Chapter 4: Confession Space

The two of them went to the depths of the garbage dump together. They searched around but didn't find anything good.

Just when they were feeling a little discouraged, Liu Qingqing suddenly saw a box emitting a bright light under the sunlight.

"Hey, Dad, what's that over there?"

Xi Chen frowned and asked Liu Qingqing to go aside first to prevent the box from containing anything dangerous.

He stepped forward, a stick in his hand.

After gently poking the box a few times, I found that nothing strange popped out.

It's no wonder he's so careful. Once, a scavenger picked up a box. He didn't take any precautions. After he opened it, the bottles inside exploded. The liquid in the bottles all got on the man's body, and finally corroded him bit by bit in front of everyone's horrified eyes.

It was then that they realized that the liquid in the box was a super-corrosive liquid developed by the Alliance Capital Research Institute, which could corrode objects within minutes.

At that time, he and many other scavengers witnessed the entire process of the incident. It can be said that this incident left a huge shadow in his heart.

He walked forward cautiously, used a stick to pry open the lid on the top of the box, and then found that it was actually a box of Class C nutrient solution, with the words "defective product" written on it, and the taste did not suit the public's taste.

Xi Chen was surrounded by huge surprise, and he almost doubted his eyes.

"Hahaha, look, girl, it's nutrient solution! We are so lucky."

Xi Chen laughed heartily. He no longer had to worry about not being able to raise the child; he had the nutrient solution.

But Liu Qingqing frowned subconsciously.

Xi Chen seemed to have remembered something at this moment and his expression gradually became serious.

It’s a long way from here to home, and I’m bound to meet other scavengers along the way.

This is a garbage planet and there are no rules at all, not to mention that this entire galaxy is a world that advocates the use of force.

Money can move people's hearts, and they naturally all know that a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure.

But...what should I do?

Xi Chen is bald.

"Well, my girl, I'm going to lead them away. Then you just go back and wait for me at home. Do you hear me?"

Xi Chen finally clenched his fists and made a decision.

His voice sounded relaxed, and he even laughed innocently.

But Liu Qingqing is not a real seven-year-old child. She naturally knows that if she does this and the scavengers don't find anything, Xi Chen will definitely be beaten up.

Moreover, there are no medicines on the garbage planet, so if the injury is too serious and the human body cannot repair itself, the only outcome is death.

Liu Qingqing's expression was complicated, she could hear the bitterness in Shi Chen's words.

In fact, if Xichen was being clever and asked her to lead the crowd away, she would understand him! But Xichen didn't do that.

This was a bit confusing for her.

The people on the garbage planet have no bottom line, and she is just Xi Chen's daughter who he had just acknowledged for one day.

Why does it feel like Xichen can really give up his life for her?

The more Liu Qingqing thought about it, the more confused she became, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

I won’t say anything else, as long as she knows that Xi Chen is really good to her.

People are all made of flesh and blood.

Now she felt that perhaps she should confess some secrets about herself to Xichen, such as the existence of space.

She pulled Xichen's sleeve, her voice soft.

"Dad, I actually know magic!"

Liu Qingqing's eyes were shining, but she was complaining in her heart.

Well, she has to play the little girl again.

"What the hell? Magic? This is unbelievable. Is there something wrong with my daughter's brain?"

When Xi Chen heard this, he felt like thunder rumbling in the sky. It was over. The daughter he had raised with great difficulty still had a problem with her brain.

But he will not give up on his daughter. Interstellar medical care is so advanced, she will definitely be able to be cured!

He decided that he would not sleep anymore and would try to make a lot of money as soon as possible to take his daughter away from the garbage planet and go to a big planet to heal his brain!

Liu Qingqing was very upset, but it was also expected.

The moment humans set foot into interstellar space, all their superpowers are returned to the universe, so there is no such thing as superpowers in interstellar space.

After all, there's a significant gap between the apocalyptic era and the current interstellar era. Humanity's data was severely damaged when they left Blue Planet, and in the later years, humanity focused on infrastructure construction and paid little attention to cultural heritage. Therefore, the vast majority of ancient Blue Planet's history is now a blank.

If today's interstellar people see a book that talks about zombies, super powers, etc., they will probably treat it as a fantasy novel.

"Really, Dad, you see I can make these things disappear and reappear."

As she spoke, Liu Qingqing raised her little hand, and the nutrient solution in front of Xi Chen disappeared in an instant.

Then she took out the nutrient solution again while Xi Chen was stunned.

"Dad, I'm not lying to you. I can really make them disappear and reappear."

Upon hearing this, Xi Chen tried his best to calm his excitement, squatted down and held Liu Qingqing's shoulders with both hands.

"Qingqing, do you mean to make these things invisible or to kick them and carry them away?"

"Of course I'll take it away!"

Xi Chen almost knelt down before Liu Qingqing when he heard this. Take it away with you? This isn't magic, it's just a portable storage space.

This high-tech is a storage tool created by researchers through the physical principle of space folding.

Currently, only high-ranking nobles in the alliance can possess this thing. No matter the size of the storage space, it will be snatched up as soon as it appears.

But...how did his daughter get this thing?

Xi Chen looked at Liu Qingqing again, and only then did he discover a clue.

In addition to her lively and charming appearance at a young age, Liu Qingqing also has white fingers and delicate skin.

How could she be a native of the garbage planet with her looks?

Ah—how come he hadn’t noticed it before!

He felt heartbroken when he thought about who knew who had offended his daughter before, and how such a little girl was abandoned on a garbage planet full of pollutants without any supplies or protective measures.

It was obvious that his daughter was also a delicate young lady, she was only seven years old. Who on earth was so abominable!

If he knew who it was, he would...

It seems that he can't do anything with his current status!

Xi Chen was a little depressed. He couldn't even avenge his daughter when she was bullied.

Now it seems that all he can do is love his daughter even more.

So Liu Qingqing witnessed Xi Chen's expression change from shock to confusion to anger and then to pity.

It's unbelievable how many expressions a human can make in just two seconds.

"Dad, let's put these nutrient solutions away and go back quickly!"

Liu Qingqing is acting cute...

"Okay, girl, let's go back quickly."

Xi Chen woke up as if from a dream. He asked Liu Qingqing to put away her things and then took her hand and left the depths of the garbage dump.

On the way, they also picked up some unimportant things and held them in their arms as a cover. Otherwise, it would be more suspicious that they had been in there for such a long time and found nothing.

In this way, the two of them hurried back to the small shabby house.

"My daughter."

As soon as she entered the room, Liu Qingqing was embraced by Xi Chen.

Completely caught off guard, Liu Qingqing fell into a daze.
