Chapter 397: A Guest From Capital Planet

After Feng Luo’s body turned hazy and started to transform into white light to enter the game in the Login Space…

Inside a Galactic Space Center floating above a large oasis on the 17th Administrative Planet in the real world, a large blackish-gray metallic civilian passenger spacecraft slowly landed. It was over ten kilometers long and came from the 10th Capital Planet. After landing, hundreds of spiraling ramps were released. As the ramps were released, an endless stream of people and freight robots started pouring out of the spacecraft.

The technology of the Star Federation was already very mature. As the spacecraft traveled, it was gradually adjusting its environment index to help the people acclimatize. As such, the passengers did not need to spend time entering an isolation chamber or go through environmental survival experiments. They only needed to waste a bit of time going through scans before entering the space center.

At that moment, a big limited edition luxurious hovercraft, the Star-S600, was parked at the entrance of VIP zone 1. Even though it was a rich area, it still attracted the attention of several passersby.

The logo on the hovercraft was the Xiao Family, one of the top ten families in the Federation for financial prowess as well as influence.

Beside this hovercraft, two people were standing there waiting for someone.

Although there were mobile intelligent chairs behind the two of them, they chose to stand and wait. It was clear that they were waiting for someone very important.

Before long, a woman wearing a pair of white high heels and sunglasses walked over to the hovercraft. Behind her was a silver mover robot that seemed like a roller wheel pulling her luggage.

“Cousin Chen!” She said after entering the car, her clear voice carried the capital’s accent that was quite different from the accent of people the 17th Administrative Planet. She had no intention of taking the sunglasses off her face.

“Cousin Luo Shui, welcome to the 17th Administrative Planet. If I remember correctly, it has been five years since we last met!” Said a handsome and tall man wearing hand-tailored green and white clothes.

The only defect was probably the fact that he would unconsciously squint his eyes when he spoke while the corner of his mouth would slant slightly to one side. It seemed to be a habit he developed.

Beside the man was another young man who was shorter. His hair was dyed in multiple colors while a luxury necklace priced at over 10 million, which was made from space crystal, hung on his neck. With a smile on his pale face that was the result of overindulgence in life, he greeted the lady wearing the sunglasses. “Miss Luo Shui!”

He was shorter than the woman from the Capital Planet who wore the most fashionable high heels. His eyes were only level with the lady’s half-covered face, right underneath her sunglasses.

Of course, even if he were taller than his counterpart, as he unconsciously lowered his body while smiling, he would probably only reach his counterpart’s chin.

“Five years, one month and three days. That’s the last time we met! When you followed uncle to the Capital Planet for grandpa’s birthday!” The lady’s voice sounded distant, yet close at the same time. As for the shorter young man’s greetings, she did not respond at all.

“Luo Shui, why were you on a civilian spacecraft? Moreover, you don’t even have any bodyguards with you? This is dangerous! Uncle will be extremely worried!” The handsome man also did not seem to care that his partner had completely been ignored. He continued to smile and express his concern with regard to this “cousin” of hers. The tone of his voice indicating that he was trying to please her.

Bodyguards still existed in this era, and most of them were still humans.

In truth, there was a period where robot bodyguards completely replaced humans in undertaking this extremely hazardous profession. However, a series of robot bodyguard programming problems that occurred later that endangered public safety made the Federation impose limits on the activity range of robot bodyguards. Thus, many people started to like employing powerful experts as their bodyguards again, to put up a facade.

Theoretically, no matter how intelligent machines were, without genuine consciousness, it was impossible for them to replace humans when doing certain things completely.

What about robots with consciousness? They would be wanted and destroyed by humans.

“You know, I don’t like to waste money on certain things.” The lady shook her head gently. A few strands of black hair swept past her snow-white jaw with the perfect curve underneath her sunglasses.

As he saw the scene before him, the overindulged short man had a weird look in his eyes. However, it vanished almost instantly. Then, he said while smiling, “Miss Luo Shui, let me load your luggage into the car.”

However, the mover robot had already pushed the luggage onto the car, so there was no need for humans to help.

The lady finally turned to look at the short man. She paused for a brief moment, “You’re called, Gou Fei [1]… Right?”

“Ugh… I’m called Gou Pei!” The smiling short man’s face sunk for a brief moment, but his smile quickly returned.

If someone else were to dare call his name incorrectly like this, he would have 100% gone mad. Moreover, he would make sure that the person who made the error suffer for years to come.

Even if the laws of the Federation were complete and the supercomputer network’s monitoring was everywhere, it wasn’t impossible for rich people to punish and kill someone.

The only thing was he did not dare to do it to the lady in front of him, even if the lady remembered his name wrong, he could only cautiously correct her. Actually, he felt a little bit happy.

Last time, when the short man, Young Master Gou, followed Xiao Family’s Young Master Xiao to the Capital Planet for a birthday celebration, his family, that had assets worth billions on the 17th Administrative Planet, became nobody as millionaires and billionaires were nothing special in that place.

So, for this woman to remember him in a situation like that, it was definitely an honor.

…

After a minute, seated alone in the backseat of the super luxurious hovercraft that was almost as big as a room, the lady’s sunglasses that covered her face slid to two sides automatically. They turned into objects that resembled earrings and exposed an alluring face with silky smooth skin that one would definitely regard as a beauty. At the same time, her face also seemed remarkably cool and noble.

Even as the Star Federation’s gene modification technology was quite advanced and even without plastic surgery, most people looked quite nice, this level of beauty was not something you’d see every day. Even a supposedly “perfect” woman who had undergone a series of gene modifications, as well as plastic surgery may not be able to beat her.

Compared to this woman, those women lack temperament.

The temperament of being born into one of the most influential and richest families in the Federation, receiving the most elite family education since she was a child, and being groomed within the highest-class social circle; the temperament of nobles.

Apart from that, even if those women had a similar temperament, they would still lack one more thing; their family name.

The Xiao last name of the Xiao Conglomerate that ranked in the top ten influential families in the Federation, that controlled and owned over trillions of star coins, and was comparable to nations.

Endnote

[1] Gou Fei means decadent.
