Chapter 159: Being Tricked
"Blue Star is the planet with the most intact ecology on the route of the Zerg invasion. You will soon live in the relatively intact buildings. In addition to training, you will usually clean up the collapsed buildings and restore the land here. If you dig up any cultural relics, please be sure to hand them in so that they can be better preserved."
Naturally, there is nothing we can do to them if they don't hand them over.
The Blue Star civilization is brilliant and beautiful, and is one of the origins of the political system of the Ten-Star Republic.
It’s just that the geography is not as good as the capital star, and it has always been on the national border.
When the mechanical planet was destroyed, most of the humans on Blue Star joined the army, and young and old had to leave their homes and wait for the opportunity to return.
Most of the people who carry Zergmen on the front lines every day are from Blue Star. They are very united and work hard to protect their homeland.
The people who received the students were also from Blue Star.
They stayed here to protect the flame of civilization and rescue more cultural relics and history.
There are ten high-rise buildings in total, distributed in ten different locations in the city. Several areas have been cleared and are currently used as training grounds.
After coming down from the space station, the reception staff took them to the military camp and handed them over to the soldiers.
Lieutenant General Bai stood on the high platform, looking around. When he saw Su Xiaocai, he waved to her.
Su Xiaocai waved to Wu Qingqing, carried the cat cage and pulled the suitcase, and strode onto the stage under the gazes of many people.
"It's been a long time since we last met. How do you feel about this place?"
"It's better than ever." Su Xiaocai initially thought that she would have to live in a space station or a spaceship. It's really great to be able to live on the ground.
Su Xiaocai said bluntly, "I want to live over there. That piece of black land is mine. I want to use it to grow things."
The direction she was pointing to was the land that the people of Blue Star had just cleared for buildings and were planning to grow some grass to raise livestock.
Su Xiaocai's thoughts at this time were simple and plain.
If you have land, you want to plant something, and that land is so good. You can tell at a glance that it is a good place to grow vegetables.
Lieutenant General Bai was speechless: "Are you still a scientist?"
"When did I become a scientist? I have always called myself a vegetable farmer. If I can't grow anything, I will leave at any time."
"Okay, okay. You are the distinguished guest, you have the final say."
Anyway, there are plenty of places, and the reason why we chose this place as our camp is because it is a bit far from the planet that can provide food.
We cannot rely solely on food delivery from outside.
Su Xiaocai wanted to grow vegetables, so he had to satisfy her. Anyway, she couldn't eat so much by herself, so he could definitely get some from her.
While everyone else was having a headache about arranging dormitories, Su Xiaocai lived in a single-family house and no one dared to disturb her.
In front of the building was the black soil that Lieutenant General Bai gave her.
In the vast fields, some places appear yellow or red, and there is a bit of desertification, which is most likely due to being "polluted" by insect people.
"This is the seed of the mangrove. You can plant it on the land polluted by the insect people, and the land will be improved after a while. Remember to dig it out before the mangrove bears seeds. Although the reproduction capacity of the mangrove is not high, it is possible to mutate and become an invasive species on Blue Star." Lieutenant General Bai naturally knew that Su Xiaocai had the seed of the mangrove. According to Su Xiaocai's personality of not wanting to suffer any loss, he would definitely ask them for it. The feeling of giving it actively and passively is different.
Su Xiaocai was very happy that Lieutenant General Bai remembered this, and Hua Xin also took the opportunity to get her the materials for refining Insect Killing.
After that they left, saying they had something else to do and would come back later.
Su Xiaocai didn't care and turned around to get back to work.
She took out her box of space buttons. Yes, a box.
Ji Li gave it to her as a toy.
Well, to be precise, she saw it, showed a longing look, and then Ji Li had to let her play.
So she used it to store all her small rags.
For example, she moved a second-hand excavator, a die-casting machine, and chips all over the space, just like moving house.
Soon, the front of the house was filled with various machines.
Then Su Xiaocai let Huahua out of the cat cage, and then Chibi Maruko.
Chibi Maruko saw a new place and looked around.
"Let's get our new home together."
Chibi Maruko is best at housework, cleaning, making beds, and changing lamps.
Su Xiaocai checked the energy supply of the house, prepared backup energy, installed warning devices around the house, launched a monitor into the air, and set up a protective cover.
Build a single-family building into an iron barrel.
The soldiers who were secretly responsible for protecting her fell silent. With this kind of protective awareness, even if they died, she would not die.
Su Xiaocai was very efficient and it only took half a day.
Soon, many small farming robots came out of the house one after another, measuring the land and marking any large rocks they saw.
Su Xiaocai drove the hoe mecha that had not appeared for a long time, moving stones, making ridges, and using drainage pipes to solve irrigation problems.
A happy and busy figure, forgetting everything.
At the end of the measurement, Su Xiaocai counted and found that there were 30 acres of land, all of which was black soil, with a depth of about one meter. It was a pleasant surprise.
She thought it would be a bit boring to come to the front line, but who would have thought that she could grow vegetables freely.
The mecha walked back carrying a hoe, jumping with every step, which was very funny.
While they are free, the vegetable farmer, Huiya Staff and Lieutenant General Bai who came to find Su Xiaocai: "..."
They stood together on the edge of the field, with no light in their eyes.
As handsome as Su Xiaocai is when he beats people, as rustic as Su Xiaocai is when he farms.
The hoe mecha is really eye-catching, and the combination looks like a
She is so rich, why does she still need to drive this kind of mecha?
Su Xiaocai is not ashamed of it. She is environmentally friendly and proud of it. No one understands the charm of the hoe mecha better than her. The ugly mecha can be used for farming without worrying about getting dirty.
Moreover, every piece of land she cultivated was profitable, and she used the new mecha to grow crops. The money from farming was not enough for her to buy mecha parts.
Pragmatism, or being used to being frugal, means that unnecessary spending is unnecessary.
As for the land on the capital planet.
That is the product of impulse. All women have times when they consume impulsively. That's right. Su Xiaocai will never admit to being called a sucker.
If she has the ability to buy it, she has the ability to earn it back.
If someone objects, she can only use the ultimate killer move: she truly loves the Hoe Mecha, and her love brain is invincible.
Su Xiaocai jumped off the mecha.
The scene in the cabin came into view and light appeared in their eyes again.
It is a brand new mecha cabin, the same mecha cabin that once appeared in the New World Competition.
No matter how ugly the Hoe Mech is, it is equipped with top-notch internals, which increases its value countless times.
Only Wu Qingqing was used to it. She was the eldest disciple and had not only touched it but also sat on it.
Lieutenant General Bai put his hands behind his back and raised his chin. Admiral Bai's mecha had been delivered and the balance had been paid, so there shouldn't be any problem with his mecha.
"Coach Su, little Su Su, I want to experience it." Hu Ping knows how to express himself best, just ask if he wants.
"I want it too, classmate Su. I want to experience it too." You Shiqing had bandages on both of her arms, but that did not hinder her positive and enterprising spirit.
"Haven't you test-driven it?" The vegetable farmers' customized mechas and standard mechas all have this kind of cockpit.
Before she left, she gave them the mecha.
Hu Ping: "We need to keep our mechas a bit mysterious." They have never been flown on an aircraft carrier, so we are afraid of leaks.
The most advanced mechas cannot be left on the battlefield, just like the Black Wing, which is destroyed beyond recognition, but there are still people willing to spend a lot of effort to drag it back for research.
So Hu Ping followed suit and even felt that others had ulterior motives when he showed it off.
It turns out that others really do have plans.
The man with the Staff of Huiya is one of them.
Faced with the enthusiastic children, Su Xiaocai had no choice but to open the cockpit to them for experience.
"Don't break it, it's been with me for many years, it's a great old thing."
Su Xiaocai's words made sense, focusing on sentiment. She believed that some value must be added to the hoe mecha, and when it came to claiming compensation, she would definitely not sympathize with their wallets.
Young people who didn't know Su Xiaocai's original intention thought that she really had a deep affection for the hoe mecha and used it with caution.
"Don't damage it. Put on gloves before touching it with your rough hands."
"You are very strong, so you should be the last one to drive."
"Did you wash your hands after taking a shit?"
"Washed? Washed twice more. You ate a lot yesterday and pooped a lot, so you must have used two more pieces of paper to wipe your butt."
"???"
The topic gradually became weird.
Su Xiaocai had a blank expression on her face. What a bunch of idiots.
Lieutenant General Bai suppressed a laugh. "Where's my mecha?" Su Xiaocai reached into his pocket and threw him a space button. "It's very different from the mechas you've driven before. You may need to get used to it. There's also a data storage disk inside. You can try it in the simulation cabin first."
"Thank you. I will give you the balance tomorrow. By the way, how many stars is the mecha?" Lieutenant General Bai asked softly.
"You'll know after you try driving it." Su Xiaocai did not forget the main purpose of coming here, to help Lieutenant General Bai improve his Qi. "Are you free at 8 o'clock in the evening? When you feel that your physical condition has recovered, come to my residence. I want to observe your Qi condition."
"Do you also know medical skills?" Lieutenant General Bai had of course consulted General Bai about this question, but General Bai didn't know the answer very well, so he didn't have time to ask him in person.
"Know a little."
Lieutenant General Bai couldn't guess whether she understood a little or a billion.
"General Bai's request is to ensure that your genes do not collapse when you break through, and to help you break through as soon as possible before the full-scale war." Su Xiaocai said confidently: "I am a person who will not break my promise once I have agreed."
The key to this battle is to find the hidden Matrix and Zerg warriors and then eliminate them.
Therefore, it is very important to ensure Lieutenant General Bai’s strength.
But it is difficult to say how many there are in the mother body.
We can only monitor and calculate, usually based on the concentration of insects. After the mother in a certain area is killed, after a round of killing, whether the density has dropped, whether there are new insects appearing, etc., are all means of calculation.
The battle situation is not intense yet. It is likely that the Matrix and the Zerg warriors have not yet taken command of the battlefield, or, there are no Matrix and Zerg warriors at all.
The Zerg were too scattered to use their planet-destroying weapons. They could only advance little by little.
Su Xiaocai suddenly thought of something. Lieutenant General Bai and his deputy Lieutenant General An were both a barrier to killing the insect warriors. There were also five senior generals sent by other troops who were fighting against the insect warriors.
Lieutenant General Bai is the commander-in-chief, but he is always overwhelmed.
Before, Su Xiaocai thought that General Bai was just setting a trap for her by sending her to the battlefield to help Lieutenant General Bai increase his strength.
It turned out that he had tricked her twice, and Admiral Bai was insuring Lieutenant General Bai.
Lieutenant General Bai's aura was upgraded, and everyone was happy.
If Lieutenant General Bai can't handle it, he can secretly let her take over. This won't be too difficult to do.
She has strength, strategy, and the ability to convince the public. More than 100,000 contestants must be willing to listen to her orders.
Isn't he just a ready-made commander?
Hiss, what a good guy, what a calculation, General Bai plays the Yin-Yang card very well.
She lost a lot on this insurance.
Su Xiaocai has heart pain.
If you win, you lose your rank; if you lose, we die together.
General Bai wanted to keep Lieutenant General Bai in his position. He used benefits to lure her, made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and secretly moved to Chencang to drag her into the water.
It would be best if these two months went smoothly.
Otherwise, if she doesn't pull General Bai's hair out again when she returns, her surname is not Su.
Xiaowanzi has prepared a feast, "Cai Cai, it's time to eat."
"Okay okay."
She told Wu Qingqing to remember to put her mecha away after playing.
Wu Qingqing leisurely watched the Maluos snatching things and saluted to Su Xiaocai, "Yes, sir." As expected of me, I am the chief disciple. I don't fight or compete, but the master gives me the important tasks.
The cocky Wu Qingqing pointed at Hu Ping and told him not to play too long and to let the next one take his turn.
Hu Ping: "You can't hit me, so I'm just playing, I'm just playing, what can you do to me?"
"If you don't obey the orders of my chief disciple, you will be severely punished."
"What kind of punishment?"
"Castration."
Hu Ping stopped playing immediately and obediently shouted "next".
This conversation fully exposes the true nature of the vegetable farmer, a clear and stupid college student.
Su Xiaocai shook her head, waved goodbye to Lieutenant General Bai, and went straight into the detached house.
Half of her feast was dry goods. There was not much fresh food in stock, and the canteen would have more pre-prepared dishes. She would not wrong herself if she had something delicious.
Agriculture on this planet is basically destroyed.
The collapsed buildings showed what had hit them. It must have been destroyed by a large army of insect men.
The Zerg swarm attack would be a devastating blow to any planet. The fact that Blue Planet could withstand it shows that the power of unity is infinite.
When I start my own vegetable farming business...
Forget it, I guess her mission is over.
Save as much as you can and speed up the pace of farming.
It’s late at night and the contestants should have a good rest, but they have to start working.
After playing with the Hoe Mecha, Ji Heng and the others went to the cafeteria to have a full meal.
As soon as I returned to the dormitory, I was assigned to clean up the collapsed building.
The machines are provided by Blue Star, and they can also use their own mechas. There may be corpses under these houses. I hope they can be as gentle as possible when they see them, and record where they were found.
At that time, the identities of the deceased will be recorded and they will be given a decent collective cremation.
The army did not disrupt their players' team, and Ji Heng and six others happened to be in the same room.
Wu Qingqing and the other three were in the same room. There were two other girls in the room, but they were the winners of the individual competition.
The two girls have brown skin and look a little thin.
The timid look is not due to fear, but just timidity towards the outside world.
Wu Qingqing and the other three were dressed very well and looked fair-skinned, like rich people. On their planet, the rich secretly possessed privileges and acted tyrannically.
If you offend the rich, they will beat you up and it will be difficult for you to win the case. They have lawyers, but they don't. They are habitually afraid of the rich.
The establishment of the new world has broken the shackles that only the rich can pilot mechas. They are the cyber mecha masters supported by the townspeople.
They had never been out of the planet before, so they didn't know whether the people outside were easy to get along with. On the Internet, people spoke too freely and it was difficult to see people's true colors.
Facing Wu Qingqing and the others, they didn't know how to react.
Wu Qingqing watched them eating the cold rice balls: "You guys have been in the dormitory the whole time? You didn't go to the cafeteria."
"We don't want to waste food, so we eat these first." In fact, they were afraid that they would have to pay for meals in the cafeteria, so these rice balls were taken from the aircraft carrier.
For this journey, the New World announcement stated in advance that the ship ticket was free and food and accommodation were provided free of charge, but it did not say that free food would still be provided after arriving at this place.
So they thought it would be better to finish the food in their hands first and then go to the canteen later.
Wu Qingqing: "Hurry up and eat, and then we'll go to work together. The military has notified us that the people in our building must clean up the land in front within three days."
The reason why Wu Qingqing knew it earlier than them was because the organizer was Ji Heng. The higher-ups just sent out a notice, and it was up to the contestants to decide how and when to do it.
Providing free food and lodging also requires some work.
It can't just be pre-match training, and this is not a final in the traditional sense.
The two looked at each other for a while and nodded in agreement. Wu Qingqing didn't look like a bad person.
They exchanged names with Wu Qingqing, Suomeiya and Suomeini.
When they heard that Wu Qingqing was Qingqing Zaiwu and Xingmiao was the witch, they worshipped her. "You are the witch? God Soma bless us, we finally see the real person. You were really good in the competition, like the incarnation of God Soma."
They have social media accounts, but the internet in the town is not very good. They have to go to the city for training on weekdays. Once in the city, they dare not relax for a moment. It’s all about training.
So I only know a few of the most famous people in the competition.
The most recognizable name is Shenpo, which is as mysterious as her command. After meeting her in person, I felt that the word Shenpo was even more appropriate. She looked so good, exactly as I imagined.
There is a certain aggressiveness in the beauty, but the temperament is the opposite, cold yet gentle, which dilutes the aggressiveness and conforms to the public aesthetic.
Even those who have had plastic surgery don’t look as good as her.
The sincere praise made Xing Miao embarrassed, "It's just a nickname. Don't deify me. I don't believe in God. I'm just like Coach Su. I only believe that man can conquer nature."
Somaya and Somini suddenly stopped talking about the gods they believed in.
They had long known that people outside did not believe in God, but Xing Miao, who called herself a fortune teller, also said that she was not a believer, and they felt a little disappointed.
It feels like we are not on the same path.
So they finally rejected Wu Qingqing's suggestion to go with them, and let Wu Qingqing go first, and they would follow later.
Wu Qingqing didn't care and went downstairs with her friends.
Outside the balcony, there is a floating board for lifting. After stepping out, the silver board floating in the air sinks quickly.
After reaching the ground, Wu Qingqing stepped out and kept greeting the people around her, whether she knew them or not.
"Qingqing, you are better than Caicai." Feng Wansha complained.
"No, my driving skills are still far from perfect."
Feng Wansha: You are selective in not understanding. Good job.
Ji Heng was already waiting for them in the open space downstairs, with excavators, cranes, handling tools, rescue helmets and gloves all ready.
