But instead of picking up the parts, Haiâan wrapped his vines around Augusteâs hand and around his forefinger, dragging it out towards him. When Haiâan took Augusteâs hand, he put the broken zirconium in it.
Auguste pinched the zirconium element that was handed over by Haiâan and saw that it had been punctured, so that the original zirconium-gold solution could be extracted at any time. Auguste found several zirconium-gold shells lying beside Haiâanâs flowerpot, and the original zirconium-gold solution in them had disappeared.
Obviously it was absorbed by Haiâan.
Zirconium and gold can promote evolution, but it must be used as a raw liquid, and the extraction method of raw liquid was only known by the residents of Lota beta 11. But now Haiâan could also extract zirconium and gold. He had absorbed a lot of raw material, so maybe the reason Haiâan had grown very fast these days because of this.
Auguste picked up Haiâan and examined him. He found nothing special. He took out a bag containing zirconium and gold and drew out a handful of it.
âThis is for you as a snack.â Auguste put the element of zirconium and gold in a small cup and covered it. When Haiâan wanted to eat, he could push the lid aside and eat it without worrying that the element would float away.
Eat more and grow faster.
Haiâan hated it. These elements didnât taste at all. He wanted Augusteâs glass of milk.
Auguste was going to add the zirconium and gold element liquid in his hand to JianJianâs pot. Now, he was going to make more than just a pot.
Lydney took Carl to see the tree, and found that Lydney gave it a name that was supposed to match Haiâan: XiaXia (SeeSee)
It was kept on the main table in the room by Lydney, not on the bedside table like Auguste did, because Lydney felt a little scared if he woke up in the middle of the night and saw so many eyes staring at him with eyes wide open. The eyes of the Teardrop tree would only close halfway most of the time.
So Lydney named it XiaXia⊠==
This little pot had exceeded all of Lydneyâs expectations. Lydney began to congratulate the little boy on not buying the pot at the free auction, otherwise his parents would probably come to him to settle the accounts.
âIâll give you another gift.â Carl also found something wrong with his first gift to Lydney. Pure human beings were so fragile. What if they were frightened to death in the middle of the night?
Lydney waved his hand and laughed. âNo, Iâm used to seeing it and I even feel a little attached to it. After all, this is your first gift to me.â
Carl wanted to say something to persuade Lydney, but he closed his mouth after hearing Lydneyâs second sentence. He turned the subject around and cautioned Lydney carefully, âThe black market is dangerous, we are going to talk about business so just follow me, donât run around.â
âWell, I wonât go around and cause you trouble.â Lydney promised.
But Carl still felt uneasy. âMaybe you should just stay on the ship. Stay with Leston, he wonât get off. Stay with him and watch the ship.â
âWell, if thereâs any real inconvenience, Iâll stay.â Lydney knew that it was because he was a pure human, and he didnât want to drag down Carl.
âNo, no.â Carl changed his mind again. If Lydney stayed, wouldnât he be staying alone with Leston? How can this be done? He gave him the protective shield that Alia made for Lydney, and thereâs nothing wrong with protecting Lydney himself.
Carl finally decided to take Lydney off of the ship. âYouâd better go with us. You must have never been there before. Iâll take you out to play.â
âIâll ask Alia to prepare your weapons, and if anything really happens, you must remember to protect yourself, regardless of the rest of us.â Carl grabbed Lydneyâs shoulders and said this very seriously.
Lydney was stunned when Carl grabbed his shoulder, but he could not help being serious after listening to Carlâs words. This was the first time Carl spoke to him in such a serious tone. It seemed that the trip to the black market was not going to go well.
Just thinking about what Jamie said in the lobby about going to buy Carl a birthday present, Lydney asked him, âIs it true when Jamie said that youâre not yet an adult and he was going to buy you a birthday present?â
Carl was shocked that Lydney remembered it.
âHeâs talking nonsense. Iâm an adult.â Carl put down the hand that was on Lydneyâs shoulder, turned around and picked up the kettle and watered XiaXia to hide his slight discomfort.
Lydney quickly stopped Carl, he had watered the plant just that morning, it couldnât be watered more.
âWeâre actually going to take something.â
âTake it?â Lydney noticed Carlâs words.
âYes,â Carl added, âbut that should have been our stuff. We would buy it, no matter how much it costs, but since he doesnât want to sell it, we have to take it.â
Lydney was a little curious about what it was. âCan I know what it is?â
Carl thought that since Lydney was now a crew member, sooner or later, he should know something, so it should be okay to tell him.
âItâs an egg.â
âEgg?!â It was no wonder Lydney was so surprised. After seeing Carlâs enthusiasm for eggs, it was hard to believe that the egg he was looking for was not for food.
Lydneyâs eyes were so accusing that Carl immediately explained, âIâm not getting it to eat! That egg is really important to us.â After that, Carl took a deep breath and lowered his head. âIf this egg is harmed, Auguste will be upset, me too.â
Carl didnât say the rest, but Lydney knew how much the egg meant to them.
For a moment, both men were silent.
âLetâs not talk about that,â Carl said to Lydney earnestly, raising his head and wiping his face with his hand. âWhen are we going to have dinner?â
Lydney: ââŠâ
Didnât they just finish supper?
âMaybe we can sleep first,â Lydney implicitly told Carl that they should sleep.
Carl looked at his watch and realized that it was night. Lydney was a pure human and he needed sleep.
âOh, yeah, I wonât disturb you, so go rest,â said Carl, then he got up and went to the door. Lydney followed him to let him out of the room.
âGood night,â Carl said to Lydney at the door. âTomorrow Iâll wake you up, so sleep well.â
âOkay,â Lydney said to Carl with a laugh, âGood night.â
