Chapter 56: Unforgettable But Not Sinking

The door of the Special Observation Room sounded, Lin Lei responded, and then someone pushed the door open and entered.

“Mr. Lin, I am Annis. I brought you clothes, and the Pure Energy Crystal from your Mecha storage bay.”

Lin Lei stood up, nodded his thanks to Annis, casually put on the clothes he held, and then took the Pure Energy Crystal from his hand, which was the good thing produced by the Red Shuttle Hawk King.

Lin Lei looked at this fist-sized, semi-transparent energy crystal and started to worry. The System said this thing could be used as a Level 3 Strengthening reserve, which meant it was edible, but it was such a big piece, and such a complete one, how could he swallow it?

He wondered if it would be effective if he cut it open and swallowed it.

Annis watched from the side for a long time and somewhat understood Lin Lei’s meaning: “Mr. Lin, this Pure Energy Crystal of yours is from inside an Epic Beast, right? This thing can be taken, but it is best to use Biological Dissociation Liquid to turn it into a liquid state for easy swallowing.”

This energy crystal could not be swallowed all at once, otherwise an ordinary person would be burst apart by the power ful energy within. It could only be dissociated and diluted, then taken in multiple doses, generally taking half a year or even longer. Although with the passage of time, the dissociation liquid would dissipate most of the energy, wasting a large part of its efficacy, it at least served the purpose of strengthening the body.

“Oh, then is there Biological Dissociation Liquid on the Galaxy Flight?” Lin Lei asked.

Annis said with some difficulty: “Not right now, but this thing needs to be specially prepared. Regrettably, there is only one person on the flight who knows how to prepare the dissociation liquid.”

“Who is he?”

“It is the physician Moira whom you just chased away. You see, in this situation, shouldn’t you go and obtain her forgiveness?” Annis rubbed his hands and said somewhat nervously.

Damn it, Lin Lei cursed secretly. “System, do you have any suggestions?”

“Host, do you need the System to help you configure the Biological Dissociation Liquid?”

“System, you can do that?”

“Yes, but five points of Level 3 Strengthening Authority must be deducted from the Host as payment.”

“What! Then when you helped me reset the control systems of the spaceship and Mecha, why didn’t you ask for payment!” Five points of Level 3 Strengthening Authority, how could Lin Lei easily give that up, not even a little bit!

“The biological field is far more complex than the computer field, so the Host must pay the price!”

Fine, I won’t trouble you, System. I’ll go apologize, okay? How much is face worth? Face isn’t worth money!

Don’t show off, or you’ll get struck down. He had just acted cool once, and now he had to pay it back with interest.

Lin Lei tossed the Pure Energy Crystal in his hand, turned his head and said to Annis: “Then let’s go. My action just now was indeed too rude and barbaric. As a gentleman, I must treat ladies from any planet gently.”

Annis showed a bitter smile, but was secretly surprised in his heart. He thought such a powerful person would be arrogant and never admit mistakes, but he didn’t expect him to be a man who could bend and stretch.

Having been the chief mate of the flight for over ten years, he was knowledgeable and had seen all kinds of people. He had even seen warriors from Ao Star twice, and knew the rarity of such character.

In ten years or so, this Earthling might really be able to revive his race.

…

“You mean, you are apologizing for what you did just now?” Moira asked in surprise, opening her beautiful eyes wide. The bruise on her neck had now become very faint, and her voice had returned to normal. It was clear her medical skills were superb.

“Of course. Since you are from Musen Star, the Layite People have nothing to do with you. I was rash.” Lin Lei now had no aura of keeping strangers away at all.

Moira ignored Annis, who was winking at her wildly from the side to tell her to quit while she was ahead, and asked with a smile: “Then what about your sincerity? Is your sincerity just these words?”

Lin Lei played with the Pure Energy Crystal in his hand and responded with a smile: “Of course it’s not just verbal. You can make a request of me. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you.”

Since he was preparing to ask for a favor, his attitude naturally had to be impeccable. However, the way this woman smiled was really like Fuweili, especially when she squinted her eyes and her pupils were not visible. This was the fundamental reason why Lin Lei could tolerate her until now.

In the Galaxy, probably only Fuweili could make Lin Lei change his domineering temperament and forcefully reverse his decisions, but even Fuweili had paid a price.

Moira was very happy. A super warrior owing her a favor was something to be proud of.

“I haven’t thought of what condition yet. When I really need it, I will tell you. So, do you want to configure the Biological Dissociation Liquid corresponding to the Pure Energy Crystal in your hand?”

“Yes. You just need to turn it into a liquid state that can be drunk.” Lin Lei handed the crystal of the Red Shuttle Hawk King to Moira.

Moira gently flicked the crystal with her finger, then narrowed her eyes to look at it carefully, before snapping her fingers at Lin Lei and saying: “No problem. Come to me tomorrow to pick it up.”

This action made Lin Lei freeze again. It was too similar, so similar that Lin Lei’s spirit went into a trance.

“Hey, hey, what’s wrong with you?” A fair, tender hand waved before his eyes. Lin Lei grabbed it and woke up, but then he saw Moira’s double pupils and inexplicably felt a wave of disgust.

He unnaturally let go of Moira’s hand and said somewhat awkwardly: “Nothing, I just thought of someone. Then you stay busy, I’ll come over tomorrow. Goodbye!” After saying that, Lin Lei hurriedly fled Moira’s studio.

Someone chased up from behind. Lin Lei knew it was Annis, so he slowed his pace.

“Very similar, isn’t it?” Annis said softly beside Lin Lei.

Lin Lei stopped in his tracks. He took a deep breath and looked deeply into Annis’s eyes: “Of course. I will never forget her!” He had tried, but he failed.

Annis did not dodge and looked straight at Lin Lei: “I thought you only cared about your race and the starry sky above your head. Since you love her, why don’t you dare to fight for her!”

“I can’t give her what she wants. I think I know her better than you. She is sensitive, timid, smart, yet brave. I owe her a lot. She would probably find more happiness returning to Apocalypse.” Even Lin Lei didn’t believe these words himself; they were just an excuse he found for himself.

Annis said in a mocking tone: “Know?! No, you don’t understand Apocalypse People at all! We believe in eternal love. Fuweili will never be happy for her whole life. She will spend her life immersed in longing and misery until she dies alone! If I could beat you, I would want to punch you a few times right now!”

Lin Lei gave a bitter laugh, his voice dry as if he had squeezed all the air from his lungs: “You don’t understand us Earthlings either! Do you know how our mother planet was destroyed?”

Annis looked at Lin Lei, waiting for his answer.

Lin Lei clenched his fists, gnashed his teeth, and cold words popped out from between his teeth: “We detonated our own mother planet. What we couldn’t get, the Layite People shouldn’t think about getting either!”

The Apocalypse Person Annis was frightened by Lin Lei’s resolute aura and retreated two steps: “Earthlings are madmen, all of them!”

“So, she will become the most beautiful memory of my life, but she cannot block my steps. Save it, Annis. Perhaps in the future I will go to Apocalypse, but definitely not just because of her.”

His greatest goal in life was to restore the glory of the Earthlings, not to get entangled with a woman, even if he loved her deeply!

The various beauties of the past could be mourned, but there was no need to sink into them.

“You are so cruel!” The Apocalypse Person Annis looked at Lin Lei in disbelief, unable to believe this was the hero who sacrificed his life to save the Galaxy Flight.

“Hahaha,” Lin Lei laughed loudly, saying nothing, and walked away leaving footprint after footprint on the high-strength alloy floor of the flight.

It seemed heroic, but his back revealed a sense of desolation.
