28. Chapter XXVIII
"I'm your assistant and belong to ¥%&@#*$"
"What does it belong to?" asked Zeng Tong in the back who didn't understand.
"To put it simply, I come from the so-called extraterrestrial civilization of your earthlings, and belong to the Y Empire. ”
“Y…… Empire, you are kings?"
"The supreme decision does belong to the monarch. ”
Zeng Tong felt that these had nothing to do with him, and asked suspiciously, "Then what are you doing with me?"
"This space, from the Empire. ”
"Yours, then, why did it come to me?" Zeng Tong was shocked.
"231 years ago, the previous owner of this place came to Earth, and this space and I have been staying on this planet. ”
"Is there a previous owner of this space?
"It dissipated 189 years ago. ”
"Dissipated, have you died?" Zeng Tong seemed to sense that the other party was a little sad.
"She has returned to the bosom of her home planet. ”
"Oh, mourning. Zeng Tong thought that it should be the same as what Westerners often say about returning to the arms of God.
"No, it's not sad, it's something that the people of the Y Empire should be happy about. ”
"Well, it's good if you're happy. "I don't understand the customs of aliens, since the other party said that he was happy, then Zeng Tong has nothing to say.
Zeng Tong remembered a question and asked, "Is that big white egg in the space before that also you?"
"Yes, that's the necessary vessel to reorganize my body, I used too much energy during the time travel, so I have been dormant, and I absorbed a new wave of energy 45 hours ago according to your Earth time, and I was able to reorganize my body. ”
"45 hours ago?, was that time?" Zeng Tong remembered the night he got the jade cicada, and his fingers suddenly warmed up.
"This substance can be used as my energy source, but each one can only be used once. Based on the amount of energy I had absorbed at that time, I was still at the lowest energy level and needed to find new alternative energy sources to replenish my energy. ”
"Are you looking for energy?that kind of jade?" Zeng Tong didn't quite understand, energy?alien puppy doesn't eat, eats jade?
"Yes. ”
"Wait, what did you mean by time travel just now?" Zeng Tong suddenly remembered what the puppy said just now, and guessed in his heart, it's not what I thought, right?!
"Earth time 2024 travels back to 2018, and this time and space travel consumes too much energy, and energy less than 10% will lead me to start a dormant state. ”
Sure enough, Zeng Tong only had this one thought after hearing it.
I thought I was favored by the heavens, so I was reborn and came back with space, but it turned out that these were given by aliens.
"Before I was ready to ask you about your intention to bind the space, your consciousness had already begun to dissipate, and in order to protect your consciousness body, on the premise of not violating the rules of the empire, I took your consciousness body on a time travel to take you back to the point when your body was the most healthy. ”
Indeed, Zeng Tong was very healthy before joining the work, but after joining the work, he began to stay up all night and eat irregularly, etc., and he squandered his health a little unscrupulously. The later Zeng Tong was relatively weak, and he had been suffering from minor illnesses, and the last time he went out in his previous life, it seemed that he was also going to the pharmacy to buy some standing medicines.
"That'...... How can I replenish your energy?" Zeng Tong also admitted after thinking about it, since the opportunity to live again was given by the other party, this favor cannot but be repaid.
"Based on my understanding of the current state of the planet during this time, the current high-quality jade can be used as an alternative energy source. ”
"High-quality jade?" Zeng Tong bared his teeth, tsk, it would cost a lot of money, right?
"Yes, high-quality jade can replenish up to 80% of your energy. ”
"Can't it be filled?" Zeng Tong asked.
"Special energy sources other than energy blocks can only be replenished to 80%. ”
"Huh, what happens when you run out of energy?"
"When the energy consumption reaches the lowest energy, you can use another high-quality jade stone to replenish 80% of the energy. ”
Hearing this, Zeng Tong was relieved, if all the jade can only be replenished once, then I don't know what the energy needed after that is, what if there is no one on the earth?
"Then how much jade do you need to replenish to 80% now?" Zeng Tong asked cautiously, a little worried that if she needed too much, she couldn't afford it. But looking back, the size of the jade cicada is not large, so I guess it doesn't take a lot, right?
"According to the quality of jade, according to the size of the earth, it takes 3.51 cubic centimeters of high-quality jade to replenish 80% of the energy. ”
Less than 4 cubic centimeters, it doesn't seem to be big, Zeng Tong thought to himself.
But Zeng Tong forgot about it, the other party said that it was high-quality jade, if it needs to reach the ice type or above, then this size is always valuable.
"That'...... Are you always a puppy?"
"Yes, according to the classification of the earth, my current body does belong to the canine family. ”
"Then will there be any impact if you go out of the space?" Zeng Tong thought that if it could go out, let it find energy, and then buy it for itself.
"Energy consumption is 10 times faster. Zeng Tong's hopes were shattered.
"Is it a matter of time?"
"The previous owner stayed in the outside world for too long, did not find alternative energy sources in time, and the energy was not replenished to eventually dissipate. ”
"Your energy is so low now, it's better not to go out yet, I'll see if there is any way to find the jade you need." Zeng Tong scratched his head after hearing this, because he hadn't usually touched jade, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while.
"Okay, I will continue to use the lowest energy output to learn about your world now so that I can better assist you in the future. ”
One person and one pet ended this exchange, Zeng Tong watched the puppy in front of him close his eyes, curled up again, and fell asleep on the ground almost immediately. She also knows that it is estimated that the other party has also consumed some energy to communicate with her this time, and can only enter the "power-saving mode" of hibernation.
Zeng Tong stepped forward and gently picked it up, cleaned up the dirt on its body, walked to the dog house and carefully put it inside, then turned around and continued to tidy up the vegetable patch.
While tidying up, Zeng Tong was also thinking about what had just happened in her mind, and what the puppy told her.
Since most of its energy is used on itself, it is incumbent upon it to help it find energy.
The problem is that I don't know how much it costs to buy a jade of that size, although it has been open for a while, but there is not much saved at all, and it is estimated that the value of the jade cicada is higher than his current savings.
After tidying up the vegetable patch, Zeng Tong still had no clue, where to find high-quality jade, he could only check it on the Internet after going out.
After leaving the space, Zeng Tong checked the city's jewelry store gathering place, and found that G City happened to have a jade street in the north of the city.
decided on tomorrow's itinerary, Zeng Tong went out of the room, under the pretext that his friends would go out to play tomorrow, and he wouldn't go home for dinner at noon. Zeng's father told Zeng Tong to pay more attention to safety outside, but Zeng's mother nodded in agreement and didn't say anything else.
The next day, Zeng Tong arrived at the farmers' market at 7:30 in the morning, and it will reopen for business after eating today.
After putting down enough vegetables and melons to sell for a day in the store, when Xiaojuan came to work, Zeng Tong took most of the cash from the turnover on Saturday, and left the rest for Xiaojuan to find change, then left the farmers' market and took a car to Shibei Jade Street.
When I got to the place, I saw that the time was almost 10 o'clock in the morning, along the route I saw last night, Zeng Tong came to the intersection of Jade Street, at a glance, the shops on both sides were almost open, and there were many pedestrians at this time, including some foreign friends who came to visit and sightsee, but it was also related to the fact that this place was located in the old city with a high flow of people.
Zeng Tong walked roughly along the street, and finally decided to go to the larger stores first, expecting that there would be more high-quality jade stores. But soon, Zeng Tong found that whether it was the so-called "treasure of the town store" in the store or the display items in the window, the puppies in the space did not give a little response, aren't these the high-quality jade it needs?
After shopping for more than 1 hour, Zeng Tong also felt a little tired, so he found a seat in a nearby noodle restaurant and sat down to rest, and had lunch by the way.
When paying the bill and waiting for the meal, Zeng Tong thought, there is no reason for so many jades, there is no suitable one, and he will enter the space to find the puppy and ask what the situation is.
After eating his lunch, Zeng Tong walked quickly into the bathroom of the noodle restaurant, flashed into the space in the compartment, and came to the dog house, Zeng Tong woke up the puppy.
"Wake up, did you sense the right jade just now?" Zeng Tong reached out and gently pushed the huddled ball inside.
The puppy raised its head from its front paws and looked at Zeng Tong.
"There are a few senses, but the size is too small, and the energy obtained by absorbing them separately is not enough for me to consume in the space. "It is estimated that I have been absorbing new knowledge from the outside world in the past 2 days, and the puppy has become more and more natural in speaking.
"Then you can't absorb energy without going out of the space?" Zeng Tong thought, if he could absorb it, no matter how small the mosquito's legs were, they would be meat.
"If you don't get into energy absorption, you need to spend 5% of your energy, and in your Earth's words, the gains outweigh the losses. After the puppy conveyed this, he shook his head at Zeng Tong.
Zeng Tong began to feel a little headache about this situation, and then thought of a question.
"Is there any other way to replenish your energy besides jade?" Zeng Tong asked.
"Yes, it's just that it will take too long, and my current energy is estimated to not last that long. ”
"Why don't you talk about the second method first?" Zeng Tongjian said.
"Buy energy blocks from the Alliance Mall. ”
"How much more can I buy?"
"A primary energy block costs 2,000 Imperial Coins. ”
"Ah? You can only buy it with Imperial Coins?Can you use all kinds of currencies on Earth?" It's a pity that the puppy's next sentence dashed Zeng Tong's hopes.
"For the Empire, the Earth is currently a remote star planet, and it has not joined the Interstellar Alliance, so it is temporarily impossible to exchange currencies. ”
"That'...... I can only continue to look for jade?"
"My energy replenishment is more than 60%, I can upgrade the signal reception of the space, and when I connect to the Imperial Headquarters, I can apply to become a primary agricultural supply point, sell the plants and animals produced in the space in exchange for Imperial Coins, and if I successfully apply, I can get a full loan for agricultural machinery. ”
"Then I'll have to help you charge more than 60% of your energy first. Zeng Tong looked disappointed after hearing this, the second method seemed to be temporarily unworkable, and he still had to go and help find the jade first.
