Chapter 26
On the way back to Jiaoyuan, everyone took a shower. After returning, Wan Di and Jiang Zouwei went to deal with the energy stones, Ying Zhao went to his own laboratory, and Yao Si continued to crawl into the haystack to do mysterious creations.
Ji Wenxue obediently lay down on the sofa in the first floor hall to rest. It was already bright outside, and the sunlight shone warmly through the window on her body, making her feel happy.
"Yao Si, I'm lying on the sofa in the sun now. I feel so comfortable!" Ji Wenxue said. The reason why she chose to rest downstairs instead of the bedroom upstairs was to find someone to talk to while she was resting.
The sound came from a pile of weeds.
"Don't show off by saying things like that while I'm working! I'm going to hate you."
"Hahahahahahahaha" Ji Wenxue laughed loudly upon hearing this, "I'm recuperating now, but speaking of which, haven't you finished that thing yet? It's been several days."
"I should have finished it yesterday, but I've been so busy these past few days. The time I can actually spend on my work is so limited. Otherwise, I could have shown you guys a long time ago." Yao Si sighed softly. The best feeling is when you can finish something you want to do in one go. Day after day, interrupted, and while I still have the passion, I'm gradually feeling exhausted.
It was precisely because of this change that Yao Si wanted to rush the work today and finish the product before her enthusiasm faded.
On the other side, Wan Di and Jiang Zouwei were processing the energy stones.
"It only needs simple processing and we will sell it in its original form." Wandi said.
Jiang Zouwei nodded to show that he understood. "But if we want to sell it, we have to go to the interstellar space, and we have nothing right now. Is there a black hole nearby that can be used for teleportation?"
In other words, they needed at least a spaceship. They didn't have the materials to build one, and even if they tried to buy one, they couldn't even get out of the outer layer of the sphere. Jiang Zouwei frowned at the difficult problem.
His brows were suddenly smoothed, and Jiang Zouwei looked up to see Wan Di smiling confidently, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for this."
Jiang Zouwei was no longer worried, but she became very curious.
What exactly was the arrangement that Wendy was talking about? It seemed to her that unless she was lucky enough to find a black hole, or even luckier enough to have a spaceship fall from the sky, she couldn't imagine any other solution.
"Where are you from?" He couldn't help asking. Jiang Zouwei stopped his work and waited quietly for the answer.
Eveny put down what he was holding for a moment and pointed upwards with his index finger, "To the sky."
The sky? Jiang Zouwei looked up at the gesture. Cotton-like white clouds floated in the clear blue sky. The dreamy colors made Jiang Zouwei confused for a moment. Was Wandi joking or was this the truth?
Ying Zhao stayed in the lab by herself. In addition to the previous records, she also filled in the most recent ones. She marked some data that still needed to be tested with sophisticated instruments for more accurate results.
She only knew that the Energy Stone was valuable, but she had no idea of its specific value, nor did she know if she could afford all the equipment on the list. However, to be on the safe side, she still checked off a few of the more important ones. With her tight finances, having that much was a plus.
In addition to her research, Ying Zhao also knew that Wan Di had plans in other areas. She wanted to improve everyone's quality of life and let everyone live happily and freely. They still needed a lot of money and had a long way to go.
While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a dripping sound outside the house. Ying Zhao leaned out of the window and saw that it was drizzling outside.
The people outside the room stood up and rushed inside at once, their footsteps, some fast, some slow, echoing together. After a moment's thought, Ying Zhao placed his pen on the table, opened the door, and walked out of the laboratory.
Wan Di and Jiang Zouwei also ran back in the rain. It was very warm inside their tree house. Ji Wenxue hurried over to hand them towels.
"Sister Wandi, Sister Zouwei, where did you go to process the energy stones? Was it far? Did you get caught in the rain when you came back?"
"It's not far. Since the weather isn't good, we'll just call it a day and come back." Wandi replied. Ying Zhao happened to walk in. Wandi saw that everyone was there and asked them to sit together. "Since everyone has come, let's come over and discuss this."
What to discuss?
Everyone looked at Wandi eagerly.
"Everyone get ready, we'll have a guest soon with a spaceship..."
Wandi's words were shocking. Everyone listened and understood their mission, but they were still confused.
"Hey, Wenxue, did you understand? Why didn't I quite understand it? I wasn't distracted. Am I too stupid?" Yao Si scratched his head and pushed Ji Wenxue next to him with his arm.
Although he could ask Wan Di directly, the problem was that he really didn't understand much, and even if he wanted to ask questions, Yao Si didn't know how to ask them.
"Uh..." Ji Wenxue turned to look at Yao Si in silence, then shook her head honestly after a moment. "But I know anyway. I'll just sit there and watch and then sleep. It's a piece of cake. I'm sure I can handle it. But..." Thinking of Yao Si's mission, Ji Wenxue spoke uncertainly, "You might have to do it soon. Are you okay with that?"
"Of course you can!" Yao Si immediately straightened her chest and raised her head. She had long wanted to do something like this that a heroic woman should do. Women should hold knives!
"And didn't Wandi just say that she would help me with some emergency training? I'm so excited! Have you ever been to a special training session before?"
"Special training?" Ji Wenxue said, her eyes gradually losing focus as she looked into the distance, with an expression as if she was about to recall something from her previous life.
Before Ji Wenxue could recall what was going on, she heard Wan Di waving at her from the other side.
"Yao Si, come here."
Yao Si immediately ran over like a little cheetah, "Where are we going to practice?"
"Come to my room," Wendy said as she slowly walked up the stairs. This was actually the first time she had walked up the stairs to her room since their tree house was repaired.
Yao Si followed behind eagerly, like a little bird waiting to spread its wings and soar, her heart swelling with excitement. She felt she had some talent, but it was a pity no one had appreciated her until now, leaving her treasure in the dust. Now, with the guidance of a master, she was sure she would soar!
"I've observed that you have excellent lower body strength and great potential, and your core is also good. If you keep working hard, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. However, this mission is urgent, so I will teach you a few offensive moves first, and we can talk about other things later."
Yao Si simply nodded, like a chick pecking at rice. Even Wan Di praised her, so it seemed she really was talented. A sense of elation welled up in her. Besides, she was so considerate, so she'd accept anything Wan Di arranged.
"I'll demonstrate it first, and then you follow."
"good!"
Yao Si was indeed a very bright and promising young talent. He was learning the moves with such gusto that Wan Di was pleasantly surprised. She went over and held Yao Si's shoulders. "Relax your shoulders a little. As your legs sweep forward, your hands can also swing out. Use your palms to generate power, not your fingers," Wan Di said, squeezing Yao Si's palms for emphasis.
"When squatting, make sure your legs are shoulder-width apart, your back is straight, and when you stand up, imagine yourself as a spring ready to spring."
As Yao Si listened, he recalled Wan Di's actions just now. It was just an ordinary movement, but it was done very standardly and smoothly. It looked explosive and effortless.
With Wandi's help, Yao Si adjusted her movements. A seemingly insignificant detail, after Wandi's adjustments, suddenly made her entire set of movements more powerful and easier.
The fingers that landed on her body and the sharp words were like the fluttering wings of a forest butterfly, light and gentle, but causing a hurricane and huge waves in her heart.
"Very good, that's all for today. Go downstairs and get ready." Wandi sat on the chair and announced the end of today's special training.
Yao Si nodded. "Thank you, sister. I'll be going down first!" As she walked out the door, she noticed the rain had stopped. The breeze after the rain still had a hint of coolness, but after just exercising, she felt her whole body burning hot, and the breeze felt very comfortable on her.
At night, Ji Wenxue and Ying Zhao sat facing each other, with the energy stone between them. After a simple treatment, the energy stone looked very dazzling, and seemed to emit a soft light in the room.
Their mission was to watch the Energy Stone and then counter the enemy's plan. They handled this task with ease, waiting quietly as the unexpected event unfolded.
A dazzling blue light flashed outside the door, and a pile of drugs containing drugs that could make people lose consciousness sprayed out.
Ji Wenxue fainted due to the effect of the drug. From the way they were acting and the sound of the spaceship, she recognized that these uninvited guests were the notorious interstellar pirates.
"Wow, I didn't expect there are energy stones here! I thought our machine was broken last time."
"Why are you talking so much? Come and get to work."
"Do you have to smoke that damn cigarette now? It's choking!"
"Leave me alone! If it weren't for me, would you have found this place? You'll come and clean up the mess later. If you're not quick, stay here by yourself."
"Heh, it's bad luck to run into you. What are you arguing about? Don't you know what the important matter is?"
"Don't worry, Boss. Haven't everyone here been knocked unconscious by us? This is a good product that we spent a lot of money on. Even a Space Marine can sleep for four hours after taking a few puffs, let alone ordinary people."
Wandi, who was hiding in the dark, looked down expressionlessly, counted the number of people calmly, and then jumped down without hesitation to knock one person down and snatched the person's lightsaber.
"action!"
At the command, Jiang Zouwei and Yao Si suddenly appeared from other places and quickly joined the battle.
Just a few interstellar pirates could easily clean it up. Wendy entered the ship to inspect its value. Although the interstellar pirates were despicable, the remaining ships were still useful. Wendy smiled with satisfaction.
"Leave no one alive. Remember to check for last hits when you go micro."
