Chapter 66 City of Stars
Each Dark Star Commissioner has a black card that records their income. In addition to the almost negligible weekly salary, the source of their income is mainly the points earned from each mission.
Points can be exchanged for anything you want inside Dark Star, whether it is spiritual weapons, potions, cultivation techniques, various materials, or even vacation travel, a night of spring dinner, etc. for all the uses you can think of. Externally, Can be exchanged for stars.
One point can be exchanged for 1,000 star dollars. Although this ratio is slightly lower than the actual purchasing power within Dark Star, compared to the nearly bottomless pit of selling gold, exchanging it into star dollars is actually a more reliable method.
But neither of these is a good way for Xuan Yi.
Bringing a lot of money back would certainly improve his and his sister's lives, but the source of the money could not be explained. After all, in Xing Lihua's eyes, Xuan Yi was just a fifteen-year-old boy working in a Xingcheng factory.
So every time he went back, Xuan Yiyi brought back the salary that an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy could earn. This time he came out because the factory wanted to send him to study abroad.
And it was not Xuan Yi's original intention to squander it inside Dark Star. It was not easy for him to make money, and the poison in his body always required a large amount of drugs to fill its appetite. It was fine at first, but recently after it started taking spiritual liquid, Xuan Yi Yi has been living beyond his means for a long time, and every time he gets poisoned, he uses powerful anesthetics to deal with it. Only on this mission did the boy exchange all his remaining savings into spiritual liquid.
As for why he came to get Jiu San's card, that's another story.
This group of trained children started doing tasks when they were ten years old, and then they died one after another at a faster rate.
If the black card left by the dead person is not claimed, it will be canceled by Dark Star after half a year, so this group of children came up with a simple and efficient way to deal with this situation - all their cards , sharing a set of keys, whichever member is confirmed dead, the remaining points in his black card will be divided among the remaining people. It is by relying on this behavior of eating the corpses of his companions that he and Jiu San can win every time After the mission, they received more rewards to strengthen themselves, and finally lived together until now.
As for now, Jiu San is dead, so there is only one person left who can inherit his companion's legacy.
The uncle nodded. He was also not surprised by this situation. After confirming the key that he had heard countless times, he took out Jiu San's card and handed it to Xuan Yi.
Xuan Yi took the cold black card. For some reason, he always felt that the cold girl's body temperature remained on the black card, so he was stunned before he transferred the other party's points to his own black card. .
In this way, the last trace of Jiu San in the dark star has been erased.
Jiu San's remaining points are not many, only thirty points. It seems that Jiu San also redeemed most of the points before entering the trial. This is because, as she said, she has to give it to her parents after she comes out. I was buying gifts, so I set aside some money in advance.
After the handover was completed, Xuan Yi waved to the uncle and left quietly.
For a long time, they had maintained a strange tacit understanding with this uncle. The uncle never asked them what their mission was, what they had experienced, how a certain companion died, and so on.
First of all, curiosity killed the cat, and the members of Dark Star were so curious that they almost died.
Secondly, it is similar to Xuan's attitude toward the Qianli siblings.
Keep your distance so that you can remain indifferent when the other person dies.
With the black card newly loaded with thirty points, Xuan Yi went all the way to Dark Star's Management Department, where the finance office exchanged the thirty points into three thick stacks of large-denomination bills that smelled of ink. , he finally walked out of the ANBU building.
Different from the other six movies on the surface, the Anbu's office building is not in the office area of Star City. Instead, it bought an entire twenty-seven-story building in the busy business district, and added a fourteen-story-deep building. The underground space together formed the Dark Star organization that hovered over the entire star city. As far as Xuan Yi knew, even in the entire world, Dark Star was the largest, most confidential and most powerful intelligence organization, serving the entire world. The dark forces provide a network of communication.
But few people know that this terrorist organization is actually located in the downtown area of Star City, adjacent to the chain restaurant Billy Fried Chicken, and opposite the Star City Department Store.
The so-called great hiddenness in the city is nothing more than this.
The June sun was extremely hot, and Xuan couldn't help but reach out to cover his eyes as soon as he walked out of the building.
For the past six days, he had either been in the dark forest or simply crawled into the darker underground. Things like sunlight had almost no chance for him, so being exposed to the sun at this time made Xuan Yi a little uncomfortable.
The noisy sounds and the air with a strange smell hit our faces. These smells include human body odor, a slight stench from the underground drainage system, the smoke of fried food and the smell of vegetation along the roadside. The stench that permeated the city and the heat wave hit him made Xuan Yi realize that July was one step closer.
Xuan Yi stood at the door of the Dark Star Building, with a long staircase nearly thirty meters high at his feet. He looked at the tall buildings rising one after another in front of him, and he felt as if he was looking at the ancient trees in the Forest of Death. The crowd at his feet Moving forward in a mediocre manner, like a group of ants running for a living. There are two-wheeled, four-wheeled, and even eight-wheeled vehicles passing through the streets. At the intersections, there are traffic officers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice who maintain order, and there are flashing lights. Traffic lights of three colors light up one after another.
He finally returned to this city, this terrifying behemoth, a hidden city exposed to the eyes of the world, the most prosperous and depraved place in the world, a city of miracles dreamed of by countless people.
The City of Stars, now more and more people just call it Star City.
Xuan Yi took the next step and stepped on the stairs. It seemed as if the Anbu building was not in the same world as this Star City. Now, he was about to return to the belly of this giant beast step by step.
...

"Sister,
everything is fine here, the food is good, and the instructors treat me well, so I plan to stay here for two more days to study further.
If everything goes well, wait When I go back, my monthly salary can be increased to 800 Xingyuan, so you can do less work.
Also, the instructor told me that there is a two-year closed training class here that specializes in learning management knowledge. After completing the course, I can become a workshop director, supervising dozens of people, and my monthly salary is 3,000 star dollars. I'm considering it. Do
n't worry about the tuition. This training class includes food and accommodation, and I can still do it in my free time. I have to work two more jobs, but I may not be able to see my sister in the short term.
I'm still considering it. I hope my sister is happy and healthy and doesn't worry too much about me.
Everything is fine here."
Xuan Yi wrote the last one He folded the letter paper and put it into an envelope. After affixing a stamp, he wrote his own address and stuffed it into the mailbox outside the post office.
Of course, the so-called training is fake, but what he will face next is the scrutiny of the entire Dark Star. If he shows a slight flaw, he will be doomed, so if something unexpected happens, he will have to go to the two-year closed training. The class was stunned.
I hope that after two years, Xing Lihua can somewhat forget about his younger brother.
Thinking like this, Xuan Yi picked up the small metal box and left the dark green mailbox.
Thanks for the tip from my classmate who will drink another cup in the next life.
