Energy Stone
Clean Knife was stunned. He could not help but feel vexed over Sanniang's death, but when he saw Xia Fei's eyes that were as calm as still water, he gave up on that thought.
It was a murderous look, and as an assassin, Clean Knife knew very well what that meant. He was very curious as to what had caused Xia Fei to become even more ruthless in the short span of two months.
"Stay here," Xia Fei said in a deep voice. His meaning could not be any clearer. If he did not do as he said, he would take his life.
Clean Knife did not like being threatened, but the increasingly painful wounds on his body forced him to do as Xia Fei said. Nodding his head lightly, Clean Knife took out some medicine from his spatial ring to treat his wounds. He also put away that silver butterfly knife, indicating that he would not do anything rash.
Xia Fei quickly opened the outer shell of the little robot Dou Dou, his hands flying as he used all sorts of tools to rapidly repair the damaged body structure.
"Are his injuries serious?" Phantom asked with concern.
"Quite serious, especially the energy system."
* Pa! *
Xia Fei pulled out an energy system control valve from one of the damaged combat robots, preparing to use it on Dou Dou at the last minute.
Alas, this robot was not dead yet. It grabbed Xia Fei's leg with one hand and stammered, "Robots protect humans, so robots must kill humans. Robots protect humans, so robots must kill humans …"
He repeated this sentence over and over again, and Phantom glared at him. "That's the most ridiculous thing to say. How can killing humans be considered protection?! I don't think the AI of these robots is that great, either. They can't even pass the most basic logic. "
Xia Fei did not say a word. He broke free from the robot's hand and quickly returned to Dou Dou's side, continuing his repair work.
…
Time passed, and the robot Dou Dou gradually recovered its functions, babbling nonstop to the side.
"Master, do you have any orders? Master, do you need Dou Dou to make coffee for you? Master, do you need Dou Dou to massage your back? "
Phantom could not help but laugh. "That seems to be what he usually says. You don't say, this little robot is quite cute; its voice is just like a child's. How nice would it be if I were still alive? I really want to try the coffee brewed by a robot."
"I can tell you after I try." Xia Fei smiled. His finger lightly pressed on the last connecting tube, and the robot Pod sat up with a whoosh.
The knowledge that Xia Fei had accumulated over the years regarding robots finally came in handy at this moment!
He only used some temporary parts to repair the little robot!
"Master! You finally came back to pick up Doudou! "
The little robot hugged Xia Fei's neck like a child. Though there were no tears, it sounded like it was really crying.
Xia Fei was speechless. I am not your master.
"Master! You can't abandon Doudou! "Unexpectedly, he cried even louder.
"Forget it. Perhaps the system is confused. Just agree to it first," Phantom said.
Xia Fei nodded and then tried to order, "Pod, tell me where this place is."
Lil Pea hurriedly nodded and said, "Master, this is the mining center codenamed 15421. It specializes in the production of high-grade energy crystals. The highest daily output is 1.75 cubic meters …"
"Energy stones? What's that?" Xia Fei asked.
Doudou rushed out of the room with a whoosh, muttering, "Energy stones. Master needs energy stones; Doudou will go get them."
Xia Fei and Phantom laughed heartily. This little robot was truly adorable, actually caring so much about a human's orders. It was even more professional than a first-rate human servant. At the very least, its loyalty was unparalleled. Just look at how it had risked its life to protect a human. If it were a human, would it be willing to risk everything to protect others?
Xia Fei turned to look at Clean Knife, only to see a puddle of blood where he had been, and he had disappeared to who knew where.
Xia Fei frowned, not saying a word.
Phantom was somewhat vexed. "If I had known earlier, I would've killed him. He escaped again! What exactly do you want to ask by keeping him alive? "
Xia Fei answered, "I want to know how he was able to tell that I've been to Heritage Planet and what he knows about it. Don't you think it's very strange? Why is he able to know what I've been through while I know nothing about him? "
Phantom nodded. "That's indeed very strange. Could he really have some special ability? Is he able to tell if anyone has been to Heritage Planet before? If that's the case, this person might be of some use. You can rely on his ability to find out who has been to Heritage Planet, then kill them and obtain the pass to go there again.
"Though Heritage Planet is a dangerous place, it's very beneficial to your cultivation. However, this Clean Knife is even more cunning than a loach, so you'll have to treat him seriously."
Xia Fei clenched his fists. "Don't worry. The same thing won't happen again."
A few moments later, Doudou came to Xia Fei's side with a purple stone in his hand, handing it over to him.
Xia Fei took a look and could not help but be shocked!
"Purple Heart of Spirit! This is actually a mine for Purple Hearts of Spirit! "
The huge stone was in the shape of a heart, and it was even bigger than the one Xia Fei originally owned, its luster even more crystalline!
"This is an energy stone. Master, do you need more?" Doudou asked.
"There's more?!"
"Yeah, there's still plenty in the warehouse." Doudou nodded.
"Hurry and take me there!"
…
"Xia Fei, you've struck gold! You've struck gold! I reckon that not even the entire Alliance has as many Purple Hearts of Spirit as there are in this warehouse! "Phantom excitedly exclaimed.
The hundreds of alloy storage boxes were all filled with this crystalline purple ore, and the quantity was probably in the hundreds of tons!
There were very few Purple Hearts of Spirit in the Alliance, and most of them were smuggled in through the insectoid territory. Xia Fei had no idea how much so many Purple Hearts of Spirit were worth, but he was certain that it would be an astronomical figure that would drive anyone crazy!
There were also many mining robots in the corner of the warehouse. They had thick and stocky appearances, but it looked like they had not been used for a very long time, for all of them were quietly leaning against the corner like terracotta warriors.
"Master, the mining center has been operating while you were gone, all the way until we've mined out all the veins. There's a total of four hundred and seventy-three boxes of energy stones in the warehouse, each box containing one ton of ore."
