Chapter 84 Departure to the Wandering Star
After a night's rest, they gathered at the entrance of the teaching building early the next morning and went to find the mercenary team they had agreed to meet with.
The mercenary team didn't care much when they saw that the number of people on Liu Hang's side had decreased. It was actually equivalent to taking on an extra escort mission, and it would be easier with fewer people.
With Liu Hang around, they don’t have to take a public spaceship, they can directly take Liu Hang’s private spaceship.
The speed of a spacecraft is not as fast as that of an aircraft. The location of Wandering Star is already close to the border. Even if it does not stop in the middle, it will take two days and two nights.
There were berths in the spaceship, and Song Ke happened to be sitting opposite Qu Tong.
After the girl from the pharmacy department left, she and Song Ke became the only two women in the team, so they were naturally arranged together.
The first impression Song Ke gave her was that he was thoughtful, efficient, friendly and humble.
The two met twice in total, but they were not very familiar with each other. She guessed it was probably because of Xu An.
Brother Liang later complained to her in a sarcastic tone that Xu An only gave him one string of candied haws, but gave several strings to a girl named Song Ke.
After returning that day, she asked Fei Wenxing about Song Ke and Liu Hang.
Song Ke's father is the director of the research institute and his mother is also a senior executive.
The research institute is affiliated with the royal family, but is strongly suppressed by the Lan family's Pharmacists Guild.
In addition to nutritional and energy potions, the research institute has also invested a lot of money in trying to develop advanced mental potions, but unfortunately no significant results have been achieved.
Song Ke did not enter the pharmacy department like her parents, but chose the mecha individual soldier department.
However, Song Ke's sister, Song Nuan, entered the pharmacy department, but became very close to Lan Weiying.
The relationship between the two sisters does not seem to be good.
After Song Ke entered the Mecha Individual Soldier Department, his grades were also very good. Although his physical fitness level was only A, his theoretical scores in all subjects were consistently ranked first. If he had not missed the mid-term practical training for some reason, he would have had no problem entering the second year this year.
On the other hand, Song Nuan's physical fitness level is only B, but this year she was transferred to Class A, which only students with a physical fitness level of A or above can enter.
Song Ke took good care of Qu Tong throughout the whole process and told Qu Tong a lot of his experiences living in the wild and facing star beasts.
Qu Tong always listened quietly, and sometimes took the initiative to ask some small questions.
"Sister Qu Tong, you are nothing like the rumors." Song Ke stared at Qu Tong's peaceful face from a close distance and suddenly sighed.
Qu Tong fluttered her butterfly-like eyelashes and asked with a faint smile, "Oh? What about me in the rumors?"
Song Ke thought about the information Qu Wanwan had revealed intentionally or unintentionally and what he had heard online some time ago. He felt that it was not a good idea to say it in front of her, so he laughed and tried to smooth it over:
"Rumors are mostly unreliable. Sister Qu Tong is doing fine now."
After a while, Song Ke spoke again: "But now I'm very curious, is it really you who took the initiative to propose to marry His Highness Yu Ting in place of Qu Wanwan?"
She used to believe it. After all, newborns are rare nowadays and everyone pays attention to the fertility value. It is really a pity for Qu Wanwan, who has such a high fertility value, to marry His Highness Yu Ting, who has a fertility value of zero.
However, for Qu Tong, who has a fertility value of only 20 and a physical condition of F, marrying His Highness Yu Ting is a wise choice.
"Did Qu Wanwan tell you this?"
Song Ke: "I didn't say it, but I hinted at it."
Qu Tong lowered his head and sneered. Isn't this Qu Wanwan's usual trick?
Before Qu Tong could answer, Song Ke came up with the answer himself.
"Oh! Why am I asking you? I don't believe you did this voluntarily. I believe you."
Qu Tong shook his head: "No, I volunteered, but the Qu family only gave me this one choice."
Song Ke nodded: "That's what I said."
Then he comforted her, "However, His Highness Yu Ting is good in every way except his fertility value. No wonder you like him."
Song Ke obviously misunderstood the meaning of voluntary, and Qu Tong didn't need to explain.

Before getting off the spacecraft, Qu Tong gave each person a bottle of high-grade nutrient solution as agreed.
These were the two large boxes of cherry-flavored nutrient solution that Butler Chi prepared for Qu Tong.
There was one box left in the manor, and there was another box in her space.
At first, Qu Tong thought that a box of nutrient solution would contain 12 or 24 tubes, or at most 36 tubes.
I never expected that the box that Chi Guanjia stored contained 200 pens.
One bottle of high-quality nutrient solution can keep her from eating for seven days without strenuous exercise. 200 bottles are enough for her to drink for three or four years. Her family also left 200 bottles for her...
Alas~
Butler Chi is really down-to-earth in his work.
If you keep drinking the same flavor, you'll vomit if you don't.
However, going out on missions like this requires physical and mental energy, so the effectiveness of the nutrient solution won't last that long, but it will be enough for two or three days.
The mercenary team drank the intermediate nutrient solution they prepared, and Qu Tong only needed to be responsible for the seven or eight people led by Liu Hang.
The mercenaries came here to hunt star beasts and take their fur, horns and other parts to sell.
They have a map, but few people come to this kind of wandering planet, and the map only has a satellite topographic map, which does not mark the areas where star beasts often appear, so they don't have a clear purpose. They just go wherever they want and kill the star beasts they encounter.
So the decision on the route fell on Liu Hang.
Liu Hang opened the map and discussed countermeasures with several teammates, allowing everyone to put forward their own ideas.
Finally, there are Xu An and Qu Tong, who have the lowest physical fitness levels.
Qu Tong said that she had no suggestions and everything was fine.
Xu An took a look and pointed in a direction, saying, "The vegetation here is more lush and there are more plant species. It is more likely that we will find the herbs we need. There is a lake here. It is almost dusk when we get to the lake from here. We can rest here for a night and continue exploring south tomorrow."
Xu An's opinion was recognized by several other people and was decided to be adopted.
"Let's go. We'll take turns driving the mecha to lead the way. I'll go first." Liu Hang summoned his S-class mecha from the space button.
Qu Tong looked up at the red and black mecha, which was even more sophisticated and handsome than the one he drove in the virtual warehouse, and felt a little envious.
The mecha is expensive, so only Liu Hang, Song Ke and the mercenary captain have them. The others follow behind them to look for herbs.
Occasionally encountering a few star beasts, the mercenary team is enough to deal with them.
Soon the team found the mission herb, the double-winged two-path wood.
Qu Tong thought it was something else, but when he looked, it turned out to be a magical leaf.
Qu Tong was picking leaves while thinking about delicious food.
There are a lot of these herbs on this wandering planet.
Qu Tong took the opportunity to discuss with Liu Hang when he was changing shifts, asking him if he could give him the extra double-winged two-path wood after collecting the quantity required by the alchemy department?
Liu Hang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Why not? These leaves are contaminated, and we don't know how to use them. Only your pharmacists can take care of them. I'll give you all the extra ones."
Qu Tong thanked them, and in return, he pointed out several more medicinal herbs to the team on the way. Although they were not the herbs for the mission, they could be sold for money through other means.
When the mercenaries heard that they could sell them for money, they also started picking them.
