"Dashu, I'm back!" Ruan Xi shouted from a distance. Then, he heard a "swoosh" sound breaking through the air, and a green shadow shot over like lightning, instantly wrapped around Ruan Xi's waist, and threw him into the air without stopping for a moment.

"Hahahaha... Dashu, I missed you!"

"Xiaoxi, I miss you too!"

One person and one tree, one shouting loudly, the other communicating in the mind, without any obstacles, having a great time, until Ruan Xi called for a stop, the tree reluctantly let him down from mid-air, but still reluctant to let him land, the branches turned into a chair with backrest, so that Ruan Xi could sit on it comfortably to rest, and other branches also brought wild fruits, the service was so thoughtful.

"You are so nice, big tree." As expected, he felt more comfortable staying in the mountains and forests!

Ruan Xi and the Tree of Life were still having fun, rubbing against each other affectionately, chatting in their heads as they were about to walk back, and they actually ignored He Ziqian, a big man.

He Ziqian: "..." This feeling is really quite wonderful.

"Ruan Xi, my mecha needs to be repaired so that it can survive space travel. It's still missing some key parts and materials, and I need your help." He Ziqian knew that in this world, he was an outsider, even an "invader". If he went out to look for it himself, he would most likely be suspected and excluded, and even encounter unexpected dangers. The best way was to cooperate with Ruan Xi and ask him to help find the parts and materials needed to repair the mecha.

However, in the short time they spent together, He Ziqian clearly realized that Ruan Xi was absolutely useless with mechanics. He couldn't even use medical equipment well, so how could he understand mechas?

The answer is obvious, however, he has to try, otherwise, he doesn't know when his mecha can be repaired, and he still has a mission to complete!

"I really don't understand mechas. I'm not being modest, I really don't understand anything at all!" Ruan Xi was afraid that He Ziqian would misunderstand her, so he wanted to break his words down into pieces, his eyes looking particularly sincere.

It’s also special...it needs to be dealt with!

He Ziqian always felt that there was mockery in the eyes of this kid Ruan Xi when he looked at him. Was it his illusion?

He Ziqian felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't dwell on it. After a few seconds of silence, he continued, "I don't need you to understand. I have pictures of the accessories and materials I need. Just buy them for me according to the pictures."

Look, this sounds so simple and clear, as if it can be done with just a wave of the hand.

However, to Ruan Xi, it still seemed a bit like a fantasy.

"Where can I buy it for you? I've already told you that merchant ships trading with Funong Star arrive at fixed times and locations. Even if I successfully connect with them, it will take at least a month for them to come back. Can you wait?"

Even if He Ziqian could wait, Ruan Xi didn't have the time! He was busy growing medicinal herbs!

"Businessmen are profit-driven. I believe that as long as there is money to be made, they will be willing to make an extra trip." He Ziqian's voice was always steady and his attitude was very calm, but Ruan Xi wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it.

"Brother, aren't you asking too much? I have never had any contact with those merchant ships." Ruan Xi implied that he was not sure whether he could make the deal and he just wanted Dashu to throw this annoying guy out.

Well, it’s too troublesome to throw that bunch of mechas far away.

"I'll teach you." He Ziqian still had no intention of giving up. These three words made Ruan Xi freeze on the spot. She almost swallowed the fruit core between her teeth, but she still choked. She coughed violently and it took her a long time to recover.

He really doesn't want to learn this. He just wants to live peacefully in the mountains and grow some medicinal herbs. Why is it so difficult?

Seeing the resistance and speechlessness in Ruan Xi's expression, He Ziqian was not anxious at all. Instead, he felt more relaxed than ever before, which made him feel dazed for a moment. He couldn't remember when he had felt so relaxed in his 23 years of life.

Looking back, he realized that he had never felt so relaxed since he could remember. His shoulders seemed to be carrying a heavy burden at all times, making his body tense every minute and every second, unable to relax.

He Ziqian was silent for a long time, so long that Ruan Xi couldn't help but become curious. She raised her hand and waved it in front of him, "Hey, He Ziqian, are you crazy?"

He Ziqian finally came to his senses after hearing this, feeling a bit amused and helpless. "If you continue to talk like this when you go out in the future, it will be easy to offend people."

"Do you think I will leave here?" Ruan Xi was a little surprised by He Ziqian's words. He had never told anyone that he was going out to study.

"You want to go out and study medicine, right?" He Ziqian continued to speak his speculation, looking at Ruan Xi with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through his skin and flesh and see into his heart.

Unfortunately, Ruan Xi hid his inner thoughts too well and could not be easily seen through, so He Ziqian naturally returned empty-handed.

"You don't need to worry about this. You should continue to repair your mecha. I don't think I can communicate with you." As for what is so special about He Ziqian that makes the barrier of this forest recognize him, Ruan Xi is not without curiosity, but at this moment, he has something more he wants to do.

"Big tree, let's go back." Ruan Xi's words made the heart of the tree of life very happy. It quickly took Ruan Xi away. In the blink of an eye, the human figure and the tree shadow disappeared, leaving He Ziqian standing there.

He Ziqian: "..." That's outrageous! There are only two people in this forest, can't you be a little more friendly to him?

He Ziqian himself didn't realize that he had a rare "human" reaction, and even expected others to be "friendly" to him. If people who knew him knew this, they would be shocked.

There was no other way, He Ziqian had to continue repairing his mecha first, at least repairing all the parts that could be repaired, and then go and talk to Ruan Xi, he would always be able to find a solution.

The tree brought Ruan Xi back to its original form, and immediately extended countless leaves, carrying Ruan Xi up to its crown. Then, he descended along the crown to the top of the trunk. Before Ruan Xi could ask anything, he saw a familiar stone...

"Could this be the energy core of that mutant vine?" The energy core had turned into a clear brown color, and when light shone through it, it was extremely beautiful, like the most precious gem.

"Yes, you can absorb this directly and use it for cultivation." The big tree stretched out a branch, wrapped the brown energy core, and sent it to Ruan Xi. The voice that sounded in Ruan Xi's mind was a bit flattering and excited.

“Eat quickly!”

Ruan Xi: "..." Embarrassing, weren't you supposed to practice? Why did the style suddenly change?

Eat quickly or something, it doesn't sound fancy at all!
