Chapter 228: "Smooth" Boarding
After splitting up, Shen Chao immediately took Alice to the port of the Ring District, and Custer also took two other people to the Wei District to apply for documents, and they brought 4 tons of gold this time. It's all in the shuttle at the moment.
Theoretically, as long as they are careful to make multiple shots and take care to keep a low profile, they can safely exchange these gold for close to 8 million Star Coins, which is enough for them to use for a long time.
The reason why Shen Chao was able to arrange for his team to act separately was because he had already determined the security situation of the Divine Castle through his previous understanding.
Overall, the security situation in the Citadel is very good, and the crime rate is very low. The C-SEC keeps the various areas of the Citadel safe most of the time. Only a few areas of the Guard District are slightly less secure, but that's a little bit of a danger they can overcome.
And, like all other metropolises, the Citadel's underground market thrives, and you can buy almost anything if you're willing to spend money.
With a large amount of Star Coins, they can easily get their hands on fake identities and other things, and stay on the Citadel at will. Custer: Their safety is still very secure.
After saying goodbye to Custer for a while, Shen Chao took Alice back to the Circle in a flying taxi. After going through some security at the port, he took Alice back to Normandy.
Probably because of the last Tully incident, Shepard readily approved Shen Chao to board the ship with a stranger this time. At this time, in the captain's room, Shepard was looking at the two people in front of him with interest.
"So, this is your girlfriend?" After listening to Shen Chao's introduction and explanation, Shepard carefully looked at Alice standing next to Shen Chao and asked.
She was a little surprised, on the one hand, because Shen Chao had never said that he had a girlfriend or anything like that before. On the other hand, naturally because of Shen Chao's optimism, he actually dared to take his girlfriend on such a dangerous mission.
You know, so far, their task has not been much smooth. Although he was reluctant to admit it, Shepard knew that the chances of their shipwreckage against Salen were much better than their eventual victory.
Although she usually looks full of confidence, it seems that Saren is a dish, as long as she finds him. They will be able to happily flatten Salenhey's adopted son. But that's for the crew.
As the captain of the ship, she must set an example and be confident in the schedule, otherwise the feelings of the crew will also be low. But Shen Chao shouldn't be unable to see this, but why is he so optimistic?
"That's right, we ......" Shen Chao introduced a fake version of the story between him and Alice, basically saying that they had known each other for a long time, and that Shen Chao was temporarily separated when he joined the Star Alliance Navy.
"And you just want to bring her along?" I remember you still have two team members......" After getting Shen Chao's affirmative answer. Shepard also had a small calculation in her heart, but she didn't think that she had many talents under her command at all.
Thinking of the other two people I saw before, what are their specialties? Shepard didn't believe that a teammate picked by a master like Shen Chao would be sent there. Even so, if you can pull them into your own team......
"I can't put all my eggs in one basket, Commander. Besides, we don't have that much living space. Shen Chao despised Shepard in his heart for being insatiable and wanted to dig into his own corner, but the reason he gave for refusing was reasonable.
After all, the Normandy is a very small frigate with very few cabins. And it's not that much space. Except for the captain's and first mate's cabins, there are any private rooms for people to live in.
The rest of the crew members share a bunk with two people, and usually rely on the rotation system to use the bunks. Beds are already tight. Coupled with so many new alien teammates from the previous period, there are not many vacant seats in Normandy now. …,
The Marines were not a joke, and if it weren't for the fact that Lex was too big and volunteered to sleep in the hold, they probably wouldn't have enough rest space for all the current crews.
"Oh, I understand, do you know how to enjoy it......" Sister Xue first agreed with him, then thought about it, and said meaningfully after thinking about the structure of the first officer's room.
She was vaguely complaining that Shen Chao only brought his girlfriend on the boat for the purpose of "sexual happiness" when he was on the boat. At present, the only person who can have this privacy space on the ship is Shen Chao. Regarding this complaint, Shen Chao did not refute it. Because that's really part of the reason why he only brought Alice on board alone.
"What do you think, miss, ...... you would like to be part of our operation?" Shepard turned to Alice, who had not spoken until now. He hadn't asked the person in front of him directly.
"I'm fine, as long as we don't separate when we act." Alice replied, rubbing her blonde hair. Her tone was not too friendly, because she knew about Shen Chao's previous conflict with this woman.
Although Shen Chao has already looked forward. I don't really care about Shepard's cheating behavior and the losses he suffered when he fought him a few times before, but Alice still doesn't have a good impression of the "Galactic Heroine" in front of her because of this.
"Oh, is your blonde girlfriend quite temperamental, will she obey orders?" Shepard laughed and complained. The voice was also accentuated especially on the "blonde". She probably guessed the reason why the woman in front of her was hostile to her.
And the reason why she complained like this is also because of the special cultural background of this world. In the two centuries prior to this, interracial mixing was very common among human beings.
As a side effect of the great fusion of human genes all over the world. It is rare for people in this era to be born blonde, and the probability of seeing a naturally blonde human is very, very low. People who meet it will even use this as a talking point.
"She'll do...... As long as it's an order I've confirmed. Shen Chao replied.
"Oh, so can you make sure that you overcome your personal emotions in the mission and not be particularly biased towards her?" Shepard turned his head and looked at Shen Chao in surprise.
"I think I can do it, Commander, after all, I'm just following your example. You and Liara ......" Shen Chao began to knock on the side.
"Okay, stop, I see what you mean. Your girlfriend can stay, but she won't get any special treatment, and you'll have to make sure she follows orders during the mission...... That's it," Shepard knew as soon as he heard him say about Liara that his previous cover-up had not worked.
Although the entire ship was rumored about her relationship with the Asare, it would hurt the feelings of the ordinary crew if she leaked it now.
After a brief inquiry, Shepard also learned that Alice was actually a novice ability who had just gained abilities, and she was also very strong in fighting without abilities, but she still needed professional guidance in the development of abilities......
When Shepard heard this, he also understood why Shen Chao was willing to take his girlfriend over for an adventure, it turned out that he wanted his girlfriend to learn and develop his potential from the first-class abilities on the ship at close range.
This also means that she has to help out as well, because the more capable each individual on the team is, the better their chances of success. After learning that Alice had not yet implanted the amplification chip, she immediately notified Dr. Chakovos in the medical room to prepare for the operation.
Ten minutes later, in the medical room, Alice placed her arm on a small operating table under the guidance of Dr. Chakobos, ready to receive a chip implant. Not far away stood Shen Chao and Shepard, who had just received a simple treatment. There were quite a few people next to them, like Lex and Liara.
"Is your girlfriend good, much better than when you first got on the boat." Shepard stood next to Shen Chao and said while observing. As she spoke, she massaged her own left rib with her right hand. She was not lightly injured just now. It was also the first time in many years since she became an N7 that she failed to win a battle. …,
Her injuries were sustained during her brief test on Alice just now. Also being tested by the harsh was her left cheek, where there was a small swollen wound with clear medical glue. It is expected to return to normal in a few hours.
"This is retribution, I warned you not to cheat. Shen Chao, who was standing next to him, said and took off the paper stuffed in his nose, and his nosebleed had stopped. He was also injured in the test just now.
Why did they get hurt? That's going back a few minutes to a few minutes ago. After agreeing in principle to let Alice aboard, Shepard insisted on "testing" the new crew's skills first.
For this, she decides to have a short kickboxing "friendly match" with Alice in the restaurant on the second deck. In order to support Shen Chao, Alice accepted the challenge.
Before the start of this short friendly match, Shen Chao repeatedly reminded Shepard not to try to cheat with his abilities, otherwise he would intervene, but just like when he played with him before, Sister Xue cheated again when she couldn't win halfway through the fight.
Seeing that Alice was knocked to the cabin version next to her by Sister Xue's ability field and then landed, Shen Chao immediately felt that there were a hundred grass and mud horses running wild in his head.
Before, he was put down by Sister Xue's cheating method, but Sister Xue bullied Alice in front of his eyes like this, as a man, he couldn't accept it. Seeing this, Shen Chao basically turned on his maximum speed without thinking about it, and rushed up to squash Sister Xue.
Of course, Haibian was a scene in his mind, but the actual situation was that he first knocked Sister Xue to the ground with a punch at an extremely powerful speed, and then the participants in the "friendly match" became him and Shepard.
With ghostly speed and unrivaled striking resistance, he was able to dodge or withstand multiple of Shepard's short-range attacks. Gave the opponent many extremely heavy blows.
If Shepard hadn't seen that the situation was wrong and immediately made a strong protective ability to protect her torso, she might have been beaten into meat sauce by Shen Chao's fist by now. RQ
