Chapter 250 Yaoguang City
"Letter of recommendation." Giroud said hoarsely and held out his webbed hand.
Nan Qiao handed it over calmly. Ji Lu glanced at it and stepped aside to let her into the house.
The room was dark and depressing, with strange organ specimens hanging on the walls and some flickering and humming instruments piled up in the corner.
"I want a universal fake identity." Nan Qiao got straight to the point.
Giroud grinned, revealing his jagged fangs. "Yes, I do, but it's not cheap."
Nan Qiao didn't waste any time and took out ten kilograms of apples from the storage ring. In an instant, the sweet fruity fragrance filled the whole house.
Jilu's compound eyes widened instantly, and his tentacles trembled wildly. On the planet Zel, fruits are so scarce that they are almost legendary delicacies.
"Is this enough?" Nan Qiao shook the apple.
Jilu's eyes flickered and he nodded repeatedly, reaching out to grab it, but Nan Qiao dodged it skillfully: "Do your job first."
Giroud had no choice but to give up and turned to an instrument covered with mucus. His slender fingers tapped the keyboard rapidly, and dark green mucus dripped from the tube into the card slot. The machine made a clicking sound, and soon, a universal identity card that looked almost real was "spitted out".
Nan Qiao took it and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he pushed the apple over.
Giroud grabbed one and started chewing it, splashing juice everywhere. He mumbled as he ate, "If you need this kind of deal again, remember to come to me!"
Nan Qiao chuckled, ignored him as he disappeared into the shadow of the black market, and left quietly.
Nan Qiao drove the aircraft to the interstellar port in the south.
The interstellar port is like a giant steel beast, lying across the vast land. The huge dome is made of high-strength transparent plastic steel, reflecting colorful light in the sun. The spaceships inside take off and land like a busy swarm of bees.
The building is inlaid with countless indicator lights, alternating red and blue, indicating the traffic status of each waterway.
Outside the port, there was a huge crowd of people. Interstellar travelers of different skin colors and shapes were hurrying on their way, dragging large and small bags. There were also vendors selling rare items such as energy shields and portable nutritional supplements, walking among them and shouting at the top of their voices.
Outside the interstellar port, there is a row of private spaceships docked, with various shapes, including streamlined speedboats that look like eagles with spread wings, and solid and heavy cargo spaceships that look like giant whales.
Nan Qiao walked straight towards a shuttle-shaped spaceship that looked relatively new. The bow of the ship was a bright silver color that shone brightly in the sun.
As they approached, a Gamma Star with an oval head, a high forehead, a pair of eyes like deep pools, dark blue pupils, and a burly figure with dark skin jumped off the boat.
He grinned, revealing his large white teeth. "Hello, I'm the captain of this ship. Would you like to take a ride? My ship is fast and will take you comfortably to your destination."
Nan Qiao raised an eyebrow: "How much does it cost to go to Anto Star?"
The captain held up five fingers and shook them. "Fifty thousand interstellar coins, no bargain! This is a fair price. My ship consumes little energy and is fast. You won't find this good a deal anywhere else."
Nan Qiao sneered, "Fifty thousand? You're taking me for a fool. I just checked the market price, and it's at most twenty thousand."
The captain's eyes widened, feigning grief. "Twenty thousand? Girl, don't tease me! It takes two interstellar days to get to Anto Star. I'll have to pay for fuel, repairs, and labor along the way. Which one won't cost money? Forty-five thousand, no less!"
Nan Qiao crossed his arms and said slowly, "Twenty-five thousand. Don't complain to me. I'm alone and don't have much luggage. I won't take up much space, and I won't consume much energy on this trip."
The captain scratched his head, his face full of confusion. "Forty thousand! It really can't be any lower. My ship is equipped with top-notch equipment and a super high safety factor. We wouldn't be afraid of interstellar pirates."
Nan Qiao pretended to leave: "Forget it, I'll go ask around. There's bound to be a lot of people willing to leave for 25,000."
The captain got anxious when he saw this. He stepped forward and stopped them: "Hey, don't go! Thirty thousand, thirty thousand is not enough? I'm really losing money to gain publicity."
Nan Qiao walked on without stopping, without even turning his head: "Twenty-eight thousand, not a penny more."
The captain hesitated for a long time, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, twenty-eight thousand is twenty-eight thousand, get on board!"
Nan Qiao raised a barely perceptible smile and boarded the spaceship swiftly.
The cabin was filled with a faint smell of engine oil and leather. She found a seat by the window and sat down. After a while, the spacecraft's engine roared, and it slowly rose into the air, speeding towards the planet Antor in the vast universe.
During the two days on the spacecraft, time passed quietly like water.
Nan Qiao used this small space as a temporary place for practicing. The spaceship was fully equipped with a bed and a hibernation chamber.
Although the kitchen is compact, all kinds of cooking utensils are arranged neatly and orderly. The bathroom is clean and tidy, and the purification system makes a slight hum when it is operating.
She had lived in this world for three months before when she was teaching ancient languages, so she didn't feel unfamiliar using these facilities.
Every day she would sleep when she was tired and eat bread when she was hungry. In the rest of her free time, she would sit cross-legged and start meditating.
In the circulation of spiritual power, the body and mind become increasingly calm, and everything in the outside world seems like a different world.
Before I knew it, two days had passed in a flash.
That day, the captain's gruff voice suddenly rang out from the intercom: "Girl, Anto Star is just ahead, we'll be there soon!"
When Nan Qiao heard the voice, her eyes opened instantly. She walked to the window and looked up. In the vast universe, she saw a magnificent planet slowly emerging in front of the spaceship.
Antor is very beautiful, like a shining gem, surrounded by dreamy nebula clouds. It is worthy of being the planet with the most wealthy people.
The spacecraft, carrying stardust along the way, slowly landed at the interstellar port of Anto.
The engine was turned off, the hatch opened, and a warm breeze blew in my face.
Nan Qiao took a deep breath, stepped out of the cabin, and looked up. The interstellar port was busy, with all kinds of strange-shaped spaceships docked in an orderly manner, and the sound of robotic arms waving and moving cargo was endless.
She lowered her head and fiddled with the payment watch on her wrist. With a brisk prompt tone, 28,000 interstellar coins were successfully transferred into the captain's account. The captain grinned, waved at her, and went off to solicit the next business.
Nan Qiao put on his backpack and headed towards the largest city on Anto Star - Yaoguang City.
Along the way, you can see many interstellar travelers with different skin colors and colorful clothes, some traveling in groups and some alone.
The closer we got to the city gate, the denser the crowd became, with voices of conversation and shouting rising and falling.
Finally, they arrived at the towering city gate. Two burly guards in silver-white armor stood on both sides like sculptures, with cold eyes, examining everyone entering the city.
Nan Qiao stepped forward and handed over the fake ID card that he had spent a lot of effort to obtain.
The guard took it and inserted it into the verification instrument beside him. The machine made a slight buzzing sound and a blue light flashed. After a few seconds, a clear "beep" was heard, and the identity verification was passed.
The guard returned the ID card and nodded slightly. Nan Qiao was secretly happy and walked into Yaoguang City with light steps.
