Colonial Suit

Bloodshot turned his head and immediately saw Shala's fiery figure flash past him, a gust of fragrant wind blowing in his face. When she stopped, a pair of surging 'weapons' were already in front of him.

Looking up, Bloodshot saw a group of jealous, fire-breathing eyes. Seventy percent of the men in the entire bar were staring at him intently, their eyes full of hatred.

"Hey, my baby. Did you miss me?" Shala chuckled seductively, raised two fingers to lift Robbie's chin, and lightly kissed Robbie's face before turning her gaze to Bloodshot.

"You even brought a friend. Hello, I'm Shala."

"Bloodshot." Bloodshot nodded, his expression a little indifferent. He was always blunt with people other than Robbie.

However, Shala obviously didn't care about Bloodshot's attitude. She had seen all kinds of people running a bar here. What kind of customers hadn't she seen? She simply leaned her body and sat directly on Robbie's lap before saying with a charming smile, "Robbie, you caused me a lot of trouble last time. How are you going to compensate me? Hundreds of people were injured, and the medical expenses are a large sum."

"Hey, Shala, you know I won't be short of that money," Robbie said awkwardly.

"That's what I like to hear." Shala raised an eyebrow, a wild glint in her eyes. "But what if I don't want you to compensate with money?"

"Shala, what exactly do you want?" Robbie immediately became alert, his hands reflexively grabbing his collar. He looked like a young girl facing molestation.

"Hehe, don't be nervous." Seeing Robbie's reflexive reaction, Shala was amused. She reached out and gently stroked Robbie's cheek, then stuck out her nimble little tongue and licked Robbie's earlobe, whispering, "Darling, don't you think this is a wonderful night? Don't you want… to have a fiery girl dispel your travel fatigue when you go to sleep? Believe me, it won't cost you anything…"

"Oh, no!" Robbie groaned. "This is exactly what I'm most worried about. Shala, don't joke around. Last time you said this, I had to fight over a hundred men. What are you going to do today? Just tell me, I'll help you if I can."

"But not for free…" Robbie secretly added at the end.

"Tch, no sincerity at all. Not fun." Shala finally had enough fun. She curled her lips in disdain, and immediately a burly man trotted over to light a cigarette for her. Shala took a deep breath, then opened her red lips and exhaled a smoke ring.

"I just want to know your identity. Robbie, you caused a lot of trouble here last time, and I was the one who cleaned up the mess for you. Don't you even have this much sincerity? Besides, you can fight a hundred people, which really makes me curious."

"Oh, Shala, that was trouble you caused, okay?" Robbie rubbed his temples with a headache. "You should know how eye-catching you are in this town."

"Ha, are you praising me? Robbie, I'm so happy." Shala put on a seductive look again, which made Robbie feel cold all over.

However, seeing that Robbie didn't intend to reveal his true identity, Shala didn't press him. She had seen all kinds of people and knew that a powerful man like Robbie must have his own taboos. If she inquired rashly, she might also encounter trouble. The reason she came here was partly because she was really attracted to Robbie and liked this priest who was full of sunshine, and partly, of course, to build relationships.

A powerful man is always best suited to be a friend, right?

After flirting with Robbie for a while, Shala casually beckoned a waitress to order a lot of drinks for them. Then she winked at Bloodshot and said affectionately, "Hi, Bloodshot, if you and Robbie need anything, just say so. This is my territory. Since it's your first time here, it's on me today. Also, if you're lonely tonight, tell Shala… Shala will definitely arrange a girl to your satisfaction…"

With that, Shala kissed Robbie on the face again and swayed her round hips as she walked away… Watching her seductive appearance, Bloodshot heard a chorus of swallowing sounds.

Robbie embarrassedly wiped the lipstick from his face and said to Bloodshot, "Isn't she very enthusiastic?"

"I don't know if she's enthusiastic, but I know she must have taken a fancy to you," Bloodshot replied blankly. "No wonder you said you knew a good place, there's a reason."

"Ha… haha… you're joking," Robbie said awkwardly, then reached out and picked up a glass of wine. "Try it, MS1's unique sand date wine, made with the best sand dates. The sand date wine here is the best in the entire MS1."

"Who knows if it's the wine or the person that's good…" Bloodshot shrugged and made a rare joke.

The juice of sand date wine is very special. At first, it has only a rough sweetness, like the wind and sand of the desert, rough and powerful. But with careful tasting, there is also a delicate fragrance that is endlessly memorable. Sand date wine is not strong, but it has a great kick. Bloodshot only drank a few glasses before putting it down. Then he held out his hand to Robbie.

"What are you doing?" Robbie was stunned.

"Give me a few nutrient solutions. My physical strength is greatly depleted," Bloodshot said.

"Are you kidding me?" Robbie's eyes widened. "Nutrient solutions have to be bought with star coins, and they're not cheap. I only gave you some last time because you were injured. Do you think I'm a supply depot? Besides, you're a vassal now, why don't you buy it yourself?"

"I just became a vassal, I have no money," Bloodshot replied matter-of-factly.

"\u0026…%￥%" Robbie almost fell headfirst on the table. He gritted his teeth for a long time before taking out a few nutrient solutions from his priest's robe and throwing them in front of Bloodshot.

"Use them sparingly. This stuff is best for replenishing post-battle consumption. But it's not cheap. You can't treat it like a snack."

"Got it," Bloodshot replied blankly, then opened a nutrient solution in front of Robbie and injected it directly into his body.

"…I knew I was wasting my breath," Robbie sighed. He stopped nagging.

Bloodshot closed his eyes and carefully felt the nutrient solution entering his blood vessels. Speaking of which, it wasn't that he was impatient, but that he had consumed a lot of energy after the battle with Hector. This was still the result of not using high-frequency weapons. If he had used them, he believed the energy consumption would have been even more astonishing.

Although this part of the energy could be replenished by eating, Bloodshot had his own ideas.

The evolution of the colony and energy acquisition are inseparable, and how much energy can be obtained from eating? To put it bluntly, it's already good enough to support the colony's combat. Now that Robbie provides nutrient solutions, it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.

The nutrient solution was quickly absorbed. Bloodshot could feel a new energy entering the energy pool. Only then did he open his eyes.

"Very good stuff. I'm always surprised when I see you."

"I didn't hear that," Robbie replied with a look of indignation. After a while, he smiled at Bloodshot. "How's life as a vassal?"

"Not bad, this is my first mission," Bloodshot replied. "How about you?"

"I'm fine too. You know, the treatment for cosmic mercenaries is very high. I already own my own shuttle. And fifty service personnel. Of course, I have to pay their salaries," Robbie smiled. Then he said seemingly casually, "I think I heard Mia say that you were fighting Hector before, what happened?"

"He killed my introducer," Bloodshot told Robbie about Zero and Heng.

"So that's how it is. Then you have to be careful. I know Lunbeck. He's not easy to deal with," Robbie's expression became serious. "He's a Meteor Warrior, the same level as your Lord Hensel. It is said that his relationship with Lord Hensel is not good. The two of them had a fight because of competition. But because of his strength, Lord Lunbeck suffered a bit. Cosmic mercenaries are like this, competition comes not only from the outside, but also from the inside. It's just because of the mercenary rules that the two maintain a superficial peace."

"But I recently heard that Lord Lunbeck is coming to this mercenary branch as well. At that time, he will definitely conflict with Lord Hensel. You have to be careful not to get involved. The battle of Meteor Warriors is not something we can touch. The aftermath alone is enough to kill us a thousand times."

"Are Meteor Warriors that powerful?" Bloodshot said in surprise.

"Of course, don't you know the mercenary grading?" Robbie rolled his eyes. His face was helpless. "Trainee, Meteor, Comet, Meteorite, Planet, Star. These represent different levels of strength. Among them, Trainee is like me, not very strong. But starting from the Meteor level, the strength of each level is vastly different. Starting from the Comet level, they have Destruction Skills. That's a terrible skill, the embodiment of the highest martial force of cosmic mercenaries. It is said that its power can change the planet's topography and even cause crustal movement."

"Lord Hensel and Lord Lunbeck are both Meteor Warriors, their Destruction Skills must be terrifyingly strong. So you must avoid it. Of course, the two Lords will not spread the fight to you, at most it's a battle between vassals."

Speaking of this, Robbie looked at Bloodshot with ill intentions. "Your luck is really good, you actually encountered such a thing just after becoming a vassal. Lord Lunbeck's vassals are quite powerful. You're in trouble."

"That's not important, is it? Besides, don't I have you as a friend?" Bloodshot replied without changing his expression.

Robbie immediately spat out a mouthful of wine and coughed repeatedly.

"Don't joke around, cosmic mercenaries are not allowed to intervene in the battle of vassals. I wouldn't dare to help you beyond my level. If that kind of situation really happens, I can only give you a suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

"Be careful of the Queen of Hearts…"
