Chapter 287 You're a really nice person!
A knocking sound rang out on the door.
"Hello, Su, would you like something to eat?" Lu Ji asked politely from outside the door.
"Oh, coming right away." Su Yan put away all the egg cases except for Xiao Ba, placed it on the bed, and then went to answer the door.
Lu Ji inevitably caught a glimpse of the room the moment Su Yan opened the door.
It was surprisingly clean; even the old grime on the floor was gone, the walls were much whiter, and there was an extra, luxurious and comfortable bed.
"You're quick and efficient. It's only been a short time, but you've cleaned the room so well. It looks even better than a hotel room."
"I'm better at physical labor," Su Yan said with a slightly embarrassed smile, and opened the door. "Want to come in and rest for a bit?"
"No, no, no, I've tidied up the kitchen, it's basically usable now. I also made a soup with nutrient solution, and there's some bread and canned ham."
"Wow? This is so lavish! It makes me hungry. Wait a minute..." Su Yan turned around and went back into the house, taking a box of fruit out of her backpack. "I'll have a dessert with it."
“This is a rare find,” Lucky laughed.
Fruit is a luxury item on any planet; often, one pound of fruit is equivalent to about ten pounds of meat.
"I love sweet fruit. I picked these myself. You should try some too."
"Thank you."
Su Yan looked at his face and realized that he could eat any food, and it tasted delicious.
"Who is Zulu to you?" Lugi tore off a piece of toast and chewed slowly. He could certainly tell that Su Yan was looking at someone else through him.
Su Yan remained silent for a moment before saying, "He is the father of my child."
Lu Ji was taken aback. "You have a child?"
"Mmm." Su Yan nodded; she was pregnant.
"You... how old are you?"
"Actually, I lied about my age, haha~ Don't tell anyone."
"...No. But what about your child?"
"Yes, ask a friend to help look after them." Xiaomei checked on the children and wasn't wrong.
Lu Ji understood. No wonder he didn't have a mech and applied for a mech soldier position. Raising a child costs a lot of star coins.
“Um… I don’t have much money either, about 50,000 star coins, which I can give to you.” Lugi said, turning on his personal terminal.
What do you mean? Su Yan looked at him.
Should we donate money to her...?
Su Yan chuckled, "No need, I can support them right now."
"Them?" Lugi was even more surprised.
Su Yan nodded, "Triplets."
"..." Lu Ji continued operating the computer, "Give me the account."
What a kind person!
"Really, it's not necessary," Su Yan continued to politely decline.
Lu Ji insisted on giving it to her, saying, "I'll just transfer a red envelope to you directly, please accept it. Don't be shy, I have no use for these."
"But you're not..."
"A competition? I just want this spot to go somewhere. I'll keep it."
"You're a really nice person. Well, if you need my help, just say so. Don't let my weak appearance fool you, I'm actually not that strong, hahaha~"
"Okay, hehe."
Su Yan offered Lu Ji some fruit.
As we were eating, we heard someone outside call out, "Excuse me, is Paxton Military Academy located here?"
Su Yan looked at Lu Ji, "From our military academy."
Lu Ji told Su Yan to continue eating, "I'll go."
Su Yan looked at his back and the more she looked at him, the more he resembled Zulu.
[Host, Lu Ji is an Inhuman. You can observe his bestial transformation. If his genes are good, he might be able to reproduce.]
"...I never thought about having children. I'm already pregnant, so why would I be so horny?"
When you're alone in a foreign world, it's hard not to steal a few glances at familiar faces.
Lu Ji led a thin boy into the kitchen.
Upon seeing the food on the table, the boy immediately began to swallow hard.
Su Yan invited, "Better late than never, let's grab something to eat together?"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." The boy washed his hands and immediately started eating.
Lu Ji then introduced the boy's situation.
His name was Lasha, and he had applied for a job as a mecha pilot at the Paxton Military Academy. He also happened to have a spare mecha that he could lend to Su Yan.
"Oh? This is a real lifesaver." Su Yan handed Lasha a piece of toast.
Watching him wolf down his food.
"You're welcome. As long as I have food to eat every day, that's fine."
“That’s easy.” Lucky took on the job of cook. “Tomorrow, go to town and buy more ingredients. Would you like some barbecue?”
“I’ll go too,” Su Yan raised her hand.
Lasha swallowed hard, "I want to eat roast beef."
“No problem,” Lu Ji replied with a smile.
After dinner, it got dark.
Lasha suggested they go to the Imperial Military District and try to get some supplies.
It was completely empty here, there was nothing there. The Imperial Military Region was rich and powerful; they could easily give them a little something to eat and drink.
This is also what the Independent Military District does most often. No mech parts? No problem, just borrow them from the Imperial Military District! Injured? No problem either, the Imperial Military District will help provide a medical pod.
Its main selling point is its thick skin!
Su Yan was speechless.
Luki seemed to know the situation and didn't say anything, but he offered to help Lasha tidy up her room and clean the training ground.
Otherwise, when they return to plunder, there will be nowhere to put our things.
Finally, Su Yan and Lasha went to the Imperial Military District to borrow something.
The roadbed was left behind to guard the house.
"Lasha, how old are you this year? Which military academy are you in?"
"Me? I'm 17 years old, a freshman from the Federal Military District's Denkov Military Academy. Because I wasn't selected, I joined the Independent Military District just to gain experience and hopefully be selected by the Federation next year."
"If you can win a victory representing the independent military district, you will definitely have a spot next year."
"Hmm. But... is that possible?"
"Indeed." Su Yan smiled. "I hope Lady Luck will bless us."
"The goddess of fortune has showered the whole world with lucky rain, but she has held up an umbrella just for me!" Lasha pulled at her messy hair.
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha."
They arrived at the Imperial Military District's headquarters.
Looking at the brightly lit camp, with regular troops guarding outside, it was like an impregnable fortress protecting the trainees inside.
"There's no comparison," Su Yan sighed.
Lasha sighed, "That's why the Imperial Military Region always comes in first place."
"Even an alliance won't work?"
"We've won a few times. The odds are roughly one to ten with the Imperial Military District. The Independent Military District is professionally responsible for being a runner-up, but they can't avoid it."
"...Alright, it's our turn to run this time. But how are we going to get into this heavily guarded base?"
Lachai opened the computer's address book and dialed a number.
Soon, a very cheerful male voice rang out, "Brother, where are we now?"
Lasha said irritably, "He's right outside the gate of your campus compound, and he's brought a friend with him. Come and greet this old man."
