When the girl host left, Wang Hu was sitting alone in a chair wondering where the money would come from.

Xi Ran appeared, patted him on the shoulder and praised, "Well done!"

Wang Hu???

Are you making fun of me?

Xirang didn't see his expression, and was still minding his own business and said, "Activate all the synthetics to become the most closely connected allies, and immediately have a broad base. This step is simply a stroke of genius!"

"Acquire the favor of the local host, not too many. As long as three or four are willing to help you, you can form a small independent transportation network. In this way, people can advance, attack, retreat and defend, which is equivalent to having a solid base."

"Wait a minute, what's going on with the independent transportation network? As far as I know, a network can only be formed if it is dominated by a superior earth host, like the City of Auroville, the Citadel, and the original Earth in the past."

"The core of the legendary battleship can also be used." Xirang smiled.

Wang Hu's heart shuddered. It turns out that the host network seems to be defensive, but it is actually offensive?!

"The middle zone is also a good place. It is far away from the core of the empire and at the same time very close to me (at the end of the chasm). I have no problem with you choosing this place, even if you hide it from me... Come on!" Xirang waved his fist.

"Don't worry about the difficulties, I will help you, let's take the first step steadily!"

Wait a minute, what do you think I did? Wang Hu was very confused.

"That's not what you think?" Xirang observed his expression. Did I understand it wrong?

No, he's taking these few steps too steadily, he's very cunning!

Do you still want to keep hiding it from me?

"Don't lie to me... I've guessed it all, and Liao Lan must have guessed some of your thoughts. That's why he told you - the host can't be trusted!"

"The meaning of that sentence is not to doubt, but to tell you that the host is not a creature that only knows to follow the rules. They also have their own ideas. In this situation where the empire is falling apart, if you can gain the favor of the host, you can gain the host.

support."

"You help them complete the process of helping humans move into the universe, which is equivalent to helping them evolve. Of course the host will be grateful to you. And the prerequisite for helping is to join our network, so there is no resistance... This plan is perfect!"

"Wait a minute!" Wang Hu stopped him. He hesitated and asked, "When did you start having this idea?"

"From the time you rejected Liao Lan and insisted on becoming a Freelancer." Xirang said naturally, "I didn't understand your choice at the time, but later I understood that your plan was the best.

"Only by becoming a Freelancer can you have the most convenient contact with the host and increase the favorability of the host. The rewards are not important at all."

"I...I think so?" Wang Hu was also unsure. "But the favorability of the last host was -500."

"Ha~ woman." Xirang sneered, "The sign of the number is not important at all, the size of the number is important. Believe it or not, as long as you try to establish a network, she will be the first host to join."

Xirang, no one knows consoles better than me!

Wang Hu felt that he should consult a few more people, so he turned around and asked, "People are dead, do I really think so?"

[Boss, no matter what you think, I will always support you! Please remember our slogan, don’t abandon, don’t give up.] I was trembling with fear, I was with Wang Hu all day long, and I didn’t even notice him

Is this this deep Lao Wang? I’m so scared to death!

Forget it, Wang Hu suddenly felt that it would be nice to have such a place.

This place is far away from the core area of ​​​​humanity. In fact, even if the Human Alliance comes to receive it, it is beyond its reach. The alliance in a defensive posture will most likely regard this as a buffer zone.

Wang Hu has fought too many wars, and he knows what a buffer zone is like, and it is definitely not a good choice.

In addition, although Liaolan's earth is very good, it always gives him a sense of alienation, which makes building a new home with his own hands very attractive.

What's more, Xirang was right. He had already awakened the synthetics, so he had to prepare a way out.

In the future, it is not possible but necessary to find a way to solve the life span of synthetic humans and give all synthetic humans a home without strange eyes.

"Okay, let's do it." Wang Hu stood up and made up his mind, and said casually, "But I want to emphasize that I have never really thought that becoming a Freelancer is for freedom."

"I understand." Xirang said.

【Understood!】This is the answer given by Ren Gu.

Wang Hu,…

I always feel that you don't really understand.

*****

Since I have something to do, I can put it on hold temporarily if I go to the Dawn Sector to see my friends.

The Matrix world does not require Wang Hu to enter - to help Neo defeat the Matrix, or to help the Matrix defeat Neo, there is no need! They are filming a sequel, everything is normal.

This host mission can be regarded as a special material trade.

Wang Hu is required to provide a large amount of food, energy and some repair parts that cannot be manufactured on earth currently, and the reward is superpowers, attribute points, lifespan and favorability of the host.

The most important thing this time is not the combat power, but the massive amount of stars.

Wang Hu chose to stop in the Kruger sector and get in touch with the local FTU director.

He directly stated that he had a batch of valuable goods in hand that needed to be traded internally.

As a member of this alliance and having dealt with him several times, Wang Hu has a certain degree of trust in FTU, a business organization.

In the first transaction, Wang Hu directly took out two battleship main guns to suppress the situation, along with a large amount of sensitive materials. Some of them were taken from pirate treasures, and the other part came from Endoria.

The value assessment was not smooth. The main gun is undoubtedly a military material. The market price of a brand new one is around 400,000 stars, but there is no market for it. Ordinary people cannot buy it at all. It is unrealistic to sell for excess profit. If it exceeds the price of new goods,

The price, given the strength of FTU, may not be unavailable... Both parties are stuck here.

Later, Wang Hu proposed at the right time that it could be converted into commodities and the road would be opened at once.

The selling price of the product itself has a profit, and there is still room for profit. If Wang Hu sells the product and then buys something again, he will make money twice. This is a choice that is beneficial to both parties.

The first batch of goods exchanged was 40 space hydroponic farms - the kind of huge rotating rollers used in standard space station construction to create standard gravity, which can be used to live in people or build factories or farms.

Hydroponic farms are drums that have been equipped with internal special facilities, and the production cycle is planned to allow for continuous production.

This batch of hydroponic farms will be sent to Xinang for multi-layer transformation to further improve efficiency... Of course, Xinang will definitely take it apart and take a look. If it is simple, then there is no need to buy it and just produce it by ourselves.

Maybe it's a better version.

The crops in the hydroponic farm itself grow very quickly, and they are harvested every two months. In addition to the time advantage of growing soil, it takes about a week after conversion. 40 huge space hydroponic farms can satisfy 500 million people.

Nutritional needs of...

In fact, it’s interesting to think about it. In the world of The Matrix, some people eat T-bone steaks in gourmet restaurants and some eat steamed buns in the park, but in essence they are all receiving nutritional fluids.

Wang Hu does not need to directly supply food to 10 billion people. As long as the food gap is filled first, it can still sustain it for a long time.

The most important thing is energy...

After the first batch of goods was successfully delivered, Wang Hu said to the person in charge of the local FTU, "I think we have established some trusting relationships. Are you interested in continuing to discuss sensitive business?"

"How sensitive can you be? I like doing business." The person in charge said with a smile, not taking it seriously at all.

Those two main guns are selling very well... Now is the war, and many sensitive materials are actually not that sensitive.

"I want antimatter and a supporting reactor." Wang Hu said.

The Matrix world already has nuclear fusion technology. Fossil energy is not enough to maintain such a large matrix. The core of the matrix is ​​powered by nuclear fusion.

But the problem is that there is no naturally occurring tritium on the earth, and deuterium is filtered from seawater... This process requires a large amount of fossil fuels. It is said that there are abundant reserves of helium-3 on the moon, but the reality is that today

None of the civilizations have established an energy circulation system based on the earth and moon, which shows that this idea should be just an idea.

"You're kidding." The person in charge stood up, not intending to listen any more.

"Why don't you listen to my quotation? It's worthy of what I want to buy." Wang Hu said with a smile.

"No, I don't want to hear it, because you don't know what you want to buy!" The person in charge picked up the handbag with some annoyance. "I have to leave."

"Okay, see you then." Wang Hu stood up and stretched out his hand.

The person in charge hesitated, then stretched out his hand to shake Wang Hu's hand. "Goodbye."

"Why don't we watch an opera together?" Wang Hu suggested with a smile. The person in charge stared at this shameless man speechlessly... She really wanted to go to the opera. The space station did not always have the opportunity for celebrities to visit, but there was no chance.

Reason not to work overtime.

But if you are with a client...

"All right."

After much hesitation, she agreed and walked into the opera house with Wang Hu.

Then she knew that Wang Hu knew nothing about opera! But it didn’t matter. Facing a handsome and frank man, this would not be an obstacle at all. When she talked about opera, Wang Hu would listen carefully and be able to express her feelings in a clear voice.

Giving feedback at the right time greatly increased her interest in talking.

They chatted from the opera house to the dinner table, then went to the bar, drank and talked, and finally went to...

A night of confusion.

The next day, when the female person in charge woke up, she saw the back of Wang Hu getting dressed and preparing to leave.

Strong back muscles look hungry.

"I know what you are thinking, and I can't agree to it... That's very unprofessional... I mean, you won't do it because of this..." She hugged the pillow and said with complicated eyes.

"No, don't worry, I didn't think about anything."

"This is just a chance encounter, nothing happened between us." Wang Hu said with a smile, "I will leave Kruger today and go to Tila to take a chance. So, beautiful lady, we are destined to meet again."

"You want to leave?"

"Of course. Aren't you worried about getting into trouble if I stay?"

"I...wait! Close the door first, come back and hand me your underwear."

After a while, the female person in charge, who had tidied herself up a little, sat in front of Wang Hu, held her forehead and said as if she had a headache.

"I may be making the worst decision in my life... Tell me about your offer."
