Zhao Chen and Annie walked out of the tea restaurant, and Annie followed Zhao Chen cautiously.
Anne has no intention of escaping. Let's not talk about what will happen if she escapes. The slave collar around her neck allows the holder to find her at any time, and there is a current switch inside.
Zhao Chen didn't dare to walk too fast, because whenever he walked at a normal pace, Anne behind him would have to jog. With her panting look, Zhao Chen was really worried that she would be weak and fall to the ground.
"The price can't be any cheaper. We bought a hundred energy blocks in total, so the price can't be any cheaper!"
Zhao Chen heard a familiar voice and turned his head to look over.
I saw Shen Bing leading a female crew member to negotiate with businessmen at a weapons and ammunition sales point in a port.
What I purchased were starship energy raw materials and energy blocks.
For a few dozen star coins, Shen Bing just kept arguing with the other party for a long time.
It's hard to believe that the girl who got so frustrated negotiating with others was the cold monitor in the past.
"Miss, this energy block is priced at this price. The entire Galaxy No. 3 has this price, do you like it or not?" The businessman was annoyed and his face darkened.
Shen Bing's expression was a little complicated. She bit her red lips, and finally took out her Empire Card and paid for the energy block.
"Xiao Li, please wait here. I'm going to check out the ammunition that other starships need." Shen Bing walked towards another container.
The female crew member was left to wait for the energy block to be delivered.
"I remember you are Liu Lili from Class 9, right?"
The sudden voice behind her startled Liu Lili.
Liu Lili looked around nervously and vigilantly, and was surprised to find that the person coming was actually Zhao Chen: "Classmate Zhao Chen, why are you here?"
"I accepted the same escort mission as you." Zhao Chen explained.
"That's great! Then we can take care of each other. I'm worried about any accidents on this mission." Liu Lili said happily.
The students in the college had a bad impression of Zhao Chen before, but because Zhao Chen defeated Zhang Haoran at the end of the semester last year.
Everyone's view of this former good-for-nothing baron has been greatly changed.
Strength is always a person's best business card.
"Are you purchasing military supplies?" Zhao Chen looked at Shen Bing in the distance who was discussing prices with his boss.
"Yes." Liu Lili nodded. She noticed a timid little girl behind Zhao Chen, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Nobles all have some special hobbies.
"Why did you accept this mission?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
Liu Lili was a little hesitant, not sure whether she should say it or not.
Zhao Chen immediately took out a five-star coin and gave it to the other party: "It's rare to see a classmate here, so I'll treat it as if I'm buying you a drink."
Five star coins!
Not to mention drinks, one month's food expenses are already covered.
Liu Lili thought about it and thought it was not a big secret, so she started chatting with Zhao Chen directly.
Zhao Chen finally understood why Shen Bing appeared here.
The purpose is money!
Shen Bing's grandma relapsed from an old illness two years ago. At this moment, all her organs have died, and only her brain is still frozen. However, if no treatment is given within six months, she will definitely die.
Grandma Shen Bing's illness requires the use of the most advanced medical cabin, which costs up to 100,000 star coins!
"If it weren't for the academy's regulations, starships redeemed with academy points cannot be sold. Shen Bing would probably have sold all the starships directly!" Liu Lili sighed: "And there is no way to accumulate it in a short time for ordinary tasks.
So much expense.
Only military missions can be selected.
When they learned that Shen Bing was going on a military mission this time, half of the crew members disagreed and chose to leave.
Now on our T2 Hyena-class medium-sized star destroyer, the crew only accounts for one-half of the standard positions, and everyone has multiple jobs.
Everyone sympathizes with Shen Bing, or has been helped by Shen Bing or Shen Bing's parents, so they are willing to carry out this mission together."
"Grandma Shen Bing is seriously ill, do Shen Bing's parents not care?" Zhao Chen asked.
"Shen Bing's parents have passed away a long time ago. Both Shen Bing's parents were soldiers of the Imperial Army and died in a battle.
But that battle...for some reasons, the empire did not pay pensions.
Only Shen Bing, her sister and her elderly grandmother were left.
Shen Bing's parents often helped others when they were alive. Our family has been helped by their family, so... I came with them this time.
I am not betraying Shen Bing by taking these five-star coins... After all, it is not a big secret. You can buy many portions of synthetic food with these five-star coins.
During this period, in order to save money, Shen Bing only eats one meal a day, just to save those pitiful pennies." Liu Lili said unbearably.
It turns out that Shen Bing still has this story.
"Then why have I never heard her talk about it before?" Zhao Chen said.
Liu Lili said: "That girl Shen Bing is a very strong-willed master. She never shows her soft side to outsiders. She takes care of everything herself.
To be honest, I'm really worried that she won't be able to bear it one day."
Zhao Chen was slightly thoughtful.
"Um... I'll transport these things back to the starship first. I'd like to ask Zhao Chen to take care of me during the escort mission later." Liu Lili took advantage of the opportunity to close the relationship.
After Zhao Chen said goodbye to Liu Lili, he took a look at the class beauty who was still quarreling with businessmen over thousands of rounds of close-in defense artillery bullets.
He silently took Annie back to the T2 Queen Bee-class heavy aircraft carrier starship.
Entering such a large starship, Annie suddenly became restrained and followed Zhao Chen cautiously.
And Lilith was waiting at the cabin door early.
When Annie saw the charming woman in front of her, she lowered her head even more with inferiority. She accidentally bumped into Zhao Chen who had stopped.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean it." Annie apologized hastily, her eyes already sparkling.
"Lilith, take her to take a bath first, and then take her to the cafeteria to eat; first let her get familiar with the environment of the starship." Zhao Chen asked Lilith to place Annie.
Both are women and have similar backgrounds, so they should be able to communicate easily.
"Okay." Lilith looked at the little girl in front of her and said with a smile, "I'll take you to take a bath first and change into clean clothes."
Gu Gu Gu Gu
Anne's stomach growled again now, Anne blushed and lowered her head.
Lilith looked at Annie sympathetically, as if she saw the tribesmen who had followed her around.
"Then I'll take you to dinner first, and then we'll take a shower after dinner." Lilith suggested.
Annie nodded proactively this time because she could eat...
"I'm going to do something, I'll leave her to you." Zhao Chen handed Annie over to Lilith.
Lilith took Annie to the starship canteen.
When Annie walked into the starship canteen, she unexpectedly smelled a very fragrant smell. She had never smelled such a fragrant smell.
"What do you want to eat?" Lilith looked at Annie and asked.
"I...I can do anything..." Anne didn't dare to raise her head, let alone look at the food and menus on the dining table.
"Then let's order my favorite food." Lilith ordered two portions of fried rice and took Annie to a clean place to sit down.
When Lilith sat down, she found that Annie was sitting directly on the ground next to the chair, with her arms wrapped around her legs, huddled up, her eyes never leaving her shoes with holes in them.
Lilith felt sad and directly picked up Annie and let Annie sit on the chair.
"Annie... is dirty... and will stain... the chair..." Anne said in a panic, trying to get off the chair.
Lilith looked directly at Anne and said seriously: "Annie, remember, you can sit on a chair here! You don't have to sit on the ground anymore, and no one will hit you or bully you!
