Chapter 28 Chapter 28

Mori naturally would not refuse his request.

For him, Ruan Shiqing is now a cash cow that needs to be worshipped and cannot be touched or knocked. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not forbade him, he would have wanted to take over and kidnap the person to Yanjis!

This is such a big treasure.

Mori completed the transfer on the spot and tried to get the man to stay for dinner. After being rejected, he enthusiastically escorted the man to the door and said, "If you need anything in the future, Mr. Ruan, just come to me. I will find out the news about the buyer as soon as possible and let you know."

Although he felt uncomfortable with his 360-degree reversal of attitude, Marin was so friendly and they had just reached a cooperation agreement. No matter what his purpose was, Ruan Shiqing would not disrespect his face.

So the two of them boasted about their business for a while before Ruan Shiqing said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Marin pulled him aside and they added each other's contact information.

Mo Li fiddled with his smart computer and said happily, "This way, if there is anything in the future, Shen Wuzhu won't have to pass on the message."

It's a pity that he is of strong build, with a ferocious face, and such a smile makes him look malicious.

Ruan Shiqing smiled perfunctorily and got on Shen Wuju's landspeeder.

The two chatted casually on the way, Shen Wujue said: "You also think that Marin's transformation is a bit big, right?" He shrugged: "If all the data did not show that there was no problem, I would almost suspect that he was replaced."

Ruan Shiqing rested his elbow on the edge of the car window, supported his chin with one hand, and said lazily, "It's quite big, but it doesn't do me any harm at the moment."

Shen Wuzhu curled his lips upon hearing this, and concentrated on driving without saying anything else.

After sending the person to the door, he handed out an invitation: "In half a month, there will be a fellow countryman mutual aid meeting, which will be held specifically for ancient humans. If you are interested, you can come and have a look."

The invitation was dark blue, with no embellishments other than the time and location, and was very low-key and simple.

"Mutual Aid Association?" Ruan Shiqing was puzzled.

Shen Wuzhu explained: "You can think of it as an ancient human exchange meeting. The leader of the mutual aid association is considered to be quite well-off among ancient humans, so he organized the mutual aid association. Ancient humans who received invitations can exchange some resources at the mutual aid association. Some ancient humans whose lives are not satisfactory can also take this opportunity to seek a job. Luther has participated before, and I met him at the mutual aid association."

Ruan Shiqing suddenly realized that it was similar to the "hometown association" in ancient times.

In this strange world, his fellow tribesmen can at least give him a sense of identity and belonging. He is still willing to participate in such a benign organization.

He accepted the invitation.

After seeing Shen Wuju off, Ruan Shiqing transferred 350,000 star coins to Gu Feng.

Gu Feng didn't expect that he would pay off the debt so quickly. He was so surprised that he called directly to confirm.

"Yes, I just concluded a deal and received the deposit, so it won't be too difficult." Ruan Shiqing said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern."

Gu Feng's tone was full of admiration: "If someone tells me that ancient humans are no good again, I can use you as an example to refute them."

"You're not bad. You became a store manager so quickly. Maybe you can leave B3024 and get better development in the future."

He said it casually, but Gu Feng was stunned. He had never thought about this question before.

He was already very satisfied to be promoted to store manager. But Ruan Shiqing's words seemed to open another door to a wider world for him. He paused and smiled: "Thank you for your good words."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Ruan Shiqing glanced at the invitation in his hand and asked casually, "Will you attend the mutual aid meeting next month?"

"You also received an invitation?" Gu Feng was slightly surprised at first, then said embarrassedly: "That's right, you are so outstanding, you will definitely receive an invitation. I participated last year. At that time, my life was difficult, so I went with the mentality of giving it a try, and I was recommended to work here. I will also go this year, and I can go with Mr. Ruan, and return the mortgaged blaster to you by the way."

After hearing him say this, Ruan Shiqing put his doubts aside.

He disconnected the call and prepared to go in, only to notice that the door was closed.

The repair shop was open for business today, so the door shouldn't be closed. Ruan Shiqing opened the door and entered the yard, and saw a heavy atmosphere.

Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan sat on the steps, looking depressed.

The cubs gathered by the pool, all looking listless.

The little dragon who would usually fly over to greet him immediately just glanced at him this time, stammered "Dad", and lowered his head.

The little robot 09, who had just come out of the house, saw him and began to stammer: "Mr. Xianxian, you're back so early?"

Something must have happened at home.

"What happened?" Ruan Shiqing asked.

The little golden robot froze for a moment, the red light on the display screen kept flashing, and it stammered and was unable to utter a word.

Ruan Shiqing looked at the cubs again.

Except for the puppy, the other kids all looked guilty and lowered their heads.

He could only look at the Xiong brothers: "Who can tell me what happened?"

Xiong Yuanyuan swallowed nervously and tried her best to nudge Xiong Fangfang with her elbow.

Xiong Fangfang, who was highly regarded by the public, had no choice but to speak up: "Today, three customers came to the store and said that their motorcycles broke down on the way and asked if they could be repaired. I checked them and found that the heat sink valve was blocked, causing the engine temperature to be too high, so I repaired it for them..."

He did teach the Xiong brothers how to repair the radiator valve. These were simple little questions: "And then?"

"After the repairs were completed, they paid for the repairs and drove away with the shuttle. But they came back ten minutes later and insisted that we had damaged their engine and wanted to argue with me."

Xiong Yuanyuan couldn't help but answer angrily: "My brother and I checked it again and found that the engine was indeed broken, but they confirmed that it was still good when they drove away. We were afraid of affecting the reputation of the store, so we suggested that you come back to check it again... Who knew that they were pretending to repair cars and came to find out the truth? One of them took advantage of us not paying attention and sneaked up to the second floor and saw Nota and the others."

When the shop is open for business, the kids play on the second floor.

There had been no trouble for so many days, so the Xiong brothers did not take much precautions. The three men heard the news from somewhere, and deliberately made trouble while repairing the flying motorcycle, and then took the opportunity to sneak up to the second floor and saw the children playing on the second floor.

Those kids were not easy to deal with, so Nota and Heri immediately worked together to drive the man downstairs.

The Xiong brothers, who were still arguing with the customer, realized something was wrong and were about to arrest the people, but the three men got on their motorcycles and ran away, and they couldn't stop them.

"The news that Nota is here may have spread." Xiong Yuanyuan said angrily.

"Have I gotten into trouble?" Nota approached Ruan Shiqing hesitantly, carefully grasped the corner of his clothes, and looked up at him.

Because of the fight, the little fox's hair was messy and her new skirt was stained.

Looks extremely uneasy.

After the incident, she has been feeling uneasy.

She knew that someone outside was trying to catch her, so she had been consciously avoiding outsiders. But today they were having so much fun that no one noticed the bad guy who sneaked up.

At that time, she was anxious and afraid, with a surge of anger surging in her chest. If Snowball hadn't suddenly bit her tail, she might... might have ended up like last time at the garbage dump...

The little fox drooped his ears sadly and said with great difficulty: "If, if there is really trouble, I can hide outside first and come back when there is no danger..."

This was a solution she had been thinking about for a long time.

She was reluctant to leave this home, but also didn't want to bring trouble to this family, so she could only propose this compromise.

"Nota can't leave!" the little dragon cub shouted as soon as he heard it.

Without Nota, he had no sister.

He bared his teeth and said viciously, "If another bad guy comes, we'll just beat him away!"

The little mermaid also let out two short "ahhh" sounds, waving her hands constantly, looking at Nota anxiously, and her restlessly swaying fish tail stirred up ripples in the pool water.

Only Rong Heng, who was lying lazily on the recliner, glanced at them and curled his lips.

The cub really knew nothing.

whispering sound.

"..."Ruan Shiqing was the one who didn't know what expression to make.

But seeing that the cubs were about to cry, he could only bend down, pick up the two cubs and put them on the recliner.

Ruan Shiqing considered his words and explained, "There's no danger anymore." He used his fingers to straighten Nota's messy red hair. "Just before Dad came home, someone was hired to help solve the problem. Soon you can all go out and play."

The cubs were naturally lively, so keeping them at home was not a long-term solution. Moreover, this age was the time for the cubs to receive education, and Ruan Shiqing had already intended to arrange a reasonable identity for them on the B3024 star and let them go to the cub school.

Although the situation in the outer city is chaotic, there are still schools.

The cub school is similar to the kindergarten in his original world, but the courses taught are a little different. In addition to cultural knowledge, the teachers will also guide the cubs on how to control and use their talents, as well as how to change their form, etc.

Moreover, the principal of the cub school is a powerful evolved human, and the teachers are also very capable, so the school is relatively safe.

Therefore, many parents who can afford the tuition are willing to send their children to cub schools. Even if it is not for learning, it is worth it to ensure the safety of their children when they go out.

Ruan Shiqing has been secretly doing his homework for some time.

Asking Marin to help find out the identity of the buyer at the auction is just the first step.

When he has enough ability and arranges reasonable identities for the cubs, they will not be afraid of attracting malicious intent even if they go around in public. By then, his existence will be enough to scare those with evil intentions.

Ruan Shiqing's words made the cubs stunned. After a moment, the little dragon cub shouted happily, hugged his legs, and tilted his head back to confirm repeatedly: "Really? Really? Can Heli go out to play too?"

The little dragon's attention has quickly shifted from the danger being resolved to being able to go out and play.

Nota and the little mermaid also widened their eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Really." Ruan Shiqing touched the cubs' heads and smiled gently: "So you don't have to worry about those bad guys."

The heavy atmosphere was swept away and the cubs found happiness again.

The little dragon jumped into the pool, and the little mermaid's tail was tumbling in the water. The little mermaid's tail flicked lightly, and the tail fin emerged from the water and fell down, causing waves of water.

The little fox, who cherished its fur, just lay down by the pool and took the opportunity to splash water on the little dragon cub that surfaced.

Even Brother Xiong Fangfang rubbed his hands, cheered himself up, and continued to work.

After making sure that the puppies did not leave any shadows, Ruan Shiqing picked up the puppies and called 09 to go to the workshop.

Upon learning that the crisis was resolved, the little robot was filled with joy, and the red light on the display screen flashed regularly.

"09, call up those three people and send a copy of the front-facing image to my AI."

09 responded and immediately sent the video data that he had prepared long ago.

The intelligent computer made a slight sound, and Ruan Shiqing opened the virtual screen, memorized the faces of the three people, and sent a copy to Marin, asking him to help find the whereabouts of the three people, with a cold look in his eyes.

09 was puzzled and asked: "Sir, didn't you say there is no danger?"

"There is no danger now, but we can't let these three people go easily." Ruan Shiqing pursed his lips and said, "It seems that the lesson last time was not enough."

Rong Heng, who was lying on the workbench, looked at him again and again.

Revenge is necessary, that's right.

After the little disturbance, the family returned to its usual state of laughter and joy.

The next day, Ruan Shiqing didn't have to go out. He got up early in the morning, had breakfast with the cubs, tied the hair of the little mermaid and the little fox, and instructed the Xiong brothers for a while before going into the workshop to work.

His schedule is very full. Apart from spending time with his cubs and going out for appointments, the rest of his time is spent in the workshop, wishing he could split every minute into two halves.

He had already read half of the books in the Metis Gray Database, and the inspiration and sketches he had drawn while reading had filled up three full volumes.

In his original world, because of years of overtime work, he had already mastered the basic skill of reading ten lines at a glance. His speed in reading documents and materials was beyond the reach of ordinary people. His colleagues often joked that he had mastered "quantum wave speed reading".

He was like a sponge, and Metis' database was a vast ocean. He was absorbing nutrients from the ocean at a speed that ordinary people could not match.

He studied hard in the workshop until the evening. 09 called him three times in a row. Ruan Shiqing reluctantly turned off the virtual screen and rubbed his slightly sore eyes.

After opening the door, Ruan Shiqing moved his body: "What's wrong?"

09 said: "Mr. Luther is here to visit and is waiting for you in the yard."

Luther came to give out tickets to the finals.

After the preliminary and semi-finals, he successfully qualified for the finals. Although there were still fifty contestants in the finals, as the only ancient human among them, he already had enough capital to be proud of.

"Congratulations." Ruan Shiqing didn't bother to be polite with him and took the ticket: "I will definitely go to see it."

Luther shook his head in embarrassment, and then bowed to him very solemnly, his dark face flushed a little: "I have always wanted to express my gratitude to you solemnly, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

It was Ruan Shiqing who gave him the confidence and courage to move forward.

In the past, he thought that being in the top ten of the final was a very good result, but now as one of the 50, he feels that the championship is not out of reach.

He was no longer satisfied with just jumping out of the well and looking at the wider world. Instead, he wanted to try his best to leave his own mark in that vast world.

After delivering the ticket, Luther left in a hurry. It was said that the competition in this final was fierce and he was training against the clock.

Ruan Shiqing counted the tickets and found that there were ten in total.

One for each person in the family, and there are still some left over.

Each finalist was given ten free tickets, and Luther probably gave them all to him.

Ruan Shiqing waved the tickets at the kids and said, "Do you want to go to the game and cheer for Luther?"

The kids stared at the tickets and nodded.

The little dragon was always quick, and had already crawled along Ruan Shiqing's trousers to his chest, trying to reach for the ticket. He said loudly, "I have a loud voice, I'm going to cheer for Luther!"

Nota was not to be outdone: "My voice is loud too!"

The little mermaid was unable to speak. She slapped the water with her tail and raised her hands anxiously.

It seems that the kids have been cooped up at home for too long and are longing for the outside world.

Ruan Shiqing rubbed the kids one by one, put away the tickets, and said with a smile: "Then you have to behave well in the next few days. Dad will take you to the competition on the day."

He rubbed the puppy and looked at 09 and the Xiong brothers: "Everyone go together."

The little robot and the cubs cheered together.

Knowing that they could go watch the high-speed shuttle race, the kids were so excited that they couldn't sleep that day. Although the race was still several days away, they couldn't contain their excitement.

The little dragon held his little pillow and climbed onto his father's bed with confidence.

When Nota saw this, he immediately followed with the pillow in his mouth.

The little mermaid in the bucket in the living room became anxious and kept slapping the water to attract her father's attention.

Seeing this, Ruan Shiqing was helpless and could only resign himself to getting out of bed and carrying the little mermaid into the bedroom.

The big bed that originally only had one for the puppy was suddenly filled with the puppies.

Rong Heng, who was resting with his eyes closed, frowned because of the noise of the cubs. But at this moment, the little dragon cub was still squeezing towards him - Rong Heng was sleeping on the pillow on the right side of Ruan Shiqing, very close to Ruan Shiqing.

The little dragon wanted to sleep against his father's neck and was trying so hard that he almost squeezed Rong Heng out.

Rong Heng: ...

He raised his paw and pushed the annoying little dragon away.

The little dragon boy was of course not as strong as him, and he was pushed to the ground twice. He got up in a daze and said angrily: "Who pushed me secretly?!"

Rong Heng looked at him coldly and lay back down again.

If you squeeze me again, I'll throw you out.

This night was lively and peaceful. The kids sleeping next to their dad slept very peacefully.

There were small breathing sounds coming and going in the bedroom.

Rong Heng opened his eyes, glanced at the flashing intelligent computer, jumped off the bed quietly, picked up the intelligent computer and left the bedroom.

Change into human form and log into the holographic network.

Rong Heng said in an unhappy tone: "You'd better be in urgent need of something."

Dares's virtual image flickered, and he said seriously, "This time I have something urgent to report." He said without hesitation, "Your father, the Regent, will soon hold a coronation ceremony. At the same time, he will marry old Bart's eldest daughter, Seya Bart."

Old Bart is the helmsman of the Nashi Group. Nashi has a history of more than 300 years and is the largest manufacturer in the Galaxy Empire, with industries ranging from civilian vehicles to military weapons.

Various types of civilian auxiliary robots and transportation vehicles, as well as large military warships and weapons, all have the shadow of the Naxi Group behind them.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Naxi Group's industries cover half of the empire.

The purpose of the Regent marrying Seya Bart when he ascended the throne was self-evident.

Dares was worried: "If this marriage takes effect, your position will be threatened, Your Majesty."

He had not worried about this problem before. After all, even if the regent ascended the throne, after his death, the only candidate for succession would be His Highness. But if Seya Bart ascended the throne and gave birth to a child with the new king, with the support of the Naxi Group behind her, it might really threaten His Highness's right of succession.

Your Highness must show up as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.

"When will the coronation ceremony be held?" Rong Heng lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable.

"Just half a month later, on December 27th." Dares said, "You need to return to Sikkim as soon as possible."

Rong Heng paused for a long time, his eyes dark, "It's time to go back."

"How's the progress over there?" he asked again.

"We are already setting up a new jump channel." Dares carefully looked at his face and asked tentatively: "After your majesty left, there was no one to guard B3024. Do you think... should I go there? I'm afraid Mori can't handle it alone."

"Guard Yanjis well." Rong Heng glanced at him coldly: "You don't need to worry about the things here."

Dareth was reluctant: "...Oh."

The communication was unilaterally cut off, and Rong Heng's face completely sank. He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance and asked Noah in a hoarse voice: "What do you think he wants to do?"

Since the founding of the Galaxy Empire, the Judean clan has been placed on the throne and branded as a royal family.

As the emperor of the empire, his mother, Queen Farah, devoted her entire life to the empire.

Even marriage.

He always remembered that at his mother's funeral, he asked Si Yan why he was not sad at all. Si Yan replied, "Because your mother never loved me. She was a person without feelings. I will not shed tears for a cold-blooded person."

His mother was the powerful Jumier, but his father, S.F., was just a weak ancient human.

Their union was just a political show by Queen Farah to promote the Racial Equality Act, and there was no love between them.

——This is what Si Yan told him at that time.

But Rong Heng always remembered what his mother had taught him: Your grandmother and father were both ancient humans, but they were both very powerful and worthy of respect. Whether a person is noble or not has nothing to do with race.

Judea was not born noble, and ancient humans were not born lowly.

Just like his surname "Rong", which is taken from his grandmother's surname.

At that time, my mother's expression was very gentle, even gentle.

But everyone knows that Queen Farah is cold-blooded and ruthless, and has been decisive in killing people throughout her life. The word "gentle" has never been used to describe her.

Only Rong Heng, who was still a cub, saw the tenderness of her heart that she inadvertently revealed.

So he never believed what Si Yan said.

Queen Farah was a great monarch and a qualified mother.

In his opinion, it was not that his mother was too cold and heartless, but that Si Yan was trapped by racial prejudice and never really understood his mother.
