I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

The insects crashed into the shield and even burst into flames due to the intense heat.

At this moment, the attack condensed by the Star-Shattering King Worm was also released.

The enormous energy blast, carrying unparalleled terror, flew towards Xing.

Ultimately, the Star Shattering King Insect's attack landed on Star's shield.

The once impenetrable shield suddenly developed tiny cracks.

But Xing did not back down at all, and frantically used the energy in her body to resist.

Volume 1: Chapter 356 Stars: How Many?

In the end, Xing barely managed to block the Star-Shattering Insect King's attack.

Xing was panting heavily, clearly having exhausted a lot of her strength from that attack.

But for the Starshattering Insect King, that attack was nothing.

Sensing that the life force within him was nearing its end, the Star Shattering Insect King became even more frenzied.

An even larger energy ball appeared on the back of the Star-Shattering Insect King. If this attack were to land, the star would likely be reduced to ashes.

"Three seconds left!"

From the moment the Star-Shattering Insect King broke through the cultivation chamber, Ruan Mei had been calculating how much time it had left.

Now there are less than three seconds left.

"Three, two, one! Time's up!"

The Star Shattering Insect King, which was about to launch an attack, suddenly lost all the energy it had gathered.

Even the body of the Star-Shattering Insect King was gradually disappearing.

At this moment, the Starshattering Insect King could only cry out helplessly, but it could not change its impending demise.

Even the insects it created all died when the Star-Shattering Insect King disappeared.

"Great data, I'll be leaving now!"

Especially the data she had just collected about the star, even though it was only for a minute, the fact that the star could compete with the Star Shattering Insect King was already beyond Ruan Mei's expectations.

Having obtained the data she wanted, Ruan Mei left without looking back.

Of course, Luffy didn't leave with her, but instead went to the testing ground below.

Xing lay exhausted on the cold ground; the battle had taken a toll on her.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Do I look like I'm alright?

Taking a deep breath, Xing forced herself to get up from the ground.

"Why didn't you tell me that the opponent was a clone of the Commander?"

Luffy gritted his teeth and looked at Luffy.

Even if Ruan Mei didn't say anything, Xing didn't believe that Lu Fu wouldn't know what she was facing.

We were supposed to be best brothers for life, and you treated me like this. Next time, I'll send you a picture from March 7th instead of Uncle Yang's!

"I've reminded you so many times before, but you never listen, so I've given up on saying it anyway, since you wouldn't listen!"

"Forehead……"

Luffy's words made perfect sense, and Xing couldn't even refute them.

"Let's go back first. Staying here any longer is pointless!"

"That's true, we just went in!"

Hearing this, Xing nodded. She didn't want to see the bugs at all now, and she never wanted to come to this place again.

As Luffy was right, the prettier the older woman, the more likely she is to lie.

Xing remembered those words firmly. If he encountered this situation again in the future, he would definitely go up and hit the stick first!

At this moment, Xing missed the Black Tower even more.

Although she has a sharp tongue, at least she won't treat me like Ruan Mei did.

Come back to the Black Tower, my proudest faith!

Back in Ruan Mei's laboratory, Ruan Mei, who had returned earlier, brought out another box of pastries when she saw the two of them return.

"Are you tired? Come and have something to eat to relax!"

"Hmph, trying to fool me again? I won't fall for it this time!"

Looking at the pastries that Ruan Mei brought out, Xing immediately remembered the pastries that Ruan Mei had given her before, which were laced with an anti-emetic.

Seeing the tempting pastries in front of her, Xing resisted the temptation.

It's a pity Xing isn't a kitten, otherwise she'd probably be breathing on it right now.

"Really? That's a pity. I specially added some medicinal herbs to this pastry to help you recover quickly. If you don't want it, would you like it, my dear?"

Seeing that Xing didn't eat, Ruan Mei wasn't angry. She turned to ask Lu Fu instead.

"Sure, no problem!"

Luffy also picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing Luffy eating so heartily, Xing couldn't help but swallow hard, and then asked.

"Luffy, are you alright?"

"No, what's wrong?"

While eating the pastries, Luffy replied.

"What do you think of her?"

At this moment, Xing also pointed at Ruan Mei and asked.

"It looks great, what's wrong?"

"It's really okay!"

Seeing that there didn't seem to be anything strange added inside, Xing's expression changed instantly.

"Let go of me! Ruan Mei gave this to me!"

As Xing spoke, she tried to snatch the remaining pastries from Luffy's hand.

"If you don't want it, who can you blame?"

"I don't care, I want to eat!"

In the end, Luffy couldn't resist Star's insistence, so after taking two pieces of pastry, he gave the rest to Star.

"Alright, darling, thank you so much for your help today!"

"Humph!"

Xing merely snorted in response to Ruan Mei's gratitude, completely refusing to accept it.

She almost lost all her gold coins to a bug of the Commander level today, how could she possibly catch it so easily!

"Then it's time to talk about compensation. I didn't bring much with me to the space station this time. How about I just transfer some credits to you?"

"Do you think everything can be solved with credits? Don't try to taint my soul with that stuff!"

She almost died today, how could Cricket Credits possibly compensate her?

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mei glanced at Xing with some surprise.

"I was being presumptuous. I didn't expect the nameless passenger on the train to have such backbone, remaining unmoved even by a billion credits."

"Of course!"

Xing nodded proudly, but then she froze when she remembered the number Ruan Mei had mentioned earlier.

"How many did you say?"

"Ten billion! After all, my experimental subject was indeed somewhat special. Besides the reward for you, this ten billion also includes hush money, but unfortunately you didn't take it!"

"Ah this!"

Xing was filled with regret at that moment. Just for the sake of saving face, she had now lost a billion dollars.

There was once a billion dollars in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. I only regretted it when I lost it.

Now, all Xing wants to say is...

"Where's the time machine? Help!"

Now Xing is too embarrassed to speak up.

"Since you don't want credits, I don't have anything else here. Hmm, I did create some little guys in my experiments before, you can have them if you like!"

"Isn't it something weird again?"

Thinking of the Star Shattering Insect King they had encountered before, Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, there's no danger this time. According to you, it's actually quite cute!"

As she spoke, Ruan Mei also took out pictures of her creations.

They are indeed quite cute, like little kittens wrapped in pastries with various patterns.

At that moment, Xing had a flash of inspiration.

This is, after all, a creation of Ruan Mei. As a genius, Ruan Mei must have many followers. Could I sell this thing to them?

Then you can set the price however you want, right?

Maybe we can earn back a billion!

But then Xing suddenly remembered something, and her expression became dejected.

It seems that Pam doesn't allow pets other than herself on the train.

Volume 1: Chapter 357 The Lost Strange Object

The thought of this outcome immediately dashed Xing's plans to make money from Ruan Mei's creations.

"Forget it, let them live on the Black Tower Space Station!"

Xing refused Ruan Mei's suggestion with a sorrowful expression.

At that moment, she seemed to see countless credits flying towards her.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

"Then what do you want?"

Seeing that Xing didn't want anything, Ruan Mei asked with considerable surprise.

Upon hearing this, Xing immediately fell silent.

After all, judging from his behavior just now, Xing was really too embarrassed to ask Ruan Mei for anything valuable.

Does this mean I'm now working for Ruan Meibai?

But just then, Luffy spoke up to help Xing out of the predicament.

"How about this? I remember Xing hasn't been with the Nameless Ones for very long, so her room must be quite empty. Why don't you, Ruanmei, give Xing some furniture or something?"

"I think this is good!"

Xing nodded as well.

After all, it was a gift from Ruan Mei, so it couldn't be anything ordinary.

Although it's not as good as a billion credits, it's still great if it makes my life more comfortable!

At that moment, Xing looked at Luffy with gratitude.

Good bro, I knew I was right about you. I'll definitely send you some private photos from March 7th next time!

"Would you like some furniture as a gift? No problem, I'll prepare it myself!"
