Chapter 26 I'm dizzy
The man turned around and looked at the others, pushing up his glasses, and said with a hint of excitement, "The young master's peak mental power has increased by 7.52% compared to before, which is obviously greater than the normal increase when absorbing C-level gems. We want to learn more about his energy absorption on Waste Planet No. 7."
During the growth stage of mental power, sentinels and guides need to regularly absorb gem energy of the same level to accumulate breakthrough level barriers. For C-level sentinels, the cycle of this absorption and conversion is about once every ten days, and the amount of energy absorbed each time is also capped. Any more will be wasted and cannot be absorbed and converted.
The amount of energy that each person can absorb in each cycle may vary due to talent, but for the same person, the cycle and peak value are almost fixed. A sudden peak jump like Si Liang's is extremely rare, just like a starship's speed suddenly exceeds the rated maximum value, and there seems to be no adverse effects.
If we can find a way to increase the peak absorption of mental power, it might rewrite the history of the alliance.
Jiufang Yu turned back to look at his brother. His eyelids drooped slightly, and the sunlight slid across his light-colored eyelashes. "After he was injured, his mental power was exhausted to the point where he couldn't transform. Later, he directly absorbed a C-level stone beast's beast core to replenish it. It should be B-level, but the exact total energy value is unknown."
"A stone beast killed locally?"
"right."
"Previously, the data released by the Alliance Laboratory only said that the energy of the beast core is purer and more absorbent than the energy extracted from gemstones, but there has never been any report mentioning an increase in peak energy. Or... is there something special about the stone beast on Waste Planet No. 7?" When the Sentinels consume too much energy in a short period of time due to combat, they will also experience similar mental exhaustion and often replenish their energy, but they have never found such a peak increase. Therefore, after discussion, the researchers are more inclined to focus on the beast core.
"Does this condition have any other effects on his body?" Jiufang Yan was more concerned about his son's physical condition.
"We can't be completely sure yet, but the young master's recovery from his injuries is faster than we expected, so at least there is a positive impact. Can we find a way to get more beast cores from there? The higher the level, the better. If possible, we want to continue tracking the changes in the young master's mental power after absorbing the beast cores."
Jiufang Yan clenched the handkerchief tightly, did not answer immediately, and looked up at his younger brother.
Jiufang Yu was silent for a few seconds and nodded.
Jiufang Xian pulled back a strand of hair from his temples and said, "If we study the beast core alone, Akan can find a way to solve it. But the tracking is related to Liang's body, so you should report to the head of the family and apply for it yourself."
The man with glasses bowed his head and agreed. Jiufang looked at his brother's pale face and said, "You don't seem to be in good condition. Tomorrow is the day for routine check-up. Do you want to go together today?"
Jiufang Yu nodded slightly.
"Mom~ Uncle~" At this moment, Si Liang was already dressed, opened the door and ran towards them.
"If you dare to run away from home again, I will break your legs!" Jiufang Yan scolded his son with a stern face.
"Mom, I was wrong. I was just worried about my uncle's health, so I wanted to give him the new cleaning drug developed by the Second Institute for a try." Si Liang hugged Jiufang Yu's legs and blinked his big eyes pitifully.
"You, don't even think about going out within a year." Jiufang Yan had no idea what to do with his spoiled son and poked his forehead angrily.
Si Liang: ...
It’s over. This time, I’m sure people will watch me closely.
Half an hour later, Jiu Fangyu finished the inspection, and the man with glasses walked over with an unpleasant expression, "Master Han..."
Seeing Si Liang running over, Jiufang Yu raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "Send the report over. I'll take a closer look after dinner."
"Uncle, I've prepared something delicious for you." Si Liang dragged him towards the restaurant mysteriously.
At the dining table, Si Liang ignored the dishes on the table, opened the bottle at hand, scooped two large spoonfuls of food on the rice like offering a treasure, and said, "Uncle, try this. This is the butter made by Huanhuan. It's delicious when mixed with rice."
Jiufang Yan looked at the two people who had a harmonious relationship and smiled without saying anything.
Jiufang Yu glanced at the light green glass bottle. He remembered that Qi Huan had put several sauces in this bottle, saying that they were all what Si Liang liked to eat, but he added some spotted beast oil. He had someone test it on the starship and it was fine to eat.
The slightly solidified butter melted immediately when it met the steaming rice, becoming crispy and oily. Si Liang stirred it vigorously with a spoon for a few times. The jade-white rice grains were coated with the delicate sauce, which was golden and shiny, with each grain distinct, and exuding a charming aroma.
Jiufang Yu's mecha is lightweight and speed-oriented. Besides strictly controlling the weight, he also habitually controls his own weight. Even if he exercises a lot, he doesn't eat much. Now that he has health problems, he has even less appetite.
But he ate up the bowl of rice without realizing it.
“Isn’t it delicious?” Si Liang raised his eyebrows proudly and looked at him.
"It's really good." The bowl of noodles last time was also very delicious, it can be said to be a miracle. Jiufang Yu smiled faintly and touched Si Liang's head, "I'll buy a few more cans for you when I go back."
We also need to find a way to get as many high-level beast cores as possible for laboratory research. In addition, the guy who almost killed Aliang must not be let go.
“Do you want to let Xiao Ba come out and try it?” Si Liang asked eagerly.
Jiufang Yu touched his head and said, "It's sleeping."
"Why is it so sleepy now?" Si Liang complained.
"Don't always think about playing with your uncle's soul beast." Jiufang Yu looked at her brother worriedly, then shook her head, signaling that it was okay.
"Mom, can you bring Huanhuan to the Jiuchong Star Region? Can you hire him as the Si family's cook? I can't wait to eat his cooking every day." Si Liang held up his fatter face and looked at Jiufang Yan with sparkling eyes. If he couldn't go, could he find a way to invite Huanhuan back?
"His relatives and friends are all in Feixing. You can't let them leave just for your own selfish reasons." Jiufang Yan said disapprovingly.
“Huanhuan is an orphan and her adoptive father is dead. She has no relatives there. She does have two friends, but the conditions on the waste planet are so bad and there are stone beasts everywhere. As a human, Huanhuan has no ability to protect himself, so it is very dangerous to live there.” Si Liang lay down on the table in frustration, but he was still trying hard.
"Speaking of the ability to protect yourself, do you have the ability to protect yourself? How are you going to compensate the families of those guards who suffered an accident while protecting you?"
Si Liang lowered his head.
"It's not enough to just admit your mistakes, you have to take concrete actions. From now on, you have to allocate a portion of your monthly allowance to the families of the guards. You have to take time out every month to go to their homes and help them for one day, and do this for at least a year."
"Yeah." Si Liang nodded obediently.
As the two were talking, a translucent gray shadow silently stood on Jiufang Yu's shoulder. As its body gradually solidified, its color became darker and darker, gradually turning into a furry, round black ball.
The little ball of fur is only half the size of a palm, with shiny black and soft fur, a pair of smart and lively eyes that are as bright as amber, clear and transparent, two symmetrical yellow crystal-like curved horns on the top of the head, and four equally bright yellow hooves under the feet, which are crystal clear. In the sunlight, the horns and hooves are shining and golden, and it is extraordinarily beautiful.
The next second, the black ball of hair suddenly jumped onto the dining table and rushed towards the bottle of butter in front of Si Liang like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he opened his mouth and swallowed the remaining half of the can of butter along with the bottle. The body of the little ball of hair immediately expanded to twice its size.
Si Liang, who was being scolded, was stunned and stared at it blankly. He didn't react for a moment to what happened. But Jiufang Yu grabbed the left corner of the black fur ball and lifted it up, saying seriously, "You ate random things when you woke up, spit it out quickly."
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" The black fur ball hummed in a childish voice and flapped its four-foot shiny hooves, but kept its mouth tightly closed and refused to open.
"Xiao Ba stole my butter!" Si Liang jumped up from the chair a little late, pointing at Heituanzi and complaining to his uncle.
"I'll compensate you three times the amount in the future." Jiufang Yu decisively stated that he would take responsibility.
My uncle is the most generous person in the world, and he always keeps his word. Having received the promise, Si Liang stopped worrying and looked at the black fur ball fluttering in his hands with a worried look, "Uncle, it seems to have shrunk again. Soul beasts are condensed from spiritual power. Maybe you usually eat too little and starve it."
Jiufang Yu: ...
When Zhouqiba first transformed, he was not very sensible and had difficulty communicating. He was indeed willful and ate anything he could get his hands on, even mechas and houses. This really gave him a headache for a while, but later he became sensible and there was no problem. The previous examination said that his spiritual body was gradually degenerating. According to the current situation, has it regressed to the time when he first transformed?
The business trip plan was postponed for three consecutive days, until Diwuyuan was forced to leave reluctantly.
On the one hand, Qi Huan was a little reluctant to part with him, but on the other hand, he felt a lot more relieved.
It's not about cooking, but the bunch of mini robot bears from Diwuyuan appear in every corner of the restaurant every day like patrolling, cleaning at any time. When you lift the lid of an empty pot, there may be a grease cleaner hanging on it. When you turn on the faucet, two dirt cleaners may emerge from the sewer, startling him and making a lot of noise. He finally got rid of the hot and cold feeling in his body these two nights, but every time he closed his eyes and went to sleep, he dreamed of a bunch of mini bears falling from the roof and rushing to every corner of the house like a march.
Before leaving, Diwuyuan left the mechanical butler bear at the restaurant in the human world, and asked it to "work" for Qi Huan, and promised to come back to get it the next time he came. It happened that Qi Huan's hands were not convenient, so he usually helped clean the restaurant, serve food, move things, etc., acting as a housework robot.
Qi Huan was originally quite happy, but when he found out that the bear needed a C-level energy stone, his smile fell. C-level! Other people's housework robots can use E-level, why does this bear need a C-level? How can he afford a C-level energy stone? After using up this energy stone, he can only do it himself. The great man was right, do it yourself, and you will have enough food and clothing.
These days Qi Huan has also been thinking about opening the store in the morning.
He was already familiar with quite a few ingredients and most of the kitchen utensils. He could also independently handle the unloading work of D-level stone beasts at the unloading yard. He gradually became proficient in it. He could squeeze out two or three hours in the morning to open the store and do some breakfast business. He would leave the cleaning and follow-up work to the robot bear and rush to the unloading yard himself. He should be able to make it in time.
The choices on the menu are all relatively convenient or quick to prepare, such as crab roe noodles, mushroom and animal meat sauce noodles, mahjong noodles, and clear soup noodles. Noodles can be made in advance and put in the refrigerator and cooked later; animal egg sandwiches, shrimp sandwiches, caramel toast, etc., and the toast can also be toasted in advance; as for spring breeze steamed buns, animal egg soup, and fruit milkshakes, these are relatively quick to make.
When business is slow, he can still find time to make some animal meat buns, three-fresh buns, crystal shrimp dumplings, diced meat steamed buns, and brown sugar sesame cakes. He can learn from the convenience store method of putting the wrapped raw food in the freezer and freezing it, and then steaming it when someone orders it.
Later, after we have a thorough understanding of the customer flow at the west gate and the dietary preferences of most hunting teams, we will consider enriching the main meal menu.
In the kitchen, a machine was pressing noodles. Qi Huan was sitting in the hall considering the price of each breakfast item, preparing for tomorrow's trial operation. Quan Hai walked in with a bulging cloth bag.
"What is it?" Qi Huan shook the pen in his hand and looked at the cloth bag curiously.
"This is the doll you asked for last time. Quan Yu was busy delivering the goods a few days ago, so he only had time to make it in the past two days." Quan Hai took out a black cat the size of a pillow from the cloth bag.
The fabric is black short velvet, and the eyes are buttons made from scrap ore, which are specially picked in green color so that they can flash under the light, making them vivid. The eyelashes, beard, mouth, and claws are all embroidered with silver thread one by one, and the stitches are dense and smooth, much more exquisite than Qi Huan had expected. It's a pity that the little guy can't use it now.
"Thank your sister for me." Qi Huan took the black cat and squeezed it twice. It felt very soft, so he immediately held it in his arms. Forget it, the little guy couldn't use it, so he would use it himself.
"Don't be polite. We've both gained weight by eating dinner from you every day. She also feels embarrassed about it. She can't wait to cook something for you." Quan Hai put today's nutrient solution on the table. Qi Huan now eats the nutrient solution as lunch. Although it doesn't taste good, it is convenient and free, so he doesn't want to waste it.
"We'll have noodles tonight, but you have to wait. It will probably take half an hour." Qi Huan wrote 5 silver coins behind the noodles with sesame sauce with a stroke of his pen. With the flow of people in the base, he couldn't sell too much breakfast, and couldn't go the route of small profits but quick turnover. So he planned to go the boutique route, positioning himself as 'delicious', 'unique' but 'a little expensive'.
Judging from the customers he had received sporadically over the past few days, most of them were not very sensitive to price, especially after running around in the hunting grounds for many days and eating countless nutrient solutions. He was confident that the taste would make people feel that the price was worth it. Besides, he had to get some youth subsidy for getting up early.
In addition, the stock of crab roe sauce was running low, and Uncle Wan suggested that the crab roe noodles, which were selling less and less, should be sold at a high price, so he directly wrote down 50 silver coins.
"That young master didn't come today?" Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Quan Hai sat down opposite him.
"I'm leaving."
Quan Hai leaned forward and asked in a low and gossipy voice, "Is his last name Diwu?"
"How do you know?" Qi Huan moved his eyes away from the menu and looked across in surprise.
"Did you see the buttons on his clothes? They're made of top-grade crystal. Anyone who can afford to use those crystal buttons with a gold background must be from a special family." Quan Hai poked his finger at the collar of his clothes. "Two years ago, Host Xing hosted a banquet and my sister was asked to help embroider the tablecloths. They said that the ten great families had their own representative gemstones, and the decorative gemstones on the handkerchiefs couldn't be wrong. The Jiufang family had white jade, the Yao family had sapphire, and the fifth family had crystal."
Qi Huan nodded, thinking carefully, it is true that crystals appear most frequently in Diwuyuan's clothing and accessories. He suddenly thought of the button of his lifesaver in his cabinet, and his heart skipped a beat, "Whose company uses green gemstones?"
"Then I don't know. Quan Yu has only done these three." Quan Hai shook his head. In fact, he couldn't even count all the ten major families.
Qi Huan: ...
That’s right, the Jiufang family only has two ‘friends’.
There's no rush anyway, so I'll check it next time I go to the command hall and access the star network when I have time.
"When are you and Rondo free these days? Let's go to the command hall to surf the Internet again. I'll treat you." Thinking of surfing the Internet, Qi Huan thought about the live broadcast. Last time, he was in a hurry and did not check many specific requirements about the live broadcast. He should take some time to make preparations. Once the arm reexamination is completed and there are no problems, he can consider starting the broadcast.
"Let's hold the Colored Stone Festival three days later, which happens to be a half-day holiday at the base." Quan Hai suggested.
Qi Huan naturally had no objection.
The noodles were pressed in the kitchen, and Qi Huan went in to cook them. Quan Hai followed him in, wanting to ask if there was anything he could help with. He was startled to see a bear standing in the kitchen, and he scratched his head and asked, "What is that?"
"My personal robot butler." Qi Huan said proudly.
Quan Hai looked at the bear. "Quan Yu is thinking of making a new quilt for you in a couple of days. If you like bears, I'll ask her to embroider a few more on the quilt for you. My sister's embroidery skills are among the best in the entire base..."
"Don't do that!" Qi Huan's face changed immediately and he interrupted him anxiously, "I'm dizzy."
Quan Hai: ???
