Chapter 41： 41st

The stall is the same as before, with scattered things piled up indiscriminately, and it is estimated that even the stall owner himself may not know what objects are piled up.

The products are also ordinary products. There is nothing strange at first glance.

It is the kind of stall owner that is very common in the underground market.

Are you suspicious?

Ruan Shiqing squatted down, rummaged through the booth at will, and said in small talk, "One of the rock crystals you sold me last time is fake."

? ? ? ?

The stall owner stared at him: "I never sell fakes, you don't want to deceive me, right?"

He subconsciously clenched the purse in his arms and said, "I don't have any money to corrupt you!"

There is no problem with the reaction and expression, Ruan Shiqing put away the test, raised his eyebrows and said: "Three rock crystals are mixed with a dragon egg, and a dragon cub hatched inside."

Stall owner: ! ! !

"The dragon cub you raised was hatched from the rock crystal I sold you?"

"Where else do you think it came from?" Ruan Shiqing raised an eyebrow and smiled.

The face of the stall owner is distorted: "How do I know this, I also received it from other places, this kind of rock crystal is generally produced by Lusuo and nearby planets."

"You have bought so many things, why don't you go to other planets to sell?" Ruan Shiqing asked casually: "Can't you get a bid on the B3024 star?"

"How do you know that I didn't go to other planets to sell." The stall owner laughed thiefly and fiddled with the bits and pieces on the stall: "What do you think this is all about? Sell ​​the remaining junk on the planet, otherwise why give you such a cheap price."

The other party's answer is flawless and the reason is very good.

Ruan Shiqing tried again and again to no avail, so he could only accept his thoughts, pointed to the small objects he had picked out, and said, "How much are these? I won't haggle with you today."

"You take advantage of me so much, you still want to bargain?"

Ruan Shiqing settled the bill quickly, waiting for him to pack the things for himself.

"You're doing well now, are you rich?" The stall owner asked curiously as he loaded up.

"It's okay." Ruan Shiqing joked: "But I won't make up the difference for you."

The stall owner shook his head, and said mysteriously: "I was stupid before, but this time there is a real treasure, do you want to take a look?"

Ruan Shiqing's heart moved, and he looked at him again: "Let me see."

The stall owner did not take out the treasure immediately, but looked around cautiously, and pulled the cloak to block the sight of the surrounding, and then took out a gray puff from the close-fitting clothes. Flutter the little bag.

He carefully opened the string of the bag, turned the mouth of the bag towards Ruan Shiqing, and said in a low voice, "I'll take a look at it and inspect the goods. This thing can't be eye-catching."

Ruan Shiqing looked over and found that it turned out to be a small bag of gems.

Various shapes, sizes and colors.

If true, it is estimated to be very valuable.

What he took out was a bit beyond Ruan Shiqing's expectations, but although the gem was precious, it was not special.

Originally wanted to say no, but Ruan Shiqing suddenly remembered what Xiaolongzai said before: when he was in the egg, his father said that he would eat all the gems at home. Later, when he looked up the information of the dragon clan on the holographic network, he also said that the dragon clan likes sparkling gems.

At that time, he was poor and poor, so naturally he couldn't buy such an expensive gem for the little dragon cub.

But now he has no shortage of money.

"How many coins is this bag?"

The stall owner frowned and hesitated for a while, then said, "One hundred thousand... right?"

He looked at Ruan Shiqing tentatively, probably waiting for him to bargain.

But Ruan Shiqing's attention is not on the price now, he asked: "Can this gem dragon cub be eaten?"

? ? ? ?

The stall owner glared at him with a look of "Do you have any disease, no one feeds the cubs to eat gems", "What kind of gems, the cubs can't eat them?"

He has heard of dragons that rain gems, and dragons that make beds with gems, but he has never heard of dragons that eat gems.

"Aren't you gnawing your teeth?" he asked cautiously.

Ruan Shiqing:…

It was only then that he knew that dragon cubs did not eat gems.

Inexplicably relieved, Ruan Shiqing transferred the star coins to him: "Then I want it."

Ruan Shiqing's briskness and generosity today surprised the stall owner, he almost reluctant to let go when he took his hand: "Let's leave a communication method, next time there is something good, I will leave it for you Go!"

Ruan Shiqing thought about it, and added a communication method with him before leaving.

After strolling around the market, Ruan Shiqing returned home with a bag of gems.

There is a lot of gems in a bag, Ruan Shiqing deliberately found an exquisite small box and poured the scrubbed and disinfected gems into it.

Gemstones of various shapes are stacked in a box to sparkle.

Such a beautiful gem, the other cubs may also like it.

Ruan Shiqing pondered for a while, then put down the work he was about to start, picked up the scratch paper, and drew a rough sketch.

The scratch paper was quickly filled with trinkets of various shapes.

Ruan Shiqing picked out the most satisfactory models, found the tools and materials, and started to do it by hand.

The little mermaid has a sapphire necklace, the little fox has a ruby ​​hairpin, and the snowball has a black gemstone earring.

As for the delicate little robot 09, you will get a jewel-encrusted bow tie.

Ruan Shiqing's hands are very fast. When he is tired from work and study every day and needs to relax, he starts to do handicrafts. It took almost three days of free time to prepare gifts.

He deliberately picked a time for the cub to return home from school and took out the gift.

The cubs were caught off guard and received gifts, like a group of happy birds flocking around Ruan Shiqing, and consciously lined up.

Ruan Shiqing took out gifts and put them on the cubs one by one.

The little fox didn't like to tie her hair, so Ruan Shiqing used gem hairpins to pin the bangs behind her ears;

The little mermaid's necklace is complicated and gorgeous, Ruan Shiqing carefully adjusted the length for him, just covering the scar on the neck.

The golden tassels on the necklace sway slightly, and the blue gemstones embellished at the end reflect the shimmer, which is delicate and gorgeous;

"It's your turn." Ruan Shiqing took out the black satin bow tie and walked to 09.

The little golden robot stood on the spot at a loss, the little red dot on the display kept flashing, surprised and surprised: "Do I have it too?"

Ruan Shiqing put on the bow tie for him, adjusted the angle, and said with a chuckle, "Of course. The bow tie matches you very well."

The only ones who didn't get gifts were Xiaolongzai and Rongheng.

"Where is mine?" The little dragon cub was so anxious that he kept spinning at Ruan Shiqing's feet.

Rong Heng glanced at him and snorted.

Nothing.

"Yours is the last." Ruan Shiqing picked up the black earrings and picked up the snowball lying on one side.

He had noticed earlier that there was an inconspicuous little hole beside Snowball's ear. At that time, he didn't care, nor did he think about the ear hole until he saw Mr. Rong.

Mr. Rong's right ear is wearing a small black ear stud, which is very inconspicuous, and if you don't look carefully, you may even ignore it.

—The brothers both have their ears pierced.

It's probably some kind of family tradition.

Ruan Shiqing carefully put the black gemstone earrings through the little cub's ear hole.

I didn't expect him to be so careful, Rong Heng's eyes moved, he glanced at him sideways, and with a light "woo", agreed with his words.

This ear hole was pierced by his mother when he was a child.

I hope the heroic spirit of the ancestors can bless him to grow up safely.

This is the most tender thing his mother has done for him in his memory.

After his mother died, he treasured the bone nail, but he still kept the habit of wearing ear nails.

I didn't expect Ruan Shiqing to notice.

There were shallow ripples in the bottom of her heart, Rong Heng stared at him for a moment, and rubbed his head against his palm.

Ruan Shiqing smiled and rubbed his head, then picked up the anxious little dragon cub and put it on his knee: "Okay, now it's your turn."

The golden pupils were round, and the little dragon cub looked at his father expectantly.

"This is for you, open it and see for yourself." Ruan Shiqing took out the exquisite small box.

The small box is the size of two palms, except for the gems used as accessories, the remaining gems are all inside.

The little dragon cub couldn't wait to open the lid, and when he saw the shiny gems stacked inside, he couldn't help exclaiming.

He hugged the little box tightly in his arms with joy, the little wings kept flapping behind him, and the whole happy cub was about to fly!

"Thank you, Dad." He rubbed Ruan Shiqing's arm vigorously, jumped off his knees, and started looking for treasures all over the house.

But there was no good place for him to hide in the house, the little dragon cub sat on the ground and thought about it, and finally put the gem box under his belly, and the whole cub lay on it, two small The miniature bat wings hang down, protecting the gem box.

The little fox looked disgusted: "You are like a miser now."

She doesn't think there is anything good about these little stones, they can't be eaten or played with.

But his size is too round, the small box is one-third the size of him, the little dragon cub spent a long time, but couldn't squeeze in, but instead got Nuotahao You're welcome to mock.

He threw all the gems on the cushion angrily, and then lay belly up on the gems before squinting his eyes contentedly.

Ruan Shiqing looked amused, this time the gems seem to be the right ones, the dragons really love gems by nature.

The cubs were very satisfied with their gifts, and when they went to school the next day, they couldn't wait to show them off.

Especially the little dragon cub, since last night, he has been holding the gem box and will not let go.

Ruan Shiqing couldn't, so he had to go with him.

Watching the cubs enter the school, Ruan Shiqing and 09 went to the appointment together.

—Shen Wuzhuo held a small party this morning.

The meeting place is a tavern opened by an ancient man in the southern district.

The pub is not high-end, but it is clean and tidy, revealing a nostalgic atmosphere everywhere, but invisibly narrowing the distance between each other.

When Ruan Shiqing arrived, Shen Wuzhuo and a few others had already arrived one step ahead. When they saw him enter the door, they all stood up and greeted him warmly.

Shen Wuzhuo, as the initiator, introduced Ruan Shiqing, and all the talents took their seats in the card seat.

The tavern owner Dodd came over with the wine: "My new 'Blue Star', you try it."

In the tall cocktail glass, the wine is deep and light blue, and there are some golden shards at the bottom, which looks very beautiful.

A few people picked up the wine glasses and touched a glass, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Ruan Shiqing has a gentle personality, and others are interested in making friends. Coupled with the identity of the ancient human race, the topic quickly opened.

When the topic spreads, it is inevitable to talk about Ruan Shiqing's career.

"With Mr. Ruan's strength, have you ever thought about going further? It's too unprofessional to stay in the B3024 star." The speaker is the businessman Joel, who spends most of his time between planets Contact, only occasionally return to the B3024 star.

Ruan Shiqing shook his head: "There is no such plan for the time being."

On the one hand, he is worried about the cubs at home, on the other hand, because he has been in the B3024 star for a long time, he gradually has a sense of belonging to this planet. Although this gray planet is barren and backward, and its legal system is chaotic, it also has its own uniqueness.

He was originally just an outsider. Compared with other planets, the B3024 star gave him a sense of belonging.

.

"Then Mr. Ruan must be a nostalgic person." Joel said with a smile: "Actually, this time I returned to the B3024 star for Mr. Ruan. I originally wanted to invite you to join 'Black Crow' The business alliance, with your ability, will definitely lead us to open up the market and compete with the four major oligarchs."

"Black Crow Business Alliance?"

"It is a business alliance established by some small technology companies that are unwilling to rely on the four oligarchs. The members of the alliance support each other to cope with the suppression of the four oligarchs." Joel helplessly spread his hands: "You too We know that technology and energy are now monopolized by the four major oligarchs, and if we retail investors want to survive, we can only keep warm.”

Ruan Shiqing has heard of the four major consortiums of the Galactic Empire. The big capitalists monopolize the market with absolute advantages, which will inevitably suppress emerging rookies and squeeze the living space of these small companies.

This is also the reason why the gap between the rich and the poor on the planets of the Galactic Empire is so large today.

Like the B3024 star, the metal waste of the capital star is continuously transported by the transport ships of the Schwarzschild Transportation Company, and then transformed through the energy center invested by Planck Energy to generate new energy, supply Necessary for the surrounding prosperous planet.

But everything is in the hands of the three giants, the government, Schwarzschild Transport and Planck Energy, and the interests belong to them, while the ordinary poor living on this planet get only Round-the-clock noise and metal junk that constantly squeezes living spaces.

When the giants relied on the converted energy to obtain huge benefits, the poor living in the metal garbage heaps can only make a living by selling garbage.

Ruan Shiqing is too aware of the darkness, but it is precisely because he is too clear that he is more aware of his insignificance and powerlessness.

This has been a long-standing problem, and no one can change it.

He shook his head and said helplessly: "You overestimate me, I'm just an ordinary mechanic, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Although he was rejected, Joel was not discouraged, he sighed: "You underestimate your own value."

But Ruan Shiqing had no intention of it, he didn't force it any more, but took the initiative to change the subject: "Even if I don't join the 'Black Crow', I still have a business I want to talk to you about, and I just received it recently. The other party's request for a shuttle machine modification is relatively high. I am afraid that only you can complete it among the mechanics I know. I wonder if you are interested?"

Ruan Shiqing will not refuse the serious remodeling business. After the two briefly communicated the specific content, Ruan Shiqing agreed.

He agreed quickly, Joel paid the deposit also, and promised that the shuttle would be delivered within three days.

The party has come to an end successfully. After drinking a few more drinks, and seeing that it was almost time for the cub to leave school, Ruan Shiqing said goodbye and went to pick up the cub from school.

In today's school, many cubs have "hero's badges" painted on their faces, some only have a short mark, and some are painted all over their faces with oil paint.

On the contrary, the little mermaid stands out from the crowd.

Looking at the cubs who drew themselves into strange shapes, Ruan Shiqing held back his laughter and picked up the little dragon cub that was glued to his feet.

"Why does it seem to be heavy?" Ruan Shiqing felt that something was wrong as soon as the little dragon cub got started.

It's only been a day, and the little dragon cub seems to have sunk a lot.

Ruan Shiqing thought he remembered it wrong at first, and asked 09 to hug him, and 09 also said that it really sank a lot.

"Is it starting to grow?" Ruan Shiqing looked at the little dragon cub carefully, and muttered to himself: "It seems to be a little bigger."

"Really?" Xiaolongzai himself was ignorant. He was very pleasantly surprised after hearing Ruan Shiqing's words: "No wonder the flames spit out today have also grown bigger!"

The little dragon cub spat out a small flame and showed it to Ruan Shiqing.

It is indeed bigger than before.

"Harry is getting more and more powerful." Ruan Shiqing praised him, and took Snowball into his arms, and the other hand held the little fox in human form, and went home together .

The little dragon cub, who was surprised that he was starting to grow, was very excited. As soon as he got home, he asked Xiong Yuanyuan to help him weigh him. After weighing, he stood on tiptoe and asked for his height.

! ! !

Nota sucks! ! !

Glancing at her, the little dragon cub ran away angrily, the little claws on the ground making a loud noise.

The little fox was inexplicable, and asked the little mermaid next to him: "Why is he suddenly angry?"

"..." The little mermaid was speechless and could only turn her face away.

The shuttle that Joel promised was delivered the next day.

It is a T5-a "Haiyan" shuttle from Quark Dock with a length of nearly 20 meters. The hull and protective shield have been specially strengthened. Very popular in the market.

Some transport ships use this type of shuttle for ship-to-ship cargo transportation, and some individuals use it as a means of transportation, which has a wide range of functions.

And the shuttle sent by Joel is obviously private transportation.

According to Joel, the customer identity of this order is relatively special, and the shuttle has high requirements for concealment and protection. The modification is mainly aimed at these two aspects.

Improvement in stealth and protection is nothing more than working on deflector shields and stealth devices. Ruan Shiqing has only worked **** these two researches some time ago, and he has a lot of experience. Practice hands-on.

The only pressing issue is the time issue. The other party paid a large amount of star coins to step up and required the modification to be completed within half a month.

Ruan Shiqing spent five days modifying the drawings repeatedly. After confirming the modification with the customer, he began to purchase materials and start the modification work.

The modification of the shuttle is much more complicated than that of a small shuttle car. Even if the Xiong brothers are on the side to do some basic work, Ruan Shiqing still spends most of his time on it every day. There's not even time to connect to deliver the cubs.

Fortunately, the cubs are very sensible. Knowing that Ruan Shiqing is busy with work, he has not been attached to him during this time, and they are all picked up by 09.

When Ruan Shiqing finally completed the modification of the main part of the shuttle, and could rest and breathe a sigh of relief, only to find that in just half a month, the little dragon cub had grown even bigger.

In the past, the little dragon cub was only as high as Nota's knees, but now the little dragon cub has reached Nota's crotch.

The little dragon cub didn't think there was any problem, but was secretly happy that he was about to catch up with his sister.

Ruan Shiqing had been busy with work before, and he didn't have time to show off. Now that his father was finally free, he couldn't help but sneer.

Two steps back before barely catching the overweight little dragon cub, Ruan Shiqing looked worried: "Why does it suddenly grow so fast?"

Since the shell is broken, the little dragon cub has not grown much, so why is it suddenly the same as taking hormones?

Ruan Shiqing thought about it and felt that something was wrong, but the little dragon cub looked in good spirits and could not find the slightest problem. He searched the holographic network and found no similar examples. For the time being, the worries were suppressed.

On the contrary, Rong Heng looked at the unconscious little dragon cub and frowned indistinctly.
