Chapter 21: The night view of the star-filled Star Skiffs, the delivery box blocking the way
Time passed quietly.
With Lin Mo drinking tea and listening to stories, time slipped away quietly, and soon it was evening.
The night at Xuanye Avenue was very prosperous, full of people everywhere, and many stalls were set up.
Seeing this, Lin Mo put down the teacup in his hand and got up to leave.
Half an afternoon spent drinking tea and listening to stories had allowed him to learn some more detailed stories about the Luo Fu.
Taking advantage of the prosperity of the night, he would take a good look at the Luo Fu.
Seeing Lin Mo get up, the fox-eared maid following behind him also took the initiative to settle the bill for Lin Mo.
After settling the bill, she followed obediently behind Lin Mo and walked outside.
"That guest of the Minghuoshang Society has left."
Seeing this, someone looked a bit envious: "I saw with my own eyes that he drank two more cups of Life Tea. Counting it up, he spent a full five million credits here at the Bu Ye Hou shop today."
Five million credits, what a massive figure. He didn't even dare to imagine it, yet it was spent so casually by someone.
"This guest must have made a great contribution to the Minghuoshang Society, otherwise they wouldn't be willing to pay the bill for him like this."
Someone whispered: "His value is definitely not just five million credits. The people of the Minghuoshang Society aren't fools."
If he were just an ordinary guest, why would the Minghuoshang Society be willing to spend so much money on one person?
Impossible.
"What you're saying is nonsense."
Someone said speechlessly: "As for why, if you want to know, you can go ask the Minghuoshang Society."
"Do you think the Minghuoshang Society would tell me?"
"Then there you go, just treat that person as a guest and be done with it."
One person after another began to communicate, and while they were communicating...
The fox-eared maid following Lin Mo said hurriedly: "My lord, I don't know what you plan to do next? Are you going to eat?"
"Eating isn't urgent."
Lin Mo shook his head gently: "Let's go to the center of the Star Skiff Sea. The center of the Star Skiff Sea at night should be very prosperous."
If one were to say that besides Xuanye Avenue, the Star Skiff Sea was prosperous, then another place was also very prosperous.
That was the Star Skiff Sea Hub.
There, one could see all kinds of star skiffs like shooting stars streaking across the sky. He hadn't seen it since he arrived, so now was the perfect time to go take a look.
"Very well."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, the fox-eared little maid nodded hurriedly and then led the way for the protagonist.
While leading the way, she explained: "The first impression many people have when entering the Luo Fu is the way star skiffs flow endlessly through the Jade Realm Gate like schools of fish and birds. Many people love to watch the spectacular scene of star skiffs passing through and causing congestion."
"I don't know if my lord knows about star skiffs."
"I know a little."
Hearing the fox-eared little maid's words, Lin Mo nodded gently: "In the language of the Xianzhou people, they call all vehicles capable of flight star skiffs, just like calling them spaceships. In a narrow sense, star skiffs should refer to those civilian, sharp-angled, streamlined small manned aircraft that travel back and forth within the Xianzhou star sector."
"I didn't expect my lord to have such an understanding of star skiffs, not a bit less than mine."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, the fox-eared little maid looked surprised.
Lin Mo had just arrived at the Xianzhou, yet he understood the Xianzhou's Star Skiff Sea so well. Many people wouldn't have such an understanding of star skiffs.
To the fox-eared little maid's words, Lin Mo smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Not long after, Lin Mo arrived at the Star Skiff Sea Hub, behind Xuanye Avenue.
Here, one could clearly see the phantom of the Jade Realm Gate projected in the distant sky, with various star skiffs shuttling back and forth, looking very beautiful.
Whether it was blue star skiffs or red star skiffs, their shapes were strange and varied, mixed with the brilliant light of the sky, very attractive.
Here, many people were gathered to watch, and both their words and faces were full of praise.
"Speaking of which, I'm planning to resign from my job at the Sky-Faring Commission."
When Lin Mo arrived at the bridge connecting to the Star Skiff Sea Hub and looked up at the star skiffs in the sky, there were two Sky-Faring Commission workers in front of him communicating.
One of the men looked up at the star skiffs overhead and sighed: "It's too tiring."
"If you resign, what do you plan to do?"
Beside him, the woman in the Sky-Faring Commission uniform looked surprised: "Why resign from this position for no reason?"
"Let's be a star skiff taxi driver."
The man sighed: "Driving a star skiff to transport people and passengers in various areas of the Xianzhou, strolling around, and being carefree."
"Hehe, then if I meet you next time, I'll give you a ticket."
Beside him, the woman teased: "By then, you'll have run a month's worth of taxi orders, and I'll have fined them all away."
"No way, do you have to be so cruel? We have this kind of friendship."
The man looked helpless, while the woman laughed out loud.
Lin Mo looked up, squinting his eyes at the shuttling star skiffs overhead, turned his head to look at the fox-eared maid beside him, and smiled lightly: "If I want to drive a star skiff, what procedures do I need to go through?" ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
