Effect……"

"...In other words, we have now completely lost contact with the headquarters and the cruising warships. If this continues, there will be pirate unrest nearby, or the headquarters will issue an emergency order..."

Captain Libar did not say the last sentence, but at this moment, everyone in the communications room, including Colonel Malvern, realized the seriousness of the problem.

Just when Colonel Malvern was staring at these phone bugs with his eyebrows knitted together, and the atmosphere in the entire communication room was as depressing as the deep sea that can suffocate people to death, there were more than a hundred phone bugs on the table.

On the top, the largest pink video phone bug suddenly made a sound of "Blue".

Everyone in the communications room immediately turned their attention to the phone bug.

"That phone bug just made a noise! ​​Didn't it?!"

Colonel Malvern asked excitedly.

"Okay, it seems so!"

"It made a sound! I heard it!"

"I heard it too!"

…

Faced with the overwhelming responses from his subordinates, Colonel Malvern chose a more direct and accurate verification method - he walked straight to the big phone bug and raised it with both hands.

"You just made a sound, right?"

"..."

Colonel Malvern's response was deathly silence - the phone bugs were silent, and so were his subordinates.

"Ahem..."

Colonel Malvern himself realized that his move was a bit stupid. He quickly cleared his throat and prepared to make up a reason to explain to his subordinates. However, at this moment——

"Blue."

"Blue."

"Brumuru."

…

Including the large phone bug in Colonel Malvern's hand, more than a hundred phone bugs in the room made sounds one after another and all opened their eyes.

"Colonel! The phone bugs are back!"

"They all seem to be normal!"

…

"Ah, I...fuck?!"

Colonel Malvern couldn't help but look happy. Just when he was about to say something, the phone bug in his hand suddenly opened its mouth and spit out an envelope with a "pop" sound.

After being stunned for a moment, Colonel Malvern first placed the phone bug on the table, then turned around with a gloomy face, looked at his subordinates, and roared:

"Who the fuck did you feed the phone bug with letters?! It's so hungry!!"

"No, no! Colonel!"

"We didn't feed the phone bugs, Colonel!"

"We don't! Colonel!"

…

"You didn't feed me, so what's going on?!"

Colonel Malvern pointed at the letter on the ground angrily.

These civilian sailors looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Captain Libar, who had answered the question before, spoke:

"Colonel, although I don't know what happened to this letter, the reason why these phone bugs stopped working so abnormally is definitely not because of bad food. Because there is only one letter here, but there are so many phone bugs that stopped working.

It’s impossible for them to all eat the letter and have their stomachs broken at the same time..."

"Then what's going on with this letter?"

Colonel Malvern frowned, knelt down and picked up the letter.

The envelope of this letter is made of ordinary paper. It is very new. Although there is no writing on it, it has an unknown transparent mucus.

Colonel Malvern simply ignored the mucus and opened it.

Inside the opened envelope was a square piece of white paper filled with words, and directly above it was a line of eye-catching headlines in bold red letters:

"You and I join hands together! Entering a new era of communication!"

"What the hell..."

Colonel Malvern murmured and continued reading in confusion.

"Dear customer, hello!"

"First of all, today is October 1, 1499 in the Haiyuan calendar. On this special day that is ordinary but of extraordinary significance to you and me, we would like to express our most sincere greetings and thanks to you on behalf of our phone bug family!"

"Thank you for choosing our phone bug group as a communication tool, instead of the immature guys like the sound-transmitting conch and the sound-transmitting shell that have disappeared in the long river of history - by the way, there is a reason for their disappearance.

, because their service is really bad!”

"In the past hundreds of years, in order to thank you for your trust, we, the phone bug family, have been working diligently, just to allow you to have a better communication experience. It is no exaggeration to say that our family will

Your communication is our duty and mission!”

"The more we serve, the more honored we are, the more honored we are, and the more aware we are! We have not stood still because of the results we have achieved in the past, but have constantly reflected on our shortcomings and what else we can do for you."

"Pocket phone bugs cannot communicate across islands and can only conduct short-distance paging communications; large phone bugs are too rare to meet people's growing needs; the communication quality of ordinary phone bugs is good and bad, and the communication is intermittent once the distance is too far...

…We see these problems in our eyes and feel pain in our hearts!”

"Fortunately, all the above is a thing of the past! All your past dissatisfaction with us will be solved!"

"In the past few decades, our clan has held no less than 10,000 large and small experience and technology exchange meetings. Through mutual exchanges, learning and discussions, we finally came up with a mature plan. And starting from today

, we will continue to upgrade and update our fellow phone bugs around the world!"

"Please forgive us for not informing you of this upgrade in advance due to time constraints. We apologize for the trouble and inconvenience caused to you! But we believe that after seeing the next new communication service, you will

You will be so happy that you will forget these minor unpleasantnesses!"

"Of course, you will get something only if you pay, and the world is fair. In the process of our tribe's difficult evolution in order to improve the communication function, we have put in too much effort. Therefore, in the following days, we have to improve communication

There is a small fee for such functions. However, we assure you that this fee is extremely low, anyone can afford it, and it will be 100% used to provide your communication services and improve your communication experience!"

…

(Is there a charge for phone bugs?)

Seeing this, Colonel Malvern couldn't help but have a very strange feeling. It was like one day the world's oceans suddenly became aware and issued a notice to all mankind, saying that in the future, sailing on the sea would need to pay tolls...

…

(Will the world government agree to the charging behavior of phone bugs? The world government is the largest and most important organization that uses phone bugs in the world...)

Colonel Malvern, who was thinking this way, continued to look down - he didn't know that Porusalino would also control the phone bug to send the same instructions to the Five Old Stars, but changed the purpose of the charges to "these

50% of the fee will be handed over to the World Government to ensure the credibility of our clan, and the remaining 50% will be used for user communication services." He also expressed his attitude of not causing trouble.

Porusalino understands: no matter how strong and developed a private enterprise is, it is still a private enterprise. Only by bringing in the world government and turning it into a "national enterprise" can it continue to do so, and with the help of the latter's power, it can become bigger and stronger.

!

"The first is the exclusive number! Starting today, all telephone bug larvae around the world will generate a unique special number on their surface since they are born. We call it a telephone number - according to the 900th internal report of our clan

The 81st Plenary Meeting discussed and decided that only phone bugs with phone numbers can use communication services in the future!"

"What does the philosopher say - only standardized service is good service!"

"Of course, there is no need to worry about adult phone bugs that have been put into use. Users can apply for their own exclusive phone number (the number is random). The specific application method is to hold down the '*' key on the dial and say 'Apply for my phone number'

'This sentence: For some special number phone numbers, such as consecutive numbers and repeated numbers, we will sell them. People who want to get them can hold down the '#' key on the dial and say 'Buy a good number'

'This sentence."

"From now on, communication between phone bugs will be carried out by dialing phone numbers, and the call costs will be borne by the caller - not affected by any factors such as distance, weather, space, etc., you can call whenever you want, talk whenever you want! Even if it is

With the tiniest phone bug, as long as you know the phone number, you can call from the East China Sea to the West China Sea!"

"Each phone number will be billed based on the communication service selected by the user at the end of each month, and all fees will be charged on the day the bill is issued. The following are the specific contents of each service package available for you to choose from

and price list.”

"Additional statement: If no service package is selected, the phone can only make basic intra-island calls and is charged at 100 beli per minute."

"1888 Bailey's Smart Package - Users who purchase this package can get 30 minutes of free calls and 30 free Fetion messages from us every month! Economical and affordable, the best choice!"

"2888 Bailey's Enjoyable Package - Users who purchase this package can get 100 minutes of free calls and 100 free Fetion messages from us every month! Enjoy calls all over the world!"

"3888 Bailey's exclusive package - users who purchase this package can get 500 free minutes of calls and 500 free Fetion messages every month! Not all packages are called exclusive!"

"8888 Bailey's unlimited package - users who purchase this package can get unlimited free calls every month and unlimited Fetion from us! Unlimited packages, unlimited possibilities!"

"Note 1: The new contact method developed by Fetion for our clan, simply put, allows text transmission between two phone bugs (the number of words per transmission is limited to 50 characters)."
