Chapter 15: It's just that absurd!
Different from Cheng JinXue's misfortunes.
The elite little squad can be said to have reaped a bountiful.
Because battleship Wyvern was unable to leave temporarily, they
started to expand the range of their patrols.
This time, the elite little squad unexpectedly found their way to
the warehouse where energy stones were originally stored.
Of course the warehouse had absolutely nothing inside it. It was
completely empty, everything already moved away.
Many useless things were scattered all over the floor. It can be
seen that back then when they evacuated from this planet, the
royal prince left in a hurry.
Naturally, there were people who took advantage of this kind of
chaos to do a little something. For example, secretly stealing and
hiding some energy stones during the rushed evacuation, so they
can take and sell them in the black market.
Other than energy stones, they also stole plenty of valuable
mecha components. They even stole and hid tools used to
excavate the quarry.
The royal prince evacuated in a hurry. Everyone also left in a
rush. After the energy radiation leaked out in large quantities,
everyone worried about becoming contaminated. How could they
have the mindset to inspect carefully.
Especially inside this base. There were plenty of miners who were
unable to buy expensive interdimensional buttons. To steal and
hide things, they could only place them in some inconspicuous
corner and wait until everyone evacuated from the warehouse to
secretly come back and take those things away.
However, because the spaceships had left in a hurry. Many
people didn't even have the chance to come back and take stuff.
Because if they came back, they might not be able to get in the
evacuating spaceships.
Therefore when the elite little squad dispersed in their search of
the warehouse, they would occasionally let out shouts of surprise.
"My god! Squad leader, there seems to be a bag of energy stones
here!"
"Energy stones? A bag?"
"That's right! Let me see how many...…. there's 12! Five of them
are high energy stones. The others are mid-range energy
stones!"
"Oh fck! High energy stones. Right now a piece of high energy
stone is in the ten millions!"
"Squad leader, I'm in the east area, C9 position of the
warehouse. There's a bag of unused energy stone here as well
and also plenty of mecha components."
"Squad leader, I'm in the west area of the warehouse...…"
Listening to all of these reports, the squad leader Zhang Feng
was completely dumbfounded. Just what was happening today?
Why's everyone all picking up energy stones!
Very quickly, the elite little squad returned to battleship Wyvern
carrying big and small bags of energy stones, as well as a variety
of other valuable items.
At this moment, the 3rd legion's maintenance team on battleship
Wyvern was completely befuddled. Several healing tanks had
stopped working all at the same time. And they couldn't even find
what's wrong!
Good thing they were on this planet and there were no battles
right now. None of the staff was injured so the healing tank was
not being used much.
When Zhang Feng's squad returned, they saw the maintenance
team all looking miserable and anxious.
Zhang Feng asked what's going on.
After listening to the maintenance team's explanation, Zheng
Feng comforted them: "It's alright. There's no one injured right
now so no rush. Just inspect them slowly."
The head of the maintenance team said: "Vice-admiral Cheng got
injured and is waiting to use the healing tank."
Zhou HongYi butt in and asked: "How did Vice-admiral Cheng get
injured?"
The head of maintenance said: " He broke his legs. Plus, I heard
that Vice-admiral Cheng was super unlucky today. Not only did he
break both of his legs after going out, he even lost his
interdimensional button when he returned. He still doesn't know
where it is right now. It's all garbage outside. After much
difficulty, he finally returned to the battleship, now the healing
tanks are all out of service...…"
"Dang! How unfortunate. That doesn’t seem right tho...…"
Zhou HongYi asked Zhang Feng quietly: "Didn't Vice-admiral
Cheng secretly worship God together with us last night?"
They picked up a lot of valuable treasures today and were eagerly
planning to ask Vice-admiral Cheng about his gains as well!
Zhang Feng immediately said: "Let's go and see Vice-admiral
Cheng."
Arriving at the medical center, they saw Doctor White getting
ready for manual surgery.
Because the healing tanks had broken for some unknown reason
and for the sake of not delaying treatment, Doctor White can only
treat using manual surgery.
When Cheng JinXue heard he needed surgery, he felt faint.
Surgery and healing tank were not the same. You only need to
have a nap in the healing tank. The injury would be pretty much
healed upon waking up. Surgery was plain torture.
Doctor White comforted him: "Don't worry, Vice-admiral Cheng. I
will give you anesthesia."
He just finished saying this when his assistant came running over
in a hurry, saying: "Doctor White, there doesn't seem to be any
anesthesia."
Doctor White's eyes widened in surprise: "Impossible. We just
resupplied everything. Why’s there none?"
The assistant said anxiously: "But I really can't find any
anesthesia. I flipped through the entire medical center, but I can't
find the anesthesia no matter what."
Wen XiaoYun personally went to the area where the anesthesia
was stored and searched around. He really couldn't find any
either.
At this moment, Wen XiaoYun really felt very deeply...
There's no limit to how unlucky a person can be. You can only be
unluckier.
In addition, this misfortune will most likely persist.
Wen XiaoYun rubbed his forehead. Zhuang Zhou's words echoing
in his head repeatedly.
God will get angry--
God will get angry--
He tried his best to push this kind of unscientific words out of his
head. His Mental World started to hurt again.
He looked towards Doctor White, voice flat: "There’s no
anesthesia. Just do the surgery like this. He can endure it."
Cheng JinXue felt his vision dim: "Doc! Are there no other
methods? My god! No anesthesia?!"
Doctor White had no other options: "In order to not delay the
treatment, I can only do surgery like this. However, without any
anesthesia, you will need to hold him down, Admiral."
At this moment, the elite little squad also entered. They asked
Cheng JinXue about the state of his injury.
"Boss, is Vice-admiral Cheng okay?"
"Vice-admiral Cheng, are you okay? How come so careless?"
Cheng JinXue's face fell: "Don't mention it. I don't know what
happened today. So unlucky. I've encountered everything
possible."
Zhang Feng was shocked: "How can this be? Didn't you also...…
do that yesterday night?"
Zhou HongYi agreed, speaking in a mysterious tone: "That's
right, Vice-admiral Cheng. We wanted to thank you! We saw you
doing that, so we also did it. When we went on patrol today, we
all picked up so many energy stones and other valuable
treasure!"
Cheng JinXue: "???"
All picked up energy stones?!
Wen XiaoYun: "What does 'that' mean?"
Zhang Feng and the others looked somewhat guilty. However,
facing the Admiral's questioning, they can't not answer; they can
only summon the courage to say: "It's just...… We saw
Vice-admiral Cheng worshipping a God and then discovering an
energy quarry immediately afterwards. So, we also...…. cough
cough cough."
Cheng JinXue said flustered and exasperatedly: "I also made an
offering! It didn’t work at all! All lies!"
Wen XiaoYun strangely thought about the youth's words again.
He asked Zhang Feng and the others: "What God did you
worship?"
Zhang Feng answered without thinking: "Must have been the God
of Wealth? We managed to pick up all of those valuable
treasures, who else can it be other than the God of Wealth?"
Wen XiaoYun fell silent for a second and expressionlessly looked
towards Cheng JinXue.
Cheng JinXue suddenly thought of something.
What did Boss say this morning again?
-- I asked. The little friend said that he had you worship the God
of Wealth, yet you insist it was the Wishing God. Why wouldn't he
be angry?
-- The little friend said, there wouldn’t be any danger. You will
only encounter nonstop misfortunes.
Cheng JinXue took in a sharp cold breath.
He experienced it.
He really fucking experienced all of it!!
If his legs weren't broken, he would have jumped out of the
sickbed right now.
"B-b-boss!!" Cheng JinXue had a face of terror: "Quick quick
quick, help me find little Zhou Zhou! Little Zhou Zhou has incense
over there! Also help me ask him how to make an offering to the
God of Wealth! Is prostrating myself on the floor in reverence
enough?!”
Wen XiaoYun: “.......”
Wen XiaoYun went.
Zhuang Zhou was currently taking 360 degree videos and
pictures of the little robot that he had made. Then he uploaded
the videos and pictures on his personal online shop and waited,
hoping it could sell.
Xiao PoLan also wanted to take some pictures.
Therefore, Zhuang Zhou also took some of Xiao PoLan.
After taking several pictures, their two little heads leaned
together to look at the pictures.
“This one is very handsome!” Zhuang Zhou praised: “Xiao PoLan
is becoming more and more handsome everyday.”
Xiao PoLan let out a “ga ga ga” laugh, extremely pleased. Oh.
This audio system was a speaker that it had picked up and
installed itself.
When Wen XiaoYun came over, he saw the person and robot
playing extremely joyfully together.
Noticing Wen XiaoYun’s arrival, Zhuang Zhou raised his head,
eyes bright and shiny: “Wen XiaoYun, you finished being busy?
Did you come back to sleep now?”
Wen XiaoYun said: “I came to find you for something.”
Zhuang Zhou stood up: “What is it?”
Wen XiaoYun said: “Cheng JinXue wants to ask you to lend him
some incense and candles.”
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhou puffed up his cheeks.
Chuckling and unable to resist poking his cheek, Wen XiaoYun
said softly: “Come visit him with me?”
Zhuang Zhou said slowly: “Alright.”
The two people very quickly returned to the medical facility.
Cheng JinXue was holding off his surgery, just waiting there.
Seeing Zhuang Zhou enter, he looked like he just saw Hope itself:
“Zhou Zhou! My beloved little Zhou Zhou, QQQ Gege is begging
you. Please lend me some incense and candles. Gege wants to
worship the God of Wealth.”
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Cheng JinXue, who was being plagued
by the cloud of misfortune. He really looked a bit too tragic.
Zhuang Zhou silently took out the incense burner and candles
and gave it to him. He also reminded: “You must be sincere.
Recognizing the wrong God again will not be permitted.”
Cheng JinXue: “I’m sincere sincere sincere! Gege will prostrate
himself on the ground on hands and knees in worship!”
Zhuang Zhou’s face flushed despite remaining very reserved:
“There’s no need to be that ceremonial……”
However, Cheng JinXue still did it.
And then the strangest thing happened.
After he finished bowing, the healing tank made a “di di di” sound
and restarted again, everything returning to normal.
The little assistant opened his eyes in shock. He wanted to go
inspect, but as soon as he took a step, he discovered that he had
stepped on something. Looking down, it was the anesthesia that
he couldn’t find no matter what just now!
Observing all of this, the little elite squad and doctor’s eyes
widened. Don’t even talk about Cheng JinXue, who was the one
experiencing all of the deep torment.
“Oh fck……”
Suddenly and unexpectedly!
Everything was normal again!
It's just that absurd!
Wen XiaoYun started getting a headache again.
His understanding of the world, which was taught since childhood,
started to crumble slightly.
There were all sorts of different civilizations in the intergalactic
era, no doubt.
But no one has ever said--
There really was God in this world.
~~~~~~~~~
The author has something to say: PS--
Cheng JinXue: Grandpa God of Wealth, from today onwards, I will
bathe in incense and revere you and only you forever!
Zhuang Zhou -internally happy, but still very reserved verbally:
“There’s no need for all that……”
