May you be happy and prosperous

"So people who are not phantom beast craftsmen can also join the ship? I thought that only phantom beast craftsmen who meet the team rules can board the ship?"

While rubbing his chin, Lu Twelve turned his head and glanced thoughtfully at Byron next to him. The latter almost immediately realized what he meant at this time, and raised his eyebrows: "Why, with the uncle Did I wrong you for forming a team, little short leg?"

Lu Twelve ignored him and looked at Saibona. The latter shrugged, stood up from the corner, rubbed his swollen walnut-like eyes, and said slowly in a crying voice: "Except for the privileges of some nobles in the VIP area, if there are relatives who can prove their blood relationship on Gamma A, they can obtain a boarding pass from the government for boarding an airship, but the airship ticket costs It’s not cheap to pay by yourself.”

Lu Twelve looked disdainful: "It doesn't matter if it's not cheap, it's not your money anyway."

While Sabona closed his mouth in embarrassment, JAY, who was sitting opposite the black-haired young man, burst out laughing: "You really know how to get right to the point."

"Necessary," Lu Twelve nodded, pointing to the little brat in front of him, "He stole my money, and this alone is an absolute death penalty for me—boy, anyway, the card has been folded by you, I have no other choice. If I really hand you over to the captain, my bank card cannot be recovered. I don’t want to beat you to death for the sake of your brother who is still alive and dead. Get out of my sight right now, promise me that you will never appear in front of me again, or see you once—"

Lu Twelve paused, then raised Fa Cai in his arms: "Let my cat tickle you once."

Fa Cai meowed lazily, raised his hind legs and scratched his belly, as if he was quite disdainful of the word "cat" and didn't bother to resist. On the contrary, Sabak, who was sitting opposite him, sat up straighter at this time, He said with a serious face: "My lord, please pay attention to maintaining your elegant image."

"Oh, don't be fooled by appearances, Sabac." Byron stretched out his hand and patted the strong man's shoulder, "Maybe he was a hooligan in his bones hundreds of years ago and you didn't know it , Now, I forgot about my acting skills, so the prototype was exposed."

Lu Twelve sneered and hugged Fa Cai in his arms. He stretched out his fluffy belly twice. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the two "teammates" who were sitting across from each other, singing and talking about cross talk. He asked in a very possessive tone: "Do you know each other hundreds of years ago? Are you familiar? Are you laughing at a cat that can't talk back? Do you dare to be more promising?"

Byron: "..."

Sabak: "..."

While the golden eyes of the furry phantom beast huddled in the arms of the black-haired young man stared at each other, the two looked at each other, and then shook their heads obediently.

"..." Saibna, who was completely thrown aside, glanced back and forth at the group of strange people in front of him, and pouted after a while, "According to the normal plot development, isn't there some kind-hearted people who will help me find it?" Brother?"

Sabac and Byron booed at the same time, JAY looked at the "crosstalk duo" appreciatively, and of course the last speaker was Lu Twelve, who was the most angry about "losing his wallet"——

"You've read too many fairy tales, my child. According to the normal plot, you are now standing at the supply station of Aquila, and it's not working every day." Lu Twelve calmly pointed to the exit defense line of the cabin. ,"Goodbye, forever."

Three minutes later, Saibona disappeared from everyone's sight.

Chasing away that annoying brat, Lu Twelve took a deep breath, raised his head and found that at this moment their entire "poor team" was fully assembled, and simply took advantage of this opportunity to hold a small meeting—the meeting's The specific content is of course: poor poor, poor like a worm, how to break it?

When the main content of the meeting was brought up, JAY immediately looked at Lu Twelve expectantly. Lu Twelve felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and frowned with vigilance on his face: "Why are you looking at me like that? Forty gold coins Ah! Do you think it's forty copper coins, and I can give you a miracle?"

"You went from a penniless tramp to a phantom beast worker who owns a phantom beast like Brother Cai..." JAY said implicitly, "If this is not a miracle..."

"This is called shit luck, not a miracle. The person who can conjure forty gold coins to buy extrusion equipment for our entire team can only be a magician. Go and let Ultraman give you magical powers." "Come on," Lu Twelve said expressionlessly, "or go and do a striptease for the local tyrants in the VIP area, and see if they can reward you a little..."

JAY twisted: "I hate it, people don't sell themselves."

Lu Twelve continued to say with a blank expression: "Then go die."

JAY calmed down, as if he finally lost the mood to continue joking, and said with a depressed face, "Then what should we do? If we couldn't complete the task in the past, wouldn't it be impossible to come back? In the subsidiary It is very troublesome for the planet to reissue the bank card of the Middle Ages. It takes at least half a month to send the documents back and forth—half a month. After half a month, Gamma A has already been dug into a gopher hole. Don't talk about doing tasks to get rewards, maybe there is not even a hair left with us."

At this time, Shabak and Byron, who had always been very calm about the matter of "no money" like soy sauce, finally seemed to smell something wrong from the gloomy clouds of the other two teammates——

"What do you mean?" Byron asked, "In the past, we couldn't receive tasks directly from Gamma A star?"

"I want to go to the mine to find something," Sabak said willfully and directly, "If I can't receive the task, can I not go to the mine?"

"Yes, and yes." Lu Twelve crossed his arms, nodded calmly, and directly answered the two teammates who had just circled Mars and finally returned to Earth. Seeing their frowning eyebrows instantly, he stretched out his hand and clapped He patted the pamphlet in front of him, "The Phantom Beast Staff Manual says that for the sake of personal safety, ordinary Phantom Beast staff must have complete equipment to be eligible for the task—"

Before Lu Twelve could finish his words, Sabak immediately grasped the point: "Ordinary Eudemons staff? What about the military staff?"

Both Lu Twelve and JAY were taken aback, as if they didn't expect Sabak to ask such a question, JAY first showed a hesitant look, then reached out and grabbed the booklet and looked it over carefully, finally, he was finally caught He rummaged in the corner and found this sentence——

[Strong military personnel can directly receive the task after passing the test, but because of this is a personal behavior, if an accident occurs, the consequences will be at your own risk. 】When JAY slowly read out the remark that seemed to be good news, Shabak and Byron obviously showed a relieved expression on their faces, but Lu Twelve subconsciously wanted to shake his head Negative - because even if it is tested on the ground, no one can guarantee that they will not have other problems when they go down to the mine, not to mention that this prompt also said that the consequences are at your own risk - this means that no one can be 100% It is guaranteed that the ground test results will fully match the actual underground conditions.

Thinking of this, Lu Twelve was about to speak to stop Sabak from taking risks, at this moment, he felt JAY gently kick his foot under the table under the cover of the booklet.

Lu Twelve first turned his head and glanced at JAY inexplicably, and then in the other's shining eyes, he finally remembered such an important message: Sabak itself is a phantom beast, so for him, he himself is indeed It is possible to go directly to the mine mission area to complete the mission without those equipments.

…Because this guy has been dangling in front of him in a human form for the last 24 hours, he almost forgot his real identity.

"..." Lu Twelve raised his hand and rubbed his temples, the blow of losing a wallet made his IQ a little bit behind--

So now, the remaining problem is the other military man in the team, Byron. When everyone's eyes were on the silver-haired young man, he just lazily yawned and smiled. Say to them, "If Sabac can do it, I can do it."

Lu Twelve stopped rubbing his temples, raised his head to look at Byron, and narrowed his eyes slightly suspiciously: "Are you sure?"

"Oh, sure." Byron smiled unchanged.

"If something goes wrong, you may not be free to collect the corpse for you." Lu Twelve emphasized with a straight face, "Everyone is busy after leaving the mission area."

"So busy that you don't have time to collect the corpse?" Byron shook his head "tsk tsk", "It's heartless."

"I'm lying to you." Lu Twelve withdrew his gaze, looked at the twinkling stardust outside the window, and said in a voice that sounded uncertain, "So according to the plan, let's earn enough equipment money for three people. How to make money, I should already have some ideas."

……

Two days and two nights later, the "Too Poor to Collapse" team landed safely on Gamma A, the planet belonging to the Middle Ancient Continent.

After living on the ship for two days and two nights, when Lu Twelve and his party landed on the ground of Gamma A, they not only hated the interstellar ship that sold [-] silver coins for a grade of mineral water, but at the same time, The prestige value of the "thief" industry among them has been directly reduced to "hatred".

At this time, there were four people in the team plus two phantom beasts, a total of six survivors. The total belongings of the whole body were one gold, twenty five silver and fifteen bronzes.

I was so sad that I almost cried.

If there is anything worse than "poor", then it must be the surrounding anomalies that can bring out the environment of their plight——

Compared with the shipyards of the Middle Ancient Continent, the shipyards of Star Gamma A are naturally much simpler, and there is no need to mention the turbulent crowds. In addition, there are workers carrying unrefined rough minerals everywhere. Wherever it passes, there will be a large string of unbelievable black powder; all kinds of phantom beasts around are buzzing high and low; every breath can smell that it has not been bathed for millions of years The smell of phantom fur...

Regarding this bustling scene, Lu Twelve said that this is really a very nostalgic scene. 500 years ago, every year in the Celestial Dynasty, you can watch such an unprecedented event, that is... the Spring Festival travel.

Yes, at this moment, Lu Twelve could only feel a sense of festiveness floating in the air that can only be found during the Spring Festival—and he was the one who had worked hard for a year but returned home penniless. Force wage earners.

Also drunk.

Following the long line slowly moving forward at a "creeping" speed, when Lu Twelve and his party finally moved to the front of the registration desk, about an hour had passed since they got off the ship, and corrected their names written on the registration form of the temporary relief station, JAY shook his head and sighed, and said to the people behind him without turning his head: "To multiply the money on us thirty times in a short period of time, I think we really need a god." trace."

After registering the name, he stepped aside and handed the pen to the black-haired young man following behind him, but at this moment the latter was not in a hurry to take the pen, but just hugged his phantom beast in his arms, He generously showed the fluffy white belly in everyone's eyes, then he grabbed one of its paws and waved in JAY's direction: "Brother Cai bestows you with magical power."

"It's over, it's over," JAY said while holding his forehead, "This is poor and stupid."

"You're poor and stupid." Lu Twelve taunted JAY while throwing Fa Cai on the ground—since Fa Cai changed from a small bunch of kittens that could be carried in his pocket to a round-shouldered little kitten like he is now. After the tiger, it lost the gentleness that Lu Twelve handled with care.

At this moment, it seems to miss the gentleness of the shit shoveler. After landing firmly, it turned its head and gave two dissatisfied "owwows" to its owner-unfortunately, the latter obviously didn't care about how it felt when it landed , self-servingly grabbed the registration pen and quickly wrote down his name, and at the same time said without raising his head: "The whole process of the incident lies in the 'success is also rich brother, and the failure is also rich brother'. We won't lose our purse, either; but thanks to its unreliability, we've carried it all the way from Earth—"

As Lu Twelfth said, he threw away the pen after registering, turned around, and patted the big bag in his hand amid Sabak's inexplicable expression. The big bag contained more than thirty coins. Egg tree fruit—yes, these "burdens" that had to be overcome from home despite Lu Twelve's strong protests when they got rich, have now become Lu Twelve's life-saving straw.

JAY: "What do you mean?"

Lu Twelve: "You'll know in a while."

JAY: "I hate people making mysteries with me the most."

Lu Twelve: "Oh, I'm not happy that you hit me."

"..." JAY was ready to move, he lowered his head and looked at the golden beckoning cat with his head up and chest up at the feet of the brash black-haired young man, who was also bragging, silent for a while, staring at the bragging pair and said, "You guys. "

At this time, Lu Twelve had sat down firmly on the car heading to the temporary rescue station.

……

About three to ten minutes later, they arrived at the rescue station area assigned to their group of newly arrived Eudemons staff.

After the people in the team made an appointment to gather in the lobby at dinner time, they each took the keys and went back to their respective rooms to pack their luggage and take a rest for a while. After an hour, Lu Twelve arrived first, JAY arrived last, and the four of them The team was all present—but there was also a blond man in a T-shirt and big pants present, who followed Lu Twelve expressionlessly and acted as the goalkeeper.

"My younger brother, also called Fa Cai, known as 'Brother Cai', doesn't like to talk, don't tease him, he can bite people - he came with another team before, and now that team has finished its mission and disbanded and returned to Earth, my brother Stay and wait for me." Lu Twelve pointed to Fa Cai behind him, and said without blinking, "Fai Cai sleeps in the nest and does not participate in money-making activities."

Sabak didn't speak, obviously very happy to see the image of his "lord" other than Fat Cat.

Byron raised his eyebrows, with a look of cruelty: "Do you think I will believe it?"

"You will regret to find that it doesn't really matter whether you believe it or not." Lu Twelve stretched out his hand and slapped Byron's paw that was about to pinch Fa Cai's shoulder muscles, "Don't touch randomly, you will bite if you tell me."

The team temporarily became five people, led by Lu Twelve. First, they figured out where they could get the free nutrition powder, and then they asked people where the supplies were exchanged and purchased... Dang Jia The hour hand of Ma star A pointed at eight o'clock at night when the earth should be equivalent to city G. They used the last remaining gold coin on their bodies to exchange for three things——

Item [-]: [-] silver coins for a large pack of [-] low-quality ham sausages—Lu Twelve counted them, probably because Fa Cai was standing by the side during the transaction, and the female shopkeeper stuffed three more sausages into her pocket as a gift. Comes with a bonus.

Item [-]: Fifty silver coins in exchange for a whole big bag of rough and low-grade minerals - rough and low-grade minerals are the cheapest options provided by Lu Twelve and the people at the material station for "some sustainable burning materials" the one.

Item [-]: A huge oil barrel as a bonus - the oil barrel was picked up by Lu Twelve at the door of the material station when they went out with the sack of low-grade minerals.

When a group of people brought these two things that were not only heavy but also very weak in nature back to the rescue station, some Phantom Beast workers who had completed their tasks that day had already returned one after another. Without looking sideways, it seems that he can’t understand why this group of people are not buying equipment and doing tasks. Under such strange eyes, JAY almost forgot his sadness when he looked at a sack of rough minerals. With a sad tone, he choked out a sentence: "Why do I feel that we are getting farther and farther away from thirty gold coins?"

"..." Sabak glanced at him, "You actually said it."

Byron shook his head: "I thought you could hold it back."

"Shut up." Lu Twelve calmly turned to the blond man who followed him silently behind him, then lifted the oil barrel next to him and said, "Brother Cai, go and turn this barrel over and rinse it. Swipe—"

When Fa Cai heard this, he frowned slightly, and seemed to take his hands out of his pants pockets with some reluctance, but before he could move, Sabak had already stepped forward and picked up the big oil barrel with one hand: "I'll .”

A relieved expression immediately appeared on Fa Cai's face, Lu Twelve glanced at him, and casually said to Sabak: "Let him do some work, don't spoil him."

"..." Sabak, who was carrying a big oil barrel, turned his head and glanced at Lu Twelve with eyes that looked at the wonders of the universe.

In the end, it was Sabak who worked tirelessly to clean the bottom of the big oil barrel. I have to say that he seemed to have special skills in this area. The colorful oil barrel was cleaned by him and could be used as a mirror—and as a mirror. The person who was assigned to this task at first watched the whole process calmly with his arms around Lu Shishir's waist and his chin on his shoulders. The worst part was that when Shabak closed the water pipe and announced When he finished washing, he actually stretched out his hand and clapped his hands twice.

Lu Twelve patted his paws that were raised in front of him: "Brother Cai, sometimes you owe a lot, don't you know?"

In reply, "brother" stretched his neck lazily, and kissed "brother" on the cheek.

In the end, under the strong request of Lu Twelve, Fa Cai condescended to slip the bucket that Shabak had painted and slipped back to their room - Lu Twelve originally planned to put the big bucket under the window of the room to blow it. It was air-dried overnight and used again tomorrow, but I didn't expect that just after entering the house, I turned around and found that one or two of his team members followed him silently and uninvited.

Byron glanced at Fa Cai who sat down on the bed, showing a mean expression: "Where's the fat cat?"

"Going out for a walk." Lu Twelve said without frowning, "Who do you think opened the window?"

Realizing that he had been blamed, Fa Cai immediately turned his head to look at Lu Twelve: I didn't drive it.

Lu Twelve pretended that he didn't see the dissatisfied eyes of his Eudemons, turned his head, and looked at his teammates: "What are you doing?"

"Wait for you to do magic." JAY sat down on the edge of the table with his face in his hands, reached out and slapped the big bag of rough and low-grade minerals and the broken oil barrel, "Turn this broken thing into thirty pieces for me. Gold coins, looking forward to it."

Lu Twelve wiped his face: "...can I show you tomorrow morning?"

JAY shook his head: "No."

Lu Twelve was helpless, turned his head and looked around the room, and found an induction cooker and a frying pan in the corner—probably the infrastructure of each room, after all, the people who came to this rescue station were basically blue. Phantom beast workers above the color level, the Phantom beast workers who have reached this level must have reached the standard in terms of social contribution value that can be exchanged for edible meat. These cooking tools are probably for them to be self-sufficient after receiving the meat self-sufficient use.

Lu Twelve took out these two things, rinsed them, and then muttered "wait" to a group of eager friends, and then turned around and walked out - about 5 minutes later, when he returned to the When I was in the room, I still held a small bottle of oil, two packets of nutrition powder, and basic condiments such as salt.

JAY looked at so many things in his hands, thought for a while and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I suddenly have a little confidence in you."

Lu Twelve: "Only now are you confident? What about before?"

JAY: "Almost going to report my teammate to the police uncle as a liar."

Lu Twelve: "..."

Lu Twelve cast a sideways glance at his teammate, stooped down and grabbed a raw egg tree fruit from the bag by the corner, smashed it, put the liquid inside into a bowl, beat it up, added salt, and put it in "Dangdang" Amidst the pleasant clashing sound of forks and metal bowls, everyone in the room focused their attention on the gradually pale yellow liquid in Lu Twelve's hands.

But when they were watching happily, the black-haired young man suddenly stopped stirring, put the bowl aside, and then started to knead the dough with skillful techniques—during which Byron leaned over and aimed at the golden bowl. The solution sniffed his nose, then was snatched away by Sabak before he could do anything unexpected.

At this time, what Lu Twelve was doing was still the magical combination of nutrition powder and water - he didn't bring goat milk powder, so it was inevitable that the things he made had a little taste of nutrition powder, but this kind of environment is not good There are so many things to pay attention to, and other main ingredients must be put in the end. Unlike desserts such as bread and biscuits that use "noodles" as the main ingredient, salty things have slightly lower requirements for noodles.

...hope so.

After Lu Twelve finished mixing the dough, he rolled the whole dough into a rectangle and brushed oil layer by layer. He seemed to remember something and turned around and asked the person behind him who was staring at him eagerly: "Know what I'm going to do?" Is it?"

Byron and Shabak shook their heads obediently, Fa Cai just stared at him with shining golden pupils.

"I don't know, just tell me," JAY stretched his neck expectantly, "or report you."

"..." Lu Twelfth said speechlessly, "Close the door, thank you, don't allow anyone to see that we use egg tree fruit, it's a top secret."

This time, Jay didn't need to do anything, Fa Cai took the initiative to go over and check the door lock, and then walked back to Lu Twelve's side again.

At this time, Lu Twelve was patiently rolling up the oiled rectangular noodle cake, rolling it into a cylinder, standing it up, flattening it, and rolling the dough into a lump again. Roll out into a round cake shape.

JAY came over: "Why do you have to roll it up, roll it up and flatten it? Can it be eaten?"

Lu Twelve: "The pots haven't even been used yet, what do you think? I worked so hard to make them look cute?"

JAY curled his lips: "Anyway, I look like I can eat it."

Lu Twelve: "..."

Put the frying pan on the induction cooker, and pour the oil. When he thought that the oil was almost hot, Lu Twelve put the rolled round dough cake into the frying pan under the expectant eyes of everyone in the room—cake Immediately after the pot was put into the pot, there was a cheerful sound of "Zi La Zi La". At the same time, it was miraculous that when there was a faint panic on the edge of the lower side, the white layer on the top that had not touched the hot oil On one side, small bulges appeared one by one.

Lu Twelve quickly used a fork to poke open a certain bulge that was slightly on the downward side, and the pancake immediately opened a small mouth like an open purse. He picked up the pierced dough with the fork in one hand, and With one hand, he quickly poured the broken golden egg tree fruit liquid that was prepared to be put aside before through the small hole that was poked open, and the golden liquid immediately filled the entire central part of the dough cake, Lu Twelve After waiting for a while, until the liquid solidified a little and no longer flowed around, then he flipped the pancake over neatly.

At this point, the side that first came into contact with the hot oil has turned golden brown and exudes the burnt aroma of pasta.

When the smell mixed with the smell of eggs and the smell of bread slowly wafted out of the pot, no one in the room spoke for a while.

Lu Twelve grabbed another low-quality ham, split it in half from the middle, threw it into the frying pan, and fried the ham sausage with the excess oil from the edge of the pan——

When the ham sausage is fried, the noodle itself is also fried. The whole noodle is golden yellow, and some places that are unevenly heated become a bit burnt deep golden. Fried egg tree fruit...

Lu Twelve put the smoky hot noodles on a plate, and carefully brushed a layer of seasoned soybean paste. Since there was no lettuce and other vegetables for seasoning, he cut some ripe egg tree fruits and threw them on the noodles , then put the fried ham sausages that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and roll them up with the dough cake filled with the egg tree fruit liquid——

Lu Twelve took a bite first, crunching.

The time for the cake to rise was not enough, and the surface of the whole cake was a bit wet-but fortunately, because of the special public oil used, the surface of the cake was actually crispy, and the meringue melted in the mouth, with a thick The egg is fragrant, and after chewing two more bites, you can taste the smoothness and tenderness of the fried ham. The mature egg tree fruit, as the only plant, plays a role in removing the greasy cake and ham...

Overall, it was relatively successful.

Lu Twelve cut the remaining cakes on the plate into four, and distributed them to JAY, Sabak, and Fa Cai respectively. Everyone was a little pitiful, and Fa Cai took it first. Lu Twelve snatched the cut piece from the bitten end and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it quickly, then swallowed, and finally showed a satisfied expression, stretched his head, and touched the tip of Lu Twelve's nose with the tip of his nose .

This is one of the characteristic behaviors of a feline after eating something delicious.

"Put some freshly fried fritters in it, it should taste better, but that stuff uses a lot of oil, so I won't bother with that at this late hour." Lu Twelfth stood on tiptoe and patted the head of his Eudemons with satisfaction. He turned around and looked at his teammates with different expressions at the moment, raised his eyebrows, "Don't just eat but don't make a sound, what's going on?"

"What's this thing called?" JAY looked curious, "Why did I suddenly feel that it was a serious perfunctory that you gave me fried dough sticks for breakfast?"

"This stuff is called egg-filled biscuits. Let's go out to set up a stall tomorrow morning. One gold coin."

Lu Twelve directly ignored JAY's protest about breakfast, turned around while talking, bent down to check the simple tree fruit in the bag... because it is used for sale, the material is not so strong, basically a raw fruit The fruit of the egg tree can be used to make two pancakes. The raw fruit in the bag should be enough to make [-], and the remaining ripe fruit can be used as a side dish. If there is any leftover, you can save it for yourself to eat...

After happily making a decision, at this moment, he heard JAY ask from behind: "Can it be made without a pot? What are you doing with this oil barrel or ore?"

"Oh, you don't understand this, street food is special," Lu Twelve patted his buttocks, turned around and glanced at the clean oil barrels and minerals, and then calmly said, "The dirtier The more delicious it is."
