Chapter 721: Universal Mining System (12)

Before leaving this time, she left two rare ores she had drawn from Blind Boxes for her family, telling them to sell them to buy medicine for Xie Bo.

She kept the remaining rare ores, including the most valuable Star Dust Crystal, for herself.

If one digs up a rare ore or two, others will think it is luck, but if the quantity is large, it becomes a crime to possess a treasure.

Additionally, she had wanted to leave a few Gold and Silver Ores for her family to improve their lives, but Xie Ba and Xie Ma firmly insisted they did not want them.

"Gold and Silver are Task ores; you should take them all back. What if you are short these few pieces when you need to turn in your Task next time? We are getting by fine for now, and even if you left them, your mother and I wouldn't have the heart to use them."

"Xie Yang, listen to your father and take them all! Don't worry about us at home; we are on our own planet, after all. It is you who loses contact the moment you enter a Mining Star, and we can't help you if you are lacking anything. Take everything you can!"

Not only did they refuse the Gold and Silver Ores Xie Yang offered, they even emptied their savings to prepare several Special Nutrient Solutions for her.

For instance, when one feels a headache or a sore throat and symptoms of a cold appear, drinking a Special Nutrient Solution can not only quickly suppress the illness but also fully replenish the various electrolytes the body needs.

They had prepared some last time, too.

Unfortunately, this type of Nutrient Solution is expensive and does not sell well on the Garbage Star, so there was little stock on hand. Ordering it from the nearest Habitable Star would take several days, and by the time it arrived, their daughter would have already gathered to head to the Mining Star.

Xie Yang thought this Special Nutrient Solution was good and decided to stock up on more later. In the future, when she travels to a Modern Plane, if she has a headache or a fever, she can just drink this; it is more effective than medicine and has no side effects!

"Hey! You look very young too; you wouldn't happen to have just come of age like me, would you?"

While gathering again, Xie Yang met a pretty and cute girl.

"My name is Aiwei, and I come from W0981 Exploration Star."

"My name is Xie Yang, and I come from W7744 Garbage Star."

As soon as Xie Yang finished speaking, she heard a burst of harsh laughter.

"W7744, a garbage planet that is of no use to the Federation and only holds us back at critical moments—is it even worth introducing so grandly?"

"Garbage stars should have been expelled from the Federation long ago. I really don't know what the point of keeping such a rotten planet is! It's a waste of taxpayers' money!"

"Yeah, yeah! They shouldn't have been allowed to be miners this term!"

"..."

Xie Yang raised her eyes to meet the people speaking—there were both men and women, and none of them were very old.

Judging by their clothes and appearance, they did not look like people who lacked money at home.

Why would they sign up to mine if they didn't lack money?

The next second, someone answered for her:

"He's here, he's here! Suheng is here!"

"Brother Su! We're over here!"

Following this excited voice, Xie Yang saw a tall, slender figure walking unhurriedly from the entrance, backlit by the light.

"Wow! It's actually Suheng!"

Aiwei, standing at her side, suddenly became excited as well.

Xie Yang asked curiously, "Is he some big shot?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the scene suddenly seemed to have been hit with a stop button; it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

A moment later, someone said to Xie Yang in a mocking tone: "No wonder you're from a Garbage Star! You don't even know Suheng! You really are a piece of garbage!"

"It's better that she doesn't know him! Brother Su wouldn't want to be remembered by trash from a Garbage Star!"

"Brother Su, Brother Su, come here! We've saved you a spot!"

"Hey, you stinking piece of trash, stop being an eyesore here and roll back to your Garbage Star! Didn't your mom and dad teach you what it means to be tactful? Oh! I almost forgot! The parents of trash are also trash! Of course they wouldn't understand human speech! Hahahaha!"

The smile on Xie Yang's face gradually cooled.

She shook her neat short hair and handed her luggage bag to Aiwei: "Please hold this for me."

Then, while loosening her wrists, she flew into a kick, sending the young man who had just spoken flying out of the gathering point. After he landed with a thud, he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

The scene was once again as quiet as if it had been muted.

Some people were dumbfounded, calling Xie Yang "truly brave" in their hearts.

She was still loosening her joints, and her foot had already struck. She really starts fighting without a word! Are people from Garbage Stars all this brave?

Xie Yang wasn't satisfied with kicking just one person; she looked around at the group and beckoned to them with a cold laugh: "Everyone who cursed me just now, step out voluntarily!"

"..."

Step out for what?

To take a kick from her?

They had just seen their companion get kicked until he vomited blood.

"Do as she says and step out."

Just then, Suheng's low voice sounded.

"Brother Su, we are..."

The leading young man opened his mouth to explain with a tearful face.

Swept by Suheng's indifferent gaze, he choked on his words and stepped out, trembling.

"I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't have cursed you."

The others looked at each other, and after a long while, they also stepped out hesitantly, mumbling "I'm sorry" in voices as soft as mosquitoes.

Xie Yang ignored them and kicked them out of the gathering point one by one, sending them to keep their companion company.

"Is an apology useful? What would we need laws for then?"

"..."

The onlookers had complicated feelings:

"Don't you think you've also broken the law?"

"Kicking a grown adult away with one foot, is this even human? Could it be a Robot?"

"Are people from Garbage Star all this fierce? Waaah! It's too terrifying!"

Suheng looked at her quietly, and after a while, he turned his head to look at her again.

This time, his gaze lingered on her face for a long while, and after a moment, he asked, "What is Xie Bo to you?"

Xie Yang was stunned for a moment, then replied truthfully, "My brother."

Before Suheng could say anything, someone among the pile of people lying in the distance shouted, "What! You're the younger sister of that traitorous brat Xie Bo?"

Xie Yang looked over abruptly.

That person shrank their neck, but their mouth remained quite aggressive: "I said people from Garbage Star are trash! I didn't curse wrong!"

"Exactly! Back then, Brother Su clearly could have avoided exposure, but just because he saved that brat, it made the Star Pirate leader suspicious. If it weren't for Brother Su being alert, he would have almost died at the hands of the Star Pirates. That brat, on the other hand, went home quietly after escaping, and didn't even hand over the intelligence he was supposed to give to the Federation military, causing my Brother Su to..."

"That's enough, Ya Ke! What's the point of bringing up past matters over and over again?"

Suheng interrupted the other party impatiently, then tossed a few vials of medicine at them: "Hurry up and clean up the bloodstains, it's filthy!"

"... Oh."

The effect of the Trauma Medicine in the Interstellar Era was so good that it worked in a second.

One moment these people were lying on the ground wailing about this pain and that pain, and the next second they were back to being full of life.

Under normal circumstances, Xie Yang would definitely have wanted to hoard some of this medicine, but at this moment, she was somewhat distracted.

She was still pondering the words of those people just now.

"System, help me check Suheng's background; it would be best if you could find the details of what happened after Xie Bo was kidnapped by the Star Pirates back then."

If you can't find a helper, look for the Main System.

The Main System was just worrying that there was no big gossip to consume in this plane, so it agreed immediately.
