Abnormal crossing

Chapter 21 Future Partners
Then Gu Wei looked at the picture carefully for a while, and became more and more certain of his judgment.

That’s right, the Bodamon that Milo mentioned should be the counterpart of the weasel on Earth.

The reason why Gu Wei was so confident was mainly due to a female colleague in his unit when he was working in Delingha. This person liked small animals such as weasels, stoats and ferrets very much, and she would post a set of nine-square grids on her circle of friends almost every once in a while.

Through what he saw and heard, Gu Wei had acquired a certain ability to distinguish.

But what impressed Gu Wei the most was another incident - that girl had a quarrel with her boyfriend and broke up. In her grief, she angrily posted a lot of pictures, such as a great horned owl beheading an American mink, a red-tailed hawk crushing an American mink's head, and a buzzard disemboweling a white ferret, which proved that the person who is most obsessed with you is also the one who knows the most negative information about you.
Just as Gu Wei was reminiscing, Milo gently put Nuo Nuo back to the ground.

As soon as Nuonuo landed, he rushed to Jin's side and hugged Jin's long legs tightly: "Captain is bad! Nuonuo is good! Lululu~~~"

After making a face at Milo, Nuonuo looked at Gu Wei curiously and wagged his tail twice to show friendliness, but did not speak.

It can be seen that although this little guy looks lively, he is still a little shy.

I don't know if it was because of the impression when we first met, but in Gu Wei's eyes, Nuo Nuo's wagging tail looked like a waving white flag.
Hmm? Wait, ferrets and white seem to go well together.
On the other hand, the little guy's playfulness obviously did not affect Milo.

The future captain of Gu Wei simply smiled when Nuo Nuo made a face at him, and quickly shifted his attention to the remaining two people - the young girl who was surrounding Gu Wei when he woke up, and another masked man in black.

The younger girl was about 1.6 meters tall, a size smaller than Jin. She was not plump but well-proportioned and capable. She had short blue hair and wore no jewelry. The first impression she gave Gu Wei was that she was bold and capable.

As for the other man in black, his style is a bit weird. He is about the same height as Milo, covered in a black cloak, with a metal mask on his face with a slightly raised chin like an Egyptian pharaoh. He doesn't look easy to deal with at first glance.

I feel like if you give him a sickle and poke a few holes in his cloak, you can COS Conan in a few minutes
Seeing this, a question suddenly popped up in Gu Wei's mind - why are these foreigners all in human form?

Are these humanoid crew members specially selected by Milo, or are there already a large number of humanoid lives in the Star Sea civilization?

"Gu Wei, let me introduce you," Milo then walked over to the young girl closest to him, "This is Tian Li, a top-level mecha combat master, who also serves as the ship's legal advisor and cook."

Tianli gently stroked her right clavicle with two fingers, as if performing some kind of handshake-like etiquette, and smiled at Gu Wei in a friendly manner: "Just call me Li Zi, welcome to join the Fuleng Fuleng - now that you're here, I'm finally not the last one to join the fleet."

Gu Wei originally wanted to make a similar gesture in return, but his left hand couldn't move, so he could only nod instead: "Hello, please take care of me."

After saying that, Gu Wei looked at Tian Li with some curiosity: "Speaking of Aunt Tian, um, Li Zi, what is your profession?"

"It's a bit of a leap, isn't it?" Tianli stretched out her hand to touch her short hair and spoke in a brisk voice: "When I was in school, I majored in interstellar law. After studying for a long time, I finally memorized the Star Sea Code of more than 300 million words and went ashore. As a result, on the first day of graduation, an alien civilization invaded my hometown."

"At that time, I held the code and argued with the invader for a long time, but I couldn't win the argument. In anger, I rushed into a mecha to convince him with reason. After that, I realized that I had a good talent for mecha. I also thought that learning the law would not save my hometown, so I changed my job in anger."

"After leaving my hometown, I ventured into the starry sea for some time, and rose from a novice who knew nothing to a teacher. One time when I was on a mission, I ran into the captain and was tricked into boarding the ship." "As for being a chef, it's even easier. My hometown is a well-known food planet, and my parents are both well-known chefs, so I have been able to cook well since I was young - and more importantly, being a chef can earn me extra salary, so I just took on three positions at the same time."

"Sister Li Zi is actually quite amazing!" Tian Li had just finished introducing herself when Nuo Nuo, who was standing beside her, jumped up and added, "Every time the captain wanted to steal something, he would ask Sister Li Zi to forge a pass and a signature. No system has ever found out. Everyone says that without Sister Li Zi's help, the captain's reputation would be at least half as good. Ouch!"

"You're the only one who talks too much." Milo slowly retracted the finger that had knocked his head off, and explained to Gu Wei awkwardly, "Gu Wei, don't listen to this silly kid. Li Zi only helps with some clearance documents occasionally. At most, he accidentally wrote the name of the auditor. It's not a big problem, not a big problem."

Gu Wei laughed dryly: "I understand, I understand"

I see, it turns out to be a collection of Wu Erlang + Xiao Rang, the scholar with divine hands + Jin Dajian, the jade-arm craftsman + Liu Maoxing, the little chef, with gender reassignment.
By the way, the half-cook that Jin mentioned before seems to be Tianli Jianono?
He originally thought that the so-called one and a half referred to the proficiency of the craft, but he didn't expect it to literally mean one and a half heights.
"Ahem," Milo coughed lightly, bringing Gu Wei's thoughts back to reality. He quickly came to the last man in black and said, "Okay, Gu Wei, don't let small things mess up your rhythm. Next, I'll introduce you to the last crew member. This is Kai. Like Li Zi, he is a top-level mecha combat master. Kai, Li Zi and I are the combat team of our spaceship."

Compared to Tianli's efficiency, the black-clothed man named Kai just turned his head and glanced at Gu Wei. He was silent for a long time before speaking: "Hello."

Kai's voice was a little hoarse and low, and he sounded like he was in his forties or fifties. To use a phrase on Earth, his voice fits the stereotype brought about by his appearance.

However, the other party is a colleague with whom he will get along in the future after all - and it is foreseeable that this "future" will not last short, so Gu Wei still greeted Kai politely.

After finishing all this, Gu Wei swept his eyes over the things in front of him one by one.

Milo, Jin, Meow Meow, Nono, Li Zi, Kai, and Gu Wei himself, this will be his future social life. Oh, wait?

Then Gu Wei counted the number of people again and asked Jin hesitantly, "Ms. Jin, I remember you mentioned before that there were seven crew members on the ship, including Meime?"

Jin nodded: "That's right."

Gu Wei glanced at her and pointed around: "Then this is..."

There were originally seven crew members on the ship, but now there are only six people appearing in front of Gu Wei, which is obviously a discrepancy in the numbers.

"Don't worry, you didn't count wrong, and I didn't say anything wrong," Jin gestured to him to calm down, and explained, "It's just that our last crew member is a little special, and it's a little troublesome to introduce his identity. You will know it after a while. Compared to inquiring about the other party's identity, what you have to do now is the most urgent thing. You have to be mentally prepared first."

Gu Wei was stunned: "What? What do I want to do?"

"Yeah, there are quite a lot of procedures involved," Jin raised his chin and pointed in a certain direction, "We are on our way to a trading planet, and we will land soon. Firstly, this should be your first time to truly set foot on an 'alien planet', so we need to do some adaptation work. Secondly, after landing, we will also help you with some things, such as identity registration, and so on."

"Buy an entry-level mecha of your own."
