Chapter 13

"Sister Minli, do you think these Krud people also have periods of fatigue?" Fu Yue lay on the couch, boredly sipping her milk tea, "My boss hasn’t been out since showing up at Pet Warehouse the other day."

If Fu Yue didn’t remember their superior-subordinate relationship well, sometimes she would suspect that this dog boss seemed to be avoiding her.

"I feel like they have experiences they can’t finish spending every day, sometimes they even revolve around you." Zhang Minli picked up the remote and switched to a 3D beach projection environment, then lay down again.

Looking at the empty living room for the past few days, Fu Yue sighed and could only pick up the fruit on the table to eat, "At this rate, I’ll start to suspect I’m heading for the unemployment crisis."

"Don’t worry, you’ll see them soon." Zhang Minli lay back on the lounger enjoying the sun with sunglasses on, "In a couple of days, the Kurds’ gathering will be held, and you’ll definitely come over then."

"Okay, I will do my best at the banquet!" Fu Yue said confidently.

"You should save your strength for the journey back…" Zhang Minli suddenly sat up, gave a wink to Fu Yue, and said, "Let’s call it a day for now."

When Fu Yue heard that the Zerg tribe from Sister Minli’s side had returned, she quickly ended the call to show her understanding.

But why couldn’t she show her talents at the banquet? Fu Yue was puzzled.

On the day of the banquet, she finally understood what Sister Minli meant.

"Where are we?" Fu Yue looked at the lavishly decorated small banquet hall and turned to Zhang Minli, who she had just met.

"This is our Blue Star people’s lounge." Zhang Minli led Fu Yue to a sofa, where she sat down comfortably. "Every time we gather, we have this special room where we hang out."

"Do we not need to go to the banquet?" asked Fu Yue.

Zhang Minli skillfully directed the robots to set up food and drinks, saying, "Isn’t it nice here? Besides, we don’t usually bring pets to banquets."

The question is, what is the meaning of bringing them here?

While Fu Yue was still thinking, Zhang Minli had already set up the food. She sat on the sofa and patted the seat next to her, signaling Fu Yue to sit down, "We arrived early, everyone will be here soon."

Fu Yue didn’t really care about it. She pulled Zhang Minli over and asked something she had been curious about, "Are all Kurd people like Carter?"

Zhang Minli took a moment to understand Fu Yue’s point, "Actually, Carter seems to be the abnormal one. Kurds all seem to have expressionless faces. Especially your General Arnold at home, he seems to be called the Empire’s stone-faced general in private within the clan."

"Hahaha… what a weird nickname from ancient literature." Thinking of Arnold’s expressionless face saying lines like "Woman, you provoked me first," Fu Yue couldn’t help but laugh until tears welled up.

While chatting with Zhang Minli, Blue Star people kept arriving at the banquet hall. Thanks to the chips, even foreigners could communicate without any barriers.

After friendly interactions with everyone, Fu Yue found the Blue Star people here very easy to communicate with. The atmosphere was warm and pleasant for a while.

Later, someone suggested playing some games, and everyone got involved in setting up. The small banquet hall was transformed into a high-end club. In the dim lights, high-tech entertainment devices set up several projects for fun and play. The Blue Star people paired up and started playing inside.

After enthusiastically singing on one of the devices, Fu Yue returned to her seat to applause from everyone. She took a large cup of water from Zhang Minli, drank a few sips, and caught her breath.

"This water is so sweet."

"Silly, this is a very light kind of space wine, it has a mild hallucinogenic component, don’t drink so much at once."

Feeling a little bit tipsy, Fu Yue obediently put down the wine, turned her head to Zhang Minli, and in her slightly blurred vision, saw a red shimmer around Sister Minli, "Sister Minli, your red gemstone necklace is so beautiful!" Zhang Minli casually raised her hand, "Oh, this is just a locator. Although the gemstone can change colors, the style of the necklace cannot be altered. We have many of these at home."

Fu Yue glanced at her plain bracelet on her wrist, feeling dejected, she flopped onto the sofa. It’s true that in this world, comparison is the thief of joy. Fu Yue, who was just feeling proud of her promotion because of the white bracelet, suddenly found her bubble burst, not even enjoying her bubble tea anymore.

She frowned at the table full of food and complained, "Why do we always have Shaxian snacks and sweet tea from next door at our gatherings!"

"Of course, it’s because only these are available on our Blue Star people’s self-selected menu!" Zhang Minli said helplessly, "And these were chosen by all of us who came five years ago…" "Everyone? And this was the choice?" Fu Yue glanced at the table full of Shaxian snacks with a look that said, "Are you guys out of your minds?" as she looked at Zhang Minli.

"Ahem, we wanted to order takeout… And everyone here chose together, not just me." Zhang Minli nervously looked around, grabbed Fu Yue’s hand, and started praising, "This bracelet is really pretty, it seems very high-tech, where did you buy it?"

Fu Yue, "…" Should we talk about something else?

Looking around, Fu Yue noticed that all the chosen Blue Star people had one thing in common, "Hmm, everyone here seems to have great looks."

The group of people in front of her gave her a feeling of being at a celebrity red carpet event.

"You look great too," said Zhang Minli sincerely to Fu Yue, then laughed and mentioned, "And the ones who didn’t come are good-looking too. Sometimes I wonder if these Krud people choose based on looks, they all seem young and unmarried…" Zhang Minli’s voice got lower as she continued, and they both shared a look of knowing too much.

After a few awkward laughs, Fu Yue picked up a cup from the table and took a few big sips, only to realize she had mistakenly drunk several sips of wine.

Nervous because she had never drunk before, Fu Yue checked herself carefully.

No dizziness or shaking hands, seems okay?

Feeling confident, Fu Yue allowed Zhang Minli to pull her up and they started playing games in the hall.

When Arnold waited at the door for Fu Yue for a long time, Carter, who arrived late, seemed to understand the situation very well and patted Arnold’s shoulder, gesturing for him to go in, saying, "They are probably both asleep inside."

After being shocked by Carter’s previous mention of "liking", Arnold had been consciously keeping his distance from Fu Yue these past few days. So, he naturally ignored Kate’s invitation at this moment.

"Fu Yue will come out on her own."

Carter shrugged indifferently, "If you don’t go in, I will go in by myself."

Then he watched as Carter muttered to himself, saying something absurd like "Baby Minli, I’m here," and walked into the Blue Star People’s waiting room.

He didn’t have a particular liking for approaching Blue Star People’s Fu Yue without reason.

A minute passed by.

Arnold still stood straight at the door, sticking to his own thoughts.

Another minute passed.

Arnold frowned, wondering if something was happening inside? Carter was taking too long, why hasn’t he come out yet after going in for so long?

Let him go in and check if there is anything unexpected inside, just in case.

But as soon as he entered, he saw Fu Yue lying on the middle sofa. In the dim light, only where she was sitting lit up softly, displaying her pet’s soft fur and petite body, silently signaling to him.

Arnold saw her and let out a sigh of relief unconsciously. Then, he frowned when he realized what he had done.

Forget it, let’s take her out first.

But when Arnold was about to lift the soundly sleeping Fu Yue on the sofa, she squirmed irritably and dodged his touch.

Are these Blue Star people not asleep? Arnold couldn’t help but wonder.

Seeing his expression, Carter kindly suggested, "Why not just let the robots handle the transportation…"

Glancing at the robot standing by, Arnold remained silent. Despite that, he still tried to lift Fu Yue from the sofa. However, as his hands touched her soft skin, he remembered what Carter had mentioned about her preferences. This made him feel agitated.

He vented his frustration on Carter, saying, "Don’t invite me to any unnecessary gatherings in the future."

Carter understood and eagerly escorted Zhang Minli away, appearing excited as if he had obtained new research material.

Carter’s excitement over a simple drink was truly puzzling.

After being busy for a while, Arnold finally grabbed Fu Yue’s waist as she turned over, recalling Carter’s actions from before. He gently carried Fu Yue towards the landing spot of the spaceship.

The spaceship’s landing spot was located on a skyscraper over five hundred meters tall, directly facing an outer ventilation opening.

The strong wind woke Fu Yue up, and she climbed up from Arnold’s arms to take a look. She groggily smiled at the spaceship, then forcefully patted Arnold’s arm, shouting, "Where is my hoverboard? Bring my hoverboard to me! I am determined to board this spaceship on my own and show that stinky Arnold my abilities!"

Arnold, "…"
