Chapter 414

When Jiang Simiao sent a lot of messages in the group, Ying Chenlin and You Su were leaving the hotel where they were staying and heading to an abandoned airport on the outskirts of the planet NVT1.

During the tour, he received a call from Jiang Simiao and then a call from Shen Xingtang. When he came back after the calls, Ying Chenlin was yawning and proofreading the design draft with his fingertips. The proofreading of this draft had lasted for two days.

The manuscript was for an auxiliary weapon that was bought at a high price by PJT base at a seminar. PJT base had sent the requirements long ago, and Ying Chenlin had already prepared a draft, but his schedule was squeezed together in the past few days, and he had been putting it off until now to continue the design.

Fortunately, the PJT captain Norbert who was in contact with him was very efficient. He would reply within a few minutes after each message was sent, which saved a lot of time in communication. However, this person sent messages very quickly and raised a lot of questions every time, so Ying Chenlin could only answer them one by one.

You Su initially thought that designing a manuscript could be completed in two days at most based on Chen Lin's ability.

As a result, Ying Chenlin has been working on the design in his free time these past two days, and it has not been completely completed yet. During the time the two of them were traveling, Ying Chenlin spent half of the time on work. As the draft continued to be enriched, the chat records also increased further.

Theo followed the owner of the machine to the back of Ying Chenlin several times and saw the superimposed chat records. He discovered that this customer named Norbert always sent three messages to Ying Chenlin each time. Each of the three messages must contain a topic, either asking about maintenance matters, parameters, or design, and mixed with some daily topics, turning the originally barren manuscript communication into a long chat.

The level of this chatting is really amazing, several times better than Yousu.

Theo was unwilling to admit defeat, and silently downloaded various chat materials and universal reply templates into You Su's computer.

Yuan looked at Theo and found that among the templates Theo downloaded, there was a [Universal Reply Template (Fan Training Edition)]. There were several sentences that were very similar to the ones Norbert sent to Ying Chenlin, except that it had been polished several more times.

"He talks so much?" You Su frowned.

Ying Chenlin said: "You Su, he gave the money."

The client’s father gave too much money. Norbert even wanted to add more money to get more weapons, but Ying Chenlin refused.

Theo: "What's so great about giving money? We have money too!"

You Su didn't say anything, nor did he say anything else.

Just one night later, Ying Chenlin woke up and found that there was a small storage device the size of a fingernail on his optical computer key, which contained various kinds of supernatural crystals, including A-level, B-level and even S-level.

"Mr. You put it on when you were sleeping." Yuan said, "Theo even told me that it was Mr. You's little treasury."

After Ying Chenlin knew about this, he replaced his own memory. Apart from his parents' spiritual power rings, the key only had You Su's memory. He had no place to put the replaced memory, so he secretly put it on You Su's key while he was sleeping.

But when he woke up, You Su saw the storage device and made a fuss with him for a long time. He even only replied half of Jiang Simiao's message.

When the hovercraft arrived at the abandoned airport, it was deserted.

Ying Chenlin was a little more sober when he got off the car, and You Su took him to the parking platform on the side of the abandoned airport.

"Then are we considered to be illegally entering the country?" Ying Chenlin asked in a low voice.

You Su chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, the place where I brought you will not let you get banned."

The border of the third star field was deserted and sparsely populated. When the spacecraft that was not in the number library approached the shore, Ying Chenlin gathered the strong wind caused by the spacecraft's air waves. The virtual screen of the optical computer produced slight fluctuations because of the magnetic field brought by the spacecraft. He closed the chat box with PJT Norbert, and when he looked up, he saw a man in combat uniform standing on the spacecraft's berth.

"You Su, long time no see." The captain of the spaceship looked very young, about thirty years old, and was very familiar with You Su. "I was wondering when I saw your order. Didn't you turn over a new leaf and play in mecha competitions? How do you still have time to come to a place like the border?"

His eyes only glanced at You Su for a moment, and soon fell on Ying Chenlin next to him, "It's rare, you brought a friend with you?"

You Su looked up at him and asked, "Can we enter the border?"

The captain laughed loudly upon hearing this: "How can I not get in? You have already paid, come up."

When they first talked about coming to the border of the third star field, Ying Chenlin thought that You Su would use Luo Xu's channel to open a back door, but You Su just made a communication phone call to Luo Xu, and then contacted the black ship heading to the border.

The captain was very familiar with Yousu. He came to the berth to pick people up in person and gave a few words to his subordinates.

You Su told him to be casual and not to bother, so he waved his hand to let the others leave. When he saw Ying Chenlin, he was enthusiastic: "Have fun."

You Suo put the camouflage hat he bought on the road on Ying Chenlin, "Wear it, so you don't look young."

"Do I look small?" Ying Chenlin suddenly asked.

You Su paused and said, "There are many people on the boat, and you look easy to bully."

The two have been together for a long time. Some time ago, when Ying Chenlin was helping You Su turn off the mute, he noticed the note about him in the other party's light brain. The four words "rebellious child" were right in the middle of the communication. You Su changed it on the same day, but Ying Chenlin still remembered it.

Due to his natural bone structure and skeleton, his growth has an upper limit. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, his face was indeed immature, but with the recovery of his physical condition and continuous exercise in the past few years, his face has lost its childishness. In another two years, he will continue to grow. Although he is young, he is not a child.

In terms of mental age, he is older than You Su, and he is always treated like a child, which makes him feel a little awkward.

Some crew members on the spaceship seemed to be very familiar with You Su. When they walked in, those crew members would greet You Su.

Ying Chenlin looked at it curiously, his eyes kept examining the details on the black ship, "They all seem to know you."

"When I was a mercenary in my early years, I went everywhere, but the identity of a mercenary was limited. Many high-level contaminated areas were only open to the Mecha Alliance." You Su led Ying Chenlin through the mixed crowd and found their room on the spaceship. "His spaceship provides some special channels that can bypass official routes. Following his spaceship, you can enter some high-risk contaminated areas. I stayed on his ship for a while a few years ago."

This didn't seem to be the state that would come after being there for a while. Ying Chenlin's gaze paused and stopped at You Su. The black ship was not officially recognized by the Star Alliance. Many crew members or passengers on the ship were either wearing combat uniforms or clothes that were convenient for movement. Although it was not stated explicitly, Ying Chenlin knew that these were mercenaries with real skills or desperate criminals who killed and robbed people.

While You Su was talking to others, many passengers on the boat looked towards where Ying Chenlin and the other person were.

Some talked with You Su, while others looked at him from a distance.

A few people who happened to pass by them wanted to come over to say hello to Ying Chenlin. Just as they took two steps closer, You Su's hand reached out, and his palm clearly separated Ying Chenlin from the others.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man looked up and met You Su's eyes. He whistled, smiled, and left quickly.

"Don't trust the people on this ship." You Su led Ying Chenlin towards him, took the mecha key that was exposed outside Ying Chenlin's collar and put it into his collar. "They are all shrewd people. They approach you just to get some benefits from you."

"I thought he knew you and wanted to find you." Ying Chenlin said.

You Su said nonchalantly, "I was cheated before when I first got on board."

Upon hearing this, Ying Chenlin looked at You Su in surprise.

You Su smiled and said, "At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I easily trusted others."

Ying Chenlin asked in a low voice: "What were you cheated of?"

“The two memory sticks were gone.” You Su simply said, “I earned them back later.”

Ying Chenlin didn't say anything else, but looked at the black ship more carefully.

Many of You Su's past experiences were briefly mentioned by him in a light-hearted manner. It was a long time after Ying Chenlin met him that he learned about You Su's experiences from Shen Xingtang or from his own experiences. For later generations, the experiences were just a brief description. But once you dig into certain details, it seems that shaping a person's experience is something that is indispensable and difficult to dig deep into.

How old was You Sucai when he was a teenager?

When Ying Chenlin was a teenager, he traveled alone through the contaminated area within the Star Alliance.

Ying Chenlin couldn't afford to repair Yuan at that time. In the beginning, most of those who ventured into the contaminated area rented mechas. Later, after they gradually became familiar with the contaminated area, they drove Yuan to explore. If you are young, you will be bullied. The shops that rent mechas will raise the prices, and the merchants who resell materials will charge a small extra profit. Sometimes, after entering a contaminated area for a day, the money you earn when you come out is only enough to pay for the rent of the mecha.

However, that kind of polluted area is different from the high-risk polluted area that Yousu experienced. The risks of the high-risk polluted area were like licking blood from the tip of a knife for Yousu at that time.

You Su took Ying Chenlin to the reserved room. The conditions on the black ship were not as good as those on a normal flight. He was worried that Ying Chenlin would not be used to it, but he found that this man's eyes had been fixed on the surroundings since he came in.

"What are you thinking about?" You Su saw Ying Chenlin was distracted.

Ying Chenlin looked serious and asked in a serious tone, "Is there anyone on this ship who has cheated you?"

You Su almost laughed when he heard this, "Are you trying to pick a fight with me? Don't worry, Commander. Do I look like someone who would suffer a loss?"

He adjusted the temperature in the room to the temperature that Ying Chenlin usually stayed at. "Later, I met the man who cheated me in a contaminated area. I beat him up and got back the two storage devices with interest."

Ying Chenlin thought to himself, it seemed so, You Su was not someone who would suffer a loss.

"You Su, why did you want to become a mercenary in the beginning?"

"Why do you want to ask this question?" You Su seldom heard anyone ask him this question. His father Lin Yi might have asked it, but You Su didn't want to answer. Later, no one asked it anymore, as if it was normal for him to become a mercenary.

Ying Chenlin said: "I want to know."

“I didn’t know what to do at the time.”

The passage of the black ship was discovered from the things left behind by You Yuying. After You Yuying passed away, You Su left the border army not long after and found many things left by his mother among the things left by her.

You Yuying was a frontier soldier in his early years. After retiring, he became a wandering mercenary and traveled around the Star Alliance. In his youth, You Su admired his parents the most. His becoming a frontier soldier or a mercenary was more or less influenced by his parents.

You Su was quite confused at the time. He left the Border Army in a huff and wandered aimlessly in the vast Star Alliance. He tried the Mecha Alliance, but finally became a mercenary. If he had not been injured and his mecha had not been damaged a few years ago, and if it had not been for Shen Xingtang's call, he would probably still be somewhere in the Star Alliance, wandering around without a fixed place to live.

Then he wouldn’t know KID’s mecha technician, nor would he know Ying Chenlin. "I didn't know what to do, so I tried everything." You Su took off Ying Chenlin's hat and said casually, "The rest is the same as what you know. I was injured by Kronos at the border and was repairing the mecha. I happened to meet Shen Xingtang. I don't know many repairmen, and even fewer who want to find someone to repair S-class mechas at the border."

Theo had a lot to say at this time. When the two owners were talking, he did not forget to introduce to Yuan: "This is how our Yousu's small treasury came from. We have been to many polluted areas before, and the things inside are very valuable."

"Then Yousu took back all those things that were stolen from us before!" Theo said proudly, "We took back a lot! A lot of supernatural crystals!"

Yuan listened silently, and said, "So you have been cheated many times before?"

Theo was stuck, and said stumblingly: "Not many times!"

The two mechas were chatting secretly, and Ying Chenlin asked You Su one by one about what happened in the past.

There is not much to say about the mercenary period. You Su was alone with a mecha and had no social interaction. The most he did was to rush around in the contaminated area. It seemed that the only thing he could do was to kill the pollutants.

You Su had a very low desire for material things. In the early days, he drove a mecha to kill pollutants purely to vent his youthful vigor. Apart from the regular maintenance of the mecha and the auction of S-level wind-type energy crystals, the rest of the money from the killed pollutants was accumulated.

At that time, the demand for weapons for Yousui was actually not high. Entering the polluted area was not like playing a game. You needed to constantly change weapons according to the opponent and lineup to maintain tactics and winning rate. Killing pollutants at the border was actually just a matter of convenience and habit. Prolonged fighting was more important than strategic games.

I think the number of times I went to auctions increased after I joined KID.

You Su felt that there was nothing much to say, but Ying Chenlin asked more questions.

He spoke briefly, and in a blink of an eye he saw Ying Chenlin already sitting by the window in the room, with the scenery of the universe outside the viewing window behind him.

Ying Chenlin has had this habit for a long time. When You Su first met Ying Chenlin, he didn't notice it, but it seemed that starting from Tianyu Star and later to Koria, Ying Chenlin would always pay special attention to the scenery outside every time he sailed.

There are many people who pay attention to scenery, but the more you pay attention to Ying Chenlin, the more you will find that this person's eyes when looking at the scenery are different from those of other people. Most people may only see the scenery, but Ying Chenlin's eyes are full of yearning and longing, which gives people a different feeling, as if he cherishes everything he sees and wants to urgently take in all the scenery.

The emotions expressed in clear eyes are often very pure, as if if he doesn't look carefully, he will never see them again.

Later, every time You Su went out, he would give him a seat by the window where he could enjoy the scenery. Gradually, the urgency in his eyes seemed to disappear, and his eyes were filled with the scenery, and he gradually became satisfied.

"Why don't you continue?" Ying Chenlin saw You Su stop.

You Su said: "Nothing, I was just thinking about where you want to go in the future."

Where do you want to go…? Ying Chenlin was slightly stunned, not knowing why You Su suddenly said that.

At this time, You Su interrupted his thinking in time and handed the light brain to Ying Chenlin.

"If you can't figure it out, think about it later." You Su said, "How about taking a look at this first?"

Displayed on the optical computer was a list of pollutants, some of which had been seen in the border army database on the Kronos front, and many more that Ying Chenlin had never seen before. However, they were all listed very clearly, as if they had been specially sorted out.

"The list of pollutants." You Suo said lightly, "I've already taken you through the back door, so I have to get back what I paid for, right?"
