Chapter 289: Chapter 287 You’re such a nice person!
‘Thump, thump, thump~’ A knock on the door sounded.
“Hi, Sally, would you like something to eat?” Luky stood outside the door, asking very politely.
“Oh, I’ll be right there.” Sally collected all the egg pods, save for Xiaoba, which she placed on the bed, and then she went to answer the door.
When Sally opened the door, Luky inevitably caught a glimpse inside the room.
The cleanliness was a bit surprising, with not even the old dirt on the floor to be seen, and the walls seemed whiter and brighter, with an extra, luxuriously comfortable large bed added.
“You’re quite handy, aren’t you? It hasn’t been long, yet you’ve managed to clean up the room so nicely, it looks even better than a hotel.”
“I’m pretty good at physical labor,” Sally said with a somewhat shy smile and opened the door wider, “Come in and take a break?”
“No, no, no, I’ve tidied up the kitchen, and it’s basically usable. I even made some soup with nutrient solution, and there is some bread and canned ham.”
“Ah? That’s quite a feast, you’re making me hungry. Just a second…” Sally turned back into the room, took out a box of fruit from her backpack, “I’ll add a dessert.”
“That’s a rare treat,” Luky said with a laugh.
Fruit is considered a luxury on any planet, often costing nearly as much as ten times the weight in meat.
“I have a sweet tooth for fruit; I picked these myself. You should try some too,” she offered.
“Thank you.”
Sally watched his face as he seemed to enjoy any kind of food thoroughly.
“What’s your relationship with Zulu?” Luky asked, tearing off a piece of toast and chewing slowly. He clearly sensed that Sally was looking through him at someone else.
After a moment of silence, Sally finally said, “He’s the father of my kid.”
Luky was taken aback, “You have a kid?”
“Yeah,” Sally nodded, still carrying one in her belly.
“How old are you exactly?”
“Actually, I lied about my age, haha~ Don’t tell anyone, okay?”
“…I won’t. But where’s your kid?”
“Hmm, I asked a friend to help look after them.” Saying that Xiaomei helped her monitor the children’s condition wasn’t wrong.
Luky understood. No wonder there was no mecha, and she applied to be a Mecha Soldier; raising children does cost a lot of Star Coins.
“Um… I don’t have much money either, just over fifty thousand Star Coins, but I can give them to you,” Luky said while activating his light computer.
What does he mean? Sally looked at him.
Is he offering to donate money to her…
Sally laughed it off, “No need, I can support them for now.”
“Them?” Luky was even more astonished.
Sally nodded, “Triplets.”
“…” Luky continued operating his light computer, “Give me your account number.”
He really is a good person!
“I really don’t need it,” Sally continued to decline.
But Luky insisted, “I’ve already sent you a red envelope; just accept it. Don’t be shy; I have no use for this money anyway.”
“But aren’t you…”
“In the competition? I just want the spot to go somewhere. Keep it.”
“You’re awfully nice. Well, if you ever need help, just say the word. Don’t let my weak appearance fool you; I’m actually not that strong either, hahaha~”
“Sure, hehe.”
Sally invited Luky to eat some fruit.
As they were eating, they heard someone outside calling, “Excuse me, is Paxter Military Academy here?”
Sally looked at Luky, “That’s our academy.”
Luky told Sally to continue eating, “I’ll go.”
Sally watched his retreating figure, which increasingly reminded her of Zulu.
[Host, Luky is a Variant Human; you can observe his beast transformation. If the genes are good, he might be a suitable partner for breeding.]
“…I never thought about having children, I still have a baby in my belly, I’m not that desperate.”
But being alone in another world, seeing a familiar face, it’s hard not to stare a little longer.
Luky brought a skinny young man into the kitchen.
Seeing food on the table, the young man immediately began to salivate.
Sally called out, “Early or not, you’re just in time to join us for a bite?”
“Then I won’t be polite.” The young man washed his hands and started eating right away.
Luky introduced the young man’s situation.
His name was Laxia, he was applying to be a Mecha Master for the Paxter Military Academy team. And as it happened, there was a spare Mecha that could be lent to Sally for use.
“Ah? This is like sending coal in snowy weather.” Sally passed a piece of toast to Laxia.
Watching him wolf down the food.
“Don’t mention it, as long as there’s food to eat every day.”
“That’s easy,” Luky took on the role of the cook, “Tomorrow we’ll buy more ingredients in town, do you fancy some roast meat?”
“I’m coming, too,” Sally raised her hand.
Laxia eagerly swallowed the food in his mouth, “I want to eat grilled beef.”
“No problem,” Luky responded with a laugh.
After dinner, the sky darkened.
Laxia suggested taking a trip to the Imperial Military District to do some scavenging.
It’s because their place was empty, lacking in everything. The Imperial Military District, on the other hand, had deep pockets, and casually giving away a few things would be enough for them to drink and eat.
And this was also the most common action of the Independent Military District. No Mecha parts, no problem, just borrow from the Imperial Military District! Injured? No problem, the Imperial Military District would help provide a Healing Pod.
The key was to have thick skin!
Sally was speechless.
Luky seemed to be aware of this situation and said nothing, but he offered to help Laxia tidy up his room, and the training ground needed cleaning too.
Otherwise, when they came back from their scavenging trip, they’d have nowhere to put the stuff.
In the end, Sally and Laxia went to borrow stuff from the Imperial Military District.
And Luky stayed behind to watch the house.
“Laxia, how old are you this year? Which academy are you from?”
“Me? 17, from Daenklov Military Academy in the Federation Military District, a freshman. Since I wasn’t selected, I joined the Independent Military District to mix in some experience, hoping to be picked by my own Federation next year.”
“If you can represent the Independent Military District and score a victory, you will definitely have a spot next year.”
“Hmm.” But is it possible?”
“Indeed,” Sally smiled, “Let’s hope the god of luck blesses us.” 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
“The god of luck showers blessings on the entire world, yet it opens an umbrella just for me!” Laxia ran his hands through his messy hair.
Sally couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Haha.”
They arrived at the Imperial Military District’s base.
Looking at the base, as bright as daylight, and the regular soldiers standing guard outside, it was like an impenetrable fortress, protecting the cadets within.
“Can’t compare,” Sally sighed.
Laxia sighed, “That’s why the Empire always comes first.”
“The Federation doesn’t make it?”
“They have a few times. It’s about a one in ten ratio compared to the Empire. The Independent Military District specializes in making up the numbers, and we can’t even opt out.”
“…Alright, it’s our turn to make up the numbers this time. But how do we get into such a well-guarded base?”
Laxia opened his light-computer’s contact list and dialed a number.
Soon, a very cheerful male voice answered, “Hey, where are you right now?”
Laxia replied with annoyance, “Right outside the gate of your school’s base with a friend. Hurry up and come welcome your lordship.”
