Shi Xi had no objection to Pei Muban's request.
Shi Xi thought to herself.
Judging from Pei Muban's words just now, he must have developed feelings for Chi Zaiqing.
Seeing the expression on Pei Mu's face, Shi Xi knew he was worried that Chi Yan'an would attack him, so she nodded, "Yes, boss."
Pei Mu glanced at Shi Xi with a hint of surprise.
It's rare to see this kid so obedient.
He was still a little unaccustomed to it at first.
After explaining these things, Pei Mu stopped at his room door and said to Shi Xi, "Don't run around later."
"I'll give you a ride home since it's on my way."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi paused, turned around, and smiled at Pei Mu. "Boss, you're such a good person."
"See you later."
He continued walking forward toward his room.
...
As soon as Shi Xi reached the door of the room, she saw Chu Yao standing guard by the door like a door god.
"...?" What is he doing here?
The red-haired Alpha, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, wearing black leather gloves and carrying a plastic bag, said, "Here, this is your lunch."
"...Did you bring this especially for me?" Shi Xi asked in surprise.
In the original story, Chu Yao's attitude towards him was always lukewarm, and after learning that he was just a bodyguard hired by Chi Zaiqing, he almost ignored him completely.
Chu Yao clicked his tongue impatiently, hung the plastic bag on the doorknob, and said, "Eat it or don't, if you don't want it, just throw it away."
Then Shi Xi saw Alpha standing there, arms crossed, squinting his golden eyes and looking at him with displeasure.
"..." This Alpha is still as hypocritical as ever.
Shi Xi walked to the door, picked up the plastic bag, and said to Chu Yao, "I'll eat later."
"Whatever." Chu Yao said, his tone noticeably more relaxed.
Seeing that Shi Xi was about to go in by pressing down the doorknob, Chu Yao spoke again.
"Oh, right." As if he had thought of something unintentionally, Chu Yao glanced at Shi Xi.
He casually remarked, "We don't have many sniper rifle shells left. If you need to buy more when you run out, you can go to the Chu family and mention my name."
At this point, Chu Yao paused noticeably, "If I happen to have some free time, I can also take you to see the armory; there are many other guns inside..."
"..." Shi Xi looked at Chu Yao with a troubled expression, "I don't have money, I can't afford it."
If it were any other mercenary, upon hearing Chu Yao say this, they would probably be eager to follow him to the Chu family right now.
Shi Xi, however, remained calm and composed, and could only say...
Poverty makes people calm.
Besides, even if he had money, he wouldn't use it to buy a gun. He's a dying man, what use would a young girl like Gao Tingyu have for a gun?
Seemingly surprised by Shi Xi's words, Chu Yao paused for a moment, then instinctively said, "It's okay, I have money."
Shi Xi: "...?" What does your money have to do with me?
Perhaps the question in Shi Xi's eyes was too obvious, Chu Yao also felt that his words were somewhat inappropriate. He glanced at Shi Xi and said, "Give me your name, and I'll give you an insider price, 90% off."
What kind of internal price is this? This is a huge discount!
Shi Xi couldn't help but start to doubt herself.
—Did he save Chu Yao's life?
Even if Chu Yao is the second young master of the Chu family, giving him a 90% discount is absurd. This is a military supply worth hundreds of thousands, not child's play.
Moreover, his relationship with Chu Yao was not deep.
"No need." Thinking this, Shi Xi said directly, "I won't need a gun in the future."
After completing his last mission, he prepared to resign from Pei Muban's position, as he really didn't have much opportunity to handle a gun.
"Why don't we need it?" Chu Yao looked puzzled. After spending the past few days together, he could tell that Shi Xi liked this kind of firearm.
Remembering what Shi Xi had just said, he added, "If you think a 90% discount is still too expensive, we can offer an even better price."
"This isn't appropriate." What's the difference between this and giving it away for free?
"Why is it inappropriate?"
"...You little rascal...you've got a problem."
Shi Xi narrowed her violet eyes, somewhat puzzled as to what Chu Yao was really up to.
—Should we learn from him and do a trial program or something else?
Even if Chu Yao wanted to sell weapons to mercenary organizations, he should have gone to Pei Muban; going to him wouldn't have been very effective.
He can't make decisions for Pei Muban anyway, so why bother arguing with him here?
...
Just then, Sheng Yingpu walked over, his breathing still a little rapid.
His gaze skipped over Chu Yao and landed on Shi Xi. "What are you doing standing here?"
With war between the Empire and the Zerg imminent, it is crucial to have adequate preparations for weapons, equipment, and medical resources, which is of paramount importance. Therefore, he had just informed the Sheng family.
As for the Chu family, they probably know the news by now.
Knowing he was about to head to the front lines and didn't know when he would be able to return, Sheng Yingpu rushed over.
As soon as he finished speaking, the aircraft carrier suddenly swayed very slightly, indicating that it had landed.
"We're discussing business," Shi Xi said to Sheng Yingpu.
Shi Xi then looked at Chu Yao, "Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't intend to."
After saying that, Shi Xi opened the door, entered the room, took all her belongings, and then closed the door.
When he came out, Chu Yao had already left, and only Sheng Yingpu, an Alpha, remained at the door.
"I'm leaving, my friend." Shi Xi waved to Sheng Yingpu, teasingly.
Upon hearing this unexpectedly, Sheng Yingpu was stunned for a moment, then his emerald green eyes instinctively turned to Shi Xi.
His gaze was somewhat urgent, as if he were searching for something that could calm him down.
Just then, Shi Xi slung the gun over her shoulder, and the sudden movement caused a gap to appear in the previously closed pocket of her coat.
A splash of turquoise caught the eye of the person searching within the same color scheme.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Yingpu subtly curled the corners of his lips.
He gestured to Shi Xi and said, "I'll take you."
Shi Xi had one hand in her pocket and a gun on her shoulder with a plastic bag hanging from the muzzle. Hearing this, she looked up at Sheng Yingpu and nodded.
In the original storyline, Sheng Yingpu wanted to give Chi Zaiqing a bright green jade bracelet before their parting.
The Chi family is a family of mecha makers, and the mecha they create are extremely powerful, but their prices are also incredibly high.
Jiang Yichen's mecha was destroyed when it crashed into the desolate planet. At this time, he was discussing the customization of a new mecha with Chi Yan'an.
In the original storyline, Chi Zaiqing, who was a mecha pilot, stayed by Chi Yan'an's side after learning about this, so he was not in the room at the moment.
Due to this unexpected turn of events, Sheng Yingpu came up empty-handed.
Therefore, Shi Xi simply assumed that Sheng Yingpu had just finished the predetermined plot and was just seeing her off.
After Shi Xi nodded, he turned around and was about to go find Pei Muban when he bumped into the Alpha who had come to find him.
