Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 291 290. Wow, this isn’t the kind of posting I want to see!

The atmosphere that night was a little subtle.

Considering that the incident was too outrageous, Safe had to wait until the damage to the vehicle and the mechanical damage were summarized, and then find a small repair shop to maintain the vehicle before setting off again.

And since we had just been attacked, everyone decided to split up into two rooms, with Tien responsible for protecting the two support personnel...

For some reason, Tien's voice during the call sounded quite expectant, and she even asked room service for a deck of cards. I always felt that she probably didn't plan to go to bed.

Let’s observe a few seconds of silence for the two unfortunate children who are ignorant of the world and have never seen the fickleness of life.

Then there's this side - to be honest, Sefer originally thought that people said the hotel meals were bad only because they were used to eating the meals in the car.

When Shengnai actually brought in the meal that was delivered to the door, Sefer had to nod in acknowledgement.

It was indeed unpalatable, and even though the meat was cooked very hard, it couldn't stop the fact that it tasted unpalatable - and, it was worm meat.

Didn't Company Q come here for business negotiations before? Could it be that this node city has never purchased Company Q's cold chain products at all?
Since no one wanted to eat anyway, they could only turn around and fill their stomachs with biscuits or something like that, and then...then they looked at each other in silence.

Shengnai actually didn't care. She gave Sefer a simple routine check-up and confirmed that this seemingly frail body was actually healthy. Then she sat calmly on the soft and comfortable chair.

As for Feldridge, she was at the tea table on the other side of the room, also wearing a clean bathrobe, with her feet up on the footstool, and she was cursing someone on the other end of the line fiercely - very busy.

And he is the type who is either scolding someone or on his way to scold someone, as if if he doesn't do this, the people under him will definitely be lazy.

So much so that Seifer spent half a day and finally spread out the long hair that looked so thick and long that it seemed like it could be used as a mop on the bed. Then, while she was resting, he asked her if this method could be used to motivate employees.

Feldrich took a sip of tea and stared at her with a bad expression - and at her long gray hair that was spread out, giving the illusion that it could be used as a sheet.

"Are you kidding me? These bastards won't be effective unless we motivate them or use actual threats to get them to move."

After a while, she suddenly realized: "How can I sleep if you spread your wet hair on my bed like this?"

"But it was you who asked me to come into the room to discuss this in my original form. I don't want to use my hair as a mop and then return to the car dirty. It would be uncomfortable."

The two looked at each other for a while, and Feldrich turned his head to continue looking for the next unlucky guy to supervise. During this time, a series of task recommendations from the mercenary system appeared in front of Sefer's eyes.

Since Seifer had completed his previous missions very efficiently, and the feedback on their intensity and completion was excellent, the recent missions given by the mercenary support system were... well, the quality was very good.

Moreover, these are all commissions from old customers who have assigned tasks to them, and the quotes given by some of them are really tempting.

It’s just that it’s a little far away from me, and it’s not worth it to go there, so I can only give up with reluctance.

What’s interesting is that for some reason, there are very few commissions around the United School Node City. If there are any, they are difficult to do and the rewards are low. As for the interior of the United School Node City?

There is no mercenary commission to be done at all, as if mercenaries are not needed at all.

This abnormal situation made Sefer quite confused. Since he had doubts, he had to ask the people who came out of the node city.

"Shengnai, don't the United Schools need mercenaries?" "Hmm? That's because the people who complete the various commissions in the Node City are those students who are committed to becoming independent mercenaries after graduation."

Shengnai replied as a matter of course, "However, these people who have undergone systematic training will directly enter the company to work in the future. According to the classification of mercenaries... well, they should be called 'corporate reserve forces' or something like that?"

So do these people who have undergone systematic training have better treatment than the mercenaries recruited from outside?

Shengnai didn't know about this... Ask Feldrich? She was busy adjusting her work. When she could just sit back and relax in the hot spring until her whole body was red, that was her rest time.

When his inquiries yielded no results, Seifer was too lazy to bother about it. He just wrapped himself in his bathrobe and continued to lie flat on the bed, which was large enough for four or five people to turn over without feeling crowded, and continued to observe the constantly refreshing data.

If nothing unexpected happened, theoretically today should have passed like this, but in reality, there were always many things that would require mercenaries to come.

Just as Shengnai came over because he was sleepy, lying on his side next to Seifer, and looking at the intelligence panels floating in the air with her, the three of them heard the sound of water splashing from the bathtub outside.

Feldrich was the first to jump up, cautiously moving closer to the window. "What's that sound...it can't be another attack from somewhere?!"

After waiting for a while, there was a "click, click" sound outside the door, and then, a bunch of loose objects suddenly "clicked" on the door... It slowly pushed the sliding door open and entered the room!

This sudden change made Feldrich subconsciously ready to call for help. Fortunately, Seifer reacted quickly. She sat up helplessly and said, "Dr. Mei, stop scaring me."

"Oh."

There actually was a responding sound coming from that mass of water-like thing!

Feldridge couldn't catch her breath and felt very uncomfortable. She opened her eyes wide and watched carefully as the mass of things crawled into the room and then stood up against common sense.

It shook erratically, and it was hard to tell which side was the front... but at least, it had no intention of attacking anyone.

"I've tried all the hot springs in hotels, and they don't compare to the bathtub in the car."

And the voice sounds familiar...as if I've heard it in the car before?
Realizing this, the corners of Feldrich's mouth drooped again, and a feeling of anger, as if he was being tricked by several people, was brewing in his chest.

However, before she could come up with anything, Seifer lay back down. "After all, there's a big difference between bathing in purified water and this kind of hot spring water. Get some rest. We'll have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Then, she saw the amorphous mass making strange noises as it pounced onto the bed, covering the two of them like a quilt made of fluid.

"You, this...it..."

His brain was basically offline, and Feldrich was very frightened by the sudden appearance of something in front of him that he had no cognition for but was obviously intelligent.

Then she was pounced upon by a spreading mass of something, which lifted her up effortlessly and pulled her directly onto the bed.

The restraint, tighter than a rubber band, left her with nowhere to escape. She could only squirm in vain, waiting for Seifer to explain... What the hell was this thing!
