Chapter 3 What's going on
Time passed minute by minute, and Yuan Li and the guards of Noken Star were still in a confrontation.
As if to add some pompous sense of sacredness, the entrance to the main tower of the city is not covered by a canopy, as if in the darkness, only here can there be holy light, a kind of old-fashioned earthling routine.
The consequence of this ostentatious design is that the temperature here can be close to 50 degrees Celsius in direct sunlight.
Even Yuan Li began to feel uncomfortable, and beads of sweat began to roll down his forehead, but what worried him more was not himself, but how long the incubator in his hand would work.
Before that, he wasn't prepared to let the cooler wait so long in this environment.
"Hey, I say, is Raphael going to come out and solve the problem?"
The surrounding guards still stood in place like statues.
"If he doesn't want the goods, I'll just go." Yuan Li put away his posture, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Ahh Raphael's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Chef Yuan! Don't be so anxious! Haven't I come! ”
Yuan Li sneered, "Raphael, are you finally willing to give up?" But I don't think you really want this ingredient. ”
"How could that be! We're old folks, and you know how much I want to get a taste of home. Raphael smiled and stepped forward to hook Yuan Li's shoulder and said, "You also know that although the ancestors thought they had brought enough seeds and dehydrated plants with them when they came here, there was no way to grow anything in this place, and the stock would always run out one day, and you know, I almost forgot the taste of my hometown!" ”
"Really?" Yuan Li sneered, "With the current battle, I can't see how much you're looking forward to it." ”
"Oh, you say this, these Noken people have little roots in their heads, you know, after you left last month, I was almost assassinated, and I just stepped up my vigilance, what's wrong? How did this conflict start? Raphael still looked indifferent.
Yuan Li shook his head helplessly, "They must let me open the box and check, but this ingredient can't adapt to the climate here, if you open the box, it will soon wither, if it ......"
"Good, good." Raphael interrupted Yuan Li, "I know what's going on, but what...... I also said, these guys have few tendons, and it was also my order to open the box and check this matter, and you don't want my brother to be unable to get off the stage, right? ”
Yuan Li frowned violently, "You really want me to open the box here?" Don't you care if the ingredients wilt? ”
"With the way you do things, I think you must have extra materials on your ship, right? When these guys are safe, I'll go with you to your spaceship to eat, what's the matter?" ”
"Humph!" Yuan Li snorted coldly, although he didn't know for what reason, Raphael's attitude towards making things difficult for him was very clear, "Just open it, but the money for this box of materials has to be counted in your account." ”
"No problem! It's all trivial! Okay, it's weird to stand here, unbox, Chef Yuan. Raphael looked at Yuan Li with a wicked smile on his face, waiting for him to open his incubator in the hot sun.
Yuan Li sighed heavily, the current situation no longer allowed him to continue to be stubborn.
When the heavy incubator fell, a puff of sand and dust on the ground was gently raised.
Once upon a time, the contents of the box were found everywhere on earth – cauliflower. They used to be very low-cost, completely home-cooked food on the human table, but now it is very difficult to find them.
I didn't expect to waste such a full box in such a place for such a stupid farce now.
Yuan Li was helpless, and when it came to this, he had no choice but to unpack.
Put the incubator on the ground and slowly open the lid, the coolness inside is almost gone.
Sure enough, this simple incubator can't stand such a long period of exposure.
But the greens inside are still very watery, with green leaves wrapped in faint yellow flowers.
When the box was fully opened, there was even a faint aroma mixed with a hint of moisture coming out of it, faintly covering the stench in the air.
"Goodo......"
Even the Noken guards who had never seen it were stunned, and the city lord Raphael's face showed a heartache expression.
After a few moments, the cauliflower began to wither under the scorching air, and the turquoise leaves began to turn yellow, and finally turned into a pile of dead grass at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Alright, you guys can take it and check it." Yuan Li pushed the box forward, "Raphael, I hope you can realize what you have to lose by doing this. ”
Raphael smiled, "I know very well. ”
Yuan Li snorted, picked up the box and stood up, "In that case, I think this is the end of our commission relationship, goodbye, Raphael." ”
"Huh?" Raphael frowned, "Chef Yuan, what do you mean by that?" ”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Li smiled, "I'll hang your garbage task back to the guild, don't worry." I hope there will be another 'Jieka' to take over your task. ”
"Oh no, no, no." Raphael laughed, "This task is not this logic. I guess you probably didn't look carefully at the task conditions when you took the order, right? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Li turned to look at Raphael.
"I mean, if you don't see it, I can remind you that if you don't satisfy me within the allotted time, I have the right to confiscate your Star Hunter license."
Yuan Li frowned, "You ......"
"How? If you want to end there, you can, but give me your license first, and that's the punishment for failing the mission. Raphael looked at Yuan Li condescendingly with his hands on his chest, "You have to think about it." ”
Yuan Li took a deep breath, "Count yourself ruthless, come with me, come to my ship, I still have some inventory." ”
"No way!" The captain of the Norken guard on the side suddenly spoke, "You bring the ingredients, Raphael can't get on your ship." ”
Yuan Li looked at Raphael.
"It doesn't matter. Just go to your boat and have a look. Raphael said, waving.
"But in that case, I ......"
"You come with me." Raphael said to the captain beside him, "So you can rest assured, right?" ”
The captain of the guard looked at Raphael for two seconds, and seeing that he did not change his words, he beckoned two of the tallest and strongest guards from the group to follow Raphael.
"Let's go, Chef Yuan." Raphael urged Yuan Li.
Yuan Li gritted his teeth and walked in the front helplessly, now he just wanted to finish this task quickly, and then leave this unlucky garbage planet immediately!
But when they just walked out of the roof range and into the port, they suddenly found that their Noah had been surrounded, and the people surrounding the spaceship had no organization, no discipline, everyone had everything, and they had all kinds of weapons!
Grandpa even opened a protective barrier to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers.
Is this a completely spontaneous action? What's going on? What happened?!
Raphael walked two steps quickly to Yuan Li's side and whispered, "Brother, don't you understand? Some people don't want you to continue in this business, so give up as soon as possible, so as not to drag down my brother and me. ”
Yuan Li turned his head and looked at Raphael with a surprised face, "You guy, what did you do?" ”
"It's nothing, I'm just telling them that a small green vegetable can be exchanged for a day's rations." Raphael shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about what you're going to do to satisfy me." ”
After Raphael finished speaking, he motioned for the captain of the guard next to him and the two selected guards to step forward to stop the commotion.
The crowd soon quieted down, and obediently gave way to Yuan Li and Raphael.
"Let's go. Chef Yuan, don't worry, I won't do anything superfluous, just eat. ”
Yuan Li quickly digested the information that Raphael had just given him, and got on the spaceship, hoping that there would be no more accidents.
