Chapter 113 [Two in One] Akivelli, you...
The journey of exploration never stops, and a temporary stop is just a sign that things are not resolved.
For example, cleaning up the mess for a certain insane star god.
Akivali said they were star gods, but in fact their behavior was not much different from that of humans.
At least the traits he displayed were no different from those of ordinary people: he would eat at the right time and sleep at the right time.
In this respect, Lu Qi, who is also a non-human, is similar to Him.
However, compared to Achievelli who would occasionally forget to disguise himself because of excessive excitement, Lu Qi's human behavior seemed to be engraved in his bones.
I go to bed when it gets dark and feel hungry when I wake up.
Sounds normal and cute, right?
But what if you eat without restraint?
"You've taken all the money I earned!" Akivelli rummaged through his empty wallet and wailed, "I still want to go to the amusement park..."
Akivali was treating us today, so Lu Qi ordered a large table of food without hesitation and started eating voraciously.
She looks small, but in fact, the dragon form is not small. Even though she can adjust her body posture, she is different now.
When it comes to appetite, you can eat as much as you want.
Actually, you won’t starve to death if you don’t eat... But it doesn’t matter, just eat it. Liking to eat is also a skill!
"Where did you get the money?" Lu Qi swallowed the food in his mouth and complained slowly, "Didn't you use it all for compensation?"
"I made the money by selling some photos online," Akivalli answered honestly. "I didn't want to do it, but they paid too much."
Hearing this, Lu Qi stopped.
She suddenly looked up at Akivali. The gray-haired star god was still playing with his cell phone, with a half-drunk glass of malt juice next to him.
"Is this why you took pictures of me the other day?!"
"Haha... How could that be?" Akivali put away his phone and chuckled. "Of course I also want to collect it..."
I thought it was just a simple way to make a killing from Akivali, but I didn't expect that I would be tricked by him after just a short while.
What pioneering star god? Why not change the name to the joyful star god? Even Aha didn’t make her so angry!
...No, Aha didn't spend much time with her, so we can't make a comparison like that.
Never mind!
"You sold my photos for money, so you should give me a share, right?! Why did you keep it all for yourself—"
"I don't have any money to share with you...you've already eaten it all by yourself."
"This is your treat, can it be the same?"
Xiaobailong always has his own reasons, and there is no problem with the logic.
Akivelli was left with a heavy debt and a desolate look on his face as his cell phone was confiscated.
The pioneering star god has a strange destiny power and his own thoughts. Of course, he is not an old antique who knows nothing.
He is incredibly adaptable to modern technology products. There are even many instruments that Lu Qi cannot understand, but he can get the hang of them after just a few glances.
In Akivalli's words, this is probably a conceptual "understanding", like a skill that comes with an upgrade, which is enviable.
But think about it, the Star God’s life is bound by fate and he can only act according to the will of fate.
Just like the Pharmacist of Plenty, He only travels to those worlds filled with "diseases" to grant them healing and longevity.
The patrolling star god Mist, following behind the pharmacist, is determined to eliminate all diseases of immortality, even at the cost of destroying civilization.
When Lu Qi was resurrected in the Luofu Immortal Boat, he also saw some historical materials.
Several decades before her resurrection, the Third War of Plenty broke out, and the Yuque Immortal Boat was affected, causing the death of both friend and foe because of the summoning of the star god's bows and arrows.
Now, the Akivali before her had an extremely high degree of freedom. He was essentially bound by fate and needed to constantly explore, but to this extent he had an extremely high degree of freedom.
Sometimes, too much freedom is not a good thing.
Of course, this is for other people, especially other unknown guests.
The interactions between the unknown guests and Akivali are quite interesting, mainly in terms of the relationships between them.
Akivelli is a star god, his power of destiny supporting the entire journey, an indispensable existence. However, his behavior is like the "price" of using this power of destiny, requiring the nameless guests to bear the blame for his wild ideas.
Lu Qi thought about the positions of both parties and chose to join Akivali and become the one causing trouble.
"Do you see what's wrong?" Achievelli saw Lu Qi holding his phone for a long time without moving, so he leaned over and asked her, "I didn't lie about my income... I really finished it for you!"
"You're selling it too cheap," Lu Qi said seriously. "Look at the comments under your account. They're all questioning you. They think you used AI to create it."
"That's too much... I was hoping for small profits but quick turnover."
"Some people even accused you of violating the guests' portrait rights."
“Is there something wrong with me taking pictures of myself?”
"It's not like no one thinks you're the real one... but they don't quite believe it."
In the eyes of the residents of this planet, the aliens who have descended from outer space like gods are different beings. They are friendly and do not ask for anything in return. The country should treat them as distinguished guests... How could they be so short of money that they would sell their own photos!
It must be fake!
"It doesn't matter. As long as someone buys it, that's all that matters." Akivali's attention was elsewhere. "I really don't have much money... How about we set a higher price?"
Lu Qi turned off his phone and reached out to knock on Akivelli's head.
"No," she said, "I'll ask the navigator for pocket money."
"Ah, this," Akivali suddenly felt guilty. "I've already asked her for it. I have your copy here too."
“………………Where’s the money?”
“…Yeah, it’s all gone.”
Lu Qi looked at Him calmly.
The star god with gray hair and golden eyes blinked innocently and stayed where he was motionless.
Even when Lu Qi suddenly attacked him and grabbed his neck and shook him, he simply bent down to allow her to get on top.
Alas, where can I find a star god as obedient as him who allows himself to be beaten or scolded?
"Where did you go?!"
"I bought 500 Gem Crystal Lizards... Ugh, where did you ask me to put them? I sent them back to the train."
Lu Qi took a breath.
The Gem Crystal Lizard is a unique animal on this planet. It is not small in size and its entire body is covered with tumor-like gem crystals.
These lizards live in underground minerals and coexist with gemstones. When they were first discovered, they became popular pets because they carried gemstones.
Finally, scientists determined that the purity of these gems was not high, and because they were too broken, they were not worth making into jewelry.
Nowadays, pet dealers have accumulated a large number of gem crystal lizards. It seems that those businessmen have found a sucker who paid the price for it.
but--
"Why buy 500 when you can just buy one?!"
"It's just that one would be too lonely... and it's cheaper to buy them in a package," Akivali said matter-of-factly. "Don't you think they're adorable? They actually eat gems... that's amazing!"
"...Just wait. I'm going to tell the navigator that it will be your turn to eat the gem soon."
So cruel!
Akivali looked at her accusingly.
"How could you bear it? The Gem Crystal Lizards are so cute..."
"Die, reptile!"
"Aren't you also—"
"If you dare to call dragons reptiles, you will die along with the gem crystal lizards."
Akivali raised his hands in surrender.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"snort."
Lu Qi snorted coldly, but still did not change his mind and reported to the navigator.
The navigator sent out three exclamation marks in a row, and her surging anger could be seen between the lines.
She even sent a voice message.
[Navigator: Akivalli is with you, right?]
[Navigator: Turn on the voice and let Him hear me.]
Lu Qi did as he was told and quickly put two balls of water mist into his ears to reduce the audible volume.
Then, she clicked on the roar sent by Miss Navigator.
"Achivelli, get back here and deal with your damn pets!!!"
Akivelli was shocked by the sudden roar and showed a pitiful expression. He took Lu Qi's phone and replied to the message at a rapid speed.
Lu Qi watched from the side to see what He had posted.
[Little White Dragon is not Little White Snake: Just keep it for now, I'll take care of it!]
The navigator was so angry that she stopped typing and continued to send voice messages.
"[Expletive*mouth], they're drilling around everywhere and have already eaten up all the minerals in one section of the carriage! Pam and I have no choice but to abandon this section of the carriage and seal off the passage. If you don't deal with it, I'll stuff you into the carriage and launch you and your gem crystal lizard into space!"
"How could that be... I clearly locked them all up."
Akivali was puzzled, but there was nothing he could do.
The navigator lady has a good temper, but now she looks very angry.
During this expedition, only she and Pam stayed on the train to avoid any special situations.
I didn't expect that no matter how careful I was, I couldn't guard against a thief within my own family. The one causing trouble turned out to be my own star god, and I could only swallow my blood and tears by myself.
Lu Qi finished the food on the table and drank the grape juice with a gloating look on his face.
She watched with interest as Akivali made a grimace and drank his beer in one gulp.
Some of the clear yellow liquid remained hanging on the wall of the cup, and the unmelted ice cubes made crisp clanging sounds on the glass.
"Come on, clean up the mess, Big Brother Star God, you owe me a lot of money," Lu Qi said sarcastically, the straw she was biting flattened by her sharp teeth, "I'll wait here - what are you doing?!"
Akivelli held Lu Qi in his arms before she could finish her words.
What a familiar posture, what a familiar picture.
It is obvious that the pioneering star god does not think that this is just his own business.
"Let's go back together," Akivali said matter-of-factly, "and see what trouble those little creatures have caused me."
"Just go back by yourself, why bring me with you?!"
Lu Qi protested dissatisfiedly. She reached out to push Akivali's waist, but the gray-haired star god remained unmoved.
"Hmm... well," He scratched his cheek guiltily, "I locked the Gem Crystal Lizard in your room."
Lu Qi: “………………”
Lu Qi: “???”
"Achivelli! Are you sick?!"
***
Lu Qi was taken back cursing all the way.
On the way, she kept pulling at Akivali's arm and bit his forearm fiercely when he held her to prevent her from escaping.
Akivelli even felt uncomfortable with her biting through his clothes, so he rolled up his sleeves and looked at her with anticipation.
Lu Qi: “…………”
I feel so unhappy. I always feel like I'm being treated like a puppy.
When we returned to the train, the navigator and Pam were standing on either side of the door, with very similar angry faces.
Miss Navigator is a lop-eared rabbit, and like Pam, she has long, drooping ears.
She crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her arm impatiently with her index finger many times. When she saw Akivali coming over, she immediately made an unhappy "tsk" sound.
"Are you willing to come back?"
"Well, didn't you say it was an emergency..." Akivelli said softly. He released Lu Qi's arm and expertly dodged a punch from Little White Dragon. He even had time to shake her fist while speaking, "How's the situation?"
"Both sides of the carriage have been blocked," Pam said unhappily. "To prevent the situation from escalating, the quantum chain has been activated. Now the carriage has derailed and is hanging at the back."
Akivali was listening to what they said and was not paying attention for a moment. He was hit by Lu Qi's fist and the flesh on his cheek was sunken.
Therefore, the speech is unclear.
"Mmmmm, wow, it's here." He didn't have any special reaction after being hit. He just held Lu Qi's wrist and shamelessly kissed her fingers. "Stop hitting me, or I'll kiss you."
Lu Qi: “???”
"That's disgusting, let go!"
Lu Qi withdrew his hand with a look of disgust, and with a grin, began to use the Cloud Chanting Technique to wash the place where he had been kissed.
Akivelli let go of his hand without caring. After punishing the White Dragon, he finally had time to have a good chat with the navigator and Pam.
Unexpectedly, the man and the rabbit also showed expressions of disgust.
"Achivelli, what a pervert, Pa."
"Last time, I saw Him kissing the tail of the Starlinaro Snake Man from the Anolina galaxy..."
"Don't slander me, that's their etiquette, other people have kissed too!"
"You lied to them, didn't you? I still remember that you were chased across half the planet by the angry snake people," the navigator said unhappily. "They said you smashed the statue of the snake people's ancestors when you landed, and you promised to repair it, but you ended up repairing a statue of Pam instead—"
"What? Is this how Pam's statue came about, Pa!" Pam opened her eyes wide in shock.
Lu Qi's long pointed ears moved slightly.
No wonder there is still a statue of Pam in the observation car now. I thought Pam was narcissistic... Turns out it was done by this guy Achievelli.
But think about it, He is indeed Pam Jitui.
Pam's image was carved into the depression on the new planet, and an ice sculpture of Pam was also made at the ski resort.
The man and the rabbit began to madly accuse Akivali of his deeds. After cursing him to their heart's content, they kicked him out and told him to quickly deal with the gem crystal lizard that had intercepted the tail of the carriage.
Lu Qi didn't want to go at first, but her room was in that carriage, so she had to go and see what was going on.
Fortunately, the things in her room were rescued by both Miss Navigator and Pam and are currently placed in the utility room.
If the carriage could not be salvaged, they unanimously decided to requisition Achivelli's room as compensation to Lu Qi.
As for where Achivelli slept?
Who knows, maybe sleep in outer space.
The jewel crystal lizards were not bad looking, and were only about the size of a palm. Akivali seemed to like them very much, and upon meeting them, he would hold his little pets and tickle their chins.
Unfortunately, 500 were too many. They were crowded in the carriage and crawling around everywhere, which looked a bit scary.
What's even more terrifying is that they eat minerals, and things made of minerals have been eaten by them until only a shaky frame remains.
Even a hole was gnawed in the carriage.
When Miss Navigator and Pam came to see it, it was probably not there.
In other words, the Gem Crystal Lizard solved the problem of lack of ventilation in the carriage in just half an hour, and its lethality was quite astonishing.
"This gem isn't pretty either," Lu Qi said, carefully picking up the lizard's skin with two fingers and pulling it up to examine it. "There are a lot of impurities inside."
The small animal that coexisted with the gem crystal waved its claws in the air and cried pitifully several times.
The sound was very soft, but as soon as it called, the lizards next to it seemed to resonate and called out together.
500 lizards chirped at once, their overlapping sounds echoing throughout the carriage.
Lu Qi put down his hand with a headache.
"What are you going to do?"
"Hmm...how about we try grilled lizard kebabs?"
Akivali obviously felt that this thing was more troublesome than he had imagined. He originally wanted to keep it as a pet, but now it seems he has to give up this plan.
What pets? It's obvious that they have become food now.
Lu Qi poked the crystal on the little lizard.
"You don't think this is edible, do you?"
"Why not!" Akivali said confidently, "Scrape off the crystals and the meat will still be edible."
The hard flesh touched by the fingers is simply the "crystallization" of another form of existence.
Lu Qi and Akivali's teeth were fine, but the other unknown guests could only taste the food like leather.
"Or... send it back?" Lu Qi pointed to the planet outside the carriage.
This beautiful planet has given rise to their civilization, and is about to usher in a prosperous future. The mere gem crystal lizards can be sold to blind barbarians like Akivali.
"I bought all of this with my own money," Akivali said, reluctant to part with it. He squatted down among the lizards, and some fearless lizards climbed up his legs. "Is there really no other use for it?"
As the gem crystal lizards crawled at night, they dropped non-transparent crystal fragments.
The crystal fragments, like sand and gravel, spread flatly on the carpet in the carriage, making a mess of the place that Pam had cleaned so well.
The crawling lizards rolled up the debris on the ground, which gradually condensed into a small debris tornado. Countless tiny particles flew around in the carriage and finally stuck firmly to the four sides of the carriage.
If you don't look too closely, it looks pretty nice... but if Pam finds out, she'll probably yell at Akivali to clean it up.
"I think this carriage is terrible... What do you think?"
"...Well, can't we salvage it?" Achievelli said sadly, "If I abandon this carriage, Pam will deduct my pocket money."
"At this point, do you think you still have pocket money?"
Akivali said nothing and just whistled.
Escape is shameful and useless, Akivelli still has to face reality. He still tries to stuff the gem crystal lizard into the kitchen as meat, but is discovered by Pam in time.
"Achivelli, your pocket money for the next half century is gone, Pa!"
The navigator reminded from the side.
"Pam, Akivalli has already overdrawn his allowance for half a century in the last world."
"Oh right! I almost forgot, Pa. Then you won't get any pocket money for the next century!"
Akivali's resistance was in vain. The five hundred gem crystal lizards he bought were ultimately deemed unfit for cooking. Whether they were roasted or steamed, the flesh of these creatures felt like chewing leather.
Apart from him who could eat it without changing his expression, even Lu Qi was disgusted and refused to touch it.
"Please, eat with me!"
"No, I never wrong myself," Lu Qi ruthlessly rejected Akivali's request, "You can eat the leather meat yourself!"
There was no other way. In order to protect his precarious pocket money, Akivali had to send the remaining gem crystal lizards back to the planet.
He tried to sell these pets using his own account, but no one bought them.
Some people mocked Akivali on his account, saying that he had taken advantage of the popularity of the alien to start selling goods, but why did he start by selling gem crystal lizards? No one would buy such an outdated pet these days.
Everyone has started raising virtual pets.
Akivelli had no choice but to release them back into the mine.
This planet was named Yalilo by the pioneers and recorded in the think tank.
The journey to explore the planet Yalilo has come to an end, and it is time to purchase supplies and continue the journey.
There were quite a few passengers on the Starry Sky Train, and they needed a lot of supplies. Lu Qi and Achivelli were formed into a team and took on the task of purchasing food.
Originally, these two were to be separated, but Akivelli would use threats and bribes to coerce Lu Qi's team members, forcing them to act in the same group with her.
The navigator couldn't do anything about him, so she could only grit her teeth and put him into Lu Qi's group.
Before leaving, the navigator repeatedly reminded Lu Qi to keep a close eye on Akivalli and not to agree to his sudden whims.
If the food shopping went badly, her food rations for the next century would vanish, just like Achivelli's pocket money.
For this bite of food, Lu Qi went from being reluctant to being spirited.
No one could withhold her food, least of all Akivali!
I don’t know if the previous incident with the Gem Crystal Lizard was too much of a blow to Akivelli, but he has been quite well behaved recently, at least completing all the tasks assigned to him well.
After Lu Qi bought the necessary supplies, she put them into the cave she made. When facing the normal Akivelli, she always had an illusion of being uneasy.
"Achivelli, you didn't hide anything strange from me, did you?"
"How could that be?" Akivali quickly searched his pockets, showing his empty wallet. "I don't have a penny... I can't buy anything."
"You deserve it."
"Wow, wow, wow..." Akivali pretended to cry and wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes pitifully. "I want a glass of wheat juice. Can you buy me one?"
"Don't push your luck."
"Lu Qi, my lovely little white dragon, just have a drink."
Lu Qi glared at him.
"Wait, I'll go buy it."
After Lu Qi left, Akivelli stood up straight.
The star god with gray hair and golden eyes looked at the tree behind him and spoke helplessly.
"Aha, stop hiding, I see you."
