Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 137 Chapter 136. Providing psychological counseling to members is also an obligation, right? (Three more)

After finishing the story slowly, Shengnai fell into a deep sleep. I have to say that the voice of this body is very suitable for helping sleep.

If you just slow down a little, maybe even the crying child will fall asleep.

After tucking the quilt into Shengnai, Sefer walked out of the room silently.

The lights in the crew cabin were dim. As she walked towards other cabins, she opened various dialog boxes around her, trying to find interesting information from the various radio waves intersecting in the sky.

The closest place to this car is undoubtedly the node city of the transformation agency, where the information is the richest.

Excluding those fools who turned insider information into outside information, the remaining information was all about asking for team formation, selling/recycling weapons and equipment, arguing with each other about being dishonest, etc., which was commonplace.

In addition, there is a lot of information related to the company. Abian is speeding up the recruitment of more mercenaries who hope to start from scratch to register with him.

According to incomplete statistics, in just this week, Abian Company has invested in a road parking lot next to this node city.

Not counting the distribution of weapons and equipment, as well as expenses related to selling insurance, it seems that Abian is simply investing in the reform organization.

If the transformation agency had not rejected all investments from the three companies, the other two companies would probably have started to get anxious, thinking that the two were going to join forces.

By now, Abian's investment has far exceeded the technology they could possibly dig up in the node city.

According to common sense, this is uncharted territory, and no one understands why Abian is so confident that there will be enough output to recover all investments.

Unless there are rare mineral deposits underneath.

...No, the mines cannot recoup such a huge investment. After all, this is the territory of the transformation agency.

There was a lot of discussion among the mercenary group, and various conspiracy theories emerged one after another. Seifer watched for a while and then turned off the screen out of boredom.

Mineral deposits? Seifer even suspected that underneath this node city, there was actually a pile of high-energy crystals, abyss admission tickets, super batteries... in short, something like that.

What's worse, maybe there is a constant anomaly below.

Even though it doesn’t exist now, it doesn’t mean it will appear by chance!
With his thoughts wandering freely, Seifer walked lightly to the outside of the shower area. Before entering the bathroom, he reached out and knocked on the door: "Is anyone in there?"

Preventing slime traps starts with you and me.

The bathroom door opened directly, and in the mist, Dr. Mei's voice came out: "Yes, come in."

Considering that the first time was just unpleasant because they were not familiar with each other, Seifer thought about it and put his coat and nightgown into the washing machine, then walked into the bathroom with his hair in hand.

Take this opportunity to ease the relationship.

Suddenly, some ripples appeared on the calm water surface, condensing into a soft, transparent mass that hung over the side of the bathtub, motioning her to come over and sit down.

Letting the warm water wrap themselves up, the man and the slime remained silent for a long time.

Curled up in the bathtub with his hands around his legs, Cypher's posture, as if he could eject at any time, made Dr. Mei twist his body. A familiar voice came from the body where it was impossible to tell where his face was.

"Keeping your hair in water all the time is very damaging to your hair. It will eventually cause split ends or breakage, and in the worst case, you'll have to cut it off."

Seifer was quite curious: "Aren't you a slime?!"

"I have friends, don't you?"

Very aggressive.

Sefer thought about it and tried hard to put his hair up, but he couldn't find a suitable hairband.

Seeing her like this, Dr. Mei expanded a little, submerged her in the water, and accommodated her long hair that looked like gray-white seaweed, and then continued to expand.

"There's no need to be nervous. As a slime, this is the only skill I have. With your strange power that can create a vacuum in the water, shouldn't it be easy for you to break free?" That was true. Seifer relaxed his body slightly and felt that the water around him became a little thicker.

So in other words, I am actually immersed in 'Dr. Mei' now... What a strange way of saying it.

Leaning on the edge of the bathtub, Seifer was wrapped in slime from the neck down. The constant temperature hot water was really comfortable to soak in. No wonder Dr. Mei stayed here all day long.

The warm and comfortable feeling made Sefer feel like taking a nap - at this moment, she suddenly remembered something.

A dialog box opened in front of him: "Leica, are you still online?"

On the other end of the line, Leica's voice came a moment later: "Hmm? Um... I'm reading. What's up, Red Crossbow?"

"Also, why did your voice become like this again? I adjusted the voice parameters for you, did you mess with them again?"

Seifer gently took over the little question, and she felt her body slowly leave the bottom of the bathtub, as if she was lying on a soft water bed.

There was something equally soft cushioning behind my head, and I felt as comfortable as if I were in zero gravity.

"Nothing particularly serious. I just wanted to continue with the previous question. Didn't you suddenly leave the communication room earlier, saying you had something urgent to deal with?"

"Ah...yeah. I've already taken care of it. Don't...worry too much."

Leica didn't seem to want to elaborate.

But honestly, Cypher wasn't about to let it go: "You sound guilty, Laika. You're my communicator, and you're indispensable in terms of intelligence support, right?"

"……right."

"So before you guarantee my understanding of various intelligence, I also have an obligation to help you solve problems outside of work. Otherwise, how can we work together as one person and exert the power of independent mercenaries?"

To be honest, this is totally untenable, but Seifer's voice and his firm attitude really shocked Leica.

She hesitated for a while, and seemed to have made a great decision before she said, "Actually... I've been hiding this from you..."

"I'm here in the Joint School Node City... I'm a student."

As she spoke, she turned off the voice changer she had been using, which had precise parameters. Her voice immediately rose several degrees, completely different from the stereotypical voice of a "mature, steady, deep and magnetic" correspondent.

"That sounds like my impression of you, Laika. Go on, what difficulties are you facing in school?"

Seifer had just made countless contingency plans in his mind, such as the school was going to send it, and Leica was involved in a dirty deal between the correspondents.

For example, the so-called school is an area for training assassins, and if people like her don’t prove their worth, something bad will happen to them.

As a result, Leica said embarrassedly that she had been too focused on her work as a communicator recently, so she rarely went out every day and her relationship with the people in the dormitory had become very bad.

Bad relationships mean that the learning environment has also become very bad. The final test of this semester is coming, and if you repeat the grade, the resources allocated to you as a student will be reduced.

Even free time will be reduced, making it difficult for correspondents to maintain their jobs.

Seifer immediately got to the point. "So the root cause is your relationship with the people in the dormitory deteriorating. Tell me in detail about the situation before the relationship deteriorated."

"Anyway, it's my break time now. If you're not sleepy, talk to me."

“…Okay, that might be a bit long-winded.”

I didn't use a voice changer, I still used the Leica with the accent, and now my voice sounds quite cute.
