Chapter 257: First Confrontation with the Mastermind
Meng Ke looked down upon the fruit trees on the planet, and she also wanted to upgrade the planet, so she turned around and asked Wutong, who had been following behind her silently, "Does the Alliance want to buy fruit tree seedlings? I want to sell these seedlings."
"why?"
In the eyes of people like Wutong, the fruit trees are lush and leafy, with high yields and a mutation rate close to zero. They are simply top-notch stars. So, they sell the fruit seedlings to confirm that they are disease-free?
Meng Ke looked at the endless orchard with disdain: "The fruits are all crooked and broken, so ugly!"
The main reason is that the quality of the fruits is low and she doesn’t like them.
Wutong asked uncertainly, "Do you want to sell the planet, or just the fruit trees?"
"Of course we're selling fruit trees, not planets!"
"The Alliance can buy the entire planet, which would maximize your profits. After all, if you transplant the plants, the survival rate will be a problem, and the losses will be huge."
"But I plan to develop this planet for my cubs. I don't want to sell it."
"What about changing planets?"
"What do you mean?"
"The alliance has quite a few vacant A-level planting stars. If you're willing, you can choose one as an exchange."
Meng Ke raised her eyes to look at him: "You want to trick me?"
"No! We can compensate you for the difference, or even raise the price based on that. It's a win-win situation."
"Forget it! I'm not selling it. I'll leave this planet as it is for now. I'll find another planet to develop. Once all the planets are developed, I'll come back and deal with this one."
"Yeah! That's good!"
Wutong can negotiate with Mengke on behalf of the alliance, or he can put himself in Mengke's shoes and consider things. He switches roles smoothly without any sense of incongruity. Mengke feels that it is a waste of talent to have such a talent following him all day long.
Since this A-level planting star does not need to be developed for the time being, we must select the next development star as soon as possible.
Meng Ke remembered that Qingyou seemed to have prepared two planting stars, so she opened the information to check.
One is an A-level planting star, the other is a B-level planting star. In order to make it easier to call them, Meng Ke plans to change the planet numbers into names.
What names would be good? Meng Ke asked Wutong, who looked very cultured, "I want to name these three planets. What do you think?"
Wutong offered his opinion: "Planet owners usually name their planets after their own names or code names. For example, Master Ouyang's planting planet is named after the character Xun, so they are called Xun Star No. 1, Xun Star No. 2, and so on."
"Are you talking about the dual-system master Ouyang Xun?"
"Ah."
"Then I'll name it Kexing No. 1?"
Wutong's eyebrows twitched: "Perhaps you can consider the name Dream Star No. 1."
"But I have nothing to do with the Star Dreamers. If I give it this name, people who don't know would think it's Meng Ke's planet."
Wutong doesn't say anything, so what can I think about the dream?
Meng Ke frowned and looked around, trying to find some inspiration. Finally, he came up with an idea and called it "Flower Planting Star No. 1". How about it?
"Growing flowers is the mastermind's name, it may not be approved."
Wutong heard from the ancestor that the main brain appears aloof in front of ordinary people, but is actually very stingy.
However, Wutong didn't dare to say this.
Meng Ke has already opened the system platform and is ready to give it a try: "If it doesn't agree, I'll ask it to help me get it."
Sure enough, the name of Flower Planting No. 1 was rejected by the system.
Meng Ke was shameless and submitted it again, this time with a note: If you are not satisfied, please help me get another one!
I thought I could control the main brain, but it turned out to be very bad-tempered, so I randomly named it Fruit Star No. 1 and reminded me that the name of the planet can only be changed once a year.
Meng Ke gritted her teeth: "I just asked you to help me think of a name, I didn't ask you to confirm it directly!"
Fruit Star No. 1, it sounds like it was named by an uneducated person.
Meng Ke didn't expect that she just complained to the light brain, but there was a reaction on the light brain's warm screen, and a sentence was displayed: The people of Gulan Star think that it is easier to support a star with a cheap name, so the remaining two stars are called Goudan Star No. 1 and Goudan Star No. 2?
Meng didn't buy it: "If you dare to use this name, I will blow it up."
The mastermind listed a series of consequences and crimes of bombing the planet, but Meng Ke sneered: "It's my own planet. I have money. I can bomb it if I want. What can you do?!"
The main brain displayed a sentence: If you don’t bomb, you are a dog.
Then the two planets were actually confirmed to be Goudan No. 1 and Goudan No. 2, which made Meng Ke very angry.
Okay! Let's play a trick on her, right?
Who is afraid of whom? !
Meng Ke made a video call to the Planetary Administration and directly complained that the main brain was not a human being.
It seemed that this was not the first time that the Planetary Administration had received such a complaint, and they readily gave Meng Ke another chance to change her name.
Meng Ke laughed so hard that his teeth were not visible. He simply changed the name of the planet to: Planet No. 1, where flowers are not grown but land is grown.
Abbreviated as Farming Star No. 1.
The Mastermind dismissed it again.
Meng Ke called the Planetary Administration again and asked them why they rejected her application.
As soon as the staff of the Planetary Administration saw the name Meng Ke had chosen, they knew why the mastermind rejected it. They didn't want to offend the mastermind, so they could only tactfully suggest that Meng Ke change her name.
Meng Ke knew that it would be difficult for her to win against the main brain, but there was a saying called spiritual victory. She didn't know what the main brain's level of classical literature was, and whether it could understand her sarcasm, so she gave it a name that was unreasonable in the eyes of interstellar people: Walnut No. 1.
This time, the review was passed. Meng Ke laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. After she finished laughing, she asked the brain popular science: "Have you heard of it? Eating more walnuts can improve your brain."
The optical computer didn't respond, but three seconds later, the screen was full of garbled characters.
I couldn't understand Meng Ke, but I felt that the curse was quite dirty.
Wutong guessed from Meng Ke's words and actions: "Were you arguing with the Mastermind just now?"
Meng Ke refused to admit it: "I am a lady, how could I possibly quarrel?!"
Wutong Silent: Saying that the youngest female lieutenant general in the Alliance is a lady, are you telling an interstellar joke?
Anyway, the names of the three planets have finally been decided. The planet where Meng Ke is located is called Walnut No. 1, the A-level planting planet to be developed is called Walnut No. 2, and the B-level planting planet to be developed is called Walnut No. 3.
"Let's go to Walnut 2 first?"
Walnut No. 2 is a planet with many rivers. Meng Ke thought of Grandpa Rice before the time travel. She wanted to inherit the will of her ancestors and plant rice here to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people of the alliance.
Meng Ke has no one around her now, so she can only ask Wutong to work hard.
"Wutong, can you ask the brothers if they are willing to work part-time? I will pay them separately."
The Royal Guards work in three shifts every day, and actually have plenty of time to do part-time work after get off work. Meng Ke wants to make use of this resource.
But Wutong told her: "One of the clauses in the agreement they signed with the alliance is that they cannot have part-time jobs."
"Ah? Then I pay it as overtime pay?"
"Their salaries are paid by the league, and overtime pay should naturally be paid by the league as well. If you pay this part of the fee, they will lose their jobs."
Meng Ke sighed: "It's really not easy to be a worker."
With a thud, Meng Ke's head hit the table, scaring Wutong so much that he quickly stood up.
Meng Ke was seen paddling on the tabletop like a dog paddle, wailing in pain: "I don't want to work! I don't want to do this endless work, I want to die! I want to die like a salted fish! I want to lie down like a salted fish until I die!..."
Perhaps it was because Meng Ke was screaming too miserably, or perhaps it was because Wu Tong was annoyed by the noise, but he rarely felt any compassion and told Meng Ke a little gossip: "I heard that Adjutant Gao beside Marshal Lei was your teacher. He was recently transferred due to injury..."
"What did you say?!!! The teacher is injured!!! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Meng Ke straightened up immediately, no longer feeling depressed at all, and quickly dialed the video call. When the call didn't go through, he realized that he hadn't switched off the system.
After switching systems, I called again and the call went through quickly: "What's up?"
Adjutant Gao remained aloof, but Meng Ke looked directly over and looked him up and down worriedly: "Teacher, I heard you were injured?"
"No problem! Is that why you're calling me via video?"
Meng Ke thought that he didn't have any major problems, but when he thought about the teacher being transferred internally, he guessed that there must be a lot of problems.
"Teacher, tell me the truth, what's going on?"
"Aren't they developing the planet? Why do they have so much free time?!"
"Teacher, don't change the subject! What exactly happened? If you don't tell me, I'll just ask everyone in the legion one by one."
"threaten me?"
"I dare not! I am only telling the truth."
She really would ask everyone one by one, and Marshal Lei was the first person she wanted to ask.
Adjutant Gao didn't know her yet, but when he saw her deadpan expression, he knew her stubborn temper was flaring up again, so he simply told her directly, "I'm experiencing some physical abnormality, and the cause hasn't been found yet. I need to return to the main planet for treatment."
Meng Ke frowned. Dawn Star was not a backward and remote star. It was home to the alliance's top talents and technologies. Even they couldn't find out the reason, so the main star was probably in trouble too.
