After all, although many members of the Defense Department are top soldiers recruited from various planets, there are only a few of them who are truly destiny walkers. Faced with the sudden attack of the Antimatter Legion members, they can only rely on various high-tech weapons to fight, and naturally they suffer heavy casualties.
If we implement the revival plan at this time, personnel may become a big problem!
"The staffing issue is indeed a thorny one. Miss Ester also admitted that the number of people needed currently exceeds our expectations, so..." Alan looked at Yu Qi and the others with some embarrassment but also some expectation, and said shyly, "Well, although it may be a bit abrupt, Miss Xing, Miss March Seven, and Mr. Yu Qi, are you willing to help?"
Of course, Alan was not desperate to seek help from anyone. The reason why he chose to seek help from Yu Qi and the others was because they had gained Alan's trust when they had joined forces with him to fight against the antimatter legion.
Otherwise, no matter how short-handed they were, Alan would never have entrusted such a confidential matter to Yu Qi and the others.
Well, of course, there was also the factor that Xing and her team saved a lot of staff members during their mission yesterday.
"Of course, we are obliged to do this kind of thing!" Xing patted his chest vigorously, his expression was particularly firm: "Please order us around! No matter what the task is, we guarantee that we can help you complete it properly!"
"Hey, don't take on so much responsibility!" Rolling his eyes helplessly, Sanyueqi sighed: "Why do I feel like you're more of a headache than me?"
"How can you say it's an errand... We are really grateful that you are willing to help." Shaking his head vigorously, Alan pointed to the staff gathered not far away: "It's not a difficult matter. The staff are currently busy with the revival plan, so I would like to ask you to go to each compartment and see if they need any help!"
"If you can help, please do your best to help them deal with it. If you feel it is difficult, don't worry about it. After they report it, Miss Estelle will assign professionals to deal with it."
"okay!"
"Oh, right!" Looking at Xing and the others who nodded and were about to go on the mission, Alan suddenly thought of something and reached out to stop them: "Well, here is the commission fee, a total of 648..."
Reaching out and taking out some credits, Alan looked at the small and even whole bills in his hand, and said with a somewhat awkward expression: "Well, I, I don't know how much I should give... I have been provided with food and lodging here, and I don't have any concept of money..."
"648?!" Xing took a deep breath when she saw the credit points in Alan's hand. Just when Alan thought she thought the money was too little and was thinking about whether to ask Estelle for some funds as a commission reward...
"648, that's a huge sum of money!!"
"Ah?!" Stunned for a moment, Sanyueqi looked at the excited Xing in confusion. Although 648 is not a small amount, it is far from a huge sum of money, right? !
"Is this a lot?" Alan was also a little confused. Although he had no idea about money, he understood that 648 might not be a small amount, but a huge amount of money was a bit too exaggerated!
"Of course it's a lot!" Yong nodded, and took the credits from Alan with trembling hands: "After I got back to the train yesterday, I studied various games carefully and downloaded a lot of them. I heard from a big guy named 'Brownie' that in the old gaming era, 648 was enough to charge a whole order!"
"One order, I don't know what it means, but I know it's super, super expensive!"
"..." Looking at Xing's excited expression in silence, Sanyueqi couldn't help but sigh. After hearing what Xing said, how could she not know that Xing was fooled!
But seeing Xing so excited, Sanyueqi hesitated for a moment and gave up telling the truth.
Anyway, they came out to do the mission just to kill time and for fun. Money is not important at all, and there are not many places to spend money on the Starry Sky Train.
'After some time, after she has experienced more things, she will naturally understand.'
As for now, just treat it as a "dark history of childhood". When Xing matures in the future, he can bring it up and talk about it himself. Who knows how fun it will be!
With a smile on his lips, Sanyueqi looked at Xing who was still talking nonstop, raised his hand and pushed her back towards the elevator.
"Oh, okay, okay, I know you met a big shot while playing games, let's go, let's go and do the mission first!"
"Hey, March, don't push me!"
They walked into the elevator noisily, and as the elevator door closed, Xing and Sanyueqi subconsciously fell silent.
then……
"Um..." Blinking in confusion, Sanyueqi looked around: "Have we forgotten something? Why does it feel like someone is missing?"
"Ah? You forgot something?" Looking around the empty elevator, Xing asked, "Nothing? When we left, it was just you and me, and..."
The two of them froze at the same time, looked at each other, and then exclaimed in unison: "Yu Qi?!"
"Oh, how could we forget about Yu Qi?" San Yueqi slapped his forehead hard, speechless.
"I don't know!" Scratching his chin, Xing looked confused: "He was clearly following us before, but we just chatted with Alan for a while, and then he disappeared?"
"What should we do now?" Looking at Xing who looked innocent, Sanyueqi suggested: "Go back to him? Or should we continue the mission?"
"Uh..." After hesitating for a moment, Xing was about to speak when the elevator door next to him suddenly opened. He took a subconscious glance, but suddenly he couldn't move his eyes away!
What did she see? A treasure chest, and a treasure chest on the side of the road that seemed to be unattended? !
People came and went in the space station, but everyone ignored the treasure chest, as if they couldn't see it!
"Treasure chest~" His expression instantly became excited, Xing felt some blood boiling, and a primitive instinct and impulse surged in his heart.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Even adults will experience this. As a baby who is not even three days old, Xing is naturally not immune!
Since yesterday, after becoming a "player", Xing went from being ignorant at first, to the satisfaction of receiving the reward after completing the first mission, to the surprise of defeating the enemy and getting the materials dropped, to the joy of opening the treasure chest and getting the rich rewards...
Under repeated influence, her character inevitably began to degenerate into a real "player".
And what is the most tempting thing for a player?
It’s not about how good-looking the character modeling is, nor how explosive the damage output is, nor how generous the mission rewards are, but rather it’s just a treasure chest placed naked on the side of the road!
No matter what game, no matter what they are doing, the moment the treasure chest appears in the player's field of vision, all their consciousness will be completely taken away by the treasure chest, and their bodies will be dominated by instinct, rushing towards the treasure chest without hesitation!
Well, just like the stars now!
"Hey, wait, Xing, what are you doing?!" Shocked by Xing's actions, San Yue Qi quickly reached out to stop her: "That's someone else's stuff, you can't touch it!"
Although, she and Xing did find a few treasure chests when they defeated monsters yesterday, and even got a lot of good stuff out of them!
But, you can tell at a glance that those treasure chests are wild, so just open them!
Ahem, just kidding!
The main thing was that when they were opening the boxes, there was no one around, so March 7 didn't do much to stop Xing's actions.
Although many rewards were given out later, Sanyueqi secretly asked Esta and confirmed that those were not things from the space station. Considering the special nature of her current "player" identity, she didn't say anything more.
But now... this is in a crowded section, with so many people watching, no matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't just open someone else's box like that, right? !
"Why are you suddenly so excited when you see the treasure chest? Didn't I see you so excited yesterday?"
"Treasure chest~Treasure chest~" With red light flashing in her eyes, Xing didn't listen to what San Yueqi was saying at all, or rather, her body was moving faster than her brain at this moment.
With a quick step, he broke free from March Seven's obstruction and rushed to the treasure chest. As March Seven looked at him desperately, Xing stretched out his hand and opened the treasure chest in front of him with an expression like a pilgrim!
"What are you doing? Why are you rummaging through other people's things?!"
Seeing Xing's actions, a young clerk standing not far away came over immediately and criticized loudly.
Looking at the box in front of him filled with clothes and sundries, Xing withdrew his hand with a look of disappointment and let the young clerk close the box.
Beside him, March 7 hurried over and was about to explain to the clerk, but he angrily picked up the box, turned around and left the cabin.
"Oh, why is it that this isn't a treasure chest~" Staring absentmindedly at the space in front of him, Xing seemed to have lost his ideals and sighed: "Yesterday's treasure chests all gave me good things, but today's is actually a fake treasure chest! I'm so angry!!"
"Are you angry? I am angry too!" He rolled his eyes at Xing in annoyance. Sanyueqi couldn't help but complain: "I told you, this is someone else's stuff, don't rummage around. The treasure chests we found yesterday are different from this one!"
"What's the difference? They're all treasure chests!"
"..." With the corner of his mouth twitching, San Yueqi was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, he saw that it was a picture sent by Dan Heng.
Dan Heng: "Is this the treasure chest you mentioned yesterday?"
March 7: "Yes, yes, where did you find Dan Heng?"
Dan Heng: "I saw it yesterday when I was passing by. I heard you guys talking about it, so I came out to look for it today!"
「Location Sharing」
Dan Heng: "It's here. If you are interested, come and get it yourself!"
"Oh~" Xing, who had been peeking over next to Sanyueqi, cheered suddenly and instantly regained his spirits: "What a huge treasure chest, even bigger than the one we opened yesterday, and with this pattern, could it be the treasure chest of the Antimatter Corps?! Or is it the supplies for those monsters?"
San Yueqi's eyes lit up: "Supply of materials to the Antimatter Corps? Let's go quickly!"
Xinghe Sanyueqi ran excitedly towards the location coordinates shared by Danheng, completely forgetting about the mission and Yu Qi.
And at this time...
Where is Yu Qi who was forgotten by Xinghe and Sanyueqi?
"Hello, dear, would you like some refreshments?"
Chapter 234 Honey, I want a child...
"My dear, why are you looking at me like that? Would you like some cakes? Ten grams of sugar cubes and a dried salted plum blossom. Baking and cooking are the same as cultivating the universe. You have to control the heat well, be careful, and don't panic in any situation!"
"..." Yu Qi looked particularly solemn as he stared at the familiar woman in front of him in silence.
Breathing, hearing, vision, touch... every sense was suppressed to the extreme. Yu Qi could feel the friendly aura emanating from this woman, but it was precisely because of this that he felt fearful from the bottom of his heart.
Not caring about Yu Qi's vigilance towards her, the woman opposite smiled, picked up the pastry in her hand, and took a light bite, leaving a dense tooth mark on the pink pastry, which made people look sideways.
"Sweet pastries always remind me of flowers blooming. The fragrance will linger between your lips and teeth as you eat them bite by bite."
Reaching out her hand and handing the half piece of cake to Yu Qi, the woman smiled very kindly: "I hope you like it too. I put a lot of effort into it. You should try it."
Looking at the pastries in front of him in silence, Yu Qi forced himself to remain calm, but complex emotions kept surging in his mind.
"Hey, don't mess around with these things under my nose!" Heita patted the table impatiently and glared at the woman: "I've already told you, Ruan Mei, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't have anything else, don't waste our time here! Besides, didn't you say before that you didn't believe the data I gave you? Why are you running over here eagerly now!"
"Well, I really don't believe the data you gave, so I came to take a look in person!" As if she didn't see the obvious disdain in Heita's eyes, Ruan Mei stared at Yu Qi in front of her, with an indelible burning sensation in her deep green pupils.
"Now it seems that I believe in the authenticity of that data!"
Noticing the increasingly obvious expression in Ruan Mei's eyes, Yu Qi frowned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
'So, what is going on?!'
The story all started when Xing and the others started talking to Alan...
Just as Yu Qi was looking at Xing and San Yue Qi and chatting with Alan, a clear and gentle sound of a piano suddenly flashed in his ears, as thin as a thread. Even though there was a lot of noise around him, Yu Qi could still clearly hear the melodious music.
Yu Qi couldn't help but feel curious about this. He turned his head to look left and right, but he could only see the staff coming and going, and couldn't find the source of the sound at all.
This made Yu Qi feel a little conflicted. He really wanted to follow the sound of the music to find the person plucking the strings. He himself didn't even realize when he became so concerned about this sound of music.
Soon, the song ended and Yu Qi woke up from his intoxication.
Suddenly, the surroundings became much quieter. Yu Qi subconsciously looked up and was shocked to find that he had left the previous cabin and came to the containment cabin without knowing when?!
He was shocked, but at the same time, Yu Qi became extremely alert. His thoughts turned, and he quickly guessed what the problem was.
That piano sound!
He was definitely bewitched by the sound of the piano just now, and then under the other party's control, he unknowingly left Xinghe Sanyueqi and came here!
"What a terrifying ability! I didn't even have the slightest reaction, and I was controlled for so long?!" Yu Qi frowned and looked around carefully, not daring to panic, ready to deal with any crisis that might come.
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder: 'Why me?'
Logically speaking, he had only come into this world two days ago, so he shouldn't have made any enemies!
And he is not like Xing, who has obvious traces of other people's moves on his body and can easily embark on a different destinies. Apart from the pioneers, only Black Tower knows about this, and it is impossible for it to be leaked!
Moreover, except for the initial fight against the invasion of the antimatter army, Yu Qi did not help out everywhere in the space station like Xing did.
In other words, for the staff of the space station, although they all knew that several pioneers worked together to save the space station, except for Xing and Sanyueqi, they knew nothing about the names, appearances, or even genders of other people.
"Based on this, it shouldn't be my enemy, and it's even less likely that they are people who covet my uniqueness. The enemies of the space station shouldn't come looking for me..."
He eliminated all possibilities in his mind, leaving only one that Yu Qi felt was the most absurd - a random crime!
"The containment compartment... Could it be that someone accidentally picked up a lost artifact from the Black Tower's artifact storage room, and the function of this artifact is to confuse other people's minds. In order to test the power of this artifact, that person chose to secretly conduct experiments in the space station."
"As an outsider, I am not very strong and not well known by the space station staff. How can I become the best target?!"
Thoughts turned rapidly, the more Yu Qi speculated, the more helpless he felt in his heart: "So, this is really an unprovoked disaster for me?!"
"This is too outrageous, is it true that there are so many wonders in this world? Reality has no logic, only novels need logic?" Yu Qi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he did not relax his vigilance against the enemy in the dark.
Who knows if that person will choose to kill to silence the witness? It’s better to be careful.
However, just when Yu Qi was hesitating whether to cast a wave of 'Jade Shield' on himself in advance, another elegant sound of the piano slowly rang in his ears.
With a chill in his heart, Yu Qi subconsciously increased his concentration, with green and golden light flashing in his eyes. He secretly used the power of the concept of "watching a play" and covered himself with the "fourth wall" that could make people blind!
The reason why his consciousness was confused before was entirely due to his own carelessness. Yu Qi firmly believed that as long as he was well prepared, no matter how powerful the magic object was, it would be impossible for it to control his mind silently.
However, as if sensing Yu Qi's serious attitude, the sound of the piano this time did not contain any 'intoxicating' power, but was just as elegant and beautiful as before.
Taking careful steps, he walked in the direction of the piano sound, passed through the broken corridor, and soon arrived at a platform. He saw at first sight the elegant figure holding a strange pipa in his hands.
What made Yu Qi breathe a sigh of relief was that sitting opposite the woman with oriental temperament was the black tower puppet with an impatient look on its face.
