Chapter 3: Successive failures
Xiao Zhu'er's fierceness was something Qin Xiao didn't expect, he laughed dryly and said, "Don't be like this, I actually only sell my art and not my body." ”
"Why don't you sell yourself?" Xiao Zhu'er asked with a serious face, not seeing the slightest hint of joking.
Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't speak, Xiao Zhu'er picked up the purchase list on the table and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be very short of money." ”
She said it naturally, without condescending arrogance or sarcasm.
"I won't restrict your personal freedom for a long time, it's just that the production of star stripes needs to be constantly fine-tuned, and if you only say a general idea, it won't help me much, I need your cooperation throughout the process."
She put down the list and said domineeringly: "As long as you are willing to help me do things, I can buy you 300 copies of the medicines on the list, and these equipment will be bought directly for you to use, no need to rent." ”
Qin Xiao, who was still thinking about "how old are you" a moment ago, immediately changed his attitude after hearing the price offered by Xiao Zhu'er.
Isn't it just a matter of cooperating throughout the process, what a big deal?
As long as the price is in place, even if you accompany the whole process...... It's not impossible to eat and drink.
Make money, don't shudder.
Having said that, Qin Xiao only agreed with Xiao Zhu'er to help her do things at the price of a thousand star diamonds a day.
This is a very conscientious price, equivalent to the income of a top star pattern master's assistant, and with Qin Xiao's strength, this price is more than enough.
As for the price that Xiao Zhu'er proposed at the beginning, although he was tempted, he didn't want to accept it at all.
Many people only know that Xiao Zhu'er is a genius who was born out of nowhere, but they don't know her real background.
Xiao Zhu'er was born in the Bai family, one of the five major families of the Star Pole Empire, and her mother was the eldest daughter of the current head of the Bai family.
Although Xiao Zhu'er is a foreigner, his status in the Bai family is not low at all.
If it weren't for the fact that she had a demonic brother, with her talent in the star pattern field, she would definitely be the leader of her generation of Bai family.
Qin Xiao knew very well what the criteria for doing business with the children of such a big family were.
You can make their money, and you can even make a lot of money from them, but you must not deceive them.
Xiao Zhu'er is still a little girl who is obsessed with the way of star stripes and has a clear understanding of resources.
She dared to give it casually, but Qin Xiao really didn't dare to ask for it casually.
When the two left, the reporter outside the door once again pointed the camera at them, and this time Qin Xiao finally had a lot of pictures.
After all, Xiao Zhu'er was able to visit in person, and after the two lived in the same room and left together, Qin Xiao's identity began to lead to more speculation.
It's just mostly boring speculation about gossip.
Xiao Zhu'er's mechanical room is located in Qingpu College, and the mechanical room in the college was originally just a decoration, because Xiao Zhu'er joined in to really make use of it.
However, after entering the mechanical room, Qin Xiao instantly understood that the only thing that was being used here was this building.
The interior of the mechanical room is full of high-end goods, A-class mechanical tables and star energy furnaces, third-generation environmental simulation testing machines, various models of anti-gravity light blades, and a library of hundreds of genetic medicines.
Although Qin Xiao had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned after seeing these things, and then fell into a reverie.
"If I use this mechanical room for a year, I should be able to return to the level of a first-order star pattern master......
The blind thought soon came to an abrupt end, and Qin Xiao clearly realized that even if this mechanical room was given to him for free, he couldn't afford to use it now.
The maintenance and repair of equipment is not a small amount, not to mention the large amount of chemicals and foreign metals lost during the experiment.
Gently groping the lines on the mechanical table, which can be called a work of art, Qin Xiao smiled inexplicably wryly.
Before he was reborn, he fought desperately on the battlefield, and he didn't know how many important people he saved, and how many times he helped the commander carry the black cauldron before he had a mechanical room of his own.
And the level of that mechanical room is just as high as the level of the mechanical room in front of you, and it may even be a little insufficient in terms of resource reserves.
What you get by fighting until you die is just the starting point of others.
The wry smile on Qin Xiao's face was even stronger, but it was quickly hidden, he hated being troubled by negative emotions.
"It's okay, I still have a chance to do it all over again!"
Qin Xiao once again showed a confident smile on his face, and he opened the environmental simulation testing machine and said to Xiao Zhu'er: "Come, let's do a hypergravity test first." ”
Xiao Zhu'er was not surprised at all why Qin Xiao was so proficient in using the equipment here, and she replied crisply: "Okay, let's start." ”
When all kinds of equipment in the mechanical room were running at full capacity, the gossip reporters outside the mechanical room had already been driven away by a group of fierce and vicious star warriors.
In the dean's building not far away, a young man motioned for his subordinates to step back after listening to their reports.
Then he looked at the bald dean opposite and said, "So, that guy named Qin Xiao has always been very ordinary, and he has never had a bright performance before yesterday?" ”
"Yes, Young Master Bai, presumably your subordinates have already investigated very clearly, that kid from Qin Xiao has always behaved very normally, and there is nothing extraordinary." The bald dean replied cautiously.
The person in front of him couldn't help but be ignored by the bald dean, the other party was the eldest son and eldest grandson of the contemporary head of the Bai family, and he had already made great achievements on the battlefield in the north of the empire at a young age.
When people mention the name of Bai Qi, the first thing that comes to mind is his title of God of War, and then his identity as the young master of the Bai family.
Bai Qi's arrival made the bald dean very nervous, and he spent the first half of his life studying how to make tricks in the academy system, and rarely communicated with this kind of general who led the troops to fight.
In the face of Bai Qi, the bald dean had a stomach of flattery and wanted to say, but every time he saw the other party's gloomy face, he could only hold back the words.
While struggling, he suddenly heard Bai Qi say softly: "Could it be that this is an evolutionary after genetic mutation?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's possible, it's possible." The bald dean nodded in agreement.
Bai Qi sneered and said: "Even if you go through a well-your-gene mutation and evolve a new gene, at most, your body will become stronger, and I haven't heard that you can automatically learn the star pattern technique after evolution." ”
The bald dean smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Bai Qi waved his hand, as if he didn't want to mention it again.
He looked at the bald dean and said, "Dean Chen, you want to help your little sister become famous and find reporters to publicize it, which is a good point." But everything is too much, and then it's better to be quieter, do you think it's okay? ”
How dare the bald dean say no, patting his chest and guaranteeing that no one will be able to disturb Xiao Zhu'er again.
Seeing that Bai Qi had no other instructions, the bald dean slowly left.
As soon as he walked out of the dean's building, the vice president immediately ran over: "Dean, Liu, Zhou, Zhao, Wang, the stewards of several families are waiting for you, they want to talk to you about recruiting Xiao Zhu'er." ”
"They? Recruit? Xiao Zhu'er? The bald dean gritted his teeth and said, "They are also worthy?" ”
"What are you talking about, Lord Dean?"
"You go and tell them that from today onwards, you are not allowed to disturb Xiao Zhu'er again, let alone contact in private. If any more entanglements happen, don't blame me for being unkind! ”
The vice president was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the dean, so he asked tentatively, "Dean, are you not satisfied with the price negotiated before?" ”
"What's the price? What is the price? I, Chen Qingzheng, devote myself to education, and never use students for personal gain, so don't bother me with these bad things in the future. ”
After the bald dean finished speaking with righteousness, he walked away with Shi Shiran behind his back.
The vice president looked at the dean's back stupidly, and only after a long time did he suddenly realize: "If you don't say that people are deans, the more you get to the critical moment, the more calm you are, and if it drags on for ten days and a half months, how many of them can't rush to raise the price?" ”
The open vice president followed suit, and walked slowly outside the school with his hands behind his back.
The reporter was driven away, the steward of the big family had no choice but to leave, and Qingpu College returned to its former calm.
Only the occasional entry and exit of that particular mechanical room brought some life to the lifeless academy.
For three whole days, except for Xiao Zhu'er's assistant, who frequently went in and out of the machinery room to replenish materials and transport away the scrap, Qin Xiao and Xiao Zhu'er never left a single step.
After another failed test, the atmosphere in the mechanical room fell to the extreme.
Xiao Zhu'er sat on the edge of the mechanical table, her face was already full of exhaustion, and her eyes were even cloudy.
But it didn't take long for her to get back to her feet, picking up the Anti-Gravity Lightblade and getting ready to get back to work.
Qin Xiao got up, pressed Xiao Zhu'er's hands, and said in a deep voice: "No, you can't continue, your star power is seriously overdrawn, and if you continue like this, your star core will be damaged." ”
Xiao Zhu'er stubbornly shook her head and said, "It's okay, I can still persevere, and I will almost succeed." ”
Qin Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, snatched the light blade and said, "Almost a fart, you don't want to live?" ”
His voice was very loud and his attitude was extremely bad, which frightened Xiao Zhu'er at a loss for a while.
"Presumptuous, how can you speak?" Seeing that Qin Xiao dared to yell at Xiao Zhu'er, her assistant stepped forward viciously and said.
"Shut up!" Qin Xiao roared angrily, turned his head to look at his assistant and said, "Are you a pig's brain, at this time, she is still thinking about patting her ass, she is almost exhausted!" ”
"You remember, as an assistant to the Starweaver, the most important duty is to ensure the health and safety of the Starweaver."
"No matter how important the star pattern is, it's just a tool after all, once a person dies, there is nothing!"
Seeing that the assistant was still stunned, Qin Xiao said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and find a doctor!" ”
"No, I'm fine......"
Xiao Zhu'er wanted to refuse, but she suddenly fainted before she finished speaking.
Only then did the assistant realize the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly ran out.
Soon he rushed back with the doctor, and after some treatment, he finally stabilized Xiao Zhu'er's condition.
"Her star energy consumption is very serious, and she has already injured the star core, so she must retreat for a while." The doctor carefully left the doctor's order and left.
Xiao Zhu'er had already come to her senses, and after hearing the news that she had to meditate, her expression was a little helpless, she looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "What now?" ”
Qin Xiao thought for a while, pinched his chin and said, "I'll take you to a fun place to relax." ”
