Chapter 13
Although he had teamed up with others several times, Jiang Xiangyang never thought that teaming up with others could be so...easy.
With the loss of energy, the Yingcai crystal connected to the collector interface has turned into a bleak transparency. Seeing this, Jiang Xiangyang stopped and just put the interface back to its original position, when he suddenly heard the sound of wind next to his ear, and a black shadow rushed towards his head.
"Yangyang Xiao——"
"ah!"
The two voices took only a second to replace each other, and then Jiang Xiangyang was knocked to the ground by the unidentified object. He was startled and quickly lifted up the attacker, luckily avoiding the misfortune of having his face covered with saliva.
The attacker's skin was a not-so-bright indigo blue, with hot air gushing from his nose. His big red tongue twitched outwards, and his twisted and weird claws were kicking weakly. His big, shining eyes looked at him blankly and innocently, demonstrating a kind of abnormal cuteness to Jiang Xiangyang with his own actions.
However, Jiang Xiangyang, who has a normal aesthetic sense, said that although he was a little stunned, he could not get the cuteness of the other party at all. Seeing its claws flapping and trying to drill into his body, he held his forehead and sighed, looked around, and placed the "attacker" on a higher crystal - because it was not convenient, Jiang Xiangyang did not try to collect it.
The delicious food was right in front of him, and the 'attacker's' eyes lit up. He decisively gave up pursuing his old love and took a sip of his new love. His sticky saliva dripped down the surface of the crystal, forming a dazzling silver line in front of Jiang Xiangyang's eyes.
Jiang Xiangyang: “…”
Climbing weakly into the cab, Jiang Xiangyang slumped back into his seat, his face raised in doubt. The small ball huddled nearby pulled up information to prove his innocence: "Crystal-eating beast. Small, strange-looking, non-aggressive. Feeds on crystals. Harmless to humans."
He had already crammed this information last night, otherwise he wouldn't have made direct contact just now. Jiang Xiangyang waved his hand: "Officer G, please state whether the other party is a species we have not encountered yet."
The little ball answered obediently: "Yes, I have never come into contact with it."
Jiang Xiangyang tilted his head, his eyes narrowed with a sly glint, and he hummed weakly, "You allowed a still-living unknown species to come into close contact with your protected being, and inaction, thus indirectly causing severe psychological trauma to that person. Is this dereliction of duty on your part?"
The little ball followed suit and said, "Yes, this is my fault. Please allow me to help bring the energy to the protected partner to comfort his fragile heart."
Jiang Xiangyang grinned, hugged the little ball and gave it a hard kiss on the forehead. Then he put his heels together, raised his palms together, saluted while lying down, and said sincerely: "Then I'll leave it to you, Comrade Xiao G."
Little G's face was serious, and his alloy ears clashed together, making a crisp sound. "I guarantee that I'll complete the mission!"
Several monitoring examiners far away on the starship stared at this scene, with countless black lines of disgust on their foreheads.
He staggered the collector out of the cab. The oxygen outside was very thin, almost non-existent. The little ball quickly closed the door and staggered towards the inky black mecha next to it.
The cave was spacious, with crystals scattered throughout the wall, emitting a subtle glow.
Around the two mechas, there were scattered corpses of more than a dozen monsters that had been blown into pieces. Without exception, none of them could get within twenty meters of the two men. Even at the moment of launching an active attack, they were turned into nothing by Shang Yi's laser beam.
His partner's strength was so strong that it seemed as if there was no specific upper limit. Jiang Xiangyang finally broke free from the whirlpool of admiration and amazement, and belatedly felt a great deal of pressure.
If the professor was right in front of him, Jiang Xiangyang would probably immediately lose his face and rush over to hug the other's thighs, saying that the young and pitiful flower of the motherland could not accept such destruction and only wanted to shrink under the other's rain and dew to continue to be watered by love.
However, thinking about the professor's character of always keeping his word, doing so would probably result in him being kicked away by the other party in a noble and cold manner.
Jiang Xianyu Xiangyang opened the communication channel with a dejected look on his face, and just in time he heard the other party ask him, "Are you the owner of this?"
There was a slight crackling sound in the communication channel, and the man's voice was not very coherent, as if the signal was affected by the magnetic field. Jiang Xiangyang knocked on the signal device but failed to make it return to normal.
He scratched his head in confusion, and through the two mecha barriers, he saw the small ball rubbing against the man's palm, asking for rubbing and caressing.
Jiang Xiangyang: “…”
Little G replied, his voice subtly formulaic: "Yangyang is now the sole owner of ——."
The disconnection was obscured by the harsh sound of electricity. Jiang Xiangyang couldn't understand what was going on and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man rubbed the small ball's forehead with the tip of his thumb. "Nothing. I'm just curious about its maker."
Jiang Xiangyang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know who made Little G. It's a good friend my parents left to me."
Shang Yi glanced at Jiang Xiangyang, his expression showing very little emotion. He let go of the small ball and took the collector with one hand: "Thank you."
Jiang Xiangyang waved his hand: "No, thank you for helping me to keep an eye on it."
The little ball returned to Jiang Xiangyang's side without showing any abnormality. Jiang Xiangyang frowned and suppressed the slight strangeness he had just felt.
The man looked calm and didn't seem to make any movements. A mechanical nerve line stretched out from under the operating table and gradually wrapped around the collector in his hand. Then, under Jiang Xiangyang's gaze, the mechanical line pierced directly into the collector at lightning speed.
The normal connection port is forty centimeters above the point where it is inserted.
Jiang Xiangyang: “…”
The man replied calmly: "Sorry, it has been hungry for a long time."
Not long after entering, the mechanical wire twisted violently, and the head end protruded from the collector, tapping the surface of the collector reluctantly a few times.
Jiang Xiangyang: "......?"
"My cat is a bit of a picky eater." The man's tone remained emotionless, slow and flat, as ethereal as a wisp of smoke in the sky. "If you don't want to eat it, forget it."
The mechanical wire shook at first, then seemed to freeze on the spot, and then quickly inserted the head end back, absorbing energy frantically. The energy collection bar was visibly decreasing rapidly.
Jiang Xiangyang was stunned, as if he was too shocked, and felt confused about what to ask.
After a while, he finally found his voice: "How come your mecha is--" alive?
Bang!
