Chapter 4 Breaking away from the ranks of waste wood and a grand event
It has been five days since I woke up from the mining hospital in Anping City.
Probably the hospital is mainly for miners digging holes in the interior of the planet, so it always smells of dust. Xiao Bai has not been in the hospital for many years, not only because of the physical fitness of young people, but more importantly, since he knew his state, Xiao Bai rarely did anything with people. After all, it is likely that you will still eat on your own in the future, so you must protect yourself.
The feeling of empty nagging in his heart made Xiao Bai suddenly turn over and bounce off the bed. Xiao Lixuan was sitting at the table in the ward, holding a bowl and sucking nutritious food, when he saw Xiao Bai jumping up from the hospital bed and falling back on the bed, he turned his head and said, "The recovery is not bad, so powerful." ”
"Dad, why am I here?" Xiao Bai sat up and moved his arms, only to feel weak all over his body, and there was a soft sense of comfort. But soon he remembered something, and reached out and touched the pocket of his jacket on his chest, but he had changed into a loose hospital gown, and there was nothing on his chest. A dense layer of sweat instantly wet his clothes, and he shouted, "The pendant that my mother left me is gone!" ”
Xiao Lixuan took out something from his jacket pocket and threw it to Xiao Baidao: "Found it near where you were unconscious." You've been asleep for 5 days. If it weren't for the doctor saying you were fine, I would have thought you had been attacked by a homeless person. But how did the pendant look like this, I just gave you a few days, but I kept it for 15 years, and there was no problem. ”
Xiao Bai pinched the thing in his hand, and the cold feeling that did not change with body temperature was the blue spar, but now it was not pure blue, and the blood that penetrated into it was like a piece of red flocculent, dyeing the originally crystal clear spar into a red and blue variegated color, like a stain on the mirror, no matter how you look at it, it feels uncomfortable.
Recalling the pain that this spar brought him, Xiao Bai's whole body broke out with another layer of sweat, this kind of pain will never appear again in this life. The feeling of all the tissues in the body being ground is like falling into purgatory. The source power in the body is like a gurgling stream at the moment, and it takes a lot of effort to feel it, but what shocked Xiao Bai was that this feeling of source power was no longer like a pool of stagnant water like before, without any fluctuations. In the past, when he used combat skills, he relied more on his body to attack, and the source force could only mobilize a weak part, which is why, he punched Wei Xingbang's nose, but he could only knock him out of the nosebleed.
At this time, although the source force was faintly imperceptible, it flowed along the body, and then slowly merged into the lower abdomen. This feeling made Xiao Bai swing a punch forward, his heart moved at will, the source force in his body suddenly converged to the fist, and an explosive force suddenly rushed out of his body, Xiao Lixuan held the bowl, and without warning, narrowly avoided the blow of the source force, and with a "boom", the table next to his seat flew up, and hit the wall directly, making a deafening sound.
This suddenly, not only Xiao Bai was stunned, Xiao Lixuan stood in the middle of the room with a bowl, stunned as if he was begging. Soon he turned from surprise to joy, he walked quickly to Xiao Bai's side, pinched Xiao Bai's shoulder and probed, and then frowned: "That's right, just now I obviously felt that it was a forging body, how can it still be a quenching body?" ”
He took two steps back, looked Xiao Bai up and down as if he had discovered a new continent, and then said, "It feels completely different from before, is it suddenly enlightened?" Say, who did you fight with? ”
Xiao Bai scratched his hair, where should this matter start? Do you want to tell your dad that you are fighting because you are jealous of others? He coughed dryly and diverted the topic: "Dad, is the fast pendant really left for me by my mother?" ”
Xiao Lixuan's eyes widened and said, "What are you talking about, am I still lying to you?" ”
"Then why did Mom leave this pendant?"
Xiao Lixuan hesitated for a moment, as if organizing words in his mind, and before he could speak, there was a dense sound of footsteps in the hospital corridor, and a doctor in uniform and two hospital security personnel appeared at the door. As soon as two security guards stood at the door, they blocked the door of the ward, and one of them looked at the table that was crooked on the wall with a calm face and said in a muffled voice, "What happened?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Lixuan held the bowl and looked left and right for a long time, but he couldn't find a place to put it for a while, so he had to say: "This broken child made me angry, and I didn't control my emotions for a while, so I started a little harder." How much is this table, I will pay for it. ”
The two security guards were fine, but the doctor gasped and knocked over the table. He looked Xiao Bai up and down to make sure that there was nothing going on, and then said, "The table is not worth a few dollars." But your child has just woken up, and you can do it. Well, let him be discharged tomorrow, and if he stays for a few more days, you won't tear down the hospital bed. ”
"Let's go." The doctor beckoned two security guards to follow him, and just as he stepped out of the room door, he turned his head and said, "The table money is counted in the treatment fee." ”
"I'll accompany you as much as you want." Xiao Lixuan stretched his neck and said with a serious face.
The three of them walked away without saying a word, and disappeared into the corner of the hallway without looking back. After the three of them disappeared from sight, Xiao Bai turned his head and looked at Xiao Lixuan expectantly.
Xiao Lixuan didn't seem to see Xiao Bai's concerned gaze, he brought the bowl to his mouth and took a sip, then frowned and said to himself: "Why is this nutritious meal becoming more and more tasteless." ”
Then he buried his head again and sucked it up.
“……”
……
……
A huge spaceship, silently suspended in the black canopy of Firebird Star.
Like a silver-white shuttle, its streamlined appearance and overflowing lights make it the most eye-catching spectacle of the entire Firebird Star. Although this spaceship comes every three Earth years, and although the people of Firebird have seen it many times, this spaceship, which represents power and wealth, still can't stop bursting out of their hearts.
The Soyuz ship of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.
The Imperial Chamber of Commerce and the Soyuz spaceship, each of these two names can make people crazy. This Chamber of Commerce, which is separated from the four major legions and is only under the jurisdiction of the Federation, represents the top financial and material resources, and the Soyuz spaceship is a top-level spaceship that integrates cutting-edge technology and is piled up with money under the powerful ability of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the top of the military, every citizen of the Federation yearns for one day to enter the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and seek a half-official position, but such an idea is even more unrealistic than entering the top 20 colleges of the Federation.
The bureaucratic system has been something that has existed since the birth of human society, and even in the Age of Discovery, in the harsh war environment, this bureaucracy has penetrated more and more into every corner of the Federation. In war, the military's survival of the fittest can also resist the erosion of this system. However, within the fully administrative federal administration, the administrative system has become a small circle of certain forces, which cannot be accessed without special abilities and means.
The Imperial Chamber of Commerce, between three Earth years, will go around all administrative areas of the Federation, buying and selling goods. Although the Firebird Star is at the forefront of the battlefield in the Western Administrative Region, it is one of the few resource stars, so the third stop of the Soyuz spacecraft in the Western Administrative Region was chosen here. Even though the stay here is only 3 days, during these 3 days, Firebird will become a lively place, because behind the butt of the Soyuz spaceship, a group of followers like smelling flies, all kinds of black market merchants, interstellar wanderers, and even interstellar pirates will land with the arrival of the Soyuz and land at the next destination.
The grand event of the arrival of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce did not mean anything to Xiao Bai. Because he was just an ordinary student on Firebird, he didn't have large commodities to buy and sell, or rare items that he could get his hands on, but next to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce Exchange, a small trading venue was his destination.
The big exam is coming soon, and this was not Xiao Bai's concern. Because he couldn't cultivate at that time. But now, the fluctuation of the source force made him clearly feel that although within a few days after waking up, the faint source power in his body was slowly accumulating, but this showed a meaning - he was able to cultivate. Involved in a matter that he cares about for so long, what should he do about the big exam? What should I do after the big exam?
Now he still looks like a waste material, but as long as he can cultivate, there is no problem in entering a relatively rubbish academy, but the situation at home makes him feel anxious. The purpose of finding the black market merchants and interstellar pirates from the alien planet is, on the one hand, to inquire what the spar left by his mother is for him. Dad never said anything about this. But the spar can actually change the physique of its own waste materials and become able to cultivate, such a thing must be a hundred times more precious than the so-called peerless exercises. Another purpose was that if the spar was really valuable, Xiao Bai wouldn't mind selling it.
I'm sorry, Mom. Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Xiao Bai secretly thought: "Use what you left behind to exchange for me to fulfill your last wish, I think even if you know, you will be very pleased." ”
"Come on, this thing is very heavy, we have to hurry, the Chamber of Commerce is almost over!"
In the crowd, a man wearing an antique cowboy hat and a face full of sunbathing lakes was shouting at the top of his voice.
"Lin Wei'er, are your things ready, the spaceship is ready to warm up, that stupid stone can't live without you!"
"Shut your beak!" The woman named Lin Weier sat at the table and scolded angrily. She has burgundy curly hair, a melon seed face, delicate facial features, and a tight-fitting off-white spaceship uniform, which gives her tight figure an unobstructed look.
The bearded man was scolded, but his enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest, and he pointed to a Luo Luoxing standing next to him: "Hey! Teuton, put it here! Why don't you open your elm head, how many times do you want me to say, don't block the intersection, yes, here, okay. You stand aside. ”
The Teuton-named Lolo moved the box to the side, then looked up suddenly, as if he had noticed something, and squinted at Xiao Bai who was wandering around. Like a clothed, standing hairless bear.
"Lin Weier, hey, Lin Weier~~"
"Shut up!" "Okay, okay. Set things up, Teutonic ...... Teutonic ......! The beard called twice, but when he saw that there was no response, he turned his head to look at Teuton who was in a daze and said, "What are you doing!" Work! ”
Teuton came back to his senses, leaned into his beard and whispered something in his ear, only to see his eyes light up, looked up at Xiao Bai, looked at him for a while and said, "Impossible, he's just quenching his body?" You didn't sense the error? ”
Teutonic shook his head and said, "I don't dare to say anything else, but I will definitely not be wrong with this kind of source power fluctuation. ”
When the bearded man heard this, his eyes narrowed, as if a hunter had seen his prey.
……
Xiao Bai, who was looking forward to the small exchange, suddenly felt his source power oscillating slightly, this is a feeling that is used to not have, this feeling is novel and dangerous, it seems that someone is looking at him with bad intentions. So he stopped, turned his head in the direction where the feeling was coming from, and saw a man in a strange hat and a beard walking towards him.
Under the eyes of the two, the beard was slightly startled, and then his face was full of smiles, like the initial routine of a liar, and said enthusiastically: "Hey, little brother, I see that you have been looking around for a long time, do you want to buy something?" I've got everything here, would you like to come and see it? ”
Xiao Bai looked at him vigilantly, took a half step back slightly, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm ...... ......" scratched his head and said solemnly: "I am a black market merchant in the Eastern Administrative Region. ”
"But I don't have the money to buy anything, but I have something to see if I can sell it." Xiao Bai said.
"No problem! You can also come to me for shopping. I'll give you a good price. The bearded man enthusiastically stretched out his hand and led Xiao Bai towards the entrance of his spaceship, setting up the direction of the stall. Under the fluctuation of the powerful source force, Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback, because this feeling could only be felt in his own teacher, Lu Boxue, that is to say, this bearded man was definitely a strong man at the level of a fighter.
