The boss of the last days is a salted fish in the interstellar world

Chapter 228 [228]

The mechas in previous competitions were usually provided by the organizers in order to avoid cheating on instructions.

However, dueling mechas does not require instructions, so the controller needs to prepare them himself.

Xie Wei promised to give the boy a chance, but only if he had a mecha.

When he returned to his temporary shelter, he had some extra bread in his hand.

The trophies from previous competitions can be sold, usually in exchange for two or three days' living expenses.

Seeing his sudden return, Yin Shuang immediately reached out and wiped his face randomly.

"Didn't you... sign up?" she asked the boy.

I came back so early today.

Seeing the girl's previous actions, Yin Ci walked over and straightened her face, and suddenly found that there were no traces of water on her face.

"...Crying?" The boy wiped her face helplessly.

The girl turned her head away and said awkwardly: "...No."

But the little scrunched up nose still showed that she was lying.

Changing the subject: "Aci, have you finished signing up?"

she asked softly.

"...Yeah." He also lied, "The game is the day after tomorrow. I may have to go to training in these two days, so I will take these things with me."

Yin Ci handed her some bread and said, "When I finish the game the day after tomorrow, I will take you to eat something else."

Yin Shuang took the bread and suddenly paused: "You mean, you won't be back for these two days?"

"Yes, so, I'm sorry..." He rubbed her head: "Can you do it alone?"

"..."

The girl's face was a little pale, but she finally nodded: "Yes."

Shi Jin noticed something strange about her and said, "She doesn't seem to want her brother to leave."

Jiang Yan said: "Because I'm afraid of the dark."

Shi Jin glanced at the boy: "How do you know?"

Jiang Yan looked indifferent: "Well, my sister is like this sometimes."

"Really?" She raised her eyebrows slightly: "But you said before that she likes to go out at night the most. It is common to stay up at night and venture into various dark places. Why is she afraid of the dark again now? "

Jiang Yan: "..."

Jiang Yan: "...sometimes."

He suddenly emphasized those two words, but he did not deny Shi Jin's words.

"That's right, you still choose to be afraid of the dark," Shi Jin smiled: "Xiaoyuan is really interesting."

After she smiled, she looked back at the scene in front of her, but the curve of her lips weakened.

The reason why I didn't go back these two nights was not for training.

The boy needed a mecha, and he had to find a way to get one.

However, there are only two ways to obtain mechas, one is to buy one, and the other is to find one in the recycling bin.

But unless he was very lucky and came across a mecha that wasn't too damaged, and the recycler was a kind person willing to lend it to him, he wouldn't be able to get it at all.

But he seems to be unlucky.

No one would lend a mecha that could be sold to a kid for free.

"Please listen to me, sir." The boy eagerly stopped the old man at the recycling bin, showing a shy and slightly nervous smile, trying to look polite, "I'm only borrowing it for one day, and I won't let it get damaged in any way. I’ll come back after it’s over and I’ll give you 20.00% of the bonus.”

The old man smiled contemptuously, and the lion opened his mouth: "70.00%."

Yin Ci was startled, "This... is too much." "Then let's not talk about it." The old man rejected him, then got into the car without mercy, and drove away with the recovered mechas.

He also tried his luck in the specialty store, but without exception, no one liked this little competition, and no one was willing to lend their products to a children's mecha showdown held by a small family.

The boy ran into obstacles at every turn, and even felt a little desperate in the end.

I thought I would be able to see hope of escaping as long as I persisted in living, but it was too difficult.

Worrying about livelihood, racking their brains for daily food.

The Emperor Star is a prosperous planet. There are high-rise buildings and flying spaceships everywhere. Their simple clothes are incompatible with this place. There is no place for them in this huge world.

After escaping from Ouges, in order not to be discovered, he picked up an old hat and put it on his head. He would also use paint to cover his and Xiaoshuang's faces every day.

The incident with the housekeeper cast a shadow on the girl, and she began to be afraid of the dark and the dead of night.

An hour before the game started, the boy still couldn't get a mecha.

Everyone here is dressed in gorgeous clothes, but in this planet full of technology, they only have indifferent hearts.

Just when he thought that this competition was completely hopeless, a turning point came.

It was a quarrel.

The woman's voice was a little sharp, as if she was out of breath.

The boy turned his head and looked over. In a corner around the competition venue, he saw the woman wearing an aristocratic lace hat, a long black skirt, and high heels. She looked graceful and elegant.

And in front of her was a little girl with her back turned to her, about the same age as him.

"I can't! I can't start it at all!"

"You have to go today!" The woman pointed at her head, "Your sister can now fight against those ten-year-old children. You can't even drive a transport mecha. Are you still my daughter? !”

Seeing that the girl was trembling with fright, the woman probably felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she knelt down and comforted her a few words softly: "Baby, the Xie family is just a small family, and the competitions held by their family will not attract many people to participate. So I feel free to let you try. Mom doesn’t really hate your low mental strength. She just wants you to change your cowardly temper. You need to temper yourself. You can’t live under the protection of your sister forever. Immediately You are about to sleep in a separate room with her. She is very talented. I will send her to boarding training. If you don’t work hard now, the gap between you and her will only become wider and wider. Do you want to live in the shadow of your sister forever? "

However, the woman's slap and sweet date did not achieve the desired effect.

The girl shook her head: "I told you I can't! I can't start it!"

The woman's expression suddenly changed: "How will you know if you don't try?!!"

Even though she was furious, she still suppressed her voice to prevent others from noticing the situation in the corner and avoid embarrassment.

"Anyway... you have to play today," she said the last few words quickly before the host was about to ask the parents to exit the preparation stage to make room for the children to compete. Her tone was cold, word for word, "Baby."

"Don't embarrass mom anymore - okay?"

*
The parents exited the background.

A group of children were chirping, chatting with each other, or taking pictures of their mechas to show off their models.

Only the girl huddled in the corner. After the woman left, she said coldly: "...I'm so annoyed."

When these three came out, they had irritable tones, which sounded quite different from the cowardly character described by the woman.

She suddenly turned her head and met Xie Yinci's gaze.

The boy then noticed that she was wearing a child's mask to cover her face, probably because she didn't want to be recognized like the woman.

"Hey." The girl took the initiative, "You don't have a mecha, right?"

Yin Ci was stunned for a moment, but before she responded, she patted the mecha next to her and said, "Here, I'll give you mine."

He paused: "How do you..." know?
"You are the only one in the whole place who is quiet. There is not even a mecha around you. You can tell at a glance. Mine is for you. You can take it to the competition. I'm leaving." She looked like she was ready to leave directly. Backstage.

"how about you?"

"Do not bother me."

"Your mother over there..."

"It's okay," the girl shrugged nonchalantly: "My uncle will come to pick me up. If he is here, my mother won't dare to go too far with me."
