Chapter 18: Encounter Again
As soon as he woke up, Chenping realized that there was a problem, that is, his D-rank star source stones had not actually increased. His so-called success was nothing more than regaining a Star Source Stone on the basis of consuming a Star Source Stone, and he became very unhappy when he thought about it! You must know that in the mine, no matter how much star energy reserves are in the same level of star source stones, the wages and rewards received by the miners are the same, so Chenping actually didn't earn a penny. His intention to leave suddenly changed, and he decided to stay and try again.
According to the mine's regulations, a newcomer like Chenping must hand in three D-grade Star Source Stones within a month. Otherwise, they will have their property confiscated from the mine and will be expelled from the mine for a year. Of course, if you are willing, these three D-level Star Source Stones can also be replaced with two D-level and one D+-level Star Source Stone. But such a cute miner, there have been more than a dozen cases in major mines over the years, which are more precious than giant pandas. That's the amount that intermediate miners and senior miners need to pay in a month, and who would waste their money so much before getting the evaluation of intermediate and senior miners? Chenping now had two D-rank Star Source Stones in his hands, but he didn't think about handing them in first to pay for this month's task. In his opinion, these two Star Source Stones were brought in by himself, even if they were all wasted on the consumption of mining, and he would not hand them in if he was finally kicked out of the mine - after all, he had no plans to work in the mine for a long time.
With a successful experience, Chenping was significantly more proficient in controlling the Starlight Spiral Nest. After just one day's work, the starlight in his hands began to emit a golden light like the sun's rays. This time, Chenping did not desperately charge the Star Energy Spiral Nest like the last time, but slowly began to exert pressure when the Star Energy Spiral Nest had about 10,000 energy points to see if its light could be transformed into green light. It's a pity that this attempt failed again, and only the first time the pressure was applied, the Star Energy Spiral Nest couldn't support it and collapsed, allowing him to only get a D-rank Star Source Stone.
"35621, the star energy is still a little too much. If it can be controlled at a little more than 10,000, it will be perfect! Thinking that his useless efforts would only increase the profits of the mine, and that he only got that salary, Chenping was unhappy.
After checking the equipment and feeling that I could last a day or two, Chenping started working again. This time, he carefully calculated the starenergy value in the Starlight Swirl, and suddenly began to exert pressure when it was about 10,000 or so, but the result was that he got an E-level waste stone (the Star Source Stone below the E level belongs to the energy stones used in life and industry, and the energy less than one million level is waste rock, which can only be exchanged for tokens in the mine for recycling).
"Alas, it's a money hole!" Chenping sighed softly, and only then did he remember that he had not come to the mine to make money, but to increase the energy level of Starstripe. If you follow this method again, I'm afraid that in ten years, you won't be able to absorb enough star energy to raise the star stripe energy to the third order!
After clearing the platform and taking everything with him, he closed the platform and jumped to the ground. This time, he controlled the speed of his fall, and successfully fell into the giant net, reaching the ground safely. In mid-air, he saw that the security guard on duty in the falling area was a man, so he stopped speeding up and returned to the ground peacefully. It's just that this time the landing position is a little far away from the living area, and it took him half a long time to return to the living area, which gave him the idea of buying a means of transportation.
"Come to a luxurious room from last time!" It's still the same hotel, Chenping said tiredly as he threw the token card and an E-class waste stone onto the work desk.
"Guest, the room you used last time happens to be still there, why don't I handle it for you?" The hotel waitress didn't recognize Chenping, but there was a housing record on the card, so she knew that Chenping was an old resident.
"Okay, hurry up!" At this time, Chenping's eyes could barely be opened, so he opened his mouth to urge.
"Guest, the balance on your card plus the newly acquired tokens is a bit insufficient. If you stay in that luxury suite, your living expenses ......"
"Add this!" Although the hotel waitress said very tactfully, Chenping still heard that the money was not enough, and in desperation, he took out the D-level star source stone and put it on the table.
"Guest, please wait!" The hotel usher was taken aback when he saw that this guy actually used a D-rank star source stone to exchange code, and at the same time, his eyes towards Chenping also became a lot more cut. After only a moment's effort, the usher politely handed back the token card, and even unconsciously touched Chenping's hand, and said gently: "If the guests have any other requirements, I will be happy to serve you!" ”
Chenping was so tired at this time that he didn't notice the beauty in front of him and the meaning of his words, let alone attract a lot of greedy eyes in the lobby because of his generosity. He took the card, shook his head slightly, and headed for the elevator. On the other side, a few strong men also stood up for the first time and followed Chenping to the elevator room.
"Brother, didn't you see my sister?" At this moment, a faint fragrance hit, and Chenping was rudely hugged by a person. It wasn't until his face came into contact with some softness that the guy came to his senses and wanted to struggle away. It's a pity that the other party's strength is too great, and he can't struggle out at all. Kitty sneered and looked around the lobby, and all the guys who were ready to move immediately died down, obediently sat back in their original positions or left silently.
"Sister!" Looking up from the gentleness, Chenping finally recognized that it was the cat who was holding him, and he couldn't help blushing for a while.
"Is it fragrant?" After letting go of Chenping, Mei Mao asked playfully.
"Xiang, cough ......" Hearing Mei Mao's direct question, Chenping couldn't help coughing embarrassedly.
"Is it big?" Mei Mao did not let go of Chenping at all.
"Ahem...... Chenping suddenly coughed even more sharply, but he still nodded knowingly.
"Follow me!" Mei Mao glanced at Chenping coldly, and strode towards the restaurant.
Seeing that Mei Mao's expression changed so quickly, Chenping was a little confused for a while, but he still obediently followed. After Mei Mao sat down, he took the menu handed by the waiter and quickly ordered a few dishes. And the waiter on the side saw a few dishes ordered by Mei Mao, and couldn't help but give Chenping a look of pity.
"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" As soon as the waiter left, Mei Mao asked unceremoniously.
"What did I do wrong?" Chenping looked dazed. I thought that the most wrong thing should be to take advantage of you, but it seems that you took the initiative just now, right?
"Alas!" Seeing Chenping's blank look, Mei Mao knew that he was playing the piano to a cow! She reached out and knocked Chenping's head hard, lowered her voice and said angrily, "You don't want to die, you actually used the D-level Star Source Stone to exchange tokens!" ”
"Oh, that's what my sister said!" It wasn't until this time that Chenping understood what the other party was talking about, and he replied a little embarrassedly: "I don't have enough waste rock, so I have to replace it with it!" ”
"......" saw that Chenping didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and she couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Sister, you don't have to worry! I still have the D-class Star Source Stone in my hand, which is enough to hand over the task. Chenping thought that Mei Mao was worried that he didn't have a Star Source Stone to hand over the task, so he took out the two Star Source Stones in his arms and explained.
"You think that's what I'm talking about?" Mei Mao saw that Chenping easily took out two D-grade Star Source Stones, and couldn't help but be surprised and angry. But after calming down, she realized that she might be a little troublesome, maybe this kid didn't care about those guys at all? But in the end, she was still a little uneasy, and reminded: "The mine is not very safe, some people's minds are very mixed, you have to be careful!" Don't exchange D-level Star Stones for tokens in the future, you won't need that thing if you get out of here, and it's useless to exchange too much. You can get in trouble, you know? ”
"......" This time, Chenping finally really understood the meaning of the other party's words, and he was scared into a cold sweat for a while, and the original fatigue was instantly thrown out of the clouds. He glanced around nervously, and said a little weakly: "Thank you, sister, I will pay attention to it in the future!" ”
"You ......" Seeing that Chenping suddenly became so nervous, Mei Mao suddenly didn't know what to say about him, and angrily reached out again and knocked Chenping on the head.
"Sister, don't worry! There is no next time. Seeing that Mei Mao cared about him so much, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in his heart.
"By the way, I don't think I know your name yet? What's your name. Seeing Chenping like this, Mei Mao felt that this kid was still saved, so she asked.
"......" Chenping looked at the beauty in front of him in astonishment, and was speechless in disappointment. Just now, I was thinking about whether Mei Mao cared about him so much, but people didn't remember him at all!
"Why, I don't want to say!" When Mei Mao saw Chenping like this, she thought that he didn't want to say his name.
"My name is Chenping, sister, have you forgotten?" Chenping said helplessly.
"Morning Peace...... I remembered! But how is the name so familiar? Mei Mao frowned suspiciously.
"Of course I'm familiar, I told my sister last time!" Chenping reminded.
"No, I think I've heard that name there!" Mei Mao heard Chenping's emphasis, and naturally knew that she had heard the other party's name more than once. But she knows her memory very well, and the name she can remember must be something, otherwise she would have forgotten it a long time ago! But for a while, she couldn't remember hearing the name there, so she looked at Chenping and asked, "Have you ever done anything out of the ordinary before?" ”
"Something out of the ordinary......" Chenping was completely defeated by the cat's way of thinking. But at this time, he also guessed that it was not the two meetings that made the other party remember him, but the incident some time ago, so he said helplessly: "Sister is talking about the murder case in Juyan City not long ago!" ”
"Ah, I'll just say it!" Mei Mao was reminded by Chenping, and immediately remembered it. It's just that then she looked at Chenping in surprise, her eyes full of doubts - this kid can kill the A-level wanted criminal Crow?
"I said I didn't do it, sister, do you believe it?" Chenping looked at the cat seriously and said.
"......" Kitty suddenly felt that she was troubled. Experience has taught her that there are many things that you can't delve into, and once you become curious, maybe the injured person will end up being the person who has nothing to do with those things. So she immediately apologized: "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked!" ”
The two unconsciously became silent, and Mei Mao found that the atmosphere was wrong, so she opened her mouth to teach Chenping some ways to survive in the mine, and barely erased the embarrassing atmosphere. It's just that although this meal is more sumptuous than the last time, Chenping feels that it is far less delicious than the last time. After the meal, fatigue hit again, so Chenping settled the bill and was about to leave, but was stopped by the cat.
"The people here aren't very clean, come to me if you need them!" Mei Cat said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister!" After saying thank you, Chenping turned around and left. It wasn't until much later that Chenping understood what Mei Mao really meant when he said this, and he regretted it for many years.
