Old couple reborn daily [Interstellar]

Before Dean hopped into the restaurant with a special pass, Chajoanne was fighting his spiky plate.

The dinner plates piled up to the point of prominence are of course Lu's masterpiece. Young Master Xia has always been the type to eat as much as he can, and he doesn't have the wasteful habit that males from ordinary aristocratic families tend to develop.

Besides, this ship with a formal establishment belongs to the regular military ship of the Third Fleet, and it is basically not used for reception purposes. The "long window" was not opened. Xia Qiaoan only glanced at the details of the hall after entering the restaurant, and roughly expected that most of the energy packages that are most common in the army can be provided here, and the types of food reserves are very limited.

Like what Lu just put on his dinner plate, it is probably considered "the tallest among the dwarfs", and it is relatively delicious among the limited food types.

But the female gave them all to him, and kept nothing for herself.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Xia Qiaoan didn't stop Lil from adding food to him, knowing that firstly, he couldn't stop him, and secondly, if he forked back the food offered eagerly by the other party, he would only end up becoming A tug-of-war, you come and go, endless.

So he didn't stop at all, and when the tip of his dinner plate came out, and the female insect finally stopped, he inserted a piece of food from his own dinner plate with peace of mind, but instead of sending it to his mouth, he stretched out his arm and took the food away. The fork was passed to the mouth of the female insect.

Ritsu stared at the food being handed to his mouth in a daze for a moment, and felt that the gazes from around him that had been cast on him intentionally or unintentionally just now became more and more instantly.

Xia Qiaoan: "Since I sat down, I've started to pile all the food to my side. This is acting like a baby in disguise, and you want me to feed you, right? Open your mouth, ah—"

Of course, that’s not what Lulu meant. What he put on Xiongzhu’s dinner plate was indeed something rare and more delicious in the energy set meal. I hope his young master can eat a little bit, so as to avoid being caught on the ship because of unsuitable food. starve.

Law didn't say "ah", he just wanted to tell the hero that the other party misunderstood his motives.

But... Xia Qiaoan waited so long for him to speak when he wanted to explain.

Without uttering a word, Ritsu was gagged by the little vegetables that seized the opportunity.

The food that suddenly filled his mouth made him no matter what he wanted to say, but it turned into a slightly short "ummm" in an instant.

In the restaurant, because "male and female combinations" are too rare in the ship, there are already many worms paying attention to this head, intentionally or unintentionally. There are probably not a few tables of worms in the entire restaurant at noon today who are really serious about eating.

The sound of "hmm" was particularly intriguing, and more insects looked at Xia Qiaoan and Lu at once. The crew members who had concealed it a little at first didn't even try to hide it. What the hell are the worms doing", "Can you consider taking into account the mood of our single worms in public places" and "Damn it, I'm really envious and want to be fed like this and flirt with the male worms" and other information.

And just besides these three types of information that basically contain [-]% of the meaning of the eyes, with his innate excellent spiritual perception, the young master Xia who has naturally fed the law found that there are two table bugs with extremely different eyes. to the public.

Because the gazes of these two tables were so special, as if they were not on the same channel as the other worms in the restaurant, Xia Qiaoan not only found out the source of the gazes, but took a look.

Not far from them, two table bugs looked away trying to cover up.

It was Lil's C team members and another team that was temporarily assigned to him to manage and followed him on a rescue mission.

"Law." Xia Qiaoan has a strong perception ability, but perception ability is not directly linked to the ability to listen to a high degree of hearing. He poked the cheeks of the female insect that were slightly swollen due to chewing, and felt that small muscle suddenly stopped. , laughed, "Can you focus on your ears for a while, and listen to what your team members are saying at the table and the next table? I think the sight they cast is very indescribable."

Unless necessary, the captain of the law will never use his listening ability to listen to his team members "talking small things", but it is his own hero who speaks, and the restaurant is a public place, and neither of the two table bugs has any privacy As for the protective measures, there should be no secrets here.

Soon, Lily focused his attention on his ears, and his hearing range extended in an instant, like a fan-shaped "sniffing net" was spread towards the designated direction, covering the target two tables in the monitoring area.

I also heard clearly the content of the "small talk" between my team members and the team next door.

"Although being fed is a bit enviable, and the atmosphere between them is also very good, but..."

"However, the captain's posture of feeding the little male worms after sitting down before is really patriarchal. You want to say this, right?"

"Um……"

"Wait, what parent?"

This is my team member.

The next table said——

"I don't know if it's because the phrase 'this parent' said by the crew member on the other side left a deep impression on the insects. Until today, when I saw Captain Law and the young master of the Xia family together, I still couldn't help but substitute them into the guardianship relationship. .”

"I'm feeling it too……"

"What 'this parent'?"

That day, Captain Law was very fair. When splitting the team, the two teams were first broken up and then reorganized according to the combat characteristics of each insect. Therefore, those who witnessed the "parental misunderstanding" with him were those from their own C team. Lan and Ye also had worms from another team.

The members of the two teams were not considered gossips, otherwise they would have shaken it off as soon as they reunited with their teammates when they heard such a big joke about "this parent".

But they are not gossip, and it doesn't mean they can't gossip.

At this moment, seeing Liu taking good care of the underage Young Master Xia, the voice "this parent" said by the opposite crew member Jin Li seemed to have activated the automatic surround in his head, so that the few insects who directly hit the scene could no longer hold back. Stop and discuss quietly.

The team members who failed to witness this scene questioned the "parents" that their teammates called, sounding very confused. Lu Jing listened to the worms who had seen the scene start to look back on their own misfortune, and endured it. Without holding back, he ground his teeth that smelled like fresh fruits and vegetables.

Then he felt something lightly touch the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the unpredictable expression of the female insect, Xia Qiaoan forked another piece of baked goods, and tapped the corners of her mouth with the fork across the food.

"The expression is not very good." Young Master Xia said, "Did you hear something that made Ling Chong unhappy? But I think at least your team members should not speak ill of the captain behind his back, so—it's not bad to say it, but Or the truth that can make you feel sad?”

Law especially doesn't want the male lord to continue guessing, wishing that the male worm can selectively lose his memory and never remember the "parents" that the crew on the other side said.

So he obediently opened his mouth, took the food, and consciously blocked his mouth with food.

Xia Qiaoan understood that the female insect was using inconvenience to cover up her reluctance, so she blinked and didn't ask.

He was quite satisfied with Lil's gesture of cooperating with the feeding, and took the opportunity to keep pushing.

When Dean jumped into the restaurant with "new progress", Xia Qiaoan's plan of "sharpening the plate" was almost half completed.

Lu was fed to [-]% full by him, and suddenly realized that he was about to eat up all the food that he wanted to dedicate to the hero, and was looking back and forth at the dinner plates on both sides, a little dazed.

Dean, who jumped in like a small cannonball, hung on the male arm and happily announced the new progress.

The "new development" that allowed the little boy on the ship next door to send messages is of course related to Xia Qiaoan's evolution.

He hastily fed himself until he was [-]% full. When he got up, he touched the female worm's belly. After confirming that the female worm was mostly full, Xia Qiaoan led Lily through the restaurant with a group of crew members with different expressions, and followed Dean. Passed the Qiming next door.

Those who received them were Golden Lizard, Captain Palagu, and Palagu's "human-flesh translator" chief mate.

"Your brother is in the main control room, and Ian is the only one staying there for the time being. Is Dean going to accompany his brother?" Golden Lizard asked Dean gently.

The little boy realized that this was a tactful request to leave. He was originally only in charge of calling people. Knowing that Joan's brother's illness was complicated, and there seemed to be a lot of hidden secrets behind it, so he couldn't reveal too much, so he obediently nodded his head and came out without complaint. After closing the door, he waved to several people (worms) in the room before closing the door: "See you later, if there is anything else I can help with, please don't hesitate to call me!"

Everyone in the room laughed at what he said, and waved at him in unison.

When the magnetic control door was closed, blocking the figure of the little boy and his childish "dengdeng" footsteps, everyone's expressions became serious.

Golden Lizard took the lead and said: "Yesterday, I only got the inspection report, but there are too many items in the report that need further analysis, so I just let you rest first, and we will notify you after we have the preliminary analysis results."

Xia Qiaoan nodded slightly: "Can you let me see the analysis results now?"

"Of course." Palagu said through the mouth of the chief mate. Today, the captain of the octopus is different from what he saw before. Probably to match the room size, he scaled himself to look like a golden lizard. It's about the same height, and while talking, the tentacles stretched out, and several claws simultaneously operated the control screens located in different directions.

It takes several floating screens to display the analysis results and then project them. These freely zoomable screens are arranged around Xia Qiaoan and the law. Xia Qiaoan saw the one with a large area marked in red at a glance, and pulled it to her eyes.

Golden Lizard: "You grasped the key at once."

This is the one that records the detailed explanation of the source of obstruction.

Although Xia Qiaoan had seen another inspection report and analysis results in the previous life, because he met Ian and the others earlier this time, his physical condition was different from his two years later. Therefore, he had to quickly scan through the analysis of the source of obstruction, and was sure that except for some numerical differences, the source and the general direction of the solution had not changed, so he was relieved.

This strange source of hindrance is located in the mental control center of Xia Qiaoan's body. It does not have a physical body, but is a mass of abnormal energy entrenched there. It will not be born by the male's body, nor will it be excreted by itself with the circulation of the body. go.

During the years before Xia Qiaoan grew up to the third stage of evolution, this mass of energy seemed to be at peace with him, neither hindering his daily life nor affecting the first two evolutions.

But after he has grown up to the point where he is about to undergo the third stage of evolution, it is like a chronic poison that needs to be taken for many years to show its effect. His body has accumulated power for evolution, and at the same time, he has set his greedy eyes on his spiritual power.

"Compared to males of the same age, your mental reserve and proficiency in using mental power are much higher than the average, but at the same time, because of the existence of obstacles, the consumption you need to pay when mobilizing mental power is also much higher than Average value." Palagu showed the important data circle to Xia Qiaoan, "This means that no matter how much mental power you have, at double or even three or four times the rate of consumption, your mental power will be like an injury. Although the game skill is high but has an extremely long cooling time, although it is amazing when used, it is short-lived and not long-lasting. Once it is used for too long, it will damage one's own body, injure the enemy eight hundred, and self-injury one thousand. "

"This is also the main reason why you fainted from exhaustion after a battle that day even though you have such an excellent reserve of mental power."

Golden Lizard continued what the captain said, and carefully observed the expressions of Xia Qiaoan and Lu, and noticed that when he mentioned "exhausted coma", the adult female's expression changed, while the juvenile male next to him Ben was concentrating on the screen in front of him, his eyes following Palagu's instructions.

Xia Qiaoan seemed to be able to notice that Lu's mood turned slightly bad in an instant without turning his head. He was still looking at the floating screen, but he stretched out his arm and grabbed the female's hand accurately.

Then the two worms naturally turned into two claws clasped, and the furrowed brows of the law relaxed a little, and the expression was not so ugly.

Golden Lizard: "..."

In fact, I just wanted to pay attention to see if there is anything you don't understand, so that I can immediately add explanations to what you don't understand.

It's a pity that Xia Qiaoan and Lu basically won't be puzzled.

But they still acted like they were listening intently, and went through a round of explaining all the knowledge points in their hearts like doing a review.

"Now." After "explaining", Palagudao said, "the next problem before us is that although we have successfully found the root cause, we have also analyzed the basic solution—transfer the energy out through the auxiliary medium, or It is counteracted by energies of the exact opposite nature, but neither the selection of the medium nor the extraction of the opposite energies is instantaneous."

"We have already referred to the existing tools and all the raw energy stones in our own database." Golden Lizard opened another floating screen and showed Xia Qiaoan and Lu directly the electronic version of their corresponding material library, "But as you can see , there is a possibility that it can be used, but the nature is exactly opposite to this energy, and it can be guaranteed not to harm the body of the small male insect when extracting it, and there is no such existence recorded in our database."

"We're thinking about taking a few rough tool stones that 'may be usable' to try our hands first." Lest Xia Qiaoan be disappointed, Palagu quickly added after Golden Lizard finished speaking.

He stretched out a tentacle claw and patted Xia Qiaoan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we will try to improve it as much as possible, and at the same time inform other partners to see if there are undiscovered energy stones in the depths of the universe - after all, the universe is so big , the things that have not been discovered will only be much more than the known things!"

The young male was swallowed by Captain Octopus's "Interstellar Chicken Soup for the Soul", but he didn't look very excited. He lowered his eyebrows slightly, and the hand that held the female tightened.

The female turned her head and looked at the boy's hair with a somewhat complicated look for a while, and when he turned back to Golden Lizard and Palagu, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination: "If I turn around after two rounds, A rough energy stone is sent, are you two willing to sign a rough stone usage agreement, and try to analyze that rough stone on the basis of fulfilling the agreement?"

Palagu and Golden Lizard looked at each other.

This is a disguised statement. The higher Zerg happened to have a raw energy stone that had not been recorded in their database, and it was suspected that it had not been discovered before.

Xia Qiaoan felt Lu's eyes stay on his hair and then moved away. He cooperated with his partner, raised his head after Li finished speaking, and asked softly uncertainly: "But isn't this against the rules?"

"We'll go back and report to the officer now," Li replied.

As a result, the two worms returned from the Qiming, as soon as they returned to the ships of the Third Fleet, they got into the chief executive's office again.

Bo Yang still remembered Young Master Xia's "dressing show" in the aisle before, and suddenly saw that this time two worms ran up to him together, his face remained calm, and he was a little scared inside, lest the two of you would come here this time. A joint show.

The reason and purpose of Danlu and Xia Qiaoan's visit were very legitimate, and they only mentioned the energy stone and the source of obstacles.

Cut out a small sample from the energy rough stone being mined and send it to an extraterrestrial organization for inspection. The purpose of the inspection is to solve the evolutionary obstacle of the small male insects of this family. Can.

Bo Yang responded to Lu's application, took a "shortcut" to pass the report submitted by Lu to the relevant worm staff, and also notified Xia Qiaobei once more, asking Xia Qiaobei to pay attention to pass the news to his parents, and don't worry about it anymore. Hidden, some things are easier to solve with the intervention of the two elders of the Xia family.

Xia Qiaobei, under the "obscene power" of the cross-satellite signal, returned the message almost half a cycle later, and asked about Xia Qiaoan's situation by the way.

"For the time being, no one has really related this matter to his parents and told him." Bo Yang knew what Xia Qiaobei was worried about, so he quickly replied, and sent a video clip of "Xia Qiaoan's activities in the ship today" to the other party.

It must be mentioned that Bo Yang asked his adjutant to do this edited video, and he hadn't even had time to watch it himself.

Officer Bai completely felt that, rather than a monotonous and editable written report, it would be more reassuring for the other party to let the elder brother who cared about his younger brother watch the video directly to see the mental outlook of the little male living in the ship.

So until he sent the video, he felt that he had protected the little male's mind for Xia Qiaobei, not adding any psychological burden to Xia Qiaoan who was still outside the planet, and he was also considerate so that the other party could remotely see a lively The younger brother himself is really good, but when his "grading teacher" sent back a result with only a long string of ellipses, Bo Yang suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he opened the video and took a look——

He saw Xia Qiaoan who was blatantly swaying around the ship in a female insect coat.

Leaning against Xia Qiaoan who was waiting at the door of the regular meeting room to pick up the worms.

Xia Qiaoan was feeding the female worms with a smile on her face in the dining room of the ship.

……

……

"Not good." Officer Bai, who turned off the video, thought with a gloomy face, "I'm afraid it's over."

In the midst of Chief Bai’s sorrow for his “end of insect life”, the relevant procedures were quickly completed, and the newly mined rough stone samples were rushed to the Qiming ship by the special insects. He brought good news to Xia Qiaoan, and told the little male that this kind of rough stone can exactly offset the energy in his body. As long as the energy in the rough stone is converted again, his evolutionary breakthrough surgery can be performed at any time.

The Golden Lizard originally thought that Xia Qiaoan could not wait for the evolution, and asked for the operation to start as soon as possible.

But unexpectedly, the boy hesitated for a moment.

"I was wondering, could you please delay this news for two days before making it public?"
