After returning from the competition, Lin Yiran immediately picked up the package she had ordered online and started unpacking it. Senran walked over at this moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that Lin Yiran was carrying a bunch of newly released fully automatic pistols from Interstellar, he asked her another question.
Lin Yiran replied, "Oh, the competition is over, and the shop is about to open. I went to inquire the day before yesterday, and there are no mercenaries in the First Galaxy, so I can't find any food suppliers."
"Moreover, the shops in the Eighth and Ninth Star Systems have been doing very well lately. The person who supplied me with ingredients said that the next batch of goods wouldn't arrive for at least three or four days, so I was thinking of going to the Forest of Hope to find some ingredients myself to tide me over for the next few days, so as not to delay business..."
"Look, my Star Brain's private messages are practically exploding! So many people want to eat those foods as soon as possible, and there are even people queuing up in front of the shop I just chose. My goodness, this is really putting a lot of pressure on me. I have to hurry!"
Although Lin Yiran's tone was complaining when she said this, Senran could tell that she was very happy.
I was filled with joy while packing my things.
Her hands moved swiftly, storing the newly purchased weapons and various types of bombs into her Star Brain. The journey to the Forest of Hope was long and dangerous; she needed to be prepared.
Senran: "You're going alone?"
Lin Yiran nodded: "Yes, you can go by yourself. You can take the flying car; there are flights along the same route."
Senran leaned down to look at Lin Yiran: "This isn't a problem with the flight, but are you really going to go alone? Is it dangerous? Or I can hire a few people for you to take with you, in case something goes wrong..."
Lin Yiran directly rejected his offer: "What problems could possibly arise? Oh, don't worry, I'm all alone with so many weapons, I'll be perfectly fine. No need to hire bodyguards, I go to that place often, I'm not that fragile."
Senran: Why can't this guy understand?
"It's not a matter of whether you're fragile or not. It's that it's really dangerous in there. If something happens to you, send us a message. We won't be able to get there in time to save you, you understand?" He consciously ignored the fact that Lin could still fight against level 10 mutated plants in the training ground, even though that strength was equivalent to an entire company.
Lin Yiran laughed, thinking he was being overly nervous. It was understandable; the other party didn't know her strength, so being nervous was normal… perhaps? Nevertheless, she reassured him, “You don't need to be so nervous. Don't worry, I'm very strong; those mutated plants can't do anything to me.”
Seeing that reasoning with him was ineffective, Senran simply drove his wheelchair into the yard and summoned his flying car: "I'll go with you."
Lin Yiran was still busy packing her weapons: three complete sets of large-leaf throwing knives, the very sharp kind, which could also block the corrosive sap of certain plants.
A light touch left a cut on my hand.
She casually took out some hemostatic medicine and sprayed it on.
After a couple of seconds, the wound on his hand disappeared. "StarCraft products are really useful," Lin Yiran had to say.
When they finished packing and went outside, they found Senran's flying car already parked outside.
Lin Yiran leaned against the car window and said, "I said I don't need it..."
Sen Ran: "Get in the car quickly..." He had already changed into his combat uniform and was now sitting in the passenger seat, turning to look at Lin Yiran. His previous buzz cut had grown long and reached around his eyes because he hadn't had a haircut. The wispy hair made him look different from before, with a touch of wickedness. He wasn't so serious anymore.
Lin Yiran didn't go, but continued, "Your leg isn't fully healed yet, you won't be able to help me, what would you do there?"
To be honest, taking someone who is being watched closely by mutated plants is like taking a bomb with a countdown timer. Lin Yiran is confident she can come back alone, but taking a bomb with her is a different story.
She wasn't exaggerating; that's just the truth.
Sen Ran thought about it and agreed, so he could only say helplessly, "I can stay outside the Forest of Hope without going in. If there's any emergency, just tell me and I'll send someone in to rescue you. Is that alright?"
The suggestion was good, but Lin Yiran still didn't want to take him along.
While she was hesitating, an iron claw extended from above the airplane door, hooked her clothes, and pulled her up. Lin Yiran was startled, but in the end, she obediently gave in.
To be honest, Senran was just concerned about her.
But...
Lin Yiran always felt that this kind of concern was a little strange.
Furthermore, their relationship is quite complicated...
It's not complicated, but Lin Yiran doesn't know how to describe their relationship. As a brother? No, that's not right. Lin Yiran doesn't consider him her brother. She's never had a brother before. So?
To be friends?
Lin Yiran thought about it and felt that it still wasn't right.
She was truly friends with people like Murong Zaiye and Jin Shuo. They ate together, drank together, chatted together, and even evaded the pursuit of space pirates together. The process was thrilling, and the three of them were practically brothers in arms.
Lin Yiran trusted them a lot.
But...
Forest Flame?
She shook her head, still feeling a bit uneasy about trusting him, even though he had once been willing to sacrifice his own life to pull her out of the fire.
Lin Yiran thought it was probably because the other person was too close to her, and felt like she was being watched.
Then she picked up a pecan, cracked it open and ate it, filling the entire flying car with the aroma of pecans.
Senran turned on the air purification system.
He asked, "What is that?" Then he noticed that Lin Yiran's expression was a little off, as if she was thinking about something.
This annoyed Senran.
Recently, Senran has been trying to take his relationship with Lin Yiran a step further, at least to gain her trust.
But for some reason, Lin Yiran always avoided him like the plague; he could never replace Jin Shuo and that boy from the Murong family in her heart.
He originally intended to be her friend.
However, the two have incompatible personalities and are unlikely to become friends.
Knowing the truth infuriated Senran. He couldn't gain her trust, which meant he would never know her secret, and the Federation's development would stagnate. That was what annoyed him the most.
He even considered whether he should directly reveal his identity to Lin Yiran and establish a cooperative relationship with her to promote the development of interstellar technology and medical industry.
But he felt that Lin Yiran wouldn't tell.
