Morrie would naturally refuse his request.
For him, Ruan Shiqing is now a cash cow that needs to be worshipped and he needs to be treated with kindness. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not allow, he would even want to take over the responsibility and kidnap the person to Yanjis!
This is such a big treasure.
Mori completed the transfer and tried to keep the man for dinner. After being rejected, he enthusiastically escorted the man to the door and said, "If you need anything else, Mr. Ruan, please come to me. I will find out the news about the buyer and let you know as soon as possible."
Although she was not used to his 360-degree reversal of attitude, but Marin was so friendly, and the two had just reached a cooperation agreement, so no matter what his purpose was, Ruan Shiqing would not consider his face.
So the two of them boasted about their business for a while before Ruan Shiqing said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Marin pulled me aside and they added each other's contact information.
Mori fiddled with the intelligent brain and said happily: "This way, if there is anything in the future, we can use Shen Wuzhuo to pass on the message."
It's a pity that he is big and strong, with a ferocious face. With such a smile, he looks malicious.
Ruan Shiqing smiled perfunctorily and got on Shen Wuzhuo's land speeder.
The two chatted casually on the way. Shen Wuzhuo asked: "You also think that Marin's transformation is a bit big, right?" He shrugged: "If all the data show problems, I almost suspect that he has been replaced."
Ruan Shiqing rested his elbow on the edge of the car window, supported his chin with one hand, and said lazily: "It is quite big, but it won't do me any harm to look at it."
Shen Wuzhuo curled his lips when he heard that, and focused on driving without saying anything else.
After seeing him off at the door, he handed out an invitation: "In half a month, there will be a fellow countryman mutual aid meeting, specially held for ancient humans. If you are interested, you can come and take a look."
The invitation card is dark blue, with no embellishments other than the time and place, and is very low-key and simple.
"Mutual Aid Society?" Ruan Shiqing explained.
Shen Wuzhuo explained: "You can think of it as an ancient human exchange meeting. The leader of the mutual aid meeting is considered to be quite well-connected among the ancient humans, so he took the lead in organizing the mutual aid meeting, and the ancient humans who were invited can exchange some resources at the mutual aid meeting. There are also some ancient humans whose lives are not so good, and they also take this opportunity to seek a job. Luther also participated in it, and I met him at the mutual aid meeting."
Ruan Shiqing suddenly realized that it was very different from the "fellow townsmen association" in ancient times.
In this strange world, his fellow tribesmen gave him a sense of identity and belonging. He was willing to participate in such a benign organization.
He accepted the invitation.
After seeing Shen Wuzhu off, Ruan Shiqing transferred 350,000 star coins to Gu Feng.
Gu Feng was surprised that he had paid off the debt so quickly, and he called to confirm.
"Yes, I just concluded a business deal and received a deposit. It would be difficult for me." Ruan Shiqing said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern."
Gu Feng's tone was full of admiration: "If someone tells me that ancient humans are great again, I can use your example to refute them."
"You are not bad at all. You became the store manager so quickly. You must leave Star B3024 in the future to get better development."
He said it casually, but Gu Feng was stunned. He had never thought about this question before.
He was already very satisfied with being promoted to store manager. But Ruan Shiqing's words seemed to open another door to a wider world for him. He paused and smiled: "Thank you for your good words."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Ruan Shiqing glanced at the invitation in his hand, and asked politely: "Will you attend the mutual aid meeting next month?"
"You also received the invitation?" Gu Feng was slightly surprised at first, then he thought carefully: "That's right, you are so outstanding, you will definitely receive the invitation. I participated last year. At that time, my life was difficult, so I went with the attitude of giving it a try, and I was recommended to work here. I will go this year as well, and I can go with Mr. Ruan, and by the way, I will return the pawned explosives to you."
After hearing what he said, Ruan Shiqing's doubts were dispelled.
He cut off the communication and prepared to go in, only to notice that the door was closed.
The repair shop was open as usual today, so the door should not be closed. As soon as Ruan Shiqing walked through the door and into the yard, he felt a heavy atmosphere.
Xiong Fangfang and Xiong Yuanyuan sat on the steps, looking dejected.
The cubs gathered by the pool, all looking listless.
The little dragon cub, who would usually fly over to greet him immediately, just glanced at him this time, stammered "Dad", and lowered his head.
The little robot 09 who had just come out of the house looked at him and began to stammer: "Mr. Xianxian, you are back so early?"
Something must have gone wrong.
"What happened?" Ruan Shiqing asked.
The small golden robot froze for a moment, the red light on the display screen flashed continuously, and it stammered and spoke.
Ruan Shiqing looked at the cubs again.
Except for the puppy, the other cubs all looked timid and hung their heads.
He just turned his gaze to the Xiong brothers: "Who can tell me what happened?"
Xiong Yuanyuan swallowed nervously and tried her best to nudge Xiong Fangfang with her elbow.
Xiong Fangfang, who was highly expected by everyone, had to bite the bullet and said, "Today, three customers came to the store and said that their flying shuttle motorcycles broke down on the way and asked us to repair them. I checked for them and found that it was just that the cooling valve was blocked, which caused the engine temperature to be too high, so I helped them repair it..."
He did teach Brother Xiong how to repair the radiator valve. These were simple little questions: "And then?"
"After the repairs were completed, they paid for the repairs and took the scooter away. But they came back ten minutes later and insisted that we had damaged its engine and wanted to settle the matter with me."
Xiong Yuanyuan suppressed her anger and continued, "My brother and I checked again and found that the engine was indeed broken, but they confirmed that it was still fine when they left. We were afraid that it would affect the reputation of the store, so we suggested that you check it again when you come back... Who knew that they were not here to repair the car, but to investigate the truth. One of them took advantage of our inattention and secretly went up to the second floor and saw Nota and the others."
While the chef was doing his work, the kids would play on the second floor.
There had been troubles over the past few days, so the Xiong brothers were more cautious. The three men heard the news from somewhere and made a fuss while repairing the flying motorcycle, then took the opportunity to sneak up to the second floor and see the cubs playing on the second floor.
Those kids were not easy to mess with, and Nota and Hrith immediately worked together to drive the man down the stairs.
The Xiong brothers, who were still negotiating with the guests, finally realized that something was wrong. They were about to arrest the people, but the three men got on their speeding motorcycles and ran away, and they couldn't stop them.
"The news that Nota is here has already spread." Xiong Yuanyuan said dejectedly.
"I am in trouble." Nota approached Ruan Shiqing hesitantly, carefully grasped the corner of his clothes, and looked up at him.
Because she had just been in a fight, the little fox's hair was messy and her new skirt was stained.
Looks very peaceful.
After the incident, she has been feeling uneasy.
She knew that someone outside wanted to catch her, so she had been consciously avoiding outsiders. But today they were having so much fun that no one paid attention to the bad guy who sneaked up.
At the moment, she was anxious and afraid, with a surge of anger in her chest. If Snowball suddenly bit her tail, she would... would be in the same situation as last time at the garbage dump...
The little fox drooped his ears sadly and said with great difficulty: "If, if there is really trouble, I can hide outside first and come back when there is no danger..."
This was a solution she had been thinking about for a long time.
She was reluctant to leave this man, but didn't want to bring trouble to this man, so she could only propose this compromise.
"Nota, let's go!" the little dragon immediately shouted when he heard it.
Now that Nota was gone, he had only his sister.
He bared his teeth and said viciously: "If another bad guy comes, we'll just run away from him!"
The little mermaid also let out two short "ahs", stopped waving her hands, looked at Nota anxiously, and her shaking fish tail stirred up ripples in the pool water.
Only Rong Heng, who was lazily lying on the recliner, glanced at them and curled his lips.
The cub really knew nothing.
whispering sound.
"..." On the contrary, Ruan Shiqing was confused about whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know what expression to make.
But seeing that the cubs were about to cry, he just bent down, picked up the two cubs and put them on the recliner.
Ruan Shiqing considered his words and explained, "It's already dangerous." He used his fingers to straighten Nota's messy red hair: "Just before Dad comes back, I've asked someone to help solve the problem. Soon you can all go out and play."
The cubs were lively by nature, so keeping them locked up all the time was not a long-term solution. Moreover, this age was the right time for the cubs to receive education, and Ruan Shiqing had already arranged a reasonable identity for them on Planet B3024 and sent them to the cub school.
Although the situation in the outer city is chaotic, there are still schools.
The cub school is similar to the kindergarten in his original world, except that the courses taught are very similar. In addition to cultural knowledge, the teachers will also guide the cubs on how to control and use their innate abilities, physical changes, and so on.
Moreover, the principal of the cub school is a powerful evolved human, and the teachers are also very capable, so the school is relatively safe.
Therefore, many parents who can afford the tuition are willing to send their children to cub schools. Even if it is not for learning, it is worth it for the safety of their children when they go out.
Ruan Shiqing has been secretly doing his homework for some time.
Asking Marin to help find out the identity of the buyer at the auction is just the first step.
When he has enough power, he will arrange reasonable identities for the cubs. Even if they go out in public, they will not be afraid of attracting bad intentions. At that time, his existence will be enough to deter those who have bad intentions.
Ruan Shiqing's words made the cubs stunned. After a moment, the little dragon cub cheered, hugged his legs, and tilted his head back to confirm again and again: "Really? Really? Can He Li also go out to play?"
The little dragon cub's attention has quickly shifted from the danger to being able to go out and play.
Nota and the little mermaid also opened their eyes wide, waiting for his answer.
"Really." Ruan Shiqing touched the cubs' heads and smiled gently: "So you don't have to worry about those bad guys."
The heavy atmosphere was swept away and the cubs found their happiness again.
The little dragon jumped into the pool, holding the little mermaid's tail in its claws and rolling in the water. The little mermaid's tail flicked lightly, and the tail fin emerged from the water and fell down, bringing up waves of water.
The little fox, who cherished his fur, simply lay down beside the pool and took the opportunity to splash water on the little dragon cub that surfaced.
Even brother Xiong Fangfang rubbed his hands, cheered himself up, and continued to work.
After making sure that the puppies were not injured, Ruan Shiqing picked up the puppies and asked 09 to go to the workshop.
Upon learning that the crisis was resolved, the little robot was filled with joy, and the red dots on the display screen flashed regularly.
"09, call up those three people and send a frontal image to my intelligent computer."
09 responded and immediately sent the video materials that had been prepared long ago.
The intelligent brain made a slight sound, and Ruan Shiqing turned on the virtual screen, memorized the faces of the three people, and sent a copy to Marin, asking him to help find the whereabouts of the three people, with a cold look in his eyes.
09 Interpretation: "Sir, do you mean there is danger?"
"It's true that there's danger, but we won't let these three people off easily." Ruan Shiqing straightened his lips: "It seems that the lesson from last time was not enough."
Rong Heng, who was lying on the workbench, looked at him again and again.
Revenge is necessary, that's wrong.
After the little disturbance passed, the family returned to their usual state of laughter and joy.
The next day, Ruan Shiqing did not have to go out. He got up early in the morning, had breakfast with the cubs, tied the hair of the little mermaid and the little fox, and instructed the bear brothers for a while before going into the workshop to work.
His schedule was very full. Apart from spending time with the cubs and going out for appointments, the rest of his time was spent in the workshop, and he hated to split every minute into two halves.
He had already read half of the books in the Metis Gray Library, and the inspiration and sketches he had drawn while reading had filled up three full volumes.
In his original world, due to years of overtime work, he had already mastered the basic skill of reading ten lines at a glance. His speed in reading literature and materials was beyond the reach of ordinary people. His peers often joked that he had mastered "quantum wave speed reading".
He was like a sponge, and Metis's database was a vast ocean. He was absorbing nutrients from the ocean at a speed that ordinary people could not catch up with.
After studying hard in the workshop, 09 called him three times in the evening. Ruan Shiqing reluctantly turned off the virtual screen and rubbed his slightly sore eyes.
After opening the door, Ruan Shiqing stretched his limbs and asked, "What's wrong?"
09: "Mr. Luther is here to visit and is waiting for you in the yard."
Luther is here to give out tickets to the finals.
After the preliminary and semi-finals, he successfully qualified for the finals. Although there were still fifty contestants in the finals, as the only ancient human among them, he already had enough capital to be proud of.
"Congratulations." Ruan Shiqing didn't bother to be polite with him and took the ticket: "I will definitely go to see it."
Luther scratched his head thoughtfully, then bowed to him very solemnly, his dark face flushed a little: "I have always wanted to express my gratitude to you solemnly, thank you very much. If it were you, I would not have been able to leave so smoothly."
It was Ruan Shiqing who gave him the confidence and courage to move forward fearlessly.
He used to think that entering the top ten in the final was already a very good result, but now as one of the fifty, he felt that the championship was also worth competing for.
He was no longer satisfied with just jumping out of this well and looking at the wider world. Instead, he wanted to try his best to leave his own color in that vast world.
After delivering the tickets, Luther left in a hurry. It was said that the competition for this final was very fierce and he was training every minute.
Ruan Shiqing counted the tickets and found that there were ten in total.
There is one for each person in the room, and there are some left over.
Each finalist got ten free tickets, and Luther probably gave them all to him.
Ruan Shiqing waved the tickets at the kids and said, "Want to go to the game and cheer for Luther?"
The kids stared at the tickets and nodded.
The little dragon was always quick, and had already crawled up Ruan Shiqing's trouser legs to his chest, trying to grab the ticket with his claws. He said loudly, "I have a loud voice, I'm going to cheer for Luther!"
Nota was not to be outdone: "My voice is loud too!"
The little mermaid was unable to move, slapped the water with her tail and raised her hands anxiously.
It seems that the little ones have been cooped up in the house for too long and are longing for the outside world.
Ruan Shiqing rubbed the cubs one by one, put away the tickets, and said with a smile: "Then you have to behave well these few days. Dad will take you to the competition on the day."
He rubbed the puppy and looked at brothers 09 and Xiong: "Everyone go together."
The little robot and the cubs cheered together.
Knowing that they could go to watch the speed shuttle race, the kids were so excited that they fell asleep that day. Although there were still several days before the race, they couldn't contain their excitement.
The little dragon hugged his little pillow and climbed onto his father's bed with confidence.
When Nota saw this, he immediately followed with a pillow in his mouth.
The little mermaid in the bucket in the living room became anxious and stopped photographing the water surface to attract her father's attention.
Ruan Shiqing felt helpless and had to resign himself to his fate so he got out of bed and carried the little mermaid into the bedroom.
The big bed that originally had only one puppy in it was suddenly filled with puppies.
Rong Heng, who was resting with his eyes closed, frowned because of the noise of the cubs. At this moment, the little dragon cubs were still pushing towards him - Rong Heng was sleeping on the pillow on the right side of Ruan Shiqing, very close to Ruan Shiqing.
The little dragon wanted to sleep against his father's neck and was trying hard to squeeze Rong Heng out.
Rong Heng: …
He raised his paw and pushed the annoying little dragon away.
Although the little dragon cub was stronger than him, he was pushed by him and rolled twice. He got up in a daze and shouted angrily: "Who pushed me secretly?!"
Rong Heng looked at him coldly and lay back down again.
If you squeeze me again, I'll throw you out.
This night was lively and peaceful. The kids who slept next to their dad slept soundly.
There were small breathing sounds coming and going in the bedroom.
Rong Heng opened his eyes, glanced at the blinking smart computer, jumped off the bed quietly, picked up the smart computer and walked out of the bedroom.
Change into human form and log into the holographic network.
Rong Heng said in a hurry: "You'd better be in a real hurry."
Dares's virtual image flashed, and his expression was serious: "This time I really have an urgent report." He just laid a little groundwork: "Your father, the Regent, will hold a coronation ceremony soon. At the same time, he will also marry old Bart's eldest daughter, Sethia Bart."
Old Bart is the head of the Nashi Group. Nashi has a history of more than 300 years and is the largest manufacturer in the Galactic Empire, with industries ranging from civilian vehicles to military weapons.
Various types of auxiliary robots and transportation vehicles for civilian use, large warships and weapons for military use, etc., all have the shadow of Naxi Group behind them.
It is an exaggeration to say that the Naxi Group’s industries cover half of the empire.
The purpose of the Regent marrying Seya Bart when he ascended the throne is self-evident.
Dareth said worriedly: "If this marriage takes effect, your position will be threatened, Your Majesty."
He had not worried about this problem before. After all, even if the regent ascended the throne, after his death, the only candidate for succession would be His Highness. But if Seya Bart ascended the throne and gave birth to a child with the new king, with the support of the Naxi Group behind her, it would definitely threaten His Highness's right of succession.
Your Highness must show up as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.
"When will the coronation ceremony be held?" Rong Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the expression on his face.
"Just half a month later, on December 27th." Dares said: "You need to rush back to Sikkim as soon as possible."
Rong Heng paused for a long time, his eyes dark, "It's time to go back."
"How's the progress on your side?" he asked again.
"We are already setting up a new jump channel." Dares carefully looked at his face and tried to test him: "After your majesty left, there was no one in charge of B3024. What do you think... should I go there? I'm afraid Mori can handle it alone."
"Guard Yanjis well." Rong Heng glanced at him coldly: "You are in charge of the situation here."
Dareth was willing: "...Oh."
After the communication was unilaterally cut off, Rong Heng's face completely darkened. He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance and asked Noah in a hoarse voice: "What do you think he wants to do?"
Since the founding of the Galactic Empire, the Ymir clan has been placed on the throne and has been branded as a royal family.
As the Emperor of the Empire, his mother, Queen Farah, dedicated her entire life to the Empire.
Even marriage.
He always remembered that at his mother's funeral, he asked Si Yan why he was not sad at all. Si Yan replied, "Because your mother never loved me, she was a person with only feelings. I will not shed tears for a cold-blooded person."
His mother was the powerful Ymir, while his father, Si Yan, was just a weak ancient human.
Their union was nothing more than a political performance by Queen Farah to promote the Racial Equality Act. There was no love between them.
—This is what Si Yan told him during the banquet.
But Rong Heng always remembered that his mother once taught him: Your grandmother and father were both ancient humans, but they were both very powerful and worthy of respect. Whether a person is noble or not has nothing to do with race.
Yomir was born noble, and ancient humans were born lowly.
Just like his surname "Rong", which is taken from his grandmother's surname.
At that time, the mother's expression was very gentle, even gentle.
But everyone knows that Queen Farah is iron-blooded and cruel, and has killed people decisively throughout her life. The word "gentle" has never been used to describe her.
Only Rong Heng, who was still a cub, noticed her soft inner part that was already exposed.
So he never believed what Si Yan said.
Queen Farah was a great emperor and a qualified mother.
In his opinion, it was his mother who was too cold and heartless, and it was Si Yan who was confined by his race and had never truly understood his mother.
