Ruan Shiqing sent the Xiong brothers home, and then went to Luther's house to tell him that the shuttle racing car had been modified and he could come for a test drive tomorrow.
After the test drive, the various data of the car are adjusted to the optimal level according to Luther's driving habits. The modification of the shuttle racing car is completed and the final step of painting can be carried out.
There were only four days left until the shuttle race.
In order to show his trust, Luther had never visited Ruan Shiqing's shop to check the progress. As the competition date approached, he became more and more anxious. The hyena neighbor next door had already ridiculed him several times.
He responded confidently in front of others, but he couldn't help feeling nervous behind their backs.
It was not until he saw the racing car parked at the doorstep that he finally felt relieved.
"All modified?"
Luther walked around the car and found that compared to the beginning, there were only six more air guides on the main turbine air intake, two more display screens and two joysticks in the cockpit. The rest of the car didn't look much different from before.
"You and I will go test drive the car tomorrow. Once the final adjustments are completed, we can repaint it."
"Need to paint again?" Luther was slightly stunned.
"Since we are participating in a competition, we should be more formal." Ruan Shiqing patted the mottled body of the chariot: "You can think carefully about what pattern to draw on the chariot tonight."
Each Podracer is sprayed with a striking logo, which is the driver's code name. It is also for the convenience of spectators at the race site to lock on to their favorite cars and drivers.
The two agreed on a time, and Luther thanked Ruan Shiqing again and again before sending him away.
The hyena neighbor just came out at this time, looked at the racing car that had not changed much and laughed: "Luther, are you sure your racing car has been modified? Why does it look the same as before? Did you get cheated?"
Luther was actually confused, but he believed that Ruan Shiqing would not lie to him. He imitated Ruan Shiqing's calmness and glanced at his neighbor, mocking him back: "Really? Maybe you are blind? How about I check your eyes for you?"
Seeing his malicious expression, the neighbor instinctively took a few steps back, but still refused to admit defeat: "Just wait, your odds will definitely be the highest this year. I hope you and your car can fight for it and not come in last place."
After saying that, he ran away.
Ruan Shiqing returned home, parked the racing car, and then said hello to the little mermaid in the pond.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"Ah!" The little mermaid pointed to the empty tube on the mushroom storage rack. Her tail swayed lightly, raising small splashes of water.
"So good." Ruan Shiqing touched his head and praised him habitually, then asked: "Do you want to go upstairs now?"
It was already afternoon, and it was almost time for the little mermaid to go upstairs to rest.
the little mermaid responded and opened her hands to him.
Ruan Shiqing wrapped him in a large bath towel and held him in his arms.
He weighed it again and said with a smile, "It seems a little heavier than before. Has it grown bigger?"
The little mermaid shook her head and leaned against his arms, holding the little duck.
He doesn't want to grow up.
When I grow up I don't have a dad anymore.
Ruan Shiqing did not carry him upstairs immediately, but went to the kitchen to take a look. When he saw that the nutrient solution on the windowsill was gone and there was a radiator instead, the corners of his mouth curled up.
He asked 09 to put away the radiator. As before, he placed three tubes of nutrient solution on the windowsill, and wrote "This is a thank you gift" on one of the tubes.
Then he carried the little mermaid upstairs.
Hearing the footsteps, Rong Heng, who was lying on the windowsill, turned around to look, but when he saw that he was still holding the little mermaid in his arms, he turned his head away in disgust.
Are all mermaid babies so clingy
No wonder there are so few mermaids who can fight now.
If it is a Ymir cub, at this age it has already started to develop combat awareness and learn various courses.
I will never be so squeamish.
Ruan Shiqing put the little mermaid into the wooden barrel, and saw the puppy squatting alone on the windowsill, not even looking over here, and couldn't help wondering.
It wasn't like this before.
He picked up the puppy and rubbed it, pinched the tips of his ears, and asked the puppy the same questions he had just asked the little mermaid.
But the puppy obviously wouldn't respond to him like the little mermaid, so Ruan Shiqing had to reach out and touch it himself.
Rong Heng's resistance was futile and he could only put on a stern face and let him touch him.
My belly is a little flat.
"I didn't eat well again."
Ruan Shiqing took the nutrition and medicine, and first fed him a tube of nutrition to make his flat belly swell up. Then he began to apply medicine to his abdomen - because he was busy recently, this work was usually done by 09.
The puppy's recovery ability is amazing. The wound on his abdomen that was so hideous at the beginning has now only a layer of scab. The medicine applied now can promote the growth of new flesh and eliminate scars at the same time. When the scab falls off naturally and the new flesh of the wound grows fur, it will be completely healed.
After he finished applying the medicine, Rong Heng quickly rolled over from his legs, glared at Ruan Shiqing, and ran away quickly.
This kind of behavior of casually touching someone's belly is not good.
In other words, he is tolerant and generous, so he doesn't care.
After playing with the kids for a while, it was getting dark. Ruan Shiqing drank two tubes of nutrition supplements as dinner, read for two hours, and then took a shower and went to bed early.
He has to go out with Luther tomorrow.
Two moons cast silver spots outside the window. In the living room, the little mermaid slept soundly in the water, holding the little duck. The mermaid's tail swayed unconsciously, disturbing the moonlight on the water. In the bedroom, Ruan Shiqing occupied half of the pillow and slept soundly. On the other half of the pillow, there was a small white ball.
The intelligent computer that was taken down and placed on the bedside kept flashing. Rong Heng opened his eyes, glanced at the sleeping person, and then walked away with the flashing intelligent computer as if he was familiar with the place.
Arriving in the living room, Rong Heng put on his smart brain: "What's the matter?"
A calm female voice sounded, and Noah said concisely: "Colonel Dares sent a text message saying that the person you wanted has arrived at Planet B3024 and asked for your next instructions."
People arrived faster than he expected.
Rong Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Let the other party stay where they are. I will contact him when needed."
Noah conveyed the message to Dares, and seeing that Rong Heng had not yet logged off, he said, "Your Highness is about to leave, do you want to say hello to Mr. Ruan?"
After observing him for a while, she had a good impression of Mr. Ruan. There were very few people who could be so considerate and caring to an auxiliary robot like him.
When she occasionally had free time, she could always hear the nagging little robot 09 praising its master crazily.
"No need. It won't do him any good to know my identity. I will find a suitable opportunity to leave."
It's not a good thing to have anything to do with him at this time.
Rong Heng closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "The high-speed shuttle race will be held on planet B3024 soon. It will be the busiest and most chaotic at that time. We can take advantage of the chaos to leave. You should contact the person who will pick you up first."
"Yes, Your Highness." Noah responded, but his tone was a little regretful: "Do you still need me to continue to guide Mr. Ruan? Last time I took him to the Mechanics Association, he seemed very satisfied there."
Rong Heng was puzzled: "Mechanics Association? What did you take him there for? How did you get in?"
In his impression, the holy tower of the Mechanics Association was not a place that could be entered and exited casually.
"Mr. Ruan wanted to join the Machinist Forum," Noah explained, "but he was not certified by the Machinist Association, so I hacked into the Machinist Association's system and fabricated a legitimate identity for him."
She said with some pride: "You know, I was once the AI of Her Majesty the Queen, and I have the highest authority in the entire holographic network."
Rong Heng: …
He took a deep breath and managed to maintain his ladylike demeanor: “Noah, sometimes you are not as reliable as you sound.”
If I remember correctly, he just asked her to guide the other party to understand some basic knowledge.
Noah was puzzled: "Are you expressing dissatisfaction with my voice? My voice was set by Her Majesty the Queen. It is said that a mezzo-soprano voice will sound more stable. If you don't like it, I can also switch to another voice." After saying that, she immediately switched to a crisp girl's voice and said crisply: "Do you think this is okay?"
Rong Heng: …
He completely gave up communicating with Noah. It was already dark and it was too late to say anything.
"Don't let him be discovered by the Mechanics Association." This was all he could say in the end.
"Of course, I have erased all traces, and there will be no sign of abnormality." Noah switched back to the mezzo-soprano voice, sounding very steady and reliable: "Mr. Ruan should be very satisfied with my service."
After successfully joining the Machinists Association, he never looked for information again.
The Machinists Association's database has it all!
Rong Heng didn’t really want to chat with Ms. AI for the time being, so he simply logged off, changed back into his cub form, and returned to his bedroom with the smart brain in his mouth.
The person who was sleeping soundly was unaware of this. He had his eyes closed, his breathing was steady, and his expression was peaceful.
Compared to when they first met, her body is much fuller, her brows and eyes are fully relaxed, and she has an unstoppable sharpness.
In ancient human language, there is a phrase called "a pearl covered in dust".
Today's young man is like a gem covered with dust.
Now, the dust on this precious pearl is being wiped off. In time, it will surely shine brightly.
Without his help, the other party can also work hard to absorb nutrients and grow rapidly.
His departure actually meant less trouble for the young man.
Rong Heng put the smart computer away, lay down on the empty half of the pillow, stared at the sleeping person for a while, and then closed his eyes.
The next morning, Ruan Shiqing and Luther went out to test drive the car.
The little mermaid was basking in the sun in the small pond in the yard, while the little robot 09 occupied the other side of the yard, mixing the quick-drying paint that would be needed later.
Rong Heng watched from the window on the second floor. After making sure that Ruan Shiqing would not turn back halfway, he changed into human form, slowly straightened his collar, and jumped out of the back window on the second floor.
—Before leaving, he must make all preparations.
All this was seen by Nota, the little fox hiding in the vines and observing secretly.
She watched Rong Heng leave, and after making sure that there was no one else in the house, she grunted and dragged the newly found parts and climbed up to the kitchen windowsill with familiarity.
The kitchen window was never closed, as if it was left open specially for her.
After seeing the nutrient supplement on the windowsill and the words on it, Nota became more certain of his guess.
After placing the parts neatly on the windowsill, Nota picked up the nutrient with satisfaction, and the big tail behind him swayed happily.
These days are her happiest time.
She sat on the windowsill, swinging her legs leisurely in a rare moment. She finished a tube of nutritional supplement, then put away the empty tube and prepared to leave.
Just as I jumped off the windowsill, I suddenly heard a bang coming from the kitchen behind me.
Nota paused, turned back, held onto the windowsill, and secretly peeked inside with his eyes.
The banging sounds continued, and seemed to come from the cold storage room.
But she had been there once before. The temperature inside was very low, and there were many nutrients stored, but no living things.
Who is knocking on the door
