Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 312 311. If that doesn’t work, how about adding a little brain? (rd update)

In the end, Dr. Mei ate the hot food and ate it happily, although from what Seifer saw, she simply pulled off her transparent protective suit and dumped the plate into it.

Very scary friends.

Putting aside the fact that the two people over there seemed to be quite friendly on the surface but the atmosphere was tense for some reason, Sefer told Dr. Mei that the ice cream machine was very useful and she had already prepared the raw materials and placed them in the refrigerator.

If you want to eat it, just pour the raw materials into the two feeding ports separately. If you don’t use the machine, remember to clean it and turn it off, etc...

Dr. Mei had no reaction to this. While slowly digesting his meal, he simply asked, "When are you going to take a shower?"

"I... don't necessarily have to wash."

"But I think you need to wash."

"No I don't need to, at least not while there's a tub of warm water in the bathroom."

Seeing that Cipher had no intention of taking the bait, Dr. Mei shrugged, took a bowl of ice cream and turned away - he had mentioned before that the box that Cipher had asked to be taken back was already in the warehouse.

The research institute can’t handle it, so there’s nothing we can do but pull it back and put it in the bottom of the box, right?
After watching her slowly leave, Seifer returned to the restaurant: "Is the dessert delicious, Afu?"

"Don't call me that, you wild... mercenary. For your creativity, I can give you a little credit."

Feldrich crossed his arms, his attitude somewhat harsh: "But it depends on how far those unreliable young people you found can go."

That’s great, let’s settle the deal!
"Also, I did some research on your situation..." Feldrich suddenly smiled dangerously. "I thought it would be difficult to find relevant information, but surprisingly, there's quite a bit of information."

Is there such a good thing?

Seifer sat down beside her and raised his hand. A panel connected to the car's central control panel immediately appeared in the air. "Can you provide some?"

Feldridge couldn't help but shrink her shoulders subconsciously because of her lack of sense of boundaries. Then she suddenly thought of something, hummed, picked up the communication device and operated it.

The panel in the air immediately showed a map of the desert's currently explored areas, as well as maps of the node cities, which were actually quite numerous.

"Putting aside your mercenary identity, there are indeed reports of 'machine-like things' activities, and these reports come from these areas..."

The activity tracks are all on the edge of human-controlled areas, and have been wandering around. From a time point of view, the time when Sefer "first had memory" was when he was attacked by pirates.

The mechanical body was damaged to the limit, and then what happened next was what Cypher knew.

He had been active before this, even across several node cities? Why wasn't there anything in the car logs? And had he worked with anyone before?
There were more questions than before. Seifer scratched his head. The slightly warm and silky long hair felt so good to the touch.

"Forget it. If I really can't figure it out, I'll just leave it alone and find another opportunity later. It's late today. Do you want to rest in the car or go back to the dorm?"

Speaking of this, Shengnai clapped his hands lightly and said that there was actually no need to go back, as long as the student's coordinates were within the coverage of the academy.

And Safe's car is now parked within the jurisdiction of the college and is very safe.

Urging the two to wash up, Sefer waited for a while, filtered the air in the restaurant clean enough, and then smelled himself... Don't say it, it really smelled like food.

But now if I go to the bathroom I will definitely run into Dr. Mei, and then I will have to give him a thorough scrubbing. It is clean, but to be honest, I feel a sense of panic and helplessness.

So Seifer just blew in the wind for a while and decided to go back into the jar. After testing, it was found that the state in the jar has a very detailed self-cleaning function, which is very suitable for lazy people.

Before that, Shengnai suddenly appeared: "Sever, are you free now?" "Okay, I've been bored all night flipping through the students' communication board... Do you want to hear a story?"

Actually, I just wanted to take a bath with Sefer... How should I put it, it's just a girl's little thoughts, doing something together will make the relationship better.

But, if it was to listen to a story, Shengnai would also be very happy, her eyebrows curved, and she smiled and nodded.

The two returned to the crew rest cabin and sat down in the room between Sanai and the currently unoccupied one. Seifer habitually opened a transparent panel and cleared his throat slightly.

"Lie down properly and keep your arms and legs covered—let me see, which story is funnier?"

Seifer sat in a chair, thinking seriously. His long gray hair shone faintly under the dim light, like a luxurious tasseled blanket.

After choosing a story, Seifer cleared his throat and slowly told a story about searching for a soulmate in the mountains and rivers.

Although he didn't know what the musical instrument was, the story of the two soulmates still deeply attracted Shengnai. Unconsciously, accompanied by the soft voice, Shengnai finally fell into a deep sleep in the drowsiness.

After tidying up the quilt for her, Seifer quietly left the room. The moment he closed the door, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned his head sharply and saw Frederick standing at the door of his room.

The pajamas, which looked to be of good quality, made her look even smaller. Her thin figure stood alone in the metal corridor, looking a bit pitiful.

I can't just ignore it... Thinking this in my mind, Seifer went over to ask her what was wrong - but unexpectedly, Feldrich said that she was upset and couldn't sleep.

It was a rare occasion when she couldn't sleep. When Seifer walked into her cabin, the first thing he saw was the various display devices covering the walls.

Some data were jumping around, seemingly related to some experimental data being tracked. Seifer didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop her from asking the other party why he was upset?
"It's hard for a mercenary like you to understand. This isn't something that can be solved with just swords and guns... Sigh."

Sitting on the bed with his knees hugged against the wall, Feldrich looked depressed, and he still spoke with that aloof attitude.

Sefer wasn't in a hurry. She smoothed her long hair, sat down, and hugged her arms. "Not necessarily. You can see that I'm not like ordinary mercenaries... At least, I've read some books."

"What's the use of that little bit... Forget it, just think of it as emptying the trash can."

Cypher blinked and followed her words: "Am I only worthy of being a trash can in your eyes?"

His gaze lingered on her, and for some reason, Feldrich's first thought was, "A very comfortable pillow." But if she said that aloud, the mercenary would surely laugh at her, so she pursed her lips.

"Don't interrupt, mercenary. I'm in a bad mood right now. It's okay to tell you—it's a simple matter. That guy is very dissatisfied with my share of the company and is recently adjusting the company's structure."

"Using the company's methods, they removed my trusted associates from the core decision-making layer and replaced them with his subordinates... Those idiots don't understand technology or research at all. They're just a bunch of scheming idiots!"

When it came to the exciting part, a fire seemed to rise in Feldrich's eyes, as if it wanted to burn the person he was talking about to death.

...Well, this kind of thing is quite common when there is a disagreement among the top management of a company.

Cypher thought for a moment, "So... what are your thoughts?"

"I want to contact other companies and find a way to knock that idiot."

Hearing her thoughts, Seifer immediately stretched out his finger and shook it gently: "No, how about this, let me tell you a story about 'Qin soldiers borrowing the road'..."
