Chapter 27 Chapter 27

Ruan Shiqing and 09 returned home.

The mechanical arms on 09's body have been retracted, and after putting on clothes, it has become an ordinary little golden robot again.

He held the code box in one hand and the blaster bomb in the other, still dancing uncontrollably: "Sir, you are so amazing, I have never seen anyone more amazing than you. When I left, I noticed that Marin's blood pressure was high, he must have been pissed off by you!"

Ruan Shiqing thought it was funny. The storage before 09 had been cleared. After he brought it back and repaired it, he had only met those few people, so he naturally thought he was very powerful. But in fact, there are too many powerful people in this world, such as the manuscripts he had seen in the "Golden Hall" of Metis. The authors of those manuscripts are well-deserved masters, and he still has a lot to learn.

But he did not refute the little robot's words. He just blindly favored him because he liked him. So he smiled and replied: "09 was also very powerful today. He is the most powerful robot I have ever seen."

The dancing little robot paused for a moment, the red light on the display screen kept flashing, and even the robot walked with the same hands and feet. After a long while, he said shyly: "It's because the master is so awesome." That's why he was transformed to be so awesome.

He loves his master so much.

As soon as they returned home, they were warmly welcomed.

The little dragon cub rushed over like a small cannonball, and clung to Ruan Shiqing's legs, flapping its wings behind it. It purred and said, "Dad, take me with you next time you go to work!"

He only knew that Ruan Shiqing went out to work, and 09 followed him to be a bodyguard.

After taking a look at 09, which had neither fangs nor claws and couldn't even spit fire, the little dragon cub said confidently, "I'll protect you!"

Ruan Shiqing was now very experienced in coaxing his son. He bent down, touched his head, and said, "I will definitely do it next time."

The little dragon cub immediately spit out a small spark of joy.

Nota was not as fast as him, he was a step slower and could only follow Ruan Shiqing closely.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at the little dragon cub's chubby and round body, and pouted: "I'm good at fighting, and I can protect my dad too!"

When she called out the word "Dad", she felt a little guilty and shy, and her ears twitched.

She heard He Li shouting like that, so she started shouting too.

"Well, Nota is certainly powerful, but there is no need to fight in the future. Dad can protect you." Ruan Shiqing picked her up and let her sit on his arms.

The silver eyes widened in disbelief. After Nota reacted, he happily hugged Ruan Shiqing's neck and rubbed his neck affectionately.

She also has a father who will protect her.

"!!!"

The little dragon lying on Ruan Shiqing's feet was not willing to be outdone. It climbed up his legs and onto his shoulders, and then hugged Ruan Shiqing's neck with its short paws.

He wants a hug too!

As he was talking, he had already reached the pool.

The little mermaid couldn't go to the door to greet them like the two little cubs did. Even though she was anxious, she just leaned out and watched eagerly.

Ruan Shiqing tucked the hair that was scattered on his forehead and blocked his eyes behind his ears: "Has your hair grown longer again?"

The little mermaid's hair grows very fast. It was previously cut short to her chin, but now it has grown past her shoulders.

"Ah!" The little mermaid nodded, then held Ruan Shiqing's fingers and shook them coquettishly, then reached out to gather her shoulder-length hair with one hand and made a gesture of tying it up.

Ruan Shiqing asked uncertainly, "Should we tie it up?"

The little mermaid nodded, her cheeks blushing.

"Okay, I'll give you the tattoo later." Ruan Shiqing rubbed his head, put the two cubs on the lounge chair by the pool, and went upstairs to change clothes.

When I reached the stairs, I saw Shanshan's latecomer.

Ruan Shiqing held him in his arms and rubbed him, muttering, "Why are you getting lazier lately?"

In the past, when he came back from going out, Snowball would always greet him, but now he often disappeared for a long time, and it was only after he came back that he could see the puppy.

He analyzed the puppy's psychology for a moment: "Is Snowball jealous? Do you think your father is ignoring you?"

Rong Heng: ???

What are you talking about?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stared at him, remaining silent.

Ruan Shiqing felt more and more that he had guessed correctly. He rubbed his head and said, "Dad will accompany you today, okay?"

Not very good, I still have to go out to do business.

Rong Heng tried to struggle to the ground, but Ruan Shiqing was determined to compensate the boy, so he held him tightly, not letting him run away, and even brought him directly into the bedroom.

Looking at the tightly closed bedroom door, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally gave up the struggle.

That’s it.

The time agreed with Marin was three days. Ruan Shiqing was not in a hurry and just completed the current tasks step by step.

He first searched for information about the mermaids on the holographic network, preparing to learn how other mermaids tied their hair.

After all, as a single man, he did not master the high-end skill of hair braiding.

Different from the previous search for the dragon tribe, the search interface for the mermaid tribe not only does not have all kinds of weird gossip, it is even comparable to a visual feast.

The online evaluation of mermaids is: sea elves.

These mermaids, both men and women, have lush, seaweed-like long hair that is well-groomed and adorned with all kinds of intricate and gorgeous accessories. Pick any one of them out and you'll be able to walk directly on the catwalk.

It is said that this is a tradition of the mermaid tribe.

When each cherished little mermaid reaches adulthood, she will receive gifts from the elders, who will give their favorite little mermaids their precious and gorgeous ornaments as a coming-of-age gift.

On his coming-of-age day, the more ornaments the little mermaid receives, the more valued and loved he is.

Ruan Shiqing turned off the smart computer and couldn't help but touch the little mermaid's head lovingly.

Other people’s kids have it, so his kid must have it too.

Ruan Shiqing decided to close the shop today and go out to buy some accessories for the little mermaid. He didn't have many star coins left, so he could only buy some simple ones and buy better ones later when he had more money.

If you start collecting jewelry from a young age, when the little mermaid grows up, even if he is alone, he will have many gorgeous jewelry and will be no worse than other little mermaids.

The little mermaid had no idea what Ruan Shiqing was thinking.

When Ruan Shiqing left, he only told him that he needed hair ties to tie his hair, but there were none at home, so he should go out to buy some and tie the little mermaid's hair when he came back.

The little mermaid had never seen the gorgeous fellows on the holographic network, and a hair rope was enough to satisfy him.

He sank under the water, gurgling and spitting bubbles, his fish tail swaying happily.

After Ruan Shiqing went out, Rong Heng, who saw the right opportunity, followed him out and headed straight for the South District.

The person Dares arranged to pick him up was right there.

Mori was almost growing hairy in the South District, and he was excited when Colonel Dareth secretly sent him to Planet B3024.

He was also excited when he saw the Crown Prince who was said to have been attacked and killed on Planet B3024.

He was ready to follow His Highness to do something big, but His Highness showed up twice briefly and never appeared again. The order he gave was just to wait where he was and not to reveal his identity.

Mori felt like he was about to turn into a mushroom.

Just when he was bored, His Highness finally appeared again.

Mo Li rushed over to him eagerly: "Your Highness, are you ready to leave?"

Life on planet B3024 is too boring. It is not as exciting as killing Zerg on the front line.

"I have a mission for you." Rong Heng said.

When he heard about the mission, Mori stood up and asked, "What mission?"

"Two things."

Rong Heng said, "One is to secretly kill the North District boss, Marin, and then replace him." He scanned Mori's figure up and down and found that he was similar to Marin, so he said with satisfaction, "You brought a disguise capsule, right?"

"Yes, I did." Mori raised his hand and asked, "But Your Highness, aren't we about to leave Planet B3024?"

"I won't leave for now." Rong Heng said, "After you replace Ma Lin, go to Ruan Shiqing to discuss a business deal." After a pause, he added, "Ruan Shiqing is from my camp, but I haven't revealed my identity yet, so after you pretend to be Ma Lin, don't show your true colors. You just need to reach a friendly cooperation with him."

Who is this Ruan Shiqing?

Mo Li responded vaguely: "I guarantee to complete the task."

"Second, contact Yengeis and ask Dares to open a secret route from Yengeis to B3024 as soon as possible, which must be able to ensure that large transport ships can pass through."

Mori was increasingly confused. "Planet B3024 is so barren. Apart from metal garbage, is there anything else that needs a transport ship?"

Rong Heng didn't explain, but smiled and said, "You'll know after you kill Marin."

After explaining the matter, he left on time.

But Mori thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what His Highness was planning.

But when they were at the front, they always followed His Highness's command and drove the battleship forward without any failure. So they stopped wasting their brain cells, took their equipment, and headed straight for Fita Manor.

In the manor, Marin had just lost his temper.

The subordinates were afraid of getting into trouble again, so they didn't dare to get close. At this time, he was the only one sitting in front of the French window, holding a glass of wine and admiring the garbage dump not far away.

Fita Manor and the garbage dump are two extreme existences.

With his power, he could have built the manor in the inner city. But when choosing a location, he deliberately chose the chaotic outer city, and also chose a place where he could see the garbage dump at a glance.

Whenever he was in a bad mood, sitting here and looking at the abandoned garbage dump from afar would give him a secret sense of comfort and a sense of power that the entire planet was in his hands.

The same is true today.

After drinking a glass of wine, Marin's manic mood eased a little. Just as he was about to call his subordinates to a meeting, he was unexpectedly hit by a laser gun on his temple.

"Who?" Marin froze, trying to see the other person's figure clearly in the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling window.

But Mori didn't give him a chance and pulled the trigger the next second.

The laser beam penetrated his temple, killing him with one shot.

After getting rid of Marlin neatly and efficiently, Morrie took off his clothes and put them on himself, then put his own clothes on Marlin. Finally, he took out two disguise capsules and put them on himself and Marlin respectively.

He became Marlin, and Marlin became... whatever it was, except that it wasn't him.

After collecting iris, fingerprint and genetic data, Mori dragged Marin's body and walked out in a swagger.

The subordinates standing outside saw him dragging someone out and were all shocked: "Sir?"

Mori imitated Marlin's voice and said angrily: "A bunch of rubbish, they didn't even notice the killer came in."

He threw the body to his subordinates: "Throw it to the landfill and dispose of it."

The subordinates hurriedly dragged the body away, and no one dared to ask any questions.

Rong Heng arrived home earlier than Ruan Shiqing. Ruan Shiqing walked in almost as soon as he arrived home.

He was holding several bags in his hands and looked to have accomplished a lot.

In order to make himself appear sociable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pretended to have just woken up and was going downstairs. He walked over with his paws out to show his presence, and then lay down on the recliner.

Ruan Shiqing was surrounded by the kids and shook the bag in his hand: "Don't worry, there are gifts for everyone."

During the trip, he not only bought a hair band and accessories for the little mermaid, but also bought new clothes and new toys for the cubs.

He took the items out of the bag one by one, and the kids watched intently.

Ruan Shiqing divided the gifts into four parts. The little dragon got a little dinosaur that could breathe fire, the little fox got a new skirt, and the little mermaid got a hairband and hair accessories.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received a ball that emitted red lasers and rolled around on the ground automatically.

Rong Heng: ???

What the hell is this?

Ruan Shiqing observed his reaction. The stall owner said that all small animals cannot resist this automatic laser ball, so why didn't the puppy react?

He tried to pick up the ball and shook it in front of the puppy. After thinking for a while, he turned on the sound again, and the laser ball began to make various animal sounds.

Rong Heng:……?

He slapped the laser ball away with one claw, glared at Ruan Shiqing, and buried his head in his belly.

Boring, stupid, don't want to care.

Ruan Shiqing: ...

It seems like he really doesn't like it.

Instead, the little dragon stared at the rolling ball, kicked the ground with its hind legs a few times, and finally couldn't help but pounce on it.

The fire-breathing toy dinosaur lay alone on the ground.

Ruan Shiqing: ???

It seems that it’s not that he has a bad eye for choosing toys, but that he gave the wrong toys to the wrong person.

Fortunately, there were two little cubs who were very supportive. Nota quickly put on her new skirt, stood her ears straight up, and swung her ten fluffy tails around, and turned around in front of Ruan Shiqing.

She had never worn a skirt, or to be more precise, she had never worn new clothes.

When she was wandering around, she would pick up discarded clothes from others to wear. Sometimes, when the clothes were too torn to wear, she would simply change back into her beast form.

The little fox grasped the hem of her skirt with both hands and looked at Ruan Shiqing nervously.

"Nota is so beautiful." Ruan Shiqing helped her straighten the hem of her skirt.

The skirt is a specially selected Bis style, with enough space below the waist for the little fox's tail to show through, making it beautiful and comfortable to wear.

After getting the affirmation, Nota shook his ears, and even the amplitude of his movements became a little smaller.

She is now a beautiful domesticated little fox, not a wild fox that no one wants.

The little mermaid watched from the side and uttered a soft "ah" in response, then condensed a small daisy out of water and gave it to her.

He has practiced this skill very well. Although he cannot speak, he can use such actions to express his emotions.

The little fox took the daisy gracefully.

Ruan Shiqing's mouth curled up, and then he picked up the little mermaid with a bath towel and let him and the puppy share a lounge chair: "Now it's your turn."

He took out the comb he had just bought and carefully combed the little mermaid's hair.

Then she clumsily tied up the little mermaid's hair according to the video she saw on the Internet.

Mermaids are very popular on the holographic network because of their beauty. Some mermaids with kinder personalities will also share some mermaid braiding tips.

However, these were still advanced lessons for Ruan Shiqing at the moment, and he could only learn the simplest twisted braid.

Take a strand of hair from each side and braid them, then secure them at the back of your head with a golden hair tie.

Ruan Shiqing took a look, then picked out a few small golden ball clips from a pile of hair accessories and clipped them in his hair.

The golden ball clips are only the size of a fingernail, scattered in the hair like little stars in the sky.

The little mermaid looked into the water and her eyes curved into little crescents.

Rong Heng, who was standing next to him, stretched his head to take a look at the colorful accessories in the bag and couldn't help but sneer.

Mermaids are indeed a bunch of troublemakers, and even artificial mermaids are no exception.

No wonder he stays in Sijia Lanxing and refuses to come out. It takes him half a day just to comb his hair when he goes out, right?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his face away with disdain.

***

In a blink of an eye, three days later, Shen Wuzhu came again.

At that time, Ruan Shiqing was teaching Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan how to repair simple parts such as heat sink valves. Seeing Shen Wuzhu coming, he asked the Xiong brothers to continue, changed his work clothes, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Ma Lin, have you thought about it?"

Shen Wuyu did not answer immediately. He glanced at the Xiong brothers who were concentrating on their work and said thoughtfully, "You are willing to teach them."

Although he was not an expert, he could see that Ruan Shiqing did teach them something. It was not like some repair shops outside, which would only let apprentices help out after receiving money, and would not really teach them anything useful.

"After teaching them, I can relax a little bit." Ruan Shiqing smiled and said, "If the cooperation is successful, I will need more time to design weapons."

It would be too much energy to take care of both, and it was unnecessary. It would be better to train the Xiong brothers and hand over the repair shop business to them in the future, while he would concentrate on learning, improving and developing weapons.

"Few people can do what you do." Shen Wuzhu sighed, and then got down to business: "Marin agreed to your conditions."

Ruan Shiqing waited for his next words, but found that Shen Wuzhu had no intention of continuing. He asked in confusion, "That's all?"

He knew that Marin would most likely agree, but he didn't expect that he would agree so readily. He thought that even if Marin agreed to his conditions, he would not be satisfied with it and would definitely put forward some other additional conditions.

After all, Marin is not a broad-minded person. He is wary of Ruan Shiqing, and Ruan Shiqing is naturally wary of him. Choosing to cooperate with Marin is just a temporary measure.

But this time he became confused. Could it be that he had made a mistake?

Shen Wuzhuo considered and said, "He seems to be in a good mood recently and is very easy to talk to about many things."

Ruan Shiqing understood what he meant. It seemed that Shen Wuzhu couldn't guess what Marin was planning.

"Shall we sign the contract now?" Ruan Shiqing asked.

"Yes." Shen Wuju said: "Marin sent me to pick you up. The contract has been drafted. If there is no problem, we can sign it and start production as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Shiqing explained something to 09 and followed him to Fita Manor.

As Shen Wuzhu said, Marin had been waiting for a long time.

After seeing him, the other party strode forward and shook his hand warmly: "Mr. Ruan is finally here."

Ruan Shiqing: ???

Did Marin take the wrong medicine?

He pulled his hand out with great effort: "Let me take a look at the contract first."

Marin ordered someone to hand the contract to him.

After quickly scanning the contract, Ruan Shiqing looked at him in surprise. This contract was actually very fair and there was not a single problem with it.

Marin seemed to have changed his temperament.

But this is not a bad thing for him. No matter what Marin is planning now, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for him.

So he picked up the pen and was about to sign when he paused and said, "There is one more thing. You know I'm in urgent need of money recently. I need a deposit of one million Star Coins."

Mori, disguised as Marin, almost blurted out, "You can have as many as you want, just cooperate with me quickly so that I can produce the blaster and send it to Yangis."

God knows that after he found out Marin's information and learned about this business, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two nights.

If it wasn't for the purpose of not appearing too unusual, he would have wanted to invite the great Ruan Shiqing over two days ago to hold his hand and have him sign the contract.

When he discovered that the power of the blaster was equivalent to that of the laser gun, but the production cost was only one-fifth of that of the laser gun, he immediately contacted Yenges and intercepted a new weapons order.

No one knows the significance of the blaster better than the soldiers fighting the Zerg on the front lines.

Take the intercepted weapons order as an example, three thousand new laser guns cost as much as 24 million star coins.

But if this money was used to purchase blaster rifles, at cost price, 15,000 rifles could be purchased.

Three thousand and fifteen thousand are not in the same level in terms of quantity.

More sufficient weapons can eliminate the Zerg to the greatest extent and minimize casualties.

By controlling his own weapons production channels, Yengeis would no longer be subject to the control of various parties, and he could even sell the surplus blasters and make a fortune.

Ruan Shiqing is undoubtedly a walking cash cow.

Mo Li's eyes were glowing green as he stared at Ruan Shiqing. He didn't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found this God of Wealth.

After he communicated with Yanjis, Colonel Dares wanted to come to B3024 in person. If he hadn't been stopped by several other colonels, he would probably be on the way now.

Mori calmed down and pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated for a while before saying, "Okay, but this money will be deducted from your future account, and you must hand over the design drawings as soon as possible."

"That's what I should do." Ruan Shiqing nodded, and continued, "Besides that, there is another private matter that I need your help with."

"You tell me the story first." Morrie tried his best to act.

"I want to know the identity of the buyer who bought the nine-tailed fox cub at the underground auction. This should not be difficult for you?"

In order to avoid the auction and the buyer's search, the little fox can only hide now.

But this is not a long-term solution. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative and completely resolve this hidden danger.
