Chapter 17 Transactions

The energy exhausted and the flashing prompt signal made this reason more credible. Chen Fang was reluctant to admit that the loss of the level was due to his inability to withstand the temptation of beauty.

When changing the energy bar, he saw Linni open the hatch door.

"Where are you going?" Chen Fang asked knowingly.

Linni's current situation is very difficult, and she is the only one left in the team. This not only means failure in the mission, but also means losing a partner who has been born and died. At this moment, there is no hesitation in her expression, but full of strength. If even she gives up, the partner will have no chance of survival, although this opportunity is already very slim.

As a woman, Linni's strength makes men ashamed and makes Chen Fang look at her with admiration, but he did something stupid.

Even a fool could guess what Linni was going to do, but Chen Fang asked inappropriately, knowingly, would be understood as mockery. After Chen Fang's rescue not long ago, she suppressed her anger and jumped out of the cabin.

"Hey, I know where the Pili Bee is!" Chen Fang realized the mistake and made timely remedies.

After a moment, Linni went back, and she still warned Chen Fang when she was still angry.

"You'd better not be fooling me."

After seven years of illness-ridden life, Chen Fang has no chance to contact women. Now, he needs to try to communicate with women. He has learned the first principle: Don’t joke with women. They don’t like to joke, especially when they are in a bad mood.

When she set off again, Linni took the lead in breaking the silence. She couldn't wait to know her partner's situation. When she learned that the Pili Bee had only broken bones, had a broken leg, and had no worries about her life, her solemn expression calmed down a little.

"It's lucky to be your partner." Chen Fang was moved and then began to laugh at himself. Didn't he hate being cared the most in the past? Why do he envy the Pili Bee now?

"Are you ridiculing me?" Linni responded coldly. Huo Niu was still missing. As the leader of the mercenary group, she could not protect her partner. She fell into deep self-blame.

Chen Fang quickly came up with the second principle. When women are in a downturn and do not want to hear compliments, what they need may be comfort. Helplessly, Chen Fang cannot pretend to be bitter and hypocritical to comfort women. Moreover, he thinks Linni does not need comfort, so he analyzed the third principle. If he doesn't know what to say to them, then don't say anything.

Chen Fang turned to control the mecha, and the cabin returned to peace.

"What do these numbers mean?" Linni noticed the weirdness of the display screen. On the left are numbers flowing like waterfalls, and on the right are images sent back from the exterior mirror. Strangely, Chen Fang hardly looked at the images and made judgments based on the numbers.

Chen Fang thought for a moment and asked seriously: "Do you know what the world looks like in the eyes of insects?"

Linni shook her head.

Chen Fang thought for a while before explaining: "The same things have different effects in the eyes of different insects. Some creatures are good at hiding themselves and are difficult to detect them with the naked eye. Thermal imaging can make them disappear."

Linni interrupted impatiently: "I think what you mean is that the same scenery is displayed on both sides of the screen. Using the digital mode on the left, you can catch insects that are good at hiding more easily."

"That's exactly what you mean, you're very smart." I have to admit that Linni may not read much, but she is not stupid.

Linni ignored the compliment and continued, "What I need to know is, what do these numbers mean? Or, how do you judge the information of these numbers?"

"I am not showing off in advance, nor do I want to insult you, but with your knowledge, it is probably difficult for me to explain clearly to you." The truth is often hurtful, and Chen Fang has no other way.

After all, it hurt others. For compensation, Chen Fang captured the dormant insects and beasts from the digital screen on the spot, and then used the electronic focus of Sauron's Eye to pull it in front of him, and the side of the image was displayed could not be seen.

The two of them jumped out of a message at the same time, the swift wolf spider, good at jumping, extremely fast and highly poisonous, and the deadly weapon is a trap woven by spider webs. The 170-point hunting merit value is enough to indicate that the Mercenary Association hates it deeply.

"Why don't you hunt it?" Linni didn't wait for Chen Fang's shooting for a long time and couldn't help asking. The swift tarantula is undoubtedly a nightmare for the melee team, and the rewards are very attractive, but for the sniper carrying the Eye of Sauron, these rewards are simply free.

"Not interested." Chen Fangyan said insincerely, then turned off the remote mode.

Linni looked at the faint energy bar, and seemed to be brewing some decision in silence.

After five hours of trekking, Chen Fang rushed back to the place where he made an appointment, but the Pili Bee was gone. The broken long-range mecha was gone, but there were still some traces on the ground, which was enough to prove that what Chen Fang said was true.

But seeing Linni's loss, Chen Fang couldn't bear to leave and said sympathetically: "I didn't fool you, Pili Bee was here before."

"Do you think I am a rude and unreasonable person?" Linni never doubted Chen Fang. What she said at the beginning was just a singular sentence. If the Pili Bee had not received assistance, it would never be possible to get rid of the Zerg's pursuit. If she had not received assistance, she would have become a midnight snack for Zerg. Chen Jian helped her and her team free of charge. What reason would she have to lie to her?

Chen Fang said truthfully: "I don't think so."

Linni continued, "Do you think I don't know whether it's right or wrong? I'm unreasonable, can't you tell you are helping?"

"I don't think so." Chen Fang Machinery replied.

"Then why do you explain?" Linni suddenly changed her mind.

It was obviously unreasonable, but Chen Fang was not a stingy person. The other party was a woman. When he encountered difficulties, why not be able to accommodate him? That's what he thought.

"Do you want me to tell you?" Without waiting for the reply, Linni continued: "You accommodate me because you disdain to see women. You are sympathizing with me. Why don't you receive compensation for helping us change the mecha? Don't you need money?"

At first, Linni thought that Chen Fang was not short of money to spend, so she didn't care. In the past few hours, she saw that Chen Fang could not afford crystal oil and saw that Chen Fang used compressed biscuits to satisfy her hunger. Although she had encountered difficulties in the economy, she refused to charge her due reward. She dragged her fragile physique, but she was stronger than a healthy person. That kind of strength made people feel distressed. An inexplicable impulse hit Linni's heart and she couldn't feel happy if she didn't vomit.

Chen Fang remained silent. Do you want him to say that his life was about to end and he had no intention of asking for anything? Chen Fang liked the feeling of being needed, but in the world of mercenaries, this idea could only attract ridicule.

After venting, Linni returned to her previous coldness.

"Don't treat me as a fool. I can't understand the digital mode, but I can understand the energy bar. Your situation is difficult and after the energy is exhausted, it will be difficult for your physical fitness to survive alone. The same is true for me. If you are alone, cooperation is the best way."

"What if I didn't think so?" Chen Fang tentatively said.

Linni said seriously: "I know what you are thinking. If you refuse, I will leave all the crystal oil I carry to you as a reward for your life-saving grace. From now on, we will not owe each other. It may be a bit far-fetched to say this. Crystal oil cannot be compared with life, but I can only give so much now, and we should not have the chance to see each other again."

Chen Fang thought for a while and said, "You are so smart, can't you tell me that as long as you have enough energy, I can do the task alone. Tell me the bottom line, aren't you afraid that I will reject you?"

Linni said with no humility and pride: "If you think I am useless except for bringing a few more cans of crystal oil, we have no need to cooperate. I am not as great as you, that is, I will not give alms to others, nor will I accept alms, I am used to trading."

Chen Fang scratched his head and analyzed, "I understand. You provide me with two choices. The first choice is crystal oil. The second choice is crystal oil and companions. No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective. It is difficult for a person to survive in this kind of ghost place. I can't think of a reason to refuse."

Linni was anxious and urged: "Since you accept it, you must abide by the rules. I don't like to talk or listen to others talking nonsense. I still have two companions to save, so be sure to hurry up."

"Isn't this about cooperation? Why do you have to abide by your rules?" Chen Fang had an ominous premonition. If the Pili Bee was present, he would probably laugh on the spot.

This statement was included in the category of nonsense by Linni, so there was no explanation. In a blink of an eye, she replaced the fishman with a new energy bar.
