Looking at the successful data in front of him, Xia Shizhao, with his messy hair and wandering eyes, had almost exhausted himself by spending more than ten hours a day in the laboratory.
He let out a long sigh of frustration, and his eyes cleared.
I stood up, intending to go outside and get a glass of apple cider vinegar to sober up.
"It's been three months, and you still haven't done any research?"
Qin Zhu, standing at the door, frowned as she looked at Xia Shizhao, who resembled a beggar.
"?"
Xia Shizhao gave her a look as if she were crazy, and then walked past her.
I can't be bothered with her.
He never says anything nice, I don't know how Lan Yun manages to hold back.
Ignored, Qin Zhu's forehead veins bulged slightly. "I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?"
"Does hearing something mean you have to reply? That's ridiculous."
Xia Shizhao shook his head, picked up the cup, and left.
The other people on the airship were much friendlier than Qin Zhu; even the bandits who passed by Xia Shizhao greeted her.
"Shi Zhao, you finally decided to come out today!"
"Quick, let's fight!"
"How do you make that five-red-ingredient porridge? Teach me!"
"Sister Zhao, I want to eat some sweet cakes~"
Surrounded by people, Xia Shizhao waved his hand and said, "No thanks, I need to rest."
She yawned wearily, tears welling up in her eyes.
While energy-boosting drugs may be helpful, they cannot compensate for the depletion caused by intense mental exertion and excessive focus.
Feeling dizzy, Xia Shizhao took a sip of sweet and sour apple cider vinegar, which jolted him awake and made him more alert. He sighed as he looked at his dirty clothes.
I've never been this dirty in my life. I've really gone to great lengths to get home.
I hope Lan Yun keeps her promise. Well, even if she doesn't, there's nothing I can do about it.
I wanted to cry but couldn't.
Even a mecha wouldn't work. First of all, the airship is drifting in the Milky Way, and she doesn't know or is sure of its direction.
Secondly, if you encounter bandits again, having your own mecha will be useless.
In the end, she didn't need to kill all of them.
They were all pitiful children, rescued by Lan Yun from the place of human experimentation. They were not related by blood, but they were family to each other.
Some of them were rescued from human trafficking by Lan Yun and her team. They would not force the rescued children to stay here and become robbers, and they would also do good deeds to help orphans who had nowhere to go to find suitable adoptive parents.
Although robbery is immoral, they won't kill people intentionally, and they will leave something for the victims.
They are probably the most principled group of space pirates.
After spending just one month together, Xia Shizhao's opinion of them improved considerably. After all, they would even spend their own money to help remote planets that were being interfered with by the Zerg. No wonder the Star Alliance turned a blind eye to the Star Ocean Bandit Gang.
It should be noted that other space pirates commit atrocities, including burning, killing, and looting, and many of them forcibly abduct civilians, making them prime targets for the space army.
The world is not black and white, and Xia Shizhao will not comment.
After finishing her apple cider vinegar drink in one gulp, she asked the person next to her, "Where's Lan Yun?"
"Training room."
Xia Shizhao nodded, planning to go back to his room to take a shower before going to find Lan Yun.
After changing my clothes and going outside, I saw Lan Yun sprawled on the floor. "Oh, you're out~"
"...Could you please stop barging into other people's rooms all the time?"
"Hehe, we're all omegas, what's there to be afraid of~"
"!"
Xia Shizhao took a step back in shock. "When did you find out?"
"The first time I met you," Lan Yun kicked her leg, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm also an SSS-level omega, and I can hide my level."
"……No wonder."
No wonder they had to wear a mental energy suppression bracelet right from the start.
Their feelings had been exposed long ago.
Xia Shizhao forced a smile. "The things are done, and you should have tested them by now. Shouldn't you let me go back?"
"Of course, but alas, what a worry! Xia Shizhao, who are you?"
Lan Yun, who was on the ground, stood up with a jolt. "General Ye is looking for you everywhere. We haven't dared to make any rash moves lately. She wiped out a lot of space pirates by herself, and now we in Xingyang are all wanted by space pirates. We don't dare to reveal our whereabouts now."
"I don't know why General Ye would look for me." Xia Shizhao shrugged. "Maybe it's because she's my instructor and thinks I'm a promising talent."
"How narcissistic. Before you came here, you couldn't even beat the worst subordinate under my command." Lan Yun's blunt sarcasm.
"Aren't we able to win now?"
"Even at the same level, you still can't beat me!"
A decisive goal.
Xia Shizhao had nothing to say; she really couldn't beat Lan Yun.
She wasn't as ruthless as Lan Yun, who could train herself into a mangled mess.
Fighting against robots, one against a hundred, and you end up beating yourself half to death.
Go ahead and torture yourself.
Although the robot was also dismembered.
"Then tell me, how am I supposed to get back?"
“We’ll find a small planet to drop you down, give you a personal computer to call for help yourself,” Lan Yun paused, “or you can stay here and become our technicians.”
"Uh, never mind, I miss my family and friends."
In the past, Xia Shizhao might have agreed. She didn't feel a sense of belonging, and the thought of the space pirates and the Star Alliance going against them was very exciting. But unfortunately, she had too many attachments and couldn't bear to part with them.
"Hmm~ okay." Lan Yun lay back down on the ground. Her whole body ached and she didn't want to move. She usually didn't drink any potions to relieve her pain after training, unless she was going out to rob someone. Otherwise, she would drag her half-charged body to keep training and pushing herself to her limits.
"Let me see if there are any small star tubes that are relatively loose."
Lan Yun casually turned on her personal terminal.
Xia Shizhao: ...Is it appropriate to look at these things in front of me? This management system is too lax; even space pirates can control it. What are these people doing with the money?
"Yay, found it! An abandoned junk planet near Jupiter Union! It's loosely managed and has a transfer station. You can go there."
Lan Yun snapped her fingers. "OK, this is it."
Where did you get this from? And in real time?
"Qinzhu made it. I don't understand these electronic devices. She sent them to me."
"She's so irritable, I didn't expect her to be so capable."
"Of course!" Lan Yun's face was full of pride when she heard someone praise Qin Zhu.
"It's not you I'm praising, so why are you so smug?"
Xia Shizhao rolled her eyes at her.
"Praising her is praising me, no problem."
As if regaining her strength, Lan Yun finally sat up straight. "The route has been released. We will arrive at the garbage planet in two days."
"Give me some money, I don't have any to go to the transfer station." Xia Shizhao waved his hand at Lan Yun.
Bandit leader Lan Yun scratched her head awkwardly:
“I have no money. All my possessions are with Qinzhu. Go ask her for them.”
Xia Shizhao stared at her silently for a while, realizing she wasn't lying, and could only remain silent.
"...I didn't expect you to be henpecked."
"You'll be the same in the future!" Lan Yun retorted stubbornly.
Xia Shizhao stretched out his index finger and shook it: "No, I'll only make others henpecked."
"cut."
Lan Yun didn't say anything, stood up and left Xia Shizhao's room: "You should rest well, I won't disturb you anymore."
"OK."
Xia Shizhao locked the door and lay down to sleep. He was really exhausted after all this time.
