Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 268 267. Don’t hang around at home, something bad will happen

After placing the spare body into the mounting bay, Seifer (the real body) walked out of the raised tank. After landing lightly, she immediately looked at the personnel flow chart in the vehicle.

Well... that's great. Everyone is staying in their own cubicles, and Dr. Mei is still tinkering in the research cabin, so let her be.

Taking a deep breath, letting the slightly warm air enter his lungs, savoring the freedom of breathing, the feel of the cool floor beneath his feet, and the actual 'feel' of coming into contact with the air. After a few seconds, Cypher looked at the cylinder he had emerged from.

Beneath it, three high-energy crystals are now embedded, the energy of which is enough to activate short-term visions.

The first one unlocked a new technology called "Resurrection Array" for Seifer. The effect is that any crew member who dies suddenly in any way on the vehicle can return from the resurrection array.

It's a bit like some kind of evil villain's ship that has their souls bound, and they have to work on the ship even after they die!
The second one, which is obtained when rescuing one's spare body, is an extra reward, and can be placed in the groove after being restrained by Dr. Mei.

This one didn't unlock any ultimate high-tech items. It just unlocked the customization of Cypher's spare body.

However, it cannot be customized as easily as changing the weapons and equipment of the body. It takes some time to adjust and confirm each time.

Since it was free, Sefer was quite happy.

As for the third one, it was obtained from the modified worm. There's been no movement since it was inserted. Does it look like another one is needed before there's a follow-up?
Several spare bodies were being adjusted, and Seifer walked slowly into the restaurant - if he calculated the time well, the earliest group of crew members should have just woken up after breakfast and lunch.

Anyway, everyone is used to this process. Some people see through it but don't say anything, while some people just think that Seifer always wants to do something new, but his skills are a little lacking.

After skillfully taking out the frozen and rehydrated vegetables, and then taking out today's share of meat, Seifer thought for a moment and decided to use the oil from yesterday's frying to make a teriyaki chicken steak, a portion of shredded cabbage, and a bowl of clear soup for everyone.

As for the staple food...rice or noodles? If it's noodles, what kind of noodles should I use?
This kind of trouble of having to choose is something that other mercenary bases cannot experience - after all, when most people are trying to make a living, it doesn't matter what they eat as long as they can have enough to eat.

If it’s not enough, use nutritional pills to make up for it!
Sefer also bought various vitamins and food supplements as supplements. Shengnai's suggestions were quite good.

But rather than relying on these things and then using unpalatable things to lower the morale of the crew, Seifer would rather spend a little brain and time to ensure that everyone is well fed.

——What she didn’t know was that some people haven’t revealed their bad nature until now, mainly because the food she cooks every day is so delicious, and when they are in a good mood, they become more open-minded about many things.

Even someone's subordinates in the company felt that she had been scolding less recently, and some people were even a little uncomfortable with it.

After making her decision, Seifer lit a fire and started cooking. She tiptoed on a small stool and focused on the task at hand.

Various sounds and mouth-watering aromas slowly filled the entire restaurant. Considering that there were two more people on the bus, Seifer also calculated some allowances to prevent some people from eating too much and leaving others with nothing.

The sauces and ingredients for the teriyaki chicken, as well as the staple foods, etc., were all purchased when passing through some node cities.

Each company has a very thorough understanding of the concept of "food". Although the variety is limited, each company has its own flagship product.

Rice, flour, grain and oil can definitely be found if you look carefully, but the people in this world... forget it, it's all tears if I say too much.

The skin of the freshly-cooked teriyaki chicken is shimmering with oil. The chicken, slightly stained with brown, exudes an irresistible charm amidst the sticky sauce that makes one drool just by looking at it.

With half-closed eyes, Seifer placed the plate in the warming area and then picked up another one.

The rice was slowly cooking in the pot, and the kitchen knife was cutting the cabbage balls on the chopping board. While Seifer was preparing dried chilies, he casually glanced at the door and the knife in his hand pressed directly on his fingers.

The slight pain caused her to immediately turn the blade back, pointing it straight in that direction. The wound on her finger hadn't bled at all, and it had already begun to heal at a visible speed—it didn't matter.

Across from the tip of the knife, at the entrance of the restaurant, Feldrich stared at this side in amazement.

She had secretly collected information on this car and confirmed the identities of everyone in the car except the guy in the research cabin.

Could it be that this guy with super long gray hair and a somewhat emotionless look is...

In an instant, the answer came to Feldrich's clever little head.

Cypher, also known as the Red Crossbow, is a guy who looks smaller than himself and looks super weak.

Look at those thin arms and legs, and a neck that is so thin that it seems like it could be broken with a pinch.

Look at the place that is flatter than yourself - isn't this a clear weakness!

Before her surprise could turn into ecstasy, Seifer slammed the knife on the chopping board, jumped off the chair, and sprinted at lightning speed.

At that speed, the expression on Feldrich's face didn't even have time to change before Seifer got close to him and slapped the wall directly with his palm.

With a loud bang, she finally realized... How fast? Was it because she was a mercenary?
Seifer's face was calm. "How did you get here? The car system showed that you were still in your room..."

As he spoke, Cypher raised his hand to unfold a three-dimensional view of the vehicle body, and Feldrich's logo flashed in the lounge.

In response, Feldrich pulled down the corner of his mouth. "Oh, this is a device I personally researched. It can easily bypass some brainless electronic products. But you..."

She stood on tiptoe, trying to look down at Cypher. "I didn't expect that 'that' Red Crossbow Arrow would be such a delicate and weak creature."

That evil smile was about to burst out, and even the depression caused by company affairs during this period was almost dissipated.

However, Cypher wasn't about to indulge her: "How about... you take a look at the wallboard next to you?"

After this reminder, Feldridge reluctantly turned his head to look, and the smile froze on his face.

He looked so fragile, like an observation target in a culture tank, but that slap actually made a dent in the wall!
What kind of strange power is this? How did he do it? Could it be that the guy in front of me is also a strange mechanical creation that looks like a human on the surface?
In his panic, Feldrich reached out and pinched Sefer's cheek.

It is very soft and smooth, like a smooth and soft glutinous rice cake pudding, slightly cool and warm.

However, it is such a "person" who can easily leave marks on the steel plate.

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

"Are you kidding me by saying this at this time?"

Easily lifting Feldrich up by the collar, Seifer placed her on a chair and then crossed her arms.

The long hair that could be used as a mop swept the floor back and forth, but it didn't pick up any dirt at all: "So... what should I do with you?"
