Chapter 562: Chapter 170: Thanks? Compensation! (2)

"Where are the vegetable farmers? They’ve all followed along. They must really care about a few disciples."

"Care? What you don’t know is that she was just standing by while the Mother Entity beat up the disciples, almost to the point of death."

"Didn’t she save them in the end?"

"Oh, come on. That’s the Mother Entity, not some Greed. A slight lapse could be deadly, yet she just watched."

Can a normal person allow someone they care about to go through such a trial?

Su Xiaocai is clear-headed, rational to the point of coldness.

Back and forth arguments won’t solve anything.

At this point, the Sect Hierarch, annoyed by the bickering, spoke: "I have other plans for Su Xiaocai. You should first retract your forces; I will clear obstacles for you. All-Knowing forever, wait for Heaven to descend, and we will live in its glorious light."

The three Bishops stopped their argument, with smiles on their faces, as the Sect Hierarch’s promise of future dominion made them willing to work for the All-Knowing Sect.

They said in unison, "All-Knowing forever."

...

Su Xiaocai stepped over the monsters, collected several samples from various places, packed them away, and placed them into the Space Button.

Colonel Yuan: "Professor Su, I think you might need an assistant. There are too many things, too cumbersome."

Su Xiaocai didn’t find it cumbersome, but it was indeed a waste of time. "What kind of person would be suitable as my assistant?"

"You should propose that, and I might try to help you find one." said Colonel Yuan.

"First, gender doesn’t matter, but they must be pleasing to the eye. Second, they must keep up with my thinking, and have synchronized living habits—in other words, willing to stay up all night. Third, unpaid."

Yang Zhao turned his head, lips moved slightly, and heard Colonel Yuan say, "Actually, you could just say that last part directly. Nobody wants to work for free. Free is the most expensive, you should know."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao still bowed his head working on his own matters.

"That’s right! No thought of it for now."

Returning home, Su Xiaocai immediately cleaned Huahua’s paws.

At the door, she saw the leopard-print cat lying on top of Xiao Wanzi’s head, with Xiao Wanzi’s electronic eyes looking pitiful.

Xiao Wanzi was certainly also disgusted by the dirty leopard-print cat, worried it would ruin its own furry surface, unsuitable as a mat for a filthy cat.

Su Xiaocai walked lightly to the cat’s bowl. All the food was eaten, indicating another little foodie.

The fields had been aired for a few days, robots started working in the fields, planting the crops designated by Su Xiaocai.

The planet owned by Su Xiaocai was also being developed, handed over to Daddy Su for planning.

Daddy Su, owing to having raised this precious daughter, added many tasks to his otherwise leisurely life.

Su Xiaocai enjoyed a couple of days of leisurely life until the vegetable farmers finally completed their training and returned.

Upon return, they lingered at Su Xiaocai’s place, unwilling to leave, recounting their experiences with the Insect Slayers, nearly driving them insane.

The Mechanical Planet had been overrun by Insect Men. To clear the outlying Insect Men, the participants fought for over twenty hours straight.

Coming here was partly to complain, partly to decompress.

Today Su Xiaocai wanted to plant some chives. Planting them in pots, the chive roots were purchased by Ji Li, then delivered through the military.

Su Xiaocai’s Hand of Death only dared to touch the Blue Gold Healing Mushroom; everything else was left to the robots.

Just as they needed to unwind, she had them plant the chives.

This kind of small manual labor made them quite happy.

While planting chive roots, Wu Qingqing talked about their experiences on the Mechanical Planet with Su Xiaocai.

Of course, they had asked their superiors for permission to tell Su Xiaocai.

Asked if it could be mentioned, this training had nothing to hide.

On the first day at the Mechanical Planet, they didn’t immediately kill Insect Men but recovered bodies.

With the Mechanical Planet’s gravity system lost, the dead bodies scattered all around, some drifting far away, uneaten by Insect Men, requiring recovery.

The death of comrades, every single recovered elicited deep sadness.

"Many were still so young."

Battle suits broken, directly frozen into popsicles, requiring extra caution while recovering, or they would shatter into fragments.

"Leilei cried many times." Liu Xun complained, accusing Li Leilei of being tearfully annoying.

None of the others knew how to respond to that.

The oppressive atmosphere completely changed, and Li Leilei retorted, "That’s called being overwhelmed. I was fully capable as the Insect Slayer."

"Not as much as me; I killed three hundred. The officers praised me for being formidable."

"I reached five hundred, killed insects upon encountering them." Hu Ping pressed the chive roots into the soil, using a small shovel to compact the soil, then placed another handful of chive roots, completing one pot before moving on to the next.
