In Cheng Che's confused eyes, Jing Yuan finally pointed his finger in the direction of the Gongzao Division, "The craftsmen in the Gongzao Division have been swinging their hammers until they are smoking. They have been forging continuously to consume only one tenth of the broken arrow you picked up."
The whole Luofu was filled with smoke and chaos, but the blood was boiling!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cheng Che spread his hands, his face expressionless, his light amber eyes full of innocence, "Is it my fault?"
Jing Yuan took a deep breath and held his forehead with his head in pain, "I've been a general for a day..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Xuan quickly picked up a small snack that Xing had taken out of his pocket and stuffed it into Jing Yuan's mouth. He said with a cold and serious look, "I don't really want to take the position of general now!"
"Ahem..." Jing Yuan coughed softly, almost choking to death on the dry snack. "Murder!"
"I thought you guys were planning to murder me." Fu Xuan sneered, waved his hand, turned and left, "I still have official business to attend to, General, you should think about it yourself--"
Before he could finish his sentence, Jing Yuan raised his brows and reached out to grab Fu Xuan's sleeve and shook it.
Fu Xuan lowered his eyes and met Jing Yuan's gaze, "Hmm?"
"Two nameless guests came to ask me to go to the Black Tower Space Station for a visit." Jing Yuan curved his eyes and smiled playfully, "I'll have to ask Fu Qing for the next official business. Fu Qing will help me with this, right? You don't want to see General Shen Ce's hair turn gray due to overwork, right?"
Fu Xuan:......
Go and act like a spoiled child to your master!
Fu Xuan's eyes swept over Jing Yuan's long white hair and sneered, "Don't think that I can't predict without the Qiongguan Formation. I clearly saw you secretly modifying Luofu's information in the middle of the night and blacking out all the photos and information about you!"
Jing Yuan's pair of light golden eyes curved into a gentle arc, "I've been working overtime for hundreds of years..."
Fu Xuan closed his eyes, walked to the side and pulled open the curtain, revealing three figures lying on the table frantically correcting official documents, "What? Three people are not enough to share your official duties?!"
Behind the curtain, Xiao Qinglong, who disappeared after breakfast, had a cold face. He grabbed his hair and stared at the document in his hand with a bitter and resentful look. On his left and right, the white-haired woman and the long-haired man had frowns on their faces. They were also bitter and resentful because of the overtime work and were about to lose their evil spirits.
Cheng Che stepped back an inch and muttered, "It's not my fault."
Chapter 508 Do you want to eat?
At the Black Tower Space Station, the staff members were walking hurriedly.
The black-haired woman walked slowly against the flow of people, and after a long time she stopped at the door of an empty breeding room.
When I opened the door and went in, I saw three unknown guests sitting on three toilets facing each other, frowning and thinking about the serious topic of why toilets should face each other.
Noticing the movement at the door, Xing quickly turned around, his eyes lit up, "Ruan Mei, you're here?"
Hearing this, the woman nodded slightly.
She walked to the table, and after thinking for a moment, she still did not choose the toilet that Xing had vacated. She just pulled over a stool and sat down. Then she raised her eyes and scanned everyone in front of her with a cold gaze.
A lazy white-haired man, a cold little curly-haired young man, and a sloppy pioneer.
After thinking for a while, Ruan Mei looked at the various snacks on the table and finally explained, "I think I owe you an explanation."
Hearing this, several eyes turned to Ruan Mei.
Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows, crossed his legs and hugged his little pet. He looked up and down at Ruan Mei and then retracted his gaze. He hugged the cat and stroked it slowly, his fingertips touching the smooth fur and the tip of the tail. He didn't want to worry about the conversation between the two pioneers and a genius at all.
He, Jing Yuan, the pendant of the Starry Sky Train, why should he think so much?
He finally got out to play, couldn’t he take a break?
"Yeah." Xing glanced at Cheng Che, folded his hands on the table, propped up his chin and looked at Ruan Mei, his eyes full of confusion, "Actually, I'm a little angry too."
Although not as vindictive as Cheng Che, anyone would be angry after being cheated twice for no reason.
Hearing this, Ruan Mei nodded, hesitated for a moment before formally explaining, "How should I explain it? Sorry, I don't know how to communicate with people."
Ruan Mei lowered her eyes, her voice was cold and calm, "Regarding the thing you encountered in the petri dish... Trapped in time and place, its life organization can only be considered a semi-finished product. I reproduced the moment of its birth, but soon, it will turn into particles and dissipate."
"Oh, it will die even if we don't fight it, right?" Xing nodded suddenly, tilted his head and looked at Ruan Mei, waiting for her next words, "So... a short life?"
"Yes, a short life should also have meaning. I want to know what it can do. This represents how far I have come in the field I don't understand." Ruan Mei's eyes became distant, and her tone was calm as if she was stating an ordinary matter. "Now it seems that it is just an insignificant step, and the answer is the same as I expected."
Hearing this, Xing frowned, "But it almost ate us."
"Sorry, it's another failed experiment. I've failed many times..." Ruan Mei frowned slightly, sighed softly, and then continued: "I created a replica, but it is still far from the distance of the envoy."
Xing blinked, looked at Ruan Mei's face carefully, then turned to look at Cheng Che. After hesitating for a moment, Xing whispered, "Actually, you don't have to hide anything from me. You pay me and I'll do things for you. If we get along and become friends, I can choose to take the truth-regurgitating agent by myself, and I'm also willing to go deep into the petri dish to face the danger and record some data for you before it annihilates."
Ruan Mei was slightly startled, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Is it still possible to do this?
Xing met Ruan Mei's gaze and nodded heavily, "You can trust me. Even if you don't trust me, we can be more honest when we work together."
Ruan Mei was silent, her fingertips touching the edge of the pastry plate on the table, "I..."
Xing couldn't help but touch the back of his head, quietly moved closer to Cheng Che, and lowered his voice, "Have you calmed down?"
"What about you?" Cheng Che asked back, looking down at the toilet under his butt, then looking at the food on the table. For a moment, he felt like he was actually a little crazy.
What combination?!
Who eats snacks while sitting on the toilet?!
Xing thought about it, shook her head and nodded, "I'm not angry, I just have a... very strange feeling."
Cheng Che's eyes swept across Xing's cheek and nodded, "Just because I heard this explanation doesn't mean I can calm down, nor does it mean I can have no grudges when we work together next time."
At this point, Cheng Che leaned forward and looked at Ruan Mei seriously, "Are you really incapable of getting along with others? Or... you only care about your experiment and regard getting along with others as an insignificant factor that affects your research and directly eliminate it?"
Ruan Mei was startled and shook her head. "There is no difference, right?"
"There is a difference." Cheng Che responded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I actually like the transaction of paying in cash and goods. Everyone puts their chips on the table clearly. If they are willing, they can continue. If they are not willing, they can go their separate ways. The premise is that they don't use the bad chips to fish in troubled waters."
Ruan Mei raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Che, "Then... dear, have you calmed down? If not... how can I calm down?"
Cheng Che was startled, and suddenly pressed his brows, "Why do you use 'dear' as a catchphrase? Is it because you know that such a name will make people unconsciously let down their guard?"
It was just like the smiling capitalist I met before I traveled through time, calling you "baby" all the time. The words were clearly meant as admonitions, but they lingered between the lips and tongue, bringing out an ambiguous whisper that made me fall into a trap unexpectedly.
Nguyen May: …
It seems so, but I seem to have gotten used to it.
Ruan Mei tilted her head in confusion, "So...how can you calm down?"
Cheng Che thought about it and shook his head, "I'm calmed down, but I'm not calmed down. Next time you ask Xing and I for help, we'll need to raise the price. Do you understand?"
Ruan Mei nodded thoughtfully, but her eyes were always wandering on the snacks in front of her.
Ever since meeting Cheng Che, I haven't had any snacks.
The snack was clearly placed neatly on the plate, but the moment he approached with a fork or spoon, it turned into a spirit, twisting and turning, and would rather roll on the ground than be eaten.
Even if Ruan Mei bent down and wanted to eat it directly, she would roll away with a snap. Now...
These snacks from the Star Train trash can look really delicious...
Xing secretly looked at Ruan Mei's face, then looked at the twinkling light in Cheng Che's eyes, hesitated for a moment and moved closer to Jing Yuan, "Do you think you have really calmed down?"
Jing Yuan lifted his eyelids and took a look, then said decisively, "No."
I just doubted that he had been screwed like this before he even took action. The genius in front of him who had taken action...
It would be a miracle if she could calm down, not to mention that Ruan Mei had drugged Cheng Che's friend.
Cheng Che held the spoon expressionlessly and picked a portion of almond tofu from the table.
He scooped up a piece with a long-handled spoon and handed it to Ruan Mei's lips. His light brown eyes were extremely clear. "Sister, there might be medicine in the snack that I put in casually, so..."
"Will you eat? If you eat, I'll calm down."
Chapter 509 is so fierce.
Ruan Mei raised her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her, her gaze falling on his clear amber eyes.
The young man held a spoonful of dessert steadily in his palm, his eyes were slightly raised at the corners, but his lower eyelids drooped slightly, making him look as pitiful as a dog, but this pitiful look was inexplicably suppressed by his cold expression, leaving only coldness.
Ruan Mei was silent for a moment, leaned forward slightly, and swallowed the spoonful of dessert.
The cool and smooth almond-flavored dessert is dipped in a little osmanthus honey, and the sweetness neutralizes the unique astringency of almonds. It melts in your mouth, leaving only a lingering mellow fragrance in your mouth.
Ruan Mei licked her lips involuntarily, but before she could say anything, a hand covered her mouth.
The young man had a cold face but a serious look in his eyes. He held a handkerchief in his hand and carefully wiped off the osmanthus honey on the corner of the woman's lips.
Cheng Che stepped back a little, crumpled up the napkin and stuffed it into the takeout bag used for garbage, and once again resumed his expressionless and indifferent look, "Okay."
Nguyen May: …
Although I don't understand the ways of the world very well, I feel that this situation is a bit strange no matter how I think about it.
Ruan Mei pressed the corner of her mouth and couldn't help asking, "So what kind of medicine is in the cake?"
"Maybe it's cyanide?" Cheng Che raised his eyes and spoke calmly, "But it could also be a slow-acting poison, right? But it could also be just a simple dessert."
Ruan Mei pursed her lips and moved her gaze from Cheng Che to Xingren Tofu.
I was just thinking about what kind of medicine it was and didn't taste it carefully.
Ruan Mei thought silently for a moment, and finally stood up, leaned closer to Cheng Che, and asked seriously, "Dear, are you calm?"
Cheng Che was sitting on the toilet arrogantly. He looked up and met Ruan Mei's gaze. After thinking for a while, he nodded, "Forget it, but when I go to sleep at night, I might think about who offended me many years ago, and get up in the middle of the night to take revenge, so..."
At this point, Cheng Che seemed to laugh, stretched out his hand and rubbed the plump and round pearl necklace on Ruan Mei's neck with his fingertips, "Ms. Ruan Mei, you must be careful in the future. You may not be able to eat snacks and have to be on guard against me. After all... I appear and disappear mysteriously, right?"
Ruan Mei lowered her eyes to look into Cheng Che's eyes and nodded, "I understand. I'll take my leave now. I look forward to our next cooperation. I will formally invite you all."
After saying this, Ruan Mei looked at Cheng Che deeply, glanced at the various snacks on the table, then turned and left. However, her back did not look happy at all.
Cheng Che sat on the toilet with his legs crossed, watching Ruan Mei leave through the lenses, and after a while he made a sound that sounded like laughter.
He looked away, changed his spoon and continued eating his snack.
The gray-haired girl came over and looked up at Cheng Che, "Are you really calm?"
"Hmm?" Cheng Che glanced at Xing, hesitated for a moment, and pushed the plate in his hand over. "Just calm down. Anyway, she didn't drug me. I just... I said that the drug was to seduce her. There was a snack in front of her and someone fed it to her, but her mind was completely focused on the medicine in the pastry, so she didn't have a chance to taste it. Wait for her to go back and think about it carefully..."
At this point, Cheng Che seemed very satisfied, "I woke up from my dream in the middle of the night with a broken heart, holding my chest and regretting that I missed the opportunity to taste Chinese food..."
As soon as the words fell, the expression on Xing's face suddenly became weird.
The gray-haired girl tilted her head and looked at Cheng Che. After a long silence, she finally nodded, "Okay, this is your style, but can't Ruan Mei really make a small feeding robot for herself? I think it's very convenient for her to do this kind of thing."
"Sure, but the little machine will short-circuit, and if she wants to create a new life creature..." Cheng Che paused, and couldn't help raising his hand to rub his ears, "Given her personality, she won't cultivate a creature that is doomed to fail just for the function of feeding. Even if she does... she can't help but want to add some more successful ideas into it. At that time... wouldn't that still deviate from the original idea?"
