is the storefront of the Inquisition, everyone will watch it."
Karen fiddled with the camera and checked the number of people.
"The audience is probably more than 80 billion people at present."
“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
For a moment, Kurokawa Akain even doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
"Eighty billion?"
"Of course, the standard population of the Star Alliance parent star alone is 11.4 billion, not to mention so many planetary worlds. There are also many audiences in each world who will pay attention to the actions of the Court."
“…………………………”
Hearing the smart answer, Kurokawa Akain suddenly felt that his body was a little weak.
After all, with her experience, it is amazing to have tens of thousands of people on the Internet on a general live broadcast. As a result, what the hell is the number of viewers with more than the total population of their own planet?
In other words, I just performed in front of an audience of 80 billion?
"Then, I'll discuss the next performance with Sister Chiyin."
After saying this, Zhenjiling waved her hands at everyone, then turned around and left--It was Ma Niang, the acceleration of a hundred meters was not covered. Before Kurokawa Akain even had time to speak, Zhenjiling's petite figure had disappeared at the end of the metal corridor hundreds of meters away.
“………………………………………………”
"Just get used to it."
Looking at Kurokawa Akino's gaze coming to him, Duanmu Huai patted her on the shoulder.
"And there is no need to think too much. After all, the court has to do the court's affairs. This is just a relaxation on weekdays."
"Why......"
"That's right."
"Then, I still have one more question."
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"The screen over there was flashing just now..."
While speaking, Kurokawa Akain pointed at the red dot under the holographic screen next to him curiously.
"What does that mean?"
"Oh, nothing, it's just that dangerous items were detected......Damn it!?"
Duanmu Huai answered casually, then realized and hurriedly issued an order.
"Catch all the cargo ships over there for me!"
You can find trouble under my nose!
