Chapter 40 Chapter 40 (20,000 nutrient solution extra)

The little dragon cub went downstairs reluctantly and found everyone gathered together talking about something.

He looked at Rong Heng, then at the little fox, and found that they all had red marks painted on their faces, except for himself. He immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "I want to be painted too!"

He flapped his little wings and said unhappily, "Why did you all draw and not draw for me?"

"You're so dark anyway, no one can tell whether you draw or not." The little fox laughed at him mercilessly.

!!!!!!!

The little dragon boy's eyes widened, and his nostrils were about to spit sparks of anger. He grabbed Ruan Shiqing's legs and started to act coquettishly: "I want to draw no matter what, Daddy draws for me!"

Ruan Shiqing had no choice but to take out a red pen and draw a line on the little dragon's face.

The little dragon's face was covered with black scales as black as ink-jelly. The scales overlapped one another, and were shiny and smooth. When the tip of the pen passed over the scales, it could only leave a barely noticeable mark.

Looking at himself in the pool water, the little dragon boy was not very satisfied and asked his father to apply more paint on him twice before he could finally see a red mark on his face.

He tilted his head back and said to the little mermaid, "Look, we are the same!"

The little mermaid looked at the red marks smeared on their faces, and her originally gloomy heart was like the sun suddenly dispelling the dark clouds and warming the entire field.

Flowers blossomed in his heart.

"Ah!" The little mermaid responded loudly, her tail swaying gently, and she smiled happily with her eyes narrowed.

He finally understood the meaning of what his father said yesterday: "Don't take the words of insignificant people to heart. In our hearts, you are the most beautiful." This was not just a casual consolation.

They have been telling him through their actions that no matter what he looks like, in their hearts, he is the most beautiful little mermaid.

He shouldn't make things difficult for himself and his family members who care about him because of some bad words from insignificant people.

The little mermaid straightened her chest and her blue eyes shone brightly.

Ruan Shiqing had never lied to him. Although there was a scar on her face, this little mermaid was indeed very beautiful.

When the cubs went to school, they attracted the attention of other cubs as expected.

Some cubs laughed at how ugly the red marks on their faces were.

The little dragon boy held his head high and said confidently: "What do you know? This is the honor of a man!"

"That's right! This is the badge of bravery!" Notas agreed without thinking there was anything wrong with it, and raised her little chin proudly.

Dad once said that the scar on Ruan Yuebai's face is proof of his strength.

Not every cub can survive after suffering such serious injuries.

This scar is not a mark of ugliness, but a badge of bravery.

The kids kept talking and Rong Heng rolled his eyes.

I don't know where I learned these words from.

But the nonsense of the two cubs really frightened many of the cubs. The cubs looked at each other and actually thought that what they said made sense.

Only adults have scars, and adults sometimes say they are the badges of heroes.

A hero's badge, sounds so cool!

The kids immediately forgot about yesterday's farce, and each of them was eager to try, wanting to add a "hero badge" on their bodies.

Instead, the little lion cub Mile stared at the little mermaid with a dull look on his face: "The glory of a man?"

He said stupidly: "But isn't Ruan Yuebai a girl?"

Looking at his expression, he is about to cry.

"You are the girl! Your whole family is girls!" The little dragon was the first to be unhappy. He pointed at Ruan Yuebai and said loudly: "This is my brother. Are you blind?!"

The little lion's eyes widened, tears welling up in his red eye sockets.

Finally, she couldn't help but sniffle and said with sobs: "Ke, Ke Si, he is so handsome."

The little lion's budding boyish heart shattered to the ground.

He wiped his tears, stared at the little mermaid and stretched out his hand: "You, you give me back my hair rope!"

He had spent a long time selecting it to give to the girl he liked!

The little mermaid's face turned red with embarrassment after being mistaken for a girl. He had originally been thinking of returning the hair tie to her today, so upon hearing this, he quickly took it out of his little pocket and put it in his hand.

The little lion cub ran away crying, clutching the red head rope.

The other cubs looked at his back and laughed loudly.

After sending the kids to school, Ruan Shiqing went to Fita Manor.

Marin said that the first batch of blasters had been sold to Mr. Rong, the deposit had been paid, and they would be shipped away by ship soon. Ruan Shiqing went there this time to communicate with Dares about the new requirements before he left.

——As the first big customer and with the relationship with Snowball, Ruan Shiqing attached great importance to this business, so he specially arranged a meeting with Dares at Fita Manor.

At this time, in the Fita Manor, Dares was video chatting with several colonels.

Just a few days ago, advance samples of blaster rifles were delivered to Yengeis. There were only one thousand in total, and only about three hundred were distributed among the three colonels, which was not enough even for the elite soldiers under their command.

After getting the weapons, they couldn't wait to go to the battlefield to test the weapons.

Although they had heard about the power of the blaster from Dareth, they were still surprised by its superiority during the field exercise.

Compared to the new laser gun, the blaster's accuracy is indeed not good enough. But the enemy they are facing is not others, but the Zerg!

Zerg are creatures with strong reproductive capacity, large numbers, large size, thick skin, and extremely strong vitality. Even a laser gun shot to the head cannot kill them immediately, and it is likely to anger the Zerg and trigger a death counterattack.

Even the elite soldiers in the army must work as a team when dealing with Zerg and cooperate with each other to minimize casualties.

But the blaster is different from the laser gun. The energy beam it emits is accompanied by super-high temperature. This super-high temperature is ineffective against inanimate objects, but it is very useful against Zerg.

As long as the shooting is accurate enough, a single shot to the head will cause the high-temperature energy beam to instantly melt off most of the Zerg's head.

It doesn't matter if the aim is not good enough. Although the Zerg have thick skin and flesh, they are not made of steel. They can also feel pain. The damage caused by the blaster is undoubtedly double the damage.

After testing the power of the blaster, several colonels learned that they had reached a long-term and stable cooperation with Master Ruan. They called Dares at the same time and began to make demands.

"The blaster is still not powerful enough. Can we mass-produce blaster cannons? Imagine that when there is an insect tide, we can roll out a bunch of blaster cannons and have a feast of roasted insects!"

The speaker was the captain of the Moira, Colonel Mellor.

She is the only female among the five captains. Her strength is second only to Asman and Dares who died in the line of duty. She is known as the "God of Death" on the battlefield.

"I can barely afford a blaster rifle, and you dare to dream of a blaster cannon?"

Captain Shaw of the Minotaur was incredulous. He pushed Mellar away and squeezed forward, his face almost sticking to the camera: "I'm different. I'm not greedy at all. Just give me blasters, just this amount." He stretched out five fingers and kept shaking them in front of the camera.

Dares was dazzled by him: "Five thousand?"

Xiao Yi looked like you were kidding: "Fifty thousand!"

Dares: “…”

After a moment of silence, he ignored Xiao Yi who was talking loudly: "Next, hurry up, Master Ruan will be here soon."

"Why do we have to make our demands to you? We can also communicate directly with Master Ruan." The captain of the Prometheus, Jasper, expressed his dissatisfaction.

????

You guys are asking for 50,000 blaster rifles. Won't you scare Master Ruan away?

Dares rolled his eyes, pretending to cut off the call, and urged, "Five minutes left, hurry up!"

The three captains had to accept the reality and put forward their own demands.

They had no idea what was going on, but Dares was very confident. He deleted all the unreasonable and unthinkable requests, and only handed over the ones that seemed to be not a big problem to Ruan Shiqing.

After reading the demand form, Ruan Shiqing said, "Actually, I have never seen a real Zerg. If possible, can you transport a few Zerg corpses to Planet B3024?"

Since it is a weapon against Zerg, we naturally have to understand the structure of Zerg first.

"Is this your only request?" Dares was flattered to see that he had no other request.

After all, every time we submit requirements or new weapons test reports to the military's weapons research institute, we are inevitably ridiculed and mocked by the institute's mechanics. They think that the military does not understand weapons design at all and that the requirements they put forward are just empty talk.

Generally speaking, if two out of ten requirements are adopted and implemented, it is considered very good.

The generals in the frontline regions have always been quite dissatisfied with the military's weapons research institutes. Many times, if it weren't for the purpose of fleecing the military, they would rather place orders directly from several arms giants.

A mechanic like Master Ruan who accepts everything and has a good temper is simply a treasure of the empire!

"One more thing." Ruan Shiqing handed him a test feedback form: "After the first batch of blasters are put into use, give me feedback on the test results as soon as possible, so that I can make improvements and adjustments before the next batch of blasters are produced."

What else can Dares say?

He could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice, while in his heart he was flattering and praising Master Ruan crazily!

…

After finishing the interview with Dares, Ruan Shiqing said goodbye and left, and happened to run into Shen Wuzhu on his way out.

"Mr. Ruan, I heard that your lost cub was found? Congratulations."

"Yes." Thinking of the little one at home, Ruan Shiqing's smile became more genuine: "I'm sorry that I couldn't attend the last mutual aid meeting."

Shen Wuzhu had given him an invitation to the mutual aid association before, but Snowball just happened to be missing. He was busy looking for the cubs everywhere and had no time to concentrate, so naturally he did not go in the end.

"It's a voluntary activity, Mr. Ruan, don't worry about it." Shen Wuzhu waved his hand and said, "However, you couldn't attend that day, and many members were very sorry. They have been asking me to find an opportunity to arrange another party and invite you to a small gathering. I just don't know if you are free?"

Ruan Shiqing was not a person who worked in isolation. He also knew the importance of connections. Hearing this, he did not reject the olive branch that Shen Wuju extended again. He smiled and said, "I have time recently."

"Then let's meet up in the next two days. I'll set the time and place and invite Mr. Ruan to get together again." Shen Wuju said.

Ruan Shiqing agreed readily, and after exchanging a few words with him, he said goodbye and left.

Instead of going home immediately, he took a detour to the underground market.

The underground market is very mobile and there are all kinds of people. He originally wanted to find out if there was any way to cure the scar on the little mermaid's face, but he didn't expect to run into the familiar stall owner in a corner again.

When the other party saw him, his expression suddenly became much more enthusiastic, and he greeted him: "Mr. Ruan, I have a lot of new goods here, would you like to take a look?"

Ruan Shiqing did not go over immediately, but looked at him from a distance of several meters.

The man was wrapped in an inconspicuous brown cloak, with a thin figure and a very young face, no more than 30 years old. The look on his face when he greeted him was genuine and warm, without any falsehood.

It seems that there is no problem.

But when you think about 09 having self-awareness and the dragon eggs mixed in with the rock crystals...if this is all coincidence, it's really too much of a coincidence.

For a moment he was unsure whether he was being too suspicious.

Seeing that he didn't move, the other party called him again. Ruan Shiqing thought about it and walked towards the inconspicuous stall.
