Chapter 219 Chapter 219 This is all part of the plan...
Everyone was stunned.
The main reason was that I had just learned that this creature belonged to the humanoid race, not some star beast, and I had just finished cursing this little guy's irresponsible family in my heart.
But when I turned around—the Feather Tribe?
Is this the Feather Clan they know?
Interstellar people are generally more protective of their young.
Especially after the great war with the Zerg, the population dropped sharply, and each race was relatively tolerant of their young. The most famous among them were the Feathered Tribe, which had a low fertility rate and a gene of caring for their young that was ingrained in their bones.
It can be said that they thought of all kinds of races, but the Feathered Race was the only one they couldn't think of.
After all, who in the Feather Tribe would throw out a cub?!
Everyone couldn't help but look at Wei Cui's expression as he brought the cub back.
The man was tall and slender, and without the usual white coat, he looked even more cool and elegant.
At this moment, he had just washed off the traces of inferior nutrient solution, and after drying his slender white hands, he was slowly putting on gloves.
Well, Director Wei's expression today is the same as always...
Wait a minute, Director Wei, are you wearing your gloves backwards?
Wei Cui paused for a moment and put his gloves back on.
"Re-measure."
"……OK."
Everyone knows that the accuracy of this machine can reach more than 97 percent.
For unidentified creatures, the accuracy of this instrument is sufficient and can basically confirm them.
But it is true that the cubs of the Feather Clan cannot be left behind easily.
Soon, the second test began.
This time, Feng Xi felt the discomfort more clearly. This scanning measurement was not comfortable.
The cub whimpered weakly, its consciousness briefly disconnected from the other side. Finally, the cub, which had been unconscious due to soul injury, weakly opened its eyes inside the eggshell.
The golden eyes were half-closed in the darkness, looking a little listless.
The little hand stretched out, but there was no way it could break the hard phoenix egg, it just made the eggshell move slightly.
It's so dark and crowded here.
There are also a lot of strange smells around, and that feeling makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Where are the bad guys? The bad guys...
He is very uncomfortable here.
The little guy began to feel aggrieved, and then began to struggle.
What are they doing?
So angry.
The shell cannot be broken.
Very angry.
Xiao Fengxi was extremely angry.
She was so angry that tears were streaming down her face and she pushed the eggshell hard.
The researchers from the Institute of Critical Destruction watched helplessly as the little guy was soaked in the high-quality nutrient solution. He seemed to have woken up and was shaking in circles like a tumbler, crying as he shook.
How should I put it? I really wanted to laugh, but he was crying so pitifully - what should I do?
How can it be pitiful and cute at the same time?
The test results came out quickly.
There is no difference from the previous test results.
Wei Cui's originally gentle face became a little serious, and he looked at the two reports for a long time.
"Director Wei, other tests have detected a Star Network mental power signal connection. The connection strength is relatively weak, but it meets the conditions for mental power login to the virtual warehouse."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around was even more surprised.
"What? Does this mean this little thing can log into the Star Network and connect to the virtual warehouse while still in its eggshell?"
"Maybe it's a coincidence. After all, the Feather Tribe generally has strong mental strength."
"Why do I feel like this eggshell looks a little familiar?"
But that's what I said.
They still couldn't help but observe Wei Cui's reaction.
Wei Cui looked serious.
"Have someone contact the research institute below and inquire about the specific situation. Give me a detailed copy of the Star Network signal, and also—"
Wei Cui frowned slightly.
"Pay attention to surveillance. The Feather Tribe has no youngsters left outside. Decades ago, the Zerg had a branch that was very skilled in camouflage."
Of course, after testing, this probability is extremely small, but the emergence of the Zerg is inherently highly uncertain.
Wei Cui cannot completely rule out such suspicion.
"yes."
Everyone in the lab quickly took action.
“Should we then arrange the research according to the plan we planned before?”
"It's all part of the plan, don't ignore it."
Wei Cui spoke quickly.
Looking at the phoenix egg shaking uncomfortably in the nutrient solution, he moved his fingers and only then felt his fingers slowly recovering from their stiff state.
"Go do your own thing."
Feather Clan cub?
Wei Cui lowered his eyes and thought to himself.
The first reaction was whether there was some conspiracy, and whether there was someone behind the scenes planning all this.
But for a moment I couldn’t understand the meaning of doing this.
He could only look at his hand that had just touched the cub and prepare to check other relevant information first.
But the cubs seemed to be suffering from a lack of attention.
The originally soft crying sound suddenly became louder.
As if to attract his attention, the golden-red egg shook wildly—this isn’t a bad guy, this is a really bad guy, woooooooo!!
Wei Cui couldn't help but look over, so he walked over, stretched out his hand, and touched the top of the cub's eggshell with his gloved fingertips, stopping the shaking of the eggshell.
Wei Cui looked at the egg and seemed to think for a moment.
This person always looks gentle, but his actual temperament is even colder than his elder brother.
So just open your mouth.
"Just stay here for now. The nutrient solution here is high enough for your growth and development. Once everything checks out, I'll find you a responsible parent when we return to the solar system. Don't worry about anything else. I'm not particularly interested in cubs."
Feng Xi:?
What?
What is he talking about?
He actually held my balls and wouldn't let me move?
I'm so angry.
He is even worse than the big bad guy!
Don’t think Phoenix is easy to bully, woooo ...
Feng Xi curled up in the eggshell, trying hard to break free, and angrily wanted to hit his hand with the eggshell.
But he was easily controlled by Wei Cui.
The cub became even angrier, and while crying loudly and calling the bad guy indistinctly, it tried to attack through the eggshell with its recovered mental strength.
He clearly showed his characteristics - bad temper, spoiled, crybaby and fierce.
Bullying!
They are all bullies!
Xiao Fengxi was still upset about the two tests that this group of people had just done.
The little guy felt extremely uncomfortable because of the two tests. He had a slight stress reaction and looked even more ferocious.
"We've found the Star Network connection point. It seems to be a game. We're investigating further—"
"Director Wei, the people liaising with the research lab here have figured out something. The lights were flickering earlier because someone was remotely controlling the AI here, paying to irrigate the nutrient solution..."
Wei Cui just withdrew his hand and was about to turn around after hearing this.
The little cub, which was freed in an instant, splashed a lot of nutrient solution.
It splashed all over his body.
Wei Cui, who had just said that he was not very interested in the cub, was silent for a moment, and seemed to glance at the angry little phoenix egg implicitly.
"...Director Wei?"
The two people who entered spoke after a slight hesitation.
According to Wei Cui's usual research habits, he should not stay here for so long, and he is still with this unknown little feathered egg. Although he looks a little cold, his movements are gentle, and he himself seems not to realize that the movement and frequency of gently restraining and slightly shaking it seem to be a bit like coaxing a child.
After being splashed with nutrient solution, he suddenly became depressed, as if he felt that he had not done anything and was just hit hard.
But when Wei Cui looked over again, he was still calm.
The two people in charge of the report were silent for a moment.
Hmm... the feeling just now might be an illusion.
"Have you found out who the source is?"
Wei Cui raised his hand to wipe the nutrient solution off his face, then reached out and pulled down the protective shield to cover the little phoenix egg that was "turning the world upside down" inside.
"Yes—" The man hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to contact your family first?"
Wei Cui paused: "What do you mean?"
"Looking back, the trading party is from the Sun Star in the Solar System, and his surname is Wei."
Although the transaction information is not complete, there are not many people with the surname Wei in the solar system.
"Yes, I just checked," another person beside him said quickly. "The reason I felt familiar with it before was because I sorted through the relevant information. The one you didn't see was that in the development game that Wei Fu played, the character he drew was very similar to this Feather Clan egg at the beginning. The other party also gave birth to an unidentified Feather Clan cub."
"Perhaps because the cub is developing again and running low on nutrients, its mental power is subconsciously seeking help, connecting to the star network and accidentally entering this game?"
They speculated.
There are still many mysteries in all of this.
at the same time.
Wei Fu's residence in the solar galaxy was still lying in the virtual warehouse. The two people in the virtual battlefield home were full of tension.
Wei Fu and Wei Cheng's moods fluctuated greatly.
After a long period of losing money, the cub's health value barely maintained a delicate balance, until not long ago, when the health value began to slowly recover.
But the pretty little cub had already closed its eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, and no matter how they called it would not wake up.
Wei Fu's hands holding the cub had become more skillful, but at this moment they were shaking slightly uncontrollably.
His usually nonchalant face looked extremely cold.
He looked at the game AI who was already overwhelmed and huddled in the corner, his head full of "I don't know" words, and turned to look at Weicheng.
Weicheng has seen the relevant coordinates.
He was calmer than Wei Fu. After all, he had just seen the cub, and to some extent, the cub's safety was not a problem. It was just that it suddenly couldn't wake up.
There must be reasons for this, and these reasons must be hidden in the details——
Then he heard his rebellious brother say, "Brother, I won't raise him to death, will I?"
This time there is no count.
Wei Cheng pulled the corner of his lips.
"The anomaly coordinates are here."
He pushed the email over.
"What does this mean?"
Wei Cheng didn't know anything about virtual networks and games, so Wei Fu had to come in person.
Wei Fu carefully held the poor little cub who was fast asleep. The little guy had soft water red hair, a chubby face, tears about to fall from the corners of his eyes, and his little fists were clenched. He looked completely aggrieved, which made people feel distressed, especially since they both had seen fragments of memories of the little cub being mistreated. They were only tense on the surface, but in fact they couldn't accept it at all - he had already been given this kind of background, so he couldn't do this anymore, right?
"Abnormal online?"
Wei Fu also paused, and then he suddenly spoke.
"You also thought he didn't look like Data at all before, didn't you?"
The little guy seemed real.
But that's totally impossible.
How could there be cubs of the Feather Tribe left stranded outside?
Are they going to die? That’s what they thought at the time.
Weicheng raised his eyes.
Wei Fu frowned.
"He seems to have logged into the StarNet game from this place...?"
"This coordinate is——"
"Looks a little familiar... Weicui?"
Wei Cheng immediately realized that the research institute Wei Cui went to this time had a high degree of overlap with this location.
At the same time, a video call from Wei Cui was sent.
After the connection.
The guy who is always meticulous and has obsessive-compulsive disorder looks a little embarrassed.
The first thing Wei Cui saw was the little ball held in Wei Fu's arms.
Wei Fu and Wei Cheng also saw the golden-red phoenix egg from "Nezha Conquers the Dragon King" in the nutrient solution soaking pool behind him.
This picture is a bit weird.
But there was no time to talk in detail, and the next moment Wei Fu propped himself up.
"Where are you? I'll be there now."
"The coordinates have been sent to you."
Wei Cui thought for a moment and spoke.
"You're still not sure what's going on. Aren't you a little too impatient? Brother, what do you think..."
"The starship is ready, let's go."
Wei Cheng on the other side was silent for a moment, then spoke directly.
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of paying any attention to him and seemed to be ready to leave after making up their minds, Wei Cui fell silent for a moment.
It would have been fine if Wei Fu was not calm, but he didn't expect Wei Cheng to be in this state as well.
Like being confused?
The thought flashed through my mind.
Wei Cui frowned.
"I think you can wait there until I get back and calm down. You've got half a day. From what I know, you've only been with this cub, or this egg, for two days. To have you react like this, why don't you check everything yourself to see if there's anything wrong?"
"Don't worry about it. I have my own plans."
Weicheng has already exited the virtual network.
"I checked, it has nothing to do with him. I know the rest. See you later."
Wei Fu also withdrew immediately.
After the video call ends.
Wei Cui received news from Wei Fu.
It's about this cub.
It is said that this cub has a bad temper and is very crybaby. He is very timid and has weak abilities. Even the weakest monsters in the game can bully him. He cannot live without people and will look for people everywhere if he doesn't get attention.
Although I know that he is a little weak in emotional perception, I still want him to take good care of the cub's emotions.
Wei Cui turned his head and took a look at the little phoenix egg in the protective cover.
He couldn't break the eggshell yet, and was jumping up and down as if he was going to bite someone.
All around were the whimpering, baby-like sounds of little ones.
It can be seen that he has a bad temper and cries a lot, but he is also timid and easily bullied?
Is this Xiaoyu Tribe egg so fierce that it almost jumps up and smashes people? Are you sure?
Soon, Feng Xi was tired of jumping around and stayed in the eggshell, panting.
Tears still fell.
Why are you still crying?
Wei Cui felt a rare headache.
He opened the protective shield.
"Splash, splash, I won't hide anymore, can you be happy?"
He is too angry.
Wei Cui stretched out his hand.
This time he took off his gloves and touched the eggshell gently.
The little guy no longer has the energy to make trouble.
His soul power still needs to be nurtured.
And since I can't spit fire through the eggshell, I can only use the most primitive method to hit him.
At this moment, she was just humming and pushing his hand with the eggshell.
After pushing a few times, it finally whimpered and fell asleep. He seemed to be saying something, but it was completely inaudible through the eggshell and only his crying could be heard vaguely. At this moment, the little phoenix cub could not resist the sleepiness at all, and fell asleep with the phoenix egg still leaning against someone's hand.
Wei Cui lowered his eyes and looked at the big egg resting on his hand. It still took him a little effort to hold it up. He wanted to move it a little, but as soon as he moved, the bad-tempered little guy would whimper and cry again, rubbing against his palm.
A halo of warm eggshell.
Wei Cui froze again.
Until someone comes in again.
"Director Wei——"
"Keep quiet, I finally fell asleep without crying."
Wei Cui opened his mouth.
The people at the door looked as if they had seen a ghost, staring in amazement at Wei Cui who looked a little disheveled, but he stood beside the soaking pool, holding the golden-red egg with a protective look.
"Okay... Here are the following research items. Please see if there is anything else you would like to add."
"Let's put it aside for now."
If I continue to work on these projects, I guess it will be difficult to coax her.
"Do the most basic checks, re-adjust the nutrient solution, and find some soft material to wrap the surrounding area. Never mind, I'll come myself later..."
Wei Cui stated his needs one by one.
"Move me a stool. There's one more thing. Please reorganize the previous information and send it to me, along with the surveillance footage from the laboratory."
"OK."
The researcher spoke softly, but couldn't help himself.
"But didn't you just say—"
Didn’t you just say that it might be a conspiracy or something, and that we should continue to research and investigate?
These instructions, one by one, feel... different from what he said before? And bring a stool over? Are you planning on sitting here until we get back to Sun Star? Huh? Seriously?
"So, should we research a special nutrient solution that's good for him? And what about food after he hatches? And what about danger guides, and these projects—"
"Cancel it for now."
Wei Cui looked over and saw the other person's slightly strange expression. He was very calm, as always.
"Don't overthink it, it's all part of the plan."
Yes, it’s all part of the plan to make the cub feel more comfortable cooperating with the examination, and it has nothing to do with this cub.
