Soul Mechanic [Interstellar] - Chapter 134
[The magical effect of meatballs]
Despite Mu Qiu’s harsh words, when the little jelly looked at him cutely with big eyes, Mu Qiu was still softened.
Speaking of jelly, he yelled that he already had a master, and he could no longer recognize Mu Qiu as the master. However, its actual actions depended on Mu Qiu’s pocket, and had no intention of leaving.
Mu Qiu acquiesced in the little guy’s sly behavior.
In order to visit the young boy in the windbreak tunnel, Mu Qiu deliberately dipped some bone soup **** with water. The soup was milky white and not so greasy, just suitable for patients to eat.
Mu Qiu thought about the number of children in the air-raid shelter, probably because they had a big appetite, so he deliberately did more.
As a result, with the effort of washing one’s hands, a large pot of soup and meatballs magically disappeared.
In the corner, the baby-faced youth bulged his mouth and chewed desperately; beside him, his naked body trembled with a yellow onion head on his back.
Mu Qiu stood there in shock, full of black lines.
Dabai opened the fresh-keeping cabinet silently and chopped the meat away.
Mu Qiu had to refill the pot with water, soften the bones with a high-pressure machine, squeeze out the bone marrow, and repeat the previous series of actions again.
The two culprits stood far away, one biting his nails and the other waving his tentacles, not knowing what they were calculating.
——
In the windbreak.
The injured teenager leaned against the wall, looking much better than yesterday.
He saw Mu Qiu and Lan coming in with obvious gratitude on his faces. However, thinking of what was about to happen next, the young man’s face slipped with an inconspicuous terror.
Lan sighed, patted the young man’s shoulder lightly, and comforted: “If the effect is good this time, it will be completely healed.”
The boy nodded and said politely: “Thank you, please start!”
Lan smiled at him, winking at Mu Qiu.
Mu Qiu did not use the restraint rope Lan gave him, but pressed the boy’s body with his hands.
The teenager smiled at him, but did not refuse.
Lan gritted his teeth and quickly poured the mineral powder in the crystal bottle into the boy’s mouth as before.
The pain like a raging fire spread to every muscle, bone, and skin of the body like a torrent, and the boy’s face instantly turned pale.
A trace of intolerance flashed across Mu Qiu’s face, and Lan turned his head uncomfortably.
The gray-skinned teenagers hugged each other and comforted each other in this way.
At this moment, a small yellow antennae stretched silently to the boy’s mouth, and the round tip poked lightly.
The boy opened his mouth subconsciously, and a powdery meatball rolled into his mouth.
The boy was shocked and chewed mechanically.
Jelly felt very distressed, and the two tentacles came to each other aggrievedly.
Mu Qiu couldn’t laugh or cry. He didn’t even think that this guy even hid a meatball privately-the point is, he still carried this guy all the way in his pocket!
Mu Qiu touched his jacket pocket, and was extremely thankful that the clothes of Level 7 Civilization had an automatic cleaning function.
Besides, on the boy’s side, after a few reflex movements of his mouth, a shocked expression suddenly appeared on his face, and then he chewed quickly.
A meatball was eaten quickly, and the black bright eyes of the young man looked at the yellow jelly.
Jelly quickly covered her belly, her big eyes were extremely innocent.
Lan seemed to be aware of something and turned around and shouted, “Autumn, meatballs!”
Mu Qiu reacted quickly and quickly filled a bowl of meatballs to the boy’s mouth.
The young man felt ashamed for a moment, and finally, unable to withstand the temptation, he ate one bite at a time.
As the boy’s face gradually improved, Lan’s expression became more serious.
Mu Qiu recalled, but couldn’t hide his shock, “Could it be…”
“It’s Yan Beast Meat.” Lan said startledly.
“Or bones.” Mu Qiu added.
Lan nodded, then turned to look at the boy, “How are you feeling now?”
“It doesn’t hurt so much…no no, it doesn’t hurt at all now!” The young man touched his wound, his expression of surprise and excitement could not be concealed.
Mu Qiu and Lan looked at each other, and both saw an inexplicable brilliance in each other’s eyes.
Next, Mu Qiu put the newly made pot of meatballs in the disposable tableware, and served them bowl by bowl to the teenagers.
Although the teenagers looked so greedy that their saliva was about to fall, they did not eat right away, but looked at the injured teenager inquiringly. It was not until the teenager nodded that they gulped.
Only then did Mu Qiu notice that the injured teenager looked a little different from the aboriginal teenagers—the teenagers looked more like federal humans, and they didn’t have tentacles on them.
I don’t know if he was trying to hide something, so he deliberately painted his skin a dusty color.
Seeing Mu Qiu’s doubts, the young man took the initiative and said: “I am not an aboriginal. I was exiled to the Wild Star. Later I met Ahui and the others.”
Mu Qiu was taken aback, not only because the teenager was able to communicate with him, but also because of the words in his mouth, “Exiled?”
The boy nodded, a gloom flashing in his eyes.
“Is it because of your father?” Lan asked actively.
The boy sneered, “It’s just a gene provider, I don’t have a father.”
Lan unconsciously grasped Mu Qiu’s hand, and his original excitement became very depressed.
——
On the way back, Lan explained the term “gene provider” to Mu Qiu.
It turned out that the Kanter Empire, as a seventh-level civilization, faced a serious problem-reproduction.
The ethnicity of the Kanter Empire is divided into six levels from low to high-yellow, brown, gray, blue, green, and white. The division of these six levels is not only a symbol of status, but also a manifestation of ability.
However, along with it, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to reproduce.
Mating and breeding have disappeared among the nobles above the blue coat, and it is difficult to breed outstanding individual offspring even with the use of genetic technology.
Perhaps it was because of their own arrangements. Two thousand years ago, when the nobles were in danger of extinction, a magical species was born, and that was the fruit of pregnancy.
Although it is called “pregnant fruit”, it is not actually a kind of plant, but an asexual embryo. They wander in the interstellar like a starry beast. When the individual’s powerful genetic factors are combined with the pregnant fruit, the next generation can be born.
Where the embryo comes from and where it appears are often random. People in the Kanter Empire prefer to call the appearance of the pregnant fruit “birth.”
In fact, pregnancy results are not difficult to find, but the combination is not easy. Even after the combination is successful, it will not be able to successfully cultivate sound thinking ability and personality.
An embryo without a sound mind or personality has little hope of growing up smoothly.
The more the higher aristocratic genes are, the more difficult it is to succeed.
For example, the sires of the Kanter Empire are all single-passed. When they arrived at Kanter Eighteen, they finally found two pregnant fruits with the same attributes, but none of them were raised smoothly.
It is said that the boss blew himself up because the pregnant fruit was unable to withstand the powerful genetic energy, and the second child had an accident because of political opponents.
There is also gossip that Kanter XVIII was hit hard by this, and since then he suffered from depression and never appeared in front of others.
Whether it was the existence of the pregnant fruit or the gossip of Kanter Eighteen, Mu Qiu was stunned and sighed again and again, “There is nothing strange in the world.”
——
The next day, Lan rushed to produce a new batch of jelly powder, adding bone powder, dehydrated meat powder, and the powder of the two.
It’s also a coincidence that Mr. Kuku, a former large customer, the green-clothed nobleman, sent a transaction application that night.
“Still ten bottles of cold jelly?” Lan greeted enthusiastically as usual.
“Yes.” Mr. Kuku behaved politely. This time he quickly noticed Mu Qiu and asked actively, “Are your friends still there?”
“Yeah!” Lan looked at his friend who was tidying up the room, and said proudly, “Qiu is very good, not only can tidy things up very well, but also make delicious meatballs-you will feel good immediately after a bite. stand up!”
“Oh?” Mr. Kuku is obviously more interested in the “meatballs” in Lankou. “The “meatballs” you said can really make people feel better?”
“That’s right, I’m like this!” Lan nodded without hesitation, and added, “So does jelly.”
Mr. Kuku showed obvious hope, “If you can, can you please add this kind of ‘meatball’ to the ranks of trading products?”
“Uh…” Lan looked very embarrassed, “Qiu only makes two pots at a time, it is not enough to eat.”
Mr. Cuku did not intend to give up easily, “The price is up to you, can it?”
Mu Qiu finally couldn’t listen, and walked to the trading machine, and said politely: “I’m sorry, I think you have misunderstood. Meatballs are just a kind of food made from flaming beast meat. They don’t make people feel happy. The effect is because Lan loves to eat, so he feels happy.”
Only then did Mr. Kuku understand it, and asked curiously: “Can the flame beast meat also be eaten?”
On the contrary, this question made Mu Qiu stunned and looked at Lan in surprise.
Lan scratched his cheek, and whispered to Mu Qiu: “Only the aborigines eat natural food, and the nobles of the Kanter Empire eat special nutritious meals.”
Only then did Mu Qiu understand.
Mr. Kuku smiled on the other side of the screen and didn’t ask more.
Lan sent him ten bottles of ordinary jelly, hesitated, and then took out three small bottles with numbers.
Mr. Kuku noticed his movements and couldn’t help asking: “What is this? Is it a new formula?”
Lan nodded, and said, “It’s a new type of jelly. I just made it today. Time is a bit rushed. I haven’t had time to experiment with the effect. Would you like to try it out? I gave it for free.”
Mr. Kuku smiled, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, “Yes, is there any new effect?”
“There are some small changes… what I know so far is probably to eliminate the severe pain caused by mineral powder.” Lan did not dare to say too hard, “Because no experiment has been carried out, it is not clear which of the three formulas. It works, of course, at least there will be no side effects. Would you like to try it?”
When Mr. Kuku said the first sentence, his face became serious. You must know that the cold jelly that can relieve pain is definitely not just a “small change”.
Mr. Cuku didn’t say more, instead he clicked the transaction button without hesitation. He did not treat it as a free gift, as Lan said, but paid at double the price.
This makes Lan a little embarrassed.
“What if it doesn’t work?” After Lan turned off the transaction machine, he looked at Mu Qiu nervously.
“Then return the money to him. In this case, even if it doesn’t work, there is no loss for him, isn’t it?” Mu Qiu patted Lan’s shoulder and said thoughtfully, “Compared with this, I On the contrary, I am more worried about another thing.”
“Huh?” Lan asked Mu Qiu.
“If once it is confirmed that the meat or bones of the Yanbeast can really alleviate the side effects of the jelly? For this population, will it encounter unsuspecting disasters?”
Mu Qiu organized a few words and continued: “I mean, or someone was injured by the Flame Beast, or for profit, will more and more people take the initiative to hunt the Flame Beast? You know, those killed. That one is not the one that hurts.”
Lan understood what Mu Qiu meant, and couldn’t help but smile: “Dear, you are really kind!”
Mu Qiu felt his ears, noncommittal.
“However, there is no need to worry about this matter. Researchers on the starry beast have already given credible conclusions. The tyrannical and aggressiveness of the beast is ethnic instinct, not an individual behavior. Just like a virus, kill one more. It will reduce the threat to mankind by one point.”
Mu Qiu was relieved.
——
Mu Qiu has been to Huangxing for ten days, and the asteroid belt of the Milky Way will only be two days past.
In two days, the Milky Way has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The army that once seemed to be well-ordered and equipped with advanced equipment is simply vulnerable to the enemy’s technology that crosses the boundaries of civilization; once relied on the superior and inexhaustible sentinel, under the attack of the essay armor, the federal government can only catch it , I don’t know when it has been infiltrated by the enemy; the Tower of London, which once looked up to the sky, was smoggy because of Mary Rhein’s rebellion.
Only then did people realize that the Milky Way is really going to change.
This beautiful galaxy that has been operating silently for hundreds of millions of years is now facing the crisis of being colonized; people who once lived and worked in peace and contentment are likely to experience the fate of becoming inferior people.
In the face of this situation, the owner of the Sky Dragon, the former Federal Major Chu Qingtian, couldn’t make the order for the leap.
Finally, he deeply kissed the ring he had changed to the ring finger, and made a decisive command to “join the war”.
This time, Little Carrot didn’t blame him at all, but he was relieved-Qiuqiu will definitely support Tiantian to do this. Qiuqiu said that Tiantian is the most handsome when he wears a military uniform!
This day was March 3, 6019 in the interstellar calendar, and the most famous “Galactic Defense War” in the history of the interstellar officially broke out.
All members of the Sky Dragon participated in this battle, and the Mermaid, Snow Lotus and Snow Wolf tribes all rushed over and became temporary members of the Sky Dragon as free citizens.
Of course, there is also the ladybug family, they have become regular members of the Tianlong.
It is worth mentioning that Pumpkin’s family, the golden armor leader of the Ironclad Star, took the initiative to get in touch with Major General Lin Yi, and summoned a group of tribesmen to join in as individuals.
This time, they not only provided weapons and technology, but even personally went to battle against the attack of the Iron Spider Star.
I have to say that with their participation, the federal army was able to breathe a little.
In short, whether it is a sentinel, a guide, an ordinary person, or a special species, everyone spares no effort. In their eyes, the Milky Way is their home, and the Tianlong is their best partner, and no one has the right to trample.
They formed a new clan-the tree-man clan.
More and more people pay attention to this special team, not only because of their special race, but also because more than half of the members are minors.
Under the influence of the Shuren team, more and more ordinary people are enlisted in the army, doing what they can with enthusiasm.
This time, the citizens of the galaxy are united as never before.
It is conceivable how many heroes will be created and how many touching stories will happen.
