Thank you for the invitation. I am in Terra, just under the stars.

Besides, her current love for Zhou Cheng still remains at the level of body lust.

"Acheng."

"Ah."

"I want to know you better."

"It's easy to talk about, but it's a bit long. I want to think about where to start."

I took the water bag and took a sip. It seemed to be a little sweeter than before, probably because of the hormones in my body.

After all, this body was originally broken into pieces. Rather than repairing it, it was reborn, full of youthful vitality.

In a sense, there seems to be nothing wrong with Zhou Cheng being a virgin now.

He licked his lips, suppressed his youthful energy, tapped his fingers on his knees, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"I learned painting when I was a student a long time ago. Unfortunately, I failed the exam twice and my family had no money, so I lived on the streets and made a living by painting portraits of others.

"It wasn't long before the country fell into war, so I joined the army. With a little bit of luck, I made meritorious deeds. After I retired, I became a...well, a scientist."

Zhou Cheng pondered for a while when talking about his retirement destination.

Although he wanted to say he was a politician, it didn't seem appropriate.The political aspects are actually handled by his propaganda minister, and he is responsible for making disobedient people obedient and making general decisions.

Sometimes Zhou Cheng felt that it would be good to just be a thug, but Gracia always wanted to push him into the position of leader.

In her words, 'I'm just exploring your potential, Cheng, not for profit. '

So after thinking about it, he finally chose the scientist, at least barely.

"the scientist……

"I always feel that Cheng has skipped a lot of things."

After all, he was originally a painter and then joined the army. How could he suddenly become a scientist?You don’t even have basic knowledge.

Facing Shining's subtle look, Zhou Cheng just chuckled, passed over what he really wanted to omit, and explained:

"We use a spell similar to the Origin Stone technique, called psionic energy. I'm very talented in this area and I'm very suitable for research."

PS: Good morning, just got up

7. I’m just an ordinary scientist

After a simple dinner, Zhou Cheng and Shining told many stories about his laboratory.

Well, he doesn't actually have a dedicated laboratory, because the entire scientific research department of the empire belongs to him.

He talked about some interpersonal interactions, some conflicts among his subordinates, how he resolved these conflicts, and how he helped some subordinates with poor backgrounds.

Then there is the fact that he occasionally teases his subordinates and makes them do things outside of work. It is not just a good thing, it makes people feel more real.

In Zhou Cheng's words, he is a reliable leader. Overtime work is voluntary, and wages and benefits are given as much as possible.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Zhou Cheng pays great attention to these scientists, and both of them are his treasures.

If you collide with my warship, it will only be a small friction.

But if you hit my research ship, I'm sorry, the Colossus will be at your door right away.

The Shining was very satisfied;

She felt that she was very comfortable getting along with Zhou Cheng, and he was also the type who found it difficult to see negative emotions on his face.But unlike his own calmness, he smiled whenever he could, and perhaps it was easier for strangers to like him than for himself.

Zhou Cheng packed up the iron pot and spoon, stood up and asked:

"Are you sleepy now?"

"Do not."

"Well, then come with me there now."

He pointed to the ruins of the factory hidden in the shadows of the night.

Shining didn't ask anything, nodded and stood up with his sword. After extinguishing the fire, the two of them walked towards the factory.

Not far away, or rather just a few steps away, they were right next to this large pollution source.

She was still a little uneasy about this kind of place, but she was quickly suppressed by Sexin, and followed Zhou Cheng leisurely.

Since there was no light source, The Shining used his own Source Stone skills to illuminate.

Without even looking at her movements, she saw a gentle light floating around her. It was an almost tangible entity, illuminating her entire body.

Zhou Cheng silently approached the eldest girl in the center of the light, and said seriously under her silent gaze:

"My eyesight is bad. It's brighter here."

"..."

Shining's eyes were slightly lowered, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be raised a little.

She wanted to get closer, but this impulse was immediately suppressed, and she still looked calm on the surface.

She, who has always been calm, felt that she was too impatient and was not good.

Just keeping the distance between friends, the two of them walked into the factory where even the fence was gone.There is an open space at the front, and there are factories as you enter. There are cone-shaped Origin Stones that tear open the ground and extend from the cracks everywhere.

Also, there was an off-road vehicle at the door with the front half completely shattered. The surface was dusty and the glass was full of cracks. It looked like it could no longer be used.

There were also piles of things in a mess beside it, including tool boxes, large and small pieces of steel, rubber, and some parts she didn't recognize.

"I found them all in the factory. This car is in the best condition, but half of it was buried under the rubble."

As he said this, Zhou Cheng walked up and placed the tin pot with the spoon in the cleaned trunk of the off-road vehicle.

Then he pointed inside the factory:

"Go in and look for anything you can take with you. If you leave it here, no one will take it. As for the car, it won't take long for me to repair it. I can't change the source stone driver, so I need to fix the source stone." .”

In fact, it can be changed, but it will take too much time.Terra's vehicles are basically designed based on the Origin Stone. If they want to change to nuclear power, the whole body will have to be replaced. It is better to build a new one.

The white-haired girl holding the sword in her arms was thoughtful after hearing this, and then asked:

"A-Cheng, don't you know about the Origin Stone?"

"Indeed, what's wrong?"

Zhou Cheng nodded,

It's not so much that I don't understand it, it's better to say that I don't understand it at all, and I just vaguely remember a few sentences of the setting.

He felt that he had probably made some common sense mistake, which was why Shining asked this question.

Sure enough, she quickly explained:

"The source stone must be carefully processed before it can be used."

"Ah this..."

"Direct use of unprocessed Source Stone will cause an explosion."

The people of Terra use pure source stones, and the most valuable ones are also pure source stones.Ordinary source stones are available in many places, but they cannot be sold without processing, and they are also very dangerous to use.

Is the source stone mine valuable?No, it is the technology of refining pure Source Stone.

Zhou Cheng didn't know this at all.

He scratched his head, stretched out his hand and pulled a piece from the savagely growing Origin Stone bush on one side, and put it in his hand, then clenched his fingers into a fist.

Shining didn't even have time to stop him when he saw that Zhou Cheng had spread out his palm, and in his palm lay a pure Origin Stone that was fixed in form and crystal clear.

"Varied…?"

Miss Sakaz's calmness was finally broken. She was like a goose, with her mouth slightly open, looking stupidly at the pure Origin Stone with a stable structure.

The pure Origin Stone, which required multiple processes and was processed using large machinery, was actually pinched out with bare hands!

What a terrifying grip strength this is... No, it's impossible to do it with just a simple grip strength, right?Not even a single impurity!

The purity of the source stone has been greatly improved!

It is said that the Agor people are very powerful, but how big is this... Shining frowned slightly, thinking in his mind whether he could handle it.

Her Origin Stone skills can greatly increase the strength of her body. If she goes all out, she should still be able to withstand this level.

Maybe it will be nice to be unexpected.

"No need to worry about processing...eh? What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Cheng looked at the white-haired girl with a strange expression. What was she worried about?

Shining fell silent, without the calm expression on his face that remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai. There was a small but indescribable sadness on his face. After a while, he faintly said:

"...You are very strong."

"Well, are you thinking of something terrible?"

This change was so obvious on her body that Zhou Cheng, who felt something was wrong, made a joke. Then he noticed that Shining was silent again and looked away.

This little girl's cute gestures made the atmosphere pink.

Ah, don't you deny it?

Blinking his eyes, Zhou Cheng felt that he realized something.

Damn it, this woman seems to be craving for his body.

What?Me too?That's fine.

Zhou Cheng chuckled and shook his hand, a deep light floating between his fingers:

"I'm just an ordinary scientist. I don't have much strength. I mainly use my spiritual energy to shape my body."

"Is that so...I understand."

Seeing that he didn't take advantage of the flaw that was revealed half intentionally to pursue him, Shining regained his composure.

Her heart became more and more happy, and she enjoyed this hazy and tentative feeling.

...I didn’t expect that I could still experience this at my age... Cheng, you shouldn’t dislike my age, right?

Shining felt shame rise on her cheeks, and as a cover, the light released by her Origin Stone skills became brighter.

She always felt like she was eating young grass.

At this time, the pink atmosphere was about to dissipate, and Zhou Cheng decided to strike while the iron was hot.Just because you don’t push yourself too far doesn’t mean you don’t do anything.

He skipped the topic seriously and said:

"Speaking of which, the desert is very cold at night."

"so…?"

"We can sleep next to each other at night."

There is no need to make too many excuses. If you are willing, you will naturally agree. If you are unwilling, there will be no big problem.

After all, these words were quite appropriate in the atmosphere just now.

Under Zhou Cheng's gaze, Shining nodded slightly.

"OK, all right."

It was very bland, as if it was a normal proposal and I agreed.

However, Zhou Cheng could hear that the dignified girl's heartbeat was much faster than before.

With the corners of his mouth raised, he leaned closer and said:

"Your heart is beating faster."

"..."

Shining, who was holding the rapier in his arms, didn't answer. He just turned his eyes away from him, and his white cheeks were soaked with a hint of blush.

Her calmness could no longer be maintained, and her expression finally relaxed, becoming a little shy.

8. Emotional budding

Zhou Cheng's offensive made Shining feel a little ashamed, but it did not have much impact on her stable state of mind.

She exhaled softly, but revealed a gentle and helpless smile, her soft lips more beautiful than ever before.

"A Cheng thinks, why?
