The stall was the same as before, with scattered things piled up randomly, and it is estimated that even the stall owner himself may not necessarily know where and what objects are piled up.

Commodities are also common commodities.There is nothing strange at first glance.

It is the kind of stall owner that is very common in the underground people's market.

Is it because I am suspicious?

Ruan Shiqing squatted down, rummaged through the stalls casually, and said as if chatting: "One of the rock crystals you sold to me last time was fake."

? ? ? ?

The stall owner stared at him: "I never sell fake goods, you don't want to blackmail me, do you?"

He subconsciously hugged the purse in his arms tightly, and said, "I don't have any money to blackmail you!"

Ruan Shiqing put away the temptation and raised his eyebrows and said, "There was a dragon egg mixed in the three rock crystals, and a dragon cub hatched out of it."

Stall owner:! ! ! ! ! !

"The dragon cub you raised was hatched from the rock crystal I sold you?" His ending sound gradually became higher, and he looked like he was about to faint.

"Otherwise, where do you think it came from?" Ruan Shiqing raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Then you have to make up the price difference to me." The stall owner grabbed his arm, as if mourning: "I'm a blood loss!!!"

"It's all sold, so there's no reason to make up for it afterwards." Ruan Shiqing refused to admit it, and picked out a few small things and put them aside: "Where did you get your rock crystal?"

The stall owner's expression was distorted: "How do I know this? I also collected it from other places. This kind of rock crystal is usually produced on Luso and nearby planets."

"You have scoured so many things, why don't you sell them on other planets?" Ruan Shiqing asked casually, "Can't you sell them on B3024?"

"How do you know that I didn't go to other planets to sell it?" The stall owner smiled wickedly, and fiddled with the bits and pieces on the stall: "What do you think these are? They are leftovers from other planets. goods, otherwise why would I give you such a cheap price."

The other party's answer was flawless, and the reasons were very good.

Ruan Shiqing tried again and again to no avail, so he could only accept his thoughts, pointed to the small items that were picked out separately, and said, "How much are these? I won't bargain with you today."

"You still want to bargain after taking such a big advantage of me?" The stall owner muttered angrily, "One thousand star coins."

Ruan Shiqing paid the bill readily, and waited for him to pack the things for himself.

"You are doing well now, are you rich?" the stall owner asked curiously while loading things.

"It's okay." Ruan Shiqing joked, "But I won't make up the price difference for you."

The stall owner shook his head, and said mysteriously: "I was considered stupid before, but this time there is a real treasure, do you want to see it?"

Ruan Shiqing's heart skipped a beat, and he looked him up again: "Let me see."

The stall owner didn't take out the treasure immediately, but carefully looked left and right, pulled the cloak to block the sight of the surroundings, and then took out a small dusty bag from his close-fitting clothes.

He carefully unwrapped the string of the bag, turned the mouth of the bag to Ruan Shiqing, and said in a low voice, "I'll just take a look at it for you to inspect the goods. This thing can't be eye-catching."

Ruan Shiqing looked over and found that it turned out to be a small bag of gems.

Different shapes, different sizes, and colorful colors.

If it is true, it is estimated to be worth a lot.

What he took out was a bit beyond Ruan Shiqing's expectations, but although the gems were precious, they were not special.

At first he wanted to refuse, but Ruan Shiqing suddenly remembered what Little Dragon Cub said before: When he was in the egg, his father said that he would eat all the gems in the house.Later, when he searched for information about the Dragon Clan on the holographic website, he also said that the Dragon Clan likes shiny gems.

At that time, he was poor and white, so naturally he couldn't buy such an expensive gemstone for the little dragon cub.

But now he is not short of money.

"How many star coins is this bag?"

The stall owner frowned and hesitated for a while, then said, "One hundred thousand... right?"

He looked at Ruan Shiqing tentatively, probably waiting for him to bargain.

But Ruan Shiqing's attention is not on the price now, he asked: "Is this kind of gem dragon cubs edible?"

? ? ? ?

The stall owner stared at him with a look of "Do you have some kind of disease? No one feeds gems to cubs", "Cubs can't eat any kind of gems, right?"

He has heard of dragons that rain gems, and dragons that make beds with gems, but he has never heard of dragons that eat gems.

"Won't it break your teeth?" He asked cautiously.

Ruan Shiqing: ...

Only then did he know that the dragon cubs don't eat gems.

Inexplicably relieved, Ruan Shiqing transferred the star coin to him: "Then I will take it."

Ruan Shiqing's straightforwardness and generosity today surprised the stall owner, and he almost couldn't bear to let go of his hand: "Let's leave a communication method, next time I have something good, I will definitely keep it for you!"

Ruan Shiqing thought for a while, and added a communication method with him before leaving.

After shopping around the market, Ruan Shiqing returned home with a bag of gems.

There are a lot of gems in a bag, so Ruan Shiqing deliberately found a delicate small box, and poured the scrubbed and disinfected gems into it.

Gemstones of various shapes are piled up in the box, shining brightly.

Such a beautiful gem, maybe other cubs will also like it.

Ruan Shiqing thought for a while, then simply put down the work he was about to start, picked up the draft paper, and drew a rough sketch.

The draft paper was quickly filled with trinkets of various shapes.

Ruan Shiqing picked out the ones he was most satisfied with, searched for tools and materials, and started crafting.

The little mermaid's necklace is a sapphire necklace, the little fox's is a ruby ​​barrette, and the snowball's earrings are black gemstones.

As for the exquisite little robot 09, you will get a bow tie inlaid with jewels.

Ruan Shiqing's hand speed is very fast. When he is tired from work and study every day and needs to relax, he starts to do handwork. It takes almost three days of free time, and the gifts are ready.

He deliberately picked a time when the cub came home from school, and took out the gift.

The cubs were caught off guard when they received the gift, and surrounded Ruan Shiqing like a flock of happy birds, and they lined up consciously.

Ruan Shiqing took out presents and put them on the cubs one by one.

The little fox didn't like to tie her hair up, so Ruan Shiqing used a gem barrette to pin her bangs behind her ears;

The little mermaid's necklace is complicated and gorgeous, and Ruan Shiqing carefully adjusted the length for him, just covering the scar on his neck.

The golden tassels on the necklace sway slightly, and the blue gemstones dotted at the end refract the shimmer, delicate and gorgeous;

"It's your turn." Ruan Shiqing took out the black satin bow tie and walked towards 09.

The little golden robot stood there at a loss, the little red dot on the screen kept flashing, pleasantly surprised and surprised: "Do I have it too?"

Ruan Shiqing put on the bow tie for him, adjusted the angle, and said with a light smile, "Of course. The bow tie matches you very well."

The only ones who didn't get the presents were Xiaolong Zai and Rong Heng.

"Where's mine?" Xiaolong cub was circling around Ruan Shiqing's feet anxiously.

Rong Heng at the side glanced at him and snorted.

No prospects.

"Your ones are at the end." Ruan Shiqing picked up the black earrings and hugged Snowball lying on the side.

He gently pushed back the fluff on the cub's right ear, and he found a pierced ear on the edge of the ear tip. He smiled lightly and said, "Does your family have a tradition of piercing ears?"

He had noticed earlier that there was an inconspicuous hole next to Xueqiu's ear. At that time, he didn't pay attention to it, and didn't think about it until he met Mr. Rong.

On Mr. Rong's right ear is a small black stud earring, which is very inconspicuous, and you might even ignore it if you don't look carefully.

— Both brothers have their ears pierced.

Probably some kind of family tradition.

Ruan Shiqing carefully inserted the black gemstone earrings through the cub's ear hole.

Unexpectedly, he was so careful, Rong Heng's eyes moved, he glanced at him from the side, and gave a soft "woo", agreeing with his words.

His ears were pierced by his mother when he was a child.

It is said that it was because he was very weak when he was just born, and his mother was worried that he would not survive, so she returned to the ancestral land and polished such a bone nail for him with the residual bone left by the ancestor, hoping that the heroic spirit of the ancestor would bless him in safety grow up.

This is the most gentle thing his mother has ever done for him in his memory.

A mother who is obviously so powerful will also pin her hopes on illusory thoughts.

After his mother passed away, he treasured the bone nail, but he still kept the habit of wearing earrings.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Shiqing would notice.

Shallow ripples appeared in his heart, Rong Heng stared at him for a moment, then rubbed his head against his palm.

Ruan Shiqing rubbed his head with a smile, then picked up the anxious little dragon cub and put it on his lap: "Okay, now it's your turn."

The golden pupils were rounded, and the little dragon cub looked at his father expectantly.

"This is for you, open it yourself." Ruan Shiqing took out the delicate box.

The small box is as big as two palms, except for the gems used for making ornaments, the remaining gems are all inside.

The little dragon cub couldn't wait to open the lid, and when he saw the piled up, shiny gems inside, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

He hugged the little box tightly in his arms happily, and the little wings kept flapping behind him, and the happy whole cub was about to fly!

"Thank you, Dad." He rubbed Ruan Shiqing's arm vigorously, jumped off his knee, and began to search for treasures all over the room.

But there was no good place for him to hide in the house. The little dragon cub sat on the ground and thought about it, and finally put the jewel box under his belly. Live in the jewel box.

The little fox looked disgusted: "You are like a miser now."

She didn't think there was anything good about these small stones, they couldn't be eaten or played with.

Hearing this, the little dragon cub turned around, pointed his ass at her, couldn't help but got up and opened the lid, and then squeezed himself into the small box.

But he was too round, and the small box was only one third of his size. The little dragon cub struggled for a long time, but he couldn't squeeze in. Instead, Nota laughed unceremoniously.

Angrily, he dumped all the gemstones on the cushion, and then lay on his stomach on the gemstones, squinting his eyes contentedly.

Ruan Shiqing was amused, it seems that he bought the right gem this time, the love of gems for the Dragon Clan is indeed natural.

The cubs were very satisfied with their presents, and they couldn't wait to show them off when they went to school the next day.

Especially the little dragon cub, since last night, he has been holding the jewel box and never letting go, and he always takes it to bed and school when he is full.

Ruan Shiqing had no choice but to let him go.

After watching the cubs enter the school, Ruan Shiqing went to the appointment with 09.

——Shen Wuzhuo held a small party this morning.

The meeting place is a tavern opened by an ancient human in the southern district.

The tavern is not high-end, but it is tidy and clean, revealing a nostalgic atmosphere everywhere, which actually shortens the distance between each other invisibly.

When Ruan Shiqing arrived, Shen Wuzhuo and the others had already arrived one step ahead. When they saw him enter the door, they all got up and greeted him enthusiastically.

As the initiator, Shen Wuzhuo introduced Ruan Shiqing, and everyone took their seats at the booth.

The owner of the tavern, Dodd, came over with a drink: "My new 'Blue Star', try it."

In the tall cocktail glass, the liquid was in shades of blue, with some golden flakes at the bottom, which looked very beautiful.

Several people raised their wine glasses and clinked a glass, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

Ruan Shiqing has a gentle personality, and the others are interested in making friends. Coupled with the identity of the same family as ancient humans, the topic quickly opened up.

As the topic spread, it was inevitable to talk about Ruan Shiqing's career.

"With Mr. Ruan's strength, have you never thought about going further? It's too insignificant to stay on B3024." The person who spoke was businessman Joel, who spent most of his time traveling between planets, and only returned to B3024 occasionally.

Ruan Shiqing shook his head: "I don't have any plans for now."

On the one hand, he is concerned about the cubs at home, and on the other hand, because he has been on planet B3024 for a long time, he gradually has a sense of belonging to this planet.Although this gray planet is barren and backward, with a chaotic legal system, it also has its unique features.

He was originally just an outsider, but compared to other planets, B3024 gave him a greater sense of belonging.

The others were surprised when they heard the words. They all desperately wanted to leave here and take root on the prosperous big planet, but they never thought that Ruan Shiqing would stay on this barren planet willingly.

"Then Mr. Ruan must be a nostalgic person." Joel said with a smile: "Actually, I returned to star B3024 this time because of Mr. Ruan. I originally wanted to invite you to join the 'Black Crow' business alliance. With your ability, It will definitely lead us to open up the market and compete with the four oligarchs."

"Black Crow Business Alliance?"

"It is a business alliance established by some small technology companies who are unwilling to rely on the four oligarchs. The members of the alliance support each other to deal with the suppression of the four oligarchs." Joel helplessly spread his hands: "As you know, technology and energy are now under the control of the four oligarchs." Monopolized by the big oligarchy, if we retail investors want to survive, we can only hold together to keep warm.”

Ruan Shiqing has heard a little about the four major consortiums of the Galaxy Empire. The big capitalists monopolize the market with absolute advantages, and they will inevitably suppress the rising rookies and squeeze the living space of these small companies.

This is also the reason why the gap between rich and poor is so large among the planets of the Galactic Empire.

Just like the B3024 star, the metal waste of the capital star is continuously transported by the transport ship of the Schwarzschild transportation company, and then transformed by the energy center invested by Planck Energy to generate new energy and supply the needs of the surrounding prosperous planets.

But all of this is in the hands of the three giants, the government, Schwarzschild Transport, and Planck Energy, and the interests belong to them, while the ordinary poor living on this planet get only the constant noise and constant crowding around the clock. Metal trash that weighs down the living space.

When the giants get huge benefits from the converted energy, the poor living in the metal garbage dump can only rely on selling garbage to make a living.

Ruan Shiqing was too aware of the darkness, but it was also because of his clarity that he became more and more aware of his own insignificance and powerlessness.

This long-standing evil has existed for a long time, and it cannot be changed by him alone.

He shook his head and said helplessly, "You overestimate me, I'm just an ordinary mechanic, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Although he was rejected, Joel was not discouraged. He sighed, "It's because you underestimated your own value."

But Ruan Shiqing didn't mean it, he didn't force it any more, instead he took the initiative to change the topic: "Even if I don't join the 'Black Crow', I still have a business I want to talk to you about. The requirements are relatively high, I am afraid that you are the only mechanic I know who can complete it, I wonder if you are interested?"

Naturally, Ruan Shiqing would not refuse a serious modification business.After the two briefly communicated about the specific content, Ruan Shiqing agreed.

He agreed readily, and Joel paid the deposit readily, and promised to deliver the shuttle within three days.

The party came to a successful conclusion here, and after drinking a few more glasses of wine, seeing that it was almost time for the cub to leave school, Ruan Shiqing bid farewell and went to pick up the cub at school.

In today's school, many cubs have painted the "hero's badge" on their faces, some with only a short imprint, and some with oil paint all over their faces.

On the contrary, the little mermaid stands out from the crowd even more.

Looking at the cubs who painted himself in strange shapes, Ruan Shiqing couldn't hold back his smile until he was so hung up, and picked up the little dragon cub that was stuck to his feet.

"Why does it seem to be heavy?" Ruan Shiqing felt that something was wrong as soon as the little dragon cub got his hands on it.

It was only a short day, and the little dragon cub seemed to have sunk a lot.

At first, Ruan Shiqing thought he had made a mistake, so he asked 09 to hug him, and 09 also said that it was indeed heavy.

"Is it starting to grow?" Ruan Shiqing hugged the little dragon cub and looked it over carefully, muttering to himself, "It seems to be getting bigger."

"Really?" Little Dragon Cub himself was ignorant, and was very pleasantly surprised after hearing Ruan Shiqing's words: "No wonder the flames spewed out today have become bigger!"

As he said that, the little dragon cub spit out a small flame and showed it to Ruan Shiqing.

It is indeed bigger than before.

"Heli is getting stronger and stronger." Ruan Shiqing praised him, and he hugged Xueqiu in his arms, holding the little fox in human form with the other hand, and they went home together.

The little dragon cub, who was surprised that he had begun to grow, was very excited. As soon as he got home, he yelled at Xiong Yuanyuan to help him weigh him.

"What's the big deal? It just reached my knees before, but now it's a little higher than my knees." The little fox stood beside him, gesticulating with his hands, and was much taller than him.

! ! ! ! !

Nota is so nasty! ! ! ! !

After glaring at her, the little dragon cub ran away angrily, making loud noises with its little claws on the ground.

The little fox was puzzled, and asked the little mermaid next to him, "Why is he suddenly angry?"

"..." The little mermaid was speechless and could only turn her face away.

The shuttle that Joel promised was delivered the next day.

It is a T5-a "Haiyan" shuttle manufactured by Quark Dockyard. The length is close to 20 meters. The hull and protective shield have been specially strengthened. Because of its high safety and stability, it is very popular in the civilian market.

Some transport ships use this type of shuttle for ship-to-ship cargo transportation, and some individuals use it as a means of transportation, which has a wide range of functions and uses.

And the shuttle that Joel sent was obviously a private means of transportation.

According to Joel, the identity of the customer for this order is quite special, and he has high requirements for the concealment and protection of the shuttle.The modification is mainly aimed at these two aspects.

To improve the concealment and protection, it is nothing more than working hard on deflector shields and cloaking devices. Ruan Shiqing has only worked hard on these two things a while ago, and he has quite a lot of experience, so he happened to use this shuttle to practice.

The only pressing issue was time. The other party paid a large amount of star coins to hurry up and asked to complete the modification within half a month.

Ruan Shiqing spent five days repeatedly revising the drawings. After finally confirming the modified part with the customer, he began to purchase materials and start the modification work.

The modification of the shuttle is much more complicated than that of a small pod racing car. Even with the Xiong brothers on the sidelines to handle some basic work, Ruan Shiqing still spends most of his time on it every day, even sending off the cubs. No more.

Fortunately, the cubs were very sensible, knowing that Ruan Shiqing was busy with work, they didn't cling to him during this time, and they were picked up by 09 obediently.

When Ruan Shiqing finally completed the modification of the main part of the shuttle and could rest and breathe a sigh of relief, he realized that the little dragon cub had grown up again in just half a month.

The previous little dragon cub was only up to Nota's knee height, but now the little dragon cub has reached Nota's crotch.

Little Dragon Cub himself didn't think there was any problem, but was secretly happy that he was about to catch up with his sister.

Ruan Shiqing had been busy with work before, and he didn't have time to show off. Seeing that his father was finally free, he couldn't help but shriek.

As before, he threw himself into Ruan Shiqing's arms like a small cannonball, wanting his father to hug him, but because it was too heavy, Ruan Shiqing staggered.

Taking two steps back to barely catch the overweight little dragon cub, Ruan Shiqing looked worried: "Why did it grow so fast all of a sudden?"

Since the shell was broken, the little dragon cub has not grown much, why is it suddenly like taking hormones now?

Ruan Shiqing thought about it and felt that something was wrong, but the little dragon cub seemed to be in good spirits, and he couldn't find any problems. He searched on the holographic website, but found no similar examples, so he could only temporarily suppress his worries.

On the contrary, Rong Heng looked at the little dragon cub who didn't notice, and frowned unobtrusively.
