"Take this statue and find the other two as soon as possible," Chenxing said.

Han Xiao looked at the new statue. It was shaped like a faceless humanoid creature, with its back facing upwards and a huge eye on its chest. It was also very strange and weird. After getting it, the item introduction on the panel was the same, but there was an additional note.

[You find that these statues seem to be a set of items. If you collect all the statues, something unusual may happen]

Putting away the two statues, Han Xiao asked: "For the sake of 100,000 innars, I accept this employment. Where will I find you after the job is completed?"

"My schedule is very full. You won't be able to find everything in a short time anyway. I will give you the assistant's communication number later. When you finish, just notify him." Chenxing smiled, charming.

Although he knew the location of the statues, Han Xiao did not choose to get all three before coming here, otherwise it would look very suspicious. At least now Chenxing thought that meeting Han Xiao was just luck.

Morning Star itself is also looking for the statue, but it has not been found. Having two statues can enable it to sense the location of other statues in a wider range. If it were not very sensitive to the frequency of the statue's telepathy, Morning Star would not be able to find Han Xiao in the crowd.

Unexpectedly, we encountered another statue during this performance trip.

Even though Chenxing smiled softly like a shallow sea at this moment, Han Xiao knew that this guy was very excited.

Chenxing's explanation that he was a collector was of course nonsense. Han Xiao knew his details clearly.

This singer is a telepathic artist who uses her singing voice to exert her telekinesis. Although she looks soft and weak, if Morningstar is willing, she can fire a few banshee screams and soul high notes at any time. Her combat effectiveness is at least B level, precisely because she contains telekinesis.

, his singing sounds very shocking, and these four statues have a special effect on Morning Star, which can enhance his telepathy.

The four statues are originally a set of sacrificial totems, which are prayed by believers day and night and come from the Ethereal Sect.

The pragmatism of the Ethereal Religion and the Red Empire is different from the liberalism of the Federation of Radiance. This cosmic civilization has a strong religious worship atmosphere and is very mysterious.

In the understanding of most planet-level and galaxy-level civilizations, religious beliefs are only spiritual comfort and ideological insights. At most, they can guide individuals to choose another three perspectives to face life. Some civilizations even regard religion as

Social cancer.

But the routes of evolution are diverse. The gods worshiped by most religions are fictitious, but some are real. The Ethereal Sect is lucky to be the latter. They were also barbarians in the beginning, but they are different from the technological side of slash-and-burn farming or magic.

Looking at the historical process of the first awakened people, the ancestors discovered a way to communicate with the real gods. When the worshiped gods can actually "give back" to the believers, and when religious worship can make technology and society progress, the structure and customs of civilization will naturally be different from most technologies.

Or the magical civilization is completely different.

What are gods? Using magic to understand them, they should be magical entities with huge power, just like some magicians who can make contracts to gain power. Using technology to explain them, gods are high-dimensional beings that conventional species cannot detect with physical senses.

Most of the images that Wei projects into the real world are weird and weird, so those who don't have enough personality are basically false gods.

In these two explanations, the relationship between believers and gods is usually mutually beneficial. However, the more developed a civilization is, the more cautious it is in researching gods, and they will never jump to conclusions.

The Ethereal Religion has its own explanation for the existence of gods, and has an incredible technology to make the object of belief a real existence! For example, if a religious god is fictitious, the Ethereal Religion has a way to make it real.

Of course, according to their statement, "all the gods have already existed, waiting to be worshiped, and we are just building bridges for lost seekers." In short, the gods are babbling, and Technician Han is not interested in it.

Therefore, in addition to the Supreme Spirit Lord worshiped by itself, the Ethereal Sect also gathers countless other religious believers and is the common holy place for all faiths in the star sea. These four statues are religious totems that realize the gods, embodying the long-lasting sacrifices.

The idea of ​​worship.

Most of these are information that Han Xiao has seen from various documents. The three cosmic-level civilizations all have incredible abilities. Of course, he does not care about such a huge problem at this time. At the moment, his goal is only to complete this task.

…

After the celebration, Han Xiao said goodbye to Morning Star and returned to the rental spaceship.

"What did you gain?"

Melos looked curious.

"Oh, I received an offer of 100,000 innars."

"Oh, that's a lot!" Melos was pleasantly surprised, "If you save a little more money, you can equip a good model of spaceship."

"It's not necessary at the moment. Fuel consumption, shipyard maintenance, replacement of parts, and updating of equipment all cost money."

Han Xiao waved his hand. At least he had to wait until his technology could repair the spaceship before he could significantly reduce the cost. After all, it cost more to maintain a car than to buy one. In the previous life, it was in a later version that everyone had a ship to fly. Before that,

, generally only large guilds maintain spaceships.

Intercepting the gray force's spaceships and selling them to the shipyards at cost price is a way to make money. If you have the opportunity, you can cooperate with the big mercenary groups, but most of the time you can only add to it. In air battles, the ship-owning people are the main force.

...unless you let yourself sail.

The destination was set and the spacecraft rumbled off.

Since he was familiar with the key points of the mission, Han Xiao did not need to waste time. A statue fell on a deserted planet and was buried underground. He could just go and get it. The normal way was to collect information and conduct a blanket search. He avoided all the most difficult steps.

There were no twists and turns on this trip. He landed on the planet, went straight to the location, and dug out the third mysterious statue. Except for the time he had to spend on the road, he didn't waste a second. According to the player's experience, he saved at least more than twenty days.

time.

But the last statue has an owner.

For this mission, everyone has traveled to many areas. This time they returned to the Terrarium star cluster and entered the fourth star sector of the East River galaxy.

"Secret Blue Star, there is civilization on this planet. At that time, the interstellar civilization that detected this planet did not communicate with the local civilization for unknown reasons, nor did it reveal its whereabouts, which means that the Secret Blue Star civilization did not know

There were once visitors who did not know the exact appearance of the cosmic forces. They were natives in the usual sense, even more native than Aquamarine.

However, this planet's geographical...er, astronomical position is special, and it is exactly on the route of a wormhole group ejecting objects, so a lot of space junk often falls on their planet,"

Han Xiao opened the star map and introduced it to everyone.

"The extraterrestrial things allowed them to launch some technologies that were beyond their own level, but due to the technological gap, their gains from them were limited.

At the same time, these garbage let them know for sure that there are other civilizations in the universe, but their understanding only goes so far.

It is worth mentioning that these space junks from different civilizations showed different technical systems to Blue Star, so in the early stages of civilization development, they simultaneously studied different technical systems, magic, technology, and runes.

Crystals, etc., being mixed but not refined may not be a good thing for an embryonic civilization. In short, their technological level has not yet reached the level of aerospace."

After tapping the screen, Han Xiao said in a deep voice.

"And the last statue is the 'space junk' that fell on this planet. It is regarded as another product of new technology by a local force and is tightly controlled."

"Boss, what are you going to do?" I don't know if it was the elder of the Volga brothers who asked.

"Come directly and make demands. If you don't get what you want, beat them. Beat them until you give in."

Han Xiao's tone was decisive.

Melos was stunned and said, "Isn't this good? Why not negotiate and give them some information about the cosmic environment in exchange for the statue."

Han Xiao shook his head.

In previous lives, players doing quests also thought the same way.

Due to technical differences, Secret Blue Star was divided into different forces, fighting with each other. After choosing to negotiate, the force with the statue claimed to be a rare commodity. The lion opened his mouth and first asked for a lot of cosmic information. The player complied, and then

He asked for a lot of advanced knowledge and technology, and the player did so. In the end, the other party actually made an excessive request to let the "interstellar visitor" conquer other forces for him, which was a slap in the face.

The player finally gave up and fought hard before the other party handed over the statue obediently. This proved that the previous negotiations were meaningless and it would be better to provide a complete door-knocking service from the beginning.

To deal with such a urinary target, if you don't show your fists, people will think that you will respond to every request.

Of course, if you can patiently satisfy the other party's requirements, you can still get the statue, and it can also trigger other tasks, but for Han Xiao, it is obviously the most convenient to use force.

In this case, Han Xiao did not want to waste time and chose to directly airdrop and kick the door.

…

Northwest of Mystic Blue Star, City of Runes.

This is a city built by rune technology. It is located in the middle of a forest. The houses and buildings are engraved with curving runes, shining with blue and white light. The architectural style is mainly slender, light, and triangular. Every other

There is a towering obelisk some distance away, engraved with energy-draining runes. The ubiquitous obelisk is the energy core of the city. There are no city walls on the edge of the city, and the buildings gradually become lower, turning into villages, extending into the forest.

Many years ago, some space junk fell here, which contained the secrets of rune technology. The pioneers introduced some technologies and slowly built this city. Now it is one of the major forces of the Blue Star.

It was dark night at this time.

In a forest forty kilometers away from Rune City, dozens of people built a temporary camp here. The campfire runes glowed with steady red light, spreading warmth. Everyone sat around, wearing leather clothes and armor with runes engraved on them.

.Animal-repelling runes are placed on the edge of the camp, and the green light is shining brightly, allowing the beasts and insects that rustle in the darkness to retreat.

"Captain, how much can we sell this batch of goods on the black market in Rune City?" A young man rubbed his hands in an expectant tone.

The captain was a thin man who looked like a mouse. He chuckled and said, "Someone is secretly purchasing space junk in Rune City. We can earn at least 8,000 fess from this batch of goods we hoarded."

This is a smuggler group, and what they sell is space junk. Every time, garbage spewed by wormholes will fall at different locations on the planet. This garbage has research value, and various forces are vigorously collecting it, but there is always something that slips through the net.

Therefore, the space junk black market was born to purchase these extraterrestrial objects, and smugglers are gangs who look for space junk everywhere and sell it to the black market.

Woohoo

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a scream, the volume became louder and louder, like a knife, cutting through the silence of the night. They hurriedly stood up and looked, and saw a ball of fireballs appearing in the night sky, heading in this direction.

Fly here.

The smugglers were so familiar with this voice that they suddenly felt surprised.

"Space junk!"

The bolide quickly approached, passing over everyone's heads quickly, whipping up strong winds, swaying the forest, and rustling the leaves. Then, the meteor fell not far away, cutting off a small piece of trees and making a loud bang.

Boom!!

The ground shook, and everyone staggered and almost fell.

Not far away, fire and smoke were rising. The captain took a look and his face was ecstatic.

"We are lucky! This space junk fell very close to us, and we had time to take away the rubbish before the collection team from Rune City arrived!"
