Chapter 10 The Targeted Ship
"Thank you, Doctor Chopper."
After wiping the wound with alcohol, applying medicine, and bandaging it, the little civet cat was arranging the medical equipment. The group expressed their gratitude to Chopper, but after being re-bandaged, he still looked like a zombie covered in bandages. I wonder if the doctor did this intentionally.
"I don't like you. You gave me a very bad first impression." Chopper looked at the group sitting opposite and said bluntly.
"The feeling you give me is very similar to the humans who drove me away back then, although you are still reasonable and not as hateful as them."
Dr. Chopper's past experience was unclear, but he could fully imagine how difficult it would be for a talking reindeer to survive in human society. It would probably be commonplace for him to be driven around as a monster. Now, I am in trouble and have been rescued by a monster doctor. Can my previous code of conduct of accepting monsters stand up to the scrutiny of my conscience?
Su Wei, who was sitting next to the two of them, waited quietly until the diagnosis and treatment was over, then she said to the group, "Let's talk about our affairs now."
Although he realized his mistake, it didn't mean that Yi Xing gave up his guard against Su Wei. From the moment he entered this infirmary, he never relaxed his guard against her. However, from beginning to end, this woman did not behave strangely.
"Listen to what I have to say first, and then you can make your own judgment about whether it is right or wrong."
This woman seemed to be planning something from the moment they met. Although I don’t know what her plan was, I might as well talk about it. Thinking of this, Yi Xing made a gesture of invitation.
"Dr. Qiaoba, thank you for your treatment just now. Can we talk in private?"
Su Wei did not start immediately, but first sought Chopper's opinion. Both of them are guests. This is Dr. Chopper's treatment room. If they want to conduct secret negotiations, they must first obtain Chopper's consent.
"Okay, I'm not interested in other people's secrets, so I'll go to the next cabin to prepare the medicine. If you need anything, just call me."
Chopper stared at the group of people with some caution for a while. It wasn't until Su Wei nodded to reassure it that Chopper jumped off the chair, went to the cabin next to it, and closed the door.
"Okay, there's no one else here, just tell me what you have in mind."
The group stood up and sat down where Chopper had been. The two of them were facing each other, but the distance was a little further away. There was a huge gap between the two in terms of realm and strength. Although they didn't think she would suddenly kill her, the group still focused forward and prepared a defensive posture. Su Wei had no objection to his reaction and sat calmly on a round stool not far away.
"For me, meeting you today is the luckiest thing. Although my external injuries seem to have healed, my internal injuries have not improved at all. Most of my mana is used to suppress the injuries in my body. This should be obvious based on your cultivation level. Since I was injured by the same source of power as you, if you help me remove these powers, then I don’t have to spend so much mana to suppress them. It's over, are you willing to help me heal it bit by bit like I am now, I don't know how many years or months it will take to complete it."
Su Wei's words were non-committal, neither agreeing nor rejecting. Since he wanted something from himself, of course he had to wait for the price.
"If you want to go home early, help me get better as soon as possible. Otherwise, when you find the Moonlight Box, without the guidance of the magic power and the rules I learned during my heyday, you can't even think about going back even if you are a hundred times stronger now. , this is a mutually beneficial proposal, just treat it as a deal between us."
There was no hint of coercion in his polite words, but there was no possibility of rejection between the lines. This kind of conspiratorial negotiation put great pressure on him. This vixen firmly grasped the initiative in the negotiation from the beginning. , giving him no chance to choose at all.
"Okay." After thinking carefully, thinking that there were no omissions, Yi Xing answered in the affirmative.
After a pause, as if he had made a lot of determination, he continued, "I also have something to ask you. Regardless of whether you answer truthfully or not, I will still help you with the healing."
He was very uncomfortable being at a disadvantage during the conversation, so he deliberately took back the initiative in the conversation and emphasized his accent when he said the words "I will help you".
"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask them. I won't hide them if I can answer them."
Yi Xing deliberately imitated Yi Xing's tone before answering, but Su Wei's sudden little joke made Yi Xing even more embarrassed. The right to speak that I finally regained lost its meaning in an instant.
"I have also heard of the Moonlight Box. It is said that it can be used to travel through time, but the prerequisite for use is that only one person is allowed to use it at a time. How do you use the Moonlight Box to bring so many people through time and space at the same time? Why do we When you arrive in this world, how much do you know about it and why did you save me when I was in the turbulence of time and space?"
Although he is not too young, this is the first time he has sat face to face with someone of the opposite sex at such a close distance. Moreover, the other person is still such a beautiful woman. He, who has no experience in dealing with this embarrassing situation, feels so much pressure that his voice can't be heard. Her confidence was getting less and less, and she didn't dare to look directly at Su Wei sitting opposite. All these little actions fell into Su Wei's eyes, which made her even more proud, but she just kept smiling and didn't show it.
"The reason I can enable a group of people to travel through time and space is because I separated the space within ten meters of where I was at that time. It's not just us that travel through time, but everything that I separated. You will understand something when you reach the same realm as me. It’s probably fate that arrived in this world. As for why I want to save you, just treat it as a whim and don’t take it to heart, kid.”
I don't know what the words were that made her laugh, and she actually giggled alone, which made the group's embarrassment even worse.
"Forget it if you don't want to say it, I don't have to know." Yi Xing said deliberately pretending to be nonchalant.
"Also, I am not a child. I am already in my twenties and an adult. You are not allowed to say that I am a child."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Su Wei's laughter became louder and louder, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You have only lived for twenty-one years, but I have been practicing for a thousand years. You were not even born when I was the leader."
The laughter suddenly stopped. Su Wei seemed to have suddenly fallen into some memories, and her eyes became quite empty. Judging from his expression, he must be thinking of something bad in the past. This shocked Yi Xing's heart. It turned out that this vixen who could confuse the world also felt so lonely at times.
"Should the healing begin now?" After coughing twice, Yi Xing spoke first to break the silence, pulling the other party back from his memories.
"Need not."
After coming back to her senses, taking a deep breath and making some simple mood adjustments, Su Wei casually refused, as if she didn't care about healing.
"It's nothing, and I don't mind from now on. Restore your strength as soon as possible, and you can protect yourself more. I don't want you to be reimbursed here before going home." After a deep conversation, there was a lot of confusion between the two. They got to know each other a lot, and the relationship was not as tense as before. Invisibly, it was more harmonious, but the arrogance in their bones still made Yi Xing unconsciously ridicule her.
"Hmph" was his reply with a slightly nasal sound of disdain.
"I'm not so weak that I can't protect myself. Don't forget, I'm a great monster who has been practicing for thousands of years. Even you and I can easily defeat you now. Moreover, something interesting will happen later. , this is something you must not miss, and the healing can wait until tomorrow to start.”
“What’s interesting is something you know or something you discovered.”
Su Wei's inscrutable response made him confused. Could it be that he had overlooked some details?
"You'll know when you go on the deck. This matter started before you and Brooke even boarded the ship."
Su Wei did not answer his question directly, but directly suggested going to the deck. As soon as the two stood up, the entire ship shook violently, and the Thousand Sunny hit something unknown. At the same time, the sound of falling to the ground was also heard outside the door of the consulting room. The group quickly came to the cabin door and reached out to open it. They saw a chair falling to the ground outside the door. Chopper fell to the floor before he could stand up. This scene always made him feel that this cute little reindeer must have been doing something bad just now.
"I didn't eavesdrop, I just wanted to see if the door was closed." Chopper hurriedly got up from the floor, his small body quickly hid behind the table, and explained nervously with a pair of small eyes. , but the evasion method of just hiding the part above the eyes is really laughable.
Su Wei was in front, Chopper and the group were behind, and the three of them came to the deck together. In the direction of the ship's bow, a strange wall trapped the Thousand Sunny in a trap, and the only entrance and exit had been closed. It seemed that the trembling just now was caused by this. Almost everyone on the boat was here. The group glanced around, but Brooke was missing.
After all, "Where's Brooke?" is on the ship with him, and the relationship is much closer.
"You guys are here. We just found the ghost, and then Bones ran out in a hurry. After looking at the situation around him, his expression changed drastically. It seemed that there was something urgent and he had already arrived on the island. Now we are Get ready to go on an adventure together and get him back by the way."
Luffy, who was holding on to the side of the ship and looking into the distance, was extremely excited and didn't care about the possibility of danger.
"I'm already feeling adventurous, and I've decided that Bones will be my companion."
"No, if Luffy lets a skeleton be his partner, he won't be able to sleep at night." Usopp on the side shouted hoarsely against Luffy's decision to let a skeleton on board, and Chopper and Nami also expressed their support.
"Yes, skeletons are too scary. Speaking of Luffy, what are you doing with the net and cage?"
"I want to capture the ghost I just saw and raise it."
Well, the decision to put a skeleton on board is ridiculous enough. Now there are a few more ghosts on board. Could it be that the Thousand Sunny is going to turn into a ghost ship?
"I seem to be suffering from a disease that prevents me from going to the island." Looking at the gloomy island in the distance, Nami felt that the idea of landing was extremely dangerous. Nami, who slowly leaned against the wall and huddled up, used Usopp's usual trick as an excuse.
"The lunch box is ready."
Robin came out of the kitchen and packed the prepared lunch boxes and distributed them to everyone.
"Is Robin going too?"
Seeing Robin preparing a lunch, Nami, who was feeling crisis, asked anxiously. In her opinion, the three most powerful people were determined to go to the island for adventure, and the strongest among the remaining people was Robin. She also expected her to stay and protect the weaklings like herself.
"Yes, I like excitement. I don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime adventure opportunity." Robin's answer made Nami become even more desperate.
"Okay, everyone, listen to me."
Franky, the weird boatman who has been wearing only one pair of underpants since they met, announced loudly, "Next, we will land in a small boat. However, I have something I want to show you, which is the soldier dock system that comes with this ship. Channel 2."
While speaking, Franky opened the hatch on the deck and asked Nami and others to go down with him to take a look.
"Except for the outer wheel of No. 2, the Weiba of No. 4 and No. , and the submarine, didn't you say that No. and No. are empty?" The four people came to the cabin. The gray fog outside was isolated, and Nami gradually dispersed. He asked curiously, having overcome his previous fear.
Although she had only been on this ship for a few days, she was amazed by every system on board. Now that she heard that one of the two spare ones had been found, her great curiosity dispelled her fear. The theory that curiosity killed the cat was very reasonable, but Nami had long forgotten this.
"That's to give you a surprise. If you don't want to go ashore, you can first go aboard the outbound procurement ship Mini Meili 2 and have a great time."
Pushing up the triangular sunglass lenses, Frankie looked even more proud when he saw his masterpiece again. The weakest three who followed him to the cabin looked towards the opened No. 2 system cabin. As soon as they walked out, the mini steamer Meri was quietly moored inside, and the expressions of the three changed from calm to surprise. , and then burst into tears. All this was within Frankie's expectation, and the excited tears of the three made him even more satisfied with his design.
Soon, a steam outer steam boat creaked out of the special passage in the belly of the ship and sailed forward. The members of the Straw Hats became very excited when they saw the appearance of the boat, which made the group a little confused and confused. After asking Robin who was standing next to him, he learned that the steam boat that sailed out was a smaller version of their former companion, the Merry.
"Wow, that's great. I want it too. I want it too."
Luffy, who was holding on to the railing of the ship, leaned half of his body out, shouting extremely excitedly, not caring at all about the danger of falling into the sea. This was the first time the group saw Luffy acting so glum, and the excitement was palpable.
"Unfortunately, it is a steam mechanism. Although it is very sophisticated, it still has shortcomings."
Su Wei, who stood quietly on the side of the ship, looked at the boat breaking through the waves and made a faint comment. This attitude of speaking made the group a little surprised. This all-rounded woman would actually do such a thing. They thought that it was he and Brooke's patent to make people look bad, but they didn't expect that this elegant and elegant woman would do something like this.
Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely penetrating, and Frankie heard it clearly. The gangster-like man in shorts pinched his waist with his left hand, pushed up his sunglasses with his right hand, and said rather arrogantly, "I wonder what you have to say, Miss?"
"I dare not take it for granted."
Smoothing her long hair that was blown by the sea breeze, Su Wei smiled and said, "The steam engine needs to burn coal, and the thermal efficiency is relatively low. It is okay as a procurement ship. In special circumstances, there is not enough place to carry fuel. The endurance is too small. . If it is replaced by an internal combustion engine, its speed and stability will be greatly improved. The range can also be increased a lot."
"Hey, Miss is actually an expert. It's beyond my expectation." Franky didn't feel dissatisfied with Su Wei's words, but agreed with them.
"There are not enough materials on the ship for modification. We have to wait until we land to purchase enough supplies. But the lady's suggestion is indeed good. If you have the opportunity, you must discuss this technology."
Everyone was chatting lively, and a scream came from the water in front, and it was Nami's voice. Everyone's attention was attracted by this startled breath.
It was obvious that the three of them must be in danger. Add "songshu566" prestige public account to see more
