Overturned Tower

In order to prepare for this trip back to Sogo Island, Russell and Delphinium went out to do some shopping on Sunday.

Although he has no relatives to turn to on Sogo Island, Russell still has some friends and playmates.

Rather, with "Russell"'s character and talent, it's hard to be hated even if you don't pretend to be your character.

Looks are closer to "cute" and "beautiful" than handsome. However, Russell does not have that hesitant and soft character, nor is he cowardly enough to make people feel disgusted, but rather bold, straightforward and straightforward in his dealings with others. It feels closer to "a neutral beautiful girl with a free and easy personality" than "a delicate and beautiful boy".

Although the family conditions are not good, Alice has taught Russell from an early age not to be too stingy with others.

Even if he only has a pack of snacks, he can readily share it with his partners. Even if each of his partners has more than ten times more pocket money than him, Russell never asks the other party to buy this or that for him.

But with Russell's likability, when he is being fed, he will not push back hypocritically.

And his physical agility and academic performance are also top-notch. Except that his strength is really weak, so that he always needs help from others to help with lifting heavy objects...in other respects, Russell can always help others. He also has a good personality, he won't get angry even if he is joked about, and he can hang out with almost everyone.

So the number of Russell's "friends" is quite complicated.

From the lecturer of Sogo University, the company dog ​​of Sogo Group, the bishop of the Cyber ​​Church... to the terrorist who was wanted for killing his boss, the arms dealer who sold guns in the black area, and the leader of the underground gang, it can be said that they are Anyone can have it.

"When I came to Happy Island, I didn't actually say goodbye to my friends."

While driving the floating car, Russell said to the delphinium sitting in the back with some nostalgia: "Because I'm worried that if I tell them, I might be stopped by them.

"Many of them know that I used to want to go to Shenzhi Heavy Industry. Some people want me to work with them... In their view, Happy Island is not a suitable destination for me. If they know, I choose to go Happy Island is only because of Alice's last wish, not my own ideas, I'm afraid they will directly stop me."

"But wouldn't that be too violent?"

Delphinium frowned: "That's your mother's last wish after all."

"Indeed."

Russell said helplessly, "But not all my friends like to be reasonable."

Soon, the floating car stopped at the middle floor of "Happiness Building". Both Russell and Delphinium have their own garage here, where they store their floats separately.

No matter how professional security and surveillance are, there will always be omissions or bribes. If someone planted a bomb, implanted a virus, or released a slow-release poison gas in the floating car, even a big shot might be easily assassinated. Therefore, when shopping in such a large commercial building, the floating vehicles that drive over are parked directly in a separate storage room—although for experts like Russell and Delphinium who can easily sneak into the matrix space, this level of security is not enough. In fact, the gap with non-existence is not very big.

But for most wealthy people, they would rather trust machines than security.

However, although Russell and Delphinium were allocated two rooms from the company, they actually only needed one car.

This new floating car was bought by Russell recently, and the previous delphinium one was given to her father. It was a public car approved with public funds from the executive department when Delphinium first started working, and she didn't actually pay for it. Although it can still be used, if it is based on the standard of multi-person travel, the space in the rear seat is a bit small-the specification of that car is "small", and theoretically only the rear seat can sit two people facing each other. Although there is a small table in the middle of the back seat, but if you are a little bigger, your knees can easily touch the table.

If you follow the less safe way of riding... the driver is sitting on a horizontal sofa anyway, and one or two people can be squeezed beside him. back

If you curl up your body, you can probably sit in four small units.

But Russell lay on the bed and thought about it, and it seemed that this was not necessary.

The time they were almost killed by a dump truck before, it was because the delphinium's floating car couldn't accommodate too many people, so they changed to other modes of travel.

So Russell simply took out one-third of his savings and directly bought a car of the same model as Heiku.

Taking into account the business needs of the floating car, the rear seats are all facing each other. And the back seat of this car can not only easily seat four people, but its height is also sufficient. Even a big man with horns on his head like the inferior one doesn't need to bend over.

Moreover, the last row where the delphinium is now sitting has directly turned into a soft sofa. It can also be folded flat at any time, directly into a double bed with a width of 1.8, and a small bedside table.

Boss Hei Lian often takes his girls in this luxury "RV" and takes them for a ride on the sea.

It is not a pure oil-driven or oil-gas mixed floating car, but a more difficult oil-gas-electric balanced three-wheel drive.

Its floating technology uses the latest "Sun Compass III" psionic floating disc produced by Thoth's spiritual energy, which is the same technology as the triple disc of Sun Island. It can keep the overflowing water cup from overflowing when accelerating to 480 kilometers per hour-this stability value is more than four times that of the model used by Delphinium before. This kind of speed can basically only be handed over to Al, and the "driver" can actually only play a role in route planning.

Its powerful floating device allows it to shoot directly on the sea surface and keep floating after leaving the sky island. After circling around the sea, climb up the height again along the mage tower, and return to the happy island along the steeple in the center of the downtown area.

This is undoubtedly a very exciting "ride". Whether it is a parabolic full speed, rushing from an empty island to the sea, bungee jumping that stirs up waves, or a 90-degree vertical long-distance climb on the return journey, it is more exciting than a roller coaster.

The most exciting thing is that every time I come back, the fuel is almost used up... When climbing the slope, seeing the fuel gauge drop off, and the tower seems to be a long way to go back, is the most exciting part.

Boss Heiku also invited Russell several times to go out with him and the two girls in the back row—but Russell already had a family, so he chose to decline every time. And after the official announcement between Russell and Delphinium, he didn't invite Russell to participate in such random occasions.

Obviously, although the eldest brother looks rough, his emotional intelligence is still fine. He knew that this might cause conflicts on Russell's side. Only when the delphinium would not be misunderstood would he invite Russell to play together, or simply invite the delphinium together.

The previous delphinium model was launched locally by Tianen Group. The floating technology and stabilization technology are behind an era. When the speed reaches 120 miles per hour, there will be obvious vibration. Russell was always worried about flying too fast and the car would fall apart. This time I changed to a new car directly, and I was finally satisfied.

"It's just a pity...Although it can fly very far, it can't cross the ocean and fly directly to Sogo Island."

Russell sighed, "But I calculated, it should be able to run more than half the distance. If you can change the car halfway, it can really fly out."

"It's useless."

Delphinium went around the table and lay down on the seat behind Russell, playing with Russell's ears: "This is obviously designed - no one can enter other sky islands without going through the airship."

"That's not necessarily..."

Russell thought of the heavy machine: "The heavy machine may be able to."

"No way. Although the floating time is enough and the speed is enough...but the heavy machine needs to be connected to the Internet, and the network is launched from the center of the sky island."

"Tsk. What a pity. "

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course it's to go home and show off," Russell said confidently, "this is the time to return home. The most convincing and reassuring way for them is to tell them... I am also doing well in Happy Island.

"It's just a pity

, the credit points of different sky islands are not universal. And a large item like a floating car can’t be driven back…”

"So I'll go back with you."

Delphinium smiled and said, putting her head on Russell's shoulder obediently: "Am I not good enough?"

"But I'm not sending you out."

Russell said casually, pinching Delphinium's face without looking back: "Help me think about it—is there any famous specialty in Happy Island?"

"...Are you asking about local specialties?"

The delphinium's expression was a little subtle, ": I didn't know you didn't have anything there... how would you know that something is a specialty of ours. If you want to talk about specialties, you should be yourself."

The most valuable export item of Happy Island is obviously "idol".

The idol trainees from Happy Island are the highest-level playthings in Qikong Island. And Russell is the highest level existence in this field.

"makes sense…"

Russell pondered: "If you want to say, the various movies, variety shows, and animations on Happy Island are all specialties. When I was in Sogo Island, there were not so many programs."

"Don't you have a TV over there?"

"There are, but there are not so many. Generally, there is one channel for news, one channel for movies, and two or three channels for animation and TV dramas. Variety shows are a rare thing... Our variety shows there are very messy. It’s like a group of clubs. I am afraid that I will be imprisoned in turn under the camera. I can only pay online to watch some variety show videos smuggled from Happy Island.”

Russell said softly with some nostalgia: "But because it's too expensive, I can't watch it. I'll just rub other people's brains to watch it..."

"Is it wired?"

Delphinium said suddenly.

"what?"

Russell didn't react for a moment.

Delphinium added: "Is it a direct wired connection?"

"Sometimes yes... and sometimes it's a projection screen."

"Then when you go back this time, you can no longer connect directly with others by cable."

Delphinium said quietly: "You have a lot of secrets now, you can't connect with others casually."

"I know," Russell raised his mouth slightly, "I only have a cable with you, is that okay?"

"It's more or less..."

Delphinium groaned and retreated into the seat, waiting for Russell to stop the floating car.

But at this moment, she suddenly thought of something: "I said, why don't you buy some of that and try..."

"…Eh?"

Russell was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"

When they returned, Bad Day looked at the package that Russell and Delphinium brought back, and couldn't help showing a subtle expression.

"...Why did you buy a bunch of messy things and come back and you plan to use this thing as a gift and souvenir?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is already at the level of smuggling."

Russell looked at the huge pile of things, and couldn't help sighing: "If Delphinium and I were not planning to take a private airboat for a business trip this time, it would be really difficult to pass the test."

"——So apart from daily necessities, you bought a bunch of collections of variety shows, film and television drama videos, and adult versions of transcendental data chips"

Bad Day looked at a suitcase full of chips on the table, and couldn't help showing the expression of an old man's subway phone: "Although it's not "taboo" level, but this thing...is essentially the same as the chip, are you sure you want it? Give this kind of thing to your ex-friends.”

Hearing this, it was Russell and Delphinium who looked at him with weird eyes, making Bad Rit take a step back a little guilty: "What...what?"

"I said... I remember you don't have a girlfriend."

Russell raised his head, and said with a subtle expression, "You've never been exposed to this kind of thing, have you?"

Hearing the words, Bad Day glared at Russell, "I'm more or less a swordsman for this kind of thing. Is there any value in seeing this filthy and unclean thing?"

"And you, as the most wanted criminal

, and it is obviously impossible to go to places like the Compass Area and the Giant Screen Area; as far as I know, you have never had any friends of the opposite sex; and you probably have no way to buy a servitor from Sogo Island..."

Russell's gaze towards Bad Ri suddenly became more subtle.

He hesitated for a moment, then patted Bad Ri on the shoulder who was older than himself and said, "You are considered an adult."

With that said, Russell gave Bad Day a chip. He thought about it, and stuffed him with a few more.

"If there is a chance, I will try my best to bring a servitor back to see you off. This way, when you get old, you can have a companion."

Russell comforts the bad day.

Bad day was so angry that his teeth itched: "Is it amazing that you have a wife?"

"One thing to say, that's true—you just say whether you want it or not."

"No, I'm not interested in this kind of stuff—"

The voice of the bad day was raised a little higher.

"Otherwise," Russell interrupted Bad Day's words suddenly, "I won't inform the strangler and the bad guys, lest they find out. Those two idiots can't act. It just so happens that I'm quite tired from shopping today. , Flotie and I stayed at home to rest... As a reward, shall I pack a box of chips for you?"

"…also."

After the bad day left, Russell silently shrugged at Delphinium.

Delphinium came over with a smirk, put her hands in from under Russell's clothes, and touched Russell's chest: "Are you afraid that their acting skills will be seen by them, huh?"

"Do you know that I can't touch you now, you are getting bolder... You are not deliberately teasing me, are you? Besides, I am the main body now, what is there to touch!"

"Then change it for me!"

On Monday morning, when he and Delphinium were at work...his Uncle Dodgeson, the director of Daju, came to the Special Operations Department as expected, and announced to Russell and Delphinium that they would immediately go to Sogo Island for a business trip.

This instruction from chairman Sai Lun obviously made Dodgson very disturbed.

He specifically repeatedly told Russell and Delphinium to be safe on the road, and then accompanied them back to pack their luggage, sent them to the empty boat, and stuffed some gold bars for Russell, and agreed with him—remember to replace them with gold bars when you get there. credit points.

The credit points of different sky islands are not universal, but gold in this era is still a serious hard currency.

High-purity gold is an essential material for floating devices. So it is restricted to a certain extent. Only the executives of the Big Seven can buy a small amount of gold bars with credits from the local branch of Thoth Power.

And as long as you hold gold bars, you can sell them from Thoth's spiritual power in exchange for credits. Those high commission credit conversion businesses in the black market are also related to Thoth power and gold smuggling.

It is a symbol of status to hold such a high-level equivalent that can still retain the full value of the trading system that is not universal across different sky islands.

The gold bars that Dodgson gave to Russell probably accounted for one-third of his deposit. And they just met for the first time a year ago... In the position of uncle, Dodgson has already done the limit of what he can do.

Russell looked at his haggard face, and his fat face that had rarely lost a circle, and he hesitated to speak.

Obviously ~www.wuxiahere.com~The radicalization of Sai Lun and other elf directors put too much pressure on these human directors.

But his uncle is obviously also an honest man who can't hide things in his heart.

If he knew too much, maybe Russell's plan would be different.

So he was still ruthless and didn't tell him anything—Russell on the side of the emperor and Bingshui had passed his anger. With the old emperor watching him, it shouldn't be a big problem.

When Russell and Delphinium boarded the airship, Russell was already thinking about the death of "Ultramarine".

Today is May 8th, and Russell's birthday is May 11th...they'll have to spend at least their birthday in Sogo Island, and then they may not be back for a few more days.

——Then the day when the rumors will be announced should be on the eleventh.
