Chapter 20 Chapter 20



After a night's rest, Ruan Shiqing got up early the next morning and went to clean the small pool with 09.

When he went downstairs, he deliberately turned to the kitchen to take a look. The kitchen window was not closed all night, but the nutritional supplements he had placed on the windowsill had not been touched.

It seems that the little fox did not show up last night.

Or maybe he was just seeing things, and it wasn't a little fox at all.

Ruan Shiqing shook his head, changed into work clothes, took the tools, and went to clean the small pool with 09.

The small pool in the yard was built by 09 alone. It was round, with a diameter of five meters and a depth of three meters, occupying one-fifth of the entire yard. The falling star vines hung down from the second floor, just covering the top of the pool, with only a little light leaking through the branches and leaves.

This is a playground specially built for the little mermaid.

The two of them worked together to flush and disinfect the pool three times. Ruan Shiqing also installed water pipes and filtering devices in the pool. After the pool was filled with water, Ruan Shiqing went upstairs and brought down the little mermaid who had been waiting for a long time on the second floor.

The little mermaid brought two little ducks with her. She held the little ducks tightly in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the pool.

"Try it and see if you like it." Ruan Shiqing carried him to the pool.

Half of the small pool is embedded in the ground, and the other half is above the ground. The height above the ground is only a little over one meter, which allows him to communicate with Ruan Shiqing or other people at home at any time while playing in the sun in the yard.

The little mermaid looked back at Ruan Shiqing, and after getting his confirmation, she jumped into the pool.

The water surface stirred up a burst of water splashes, ripples spread out, in the clear pool water, the little mermaid swayed his long tail, rolling and swimming freely in the water. His posture was extremely graceful, and the light reflected in the water concealed the uneven old wounds on his tail that had not yet fully healed, making him look like a real mermaid glowing in the water.

Two rubber ducks teeter on the turbulent water.

The little mermaid rushed to the surface from the bottom of the water. Her sapphire eyes were washed by the water, becoming more crystal clear. When she looked at Ruan Shiqing, her eyes were full of joy.

He picked up the duck and uttered three "ahs" in a row to express his love for the new pool.

"As long as you like it." Ruan Shiqing pointed to the small shelf next to the sink and said, "This is also yours. You can put the things you like on it."

On the mushroom-shaped shelf, a large bath towel, nutritional supplements, medicines, and some small gadgets to relieve boredom have already been placed.

The little mermaid was extremely happy. He leaned out of the pool, hugged Ruan Shiqing tightly, and moved his head against his chest, shouting "ah ah".

If his vocal cords returned to normal, Ruan Shiqing would be able to hear that the little mermaid was actually calling "papa".

"Papa" means father in the language of the mermaids.

Although he didn't understand what the little mermaid said, it didn't prevent Ruan Shiqing from feeling the little mermaid's happiness. He put the little mermaid back into the pool and pointed at 09: "If you need anything else, just ask 09 to get it for you."

The little mermaid clung to the edge of the pool and nodded obediently, then looked at 09, let out two "ahhh" sounds, and revealed a brilliant smile.

This time he said "thank you".

09 was also very happy that his work was loved by the little mermaid. An unprecedented emotion surged in his chip, and he turned around twice happily and rushed into the house.

He needed to do something else to cool down the chip that was starting to heat up.

Ruan Shiqing smiled and shook his head, and suddenly remembered that he seemed not to have seen the puppy since he got up. He looked around, looking for the little boy.

After searching the house for a long time without finding it, he looked up by chance and saw a furry little head looking down at him from the window sill on the second floor.

Ruan Shiqing waved at him: "Snowball, come down and play."

Rong Heng sneered. The yard was dirty with water stains splashed by the artificial mermaid, so he refused to go down.

He turned his head away and ignored Ruan Shiqing.

If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain.

Ruan Shiqing went upstairs, picked up the puppy, rubbed him for a while, and then carried him downstairs.

When he passed by the workshop, he suddenly remembered the metal ball that was taken away by the puppy, so he pinched the puppy's armpits and lifted him up to shake him: "Where is the ball I gave you to play with yesterday?"

"..." Rong Heng looked at him.

Not telling you.

When Ruan Shiqing saw the puppy staring at him with a pair of wet eyes wide open, looking innocently at him, he knew that he would not get anything out of him by asking him, as the kid must have lost the ball.

He held the kid in his arms again and couldn't help pulling his furry ears: "Now you are playing dumb."

???

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unhappy.

I'm doing this for your own good, you know what I mean.

The material of the metal ball is very special. Ruan Shiqing was planning to study it, but he had to go out for work soon, so he was not in a hurry to look for it. Anyway, the kid had never been out of the house, and the metal ball was probably thrown in a corner of the house. It would not be too late to look for it when he came back after finishing his work.

After instructing 09 to take good care of the kids, Ruan Shiqing and the Xiong brothers drove out in the racing shuttle.

——Today they are going to test the performance of the modified shuttle racing car deep in the junkyard.

Nota, who was hiding in the dark, saw him leave the door, then he quietly sneaked towards the kitchen with the newly found radiator.

This is a thank you gift for the previous four tubes of nutrition.

The radiator was almost half her height, and she dragged it to the kitchen window with great effort. She stood on tiptoe to lift the radiator and put it on the window sill. When she was about to leave, she noticed three tubes of nutritional supplements on the window sill.

Nota was not planning to visit this family, so after seeing the nutritional supplement, he just licked his lips quietly and did not take it.

But the words on the nutrition tube caught her attention - she could recognize some simple words.

The nutritional supplement tube had a message on it saying “This is a thank you gift.”

Nota climbed up by grabbing the edge of the windowsill, squatted on the windowsill and stared blankly at the three tubes of nutritional supplements, thinking uncertainly: Are these for me?

Is this a thank you gift for the parts you sent yesterday?

The tail was wagging slightly, and a feeling of excitement was bubbling up from the bottom of his heart.

Nota hesitated for a moment, held the nutrient solution in his arms, jumped off the windowsill, hid among the vines, looked at the house that looked particularly warm from afar, and smiled happily.

The owner of this place is indeed a very gentle person.

Ruan Shiqing and the Xiong brothers drove a racing car to the depths of the garbage dump.

The garbage dump is large enough, with various metal garbage piled up into small hills and towers, so it is hard to fly at high speeds. This is one of the venues for the annual high-speed shuttle race.

A batch of transport ships just passed by today, and deep in the garbage dump, many people were looking for valuable items.

When Ruan Shiqing and his party drove over in the racing shuttle, they attracted many people who gathered around to watch out of curiosity.

When he saw the old appearance of the shuttle racing car, he couldn't help but snort: "Your shuttle racing car is too old. It will fall apart after running one lap on the track, right?"

"Yeah, not everyone can participate in podracing."

"The driver is still an ancient human, right? Could it be that the ancient human also wants to participate in shuttle racing?"

Ruan Shiqing turned a deaf ear to the rumors around him. After debugging, he signaled the Xiong brothers to get out of the car and wait.

The Xiong brothers were strong and looked very intimidating. They waved their fists at the crowd watching the excitement with a ferocious look, which actually drove away many timid people.

But there were some brave ones who stayed and watched from a distance.

Ruan Shiqing put on goggles and pulled up all the control levers. In the fuel chamber, the fuel igniters ignited at the same time, and the two engines roared. The next second, the shuttle racing car rolled up a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.

The speed increased so suddenly that no one could react.

By the time they came to their senses, the podracing car had disappeared, and only the faint roar of its engine could be heard.

The crowd was immediately excited: "This speed is too fast! Can this type of shuttle racing car go that fast?"

"I've seen this racing car before. Is it a second-hand racing car that Luther bought? It is said that it broke down as soon as he bought it, and he had to find someone to repair it..."

"If the race was this fast, maybe we could get into the top ten?"

Amid the noisy discussions, a male Bis with wolf ears sneered, "What's the use of being fast? Shuttle racing is not all about speed. Besides, the driver is an ancient human. If he crashes as soon as he drives out, it will be useless no matter how fast you are."

Before he could finish his words, he was drowned out by a burst of loud noise.

The shuttle racing car with old-fashioned shape and outdated shell came back from afar, wrapped in wind and thunder, with a domineering momentum.

Ruan Shiqing pushed open the hatch, jumped out of the car, looked around at the different expressions of the people around him, and said to the stunned Xiong brothers: "You two go and test drive it. If there is no problem, we can go back."

Xiong Yuanyuan responded loudly and pushed Xiong Fangfang into the car.

The racing shuttle sped away once again, and the wind blew the hair on Ruan Shiqing's forehead slightly ruffled, revealing his eyebrows and eyes, making him look a little more aggressive than usual.

Although he still looks like a thin and youthful boy, no one dares to look down on him anymore.

The Bis man who had spoken so arrogantly earlier blushed and hid behind the crowd.

But some people were curious about Ruan Shiqing and came up to ask, "Are you also going to participate in this year's competition?"

"Did you buy this car from Luther? Which repair shop had it fixed?"

"Are you an ancient human? I have never seen an ancient human as powerful as you."

“…”

Ruan Shiqing was surrounded in the middle, but he did not show a cold face because of the previous discussions. He picked out a few questions that were asked more frequently and answered them.

“I’m not participating.”

"The car belongs to Luther, I just modified it for him."

"I am an ancient human, but I can't say I am very powerful."

Before the question was answered, Xiong Yuanyuan and Xiong Fangfang had already finished running a lap and returned to their original places.

Xiong Fangfang jumped out of the car, protecting Ruan Shiqing behind him, letting him get in first. He then blocked the car door, no longer looking ferocious, but smiling innocently as he advertised: "He is the owner of the newly opened repair shop next to the underground market. He modified this racing car himself, and its performance is obvious to all. If you are interested, you can come to the shop more often in the future."

After saying this, he dispersed the crowd, got in the car, and drove away.

The people who stayed there were talking about it, while the wolf-eared man quietly withdrew from the crowd.

Suddenly a powerful enemy appears and he has to go and inform the boss.

The author has something to say: Rongzai: I’m just an artificial mermaid, do I deserve to own such a big swimming pool?

Fish fry: (*^__^*)

Xiao Ruan held the fish baby and rubbed it against him, while Rongzi could only peek from upstairs.

At this time, Rong Zaizai was still a young and innocent child.
