Soon it was holiday time again. When Glek got home, his parents immediately pulled him aside and interrogated him repeatedly about the details of his visit to the Marshal's Mansion that day. Glek's mouth was almost dry from talking.
"Yes, Dad. I made an agreement with the Marshal that all the supplies we get will be given to him, and he will give us corresponding interstellar coins as a reward."
"That's right, they said they could reserve a spot for me as a bodyguard, but if I'm too bad, it definitely won't work. I'll try my best."
"Of course the Marshal's Mansion is very luxurious, after all, it is the Marshal's residence."
"Yes, Mother, the Marshal is even more handsome than I saw on the StarNet."
"An autograph? I hadn't thought of that. I'll try to see if the Marshal would be willing next time."
Last time, Glek was so nervous in front of the Marshal that he almost couldn't speak, so he didn't even think about asking the Marshal for an autograph.
Besides, it would be a bit presumptuous to make such a request on our first meeting. What if it upsets the marshal? Wouldn't that be a loss?
Mrs. Carl said with some regret, "Alright, please remember to ask for me next time you have the chance."
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. If she could get the Marshal's autograph, her best friends would be extremely envious of her.
Mr. Karl coughed lightly after hearing his wife's words: "Well, if the Marshal doesn't mind, Glek, could you please get me an autograph too?"
Marshal Maurice is an idol of the entire empire; regardless of age or gender, everyone wants to get his autograph.
"Mom and Dad, don't have too high expectations. Although I will try my best, there's nothing I can do if the Marshal is unwilling," Glek felt he had to be upfront about the unpleasant things.
Mr. Carl waved his hand dismissively: "Son, you don't need to be so modest. Dad believes you can do it. Keep it up!"
Glek: "..."
After finally calming his parents down, Glek quickly went back to his room.
He leaned back on the sofa and let out a huge sigh of relief. Oh no! His parents seemed to have mistaken him for a turtle in a wishing well.
Although he has an unusual system, he is still just an ordinary person in front of the Imperial Marshal.
Fortunately, Glek was not discouraged by this. He didn't have any grand dreams; he just wanted to live happily with his parents and family.
Although a great figure like the Imperial Marshal holds a high position, he also bears corresponding responsibilities. The safety of the entire empire rests on his shoulders. For Glek, who is still in school, these are all very distant concepts.
Glek's biggest worries every day are things like not being able to get up for class and the school's training being too strenuous.
Lost in his own thoughts, Glek suddenly received a video call invitation from Xia Qingqing.
After the video call connected, Xia Qingqing's slightly apologetic face appeared on the system panel: "Glake, I'm sorry, I was in class just now so I didn't receive your video call."
Glek smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry. I actually wanted to trade something with you."
"Is this another fruit transaction?" Xia Qingqing asked.
"No, this time I want to find something else, such as soil from your plane, plant seeds, animal cubs..."
Glek said a lot of things, all of which his adjutant had specifically instructed him to exchange.
Adjutant Caesar is currently Glek's direct contact, but Glek doesn't have the authority to contact the Marshal directly.
Furthermore, the Marshal doesn't have that much free time. If he had to do all these things himself, he wouldn't be able to finish them all even if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep every day.
After a moment's thought, Xia Qingqing quickly agreed to the deal proposed by Glek: "Glek, I can provide you with whatever you're asking for, but what will you give me in exchange?"
After pondering for a moment, Glek realized that he couldn't find anything that could attract Xia Qingqing's attention.
"Is there anything you want? Nutrient solution? Hover vehicle? Nanny robot? You probably don't need the space button anyway."
The interdimensional trading system's built-in system warehouse is far more powerful than their interstellar space buttons. Not only is the space larger, but more importantly, it can freeze time, so food stored inside won't spoil.
Glek could only think of things he could access, and apart from the nutrient solution, the other three items were not cheap.
However, the price was not something he should worry about; his adjutant, Nishizawa, had said that he could reimburse him for all transactions.
Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard about the things Glek mentioned, but she quickly pursed her lips again.
What to do? She's really interested in the hovercar and nanny robot that Glek mentioned. Even though neither of these things is convenient to be seen in public, she can still enjoy them in private.
"Greek, I want both the hovercar and the nanny robot you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Glek considered for about three seconds before readily agreeing: "Since you want them both, I'll buy you one of each, but it might take until tomorrow to get them to you."
Glek's thinking was simple: since he could get the adjutant to reimburse him for the money anyway, why not do him a favor and also build a good relationship with Xia Qingqing?
"Really? Won't you be at a disadvantage? How about I send you some more all-natural food from our world? We have a lot of delicious food here that you've never tried before," Xia Qingqing said somewhat embarrassedly.
Glek's straightforwardness was beyond her expectations. She thought he would try to take advantage of her a little. To be honest, she felt a bit guilty about exchanging cheap mud and seeds for someone else's high technology.
However, she only felt slightly guilty, since everyone was getting what they wanted and she didn't force Glek to make the trade.
When Glek heard that Xia Qingqing was going to bring him extra food, he was moved to tears: "Xia Qingqing, thank you so much. What color do you want for that hovercar? We can customize it with your favorite color and pattern. Different hovercars can carry different numbers of people, including four-seater, six-seater, eight-seater... What size do you need?"
Xia Qingqing thought it was similar to a car, except one runs on the ground and the other flies in the sky. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's go with black. As for seats, a four-seater would be fine."
She knew she couldn't drive the hovercar during the day, so she planned to take it out for a spin on a dark and windy night sometime in the future.
Then she can easily fit a four-seater hovercar by herself; a larger one would be more difficult to store.
