Star Rank Hunter

Early in the morning, old man Chang had already opened his small repair shop. k First update

In this area, most people don't have extra money to buy another shop, and they convert part of their house into a shop. Some houses are shops on the ground floor and housing above them; some are shops in the front and housing in the back. In short, the shops and houses are basically connected together, so this area feels crowded, and the distribution is irregular. From a high altitude, it looks like an irregular cracked ground.

The surrounding houses are not high, most of them are two or three storeys, and few are five or six storeys. Small dilapidated aircraft flying over the buildings and speeding cars that are as old as Udo's old dilapidated car can be seen everywhere.

Chang Laohan’s house is not big in terms of floor area, but it has three floors. The first floor is used as a store, and the second and third floors are accommodation areas. Perhaps it was because of the large population back then that there were more rooms.

The room Xilin stayed in was only one of the bigger ones. It used to be the old man Chang's. Later, the old man changed to live with his four grandchildren in order to take care of his young grandchildren.

Although the triplets are only five years old, they are very sensible and small, and they have helped Old Man Chang a lot. Just like now, after old man Chang opened the shop door, Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba helped pass the parts and wiped the machine, and brought a glass of water when old man Chang was tired.

Chang Xiaoba is with the girl, the kid who hid at the door before and approached Xilin from the very beginning, he is not as relaxed when seeing strangers as his two elder brothers, but judging by the look in the little guy's eyes, he knows that this is actually a clever baby.

"Grandpa, Xiaoqi is going to bother that brother again, and won't come to work!"

Chang Xiaoba handed Old Man Chang a glass of water, pouted and complained.

The triplets used to work together, but now only Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba are here to help, and Chang Xiaoqi, that mischievous guy, ran away again.

Old man Chang patted his little granddaughter's head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I told Xiao Qi, it's fine to watch from the sidelines, but don't disturb people's rest. Xiao Qi will come down later when she gets bored."

My grandson, the old man Chang, knows that Xilin sleeps most of the time now, so that he can recover faster, so when Chang Xiaoqi goes, Xilin is probably sleeping, no one pays attention to Chang Xiaoqi, so Chang Xiaoqi is alone I can't stay idle there, just watch and come down later.

It's not that old man Chang is not wary of outsiders. It's just that old man Chang in Xilin is too sympathetic to come out to perform space maintenance missions at a young age. Although his family's conditions are poor, old man Chang will never let his grandchildren develop in that direction. Thinking of his similar experience when he was young, the old man Chang couldn't help sighing: Xilin, this child, is suffering.

However, this time the old man really guessed wrong. Chang Xiaoqi really stayed for a long time this time, why?

When Chang Xiaoqi curiously went upstairs to see the elder brother who had eaten, slept, and taken medicine, he saw a gray cat squatting on the low table next to the bed as soon as he entered the door.

Because old man Chang couldn't get away from work once he entered work, he basically prepared food and pills here and put them on the table, and he could eat them directly after Xilin woke up.

But now, Chang Xiaoqi saw the cat that was judged to be dead for a long time was squatting on the low table with its head buried in the food prepared for the patient. Chang Xiaoqi opened his mouth wide, a little dazed.

Sensing the movement on Chang Xiaoqi's side, the gray cat raised its head and glanced at Chang Xiaoqi listlessly, and continued to eat hard after judging that there was no threat.

Originally, Chang Xiaoqi wanted to call his grandfather and Xiaoliu Xiaoba to come and see, but he thought that his grandfather said not to make loud noises in the patient's place, but now Chang Xiaoqi is very curious and doesn't want to leave.

After all, as a child, it is difficult to suppress curiosity together. …

Chang Xiaoqi looked at the gray cat, then carefully moved over there slowly. The gray cat didn't raise its head until Chang Xiaoqi walked to the low table, but its ears followed Chang Xiaoqi's actions.

Chang Xiaoqi bit her finger, seeing that the gray cat hadn't looked at him, she lowered her voice and whispered, "Kitten!"

The gray cat flicked its ears, but still didn't look up.

There are two reasons why the gray cat ignored Chang Xiaoqi. First, it was eating, and was in no mood to pay attention to this little kid with almost zero fighting power; second, it couldn't understand what the little kid was saying at all.

Chang Xiaoqi continued to bite her fingers, yelled twice and still ignored the gray cat, she became more courageous, raised her fleshy little fat hand with a nest, pointed at the cat's head, and poked!

Take it back immediately after poking it, this little kid still has some eyes.

The gray cat finally raised its head and took a look at Chang Xiaoqi, its eyes were still lazily half-opened, and its mouth was still chewing. Blinking lazily, he lowered his head and continued to struggle with the food.

Chang Xiaoqi became energetic now, and continued to poke after the gray cat lowered its head.

But the second time it didn't poke, when the cat's head was about to be poked, the gray cat raised its forelegs and patted it down, stepping on it. The gray cat did not stretch out its sharp claws. After so many years of contact with humans, it still has a basic understanding.

After this series of actions, the gray cat still didn't look up, stepped on Chang Xiaoqi's little fat hand and continued to eat hard.

Chang Xiaoqi, who was stepped on by Xiaopang's hand, didn't cry but laughed instead - it didn't hurt!

Of course it didn't hurt, the gray cat didn't use much force or stretch its claws, but the soft pads on the soles of its feet made Chang Xiaoqi very comfortable.

Chang Xiaoqi became bolder and became more playful. He took out his little fat hand and immediately covered the gray cat's foot.

The gray cat finally raised its head again, stretched out its tongue to lift its mouth, and looked at Chang Xiaoqi. The little kid is looking at it happily now.

He yawned lazily, and prepared to lick his paws habitually. Realizing that something was wrong, he pulled out the soles of his feet from Chang Xiaoqi's Xiaofei's hand, licked them, wiped his face, and then covered Chang Xiaoqi's paws again. Seven's little fat hands.

Chang Xiaoqi laughed "Kaka" with joy, pulled out his hand, and covered it again.

Gray Cat: "..."

...

So, when Xilin woke up, he saw these two childish guys playing a game of stacking paws.

Xilin dared to bet that the cat was definitely not fully awake, otherwise it wouldn't be so patiently folding its palms with a little Douding.

Chang Xiaoqi is so happy that he can't wait to jump up, alas, childish children are so happy.

Sensing the situation on Xilin's side, the gray cat finally opened its half-opened eyes, retracted its paws, flicked its tail and slapped the little boy lightly, and jumped to the side of Xilin. It didn't dare to jump directly on Xilin. Now that Xilin is recovering, it's better to avoid it.

"Xilin, you're finally awake!" The gray cat came over and said happily now that it was finally awake.

When it woke up, it was also in a very bad condition. After checking it, there are many mechanical products around here, but they are all low-end goods. I don't know where it is. I didn't bother to care too much, but after supplementing food, I have recovered a little.

Chang Xiaoqi bit her finger and looked at them, but didn't understand Gray Cat's words. But this cat meows differently from other cats!

Xilin stroked the gray cat's head, then smiled at Chang Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi, do you have any food, bring some for brother."

"Yes!" Chang Xiaoqi grinned and rushed out with short legs, the storage cabinet was not far away.

Although Chang Xiaoqi can't speak the language of the imperial capital, but he can understand a little bit, and Xilin has learned some of the rumors here in the past few days, so the basic conversation between the two is no longer a problem.

Hearing the language spoken by Xilin, the gray cat looked at Xilin suspiciously, "I have never heard of the language you speak."...

"This is not the Star Alliance, it should be at the other end of the space-time vortex, so before you learn the language here, just be an ordinary cat."

The gray cat shook its beard, "Are you saying that I want to meow like a cat?"

Xilin looked at the gray cat with the expression of you talking nonsense: "You are a cat in the first place."

"Okay, but I will be able to learn the language here soon." It will not take a minute to understand the language here through the machinery here.

"By the way, Xilin, you don't look right now." The gray cat raised its paw and pointed to Xilin's face. When it woke up, if it wasn't too familiar with the induction with Xilin, it really thought that the guy lying next to it was someone else.

"It doesn't look right?"

Xilin stood up and saw his current situation through the image reflected by a small metal plate not far away, and couldn't help laughing.

It seems that when passing through the space-time vortex, the genes perform a phenotype reset and return to their original appearance.

Now Xilin has returned to the appearance on Brown Saturn, and his body and skeleton have also undergone slight changes. Xilin rubbed his face, feeling in his heart that this face is still pretty and pleasing to the eye, no matter how artificially changing the genetic phenotype, it is still not as comfortable as the original one.

"This is what I used to be," Xilin said.

"Oh~" The gray cat took a closer look at Xilin curiously. I heard Cary and the others say that Xilin has other appearances, but I didn't expect that only now is the real appearance.

Xilin briefly told the gray cat about their general experience after being sucked in by the space-time vortex. If it weren't for the old Chang family, Xilin didn't know how long he would have stayed silent in this strange galaxy space.

"The little guy who played the paw-stacking game with you just now is Chang Xiaoqi, one of the triplets."

The gray cat was going to explain that it was because he hadn't woken up when he played childish games with that little kid, but when he heard Chang Xiaoqi's footsteps, he stopped talking and started talking to everyone in the area. Those who mechanically "communicate" and learn new languages.

Chang Xiaoqi came over with a big plate, on it was a large piece of meat from an unknown animal, and beside the meat were two small fish, which seemed to be specially prepared for the gray cat.

The things on the plate were quite heavy, and Chang Xiaoqi was carrying them holding his strength. Xilin quickly took them over and patted Chang Xiaoqi's head, "Thank you, Xiaoqi, it's still warm. Xiaoqi made it by himself? Very capable Well!"

"No...it's nothing difficult!" Chang Xiaoqi looked at the gray cat and laughed.

Xilin took the plate that the gray cat had just eaten on the low table, put the two fish on it, and said in the common language of the empire with an accent: "Hulu, this is Xiao Qi's wish,"

The gray cat has already mastered the language in this short period of time, and can understand Xilin's words. Then she bared her teeth at Chang Xiaoqi, expressing that she knew. Jump to the plate and start eating the fish.

You don't need to eat it, just by smelling it, you can tell that the fish doesn't taste very good. But now the gray cat isn't picky about anything anymore, and has devoted itself to dealing with the two fish.

"Won't Xiaoqi eat it?" Xilin cut a piece of meat and handed it to Chang Xiaoqi.

Chang Xiaoqi shook her head, "I'm not hungry!" But her eyes were fixed on the gray cat, and Xiao Fat raised and lowered her hand, looking like she really wanted to touch the gray cat.

Xilin smiled and began to eat the meat on the plate.

Everything in this plate comes in compressed capsules. This relatively cheap compressed capsule is commonly used by these low-level people. It is convenient and time-saving. You only need to put the selected capsule into a special machine and press the button, and it will be ready in half a minute.

Even though the operation is very simple, it is really not easy for a five-year-old child like Chang Xiaoqi to be able to complete these things independently. The children of the poor are already in charge of their families.

While eating, Xilin looked at the leaf curls on his hand. This thing was like a navigation needle, drawing Xilin to this place. Otherwise, it would be impossible that only Xilin had changed and the others had not been sucked in. …

The original family should be in the star field of the imperial capital mentioned by old man Chang.

Different from the management system of the Star Alliance, this planet belongs to the 23rd star domain of the 26 star domains of the Lansa Empire, but it is just an inconspicuous small planet.

In the original galaxy, the genotype determines the future, but here, even if you have good innate conditions, it is difficult to get ahead without a good birth. Many people who are judged by the A-level genetic standard in the Star Alliance have served as guards for some noble children with not very good genes and no ability. Then, human life is worthless.

Take a look at the food on the plate. Although these capsules are relatively cheap, they are meat after all. The poor will not eat them for a long time, and their meager economic resources cannot afford to live on them all the time. I believe that Chang's family doesn't have much, and the compressed capsule food that Xilin ate is probably Chang's daily food.

Old man Chang loves his grandchildren very much, which can be seen from their food. Adhering to the principle of suffering nothing but suffering children, the old man Chang has spent a lot of effort in the care of these little guys, and the family's savings have not improved much. It is estimated that a large part of the reason is that these half-grown kids eat of. Seeing that the triplets are chubby, one knows that they have never been hungry on weekdays.

Chang Xiaoqi watched happily as the gray cat finished eating the two fish, and the mouth was soft. The gray cat also took pride in saying "thank you" to Chang Xiaoqi after eating, speaking in the local dialect.

Chang Xiaoqi's eyes widened, and she pointed at the gray cat with her plump fingers: "You...you can talk!"

The gray cat licked its paw and wiped its mouth, "Why can't I talk?"

Chang Xiaoqi didn't answer anymore, but looked at the gray cat silly, thought of something, immediately ran out and shouted downstairs: "Grandpa, Xiaoliu and Xiaoba, there is a smart cat here!"

The corners of Xilin's mouth twitched, it seemed that in the eyes of these little Doudings, he was a handsome guy who was far inferior to the foodie Gray Cat.

When the gray cat heard "smart cat", it immediately classified Chang Xiaoqi into the ranks of talents with discerning eyes, and squatted there with its chin raised, as if I was an elite.

The old man Chang who was repairing the machine put down his work, simply wiped his hands and walked upstairs. Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba, who were next to him, rushed upstairs immediately after hearing Chang Xiaoqi's cry.

The grandparents and grandchildren were surprised to see the cat, which was thought to be dead for a long time, squatting on the low table in a proud manner. Especially the old man Chang, who knocked this cat carefully. At first glance, he could not see any difference from other cats, but a close observation found that this cat was very spiritual.

"Grandpa, grandpa," Chang Xiaoqi took the old man's hand and said showing off, "The kitten greeted me!"

The eyes of Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba are shining. There are also pets on their street who can say a few words, but those families are all precious. The triplets have seen it a few times from a distance, and they have not been able to get close at all. . Hearing what Chang Xiaoqi said, Chang Xiaoliu and Chang Xiaoba couldn't bear it anymore, chatting around the gray cat.

Hearing the boast of the triplets, the gray cat raised its head and chest in a serious manner, and then said in a standard dialect: "Hello!"

Glancing at the serious-looking gray cat, in fact, he may be pointing at the gray cat that has been flying erratically, Xilin curled his lips, Virtue!

Xilin and Old Man Chang introduced the gray cat again: "This is a pet I met by accident a few years ago. It has been following me, and its name is Hulu."

Hearing Xilin's words, the old man Chang didn't think too deeply, just smiled and watched the triplets talking around the gray cat. However, I am still a little surprised that the cat speaks the authentic local dialect.

Xilin explained this to some people who had encountered this planet before, and the gray cat's accent was learned from them.

For Chang Xiaoqi's own initiative to give Xilin and Gray Cat the best compressed meat capsule and two compressed fish capsules, the old man Chang did not show any reluctance. …

In two days, Xilin will almost recover. When old man Chang asked Xilin about his plans, Xilin expressed his hope that he could stay here temporarily to help old man Chang. After all, Xilin was familiar with mechanical maintenance, so he didn't need to pay wages, and only had to eat and stay.

I can't go to the imperial capital for the time being. Xilin hasn't figured out the situation of the Saran Empire yet. Xilin will not act rashly, so he chooses to stay here for a while, fully recover his body, adjust his state and plan before acting. After all, Xilin has no backing here.

Old man Chang is very happy that Xilin can stay and help, and there are vacant rooms at home. The rations for an extra adult and a cat are a burden for Chang old man alone, but with Xilin's help, the harvest will be even greater , but the old man Chang insisted that he would choose to pay Xilin's wages, it's not good for young people to have no money.

Xilin and the gray cat stayed, and the happiest thing was the triplets, so that they could play with the kitten.

The triplets cheered, and the old man smiled and looked at the three little guys with loving eyes.

Xilin's current situation can't help, but Gray Cat can. So after lunch, there was such a scene in the store: three little Doudings were following a gray cat and moving parts.

But the old man Chang did save a lot of effort. When he needed any parts, the gray cat and the triplets would take them from the parts rack. Take it right.

The old man Chang was happy: it seems that this cat is not eating dry food.
