Chapter 264
Chu Xiu didn't sleep well.
At first the pain was always with him.
I felt better later, but the pain relief always felt so fleeting. I tried to wake up, but I couldn't muster the strength. I was so groggy I didn't know how long I'd slept.
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the gray-brown ceiling of the room.
He could still feel the pain. His entire left arm from his left shoulder down was numb and sore, and he would occasionally feel a pricking sensation at the acupoint.
But compared to before, it's much better.
Lying in the soft quilt, Chu Xiu's brain worked a little slowly. He remembered that he fainted after the treatment.
Now that I can lie in bed, I know who did it.
He lay on his side, slightly raised his left hand and tried to drive the star power to flow.
Although the change was slight, he could feel that it was much smoother than at the beginning.
Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. The treatment was effective, which was the best news for him.
Even if I don't have star power and can't use mental power, I can still help, but there are limits to what I can do.
He silently stopped running the star power.
He still remembered that His Majesty had said that it would be best not to use star power during his treatment, otherwise it might cause worse consequences than it did now.
It was only after moving around a few times in the quilt that Chu Xiu realized he seemed to be naked.
He just wrapped the clothes around himself roughly, and the clothes got bunched up in the quilt due to his frantic movement.
He fumbled and put on his clothes under the quilt.
It was the shirt he had put on after taking a shower. He had taken it off and placed it next to the medical cabin. That was probably why it appeared in the quilt with him.
He sat up, buttoned his shirt, and raised his hand to push his hair out from the back of his neck.
Chu Xiu looked around and found that he was the only one in the room. The lid of the medical cabin was closed and the surroundings were tidy.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Chu Xiu looked over and met Qi Heng's gaze as he walked in from outside.
"Wake up, how do you feel?"
Qi Heng saw Chu Xiu sitting on the bed, looking like he was still asleep. He walked over and placed the cup of water in front of him.
"Have some water."
"Thank you." Chu Xiu took the cup and felt the warmth of the water passing through the cup wall.
"I feel my body is not as heavy as before, it feels much lighter."
Chu Xiu took a sip of water to relieve the dry mouth he felt after waking up.
"It's only the first treatment, and the effect is so obvious?" Why was Qi Heng a little unconvinced?
He focused his mental power on Chu Xiu, and his mental power captured the mental power emitted by Chu Xiuyi... There was no change from before.
Qi Heng's movements were very fast. The release and retraction of his mental power took only a split second. It was so fast that Chu Xiu just noticed that he had retracted it.
"The flow of star power has become much smoother."
Chu Xiu spoke to Qi Heng calmly, and no one could tell that he was actually enduring the pain while chatting with Qi Heng.
"You slept a long time."
"The treatment consumed a lot of your energy. Although the repair fluid in the medical cabin will replenish some of it, I think you should be hungry now."
Qi Heng took out a few nutritional supplements from his pocket and said, "My cooking is not delicious, so I have to let you eat this."
Asking the sick and weak Chu Xiu to take nutritional supplements made his conscience, which was asleep most of the time, ache slightly at this moment.
Chu Xiu didn't think there was a problem. "I think nutritional supplements are good. They can quickly replenish the lost energy."
"Nutrients replenished faster than normal eating."
In addition to being concentrated emergency foods rich in nutrients needed by the body, nutritional supplements themselves also have high energy properties. Some military nutritional supplements can be further purified to become energy bars.
Qi Heng was not so crazy, so when he asked A0 to recommend nutritional supplements, he decisively rejected A0's suggestion to buy energy bars for him.
There are all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen. Once Chu Xiu recovers and can cook by himself, he won’t have to take these nutritional supplements.
Sick people need to eat good food. This is natural for Qi Heng, who grew up in a country where food is the most important thing for people. So even if Chu Xiu refuses later, he will not agree.
Chu Xiu silently finished two nutritional supplements and found that everything seemed too quiet from the moment he woke up until now.
"Where's Xizi?"
At this time, he finally remembered that something was missing. He had never seen a certain insect cub that was usually very noisy.
"At this time, he's probably playing a game of chess with a ghost."
"He doesn't know you're awake yet. He said he'd come see you after he finished playing games. He should be here soon."
Qi Heng finished speaking, noticing Chu Xiu's still not in good spirits, "If you're tired, just continue to rest. I'll be there for Xizi."
"Just let him sleep with me tonight."
Chu Xiu: "I'm fine. I feel much better after a good sleep."
"And I still have work to do."
He raised his hand and placed it on Chu Xiu's shoulder, pushing the workaholic female insect down on the bed, and said, "...Don't think about other things while you're resting. This period of time is your sick leave."
Originally.
There is no urgent matter that requires him to go to work while sick, so he might as well have a good rest for a few days.
Faced with Chu Xiu's expression of wanting to refuse, Qi Heng didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Winter is almost over, and that's when it will be the busiest. If you don't get enough rest, who will help me then?"
Chu Xiu, who was pressed on the bed and didn't want to struggle but couldn't break free, tilted his head slightly and looked at him with a pair of clear eyes.
Qi Heng didn't dodge and just stared at Chu Xiu.
A moment later, Chu Xiu was defeated.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and have a good rest these few days."
Your Majesty is right. The busiest time is after the harsh winter, and I cannot slack off at that time.
"Very good, very good."
When Qi Heng withdrew his hand, he patted Chu Xiu's head lightly. After he was done, he remembered that the person in front of him was Chu Xiu, not Qi Xi.
It’s all because I’m used to coaxing the little bugs.
He said calmly, "Have a good rest. I will take care of Qi Xi. Don't worry."
"Not only are you on sick leave these days, I'm on vacation too."
Apart from providing mental treatment to Chu Xiu, he had nowhere else to go and nothing else to do.
What, those things that can be handled remotely?
Of course that doesn’t count.
So, I was just on vacation, and it wasn't a lie when I told Chu Xiu that.
…
Qi Xi, who was playing chess with Ghost on a light computer in his father's room, was racking his brains to beat Ghost.
In response to this, A0, who was playing with the bug cub, said, "It's really naive to want to beat the AI." It's faster to dream than to succeed.
However, in order not to undermine the self-confidence of Qi Xi, the insect cub, A0 deliberately adjusted his intelligence level to the same age as Qi Xi.
However, even so, for Qi Xi, it was still cheating.
Therefore, A0 would occasionally let Qi Xi win one or two games and praise him for his progress.
There has indeed been progress.
As a bug cub that just crawled out of an egg and whose physical fitness is only that of a five-year-old, Qi Xi learns and progresses very quickly every time.
Qi Heng had never taught a child, and Chu Xiu knew nothing about it. In addition, the Tianjia Zerg's education of their young was very advanced, so Qi Xi, who was raised by A0, was currently being "forced to grow up."
Five years old, but because he has a lot of free time and learns things so quickly.
This made Qi Xi's progress faster than the female insects who were receiving literacy education in Gathering Area No. 2. His knowledge reserves far exceeded what he should have at his age.
Pushing open the door of his room, Qi Heng yawned.
I took a nap on the sofa for an hour in the afternoon, but I didn't fully recover. Later, I received a message from Deep Blue.
During the few hours he went to see Chu Xiu, he was downstairs checking messages and replying to them, and he never had a moment of rest.
There was no other way. The information sent back by Shenlan was very important, and he also had something to assign to Shenlan, so he helped Shenlan add a few more tasks to be completed.
After finishing the task of Deep Blue, A0 brought another good news.
The second batch of supplies that set out after Ji Lin and his team will arrive at the Tianyun Galaxy in three days at the earliest and five days at the latest according to time calculations.
Since the second batch of supplies was mentioned, he contacted Lu Ze and asked about the subsequent transportation of supplies.
Lu Ze did not disappoint his expectations.
The third and fourth batches of supplies have already departed, and the fifth, sixth and seventh batches are also being prepared. The exploration ships, mining ships, etc. that he needs will arrive with the fourth batch of supplies.
Starting from the fifth batch, the amount of materials transported will double that of the previous four batches, and 90% of the materials will be used to support the construction of Tianyunxing infrastructure projects.
On Tianyun Star, the total number of all the Tianjia Zerg is only more than 4 million, and the majority of daily necessities are in the first four batches of supplies.
Considering that the Ikar civilization does not know that Tianyun Star has long been out of their control, they still deliver supplies regularly.
Therefore, even after the adjustment, subsequent transportation will focus on materials needed for infrastructure projects, and they do not have to worry about shortages of basic necessities.
This part was finalized after Qi Heng communicated directly with Lu Ze, without going through Ji Lin, Lan Yi and others.
It’s not that we deliberately skipped them, but as long as the communication problem is not solved, there will be no way for Tianyun Star and Xihuan Star Belt to communicate in real time and accurately.
When Ji Lin returned to the Western Ring Star Belt, Lu Ze would naturally tell him what had happened. And when Lan Yi arrived and needed to receive the second batch of supplies, he would also know what had happened next.
"How was the game? Did you win?" Qi Heng walked to Qi Xi and looked at the chessboard.
It is said that this is a chess game handed down from the ancient Tianjia civilization.
He was very surprised when he saw it for the first time. After all, he had never thought that in the civilization where he grew up, there would be a chess game similar to ancient Go.
Later, after A0's explanation, he knew that this thing was invented by the Lord.
Qi Heng was speechless. He didn't want to know what motivation the "Master" had when he created Go... Maybe it was like those familiar naming styles, and he was missing something.
"I won the last round, and I can win this one too."
Qi Xi moved his butt to make room for him and pointed at the projected screen.
"Father Xiong, please come and help me, where should I place my next move?"
Qi Heng looked at the chessboard, tapped Qi Xi's forehead, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you would win? Why are you asking me for help? This is cheating."
