Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 139 138. After a short break, it’s time to work

After Leica finished her enlightenment in Longchang and went on to study and learn carefully, Sefer ended the communication, closed his eyes and floated in the bathtub.

From Dr. Mei's perspective, she now looked more like a beautiful work of art immersed in translucent amber.

And it tastes great.

"Where did you learn all this theoretical knowledge? This is related to the humanities and social sciences or human psychology. Even I am not quite sure."

She asked, causing Cypher to open his eyes.

The warm, cozy feeling made her feel comfortable and relaxed, which was completely different from the feeling of floating in the jar.

Although to be honest, she didn't know what it felt like to float in the jar - because her first perception was on the machine's body.

I've been in this world for so long, but to be honest, the time I've had "feelings" is incredibly short.

Compared to pure machines, I must be lucky.

"...Just think of me as someone who's experienced even more brutal office fights. A bloodless fight can sometimes be even more torturous than one that does."

"If blood is seen, at most one side will be completely wiped out and that's the end, right?"

Dr. Mei was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then it's time to fulfill your reward. Open your mouth."

"Huh? Why are you opening your mouth?"

"I'm a slime. Isn't it normal for me to be omnipresent? For me, if a person is delicious, then everywhere is delicious and worth trying."

Seifer closed his mouth nervously, trying to turn over or grab the edge of the bathtub, and squeezed out the words from between his teeth:
"Even a beautiful girl would have some unclean parts, I think."

"I told you, I'm a slime. My cognition and concepts are different from those of humans... Open your mouth. I can also check your gastrointestinal problems."

Dr. May wriggled, completely enveloping Cypher in the transparent substance. "It will even allow for a more accurate physical examination. So open your mouth."

"do not want!"

"That's fine, I can find another entrance."

When the battle between humans and slimes was about to start again, the bathroom door suddenly slid open, and Shengnai, who was only wrapped in a large towel, suddenly walked in lightly.

She tilted her head slightly, causing her feather-like hair accessory to sway slightly. "Hmm... am I not here at a good time, Cypher?"

Cypher stopped struggling and tried to breathe. "Just in time! Pull me out of this slime."

Then it suddenly occurred to me, "No, weren't you asleep?"

"Because it's very hot today, the blanket I covered myself with is a bit thick. I was a bit uncomfortable with the heat, so I woke up in a sweat. But why is Cypher playing with this strange creature?"

It sounded like a knowing question. Just as Cypher was about to take the opportunity to eject, Dr. May suddenly said, "Forget it. Forcing you is a bit boring."

Are you planning to wait until you gradually develop the habit?
"As compensation, since you all want to take a bath, come over here. Just remember to change the water for me when you leave."

Without thinking or hesitation, Shengnai stepped into the bathtub on the scattered water splashes, and then said to Sefer with a smile that she had actually wanted to take a bath with Sefer for a long time.

——From his previous life to this life, Sefer has always had a question: why do girls like to go shopping, go to the toilet, take a shower, etc. together?

I guess I won’t understand it in the future.

Because Dr. May then entered what he called "cleaning mode," giving the naive (and doubtful) and rather delicate Sefer a hard lesson.

————The sun rose from the horizon, crossed the sky majestically, and then fell below the horizon on the other side, bringing the howling wind again.

But this time the wind turned from scorching hot to cold, and finally, when the residual heat of the desert was consumed, it turned into a cold wind that could freeze people.

As the sun sets and the last rays of afterglow fade away, the two cars that had been standing still suddenly emit a series of low rumbling noises.

They shook off the sand covering the car body, staggered to pull themselves out of the sand dune that had buried most of the car body, and moved forward slowly like travelers shaking out clothes.

The scorching hot sand was squeezed and flattened by the tracks, and the energy contained in it burst out, quickly forming two long and wide blue tracks, slowly moving towards the distance.

Of course, this is just the beginning. As the engine enters the normal operating range, the vehicle speed will become faster and faster, and finally reach the driving speed.

And in the main control cabin of that huge vehicle, Seifer, the driver, was carrying out his duties in an orderly manner - instructing the driver to pay attention to the road and not to doze off.

Tien rubbed her eyes. "The return route isn't wrong, and looking at the screen the old way isn't a problem. What did you do during the day? Why does it seem like that little girl is even more dependent on you?"

"Hmm...something happened, half good, half bad." Cypher coughed into his robotic voice and continued reading the briefing.

Tien was very interested in "what happened", but the boss was unwilling to say. If she continued to ask, she might be sent to unclog the toilet, so she shrugged and continued to supervise the automatic driving program boringly.

In the channel when she was not there, Dr. Mei had completely organized the study materials and, with the introduction of Sefer, established contact with Laika.

In order to prevent any miscommunication between the two, Cypher also joined in (in case of any emergency there).

Dr. Mei: "You can call me Mr. Ming. Or Professor Ming, whatever you want to call me. Today I will give you a tutorial on cryptography..."

To be honest, Dr. Mei's teaching skills are truly remarkable. She speaks slowly, but her analysis of key points is clear and concise, making it easy to understand.

Sefer has met many masters who are very good at their work and are very good at designing and writing reports, but they are simply unable to teach apprentices, and the level of their teaching is hard to describe.

Academic level and 'teaching ability' are not necessarily linked, but Dr. Mei happens to have both very high levels - but then again, the depth of his teaching is a bit too deep, even beyond the textbook, isn't it?

Is she planning to train a new apprentice for herself?
Anyway, everything went smoothly here, but on the other side... compared to myself who was able to return to the jar and transfer my consciousness, Saint Nakako had a hard time.

Dr. Mei's all-round and comprehensive service can only be understood by those who have used it. Except for Lin Shenxue who was spit out because of being rejected, everyone else had to hold on to the wall when coming out, and for a period of time they would shiver even when the wind blew.

I hope it won't leave too deep a psychological shadow on her.

Seifer changed his posture, listening to the voice of tutoring over there, when he suddenly received a communication request from Node City.

Independent mercenary 'Trigger''s communication request...

Who pulled the trigger?

Sefer recollected for a moment and remembered that it was the man who had teamed up with him to go to the dungeon when he had just arrived at the Node City of the Transformation Organization. His younger brother had broken a hand...it seemed like that.

Picking up the communication, Cypher asked calmly, "What's up, Trigger?"

"Oh, it really connected. Red Crossbow, you're not around Node City. You missed an interesting thing."

He didn't keep anyone in suspense: "During the lunch break this morning, the mercenaries opened up the upper areas of the reformatory. Now we can all head to the middle areas to explore."

"This is virgin territory that no one has ever set foot on... You know what that means, right?"

Cypher rested his chin on his hand and thought for a few seconds. "It means a higher risk. Because it's just 'opening up the area' instead of suppressing the entire upper level, right?"

"You're right, but everyone wants to move to the middle level. The reason I told you is because... you're a talent with a special license. Now's the time to show off your skills!"

...Is there such a saying?
