Chapter 574 Curiosity (Second update)
"Sister, I'm hungry, can we eat?"
"Take and eat."
Mina handed the basket in her hand to her older brother. The basket was filled with fruits that were not very good-looking.
"Okay, dinner is ready."
A swarm of children happily ran back with their baskets.
Mina suddenly remembered something, her expression changed and she quickly turned to look at Su Mo and Wenluosi.
"Oops, I forgot to ask you. Mr. Su Mo, and Miss Wenlos, have you eaten?"
"Well, I guess we haven't eaten, but we're not very hungry either."
Su Mo didn't know for a moment whether he should say he had eaten it or not.
"I'm going to get you some fruit. I'm sorry, because we are too poor, so we can't afford to eat bugs, so we can't entertain you well."
Mina couldn't help but lower her head when she said this. In her eyes, not entertaining important guests with highly nutritious bugs was a very rude thing.
A normal family can't afford fresh bugs, but they still have some dry goods.
But her family's situation is a bit special.
"No, no, it's great to eat fruit. Why eat bugs if you have nothing to do?"
Su Mo explained with a very embarrassed expression, fearing that Mina would not be able to figure out where she really got the bugs.
In fact, he didn't have much appetite today, which was probably due to those bugs.
In addition, Su Mo also murmured a little in his heart, having so many children, it would be a shame not to be poor.
Of course, complaints are complaints, and Su Mo would not say it stupidly.
"Really, then I'll get you some fruit?"
"No, we have it here."
Su Mo quickly handed the paper bag in his hand to Mina to see.
"Okay."
Mina stretched her head to look at the fruit in the paper bag and nodded quickly.
Ahem~
At this time, a coughing sound came.
Immediately afterwards, a very old man with gray hair and sickly walking walked out of the house.
"Mina, are you back?"
"Back, Grandpa."
"Oh, we have a visitor at home."
The old man in front of him also noticed Su Mo and Wen Luosi.
Mina quickly introduced: "Grandpa, these two are the friends I met in the Federation. Their names are Su Mo and Wen Luosi. Thanks to them, I was saved."
"She turned out to be my granddaughter's savior. I'm so grateful. But I'm ashamed to say that my family is too poor and has nothing to entertain."
Mina's grandfather said ashamedly.
"No, we don't need anything, just rest here for a while."
Su Mo replied politely.
At this moment, the deep voice of the forger's owner, the Devourer, suddenly sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"Who said it's not necessary."
"I"
Su Mo's expression froze, and he almost didn't get confused by the Devourer.
After he came back to his senses, he said in his mind to the owner of the forgery, the Devourer; "Stop making trouble, we are so poor here, what do we need?"
"There is something inside the house that will be of great use to me. Go get it."
The Forger Lord Devourer said without any politeness.
Su Mo frowned slightly, and he communicated with the owner of the forgery, the Devourer: "Are you sure? Don't make a mistake."
"I'm not wrong. The damaged high-level crystal energy power core device removed from the V-generation machine has a V-level energy crystal built in, which can recharge me. Such an advanced thing must have come from someone With their financial resources, there is no way for advanced civilization to exist. It is possible that they picked it up, and they probably don’t know it yet. If it was picked up near here. , then the Titan ruins may really exist, and the quality of energy crystals is divided into levels I to VI, which correspond to the energy needs of different civilizations. The energy crystals we found in the crater and on the Fortress were all I to VI. Level III, not even a shadow of Level IV can be seen, so this one is bound to be obtained.”
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, answered with certainty, and his attitude was very tough.
"I'm a little curious, how much energy did you charge to the Fortress of the Imprisoned Planet after you last absorbed it?"
"Eight percent."
"Why is there so little? If you absorb this V-level star, will it charge a lot?"
Su Mo also had a headache. This was so good that he couldn't afford it.
"If you dream of dying, just add five percent."
"How much energy do you need?"
"Don't worry about it. Just help me collect it. Your benefits are indispensable for me."
Su Mo was also a little speechless, but he didn't complain. After all, charging this guy is the most important thing. After all, the higher the charging level, the safer he is.
"I understand, just wait patiently and I will think of a way."
"Su Mo?"
At this time, Wenluosi's shout woke him up.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
Su Mo came to his senses and quickly apologized to Wenluosi.
"It's okay, Mina and her grandfather invited us in to sit for a while."
Wenluosi said to Su Mo.
"Okay."
After hearing this, Su Mo immediately agreed, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Great, let's go in."
Mina excitedly led Su Mo towards the big wooden house in front.
Mina's house is made of wooden structure. Although it is not very strong, it is big enough.
After entering the wooden house, we first came to the crowded living room. When we say the living room is crowded, it does not mean that the living room is small in the conventional sense, but because there are too many people.
I saw a child gnawing fruits one by one.
There is also a pile of messy mechanical debris piled up in this living room.
Su Mo immediately found the item that the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, wanted by name. It was pitch black, with spider web cracks on the surface, and a big hole on the left side. Looking inside, it was empty. , the inner walls are still rotten. It feels like a big rotten lump that can only be refurbished, and there is no way to tell that it is a good thing at all.
Su Mo did not mention such a thing immediately, but chose to ignore it and wait for the right opportunity to mention it.
So as not to make people feel suspicious.
At this time, Su Mo's attention fell on the children, and he also showed a wry smile.
He counted a little and found that there were thirteen children here, not including Mina.
"Mina, are these your brothers and sisters? You have quite a lot of brothers and sisters!"
Wenluosi asked in great surprise. She knew that in her impression, a family usually only had one or two children, and three would be enough.
"That's right, but that's not all. There are sixteen in our family, and I have a sister above me, but my sister is married, and my brother works on another mothership, not here."
Mina nodded and said.
When Su Mo heard this, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He felt that he still underestimated them.
I thought fourteen would be enough to hold up the sky, but it turned out to be sixteen.
At this time, several children ran over and looked at Mina eagerly.
"Sister, I've finished eating, but I'm still hungry." (End of Chapter)
