Chapter VIII: Crisis
Josephine let go of her hand and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, my hand slipped!" ”
The man jumped to his feet, holding his bleeding hand, and took a few steps back in horror.
Josephine pulled open the table, took out a star coin and threw it to the man, "Take it, you can go, I have other guests here." ”
"Josephine, you are in trouble, you dare to do something to me, and no one will dare to buy your flowers and trees in the future, you just wait for bankruptcy!" The man jumped to his feet and shouted at Josephine.
Josephine, pen in hand, stepped out from behind the desk, "A lot of people say that, I've always been fine. Not one worse than you. ”
The man stepped back, afraid that Josephine would give him another blow.
Josephine walked up to Rayson and sat down gracefully, "I'm sorry, I'm busy with work, so I've kept you waiting. ”
Rayson had a smile on his face, "It's okay, I can wait." ”
The man seemed to be frightened by Josephine, and only dared to be angry at Rayson, "Boy, I let you leave, you dare to buy a star coin from Josephine, I will let you live until tomorrow." ”
The smile on Rayson's face disappeared, although he was very weak, he would never be threatened, he snorted, "I remember your name is Andrew......"
The man sitting next to Rayson saw that Rayson was about to have a seizure, so he hurriedly slapped the cigarette and ash that fell on his body, and shouted, "Forget it, forget it!" Andrew, have nothing to do with others, don't be angry with people at will. It's not in order! ”
The man went over and grabbed Andrew, "Gone, gone, a little thing, it's okay, it's okay!" ”
Andrew was about to say something, but the man glared at him fiercely, pulled him open the glass door and left.
Josephine seemed to forget what had just happened, and said to Rayson, "I have here apple trees, pear trees, apricot trees, hawthorn trees, persimmon trees, longans, grapes, what do you need?" ”
Rayson looked at the glass house outside, "I can go and see, all I need is a small sapling, a kilogram, oh no, a kilogram or less." Don't want much, the price is negotiable! ”
"Okay, I can show you there." Josephine got up and politely asked Rayson to follow her to the glass room.
Small saplings planted in small, round plastic buckets are placed on rows of elevated shelves that increase upwards. This glass house is full of fruit tree saplings, and everything Rayson can recognize through Chinese and English signage is here.
The saplings are not large, and they will not exceed a kilogram.
Satisfied with Rayson, he stopped, "Josephine, please forgive me for calling you that, I really don't know what to call you appropriately. How to sell five of each type of fruit tree? ”
Josephine paused, "One star coin and one tree, this is all cultivated by my father, the day before yesterday, he died, died on the street." I took over this nursery and didn't know what to do, so I had to sell part of it first and then sell the nursery. ”
Rayson nodded, "Okay, five of each." I sympathize with you for your misfortune and mourn it. ”
Rayson comforted Josephine, and then said, "Please call me a car later, I will send these fruit seedlings to my recycling boat." I'm really causing you trouble. ”
"Recycling ship? Substance decomposition recovery ship? ”
Rayson nodded.
"Is it easy to do?" Josephine asked seriously.
Rayson didn't know how to answer, and said that it was easy to do, and there was almost no memory of the owner of the recovery ship being a woman, and it was difficult to say that it was difficult to do, as if his life was not bad.
"Pretty much." Rayson gave a vague answer.
The robot dragged the fruit tree seedlings that Rayson wanted to the front of the house with a hoverboard.
Inside the house, Josephine called a hovercar for Rayson, and then sat in front of Rayson, blinking at Rayson with sapphire eyes, "Can you give me a copy of your business card?" Perhaps, we will meet in the stars soon. ”
"Oh!" Rayson took out the second business card in his life.
After exchanging business cards with him, Josephine asked a few more questions about the material decomposition recovery ship. Rayson smiled, combining his memories and his own observations to answer the questions.
The two had a pleasant conversation, and after the arrival of the hovertruck, in front of the nursery gate, Rayson and Josephine said goodbye and returned to the trading area with valuable fruit seedlings.
Moving the seedlings to the living cabin and closing the hatch, Rayson carefully picked up two trees, entered the space, dug a pit by hand not far from the turntable, and poked a few small holes in the soft plastic bucket according to Josephine's suggestion, and planted the fruit trees with hope.
I was so busy that my back and legs hurt, and dozens of fruit trees were planted.
After pondering for a moment, he came to the control cabin and called to Simi, "Simi, I need a sturdy barrel that weighs less than a kilogram." ”
"Master Rayson, I was looking for you on something, and I found that there were a few ill-intentioned people staring at us."
Rayson was startled, "What person?" ”
"See for yourself, master." Three people's avatars appeared on the hanging screen, one was Andrew, one was the man, and one was a bearded Oriental.
"I know them. He threatened me, and I hit me back, probably wanting revenge. Simi, you can handle it, right? Rayson nodded at Andrew's image and shrugged his shoulders absently.
"We need to leave as soon as possible, we're still weak and we can't get into too much trouble," Simi said. ”
"I agree! I want my bucket! ”
"Wessen has been arranged to do it, and it will be delivered to you in a moment. Okay, I apply to leave Ankang Xinghang Road, master, you have been running for a day, you can rest. ”
Simi's words made Rayson subconsciously touch his nose, "What you said makes sense." ”
Not long after Rayson returned to the living module, the robot Vissen brought him a metal bucket, which was very light, with a nozzle and a handle, which was convenient for Rayson to fetch water. They all saw Rayson's purchase of fruit trees and understood what Rayson wanted the bucket to do.
Rayson tapped the wall of the barrel with satisfaction, making a crisp sound, "Thank you, Weisen, I'm satisfied." ”
Vieson put his feet together and saluted Raisen, "It is the glory of Vissen to serve the master!" ”
When Wei Sen left, Rayson subconsciously touched his nose again, as if he had forgotten to return the salute just now, which was very rude.
When you get to the space, you water the fruit trees, plant a small furrow of vegetables, water them, and leave.
Lying on the bed, Rayson muttered, "Can I witness the moment when a miracle happens?" Certain! ”
Rayson is a little unreasonable, the space is full of thick gray fog, there is no sunlight, I really don't know what will happen to the fruit tree seedlings. Is it dead or alive? Rayson flipped his hand, looked at his palm, and then at the back of his hand, but couldn't see the answer.
"Tick! Simi Bulletin! The Simi is on the way to leave Ancon with permission to leave. Ask the host and individual members to stop moving. One minute to prepare...... Thirty seconds...... Twenty seconds...... Ten seconds, nine, eight, seven......"
"The Simi takes off! Enter the designated passage! ”
Rayson shook on the bed for a moment, sat up all at once, and listened to Simi's voice in a daze.
He had a dream that after entering the starry sky, there would be a team of spaceships ambushing the Simi, and he watched as the Simi broke into the ambush circle, was hit by several lasers, and scattered in the air.
Rayson, who was in a cold sweat, decisively ran to the empty cabin, sat on the captain's chair, and said to Simi: "Simi, now the route of the Simi has to be changed." ”
"Why?"
"Don't ask why! This is my authority, I order you to change the route, I feel that there will be an ambush on the route you have set, and our results will be miserable. Do you understand? "Rayson is serious.
The blue eyes on the roof of the control room flashed, "I need a reason. ”
"Order, no need for reason. Execute the command! Rayson was a little irritable. Regardless of whether the dream was real or not, he was sure that neither he nor his ex had such a picture in their memory, the picture was very real, and he could see the faces of the people in the control room of the other party. He didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford it.
Simi's voice sounded mechanically, "Yes, Master Rayson, Simi has an order, please draw up a starry sky route map." ”
A star map appears on the hanging screen, and the route to be flown is clearly marked on the star map. Rayson looked at the star map and thought for a while, he was very familiar with the star map, the familiarity came from his predecessor, it was not difficult to make a route map, it was difficult to find more interstellar wreckage to recover in the relative safety of the star.
He thought about it for a moment, combined with his memory, and drew an arc on the star map with his drawing pen, bypassing the place where he suspected it was the starry sky in the dream, and with his head down, he asked, "Simi, how far can our star detector detect?" ”
"Three thousand stars, one-way detection."
Rayson touched his chin, "What is the best detection range for the recovery ship?" ”
"Out of 5,000 stars, there is only the latest recovery ship." Simi replied succinctly.
Rayson clicked on the star map, "Reach this point at full speed, then turn off the energy conversion attack, and the whole ship is silent, using the sunlight to drift back." Arrive at this place and lurk! ”
Rayson put down the pen and said to himself, "I hope I'm wrong, otherwise, we're all done." ”
Rayson handed the route map to Simi, "Execute, if I'm wrong this time, I'll listen to you later." Also, Simi, draw a map of the next upgrade of the Simi, send me to apply for verification, and I fully support your upgrade. That's all, Ann! ”
"Yes! Simi understands! Simi's voice was a little more lively.
The Simi changed course according to the route map drawn up by Rayson, and in the starry sky, it flew into deep space with full afterburner.
Lei Sen couldn't sleep anymore, sat down at the coffee table, asked Chang Lei to bring a glass of water, stared at the water in the cup and kept shaking, and muttered: "It seems, it seems, maybe there is going to be a storm." I wish the storm had risen only in a glass of water, and I could drink it. ”
With a sense of crisis, Rayson finds himself vulnerable and incompetent, and maybe it's time to change himself and make himself stronger.
Rayson swallowed the water in the cup, walked to the maintenance cabin, called Verley, Weisen, Weixi, and Vimy, and drew a few pictures on the floor of the maintenance cabin, "This is dumbbells, I need a pair." This is a treadmill, the speed is adjustable, driven by energy blocks, the detailed design has been taught to you, and it will be made for me in the fastest time. ”
"Yes, master!" Vimi scanned the drawings on the floor, then returned to the next room to refine the design. This Vimi is the robot that gave him the beads in the first place.
As soon as he received the dumbbells, Rayson exercised and took the dumbbells to practice the muscles of his upper body frantically. He wants strength, a lot of power, at least the power to knock that Andrew to the point with one punch. If he had, he would have beaten Andrew to the point of fear like Josephine did.
No one likes to be threatened by others, and at that time, Rayson couldn't see anger on the surface, but the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable, and it was only because he acted in the style of his predecessor that he didn't explode on the spot.
