It was already the tenth day after arriving at "Xuliang Star", and 058 still felt like walking on thin ice.
Ten days ago, it was still investigating the strange structure of the mausoleum on the surface of the "Xu Liang Si" star. 058 and 007 divided the work inside and outside. It went to the surface of the star to do signal scanning and rubbing records, and 007 did sampling and analysis of the tunnel of the dead inside.
From a signal technology perspective, Tunnel of the Dead is much more difficult because it involves the identification and analysis of regular trajectories, so it is left to 007, who is better at technology. The wonder buildings on the surface of the star itself are divided into specific categories, more like a
Work slowly and carefully.
[Tianzun Star] appeared unexpectedly and projected to construct a star well.
As energy was pumped into the tunnel, a huge black storm formed on the surface, connecting to the shadow of stars in the sky.
058 carefully observed and recorded from a distance.
As a result, a signal group came to my ears.
[Because the real estate performance of this property far exceeds the average, you have been certified by "Tianzun Star" as: Outstanding Ranker. 】
[Start delivery immediately...]
Before he could recover, 058 was projected into a whole new world by the shadow of the star.
It found itself standing in a closed transparent jar, surrounded by identical containers in all directions.
I didn't see anyone else around, just 058.
It tried to get out, but was reminded as soon as it touched the transparent side wall.
【Please wait quietly.】
【Star God is matching.】
After a moment, a golden light ball bloomed in front of 058's eyes, and a voice came from inside.
""Xu Liang Si" can actually give birth to outstanding rank children. I'm lucky today. You are mine."
The transparent side wall slowly disappears.
058 Got reminded again.
[The Star God matching has been completed, and you are claimed by the second-level Star God: Venus, the "Goddess of Love". 】
In this way, 058 became a subordinate of the God of Love and came to the city of love under the jurisdiction of the God of Love.
The City of Love is a city full of ruins of wonders, most of which are half-finished, or wonders that have collapsed due to disrepair and look more like a city in ruins.
But the central area is completely different. The core is a brightly lit city within a city. The splendid buildings are lined up in rows. This area not only has artificial clouds, rain and sunshine, but also lifelike carved vegetation and trees. Outside stands the God of Love, Veena.
The statue of the goddess with broken arms.
This official residence of the God of Love has ten bedrooms, six collection rooms, eleven bathhouses of different styles, and various functional buildings serve the sole owner here.
The outermost two-story house belongs to the rank and file of the God of Love.
Venus likes 058 very much and takes it with her wherever she goes.
When resting, He asked 058 to stay outside the door, and when bathing, He asked 058 to serve as a waiter.
Cupid's bath is more like a kind of self-polishing.
He has eleven bathhouses. Although their styles and characteristics are different, they are still essentially a wonder building that uses various energies to polish their bodies, more like a training room.
Bathhouses are usually filled with high-temperature heat and harsh scraping sounds.
After each round of bathing, the tired Venus needs the attendant to clean up the place and apply paste-like soil on the surface of her energy body to reduce wear and energy loss.
The God of Love told it: "It is difficult to carry out natural material exchange in the star orbit, so you need to insist on this process yourself. If you cannot get rid of the outdated old things and obtain new supplements, then not only the physiological structure will tend to decay
With decay, the field of consciousness will gradually become rigid and conservative. Without movement and change, life will be very close to death."
"There is also a bath in your auxiliary hall, although it is a little small. Remember to take a bath, as this will keep you active."
058 says obey.
The god of love does not only have an energy body form.
During formal banquets, the God of Love will appear in costumes. He always appears as a one-armed figure, wearing an elegant and simple long skirt or robe. In the eyes of different people, the God of Cupid has different appearances, and He can be incomparably close to the beauty in the eyes of every life.
An ideal form to win the favor and closeness of everyone.
This is the power of loving God.
The reason why Cupid doesn't usually do this is not because he can't, but just because he is lazy.
"Do you know how much energy it takes to dress yourself up? It not only requires time, but also consumes a lot of energy, and ensures the efficient operation of [God of Love]. I also have to pay attention to everyone's feedback on me throughout the process."
"Normally, my energy state is relatively relaxed without makeup. Beauty is a kind of work for me."
He said so.
When going out to visit other jurisdictions for exchanges, Cupid also takes 058 with him.
This kind of visit brings no profit at all. The Star Gods use the method of learning and communication to extravagantly waste and consume various resources and energy of second-class stars - this is in line with the principles and norms of star orbits.
In the Star God's official residence, everyone is relatively restrained and polite at first, but after the polite part, they will get into a wild and indulgent mood.
There are three common entertainment methods in "Xu Liang Star". The first is indulgence. The Star Gods then select some rank children to have sex in their own way, and then provide them for everyone to watch and enjoy. They will also join in when they are interested.
The God of Love watched this with great interest, and commented with the other Star Gods on who was more engaged and full of tension, which shocked 058, who had just arrived.
The other one is dueling. Conflicts are alleviated through life-and-death duels between ranks - but it is more of a way to kill boredom. Most outstanding ranks die in duels at banquets.
058 I have asked this question in private.
It doesn't understand that when outstanding people are sent to second-class stars, aren't they used to build wonders?
They die for this strange reason, so who will do the work?
Venus said in a relaxed tone: "Second-class stars do not undertake any production capacity tasks. Our function as "Xuliang Star" is to develop new wonder buildings and improve efficiency through changes."
"What we actually have to do is to consume as much energy and assets as possible, otherwise the next cycle will be calculated based on the consumption of this cycle. We can't use too much, but too little won't work, so we have to steadily increase expenditures.
It is in the interest of "Xu Liang Star" and all star gods."
"Developing a new structure is not easy. Don't take it too seriously. Just make some fine adjustments. Relax your shoulders. A third-class star is pure hard work, but a second-class star is a place of enjoyment. You have to adapt to it slowly.
"
058 Only then did we realize that this is where the half-finished and damaged buildings in the City of Love came from.
It then thought: "Wouldn't this situation... lead to scrutiny?"
"Of course there is censorship."
Venus didn't care: "However, all functions of Star Track must be carried out strictly in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. What we do is compliant and reasonable. Does it violate the regulations? No. It is just exchange and learning, and necessary expenses."
The death of Zhizi is also a result of the movement and change of life."
"The first-class star "Pseudo-Pleiades" reviewed by the General Manager will supervise and investigate all second-class stars every cycle. Most of the star gods from that system understand us very well. Everyone is for one, and I am for everyone.
, This is the survival rule of the Star God."
He said softly: "But there are also a small group of Star Gods who try to change the existing order. Unfortunately, the order is not so easy to change. Instead, they will become punished, and even cause self-destruction due to dangerous operations."
"The Star God has a special management system, and there is also a complicated process to punish the Star God. The process is the most important law here, and every survivor must study this thing."
"This is the survival method of Xinggui. We must follow the rules instead of trying to forcefully change the laws of nature. We are not detached."
058 felt a chill in his heart.
It knew from its previous training in the magnetic sea that the star gods under the "Pseudo-Pleiades" are responsible for supervising and investigating other zodiac stars. The damage rate is extremely high, and many people disappear and die due to unknown reasons. There is a shortage of manpower all year round. It seems that
It is indeed easy to touch the interests of other second-class stars, and to investigate beyond the standards of the stars is a recipe for death.
The god of love takes it everywhere and answers all its questions.
This kind of love and care makes 058 feel very uneasy. However, it does not dare to check on the god of love for fear of arousing the other party's suspicion and vigilance.
"Lord Cupid, why do you appreciate me so much?" 058 asked.
Venus said: "I just like the freshness, and new people will have the freshness."
After the twelfth day, the God of Love seemed to have completely forgotten about the number 058, and even made it unable to enter and leave the official residence. The other orders told it, the God of Love is like this, you have been friends for a long time, and some of them are still close on the first day.
, he was disgusted and even locked up the next day.
This actually made 058 feel relieved.
On the fourteenth day, Cupid went out to visit and study, and 058 finally seized the opportunity and started sending signals with a magnetic sail. The weak signals were mixed with other signals in the void and would not be captured and analyzed by the Zodiac. This is why it went deep behind enemy lines to do intelligence work.
confidence.
"This is 007,058 where are you?"
The long-lost comrade's signal came from the magnetic field, making 058 excited.
It told 007, who was far away in "Xu Liang Si", about its own experiences.
007 respond immediately.
"Your information is of great significance. Please continue to lurk and stay safe. For safety reasons, your information will be passed to me first, and I will send it to the headquarters through weak signals."
058xin said that this is indeed a safe method.
It briefly summarizes the new intelligence obtained.
"There are no star gods in the first-class stars, only star officials exist, and the others are rank shadows. The auxiliary stars will only be allowed to approach when they need repair and maintenance. The main star serves as the center of the star orbit and forms its own system."
"The governance method of second-class stars is independent management by regional star gods, and the manpower reserve is expanded by absorbing outstanding ranks. However, the redundancy is extremely serious, and the operation is slow and bloated."
"The levels of the Star God are divided into three levels, with Level 1 being the lowest and Level 3 being the highest. The areas that different levels can govern also have different numbers of ranks."
"Third-class stars have the highest labor intensity, are also the core production areas, and have the harshest living environment."
It suddenly remembered that it had missed an important piece of information.
"In addition, some of the old gods were created here using the [First Law of the Old Gods]. I learned this when I attended the banquet. However, the main crown is very mysterious, and the star gods also like to chat about these things. He
We basically believe that the main crown is directly manufactured and distributed by the first-class star."
007 said over there.
"Keep in touch and stay hidden. I will report to the headquarters immediately."
