[BOOK 1] Qt : Nice To Meet You

chapter 113

 Yegel saw Xia Tian's back disappearing into the depths of the dark and cramped mine, but he didn't move immediately. He waited with bated breath, and when he heard a deliberately suppressed conversation not far away, he let out a foul breath ——He recognized that voice, the researchers of the Imperial Galaxy used to talk in that tone before, it was the dialect of the Imperial Galaxy.

This voice proved that Xia Tian must be discussing important matters with the professor at this moment, and he won't be back for a while.

Thinking of this, Yegel pressed his hand lightly on his waist again. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and took out an iron box from the inside pocket of his clothes.

His whole mind was focused on the iron box in his hand, and the sound of conversation in the distance made him relax for a moment, so Yegel didn't notice that in the messy grass beside him, there was a little White is looming.

The little fox continued to cover it with weeds, and easily sneaked back to Yegel's side. When he saw the other party take out the iron box, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his furry paws couldn't help but move slightly. Lift up—do you want to pounce on it?

Before he could think about the result, Yegel had already opened the iron box, and the pale pink luster immediately illuminated half of his face.

The little fox's paws paused in the air. He was familiar with that color. Just a few days ago in the laboratory, he had sincerely admired the luster. It was a new ore discovered by other research institutes on Begonia, and it was sent to let them try to see if it could be used as a new material for mechas.

But even if this thing is in their mecha, it is just one piece. How could it appear in Yegel's hands?

Xia Tian thought for a moment, stopped his movements, and waited to watch Yegel's movements with bated breath. Then he raised his paw and fiddled with the camera hanging around his neck, adjusting the angle. Soon, he discovered what Yegel wanted to do.

Yegel commanded the mining robot to avoid the ore they needed to collect today, and broke through a new rock layer. When the gray shell was taken off, a bright pale pink luster shone, illuminating the whole area. Small piece of space.

Yegel took out a thumb-sized ore from the small iron box, put it next to the newly exposed spar for comparison, and then took out a nail-shaped instrument from it and pressed it on the ore. There was a "ding" sound at the moment of contact. At that moment, Yegel seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and suddenly knelt down in front of the piece of pink ore.

Afterwards, he wiped his face, and Xia Tian looked at this researcher who had been mature and stable since he came to Haitang Star, showing a gaffe. At this moment, he really looked like a teenager in his teens. He controlled his emotions and showed a sincere smile, but at the same time tears welled up in his eyes, and he had to reach out and cover his mouth tightly so that he would not cry out.

Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a little unsure of his previous suspicions. There was no signal transmitter in the iron box, and the sensor stickers attached to his body were no longer as keenly touched as last time. He suddenly remembered that the last time he saw Yegel take out the small iron box and act mysteriously, it was also when he was studying the pink ore at the mech.

So, could that really be just a coincidence?

The little fox blinked, and while secretly guessing in his heart, he quietly moved forward two more steps. Within this range, he could control Yeager accurately, and once the opponent made another move, he would immediately Jumping forward, never giving the opponent the slightest chance - just thinking of the existence of the military information transmitter made Xia Tian feel unbearable, it was a provocation to Begonia and even the empire, and it was also a threat to the owner.

It was about Sheng Li, he didn't dare to gamble, nor could he afford to gamble.

Yegel didn't notice the movement behind him at all. He wiped his face vigorously, barely controlled his emotions, and glanced at the mine that Xia Tian walked past, then gritted his teeth, and manipulated the robot to dig the ore in front of him. Go——

At the moment he pulled the joystick, a violent force came from behind. Caught off guard, Yegel was overthrown by this force, and the pink ore he was holding tightly fell to the ground, and then he Then he saw a snow-white fur ball jumping down from his shoulder, picked up the ore he had dropped, and dashed into the grass. Looking at the direction in which the blade of grass was swinging, it was obvious that Xia Tian was there.

"Damn it!" Yegel cursed in a low voice, and after a little hesitation, he made a decision. Instead of chasing the ball of fur, he quickly manipulated the robot to dig out the nearest spar. He calculated that from the place where Xia Tian made his voice, it would take at least a minute for the other party to rush over as soon as he sensed the change, but it was enough. This minute he could-- "Yager, you're

wrong Now, what we are going to mine is crimson granulated hydrogen ore, not this pink fluorescent ore."

Hearing Xia Tian's voice behind him, Yegel felt his heart skip a beat, he forced the corners of his mouth to curl up, and turned his head away Said: "Really? I..."

Yegel's eyes fell on Xia Tian's hand, the white palm was spread flat, and a grain of ore lay quietly on it.

Xia Tian didn't say anything, just looked at him like that, the corner of Yegel's mouth fell weakly, he sat slumped against the ore wall behind him, lowered his head and said "I'm sorry" softly.

He didn't know whether the opportunity for mining today was because the Mecha Department only sent his only person from the Boolean galaxy because he trusted him, or whether the Mecha Department suspected him and made such a trial on purpose. In any case, he They have all failed the trust of these researchers in the Imperial Galaxy.

Xia Tian only felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't really understand what the reason for this feeling of blockage was, but he was upset for no reason. Yeager threw it into the interrogation room of the military region, and people asked him why he did this.

In the end, Xia Tian just took two steps back and sighed softly, "Military region interrogation room, let's go."

Yegel looked at him pleadingly, "I can go to the interrogation room and explain everything, but... I can't beg you to let me collect one piece... No, no, no, as long as you give me back the one in your hand."

Xia Tian met his eyes, saw that there was only a sincere pleading in it, and there was no cunning or treachery in it, he paused After a pause, he still shook his head, "No, I don't have the right."

"...Okay." Yegel seemed to have guessed the answer, nodded, and didn't insist.

The news that the two left the mine ahead of schedule, Xia Tian only informed the team leader, and did not say the reason. I have no right to tell outsiders about this matter.

On the way out of the mine, Xia Tian hesitated for a long time, but still looked at Yegel and said, "Others didn't know about today's incident. I decided on my own... I didn't tell outsiders either." At the end, Xia Tian was a little cautious, after all, he never kept this matter from Sheng Li from the beginning to the end, but Sheng Li was not an outsider, but his insider.

Yegel was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you."

He used his camera to simultaneously transmit all of Xia Tian's actions in the mine to Sheng Li. While crystallizing the mine, it was immediately passed on to the Mineral Research Office in the research area and the Scientific Research Department of Capital Star.

Soon, news came back from the capital star that this ore is a newly discovered medicinal ore in the interstellar world, but because of its small distribution and output, it has not been widely used, and only a few can be found. The relevant medical report, and the news from the Mineral Research Office showed that they only excavated a small piece of this medicinal mine. Because the structural components were scarce, they specially sent a little to the Mech Office for their research. It is used in the manufacture of armor.

Sheng Li tapped the light screen with his fingers, and his eyes quickly slid across a series of characters. Suddenly, his eyes paused for a moment on the words "CSD sequelae".

This is a disease unique to the interstellar era, and most of them appear in soldiers affected by the radiation of particle light cannons. It is an incurable disease recognized by the medical profession.

"Go and find out." Sheng Li recruited his assistants to continue to arrange, "Yeger still has a lover in Boolean, and he still hasn't woken up because of serious injuries. Go and find out what kind of disease that person has." After finishing speaking, he picked up

the Putting on the overcoat, he led a group of people out of the military area with a cold expression.

His Xia Xia has already done the work of the last ring perfectly, and it's time for him to do something next.

As soon as Xia Tian and Yegel walked out of the mine, they saw a row of soldiers standing up like green pines. Yegel walked forward with his head down, stretched out his hands, and waited for the other party to give him a hand. Put on the shackles.

An officer pressed his hand, "Researcher Yegel, please assist us in our work." Although his tone was cold, his attitude can be called very gentle.

Yegel's eyes widened in surprise, "I..."

"Let's go." Sheng Li said, "You have made a lot of contributions to the research of the Mech Division. You treat him as a criminal."

He chose to believe in Xia Tian's unreasonable moment of hesitation, his little fox's heart is the most innocent, if even Xia Tian didn't feel any malice, then he would try to believe in the other party's innocence—but the same Yes, he will not give up any incriminating evidence, he needs to be responsible for the 20th Army and the entire Haitang Star.

But Yegel seemed to have collapsed. He was still a young man after all, and his mood was so ups and downs that he finally couldn't help crying, and kept muttering in his mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Seeing a group of soldiers walk away with

Yegel In the distance, Xia Tian looked at Sheng Li, told him that he still had some lingering feelings, and finally asked a little confused: "Master, I actually still doubt him, but why do I feel that Yegel pleaded guilty?" Are you uncomfortable?"

"Because Xia Xia regards him as a friend." Sheng Li bent down slightly, and reached out to wipe off a little dirt on the other's forehead, "He has failed your trust, and you should feel sad."

"Friend..."

Xia Tian was taken aback. This was really a novel word for him. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was the first time he had encountered such a person who was "seemingly" about his own age in so many small worlds. , and there are people who love each other, he and Yegel can chat not only about mechs, but also about the different cultures and interesting things between the Boer galaxy and the Imperial galaxy.

"This is a friend," Xia Tian blinked, "I just had a friend, and he is no longer my friend."

Sheng Li understood his tongue-in-cheek words, and gently rubbed Xia Tian's hair, "Xia Xia will have more friends in the future, I promise." Unexpectedly,

Xia Tian shook his head, "It's okay, friend It doesn't matter if it's a little bit." Then, he put his arms around Sheng Li's waist, "As long as the master is with me all the time, it's fine."
