Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 156 Getting along (2)

Everyone on the ship gathered to watch the "corpse" wrapped in the bubble, but no matter how hard they tried, they failed to break the bubble. It couldn't be cut by a knife, pierced by a needle, and even a laser couldn't penetrate it.

The captain left the operation room for the first time and studied this strange bubble with the crew. From dawn to dusk, until the spaceship flew away from the Huanglan star field, the bubble could no longer hold and burst.

It was precisely because this "corpse" revealed something strange that the crew members did not simply dig out the useful money and then sell the body at a low price, but instead directly issued a notice for the auction of the body and sold it for a good price.

Ge Xiu, who rushed over after seeing the announcement, actually felt a faint heat and heartbeat on the "corpse". Then he looked at the gunshot wound on the heart of the "corpse" and the miserable state of the body being shriveled after radiation. He felt as excited as if he had discovered a new continent, and generously paid all the living expenses that Gro had just sent to him a few days ago.

However, he did not achieve any research results later.

After hearing the news brought back by Ge Xiu, Ning Hua became more certain of his guess. There must be spiritual power in that star field. Under the great stimulation of his near death, the God's instinct summoned a barrier to wrap up his body before the radiation shot through him. The spiritual power even helped him repair some of the gunshot wounds. Otherwise, if it was hit right in the center of his heart, the blood loss alone would be enough to kill him many times.

After finding out that the name of the star field was Huanglan Star Field, Ge Xiu and Ning Hua discussed saving money to rent a spaceship.

Ge Xiu has no formal job, and his medical research has no support from the government or any large consortium. His main source of income is from taking private jobs, extracting life elements from pigs and chickens and selling them every day. If he cannot get private jobs to earn a living for a long time, he will have to rely on Professor Gro for support.

This time, buying Ning Hua's "corpse" used up all of Ge Xiu's three months' living expenses. The money was spent, but there was no research result, and Ge Xiu was actually very depressed.

However, Ning Hua also promised to help him and Ge Luo find an antidote, so whenever he saw Ning Hua, Ge Xiu would reveal a conflicted expression of love and hate.

Ning Hua turned a blind eye to his struggle.

That day, after Ge Xiu came back from a walk with Ning Hua, he asked her again, "You really don't have any private money? A commander's maid should have some assets, right? Which bank did you deposit it in? What's the account number and password? It would be nice if you could give me a little bit of it. I really can't stand you eating and drinking for free like this."

"How could that be? Aren't there still a lot of pork from the slaughter yesterday?"

Ge Xiu got angry when he heard the word "slaughter": "I've told you so many times, that's dissection! It's used to extract life elements, not slaughter! I'm not a butcher!"

After Ge Xiu finished yelling, he lowered his head again, got close to Ning Hua's face and said, "It's really expensive to rent a spaceship. In order to rent a spaceship, I have to take private jobs for at least five months to get enough money for the trip, not to mention that I also spent money to get a fake driving license. If you have a conscience, do more work to help me make money."

Ning Hua raised her dark, shriveled arms helplessly: "How can I help you make money in this state?"

Ge Xiu snorted with disdain: "Humph, you are indeed a waste. Ever since I rescued you, my quality of life has plummeted."

"It seems to me that your quality of life has always been like this, always in a state of poverty."

"Haha, you've learned to talk back. I find that since I took you to deliver that difficult poodle a few days ago, you're not as respectful to me as you were at the beginning..." Ge Xiu said the latter part, his tone revealing some gritted teeth.

"No, I have always respected you, but after seeing you deliver a puppy, I think you are more approachable."

Ning Hua gave Ge Xiu a dry, flattering smile.

However, Ge Xiu did not appreciate it: "Don't show your gums. Your whole face will be more distorted when you smile."
