Chapter 85 Why do you care so much about my feelings?
Shu Qingqing glanced at Qiao Mei with gratitude, released Shang Duojin's collar, and as if none of the previous awkward incidents had happened, straightened her slightly wrinkled black and pink dress, and extended her right hand to Zuo Chenxing, saying, "Hello."
She didn't tell Zuo Chenxing that she was his biggest fan, so Zuo Chenxing didn't think much of it, since he was so obscure and not many people knew him.
So he politely gave Shu Qingqing a light handshake, smiled and said with his peach blossom eyes, "Hello, my name is Zuo Chenxing, Zuo as in left side, Chen as in star, and Xing as in star."
Two swirling tadpole-like patterns appeared in Shu Qingqing's eyes when Zuo Chenxing returned her handshake. Her brain was still a bit fuzzy as she replied, "Hello, my name is Shu Qingqing. Shu is the 'comfortable' part, and Qing is the 'green' part, so you can call me Qingqing!!"
"Sure, but where are you planning to go? Judging from your appearance, you're all freshmen, right?"
Qiao Mei thought about what Zuo Chenxing had told her when he was wearing the Star Vest, that his strength level was three-star Saint Beast Disciple. She stroked her chin and asked him if he had any plans afterward.
The blond youth scratched the back of his head shyly again, looked in the direction the little wildcat that had been trapped by the plant stems had left, and honestly shook his head: "No, otherwise I wouldn't have had the time to come and help the kitten get out of its predicament."
Qiao Mei smiled, her red eyes narrowing, and asked him if he was interested in earning some extra money.
“We have something we need to auction at the underground auction house in the black market, but we’re not very familiar with this area and our strength is relatively low. So we’d like to hire someone like a guide to help us get there. We can offer you 1,000 interstellar coins as a reward. If you think that’s too little, we can increase it. What do you think?”
Shu Qingqing was completely dumbfounded by Qiao Mei's actions.
Didn't it used to cost 3,000 Star Coins to hire a mercenary? How come it's suddenly reduced to 1,000 Star Coins, and the person taking the money is her idol?!
After listening to Qiao Mei's words, Zuo Chenxing thought for a moment and then waved his hand: "If you want to go, I can be your guide, but you don't need to pay. If you really feel bad about it, it's almost noon, so just take me with you when you eat lunch and treat me to a meal."
Qiao Mei agreed quickly, seemingly having anticipated Zuo Chenxing's response. She smiled and replied, "Sure, then please guide me later. My name is Qiao Mei, a freshman in the Beast Taming Department of the Federal Academy. My two friends are in the same department as me. Qingqing needs no introduction, and this is…."
"Ahem." Shang Duojin interrupted Qiao Mei, gave her a wink, and began to activate his personal computer.
When Qiao Mei saw this scene, she recalled the ridiculous and cheesy self-introduction Shang Duojin had given her earlier. She twitched her lips and interrupted his long and cheesy self-introduction.
Before he could speak, she interjected, "Shang Duojin, the 'Shang' in 'business,' and Duojin in 'wealth.' If there are no other questions, shall we set off now?"
Shang Duojin, who had just finished preparing to play the background music of his computer playing electric guitar: ? ? ?
......
The black market on the Federation Star usually officially opens at 2 PM.
After having lunch with Zuo Chenxing, Qiao Mei and her group rested in the private room for a while, and it was almost time to leave.
Because underground auction houses are such a mixed bag, people who enter usually choose to wear a mask to cover their real faces.
After Qiao Mei bought a pure white smiling mask and put it on, she glanced at Ao Cang, who was wrapped around her neck.
The fact that she had contracted a holy abandoned beast was known almost throughout the entire galaxy.
If her pure black dragon body is exposed like this, even wearing ten masks won't help.
So he asked Shang Duojin if the potion he had given Leiting could be selectively changed to a certain color.
Shang Duojin: "Sure, you want to give it to Lord Ao Cang, right? Anyway, I have some extra here. Here's a tube for you. Just input the command to see what color you want it to turn."
For soft-tissue animals like the Ao Cang, the small green snake is currently the most suitable for camouflage.
Qiao Mei took the color-changing potion from Shang Duojin, specified the color as cyan like thunder, glanced at the dragon horns that had grown out of his dragon head, thought for a moment, then lifted her bright red knitted shawl, revealing her fair arms and a section of her neck: "Cangcang, come in, remember to bury the dragon head in the shawl."
The girl's skin was snow-white and smooth, and she exuded a faint fragrance.
Ao Cang stared at her fair skin for a while before slowly dragging his dragon body closer, gradually encircling more of her skin and pressing himself tightly against her.
Then the dragon buried its entire head inside her red knitted shawl, and its breath sprayed onto Qiao Mei's neck with each breath, making her body go weak and her eyes redden.
However, considering that we were outside and there were other people around,
Qiao Mei suppressed the urge to do something to Ao Cang, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then followed the computer navigation to the underground auction house with Shu Qingqing and the others, entering the venue ahead of time.
"Hey, Senior Zuo, why don't you sit next to me? I have some questions about the Federal Academy that I'd like to ask you."
As Shu Qingqing spoke, she bumped into Shang Duojin, who was originally planning to sit next to her, making Shang Duojin laugh in exasperation.
He was about to say something when Qiao Mei tugged at his sleeve, diverting his attention by asking, "What's the typical price range for a starstone? I only have a little over 300,000 interstellar coins on hand, I don't know if that's enough."
