The Cubs Picked Up Are All Villains - Chapter 15

    This was the nine-tailed fox cub released by Rong Heng on the day of the auction. The cub was never seen again afterward. Unexpectedly, she not only escaped but also stole the nutritional supplements from his house.

    But food is not often found, but there are still a few people with sufficient food reserves like this family, so this time she took the courage to take eight tubes of nutritional supplements.

    Rong Heng clicked his tongue and walked out at a leisurely pace. Nota was ready to leave with eight tubes of nutrients in her arms.

    She has been in hiding since she escaped from the auction. The auction sent a lot of people were sent to look for her, and her tail was too conspicuous, so she didn’t dare to come out for too long every time. Only when she was really short of food would she come out.

    If she takes one tube every two days, it is enough for her to support herself for half a month.

    The tail behind her swayed slightly, Nota jumped on the window sill, and vigilantly checked around. After confirming that no one was around, she was about to jump out, but suddenly there was a somewhat familiar presence behind her, making her hair stand on end.

    Nota turned around with a wary look and saw Rong Heng at the door. The one who let her go that day.

    Although the other party looks like a cub, the aura on his body is the same as what she once felt in the adult nine-tailed fox clan, even stronger. The breath released by the other party made her feel dangerous’ even if she was saved by him once.

    The fluff on her body exploded, and Nota tensed. Her silver eyes looked at the other for a moment. After a while, she reluctantly put away half of the nutrient tubes in her arms on the windowsill.

    There are four tubes of nutrients left in her arms. If all are returned, she will be starving for the next few days and risk being caught.

    Rong Heng looked at the cub.

    She was wearing tattered clothes that he did not know where she picked up, the previously shiny fur had become dull and messy, and the exposed cheeks and arms were covered with smudges and scars. It seemed that after escaping from the auction, this cub had not had a safe life.

    He also knew that if such a precious cub was lost, the auction would definitely send a large number of people to search.

    The only surprise was that she can hide for so long. And it seemed that she became very accustomed to such a life, and had not fallen into the panic and fear of being exhausted.

    Her eyes were the same as ever. It’s a good seedling, it’s a pity.

    Rong Heng hummed lightly, glanced at the furry cub, and left as he had come.

    The irritating aura gradually disappeared and Nota’s tense body relaxed. She stared hesitantly in the direction Rong Heng had left in for a while. After making sure that the other party was not waiting to ambush her in the dark, she held the nutrient tubes in her arms and jumped out of the window.

    The remaining four nutrients were still on the windowsill.

    Ruan Shiqing came back in a racing shuttle.

    As soon as he parked the car in the yard, he saw the puppy squatting at the door, tilting his head to look at himself.

    Ruan Shiqing’s heart softened and he jumped out of the car. He strode forward, picked him up, and rubbed him randomly. “Is Snowball waiting for Dad to come home?”

    Rong Heng, who had just heard the sound and came out to see:… I can’t refute it anyway, you say yes, right?

    He gave up his defense and probed to see the racing shuttle in the yard. He has only seen this kind of rudimentary shuttle racing car in a video, and this is the first time he has seen the real thing.

    When Ruan Shiqing finally rubbed enough, Rong Heng jumped off and spun around the shuttle. The puppy was not big at first, but recently his injuries have healed a lot, and he became more rounded. He looked like a snowball rolling around the racing shuttle.

    Ruan Shiqing smiled.

    Seeing this scene, the little mermaid on the second floor wanted to shout out, but couldn’t make a sound, so he could only slap his tail anxiously and make an “aah” sound.

    09 has a wide range of hearing and immediately noticed the movement upstairs.

    He volunteered, “I’ll take the little master down!”

    It was really boring for the little mermaid to stay upstairs, Ruan Shiqing thought about it and agreed with 09’s proposal.

    09 went upstairs and carried the eager little mermaid out of the bucket. The little mermaid plus the tail is actually taller than him. But 09 felt that he was already a mature robot, and the little mermaid was still an immature cub, so he took out the attitude of an elder to take care of the cub. He wiped the water stains on the little mermaid before using a large towel to wrap him up and carry him downstairs.

    The little mermaid, who had never been downstairs except the day they moved, looked around curiously, his pale cheeks flushed with excitement.

    When she saw Ruan Shiqing, his eyes brightened, he pursed his lips and smiled shyly at him.

    “I was negligent. I’ll install a pool on the first floor for you in a few days. This way, you can also have a place for activities.”

    Ruan Shiqing glanced around, moved a large chair and placed it under the falling-star vine, and asked 09 to put the little mermaid down.

    The sun shone through the vines, and it was warm and pleasant.

    The little mermaid had just come out of the water, and, although the body was dry, the hair was still wet on the shoulders. He sat there wrapped in a large towel, like some kind of small animal whose fur was wetted by the rain.

    “The hair is a little longer too.” Ruan Shiqing dried his hair for him and asked, “Do you mind cutting it a little shorter?”

    The long blue hair is like algae in the water. It looks good, but it is inconvenient for the little mermaid.

    “Ah.” The little mermaid nodded obediently.

    Ruan Shiqing found scissors and cut his long hair short. The long blue hair was not discarded. Ruan Shiqing asked 09 to put it away and store it properly. He explained to the ignorant little mermaid, “This is the first time you cut your hair, so you should keep it as a souvenir.”

    “The baby teeth and hair the cub replaced are all moments in time, and they are properly collected bit by bit. They are the traces of growth when they are looked at in the future.”

    The little mermaid nodded heavily and smiled while he rolled his eyes. Rong Heng pouted.

    What is there to remember about this frizzy fur? That is, the artificial mermaid is too bald.

    If it were him, and every time the hair grew out, it would not be able to fit in a warehouse, He whispered.

    He set up the two cubs in the yard and let them bask in the sun. Ruan Shiqing found the Xiong brothers again and asked them to help find the necessary accessories.

    There are a lot of accessories needed to transform a racing shuttle, but most of them are ordinary things. They were easy to find, but it takes some time.

    Xiong Yuanyuan glanced at the list, and said happily, “We have some accessories ready-made; we will send them to you later. We will go to the junkyard to find the rest, but if we can’t find them, we will go to the market to buy them.”

    The two brothers had saved a lot of spare parts. Others refused to accept their things, but Ruan Shiqing did. But before Ruan Shiqing’s repair shop had not opened, they were worried that Ruan Shiqing would not be able to use them, so they were too embarrassed to take them out. Ruan Shiqing did not refuse and calmly agreed.

    After the two brothers received the job, they went to find the parts energetically. Ruan Shiqing asked 09 to take care of the cubs, while he went to the workshop to think about the overall design of the racing car.

    The running principle of the shuttle car is very simple, that is, the two jet engines and the anti-gravity shuttle are connected by a control cable. As long as the engine has enough power, the speed of the shuttle car can theoretically be fast enough.

    But the difficulty here is that jet engines are very old, and their power and size are positively related. The larger the engine, the higher the power, the greater the power, and the faster the speed. But, there is a limit to the size of the shuttle car, and Luther does not have star coins to replace a better engine.

    So he had to find a way to improve the existing engine so that it would have more power while maintaining the current volume.

    Ruan Shiqing pondered for a while, but there was no better solution for a while, so he prepared to check the information on the Internet – his scientific and technological understanding of the world is still superficial, and now only through continuous practice, encounter problems, and then solve the problem in a targeted manner, confirming and comparing the knowledge of this world with what you have learned in the original world, to expand your cognition of the world.

    The smart brain changed into a neuron link helmet, Ruan Shiqing put on the helmet and logged into the holographic network.

    This is the first time he has logged into the holographic network in an immersive way since he bought back the smart brain.

    A steady mezzo-soprano sounded in his ears, “Welcome to the holographic world, I am your guide, Noah.”

    In the holographic space, Ruan Shiqing looked at his new body in amazement in the mirror.

    The young man in the mirror had black eyes and red lips, with clear outlines. His short hair was slightly curly, thick, and black. He was a little alienated when he is not smiling, but when he smiles, the alienation is instantly broken, and the eyes are full of tenderness. He was 1.82 meters tall, with a thin waist and long legs. His complexion was cold and white, and blue blood vessels could be vaguely seen under his thin muscles. This was not his current body, but his original body.

    If you look closely at this body now, you will find that the facial features are very similar to him, but because of a long-term lack of clothing and food, and stunted growth, everything looks thin and haggard.

    Since he had passed through, his life has gradually improved, and his thin and dry body has begun to regenerate and gradually become more abundant. But, he didn’t have the habit of looking at his body.

    Ruan Shiqing looked in the mirror for a while before asking, “Noah, is my current appearance the same as my spiritual body?”

    This was just his speculation. There was also a holographic network in his original world, and his initial appearance after logging in was consistent with his spiritual body. It’s just that the login method was not so convenient, and it needed to be achieved through the holographic cabin.

    Noah gave a positive answer, “Yes, sir, this is your initial appearance, do you wish to spend a thousand star coins for disguise?”

    “No.” Ruan Shiqing was quite satisfied and said, “I want to find information about the design of the shuttle racing car, can you help me find some professional books or forums?”

    “Of course.” Noah’s voice brought a little smile. “The mechanic forum has the information you need, did you wish to log in to the forum?”

    Mechanic Forum? Ruan Shiqing was stunned for a moment, this unfamiliar word confused him, but after a little hesitation, he nodded in agreement. No matter what forum it was, he would log in to see it clearly.

    Noah got the instruction and said calmly, “Please wait a moment, I need to spend three minutes cracking the forum encryption and choose a suitable registration identity for you.”

    Ruan Shiqing: ? ? ? ? What? Is the Interstellar Age forum so strict?

The author has something to say:

    Noah: Noah can do anything.

    Ruan Shiqing:? I just want to find some information.

(T/N TBH though, I’m kinda glad this is not one of those futuristic mecha/gamer/war sort of novels, cuz that’s just too many technical words I’d have to deal with. This is simple enough and doesn’t make it the entirety of the plot.)
