After a good sleep, Georgia put aside all her weaknesses and began to think about repaying the favor and compensating for the Philosopher's Stone.
He had just arrived in this strange place, he couldn't speak the language, he didn't understand anything, and he might not be able to repay the favor for the time being, but he had to put the matter of paying back the magic stone on the agenda as soon as possible. Yesterday, he was anxious to contact his parents, and impulsively used up the wood magic stone completely. Although the people who took him in didn't pursue the matter, he felt very embarrassed and guilty.
That's a high-level wood magic stone, and even my father doesn't have many of them.
Thinking of this, he took out the earth magic stone that the white-haired monster had given him yesterday, touched it carefully, and felt the earth magic power inside that was so rich that it was almost condensed into substance. His cheeks flushed slightly.
Most ordinary earth magic stones are ugly gray-brown in color. The higher the quality, the darker and purer the color. This one is so beautifully black, it is simply the best among earth magic stones!
But why did the white-haired monster put this in his hand? His tone and expression were obviously fierce, but his actions were always contradictory and kind. What exactly was the white-haired monster going to do?
His thoughts wandered for a while, and he came back to his senses. He carefully put the badge-shaped earth magic stone into his pocket, then took out the wood magic stone that had turned into pieces, touched it reluctantly, and buried it in the flowerpot in the corner of the room.
The Wood Magic Stone is the most natural nutrient for plants. Although the magic power of this high-level magic stone has been consumed, the stone itself that has been nourished by magic power is also very beneficial to plants, so it would be a pity to throw it away.
After burying it, he touched the wilted leaves of the strange plant, thought for a while, and transferred some wood magic to the roots of the plant. Seeing that the leaves of the strange plant were more energetic, he smiled with satisfaction.
After doing this, he sat back on the bed, put his hand on the storage ring, and began to look for something that could be used to compensate for the high-level wood magic stone.
He was really poor. In his storage ring, besides some tools, there were only a lot of books left by his father and various gadgets made by his mother. The universal currency of the magic continent was crystals. Although he had saved some, it was definitely not enough to pay for magic stones. He also didn't know if crystals were accepted here. If not, he would be completely penniless.
The more he searched, the more discouraged he became. Just when he began to consider whether he should go out and find a job to earn money, a large crimson stone appeared in his sight.
Huh?
He blinked and turned his attention to the corner of the storage ring. He belatedly remembered that when he escaped from the pit, he also dug up a lot of things that looked like ore and put them in the storage ring.
This thing... must be very valuable.
The bad guys in protective suits paid great attention to the red stone dug out from the ground, and even collected all the broken stones. It can be seen that the strange red stone is very important. Although this dark red stone appeared underground, it is obviously the same as the red ore on the ground, and it may be even better, so it should be very valuable.
I'll use this as compensation for the magic stone, I wonder if the white-haired monster will accept it...
The image of a grey metal giant bombarding a field of rocks without a care in the world suddenly flashed through his mind, and his excitement subsided a little, and he shook his ears.
The protective suit villain's precious things, but the white-haired monster and his group just wanted to blow them up, which shows that the other party doesn't care much about those ores. Moreover, someone who uses high-level top-level magic stones at the first move may not look down on these stones that he doesn't even know the value of and that make people feel uncomfortable.
He stared at his palm for a long time, and finally decided with a stern face - take a small crimson stone to see the reaction of the white-haired monster and his group! If the other party is willing to accept it, and the stone is valuable, he will give them all the crimson stones on him, and then take them to the rocky ground to dig out the remaining crimson stones, as a way to repay the favor! If they are not willing, he will find a way to work hard to make money to buy a high-level wood magic stone to compensate them! The matter of repaying the favor will be considered later!
In fact, he still had a secret hope in his heart, that is, whether the black hole that brought him here was really an ancient magic circle carved in the rocky ground by an evil wizard, and whether it was possible that it would appear again and send him back to his hometown.
The blood traction failed, and that was almost his only hope of returning home, so he wanted to try his luck.
With a goal in mind, he immediately became energetic. When Zhuang Yu came to him after lunch, he was no longer reserved and tense as before, and gave the other person a big smile without hesitation.
Zhuang Yu leaned against the wall and covered his nose, his face red.
So, so cute, such a bright smile, such a pretty little face with a rosy blush, such fluffy and naturally curly hair, such little ears that tremble unconsciously... Oh, why can a boy be so cute, I really want to tie him home and fondle him enough!
Georgia was frightened by her gaze and raised her hand to gesture in confusion - what's wrong?
After the gesture, he became a little worried. This beautiful lady's face was so red. Was she sick? The language barrier was really a very troublesome thing. He wanted to express his concern and kindness but there was no way.
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Zhuang Yu's heart softened. He quickly gave him a comforting smile, stood up straight, shook his head and replied, "Nothing, let's go. I found a universal language teacher for you. I have to go to class."
Georgia didn't understand what she said, but saw clearly her gesture to let her follow. She nodded obediently, took a step to follow, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a thumb-sized crimson stone and handed it to her.
Dwarves are very straightforward and don't know how to be tactful. When they saw someone, they naturally expressed their purpose immediately.
"Hmm? Have you prepared a gift for me? Thank you." Zhuang Yu's heart fluttered when he looked at her. She asked gently while looking at what he was holding in his hand and stretched out her hand.
Georgia immediately placed the crimson stone in her palm and looked at her expectantly - what would her benefactor's reaction be? Was the stone worth the money? Was it enough to pay for the Philosopher's Stone and repay the favor? Most importantly, could the stone buy him a chance to return to the Stone Land?
An uncomfortable burning sensation came from the palm of his hand. Zhuang Yu stared at the crimson stone in his palm with his eyes wide open. His smile froze for two seconds. Then he threw the stone away without hesitation, took out a tube of injection from his pocket and drank it. He covered his head and screamed in disarray: "Ahhhh, mutated red tin ore! Radiation! My mental power!"
The stone hit the ground with a crisp sound. Georgia was stunned, looking at Zhuang Yu who collapsed and screamed in astonishment. She bent down to pick up the red stone, but wanted to get closer but didn't dare to, feeling very helpless.
Has he, has he gotten into trouble again?
Zhuang Yu, who was about to collapse, saw that he actually picked up the damn mutant red tin ore again. He was so exhausted that he almost choked to death. He anxiously asked him to throw the stone away, pressed the alarm in his pocket, and shouted to the control room: "Seal off the corridor of area E1! Send the radiation cleanup team over! And protective clothing! Bring two sets! Quick!"
The sound of the alarm made Georgia feel panicky. He shrank into a corner, feeling more and more helpless.
Half an hour later, Zhuang Yu and Georgia were taken to an isolation room by Fan Xiangnan who had rushed over after hearing the news, along with the mutated red tin ore covered by the isolation cover.
"Where did you get this thing?" Fan Xiangnan asked seriously.
Georgia looked up at him, her expression tense with helplessness and guilt. She pursed her lips and shook her head without saying anything.
Zhuang Yu, who had calmed down, pushed Fan Xiangnan away and rolled his eyes at him: "Why are you asking? This kid doesn't understand. Judging from his reaction when he gave me the stone, he probably doesn't know what the mutated red tin ore represents. Don't scare him."
Fan Xiangnan also remembered the language barrier and rubbed his forehead with a headache: "What should I do now? The boss is in a meeting and should be here soon. He has a bad patience."
Thinking of his boss's face, Zhuang Yu twitched his lips. He glanced at Georgia, who was sitting at the table with her head down and listless. He let out a long breath, took out his electronic notebook, sat opposite Georgia, and waved his hand boldly: "Let me ask! We may not speak the same language, but everyone can understand the drawings! I am pretty good at drawing cartoons!"
Fan Xiangnan: "...Then you do your best." For now, this is the only thing we can do.
Another half an hour passed, and Chu Rong rushed to the isolation room with a cold face. He glanced at Georgia who was drawing at the table, strode forward, picked up the mutant red tin ore covered by the isolation cover on the table, looked at it, and asked unhappily: "What are you doing? Playing a drawing game with a child?"
Just as Fan Xiangnan was about to explain, he was interrupted by Zhuang Yu's strange voice: "Sir, take a look at this."
An electronic notebook was handed over. Chu Rong took it and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the childish pictures on it. His voice became eight degrees colder: "Do you want to go back for retraining?"
"No, look carefully, these were drawn by the little cutie. He is explaining to us the origin of the mutated red tin ore. Because of the language barrier, I came up with this way of communication. I'm not kidding..." Zhuang Yu explained stiffly, and in her heart she rejected the suggestion of going back to training a thousand times - she didn't want to relive the nightmare at all!
Chu Rong's focus was on something else. He narrowed his eyes and repeated, "Little cutie?"
Zhuang Yu was stunned, nodded, looked at Georgia, who was sitting obediently aside after finishing the painting, waiting for the verdict, and shyly replied: "Yes, I don't know his name, so I just gave him a nickname." There is no more suitable nickname than this!
Being watched by them, Georgia's scalp tensed unconsciously. Thinking of the things he had drawn, he raised his hand and touched the storage ring, feeling very uneasy. These people were good people, but he didn't want to expose the little secret of the storage ring, so he was careful when he was drawing just now, and used the abandoned space storage supplies that he found in the pit and left behind curiously to cover the existence of the storage ring, hoping that they would not find the flaw.
Seeing that he was starting to make a self-protective gesture again, Chu Rong frowned, stretched out his hand to rub his bangs on his forehead, forced him to raise his head, and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? No one here will bully you."
Georgia covered his forehead and glared at him - why did this man always force him to take out the hammer? The dwarf warrior's head cannot be touched casually!
"Promising." Chu Rong stopped looking at him, threw the mutated red tin ore onto the table, and lowered his head to flip through the pictures in the electronic book.
The painting is not long. At the beginning, there is a scene of a pointy-eared little man hiding in a hole. There is a fat man outside the hole who is trying to get in. Then the little man hides back and accidentally touches a stone in the hole, revealing a winding tunnel behind the stone. The little man walked into the tunnel to avoid the fat man, picked up some red gravel in the tunnel, and then escaped through the tunnel. After reaching the ground, the little man met several metal giants, who rescued him and took good care of him. In order to repay the metal giants, the little man gave away the stones he picked up.
The plot is clear at a glance, and Georgia's ability to tell stories with pictures is excellent.
Chu Rong tilted his head and looked Georgia up and down with an unpredictable expression. He suddenly curled his lips, walked forward and picked him up, and ordered Fan Xiangnan: "Let a small team prepare, bring protective shields and protective clothing, and we will go to mine."
"Mining?" Fan Xiangnan was stunned.
"Yes." Uncle Chu nodded in a good mood and explained patiently: "The Xiang family's arrogant mecha builders have spent a year looking for something and now it's in front of us. If we don't dig it out, how can we justify their ridicule of the Chu family back then? Not only will I dig out the ore, I will also put it in front of them to piss them off to death."
Fan Xiangnan: “…” That was an old almanac from many years ago, but the boss still remembered it.
"Do you have any objections?" Uncle Chu was unhappy when he didn't get an immediate response.
"No, I'll arrange it right away." Fan Xiangnan tactfully remained silent, took out his communicator and began to issue orders.
Georgia, who was held in Chu Rong's hand, was keenly aware of something and didn't struggle. He was a little excited. This white-haired monster immediately pretended to go out after seeing his painting. Was he going to the rocky land? Would they take him with them?
He thought of this, and Zhuang Yu, who was always paying attention to him, naturally thought of this as well, and gently reminded him: "Sir, the little cutie's mental strength is seriously damaged, and it is not suitable for him to go to the mine to be infected again."
Chu Rong retracted his steps upon hearing this and looked down at Georgia, who was unusually well behaved in his hand.
Georgia looked up at him, wondering why he stopped at first, then noticed that everyone's eyes were on her and suddenly understood something. Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed his arm, wrapped her legs around him, and tensed her little face.
No! In order to go home, he must not be left behind!
