Chapter 45 Beating People in the Street
The Universe Mineral Trading Market is just a left turn at the end of this road. Both sides of the street are lined with mineral shops. They are simply decorated and have dusty facades. None of them are kept bright and shiny.

On the contrary, the small piles of mineral samples in front of the store are quite nice to look at. They are golden and openly displayed there, without any fear of being stolen.

Su Xiaocai identified those mineral piles and found that they were all ordinary gold ores. The whole pile might not be able to produce a few dollars. The thing that the universe lacks the most is gold.

It has a wide range of uses and strong ductility, but the quantity is really large.

The reason why it is called gold is that before humans started space travel, the uses and reserves of gold on the planet were suitable as a metal to measure currency.

After dusting off the surface of Su Xiaocai's gold ore, it still looks good even though it hasn't been refined into high-purity gold.

Buy a few pieces and make some jewelry, it will definitely be gorgeous.

In the end, Su Xiaocai gave up buying gold ore. There was a lot of gold for sale online, and a whole piece cost only a hundred yuan.

It is easier and less laborious than practicing it yourself.

Su Xiaocai continued to stroll around, feeling a little bored. On this all-mechanical planet, the scenery was all the same.

The birth rate is approaching zero. Without the laughter of children, people's desire to play has been reduced to a minimum.

After walking for a while, we saw the door of one of the shops was crowded with people. It was very lively. From their shouting, it seemed that star gold had been unearthed from the mine and the merchants all wanted to squeeze in to buy it.

There is no shortage of star gold Su Xiaocai for the time being, and Wu Qingqing promised to find seeds and minerals for her, including five kilograms of star gold.

Star gold is usually used as one of the coatings for surface machinery in space. A very thin layer can resist the impact of low temperatures on the machinery.

Buying ore directly is risky, as there is a possibility of buying ore with low content. Su Xiaocai doesn't like to gamble.

She didn't go into the busy store. Instead, she went to a metal store that sold semi-finished products. The ores that had undergone simple processing would be more expensive, but the clerk would proactively tell you the approximate percentage of the mineral content, and the purity of the main mineral would be much higher.

Su Xiaocai didn't expect that as soon as she entered, she would encounter the "Green Life Crystal" pink ore that she had been looking for for a long time.

Green Life Crystal has ores that are similar to crystal forms, and also has powdered ores. Many people do not recognize this powdered ore and only take it as a certain metal ore.

Green Life Crystal is also sold online, but the price is inflated and it is sold as a mid-level jewelry gem.

She is an expert at saving money and always shaves one or two yuan off the price of her seed shop, so how could she be taken advantage of?

Green Life Crystal is the most important companion crystal for the growth of Min Fruit. Only with it will Min Fruit be willing to bloom, bear fruit and reproduce.

Whether the cultivation of Min Guo can be successful depends on it. She plans to create a fake origin for Min Guo so that it will think it is still growing in its origin.

After Su Xiaocai bought all the minerals in the store at what she thought was an extremely low price, the clerk's mouth was almost grinning as she saw the distinguished guest off. She had never expected that such a useless mineral with a history would be bought out like this.

The world is impermanent.

The boss is right. There is no shortage of discerning customers in this world. They all have a unified name: suckers.

Su Xiaocai suddenly felt a chill on her back. Hey, who is complaining about her?
Touching the ore in her hand, Su Xiaocai was already imagining that in the future, Su's planet would be able to grow hundreds of acres of sweet fruit, with money pouring into her pocket.

Hey!

"Tell me, where is my son? He went into the mine with you and hasn't come back yet. Where did you take him?" In front, a tall man in black clothes roared fiercely at a junior employee. He kicked the pile of broken ore, breaking it apart.

The young employee hurriedly gathered the ore back and said, "Brother, I don't know what you are talking about."

"You still say you don't know, but you took him away." The man grabbed the young employee by the collar, "You don't want to tell me, right? I'll beat you until you tell me."

The young employee's cheek swelled up after he was knocked down by a punch. "I really don't know. We went to different places after entering the mine. I didn't know he didn't come out."

"You dare to say you don't know? It was you who introduced him to the gold mine. You were wrong for not bringing him out." The man hit him hard, every punch hitting the flesh, as if to vent his anger.

The young employee curled up as much as possible and hugged his head, crying out in pain.

Seeing that the young employee was about to be beaten to a pulp, someone shouted, "Stop beating him. You don't like your son and have always treated him as a burden. Is it worth beating someone to death for him?"

The man was a well-known gambler in the neighborhood. He shouted, "Even if he is a burden, he still belongs to me. This man must have sold him, and he must be sold through me. Where is the money?"

Essentially, men just want money.

When the young employee heard that he was asked for money, he didn't even dare to cry out in pain and just let the fists fall on him.

He has no money. If he is not poor, who would be willing to go into the mine? Any mine is dangerous.

Especially in mines in space, once the space suit is damaged or the mine collapses, there is no chance of survival.

Nowadays, many mines are developed by robots, but robots are not as cheap as human labor, and machines also need to rest and replenish energy.

Someone must be watching over them to ensure that if these robots break down, someone can take them out in time.

If the junior employee wasn't poor, he wouldn't do this job.

He was just helping a mine owner lead people into the cave. He also went in, and when he came out, everyone was fine. How could he know that his son would go missing?

"Forget it, forget it. You might as well call the police and find your son. When did he disappear? Could it be that he was playing around or was afraid of you and deliberately didn't come home?"

"You guys are still speaking well of him. Do you know that all the people he brought into the mine are missing?"

Hiss, they are all missing?

How many people would that take?
Everyone was skeptical, but if the young employee really kidnapped someone and made the person disappear, he would be guilty of a serious crime.

The shop owner was hiding inside the store and watching. He had already called the police and hoped that the newly hired employee could hold on.

The man got tired of beating with his hands, so he switched to kicking with his feet, over and over again, venting his anger with a ferocious face.

After an unknown number of kicks, a stone appeared in front of his calf.

"Ouch!" the man screamed in pain. Because he kicked too hard, the stone was kicked away again and landed on a girl.

Everyone turned their eyes and saw the little girl covering her forehead with bright red blood flowing from between her fingers.

The man panicked.

The material of this little girl's clothes is expensive, and you can tell at first glance that she was raised with great care.

"Wuwuwu." Tears were welling up in their eyes and refused to fall. Everyone took a step back, fearing that they would be implicated.

The man's angry mind cleared up.

The tool for making money (son) is gone, and now beating up a poor little guy who is loved by no one can bring disaster upon himself.

"Uncle, if you want to hit someone, just hit him. Why did you kick stones randomly and hit me?" The little girl said delicately, "I called the police. Don't even think about running away. You have to apologize and pay for the medical expenses."

"Why didn't the stone hit anyone else but you? It was your choice to stand there, so you can't blame me." The man tried to make excuses.

The little girl choked up and said, "I won't argue. I'll wait for the police to come."

"Damn it." When the police arrived, they would definitely favor the daughter of a wealthy family. The man looked around and suddenly rushed towards the crowd.

People moved aside.

The man ran out.

"Don't run! Wuuuu, don't even think about running!"

The crying behind him quickened the man's pace and he soon disappeared into an alley. If he didn't run, he would be a fool. If he killed a small employee, the worst that could happen would be jail time.

Having injured the daughter of a wealthy family, he may have to suffer inhuman torture for the rest of his life.

"Haha, coward." Su Xiaocai sneered, put down her hand, revealing her smooth forehead. She shook off the fruit juice on her hand, "Tsk, what a waste."

The onlookers suddenly realized that the little girl had a good trick.

Sometimes pretending to be pitiful is always better than confronting someone head-on.

The young employee looked up and saw the little girl standing there with her rosy face and a smile on her face. He couldn't help but blush.

"Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome, it's easy."

The man in black did not go far. He hid in the dark, thinking that the girl should have plenty of money, so he followed her to see if he could make his move.

Seeing that the little girl's injuries were fake, he became angry again and rushed over yelling.

With everyone witnessing him, he flew away peacefully.

At this time, the police also arrived and witnessed the whole process.

The man in black wanted to sneak attack the girl, but unfortunately, he met a student from military training and was thrown out by him.

Didn't see it!
"Uncle police, he wanted to hit me and I was acting in self-defense." Su Xiaocai stopped immediately, looking so innocent and harmless.

Police: "Don't worry, we saw it all."

This matter was easy to resolve. Su Xiaocai didn't even need to go to the police station to give a statement. The man had a criminal record, and she could find out what happened by checking the surveillance footage.

But the situation among the junior employees is more serious. Dozens of people are missing, and even the mine owner is missing.

It has been a week since the mine owner's family called the police, and the police are at a loss as to what to do.

They didn't expect that there was an insider hiding here, so they naturally had to bring him back for interrogation.

The young employee bowed and thanked him tremblingly.

"You're welcome." Su Xiaocai said with a smile, "Would you like to add a contact number?" The dirty employee tugged at his clothes, knowing that the other party would not be interested in him, but he still had some uncontrollable little thoughts, "Why... why?"

Su Xiaocai leaned in and whispered, "I like strange things. I also want to know why that man's son disappeared."

"Will it bother you?"

The young employee quickly shook his head, a little melancholy, and whispered: "I can't tell you until I go to the police station."

"Not urgent."

The young employee got into the car with the policeman, and the man in black was handcuffed and taken away.

Su Xiaocai, who had originally planned to take a taxi, thought it better to take the bus to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Even on a planet filled with soldiers, there are still a few rats crossing the street. Taking a taxi is risky, as there might be a few insect people hiding there, and then her vacation would be ruined.

The bus with the YJ license plate ran wildly and arrived at the military headquarters smoothly.

Su Xiaocai felt like there were hydrogen balloons tied to her feet, floating lightly. She floated to Ji Li and took a motion sickness pill.

Mecha driving did not defeat her, and space rotation training did not stump her.

Bus driver, a magical existence.

She ran to Ji Li and took two motion sickness pills to stop the shaking feeling.

Ji Li had two exhausted students here who were receiving nursing treatment. Their lifeless looks made Su Xiaocai laugh.

"What happened to them?"

"He was a troublemaker. He left the team during the mission and was beaten up like this by the instructor."

"Doctor Ji, where is your professional ethics? Woohoo, we are miserable enough. How can you ruin my reputation in front of Master Su?"

Ji Li put his hands in his pockets and said, "Don't struggle with what has been spread all over the school forum."

Su Xiaocai: "Why do you want to leave the team? Can't you just do your mission well?"

"It was so boring. And we didn't do it on purpose. We didn't sleep well last night, so we fell asleep."

Her brain froze after hearing their explanation. They could even fall asleep during a space mission. What kind of a perfect match was this?

Su Xiaocai gloated: "No wonder the instructor wants to teach you a lesson, you really deserve a beating."

Wolong: “嘤……嘤……”

Feng Chu: "If you can't cry, then don't cry anymore, it's like being unable to poop."

After the two students were cured, they asked to take a photo with Su Xiaocai and left happily.

For the first time in my life, I was lucky enough to take a photo with my idol.

Su Xiaocai is a really nice person. It would be better if she didn’t speak so harshly.

As soon as they left, Ji Heng arrived. He had just finished a training session and would go back to continue the group training later.

Seeing Su Xiaocai here, he was stunned for a moment, "Hello, classmate Su."

"You don't have to call me classmate Su, just call me Xiaocai. You are Ji Li's younger brother, so I'll call you Ji Er. It's more intimate."

God, please be more friendly. It sounds like you are calling him an idiot.

Ji Li: "This name sounds nice and suits him very well."

"Brother." Ji Heng's cold face exuded resentment, "I have something to tell you."

Ji Li nodded, "Go ahead."

Ji Heng looked at Su Xiaocai in silence.

"OK, I'll give you two brothers some private space. I'm a cosmic-level good friend with first-rate understanding." Su Xiaocai stretched lazily. She wondered if the insect man had been dissected, and whether Wisdom 03 could get some information.

After Su Xiaocai left the school infirmary, Ji Heng could no longer hold back and told Ji Li about his decision today.

After going out on a mission, your thoughts changed so much?
But breaking off the engagement was a matter of time. Ji Li didn't want Ji Heng to marry a wife who was possessive and controlling. "Have you thought about it? Are you not afraid of your mother being upset?"

"Everyone is sad sometimes. A short pain is worse than a long one. I don't want to talk about it after I've taken the last step with Xue Huiyi. It's not good for her reputation."

"But I don't know how to start. Brother, can you teach me?" In Ji Heng's mind, Ji Li's ability to hurt people with his words has reached the point of bringing the dead back to life. He can even poison the dead so much that they jump up and die of anger again.

"I won't help you. Think about it yourself. It's not me who's breaking off the engagement." Ji Li was disgusted that his younger brother had to ask him for advice after breaking up.

"Brother, did you think from the beginning that we couldn't go far?" Ji Heng could see that Ji Li didn't like Xue Huiyi very much, but Ji Li never said bad things about Xue Huiyi in front of him. At most, he would ask him to control Xue Huiyi and not let her dance near him again, just like last time.

"Not at first."

Before Xue Huiyi became Ji Heng's fiancée, Ji Li didn't even know her.

"About three years ago, when you had just entered the military training camp, I saw her persuade a suitor with just a few words and then use violence against another suitor outside the school. I knew what kind of person she was. I didn't record it, and I can't say anything without evidence."

"Then I did some research on who the bullied suitor was. An orphan."

The reason why Xue Huiyi wanted to deal with that man was simply because he was an orphan and he was not worthy of pursuing her.

Ji Heng's back bent, "Am I acting like a scumbag who doesn't know anything about his fiancée?"

He should understand and restrain her. He is her fiancé but he has never made any effort, is indifferent and has never paid anything. He is a scumbag.

Ji Li reminded: "Xue Huiyi is hopeless. She is already an adult and it is difficult to change her values. Don't think you can save her. Say it as soon as possible." To prevent his emotionally indecisive brother from getting involved again.

"Brother, you must have very little faith in me to think that the decision I made would change."

Ji Li let Ji Heng vent all his little complaints. A younger brother is always a younger brother, and even this was something he still had to discuss with him.

……

After being out for a few hours, it was already a little late, so Su Xiaocai let Xiaowanzi out to cook. Smelling the rich aroma of the food, her appetite increased greatly.

Sister Liang didn't come back, so Su Xiaocai left one copy for her.

After finishing the meal, it was still early, so Su Xiaocai remembered that she had to take on the responsibility of a master and go to watch Wu Qingqing train.

They are now wearing new equipment that only official mecha technicians have and are practicing wall sliding.

The daytime mission is space training, and from afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening, it is various physical trainings and training to adapt to new equipment.

It's much more intense than school.

At this time, the training ground had countless uneven walls and countless students were shuttling between them.

Since the equipment is somewhat maneuverable and requires proficiency, the rookies kept falling, each in a different posture and with a different cry.

"Ow!"

"Go to the nest!"

"Ah, I flew."

"Instructor, help."

The instructors were standing at the edge of the training ground, watching them fall all over the place. Not only did they have no sympathy, they even gloated over their misfortune.

“It flies beautifully.”

"Yes, it has the style we had back then."

"Hahaha, looking at them, I think I fell better than them back then."

Aren't they all falling? Su Xiaocai shook her head. They were all rookies, and when they fell, none of them looked good.

Fan Li saw Su Xiaocai coming over and asked cautiously, "Are you here to practice with the new equipment as well?"

"Do I still need to practice?" Su Xiaocai raised her head proudly, "Believe it or not, as long as I have the equipment, I will know how to use it, and then I can do it better than any of you."

"letter."

"I don't believe it!" An instructor put his arm around Fan Li's shoulder and laughed in a sly manner, "You little brat, you're so confident. Why don't you put on your equipment and show us how good you are at it?"

"I won't do anything that has no benefit." Monkey shows also require payment.

The instructor laughed and said, "Okay, if you win, I'll give you a midnight snack and you can have a meal in the cafeteria. If you lose, you can treat me and Instructor Fan to a meal."

Su Xiaocai smiled brightly: "I can't eat much by myself, if you can treat my teammates together, then I can show you what teaching demonstration is."

The strange instructor raised his eyebrows and turned to tease Fan Li, "Does this give you a headache? You two have two extreme personalities, so it will take some time to get used to each other."

In the imagination, Fan Li is hardworking and diligent, and in his heart he prefers students of the same type.

Su Xiaocai is obviously extremely arrogant and is the type of person who is most difficult to teach.

Fan Li remained silent: What's the point of running-in? Su Xiaocai has already replaced my position. I am just a coaching role now. I don't even have the chance to intervene.

　I'll post one chapter sooner and see if I can get the second chapter out in time, but I guess the hope isn't great.

　　Happy May Day to my baby! Thank you so much for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. You are so nice. I will give you a tight hug.
　　(End of this chapter)
