Ge Yuan helplessly pulled her leg away from her embrace and comforted her, "Alright, alright, aren't you saved now... By the way, your tears and snot stained a bit of my sock..."
Finally freed, Shen Qingqing reluctantly let go, sobbing as she asked, "Ge Yuan, how... how did you find me?"
“Oh, this?” Ge Yuan shook the gemstone bracelet on her wrist. “Because there’s a tracker. Otherwise, how do you think I found you?”
"The research institute's spaceship was attacked for unknown reasons, and several experimental subjects were stolen and have not yet been found..."
While examining her, Ge Yuan kept talking non-stop, completely unconcerned about being attacked from behind.
Instead, he comforted her, saying, "But it's okay, the spaceship is now under control, and no one can escape the gamma-ray scan."
"As for what happened to you, you can tell me about it later when you're ready."
Ge Yuan gave her enough space to get rid of her inner demons on her own.
“This occasionally happens to the test subjects, but it cannot be interfered with by external forces; it can only be alleviated through hypnosis… Qingqing, do you need me to hypnotize you…”
"No need, I'm fine," Shen Qingqing declined Ge Yuan's offer. "Except for often not having enough to eat, everything is fine."
"No food?!" Ge Yuan exclaimed in disbelief. "I've never heard of tying up hostages and not giving them food. Do you have a grudge against him?"
Shen Qingqing, who lied and refused to admit it, said stubbornly, "No, I have no grudge against him, and we've never even met before."
“That shouldn’t be the case,” Ge Yuan pondered which races in the universe might suffer from mental illness, but unfortunately, there was no record of any advanced intelligent life in the universe suffering from such illness.
Apart from Earthlings.
That is an ancient and magical race, and regardless of their ethnicity, they all give the middle finger to express their dissatisfaction.
No language or rehearsal is needed; as long as they raise their middle finger, they will undoubtedly use all their skills to attack each other.
Includes, but is not limited to:
The attack range extends to the target's relatives, with the mother as the center and eighteen generations in circumference. All beings within this circle are within the attack range. The attack is indiscriminate, including all living beings, pets, and all creatures, whether alive or dead, and regardless of whether they can move or not.
In short, that race, whose very essence is a blend of magical realism and romanticism, is known throughout the universe as a force to be reckoned with.
However, the solar system is too far away from here. By the time they sent people to further investigate Earth's culture and customs, Earth had already dimmed.
Finally, that ancient race lived out the rest of their lives on the planet they loved.
“Ahem, based on the pheromones remaining on your body, we found that the other party is a Zerg,” Ge Yuan said. “However, it is still a bit difficult to determine the other party’s identity based on that pheromone scent. I will be able to give an answer after further investigation.”
Shen Qingqing accepted the apple from Ge Yuan and thanked him. "Ge Yuan, why do you always give me apples?"
"Actually, apples are the most boring fruit in the universe, and they have an extremely low profile, and even their taste is just average."
“To supplement vitamins,” Ge Yuan said, picking up an apple and examining it. “The Zerg are also a race that needs to supplement with various high-quality proteins, vitamins, and dietary fiber.”
"Although the Zerg can go for months without food, it doesn't mean they can escape the category of carbon-based life. However, in order to save time, the military usually purchases nutrient solutions to maintain their physical strength."
Shen Qingqing steadily caught the blue syringe that was thrown to her. It had a few English letters on it that read "ONE-MIN".
"This is the first-generation primary nutrient solution, which can only be considered an appetizer for Zerg soldiers who consume a lot of energy."
Then he handed over a green syringe labeled TWO-MAX, saying, "This is a second-generation high-energy-consuming nutrient solution. One syringe is enough to support the energy consumption of an adult male insect for a week."
"Then are there third and fourth generations?" Looking at the familiar English at the beginning, Shen Qingqing understood that the energy content of the nutrient solution was probably expressed in terms of generations.
"You got half right."
Ge Yuan smiled and turned to take out another reagent from the frozen safe, which was completely different from the previous two.
"There are only three generations of injections. If you're referring to the types of nutrient solutions, the reagents currently available on the market are probably... well, over a thousand generations."
Half a vial of red liquid sloshed inside a transparent glass test tube, appearing eerie and sinister under the light.
"This is the TH-MAX-R reagent specially supplied to the military, also known as Alpha."
Through the red liquid, Ge Yuan's light pink eyes seemed to reflect a bloodthirsty light. "Anyone who injects Alpha can unleash all of their body's potential in the shortest amount of time, with a potential development rate of up to 100%!"
"And this is the super energy source that enabled the Zerg army to seize the entire star system of Planet Nicholas in less than two days during the interstellar war!!"
"What a magnificent invention that such a vast galaxy can be captured in less than two days!"
Ge Yuan was so engrossed in her own world that she dreamed of deciphering the composition of the Alpha reagent, but each time she was just one step away!
“Sigh…” This time, Ge Yuan did not hand the Alpha to Shen Qingqing, but carefully put it back in the safe.
"Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I can't find out what the final ingredients of the medicine are. It's a pity that such a precious medicine cannot be replicated. The half you see now is one of the few remaining in the research institute's inventory."
Seeing that she had finished eating the apple, Ge Yuan asked her if she wanted another one.
Shen Qingqing refused, "I've already eaten a lot, I can't eat anymore."
"How about a strawberry? This one isn't synthetic."
"Okay, I want the biggest and reddest one!"
Due to the damage to the spaceship's electrical system, an emergency landing was necessary for repairs. As the main combat force of the research institute, Ge Yuan naturally could not be absent.
Having experienced many changes in the past two days, Shen Qingqing has come to realize that in order to survive in this world, the first thing she needs to do is to find a powerful backer.
Currently, the only people she knows on the spaceship are Ge Yuan and Earl Selit.
But the thought of being sucked blood by Serit made him cover his neck and run away.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened these past few days, except...
Compared to Ge Yuan, she was shorter and not very strong. She could only help Ge Yuan organize some materials or read some literature, and she was also frequently asked questions.
While other test subjects were being reassured, she was reading literature; while other researchers were busy repairing circuits, she was still reading…
Only when he could practically recite the spaceship's operating principles and basic operating guidelines was he allowed to enter the main control room with Ge Yuan.
"Watch closely, I'll only teach you once..."
His slender fingers tapped a few times on the control panel, then deftly brought up the control panel to determine the destination. He then selected the buttons that flashed seven times and those that flashed three times from among hundreds of virtual buttons and pressed them…
The entire process was so smooth, elegant, beautiful, and dazzling.
If she hadn't memorized the operating instructions beforehand, she'd probably be crying in despair now, realizing how little she knew when she needed it.
"Remember?"
"Uh... probably, maybe, more or less... got it?"
Shen Qingqing wasn't sure either. She had just been captivated by Ge Yuan's skillful and elegant technique, which was like playing the piano, and her mind was completely elsewhere.
By the time she tried to do it with the same dedication she had when memorizing texts in high school, the other person had already finished.
"Then let's watch it one more time, the last time!"
