Chapter 164 Black Silk
Chapter 164 Black Silk
"So, when do you plan to start the reconstruction of my body?" Huanlong asked Ruan Mei with sharp eyes.
"Please be patient. The materials are not yet ready. Even if you are extremely anxious, I cannot create the materials you need out of thin air." Ruan Mei's tone was calm.
"But the starstone you mentioned before, I haven't seen it in the laboratory or in this sea of stars." Huanlong looked at the vast sea of stars outside the laboratory, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Did I say that starstone is a common stone?" Ruan Mei asked back.
"No." Huanlong answered honestly.
"Starstone is not the huge stone you imagine, but a granular substance as fine as sand." Ruan Mei explained in detail, "Although its shape is small, its hardness is comparable to that of alloy. I call it starstone for a reason."
"Granular... There seems to be no direct connection between this and the name 'Starstone.'" Huanlong frowned slightly, indicating that he did not understand.
"Although it is small in shape, it contains the light and power of the stars, so I call it Star Stone." Ruan Mei spread out her palms, as if describing the invisible tiny particles, "What's wrong with this name?"
She was silent and dazed, she knew very well that Ruan Mei's logic was always so unique, yet difficult to refute.
Huanlong was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She understood that it was meaningless to argue with Ruan Mei about the naming issue. The important thing was how to obtain the required materials as quickly as possible and start the process of body shaping.
"Okay, I accept your explanation." Huanlong finally compromised, "Then, how do we get these starlight stones next?"
Ruan Mei smiled slightly, as if she had already expected Huanlong to ask this question. She walked to a huge screen and called up a star map.
"Starstone is very rare and difficult to mine. If I hadn't observed it carefully... I wouldn't have discovered this substance."
Then Ruan Mei pointed to a remote galaxy on the star map and said, "As far as I know, there is an asteroid in this galaxy with rich asterite deposits. However, the environment there is harsh and mining is extremely difficult."
Huanlong and Lin Yu moved closer to the screen and carefully observed the asteroid. The surface of the planet was covered with various craters and cracks, making it look extremely desolate.
"But..this shouldn't be too difficult for you."
"After all, no matter how bad it is... can it be as bad as the core of a star?" Ruan Mei said to the two of them.
"Hmph... Let's not talk about Lin Yu... I'm Huanlong, I've touched the star core with my own hands... What's the big deal about this little bad environment?" Huanlong said, naturally not caring about the environment there.
"Without further delay, I'm leaving first." Huanlong said, then turned into a ball of fire, shuttled out of the laboratory, and flew towards the coordinates mentioned by Ruan Mei.
"She really can't wait." Ruan Mei said with a hint of sarcasm.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, she's always dreamed of a perfect body." Lin Yu explained, with an understanding look on his face.
"Lin Yu." Ruan Mei suddenly looked at Lin Yu seriously, with a hint of expectation in her tone.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Lin Yu turned around puzzledly and met Ruan Mei's gaze.
"Do you remember? When we were in the space station, you told me to look forward to the reward you would ask for from me..." "You haven't forgotten, have you? Or... are you really planning to just have one reward? Or is it for Huanlong?" Ruan Mei's eyes sparkled, as if she was waiting for something.
"How could I forget? But I remember that there seemed to be only one reward?" Lin Yu looked at Ruan Mei in confusion, trying to confirm.
"Who said there is only one copy?" Ruan Mei frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied with Lin Yu's misunderstanding.
"More than one?" Lin Yu showed a surprised expression.
"Yes, and I was thinking, if you haven't decided what you want, I have prepared a special gift for you." Ruan Mei said lightly with a mysterious smile on her face.
"A special gift? What is it?" Lin Yu's curiosity was completely aroused by Ruan Mei.
"A special gift is no longer mysterious if you tell it to me. Of course, you have to find it yourself~" Ruan Mei winked mischievously.
"However, you can't rush to find it now." Ruan Mei changed the subject and stopped Lin Yu.
"Why?" Lin Yu asked puzzledly.
"Because, I want to hear first what gift you ask me for." Ruan Mei smiled, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Well...how about, let's just forget it? I haven't thought about it yet, and according to my previous thoughts, you might..." Lin Yu hesitated, as if he was worried that his request would make Ruan Mei embarrassed.
"What are you afraid of? I have money, power and influence. What request can't I meet?" Ruan Mei interrupted Lin Yu and said confidently.
"Speak boldly, it's just a gift, can't I afford it?" Ruan Mei encouraged Lin Yu and signaled him to speak.
"Did I really say that?" Lin Yu asked tentatively.
"Well, go ahead." Ruan Mei nodded, her eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation.
"I actually... want you to wear this." Lin Yu took a deep breath, then slowly took out an exquisite gift box from his hand, which contained a piece of black stockings.
Ruan Mei was stunned. She obviously did not expect Lin Yu to make such a request. She stared at the black silk in Lin Yu's hand, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"Are you sure?" Ruan Mei's tone was a little flustered and unbelievable. "You want me to wear this?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Lin Yu nodded.
Lin Yu then lowered his head.
It's a bit too much to make this request yourself, right?
However, at this moment, Ruan Mei unexpectedly walked forward, stretched out her hand, gently took the stockings from Lin Yu's hand, and observed them carefully in the palm of her hand.
"This material...the texture...is really good." Ruan Mei's tone was more serious. She raised her head and looked at Lin Yu, "But...how do I wear this?"
Lin Yu was startled by Ruan Mei's words and looked up. He looked at Ruan Mei with some surprise, as if he didn't expect her to ask that.
"Ah...ah? This...is just put on the feet..."
"But...that's not right...I saw you wearing it on your legs before...how come you don't know how to wear it?" Lin Yu asked Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei was a little surprised when she heard Lin Yu's words. When did he see it?
Did you see it secretly?
However...Ruan Mei had a smile on her face.
"Before...the two little guys, Cheese Lava and Red Bean Paste and Gray, helped me put them on..." Ruan Mei explained.
"But...it seems that you pay a lot of attention to me. You even noticed the details of my legs." Ruan Mei teased. "Are you interested in my legs?" Ruan Mei asked.
"I...I didn't!" Lin Yu hurriedly explained, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end even he could hardly hear it.
Ruan Mei looked at Lin Yu's embarrassed look and found it very interesting. She decided to give Lin Yu a small punishment, so she smiled and said to Lin Yu: "Since you want to see it so much, then punish you to help me put it on."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Mei snapped her fingers lightly, and an exquisite chair appeared in front of her out of thin air. She gracefully raised one leg, stepped on the chair, and then signaled to Lin Yu that they could start.
