Ten or twenty years ago, people who were used to living in big cities would basically not consider going back to the countryside unless they encountered some unavoidable situation. It wasn't until the last few years that the situation gradually changed. More and more people began to leave the hustle and bustle of the city and choose to settle in the quiet and leisurely countryside.

Why is there such a change?

With the progress of the times, the living conditions in rural areas have been improved, and their convenience is not much worse than that in cities. People living in rural areas can also enjoy sufficiently modern living conditions like the urban population, which is one of them.

Second, it benefits from the development of the Internet. To put it simply, rural areas can also be connected to network signals, allowing people to get in touch with various information from the outside world, and people will no longer feel depressed because of information blockage like ten or twenty years ago.

Which of these two points is more important, which one is more critical...

For older middle-aged or elderly people, perhaps the former is more important. But for young people who are more curious and have a relatively out-of-the-box personality, the latter should be more important and more likely to have a decisive effect.

The same principle can also be applied to aliens.

Already accustomed to the convenience of the "Interstellar Age", can you still accept the information-blocked Earth and live or settle there for a long time? It is not an exaggeration to say that if you gather a hundred aliens together, you may not be able to find one.

In addition, the understanding of aliens by people on earth is still at the imaginary level, let alone accept it, they can't even admit that 'aliens do exist'...

Thinking of having to stay hidden after going to the earth, not being able to go out easily, and living a life like being in prison, those alien friends that Carol Danforth knew all chose to refuse without hesitation. .

Yes, even though Nick Fury offered very good terms of treatment, even though Carol Danvers personally introduced them, they still did not accept the invitation.

One thing to say, from the standpoint of the introducer, this kind of development is quite embarrassing.

Thankfully, Carol Danvers is a cheerful American girl who never gets into a corner. If it was changed to another one who is very face-saving, nine out of ten will make a big red face because of this incident, making himself very embarrassed and unable to get off the stage.

"Sorry, I didn't expect that to happen."

After all, she was still a little embarrassed, and Carol Danvers had a slight blush on her face, with a bit of embarrassment in her expression.

"Hehe, don't feel guilty, I mean...it's normal to have such a result, isn't it?" Smiling and shaking his head, Nick Fury said without hesitation: "If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time." Well, after a long time, I can always meet one or two people who are willing to accept employment. In such a big universe, I can't even run into anyone who is easy to talk to."

"That's right, I will continue to pay attention. If I meet a suitable candidate..."

"Contact me at any time." Before Carol Danvers finished speaking, Nick Fury answered first: "Or when you come back to Earth for vacation, bring them back together for me to meet. If it can be done, then Stay, if it doesn't work, just take it with you when you leave later."

"Well, it depends on the situation, I will arrange it properly."

While chatting, Xingjue walked over with a few of his companions.

A greeting interrupted the conversation between Nick Fury and Carol Danvers. As Star-Lord approached, he said with a smile on his face, "What are you talking about? Did you bother the two of you?"

"No, it's just chatting." With a smile back, Nick Fury glanced at the Miranda parked tens of meters away, and asked Star-Lord with a smile: "Have you all packed up? Is this the plan?" Are you on your way?"

"Well, everything about the supplies has been taken care of." He nodded at Nick Fury first, then turned his gaze to Carol Danvers, Star-Lord offered to extend his right hand: "Carol, thank you. If it weren't for you as a bridge, the repair work on the Miranda would not have ended so quickly."

"You're welcome." After shaking hands with Xingjue, Carol Danvers laughed: "I just introduced it. How well you do your work depends on how much you spend. Hehe, listen to Delza Say, when you came to the door that day, did you think his asking price was a bit high?"

"Uh..." Smiling slightly awkwardly, Xingjue subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head: "Hey, it's true. But that's already a thing of the past. At this moment, I've already Just change your mind."

"Really?" Carol Danforth raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "From what you mean, Delza should have done a pretty good job."

"It's better than I imagined." With a thumbs up, Xingjue praised from the heart: "To be honest, I really didn't expect him to be able to repair the Miranda like it is now. When I met Among the maintenance engineers who have ever lived, he can definitely be regarded as the one with the best craftsmanship."

"As long as you are satisfied." Hearing what Xingjue said, Carol Danvers, who was the introducer, was also proud and unconsciously showed a smile with a sense of accomplishment.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied, I can't be more satisfied." Xingjue also laughed: "I have already decided that if there is any problem in the future, if it happens to be not too far from here, I will definitely come to him to place an order .Although the price is more expensive than other places, his workmanship is really good. If you calculate the cost performance, it is more cost-effective to repair it here."

"Now that the spaceship has been repaired..." Nick Fury interjected and asked Star-Lord: "What do you think? Come with me, or..."

"With you? Where are you going? Back to Earth?"

"Well, it's been a while since I came out, and it's almost time to go back." Nick Fury replied, while raising his finger and pointing to the Aegis docked on the pier: "If you go together, you can take... Miranda Is that the name? There are several hangars on my ship, one of which is still empty. Given its capacity, it should be enough to hold your Miranda."

"Well..." After thinking for a while, Xingjue didn't give a direct answer, but asked again: "Are you going back directly? I mean, there is nothing else on the way back, and you won't stop halfway? How much time will it take from departure to final arrival?"

"One stop. As for the time-consuming... If there are no accidents and cruise at a normal speed, it will take about a week."

If you choose to drive Miranda to the earth, it will only take about four days at most. In contrast, the speed of Aegis is much slower.

If you simply choose based on the length of time spent, of course it is more convenient to choose to drive the Miranda first.

However, after considering several other factors, such as saving fuel, Star-Lord still chose to travel with Nick Fury.

"Let's go together, it's not too slow anyway." Looking at the Aegis in the distance, Xingjue said with a smile: "Your boat is bigger, so it should be more comfortable. By the way, after getting on the boat, Will you restrict us from moving around? If we have to stay in a certain room and cannot go out for activities, then I might as well drive the Miranda and go on the road by myself."

"As long as you don't go to those sensitive areas, such as warehouses, engine rooms, etc." Nick Fury shook his head, and said with a very easy-going expression: "I don't mind ordinary daily activities, and I won't specifically raise them. Requests to impose certain restrictions on you."

"That's good." Hearing this, Xingjue pretended to relax, and patted his chest exaggeratedly: "I thought there would be a lot of restrictions, after all, you are a secret agency. Before I leave Before the earth, that is, when I was only five or six years old, I once watched a movie with a similar plot. Even after so many years, I still remember very clearly that there are many people in that secret base The rules need to be followed, anyone who violates the rules will either be locked up or directly shot..."

"You also said it was a movie." I didn't mention what I thought in my heart, anyway, Nick Fury smiled quite naturally: "It's still the same sentence just now, as long as you cooperate, don't break into those forbidden places." Entering the area, I will definitely not say a word. After all... From Locke's point of view, we can also be regarded as friends. When dealing with friends, I am quite generous, not the kind of narrow-minded person who likes to care about every detail. "

"That's right, we're all friends~lightnovelpub.net~haha." Stretching out his right hand, Xingjue laughed happily: "Then I'll count on you for this journey, buddy."

"Happy to help, Bro." After shaking hands with Star-Lord, Nick Fury also smiled: "I'll tell you another piece of good news. On my ship, there are various drinks and snacks from the earth. If you If you want to relax, there are many entertainment items for you to pass the time, such as watching a movie in the lounge, or you can go to the entertainment room to play billiards."

"Wow, this is amazing~!" Stars appeared in his eyes, and Xing-lord's interest was already aroused.

"What if I said that there are many people on the boat who can play with you?" Nick Fury continued: "I'm not bragging, all the guys on my boat are talents, no matter what you want to play , can find suitable playmates. Well, I’m talking about those that can be found on Earth. If you have to talk about projects like ‘spaceships’, then you can’t blame me for having no one, no Have fun with you."

"Look at what you said, am I such a ignorant person~."
