VGSB Chapter 42

A Gift

Lu Jinbei pursed his lips.

Lightning-type crystals were the least suitable for restoring the spiritual strength of beta or omega.

The elements were radical and violent, and aggressive even when they exist alone.

Some omegas have weak spiritual power and will have serious rejection reactions to lightning-type.

Except for alphas with different supernatural attributes, other ordinary people can choose crystals of any element to restore their spiritual power.

The first thing recommended on Starnet was water-type crystal.

Water-type was gentle and controllable.

It was not just crystals. When the Main Brain cannot find a highly compatible partner, many people’s mate selection criteria was to prioritize water-type alphas.

Everyone likes a gentle personality.

The wind-type Tan Ye, who had a hard time finding a partner, questioned the Lightning-type Lu Jinbei, who had the hardest time finding a partner. “Did you not sleep at night and are now unconscious? The water-type conflicts with your element, you take the water-type back to use?”

“You have any objections?”

“Of course I have no objection.” Tan Ye could hear the chill in Lu Jinbei’s tone. He laughed dryly and reached out to pull out a piece of paper from the file. “I’ll help you fill out a form.”

Lu Jinbei paused for a moment as he placed his hand on the seventh-level crystal glass cabinet. He then opened another cabinet on the upper two levels and took out a dazzling blue crystal.

Ling Huan’s spiritual power was greatly depleted in order to heal his injuries. Although his behavior was still suspicious, he couldn’t take Ling Huan’s spiritual power for free, so it was normal to give him some compensation.

And Ling Huan seemed to be particularly poor.

The compensation for the nursery was clearly doubled for Ling Huan last time, but how come he can’t even afford a crystal to replenish his mental strength?

He spent a lot of time looking at StarNet last night, but in the end he didn’t even buy a level one crystal.

Lu Jinbei glanced at the glass cabinets beside him and found that several of them were empty. “Why are there only two water-type ones left?”

“You are not taking one, but you want two? Then I have to fill out this form again…” Tan Ye complained quietly, and suddenly froze, “Wait! How can there be only two? Are you talking about the ninth-level crystal? The ninth-level ones are very expensive and the stock is limited. Aren’t there seventh-level and eighth-level ones?”

“No need to fill out the form again. I’ll only take one today.”

Tan Ye flipped through the previous application form and said, “Ship No. 3 has several water-type abilities. Ship No. 4 exploded before, and the water-type abilities were responsible for the ship’s maintenance. The damage was too severe, so they just submitted a spiriutal power report the day before yesterday, and took away a few of them.”

“I’ve been busy submitting the starship’s year-end summary recently, so I don’t have time to replenish the inventory, only have two. Level 9 crystals are not cheap, and the quantity is small. Now they are all sold out on the star network. The ones in the military are all those that were bought before and not used up. However, we have a special channel for obtaining goods, so new water crystals should be delivered next week.”

Lu Jinbei calmly put away the crystals, “Add more water-type ones, level nine, I need them.”

“Okay, but how do you use the water-type one?”

The light brain interface suddenly jumped, and Tan Ye watched Lu Jinbei end the call expressionlessly.

The corner of his mouth twitched. He found that Lu Jinbei’s behavior was becoming more and more confusing recently, so he resigned himself to his fate and began to look through the replenishment list for next week.

……

Ling Huan was awakened by the light. Even with his eyes closed, there was a very penetrating light.

The falling dream was filled with endless darkness.

The light spreading from all around surged up like a tide.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the dizzy feeling lasted for three seconds before slowly getting better. Ling Huan rubbed his cheek on the soft pillow twice, not wanting to get up. He lay there and saw clearly a furry paw very close to him.

Beibei stood upright on the pillow, pressing a glowing blue object with his paw and slowly pushing it towards his face.

But the pillow was too slippery for his claws to hold on to, and the thing kept falling down.

Ling Huan raised his wrist and looked at the time displayed on the light brain.

It was only nine o’clock when he was woken up by Beibei’s tossing and turning.

Having an energetic cat does have its sweet troubles.

Watching Beibei pushing that thing back and forth as if he was fighting with it, even using his tail, he couldn’t help laughing and reached out to touch the cat’s cotton-like ears.

Lu Jinbei lowered his eyes. From this angle, he could just see Ling Huan’s long and curled eyelashes. His messy hair was sticking to the side of his face, giving people the illusion that he was very well-behaved.

He withdrew his gaze and moved the crystal back persistently.

Seeing that Ling Huan looked like he had never seen the world yesterday, he don’t know if he knows how to use the crystal. He should have attached a set of instructions when he wrote the email last night.

Ling Huan didn’t feel grumpy when he woke up, he just felt very tired, and his voice was very hoarse when he spoke.

“What are you playing?”

At first he thought Beibei had brought back a lamp, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the thing on the bed looked familiar.

【Level 9 Water Crystal, this thing costs more than 8,000 interstellar coins, and it is out of stock on the Starnet.】

【This morning, an email was sent from the military’s official Light brain account, saying that the compensation given to the host was missed, and another 10,000 interstellar coins were transferred into the account. The crystals were delivered this morning.】

Ling Huan, who suddenly became rich, was very confused, “Is the military so rich?”

What a coincidence that the crystal stone that he had seen last night and been itching(to get it) was delivered to him.

The last renovation cost double the money he paid, he not only hired the best renovation team, but also bought brand-name furniture, which was just enough to use and leaving not a penny behind.

Now they were giving him money again. The military’s attitude towards the people was too friendly and considerate.

It was simply impossible to associate them(military) with the cold and conceited Lu Jinbei.

Ling Huan held the cold crystal and pondered for a moment.

There were three generals in the imperial army, and it was possible that Lu Jinbei was not the one responsible for his aftermath this time.

Ling Huan curled up in the quilt, turning the glowing crystal in his hand around, and  he felt the blue color was making him nervous a little[footnote]Raw is 觉得蓝的有点慎得慌(Juédé lán de yǒudiǎn shèn dé huāng) and google gave me :”I feel a little bit nervous about blue.” It seem to means its color was so blue that LH was nervous…but, why it doesn’t feel like LH was nervous or scared at all? Is this another internet buzzwords again? If anyone know, pls don’t hesitate to leave a comment ya~[/footnote]. “How do I use this?”

【Host just needs to focus your spiritual power on the crystal stone as you did in the previous treatment. This is the fastest way to absorb the energy, and it will be absorbed in a few minutes. Ordinary people need to crush it first and then hold it in their hands. The ninth-level crystal stone has great energy, and it takes about an hour to absorb.】

Ling Huan made a vague “oh” sound and reached out to pull Beibei, who was still standing on the pillow and staring at him, into the quilt.

Sleepiness was still rising in waves, and he half-closed his eyes and materialized his spiritual power to touch the crystal.

An endless supply of water elements poured into the spiritual realm like a warm sea, filling every dry spot in the spiritual realm. It spread with a slightly cool and damp feeling. For a few brief minutes, the feeling of replenished spiritual energy was like fireworks exploding in the consciousness.

The color of the water crystal in his hand gradually dimmed. After the crystal was completely absorbed, the heavy feeling of fatigue in his body suddenly disappeared.

When Ling Huan was withdrawing his spiritual strength, he suddenly encountered a golden light source, which was very close to him, as if it was right under his pillow. When he opened his eyes, he saw Bei Bei in his arms, who was trying to dig something out from under the pillow with his claws.

Ling Huan watched the light golden pupils shrink into thin lines, curled his lips and leaned over to look at the pillow, and said, “What good things did Beibei hide?”

Unexpectedly, Ling Huan absorbed it so quickly. Lu Jinbei’s first reaction was to quickly retract his claws, but he accidentally brought out the things under the pillow.

It looks like a crystal, but it was several times smaller than the water crystal just now, and it was not particularly bright when placed in the palm of his hand.

When it was touched, there was a slight crackling sound in the quiet air, and the electric current was faintly visible.

【A sixth-level lightning crystal, with traces of use, so the lightning on the surface will not be very strong. It is normal for Host to feel numbness in his hands while holding it.】

【By the way, this is the least popular attribute crystal that Omega and Beta unanimously voted for. 】

“There are signs of use?”

Ignoring 009’s next words, Ling Huan seemed to be thinking, “Could it be that Beibei picked up a half-used crystal that someone didn’t want anymore?”

Picked it up and gave it to him?

【This question is beyond my knowledge. Apart from the known small world information, the Host and I share the five senses. I cannot see what happens in the outside world when the Host is asleep.】

Ling Huan has figured it out.

As soon as he got up, he saw Beibei fiddling with the blue one as if he was sulking, and he hid the one he had picked up under his pillow. It must be because he saw the water crystal in the morning and thought it was very beautiful, so he went out confidently to pick up a lightning crystal from the garbage, and the more he put them together, the more he looked at them, the less comparable they were.

Now he was too shy to give it to him.

Pinching the lightning crystal with his slender fingertips, Ling Huan put the crystal and Beibei together and looked at them, and found that the colors were exactly the same.

Lu Jinbei lay stiffly in Ling Huan’s arms. Although he didn’t see what Ling Huan did after taking the lightning crystal away, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements nearby.

Suddenly he felt Ling Huan stand up and throw something into the drawer.

Lu Jinbei stared at the white pillow intently and did not hear Ling Huan speak for a long time. He guessed that Ling Huan must have noticed that the lightning crystal had been used, and he felt a little stifled in his heart.

No reaction at all.

The crystal level was not high either.

It doesn’t feel comfortable to touch either. Ling Huan must have thrown the lightning -type piece into the drawer just now.

He suddenly regretted why he had gone home and brought back a lightning-type crystal today. It was simply superfluous.

He suddenly felt a warm breath beside his ear. Lu Jinbei stood up suddenly and accidentally bumped into Ling Huan’s shoulder. He quickly lay back down. In front of him, a white and slender hand appeared. The thing it was holding shook slightly, shining with golden light.

Lu Jinbei’s breath suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the youth’s almost perfect profile illuminated by the light.

His mind went blank for a moment.

The one he was holding was of the lightning-type, and the one Ling Huan had just thrown was of the water-type.

Ling Huan kept hugging Beibei and whispered, “Is Beibei like this one? Did you bring it back for me?”

Lu Jinbei turned his face towards him, and Ling Huan spoke very closely, and even kissed him on the ear without any warning.

The tips of his erect ears felt a little hot.

“I like this gift very much. It’s much prettier than the big blue one just now. It’s as beautiful as our Beibei’s eyes.”

“Don’t step on it, Beibei, or it will break and won’t light up. How about putting it on the bedside as a night light?”

~~~

Author has something to say:

【Ling Ling: Is Bei Bei picking up garbage to support me? 】

【Beibei: If you want to talk, just talk nicely, don’t kiss me suddenly.】


First kiss?
